I have been pretty quiet on here lately as I've been hiding away making things ready for Christmas and voila!I made this little ring out of fine silver chain and some matching boxes to go-with, made from old book pages. These two were from an old Danish copy of Ivanhoe!If you would like one you can find the link here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SmukkeSmykke:)
Shortly before I left my dear Copenhagen there was an amazing festival on called Images Festival which took over Dronning Louises Bro and celebrated multiculturalism and world everything.
At the bottom of the bridge by the neon Irma signs they had a brilliant little setup called 'Remake' where they had lots of recycled activities, free found food and my personal favourite, a little odds and ends jewellery station where I made these little guys. I realised that all you need is a little drill with a 1.5mm bit, a glue gun, some funny little plastic things and jewellery bits and hours of fun can be had!
The best part of this was seeing everyone getting involved, not just children (who were surprisingly in the minority) but grannies, hipsters and stoners alike. Some truly awesome quirky crap was being created a la above.
(The middle thing is a candle holder btw.)
This was pinned up in a lovely bookshop called 'Rubaeks Boger' on Jaegersborggade. I thought that it summed up a real truth of the world.
The shop is run by two friends who offered us free juice, played records from their little collection of David Bowie, Lou Reed and Dolly Parton and generally liked my friend and I just hanging out and chatting about books, music and Copenhagen. And I also bought a great book from them with cuttings from Vanity Fair from 1920-1939 which had some great pictures and funny little articles in it.
I'm hoping that nice places like this continue to pop up and survive, that's the great thing about Copenhagen, small businesses aren't completely drowned out by the big bosses just yet.

The Burning House
I spent this morning browsing through the archives of The Burning House, an on-going photographic project who ask:
"If your house was burning, what would you take with you? It's a conflict between what's practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed into one question."
So I decided to do my own. Granted I'm assuming it's from my Copenhagen apartment where I have much less sentimental things than at my Parents house. I am a hoarder though so this still wasn't easy.
1) Oversized Animal Teacups
2) Photograph of my Mother and my Nana
3) English and Danish keys
4) English and Danish Wallets
5) Jewellery Tin (with contents)
6) Portable knife / Wonder Tool
7) Viewfinder and slides
8) Playing Cards
9) Peanut Butter M&Ms
10) Altoids Tin with Hair Clips in
11) Passport
12) Notebooks and Muji Pen
13) My Nana's cardigan which is the comfiest thing I own
14) The Warmest Gloves
15) Jars of hand-carved skulls from Tibet and Vintage 70's plastic Cowboys and Indians from a flea-market
The Simpler Rings
I was experimenting with these simple rings back over Christmas and now the sun is out I've been sitting in it and making some more. They can be layered up or worn on their own, placed on the crown of a pinky or wrapped around a thumb. I also made a couple with maple leaves on 'cus damn I love my leaves.Waddaya think?x.
Swan Lake
On Saturday evening a friend and I were enjoying the last of the days sunshine on the bridge with a bottle of cava to boot and opposite our bench a curious sight was taking place.
A swan was sitting on the foot path. Upon further observation we reasoned that it was probably sick. We then noticed the gathering of people cordoning off the swan, asking passers-by kindly to stay outside of their cordon to give the sick bird some space.
The ring-leader of this operation was a brilliant fellow with a raggedy fur hat, a pipe held in his gloved hand, his smoke drifting from behind a wise beard-and-moustache combo as the Copenhagen sun set behind him, glinting off of his round spectacles.
There seemed to be a spirit of HC Andersen in that moment, the man himself lying at peace not a mile north of the happening.
We sat back observing and drinking our bottle of cava happy to be alive and in the here and now in this beautiful country.
A Goonsquad Birthday Party
Easter weekend marked the beginning of my dear friend's 26th year and to celebrate I spent the week DIY-ing bright coloured eggs and homemade confetti a la OhHappyDay to make a great easter egg hunt! The eggs were hidden around the botanic gardens with a little chick to guard each egg, one of which was a special golden glitter filled specimen.
Due to the slight bought of snow that day however we saved the egg smashing for the night-time revelry in our favourite meat packing haunt and headed for a warming Irish coffee at Din Nye Ven instead. Needless to say the glitter is still in scalps and in the gaps between floorboards around the city a week and a half later.(Photos by the birthday girl @fayoonao herself)
It's always nice to get things in the post(even if it was a couple of weeks ago now, shh!)
Everyone should send more letters x.
I just stumbled across these beautiful matchbox labels, collected, curated and shared by someone called Shailesh Cavdar. They have been organised into country of origin which makes for interesting cultural observation, and I think that the India folder is one of my favourites, especially the printed photos of Bollywood stars.
I've always found it interesting how classic matchboxes remain, retaining dignity and beauty in their timeless design whilst retaining simplicity that is often overlooked, hidden in kitchens, camping sets and the pockets of smokers.

Night has fell upon a frost.

Silence now before the icey rain.
Surrender as my nervous teeth chatter.
For the warmth of a home is all that is desired.
My empty haven.
But,I am filled with a heart that is full.
Want nor wait.
Arms now cover me like a blanket.
Gust of wind has carried your unwaivered heart.
Candles lit a way to find what is left.
Merely an image of what once was.
Break down into a sob.
Remains frozen solid as climate has taken its' vengence.
I suffer no more,weak body.
Now only in spirit.
Shall I rest.

