2017 Curiosity Challenge
Are you curious? That is the first prompt for the Curiosity Challenge sponsored by the Cambridge (MA) Science Festival, which wraps up this Sunday, April 23rd. Park's Upper and Middle Division students got curious and then submitted their questions to this year's challenge. Our students wrote such good questions – all of the entries were wonderful. Six Park students were even chosen as winners.
In the Upper Division, one of the Habits for Scholarship and Citizenship is curiosity. We have defined curiosity as the following: Curiosity is the desire to personally connect with learning. This begins with a sense of wonder, requires an open mind and a comfort with not yet knowing, and leads to learning for its own sake. This definition is so powerful! Connecting with learning, a comfort with not yet knowing, and learning for its own sake are three extraordinarily important things. Add a sense of wonder, and you have the magic that is curiosity.
Take a look at this video created by Science teacher, Karen Manning, if you are curious to see what your children are curious about. And then be sure to get curious yourself and ask your children what else they are wondering.

Not Even to Montreal?
James Salter, Light Years (1975)
James Salter is one of those writers whose books I always start with a lot of excitement, expecting them to be among the best novels I've ever read; they start well, and then after about fifty pages I find myself irritated by what seems to me an increasingly mannered and precious style. (I talked a bit about this in the post on All That Is, which also mentions Canada.) Light Years, sadly, followed exactly that pattern. It's about Nedra and Viri, a couple with two daughters who have what appears to be a perfect marriage and live a fabulous, cultured life in their gorgeous house just outside New York City, on the Hudson River. Salter's goal here, I think, is to capture the key moments of life, in all their intense beauty or pain, but also to give a sense of how quickly those moments, and life itself, slip past. There are certainly some gorgeous passages, but the book becomes more trite as it goes on, and by the end it completely falls apart — I don't know if there are words to describe the grating tedium of the last section of this novel.
But to come to the point…
A Reasonable Facsimile of Europe
The most interesting reference to Canada is part of a scene in which Nedra and Kate, the teenaged daughter of one of Nedra and Viri's neighbours, are arranging to meet:
The elegance of the evening, the dishes remaining on the table, the ease with which Nedra and her husband treated each other, the understanding which seemed to stream from them, all of this filled Kate with a feverish happiness, that happiness which lies within the power of another to confer. She was drenched with love for these people who, though they had lived nearby all through her childhood, it seemed she was suddenly seeing for the first time, who were treating her as someone she longed at that moment to be: one of themselves.
"Can I come and see you while I'm here?" she asked.
"Of course."
"I mean, I really like to talk to you."
"I'd love to see you," Nedra said.
One afternoon, then. They would walk together or have tea. She had never set foot beyond the borders, this woman Kate suddenly loved, this woman with a knowing face, not at all sentimental, who leaned on her elbows and smoked small cigars. She had never traveled, not even to Montreal, and yet she knew so well what life should be. It was true. In her heart she carried an instinct like that of a migrant species. She would find the tundra, the deeps, she would journey home. (157-58)
Not even to Montreal! This is a marvellous detail, as it shows that Montreal, as a largely French-speaking city in North America, represents a sort of baseline of sophistication for cultured Americans, as if to say, if you can't get to Europe, at least go to Montreal. The idea seems to be that Montreal will provide some facsimile of the experience of travelling to Europe, and while it obviously won't be the same, at least it's something.
As the novel proceeds, it turns out that far from being some rich girl brought up in luxury, Nedra actually grew up as the daughter of a relatively poor, chain-smoking travelling salesman in a small town in Pennsylvania. The reference to Montreal is an important element in the novel because it punctures the image we have of her and reveals one of the central contradictions of Nedra's character: her appearance of sophistication despite her lack of any of the experiences or accomplishments that normally confer sophistication on a person.
Flying and Fishing, But Not Necessarily Fly-Fishing
There are a couple of minor references to Canada, which I'll just note in passing. The first picks up on the reference above about travelling to Montreal, and comes as Danny, one of Viri and Nedra's daughters, lies in bed with her boyfriend after losing her virginity:
She did not move. I have done it, she thought. The light that came through the windows was wintry. There was a bite to the air, as of coal. High up, faint, the sound of a jet crossing the city, en route to Canada, France. (192)
The way Canada and France are placed together at the end of the sentence as possible destinations one might be flying to from New York seems an odd confirmation of the idea quoted above, that Canada is in some sense an alternate Europe. (In a weird way, the use of the comma rather than "or" almost makes it sound as if Canada is a place in France, like "Paris, France". If only!)
The other reference is part of a description of a character named Peter Daro:
His great love was fishing. He had fished in Ireland, the Restigouche, he had fished the Frying Pan and the Esopus. (248)
The Restigouche is a river in New Brunswick and is famous for its salmon fishing.
This reference, incidentally, is part of a growing pattern, which we have also seen in John Cheever and Frederick Exley, and suggests that mid-century male novelists primarily view Canada as a place to go fishing.
Neil Young, Of Course
It's just very difficult to avoid references to Neil Young. In this scene, Viri gets drunk at a party and has an encounter with a much younger woman:
His attention was drawn back to Candis. She was sitting near him and was talking about the first thing men look at in a woman. Someone said it was the hands and feet.
"Not quite," she said.
Together they found themselves going through the phonograph records.
"Is there any Neil Young?" she asked.
"I don't know. Look at this."
"Oh, God."
It was a record of Maurice Chevalier. They put it on.
"Now there's a life," Viri said. "Menilmontant, Mistinguett…"
"What's that?"
"The thirties. Both wars. He used to say that until he was fifty he lived from the waist down, and after fifty, from the waist up. I wish I could speak French."
"Well, you can, can't you?"
"Oh, just enough to understand these songs."
There was a pause. "He's singing in English," she said. (228)
I quoted a little more than necessary there, I suppose, just so I could include the joke at the end — Salter can be a very funny writer. The point here, obviously, is the generation gap between Viri and Candis — he's into Maurice Chevalier, she's looking for Neil Young — and we can just note that, as in Meg Wolitzer and Lorrie Moore, among others, it's a Canadian who represents the idea of "singer the kids are listening to these days."
Salter's Style (Unrelated to Canada)
I was planning to write a long, involved consideration of Salter's style here, but I find I don't really have the time or the energy to tackle it, so instead, I'm just going to look at one example. Before I begin, though, I should say that Salter can write beautifully, and if you've never read him, he's worth a look.
But as I noted above, I found his style increasingly grating as I went on, for a variety of reasons I suppose, but I want to talk about what I think we can learn from this passage:
Eve was tall. Her face had cheekbones.
Those two sentences appear at the beginning of one of the chapters in Light Years. Now, far be it from me to quibble with a great writer, but there is something going on here that I find troubling.
I'm not sure how to describe this — is it redundancy? is it obviousness? is it tautologous? is it pleonastic? Of course her face had cheekbones; all faces have cheekbones. But the more interesting question to me is, how does a writer — and particularly a talented writer — write a sentence like "Her face had cheekbones"? My personal theory is that he doesn't, really; he revises his way into it after first writing a somewhat different sentence, a sentence along the lines of "Her face was distinguished by prominent cheekbones," but then deciding that that is a cliché, and revising it to something like, "She had prominent cheekbones" — but after a while that, too, seems to be a cliché, and finally the writer, searching for the taut, pared-down, lapidary style that authors of Salter's generation, all following in the hallowed steps of Hemingway, were always seeking, settles on "Her face had cheekbones." Clearly this sentence cannot have only its literal meaning, because if it did it would be simply stupid; it must stand in for some idea along the lines of, "She had prominent cheekbones," but the writer, in his horror of cliché, has settled on this weirdly obvious statement as the best way to convey that — and so has come dangerously close to conveying nothing at all.
This kind of squeamishness is balanced by the other aspect of Salter's style, which is a striving poeticism that, at its worst, turns into overwriting. (See the beginning of the first quoted passage, above, which reads like a breathless profile of a celebrity couple in a glossy magazine.) I'm all for writing that is beautiful, but when I can feel the author trying to make his writing beautiful, I think there's a problem. Salter, as a stylist, sometimes feels like a model who can't stop looking at himself in the mirror.

