That tofu salad looks really fabulous too.
If the waitress says the veg burger is now vegan i would take her word for it and give it a go. The platter of sides does sound like a great one either way.

I'm so glad that Genip didn't take off and is now immunized. Looks like a full deck of happy pups sunning themselves there :))

I was chatting with the new security guard at my job and he asked me if I was going to school and then what my major was. So I told him that I had decided to major in English. And like everyone else on the planet, he asked me if I wanted to be a teacher.
I said no, because honestly I would be the worst teacher ever. I would probably just hide behind my desk throwing paperclips at my students while yelling "Shut Up MORONS!!!"
I said that what I actually wanted to do was write.
Security Guard: So, you going to write a book?
Me: Probably not, I'm not that good.
Security Guard: You're going to school right? If yo goin' to school and you wanna write then I say you write yo book honey.
You can even write about working in a store where crazy shop lifters yell at ME when they the ones that are stealing crap.
Oddly enough, this conversation really encouraged me. So maybe someday I will write a book.
Life is like the splash mountain ride at Disneyland....
On one of my family's many trips to Disneyland when I was a little kid, I saw another little girl walk by holding a massive rainbow colored lollipop about as big as her head.
To my little brain, it was the most beautiful sticky sugary thing I had ever seen and of course I needed one of my very own.
So my Mum said that if I went on the Splash Mountain Ride with her, she would buy me a giant rainbow lollipop.
My little seven year old spirit quailed at this unexpected turn my fate had taken....
I gazed in awe at the massive drop, the raging waterfall...from my tiny perspective she may as well have asked me to jump off a skyscraper.
I hesitated, the thought of careening off that waterfall in a less than sturdy looking canoe left me absolutely terrified. But....that lollipop.....that lovely sticky lollipop....I was certain i'd never even SEEN one that big before ever in my life! and I was dead certain I would never ever find a lollipop that perfect ever again. it was now or NEVER.
So after a lot of anxious indecision I decided I was going to be brave like all my role models of the time, namely Pippie Longstocking, Madeline, and the Pevinsie children. And I was going to ride Splash Mountain and get that Lollipop!
We waited in line, I was an anxious little ball of nerves and almost backed out twice, but we eventually made it on the ride.
I sat clutching the safety bar for dear life. The worst part of the whole experience was not knowing when the drop was coming and along the way you were surrounded by woodland animals whose wide crazy eyes and cheerful song seemed to be taunting me as I floated toward my imminent doom.
The drop of doom came.....
I survived.....
And true to her word my Mum presented me with my very own delicious massive rainbow lollipop. I spent the rest of the day with sticky hands, face and hair and with bits of lollipop in my teeth. But I was happy....I was victorious....I was BRAVE.
I just now asked my mom why it was so important to her that I go on that ride.
She got that exasperated look she always gets when I bring up instances in my childhood where she inadvertently traumatized me...
She says that she was convinced that if she got me on that one ride I would be magically cured of my fears and then be prepared to go on all the other crazy rides. She says this kind of trickery worked on all my other siblings so she expected it to work on me.
Yeah that didn't happen....so my long held tradition of failing where others succeed started much earlier than I previously thought.
I forgot how I was going to relate this story to my current life struggles ....oh well......

we went blue berry pickin! two gallons of blue berries doesn't look like very much in the buckets but when you get them home & start spreading them out & deciding what to do with them, it seems like a whole lot more than you were thinking when you picked them lol!
I spread out two baking sheets full & flash froze them over night for future pancakes, overnight French toast, muffins anything that involves fresh blueberries etc.& canned the rest in a light syrup, our two gallons gave us 8 pints & 4 quart baggies
my light syrup is a simple recipe I'd found on line a few years ago & have used it ever since when I can fruit, it's just the right amount of sweetness when you make cobblers you're adding sugar
3 parts water to 1 part sugar
this means you'll be adding 1 cup of sugar to every 3 cups of water
fill fruit to the rim of clean jars
bring syrup water to a boil,
keeping it hot, ladle over blueberries
wipe off excess from jar mouths & add seals that has been setting in hot water
with a butter knife go down the edges to remove air bubbles
this will prevent exploding in the caner lol!
place jars in canner & process 15 min after you hear the rumbling of the water
of all the years I've canned I've always snatched them out & flipped them upside down to assure sealing, which works & I still do sometimes but I recently came across a blogger who talked about the popping they make when they seal, yea I know that sounds crazy to get excited waiting for the pop pop lol!

Upcoming Events at The WorldBeat Center in Balboa Park.
April 3 – Roots Underground
Revolution reggae music – edgy, raw, natural, roots… They are Rootz Underground. That is their sound.
Many influences have borne their 'rootz', including their homeland Jamaica – birthplace of Rastafari and other radical movements, JAH – creator of all things, family, the earth in all its glory, the revolutionary 70's, Dub and Roots Reggae music.
The revolution that is Rootz Underground began in 2000 when the band members, whose lives had crossed paths sometime or another from childhood, linked their individual musical talents in search of forming one solid unit. The Rootz Underground revolution emerged on the scene in a blaze of high-energy performances and conscious lyrics.
April 11 – The Skatalites
In Jamaica in the mid-50's, a fledgling recording industry saw the birth of what became known as Ska. Created by fusing Boogie-Woogie Blues, R+B, Jazz, Mento, Calypso and African rythyms, Ska became the first truly Jamaican music and by the 60's all the vocalist were swarming to the studios to record their songs to this infectious new beat. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe are just a few of the names who came to record this new music, which coincided with the whole island's excitement about Jamaica's independence in 1962. The core musicians playing on most of these sessions saw the opportunity to play this music live to the public.Tommy McCook, Rolando Alphonso, Johnny Moore, Lester Sterling, Don Drummond, Lloyd Knibb, Lloyd Brevett, Jerry Haynes, and Jackie Mittoo began working together in 1963 and formed The Ska-talites in May 1964.
April 22 – Earthday Celebration with Tristan Palmer and Little John

To be honest. I'm not quite sure what to say about this track. This remake of Boney M's Gotta Go Home has been immensely hyped since it was played way back at the WMCs at the start of the summer. Apparently due to issues about clearing the sample, it's only come out now. On Juno, not Beatport, and only in some parts of the world. After so many recreations and edits (O-God etc), everyone already knows what the track is, and frankly, the real production is a bit disappointing. Anyway, you can make your own mind up about it.

