Lake City Community Church
Our friendly and knowledgable sales staff is available Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm to guide you to the ideal solution for your audio, visual and lighting needs. Fill out the form below and we'll get right back to you!
Lake City Community Church had many options for the company to hire as their integrator for the Sound, Video, & Lighting and Acoustical Consulting. Tod Hornby Associate Pastor of Worship & Arts, describes the Church's decision to partner with CCI Solutions with no regrets based on several factors. Tod recalls, "We had a lot of choices. We were going to go with CCI from the very beginning based upon reputation. I heard from many people who have used CCI, they had been fantastic and the clients had been incredibly happy.
"We also had in mind, and we had received counsel about this, we were going to use one company to do all disciplines; meaning the Sound, Video and Lighting."
Lake City met with Ron Simonson, CCI Solutions' President and CEO and determined CCI was the kind of company their church needed to help them accomplish their ministry goals and work with architect and various contractors which had already been hired. "Ron Simonson was just a joy to work with," Tod Hornby asserts "From of a design/build aspect, Ron worked so well with our architect and our business administrator and did a great job. He was flexible and he definitely knows his stuff; I mean the guy really KNOWS his stuff. He was able to make recommendations but also was able to work within our workflow which was not always the same as other churches and we were able to customize a lot of things."
"A strength which continues to set CCI Solutions apart from the competition is their installers and technicians. They are not contracted out to other companies, but are full-time CCI employees who are directly accountable to the CCI Solutions Project Manager and Consultants. Some have been working together as a team for over 30 years. The team works seamlessly together on every project and have developed a cohesiveness and professional demeanor which keeps them together on the jobsite and beyond." Tod states, "The guys on a job site like this can be a 'make-it or break-it' deal for any company doing this kind of work. The CCI Solutions guys were top notch. The techs were obviously well trained, but also very personable & relational too. They got along well with all our other subcontractors especially when things got kind of crazy, which was huge because we had some bizarre scheduling going on. They were able to bend and be flexible. On a job-site and in a project, there's always finger pointing and with CCI, we never saw any finger pointing. I never saw any of that, I only saw a 'can-do' attitude no matter what distractions or interruptions existed. They made it happen."
"CCI Solutions is not just about making the sale and moving on to the next client. They've been on the other side of these types of ventures and vow to be the type of organization that genuinely cares about the churches they serve and continue emphasize customer service, quality, integrity and loyalty. CCI cares about each and every church they partner with and cheer for their effectiveness in ministry. That's their ministry. This emphasis was evident to Lake City. Tod recalls CCI Solutions' service after the sale. "CCI has been very accessible, before and after the job was completed. I have been able to get to the Top Guy (Ron Simonson) with just a phone call. Emails and phone messages are answered promptly and that made it extremely easy to recommend CCI to another church in Spokane, WA. They were in a project where they weren't getting phone calls and emails returned and it was important to them that they have a contracting company that would stay in contact with them. I said to them 'you NEED to get a hold of CCI Solutions' and you made it very easy to recommend you to them. I said to them, 'you've got to check these guys out, because they're GOOD. We couldn't be happier and we'd recommend CCI again in a heartbeat, especially for a big build like this!"

Letters to the Editor
Northen letter: Protect public lands
Protect our public lands. For Rep. Raul Labrador to call the armed takeover of our wildlife refuge an act of civil disobedience cannot be compared to Thoreau. It is insurrection. These men need to be removed from our refuge and arrested. Remember that the lands managed by the government belong to all the people. The Taylor Grazing Act was put in place to protect our lands from overuse and abuse. There are many ranchers who follow the rules and pay their grazing fees. The second fire started by the Hammonds was during a red flag warning and endangered the lives of firefighters.
Labrador stated that inadequate land management has contributed to devastating wildfires, yet the Elk Fire Complex in 2013, one of the largest in Idaho burned through land already harvested for timber. Unfortunately climate change with drier winters and hotter summers will be contributing to larger wildfires.
The truth is millions of Americans care deeply about their public lands and want to see them protected. The majority of people believe these lands should be managed by the federal government for the benefit of all and for future generations to enjoy.

Itchen Sixth Form College will be fielding both a girls and boys volleyball team at this year's National Championships for the first time in the college's history.
Both teams progressed to the finals in Nottingham by winning all of their matches at the South East regional tournament before Christmas.
Volleyball in the South East has traditionally seen the likes of Bexhill College and Peter Symonds College represent the region so it is significant that they beat both colleges in the men's and women's section.
Coach James Bedwell said: "This is a massive achievement for both teams to progress, since volleyball has only recently developed at Itchen.
"We are always up against very professional set-ups in the South East region with strong competition from Peter Symonds and Bexhill, who have always traditionally represented the South East region at the National Championships.
"Both boys and girls teams progressed by winning all their games at the regionals and are now very excited for the Nationals Championships in Nottingham. For many of the players it will be their first time competing at this level."

