Richard Fuchs Archive Launch 2008 - Danny Mulheron's Speech:
Thanks to their Excellencies the Governor General, the Hon. Anand Satyanand and Susan Satyanand for hosting this event, Thank you to all of you for coming out tonight. I hope you have a wonderful time. This will be the world premiere for much of the music you are about to hear.
Richard Fuchs died sixty years ago without ever having heard his works performed. When he arrived in New Zealand in 1938 he brought with him some recommendations from some of the greatest maestros of the twentieth century: Felix Weingartner, Ralph Vaughn Williams, and he pleaded with the nascent musical organisations of the time to perform his work. But apart from a very few, Frederick Page, Molly Atkinson, Phil Armstrong, (whose son, Donald, is leading the quartet, and whose other son, David, I still write and eat with to this day), his major works remained unheard in New Zealand.
It wasn't anyone's fault. Richard came from a generation earlier than the young modernists who were reshaping the future at the time. His was a different tradition. Romantic, Mahlerian - his musical heroes were Schubert, Hugo Wolfe, Mahler and Wagner. His Germanic, Bruchnerian tones were not what was wanted in New Zealand at the time. He wrote a frustrated letter to Frank Hutchens a well known Australian composer of the time saying that "New Zealanders were either 100 years back in musical taste or snobs of the most atonal ( I had attempted to write atonal) craziness".
New Zealanders at the time were searching for a New Zealand voice, a New Zealand sound, and new poets, like Baxter and Glover, were replacing Mulgan and Duggan, who harked back to a more European tradition. Richard's late daughter Eva put it simply, "New Zealanders wanted a New Zealand composer not a Jew from Germany".
He did write New Zealand music - military marches; and A New Zealand Christmas Carol, that was sung after his death for the Queen's visit in 1953. But apart from that there has been next to nothing… until at the prompting of Steven Sedley, who is here tonight as our Guest of Honour, I unearthed a carton of Richard's manuscripts - songs, a symphony, choral works - all beautifully hand written.
This research led to Richard's former music school in Karlsruhe devoting a concert to Richard Fuchs' German works, which my wife, Sara, and I decided to film. We took my mother, Soni, over there and filmed a documentary we called The Third Richard that will be screening on 21st August at the Paramount Theatre.
That in turn led to the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra (NZSO) performing his Symphonic Movement in the Made in New Zealand series earlier this year under the conductor Ken Young, another old family friend. And now tonight, we will hear the world premiere of some of Richard Fuchs' New Zealand Chamber Music. His Quartet composed in 1945; followed by two songs from his German life, sung by the wonderful Jenny Wollerman; and, finally a Piano Quintet composed in 1941. First we will hear the Quartet in E major, a two movement string quartet that Richard Fuchs composed in 1945 (Musical programme begins).
In a letter to Todd Duncan, a visiting American baritone, in 1949 two years after Richard died, Eva said "When Richard died I swore to myself to get his work recognised. If not in New Zealand, then people outside New Zealand. I'm no judge of music - if it is not worthwhile let it rest in peace as its creator". But, if it is worth while? Todd Duncan thought so - he sung one of the songs you are about to hear, Auf den Tod Eines Kind
During rehearsals Donald and Richard Mapp said that a song or two would complete the concert. In a huge rush I approached Jenny Wollerman, hoping to maybe get one of her students to learn them. I was hugely pleased when after seeing the music she agreed to sing them herself. Jenny is a fantastic singer and these two songs are my favourites of Richard Fuchs'. They were written in 1937 during the height of Nazi persecution and were terribly prescient of what was about to happen to him. So I would like you to welcome Richard Mapp and Jenny Wollerman. (Musical programme continues)
Songs: In der Fremde and Auf den Tod Eines Kindes
Shortly before his death Richard gave an address to the New Zealand Chamber Society on Mahler. He could have been talking about himself: It is said Mahler died of homesickness and I am tempted to say that all his creative work, in a higher sense is homesickness too. Mahler was a Jew by race and deeply felt the spiritual need to be at home somewhere on this planet.
It is significant that Richard Fuchs is now being accepted as part of his adopted home of New Zealand. Mahler was a huge influence on Richard Fuchs, as this music shows, but he brings his own quirky touches. It is certainly unlike anything else that was being composed in New Zealand at the time. This three movement String Quintet in D Minor was composed in March 1941 (Musical Programme continues).
Quintet in D minor: Three movements
The reason for this concert was to raise consciousness of what we felt was a significant but lost composer, but also to launch the Richard Fuchs Archive. This will be a Trust to preserve, publish and promote his work. Some of you may wish to help either as trustees or benefactors. And on the 21st of August this year I hope you will attend the documentary film of his life: The Third Richard, which we've been working on for the last 18 months.
All a composer needs is to be heard, and if nothing else tonight we will have given Richard Soloman Fuchs the opportunity to be heard. It is an opportunity which I know he would thank you for. My family and I certainly do.
I would like to thank his Excellency, the Governor General, and his wife; Steven Sedley, Richard Fuchs' biographer who discovered this lost composer, and the musicians: Donald Armstrong, Christina Vaszilcsin, Vyvyan Yendal, Brendon Veitch, Richard Mapp and Jenny Wollerman. And thank you to the Adam Foundation for helping make tonight possible.
Their Excellencies have asked me to extend an invitation to you all to take a look around Government House. It's a magnificent place so those covetous amongst you do take advantage of that invitation.
Thank you and enjoy your evening.

