Al Jones
Owner & Breeder
My name is Kerry Jones, I live in Wallkill New York on Pheasant Hollow Lane (hence the name of our kennel). I live in the beautiful Hudson Valley region with my husband, Al, of 35 years. We have 4 beautiful grown children who bless my life every day! Most of them live close by. Of course they all have a Boxer or 2. As you know the breed is infectious! You cannot imagine how thankful I am that my family has put up with me for all these years and our home filled with dogs throughout the years. Many who have slept in their beds.
Our home and boarding kennel, Affordable Grooming and Boarding, is situated on 60 beautiful wooded acres. Our property in the Hudson Valley area of New York state is nestled between Newburgh and Walkill, 60 miles north of New York City, right off of the NY state thruway at exit 17. Our land has been owned by our family for almost 100 years.
Our home and property is set up for the health and comfort of our dogs, who are, our constant companions and best friends. Our dogs have 3 fenced in acres to run and play and every one of them live in our home not in the kennel. They do occasionally like to drop-in to our kennel's store to shoplift yummy goodies off the shelves of the dog boutique!
When we decided to start breeding and showing our dogs, and after going to look at a few other breeders set ups, I knew I could not breed in the conventional way. I was thrown back by the conditions of some of the places that I visited and how some fellow breeders house their dogs ... Not ALL but many. And it was not for me. It absolutely broke my heart to see beautiful Boxers with hearts of gold, living in kennels or basements or in small crates and in sub-par conditions. I made a promise to myself, that every Boxer that I own or have bred, or had anything to do with would always be BEST IN HOME first and BEST IN SHOW second. All of the homes that we place our dogs in would be carefully screened before any dog that I have bred leaves the comfort of my home, knowing they are always welcome back to my home at any age, no questions asked. Our dogs do not live in kennels, each and every Boxer that lives with us is a part of our family. They sleep on our beds and share our home with us. I think they own the place more than we do, at least the bed, couch and recliners anyway. It is not unusual to have a paw in my ear while I'm sleeping and before I know it I'm falling off of my small spot on the bed while my dogs are sprawled out.
At this time we have 7 Boxers who live with us in our home. Not 1 of our dogs live in a kennel. We also have a live-in nanny for our dogs! She lives in an apartment in our home working full time to help with the care, maintenance of our dogs, and the whelping and caring of our babies. She also is a wonderful assistant to me, providing friendship and love to all who live in our home, to all of our dogs as well as to the many people who inquire about our dogs, and of course, she has Boxers in her bed too!
Our dogs are our best friends. They come in the car with us and are truly part of our family, every last one. They even snowbird with us to Florida in the winter. I have always vowed never to keep more Boxers then I can manage in my home because they do not deserve to be kennel dogs or live in cages. Each and every dog gets a fair amount of love and attention. Boxers are free loving spirits who deserve to run and play, not live in a jail cell. I have been blessed with many great dogs, great co-owners and puppy buyers who have made our lives and the lives of our dogs, great ones. They have enabled us to continue to breed and place our dogs in great forever homes.
Together our family has been breeding Boxers for 25 years. Working diligently to improve our own dogs as well as the Breed as a whole. Our breedings are selective and limited. We only breed our females 2 times, carefully, using the formula that Temperament-Health-and Conformation must be carefully screened prior to making any BREEDING decisions.
Proudly, after many years of hard work, we are now known as noted, reputable Boxer breeders throughout the world, not only as ethical breeders with integrity but for the contribution we have made to the excellence of the breed as well as the quality of our dogs. We are AKC '
Breeders of Merit
' and participate in AKC's '
Bred With H.E.A.R.T.
' program for the continued work on the health of our breed. I am proud to support the
American Boxer Charitable Foundation
who has raised thousands and thousands of dollars towards the health and research of the breed and its many health issues. I have had Boxers my entire life and grew up with them by my side, from the time I was born. My husband and Fran, my mother in-law (who is sadly now deceased), also had Boxers all of their lives. Fran was breeding and showing Boxers before I was even born. Combined, we had 75 years in the breed. When I look back I cannot remember a time that a Boxer was not part of my family or my memories.
Our youngest daughter, Allison, and I began showing dogs when she was 8 years old. Allison competed in Jr Handling , and won the honors of Top Boxer handler and Top Doberman handler, and competed and placed at Westminster. She shows most of the dogs we breed as well. She is now 28 and has owner-breeder handled and finished almost 50 Pheasant Hollow Boxers to their championships and Grand-championships since then. We campaigned and showed our first home bred, a Best in Show Specialty winner who became a Top 10 Boxer in the country. Allison is now a professional handler and is married to a fellow handler and Doberman breeder. Together they show dogs for a living (with much success I might add). I could not be prouder of them both as I am right now!
We continue to breed and show our dogs. Ali and Hernan live in Florida. Al and I live in NY three quarters the year and in Florida the other quarter. We manage to get together very often and continue our passion for breeding, showing, and enjoying every minute with our Boxers and the friends we have made through the breed. We always strive to breed healthy, beautiful, good tempered, long-lived Boxers. Making our priority the betterment of the breed we love so much, hoping in some way we will make a difference in the breed, particularly in the longevity and their very flawed health, as even with proper health clearances, on both parents and longevity in both lines a Boxer can still succumb before they've reached their prime of 1 in 5 of the most common health problems; Boxer cardio diseases, cancer, DM, JRD etc.
As my friends can tell you, I could talk all day about my dogs, about pedigrees, the standard, about issues that affect the breed and about how we can try to reverse the decline in the longevity of our breed, as it is my life's work to give back to the breed as much as it has given to me. Boxers are a special breed of dog! They are the world's best kept secret and most owners who have experienced their love would agree that once you own them (or they own you) you will never have another breed of dog. Every Boxer I have owned has taken a piece of my heart with them when they leave this world. Leaving my heart just a little more empty when they go, I will never get used to the heartache of losing one of my best friends. I only can hope there is a special place in Heaven where they all will wait to see me again.
BUT...In hind sight...If I could do it all over again...I would not change one thing. At ALL! Please take some time to enjoy the slide show of our Boxer's home and grounds and the way they live here with us. Read and learn about our philosophies in the link below and some of the facts about the breed, and know what to ask a breeder when looking for a puppy. Anytime you're in our neck of the woods you are welcome to come by to meet us, and the best friends we call our BOXERS and my life's work and passion. Without each and every one of them, I would not be the person I am today...They are…Who I Am.
Some of the accomplishments of Pheasant Hollow Boxers include:

- We have won the Bred By class at ABC (a very competitive and difficult class to win) at least 6 times. - One of my biggest thrills was winning Winners Bitch from the 6-9 puppy class and Reserve Winners Bitch with a litter sister at a pre-ABC Speciaity under the respected judge Mr. Bill Shelton, garnishing a 5 point major. I will not soon forget the feeling of that wonderful day.
- We have had top placements and wins at National and Regional shows including Award of Merits, Select Dogs, Best of Opposites, 6 Regional Winners Bitches, 3 Winners Dogs 2 Reserve Winners Bitches at our National and a magnitude of placing Boxers.
- 8 of our dogs can currently be seen as examples of outstanding breed type and head type on Boxer expert Judy Horton's educational site '
The World Wide Boxer
And we go on… Thank you...Please read on...Stay AWAY from BACK YARD BREEDERS AND PUPPY MILLS WHO ARE DESTROYING OUR BREED.

Last week, I had the opportunity to present at the Annual America's SBDC Conference in Nashville about the digital trends that are changing the commerce landscape and their potential impact on small businesses. Although digital commerce is not a new trend, the ways it is continually evolving consumer behavior can present both challenges and opportunities for small business owners. From virtual reality to voice activated assistants, I presented about how digital technology isn't just altering the way people shop but what commerce can mean. Mobile and desktop channels made the shopping journey less linear. Now, emerging platforms are poised to transform entirely the way consumers interact and transact with their merchants.
According to an IBM study on digital platforms and commerce, 80 percent of companies are implementing Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives, 70 percent are developing voice command services and 50 percent are exploring augmented or virtual reality.i These initiatives are especially appealing to millennials and affluent consumers in the U.S., two segments that quickly adopt innovative solutions that make their lives more convenient and seamless.

America Beware
What do devout Muslims believe? I am not an expert on Muslims or the Koran. It appears that neither the media nor the government is expert on these things either. Come to your own conclusions about whether terrorists are an extremist minority of Muslims who have twisted Muslim beliefs or if terrorists are the inevitable result of Muslim beliefs.
I have access to two differing English copies of the Muslim Holy book, the Koran. I do not know which translation is more accurate. I do not know why the numbering of some verses is different in each copy. I do not know why one translation refers to the verses as Surah and the other refers to the verses as Koran. There are many obvious contradictions in the Koran and in the lives and actions of Muslims. It is logical to me that contradictions in the Koran would produce contradictions in the lives of devout Muslims. I will quote from both copies and put the most relevant (to me) portions in bold.
Surah 2:256: There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah, he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. Koran 2:255: There shall be no compulsion in religion. True guidance is now distinct from error. He that renounces idol-worship and puts his faith in God shall grasp a firm handle that will never break. God hears all and knows all.
Surah 3:28: Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully, and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming. Koran 3:28: Let believers not make friends with infidels in preference to the faithful . . . he that does this has nothing to hope for from God . . . except in self-defence. God admonishes you to fear Him: for to Him you shall all return.
Surah 4:34: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property, the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them, surely Allah is High, Great. Koran 4:34: Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. God is high, supreme.
Surah 5:33-34: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement. Except those who repent before you have them in your power; so know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Koran 5:34: Those that make war against God and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the country. They shall be held up to shame in this world and sternly punished in the hereafter: except those that repent before you reduce them. For you must know that God is forgiving and merciful.
Surah 5:51: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people. Koran 5:51: Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number, God does not guide the wrongdoers.
Surah 8:39: And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do. Koran 8:40: Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God*s religion shall reign supreme. If they desist, God is cognizant of all their actions; but if they give no heed, know then that God will protect you. He is the noblest Helper and the noblest Protector.
Surah 8:59-60: And let not those who disbelieve think that they shall come in first; surely they will not escape. And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah*s way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly. Koran 8:59-60: Let not the unbelievers think that they will ever get away. They have not the power to do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy, and others besides them who are unknown to you but known to God. All that you give for the cause of God shall be repaid you. You shall not be wronged.
Surah 8:65: O Prophet! Urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand. Koran 8:65: Prophet, rouse the faithful to arms. If there are twenty steadfast men among you, they shall vanquish two hundred, and if there are a hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of understanding.
Sura 9:3b-4: . . . and announce painful punishment to those who disbelieve. Except those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement, then they have not failed you in anything and have not backed up any one against you, ---so fulfill their agreement to the end of their term; surely Allah loves those who are careful (of their duty). Koran 9:4: Proclaim a woeful punishment to the unbelievers, except to those idolaters who have honoured their treaties with you in every detail and aided none against you. With these keep faith, until their treaties have run their term. God loves the righteous.
Surah 9:5: So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Koran 9:5: When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way. God is forgiving and merciful.
Surah 9:29: Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgement of superiority and they are in a state of subjection. Koran 9:29: Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given as believe neither in God nor the Last Day, who do not forbid what God and His apostle have forbidden, and do not embrace the truth Faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued.

