Sunnyside Church Offers a Taste of Home
Being away from home at college presents its challenges; a big one for many students is where to get a real home-cooked meal. Maybe the cafeteria? Well, they do their best, but really?! Then there are the Walla Walla University nursing students who have to deal with life, and meals, on two campuses. Challenges times two!
The Portland nursing campus, where the students do their clinical learning, is adjacent to Adventist Medical Center and the Sunnyside Church. For Sunnyside, this presented an opportunity in hospitality, relationships and friendship.
Karen and Dale Davies had been traveling around the U.S. in their motor coach for seven years before they settled down in the Portland area in 2008 and joined Sunnyside as regular members. They had been involved in youth and young adult ministries most of their life and wondered at the relative few numbers of attendees from those age groups, especially given that the nurses dorm was right next door.
They inquired at the nurse's dorm whether a ministry sponsored by Sunnyside would be welcome and got a resounding yes. As they thought about how to begin, and did some nternet research, they decided to start with two things: move-in assistance and a "Soup and Bread Nite" every Monday provided by Sunnyside volunteers.
It started simply with PB&J, cheese, lettuce and mayo, and of course bread. The menu soon expanded, as planned, to include homemade soup. That basic menu carried forward for several years.
After three years, Dale and Karen needed to step back due to health concerns, and their leadership role was filled by Bill and Ruby Hohensee, who are assisted by Lorrie Wescott and many others mentioned below.
At 5 p.m. the students "set the table" in preparation; by 5:15 p.m. the student lounge area of the dorm is filled with up to 65 hungry young people. The volunteers arrive with the food, and dinner begins. The students are grateful, as recent comments suggest:
- "I feel the love through the food." — Kathryn D.
- "It's inspiring to know there is such a generous community behind us and their generosity is such a blessing. It inspires me to be generous." — John B.
- "It means so much to have the community do this and not ask anything in return. It's an inspiring example of what it means to give." — River D.
Sometime after the Hohnensees assumed their leadership role, the menu was expanded. They now offer a variety of food over the course of the school year.
On any given Monday during the collegiate year, you may encounter sandwiches, salad and dessert or traditional haystacks. Other nights, students enjoy casseroles, spaghetti, "Hawaiian haystyacks" (fruit), or baked potatoes with fixings like homemade chili. Other favorites include breakfast-for-dinner, including eggs and pancakes, and occasional ethnic dinners like Indian, Japanese and Romanian cuisine, provided by church members from those areas of the world.
At the end of the 2011–2012 school year, a surprise awaited Sunnyside. The nursing students had dedicated their yearbook to the Sunnyside volunteers who had so generously given food, time, conversation and love to a group of young people who were away from home. Also, at the end of each school year the students — with the help of their dean — prepare a meal for the volunteers as another token of their appreciation.
This year's Soup and Bread Nite began Sept. 26 at the beginning of the school year. Current volunteers include:
- Bill and Ruby Hohensee
- Lorrie Wescott
- Russell and Camie Vickroy
- Sylvia Bokich (soup)
- Margie Allen (desserts)
- Tom and Pauline Davis
- Wellington and Darlene (Japanese dinners)
- T.W. and Rajama Philip (Indian dinner)
These Sunnyside members are putting into action the words of Rom. 12:13 (NLT): "When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality."

For anyone with more than a passing interest in the subjects covered by the title, this compendium is a masterpiece of design and execution. The 88 chapters, each by a different author or group of authors, are divided into four sections. Most chapters are brief enough to be read and digested at one sitting. With only a single topic to review (except T.S. Danowski who has two), the authors could spend the immense amount of time required to achieve completeness and conciseness.