Florence + The Machine Debuts New Single 'What Kind Of Man' — Listen
It's about time! After what we're sure was a much needed break, Florence and the Machine is back, and safe to say, better than ever!
After teasing fans earlier in the week with clips, the full song and accompanying music video for Florence + the Machine's "What Kind of Man" dropped on Feb. 13, and you need to consume both immediately. In the song– and the racy video– Florence Welch finds herself in the midst of a "storm" which, of course, refers to love. Check it out inside!
Florence + The Machine New Single
"I heard you talking in your sleep last night," a man says to Florence at the start of the video for "Some Kind of Man," before the song begins.
"You seemed sad," he adds.
So Florence asks the obvious, why didn't you wake me?
"I didn't want to intervene," he says. "You seemed like you were suffering somewhere else–I didn't want to drag you out of it."
Um, wrong answer dude!
"So you think that people who suffer together would be more connected than people who are content?" she asks him.
And thus begins the music video– which really could be thought of more so as a short film set to music. Its' heartbreaking, it's intense… And it's not exactly suitable for work!
Florence Is Back
"There's this big storm all around us and we're in the middle of it, so it's calm, but you can feel it like it's everywhere," Florence says during the heartbreaking first single off the band's new album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, which will be available in full on June 2.
Though we've got quite a long way to go until that official release date, we'll happily listen to this single about a million times to tide us over.
What do you think of the new song?

You will discover that there is a noticeable development in the direction of getting to grips with the difficult however important matter of analysis mentioned by Merisotis and Phipps. Fear of know-how shouldn't be a deterrent as there's ample assist for individuals who need it. However, when you take pleasure in leading edge expertise, on-line education may be best for you. Merely finding the time to attend regular lessons may be impossible so a web-based education becomes a viable choice. However the identical reason that on-line training is a good option – lack of time – is the very purpose that on-line education is commonly troublesome. When you're attending a traditional class, you go to school at a prearranged occasions. The University of Phoenix has a large collection of levels and classes you'll be able to attend.
You've paid for the chance to learn, but a scarcity of motivation is usually the downfall of those who hunt down on-line education. And Aslanian Market Research, in 2014, three.4 million college students were enrolled in full-time on-line packages, making up 17 p.c of all school college students. With online schooling on the rise, colleges and universities are benefiting from this versatile technique of studying to supply a variety of opportunities for students across the spectrum. Nevertheless, college students can opt for online programs to keep away from the additional expense of on-campus housing — saving them almost $5,000 a semester — and a meal plan.
The College of Central Florida (UCF) — the second largest university within the nation, with 60,810 students throughout its 13 campuses — presents an array of on-line course options, each full- and part-time, allowing college students to create a degree path that fits their schedule and situation. UCF has several learning models for college kids occupied with online courses: World Vast Web, video streaming, video streaming with some on-campus time, and combined mode, which combines Web-based mostly coursework with classroom time. The high cost of attending postsecondary education limits what these college students contemplate possible.
Given the ever-growing use of on-line courses, even in high school, students from all experiences and backgrounds are coming to UCF with an understanding that at least part of their diploma requirements can be met via on-line-only or hybrid classes," says Karen Morrison, chief range officer at UCF. Being able to do coursework, listen to a lecture, or watch a seminar at their convenience helps them steadiness life as they pursue their schooling.
Nevertheless, on-line training presents an possibility by means of which expenses may be considerably lowered, allowing college students the chance to pursue their diploma whereas limiting the quantity of debt they accumulate. Students enrolled in on-line applications even have extra flexibility to tailor their class schedules with a purpose to accommodate their different tasks — whether or not these embrace working a full- or part-time job, raising children, or caring for a cherished one. With a digital classroom, students can participate in lessons from wherever, as long as they've a pc and an Web connection.

Sex dates with no sign up Bengali web cum com
Know who you're talking to Whether it's an app you're on or a dating site, be aware of the amount of information on offer from the people you are chatting to.Sure, people knock off a few years here or there and might use a picture that's six months out of date, but, if someone has minimal information about themselves or one grainy picture be aware that they might not be who they say they are.But even before you've agreed to meet someone, there may be warning signs of impending dating disaster … Our best online dating advice: before you respond to that next wink or personal message, start watching out for these red flags. A Picture That's Worth Less Than a Thousand Words It's normal to be suspicious of people whose pictures are blurry or far away, full of other random people, or purposely vague.If a guy's profile is full of shots of him in sunglasses, dressed up for Halloween, or in miniature in front of the Great Wall of China, it's hard not to suspect that he's hiding something.If in doubt, delete them If in doubt about a person you meet online, stay safe and move on.
Give them a little insight before you meet them too, by letting them know who you're meeting and where you are planning to go - and don't feel awkward about nipping to the loo on the date to give them a quick text updating them of your whereabouts.
Dating is a negotiation, and we don't always get everything we want.
Getting involved with someone who's so demanding from the start is sure to end in disappointment.
"I should've taken that as a sign, but I figured it was Friday night, so I shouldn't judge.
When we met up in person, he was a [jerk] and kept asking me if I 'liked to party.'" So a good rule of thumb is: if your date is drunk the first time you talk to him on the phone, end it there.

Here is a brownie recipe I made and brought to work this week; it is a mash-up of several recipes since I couldn't find one to make what I wanted: moist brownies, not fudge, not sheet cake.
The above picture is actually of zucchini brownies, but the base recipes are the same.
Brownies (Vegan, Gluten-Free) Why does everyone think brownies need a modifier? These are on the cakey side but still quite moist.
1 1/2 cup applesauce
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with three tablespoons water
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Flour Blend
1 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa
generous 1/2 cup organic sugar
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
generous 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried fruit (chopped if large)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-by-13 inch baking pan.
Mix flaxseed and water and set aside. Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk wet ingredients and flax mixture in a large measuring cup. Add wet to dry. Fold in chunks. Transfer to pan and smooth out.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the center is set and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool in the pan. Store in the refrigerator.
These are best eaten when completely cool because the chickpea flour in the Bob's blend has a noticeable, sort of unpleasant taste when the brownies are warm.