Eminem is putting on for his hometown by partnering with Detroit's own StockX, the "Stock Market of Things." Marshall Mathers and his manager, Paul Rosenberg, are investing in the company.
The platform is a resource to rate the value of limited edition products, including shoes. The company will authenticate every piece of merchandise on its website and provide a secure marketplace for buyers and sellers to reach an agreement on prices of products based on their real-time worth. In its partnership with Slim Shady, StockX is holding a giveaway for a pair of Eminem's Carhart Jordan 4 sneakers.
"Sneakers have always been a huge interest of mine, for at least as long as I've been rapping, and I'm proud of the fact that I've had so many collaborations with Nike and Jordan Brand," Eminem says in a press release. "I really like the fact that sneakers are a big part of what StockX is doing. When I found out that they happen to be doing it from downtown Detroit, it made even more sense to get involved."
StockX was founded in February by Josh Luber and Dan Gilbert, who is majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team is currently playing in the NBA Finals.
Luber, CEO of the company, expresses excitement in having Eminem join the team as other high-profile investors prepare to commit to StockX.
"StockX is already proving that a 'stock market of things' is a viable and better way to both buy and sell certain product categories," he says. "Eminem's partnership is particularly meaningful in that he's a true sneakerhead who genuinely understands the market and is excited to help grow the community. Beyond that, he's created one of the worlds' iconic brands, so it's an honor to have him and Paul as both investors and strategic partners."
To win the Eminem Carhart Jordan 4 sneakers, valued at $30,000, contestants can buy or sell shoes through StockX or refer friends to the site. The runner-up receives a prize package of three Yeezy shoes and third place gets a package of five Jordan 1 shoes.

Greystone Mansion/
Eddie and I headed over to Greystone Mansion Easter morning to do a little exploring before getting together with family. It's a property I've never visited before and it was such a beautiful day, I knew it would make for a lovely holiday outing. The estate is owned by the city of Beverly Hills and the grounds are open to the public daily - no fee for parking or admission! It's such a hidden gem, tucked away in the hills with a breathtaking view of the city. We didn't explore inside the mansion itself as it's is only open during special programs and events, but I hope to take a peek inside at some point in the future. The grounds alone are worth a viz though!Read More

There will never be another Deborah and Joe. And there will never be another first wedding at the soon-to-open Westin Memorial City. Naturally the folks at the fabulous new Westin wanted to commemorate this sweet Houston couple's very special status…by having them graffiti the walls and floor. Huh??
OK, so it wasn't exactly spray tagging. But the couple was given a nice little marker and the chance to write their names and wedding date on the ballroom wall and the floor of the guest room where they'll be spending their wedding night this coming May. "That way they will be a part of the hotel forever!" says Westin publicist Brittany Zucker. Check out Deborah's bridal hard hat—so cute!
You won't be able to take a pen to the walls at the Westin Memorial City (at least, not legally), but you CAN book this absolutely beautiful hotel for your wedding. We've got lots more details on the new Westin's wow-worthy architectural features, design elements and ballroom space in this issue of the Wedding Buzz. Or visit the hotel virtually at Weddings in Houston.

Hello all.
I'm after having a couple of rollers turned in 1045. PDF attached below, containing drawings of the two rollers in question. A couple of previews in 3D:
DRIVER: https://a360.co/2IYUBZe
IDLER: https://a360.co/2sqwHLa
Someone in the North West would be convenient (or the Midlands, where I visit every so often) - as I'd be able to drop off the bearings for checking fit (and save myself some postage/worry picking up the job in person).
PM me your quotes/questions/opinions etc.
All the best.

Born in 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia, André 3000 began performing in his teens with a friend as 2 Shades Deep. The pair got a record deal and changed their name to OutKast. Their first single, 1993's "Players' Ball," was a Christmas song, and it stayed at No. 1 on the rap charts for six weeks. By the end of the decade, OutKast was a known quantity, and their single "Hey Ya!" cemented the group's reputation. The song went on to be named one of Rolling Stone's top 500 songs of all time, and OutKast collected six Grammy Awards along the way.

Today is World Oral Health Day, OK so maybe not Christmas or Easter, but still an event day that should catch our attention. Particularly, when recent studies have uncovered such mouth dropping statistics as less than half of the UK population brush their teeth twice a day, despite 34% of us being worried about our smile.
Oral hygiene experts are encouraging us to pay more attention to the quality of their teeth cleaning routine. World Oral Health Day encourages us to take better care of our mouths as poor oral health can lead to chronic bad breath, heart disease, or in some cases, cancer. However, many people will be focused on the aesthetics of their teeth, not the health aspect that is so crucial.
By using a charcoal toothpaste you can combat both oral hygiene and keeping those pearly whites super shiny bright. Dublin based, Beverly Hills Formula is one of the longest and most trusted whitening brands on the market, having been formulated in California and then in 1992 the brand was later established in Ireland. Today, Beverly Hills Formula leads the way with their innovative Professional White and Perfect White range of whitening toothpastes and mouthwash.
Black Pearl, and the original black toothpaste Perfect White Black, are non-abrasive and contain Activated Charcoal, an effective and safe way to clean and whiten teeth which also helps combat plaque, gum disease and bad breath.
You can also try the award-winning Perfect White Black mouthwash. The first of its kind black 'shake to activate' mouthwash has been scientifically formulated to combat bad breath using Activated Charcoal, which for centuries was used as a method of whitening teeth and medicine by the Egyptians and Greeks.

"Real Sex Tips" Poem Talks Donut Blow Jobs, Masturbation, and Owning Your Sexuality
Women's magazines are fond of providing sex tips (and we are no exception), but when a publication has to come up with lists of coital pointers over and over again, things can get a little ridiculous. But as Desireé Dellagiacomo and Kaycee Filson point out in the their "Real Sex Tips" poem, those lists are often missing one aspect of sex entirely. "In over 50 sex tips," they say, after listing a few more humorous examples, "my vagina is never mentioned once."
And seriously, what is it with people getting all weirded out by vaginas? Apparently even tampon companies, which you'd think would be all about the vagina. And while women's magazines do run features involving vaginas, it's far more common to come across instructions for male genitalia in their pages. And as Dellagiacomo and Filson go on in their poem to point out, this is part of a larger trend of women not feeling ownership of their own sexuality.
"As a woman, everything says I am defined by what is put inside of me," they say. The poem shows their own evolution towards feeling confident with their own sexuality, in "giving [a] partner instructions," and learning how "to say clitoris and not flinch."
For women in our culture, feeling sexually empowered is hard. But like Dellagiacomo and Filson, we are hopefully all learning "how to take [our own bodies] back." Because these are the real sex tips we need.

