It's Friday, and I am stuck.
I was sitting here this morning writing my sermon for Sunday, and I'm not kidding, I sat at my desk after the last line I typed and said "I'm boring myself to death." And so I sat and sat and sat. I've done my morning devotions. (Side note, if you're not reading my Professor and friend Dr. Tuell's Lenten Devotional, you're missing out) I've consumed copious amounts of coffee. I've bounced the thinking ball. I'm stuck.
Getting stuck happens. Every writer worth a lick will tell you this. Rare is the sermon that I sit down and just start typing and minutes later have a masterpiece I'm proud of. Writing is a labor of blood sweat and tears, and today it seems really heavy on the tears. My computer took forever to boot up today, stuck in a vicious cycle of updates and memory sucking downloads, and as I watched that super colorful pinwheel spin I realized I was witnessing a real life example of my own situation.
There are of course tricks to the trade, to loosen what's stuck in the ketchup bottle. You're reading one right now. Sometimes I need to just exercise the muscles of writing, but in a different scene. Blog posts are awesome for this. It doesn't at all matter what I write about, I just need to write something (Did you hear about the time I wrote an entire blog post about pens?) Just get things going is all, keep my fingers used to the feeling of clicking on the keyboard. I will probably when this post is done go back to the books I've read in research for this sermon, and look over my highlights again to see if anything sparks. I'm getting pretty close to the nuclear option, to head out and get some breakfast and try to write outside the office. This is a double edged sword, because more often than not a quick meal at the mall food court turns in to test driving MacBooks I have no intention of buying, which quickly turns into "Oh Lord it's 2:00 and the kids are coming for Chick-Fil-A and I still have nothing written!" So you have to be careful there.
I'm sure it will come. Eventually. The inspiration of the Holy Spirit, I have come to discover, rarely gives a rip about my calendar or schedule. This too can be a dangerous area. You can convince yourself to just sit back and wait for inspiration, and put the work off till later. My experience has been that while the Spirit's inspiration comes when it wants, I had better be sitting at a keyboard ready to jot it down when it does.
Why is there so much pressure? It's back to what we've been talking about the last few weeks, there is good news to be proclaimed, and I've been asked to proclaim it. I live with the iron clad conviction that the passages that have been set before me by the Lectionary are exactly what someone in our congregation needs to hear this week. Someone in our midst needs to hear a fresh word, a conviction, a comfort, a reassurance. And I've been asked to serve as delivery man.
But the pressure is also the release valve. I'm certain that if I show up and do the work, if I'm open to what God has for me, for us as a congregation, that the same Spirit that breathed the words of Scripture to it's writers will breath some words of clarity in me. But, just to prime the pump, maybe it's time for a donut...

Chris Moyles is to beat the air chaos and return to the airwaves on Tuesday by hosting his show from New York.
The motormouth presenter, who has been unable to return to the UK following a US holiday, will host the show live from a studio in the Big Apple while his team are in London.
Moyles missed his show on Monday because he was stranded in New York, and colleague Scott Mills had to sit in for him.
The breakfast show host is among the many thousands of people hit by the air travel crisis caused by the airborne ash from Iceland.
He alerted fans to his absence by heading to his Twitter feed and simply posting the word "stuck!".
He will now present his show from the Sirius studio in the city, where he had spent the second half of a two-week break before becoming stranded.
Moyles said: "It's brilliant. I'm so pleased I can get on the air. I'll have to sleep in the evening, then get up at midnight and be on air 1.30am New York time – but it'll be worth it and very exciting."
Other BBC radio hosts who have been hit by the travel problems include Radio 2's Steve Wright, who is also in New York. His show is being hosted by Richard Allinson this week.
Mark Radcliffe will be hosting his show without co-presenter Stuart Maconie who is still making his way back from a trip to Venice.
And another Radio 2 star – Paul O'Grady – is also stuck in New York, so I'd Do Anything winner Jodie Prenger is pencilled in to host his show on Sunday.

I requested a love reading from Kait and it resonated so much it brought me to tears! I appreciated the message and the advice the cards spoke through her. I can feel her good energy, I highly recommend her!!
My card reading from Kait was so powerful, it made me cry. I am on the verge of a major life transition and I asked her for some insight. Even across the internet, she was able to give me a reading that felt so true and insightful, and really personal. I knew the message she was delivering came directly from the Universe, that it was clearly meant for me, and it was everything I needed to hear. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Kait!! Your reading spoke directly to my Soul, and has me feeling so positive, and totally empowered as I walk toward this big change in my life.
Kait is a wise and loving reader. She not only understands tarot (it's ancient symbology and deep meanings) but is able to put it in context for the reader in an easy and down to earth way. She is a wonderful combination of wise ancient wisdom and modern intuition. She is a truly progressive reader who can reach anyone and who shares her heart wisdom in every reading. I recommend Kait for her kindness, respect, and commitment to her craft.
Baring witness to Kait's energy work is baring witness to true magic. She is incredibly in tune with the vibrations around her, harnessing them for the highest good and deepest healing. She brings a sense of groundedness through tradition and ritual in each session and shows up fully for each client she works with. Working with Kait is an honest pleasure and I reccommend her services to anyone seeking connection to their highest self.
"Kait was so personable and you can tell how passionate she is about tarot. During the time of my reading I had just made a lot of changes in my life; from my career to relationships. Following my reading I was motivated and energized for what is to come next, and that taking the leap of faith was OK."
"Kait was so patient and thorough with her reading! She took time to really explain what each card meant for me. It really opened my eyes to some details in my life I was overlooking."