Back in the day we would head to the party scene
moon gleam house beam
lights blue red and green girls
on the attic level step to the wailing treble clef
big loose bouncing breasts arrest me, confess
see best on beer and L-S-D, and bets be clear, okay
ill let all twelve undress me but be careful down there
cause he gets testy! blear the beats and let the neighbors fear
that unless we, decide to waiver our attention span
toward the next beat, and onto the next street, and
unless I'm going home with this girlie,
we aint stopping earlier then early,
might as well join us cause the destination surly,
pack a bowl, steady soul condoles an ancient yearning,
line the cups, kiss the ball for good luck and throw it toward a stouty mush,
oh the line is getting heavy?
yeah well we don't really give a fuck,
I solemnly promise without your fancy strut,
cheer will bloom inside like you were a chia rug,
your only in my room to get a couple nugs
and as luck would have it
I need a few bucks to restock
the pbr and tomorrows lunch, swallow all that bitter stuff
persuading you your not enough
find a hobby, drug, ambition, mission, or a better stunt,
either way we know the way, three kegs and they pay, two more on Tuesday,
and that's the weeks beginning,
winning since the entire spectrum of education
is laced with potent living,
and at 21 receive a riveting rendition
of a tradition where modern man's young sits to listen, it goes
Manhood is now consisting of consistent pissing in arbitrary locations and wishing for a better vocation is just a persistent mind misfit curable with whatever's listed on the drug companies hit list. and listless, as you search for the mystic rest assured, your taxes cover big brothers attempt to kill your mind and craft another, perpetually preventing wonder and setting asunder your only true chance to satiate a primordial hunger. Until then enjoy the blunder, party hardy and always wear a rubber.

Northern Grasshopper Mouse
Rodentia : Family Muridae : Onychomys
leucogaster (Wied)
Description. A stout-bodied, short-tailed
mouse similar to O. arenicola
but larger, heavier, and shorter-tailed; upperparts drab
brown; the nose, sides, cheeks, and underparts white;
tuft at anterior base of ear white and conspicuous; tail
usually less than 30% of total length and usually from 11/2
to two times as long as hind foot. External measurements
average: total length, 164 mm; tail, 42 mm; hind foot, 22
mm. Weight, 27-46 g, occasionally as much as 52 g.
Distribution in Texas. Throughout most of
western Texas (except the central part of the
Trans-Pecos) and the Rio Grande Plains of South Texas.
Habits. These
"predatory" mice occur chiefly in association
with sandy or powdery soils in grasslands or open
brushlands, but they are never very common as compared
with other small mammals.
They are wanderers and do not live long
in one place. They are reputed to usurp the burrows of
other small mammals rather than take the time to
construct their own. This is in keeping with their
pugnacious disposition. Vernon Bailey attributes to them
many of the habits of the weasel and compares one of
their calls with the howl of a wolf which "is made
with raised nose and open mouth in perfect wolf
form." Because of their short legs and chunky body
they are not fleet-footed, but they are expert at
dodging, twisting, and turning and in close quarters can
easily capture and overpower other mice their own size or
even larger.
As the name implies, one of their chief
food items in season is grasshoppers. In addition,
numerous other kinds of insects, scorpions, small mice,
and a variety of plants contribute to their diet.
Captives are especially fond of raw liver and newborn
mice. Vernon Bailey and Charles Sperry report that animal
matter makes up nearly 89% of their natural food; plant
material comprises only 11%.
The breeding season extends at least
from May to October, as judged from pregnancy records.
The capture of half-grown young in the dark juvenile
pelage from February to September indicates that some
breeding occurs throughout much of the year. The bulk of
the young are born in May and June, however. The litter
varies from two to six; average about four.
The gestation period varies from 32 to
47 days, with the longer periods in lactating females. At
birth the young are pink and hairless (except for the
prominent vibrissae), and weigh about 2 g each. The eyes
and ears are closed, and the tail is characteristically
short and thick. Within 3 days the ears unfold, but the
eyes remain closed until the 19th or 20th day, at which
time the young mice are almost weaned. They are probably
evicted from the nest shortly after. Sexual maturity is
reached in about 3 months when the mice are still in the
soft, gray juvenile pelage.
Because of their fondness for insects
and small mice their economic status is either neutral or