My wife and I suffered through one business failure in Santa Fe, NM a couple of years ago so she was very much against another business venture. As a result, I was left alone to start Wilford's Trading Post, but gradually she came on board and now she cannot contain her enthusiasm. It's nice to have the help now. I particularly appreciate her expertise especially given her artistic background--she has Master degrees in Fine Arts and Education and currently teaches both art and music in the Gallup Public School System, nearly 100% of her students (preschool through 5th grade) are Native American, mostly Navajo. In our wholesale shopping this past week, she locked in on a Sammy Smith micro-inlay necklace which she describes as an excellent work of art. I posted it on Ebay tonight as Item number: 360010200838.
Over the next few months we plan on increasing our offerings substantially and we will continue to feature some of the best known Native American Jewelry artists. Sammy Smith is noted for his excellence as a micro-inlayer.
There is another Sammy Smith in town. He is a fetish carver, I have one or two of his pieces up on the site.

A Simple Key For can an osteopath prescribe medication UnveiledOsteopaths do recognise the probable for misalignments and joints Which may be "caught" but they tend not to get the exact same training in x-ray Examination as chiropractors. This is certainly partly because of the way osteopathy has progressed to put fantastic emphasis on entire body palpation as being a technique for diagnosing and determining problems, partly as a consequence of problems more than unwanted x-ray radiation publicity and partly for the reason that Osteopaths are likely to place plenty of value on blood flow as well as health and function from the smooth tissues (muscles and fascia) in addition to the joints.
Article 21 Chiropractors are usually not totally licensed physicians. They are not even considered physicians in several US states. No general public university (state university) within the United states of america teaches chiropractic. The only Instrument a chiropractor has is "popping" a joint. And the one sincere response as to its effects (s)he could Provide you with is "I don't know". Chiros have the best pupil bank loan default rate of all medical professions, pupil fall out is big (dissatisfaction), pay back on graduation is pathetic, scope of practice is minimum, and there's a expanding inclination to transition to other professions like PT, RN, PA or MD/DO.
The differences between Chiropractic and Osteopathy originate from a subtle difference in philosophy. Both of those Osteopaths and Chiropractors primary aim will be to reduce pain employing a similar assortment of strategies to help signs and symptoms which include back pain, neck pain, joint pain and many other musculoskeletal ailments.
At Middle Park Osteopathic Clinic we've been expert in treating a wide array of sports activities athletes, from elite gymnasts and Experienced sports activities Adult males and girls to weekend 'warriors'.

What is often a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO)? For anyone who is like many people, you have been about to a physician at any time because you were born and maybe were not mindful no matter if you were being observing a DO (osteopathic physician) or an MD (allopathic physician). You may not even bear in mind there are two types of complete physicians inside the United States. The fact is that each Canines and MDs are fully certified physicians licensed to prescribe medication and perform surgery. Is there any difference between both of these types of physicians? Yes. And no. home DOs and MDs are alike in numerous ways: Applicants to both of those DO and MD medical colleges usually have 4-year undergraduate degrees with an emphasis on scientific courses.
When you are suffering from pain in any way and they are considering care to your lower back or other physique areas, don't be reluctant to e-book an appointment at Bradford Household Chiropractic Clinic with Max Atkinson DC or his associates by calling 01962 861188 to view if you can be helped.
[9] Osteopaths will not be Accredited for medical practice in Britain, though European osteopaths usually are not permitted to practice while in the United states lest they be mistaken for physicians who are still typically named osteopaths there. Hence studies organized in various nations around the world need to be used with care in reference to each other.
They consider the impression that Way of life and Neighborhood have over the health of every particular person, and they work to break down limitations to fantastic health. DOs are licensed to practice the total scope of medicine in all fifty states. They practice in all sorts of environments, such as the armed service, As well as in every type of specialties, from relatives medicine to obstetrics, surgery, and aerospace medicine.

I decided to make some spinach, sesame and ginger dumplings in honour of Chinese new years eve... and with the assistance of my little plastic dumpling or 'gyoza' press bought from the 100yen store when last in Japan, they actually turned out really well - not to mention tasty.
I plan to spend the first day of the year of the tiger in my studio painting one, (tiger).

I was searching for a way to add a line over the top of my toggle button in WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), and came across this nugget. Apparently you can download the provided VS2008 template, and create a WPF based screensaver! With all the cool things built into WPF/Silverlight, I imagine this could be very useful. I'm thinking something with lots of Mountain Dew cans, and maybe my mug floating around the screen...
I haven't tried the template yet, but I definitely downloaded the screensaver example given there. Oooooooo purple. Actually, if you look at it, it's a crappy screensaver: constantly bright in the middle, dark on the edges, but it is cool. I've heard that monitors don't really need screensavers anymore, so maybe it doesn't matter.

What I found interesting was that the title contained the word "trend". According to an online dictionary, a trend is defined as the general direction in which something tends to move or, more loosely, current style; vogue. Obviously I cannot speak for the author of the article however I can see how she may have assumed that egg whites would just be another trend ... a passing fancy, like the many different diets that find their way in and out of our society.
It's been five years since the article was written and we can tell you that Eggology egg whites are here to stay. The demand for egg whites, from athletes and body builders to professional chefs in five-star restaurants to moms and dads have kept Eggology alive and thriving. And for that, we thank all of you. And will continue to provide the best possible egg white product now and into the future.