I've had some more time to contemplate yesterday's stage of the Tour de France. We had some conversations about it at work, Facebook and Twitter; and I had a bit of a think on my ride this afternoon. (There were no "penalty laps" for me today, by the way.) Some of those people are probably reading this, and I invite them (and everyone else) to leave a comment.
Former carpool buddy Steve noted that if an auto racer has a mechanical problem, they don't stop the race. True indeed. I do think the comparison falls apart when you consider that the car really is the thing that does all the work. Sure, it has to be driven well; but the car is the thing that's tuned, and it's the sine qua none of auto racing. Bikes matter in the Tour de France, of course; but the UCI tries to keep everything fair-ish between riders.
Meanwhile, all-around badass Alex simply says, "Cry me a river." He has some interesting points. As an oh-so-close-to-elite runner — seriously, he ran a 2:27 Boston Marathon — I take what he says seriously from an athlete's perspective, and he likes to think about the social aspects of sport. He professes great respect for the Tour and its riders, and I believe he's sincere. His main points are thus:
- If a runner trips, no one waits. Why should cycling be any different?
- Europeans like to inject unnecessary ambiguity and drama into sporting events. Every World Cup or European championship has some event that lets the losing team argue that it should have won, that they lost because of bad officiating or bad luck. And these "unwritten rules" of cycling are just another way of perpetuating an inter-European or "us vs. them" rivalry and means never having to acknowledge someone else is better.
- The structure of Grand Tour cycling teams is very 19th century, with expectations of deferring to your superiors and having some competitors there to serve team leaders.
All I can do is agree with Alex on these observations, but I don't really think that some of them apply very much to cycling, which is a different kind of animal than running or footie. Running is all and only about pure talent: Anyone can do it; you don't need much more than innate ability, a bit of tactics and self-awareness, and the time to train; and you can pretty easily rank people objectively on time over a given distance. These are some of the reasons that I love running almost as much as cycling.
But you also can't really have a running race like the Tour de France, where you compete for 4-6 hours every day for three weeks. (I guess that means cycling is easier than running. :^) And if you're going to have such a race, you need helpers for the people who can actually win it. And some of them have to be riders without a chance of winning the Tour. Alright, you could just have the 20 strongest cyclists in the world go out and ride every man for himself for 23 days, but it would be a very, very boring race. No amazing sprinters would show up. No mountain specialists either. It would be everybody getting their asses handed to them by two or three guys over and over again. Yawn.
What does all this have to do with Alberto Contador attacking Andy Schleck? Well, I can definitely see where people are coming from when they say, as Ryder Hesjdal did yesterday, "Hey, that's bicycle racing." If that's how you want to race, it's true that there are no actual rules against it. And I can see how if you're inclined to see all sports events as a battle of wills and skills between completely autonomous actors that's also seasoned by both good and bad luck, it would make sense that you'd see no problem whatsoever in what Contador did yesterday. I get that.
But cycling is a team sport that mixes contenders and helpers, however elitist or class-suffused that strikes you. And if that's the way it's going to be, there are consequences to crossing certain lines, even if they're fuzzy, unwritten, nonbinding, "gentlemanly," quaint lines. Crossing those lines — like attacking in the feed zone or trying take the lead on the final day — will alienate you from the public and your fellow riders, the people who you might need to help you control the pace someday or chase down a shared rival.
So was it wrong? Not in any kind of absolute right and wrong. It's not in the same class as doping or cheating or knocking over a rival. Was it a smart move for Contador in the stage? We'll see. Everyone says he's a better time-trialist than Schleck and could certainly have taken the lead on the second to last day; but that's cutting it a little close, to be sure. Frankly, I'm not sure that Schleck could have taken all that much time yesterday. Given the time Contador gained on the downhill, he might not have lost any time after the attack at all. Then again, maybe he would have, and they were only 31 seconds apart at the start of the day. We'll never know the true impact.
(My objection yesterday was that Contador's attack was a weaker rider taking advantage of a stronger rider's technical malfunction to get an unfair advantage. I still feel that way, but since we can't know what would have happened if Schleck's initial attack would have succeeded, I'm going to just say that it's more up in the air and debatable than I had suggested.)
But in the long run, it doesn't matter what I think. It matters what Contador and Schleck's peers think. If there are enough riders who feel like Hesjdal, then maybe Contador hasn't done anything wrong. But if there are more riders like Armstrong who look at this with some suspicion or hostility, then maybe it was a chump move in the end.
We'll see.

Disney has spread its magic to Shanghai with its latest Disney Shanghai Resort located in Shanghai, China. Asides from the fun rides and whimsical characters, some Muslims may be surprised to find that there is indeed halal food available at the park; if you know where to look.
Disneytown, the free downtown area located right next to the theme park, is where you can find the famous Food Republic food court. Don't worry if you have already entered the park as there is a side entrance where you can exit and re-enter the park again using your ticket.
Right when you step in, there will be a halal food stall named Yershan Restaurant. They offer a nice menu featuring some Chinese-Uighur specialties at a reasonable price (for a Disney restaurant).
Sets start at just 40 RMB for a rice or noodle dish. Although the rice is quite oily, it is very tasty and portions are large so some light eaters can share.
There are also lamb skewers at only 5 RMB each which is comparable to what you can find in the city. The perfect halal snack at Disneyland in Shanghai!
Need hotel recommendations in Shanghai that are located near Muslim restaurants and mosques? Just send us a message and we can make personal recommendations at no charge!