'Did You Get the Job?'
Rachel Levy, 37, worked as marketing director at the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Boston before her position was eliminated in July 2008. She previously held brand management positions at Kraft Foods and Jim Beam Brands. Ms. Levy received an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in 1998. She lives in Boston.
I was delayed in writing this post because I was hoping to be able to write about a job offer I was expecting. It didn't come. It still may, so I haven't lost all hope, but it sounds like the company may be unsure about filling the position. Sound familiar? I have been hearing this more and more lately. Either the company advertises for a job and then decides it isn't hiring anymore, or it's restructured the job in the middle of hiring because it's trying to accomplish more with less, or it just decided to put the position on hold.
So not only do us laid-off folks have to deal with the stress of being out of work and an unknown financial future, we are also impacted by the uncertainty that companies are feeling themselves. This makes it tough, and a bit emotionally trying at times.

Taj Mahal of India - "the epitome of love", "a monument of immeasurable beauty".
The beauty of this magnificent monument is such that it is beyond the scope of words.
The thoughts that come into the mind while watching the Taj Mahal of Agra is not
just its phenomenal beauty, but the immense love which was the reason behind its
construction. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan got this monument constructed in the memory
of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, with whom he fell in love at the first sight.
Ironically, the very first sight of the Taj Mahal, the epitome of love and romance,
also leaves visitors mesmerized and perpetually enthralled.
Standing majestically on the banks of River Yamuna, the Taj Mahal is synonymous
to love and romance. It is believed that the name "Taj Mahal" was derived from the
name of Shah Jahan's wife, Mumtaz Mahal and means "Crown Palace". The purity of
the white marble, the exquisite ornamentation, precious gemstones used and its picturesque
location, all make a visit to the Taj Mahal gain a place amongst the most sought-after
tours in the world. However, until you know the love story behind the construction
of the Taj Mahal, the beauty of the same would not enliven in your heart and mind
and instead would come up as just another beautiful building/monument. It is the
love behind this outstanding monument that has given a life to this monument. Come
and explore the visceral charisma that it emanates!

Chandler lately
I was reading some mail and was tuning him out (not on purpose, just habit, ha!) when I heard him say, "Mom! Mooooooommm! Will you please ACKNOWLEDGE ME?!"
Today he asked, "What do you want for Christmas? Girl Stuff?"
He is notorious for wrecking up his brothers' lego creations while they're at school each day. One day he disassembled Charlie's new Bionicle and brought me the pieces. I got onto him as we figured out how to put it back together. So, in his usual charming manner, he got construction paper and masking tape and asked me if he could wrap it and give it to Charlie as a present...
He wrapped one for Chance, just so he wouldn't be left out.
Then he got some masking tape in his hair, so he cut it out. Hair and all. Oh Chandler....
But speaking of wrecking up things, we were sitting somewhere eating when a stranger said, "You need a girl." (Tell me about it...) So I asked the boys if they'd want a sister. Chandler said, "No, I don't want a baby, because babies wreck up your stuff." Really, kid?! Chance said, "Only if she's a nice girl," and Charlie said, "Where would we put her? I guess we could buy another bunk bed?"
A few weeks back I had bought some mini pillow pets as gifts for the boys, but hid them in the back of our car (not the van, the Escape). It took about 2 seconds for Chandler to venture in and find it! He strutted into the house, with his mini-puppy under his arm, proudly announcing he "sneakded" it out of "yours car." I told Chuck on IM what was happening, and he said, "You need to take it away from him. You can't let him get away with sneaking."
I pouted for a while about how it wasn't fair, that Chandler looked too much like Chuck for me to take away his precious toy, etc. But then I realized he was right, and I told Chandler:
"Daddy says you can't keep your puppy because you were sneaking."
Then I took this picture so Chuck could suffer with me. I must warn you, this is heart-wrenching.
But I'm happy to report, the puppy has been put up until Christmas and he hasn't asked about it once. Whew! I'm such a good disciplinarian. ;)
Sweet Cat Needs a Good Home
This cat (he/she? we'll go with "she") has made appearances on my porch on a regular basis for the past 6-8 months. Hungry enough to come near, too skiddish to let us pet her. But last night, I noticed how she's lost more weight, and she came "meowing" right up to me. So I nabbed her into a crate and brought her in the house for safe-keeping. There's a coyote loose around here, and this sweet thing needs protection! So I fed her, put her in our bathroom overnight, and she's been purring and using the litter box like a pro. She's also very affectionate with me and the kids...
But there's one problem: Chuck is allergic to cats. So this sweet thing needs a home.
She has a really cool tail, doesn't she?
So, if you or someone you know need a cat for Christmas...come and get it!! Shoot me an email firstname.lastname@example.com. First one to my home gets her (or him...).

Happy Halloween
We've just finished our annual Jones' Halloween party…but here's a sneak peek at our Halloween.
Note to self: buying costumes a month ahead of time doesn't make things any easier…they get busted and pieces get lost before the big day. Halloween 2012, don't allow costumes to be worn until Oct. 31st. Period.
This year, Chandler is so imaginative that he loved every minute of the costume wearing. And Halloween was way more relaxing since they're all old enough to stay close as we walk the neighborhood. This is the stuff that good childhood memories are made of. Love it!
Taking Stock in the Tooth Fairy
If you haven't, you probably should. My boys are starting to lose teeth like crazy around here.
Chance was so excited when his first tooth came out, one day back in August.
And 2 days later, out popped the next one, while at school! This is exciting stuff!
This is him, showing off the tooth holder they give at school. I love that the school celebrates as well in this way!