The transportation system in Spain is defined by a broad network of interconnecting roads, railways, air routes, ports, and rapid transit such as; metros, subways, and underground transport, specifically in urban areas. The main forms of transport are usually centered in and radiate from Madrid, which is found in the center of the country and often connect easily to major cities in the surrounding areas. Moving around the country of Spain is made easy with so many different options. Let us focus in on traveling to some of Spain's most prominent public universities. Transportation to Universities in Madrid The Autonomous University of Madrid is one of the most important universities in the country and is easy to get to. If you don't have a car, you can arrive to the university by taking the Cercanias Rail Line, as the university conveniently has a train station right on campus. The name of this stop is Cantoblanco. If you happen to be arriving to the country by plane, you would have the option of taking the metro from the airport to a connecting Cercanias Rail Station and from there can get off right at Autonomous University of Madrid. Another option for getting to the school would be by taking a bus. Bus number 715, for example, comes from the heart of Madrid at Plaza de Castilla in terminal 13 and will take you straight to the University. There on consistent streams of busses on this route, generally at least every fifteen to thirty minutes. Taking a taxi is another way of getting to the university. If you are going from the Barajas-Madrid airport you will pay approximately 30 euros for the trip. A taxi is likely the most expensive option; however, it will be the most hassle-free, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area. Another very popular public school in Madrid is the Technical University of Madrid. The university is approximately 18 kilometers from the Barajas-Madrid international airport. If you are flying into this airport you can easily find a taxi out front that can take you directly to the university. If you are looking for a more economical way to get to there you can also can take the metro. You would need to get off at Ciudad Universitaria and from there you a just a few steps away from campus. If you are coming from the center of the city, you can simply walk to the Technical University. It is about fifteen minutes by foot from the city center. This is a very well-known school and if you happen to get lost, just ask. People are general friendly and can help point you in the right direction. Complutense University of Madrid is one of the oldest universities world-wide and consistently ranked at the top of Spain's universities. Complutense University or UCM is a public university also located in Madrid. UCM has two campuses, the bigger one is found in the center of the city and you can most easily be reached on the Metro at stop, Ciudad Universitaria. The other, smaller campus is in residential area and can also be reached by the Metro and getting off at Campus de Somosaguas. UCM can also be reached by the suburban, EMT, bus. Depending on where you are coming from, your travel time and number of busses needed to take will vary. You can, however, map your route and consider further details on price and bus schedules at their website: http://www.emtmadrid.es/Home Transportation to Universities in Barcelona Now, moving onto popular universities outside of Madrid, let's look at a few schools in Barcelona. The Autonomous University of Barcelona, or Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, is a great school to attend for both national and international students. The school is located in Cerdanyola del Valle of Barcelona in Catalonia. The most recommendable way to arrive at UAB from the airport in Barcelona would be this following. Take the RENFE train at the airport to the Barcelona-Sants station. Once you are there, you will need to switch to a train that goes to Placa Catalunya. You should not have to wait very long, as trains come very frequently. When you are in Placa Catalunya station, you will need to look for trains the "Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya – FGC" written on them. You should take a FGC train towards Sabadell, line 52 or line 555 to the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona station. This may seem like a lot; however, this entire journey should only take you about a half an hour and its quite simple. Pompeu Fabra de Barcelona or Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) is another highly ranked and internationally recognized university located in Barcelona. UPF can be reached by bus and is one of the best ways to get there. Since Barcelona has multiple bus stations and are very reliable, inexpensive, and timely, many students use the bus as their principle form of transportation. There is a bus station called "Estacion del Norte" which is located only 10 minutes by foot from the campus. If you decide you would rather not take the bus, you can also get to Universitat Pompeu Fabra buy using the train (Renfe). Depending on where in the city you are coming from, you will need to take either the 1, 3 or 4 lines and your stop will be Arc de Triomf. For more detailed information on the Renfe services, you can visit their website directly at: http://www.renfe.com/CA/viajeros/index.html Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Barcelona Tech) is another top pick for international students. It is especially known for being "green" or energy efficient and is renowned for the in-depth research done there. The campus is located in an area with a good amount of nearby student housing. However, if you aren't close enough to campus to walk, there is a bus stop on campus at Jordi Girona-Tinent Coronel Valenzuela on bus line 33. Transportation to Universities in Sevilla Most major colleges and universities in Sevilla can be reached by one of the following methods. If you are already in the city, you might just be able to easily walk to your university. Sevilla has spacious sidewalks and the city is generally very safe. Walking not only allows you to get some exercise, but it is often the quickest way to get around as you avoid traffic. Sevilla is a great city to get around in by bike too. They have many options for renting a bike if you don't have your own. The Sevilla city bus is also a very efficient and economical way of getting around. So, if you are living in an area that is a little too far to walk or bike from, the city bus is your cheapest option. A one-way ticket costs €1.40 and if you are staying within the historical city center you can take buses C3 and C4, as they are generally the most useful. Depending on your travels, you might also want to look further into Seville's tram and underground metro systems which might end up being the perfect option for you. The University of Seville is essentially surrounded by multiple bus stops, which is going to be how most students who can't walk will arrive to campus. You should, however, also keep in mind that there is a metro stop, Puerta de Jerez, located less than one block away from the heart of the campus. Pablo de Olavide University is the second public university in Seville. This is one of the few places that can be easily reached by the Metro. Seville does not have an intricate metro system, but, Pablo de Olavide University is conveniently located on one of its few stops. Transportation to the University of Valencia The University of Valencia or Universitat de Valencia, is one the most prominent and popular in the area. It expands across the whole city, with three different campus'. If you are looking to travel to the Campus de Blasco Ibanez, you can get there either by bus (EMT) or by the metro on line 3 and make sure to get off on the Facultats stop. If you are traveling to Campus de Burjassot – Paterna, you can take the bus (EMT), the tram or the metro combined with a short bike ride. If you need to get to Campus dels Tarongers, you have the option of either taking the bus (EMT) or the tram. Transportation to the University of Salamanca Like Sevilla, Salamanca is a great city for walking and biking and has been set up to protect its pedestrians. If you chose not to walk or bike, you can also use the bus. The University of Salamanca can easily be reached by bus and you can use one of a combination of the 13 bus lines available throughout the city to arrive at your destination. Salamanca does not have extensive intercity transportation available, so make sure you take this into consideration while choosing where you will live and how far it is away from your university, as it is most likely you will either be getting to your classes either by walking, biking or by bus on a day to day basis.