Below are some of our frequently asked questions. If you have any other
questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Why did my rates go up?As most all of us know rates will increase due to moving violations or claims but sometimes they just go up. Insurance rates are based on the companies overall claims experience. We all contribute to a pool of funds (premiums) that are made available for all policy holders to draw from in the event of a claim. Occasionally due to rising claim costs on a whole rates are adjusted for everyone to assure sufficient reserves are available for future claims.Back to TopWhat is insurance scoring?An insurance score is a number based on information found in your credit report. Insurance companies look at many factors to determine rates. It has been found that people with lower insurance scores tend to have more claims than those with higher scores. Based on the research of the Casualty Actuarial Society, as a group those with lower scores pose a greater risk. An important consideration determined by the American Insurance Association and the Virginia Bureau of Insurance found that insurance scores and income are not related.
Back to TopCan I make a partial payment?In most cases yes. You can request a change to your billing plan at any time (unless you are currently in a cancelation status). Please contact our office for assistance.

Norway: Fitjar
In between cities, we had to stop by Fitjar because this is where our line of the Ellingsons come from. Mons Ellingson left from this very city when he was only 9 to become an apprentice on a ship. He is Matt's great-great grandpa. Matt when to their town records and even found his name. This was an awesome stop to see where our heritage comes from.

No Bake Patriotic Cheesecake Parfaits
Fireworks, picnics, cottages, bon fires...... If you live in the United States, the most beloved of all summer holidays is the Fourth of July. A time when our country celebrates its independence from Great Britain. A time for family, friends and celebration with food and drinks.
The American flag sways proudly in the wind, it's red white and blue symbolizing the freedoms we have in this great country of ours. Many of our barbecues will incorporate the colors of our sacred flag. No bake berry cheesecake parfaits are a simple, creamy and very patriotic way to add color to your Fourth of July barbecue. No bake means no oven to heat up, and this delicious dessert can even be made a few days ahead of time and be stored in the fridge!
No bake berry cheesecake parfaits are the perfect way for small children to help out in the kitchen, too! Instead of using a food processor to crush the graham crackers, place the crackers into a large Ziploc bag, close securely and roll over the bag with a wooden rolling pin. You can even let the kids layer the desserts into parfait glasses or clear plastic cups. It's just that easy!
If you have visited our website before, you know that we can't make any dessert without the addition of vanilla or a vanilla based product.... So, the addition of Beanilla vanilla bean paste is essential to creating the perfect no bake berry cheesecake parfait.
Vanilla Bean Paste is smooth, rich and creamy. Vanilla paste awards the simplicity of using vanilla extract while allowing the convenience, flavor and appearance of using whole vanilla beans. Our 3-Fold Madagascar Vanilla Bean Paste is made using three times as many vanilla beans as our single fold extracts. We are all familiar with vanilla extract, the most popular flavor in the world. Now we offer the same full-bodied vanilla flavor with a unique twist: the addition of the distinctive vanilla seeds in a rich concentrated paste. Use vanilla bean paste's thicker viscosity to flavor cakes, puddings, cookies, custards, icing, frosting's, whipped cream, ice cream or anywhere the flavor and appearance of vanilla bean is desired. Using vanilla bean paste saves the effort of scraping the seeds from the whole vanilla bean.
We wish you a weekend filled with family, friends, great food and the celebration of our freedom! Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Beanilla!

Footprint LUCK Canvas
After being inspired to make the "LOVE" hand and footprint canvas that was all over Pinterest for Valentine's Day, I thought I would take a shot at making one for St. Patrick's Day with the popular "LUCK" theme. I started off with a 12x12 canvas that I purchased from Hobby Lobby. I got 40% off for using the internet coupon, which, by the way, is always available online. Not quite sure if they want you to figure that out or not.
I used green paint and let my daughter go crazy. When she was done, I made sure to smooth out the paint strokes and let it dry.
I then cut out the shamrock and letters "L" and "K" out of patterned scrapbook paper with my craft cutter machine. The font I used was Tightrope. You can find it here. I decided to have the kiddos do the footprint part first before adding the letters, just in case we had to do a redo or touch-up. My three-year old was more than eager to cooperate; but my 3 month-old, not so much. The footprint "C" is less open than I had envisioned it, but beggars can't be choosers when it comes to the interest level and cooperation of our fickle little children. And no matter what, those are the footprints of my little ones frozen at this moment in time. You can be sure that I will be displaying this with pride every year for St. Patrick's Day!