Quote from the Hagitha: (oral tradition)
Whoever changes his religion, kill him.
From an MSNBC report:
Pictures of suicide bombers decorate many mosques.
Bob Russell:
160,000 Christians per year are killed in Muslim countries. In 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists. During the 1980*s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists. On 9/11/01 four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take out the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists. News reports showed hundreds of thousands of Muslims cheering those events. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by Muslim male extremists. In 2009 13 were killed at Fort Hood by a Devout Muslim.
So many thousands have been murdered by suicide bombers around the world that the reports have become routine rather than shocking.
Excerpts from Dr. Peter Hammond*s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat
Note: It appears that the descendants of Ishmael have simply inherited the characteristics of their patriarch prophesied in the Bible.
Genesis 16:11-12: And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man*s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
More quotes from Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: ---
It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrasses. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.

Australians do brunch better than anywhere in the world, with menus offering everything from healthy dishes to devilish delights! Long gone are the days of simple poached or scrambled eggs – the Australian brunch scene has revolutionised to offer new and innovative dishes that cater to all tastes. But whether you're after a simple-yet-tasty granola or some sweet pancakes, there's no better place to immerse yourself in Australia's brunch culture than the country's food capital – Melbourne.
To help ensure your brunch game is strong, the food experts at OpenTable have compiled a selection of the best reservation-taking brunch spots in Melbourne for you to enjoy this weekend.
Supernormal: Opening its doors at 11.00am, Supernormal offers a refreshing take on brunch with the menu. Dishing up delicious dumplings, bao plates and popular Asian dishes with a modern twist, Supernormal has a great vibe and the restaurant fit-out offers both bar and table seating. Keeping true to its name, this venue can offer a really supernormal brunch experience, with a great drink menu to match!
Higher Ground Melbourne: This venue oozes the trendy charm Melbourne is famous for! Higher Ground has an industrial feel with exposed bricks, support beams and high ceilings. More than just a cool venue, the restaurant also boasts an impressive menu with options for hipsters and brunch traditionalists alike. For something delicious, we recommend trying the buffalo yoghurt chia muddled strawberries, mint, dried kiwifruit and pistachios.
Little Collins St Kitchen: With breakfast served from 6.30am and the weekend brunch menu kicking in from 12.00pm, Little Collins Street Kitchen is a great option for early birds wanting to make the most of their weekends! Located on the Paris end of Little Collins Street, this restaurant dishes up local and seasonal dishes with a French twist. Simple and comfy décor complete the dining experience.
Fathers Office: Opening at 11.00am on the weekends, this unconventional brunch spot will transport you back to the 1920s prohibition era with a themed Speakeasy Bar and Restaurant. The venue puts on a show with dark wooden floor board and exposed lighting. We recommend Fathers Office to those wanting to kick-start their weekend with a burger and some world famous wings. With $12.00 cocktails flowing all day on Sunday, it would be rude not to wash your meal down with a delicious concoction like the Alfalfa Switzer – it's 5.00pm somewhere in the world right?!
The Hotel Windsor: With a selection of freshly squeezed juices, smoothies and champagne by the glass, this restaurant has something for every type of bruncher. Whether you're opting for the breakfast trifle, eggs benedict or house fruit and spice waffle, you know you're in for a treat with the divine menu being crafted by Executive Chef Joel Alderson. Our pick is the proper eggs and bacon with maple gazed bacon, fried duck egg and pickled green chilli on Pyengana cheddar toast.

My old bedroom tv which was made by Toshiba was a piece of crap and after having it for 3 years Toshiba wasn't going to fix it anymore eventhough I had an extended warrenty they told me that they authorized for it to be returned to the retailer that I bought it from. I bought it at Costco before they changed their rules so Costco took it back eventhough I got approval from Toshiba. To make a long story short, I went after returning the Toshiba to buy a Sony KD-34XBR970 which has a ATSC tuner built in with QAM so I am getting all the Hi-Def channels for over the air. This TV is very sexy and I am very impressed. I recommend it if shopping for a TV this is the best Tube tv available and only one model would beat it which is the last years model because has more features but has lots of problems.
Now turning from the TV to Finals I got my grades for the semester which wasn't my finest work but oh well, I got a B- in Software Engineering, C+ in Database Management, C in Advanced Data Structures & a D in Computing Theory. I also didn't take my final in Physics so I got an F so I know I got to retake it.

The Khaḍipadā image inscription is largely overlooked in historical studies of Vajrayāna, yet it seems to be tremendously important. The publisher of the inscription, A. Ghosh, assigns it to the seventh century on palaeographical grounds (Epigraphia Indica XXVI 1941-42, pp. 247-248). The short inscription was found on the left edge of a Padmapāṇi statue. It records the name of the king under the rule of which the donation occured, the name of donor, and the name of the craftsman who incised the inscription:
oṃ śrī-śubhā(or śuhā-?)karadeva-rājye mahāmaṇḍalācārya-paramaguru-rāhularucināṃ tasya dedharmmo yaṃ | utkīrṇṇaṃ kuḍhā(?)-sūttradhāreṇaḥ ||
The rendering is a bit uncertain. As Ghosh suggests, de dharmmo obviously stands for deyadharmmo, and we should probably ignore the visarga in sūttradhāreṇaḥ. Ghosh proposes rāhularucināmā for rāhularucināṃ which is also feasible, but I'm not really convinced. So the text must means something along the lines of:
Oṃ. During the reign of śrī Śubhākaradeva [of the Bhaumakara dynasty, there was a man] called Rāhularuci, a chief maṇḍalācārya and royal preceptor. This is his pious gift. Incised by Kuḍhā, the craftsman.
Niceties aside, the most important facts are that there was a guy called Rāhularuci, a very Buddhist name, who was a 'paramaguru', a title reserved for the royal chaplain, and he was also a (mahā)maṇḍalācārya. This, as far as I know, is the earliest occurence of the term maṇḍalācārya. The fact that the royal preceptor is a Buddhist also seems quite unique. The Bhaumakaras should be given much more attention.
PS: due to an unfortunate data transfer I lost the link to Mori's website which had a photo of this particular Padmapāṇi statue. I'd be very grateful if someone could post it.