Compile APK online
It was long time i was dreaming about ability to compile apk online. So this blog post (tutorial) will be how to prepare C9 or Goorm online IDE or any similar based on ubuntu linux to be able to develop online.
First of all, create new empty ubuntu box and resize it to 1Gb RAM and 5GB storage. Simple APK compile stull will require about 1GB of storage, but if you decide to go on gradle dependency management system- storage will grow to 2.5GB.
I prepending everyhing with sudo command, in case any permission will be missing.
Prepare your system
So lets begin from very basic. At first you need JAVA, so add OpenJDK repository and install java
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa sudo apt-get update
Install Java headless, because you do not need GUI here
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk-headless
Download SDK zip from android home. You may use my provided link
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip
Make directory for android SDK and extract ZIP
sudo mkdir -p /opt/android-sdk sudo unzip sdk-tools-linux-4333796.zip -d /opt/android-sdk
Now add environment variables to your system.
sudo nano /etc/profile
and at the very end add following lines
Always check if copying from website does not ruin you double-quotes
export ANDROID_HOME="/opt/android-sdk" export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64" export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/:$PATH
Save and exit by pressing CTRL+X on keyboard and confirming that you want to save changes by Y. Restart your machine or environment.
Now you need to add SDK, Tools and platform stuff. I have chosen 24 version so i have used this command
sudo /opt/android-sdk/tools/bin/sdkmanager "tools" "platforms;android-24" "build-tools;24.0.3"
in case you want something else or want to see available list use sdkmanager –list command
Looks like everything is prepared, now need "Hello world!" android application. You may need to prepare it according structure and create all files or You can download this HelloAndroid project and extract in in your workspace.
Steps needs to be done to get APK file
- Generate R.java file AAPT
- Compile java file with javac
- Translate it to Dalvik Bytecode with DX
- Make apk with AAPT
- Align apk package with ZIPALIGN
- Sign your apk file with APKSIGNER
AS you can see, there is a step to sign you apk install file with certificate. You can create your own. In main project directory, the same where AndroidManifest.xml file exist, run following command to create private key:
keytool -genkeypair -validity 365 -keystore mykey.keystore -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048
Answer all questions and provide password.
Thats it. Now you can create APK file from command line. To create automated, here is prepared bash script witch you should save in project root directory (the same as android manifest) and run to build your project. I have chosen to name it make.sh
- make.sh
#!/bin/bash set -e AAPT="/opt/android-sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/aapt" DX="/opt/android-sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/dx" ZIPALIGN="/opt/android-sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/zipalign" APKSIGNER="/opt/android-sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/apksigner" PLATFORM="/opt/android-sdk/platforms/android-24/android.jar" echo "Cleaning..." rm -rf obj/* rm -rf src/in/ignas/helloandroid/R.java rm -rf bin/* echo "Generating R.java file..." $AAPT package -f -m -J src -M AndroidManifest.xml -S res -I $PLATFORM echo "Compiling..." javac -d obj -classpath src -bootclasspath $PLATFORM -source 1.7 -target 1.7 src/in/ignas/helloandroid/MainActivity.java javac -d obj -classpath src -bootclasspath $PLATFORM -source 1.7 -target 1.7 src/in/ignas/helloandroid/R.java echo "Translating in Dalvik bytecode..." $DX --dex --output=classes.dex obj echo "Making APK..." $AAPT package -f -m -F bin/hello.unaligned.apk -M AndroidManifest.xml -S res -I $PLATFORM $AAPT add bin/hello.unaligned.apk classes.dex echo "Aligning and signing APK..." $ZIPALIGN -f 4 bin/hello.unaligned.apk bin/hello.apk $APKSIGNER sign --ks mykey.keystore bin/hello.apk
In case you have used different versions in sdkmanager command- edit path in header accordingly. Just run this script with following command. If you can not run it chmod +x make.sh
Script will ask password for your keystore that you provided earlier.
This solution works if your application does not have any dependencies on external libs and gradle wrapper is not used. Probably, automated install script can be made but that's for another times. In case you have any suggestions, comment or anything worth to say- comment below.
Pyle PSWWM82BK review
Hello my readers. This record will be quite different from previous, as I'll try to write review for a watch.
For quite long time I wanted hi-tech type watch. For now, technologically advanced watches is Altimeter-Barometer-Compass (ABC) watches. Also, there is wrist computers (ABC, GPS, etc) but it's not intended for everyday regular use, so I did not even considered this type of watches. I've searched for ABC watch and preselected few model: Casio Casio PRG-500, Pyle PSWWM82BK, Weather master 7. Casio was little bit to expensive for me, WM7 was bulky in view. So I've chosen Pyle. Probably it's just rebranded no-name but I liked inverted LCD, nice outfit and reasonable price.
Now let's get it to the topic, where we should be.
Manual, included with this watch is written in english and french languages. It was really good written, understandable and with nice and explainable illustrations. Everything is detailed in sections. High mark for manual!
Settings up the watch
After taking watch into hands it was disabled. As understood later- it was in sleep. Just press any button and it comes to life. Great! After reading manual I've managed to set time correctly. Also set altitude above level based on GPS measurements. 30 mins. it's all what it takes to understand what is what. After that I've put manual back to box as my watch was ready for everyday use
Every watch primary function is to tell it's wearer what time is it now. This clock show it in big digits on main screen. Above clock line you may see day of the week, bellow- date. Time and Date formats can be chosen, 12/24 hours and MM-DD or DD-MM as date. Year in not visible all the time. But why would you like to see current year? Watch as apparatus to tell time is perfect.
But hey, it also has some other great features: Chronograph up to 99 hours with 10 laps history, Count-Down timer from 99 hours, second time zone if you travel frequently or have any other needs to track time in different timezone. It has two different alarms and may chime hourly. This watch has thermometer- and it's accurate. But you have to take it off from hand to read surrounding temperature. Temp will be ready in about 10 minutes
Pyle PSWWM82 may read weather pressure and show it in different formats (mBar, hPa, InHg). It remembers hourly reading for 36 hours and may predict forthcoming weather by showing one of 4 icons: Sunny, Sun in clouds, Cloudy and Raining. Based on pressure reading this watch may calculate difference in altitude (with exception that weather not changing drastically). This instrument is accurate: at home I've set ground zero, got to work and in evening came back. At home it shown -1 meter. This misread was because air pressure is constantly changing. It shows min or max altitude, and total ascend and descend.
And one more great feature- compass. Nothing to much about it. Just need to calibrate it at beginning and set magnetic declination based on your location. If clock is not in horizontal position- upper line blinks to show it. Also it blinks if magnetic disturbance is detected- strong magnetic or electric field are detected. Compass works very well, easy to read and use. Oh, almost forgot- this gadget has EL panel as back-light. With EL Panel all face is light equally and easy to read in darkness. Not to bright if you just woke up at night and want to check time- it wont flash with light in your eyes.
Inverted LCD (when everything is black and digits are white) looks nice, easy to read in bright light or at home. But when it comes to quality of watch as item, I'm not so enthusiastic. Front face glass (crystal as other calls it) is probably mineral- in other words- glass. That's why care should be taken to preserve crystal from scratches. I've applied screen protector while this watch isn't scratched badly. Probably, some day I'll have to replace crystal, but as far as my quick research says- it not very trivial task. Front crystal size is 33mm- and it's quite usable format in nowadays- so your watch service technician should be able to do the job.
Plastic of band is quite hard (not even close to rubber or silicon) but I like it.
I've wrote this part after one month of usage
- Looks sportish
- Easy to see digits in bright sunlight and in artificial lightning.
- Night light is not to bright or to dark
- Accurate measurement and forecast
- Armband and clock is quite durable
- No noticeable time drift
I'm happy with my gadget :)
jQuery UI is now compatible with jQuery mobile
Good news for JQuery developers- two of most popular frameworks becames compatible. Now, jQuery, jQuery-Mobile and jQuery-UI could be used at the same time- no more error any more. Great!!!
jQuery 2.0.3 + jQuery-mobile 1.3.1 + jQuery-UI 1.10.3
In earlier versions I've been sacrificing jQ-UI because of compatibility issues with JQM, but now I'll use full power of jQuery without any additional3rd party plugins.
Codebender invite
Well well, after morning email check i have found invite to use CodeBender service. And what is here? Codebender is online IDE for arduino development. This service can compile you code and upload it to you local arduino device, or event remote1) Arduino device via TCP/IP. I think this will be great change from native Arduino IDE to web based full featured Arduino Integrated Development Environment
Contact system fixed
Recently, I have found out, that my contact system▼ was broken. Fixed it right know, and it should be working. Just drop me a note if you have something to say