Let's go to the replay: 2012
A look back at the stories that made headlines in the Mukwonago Chief in 2012:
Free enterprise
Mukwonago junior Abby Jadgfeld took a huge step forward as the Waukesha South/Mukwonago co-op repeated as state champion in the WIAA Division 1 state meet. Jagdfeld won three state titles, including the 200-yard freestyle (1:47.67), the 100 free (50.54), and the 400 free relay (3:25.38), setting a state record in the 200 and helping her team edge Arrowhead, 279-273.
The Blackshirts also took second in the 200 free relay. Fellow Mukwonago swimmer Lizzy Baertlein took sixth in the backstroke and swam on the medley relay, which also placed sixth, and Megan Andersen qualified in the 500 free.
The boys are back
Mukwonago's boys basketball team seriously contended for a conference title in the Classic 8, a battle that went all the way down to a regular-season finale with Arrowhead. Though the Warhawks won in the sold-out Mukwonago gymnasium, the Indians recorded their first-ever winning record in Classic 8 play (11-3) and defeated the team that finished one game ahead, Milwaukee Pius, twice during the season.
The fun didn't end there. The Indians (19-7) marched all the way to the sectional final against Madison Memorial, taking a lead in the third quarter before falling, 57-52, at Kettle Moraine High School. The team brings almost its entire roster back this season, and after a 10-1 start, things look promising again for the Mukwonago boys.
On the girls side, Alexis McKeever took fourth in the high jump and Lissa Kranz placed seventh in the 100.
Field of Clay
Under first-year coach Clay Iverson, the Mukwonago football team took a lunge forward in 2012. The Indians defeated eventual Division 3 state champion Catholic Memorial during the regular season and reached the WIAA playoffs, finishing 5-4 - with two last-second losses among the setbacks.
Nathan Tanguay was named first team All State by the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association at defensive end, and linebacker Dominic Cizauskas was named honorable mention.
Lucky 13
The Mukwonago boys track and field team sent 13 entrants to the state meet and rampaged to a sectional title, with Mike McClain's second place in the pole vault leading the way at the year-end meet in La Crosse.
Zach Stockheimer took fifth in the discus, and Sam Wagner added seventh in the pole vault, as did Jeremy Harr in the triple jump.
The 4x200 relay broke the school record three times in the final month, with Branden Lloyd, Harr, Steve Phillips and Mitch Polk taking 10th place.
New faces on the pitch
The boys and girls soccer programs both got new leaders in 2012, with Katy Rosenbrook taking the reins of the girls program from John Spielmann (beginning with 2013 season) and Nate Johnson coaching his first year after replacing Shannon Schulte.
Johnson's team had an outstanding season, finishing 18-4-1 and appearing in the Division 1 sectional.
Spielmann was a pioneer for the soccer program,starting the boys team in 1981 and coaching them for 10 years before switching to the girls program. He finished 285-150-51 with 19 winning seasons and three state-tournament appearances.
Belich ringer
Muskego's Jordan Gruettner finished the year 44-0, but Luke Belich of Mukwonago gave it his best shot. The Indians 220-pound wrestler became the ninth Indians wrestler in the state championship match before falling via pin.
Belich finished the year 41-6, with half of those losses against Gruettner. He became the first wrestler from MHS in the finals since Billy Schlottke in 2008.
Heavyweight Tyler Ladwig finished the year 42-4, joining Belich and Dave Unger at the state meet.
Oh so close
The Kettle Moraine/Mukwonago/Oconomowoc boys hockey team came achingly close to its first state berth since 2007, taking a 2-1 lead on Marquette in the sectional final with 10:22 to play. But in a span of 92 seconds, Marquette scored the tying and go-ahead goal, ending the Lasers season at 22-4-1 - the second best mark in program history.
The co-op did win theClassic 8Conference title.
Third kind
Junior Abby Martin qualified for the WIAA Division 1 state golf meet for the third time in her career and could become the first four-time qualifier in program history next fall.
Martin shot 81 in Lake Geneva and grabbed the third and final individual qualifying spot from the sectional with a round of 81. The Indians, who went to the state meet in 2011, finished fourth at the sectional. Six of the team's top seven will return next season.
Triple play
Mukwonago's Jake Diesler will attempt to make the state tennis meet for a fourth straight year this spring after appearing as a junior in June. He finished 21-3, winning his first-round match before falling in three sets to Michael Treis of Brookfield Central, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
At one point, Diesler won 18 straight matches.
Mr. Mukwonago
Jay Christiansen, who once led the Mukwonago boys basketball team to the state championship game and still coaches the girls golf team, will also now handle the varsity baseball team. Christiansen inherited the reins from John Strohbusch, who stepped down to spend more time with his young family.