Mentos Experiments
Chuck and the boys had decided they wanted to try putting Mentos in a Coke bottle sometime. We gathered the materials and tried it: and it failed. You have to have the original Mentos, which are very hard to find (with no sugar coating). After some research and a trip to the hobby store, Chuck finally found a kit. Here was the second attempt.

Interest in Pinterest
I've had many friends jump on the bandwagon lately for Pinterest, but often with many questions. So I wanted to explain it here…
First of all, what is it? Pinterest is a virtual pinboard where you "pin" various ideas for later use. See an online recipe you don't want to forget? Pin it to your cooking board. A picture of someone's make up you'd like to imitate? Pin it to your board for "Appearance Inspiration". You name the boards, so you decide what categories/boards to set up. Then as you come across stuff online, you can pin those to your board. Then you can view your board at any time, click on that pin and you're back to that web page. To do that, once you've logged in, go to this page, and drag the "Pin it" button onto your browser. Then, when you come across a page to remember, just hit "pin it" and it'll prompt you put it on your Pinterest board.
For instance, one thing I've loved about Pinterest is all the ideas for things for kids. So now I have a board with all those ideas. Here it is: For The Kids. There is an excellent bubble making recipe, and bubble wand that have now replaced my ever buying commercial bubbles again.
Ok, so why would this be so addicting? Because we get to share our ideas with others in Pinterest! On that note, I recommend logging in (from the main Pinterest login page) through Facebook for 2 reasons: 1. You don't have to remember a password, and 2. It shows you as soon as your other friends join. Once you see they've joined, you can "follow" them. Just like you see status updates in FB, you'll see what your friends have pinned when you log in. And let me tell you, my friends have some awesome ideas!! You can also look at what the rest of the Pinterest community is pinning (not just your friends), and glean ideas from there as well.
I've had Pinterest for most of this year, and I cannot tell you how many "pins" I've implemented! I found lots of inspiration for birthday parties, including Chance's Lego birthday party last June. I've learned how to clean my mattresses, how to deep clean almost everything in my house, how to grow a garden, have crafts with the kids, eat healthier, exercise better, etc, etc. When I'm feeling uninspired for meal planning, I spend some time looking through my Yum board. When I'm down and just need a pick-me-up, I look through my Makes Me Laugh board.
Oh, and since I often get "how do you…" questions about photography, I've begun a photography board specifically with newbies to photography in mind.
So, should I ask in advance for forgiveness? Because this stuff can be addicting, for sure! But really, I probably just peruse the newest pins about 5-10 minutes a day. And there's no pressure to get on it at any time. It is only time consuming if you want it to be. And honestly, like this says:
So don't worry about stalking people on FB, and go learn something…and then do it!
And come find me when you do: http://pinterest.com/athier/
First Day of School
First, we had to get some jitters out that morning for a photo…And I'm thankful there was some sunlight. 2 months later…it's pretty dark in the mornings.
Our big kindergartener had some fear going on…
Thankfully his humor was still intact.
Mr. "I Got This" completely ready for second grade.
Finding his place in line for class.
Chance, finding his spot in class. It was a stroke of genius that his teacher put blocks at his place. It was a perfect diversion to keep him calm.
Afterwards, the three of us (Chuck, Chandler and I) went out for breakfast, and to mourn the coming school year…
But over time we perked up some…
Daddy definitely helped lighten the mood.
Not gonna lie, this year is going quite well for the school boys…but I'm missing our summer schedule!

Flying L
This year, a couple of friends invited us to a day at Flying L. Since we went three times last year, and once was a before-school-starts last hurrah, we decided to stay the weekend again. It did not disappoint.
I love Chance's face here…
Chandler, improvising on ways to take the slide.
Charlie could've worked the obstacle course all.day.long.
Seth, looking too cute and ferocious…
Lisa and Emily, and a nearly-full term baby Charlotte cookin' inside Lisa.
Tuckered out…
After resting and dinner, we had the campfire s'mores and a hayride. This time we even went through the Ghost Town…I was so impressed that the boys didn't get scared.
The next day, Chan, enjoying his snow cone.
My dear husband, enduring the heat and outdoors…just because he knows it makes us so very happy. <3

