In the 1950's and early `60's as I was teaching classes in Personal Evangelism, I remember spending some time on "How to change the light bulb in the projector." There were also a few minutes of serious instruction on making sure not to put the projector in the case backwards, or with the front elevation screw extended, for one would split the hinges off the case if the teacher tried to close it that way.
Then later, when we began to use an open Bible study more extensively, we would give counsel in the advisability of trying to get seated around a table. Never, except as a last resort, sit down in the living room, lean back, cross your legs and begin discussing religious matters! I even felt it necessary to warn some of my students in training–after CERTS became available–that they would probably do well to carry a roll or two, using them at appropriate times.
Even now I am not ridiculing those things. They all may be important in their place. If you could sit down with the men who have done the most in teaching and inspiring personal evangelism, they could spend hours giving you little clues as to how you could be more effective personal evangelists in all sorts of things, from how you should approach and knock on the door to how and when you should stop the study and leave. In most cases they did not learn these things from each other or from books, but "in the field" as we put it. And many of these things, insignificant as they may seem, may make the difference in whether or not you baptize your student at the end of a particular lesson. Far be it from me to minimize the importance of doing everything we can to sharpen our spiritual swords and be more effective in the task that confronts us!
But I have noticed some trends and/or attitudes that disturb me. Most of us who spend our lives in this business of teaching believe that Jesus is the MASTER TEACHER, and it is our business to strive to teach in such a way that, as Paul puts it in Galatians 4:19, "Christ be formed in you." We are surely not laboring under the delusion that Jesus was giving His Apostles a three year graduate course leading to a Ph. D. in "Closing theSale"!
Both the primary purpose and methods of Jesus in His intensive training course are suggested in several places in the New Testament. In Acts 4:13, we are told that "They took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus." What was happening as they were with Jesus? Were they primarily concerned about learning the techniques of "The Approach, the Discussion and the Closing"? Were they learning the best ways to exercise effective crowd control so they could feed 5000 effectively if the need arose? Were they learning the value of "the dramatic pause" demonstrated by stooping down and writing on the ground before delivering the "coup de grace"? The fact is that they may have learned a lot about things like that, and used the principles as opportunity offered. But the primary thing they were absorbing was "the mind of Christ" — simply seeing how he felt, thought, reacted to whatever situation confronted him so they would naturally do the same kind of thing. When Paul said, I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me –" (Galatians2:20), He was not expressing what He learned about the "plan of salvation" from Ananias.
Most of us have assumed that the proper place to start with a person who needs salvation is in the book of Acts. Does not the Book of Acts tell men in clear terms the answer to one of the most important questions a man ever asked? It most certainly does. But it does not in any of the cases of conversion tell specifically what the sinners were told in addition to that point. Note carefully: In Acts 2:36 they were convinced that Jesus was Lord and Christ, without which conviction the answer of verse 38 would have been without value! Verse 40 says, "And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, `Save yourselves from this untoward generation'". What those exact "other words" were, we do not know. In Acts 8:35, Philip "preached unto him Jesus." In verse 12 we are told that Philip was "preaching the things concerning thekingdomofGod, and the name of Jesus Christ." In Acts 16:32, they "spake unto him the word of the Lord."
Do you get this very important distinction I am trying to make at this time? There is a difference in preaching the fact that Philip and Paul preached Jesus and in preaching the Jesus they preached! I do not mean to imply that it is not right and proper to teach the fact that Philip taught the Ethiopian about Jesus and then was asked the significant question in verse 36, "See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?" And it is good to point out the important fact that when Jesus is properly preached, the proper response will always be the desire to be baptized on the part of those who hear. But it is not right and proper to assume that the power of the gospel is fully exercised when we merely preach the story of Philip preaching Jesus rather than preaching Jesus ourselves!
I expect to continue telling the story of the conversions in the Book of Acts, and I trust that my readers will do likewise. But I hope the writing and reading of this article will help each of us to be more conscious that the center of New Testament Christianity is NOT the story of conversions, or why we should not use instrumental music in worship (although I strongly suspect that most congregations today need some good preaching on that subject too), but Jesus Christ and Him crucified!
This article has been written while sitting in the hallway of a medical clinic waiting for the results of some tests for a severe ear infection which has kept me in bed for most of two weeks. It may not, therefore, make as good sense as if I were in more normal surroundings. But my primary point is this: In teaching persons how to become Christians, and in teaching them to be more effective as personal or impersonal evangelists, we do a great disservice to them if we stray very far very long from the central theme of Paul as expressed in 1 Corinthians 2:2, "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and Him crucified."
The good news of the gracious redeeming love of Christ with emphasis from first to last to "Have this mind in you which was in Christ Jesus"(Philippians 2:5) must be in the foreground and center. Only when a person responds to the reality of that love and wants to know what God wants, should we who are active in personal evangelism begin to deal with the specific "steps" in the plan of salvation! Do you get the importance of that? If the steps are presented or understood merely as "steps in a plan" rather than specific meaningful responses to the Lordship and redeeming love of Christ, we have lost most of the battle. This is, no doubt, part of what Paul meant when he spoke of "having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof" (2 Timothy 3:5). Surely the power is released in these ways: 1. By so absorbing the life, nature, attitude and responses of Christ that you almost automatically respond in a Christlike way to any life situation, and 2. Reproducing this response in those you teach.
Note, in closing, a very important fact. Although we are representatives of Christ, and thus, in that sense, stand in the place of Christ to those whom we teach, we are not to teach in such a way as to reproduce our life in the life of our students. Making clones is not our business. It is true that to the extent that my life reflects the life of Christ, and the student sees specific things in my life that help him to be more Christlike, his life will be similar to mine. Yet you should note a very important point. If my life is like Christ and your life is like Christ, your life will be like mine (or mine will be like yours) because we have the same pattern, Christ. But if your life is like mine because I am your pattern, we fall into a fatal error in philosophy and procedure.
So, in conclusion, each of us should teach in personal evangelism and in all Bible classes with primary emphasis on the life, nature, mind, and work of Christ and not with primary emphasis on methods, techniques, procedures, or plans. If we do less than attempt to reproduce Christ in the lives of ourselves and our converts, we fail!