About Medicine Man Technologies Inc.
In late 2012, Andy Williams was introduced to Brett Roper and subsequent discussions revealed the substantial value of creating a new company that could "house" as well as deliver the substantial experience Medicine Man Denver had acquired over the past five years. In April 2014, the business venture incorporated in Nevada as a 'C' Corporation under the name of Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. and began generating revenues through sales of consulting and licensing services. Since the business is based in the advisory and consulting space and not in the actual growing and distribution of the product, the company completed it's public company filing and had it's first public sale in January 2016.

SHIP'S LOG, USCSS MONTERO, CAPTAIN MILLER RECORDING. Our run to the Frontier has been fairly routine. Nothing is left to do now other than wait to awaken from hypersleep, ready to deliver our goods to the colony of Sutter's World. END TRANSMISSION
This scenario is set in the harsh and unforgiving setting of ALIEN - a universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship. On the cusp of known space, characters must face their demons - both of the inner and other kind.
The scenario is suitable for roleolayers of all experiences, though the horror and intra-group tensions make it suitable for mature players.
"I have spent the last few days in the grip of an unpleasant feeling. Wherever I look I see strange, unsettling signs... It started with the bizarre flights patterns of a flock of starlings, slowly fading into the northern sky. Then, I noticed that the stump of a long dead tree along the road going north had started producing new sprouts.
"I stayed up for the past two nights to observe the stars, trying to draw an auspicium, an answer from the gods, but all I got was silence and a terrible headache. I'm afraid I'm too old for this! That's why I need your help: You will travel north, to the castrum of Augustodunum. There you will start an investigation and report to me with the results."
- Marcus Nepos, an magister of the cursus auguralis
So starts the official assignment of a hard bitten Cohort stationed on the edge of the Empire the long conquered southern lands of the Kellic tribes. However, this proves to be no safe task, as the tale hides the legacy of a king which threatens to awaken a slumbering threat.
Ruma: Dawn of Empire is a Powered by the Apocalypse RPG set in an alternate Roman Empire where myth and magic are real. The PCs are a Cohort tasked by the senate to tackle unknown threats on the edge of the new empire.
"There's more to the world than most of us know. Academic wizards and gutter mages, vampires and werewolves, Men in Black working for a secret religious order and a police division investigating Fortean crimes. The cities and the very landscape encompass haunted places and lost bubbles of history, faerie courts and places of power.
"But you know. You're at the edge of the Hidden World. Maybe you've seen it and can't ignore it. Maybe you're from the Hidden World, but with ties to humanity."
This game is set in a modern fantasy UK and inspired by the PC Grant series and Being Human TV show. The players are the South Yorkshire Irregulars, a band of people on the edge of the Hidden World who find themselves involved in cases and investigating mysteries that no one else can help with (or, to be honest, want to help with).
In this game, the GMing duties will be shared between Luke and Ayla, who is an new GM emerging from Adventure Squad. Its is suitable for all ages, including teenage players.

An Event Apart
The very first web conference I attended was the second ever An Event Apart in Atlanta in 2006. Don't believe me, here I am eating a hamburger. I still have that grey undershirt by the way.
I remember that trip and that day well. I specifically remember Zeldman's advice to never respond to an RFP longer than two pages. I can't recall any other specific insights gained, but I remember walking away feeling like I had tons of work to do to be a real web developer.
Well in the 11 years since, I think I've done alright.
When I saw the line-up for Seattle 2017, every single session will help me improve. Here are some sessions I'm particularly exctied about and what I'm hoping to get out of them.
- The Codependent's Guide to Design Collaboration - Zeldman leads the day off with something where all developers can do better
- Practical Branding - brand is a big part of what we do at A Brave New
- Onboarding for Any Situation - we have a few clients that build software and having a framework for a positive first-use experience will be helpful
- Motion In Design Systems - ahh animation, all the cool kids do it, but how do we make it classy
- Design Beyond Our Devices - pattern languages are my love language(s)
- Evaluating Technology - this is my primary area of expertise so I'm interested to learn how others go about this process
- New CSS Layout Meets the Real World - grid is almost brand new to me and I can always brush up on flexbox
- Designing with Grid - perhaps the session I'm most exited for, from what I've read the grid will save my soul
- Design for Real Life - Eric Meyer is respected for a reason, he could talk about rocks and I would go
- The Joy of Optimizing - I am doing some cool stuff on the code side, optimizing images is another matter
- 10 Things You Can and Should Do With SVG - dabbled in SVG, and want to know more
- Let's Build a Website - can't wait to follow someone's process start to finish and steal the good stuff
This event will will be 11 years to the day since my last An Event Apart. A lot has happened since April 2006, but all that time I've proud to be part of the blue beanie wearing club. I'm looking forward to sharpening my skills even further.

Project summary
VrijBaan issues
How to improve your return to employment? Being disabled, what is your input in this rehabilitation process and are you capable to enhance your input? These and other related topics were the issues in the VrijBaan project.
In the project we developed the 'VrijBaan Empowerment Method'.
This is a new approch on 'empowering' people with labour disablities. Through measurement of individual empowerment level the need for personality training is assessed. Consequently a special training programme is meant to empower participants to become more active and to improve their self steering capacity in finding sustainable jobs.

VrijBaan bench mark
This Development Partnership in the Netherlands is adopting a very structured and scientific approach to interpreting one of the main building blocks of the EQUAL Community Initiative. Empowerment is a basic tenet of EQUAL and everyone agrees that it's a good idea but what does it really offer to people with a disability and their chances of finding a job?