Sole Fida
This past Sunday while other churches celebrated the 500th Anniversary of Protestant Reformation, we at Amberlea celebrated something equally significant, the sacrament of baptism for two extraordinary young people.
Did you know?
- Martin Luther (1483-1546) is recognized as being the most influential figure of the Reformation.
- Luther strongly disputed the claim of the Roman Catholic church of the time, that forgiveness of sins could be purchased with money.
- In 1517 Luther is believed to have nailed his ninety five theses on a church in Wittenburg, which is accredited as representing the symbolic beginnings of the Protestant Reformation.
- 'Justification by faith alone' or Sola Fide in Latin is at the core of the Protestant Reformation — that we are saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ because of God's grace and by what Jesus did for us.
On Sunday we celebrated Reformation Sunday in its purest form as two young people stood before the congregation and shared how their love for Jesus, their hope in Jesus, and their faith in Jesus has brought each of them to this time in their faith journey. They expressed that because Jesus died for them their sins were forgiven (Sola Fida).
It was a powerful service! We borrowed a baptismal tank from a neighbouring church and two were baptized by full immersion. If you were there, I am sure you would agree that we were witnesses to the presence of God. It was incredibly moving and as I looked on to the crowd gathered, there wasn't a dry eye in the house!
I was baptized as an adult, and I remember the pastor saying "You know Mona, there is nothing magical about this water," and he was right. The water itself isn't what changes you, but rather the extraordinary power and hope in the One who makes baptism possible, the One who baptizes in the Spirit and transforms the heart.
Whether you were baptized as an infant, a teen or an adult, baptism is a reminder that the Lord called you to Himself, and He chose you by name, not by any merit of your own but by His free gift of grace.
Throughout scripture we can see that God choses people who were ordinary, many we might even consider unworthy. None of us are worthy. We all fall short of the Glory of God and no one can be made new (justified and sanctified) apart from Jesus.
Join us this week as we continue to study the life of an ordinary man, Nehemiah, in our series entitled Change your World. We will look at all that he was able to do through his faith in God. It is my prayer that we will be challenged to ask and dream what God will do in and through us!
Sola fida.

Final Cut Pro X Workshop with Mark Griffin
Millennium Theatre
Saturday 28th April Awards Day 2pm – 3pm
On April 28th 2012, LIT lecturer and prominent Limerick media producer Mark Griffin held a brief masterclass on the new Final Cut Pro X non-linear video editing package. There has been a lot of discussion about FCPX, some of which has been negative, Griffin himself stated that when it was initially launched he was apprehensive to make the jump from FCP7, hearing rumours that FCPX was essentially 'iMovie on steroids'. However, upon taking the time to sit down with the programme he felt that for small quick turnover projects, such as most online projects, FCPX is perfect.
The next hour was spent taking the audience on a short tour of the package which included launching project files, how and why the interface has changed, and the essential differences from FCP7, while also inviting audience interaction by inviting them to pose problems they may have encountered on rival editing packages.
While Griffin is clearly well versed in FCPX, traversing the various menus and set ups, I thought the packages looked overly complicated. I have found with FCP7, and earlier FCP packages, that basic troubleshooting can be accomplished with a little bit of common sense and patience. FCPX however has a much more complicated look and feel, the initial interface looks clunky and confusing and the more he went into the programme the more difficult it all seemed. Griffin felt that FCPX was very straightforward and if anything troubleshooting on the programme was more clear-cut. It is possible that from my prospective having taken a few years to get used to the original FCP interface, change has made me apprehensive.
FCPX is still in its formative years, there are many issues that may put off the potential buyer, particularly its penchant for crashing. FCPX is only on 10.0.4 upgrade release and Griffin recommended possibly holding off until the 10.1.0 version is available, thereby giving Apple time to work out some of the major kinks with the system. He did, nevertheless, state that in terms of affordability and turning over quick productions for consumption FCPX is a fantastic package and that in years to come this will be the way forward for non-linear editing software. He also advised that if editors were eager to purchase the programme then they should not abandon their earlier FCP versions instead using them to compliment one another.
This master-class was quite fascinating and I would recommend anyone interested in the package to check out mark-griffin.net and view his online media tutorials and helpful guides. Griffin's succinct and rhythmic teaching pattern made this class a joy to attend, his Q&A session was quiet candid and in no way swayed towards Apple as the future of non-linear editing packages, thereby leading to a open and honest discussion on various topics. The LIT film festival will surely invite him back in years to come to educate and promote the production industry of the mid-west.

LIT Film Festival meets Behind the Scenes Network
LIT Millennium Theatre Foyer
Saturday 28th of April 6pm – 7pm
The 'LIT Film Festival meets Behind the Scenes Network' was a networking event that offered a perfect opportunity for editors, creative people and filmmakers who work in the local film industry to meet up. Behind the Scenes is a network of people from the midwest who are working or studying video and film production. The group was created with the intention of bringing together like minded individuals to study and promote Film and Video Production in the Munster Area.
I have been reporting on its events now for over a year and it has grown in numbers since the first night in the Absolute Hotel over a year ago. The session began with Mark Griffin, network founder, introducing himself and explaining what the network is. Then everyone introduced themselves, explained their film' experience, spoke about their projects old and new, and aspirations for the future. There was also a discussion about the up and coming events for the network for the summer and beyond, which are exciting to say the least.
Behind the Scenes Network offers a way of getting crew for a film, discussing your latest project, if you are looking for work in film, learning new skills and it's also a good way of meeting like minded people.

As you can tell by now, I can't deny my love for ruffles. You have seen them on my blog actively and passively. We have knitted them on a ruffled jersey, in a knitted dress combined with fabric, in a knitted vest. We have made shirts with ruffles on the sleeves, muslin dresses with ruffles and diaper covers of various shapes… The only garment left to make is a Summer Knitted Top with a grand ruffle that gives it that romantic touch that I love!
The size shown on this tutorial is 12-24 months, but if you need another size Don't worry! The Alba Knitted Top is also available, along with matching diaper cover, in the sizes 1-3 months, 3-6 months and 6-12 months. To get the complete pattern that gives you row by row instructions along with the chart, click on the image below or on the following links:
You also have the option to buy all sizes together with a good discount on this other link.