Dubai Sports Gate offers information and services
on all sports activities in Dubai
Dubai unveils interactive sports platform
DUBAI, July 10, 2018
Dubai Sports Council (DSC) has introduced an interactive portal that serves as a guide to all sports events which take place in the Emirate aiming to develop the sports sector under the umbrella of the Dubai 10X initiative.
The Dubai Sports Gate initiative is part of 26 initiatives submitted by 24 government agencies in Dubai, which were approved by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF). A panel of experts reviewed more than 160 ideas submitted by 36 parties for implementation in less than 365 days.
Saeed Hareb, secretary general of Dubai Sports Council, said: "Dubai is attracting many international sports events, the sports scene in the emirate became very active. The "Gate" is a platform where all sports events are listed with full schedule. Users can book any sports facility; in addition, international users can also book transportation and accommodation through the Gate."
"The project will encourage people to be more active and adopt a healthier lifestyle, the Gate or the application will allow users to register and participate in any event. It also enables them to watch championships that take place in Dubai and provide them with updated information about service providers and specialised stores that sell sports equipment," added Hareb.
The implementation of the project is set to take between 18-24 months. Dubai Sports Centre has already developed a comprehensive project plan to implement the Dubai Sports Gate project in partnership with many related entities.
Hareb added: "The Dubai 10X initiative has helped us make great strides. Dubai has always pioneered changes, and has a strong track record of innovative projects. Our Dubai 10X project provides real opportunities to set new and innovative standards in the sports industry." – TradeArabia News Service

He caught my eye last night as I passed by. A man from Rough Edges asked me not to quote him, but it is already too late. I just quoted him. On my own epitaph, I want the words ''don't quote me'' written over whatever gravestone, vase of ashes or plaque in an astroturfed field of memorial plates outside Macquarie Park, or carved on a park bench in Hyde Park. Let's face it, whatever remains of our lives after death is like skywriting on a windy day.
These maudlin thoughts were in stark contrast to an astonishing week of absolute immersion in a sea of colours, installations, sculptures and sacred beautiful objects that all too briefly inhabited the majestic Carriageworks in Eveleigh during the new Sydney Contemporary art fair.
The opening night brought the most beautiful people I have ever seen gathered in one place, including the Sunbury festival in 1978 - exotic, erotic, amazing creatures passing in the corridors between the most exciting and thought-provoking works of art ever assembled in an open display. It was akin to a World's Fair, where art was the trade and trade was an art. The dealers and wheelers were artful mimes and entertainers in their own right, not resembling, in the least, the barkers and urgers of the past. The buzz inside Carriageworks was electric.
We lucky few in my group felt like we were going to burst in joyful exhilaration when seeing what was in front of us, besides us, and the huge, impossible task of taking in the endless galleries and displays that lay like an adult Disneyland ahead.
Our eyes and ears gorged on sights and sounds and the intense, almost psychedelic atmosphere around us. The senses could not take it all in in a thousand days. Each gallery had phenomena hidden between outstanding works. A New Zealand stand, Robert Heald, had a pure-silver pewter snake on a small dais, with its tail clenched in its beautiful jade-eyed mouth and head. Almost a throwaway. Portraits by Sally Ross, one titled I Am Not Thinking about You, oil on wood, which I would have purchased with one arm if the Murray White Room took 60-year-old arms.
A wall of thick coloured oil and charcoal on canvas by Shin Kwang Ho took the eye away from its socket like a shucked oyster. I genuflected in front of a wonderful proud painting by Paul Ryan, a black-haired wild colonial boy in gold-crested full dress, but looking as modern as a black-bearded Ryan Gosling.
Exhaustion forbade full inspection; the experience was like being a rock star falling into a mosh pit and being held aloft by a floating sea of hands, being passed slowly across the auditorium, while all enjoyed the elevation of common human creative endeavour and experience. The night was a triumph. We got a ride back to town by a homeless man who brought his car. Another miracle.
My energy supplier had shut off my electricity by mistake. For two long nights I lived by matches, fire starters and cigarette lighters. I cannot sleep without reading.
On the second night of darkness, I was down to a ceremonial two-wick glass candle given by people on birthdays that signify nothing. I lit another in the kitchen with a long stick match that burst into flames like an oil rig out of control. It provided a weird red light. In the bedroom, the two-wick scented candle was dangerously close to the oil gathering at the bottom. The smoke from both was intense. I was alone and falling asleep, and decided to pour Evian onto the kitchen candle. It crackled into volcanic splutter like the sun, little blue spurs flew everywhere and the smoke alarm went off like an air-raid siren.
I am so hopeless domestically that I was relying on the charger plugged into the socket to recharge my dead phone, forgetting, of course, there was no electricity. I struggle with my bachelor life. More Evian was needed and, as I poured the contents into the boiling red jar of candle wax, a loud boom cracked from my bedroom. The twin-flared candle exploded at exactly the same time as I poured the Evian, in some form of disharmonic convergence. I ran into the bedroom.
Glass shards lay like shell splinters by the bed, the molten wax of the candle barely below the cracked jar, threatening to spill over on to the floor. I removed the large pieces, laid two towels over the unseen broken beads and fell into bed with a mental note to get out of it on the other side during the night if I needed.
The morning revealed that I have no sense of direction when peeing into the bowl in the dark. I showered, dressed quickly, and called the Vietnamese couple who clean with Ghostbuster-style vacuums on their backs to come during the day to clean up the remnants of what must have looked like a Satanic ritual - without an orgy, I'm afraid.
It was a weird, wonderful week, a puzzling night whose meaning is not exactly clear, but don't quote me.