Crazy Love part 2
{Here's the beginning thoughts I had as I read through Crazy Love. This will take you through about the first half…but you have to keep reading beyond that because it gets even better.}
Francis Chan's purpose of the book is that you will be convinced that "by surrendering yourself totally to God's purposes, He will bring you the most pleasure in this life and the next." Yet he's clear that his goal is to awaken the Christian Church to be more active and aware, to wake up from our comfortable and wealthy lives, willing to give God everything. "In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him."
He starts out, much like Paul's letters, with theology. He reminds us of the basics, that God is holy, eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing. "It is ridiculous to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable of comprehending."
"All things were created by Him and for Him…As much as we want God to explain Himself to us, His creation, we are in no place to demand that He give an account to us."
God is fair and just, and must punish sin – our sin. He talks about how Isaiah's response to seeing the Lord (Isa. 6) is to say "Woe is me" because of his sin. And how often is that our response as we think about God?
Chan pulls no punches, which is what I'm loving about his style. His honesty makes me realize how much we have in common…
"On an average day, we forget that our lives are but a vapor." He talks about how we often get so consumed in our circumstances that we disobey His command to "rejoice always." And how worry and stress are often signs of a lack of faith (if you're saying "Ouch," you're not alone. I said it often through this book.) He compares this to a movie, how everything that is happening is a movie about God, and He is the director. Yet we tend to think this movie is about us. "So whatever you do, do it for the glory of the Lord." 1 Cor. 10:31 "The point of your life is to point to Him." We don't really have the control here. "I am thankful for the unknowns, and that I don't have control, because it makes me run to God."
"Stories of people who died after living godly lives are stories with happy endings. Sadly, many people die living selfishly."
"…harsh words and loving truth often go hand-in-hand." He urges us, in view of the brevity of life, to no longer forget God.
"When we love God, we naturally run to Him – frequently and zealously. Jesus didn't command that we have a regular time with Him each day. Rather, He tells us to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind." The results are intimate prayer and study of His Word."
"Dear is no longer the word I use to describe how I feel about God. Now I use words like reverent intimacy."
"…for a long time, I narrowly focused on His fearsomeness to the exclusion of His great and abounding love."
"God knew who He was creating, and He designed me for a specific work…God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine."
And if you needed the reminder: "Our good deeds can never outweigh our sins."
"The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time."
"The very fact that a holy, eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, merciful, fair and just God loves you and me is nothing short of astonishing."
"The greatest good on this earth is God. Period. God's one goal for us is Himself…Are we in love with God, or just His stuff?"
This he quoted: "It is not scientific doubt, not atheism, not pantheism, not agnosticism, that in our day and in this land is likely to quench the light of the Gospel. It is a proud, sensuous, selfish, luxurious, church-going hollow-hearted prosperity." – Frederic D. Huntington, Forum Magazine, 1890. That guy called it, didn't he? Guess we haven't changed much in the last 121 years…
Fran then addresses how we gauge success of events by numbers, wowed by big crowds. "Jesus questioned the authenticity of this kind of record keeping. According to Luke 8, when a crowd started following Him, Jesus began following Him, Jesus began speaking in parables – 'so that' those who weren't genuinely listening wouldn't get it. When crowds gather today, speakers are extraconscious of communicating in a way that is accessible to everyone. Speakers don't use Jesus' tactic to eliminate people who are not sincere seekers. In fact, He just wasn't interested in those who fake it."
Seriously, just let that sink in a minute.
Then he talks about the parable of the sower and the soils. "My caution to you is this: Do not assume you are good soil…When we want God and a bunch of other stuff, then tht means we have thorns in our soil. A relationship with God simply cannot grow when money, sins, activities, favorite sports teams, addictions, or commitments are piled on top of it."
"Do you see evidence of God's kingdom in your life? Or are you choking it out slowly by spending too much time, energy, money, and thought on the things of this world? Are you satisfied being 'godly enough' to get yourself to heaven, or to look good in comparison to others? Or can you say with Paul that you 'want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death? (Phil 3:10)"
Ouch? Ouch.
"Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets." Luke 6:26
He begins to describe lukewarm Christians as being church-going, giving but not until it hurts, doing things for show. "Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin…they don't really believe that this new life Jesus offers is better than the old sinful one."
"Lukewarm people are moved by stories about people who do radical things for Christ, yet they do not act…Lukewarm people call 'radical' what Jesus expected of all of His followers."
"Lukewarm people rarely share their faith with their neighbors, coworkers, friends…Lukewarm people say they love Jesus, and He is, indeed, a part of their lives. But only a part. They give Him a section of their time, their money, and their thoughts, but He isn't allowed to control their lives."
"Lukewarm people love others but do not seek to others as much as they love themselves. Their love of others is typically focused on those who love them in return…" (Matt 5:43-47)
"Lukewarm people think about life on earth much more often than eternity in heaven."
C.S.Lewis writes. "If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they become so ineffective in this."
"Lukewarm people are thankful for their luxuries and comforts, and rarely consider trying to give as much as possible to the poor."
He often quotes Matthew 13:44-46: "The kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."
"Lukewarm people are continually concerned with playing it safe…this focus on safe living keeps them from sacrificing and risking for God." I Tim 6:17-18, Matt 10:28
"Just as the prophets in the Old Testament warned Israel that they were not safe just because they lived in the land of Israel, so we are not safe just because we wear the label Christian or because some people persist in calling us a "'Christian nation.'"
"Lukewarm people do not live by faith; their lives are structured so they never have to. They don't genuinely seek out what life God would have them live…The truth is, their lives wouldn't look much different if they suddenly stopped believing in God."
Chan quantifies this incompletely description of lukewarm people with this: "We are all messed up people…however, there is a difference between a life that is characterized by these sorts of mentalities and habits, and a life that is in the process of being radically transformed.
Kira's Party
Also in August, our friend Kira had a birthday party, and Chuck's sister Melanie and her family came down to spend the weekend with us (and attend said party).
I didn't get many photos that weekend, but I did love this one of Mel reading too all the kids.
Swimming at Kira's…
Kira's creative cupcake toppers!
And just for fun, one of our nephew Leland…Meesh and her family came to the party as well! I cannot believe this boy is a year old already!

French International Kylian Mbappe said he never imagined "not even in my wildest dreams" that he could help France reach the World Cup final after Les Bleus saw off Belgium 1-0 on Tuesday.
Samuel Umtiti's 51st-minute header in the semifinal sent the French into the final, where they will be seeking their second win since 1998.
The 19-year-old added that he was overwhelmed at the thought of helping France reach the final in his first appearance at a World Cup.
He said; "It is unbelievable. It is the dream of dreams, the dream of the future, everything. I don't have the words. Not even in my wildest dreams, and I am a big dreamer, would I have imagined this.
"There is still one more step to take, but we are proud of what we have done."
Despite his exciting display, Mbappe rejected the idea that he could be seen as a Ballon d'Or contender.
"Not skipping the hard work and fighting for the group is one of my qualities — if I can help by running or shouting, then I will do it," the Paris Saint-Germain wonderkid said. "I want to win the World Cup — the Ballon d'Or is not my problem," he added.