What do you do when your sweet child (most likely a boy) suddenly turns everything – sticks, his finger, his sister's Barbie doll – into a toy gun?
Why do children engage in pretend gun play? And what should parents do about it?
Violence Pervades Children's Media
Media representations of violence assault children on a daily basis.
Children ages 3-7 watch an average of three hours of television per day, much of it focused on violence – either "for fun" in cartoons and other fictional stories, or on the news.
According to Diane Levin and Nancy Carlsson-Paige in their book, The War Play Dilemma, "it is now estimated that by the end of elementary school, the average child will have seen 8,000 murders and 100,000 other acts of violence on the TV screen."
Additionally, PG-13 and R rated movies often have toy, clothing, and costume tie-ins marketed to an audience far younger than the recommended viewing ages for the movies themselves. Even PG movies may heavily feature fighting sequences; LEGO recommends its Star Wars sets for children as young as five, and four year-olds can dress up in Iron Man costumes. Society bombards children – particularly boys – with powerful and seemingly positive images of aggression.
Children Use Pretend Play to Work Through Real Issues
According to Dr. Todd Huffman, a pediatrician in Eugene, Oregon, children re-enact the scripts that they know. These scripts can come from television, books, parents, older siblings, or playmates. Children exposed to violence will incorporate it into their play. According to Dr. Huffman, this type of pretend play is not necessarily harmful.
Play is a way for children to solve problems, release frustration, and to test or even "change" the script. He gives an example of children playing cops and robbers. For the game to work, children need to change the rules about death unless they want the game to end as soon as one person is "shot." Children often take turns playing each role and spend time negotiating the rules of their pretend play, practicing social skills along the way.
Pretend Violence Does Not Lead to Real Violence
Dr. Huffman explained to Decoded Parenting that pretend violence is not typically a precursor to the real thing. As long as children follow the negotiated rules, everyone's laughing, all children are having fun, and there is no actual aggression involved, such play is harmless.
Parents will want to step in if children do express a real intent to harm another in play or if they use play guns outside of a play context; for example, if a child points his "shooting" finger at his sister when he is mad at her.
Parents may want to refrain from "arming" their children with realistic toy guns. Sticks, block guns, and guns built from other found objects bring an imagination component to the child's play and encourage them to create their own worlds.
Plastic guns modeled after ones in a movie encourage children to follow the script as already written. They can also pose a danger to the child using them in certain situations.
No parent wants an armed adult to mistake their child's realistic-looking toy gun for the real thing, and federal law now requires all newly manufactured toy guns to feature orange caps to distinguish between real and toy firearms.
Preschool Pretend vs. Pre-Teen Video Games
Dr. Huffman also makes a distinction between the pretend play of a preschooler and the video games of a pre-teen. Pretend play involves imagination, negotiation of rules, and social interaction between players. Children learn to regulate their behavior based on the needs of their playmates, as when one child dials back the rough-housing because his friend asks for a break.
Gaming, even if done side by side, is a solitary endeavor. The computer has no feelings, doesn't adapt based on the controller's emotions and doesn't ask the controller to adapt. There is no social-emotional learning taking place.
The bottom line for parents is that children who adopt pretend gun play are not necessarily destined to become the neighborhood vigilante, and such play will not "teach" him violence.
However, parents can, and should, create boundaries. If pretend weapon play is the only game your child knows, and that play consists of not much more than saying "bang" while jumping around, he may need access to a different "script."
Limit or manage TV viewing with violent content, and introduce your child to other types of active play. You can also place limits on the appropriate places and time for gun play.
Gun Play: Normal Development Stage
For some children, pretend gun play helps them process violent images. For other children, it is a way of safely dealing with feelings of aggression. For most children, it is a stage that will eventually pass. Parents can let the play continue as long as there is no real aggression and the play does not become an obsession.

Two groups have been very active in not only obtaining donations for their cause but also promoting awareness about the atrocities faced by Tibetans at the hands of the Chinese government. The Karma Underground (TKU) and KarmaBlast are art organizations that have worked tirelessly to create an awareness around the Tibet and it's peaceful non-resistant internal conflict with the Chinese government.
Both TKU and KarmaBlast joined forces to curate an inspiring show on September 12, 2012 at Art Share LA based in Los Angeles, California to raise funds for the people of Tibet.
Established and up-and-coming artists alike selflessly donated pieces for the deserving cause. The walls were filled with work from the likes of artists Allison Torneros, Andrea Lahue, Angela Clayton, B+, BD Miller, Birdman, Brenda Proudfoot, Casey Gray, Chuck P, Coop, Cyrcle, Daniel Jung, Dawn Wirth, Deedee Cheriel, Devin Liston, D Young V, E , Eddie Colla , Edition 100, Eric Pederson, Erwin Recinos, Esther Pearl Watson, Filthgrime, Gilbert Johnquest, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Heather Hoxsey, Henry Rollins, Ken Lee, Hugh Leeman, James Moreno, Jeffrey Vincent Parise, Jennifer Lafferty, John Carr, John Park, Kevin Rolly, Kiino Villand, Kofie, Koffinz, Lantz Huston, Laura Shumate, Leba, Lydia Emily, Malleus, Margaret Leahy, Mark Todd, Michaela Devon Kary, Mike Maxwell, Miles Thompson, Paul Chatem, Rich DeSimone/Lucky Bunny, Risk, Sage Vaughn, SALTR, Samir ìEVOLî Arghandwall of Seventh Letter, Sean Cheetham, SEEN, Sequoia Emmanuelle, Shaun Roberts, Shaunna Peterson, Shepard Fairey, Skyler Grey, Sophia Gasparian, Steven Ballinger, Tada Chae, Tara McPherson, Texas Tom Carr, Tim Kerr, Brendan Behan, Ruby Hurley, Medgar Evers, Tom Neely and Van Arno.
Many of the artists involved also have participated in the groups' popular projection hijacks which have hit LA and San Francisco.
Accompanying the art on the walls was DJ sets by J. Rocc, Tick (Latch Brothers/Routines/Dragons), Kiino Villand and guests and a live painting by Sami Arghandwall of Seventh Letter. Hit + Run offered live screen prints and limited editions prints by Melleus. The show was made possible by gracious support from sponsors such as 12ozProphet, Art Share LA, Cartwheel, Cool Haus, Edition One Hundred, Endless Canvas, Hit + Run, Karma Blast, Komodo, LA Taco, LAB ART, LALA Arts, Mad Props, Malleus, The Do Lab, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Warholian.
The evening was a major success, the two groups raised over $10,000 through the auction and cash donations which will go towards KarmaBlast's current project of building a school for nomadic girls in Tibet. This is an impressive feat considering the project started in April 2012.
The show is the first of many more exciting events from TKU and KarmaBlast. The groups plan to visit more cities with their projections and host yet another art show in 2013.