general information
Explorer Canoe Safaris are semi-participatory – meaning camps are not already set up for your arrival and that everyone helps to put up tents each evening.
Tents supplied are very easy to set up, two-man, dome tents.
These safaris are self-contained – meaning all equipment and food is carried in the canoes and there is no vehicle back up.
We take a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 8 people (special arrangements can be made for larger groups upon request).
Our minimum age limit for canoe safaris is 14 years – there is no maximum age limit but sound judgement should be used.
No previous canoeing experience is necessary but guests are required to be
reasonably fit and healthy.
The maximum luggage limit per client to take on the river is 10 kgs. A luggage room and safe facilities are provided for any extra luggage at the Kariba office.
Animals seen on the trip usually include elephant, buffalo, impala, waterbuck, hippo, crocodile and plentiful birdlife. Lion, leopard, painted hunting dog etc. are more rarely seen but are certainly in the area. We cannot guarantee plenty of game while on safari, particularly during the green (rainy) season.
Our semi-participatory Explorer Canoe Safari options begin and end in Kariba (unless by other arrangement) and we recommend clients spend the night prior to their safari's departure in Kariba town. We can assist with booking this accommodation. Safaris depart from our offices in Kariba, clients can self-drive
there or, be picked up by us from their various hotels at 7:30am. Once at the office, clients may arrange for excess luggage and valuables to be locked away safely until their return. (We do not recommend taking passports or
valuables on the river). A short briefing will then be given to help clients understand what the trip entails and any questions will be answered.
A shopping trip follows to allow the purchase of any additional groceries or personal items required, as well to purchase particular drinks clients may want. Clients will then be driven to the starting point of their safari.
daily routine
Generally the day starts with tea/coffee and biscuits at sunrise. Camp is then packed up and the party sets off. Early mornings make for easy paddling as the wind is calm and it is not yet too hot. A stop will be made for breakfast, usually after a couple of hours. The trip continues after breakfast, until breaking for a light lunch and siesta to avoid the midday heat. The night stop is reached at approximately 5pm and the camp is unpacked and setup. Campsites are typically set up on islands and all sites are designated by National Parks.
There are no ablution facilities on these safaris. Clients are provided with a spade, toilet paper and matches – with which to burn the toilet paper. Bathing is done from a bucket using water scooped out of the river.
backup status�
Explorer Safaris are self-contained. All equipment and food is carried in the canoes and there is no vehicle back-up apart from drop-off and pick-up. As these safaris are semi-participatory, clients are required to help up setup tents and to assist the guide with the cooking and washing up.
equipment supplied
All camping equipment is supplied. This includes gas stoves, kitchen utensils, pots and pans, plastic plates, mugs, tables, stools, camping mattresses, sleeping bags and liners, candles, matches, cooler boxes and dome tents.

Thickening agents, or thickeners, is the term applied to substances which increase the viscosity of a solution or liquid/solid mixture without substantially modifying its other properties; although most frequently applied to foods where the target property is taste, the term also is applicable to paints, inks, explosives, etc. Thickeners may also improve the suspension of other ingredients or emulsions which increases the stability of the product. Thickening agents are often regulated as food additives and as cosmetics and personal hygiene product ingredients. Some thickening agents are gelling agents (gellants), forming a gel, dissolving in the liquid phase as a colloid mixture that forms a weakly cohesive internal structure. Others act as mechanical thixotropic additives with discrete particles adhering or interlocking to resist strain.

Hi Sophie, Just a quick message to say thank you for all the help your tutors have given V. over the last couple of years. She achieved A*AB at A level and is off to XX University in two weeks to read Classics & Philosophy. Your company has been a great help to V. - GCSE A* in Chemistry etc - your tutors have been fantastic. Eva in Latin - just brilliant!
Catherine, September 2017
I am writing in support of an organisation I have used extensively for Modern Language tuition at school over the last seven years. Voulez-vous parler, run by Sophie Marette, has helped myself as both Head of Year and the Lead Teacher for Gifted and Talented to support, enrich and extend the interest, progress and performance of students ranging from 13 - 18 years with Key stage 3, 4 and 5 in French, Italian and Greek. The latter two languages have been taken up by a number of students as a new subject and I have been genuinely impressed with the patient and professional expertise that has been exhibited by a range of tutors to these beginner students.
I use the exceptional French tutors that are supplied by Sophie to drive the attainment levels of capable students who lack technique, confidence and vocabulary in the subject. The services provided have also allowed the school to increase its uptake of languages at both GCSE and A level. The tuition complements the learning in lessons admirably. The tutors exude a 'love of the linguistic' passing this on to the students with a real enthusiasm and passion for their language. I continue to be impressed by the efficient and professional way in which Sophie co-ordinates the provision and services that the school uses Voulez-vous parler. Our school uses the services for approximately 25 hours each month and find it very good value for money.
Anthony Moloney, Head of Year/Lead Teacher for Gifted and talented, Barking Abbey School, July 2017
'We are very pleased with the efficient and helpful manner which Sophie dealt with our enquiry and requests, meeting our expectations very well.
We are also very pleased with the tutor provided by Voulez-vous parler as my daughter is progressing very well as a result'.
Kevin Delaney, Catford, March 2012
"As promised, a quick note to say how impressed we were with the help you gave our son in preparing for his French oral GCSE. You were able to come to give a lesson at very short notice (just a couple of days) and were always very punctual for lessons. Our son found you gave him a lot of confidence in preparing for his oral and your advice was very clear. I would thoroughly recommend your lessons".
Janet Kerr, South Croydon, March 2009
"I have been working with Sophie on my French language skills for nearly a year with excellent results. Sophie has a strong focus on the person's individual skills and style; she is working with great enthusiasm and motivation.
Without a doubt, Sophie's language teaching skills are on a very high level and I can certainly recommend working with her."
Martin L, London, March 2009
The boys adore Evi. And she is so energetic and so much fun that they really don't consider it to be a 'boring' lesson ... They both count to 10 with ease and Panos up to 30, they are getting good with colours and every week we look at a different topic (fruit/sport etc etc) which helps their vocabulary in areas that they can easily relate to.
Very very pleased with Evi. Thanks so much for arranging the lessons.