This is the Place...
Rachel and I took the kids on an adventure to This is the Place Heritage Park. I had never been there before and thought it was so much fun. The kids got to dress up in their costumes and go trick or treating at all the houses.
We also got to visit the baby animals.
Bowen didn't know what to think!
Don't you just love Sophie's Strawberry Shortcake costume. It is a hand-me-down from my Sister Hannah. It just makes me laugh!
finally got to take a pony ride.
We had story time with the cutest witch! The kids were so good and listened to 3 stories.
Next was little craft time...
The girls loved taking to train around the park.
You can tell by their faces that they were done for the day. So much fun!

One bite of this incredible fall favorite, made with spice cake mix, yam filling, and chocolate chips, is a an amazing sensation of tastes. It's also a great use for leftover cooked sweet potatoes the day after Thanksgiving.
TERRIFIC TIP: Most bar cookies freeze well, so feel free to make them if you have a craving.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, butter, and egg until they are well mixed. Spread the batter into a prepared pan.
In another mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sweet potatoes, confectioners' sugar, egg whites, and vanilla until the mixture is creamy. Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips. Pour this mixture over the batter in the pan.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Cool to room temperature and cut into squares.

This one in particular, 'Gimme Some Truth' struck a chord with my rebel heart which at that time was crying out for some real answers. While Lennon articulated well the heart cry for truth, the life-changing answer for me was to come from another source and words spoken over two thousand years ago. I still love this song and relate to the energy and anger at everything smooth and phoney that seeks to sap the spirit out of us in these trying times.

PETER Taylor can be forgiven for feeling like a condemned man hoping for a royal pardon. A last-minute goal from Dean Sturridge has given him time and, although he remains wary about his future, the response from his players and the Filbert Street crowd may be enough to give him time to turn his team around.
Leicester travel to Second Division Blackpool in the Worthington Cup tonight and, while defeat could precipitate his departure, the manger's stock appears to be rising.
In George Burley, Ipswich could offer the perfect reason for sticking with the manager; Burley has been through tough times but has survived and Ipswich are now in Europe. Leicester should take note. However a performance regarded as Leicester's most complete since the rot set in with FA Cup defeat by Wycombe in March has bought Taylor time, even though Harry Redknapp, formerly of West Ham, continues to be linked with the job.
Sir Rodney Walker, chairman of Leicester's plc, left after 70 minutes to attend to business matters. He was impressed by what he saw though he missed not only Leicester's stirring determination to claim their first goal and point of the season but also the rousing reception for his manager at the end.
"If the players had not shown what they had shown I could have been in trouble, without a doubt," admitted Taylor. "If there had been a repeat of the Bolton game I'm sure I would have got a tap on the shoulder. I'm sure the bosses were looking for commitment and togetherness and the players gave that."
Reports that Redknapp is being lined up for Taylor's job are nethertheless unsettling, and Taylor added: "I hope they are not working behind my back. If anyone from Leicester decides I'm not the one for the job, it will certainly not be for the lack of effort or honesty.
"If they feel they need a different face and voice here I would prefer if they would tell me as quickly as they could. If they've got somebody in mind that must be because they feel I'm not up to it and if that's the case they should do the honest thing."
That Taylor was being heralded as the next England manager last season and even put in caretaker control of his country proves how fickle the game can be. Taylor, though, will not seek assurances for fear of the wrong response. "If I go and ask they might say yes, so I'm better off not asking," he joked.
He was not laughing after 13 minutes when Marcus Stewart scored his first goal of the season. The early goal invited comparisons with the opening day 5-0 defeat by Bolton but Leicester were creative and determined, if a little nervous.
Ian Walker, making his debut after finishing a suspension, impressed in goal but the tension increased when Matteo Sereni, Ipswich's goalkeeper, was sent off for barging Robbie Savage to the ground. Sadly for Leicester, Muzzy Izzet sent the kick over, and the sharpening of knives could be heard.
Barry Knight later sent off Leicester's Lee Marshall, for pushing Martijn Reuser over, but Taylor got the result he and his team deserved when, from quickly taken Izzet free kick, Sturridge's first attempt was saved by Keith Branagan but the second was converted.

Discipline is the key to success -this might have been drilled into our heads since time immemorial. Why we do certain things and don't do certain things depending on whether there's someone to supervise us or not?
Whatever may be the answer to that question, the following incident should clear one doubt - following a system irrespective of the hour of the day, or the presence of a monitoring person saves a lot of time and effort.
A couple of my friends had to catch an early morning flight, and despite my best assurances regarding their timely reaching at the airport thanks to Bombay's round the clock available transport facility, they wanted to book a cab. Unfortunately, the cab service had all its vehicles booked upto the afternoon. That left us with no option but to rely on the regular autos/taxis.
It was about 4 in the morning when we exited my apartment complex. True to my prediction, there was a queue of autos at the auto stand. But, all the drivers were asleep. Not wanting to disturb them and having observed movement of autos and taxis on the road, we decided to flag one down. All that we got for a good 10 minute wait in the morning chill was a few full autos and a Maruti Esteem which flew over a speed-breaker at about 80-90 kmph.
We then decided to wake the first driver in the queue. He got up without fuss, got ready and before leaving woke the next guy in the line and asked him to take his due place at the head of the queue. He then drove away.
As I went back to my apartment, I saw Driver #2 pushing his vehicle to the head of the queue and then walking back to wake driver #3.
Neat isn't it? I don't think this would happen in any other place in India.
There were also a few questions in my mind:
1. Do I doff my hat to the work culture of this place?
2. Do I doff my hat to the fact that Driver #1 considered it his responsibility to intimate his sleeping colleague that the numero uno position was vacant and had to be occupied?
3. Do I doff my hat to the chain reaction that set in among all the drivers?
4. Do I doff my hat to the fact that no one else would have occupied the vacated spot even if the other drivers had not woken up to push their vehicles?