We didn't waste any time after we got back from Colorado to get the house decorated. We were anxious to actually decorate the house this year since we weren't focused on unpacking boxes! It took a little bit of time, but eventually everything found its place. We also went on the hunt for some new decor to add to the mix because our house now has more opportunities to spread the decor around!
|Magical Mantle!
A tradition we have had since Lila was little is her helping Mike put the star on the top of the tree. As you can see, this year it was a bit more of a challenge as she is getting big! She isn't quite ready to do it herself, but it isn't as easy to effortlessly give her a lift to the top of the tree, but they got it done!
|Adding the star to the top of the tree
|Our little family taking a quick pic in front of the tree!
|My girl!
At our other two homes we hung lights along the roof line to decorate our exterior for Christmas. The Hemlock house had a big porch that we could decorate, too. Since moving into the new house we have had to re-engineer what the exterior of the house looks like on Christmas. While we didn't do lights on the roof line we did decorate the porch and are excited about the ideas we have for years to come for the outside of the house!
|Front porch - the dogs are keeping watch!
The first weekend in December always marks Santa's visit to downtown CR. We are always so fortunate that he makes a special stop at TrueNorth to spend some time with the kids, hear their Christmas wishes, and the kids can pick out a toy right there! There is also a hot chocolate bar, Christmas treats, and the kids do a Christmas craft to take home with them. All three of us love this tradition!
|Ready to see Santa!
|"I have been nice, Santa!"
On top of all of the holiday celebrating we had another big thing to celebrate in our family, Mike's graduation from Kirkwood! Two years ago Mike made the life decision to go back to school to get a degree in Human Services and a certificate in Drug & Alcohol Counseling. It is amazing how two years ago this day felt like it was so far away, and here we were, giving him hugs & kisses as he walked out the door as a student for the last time! How exciting?!?!
|Daddy's last day of school!
It was strangely bittersweet for Mike to graduate! While all of us were excited for him to graduate, it also meant that change was on the horizon. A new focus, a new job, a new schedule...it was definitely going to take some getting used to. He was fortunate enough to have a really great internship, working with kids 13-17 with drug and alcohol dependencies, they valued him so much they kept him on staff as a full-time position, what an awesome compliment! While change is coming, we are just excited to celebrate with him and enjoy the time we all have off between Christmas and New Years!
Mid December found us attending Shrek the Musical, the Christmas show at TCR! Lila is quite mystified by performing, so she was super excited to see the musical, but nothing compared to her excitement to see my co-worker Mallory in the performance!
|Super excited to see Shrek @ TCR!
The show was positively awesome, I was lucky enough to see it twice! The talent in CR is really impressive and you could tell that the cast had a wonderful time performing in the show and were excited to share it with the audience. Lila was in total awe and rekindled her love for the story of Shrek! After the performance was over the cast members go up to the lobby and greet the audience members. As I stated above, Lila was pretty excited to see Mallory, not only does she have an admiration for Mal on a normal day, she was blown away that she was going to be on stage singing and dancing! It was darling to hear Lila gasp when Mallory sang her solo! Maybe someday Mallory will sit in the audience and hear Lila's solo?! We shall see!
|Posing with Raggedy Ann (aka: Mallory)
|A little Fiona love!
Throughout the month we also shopped and wrapped and shopped and wrapped! We have A LOT of people to buy for, so it seems like the wrapping paper and tape are in abundance at our house during the month! While I do love to buy gifts for people, taking the time to find the perfect item, I do really love wrapping - the hunt for the perfect paper, the bows to match, and cute tags!
|Wrapping and wrapping and wrapping...
On December 15th Lila's school put on a Christmas concert. Lila has always participated in the smaller one with the preschool which is the Saturday before the "all-school" concert. While I was a bit nervous about how she would do with the length of the show, I was actually excited to see her perform as a Kindergartner!
|"Mary had a baby, Oh Lord!"
|All school song: Twelve Days of Christmas
|Proudly performing with the whole school!
|The trio!
The Sunday before Christmas always finds us heading to Lamont to celebrate with my Smith side of the family! Lila loves this Christmas in particular because it means getting to hang with her cousin Audra. She doesn't get to see her that often, but when they do get together they have so much fun! Grandma's house is always full of people, love, & laughter. It is a wonderful way to kick off all of the Christmas celebrations throughout the week!
|Our little poser!
|To Grandmother's house we go...
|What could be in those huge boxes?
|Life size Elsa, of course!
|More and more presents under the tree!
|All ready to board the Polar Express at school!
|Kindergarten Christmas party
|Three wise men relay!
A few of the moms actually planned and executed the Christmas party! I was lucky enough to be able to volunteer to help and be a part of all of the festivities! The kids started off with a fun craft - creating Christmas trees and gingerbread men, moved on to decorating donuts, a relay as wise men, and they finished the morning off with a student to student gift exchange!
|Lila & Addy
|Gift exchange
Christmas Eve is traditionally one of my favorite days of the Christmas week. Spending the morning with my family and then moving into the evening at Jason and Jen's to bring our families together for soup and singing -- it's my favorite!
|Christmas Eve morning
|Our tradition: singing on Christmas Eve night with our family
Low and behold! Santa found us and we had a thrilled little girl Christmas morning as she made her way down the stairs to see all that was waiting for her by the tree!
|Santa found us!
|An Anna to go with Elsa - Santa, you shouldn't have!
|Look at all that loot!
|More Frozen stuff...who knew?!
|So. Much. Stuff.
The afternoon of Christmas we loaded up again, but for a short little jaunt to my Dad's house. We all gathered to have a delicious meal, open gifts, and just hang out and enjoy each other's company!
|A quick snapshot of the three of us Christmas Day!
|Cinderella's castle
|Sleeping Beauty's beautiful dress!
|Our favorite gift!
|A little game of Fibber brought a lot of laughs!
The Saturday after Christmas found us at Mike's grandparents celebrating with his side of the family! It seems that more often than not we wrap up our celebrations on the Eddins side, which is such a nice place to end a crazy holiday week! With our smallest group, we always have such a nice time just relaxing and getting through the day without a rush. After the whirlwind of the week, the smaller, low key celebration is always so welcomed!
|Another crazy pile of presents!
We have seen another Christmas come and go and are ready to close the book on 2014. While we had many amazing blessings in 2014, I do believe this little family is ready to bid adieu to the year and are excited to welcome 2015! Our hope for 2015 is to have a quiet year focused on settling into our new routine and enjoying our many blessings!
We hope you had a very Merry Christmas and wish you a wonderful 2015!