Heavenly hellebores
They don't call these blooms 'Winter Roses' for nothing!
When the rest of the garden is in its drab, winter dormancy, these angelic lovelies pop their heads up and put on a show.
I have been collecting hellebores (aka Winter or Lenten Roses) for a few years now.
A July birthday means that my Sweetness gifts me a hellebore at least once a year!
I love their demure and gentle tones. Despite their apparent softness, they are resilient and don't mind the shade.
They're not that keen on all the attention though, preferring to hide away under the trees, with heads bowed.
Come on girlies, lift those heads up. Stand tall and proud! The plant breeders are definitely selecting for this more forthright, upright trait.
Sweet hellebores usher in the appearance of the more showy jonquils.
And set the stage for the big Spring players - the blossom trees!
Bring on the Spring I say. But without the winter cold, we'd not have known the subtleties of the hellebore!

Margo Jefferson is the author of Negroland: A Memoir, which won a National Book Critics Circle award, (for autobiography) and was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford prize. Born in Chicago, she lives in New York and has worked as an associate editor for Newsweek, and a book and theatre critic for the New York Times, where she won a Pulitzer prize for criticism. Aged 70, she now teaches at Columbia University School of Arts. Her book On Michael Jackson will be published on 3 May (Granta, £9.99).
This book is about the life and work of Michael Jackson, from his early years as a child star to the "freak show" aspects of his image later on. Why write about an already well-documented life?
Because I've always loved Michael Jackson – first in a "pure fan" way, and then as I got older it became a critic's fascination. He was the best performer at his peak – an all-encompassing dancing, singing artist in the theatrical tradition of Fred Astaire, Sammy Davis Jr, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, with an acute sense of the mise en scène. He craved omniscient superstar status – a need to top himself with more record sales, bigger audiences, than the last time. By the time I was writing this book, he had become emblematic of complicated dilemmas, cultural obsessions, racial, gender and body metamorphoses.
This book was first published in the US in 2006, three years before Jackson died. It's now out in the UK with an updated introduction. Has your outlook on his life, and his trial for child molestation, changed since then?
Yes and no. I can now feel my own struggles in this book. I was asking questions that weren't being asked then except through underground gossip routes – on his vitiligo, on the alleged sex with little boys – to which I could get no firm answers. The final chapter, on his trial, I'd want to think through more carefully now, especially in the context of #MeToo and the Time's Up movement, and to grapple with the asymmetries of the alleged sex abuse.
You write that Michael Jackson, since his death, has been rehabilitated into the music canon – that "he got it all back with his art" after his death. Do you think we can separate his music, wonderful as it was, from the allegations that dogged him?
No, we can't. But his death allowed the canon simultaneously to reacknowledge the greatness of his art and to look at him as a damaged, harmed, and harming person. I have to live with, and keep analysing, this contradiction. In deciding I love Michael Jackson I take it all in – his music, the crimes he may have committed, his inner turmoil. I need the pleasure and the complications he gives me. As F Scott Fitzgerald said: "The test of a truly first-rate intelligence is to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function."
Jackson the child star was thrown into an adult world and abused by his father but you also call him a pioneer. Can he be both victim and pioneer?
I've long been interested in child stars. It's a fascination that goes back to watching Shirley Temple, but in his case, a gifted child star becomes an equally gifted adult, and a ground-breaking figure. Was he a victim? He was conscripted by a domineering father into very tough, demanding work. There are accounts of the hours of rehearsing he did and the travelling. But he was also pioneering. The black child in American culture tended to be seen as someone too young to be dangerous yet. He was the male version of Topsy from Uncle Tom's Cabin or the hired "piccaninny". What he managed to do was to transform that "pic" into an adorable, all-American black boy.
You call the adult Jackson a shape-shifter, playing with notions of gender and race. Would he have been more at home today when biology is increasingly being seen and accepted as distinct from gender?
Possibly. He was interested in mixing musical genres so he mixed pop and rock with sentimental Tin Pan Alley, and it was the same with his interior and exterior construction of himself. But he was also very cautious and reticent in talking about gender and sexuality. He didn't make daring decisions in the way Madonna did, who was willing to be openly transgressive. He was always playing the innocent.
What was the first Michael Jackson record you bought?
I Want You Back by The Jackson 5. It was when they were still putting out 45s. I was dancing to it at every party so I bought the record. His fans then were people in their 20s who'd grown up on Motown but saw the politics of Berry Gordy's Motown as so middle-of-the-road.
Is there a black singer alive today breaking as many boundaries?
I don't know yet if they're breaking the same kind of ground – someone like Kendrick Lamar is addressing race in interesting ways. And Beyoncé is combining music with the theatre and dance tradition – but I have to wait and see.
What kind of music do you listen to?
It depends on the time of day, my mood, what I'm writing. I'll listen to classical music, jazz, songs from the great American song book, Nigerian pop, minimalism. It's an unholy mix.
Is the US a better place to live than it used to be for black Americans?
It is in terms of culture. If you look at the arts pages of the New York Times, which are very mainstream, a variety of artists will be represented – Latino, black, Asian. It's the same with Hollywood, TV and literature. There are nonwhite legacies and traditions pushing forward and being acknowledged in ways they haven't been before. But it's a fraught time. Injustices are being acknowledged but the push-back is terrifying.
What's the last really great book you read?
A book of poems by Layli Long Soldier called Whereas. She is so linguistically sophisticated. The collection is a combination of poetry as personal, family and psychic narrative, with poetry as cultural and political narrative.
Which novelists and nonfiction writers working today do you most admire?
Now that I'm no longer a beat critic, I look for books that provide intellectual stimulation or that might be interesting to teach. Often I'm looking for writers who work in the same form as me, so I like the essayist experimentation of Yiyun Li, and I like Claudia Rankine, Maggie Nelson, Fred Moten. I follow critics, too: Darryl Pinckney in the New York Review of Books and Jacqueline Rose in the London Review of Books. I've recently read White Tears by Hari Kunzru, which I loved, and Ayòbámi Adébáyò's Stay With Me – her writing is a great pleasure. I like reading Nell Zink and I'm just starting Rachel Kushner's first novel, Telex from Cuba, because I thought her second, The Flamethrowers, was amazing.
Do you prefer to read on paper or a screen?
I still like to read the old-fashioned way but I do read on screen when I travel. I have an iPad and I'm happy to download books but in my house and on the subway I still like reading physical books. I love the way they look and to hold them. I still get the newspaper delivered to my door.
Which classic novel are you most ashamed not to have read?
So many. A few years ago I did War and Peace. That helped assuage my guilt.