Materials to make the Alba Knitted Top
On this occasion, the materials we will need to make a 12-24 months size are:
- 3 balls of 50 grams of cotton yarn for 3 mm needles. The yarn that you see on this tutorial is Katia Concept Cotton-Cashmere color 66- Salmon Range.
- 3 mm needles
- A tapestry needle
Stitches & Techniques:
- Cast on
- Stockinnete stitch
- Seed Stitch
- Make increases: lift bar between stitches from front to back and knit.
- Knit Front & Back: Knit in the Front and Back of a Stitch
- Pick up stitches
- Bind off
How to make the Alba Knitted Top
1. Knit the bib area of the Alba Summer Top
We will start the knitted baby top by casting on 34 stitches and knitting in seed stitch the first 10 rows.
Then we will start to work the increases to give shape to the bib area of the knitted cotton top.
We will knit one increase on each side (lift bar between stitches from front to back and knit) to 4 stitches of the edge of the work on the right side (when you have a knit stitch facing you). That is, knit 4 stitches using the seed stitch, make an increase, knit in stockinette stitch until there are 4 stitches, make an increase and knit the remaining 4 stitches in seed stitch.
Continue in this manner until you have 46 stitches on your needle.
Once you have 46 stitches, we will continue to increase in the same way as before but this time on both sides of the work to get 74 stitches.
Knit these 74 stitches for 6 more rows by knitting the first 4 and last 4 stitches in seed stitch.
2. Knit the front of the knitted Alba Summer Top
We continue knitting our Alba Summer Top by making an increase (knitting the front and back of a stitch) every 11 rows. Since we knitted 6 rows after getting the 74 stitches, we will only knit 4 more rows in stockinette stitch and on the 5throw make the increase, knit the entire row until there is a stitch left, then make another increase. This will leave 76 stitches on your needle.
Continue making an increase on each side every 11 rows until you knit 60 rows or have 84 stitches.
To finish the front of our Alba knitted Top, knit the last 10 rows in seed stitch.
3. Knit the back of the knitted Alba Summer Top.
Knit the back piece following the same instructions of the front and seam the pieces together on one side.
4. Knit the ruffle
It is time to make the ruffle of our Alba knitted Top. To do this, pick up the stitches that are just below the seed stitch. Pick up as many stitches as the fabric will allow you to do.
When you have all the picked-up stitches on your working needle, knit the first row by knitting the front and back of every stitch, in this way, you have managed to double the number of stitches to give the ruffle its curl.
Knit 12 rows in stockinette stitch and 5 rows in seed stitch.
5. Knit the straps of the Alba Knitted Top
To make the ruffles of the Alba Summer Top, you must pick up 8 stitches of each of the corners of the bib area and knit them until they have reached the desired length to tie them to the shoulder.
If you want to tie them with a bow, you should make them a little longer. In my case as I decided that they will be knotted with a simple knot, I have decided on the length of 18 cm.
As I said earlier, if you need a downloadable and printable PDF to not rely on your cell phone or the computer to knit the Alba Summer Top (of course easier) tat includes row by row instructions and diagrams of the pattern, you can get it by following this link:
Alba Summer Set- Size 12-24 months
If you what you need, is to knit this beautiful romper in another size and you want to get started right away without having to calculate the number of stitches for your measurements, this time I've also made it very easy for you!
Alba Summer Set- Size 1-3 months
Alba Summer Set- Size 3-6 months
Alba Summer Set- Size 6-12 months
Alba Summer Set- All the 4 sizes
As you can see, it is very simple to make, although the results seem more elaborate. Using some basic stitches, you will be able to make your own knitted ruffled Alba Summer Top in a very short time and that will turn heads!
And remember, if you like this tutorial and it has been useful to you, comment below and share it, it is a free! And of course, once you have your finished Alba Summer Top, don't forget to showcase your work on social media using the hashtag #topalba #creativaatelier

For people suffering from chronic pain, opioids like OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, and Demerol have often been the only way to get relief. But that relief comes at a high price, as these drugs have a high risk for [button class="button" cct="f" target="_self" cc="custom4″ ccv="5″ cch="custom6″ cchv="5″ cco="custom6″ ccov="5″ ltp="384″ ]addiction[/button] and accidental overdose. Today there are more than 64,000 deaths a year in the U.S. from opioid overdose, more than either car accidents or guns.
Another problem with opioids is that users build tolerance to the drugs. Says Dr. Erin Krebs of the University of Minnesota, "Within a few weeks or months of taking an opioid on a daily basis, your body gets used to that level of opioid, and you need more and more to get the same level of effect."
Opioid tolerance lessens pain relief over time
Dr. Krebs is the author of a new study published March 2018 in the Journal of the American Medical Association that looks at the effectiveness of opioids and non-opioids for the long-term treatment of pain. That study found that at 12 months there was no difference between opioids and drugs like acetaminophen or naproxen, most likely because of opioid tolerance.1
Because of the dangers of opioids and the buildup of tolerance to the drugs, medical science is intensifying the search for pain relief alternatives. One of those alternatives may be cannabis or CBD.
Science increasingly backs cannabis
One scientific study conducted jointly by researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and Kent State University finds that
Cannabis can be an effective treatment for pain, greatly reduces the chance of dependence, and eliminates the risk of fatal overdose compared to opioid-based medications. Medical cannabis patients report that cannabis is just as effective, if not more, than opioid-based medications for pain.
The study looked at survey data from 2,897 medical cannabis patients, finding that 34% of the sample reported also using opioid pain medications in the past six months. "Respondents overwhelmingly reported that cannabis provided relief on par with their other medications, but without the unwanted side effects," said the study. What's more, "97% of the sample 'strongly agreed/agreed' that they are able to decrease the amount of opiates they consume when they also use cannabis," and "81% 'strongly agreed/agreed' that taking cannabis by itself was more effective at treating their condition than taking cannabis with opioids."2
This study relied on self-reported results, which are often not the most accurate way to test a hypothesis. Still, the results are robust enough to encourage further, more clinical research into cannabis as an alternative to opioids.
A separate study published in the Journal of Pain in 2016 found that in a survey of 244 patients with chronic pain, 64% decreased opioid use after starting medical cannabis treatment.3
There is no shortage of evidence that cannabis and CBD are effective in relieving pain. Now there is a growing amount of research indicating that cannabis and CBD could potentially offer an alternative to opioid drugs for pain relief. If so, cannabis could go a long way in helping to end the opioid crisis.

Last month we held our 2nd Golden Getaway, a photography retreat, in a real life log cabin in Running Springs, Ca. This 2 day retreat was jam packed with so much good stuff! We chatted about photographer life, our struggles, our successes and bonded over snacks and oh the rain! The weather has not been our friend at our retreats thus far but somehow that makes them more special. We shot in the rain, we used prisms, and used our creative juices putting together our dessert table. Our stylized bride and groom shoot was in the woods, and the sun peeked out and gave us just enough time to shoot these gorgeous models. We all went to dinner at a local spot "Blondies" and it was a great night. The next morning after a yummy breakfast we dived right into culling and editing techniques and spent the rest of the morning doing one on one portfolio and website reviews. We hope that you ladies all had a great time and honestly we can't wait to do it all over again! Please enjoy all these amazing photos these talented ladies shared with us. <3 <3 <3

Through the discovery process we found that asking visitors to enquire initially may be too much of a commitment, knowingly, we then developed a 'book a look' section allowing visitors to arrange a time to see the venue.