A Gentle, Friendly Request For Southern Baptist Writers
Soong-Chan Rah and I have been writing and speaking about race and evangelicalism trends for decades. That work culminated in a project we started called Gospel and Race because we believe, as the data indicates, that the future of American evangelicalism will be diversely Asian American, Hispanic, and African American in its public expression, if it's going to have a future at all.
I'm not quite sure how to say this, and I'm not trying to be a offensive or cause trouble, but several of us are wondering if our Southern Baptist friends can stop conflating issues in their own denomination with "evangelicalism" or "the American Church" or "The Church" in general. For example, many Southern Baptist writers (current and former) posting at Religion News Service, major blogging websites, research organizations, conferences, etc. have been writing on the issue of millennials leaving the church. It turns out, that this is not an evangelical problem nor an American church problem, but a white problem in certain circles. Asian American, Hispanic, and African American millennials are growing in number. Black millennials are not leaving the church.
"One of the dangers of being the majority culture is that you become complacent and you don't listen," says Derwin Gray Pastor of Transformation Church on this issue. "You think your problems are everyone else's problem."
There was a time when evangelicalism had a white male face but, if the data holds, that is the face of American evangelicalism's past. Many of us have been trying to make the case that there needs to be new leadership faces but few it seems are listening to us.
We tend to look at the church through our own tribal and denomination lenses. It happens. It's inadvertent. It just is what it is. Granted, there are 16 million Southern Baptists so the tendency to do this is totally understandable but I think it should be known that Asian American, Hispanic, and Black evangelicals (as well as many non-Southern Baptists) find it extremely frustrating when articles are written about trends in evangelicalism which are, in fact, trends only among white evangelicalism and, at times, are limited to particular Southern Baptists contexts–like the whole discussion of New Calvinism. There was no Calvinist resurgence among Presbyterians.
In conclusion, the friendly request is for all of us to not make our denominational problems the problems of "The American Church" or "American Evangelicalism," and the like. So, could you Southern Baptist writers (currently in, recently left, or critically provoking) not use "evangelicalism" as a synonym for "Southern Baptist"–even when challenging it like we see when we read voices like Rachel Held Evans and Jonathan Merritt. Perhaps, then, in the future a more accurate article title would be something like, "Why Millennials Are Leaving The Predominantly White "X" Denominational/Non-Denominational Churches." Your problems don't necessarily reflect trends and issues among Asian American, Hispanic, or Black evangelical churches or other denominations.
Again, I'm not trying to be overly harsh, offensive, critical but I believe that sharpening our categories leads to better diagnosis and provides greater opportunities to be innovative about solutions. I just didn't know any other way to make this request. I think that speaking more in terms of denominational identity could help all of us anyway.

That is my mantra for 2012 - who really needs to pay some expensive gym membership to get a good work out. I recall when I had a gym member all I did was let them draft my checking account every month, but I never attended. Then I'd see my bank statement and think, I need to go work out and get my monies worth. So I'd go for a few classes, then maybe hit the treadmill. I'd do good for a couple of weeks, but then back to nothing. Membership cancelled because I knew I was wasting money, but I still needed to work out - well after baby.
I am now 7 months post pregnancy - yes I know I should have been working out before now but any who, I've decided I needed to tone up. What is a stay at home mom to do without a gym membership? Well another luxury of being home is TV shows, and I'm really learning a lot from them. One day I was watching live with Kelly Ripa and they were actually working out to a work out video on the show. It was the new Brooke Burke video. The exercises looked doable, so I thought I'd go get it and give them a try. I went to go ole Best Buy and bought Transform Your Body with Brooke Burke Tone and Tighten since that is what I really needed to do as I've lost most of my baby weight. I have a few pounds that have taken up residence and have been refusing to vacate so I figured toning up would be best for me. Best part - the video only cost me $7.99, so who needs that old stinking gym membership, right!
I must say this workout video is a true workout! I've only been able to make it through the warm up and lower body exercises,but I could still feel the burn days after. I plan to work out to the video three times a week and of course make it through the whole video. One major plus for the video is if you are short on time you can choose which work outs you'd like to focus on from the menu. Brooke also must have known there would be other new moms out there like me completing this video, because she gives modified exercises for those of us that are "vacationers" to working out. I don't thinking I've ever been to a class at a gym where they give instruction on how to modify the exercises. This definitely makes exercising to this video three times a week doable. So once again who needs a gym! Check out the videos and tell me what you think. Brooke Burke has other videos, there's also Jillian Michaels, and my personal favorite Zumba (but Zumba is for the Wii or xBox Kinect). Happy getting in shape!

The New Kid
I had a kiddo who just started school after an extended summer break today. Glad to know that school is so important. Rrrr. His birthday was a couple days ago apparently and I hastily agreed to allow for birthday treats this afternoon. They arrived in the form of naked cupcakes with a huge bowl of runny icing, a can of whipped cream, and a handful of plastic knives. No one wanted to take the cupcakes my two frosters were trying to hand off dripping icing everywhere and the birthday boy was manning the whipped cream repeatedly asking if he could squirt some right into his mouth. Somehow I managed to hold it together and get them out the door. I was also proud to have kept my grin in check when birthday boy came to me to say the frosting bowl had spilled in the paper bag he was carrying everything home in. Oops! Sorry about that, Mom.