Sharing by: Pam Crawford
As we wrap up 2015 it has certainly been a year of both personal joy and corporate sadness for me. Like no other time in my history on this earth; I am watching my country America, transition from One Nation Under God to One Nation Under Self. The passage of gay marriage, the continued disrespect of human life through abortion and laws in some states that now make it ok for you to take your own life; and the constant assertion of "my rights," is clearly setting the stage for a country and world that is no longer interested in what God instructed through His Holy Word.
"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs,those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood."
- Revelation 22: 14-15
News flash dear friends. No one in this world deserves anything! In our flesh, we are all a sinful group of human beings bent on asserting our free will into the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because there is no one deserving; we have all fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23-24). With that said, it might be high time we reconsider that the gospel of Jesus Christ is much bigger than the world's definition of "love." Love is not a feeling, it's an action, a being. The Bible actually tells us that "God is love" (1 John 4:8) not "Love is God."
The world we live in with its selfish view of love has turned the idea of God and what He has instructed into a contaminated understanding of love. Yes God has called us to love Him and love others, but that doesn't mean we throw away everything else God has instructed to bring about what we want to be ok and acceptable in our life (Leviticus 18). And as far as judgment, let us not forget that there are two kinds of judgment; righteous and foolish. A righteous judgment is in agreement with the Word of God. It agrees that sin is not ok in the eyes of the Creator and we should not be engaging in it. Foolish judgment reflects a free for all.
By claiming solely the "love" gospel and never standing against sin; you join the world's viewpoint that love is whatever makes a person feel good. You join in on the thinking that because people all deserve to be happy and find love however they desire, sin is ok. You agree that it's all right to sacrifice moral principles and the rights of others to obtain such "love."
Real love is like God, who is holy, just and perfect. If we truly know God, we will love as he does (LASB) and we will align our lives accordingly. And, if we love as He does then we will come to the understanding that love also corrected injustice, rebuked the sinner, and taught the way to the Father. Love was a heart response to the greatest gift ever given to mankind - Jesus. If you claim Him, you align your life to His. This will mean living differently than the world (Romans 12).
In 2016, I would encourage every reader to spend some time looking at the story of Jesus's response to the sinful woman at the well. found in the book of John chapter 8 verses 1 through 11. This was another time in history when leaders were disregarding the law to bring about self-will. Don't miss the response of those ready to throw the stones, and the response of the woman being accused. They both contrast an eye-opening event. Now is a perfect time for us to take a honest and fresh look at our own life. It's a good opportunity to recognize our sinful nature as it relates to the acceptance of things that are contrary to what God has instructed through His Word.
Life's Application Commentary - John 8:10-11
"Then Jesus stood up again and said to her, "Where are your accusers? Didn't even one of them condemn you?" "No Lord," she said. And Jesus said, "Neither do I. Go and sin no more."
Jesus didn't condemn the woman accused of adultery, but neither did he ignore or condone her sin. He told her to leave her life of sin. Jesus stands ready to forgive any sin in your life but confession, and repentance, mean a change of heart. With God's help we can accept Christ's forgiveness and stop our wrongdoing." - LASB
So yes, God has called us to love Him and to love others. He wants us to be people of compassion, grace, and love. He desires that our lives reflect love but never at the cost of compromising His Holy instructions. Never at the cost of rebellion against what He has taught. It's time we understand that God gave three types of laws through His Word; ceremonial, civil and moral. The birth and death of Jesus removed the ceremonial. We no longer have to offer atonement for sin as Jesus' death took care of that. Rituals are no longer necessary for salvation. There is only one thing that saves us and that is belief in Jesus Christ (John 3:1-21). Civil laws of old and new testament times are the laws that kept order. If we disregard them completely all hell breaks loose. And the moral laws have not changed either. God still expects us to live as holy people and He gave us standards to follow. Those standards are our plumb line and they remain in effect still today. We cannot pick and choose in order to live our way. One day we will give an account for our decisions (2 Corinthians 5:10, Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:10-11).
The Bible tells us that doing things our way will bring about great consequence. So often we like to jump to the end of a story so that we don't have to bother reading or watching it through. So at the end of 2015 let's jump to the end of the Bible (Revelation 22:12-21). Here we can see the result of disobedience to the moral laws of God's Word. I pray you will heed these words as you move forward in life. HAPPY NEW YEAR and may blessings be a part of your future.
Love the sinner - that is the example of Jesus.
Condone, encourage, support, embrace, or celebrate the act of sin - a very dangerous practice.
Revelation 22:12-21 (NIV) Epilogue: Invitation and Warning
12 "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs,those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let the one who hears say, "Come!" Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon."
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.

|FFS - Gallipoli teddy bears?!!!
From Australia Post catalogue
I'm going to burn in hell for this!
This is a personal post about the 100th anniversary commemorations of the 1915 Gallipoli landings. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I do want to express a little contrariness on this day of secular worship. If I had family directly involved in the campaign I might feel differently, but I don't so only have the perspective of an observer.
The further removed we are from the event, the seemingly more we are turning it into a day of jingoism, especially in this 100th year. While it is important to remember the sacrifice of the soldiers who landed and fought on the Dardenelles as the first blooding of the new nation's army in the War to End All Wars, I believe that too much is invested in this one event. Too many myths have grown up around the event which make investigating the reality all the more difficult as correcting the myths is tantamount to heresy. The fact that the Gallipoli campaign was an unmitigated disaster in an invasion of another sovereign country, and that we were one of several nations involved (and not the biggest player in the event) all seem to be forgotten in the jingoistic remembrance-fest.
I'm not sure how the event is being observed by our NZ cousins, but the way that the event has been commercialised here has also stuck in my throat. The picture above is from a catalogue of tat from the Australia Post catalogue. At least these have the redeeming feature of a certain percentage of the proceedings going to Legacy. Supermarket chain Woolworths got into all sorts of bother with their branded "Fresh in our Memories" campaign , which not only had their logo emblazoned on the images, but riffed on their advertising campaign as the "Fresh Food People". I can't express how strongly I feel that commercialism of this event is plain wrong. I can't understand why you'd want to shell out for this kind of thing in the first place, but obviously there's a market for it. I think it's an extremely cynical cashing in on the emotion that has been manipulated by the whole event.
The remembrance of Gallipoli campaign overshadows the much more significant involvement of the ANZACS on the Western Front, especially in the 1918 counter-attack around Villers-Brettoneux and the Battle of Hamel which followed.
As a catch all day for remembering the fallen, it dwarfs Remembrance Day but seems to me to lessen the importance of all other wars and the sacrifices of those who served in them. I really think that Remembrance Day is a much more appropriate day and certainly does not have the baggage of jingoistic nationalism that ANZAC Day has accumulated.
I think a much more appropriate way of commemorating the sacrifice of those who served in our name would have been to dedicate a lot more spending to helping the veterans of recent wars than blowing $300 million on the centenary, especially when compared to the $95 million spent on veterans' mental health in the four years up to 2014.
Rant over.
Lest we forget the veterans of all wars and their sacrifice.