Where I Stand:
A Liberal Apology
by George Cassutto on Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 9:41am
Dear Readers,
I have found your recent exchange enlightening to say the least. I suppose the discussion has reached a critical mass to the point where my opinion on the issue of the US presidential race has been solicited. I choose to participate now not with the intention of changing hearts and minds, but rather, to enlighten each of you as to my reasoning for supporting Barack Obama. Hopefully, after reading this, my views will be less of a mystery, and I hope my own personal ideological approach will make sense to you, although you are free to disagree with it.
First let me identify my party affiliation. I am a registered Democrat because I believe that the government has a responsibility to "promote the general welfare," to invoke the Preamble to the Constitution. Since we are all taxpayers, the government has a responsibility to use those tax dollars to seek the best policy for the common good. Since men are not angels, as Madison said, government must sometimes intervene in the markets and in the affairs of human activity, including economic policy. As we saw during the Great Depression, the US government had to take bold regulatory steps to stimulate the economy, regulate it, and raise the standard of living for all. The capitalist system was left intact, but the size of government expanded as did the breadth of its services. We emerged a nation closer to socialism, but millions were raised out of poverty. Our freedom was left whole, but programs such as social security and FDIC were also developed to act as a social safety net. The Great Society programs of LBJ expanded the New Deal into a near welfare state, but again, these programs were needed to reach into the pockets of urban poverty in our cities and in our rural communities. So, call me a liberal. I wear the term as proudly, in that I support gradual social change, including government intervention, for the betterment of society. I denounce social intervention in the areas of reproductive rights and gay rights because I believe freedom should extend to ones sexual mores and that gays should be treated with equity under the 14th Amendment. Whether their activities are "sinful" should not interfere with their right to be treated fairly.
So here we are. Under Clinton, his immorality with Monica notwithstanding, America emerged from the 1990s with three consecutive years of government surplus, the lowest crime rate in decades, reduction of welfare recipients, and a nation essentially at peace militarily. When Gore lost in the electoral college (receiving a majority of the popular vote in 2000), eight years of disaster befell the nation. 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, the slow response to Katrina, the Stock Market Crash of 2008, and the credit crunch brought about by deregulation of the banking and mortgage industries have been the result of eight years of what is ostensibly the worst presidency in American history, equaling the depth of Nixon. These events have led to an erosion of our civil rights under the constitution, torture of alleged terrorists, and a degradation of American power and prestige globally, not to mention a federal deficit growing exponentially by the second.
I was originally a supporter of Hillary Clinton, but she and Obama are almost identical ideologically. The difference may have been in style or experience, but that's water under the bridge. He is the standard bearer of the party with which I agree ideologically. Moreover, I do not believe one word of the smear campaign regarding his religion or ethnic background. I have studied and read about his spiritual journey, and he confesses to be a Christian, and I take him at his word. And even if he were a Muslim, that would not enter into my decision to support him because doing so would amount to bigotry and prejudice that my parents fought very hard to teach us not to engage. If we say we believe in freedom of religion then it must extend to our political candidates too, and unless he wanted to wage jihad against America, he can be a Muslim if he wants. It just so happens that he is a member of the denomination called the United Church of Christ (UCC). So he passes the religious litmus test in my mind.
I am a school teacher now in my 25th year. I have seen the Reagan budget cuts of the 1980s gut school budgets, retard teacher salaries, and keep states from increasing their per pupil expenditures. With our contracting economy, draconian cuts are looming for state budgets nationwide. Obama counts education as one of his top three priorities, and this will lead to investment in education that will stimulate American productivity and competitiveness. Government support of education helps me twice -- in my job and in my income. Obama also plans to cut taxes for the middle class because he knows we are struggling. He was one of us up to 2004! He taught Constitutional Law -- a profession that puts him squarely in the middle class -- not an oil baron like Bush and Cheney. Obama talks sensibly about the "kitchen table" issues I face every day, and he outlines in concrete steps how he will improve my quality of living. That is more than I can say for the Republican power base, which has led America into the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression, and whose solution is tax cuts for the wealthy. This just does not make common sense to me.
Well, there you have it. I will press the button for Obama, and hopefully, with a Democratic Congress, the politicians in Washington will act on behalf of "We The People" with the common person in mind rather than the business class or the upper crust of society on the belief that it is the wealthy that make up the engine of our economy. You can see where that engine has taken us, and the global economy, as a result. Time for a change.
Best wishes,
George Cassutto

RVRDA Projects Submission
The SLRVRA has moved closer to collecting information from the public on projects that may be assisted by their programs.
Until its own website is fully functional, potential applicants and visitors to www.slrvra.com will be temporarily redirected to a SLRVRA page housed on the IDA's Local Devleopment Corporation Website. By visiting www.slrvra.com and clicking on the questionnaire link, potential applicants will have an opportunity to provide information about themselves, their projects and the assistance which they are seeking.
The information provided will be collected by the St. Lawrence County IDA and the SLRVRA, and will be used to build a database of potential projects, initiatives and applicants. The SLRVRA is in the process of determining how to best utilize its resources and will use this site and questionnaire to gain a better understanding of the range of projects that are currently on the drawing board in the County.
SLRVRA Chairman Robert McNeil described the website and questionnaire as an early step toward putting the SLRVRA's resources to work in the region. "This is our way of reaching out and giving the public and potential partners a forum for getting their ideas and proposals to us in an orderly, efficient manner." McNeil added, "Whether a project is just about ready to go, or in the very early stages, we want to know. We want to see what is out there and find ways to creatively and proactively address the barriers that may be preventing projects from moving forward."