Lately, however, I've been struck by the number of really decent likeable teenagers around us, and I have been hugely encouraged. Last night was a good example. We were at a barbecue at our friends' Yvonne and George's along with a few other families. Our kids were the youngest ones there. After supper, while the adults relaxed on the deck, watching the sun set over the trees (aaahhhh :-), the kids played a rousing game of soccer in their large backyard.
Nikki and Julie played with the group of mostly teen boys, and it was a delight to watch. Either they were just exceptional teens and they would have turned out well regardless, or our friends are doing a bang-up job of raising decent teens. They were so great to our girls. And not just in a patronizing "we have to be nice to the young kids because the adults are watching" kind of way, but in a respectful, generous, "we like hanging out with these kids" way. I was really touched by it, and I know that my girls felt genuinely valued as members of the soccer teams.
I guess that's part of the beauty of raising kids in a meaningful community, where people of all ages respect and like each other. I really like my friends' teenage kids. They're decent and respectful, and I'm glad my daughters have good role models. I guess we'll just have to keep surrounding ourselves with great teens and maybe we'll get lucky when our girls reach that stage.

You are one lucky woman! I hope that I am as lucky...to find wonderful teen-mentors for my kids! I think it makes an incredible impact on young kids...to observe the behavior of older kids. And it sounds like you have found some excellent role models!

Nah. One of the decentest teenagers I know is marvelous to everyone, and horrible to her mother, but then again, everyone else isn't curtailing her independence like those pesky parents are.

I don't think luck will have anything to do with it! It will be because you guys are such great parents that the girls will be such gems. And they will be!

Someone once said that we should 'litter our children's path with opportunities'. Seems to me that you guys are trying to do exactly that!
We got 4 kids ourselves and we know it is not always easy but it is so good to read about parents such as yourselves who love and care for their children rather than seeing them as 'a problem' or 'an inconvenience'.
Your children will be fine and they will be your best friends when they are adults.
That will be my prayer for you.

We had our struggles with our three as teens, but it was minimal.
I actually enjoyed it! Seeing life through their eyes was a joy. A scary joy at times, but a joy still.

I think I almost prefer having teenagers to toddlers. I have had some fun conversations with them lately and very few problems. So far so good!

I loved it when my kids where teenagers. I loved watching and listening to their chatter and experiences. Yes.. we had a few rough moments.. but over all they were great years. Now my children are grown and my two grand kids are entering their teens. I am so impressed at what good kids they are. And I am so proud of the parenting my own children have provided. I guess what goes around .. comes around.

I get it. Let me just say that first. I get the concept; a day to show your appreciation for the mothers in your life.
Do I believe that every day you should show your appreciation? Yes. But I also understand how easy it is to get lost in the days and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. So having a designated day once a year to show your appreciation seems logical to me. But I'm ready to skip it.
Yep. You read it right. Cancel it for me. Count me out. Some how every year Mother's Day ends up being a big let down for me.
So now that I've said that; let me say this:
I don't. I don't expect to sleep in. Get breakfast in bed. A fresh bouquet of flowers, an edible arrangement, new jewelry, a closet full of clothes and a day of pampering.
In fact Mando has asked a handful of times what I want and I've always answered, "I don't know." Because saying "this is what I want." Is usually a let down because A) I just don't end up getting it. And B) because I don't feel like that's very thoughtful. I feel like Mother's Day gifts should be special and thoughtful and to give a list of things I want on this "special" day just doesn't seem right.
I don't want any material items. Mainly I want a day with my family. Maybe a nap. But that's shooting a little high. I want to take my kids to the park with my husband and spend time as a family. That's it. That's what I want.
But in the grand tradition of mothers days for me, the weekend has started off with Mando being a jerk and Nathan being a brat. And it's just old. Old and tiring. And I'm over it.
So cancel Mother's Day for me. I'm crossing it off my calendar and instead just aiming for the usual "okayish sunday."

This past week, that query was answered with the arrival of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Surprisingly enough, the developer and publisher have managed to make amends, throwing away the cruddy modern-day setting in favor of a return to the Old West – and how. It plays around with legacies in its own way, and there are times that something technical works against it (like loading times), but we're glad to see this cowboy has been put back on pace.
In the game, you play Silas Greaves, a worn-out gunslinger who's sitting around in a saloon, setting the record straight for a few of his fellow drinkers. He explains how he's gotten in and out of trouble over the years, dealing with all sorts of rivals while running into the likes of Jesse James and Billy the Kid, among others. Since Ubisoft is no stranger to altering history to its benefit (Assassin's Creed III, anyone?), I just sat back and enjoyed how things played out.
Most of the time, you're running through Gunslinger in full-on first-person shooter mode. The game's mechanics work elegantly throughout, as you can easily take down varmints using your six-shooter, shotgun and other weapons, while occasionally dodging an incoming bullet (through a neat, if unoriginal, slo-mo mechanic) and using concentration mode to get off some well-timed headshots. Trick shots also introduce themselves over the course of the game, keeping things interesting and helping you build a high score.
In Gunslinger, there's a huge emphasis on getting the best score possible, as you can build combos from taking down multiple enemies or pulling off headshots and trick shots. The better you perform, the more rewards you unlock through your three-tier skill system, and the higher you rank on the leaderboards. After you clear each stage in Story Mode, you can continue to try your luck in Arcade Mode, where you can play merely for the sake of getting as high a score as possible. Again, unoriginal, but Techland has taken this and made it work with Gunslinger. Who am I to argue against not trying to fix something that isn't broken?
The game also has a huge emphasis on Duels. There are times you'll need to take someone head-on in a gunfight, and the system here is actually pretty good. You use the right analog stick to keep them into focus, then draw your weapon and shoot 'em before they kill you. Though the process gets repetitive down the road, it's a neat take on winning a duel, rather than relying on tapping on a trigger as quickly as possible. Plus, you can get some awesome headshots going here.
Gunslinger looks very good for a downloadable game, and runs circles around the unfinished The Cartel. The Western environments are outstanding, from the dusty old towns filled with gunmen to a run along a moving train. The carnage is surprisingly excessive as well, especially when you use a shotgun to shred someone down to size. There are occasional bugs throughout, and the loading times can be a bit excessive, but it's a small price to pay to enjoy this trip into the world of Juarez.
The audio's good as well. The voicework is top notch, especially for Silas, who comes off as brash at times, but still has quite a story to tell. The music is quite atmospheric, making you feel like you're really running through old school Western towns – even with all the excessive gunfire.
I forgive Techland and Ubisoft for whatever the heck The Cartel was, because Gunslinger is one fine sequel. It comes up short when compared to Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption -- mainly because of game length and slight characterization – but it's still great. Silas' story is well worth listening to.