A really good piece on fantasy and sci-fi writing.
You could argue that fantasy and science fiction are the genres where we can be most imaginative and inventive. But this very freedom brings responsibility. I see a lot of science fiction and fantasy authors who confuse the reader because they don't cover a few very important bases. And I've had to address a few of these issues myself in my sci-fi fable Lifeform Three.
1 The logic of the world must be established – and stuck to
You need to establish, early on, what can be done and what can't. If you have robots, for instance, what can and can't they do? Are they benevolent? Of course, you don't have to explain this if your story is a mystery, where the characters have to puzzle out the logic of the world, but otherwise you need to cover those bases as part of the setting description.
This particularly applies…

Thyme Guard against Asian Citrus Psyllid
Thyme Guard is a broad spectrum bactericide, fungicide and insecticide (against small sucking insects such as aphids, mites and whiteflies).
It contains two phenols which destroy membranes of fungi and bacteria; and two terpenes, which destroy insect trachea, eggs and binds to GABA, a neurotransmitter.
Thyme Guard also has two systemic modes of action against bacteria and fungi, But it is strictly a contact mode of action for the insecticidal activity.
An October 2017 trial at the UF-IFAS research station in Immokalee, nine products, (experimental and on the market), including Thyme Guard were tested against the Asian citrus psyllid.
Thyme Guard performed very well against the other products and was ranked frequently in the statistical (a) or (ab) classes.
Products were applied on October 9th and count dates and results are reflected in the charts below.
Thyme Guard was ranked third in dead/flush.
This data shows that although citrus growers are using Thyme Guard to fight HLB, canker and other diseases, they are also getting insecticidal activity, which helps reduce the overall cost per acre of the bactericidal, fungicidal and insecticidal product expense.