The obscurity of this war, however, should not blind us to its significance, for it was an important turning point, a great watershed, in the history of the young republic. It concluded almost a quarter of a century of troubled diplomacy and partisan politics and ushered in the Era of Good Feelings. It marked the end of the Federalist party but the vindication of Federalist policies, many of which were adopted by Republicans during or after the war. The war also broke the power of American Indians and reinforced the powerful undercurrent of Anglophobia that had been spawned by the Revolution a generation before. In addition, it promoted national self-confidence and encouraged the heady expansionism that lay at the heart of American foreign policy for the rest of the century. Finally, the war gave the fledgling republic a host of sayings, symbols, and songs that helped Americans define who they were and where their young republic was headed. Although looking to the past, the war was fraught with consequences for the future, and for this reason it is worth studying today.
The war also produced its share of heroes–people whose reputations were enhanced by military or government service. The war helped catapult four men into the presidency – Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, James Monroe, and William Henry Harrison – and three men into the vice-presidency – Daniel D. Tompkins, John C. Calhoun, and Richard M. Johnson. The war also gave a significant boost to the political or military careers of other men. Indeed, for many young men on the make, the war offered an excellent launching pad for a career.
An American Perspective on the War of 1812 by Donald Hickey – http://www.pbs.org/wned/war-of-1812/essays/american-perspective/
Though the War of 1812 is remembered as a relatively minor conflict in the United States and Britain, it looms large for Canadians and for Native Americans, who see it as a decisive turning point in their losing struggle to govern themselves. In fact, the war had a far-reaching impact in the United States, as the Treaty of Ghent ended decades of bitter partisan infighting in government and ushered in the so-called "Era of Good Feelings." The war also marked the demise of the Federalist Party, which had been accused of being unpatriotic for its antiwar stance, and reinforced a tradition of Anglophobia that had begun during the Revolutionary War. Perhaps most importantly, the war's outcome boosted national self-confidence and encouraged the growing spirit of American expansionism that would shape the better part of the 19th century.
Taft's note – notice any interesting connections between the first two pieces? hmmm….. same author, or maybe some un-cited sources …
The History Channel – http://www.history.com/topics/war-of-1812
The War of 1812 was important to the U.S. Navy for several reasons. The war demonstrated to the American public the vital importance of an effective naval force for national defense. It validated early policy decisions to implement cutting-edge technology for our warships. And it established a heritage of competence, heroism, and victory.
Dr. Michael Crawford, Naval History and Heritage Command, United States Navy – http://www.ourflagwasstillthere.org/why-commemorate/the-navy-and-war-of-1812.html
As I said, first of all, it assures people that the Republic can stand the stress, and the Constitution will not be suborned. And the other thing is that, prior to that, we were still emotionally a little branch of Europe – insignificant edge of the European world. We seem to have broken the knot with that survival. In other words, what was in essence a no-win, no-lose agreement [the treaty of Ghent] for us meant that we had stayed in the ring with the greatest power in the world and we'd at least survived. And so the Republic is vindicated, that's one. And almost as a man, Americans put their backs to the Atlantic, focused on the Rocky Mountains, and for a century devoted themselves to the exploitation, good or bad, of the continent. We didn't really kind of go back into being an international player until the war with Spain at the end of the century. That I think is the most direct result on the American side. It was part of that shakedown I mentioned of the Constitution, and most Americans would say we passed the test, now let's get on with it.

Uh, yea, I think it will be "OK".:)ReplyDelete
I'm several days behind in my blog readings, so here goes :-)ReplyDelete
I love what you are doing on this white quilt! It's gonna be gorgeous. Fiona is a doll! Glad Harry is better.
It looks really good Deb, I can't wait to see the whole thing.ReplyDelete
It looks awesome!! I'm curious, Deb, where did you learn how to do this? (in other words I want to learn how to do this!!)ReplyDelete
Thanks. Deb to answer your question...I buy every book that comes out and I doodle constantly. Then I stitch out designs on charity quilts. After that, I can pretty much do it.ReplyDelete
It's going to be wonderfulReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 22, 2008 at 3:07 PM
deb that looks wonderful! i'm anxious to see the rest of it.ReplyDelete
It's going to be beautiful!!ReplyDelete
I'm with the others, can't wait to see the finished result!! Beautiful!ReplyDelete
I also worry about using the blue marker, too. I've seen too many quilts where the marker was not washed out properly and then turn brown in the heat.
This quilting looks so lush, something like hawaii quilt without the appliqué. It is gorgeous. Hope to see more soon. Take care.ReplyDelete
You 'think' it will be O.K.? It's already way more than O.K. - it's gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I needed Harry with me in that hotel room in Antigua :-)
It's already beautiful Deb and I bet will be a show stopper when finished.ReplyDelete
Love the cat tales and am glad Harry is better!
Judy in MO
Uh Beautiful!!! Love love love the feathers!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting! I always enjoy your comments.

Confession time! Despite all my best intentions to freshen and lighten things up in the New Year now that the holidays are passed, I've got hot chocolate on the brain in a major way this week. I'm blaming it on the blizzard. We've been getting positively hammered with snow since Monday night and it's supposed to continue all the way through today. (They're saying as much as six feet before it's all done!) Following the icestorm that had us out of power for a few days right before Christmas, it's safe to say that winter is definitely testing us here in our neck of the woods this year. Never fear. We Upstate New Yorkers know how to handle winter. Part of the strategy? Hot chocolate to warm the bones after marathon shoveling sessions.
Today I've rounded up 10 of the best hot chocolate recipes to keep you feeling warm and cozy all winter long. Some are entirely decadent. Some are a little boozy. Some are healthier than you might think. (I swear.) So click through for all the yumminess!