* - Pacific-10 Conference game
All times are local to site and subject to change.
ARIZONA (31-15, 8-10): ARIZONA took on No. 16 California last weekend and was able to take the final game of the series from the Golden Bears. On Friday, Arizona could not stop the Pac-10's homerun leader as California hit four home runs, including a game-breaking grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning, resulting in a 11-5 loss for the Wildcats. On Saturday, California's Blake Smith snapped a 5-5 tie with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to hand Arizona its fourth straight Pac-10 Conference loss in a 6-5 decision. On Sunday, Arizona collected 18 hits and took advantage of 10 walks issued by the Cal pitching staff to salvage a win in its three-game Conference series against the Golden Bears. The 16-5 victory snapped a four-game league skid for the Wildcats.
ARIZONA STATE (37-8, 12-6): The ARIZONA STATE baseball team took two of three games from UCLA to win the series. Brett Wallace had an impressive performance as he went 7-for-14 (.500) with three homers and five RBI to lead the Sun Devils. Wallace homered twice during the Devils' 11-8 win on Sunday and drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth with a single to right center. He also scored seven times and played flawless defense at third. Teammate Tommy Rafferty improved his record to 10-0 on the season as he came out of the bullpen both Friday and Sunday to help lead the Sun Devils to victories in both games. Rafferty earned the wins both days as he struck out five in 6.2 innings.
CALIFORNIA (29-15-2, 9-9): The CALIFORNIA Golden Bears had a busy schedule as they took on Cal Poly midweek and Arizona for their weekend series. Junior first baseman David Cooper was 6-for-14 (.429) last week along with a double with a team-high five runs scored, two home runs and five RBI. He then finished the Arizona series going 4-for-9 (.444) with five walks, a double, home run and four RBI. On the year, he is now batting .389 with a team-high 51 runs, 70 hits, 12 doubles, a Pac-10 leading 18 home runs and 52 RBI. Cooper also leads Cal with a .756 slugging percentage and has a .482 on-base percentage. He has two game-winning RBI this season and is already tied for seventh on the Cal all-time list with Conor Jackson of the Arizona Diamondbacks with 30 home runs in less than two seasons. Junior right-hander Tyson Ross improved his record to 7-2 on the year by throwing a season-high 8.0 innings and scattering 11 hits with three runs, three walks and five strikeouts in an 11-5 Cal victory over Arizona May 2. He has now improved his career record to 19-12 and has 251 career strikeouts, good for fourth on the Cal all-time strikeout list.
OREGON STATE (20-18, 8-9): Ryan Ortiz was 4-for-6 and every OREGON STATE player had at least one hit and one RBI as the Beavers took the series finale from Washington State, 19-9, on Monday at Bailey-Brayton Field. Joey Wong had three RBI, while Ortiz, Lonnie Lechelt and Jason Ogata all had three. Ortiz also had two doubles to pace the Beavers. Mark Grbavac pitched four scoreless innings of relief to improve to 4-1 this season. Portland and Oregon State resume their suspended game from April 15 at PGE Park. The game will be played on Wednesday at 4 p.m. PT at Goss Stadium, as the Beavers hold a 3-0 lead entering the bottom of the fourth. Ogata has two hits and an RBI and Daniel Robertson also has an RBI. James Nygren is the pitcher of record thus far having thrown three scoreless innings.
STANFORD (27-15-2, 10-5): STANFORD took part in non-conference action this past weekend as the Cardinal took on San Jose State at home on Saturday and away on Sunday. The No. 3 Stanford baseball team emphatically ended its three-game slide Saturday afternoon, bashing out 15 hits in a 9-1 victory over San Jose State. The Cardinal scored nine consecutive runs in the fourth through sixth innings after spotting the Spartans an early 1-0 lead. Stanford hit the road once again and made a spirited comeback to defeat San Jose State 17-6 on Sunday. Stanford was down 6-1 with two outs in the eighth inning, but used a five-run fifth and an 11-run ninth to turn the game into a blowout.
UCLA (24-20, 7-8): UCLA had a stellar performance last week from Alden Carrithers who went 7-for-16 (.438) and posted a .625 on-base percentage in five games. Carrithers, who logged seven hits and seven walks, scored three runs and netted five RBI during the week. Carrithers hit safely in each of UCLA's five games. He currently leads all Bruins with a .391 batting average and .471 on-base percentage this season. In the Bruins' 6-2 win on Wednesday against Loyola Marymount, Carrithers was 1-for-3 with one run and two RBI. Saturday afternoon, Carrithers reached base four times on one single and three walks as UCLA upset No. 4 Arizona State, 8-3, before a national television audience. In the Bruins' 11-8 loss in Sunday's series finale, Carrithers led UCLA with a 3-for-4 effort and one walk, scoring one run and adding one RBI. Junior right-handed pitcher Jason Novak, this week's Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week, also helped the Bruins during his three appearances last week by limiting the opposition to four hits through seven scoreless innings.
USC (21-25, 7-11): USC sophomore shortstop Grant Green is batting .376 (62-for-165) with 14 doubles, four triples, eight home runs, eight stolen bases and 41 RBI this season. He recorded a career-high 19-game hitting streak which was snapped on Saturday. On Sunday against Washington, Green set the USC career record with his 14th triple, passing the previous record of 13 held by Mark Smith (1989-91) and Seth Davidson (1998-2001).
WASHINGTON (28-16, 8-7): The WASHINGTON baseball team earned its first national ranking of the 2008 season as Collegiate Baseball installed the Huskies as its No. 30-ranked team in today's poll. Over the weekend, the Huskies jumped from eighth to sole possession of third place in the league standings thanks to a three-game sweep at USC. This week, the Huskies play a non-conference game Tuesday at Portland before Washington State visits Husky Ballpark for a three-game series this weekend.
WASHINGTON STATE (24-19, 5-9): WASHINGTON STATE's Michael Weber went 5-for-9 (.556) with eight RBI, including a grand slam, in Washington State's two wins over No. 23 Oregon State in Pullman, May 3-4. Weber, starting for the first time since April 11, was 3-for-4 with a career-high four RBI in an 10-3 win over the Beavers on Saturday. Sunday, he added a 2-for-5 effort, including a grand slam as part of a seven-run second inning for the Cougars to help lead Washington State to an 11-4 victory.