Inventaron los Latinoamericanos, Lo Share this with a friend
(Latin Americans Thought of It)
We Thought of It series
by Eva Salinas
Travel from the ancient hidden city of Machu Picchu high in the Andes, past Mayan ruins over 2,000 years old, to the bustling modern cities of São Paulo and Buenos Aires. Along the way, readers will learn about the vibrant cultures and innovations of Latin America—rodeo, carnival, chocolate, coffee, piñata, tango, and salsa, to name only a few. Many of these have become part of the daily lives of people all around the world.
Lo inventaron los lantinosamericanos features a rich array of photos along with informative text divided into sections, including: • Clothing • Architecture • Communication • Arts and Crafts • Everyday Inventions • Sports
This fifth book in Annick's successful We Thought of It series describes the traditions and innovations that are the result of thousands of years of civilization in Latin America, across two continents and nearly 20 countries. Within the region, there are many similarities (for instance, except for Brazil, the countries are all Spanish-speaking) and also many differences: in the mountainous Andes regions, terrace farming was invented so that crops could be planted on steep hillsides, while in the marshy areas of Mexico and Bolivia raised fields called chinampas were devised so that crops could flourish in lowlands.
"An excellent resource and a must-buy for any school library."
—CM Reviews, 03/12
"I like the series and love that it brings our attention to technological advancements that developed in other places and times outside of North America. Good introductions that could lead into deeper discussions and research."
—Doucette Library of Teaching Resources, 02/12
"Presented with a pleasant design and excellent photographs."
—School Library Journal, Libro por libro, 03/01/13
"This wonderful resource could be used to introduce students to the Latin American culture and would provide a good starting-off point for children working on projects or essays."
—Canadian Children's Book News, 07/12

Manuel brazenly bribes, extorts, and pays off anyone who threatens to expose the activities of his inner circle.

There are a lot of things in this world that are easy to escape from. Having a son you didn't ask for isn't one of them.
Mack is a nomad. He likes his own space and he struggles with emotion. His past is grey and his future looks about the same. That is until his ex-girlfriend dies and his son is handed over to him. A two month old baby he didn't know existed. Until now.
His world comes crashing down around him.
Desperate, he hires a nanny.
Jaylah has gotten herself into some serious trouble, so when she sees the job opening for a nanny pop up, she jumps on it. Of course she's not a nanny, but she figures she can pull it off. I mean, how hard can it be?
She's thrown into a world of diapers, hourly feedings and a whole lot of laundry. She's also introduced to the most rugged, gorgeous man she's ever had the pleasure of meeting.
The best part, he's the baby's father.
The worst part, he's a biker.
Their sexual tension is huge, but he's a hard nut to crack. She'll get in, though. She makes it her mission to break through the wall Mack has built so high around himself.
Her world is about to spiral out of control, and she's taking Mack along for the ride.
I have not read a Bella Jewel book in some time so Anguish was a nice refresher as to why I love her books and writing.
Anguish is the third book in the Jokers Wrath MC series and they are each stand alone. I had not read Precarious or Melancholy, before this and I was able to follow along just fine. It did really make me want to read the first two books though 🙂
Anguish is Mack and Jaylah's story. Mack is new dad to baby he knew nothing about and sadly wants nothing to do with. As horrible as that sounds you do understand why that is as you find out the backstory between baby Diesel's mom and him. Jaylah has gotten herself into some big trouble and needs money…fast. She answers the ad Mack puts in for a nanny for Diesel and gets the job since she is the only one that put up with crabby and moody Mack. From there the story is full Jaylah being a funny, in your face personality that will not allow Mack to a broody jerk plus ignore his kid.
I really did enjoy this story and once I started I did not what to put down. Jaylah was sweet,funny and smart ass plus really good for and with Mack. Mack was closed off and moody and a jerk the majority of the time but it is a lot fun seeing Jaylah bring out the person he can be. Thier sexual tension is palpable from the beginning and they have some hot moments throughouts.
You will be happy to know that if you have read the first two books then you will also get Krypt, Maddock, Ash, and Santana. I am excited to read the first two books and find out their stories too.
"Mack's eyes hold mine in an intense stare that seems to go on and on. I squirm beneath his gaze. It's as if he knows all my secrets. Maybe he does."
"You stole my fuckin' drugs."
The foot at my throat presses me further into the cold, scratchy pavement. I gasp, my fingers clawing at fleshy ankles. His skin doesn't budge; my nails are too short to break the flesh that I'm so desperately scraping at. It does nothing to move him, or send him on his way. Instead, he pushes harder, cutting off more of my air supply.
"That's not exactly how it went down," I croak, struggling.
"You were meant to deliver them; instead you fuckin' sold them, and ran with the money."
He's right about that. I did take the drugs and sell them. I had good reason—my boyfriend was in trouble, and I was doing anything I could to get him out of trouble. I didn't think ahead. I didn't realize that I'd then owe a very unhappy drug dealer money. Not my finest moment, that's for damned sure.
"I had no choice . . . I was helping someone I care about."
He presses his boot down further into my throat, and my air supply narrows down to a dangerous level. My head pounds as the blood and oxygen are cut from my brain.
"I bet that person ain't here helpin' you tonight, now, are they?"
No, he's right about that. Samuel is probably sleeping with someone else. The moment his debt was cleared, he left me. The dirty, cheap fucker left me. Now I'm dealing with the backlash. A furious drug dealer who wants his money.
Money I don't have.
"Don't I get," I gasp, "one chance to get your money?"
He glares down at me through angry grey eyes. I squirm again as my vision starts flittering in and out. Shit, I'm going to pass out and he's probably going to kill me, or worse, drag my helpless body away to do God knows what with.
"I have m-m-m-money," I croak.
"If you had money, you wouldn't have stolen my drugs."
"I . . ." God, I'm on the edge. "I can get it. I s-s-s-swear."
He stares at me, and for each second he does, my vision swims. Then, much to my relief, he lifts his boot off and reaches down, hurling my weak body up. He pulls me close, so close that our noses touch. My knees wobble and I have to push all my focus into not falling flat on my face and giving him another chance to take me.
"Listen, and listen fuckin' good. You've got two weeks, and trust me, that's me bein' fuckin' generous. Get my money, or I come for you."
I nod.
"Don't try and run. You do, I'll fuckin' find you."
I close my eyes, take a deep, burning breath and nod again.
"Two weeks."
Then he's gone.
And I know . . . I just know . . . I'm in deep, deep shit.