The proposals will refine the Pillar 2A (P2A) capital framework, and reduce the disparity in capital requirements between the Standardised Approach (SA), mainly used by smaller banks and building societies, and the Internal Ratings Based Approach (IRB).
It said: "The proposals should also contribute to the safety and soundness of firms by reducing incentives for SA lenders to specialise in higher loan-to-value mortgages."
This follows a commitment made in the PRA's Annual Competition Report 2016 to address the difference between in risk weights between firms using the standardised approach and firms that use their own models.
The changes mean PRA supervisors will be able to use updated IRB credit risk benchmarks and take in a far broader set of factors when setting P2A capital including balance sheet risks and overall business model.
The PRA also proposes to use the new approach to stave off potential double counting of expected credit losses for SA firms under the new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 which will apply from 1 January 2018.
Sam Woods, deputy governor for Prudential Regulation, said: "This consultation is a major step forward for the PRA in facilitating effective competition, reducing capital requirements for eligible small firms. This will be good for competition and for safety and soundness."
Economic secretary, Simon Kirby, said: "The Prudential Regulation Authority's consultation is a positive step in closing the gap between challengers and the big banks. We are determined to put competition at the heart of our financial services so that the sector can truly deliver for consumers and businesses across the UK."

San Diego Flood Awareness 101: Top Causes
Floods? In San Diego?
You bet.
Despite our on-going drought, we know this winter we'll be helping families deal with flooding in their homes and businesses. The biggest causes of local floods are heavy rains, water heater leaks, new home or landscape construction and lawn drain blockage. If water has already soaked your carpet and flooring, skip right to our post "Fast First Steps toTake after a Flood."
Heavy rains: Our low-lying areas like Coronado, Mission Valley and Mission Beach are prone to flooding. Even though home owners in these areas are aware of this fact and take precautions, unforeseen circumstances like a blocked drain in the yard or change in landscaping can channel water into homes and garages.
Water Heater Leaks: Expert San Diego plumbers for more than 30 years, we beg our clients to examine their water heaters regularly and flush them at least once a year. While a tank water heater can last for 12 – 15 years, many people push them to 20. Each extra year is an extra gamble. When a water heater spills 50 to 80 gallons of water into your garage, it can cause $1,000 worth of damage or more, erasing the cost savings of the extra year or two you got out of it.
New Home Construction/ New Landscaping: Our local contractors do their best to grade yards, cement patios, porches, embankments and more so any rain runs AWAY from the home rather than toward it. Still, every year, even with a modest amount of rain, rooms edging a patio fill with water.
Lawn Drain Blockage: Our lack of rain over the past three years has lead to blocked lawn drains. Leaves, mud and more builds up and builds up, invisible to homeowners until a rain. Soon the lawn turns into a pond and that pond inches ever close to the home. Our last post, "San Diego Plumbers Prepare for Rainy Season," we covered how on local meteorologist believes San Diego could finally get some decent rain this winter.
Perry Plumbing is happy to come out to check your lawn drainage system and even your entire plumbing system so you can rest easy this winter. Feel free to call us to schedule a free onsite inspection and estimate. Our frequent plumbing service coupons and specials help our clients save! Take a minute to read our 5-star reviews on Yelp! and Google Plus. Our satisfied clients let us know how we are doing!

The difficulty of this challenge is — which purple? I try to have as much as possible.
We recently painted the entire interior of our house peach (or "circus peanut," as I prefer to think of it). But as the famous local dead guy says, "I cannot live without books," I cannot live without purple, so I painted these three separate blobs on the dining room wall, beneath some terribly serious paintings. (And yes, the blobs are a permanent feature of the room. At least, permanent by my definition of that word.)
Thanks to Vladimir at Wind Against the Current for posting his purple picture; otherwise I might have missed a plum opportunity (aargh!) for a slam dunk project.

Pictures don't lie, they say, and of course that's not true. They can be taken out of context, they can be altered, and it's always, ultimately, as easy to misread body language in a picture or a video as it is in real life, and it's frequently done in real life.
Nevertheless, I think I'm on fairly safe ground when I say that something's up with Melania Trump. There's this incident: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/rome-melania-refuses-hold-president-trump-hand-article-1.3189303
That was in Rome, and if you focus on that one frame, that one split second, where Donald reaches to take her hand, a natural, husbandly gesture while getting off the plane and walking down the stairs. (What's with that, anyway? Ordinary people have been walking from plane directly to airport on jetways since the 1960s) and she pulled her hand away. She played it off like she was brushing her hair back, but look at that second. As soon as his hand brushed hers, or as soon as it was in close enough proximity to trip her sensors, her hand pulled back as if she'd just touched an electric fence. Recoiled is far too tame a word.
Same thing happened a couple of days ago, at a different international airport. There, there was actually a swat, as if of a mildly irritating bug.
Both of them indicated less than a loving marriage, but in a very different way than the video that went sort of viral after the inauguration, when Donald turned to her, said something, and the smile dropped from her face and her head went down. That was submission, that was fear, and that was resentment.
These two incidents were more like "Don't touch me, you fat pig, and don't you even think about sleeping with me." I could be wrong, I do not completely understand the motives of the rich and famous, but it seems to me something has changed, and Melania now has the upper hand.
Maybe she senses her husband's imminent demise, and is starting to think about how much she'll get as ex-wife # 3. Maybe she's just decided she's taken enough of his crap, and isn't putting up with it anymore. Maybe she found out that the pee tape is real and is totally grossed out that he's into that kind of thing. Maybe(oh, I hope this is true, even though I just made it up) she's co-operating with the investigation. Hoo boy, wouldn't that be a kick in the crotch for old Cheeto Head.
I don't know. Watch the tapes, and see what you think.