Former Indian telecommunications minister Andimuthu Raja, the central figure in an allegedly corrupt sale of phone licenses that crippled the government, was granted bail after spending 15 months in prison.
Judge O.P. Saini, who is hearing the trial of Raja, business executives and government officials charged with colluding to benefit from the allocation of second-generation airwaves in 2008, ordered Raja's release today on condition he surrender his passport and post a personal bond of 2 million rupees ($37,180). All the accused deny any wrongdoing.
Raja was the last of 14 charged in the case to be bailed, following the release of officials of Reliance ADA Group, Unitech Ltd. and DB Realty Ltd. The scandal triggered weeks of street protests last year and contributed to an 18-month slowdown in policy making by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government.
The Supreme Court in February canceled 122 licenses awarded in the sale to companies including Idea Cellular Ltd., and local partners of Norway's Telenor ASA and Russia's AFK Sistema. Scrapping the wireless permits, the nation's top court said the 2008 sale was "flawed" and influenced by those with "money power."
Raja was detained Feb. 2, 2011, on charges that he conspired to grant permits to unqualified companies for personal gain. He applied for bail this month, saying the case against him is "false and fabricated" and he sought parity with co- accused already freed from jail.
The nation's chief auditor in 2010 reported that the sale of airwaves lacked transparency and that ineligible bidders had bought spectrum at "unbelievably low" prices. The auditor said the award may have deprived the exchequer of as much as $31 billion, sparking the nation's biggest graft probe.
Three private companies -- Reliance Telecom Ltd., Unitech Wireless and Swan Telecom Pvt. -- are also among the accused.

Deconstructing The Lotus Seed: My Cheap Cambodian Thrill

Hariharalaya Retreat Centre: Getting Comfortable Outside My Comfort Zone
It's not my proudest moment when I say that I'm a city girl.
I don't like dirt, but it's something you can't avoid forever (something you can't avoid ever, actually) at Hariharalaya. Dirt is omnipresent, on the soles of my feet - people walk barefoot indoors and outdoors, underneath my fingernails, and the constant film of soil or sand or clay on my skin.
I'm not exactly the biggest fan of bugs either. Let me rephrase. I hate bugs, and the mere thought of some of them is enough to give me goose bumps.
Although I've explored yoga more in the Philippines 3 months before I left for my trip, and had 1 meditation session at White Space, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about being surrounded by what in my head would be hardcore hippie yogis, compounded by being away from home, and not knowing anyone, and not really having internet access.
Hariharalaya Retreat Centre - Siem Reap, Cambodia
Though words, pictures or videos cannot describe how at home, and at peace I found myself at Hariharalaya where I spent most of my first two weeks of travel, I try to capture a bit of that in this inspired video. And I can only hope that when I do visit them again (as I'm sure I will be back), that I will feel just as at home then. :)

Death & Despedidas: Pre-departure Week in Manila
The other morning, over my scrumptious vegan breakfast here at Hariharalaya, my "housemates" Joel & Nick briefly conversed about death, and how for some people, speaking about it is taboo, when in fact it is an idea we should embrace. Personally, I believe that the acknowledgment of death around the corner just helps us live our lives more fully.
Ready to Fly or Die
This may sound a bit melodramatic to more seasoned solo and/or long-term travelers, but in the last week prior to my departure for my 2.5-month solo trip around Asia, I really felt like I was preparing for my demise.
My "Epic Adventure": Turtle Travel
Everyone's been wishing me well on this "epic adventure" I'm embarking on, and I'm sure it will be, but we all have subjective definitions of what an "epic adventure" is, but believe it or not, prior to my arrival here at Siem Reap, I only really had in my head that I would spend my first day here watching Season 4 of Breaking Bad. And followers of the series will know just what an epic adventure THAT is. Haha.
I actually wound up doing a DIY Nomad Manager Cambodian Arts & Crafts Walking Tour though, but that's not my point here.
This is just me wanting to manage the expectations of people following this blog and people saying I should do this or that. I plan to discover things about Cambodia (and Thailand, Myanmar/Laos, and Sri Lanka later in this trip), meet new people, but all at my own pace (which is akin to turtle-paced travel), and not in some frenzy as if my life depended on stepping foot on each and every tourist attraction.
Day 1 (Part 3 of 3): A Surprise Cambodian Arts & Crafts Reprise
After my walk to Siem Reap's Old Market for beautiful textile products galore, I decided to continue walking on to Artisans d'Angkor, which I spotted on my map and was naturally intrigued by. Again, I don't really remember how long I was walking, but it was probably around 15 minutes away from the Old Market.
I didn't realize it was one of the very same places I visited some 5 years ago on a very touristy trip to Siem Reap with my parents and their badminton friends. I was still glad to be there to admire yet again and be able to share it with you, my lovely readers.