Certificate 15. Runtime 96 mins. Director David M Rosenthal
The Perfect Guy is available on DVD & Digital HD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
DVD Extras Include:

Master of the Galaxy: Jump to the stars and build your galactic civilization
In a distant future, nine Elder Races are expanding through space, ready to assimilate or exterminate anybody who stands in their way. To conquer the galaxy, they are challenged to choose the best combination of politics, science, trading, and conflict to reach - before the other opponents – total supremacy. In Master of the Galaxy, a fast-playing and easy to learn 4X (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate), there are many possible paths to victory, and only through a careful management of resources - without losing sight of the neighboring species - players will be able to achieve galaxy domination.
Master of the Galaxy draws inspiration from classic science-fiction, movies, and computer games, presenting a strong theme and artwork. The game uses a unique and innovative blend of bag-building, card-drafting and tech-tree development, with a gameplay characterized by deep tactics and strategies. It can be played from 2 to 4 players and a complete game requires 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number of players.
Starting with one controlled star-system, one Species card and a modest supply of resources, players will collect new resources to fuel their expansion and development to suit their strategy. They can try to quickly spread their people across the stars, to develop science to a level unreachable by the opponents, or to embark themselves on a methodical extermination of their rivals.
In his turn, each player draws three resource cubes from his bag and places them on the cards at his disposal to carry on his various projects; or on the game board, to trace new routes toward distant stellar systems; or on planets, to gain more resources to add to his bag.
Resources are divided in five different types: science, economy, industry, military, and administration, and during the game, the mix of resources they have in their bag will change. There are three ways to win: place all the nine bases on the game board, collect five supremacy symbols from their cards and systems, or defeat the starting system of another player by placing their base there.
The strategic goals will guide players how to spend their resources: through their use (and by completing projects) they may do several different things in each turn: increase resource availability and manage the mix of resources in the bag to optimize every draw; build and place bases to gain new leaders with unique features and to steal resources from the opponents; acquire new development cards to increase capacities and increase supremacy in a field; and start a conflict to expand into neutral systems or to counter other players.
Turn after turn, players must carefully choose which project to carry out, knowing there aren't endless resources and considering the importance of each project for their goals.
Development cards (commerce, expansion and progress) can boost scientific or military expansion and give one or more supremacy symbols, allowing to win the game.
Concentrating bases in a single system or focusing on development cards of the same kind will give a player great advantages, represented by the progressive development of political cards – leader, conflict and government cards. The first development of a given type, or base in a system, allows to choose a new leader card; the second a conflict card; and the third gives the powerful government card.
Leaders require you to own supremacy symbols to activate their abilities. Military conflicts can be more or less expensive and will grant different rewards – including taking away the control of a system from another player. A government card provides new projects and unique powers, which are very different from each other.
Expanding and diversifying projects will give significant advantages: new planets to extract resources and new locations where to build your bases. In addition, bordering opponents will allow to directly attack and weaken them, which may provide important benefits (but not without risks!).
Players get closer to victory turn after turn, but nothing is obvious: a development card, the sudden action of a leader, or a military conflict all can unexpectedly change the fate of the galactic conflict and decide the outcome of the game. Master these strategies and you can master the galaxy!

Why did you apply to Business Data Partners (BDP)?
BDP is a very close knit community and you can get to know pretty much everybody on a first name basis which makes you feel part of the company from day one. They offer a great two-month intensive training period where at the end you attain Base SAS certification. The training alongside exposure to client sites enable you to quickly gain the tools to become a fully-fledged consultant!
How did you find the recruitment process?
It was a very different experience when compared to recruitment processes for other companies. I actually found the process enjoyable, which is a first! The questions and activities completed make you think on your feet and give you a taste of the life of a consultant.
Do BDP offer any special perks that their competitors may not?
Absolutely! One big perk which I think is amazing is a loyalty points based system which can be put towards things such as a paid three-month sabbatical. They also offer a "Bring Your Own Device" perk, whereby you can receive payment to purchase a mobile phone for use at work.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I'm a big football fan and support Arsenal football club. I also like to play the guitar, attending gigs/music festivals and travelling to new places.