This week in CEP811, we were asked to revisit Maker Experiment #1 looking at aspects of Universal Design for Learning that were either present in the plan or could be added to enhance the plan. I have included UDL Guideline references in green for aspects I felt already employed UDL. Likewise, I used red for additions to enhance the universality of the plan's learning design. (Note: All UDL Guideline reference numbers are clickable links to specific guideline explanations.)
My guiding question for this activity is: how can students use technology to explore randomness vs. pattern in abstract art production? (4.2)
Activity (Grade level: 4-5)
1.) In an art class where students have been exploring the creation of abstract art and how various artists achieved their results, focus a discussion on the topic of randomness vs. pattern starting with what students think the words mean and progressing through dictionary and practical definitions of each. (2.1)
2.) Display several images of abstract art via a large format (TV, overhead, doc cam, etc.) as well as in books and on posters (1.1) Some suggestions include paintings by Jackson Pollock, Wassily Kandinsky, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler, Paul Klee, Piet Mondrian and Robert Delaunay as well as Native American and Tibetan Sand Painting. Have the students identify randomness and pattern in them. Elicit from students suggestions of art they may know with either pattern or randomness, have them search for images on the internet and display same. (3.1)
3.) Lead a discussion about techniques that were (or could have been) used to achieve the randomness or the pattern. (3.2)
4.) Play the first 3:55 from the YouTube video "Robot Art: Harvey Moon's Drawing Machines." Activate closed captioning while playing. Offer SAP for ESL students. (1.2, 2.4)
5.) Have students identify and discuss Harvey Moon's techniques for creating randomness and pattern as seen in the video.
6.) Introduce the littleBits to the class. Allow approximately 15 minutes for pure introductory experimentation.
7.) Challenge the students to combine the littleBits with available artists' supplies (pencils, pens, markers, crayons, pastels, charcoal, paints, ink, styrofoam, sponges, toothbrushes, paintbrushes and various other objects that might be used as brushes) to create an "artbot" capable of creating either randomness or pattern on their canvases. An extra challenge is to build an "artbot" that can do both. (8.2)
8.) Bring the class back together to share their creations with one another and discuss the challenges (and their solutions) of working with the littleBits as well as working with the artists' tools to create both randomness and pattern. (6.2, 6.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4) Contrast the difficulty of creating randomness vs difficulty of creating pattern; compare with the time and effort Harvey Moon puts in. (6.1)
9.) Offer an opportunity for students to display their work in a public space. (7.1, 7.2)
By viewing my lesson plan through UDL glasses as it were, I was able to recognize several places where my plan already anticipated a universal design. For example, Step 8 allows students to show and explain their work (6.2), provides formative feedback via peer discussion (6.4), and provides several options for sustaining effort (8.1-8.4). Similarly, the discussion in Step 3 is important for highlighting critical features (3.2) of pattern and randomness in the identification of how each comes about. But the UDL feature I like most about this lesson is the entire lesson itself. By creating artbots, students who might otherwise perceive themselves as "bad at art" because they may not have the dexterity to draw or paint like some others, may come to recognize that they are artists, that they are creators. It is as though the entire lesson is a kind of assistive technology for these students. (4.2) And I would hope it might inspire them to continue to create.
I did add quite a few features to enhance the UDL of this lesson as well, though space constraints prevent me from detailing them all. But I would have to say my favorite is Step 9. By adding an option for public display of their creations, student choice and autonomy are enhanced (7.1) and the lesson takes on an added relevance in the real world. (7.2) By making the product of this lesson authentic, the lesson becomes better for everyone. And I believe that is the goal of Universal Design for Learning.

The 500m stretch of towpath is part of a landscaping strategy that will create green open spaces for everyone in the local community. Landscaping works are progressing well and the towpath, which will link into a further network of footpaths and cycle ways across the site, is scheduled to open by the end of the year. The Grand Union Canal is an important part of our site's industrial heritage, so we want to make sure that it will also be part of the future, Paul Weston, Prologis UK Prologis Park West London is regenerating a 19th century brick field; one of the many that spread across Hillingdon to meet the growing demand for building materials during the Industrial Revolution. When the bricks had been fired in a clamp kiln, they were loaded onto barges and taken along the Grand Union Canal – or the Grand Junction Canal as it was originally called – to Paddington Basin. For the return journey, empty barges were filled with domestic and commercial waste from Central London and brought back to the brickfields. The refuse was sieved for unburnt coal that could be used in the brick making process and then taken to local landfill sites. "The renovation plans for the towpath have been developed in consultation with the Canal & River Trust and local people," continued Paul Weston. "Work on site is going well and the towpath will soon be open for cycling, running or just a quiet walk beside the water."