Road haulage specialists Aspray Transport have taken three adjoining sheds at the International Trading Estate in Third Way, Avonmouth in a deal brokered by Colliers International and Knight Frank.
Tim Davies from Colliers International who negotiated the deal said: "Aspray Transport were operating from a nearby park and were on the lookout for a unit in the region of 20,000 sq ft in the same area, but weren't having much luck."
The answer was to combine three adjoining units at the International Trading Estate which the landlord gave consent to.
Tim Davies said: "This kind of flexibility on the part of the landlord is the reason why the estate is now fully let. He said: "Simple economies of scale and the first rate transport network north-west of Bristol are bringing more and more business to Avonmouth and putting the area at the centre of the UK's industrial and logistics map.
"With the M4 and M5 motorway junctions close by Avonmouth is delivering the most efficient transport solutions not just for the whole of the South West but South Wales as well.
Colliers International's specialist Automotive & Roadside team in Bristol are part of a leading UK property team providing advice to the automotive and roadside sector.

Rituals for more Travel
Before the launch on my new biz Topanga Moon I have been diving into topics of rituals and how they add so much to our life. Since the biz is about moon rituals I have been talking about all the other rituals I do on my new YouTube channel and its been so fun to create. It also has made me realize how many incredible adventures I have gone on and has made me pretty grateful. Here are my three rituals that I do to create more travel in my life.
1 // Lists: I create lists for things I want to create in my life all the time. I make a specific list for travel and usually create them on the new moon, full moon or the start of a new season. Once I create the list I put it away and continue to bring joy into my life.
2 // Create the mood: Do things to make you feel like you are experiencing the travel before the travel. For me that is creating travel playlists so I can listen to music that makes me feel like I am in the place. Also creating folders on my airbnb account of dream places I want to stay in. I have stayed in so many of my saved airbnb places and most times I don't realize that I saved them until I am on the trip!
3 // Journaling and scripting: I discovered this technique by accident. I wrote a travel destination in one of my scripts and a couple years later I was there! I didn't even realize I went to this specific location until I came home and was reviewing my script. This works for journaling as well.
I hope you enjoy these fun tips! You can watch the YouTube video here and watch me chat up a storm.
xoxo, Ana

DREAM Act 2017 and RAC Act Introduced to Save Dreamers from Deportation/
1.8 million Dreamers (those brought here or who came here as immigrant children illegally) are facing potential future deportation now that a program that has protected them is under fire from 10 state Attorneys General who are threatening a lawsuit against the Obama era program. Currently, around 800,000 young people have taken advantage of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, also known as DACA. President Trump promised to abolish DACA when he was running for president, but since he took office, he has investigated further, learned more about the situation, and had decided to let the program stand for now. These state AGs are threatening to sue the government if DACA is not overturned by September 5, 2017. The Trump Administration, while speaking favorably of Dreamers, has indicated that it will not defend DACA in the courts. So, we now face an urgent crisis regarding the future of over one million young people.
If DACA goes away, all of these young people who have previously been protected from deportation, will be thrown back into full undocumented status. This means that they will no longer be afforded the protections they had under DACA and will not be able to work legally or go to school legally, in many cases. It also means that they will now be subject to deportation. The Trump Administration has directed the Department of Homeland Security to identify and deport all undocumented immigrants, not just those who have criminal records. That would mean that these young people who have grown up in America and call our country home would now be priorities for deportation along with the rest of the 11 million undocumented immigrants. We would essentially have a modern day trail of tears as well over 1 million people who have grown up here and call America home are sent away, unless we can develop some kind of legislative solution in Congress.
Protecting Dreamers is something that Americans want. The numbers shown in multiple polls, including this Morning Consult poll are astounding:
- 78% of registered votes say Dreamers should be allowed to stay in some form of legalized status with only 14% say they should be deported.
- Evangelicals 78% in favor of legalized status with only 16% in favor of deportation
- From the South 75% - 15%
- Trump voters - 73% - 23%
To protect Dreamers from deportation, Sens. Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin introduced the Dream Act 2017 last week. The purpose of the Dream Act is to help those brought here at a young age develop their lives here in America and contribute to American society legally.
According to the National Immigration Forum, a summary of the Dream Act involves:
- The Dream Act would create a conditional permanent resident status valid for up to eight years for young undocumented immigrants that would protect them from deportation, allow them to work legally in the U.S. and permit them to travel outside the country.
- To qualify for conditional permanent resident status, young undocumented immigrants would need to meet the following requirements:
- Through documentation described in the bill, establish that they were brought to the U.S. at age 17 or younger and have lived continuously in the U.S. for at least four years prior to the bill's enactment;
- Pass a government background check, demonstrate "good moral character" with no felony or multiple misdemeanor convictions, submit biometric and biographic data and undergo a biometric and medical exam;
- Demonstrate they have been admitted to a college or university, have earned a high school diploma, or are in the process of earning a high school diploma or an equivalent; and
- Pay a fee.
- The bill would automatically grant conditional permanent resident status to DACA recipients who still meet the requirements needed to obtain DACA.
- Conditional permanent resident status can be changed to lawful permanent resident status — green card holder — by:
- Maintaining continuous residence in the U.S.;
- Meeting one of the following three requirements:
1) Completion of at least two years of military service,
2) Graduation from a college or university or completion of at least two years of a bachelor's or higher degree program in the U.S., or
3) Employment for a period totaling at least three years;
- Demonstrating an ability to read, write and speak English and a;n understanding of American history, principles and form of government;
- Passing a government background check, continuing to demonstrate "good moral character" without felony or multiple misdemeanor convictions, submitting biometric and biographic data and undergoing a biometric and medical exam; and
- Paying a fee.
- Recipients can lose conditional permanent resident status if they commit a serious crime or fail to meet the other requirements set in the bill.
The Dream Act 2017 has been introduced in the U.S. Senate and is the best chance for Dreamers to be protected from impending deportation. You can contact your Senators to encourage to support the Dream Act 2017 here.
The Recognizing America's Children Act has been introduced in the House by Rep. Carlos Curbello - FL-26. This bill is similar to the Dream Act in many ways. It also exists as an attempt to protect Dreamers from being deported. A summary of this bill involves (from the National Immigration Forum):
- The bill would create a five-year "conditional permanent resident" status for young undocumented immigrants that would protect them from deportation, allow them to work legally in the United States and permit them to travel outside the country.
- To qualify for "conditional permanent resident" status, young undocumented immigrants would need to meet the following requirements:
- Establish that they came to the U.S. before the age of 16 and have continuously lived in the U.S. since at least January 1, 2012;
- Pass a government background check and demonstrate "good moral character" with no felony or multiple misdemeanor convictions;
- Earn a high school diploma or an equivalent (if they are 18 years or older); and
- Meet one of the following requirements (if they are 18 years or older):
- Demonstrate an intent to join the U.S. military (military path);
- Be admitted to an institution of higher education (higher education path);
- Have a valid work authorization document (worker path).
- "Conditional permanent resident" status can be extended once for a second period of five years by meeting one of the following requirements:
- Have been enlisted in the military or an active-duty reserve component of the military for at least three years during the preceding five-year period (military path);
- Have graduated from an institution of higher education (higher education path); or
- Have been employed for a total period of at least 48 months during the preceding five-year period (worker path).
- As soon as the "conditional permanent resident" status is extended, recipients could apply to become a lawful permanent resident (green-card holder) if they continue to meet the requirements set in the bill. Recipients enlisted in the military could apply for naturalization immediately after obtaining lawful permanent resident status.
- Under the bill, a recipient's "conditional permanent resident status" would be revoked if he or she failed to continue to meet all of the bill's requirements.
Both the bipartisan Dream Act 2017 in the Senate and the Republican-sponsored Recognizing America's Children Act (RAC Act) in the House are bills that would help us protect vulnerable young people who were brought to the United States illegally so they can contribute and flourish in, what is for many of them, the only country they have ever known. Many of them have families and children of their own now. Our immigration situation is a 30 year old problem. We need to solve it. But, we don't need to solve it at the expense of vulnerable people. Will we speak on their behalf?
Evangelicals in America could protect these children. We could change this legislatively. What kind of witness would it be for Christians to speak on behalf of the vulnerable and ask for mercy for them? Could we do that? They are in every community, go to school with our children, and are a part of our churches. When it comes to these immigrant young people and their families, Proverbs 31:8-9 comes to mind: "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly, defend the rights of the poor and needy."
Also, Exodus 22:21-24 - "You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child. If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry, and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless."
Exodus 23:9 "You shall not oppress a sojourner. You know the heart of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt."