There really aren't very many activities on the late winter to-do list. I'm planning to tap maple trees this spring, so I've been acquiring supplies for that, now. Otherwise, January has been spent preparing for Moo's birthday. Not one of my favorite things. I've never been much of a birthday person, and I'm especially not fond of supplying entertainment for a bunch of snot nosed kids. But, I'm doing it because I want to make the boy happy.
The theme is "fire" because "fire's cool." Thank you. It's going to be held on a Saturday evening over the dinner hour and just past dusk so that we can have fireworks. Yes. As a matter of fact, I do rock. We'll also have a bonfire in the back yard for roasting hot dogs and s'mores if the kids don't mind doing it in the cold temperature. I figure, I can always light the grill if needed. And for dessert (with 2 esses because you always want more), flaming Baked Alaska! Boom!
Here's where things get tricky. $$$
I really want to have a pinata. I'll make one that looks like a fireball out of a balloon, paper mache, and tissue, but what of the fillers? Moo will be 10 so junkie plastic rings and the like are out. I have a nice list of ideas, but the stuff really adds up quickly, so I'll have to handle that prudently. I also wanted to have a scavenger hunt, but for real, I don't know that I can afford both.
Whose stupid idea was it that birthday guests get presents, anyway?
Otherwise, I'm planning some kind of Pin-The-Tail On The Donkey game. Not sure how to make that fire related without freaking out the kiddos. Same goes for Musical Chairs... well, I guess fire related music, huh? Oh snap! We should play Hot Potato.
Ok, well, I'll let you know how it goes... maybe. Hopefully, I'll remember to take pictures.
Chicken Fried Vogue
For 15 years and most of her adult life, Bubblez lived in the suburbs of a major metropolitan city. She enjoyed taking her children to museums, parks, and dates at Starbucks. Then Bubblez moved to the country and her En Vogue attitude got chicken fried. Her yard is a park where the neighbor's rooster won't stop crowing, Starbucks is almost an hour away, and her large collection of fancy shoes is worthless. But, living in the acres of green has presented more opportunities for living "green" as Bubblez travels the path toward self-sufficiency (and bitches ((and prays)) along the way).

Research and Policy Projects
World Bank Academic Study Visits and Policy Advice Training
Start Date: 2003
Complition Date: 2004
CEFIR was awarded a grant through the World Bank DEC Research Committee in support of two important
activities, a Visiting Speakers Program and a Study Visits program.
Project Summary:
I. The CEFIR Visiting Speakers Program
The World Bank Visiting Speakers Program was aimed at supporting the professional development of the CEFIR research group, developing an interdisciplinary approach of its economic research and policy advice, as well as cultivating
relationships with senior academics outside of Russia involved in research and political consulting in transition economies.
Visiting Speakers delivered research seminars,
or training workshops on the graduate level, to which interested researchers, professors and students of economics from various institutions were invited. Among the World Bank Visiting Speakers were:
Philippe Aghion
, Professor of Economics, Harvard University / November
, 2004
Daniel S. Hamermesh
, Professor of Economics, University of Texas at Austin / June
, 2004
Edgar Feige
, Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of
/ October
, 2003
Mark Schankerman
, Professor of Economics, London School of Economics / May 20- 23, 2003
II. Academic Study Visits and Policy Advice Training
The objective of the Study Visits program was to enhance the professional development of junior researchers at CEFIR through collaboration with senior Western colleagues and/or enrolment in specialized courses pertinent to their research interests. As a complement to academic research stays, the program also included training in policy advice and analysis. CEFIR researchers joined senior colleagues in presenting at policy conferences, giving briefings for decisionmakers or collaborating on writing policy reports. The program provided training activities for twelve members of CEFIR's research group of some thirty staff.
Results and impact
The Visiting Speakers and Study Visits programs helped build valuable frameworks for transferring knowledge about the latest analytical techniques and developments in the economics, finance, and econometric fields to young aspiring researchers at CEFIR. Equally important, they deepened the institutional environment at CEFIR by building important professional skills in presentation, treatment of comments, and research collaboration with senior colleagues.

The Arc of Memory
The trajectory of memory rises steeply away
From truth and down toward desire,
The arc bent by omnipotent time.
Each instance of recollection is refinement;
Memory washes and wraps the truth,
Sweeps up the broken glass and promises
And delivers a distilled, winnowed history.
The historical truth of your arms was violence
Mapped in needle tracks, metered in spoons.
The truth of your eyes — vacancy,
Too often feral, too often dark.
From your mouth, slurred and absurd words
Spilled like vinegared wine
But memory curves around and carries down
Poetry of the keenest intellect,
Easy as breathing;
Love mirrored in green eyes,
Like pools of mercy.
In memory I am cradled in strong arms,
Finding me in the dark. Still
Legato strains of echoed lullaby.