It seems we can't go anywhere without seeing throngs of people—young and old—using cell phones. This cultural spectacle is undoubtedly continuing to rise, and in 2014, the number of active cell phones will reach 7.3 billion. In other words, there will be more in-use cell phones
than there are people on the planet right now.
The first mobile phone was used in 1973. In 1983, the cell phone was commercially available, and cost a whopping $3,500. (Keep in mind that a decent car cost only $5,000 in the early-80s.) By the year 1990, cell phones had become all the envy. Technology made them more affordable; however they were not quite portable. Remember Zack Morris had a giant one on Saved By the Bell? (There are even a website and Facebook page dedicated to television's most famous cell phone.) Cell phones officially became mainstream (meaning more than 50% of consumers were using one) by 2003.
They have become so commonplace in America that it is hard to imagine life without a mobile connection. Recent studies show that 56% of American adults have a smartphone and 91% have a cellphone, but what exactly did we NextGen-ers do before the dawn of cellies?
When I wasn't sporting a Swatch, practicing the moonwalk, or playing Pac-Man, I did the following things sans a mobile phone:
- I always had loose change in my pocket. As far back as I can remember, my mother used to give me a stash of dimes (later quarters) "in case of an emergency." Before people had phones in their pockets, we had phones on street corners, and that was the only way to reach someone when we were on the go.
- I made plans ahead of time, and I kept the commitment. If we agreed to meet in the lobby at noon, we did. If one of us was running late, the other person simply waited…and wondered.
- I had to remember numbers—lots of them! Family, dozens of friends, the local pizza parlor, my dance studio.
- I kept an appointment book/calendars with me at all times. (How else was I supposed to remember I was meeting you in the lobby at noon?
- I took pictures with a camera and waited until I used the entire roll of film before getting the photos developed. (And then I threw away most of them because they were blurry.)
- I left a paper trail. Whether it was passing notes in school, scribbles on a whiteboard in my college dorm, or notes I left around the house letting my mom know I was just down the street hanging out at a friend's, I put it in writing. (My jottings are still savvier than my texting.)
- I talked. Face-to-face. If I wanted to network socially, I needed to do it in person.
- I practiced ESP. Since I didn't have caller ID, when the phone rang, I merely had to guess who it was! It could have been the principal, my nana, a neighbor, Dad's boss, or my best friend.
- I kept my multi-tasking at a minimum. Although my landline princess phone had a cord that stretched for miles, when I was on the phone, I did little else except talk.
Consequently, life seemed simpler back then. (The fact that I am writing this blog post with a laptop computer is just another example of how rapidly the world is changing.) I'm no mobile maven but I do love technology. From our phones, we can surf the Internet, make a purchase, text a friend, snap a photo, schedule an appointment, or 'Google' a plethora of trivial information. I don't know what other options my phone will offer in the near future, but I do know I still want to use the phone the old-fashioned way—to make connections or just to say hello.
So, call me!

Wrapped in a blanket I.
Originally uploaded by Cathymk.
Firstly, here is a picture of Felix snuggled under the blanket I left in the lounge because yet again there are no stitching photo's to share.
I'm really happy to report I finished the recipe exhange piece over the weekend. It is ready to go in the mail tomorrow. It turned out pretty well if I do say so myself and I learned a new stitch in the process (nun's stitch – thanks to Ellen Chester's Quaker Needlework Treasures). I'm really looking forward to sharing the pictures with you.
I've been unwell today – a bit of a nasty headache. I left work when the nausea started because I realised if I left it too much longer I would not be able to get home. I'm a bit better now, I've had a long sleep and some drugs and it seems to be getting better. I'm going to take some more and call it a night now.

"Somewhere beyond all ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there." Rumi
I close my eyes and focus on wrapping Earth in a rainbow. Each color receives special attention: Red. Orange. Yellow. Green. Blue. Indigo. Violet. With my mind, I carry each ribbon of the spectrum across the surface of our spinning planet, cradling it first in one direction and then in the other until it looks snug—like a dearly decorated Christmas gift or an infant in a sling. Light radiates from the rainbow Earth, and, as it spins, the light pushes back the rainbow ribbons. On its surface, some people's souls glow brighter with the shimmering of the rainbows. Others dim and fall away with silent grace and drift out into the universe like snowflakes sinking softly to the ground. I think of a light glowing within my throat and the following words come to mind: Speak truth. Be peace.
The next day, the rainbows have been replaced by candle flames showering the Earth in a warm-orange glow. I see a crystal around my heart begin to shatter, and my mind draws rainbows around my husband and me, simultaneously warming us and cooling us down. Flames burn out from people's mouths as their thoughts catch fire around the world. Then silence descends, candle light returns, and the soft glow comes from me.
On our third day of meditation, my husband and I sat alone. Instead of closing my eyes, I consulted my oracle cards to guide my mind through the chaos of its thoughts. These urged me to stop pushing rivers and allow life to flow, recognize appreciation when shared and find a way to express myself with strength, grace and sincerity.
Yesterday, I took my meditation in the park, nowhere near 11:11, as I strolled my infant son. At home, my husband built a pretend world with my stepson after posting to Facebook his thoughts on God's existence independent of religion, and my daughter napped deeply in the safe embrace of her room as I rounded a weatherworn track at the local park. The vision that unfolded happened in real-time as I watched the birds ascend from the ice-speckled ground. First, I saw a small memorial built to honor men who fell in war and, just beyond that, a steeple rising up through the snow. Then, after the signs of politics and religion, was an empty expanse of sun-sparkling snow, spreading out alongside the railroad tracks, reminding me of Rumi's field which exists somewhere beyond all ideas of right-doing and wrong. The thought, "May this be the future," lit quickly in my brain. Resting in his carriage, facing toward me, my sleeping son smiled, and we headed home.