OK, I'm not completely serious, however, since I learned to improvise early in my musical development, I have been known to slightly rewrite a recapitulation or two, but only when playing from memory.
This brings me to an interesting article I read today. As I'm preparing for another year of teaching piano, I'm looking for ways to revitalize my studio and provide maximum benefits for my students. It's time to shake things up!
In my research, I ran across this article by Edward Weiss.
Do piano teachers have it backwards? They do if they start with the note-reading approach. Most would agree that music is a language. Language is learned first by speaking it. Yet this simple logic eludes many well meaning music teachers as they head first into the study of note-reading.
But just imagine if children learned how to speak the language of music before learning how to read and write it? Imagine the connection, the innate sense of 'wiring' for lack of a better word that can occur if we introduce kids to simple diatonic harmony and improvisation first.
Speaking the native language is a natural and thrilling experience for children. They can't wait to use words and communicate. So why is it that note reading is literally forced down the throats of our young people instead of giving them the opportunity to express firsthand through improvisation?
True enrichment comes from direct experience with the music. And this is best accomplished when children can actually create on their own without the aid of sheet music. Why this isn't being done more is a complete mystery to me.
Watch a child at the piano as they experiment with music firsthand and you will see a joy seldom seen via traditional piano lessons. They beam as music, their music is created before them. Just a few brief improvisation rules are introduced and the child can happily create.
In fact, not only is this route easier than note reading, it's also faster. As children become more comfortable playing and becoming adept at the piano, learning and progress also becomes an easy thing to do.
Edward Weiss is a pianist/composer and webmaster of Quiescence Music's online piano lessons. He has been helping students learn how to play piano in the New Age style for over 14 years and works with students in private, in groups, and now over the internet. Visit now and get a FREE piano lesson.

My first FULL week of school in awhile! Wow!
It was Read Across America Week, so we had things going on throughout the week in honor of Dr. Seuss and his birthday. On Monday, Kindergarten had a READ-A-THON in honor of Dr. Seuss where we read 100 books in 100 minutes. We usually do this on the 100th day of school, but we were snowed out this year, so we rescheduled for this week. It is always a lot of fun. You can read more about it here. On Wednesday, we celebrated World Read Aloud Day for the first time. From 8:30am – 11am, I invited readers to come to classrooms and read a book. Very easy and very quick. You can read about who came and what they read here. We had some Seussy Centers set up in the library that students could explore as they came to the library for checkout throughout the week. We had Seussville up on the computers; I made this cool "seek and find" that I discovered on this blog; and I had some directions for drawing The Cat in the Hat out with paper and crayons. We had a great week celebrating Dr. Seuss!
My Media Technology students started learning how to use Garageband on the iPad. The first lesson was just showing them the basics and then letting them explore. For the second lesson, I asked them to find a poem to record from a stack of poetry books I brought from the library. They chose a poem, recorded it, and then put music in the recording…either as an introduction to the poem or as background music. We will be finishing this up the next time we meet.
My USC students learned about graphic novels this week – I realized I never told you about my USC class LAST week, soooooo, last week they got a tour of Richland Library and learned about traditional literature (fairy tales, folktales, tall tales, etc.).
I mailed out the New Providence Elementary School Learning Commons March newsletter.
And, that was my week! How was your week?

Dear Parents and Carers
I am sorry that I have closed Holy Trinity Primary School today. I hope that our closure does not cause you and your family too much inconvenience.
I tried to get into school this morning but the minor roads were absolutely treacherous and even where they have been gritted, most roads have a covering of ice due to the freezing temperatures.
Mr Randall has been in school over the weekend to try and clear paths and walkways, as always he has done an amazing job in very difficult circumstances. However, due to the conditions, and the fact that it would be impossible for me to assemble anything like a full teaching staff today, I made the decision to close.
I know some schools made the decision to close yesterday on the back of the weather forecasts. I tend to avoid doing this because, as we all know, the weather forecasters can get it wrong!
We will do our very best to re-open tomorrow. I will make a decision in the morning and, with Mr Handy's help, the school website, Facebook and Twitter feeds will be updated promptly.
Keep warm and stay safe.
Best wishes,
Jon Smith

New Sketches
One of the the appeals of drawing is it can be simply an enjoyable, tangible thing with immediate results. So I have this preoccupation with Japanese fashion magazines, and find myself basing many sketches off the images that stand out to me. Sometimes these will evolve into more refined drawings or paintings, or just remain the way they are.
My Designs In Teen Vogue Magazine
I personally created the collage pattern that is on the purse graphic, as well as the leopard print pants. I handmade the original collage and created the pattern in Photoshop.The leopard print pants I first hand painted with acrylic for a more naturalistic feel, then scanned it in, and digitized it using Illustrator.