'Bachelor' Bad Girl Courtney Robertson's Inner Winner Secrets
Written on June 19, 2014 at 9:54 am , by Lauren Cardarelli
Flip open any dictionary and you'll find "villain" to be defined as some version of "an uncouth person who does bad things." But when we sat down to chat with notorious Bachelor contestant Courtney Robertson about her new memoir, I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends, the alleged villain wasn't the reality TV rogue the media has cast her as over the years. In fact, Courtney was quite the opposite—sweet and sincere, bubbly and funny with a confidence that somehow shined brighter than her dewy complexion. "I learned a long time ago that I can't be anyone other than me," our April 2011 cover model told us. "I've learned to embrace and love myself for all the parts that make me, me—flaws and all!" Preach, girlfriend. Preach.
The past few years haven't been easy, Courtney admitted, and her short—but very public—relationship with season 16 Bachelor Ben Flajnik cued a barrage of backlash and gossip when it ended privately. To set the record straight once and for all, not to mention give fans an inside look of what the showmance is really like, Courtney shared her love story in book form for your beach bum pleasure. "I was trampled in the press and I had people that I've never met writing about me, pretending they knew my story. I decided to take matters into my own hands," she said with conviction, adding that it was a very cathartic process.
So how does Courtney brush off the haters? Positive thinking is key, she dished—only you can control your own attitude and happiness. "I always try to put on a happy face and act like my best self even if I'm exhausted or have had a stressful day," Courtney told us. "You never know why someone feels the need to be mean or hurtful. I try to be brave and put on my big girl panties." Humor has also become a coping mechanism. "The best thing to do in uncomfortable situations is address the awkwardness in all of its glory," she said. "I just remind myself that it will make for a great story to tell my grandkids someday!"
It doesn't hurt that she has a killer bod, too. (Insert girl envy here.) The LA-based model tries to squeeze a cardio workout in every day—even if it's just a 20-minute walk around the block—and lives by the motto "a little goes a long way." Courtney's go-to gym routine includes 10 minutes on the StairMaster, 2 miles on the Elliptical and treadmill interval training followed by a stretching sesh. Before calling it a day, she'll also crank out a quick circuit of push-ups (on her knees), butt raises, wheelhouse crunches and squats…15 each! And we all know that a solid diet is the key to success too, and Courtney swears by a clean-but-not-"perfect" diet. Instead, she "tries her best" on most days and allows for the occasional indulgence. "I enjoy pizza, Thai food and, of course, a good bottle of wine." A girl after our own hearts.
Get more of Courtney's tips and tricks (oh, and you know, The Bachelor dirt and dramedy you've always craved!) in her new memoir, on sale June 24.

FITNESS Cover Model on "The Bachelor"
Written on January 4, 2012 at 4:30 pm , by Christie Griffin
In case any of you watched the premiere of "The Bachelor" on Monday night and kept thinking the gorgeous model, Courtney, looked familiar…you were right. The 28 year-old brunette stunner was on the cover of our April 2011 issue!
Argy Koutsothanasis, our Fashion Director, remembers Courtney's photo shoot well, which took place nearly a year ago at the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico. Courtney was a last-minute fill-in for the cover photo shoot and was booked just days before flying out.
"It was her first-ever magazine cover shoot and she seemed more nervous than the other two girls who were being considered," Argy says. "But even though she hadn't quite found her groove as a model yet, you couldn't tell once the final photos came in."
The Oakley bikini Courtney wore for the cover was chosen by the stylists because it complimented her athletic figure. Argy also revealed that Courtney "had a hard time doing 'sexy,' at the time."
She must've worked on it, because she certainly has some smoldering looks on the hit reality TV show! As for her flattering figure, Courtney reportedly ate healthier than some models do, and was "definitely into working out."
A few more pics of the model who is turning Ben Flajnik's head and (probably) making other contestants jealous:

Metro riders can expect to pay more for their trips starting July 1, after a Metro committee approved of a slate of fare hikes on Thursday.
The hikes still need the rubber stamp of a full board vote later this month, but the unanimous approval at the committee level signals it will pass.
Under the plan, peak rail fares are rising 5.7 percent from a minimum of $1.95 to $2.10, The maximum fare rises to $5.75.
But riders will no longer have to pay the 20-cent peak of the peak surcharge for the busiest times of day.
Off-peak riders will pay from $1.70 to $3.50.
Bus riders will pay a dime extra, meaning $1.60 for SmarTrip riders and $1.80 for those paying cash.
The biggest change, though, will hit the less frequent riders who use paper farecards on the rail system. They will now pay $1 extra for each trip.
The hikes are somewhat tempered from initial proposals: bus riders who pay cash won some reprieve getting a fare hike of a dime, not 30 cents as proposed and MetroAccess riders will still pay double rail and bus fare but the fares will be capped at $7.

Harbor Freight Gets Up In Your Grill
Surfing for BBQ-ing tips the other day, I wandered into some chat forums where it's "All-Barbecue, All the Time." Make no mistake, those "Q-ers" are serious about cooking their meat. The best cuts, types of fuel, which wood for smoking, the tools, curing, venting, seasoning & preparing, temps and times. To them, grilling a steak is like customizing a car– the body may be pretty, but it's all about what goes under the hood.
Not happy with their out-of-the-box units, some guys retrofit their BBQ grills (as I said, like a car). For example, Phil Lee of Hawg Heaven Smokin' Barbecue modified his smoker…
…with 10" air tires (#30900) to better deal with mobility on lawns, parks, campsites and such.
My favorite modification is the BBQ trailer: A Q-er will either remove the legs from their BBQ grill, and then bolt or weld them onto a utility trailer, or build one up from scratch–making them über-mobile! Here's a great example of a customized, homemade barbecue trailer– created by a fellow named Spankerchief– on SmokingMeatForums.com…
…using the Haul-Master 1720 Lb. Capacity Super Duty 48″ X 96″ Utility Trailer with 12" Wheels (#94564). In fact, every BBQ forum I clicked on had at least one thread where an adventurous "trailer Q-er" incorporated a Haul-Master utility trailer from Harbor Freight. Several put their projects together using the popular & affordable Chicago Electric 90 Amp Flux Wire Welder (#68887).
The online BBQ cooks were all loaded for bear with gear that supported their grilling operations. The Propane Torch with Igniter (#91037) was a favorite– for its turbo performance and for its great, low price. The Instant Read Digital Thermometer (#95382) was also popular, for its accuracy and, again, price. Also included were the Compact Food Slicer (#42787), Electric Meat Grinder (#99598) and plenty of protective wear like nitrile, PVC-dipped and/or welding gloves.
Needless to say, I was bitten by the BBQ bug and ended up getting a "barrel-style" barbecue grill with smoker side box, as well as the igniter and thermometer. I also picked up this pair of welding gloves, and, of course, a BBQ cookbook. I'll probably get the 10" wheels next (they look cool).
Now all I have to do is experiment on the meat and hope I don't burn anything vital… like Sunday dinner.