In a highly anticipated vote by the House Democratic Caucus yesterday, Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., won the chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce Committee from Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich.
'I am honored by the vote of the Democratic Caucus,' Waxman said in a statement following the House vote. 'We are at a unique moment and have an opportunity that comes only once in a generation. I will work with all parts of our Caucus and across the aisle to deliver the change that the American public expects us to deliver.'
Waxman also commended Dingell's work as chair of the committee.
'I have worked with Chairman John Dingell for 34 years,' he said. 'He has been a true legislative champion. I will always admire and respect him and his many legislative accomplishments.'
Although the House and Senate moved to settle Congressional leadership this week for the 111th Congress, the Senate races in Minnesota and Georgia remain undecided. Should Democratic candidates Al Franken and Jim Martin secure those seats from Republican incumbents Norm Coleman and Saxby Chambliss, Democrats would have a 60-seat majority in the Senate, enabling them to attain cloture in the event of a Republican filibuster.
The Star Tribune reports that a recount in the Minnesota race between Franken and Coleman started Wednesday and remains ongoing, with half the votes counted as of Thursday evening. And in Georgia, the race between Martin and Chambliss will be settled in a runoff election scheduled for Dec. 2.

This recipe comes to us courtesy of the "Spice of Life Cookbook" by Treva Davis (no longer in print).
Makes Ten 3 Ounce Servings
Spray 5 quart Dutch oven with nonstick pan spray. Brown meat on all sides.
In a large bowl combine all other ingredients, except cornstarch and 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat and pour mixture over meat. Simmer on low for 3-4 hours or until meat is tender.
Remove meat and slice diagonally. Place on warm platter and cover to keep warm. Dissolve cornstarch in cold water. Turn up heat on sauce and add cornstarch and water, stirring constantly until thickened.
Pour some sauce over meat to serve. Serve remaining sauce in a bowl or gravy boat.
The rule of thumb in determining the number of servings is that 4 ounces of raw meat yields 3 ounces of cooked meat. However, this rule assumes that the meat is already trimmed of fat. I find that the yield will be about one half the original weight at purchase when the fat is completely trimmed from a pot roast and then cooked.
To make this recipe low-sodium, be sure the stewed tomatoes do not have added salt.
This recipe was provided by Treva D from Dousman

Kuwait Cultural Office in Washington headed by Dr Aseel Al-Awadhi urged all Kuwaiti students seeking scholarship to study in the United States to ensure they comply with the prerequisite of obtaining the minimum average score of 5 in IELTS, which is an equivalent of TOEFL, reports Al-Anba daily.
The office issued some recommendations to the Ministry of Higher Education concerning the IELTS and TOEFL averages, which means that obtaining the required scores in those examinations will be a basic condition for accepting the applications of students for further study in the United States.

Opera for 21st century children? That could be quite a challenge on the face of it: how can an opera get children's attention for an hour, without boring them? We need to give credit to Will Todd, the composer of this Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, part of Opera Holland Park summer season, for confounding any sceptical expectations.
Everybody knows the story of Alice, an 11-year-old innocent, dreamy girl who enters a world of fantasy and odd creatures after following a talking white rabbit into a hole. Lewis Carroll's most famous literary work is brought to life in Holland Park, with live music played by a fully-equipped band.
The story develops in four different settings, representing the colourful Wonderland. During the opera, the audience moves from setting to setting in order to follow the story and the running Alice. The cast of 15 actors embody the characters enthusiastically, their voices intertwine harmonically and give the audience the sensation of living a fairytale. The composer has had to cut some of the scenes to fit things into an hour. This is done economically, with the most popular characters all appearing: the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar, plus Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.
A special plaudit goes to soprano Fflur Wyn, who embodies innocent and playful Alice, and to Robert Burt, who plays both Alice's father and the Red Queen. Both their voices combine perfectly with their facial and bodily expressions, turning them into the most expressive characters. Another bravo goes to the orchestra, who have to run after the actors during scene changes in order to provide a musical background.
The opera is catchy and fun to watch, both for children and adults, and the populist pricing for this opera means the show is already sold out for all the dates. However, you can be added to the waiting list or try to get some return tickets on the day — for both options you need to call the box office on 0300 999 1000 or send them an email. We are quite sure this opera will be back on stage at Holland Park next year as well — seeing how brilliant it is.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is on at Holland Park, close to High Street Kensington tube station, as part of their opera summer season. Performances take place on 25, 26, 29, 30, August 1, 2 at 3pm. Tickets are £8.50 for adults and £3.50 for children. Image courtesy of Opera Holland Park. We saw this play on a complimentary ticket.