ECR Forum for Cooperation 2015
ECR FORUM FOR COOPERATION - the best conference for FMCG and DIY managers, organised annually by ECR Poland.
It's a real forum for exchange of knowledge, experience and best practice for representatives of manufacturers, distributors, retailers and service providers from area of logistics, marketing, e-commerce, IT.
In 2015 we are organising ECR FORUM FOR COOPERATION for the fifth time. This time under the title SMART VALUE CHAINS FOR SMART SHOPPERS!
Previous editions of our conference proved, that this event is based on two strong pillars: (1) great programme with speakers and presentations at the highest level, as well as (2) the excellent audience, with CEO's and managers of the biggest and most important companies form FMCG industry among the participants. Such mixture creates the perfect atmosphere for expanding business contacts and strengthen relationships.
- Representation of the whole value chain - representatives of manufacturers, distributors, retailers and service providers together in one place, discussing about the benefits of good cooperation;
- The top management guaranteed - CEOs, board members, directors and managers share at the ECR Forum their experience;
- Networking opportunities - over 200 participants, a large marketplace, long coffee breaks and business mixer to complete the conference;
- Excellent programme - organisers ensure the highest level of speeches, without "sponsorship", promotional presentations and with carefully selected speakers; most actual topics, chosen by the managers of the most important FMCG companies in Poland;
- The only interdisciplinary conference in Poland - strategic sessions and parallel thematic sessions guarantee the participation of managers responsible for the management, development, supply chain, category management, marketing and sales. The diversity of issues can broaden horizons, help to find inspiration for the business' development;
- International inspirations – some case studies are derived from the other European ECR conferences;
- Minimum time, maximum benefits – it's the one-day conference, but very intense, what ensures the efficient investment of time.
What do the Leaders say about us?
The ECR Community brings retailers, suppliers, thought leaders and agencies together in a way that is quite constructive. Most conferences can be too heavy on thought leadership (...) but actually ECR conferences tend to focus a lot on business cases and things that actually work in the market, with real suppliers and real retailers. So I think one of the reasons the ECR conferences are popular (and they are globally, I go to lot's of them) is because that it really happens to walk away the day and use what you've learned that day in your business the next day.
Ken Hughes, CEO Glacier Consulting, Consumer & Shopper Behaviouralist, Forum 2014
Do najmocniejszych punktów Forum zaliczam jego stronę merytoryczną - wiele ciekawych, wizjonerskich prezentacji. Myślę, że konferencja ECR należy do najlepszych tego typu wydarzeń na temat supply chain.
Lucyna Zaborowska-Princ, SC Customers and Distribution Manager, Nivea Polska, Forum 2014
It's a great opportunity to bring retailers and FMCG companies and service providers together in one Forum to try to optimize solutions for the consumers. With that spread of people present, even the informal time is very valuable. The number of sessions and the number of the presentations and seminars are gonna really hit the spot!
Chris Hill, European Business Development Director, Sonoco Packaging Services, Forum 2013
It is for me a very efficient conference, because the presentations are very concrete and operational, answering to my needs. Man can always discover some very interesting projects. In ECR Forum we succeed to meet in the same place suppliers and retailers to discuss the new way of work together. It's perfect! It's really important to participate in the ECR Forum, because we are building the future together – suppliers and retailers. There is only one way for the future: this is this collaboration and cooperative movement.
Francois Mir, Directeur Supply Chain Organisation et Systemes, Carrefour Polska, Forum 2013
For sure we will be a part of it next year and I wish that a lot of companies are going to join us on this journey! It is very important, more than ever, that ECR is representative in the whole industry, because we need it, to shape the future!
Jean Charles Bondy, Prezes Zarządu, L'Oreal Polska, Forum 2013
ECR organisation is a great platform for networking, offering Polish retailers and manufacturers good opportunity to meet together not only once, during the annual conference but also several times during the year.
Forum for Cooperation is one of the most valuable FMCG top management conferences. It gives the chance to meet all important retailers and manufacturers and discuss about the evolution of the market.
However, within ECR, also the specialists are working together during the year on different projects and their work has been presented during the conference. It's a great opportunity for both sides – the manufacturers and retailers – to meet in small, very efficient workgroups and work in details on operational solutions that are adding value to the business.
Rafael Gasset, Prezes Zarządu, real,-, Forum 2012
Forum Współpracy organizowane przez ECR Polska wyrasta na jedną z najciekawszych i najbardziej inspirujących konferencji dla branży FMCG.
Zofia Kobielska, Fresh & Cool Market, 6/2012
ECR conference is an opportunity for me, as a representative of Nestle, the global manufacturer and distributor, to meet to exchange experience in a positive and constructive attitude. It is very important to use the ECR platform as a place of reflection and discussion between trade partners, and when I say partners I mean manufacturers and distributors. Forum for Cooperation is always a great inspiration to thinking about how to innovate and attract consumers for better consumption.
Pierre Detry, Prezes Zarządu Nestle Polska, Forum 2012

Which is hilarious 'cause too many men could say that about me. I guess what goes around comes around. It's not like this is a new story.
I can barely tolerate my headaches and tense-ness, though.

short story slam week 32, three word wednesday 451, and sunday whirl
Bluebell Books Twitter Club!
3WW Week No. 451
Wordle 222
when Lindsay enrolls at Softwear Colgate high school,
she did not expect Amelia to sit next to her,
often feeling uneasy about her womanly period,
and often she falls silent about Linsday's favor from a few boys
the end is sad
when Linsday transfers to Westmore High,
so that Amelia obtains some focused fame,
eventually, both women attend UW college at Washington state.
the ability to open one's mind and shift gears
when it is needed is essential,
thus, when autumn is in the air,
we expect the leaves to fall, and pumpkins to sell
seconds, minutes, hours, days, nights, weeks, months,
years, decades, century, and dynasty,
trees grow year prints called nian lun,
demons wear constomes when it comes to Halloween
the world seem placid, plain, and pirate to small kids,
a quirky mindset won't win prize for being sneaky,
don't call me blogging buddy
unless you enjoy your freedom touching the board of writing whirling, daily.