Spotlight on a track that appears in Season Three, Episode Three of the web series Theater People...
I assumed the music would be mixed low under dialog much of the time, so I listened at a very low volume when completing my own music mix-- thus, many elements wound up sounding different than they would have had I been mixing for up-front placement. Given the comedic nature of the sequence, I also wanted to preserve the sense of naivete I was going for. So I resisted the urge to "correct" some of the rhythmic imperfections I might have otherwise addressed.
Here's a clip of how the piece played out in the episode...
Three separate stories play out here: an actor (Clarence Wethern) confronts his fear of not being recognized/ acknowledged as he attempts to gain access to a theater for a rehearsal process; an assistant stage manager (Katie Willer) fights for admittance to the same rehearsal, saved only by the whim of her boss, the actual stage manager (Mo "MoCap" Perry); and the production's director (Stacia Rice) schemes to divert what may already be inevitable: that the titular male star of the TV sitcom "Fat Guy With A Hot Wife" has been cast as the lead in her theater production "The Shade Beneath The Awning" (imagine said casting in a play by Tennessee Williams or Eugene O'Neill) without her approval.

You guys all know my love for the "magic" water, AKA the Bioderma sensibio H2O makeup remover.
It is my holy grail eye make up remover. Yes I know that you can use it as a makeup remover for your whole face, but its price tag makes me save it only for my eyes.
I was dead set that I would not be able to find anything that would top this, but...
At a Marcelle warehouse sale, I picked this little baby up for $5.
The Marcelle Essential smoothing cleansing water and I must admit I am quite impressed by it. At first swipe I thought, could this be better than my holy grail magic water? After a couple of weeks of using it, I even tested them side by side, and I must admit that this runs neck and neck with the Bioderma Sensibio H2O.
I purchase this bottle at the biannual Marcelle warehouse sale for $5, but it retails for about $17, which is slightly cheaper than the Bioderma one, which retails for $22.
The only downside to the Marcelle Essential smoothing cleansing water is it's bottle, you kinda of waste a lot of product, since it just pours out of the top, whereas the Bioderma has a bit more flow control.
So what is my verdict?
I can't decide, currently they are neck and neck. If it was down to price point itself and I can score the Marcelle Essential smoothing cleansing water at $5, no doubt it would be Marcelle.
Hopefully by the end of this bottle I can decide if Marcelle can dethrone Bioderma or will Bioderma remain the champion.

Researchers at the University of Zurich have found that a part of our brain - the right temporoparietal junction - is not only responsible for empathy, but also has a role in modulating self-control.
"Empathy depends on your ability to overcome your own perspective, appreciate someone else's, and step into their shoes. Self-control is essentially the same skill, except that those other shoes belong to your future self—a removed and hypothetical entity who might as well be a different person. So think of self-control as a kind of temporal selflessness. It's Present You taking a hit to help out Future You."
I imagine that this could potentially have some interesting clinical implications. For example, if we engage in activities that might foster empathy - such as volunteering or immersing ourselves in different cultures - might that also help to enhance self-control? If we work on being compassionate to others, will we then have a greater ability to treat our future-selves with that same kindness? It will be interesting to see the future directions of this research.