My Favorite Children's Book: Darby Stickler
My children's favorite books:
• Morgan (5, almost 6): Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books. (We have just recently started reading these at night to the girls and Morgan especially can hardly wait to "read a chapter" every night!)
• Paige (4): Rosemary Wells' Bunny Cakes
• John Martin (2): He loves anything by Scarry... they usually have trucks, airplanes, tractors and big machines. He not only loves to be read to, but he can also sit and look for a long time.
A children's book illustrator I adore: Can I have a three-way tie? If so, it's a toss up between Eloise Wilkins, Alexandra Day (We LOVE Carl!!), & Rosemary Wells!
If my life so far were turned into a children's book the title would be: What Did I Used to Do All Day? (My days are so full, I can hardly remember the days before children, they fill me up in more ways than one and life is so much richer with them in our lives!)
Thanks Darby!
More Darby: See the glorious makeover of Darby's kids' bathroom here. Her blog, Fly Through Our Window, is equal parts inspiration (sewing and recipes), hilarity (I'm still chuckling about John Martin's spring haircut) and portrait of a fun, loving (and fun-lovin') family.

Oh, we loved the Richard Scarry books too! I showed my husband one a few weeks ago and had such fun explaining about Lowly Worm.
Richard Scarry books are the absolute best. Best! I have all of mine and cannot WAIT to share them with my little boy! Who doesn't love Huckle??
We love love love Richard Scarry books! Both, my husband and I still have our Scarry books from when we were kids and our kids love looking at the pictures in them!

Comment: What would be wrong with more requirements? (Score 2) 105
The constitution is there to limit government. There is nothing wrong with limiting government more than the bare minimum limits defined by the constitution. In fact, I would say there is a good case today for rewriting the constitution using far more strict, unambiguous modern language with far more limitations than it currently has.

The Last Bookstore Show? Larry McMurtry downsizes
Booked Up, the famed book city created by Larry McMurtry, is about to significantly decrease its footprint in Archer City, Texas.
In August a public auction will be held on site to release 350,000 books into the wild. The announcement, which was posted on Booked Up's website, makes it clear that this is less a negative event then an opportunity for many of the books McMurtry has acquired through his long bookselling career to find new homes. Over the years McMurtry has secured the inventory of 26 bookshops and close to 200 personal libraries.
I suspect that since the advent and domination of online bookselling the amount of visitors, especially other booksellers, to Archer City has decreased and much of the material has not circulated at the rate it had in the past.
As McMurtry relates perfectly in his comment on the upcoming sale:
The several hundred thousand books that we are putting in play constitute a kind of anthology of American bookshops past.
So why push them out? Because we believe that in the book world migration is healthy: old pages await new eyes.
By releasing the 350,000 books McMurtry is "flooding into the great river of books that delights and refreshes."
Booked Up will continue operating and carry an inventory of 150,000 books and remains on the list of places every book lover should visit.

Today's verses are Mark 11:7-9: "And they brought the colt to Jesus and thew their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
Jesus had instructed two of his disciples to go to a specific location. There they would find a colt which had never been ridden. They were to take it. When asked by the owner why they were doing this, they were simply to respond that the Master needed it. The owner would permit it.
They did so. Then they brought the colt to Jesus. He sat upon it and began his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This was in specific fulfillment of Messianic prophecies in Isaiah 62:11 and in Zechariah 9:9: "Say to the daughter of Zion, behold, your king is coming to you you, humble and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden."
The first phrase, "daughter of Zion," comes from Isaiah 62:11 and is reference of those living in Jerusalem. "And on a colt," from Zechariah 9:9, shows his humility. He chose to ride an insignificant, young colt, not the white horse fit for a military king. This was yet another signal that Jesus' kingdom was not one of power and pride but humility.
The "cloaks on the road" and the "leafy branches" symbolized the people's conviction that Jesus was a conquering military hero, ready to free them from the oppression of the Romans. The palm branches expressed Jewish nationalism and victory. They were connected with prominent, previous Jewish victories, especially the Maccabean revolt against Rome that occurred some 150 years earlier. Pictures of palms were common, even on Jewish coinage and in synagogue decoration, a Jewish way to remember these previous victories!
The people also cried out, "Hosanna!" It comes from Psalm 118:25 and means "Save!" or "Please save!" It is a term of celebration, again, of Jesus being a political savior in the line of King David. "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord," is from Psalm 118:25,26 and is a prayer of blessing upon their purported savior.
As Jesus rode into Jerusalem, it occurred at the beginning of Passover week. This would bring to mind to everyone present the Jewish people's liberation from Egyptian slavery, what Passover remembered. If Jesus is indeed the Messiah, the people are convinced now is the time when he will liberate them from Roman oppression.
Their cry to Jesus for salvation was right and true. What they failed to realize was that the deliverance was not from Roman oppression but from Satan, sin and death. All unrighteousness is about to be put under the feet of their true Savior. But it's not going to happen the way they'd anticipated.
Why did Jesus put up with their wrong interpretation of his identity? There can be only one answer: he tolerated it to fulfill Zechariah 9:9. He knew he was a different kind of Savior than what the people were wanting and expecting.
Nevertheless he permitted it. Why? It's because God is in control of everything. Every detail, every part of God's world, every prophecy in the Old Testament about Messiah (and there were hundreds of them), had to be fulfilled. Jesus is showing that everything is under God's perfect, sovereign control. As someone said, "If one atom is outside God's perfect control, then every atom is outside God's perfect control." If even one Old Testament prophecy is not fulled in Jesus, then none of the prophecies are fulfilled in Jesus.
What is your greatest worry today? If you trust the Lord for your life and eternal salvation, it's under his control. Trust him. He knows what is occurring to you. He is not surprised. He is using it for his purposes and your eventual good. You may not understand it. That's okay. The people here in the Triumphal Entry didn't understand either. But God is still in control…of everything…in his universe…including your life…and this present problem that is causing your heart to hurt.
Give the problem to him today. Trust him.
That's all he asks.