Sorry for the typos in yesterday's post. I was laughing so hard it affected my typing. On to today!
Missing looking at gardens every day as we did in London, the human female has lost no time in getting back out into "the field" to see what has come into flower in our absence. However, I scarcely think it counts as "getting out into the field" when you don't go more than six blocks and are never more than 100 feet from the car.
But look at that! It is basket flower time again! For some reason, the humans (accompanied today by the blue-haired goddaughter) like to take photographs of this plant every year. Why? Do they expect it to do something different?
They are strangely alluring. If somewhat difficult to climb.
Sigyn has summited this bud on her own. They really do have the most peculiar phyllaries. (I am ashamed that I know that word. The human female's nerdy botanese is wearing off on me. I think I need to go blow some things up to get my "cool" back. Query: Do the humans really need to own two vehicles?)
Sigyn, the humans will probably be quite some time trying to get the perfect photo. Might as well find a spot in the shade and have a little nap…

Indigo hand made hemp paper
Our popular indigo hemp paper is back and it's even better! Much smoother surface than the last batch making it even easier for calligraphers!
This is the most divine handmade hemp paper dyed with natural indigo - perfect for calligraphy, fine brush and pen work. Due to the handmade organic nature, each piece varies in colour and texture and has a raw deckled edge finish.
I had the pleasure of watching the process of this decadent paper being made in India and as you can see from the pic, each piece was brush dyed one by one (with natural indigo) and then hung to dry before it's pressed.
The process is completely manual and labour intensive.
Meeting the family and watching this beautiful process made me appreciate and love this paper even more. And I hope you know how far your support is reaching.
If you decide to purchase, please send us a picture of the end result (or tag us on IG), we'd love to see!!
A6 and A5 available.
A5 - 5.8 inches x 8.2 inches (148mm x 210mm) (approx.)
Returns: Please note, returns are not accepted on handmade paper.

While dwelling in our fertile garden, planting and nourishing your seeds, you may one day become conscious of the deeper and wider aspects of GNH, its underlying patterns of wisdom and compassion. It may be that day when the sun is shining, the garden is peaceful and flourishing, while you are relaxed and at ease, or that day when the garden seems dead and ugly, when all plants are dying while your seed gives no sprout and you want to give up. It may be the day when you look up and suddenly sense that the garden might be so much larger than you ever imagined, or the day when it feels way to narrow and small. Whatever the season, whether, mood or mindset, there will come a day in this garden, when the deeper questions arise from within:
- What is the deeper meaning and purpose of the GNH principles – for me personally?
- What is the point of the iterative planting and harvesting time after time?
- How do I/we make use of and transform fears and negative feelings?
- How can I cultivate deeper wisdom and compassion?
- How do I move, when the whole world is my body?
- How do we consciously co-design our patterns?
- What is the nature of consciousness?
- Am I dead or alive – or in between?
- Who am I, really?
Let me guide you
When these or similar questions arise, let us then sit side by side in the garden temple. Let us calmly reflect and align with what is, whatever it is. There may be words, there may be silence, there may be deep meditation or transforming tools, where you learn to transform your fears into light. There may be guidance or friendship or simply this being, this peaceful abiding. And your growing seeds.

In Memory of Conner, CGC
It's almost like yesterday, though it was at least 10 or 12 years ago, when I came upon AARF and 'Conner'. My first ever dog of my own had died at home with a veterinarian's help. And after a month of searching for Labrador Retrievers and narrowing my search to three breeds, I happened by an adoption stand for AARF and met Paula Handley.
Paula and her husband had several dogs of their own and their very first 'foster' dog was a black Flatcoated Retriever named 'Conner'. And he had something about him that I knew was special. I went to Paula's home to see him 'in action' in their yard with other dogs, and to see how he moved and played. And I felt that he was the dog for me; soon I was cleared to adopt him and started an adventure.
I met Donna Crumpler, a court expert witness and trainer and she helped me understand him. I took him through 4 different training classes and he always shone. And at the last one, I noticed some event was underway after my weekly class and found it was the 'CGC' test. That day I learned what Canine Good Citizen meant and for fun, I paid the $10 fee to try the test with Conner.
You know where this is going, right? He barely passed the test and the tester was stunned that Conner had not taken the class for CGC. I was not really surprised, because I knew some things about Conner... - a shelter worker called AARF to ask that they come see Conner because he was 'slick as an onion' and so obviously not just another dog. - I knew Conner had been bounced around to several homes and at one point lived out of garbage cans. - I knew that AARF volunteer Janet knew Conner and loved him. - I knew that Conner was very trainable and smart and had it confirmed by a professional trainer and temperament tester and trial court expert witness (about dog aggression).
Along the way, Conner died of a fast developing cancer at about age 5. And at some point later, I dreamed a remarkable 'lucid dream' one winter night in which a dog like Conner gave me a silent message. That message became the theme of the poem and later the title song of my first CD record ('Earthly Angels') that features two 'dog anthems'. And that dream led to my first book (unpublished but well reviewed by Dr. Ian Dunbar of British television fame). Conner awoke in me a realization that serious love songs that celebrate the dog/human relationship can become a niche market, just as Petco and dog books, and dog calendars do.
'Conner' came into my life as an AARF 'rescue', like Lydia and King have, as each narrowly missed disaster of a different sort on their way to me. So, here is my favorite poem that came to me years ago as I thought about 'Conner' and what he opened my eyes and heart to...
A Dog's Prayer ...
Hear my silent voice, ancient as the wind and land
Yet I, a simple beast, reveal the deepest heart of Man.
Most noble of all creatures great and small, incapable of speech or guile,
I alone the only friend to Man, ever faithful, never failing all the while.
My only role, unchanging through all time
to serve Him who created me and mine:
A lower god 'twixt Heaven and earth,
of all God's blessings I became
Man's friend, protector, and earthly angel first.
Though innocent of sins or shame,
yet I would bear the pain for those of Man
in cruelty toward me and countless others at his fickle hand.
My noble mind and voice, though silent, speak with soft intent:
reviled by few, loved by some, known to all in God's firmament.
Before my flight from earthly realm,
Thy will be done in earth and Heaven,
and neither life nor death itself defeat my firm devotion given.
Yet, hear a humble servant's plea:
to be with Man my only prayer, to serve my only destiny.
For if the earth and all within shall pass away and justice reign at last,
then I and Man shall dwell as one, united as in ages past.
I am the Dog, a crowning jewel o'er every worldly treasure,
my dignity a lyric deep beyond Man's clever count and measure.
Yet I alone have stayed the course of nature's path
'til Man arise from selfish dream to know me as I am,
at last...