I've tried to ignore the patronising viral "Rules for Women during the World Cup" tweets, I am ignoring Facebook offers to go to a spa for "girly bubbles" to escape the football. But the idea of actually watching football on a big screen, whilst being pampered and with a glass of something cool? Now that almost sounded tempting for a moment – until I reached the part about this being so that I could "ogle footballers' legs".
That is when I felt the urge to write something about the appalling gender stereotypes which seem to have beset the world's marketers. This offends me as a feminist and a marketing expert in pretty much equal measure.
How, I wonder, have major commercial organisations, media publications, with market intelligence and smart employees, as well as a range of smaller businesses, which seem to be targeting women on the basis of antiquated gender stereotypes, failed to notice that women like football too?
Female football fans
I recently reflected on the fact that football is a participation sport and played by more women than men in countries such as the USA. Women's football is also growing in England where 1.7m women play football – against the trend of declining participation in the men's game – and in many other parts of the world.
If we consider the growth in football support by women who are every bit as excited by the World Cup as our male counterparts, then this just shows poor understanding of the football market and the motivations of a significant proportion of the global football fanbase. It is also, of course, deeply irritating in its use of stereotypes which, were they racial or national, might see a much bigger backlash.
So why is the communication strategy going so badly wrong for these types of organisations and outlets?
It would appear that segmentation (the way marketers identify target groups) is being done on the basis of demographics and other descriptive variables rather than on "benefit segmentation". This has been the marketers' tool for determining the spending decisions of different groups of customers ever since Russell Haley wrote about toothpaste buying habits back in 1968. He examined whether it was for taste, whiteness of teeth, avoiding cavities, and so on. Then, and only then, should we consider who, what and where the customers are that should be targeted with our products.
Like many other aspects of customer or fan analysis, World Cup support and engagement by fans is very obviously no "one size fits all" type of process. And it is absolutely critical to begin by asking Haley's "why" question. Why do people engage with a tournament such as the World Cup and maybe too, why not? My "why" was about family and my father supporting and playing football, childhood memories and family loyalty.
Now maybe – and I can only assume that the market intelligence of those promoting "laddish" messages or offering "girlie" alternatives, suggests this – there is still a majority of those who engage with the World Cup, to whatever extent and for whatever reason, who turn out to be male.
But I'd be sure that the proportion of those who are female is large and growing.
So ignore us at your peril. Patronise us at your own risk. Use stereotypes of women's lack of interest in football and the World Cup at the risk of making yourself look like antiquated misogynists. And attempt ill-conceived marketing communication strategies, which not only miss their target and waste your marketing spend, but actively irritate a good proportion of the football supporting market, at the risk of being pilloried across social media.
And as to the spa offer, which kindly offered a whole mixed batch of women, including female England international players, the option of either going to their spa to avoid football or to watch football on a big screen in order to ogle players' legs whilst sipping champagne, well I'm half tempted to turn up to see how all these people with diverse interests and motivations could possibly enjoy being put into the same space together. Oh to be a fly on the wall.
But then I'll be too busy watching the football. And, at risk of upsetting the stereotypes even more, I may well have a beer in my hand.

A photo of your wedding offers a huge part of your wedding and memories for years to come. Your wedding photographer should give you plenty of ideas if you go to for advice, and be sure to look through their portfolio, get some ideas from the general style, too. You might also want a photographer with you, invite to your place, before the big day, so that they can work together, may decide on appropriate locations for photos and film footage to explore some alternative not have thought of before.
An important point is to take care of your personality, your comfort zone and how you want you're wedding to be shown glue. There are different types of wedding photos are available, and many photographers offer a good selection, to the extent of their abilities. For example, photographer gets physical moments during the day, detailed photos of your wedding dress preparations, rings, flowers and all small objects that your wedding so special and make the most of the exclusivity of your wedding.
Here are some ideas to give you best inspiration for wedding photography:
Pre-ceremony shots
Preparing plans typically cover the wedding dress, bridal bouquet and shoes, and the bridesmaids, and get ready for the big day. If your photographer working as part team then he can witnesses the recordings, as they prepare for marriage. A nice gesture is to give details, but the real bride and groom to symbolic images, like the wedding dress and groom suit hanging side by side to create or to show the bride and groom's shoes or rings beside each other. There is also that all-important moment of arrival, when the bride turns up the ceremony, the photographer does not want to miss this.
Ceremony shots
This is probably a mixture of traditional, to be open and provides photos, while the photographer in the background during the ceremony, and then when the wedding party ready to be bundled together for photos. Your wedding photographer should be in which option is most valuable for the professional image, but be sure to let them know if you have your own ideas in my head.
Post-ceremony shots
Go for single, double and group shots, or let your photographer to capture loose, what catches their eye during reception. Use cause reflections, lighting and decor to make your photos individuality and interest. Take the time to have as a couple, a couple of photos taken that show the real feelings at that moment. And last but not least, make sure you have many photos of her wedding dress in all the details and the glory - after all, would not wear it again.