Love this colour! I'm a sucker for blue polishes. I have put off buying this colour for a long time but finally caved a couple of weeks ago and I do not regret. It's such a versatile colour, it's lovely for the spring and summer because of the nice glowy finish it gives. But that maybe because I'm in a non spring colour phase right now. And I would imagine it lovely for the fall and winter as well. I'm usually against finishes that are not creme polishes but after this one I might have to pick up sexy divide which also has a similar finish.

Perfect royal blue color, reminiscent of the dark blue sea. It gives a sheen that makes your nails appear as if they are sapphires. The color is opaque from just one coat and dries quickly. The finish is a slightly metallic and glossy, not frosty.
There is no streaking. This color looks just as great on the hands as it does on the feet. Perfect for the summer tan or to brighten up a pale complexion. I don't even like blue or colorful nailpolishes, but this one sold me.
I would repurchase. But there is a lot in this bottle. The color reminds me of the Lancome French Riviera nail polish colors that are hot this summer.

LOVE this polish!! The application is smooth, opaque in 2 coats, dries quickly, and the color is very flattering to most skin tones! I am wearing it now, and its great for the winter, but I cannot wait to wear this in the summer!
My only negative about this polish is that it does not dry to a high gloss/mirror finish like I was hoping, but it is nothing a coat of essie's top coat can't fix :)

This royal blue polish is one of my favorite polishes for summer, on my tips or on my toes. The formula is great and the color is blue without being super bright. By contrast, Orly's Royal Navy can look dark in low light.
Aruba Blue is a perfect blue, and does not lean green or purple at all.

Where to begin with this amazing polish?! This is hands down my favorite dark blue polish ever. Aruba Blue makes my nails look like sapphires! The first time I saw it, it immediately caught my eye and I just knew I had to have it.
It has a bit of a frost/metallic finish. The formula is a breeze, application is super smooth and you only need two coats max for full opacity. Also, there is minimal to no streaking. I can't wait for sandal weather again, because I know I'll be rocking Aruba Blue on my feet all summer long.
Formula-wise, Essie can be hit or miss depending on the shade (for me, at least), but this one is fabulous.
An absolutely beautiful color with an amazingly workable formula? I'm sold!

I could sing praise for this gorgeous polish all day long. From the very first time I saw this on the shelf in the store, I was amazed, and I just knew that I had to have it. Aruba Blue is this very dark, deep blue navy color with a subtle lighter blue metallic shimmer. There is just so much dimension to this polish that I don't think I'll ever stop using it (and I would really freak out if Essie ever stopped making this color). It's not just one shade. Depending on the angle and lighting in which I looked at this color, it looked different, which is just amazing. The formula was the perfect consistency (not stubbornly thick, but just thin enough for spreading), which helped get the flawless, shiny finish (even without top coat) that I love, and the color was opaque in just one coat! The brush also helped because it's thick and wide enough to cover each nail quickly, easily, evenly, but also cleanly, so there wasn't much clean up involved afterwards. Also, I wore Aruba Blue for a good 7 days without chipping, so this polish is worth every penny!

Beautiful shimmery metallic looking royal blue polish. It looks fabulous on nails, but takes FOREVER to dry! I ended up getting scratches on the surface of my nails even though I was careful. It has also chipped at the top of my nails after one day, but I change my colour every few days anyway so it's not so much of an issue for me.

Love this beautiful royal blue. So bright and eye-catching! It's so glow-y it's almost metallic-looking. This color grabbed my attention from the first time I saw it in the store, it really stands out. And now that I'm wearing it I've decided it's one of my favorite polishes, and I own close to 100. One of Essie's best!