The fun holiday of the year!ReplyDelete
Bloggers are a strange group so intently focused on writing and making an impression to unknown people all over the world. Words alone measuring their worth in comments and acclamation and disapproval by silence. Writer's muses are tricky and play their own game of hide and seek but then reveal themselves laughing as you do too. My problem with 3WW tricky words is to turn them into love stories!ReplyDelete
a love story is needed by some,ReplyDelete
but maybe resented by others.
I love the way you work the pumpkins in.ReplyDelete
You had a good time here...I can tell!ReplyDelete
A unique piece that had me twirling this way and that quite delightfully!ReplyDelete

Katherine Kelly showed off her growing baby bump as she stepped out with her former Coronation Street co-stars to celebrate Peter Ecclestone's birthday.
Katherine, who is several months pregnant, sported a black dress, tights and heels, cradling her bump as she arrived at the venue in Manchester.
The 33-year-old walked hand in hand with her husband Ryan Clark as the couple joined fellow partygoers Lisa Riley, Samia Ghadie and Suranne Jones as well as the birthday boy's other half, Corrie star Anthony Cotton.
Model and actress Catherine Tyldesley also attended the special event, wearing a V-necked blue dress adorned with sequins and a glittering floral headpiece.
Barnsley-born Katherine said that she and her Australian husband Ryan were "overjoyed" to find out that they were expecting their first baby.
"We've always said that having a family is not something we wanted to plan," Katherine told ! shortly after announcing her pregnancy. "That it would happen when it was meant to happen. It just happened much quicker that we expected."
"It wasn't why we got married," added the Mr Selfridge star, in reference to her Las Vegas nuptials which took place less than a month earlier. "I would have been quite happy to have my child out of wedlock."
Katherine and digital analyst manager Ryan married in secret while on holiday in the US.
"The day was everything we hoped it would be – no fuss, low key, sunshine and just us!" said Katherine to ! "We'd been laughing and joking all day and then suddenly, everything seemed to stop and we tried to get the words "I do" out without becoming emotional wrecks.
"It was awesome. I'll never forget that moment for the rest of my life."

This week I went on a ride through Parsippany. I started near Reynolds Avenue on a side street off of Parsippany Avenue called Woodland Avenue. At the end of that street is a power plant and there is a nice trail through the place.
It goes all the way to N. Jefferson Road. On the ride I met the family that adopted this trail, they were trimming weeds and picking up trash along the trail. They seemed to have taken very good care of it. At the condo complex, the construction ruined the trail, it was all messed up and we had to walk our bikes. Once you got passed the first condo though the trail was mostly rideable. It goes to Route 10 after passing a few condos. The trail was very nice and the ride was enjoyable.

Food Adventures!
Ham & Cheese Croissant. The Ham slice is thicker than usual.
One fine Saturday morning, we decided to make our way to Little India for some lovely croissants. Mirabelle makes one of the best croissants I have ever eaten in my entire life. Unless I have a better one, I think I would go all the way for their croissants. First time we had a plain one, second time we had a chocolate chip one, and third time we finally had the ham and cheese. Votes for ham and cheese and the plain ones. The charcoal bun with custard and the blueberry cheese tart is ok.
Had a hot steaming bowl of an ordinary looking prawn noodles. After sipping the hot soup, I proceeded to eat the kway tiao. Excellent. It tastes much better than it looks. Peppery and robust, we sipped the life out of the bowl until it is dry. *snigger*
Had an onion masala thosai at Sri Kamala's with some teh tarik before heading down to Crys' place for some cheesecake baking and try her lovely Indian dishes.

TeaDot at Iluma
This was quite the refreshing change from the usual coffee that I crave for very so often. I was craving for their Matcha Latte the following day! The green tea taste does stand out although the drink could do with a bit more thicker. I had the Earl Grey Latte but I found myself drinking the Matcha Latter more. I'll return for more of their drinks. Thanks for the treat R! ;o)

Some lunch at SAFRA Yishun
I was craving for congee. Century egg congee to be exact. With a good sprinkling of pepper, this bowl was good till it lasted. The must order item for dim sum is always har gow for me. This shrimp dumpling was one of the better ones that I have tasted. Ended the meal with a decent durian roll. What a lovely day...

Hatched & Mortons
It was a good cause for celebration! With some happy thoughts in mind, we trudged on to Hatched located at Evans Lodge. I must say it was a good start as we strolled and enjoyed the quiet, atmospheric surroundings. Almost like a nature walk.
We started with a more unusual offering of beer which proved to be stronger than the usual ones. In a good way of course. In a place that serves brunch, I could not resist ordering a cappuccino with an extra shot.
The foie gras looked thick but it could do more with a better pan fry technique to make it more crisp and less chewy. I am guessing it might be duck liver. Truffle oil definitely helped in this dish. It is quite enjoyable to eat the toasted ciabatta with scrambled eggs, foie gras, drizzled with truffle oil. The idea for this place is good but perhaps they should select more quality ingredients to capture the attention of curious diners.
Le Rossini
Spoilt for choices, we went ahead with Burly Bendict and Le Rossini as intended. One thing I noticed was the lack of salt/seasoning they had for their sides of sauteed potatoes and caramelised onions. It was rendered tasteless. Same goes for the thin slice of corned "wagyu" beef for the Burly Benedict. Perhaps it explains why salt and pepper are needed in this instance.
Le Rossini
Mortons Steakhouse! What can I say? It was excellent! Definitely the best place for steak. Personalised services and menu apart, the food was of a totally different league of its own.
The onion loaf is the size of my head. It is that big. Lighting here proved to be difficult for me to take pictures so excuse the quality.
This has got to be the most umami bisque that I have complete with fresh lobster meat.
Best of the best. No words could describe this.
I swear I could eat this everyday.
I think it was a tenderloin. The best cut and taste I have ever eaten.
The texture of the souffle is so soft and fluffy I could have finished the giant portion by myself.
*Burp* It's been a great day. Absolutely lovely. Makes me wanna stretch both arms in the air and yelp a triumphant "Yatta!"