outfit of the day: lace tank - kandykayne, varsity jacket - korean spree, jeans - room290, boots - dr martens, rings - thestylemafia, bag - topshop
Went out with Denise yesterday, headed for the 'what the flea' event at scape, it was so mega packed and stuffy i literally was sweating buckets in there, no joke. But i managed to eventually get a couple of things from there which i am quite pleased about. Kinda wish i hadn't spent so much money though. Because we also headed to f21 and i got a top from there..... Sigh, i should be happy but no i ain't because im so broke rn.
On a side note, i am obsessed with my dr martens now i can't stop wearing them, as quoted from my bestfriend 'once leah got her dr martens, they never leave her feet anymore or something along those lines. Its just that i match them with everything thats all.
Oh well, moving right along. I had to go for a dance concert, well it was more like we were watching a competition, with my seniors in the evening. Lixuan came along and thank goodness for that because we ended up being the only juniors, along w one other girl, that actually went with them. Awkward much.
Seniors <3
gross polaroid i took w Lixuan.
The dance competition was actually really good, and we went to eat supper with the seniors after so that was a plus! Bonding + lepak session. Was real happy to get to know the seniors better because i'm always super afraid and awkward around them. Can't help it.
But overall it was tons of fun, totally can't wait for the dance bbq!!!!!!

For some, married sex is a chore, something they schedule between dance classes and daycare pick-ups, something many couples might like to ignore altogether.
But let's not.
Because sex is what separates us from being just best friends or, god forbid, like brother and sister.
There was a time before you saw him change a million poopy diapers and before he saw you dilated to 10 centimeters, where the two of you were exploring and learning about each other's bodies and, the fact is, whatever you think you know about your spouse, there are new things still to find.
I have gathered a few trick ideas both from my arsenal and those of my friends. They include:
1. Talk Fantasy
My husband and I have been married seven years, together 10 and been friends for 20. There is very little that could surprise us. And yet ... I recently learned that my husband had a fantasy he had never shared and that fantasy involved streams of photos taken and shared between us. Two iPhones and separate rooms for a designated period of time? And he was a happy husband. For me, it was an opportunity to fulfill a fantasy I had not even realized he had. I bet everyone could find something similar.
2. Something New Out of Bed
This is not all in bed (wait until # 3 for that), there is also some fun to be had outside the boudoir. When you were younger (more adventurous, shall we say), did you sky dive? Bungee jump? White water raft? Remember how bonded you felt with your companions? Why not try that with your spouse. If you always have Chinese, go for sushi. If you always see a movie, get tickets to the opera. If you both are runners, try a class in rock climbing. Mix it up and bond over something sort of new to you both.
3. Something New in Bed
Have you always wanted to try role play? Has he always wanted to try anal? Now is the time to try those things you have not yet. I am sure there is something. Why not find it together? Maybe some of those "I'll never dos" you had before have become "Okay, maybe I'll tries" now. My husband and I make it a point to try something "out there" every few months whether it is going to an amateur porn festival, visiting an underground sex club or sexting back and forth -- we try to keep it fresh. It does not have to be huge, either. Is he always on top? Why don't you switch? Like masturbation individually? Try it together. Even little changes can help you see your partner with new eyes, which is really the result you want.
4. (Good) Porn
There is porn for women. There is porn for men. There are bondage films and there are fantasy films. There is erotic literature and printed books. There are about as many different kinds of porn as there are people in the United States. In other words, there is something out there you will like. Try to find it. Do a scavenger hunt and each bring back a piece of "porn" that does it for you. Now swap. This is another way to learn what your partner might be too afraid to ask you. So pay attention and also explore what does it for you at the same time.
5. Costume Changes
My husband has two pairs of glasses: one we call the "Clark Kents" and the other we just call "The Hot Ones." I love that he can go back and forth. He is still the same guy but I see him differently each time he changes or takes them off. With me, it's the hair. I am always changing the color, wearing it up or down, letting it be curly or ironing it straight. These are small things, but they add up and for us, it provides an opportunity to almost be with someone else and to be surprised by what a partner we know like the back of our hand has hidden in his.
What do you do to keep it fresh?

Grand Island National Recreation Area For Dirt Biking
The 24th most popular offroad motorcycle trail in Michigan.
Friday 30 March 2018 04:30 GMT
North of Munising on the Upper Peninsula, the Grand Island National Recreation Area has miles of old forest roads and old carriage trails to explore.
The roads are open to off-road motorcycles from October 1 to December 31, permit required. Getting to the island in the fall can be a challenge though since the ferry only runs in the summer.
Grand Island stretches north for 8 miles, from its southpoint at Williams Landing in Munising Bay to the north end at North Point. Only three miles across at its widest point, Grand lsland offers 35 miles of shoreline, encompassing over 13,500 acres of dense woodland, including several lakes. Rapid-flowing streams cut through the rugged hills, and massive 300 foot wave-cut sandstone cliffs. Beaches of fine sand, winter ice caves and historic buildings and artifacts dating back as far as 2,000 BC are just a few of its highlights.
Camping opportunities range from random camping at undeveloped sites to primitive camping at designated sites along Murray Bay and Trout Bay. There are six designated camping sites on Grand Island; two at Murray Bay, and four at Trout Bay. At each site your tent must be within 15 feet of the camp site marker post.
FYI - there is no potable water on the island, but there are plenty of black bear.
Overall, Grand Island National Recreation Area is the 24th most popular dirt bike trail of all 63 dirt biking rides in Michigan. Several of the better dirt bike trails are nearby Grand Island National Recreation Area including Coal Wood Riding Trail and Bay City Lake Riding Trail.

Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. Only 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease.
In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. With the help of insulin therapy and other treatments, even young children can learn to manage their condition and live long, healthy lives.
Amaya Garza feels lucky to have been diagnosed with T1 juvenile diabetes when she was 15 months old!
In this short video she tells her story, and also discusses the positive sides of living with type 1 diabetes: finding strength, making connections, and sometimes even forming priceless friendships with others.