This is my first Essie nail polish, I simply adore OPI and Chanel. Forgot to bring nail polish on a sleep over and went to a drug store and Essie was the only quality brand they had. Aruba Blue is a gorgeous blue which really stands out due to the brightness of it. I can see this working on all skin tones. It's a happy, royal and charming colour. Every time I wear it I receive a compliment. The Essie brush is quite wide which makes for an easy application. You could get away with one coat but I love two coats. It has a high sheen so you don't have to use a top coat if you use top coat for sheen. I'm very pleased with the purchase and wear it often.

First off, you overstate your case. Not every MMO has a 'dps-to-heal' class.
More to the point, to fit in WoW, monks need to be able to successfully heal 5-mans as well as handle tank healing and raid healing, even if others are somewhat better at some of these tasks. That is, they can't be ONLY a backup healer. If they can't main heal, too, then the spec fails.
We've already seen the existing healers get nerfs because too much of their healing is 'smart;' in fact, we've got more nerfs incoming in 4.3 for that very reason. No way Blizzard is going to base a class's heals exclusively, or even mostly, around smart heals.
And they've already told us they like the current healing model, which among other things means mistweavers are surely going to have a slow, weak, efficient heal, a fast, stronger, very inefficient heal, and a slow, very strong heal, all directly targeted. Admittedly, they could turn out like druids and only rarely use the baseline heals.

Cudahy High School's SMART Team Debuts With Success
This past summer, with a dozen Cudahy High School students, Cudahy High School science teacher Dan Koslakiewicz started a SMART (Students Modeling A Research Topic) Team.
The group of students has begun their work with a challenging research and competition activity. In essence, the SMART Team will work cooperatively with a professor from the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) on a research project. Throughout the school year, competitions will be held to assess the progress of the different teams in the area. In total, about two to three dozen area schools are involved with this activity.
As the school year progresses, more information will be shared regarding the team's work. Check out this link to monitor Cudahy's progress: http://cbm.msoe.edu/stupro/smart/local/progress.html

Speaker, Author, Entrepreneur, Assoc.Professor, Kyraocity Works
This conversation is closed.
How does the status quo design of student - faculty interactions diminish innovation in the classroom? How to hack higher ed?
This Live Conversation with TED Fellow Kyra Gaunt will open on June 15th, 1pm EDT.
Note: Conversation has been extended until June 17th.
There are many TED talks about innovation in education, but most focuses on K-12 education. There are also amazing talks about breaking the code on our relationship to work, to learning, and to our application of knowledge (aka wisdom).
Students call me Professor G. I am a professor of anthropology, ethnomusicology and racism studies. I am also a 2009 TED Fellow. My students in cultural anthropology are interested in engaging the TED community in a conversation around how to hack the design of the higher ed classroom where emerging adults and their supposed mentors, if a design was scalable, could truly become the consumers of their own productivity as students.
My aim as a professor is to help students realize they are great students, great citizens and great human beings NOW not after graduation.
To truly explore this question, we need diverse perspectives and we intend to discover the power of extending the classroom beyond its four walls with a weekly TED conversation around a question related to hacking the higher ed classroom.
What if the classroom interactions were designed for sustainability, for curiosity, and for innovating thinking? What would we talk about? What could we talk about? And wouldn't we talk about anymore?
Consider grading (but we do need so way to measure accurate thinking). Consider the power dynamics of the student-teacher conversation around grades, assignments, and dialogue. And consider the role of the repositories of knowledge and experience that often goes unnoticed, the students themselves.
Do we need textbooks anymore? Would Google and the students' experience be enough in an anthropology or social science course? #justaskin
Also consider issues of ethnic and gender representation relative to issues of power and training emerging adults to be leaders in a globalizing world.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 17 2012: To entirely explore this question, I divide this topic into two parts. The first part is reformation of the classroom design, and the second part is innovation of teaching.
The classroom is a space for student to learn, to meet, to think. U-shape is one of the ideal classrooms that gives student a lot of inspires and emphasize the position of teacher/professor simultaneously. Student can discuss with each other face to face, and teacher is more freely to move and help them.
I am taking professor Gaunt's Anthropology class this summer, and she is the most understanding, creative and friendly professor I've ever met. She is trying to encourage student to be the consumer of their own productivity by saying that "Hello, great ones" in the beginning of every class. It really helps students to have good start of a day and value themselves. On the other side, I like this small classroom for a summer course, and we did a lot of communications during class. Without doubt, it is the best way to meet new people and expand our social network. I had a lot of class which professor only focused on lecture, so I did know anyone after finished the whole semester. Prof G. uses Facebook, email and other NetTools to keep in touch with student, and she said she prefers student to text massage to her, so she can respond us as soon as possible. According to my personally experience, there are only few professors/teachers would like students to disrupt their private lives. Therefore, I can say professor Gaunt is the unique! She really cares about student, not only their grade but also their future!