Best Storjcoinx Wallet Osx – Is Your Coin – TAN
Thank you for visiting The Affluence Network in search for "Best Storjcoinx Wallet Osx" online. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they be a part of more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be possibly used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it's a fact you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on Bitcoin, several of those sites you are required fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a fair investment strategy. Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more resistant to wild inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be attained by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't put your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the quantity of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all present bitcoins. This situation is just not to imply that markets usually are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there exists no need for big sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest events on the planet economy can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
Best Storjcoinx Wallet Osx: The Affluence Network – Where Your Minds Dreams Are Achieved
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making huge ammonts of money with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical achievement, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and lose out on very successful business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! Viewers incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It should be difficult to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having little gains is more rewarding than attempting to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to take a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in monies that never have made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. The creation of sites has changed many lives, but there's always a concern in regards to the security of sites. There are other people with ill intentions who will see what you're doing online. They can monitor your tendencies with time. Some of the things they are able to check online comprise seeing your on-line photographs, what you post online and even monitor your fiscal transitions over time with an aim of stealing from you. Even if there are many alternatives which have been implemented, there's always risk due to third parties. For instance, when purchasing online using a credit card, you will be giving away a lot of your private info to the third party. Additionally, there are transaction fees which make online payment expensive. When searching forBest Storjcoinx Wallet Osx, there are many things to think of.

Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce that sort of online money isn't handled by way of a central banking system and it is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a minimal amount of items, this cash's value is dependant on market forces, permitting owners to industry over cryptocurrency deals. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a particular address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is simply a representation of worth, but there is absolutely no genuine tangible kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting that the software settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This option also creates a secure flow of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to entirely block the wages. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of nature of the process in which it's transacted. All purchases on a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. Once youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short-term wherever your web visitors could dispute or desire a discounts, or use dishonest sleight of palm. In-practice, many professionals could be smart to make use of a cost processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto-currency transactions, you should make certain that safety is difficult. With any kind of crypto-currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers might gain access to your individual keys and so grab your cash. However, you most likely will never have it back. It is quite crucial for you really to follow some excellent secure and safe routines when coping with any cryptocurrency. This will protect you from many of these adverse events. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers argue that there's "actual" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period which is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some type of reward to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The person who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be just that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It really is also possible that the regulators simply don't comprehend the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act.

Best Storjcoinx Wallet Osx – The future is Now: The Affluence Network
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that offer long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the right area at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it operates, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it repaired. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these issues are worked out.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present inherent problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. You have probably seen this often times where you frequently distribute the good word about crypto. "It's not unpredictable? What goes on if the price crashes? " to date, several POS systems presents free transformation of fiat, improving some worry, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people will undoubtedly be reluctant to keep any. We have to find a way to combat the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. A lot of people choose to use a money deflation, notably those that want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; in case you are living paycheck to paycheck, it would happen included in your riches, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to operate or to cease operation.

Who Is Driving The Economy?
"I have... had a disturbing dream in which I break through a cave wall
near Nag Hammadi and discover urns full of ancient Coptic scrolls. As I
unfurl the first scroll, a subscription card to some Gnostic exercise
magazine flutters out."
Colin McEnroe.
Grow Your Own Economy Economically
I'm going to state right up front that I am not an expert inthe field of economics nor, am I a "How To Get Wealthy In X Many Daysguru. What I am is a woman who hasraised a family and who has had a hand in the founding and operating of threesmall companies. I am a woman that has beena good daughter, a loving sister and a loyal friend. I have sold products and services and I havepurchased products and services therefore I have both supplied and demanded.
Although pyramid schemes are supposedly not legal in mostplaces about our island, Earth it seems to me, I'm just saying, that our entireexistence is based on one big Pyramid scheme. The illusion in this scheme is that all the power is at the top so agreat deal of time, effort, and knowledge is applied to scaling thissucker. But when I look at it, reallyexamine it, I have come to think that all the power, and I do mean ALL OF THEPOWER is actually contained in the bottom of the pyramid.
Growing up as I did during the 50's and 60's in a small townin Northern British Columbia four hundred and eight-six miles north of anythingthat could be described as a city we did not have access to a lot of stuff butour family had all the basics required for the operation and maintenance ofphysical existence and then some. We didnot have television until I was thirteen and not because we couldn't afford onebut because there was no television station to broadcast. We had one local radio station. Basically the only advertising I was exposedcame to me by way of Spring, Fall, Winter and Christmas catalogues thatappeared on our doorstep at the appropriate time of year. By the time the next catalogue came along thelast one was tattered and dog eared.
We consume based on two things – our needs and ourwants. Needs being food, clothing andshelter and wants being all the rest of it. What those catalogues created in me, as a child, were wants. An example is the pictures of mothers anddaughters wearing the same outfits, matching dresses, matching pajamas,matching housecoats. I ached to have anoutfit just like my mother's, truly ached. When I presented this want to my mother she was appalled – she thoughtit was a dreadful idea. I thought it waswonderful and I ached with it all the way to my teens when I hit that stage inlife where my mother knew squat and she was the last person on earth I wantedto bear any likeness to let alone dress the same.
My true wants in life at that time were quite different fromthe artificial wants created in my by the outside influence of thecatalogue. I wanted to learn to read, Iwanted to learn to write, I wanted to be able to count and I wanted to havefriends. I wanted to be happy, I wantedto play outside, I wanted to love and be loved, I wanted to laugh and I wantedto make others laugh. As life went onmore and more artificial, created by others wants influenced my choices inlife. Some of these wants were createdby nameless, faceless others and some were created by people who were alsounder the influence of these same nameless and faceless entities. My "created as" self moved through lifeadding lists of wants as I went. Toooften these artificial wants left me with the same kind of ache - sometimesdull, sometimes sharp ache – that I experienced when I pulled the "I want todress like my mother" want out of a dog eared catalogue. My life got very busy attending to these artificialwants and about half way through it I found that regardless of what I had, theache only got bigger and more demanding.
I began looking, seriously looking for the reason that I hadgrowing in my solar plexus, an ever increasing vacuum that refused to befilled. I had a beautiful home, twochildren, two dogs, two cars, two televisions, two stereos, two sets offurniture; kitchen and dining room, living room and family room. It was a veritable Noah's Ark. I was faithfully feeding the top of thepyramid on a daily basis like any good citizen. Asking myself questions like, "What on God's green earth is the matterwith me?" and "Where did I go wrong?" did nothing to ease the situation. All such questions provided me with was anentire inventory of wrong answers. Ifelt increasingly powerless. Mydefinition of me was contained to wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend all ofwhich ended in apostrophe s, denoting that I identified myself by who Ibelonged to. I had little sense of selflet alone what my true wants for life and the living of it were. All this happened because I set off to scalesome pyramid and it wasn't even my own pyramid – it was a pyramid totallycreated by others and I had allowed myself to be totally created byothers. When I recognized that fact Iwas pretty ticked off!
The first rule in life, I discovered is you have to arrive –be there – where ever that is right here, right now. Then you have to look at the position you areholding. Is it a position you need tohold, want to hold or is it a position that was created for you by others? So here's where the power is at the bottomcomes into play in the grand economic scheme of things. The people at the bottom of the pyramid startasking each other "Who are you?" and keep asking it until the YOU is no longerburied under a pile of identities and labels. Then the unburied You(s) can ask themselves and each other "Where areyou?" and keep asking until the answer is more optimum that I'm at the bottomof someone else's bloody pyramid – Here would be the ideal answer. Find out what you and others true wantsare. Ask, what part of achieving thosewants are you willing to be responsible for? What part of achieving those wants are you not willing to be responsiblefor? And keep asking those questionsuntil you get right down to the basics of that which you truly have controlover and then let the rest go.
The pyramid is only as strong as the base upon which itsits. If we individually andcollectively wake up and start operating in life as ourselves and start workingtogether with others who are operating as themselves combined with identifyingour own and others authentic wants wecan literally move mountains and create lives that are worth living. We can drive our own buses instead of goingalong for the ride. We can invest ourtime, money and energy into people who and things that really matter to usrather than investing it in some artificial want created by some faceless,nameless entity. If we shake up thebottom the top has to change.
I recall reading that a fellow by the name of Jesus isreported to have said some two thousand plus years ago, "I am the way". Well I am and you are and I get to and youget to choose the way! It seems to methat this would be the most economical way to handle economics! It also seems to me that the words, "many arecalled but few are chosen" could be taken to mean that we have all heard,regardless of religion, the words "I am the way" but too few of us have chosento heed them. I'm just saying.