The observational study, conducted on behalf of the National Joint Registry for England and Wales, examined data from 434,650 hip operations undertaken between April 2003 and September 2011, of which 31,932 (7.3 per cent) were resurfacings. The research looked at how many resurfacing implants failed in the first seven years after surgery and whether the head size of the implant affected failure rates. Patients with resurfacing were also compared with those who had undergone hip replacement with other bearing surfaces.
Hip resurfacing is similar to total hip replacement, except the femoral head (the rounded top section of the thigh bone) is not completely removed. Instead, the superficial bone is removed and replaced with a metal cap. Hip resurfacings always have metal-on-metal bearings, whilst total hip replacements can have a variety of bearing options, such as ceramic, metal, or plastic. Resurfacing is often offered to younger patients as an alternative to hip replacement, but is also commonly used in older patients.
The researchers found that the use of smaller head sizes was linked to higher failure rates and in most cases, resurfacing implants failed more quickly than other bearing surfaces. The only exception to this was for men with a large (≥ 54mm) femoral head, who showed comparable rates of implant success to those who had undergone total hip replacement. This group constituted only 23 per cent (5,085) of the total resurfacing operations in men during the period studied. Women who underwent hip resurfacing experienced particularly poor implant survival, with failure rates up to five times higher than other bearing surfaces.
According to Ashley Blom, Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery in the University's School of Clinical Sciences: "Resurfacing failure rates in women were unacceptably high. In view of these findings, we recommend that resurfacing procedures are not undertaken in women.
"The National Joint Registry for England and Wales has the biggest joint replacement database in the world, allowing us to analyse over 30,000 hip resurfacings up to seven years after surgery. Our findings show that resurfacings with smaller head sizes are prone to early failure, and in particular that resurfacing in women has much worse implant survival, irrespective of head size."
The authors acknowledge that surgeons will need to weigh up other factors when assessing whether hip resurfacing is suitable for a patient, such as the relative benefits of total hip replacement and resurfacing surgery on patient function and quality of life.
According to Professor Art Sedrakyan, of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, and author of a linked Comment accompanying the Article: "There might be a trade-off between higher occurrence of revision and better functional outcomes, which could be important for patients who are doing more physically demanding work or participate in sports."
However, Professor Sedrakyan adds that: "Regulators and surgeons need to make proper recommendations for patients, such as not using resurfacing in women, and developing decision aids for patients to convey the benefits and harms of hip implants. It is also vital to prevent use of the marketing term "young and active"; few patients, even if elderly and inactive, will refuse a device that is intended for the young and active. Communication with patients on all these issues should be more specific and evidence based."
Paper: Failure rates of metal-on-metal hip resurfacings: analysis of data from the National Joint Registry for England and Wales, Alison J Smith, Paul Dieppe, Peter W Howard, Ashley W Blom, on behalf of the National Joint Registry for England and Wales, The Lancet, published online 2 October 2012.

The Agamen
on 2018-04-29, 8:42 pm
Agamale is a term used to identify a separate, third sex in Zioa.
Biologically, agamen are born half-Celestial. The Celestial Children have no gender, which is what causes the difference. The agamale gender was socially established in order to recognize the legitimacy of half-Celestials. Agamales can choose to identify as either male or female, or completely outside of it.
- Biology:
Due to the half-Celestial blood, agamen are not able to reproduce. Because of the wide variety of Celestial Children and their magical properties, agamen may have male or female organs, in some cases both (mutation - able to produce whatever organ at will), and in other cases, neither. Those who posses one or both male and female organs experience sex as pleasure only. There have been no recorded agamale pregnancies.
Celestials who have mated with Yuthian beasts also produce agamen. These agamen are usually fully bestial in appearance, yet for the sake of this RP, please provide a backstory regarding how your bestial agamen came to possess humanoid appearance.
Most nations and classes co-exist peacefully with agamen, however, there are pockets of Parthese society who actively persecute agamen, and the Ahntsag and Ruaj classes do not allow them in their ranks.

◢ Hypermarkets now account for 2% of the total value of the grocery market in Iran, and 15% of the market in Tehran.
◢ But as hypermarket growth begins to stall in Europe, retailers in Iran should take heed. Similar consumer trends are likely to manifest in Iran in the coming years. Big stores won't be enough to win sales.

The cobwebs brushed against her smooth copper fingers which were welded by years of weekly dilka scrubbing. The emptiness inside her resonated too loudly for her to pull them off her hands in the fear that she usually would respond with in such a situation. Complying to her fiery nature, she continued sifting through the box for old letters and photographs with an unexplained anger. Every photograph looked so painfully redundant, nothing looked too unusual: her mother wore a flimsy headscarf, barely displaying her kinked locks twisted together to form two neat plaits on either side of her head. Despite the bi-coloring and resultant monotony of the picture, the richness of her mother's brown skin emanated intensely to the observer, her protruding eyes showed a peculiar depth that alluded unconditional kindness, and her long jar-jar appeared to reflect the sunlight that was shining on it in different hues of its otherwise coal-black color.
Why did her mother have to be the opposite of what she was, and punish her for it? The photographs screamed at her what her mother consistently told her during the peak of her rebellion:
"Do not set foot inside my house with that nose ring and box of cigarettes ever again!"
"Ya biti, how many times do I have to tell you to not express your political views so openly to your disapproving minister uncles?"
"What are you doing with your life? Thirty-one with a foreign husband and no child?"
Annah shrieked in frustration; her mother spent a lifetime tormenting her only daughter and now, she couldn't shed a single tear at her own mother's funeral. And how dare her mother tell her she's proud of her on her deathbed?
"Ah-nna, are you alright?" A familiar voice asked from behind. The anglicized pronunciation of her name always bothered her but at the moment, she preferred to be Anna over being a girl given a name that meant mother in her native tongue when her own mother despised her.
"Uh, yeah, I'm just looking for something that I doubt exists." She scoffed to herself, angling her face slightly in her husband's direction, displaying only half her face and a faint smile. The hostility painted across her face would seem despicable to outsiders not directly experiencing her struggle.
"Alright, we'll be waiting for you downstairs." He told her before closing the attic's door, carefully tip-toeing around his wife to avoid upsetting her in this volatile state.
Hearing his footsteps as he walked away from the door incited a sense of urgency in her. She needed to know what her father meant before anyone got suspicious.
"Your mother was a lot like you: a rebel and revolutionary defying social constructs. She behaved and dressed however she pleased, and spoke whatever and however she pleased. Your grandparents, who you know were freedom fighters, couldn't be prouder of their little independent thinker. She was both a biological and intellectual product of their union, a masterpiece that they valued above all else. I met her in college in 1970 in a protest. I was not only mesmerized by the sharpness of her beauty, I was in awe of her burning passion. I fell in love with your mother so deeply that it would hurt me to tell you what happened to her when you were only a year old. It changed her immensely. You'll find your answers in the box labelled the 1980s to 2000."
The ambiguity in the ending of the short tale her father told her earlier this morning fueled her even more. She decided she would only look for letters, they'll explain in greater detail than the pictures would. Annah continued ravaging through the box so violently until it toppled over. A loosely sealed envelope with the words "BURN AS SOON AS READ" slipped onto her lap. Curiosity whisked her away as she tore through the envelope and gripped the letter placed in it.
Dear Yusuf,
I wish I could start with the niceties I would usually use when I begin my letters but all kindness has been drained out of me. I'm sorry I haven't been home yet but I can't let you and Annah see me like this.
It's been a month and my recovery is slower than I thought. Seeing you wouldn't speed it up, it would only slow it down. I still have dreams of the torture chamber they threw me into, only they remembered to seal the window shut in the dream. I was a fool to believe in guerrilla intersectionality, I should've have listened to you.
I need to cleanse my mind, body and soul. I need to change my ways and find my way back into the light. They threatened to kill you and Annah if I didn't cooperate with their cause. I can't keep challenging them and have you both alive.
The letter fell out of Annah's hand as her eyes trailed the last sentence over and over again. An understanding of her mother's behavior slowly sunk into Annah's brain.
Ummi didn't want me to go through what she went through.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAY!" A symphony of booming voices suddenly engulfed Annah's subconscious into realization: her mother's corpse was ready for burial.
Annah hurriedly tucked the letter into her pocket and stormed to the bottom floor. She was met by a parade of shrieking women running after four boys carrying the bed supporting the wrapped body.
"LET ME THROUGH!" Annah pushed through until she reached her mother. "Put her down, NOW!"
The boys obliged instantly. Annah dropped to her knees beside the bed, her head falling forward and grazing the body covered in white cloth.
"I'm so sorry, Ummi." Her broken voice whispered. "Now I understand. Please forgive me. I love you."
Annah slowly raised her head in perfect synchronization with the boys lifting the bed once again. As the bed ascended to its designated position, the wetness of the cloth where Annah's head rested brushed against her goose-bump-covered bare arm.