Two friends and I were taking pictures outside a big, beautiful, old, church when one of them discovered we were allowed to tour the church and take pictures inside. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the orgainist even played some music for us on the pipe organ.
The ornaments were beautiful!

When contemporary historians deny that "real" history can include good storytelling, I think of Herodotus, the storyteller extraordinaire. Now, it turns out that his careful recording of outrageous and colorful local stories may have captured a bit of truth that others missed:
Geneticists have added an edge to a 2,500-year-old debate over the origin of the Etruscans, a people whose brilliant and mysterious civilization dominated northwestern Italy for centuries until the rise of the Roman republic in 510 B.C. Several new findings support a view held by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus — but unpopular among archaeologists — that the Etruscans originally migrated to Italy from the Near East.
* * *
An even more specific link to the Near East is a short statement by Herodotus that the Etruscans emigrated from Lydia, a region on the eastern coast of ancient Turkey. After an 18-year famine in Lydia, Herodotus reports, the king dispatched half the population to look for a better life elsewhere. Under the leadership of his son Tyrrhenus, the emigrating Lydians built ships, loaded all the stores they needed, and sailed from Smyrna (now the Turkish port of Izmir) until reaching Umbria in Italy.
Despite the specificity of Herodotus' account, archaeologists have long been skeptical of it. There are also fanciful elements in Herodotus' story, like the Lydians' being the inventors of games like dice because they needed distractions to take their minds off the famine. And Lydian, unlike Etruscan, is definitely an Indo-European language. Other ancient historians entered the debate. Thucydides favored a Near Eastern provenance, but Dionysius of Halicarnassus declared the Etruscans native to Italy.
* * *
With the geneticists in disarray, archaeologists had been able to dismiss their results. But a new set of genetic studies being reported seems likely to lend greater credence to Herodotus' long-disputed account.
Three new and independent sources of genetic data all point to the conclusion that Etruscan culture was imported to Italy from somewhere in the Near East.
* * *
As for Herodotus, Ms. Jovino said she believed, liked most modern historians, "that he does not always report real historical facts." often referring to oral tradition.
But at least on the matter of Etruscan origins, it seems that Herodotus may yet enjoy the last laugh.

Because getting just over the freeway from Downtown is far easier than getting to, say, Sorrento, Italy, you should probably just hit this iconic Seattle overnighter, where they've been romancing guests for over 100yrs with rich Italian architecture and luxuriously appointed dining & drinking establishments.
The Ace Hotel won't break your bank and is conveniently situated in Belltown, which means you can use the cash you saved on the room and spend it on the great nightlife that surrounds this minimalist hotel.
Hotel Bellevue is located on a luscious 9 acre plot of land situated between Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains. Between the 200,000sqft adjoining fitness center and four different restaurants to choose from, Hotel Bellevue will make you forget how close you really are to the city.
Served by one of Seattle's best sushi joints, the boutique Hotel Max may seem attractive for its loads of headroom, but don't forget that entire place is littered with sweet art and portraiture.
The Edgewater is an upscale waterfront hotel located minutes away from the Port of Seattle ferries and Pike Place Market. The rustic-elegant ambiance will make you feel like you're staying in a luxurious log cabin, except it isn't actually in the woods but instead on a pier over Elliot Bay. (Regardless, no rustic lobby lounge would be complete without a stone fireplace, and they've got one.) Within the hotel is the Six Seven Restaurant, famous for its waterside indoor and outdoor seating which offers breathtaking views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound.
The riotously colorful Hotel Five is located where four of The Town's sweetest 'hoods (that's South Lake Union, Queen Anne, Belltown & Downtown) meet, and its seriously laid-back vibe will make you appreciate not having to travel far to reach any of them.
If you're looking to stay at the edge of downtown's shopping district, then Hotel Ändra's for you, turning a former transfer station during World War II into the subtly modern boutique home to super-chef Tom Douglas.
At the intersection of Seattle's downtown and the nightlife-heavy Belltown district, the historic Moore Hotel is an affordable, no-frills overnighter perched atop the eponymous theater where the video for Pearl Jam's Evenflow was shot.

You're in a large arena excited about a night full of music and celebration. The announcer for the night has left the stage and in comes the first artist: a petite young woman with unique style and an amazing presence about her. She sits at a piano. She begins to play and the room fall completely silent. When she starts singing, jaws drop to the floor. You, my good friend, have just had your first experience of a live performance by the incomparable Leah Smith.
Leah Smith is a 20 year old singer/songwriter and musician who hails from North Philidelphia. Her flawless vocal stylings and classically trained musicianship work together to bring encouragement and wisdom to people that have the priviledge of listening to her music. From upbeat tracks like "Monster" to the thoughtful and relatable "Beautifully Made," Leah relays an amazing message to her listeners. When I spoke with her to learn more about this message, Leah said that through her music she wants to be able to represent Jesus in a mainstream setting. "I'm trying to reach an un-churched demographic," she says, " I want to live, perform and write in a way that will draw people to Jesus because of the marked difference in the music. The music represents hope and love to people who don't know Him."
Leah's soon to be released EP tells a story and each song has its own unique message. "I want people to listen to this album and say, 'There's hope for me. I'm not a mistake.'"
The EP, aptly entitled "Beautifully Made," will be released on 10/20/2009. You'll want to be close to a computer on that day, as the EP will be released online. After you've purchased it, set your music player of choice to "repeat all" and enjoy.