About the Mediator
As a mediator, I bring to the table an open, hospitable attitude to the disputants, their issues and their situation as a whole. I support the participants in standing strongly for their needs and concerns, and encourage them to actively listen to the other party's perspective. Once communication flows freely around the table, participants discover common ground and are empowered to collaboratively work on solutions that will work in their unique situation.
I specialize in Board/staff and workplace conflicts in the charitable sector, social enterprise, schools and co-ops. I also facilitate strategic planning and consult to Boards on governance and policy development. I live and practice on Vancouver Island but I also travel a lot around the province and welcome clients in the Okanagan/Similkameen, Cariboo/Chilcotin, and the Peace region.
I invest significant time and resources in ongoing professional development through Mediate BC Society, Justice Institute of BC, the Process Work Institute, Deep Democracy Institute, as well as personal inner work. I also volunteer as caseworker for Restorative Justice Victoria.

Share Flipboard Email Print Purestock/Getty Images Religion & Spirituality Christianity The Bible Origins & Development The New Testament The Old Testament Living the Christian Faith Christian Life for Teens Prayers Weddings Bible Devotions Denominations & Movements Funerals Holidays Entertainment Definitions Catholicism Islam Judaism Hinduism Buddhism Latter-Day Saints Taoism Alternative Religion Angels & Miracles Sikhism Holistic Healing Paganism / Wicca Astrology Atheism & Agnosticism View More by Mary Fairchild Mary Fairchild is a full-time Christian minister, writer, and editor of two Christian anthologies, including "Stories of Cavalry." Updated September 19, 2018 A baby dedication is a ceremony in which believing parents, and sometimes entire families, make a commitment before the Lord to raise that child according to God's Word and God's ways. Many Christian churches practice baby dedication instead of infant baptism (also known as Christening) as their primary celebration of a child's birth into the community of faith. The use of dedication varies widely from denomination to denomination. Roman Catholics almost universally practice infant baptism, while Protestant denominations more commonly perform baby dedications. Churches that hold baby dedications believe baptism comes later in life as a result of the individual's own decision to be baptized. In the Baptist church, for example, believers are usually teenagers or adults before being baptized The practice of baby dedication is rooted in this passage found in Deuteronomy 6:4-7: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. (ESV) Responsibilities Involved in Baby Dedication Christian parents who dedicate a child are making a promise to the Lord before the church congregation to do everything within their power to raise the child in a godly way — prayerfully — until he or she can make a decision on his or her own to follow God. As is the case with infant baptism, it is sometimes customary at this time to name godparents to help raise the child according to godly principles. Parents who make this vow, or commitment, are instructed to raise the child in the ways of God and not according to their own ways. Some of the responsibilities include teaching and training the child in God's Word, demonstrating practical examples of godliness, disciplining the child according to God's ways, and praying earnestly for the child. In practice, the precise meaning of raising a child "in a godly way" can vary widely, depending on the Christian denomination and even on the particular congregation within that denomination. Some groups place more emphasis on discipline and obedience, for example, while others might regard charity and acceptance as superior virtues. The Bible supplies abundant wisdom, guidance, and instruction for Christian parents to draw from. Regardless, the importance of baby dedication lies in the family's promise to raise their child in a manner consistent with the spiritual community to which they belong, whatever that might be. The Ceremony A formal baby dedication ceremony can take many forms, depending on the practices and preferences of the denomination and congregation. It may be a short private ceremony or one part of a larger worship service involving the entire congregation. Typically, the ceremony involves the reading of key Bible passages and a verbal exchange in which the minister asks the parents (and godparents, if so included) if they agree to raise the child according to several criteria. Sometimes, the entire congregation is welcomed to also respond, indicating their mutual responsibility for the child's well-being. There may be a ritual handing-off of the infant to the pastor or minister, symbolizing that the child is being offered to the community of the church. This may be followed by a final prayer and a gift of some kind being offered to the child and parents, as well as a certificate. A closing hymn may also be sung by the congregation. An Example of Baby Dedication in Scripture Hannah, a barren woman, prayed for a child: And she made a vow, saying, "O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servant's misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head." (1 Samuel 1:11, NIV) When God answered Hannah's prayer by giving her a son, she remembered her vow, presenting Samuel to the Lord: "As surely as you live, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the LORD. I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." And he worshiped the LORD there. (1 Samuel 1:26-28, NIV) Continue Reading