Category name i.e.HOME OFFICE
The new iMac is full of visual allure derived from its metal-and-glass unibody chassis. Like all modern Apple products, it promotes an understated design that continues to look good despite its age, evoking quality craftsmanship through premium materials and intelligible construction. Unlike its Windows rivals, sublime looks aren't limited to the screen alone, with the keyboard and mouse perpetuating its charisma.
Of course, some customers will be deterred by the iMac as it runs Apple's OS X software. Whereas Windows can effortlessly create professional content, OS X will appeal to customers who have an interest in multimedia creation, with its suite of easy-to-use photo, video and music editing software. Loyal Apple fans who have committed to an iPhone, iPod or iPad may see sense in buying an iMac as it plays a pivotal role in the Apple ecosystem.
Our iMac review unit featured an Intel Core i7 processor operating at 3.4GHz, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 250GB SSD and a 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6970M graphics card. More intensive users can up the RAM to 16GB, the hard drive to 2TBs and nominate the 2GB graphics card if they see fit, but for most day-to-day duties, ranging from web browsing, music management, video editing and your social networking, this set does just fine.
A 27 inch Apple iMac can be picked up from a deceptively reasonable $1,950, but once you start nominating extras—tinkering with different configurations—the price quickly rises. As an example, our higher up review unit barely scrapped in under $3,400, proving more expensive than similarly spec'd Windows alternatives.
Although it has the hardware to handle console-grade games, the iMac stumbles as a gaming device as it lacks the software support akin to Windows. In this category, game enthusiasts would be better serviced with a conventional Windows offering.
The iMac's screen merits its own mention due to its 2560 x 1440 resolution. The display articulates images and videos with utter clarity, while LED backlighting ensures colour is vivacious and spans a vast gamut. It's such a shame the iMac isn't positioned as an entertainment device like its Windows alternatives, lacking the option of a Blu-ray Drive and HDMI port. Instead Apple fails to take advantage of the screen, preventing the iMac from being a versatile entertainment machine.
Elegantly concealed at the base of the iMac are potent speakers that are capable of holding their own when playing music. Focusing on sound reproduction rather than manipulation, they're powerful enough to fill an ordinary room with atmosphere and are as competent as you'd expect from an all in one PC.
Its keyboard and mouse are an extension of great design and are fit for duty. Keys respond to ginger input, while the mouse canvasses the screen effortlessly, responding eagerly to instruction.
One of the great things about the iMac is it manages to conceal invasive features, such as the disk drive and power button, in an effort to remain beautifully symmetrical. Finding the on button requires some groping (at the back of the bottom right corner) while connection ports can be subtly found at the bottom right hand side. The traditional Mini-Display port has been replaced by two new thunderbolt ports, which will transfer data across two channels at a rate of 10 gigabits per second. Furthermore, it also supports video, audio and power, replacing messy cabling with a single neat wire.
When it comes to design, Apple's iMac continues to set the benchmark beyond the reach of its Windows competitors. Every aspect of it—even the power cable—has been endlessly engineered to ensure it emanates allure without sacrificing performance. If you want a great all-in-one computer, the iMac deserves a look. But, if you want something a little more versed in entertainment, check out the Windows all-in-ones instead.

Jonestown and mass murder-suicide
In the summer of 1977, Jones and most of the 1,000 members of the Peoples Temple moved to Guyana from San Francisco after an investigation into the church for tax evasion was begun. Jones named the closed settlement Jonestown after himself. His intention was to create an agricultural utopia in the jungle, free from racism and based on quasi-communist principles. Jones told his followers to think of him as the incarnation of Christ and God. His followers were known to perform sex acts on him in front of the entire congregation. While the children watched, they were fed LSD and mushrooms, creating a feverish psychedelic environment.
People who had left the organization prior to its move to Guyana told the authorities of brutal beatings, murders and of a mass suicide plan, but were not believed. In spite of the tax evasion allegations, Jones was still widely respected for setting up a racially mixed church which helped the disadvantaged. Around 70% of the inhabitants of Jonestown were black and impoverished.
The religious scholar Mary McCormick Maaga argued that Jones' authority waned after he moved to the isolated commune, because there he was not needed anymore for recruitment and he could not hide his drug addiction from rank and file members. Consequently, he lost some of his power to inner-circle members, according to McCormick Maaga.
In November 1978, U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan led a fact-finding mission to the Jonestown settlement in Guyana after allegations by relatives in the U.S. of human rights abuses. Ryan's delegation arrived in Jonestown on November 14 and spent three days interviewing residents. They left hurriedly on the morning of Saturday November 18 after an attempt was made on Ryan's life. They took with them roughly twenty People's Temple members who wished to leave. Delegation members later told police that, as they were boarding planes at the airstrip, a truckload of Jones' armed guards arrived and began to shoot at them. When the gunmen left, five people were dead: Representative Ryan, a reporter from NBC, a cameraman from NBC, a newspaper photographer, and one defector from the Peoples Temple. The present-day California State Senator Jackie Speier, a staff member for Rep. Ryan in 1978, Richard Dwyer, the Deputy Chief of Mission from the U.S. Embassy at Georgetown and allegedly an officer of the Central Intelligence Agency, and a producer for NBC News, Bob Flick, survived the attack.
Later that same day, 909 of the remaining inhabitants of Jonestown, 276 of them children, died in what has commonly been labeled a mass suicide, although many who died were murdered. While some followers obeyed Jones' instructions to commit "revolutionary suicide" by drinking cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid, others died by forced cyanide injection or by shooting. Jones was found dead with a shot in the head, sitting in a deck chair. The autopsy on his body showed levels of the barbiturate pentobarbital that could have been lethal to humans who have not developed physiological tolerance. His drug abuse (including various LSD and marijuana experimentations) was confirmed by his son, Stephan, and Jones' doctor in San Francisco.