We had three terrific days in Kruger National Park on safari with Chas's parents. October is a great time to visit Kruger, and this one was especially good as the rainy season hasn't yet started, there is almost no risk of malaria, and there are lots and lots of baby animals!
Below are some pictures from our trip. With game drives in the early mornings and afternoons, our trip highlights included seeing THREE leopards in one day (of course I forget my camera battery that drive), two great lion and lion cub sightings, finally spotting a rhinoceros, an incredible sunset on a bridge surrounded by elephants, giraffe, hippos, crocodiles, birds and baboons, and the one-man show we witnessed from our safari guide/chef/driver. Seriously—the guy did everything!
P.S. A sad update on increases in rhino poaching in Kruger Park.

I have been sewing for 40 plus years and come from a long line of garment experts—my mother helped support the family as a very fine seamstress, my grandfather owned lace factories in Europe, and my great-grandfather built one of the first ready-to-wear men's shirt factories in Germany. My studies have included couture construction and patternmaking at Apparel Arts in San Francisco and elsewhere. I am passionate about sewing and love the elegance of a well made garment. I love to teach sewing to adults and enjoy the satisfaction of helping my students tap into their creativity.
I serve all of Sonoma County and the surrounding areas.
Marguerite --
Just a note to thank you again for tackling our English-pattern/birthday-gift project. Our daughter is thrilled. She was still at school when I dropped the coat off at her house. So I just received an e-mail from her telling me what a beautiful job had been done on the the coat. She said that the hems at the wrists and knees were perfect. She also added, "And I do love all the pockets."
Thank you....again and again!

Hi Marguerite -
I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you so much for your beautiful work on my dress! I tried it on again after Ryan picked it up, and the length is perfect. I really could not have imagined it turning out any better - I love the way you altered the back, the fit around my chest and shoulders is just right... and it was a pleasure working with you throughout the process. I know my Mom will be thrilled to see it re-imagined, too.
Thank you again for all your time and skill that went into the dress!
Becky- Oakland