originally written for Lawndale Bilingual Newspaper, 7/31/14
"You can't plan everything," explained singer, drummer and percussionist Sheila Escovedo or better known as Sheila "E". And if you would have told her she would make collaborations with some of the greatest musical talent from around the world including Gloria Estefan, Carlos Santana, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross she would have told you, you were crazy. A California native, music quickly became an outlet of creative expression and escape.
Rounding out 40 years in the music industry, Sheila E's album Icon, her first record in 12 years, mixes a variety of sounds and has something for everyone: funk, rock, R&B, Latin rhythms and jazz. Music was the heart beating sound and life throughout her family's household walls as a child and served as fuel for her musical inclination. She grew up surrounded by great music legends like her percussionist father Pete Escovedo and Latin star Tito Puente, who all supported and inspired her to follow her passion.
After four decades in the business it is surprising to see Sheila E remain dynamic and actively touring. Many artists often burnout or plateau after a few years in the industry. "Acknowledging that [music] is really about the people and the connections made," said Sheila of what helps her stay honest with her music. "Music brings people together..it is a celebration of freedom and community, and I feel so grateful to be able to contribute to that mission."
When asked what piece of advice she would give a younger version of her self, "You might want to put some gel insoles in those stilettos every now and then, girl, Just a thought." Despite life's tough punches, and its twists and turns it appears that Sheila E hasn't forgotten one thing: her sense of humor.
Catch her performing at Buddy Guy's Legends' "Intimate Concert Series" August 5th. For more information, visit www.buddyguy.com
Be on the lookout for our next edition where we will have a follow-up to this article about her show at Buddy Guy's Legends.

Sirach 3: 17-18, 20, 28-29; Hebrews 12: 18-19, 22-24; Luke 14: 1, 7-14
I don't need to tell you that Jesus has this tendency to create tension wherever he goes. It's as if conflict follows him into all these different situations. Today is no different. He stands, as the writer of Hebrews tells us today, the Mediator, between these two opposing realities.
There's first the reality of the Pharisees. They are the center of religious power and a power that often went far beyond religion. They saw themselves in many ways as gods and the keeper of the law. Here he is in the leading Pharisees house on the Sabbath so naturally there's going to be tension. He heals a guy which already counts as a strike against him and then begins to observe the actions of the Pharisees, who, on many levels, are oblivious to what's going on and how their actions appear and speak to others.
Then there's this other reality that he presents to them through the telling of parables and who should be invited to dinner. It's the poor, the crippled, the lame, and every other outcast of society. It's the people that have been ostracized by the pharisees for one reason or another. Yet, they are the ones that Mediator raises up in humility. So what makes their reality so unique? I'm not saying everyone because they too are human but the difference often comes in this deep connectedness that they have that goes beyond the community that they've been ostracized from, a deeper connection with what is bigger than themselves. They've had to learn because of their lives to have faith and put trust in the One that is bigger than themselves, as opposed to the pharisees whom often saw themselves as the ones that are bigger than the other.
All of this is the realities that Jesus steps into as Mediator and tries to find another way, a third way as it is often called, to bring together these opposing opposites. But we know not only from the time of Jesus but our own time as well that it just doesn't seem to happen. When the people in authority and who hold the power are put into such a position they don't want to budge. The buckle down and try to hold onto their power, which isn't even real in the first place. Jesus brings up fear and uncomfortableness in their lives and of course becomes the scapegoat for their fear and uncomfortableness. He is a threat not only to them but to the system, the institution that they represent, and they become self-serving. It's no longer about the people who are in touch with this deeper reality, it's about holding on and trying to save something that isn't real in the first place.
Now we know how it turns out. Eventually these systems even today must die. They know longer have the purpose they once had but that requires all of us to change. The pharisees isn't just these guys back in the time of Jesus but they are me and they are you. We don't like things to change but when the system no longer serves the most vulnerable and becomes self-serving, it's lost it's purpose. Like them, there is that part of us that wants to hold onto it. It's the critic in ourselves that will do everything to prevent change and to try to sabotage anything new. When we don't, we have what we have today, this sense of disconnectedness that exists between the ruling class, as it is with the pharisees, and become blinded by their own behavior, and what's most importation, this deeper connection that we hold, this inherent dignity that comes from the Eternal Mediator that tries to reconcile these parts of ourselves to makes us whole, as individuals, community, city, and even country.
None of us can deny that the systems are broken in our Church and government. They may have had their place in a time but not anymore. Heck, even a few weeks ago Jesus threw the family institution into the mix as well. All of it is a voice crying out to be heard that is being ignored. Those in power want to continue to keep others at bay, to keep that disconnectedness, creating the violence we see in our own lives and beyond. The readings, though, today speak of humility. Humility is when we become aware of how we have allowed the pharisee in ourselves to lead us and disconnect us from our own humanity and the One bigger than ourselves. It's is a dying to self and giving up that self for a greater good for the people, especially the most vulnerable. If we don't take care of those that have been ostracized we have truly lost our way. We pray today for that humility in our lives, in our city, and certainly in this nation.
Pride has quite the way of taking hold of our lives and not wanting to let go, blinding us to those being called to the banquet as Jesus speaks of today. We have become so blinded by that in our own country and our hold to nationalism and other pharisaical ways that we become attached to in our lives. We pray for that humility to be able to sit with the tension in our own lives and to meet the Eternal Mediator in the heart of it all, calling us to let go and to connect with our deeper identity, our inherent dignity in Christ.