Playing with canvas
I have been following Scrap Scene's forecasts for trends in paper arts. I am so glad to see canvas and canvas papers coming more and more into use. I discovered how versatile canvas was about three years ago when I was experimenting with printing photos on mediums other than matte and glossy paper. I was working on a circle album of our trip to Italy and the glossy papers didn't capture the richness of the colors and the matte didn't have the texture I wanted so I went roaming through the art aisle at the local craft and art stores. By trial and error, I discovered a couple of papers that worked wonderfully. They also held color when I wanted to add either more to a black and white photo or when I wanted to enhance a color photo.
I found that the 136lb. Canva-Paper by Canson to be my favorite. The texture is wonderful and the printed photos don't take as long to dry as some of the thicker, more absorbent ones. I do use an acrylic sealer on the photo after I have color enhanced it and handle it with care until I can seal it.
My other favorite paper is one by June Tailor. I had been using an adhesive backed one by another company but found that June Tailor's adhesive backed canvas went through the printer smoother and held better. put The iron-on material ones are awesome too by June Tailor and the ones I get from Close to My Heart. Pam Bennett from KnK and ACOT design teams, turned me on to June Tailor and I order my others from Michele Lunn (link on the left) here in the Tampa area.
The paints I have found to give the best color are Lyra Aquacolor (made in Germany), Pearlescent Watercolors by Yasutomo, Lumieres, Krylon ink, and Dr. Ph Martin's Iridescent Calligraphy inks and now a new one, Prang Metallic Brush Pens. I've also painted on Stickles to give a photo a light coating of sparkle.
Since the canvases are on sale this week at my craft store, I think I may just look for some odd shaped ones, download some vintage images and play. Care to join me?

I have had some luck finding some different sized and shaped canvases at Big Lots lately. You might try them and they are CHEAP.

Yesterday, I journeyed to Towson and back to meet the new bundle of joy that is my nephew, Greyson. At 8 pounds 12 ounces, he's on his way to being a linebacker, but even though he weighs more than a gallon of milk, everything about him still seems so tiny.
Greyson is now one of three nephews and one niece that I reign supreme aunthood over and having been in the aunt game since I was eight years old, I have long gone pro status.
Greyson is the first niece or nephew that has been born in my adult life, and I can't help but marvel how much different it is to meet a new child now that I am no longer a child. When my oldest sister had my niece, I was still in elementary school and, I remember holding this tiny baby in my arms and thinking – I am an aunt! Oh snaps, I am going to be the coolest person in the third grade. I wonder if Digimon is on tonight.
However, as an adult, it was a much different experience to hold my nephew in my arms.
For the first time in my life, I saw the briefest glimpse of what it means to be a parent as I felt an unmistakable spark of fear when realizing that this tiny human in my arms will soon grow and grow, only to eventually walk into the world on his own.
I also felt the biggest sense of elation for my sister and her husband. There are some people and couples that you know will make great parents, and from the moment my sister told me she was pregnant, I knew she and my brother-in-law were going to raise an amazing son.
I really can't wait to watch Greyson grow up. But, if there is one thing that has made me realize that I too am growing older, it is watching the infants that I once held in my arms growing along with me.