The New Birth and Beyond

The first step to getting right with God is to repent of your sins. Every person who will make a start towards God will have to humble themselves and ask God to forgive them of all their sins.
Luke 13:3
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
To understand how to repent, we must ask you a question. If you did something wrong to another person what would you have to say to them? Yes, you would have to ask them to forgive you or say you're sorry. Now, if you never asked them, you only thought you were sorry but never told them, would they know you were sorry? Of course not, you must speak to them and ask their forgiveness.
The same is true when we pray, we cannot think our prayers we must speak them out of our mouths, we must pray out loud when repenting of our sins.
Ask the Lord to forgive you of every sin, every lie, dishonest thing, everything you have ever done since even the age of a child!
You should repent every day, every opportunity you have!
Repenting is simply asking God to forgive you of every thing you have done wrong
Psalms 51:1-13 gives us an incredible insight on how to truly repent, please take time to search these scriptures.
Being Baptized in Jesus Name
This is a very important step to your new birth experience. We must be baptized the Biblical way, to receive true salvation. The Bible warns in many places that there will be false doctrines, or false teachings and that we must study the word of God to know the truth. There are a lot of false teachings on the subject of baptism, we must learn from the scriptures instead of people who mean well, but have little knowledge. The name of Jesus is the greatest name ever given, He is the one who died for us on the cross, He was willing to die that we may have everlasting life!
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
We must realize that through the NAME of Jesus we are saved! Many churches baptize repeating the command in Matthew 28:19 instead of obeying the command, they simply repeat what Jesus said to do.
Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
If you pay close attention to this scripture, you will notice that it says to baptize in the NAME of. Now the word NAME is singular meaning only one. There is only one NAME whereby we must be saved!
The name is JESUS! Every scripture reference of actual baptisms in the word of God after Jesus death, show that baptism was performed in the NAME OF JESUS!
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8:16
(for as yet He was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Acts 10:48
And He commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they Him to tarry certain days.
Acts 19:5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus
Colossians 3:17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.
Philippians 2:9
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:
Receiving the Holy Ghost
Part of the new birth as spoken in John 3:5 is to receive the spirit of God or the Holy Ghost.
John 3:5
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Expect a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
It is very important that if you have not received the Holy Ghost since you have repented and have been baptized in Jesus name that you seek for the Holy Ghost as often as possible until you receive it.
When the people in the Bible received the Holy Ghost, there was no question if they had it or not. You see, there was a certain sign that was given to show the Holy Ghost was given. Speaking in tongues is that sign.
Acts 10:44-46
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues. and magnify God.
When you seek the Holy Ghost, you must be praying out loud. You cannot speak in tongues if you are not speaking. Most people think their prayers or pray very quietly without making any sound. You must pray out loud.
Romans 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
Some people are confused about the gift of tongues and receiving the Holy Ghost with speaking in tongues. The gift of tongues is when someone will speak very loud in tongues all by them self when it is quiet. Then someone will give the interpretation afterwards. Not everyone will have the gift of tongues and interpretation, But everyone will speak in tongues when they receive the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:1-4
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Bible Study
Bible study is very important. You must take time to read and study the word of God. You need to ask the Pastor or someone from the church about getting involved in a home Bible study or a new convert's class right away. Do not wait, this is very important.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Many truly miss knowing the truth because they never study the word of God. There are people today who trust what others say more than looking into the scripture for them self. You must search the scriptures and read the word yourself.
Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Psalms 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, That thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Yes we must study the word! Just like the old saying "Never talk about politics an religion" the reason we fight over these two subjects is because there is little knowledge on either topic. Most people just believe the way Grandpa or Uncle George believes without ever studying for them self. The problem is we love Grandpa and Uncle George so we trust what they say instead of learning for our own knowledge.
Study thy word, there can be found the greatest truths you will ever know!
This could be one of the most important things you learn as a new Christian. You must learn to pray. Prayer guides are the best way to learn how to pray as well as attending the prayer meetings at your local church. Many people fail to learn how to pray, the Apostles even asked Jesus to teach them to pray!
Luke 11:1
And it came to pass, that, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught His disciples.
2 Chronicles 7:17
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicket ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
To pray is to communicate with God. We need to develop a prayer communication with our savior as soon as possible. Pray often. Set aside time to pray and talk to God even if you are just learning. Just talk to Him like a friend. I assure you He is listening and He answers your prayers!
Fasting is something that is very important in your new walk with God. Most people lack in fasting because it can be very hard. The important thing to remember is when we fast, we are getting our flesh or our humanity under subjection to God.
Mark 14:38
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation, The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Daniel 9:3
And i set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes
Isaiah 58:6
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
During our time of fasting, God can deal with our true heart without our flesh getting in the way!
You will want to try and fast at least once a month. Talk to your Pastor about different types of fasting.
Faithfulness to Church
Being faithful to the House of God can be one of the hardest challenges you will face. Many people have a false belief that we do not need to go to church to be saved. Many make excuses why they cannot make it to every service and eventually find after missing a few services that they are back doing the old things they used to do.
The scripture is very clear on this subject.
Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is ; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
This scripture os saying do not stay home when the church is meeting together for a service or function!
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
We come to church to hear preaching and when we do it builds faith in us. Do you know what happens when we do not go and hear the word so we have faith?
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Yes we need to hear the word so we can have faith, because as the scripture says it's impossible to please Him (God) without it!
Romans 10:14
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Be faithful to each service, we need the fellowship, the preaching, and the faith it brings!
Giving is a very important part of living for God. The devil has allowed many men to do wrong and take advantage of people who have given. There are very dishonest people even who claim to be ministers or TV Evangelists. We must be careful in our giving that we do not cast our pearls before the swine.You are safe to give to the house of God where you attend. The Bible is clear on the blessings of those who give. We do not want to rob God or our self of the blessing we receive from giving.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; goo measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
We owe God one tenth of our increase. Each person should give back in tithes one tenth of their increase. Tithing is already God's, we owe that back to Him, we are blessed the most on what we give over our ten percent. So if you make one hundred dollars, you owe God ten dollars. And if you want to be blessed you should give ten dollars plus what ever you feel is a good offering unto God over that. We should be very careful that we do not try and cheat or rob God in our giving. Never worry about what the church is doing with your offering. If the church would do wrong with your giving then they would be in danger of the wrath of God. We must never give with a bad attitude.
Malachi 3:8
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
We must also give in our time, try and give God as much of your time as possible. He will reward you!
The first thing most new born Christians want to do is tell others about what has happened in their lives! God has done a great work and saved you from the lake of fire and Hell. It is natural that you would want to tell people of what God has done. We must never stop telling people our testimony. In the Bible, there are two ways to defeat the devil. One is by the blood of the Lamb. When we are baptized in Jesus name the blood of the Lamb is applied in our life defeating the enemy! That is why the devil gets people to be baptized repeating the words Father, Son and Holy Ghost because the name of Jesus and the blood cannot be applied that way therefore never affecting him. But when the name of Jesus is called over us the blood of the Lamb is applied! The other way we defeat the enemy is by our testimony!
Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they love not their lives unto the death
That's why the devil is always keeping us quiet from telling others what has happened in our life and also from witnessing! The Bible is clear, we shall become witnesses!
Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the Earth.
We are also warned that we must witness and warn people of the dangers of hell!
Ezekiel 3:18
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou gives him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
The scripture teaches us that he that wins souls is wise, what does that make he that does not win souls?
Holiness & Separation
Your life as a new Christian should change you from the inside out. You will learn to walk in a different light. The old things you used to thing were important will change. You will begin to think on spiritual things. You will also want to live your life different from the other people in the world. You will not want to look like the sinners and people in this world. You will want to live a life that is holy and separate from the old life and sin. Some of the places you used to go will not be appropriate any more, you do not want to be around some of the old places where you used to be in sin. You also will want to dress more like a Christian, talk like a Christian and act like a Christian. You will want the light of Jesus to shine through you.
2 Corinthians 6:17
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
2 Corinthians 7:1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Do you mean what it says?
"Buyer to order appraisal within three business days."
Buyers don't order appraisals, lenders do. Buyers don't necessarily control when the lender orders the appraisal. If you are the selling agent, do your clients really want the seller to terminate the transaction because the appraisal wasn't ordered in the first three business days? And, if you are the listing agent, are you asking for proof that the appraisal was ordered? If not, why include the term in the first place? You won't be able to terminate the contract if, two weeks into the escrow period, you find out the appraisal wasn't ordered until the 7th day.
If you want to communicate the need to order the appraisal early due to the current appraisal delays, say this instead: Buyer will make every reasonable effort to cause the lender to order the appraisal of the property within three business days.
Your buyer can do this.