14 Feb The Best Cashew Cream Ever!
It taste just like Cheese! I am not kidding. This Cashew Cream triples as the best spread, sauce and dip ever! You can quite literally use this amazing stuff in your salads, for raw veggies on in your wraps. It has the silky consistency of cream cheese but without all the bad additives.
This recipe really makes being on a raw food diet (not me) and plant based diet really easy! Raw food recipes can sometimes seem a bit fat fetched but I promise you this one is amazing and can so easily be added to another one of your favourite vegetable recipes!
Of course you may be a bit hesitant to try it as it is made from cashews after all and is extremely healthy, nourishing organic food and super easy to make. But hey, I will you be the judge!
As you can see by the photos I used the Cashew Cream as a dip/dressing for that gorgeous Kale salad you see there. It tasted especially bad ass with my Roasted Greek Potatoes. It was just something about the creaminess of the cashews against the seriously crunch of the potatoes! So. Worth. Trying.
I suggest you make a large batch of this amazingness and use it on everything! You can cater it to taste by adding your favourite fresh herbs and spices.
It still blows my mind that this beautiful creating all started with a few simple ingredients and was finished with a blender. Now that is simple.
You are going to love this Cashew Cream because it is:
- creamy
- rich
- plant based
- quick + easy
- luxurious

This recipe is apart of a:
- raw food diet

I was awed by the gutsiness of the congregational ancestors at First United Methodist Church Tucson where I served. The church was built in the late 1800s in the old downtown district. They voted in early November of 1929 to relocate the church across the street from the main gate of the new college in town. The primary purpose of that plan was to honor the importance of secular education as a contribution to society. It was not an attempt to gain an advantage to evangelize. They had in mind Wesley's proclamation…that of caring for the welfare of all beings. It was a highly controversial proposal for the church at that time, partly because the campus was more than five miles outside the city limits in those days. So, they lost a number of members over that vote.
At the end of that month the stock market crashed and they felt a need to revisit their vision and take another vote. A few more members departed but the dream held. The hard economy made it virtually impossible to make the transition, but the church women saved the day and generated funds by selling toilet paper door-to-door. I got in a little trouble by pointing out at their 125th anniversary celebration that that's how they made ends meet back then.
…But, but…No wait…I should say 'and, and'…A testament to the success of their dream, the Methodist dream nationwide, was that 16 public schools in Tucson were named after members of that congregation. The church remains to this day across the street from the main gate of the University of Arizona. The Tucson Church vision under-girded a wider dream held by Methodists across the country in those years. As we know there are now over a hundred and twenty universities and colleges founded by the denomination; among them USC, Emery, Northwestern, Boston University, Southern Methodist, Drew, Duke, Ohio Wesleyan, Illinois Wesleyan, Nebraska Wesleyan, Vanderbilt.
My guess is masses of university faculty members, administrative staff and public school teachers were drawn to attend Methodist churches because of those grand contributions to society. They may not have been attracted initially to the worship or educational aspects of church life, but they liked the Methodist image of caring for society with no faith strings attached.
A number of those great establishments have medical schools which dovetail with another huge Methodist dream over a hundred years ago, that of building some of the most prominent hospitals in the country and the world, such as the famous Methodist Heart hospital in Houston. And then there is Good Samaritan, the esteemed regional hospital in Phoenix. I have been telling about the dream of a single soul of First Methodist Church in Phoenix related to that grand enterprise. Her name was Lulu Clifton, a Methodist Deaconess and dreamer, who is credited with founding Good Samaritan Hospital. Scores of medical personnel began attending Methodist churches out of sheer admiration for our efforts to meet the physical needs of the masses.
A few years ago Bill Moyers challenged a graduating class at Southern Methodist University in his commencement address. He concluded his remarks by saying
"I know something about the DNA in this institution – the history that created this unique university. Although most of you are not Methodists, you can be proud of the Methodist in SMU. At the time of the American Revolution only a few hundred people identified with Methodism. By the Civil War it was the largest church in the country with one in three church members calling Methodism their faith community."
I believe Moyers is a Baptist, but he ended his presentation by proclaiming "No institution has done more to shape America's moral imagination. If America is going to be fixed, I believe someone with this DNA will be needed to do it. It's possible."
I think many of us may strive to remain Methodists because we have a nagging notion that we do our best when we rely upon our congregations to nurture courageous dreamers who find ways to contribute to the health and welfare of the masses. It's an audacious gesture but that's just who we are and who we've been.
We have dying churches across our country that are down to a few dozens in the pews with full-time pastors having near $100,000 packages and sitting on million dollar-plus properties. I honestly did little about that when I served as a district superintendent. Please, Lord, let someone else deal with it. Now I can dream big in my retirement.
What if we were able to urge those small congregations across America to sell off their property and attend other churches and have those proceeds go to severe needs in our culture? What if those profits were to go to national or global educational needs, environmental disasters or health care for the poor? Bill Moyers would be proud of us and there might be citizens who learned about the projects who might choose to attend our churches.