Exhibit: Outside The Lines: Modernist Drawings
Featured art: "Foray"
Gregg & Marquis Galleries
All four galleries of The National Arts Club are open to the public and can be visited Monday to Friday between 10 AM and 5 PM (hours are subject to change). There is no admission fee.
Drawings have, for centuries, offered viewers an immediate and intimate glimpse of the artist's imagination. Since the late 19th century, artists have made the argument that drawings can posses intrinsic qualities that make them a major art form in its own right. By the 1920s, artists were challenging the concept of drawing by redefining ideas about line and space. Today, through the use of nontraditional media, many have energized its force and visual impact.
On view will be works by Nancy Grossman, Will Barnet, Jack Pierson, Albert Oehlen and others who employ drawing as an independent and powerful expression.

Intelligent investing is just the beginning.
Our services fall into three broad categories outlined below. The chances are, you will need aspects of each over time and won't fit neatly in any of them - which doesn't concern us. We're far more interested in how we can help you and your family achieve whatever is most important to you.
Wealth Management
Family Office
Everything we do is based on evidence, not opinions or speculation
The foundation of our approach is based on decades of academic research on the optimal way to build investment portfolios, which has a compelling track record of success.
Most clients initially come to us to address the question - will my financial resources enable me to live the life I want to live?
To do this we build an investment strategy for you once we understand how to tailor the following three pillars of portfolio construction specifically for you:
Risk required – what returns do you require to achieve your financial goals?
Risk tolerance – your willingness to accept investment risk whilst still being able to sleep at night; and
Risk capacity – your portfolio's ability to withstand short term market volatility without impacting on your lifestyle or the longevity of your money.
Advice for the real world
We know that investment decisions rarely take place in a vacuum. Like most of our clients with complex financial affairs, you need to consider all manner of other issues including tax, legacy issues and legal consequences. That requires a real commitment to collaboration which is unfortunately all too rare.
We see true wealth management as so much more than just portfolio management. We see it as the combination of;
Investment Consulting – determining your risk required, risk tolerance and risk capacity.
Strategic Planning – Wealth enhancement, wealth protection, wealth transfer and generosity.
Relationship Management – thorough integration with your other professionals such as accountants, lawyers, private bankers and real estate professionals etc.
We also have our own network to ensure we can find an expert to help you resolve any issue with financial implications you encounter.
Looking across generations
Plans for preserving family wealth should take a very long-term view - potentially up to 100 years for some families. The family must invest in human and intellectual capital, not just financial capital. This requires a focus on physical and emotional well-being and education and life experience. There also needs to be representative governance founded on a set of shared values.
Stewart Partners offers a Family Office service to families who require much greater assistance to manage and administer their complex financial affairs.
Services we provide, but are not limited to include:
Next generation capacity building
Strategy, decision making, maintaining fair processes
Comprehensive management, reporting and administration

More often than not, I've found during the co-design process of helping my clients strategize their online content marketing I see two different stories that surface: the "outside" story that they share with others, and the "inside" story ridden with struggle, apprehension, and resistance...
That inside story has a theme, and it's usually self-doubt. Self-doubt is the result of an assortment of hindering beliefs, like fear of judgment, fear of failure, analysis paralysis, imposter syndrome, need I go on? Because I've experienced these various narratives in my struggle with my inside story preventing me from telling my outside tale, it is relatively effortless for me to speak and listen to from a place of empathy (joining). But it's often difficult for me to express self-compassion while I'm under the knife.
One thing I've found that has been extraordinarily powerful in my experience coaching clients through storytelling is through opening up about my vulnerability when it comes to sharing my personal experiences. In doing so, I establish a connection, build trust, and thus creates a safe space to for the person I am working with to share. It's incredible to witness that transformation from fear to courage with that simple step.
That's the power of sharing your story!
Courage is indeed a mindset and embracing it as such is truly powerful. Personally, I experience fear in my work and life every single day. The thought of publishing this piece terrifies me! Where I've grown is in my handling of it. I invite it to coffee, but I don't allow it to take over. Fear is OK, but don't let it keep me from an action, such as telling my story through my content online.

There were times when DirectDraw was ideal. You've got some sprites that you're trying to move across the screen, blitting out a font, stuff like that.
Now, I use Direct3D for those things. It's funny seeing exactly how much code is involved in just making a simple textured quad move across the screen, however.
The worst part of using Managed Direct3D is the exceptions. There's nothing quite as obnoxious as getting an "Error in the application" exception on one line, when the actual error occured dozens or hundreds of lines prior. The documentation is no help, because most of the docs say the exact same thing that pops up in the tooltip in Visual Studio.
So this one goes out to Tom Miller. Thank you very much for making Managed DirectX. However, we now need the documentation and error messages brought up to speed in order to make MDX a first-class .NET citizen instead of a second-class abstraction layer.
If there is an error in a parameter, tell us what parameter instead of throwing an InvalidCallException. Instead of throwing up a generic "Error in the application" exception, give us details.
At least to me, the miniscule performance hit that I'd encounter from doing extra parameter checks is worth the increase in productivity that I'd derive from having decent debugging information.