The annual Abbey College Manchester Art and Photography trip is always a much anticipated event, and this year was no different. The trip this year took students to the beautiful Spanish city of Valencia. Set on the Spanish east coast, Valencia is Spain's third largest city after Madrid and Barcelona.
The trip started with a guided walking tour of the historic old city. Students saw some of the important buildings of the city like the beautifully restored trading centre the Silk Exchange, and the famous Valencia Cathedral that claims to hold the Holy Grail. Students tried traditional food and drink during a walk through the streets and Central Market, trying horchata, fartons and paella, all in some glorious Spanish sunshine.
Each day the students explored and photographed a different area of the city ranging from some extremely modern architecture at the city of Arts and Sciences to the historic Old Town with its walls covered with expressive street art. The contrast between the old and new of Valencia was also seen in the historical works of art on show at the Fine Arts Museum and the challenging contemporary work on display at the Institute of Modern Art.
On the last day, the students visited Oceanografic, a huge aquarium where sharks, dolphins and jellyfish all swam. Students were treated to a final dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. Everyone agreed that the trip was a resounding success and couldn't wait for next year's trip.
Abbey College Manchester is part of the Abbey DLD Group of Colleges.

Work smarter, not harder.
Introducing the enduroTEQ Companion App
Innovation doesn't always come in the form of a new chemical or piece of equipment. Sometimes an innovation simply helps people work more efficiently. AP Tech recently launched an app to help you work smarter, not harder!
If you want to figure out what those green and red lights on your dissolver indicate, and you want to do it quickly, we now have an app for that.
The new enduroTEQ Ultra-S Companion App is an effective tool to guide you through the performance condition of your dissolver.
Available for both Apple and Android devices, the app will help you decipher what the green and red lights on your dissolver are communicating. Simply download the app and follow the prompts in regard to the blinking sequence that your dissolver is presenting. It will guide you through a series of "yes" or "no" questions to get you the answer you need. It will eliminate the frustration of scrambling through your notes to find an answer and save you from having to place a phone call.
We hope you'll benefit from this new tool and it will help you continue to work smarter!

Dark Purple Bath Rug Set - Part of successfully decorating a bathroom to meet with your needs is including those components that reflect your very personal fashion. Toilet carpet because of affordability and its versatility is just one of the most easy accessories to utilize in the transformation of a bathroom. Rugs can always be found to complement the style of your bathroom.
A warmly colored bathroom with ceramic tile may be supplemented by way of a soft, warm colored carpet; a contemporary designed bathroom may benefit from a strong colored bath carpet that is less luxurious and textured.
There are various ways to incorporate a bathroom carpet into your general bathroom design. Additionally, to kind, the bathroom carpet provides its share of function also. A carpet can offer warmth on an otherwise cold flooring; there is nothing worse than stepping onto a cold, hard flooring out of a shower.
Another extra convenience of a bathroom carpet is its availability. Rugs can be found in any number of retail stores, home improvement stores, and even online for the easy shopping right from your own house and having your goods shipped straight to your own door.
A bathroom is an incredibly personal space; that which offers refuge and comfort in a world where we are scarcely left in peace. But to optimize effect and the power your bathroom space may have in your lifetime, its decor must reflect the fashion that is unique you. Do not hold back when it comes to adding your personal touches to your bathroom - including the addition of a bathroom carpet. The result is a room that envelops you in familiarity and comfort and shows your fashion.

It's the last day of the year, time to look back and see what caught your attention in 2014. It's a surprising collection (well, I was surprised, anyway) but then it's always the posts you least expect that rocket to the top of the popularity charts. So here they are. Continue reading

Brilliant! Sensing Spaces at the Royal Academy
If you're thinking of going to see the new architecture exhibition at the Royal Academy, Sensing Spaces (opening this Saturday), but aren't sure if you'd like it, hesitate no more – just book a ticket and go. It's one of the most enjoyable exhibitions I've been to in a long time. It's about the human experience of architecture – how we react to it and how it makes us feel. It explores these things through a series of installations by seven architects, each one with a different take on the spaces architecture creates, and all of them challenging the imagination in different ways.

Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2013
The RA Summer Exhibition is here again! As reliable a sign of summer as Wimbledon, Royal Ascot and Glasto, it's been held every year since 1769 and is open to 'all artists of distinguished merit' – in other words, anybody at all, so long as their work is good enough. This year over a thousand works in all styles and media made the grade and they're all (or nearly all) for sale. Here's my personal pick of the best – along with a quick introduction to the five Japanese artists in the show. Continue reading
Channelling the winter solstice – Mariko Mori at the Royal Academy
The first thing you need to know about the Mariko Mori exhibition at the Royal Academy is that it's not where you think it is. Swanning into the main entrance on Piccadilly will get you nowhere – it's round the back in the new Burlington Galleries on Burlington Street. If you get it wrong, nip down the Burlington Arcade and turn right. The other thing you need to know is that it's unexpectedly entertaining. Continue reading

What's more badass than bong covered in skulls and cartoon derby gals? The fact that it's made of silicone! As unbreakable as a blind side C-block, this beautiful beaker is perfect for home or on the go (on skates, even!). 6" down the neck is a divider with a small center hole that acts as a perc-like filter as well as an ice pinch. Stay cool on those hot wheels with the Roller Derby Silicone Bong.

About Me
- Name: Ryan
- Location: Athens, Ga, United States
Our son Ryan was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma in 2004. In 2007, my wife Missy was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. On July 8th, 2009, Missy lost her battle to this horrible disease. 2 days later, on July 10th, Ryan also lost his. Together forever, they both watch over our family now from the heavens above. Below is our families journey through Ryan's treatments, along with the joy and laughter we tried to instill into our daily lives. Those days helped us all cope with the pain and suffering that comes with cancer and it's deadly treatments. Both Missy and Ryan endured high doses of chemo, radiation and surgeries. Over 150 nights spent in the hospital and many, many more days. More transfusions than I could count. Yet both Missy and Ryan took on each day with a positive attitude and warm smile for all their friends. We miss them terribly. They will always be a shining light in our lives.

Was Santa ever good to us!!
Wednesday, December 24, 2008
Merry Christmas to all !
Lynn Crow shot the photo above and about 300 more. Hamilton Mill Publix brought the kids a present each and us a gift card. The decorating team that Kristin help put together really lifted us into and kept us in the Christmas mood, that was so important to us. We have had many, many visitors bringing us gifts and good tidings. We are very fortunate to have hundreds of people that care enough to go out of their way to bring joy into our lives. Most of you have been brought into our lives by the angel hallows that surround Missy and Ryan. They are good and caring. Both relish in bringing a smile to the faces of everyone they meet. They are why we have a small army helping our family through the toughest of times.
So Thank you again, one and all, and especially to my Missy and Ryan. With Hope and Belief, Merry Christmas. Les, Missy, Heidi, Will and SuperRyan.

A Wonderful Holiday Gathering!
He's counting down the days...
Ryan is doing ok. He is so dried out from the Accutane. 2 more days. He finished radiation on Friday. Thank you, Karyn, and all the wonderful women who took care of him. They arranged for Georgia State Patrol officer, Curtis Bradshaw, to meet Ryan and give him a special gift-a football signed by Mark Richt just for Ryan. He loved it and he loved sitting in the patrol car and turning on all the lights! Thank ya'll so very much!
We are looking forward to a visit from our friends, the Howards, tomorrow. It will definitely be a fun time. Thank you for your prayers for Ryan and for me. Please keep praying for a cure for this terrible disease and a cure for all cancers. Pray for all the children fighting, for Jackson and for Joshua, and so many others. Hold your family and friends close and be thankful for everyday. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan
