Obedience That Hurts
by Cate Russell-Cole
7/29/2016 / Christian Living
I love the promise of Psalm 37:3-4
"Trust in the LORD and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the LORD,
and He will give you your heart's desires."
This is a beautiful verse which I have read and heard mentioned many, many times. It's good news for any of us who have dreams, and are hoping for the will of God to prevail, so that we may achieve that thing which we want so dearly.
David had one great dream which he poured everything he had into: he wanted to build a temple to house the Presence of God and the Ark of the Covenant. 1 Chronicles 22:5 tells us that David said, "...the Temple to be built for the LORD must be a magnificent structure, famous and glorious throughout the world, I will begin making preparations for it now." So David collected vast amounts of building materials before his death."
He also sorted out the rosters and duties of the priests and temple musicians and in 1 Chronicles 29:3-5, David gives his personal wealth to his dream. "And now, because of my devotion to the Temple of my God, I am giving all of my own private treasures of gold and silver to help in the construction. This is in addition to the building materials I have already collected for his holy Temple. I am donating more than 112 tons of gold from Ophir and 262 tons of refined silver to be used for overlaying the walls of the buildings and for the other gold and silver work to be done by the craftsmen. Now then, who will follow my example and give offerings to the LORD today?"
If you want something in life, you need to be prepared to give. You must sacrifice, stay true to your vision and invest your time and energy in hard work, regardless of what obstacles you face. Success is achieved by effort, faithful devotion to the Lord and consistently pressing forward. In the end, it's worth it.
But what if you never get to see your dream fulfilled? What if you are not allowed to see your dream fulfilled and have to pass it onto someone else? This is what happened to David.
In 2 Samuel 7, God accepts David's desire to build Him a house and establishes a covenant with David which will lead to the birth of the Messiah, Jesus, who comes from David's line. That is a massive promise, which overwhelmed David. He would not have understood the full implications, but he certainly understood how much God was honouring him. But despite how much he pleased the Lord, and no matter how great his desire was to have Yahweh worshipped in a manner befitting to his God, this happened: "But the LORD said to me, 'You have killed many men in the battles you have fought. And since you have shed so much blood in My sight, you will not be the one to build a Temple to honor My Name." 2 Chronicles 22:8 It must have crushed David.
The amount of time it took David to plan, design and put all the materials aside for the temple was extensive, and demonstrates his absolute dedication to his dream. He worked on the temple down the the last detail, as shown in 1 Chronicles 28:11-19.
"Then David gave Solomon the plans for the Temple and its surroundings, including the entry room, the storerooms, the upstairs rooms, the inner rooms, and the inner sanctuarywhich was the place of atonement. David also gave Solomon all the plans he had in mind for the courtyards of the LORD's Temple, the outside rooms, the treasuries, and the rooms for the gifts dedicated to the LORD. The king also gave Solomon the instructions concerning the work of the various divisions of priests and Levites in the Temple of the LORD. And he gave specifications for the items in the Temple that were to be used for worship.
David gave instructions regarding how much gold and silver should be used to make the items needed for service. He told Solomon the amount of gold needed for the gold lampstands and lamps, and the amount of silver for the silver lampstands and lamps, depending on how each would be used. He designated the amount of gold for the table on which the Bread of the Presence would be placed and the amount of silver for other tables.
David also designated the amount of gold for the solid gold meat hooks used to handle the sacrificial meat and for the basins, pitchers, and dishes, as well as the amount of silver for every dish. He designated the amount of refined gold for the altar of incense. Finally, he gave him a plan for the LORD's "chariot"the gold cherubim whose wings were stretched out over the Ark of the LORD's Covenant. "Every part of this plan," David told Solomon, "was given to me in writing from the hand of the LORD."
This is one of the events in David's life which makes me stop and wonder how I would handle being in the same position. I would have a terrible time with it. I like to have a vision, but I like to see results. To be able to make preparations to that extent and not be able to even lay the foundation, would test my dedication to that vision to the maximum extent. David had bought the land at least a decade before he died. His offer to build the temple came a long time before that. It's not as if this was an idea he had late in life, when he was rich enough to throw it all together and didn't have to live with the restriction for long. This was a long-term disappointment, and perhaps a long term frustration.
When Nathan gives David God's response to his desire to build a temple in 2 Samuel 7, there is no mention of David being told he couldn't be the builder at that time. He must have found out afterwards, perhaps as he searched for land? Perhaps as he sought the Lord for guidance on what He desired? After rejoicing over God's acceptance of his gift and the making of the Davidic covenant, "no, not you," must have been a painful shock. We don't know when this happened or how, but it certainly shows David's great love for the Lord that he continued on. When the temple was built he wouldn't be there to enjoy it, neither would he be there to gain any glory from it. (Though he was honoured by both God and man at that time. See 2 Chronicles chapters 5 to 7.)
What astounds me is that David obeyed, no matter how much it hurt. That is incredibly hard to do, especially for a King who is accustomed and entitled to be obeyed. He could have taken the egotistical route and done what he wanted, anyway; but David knew how to be humble. He accepted that no was no, and he stuck by the rules. That is not typical behaviour for many of us, let alone for a monarch.
This part of David's life is a lesson in how to deal with disappointment and how to stay faithful, no matter what. However, the aspect which stands out clearer to me than anything else, is how much David communicated with the Lord to put all the plans for the temple together. He would have spent many hours in prayer and waiting on God for guidance and that time would have been incredibly precious. That is the real lesson in this example of David's life: if you want to serve and honour God: invest everything you've got in the time you spend with Him.

Elizabeth Alexander thanked all those who had contributed to making this birthday party so enjoyable
Inverbervie and District Probus Club
"Time well spent"
Chris Greene introduced the speaker, Don Clark from Arbroath, to talk about the History of Timex, Dundee.
Don began his career with Timex as a junior product engineer and saw many changes as he progressed through the ranks during his 32 years with the company. During his time, he visited many of the company's overseas factories.
Don gave a fascinating history of the company from its founding in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company in Waterbury, Connecticut, USA. It went through numerous amalgamations, take-overs and ownerships during which it became the world's largest manufacturer of cheap, throwaway watches. Surprisingly, wrist watches were not invented until the American entry into the First World War and a need for the artillery gunners to read the time while working the guns. The Westbury Clock Company found an ideal solution by adapting the Ingersoll ladies' midget pocket watch, adding lugs, a canvas strap plus luminous hands and numbers.
Timex moved into Dundee in 1946. At their peak they employed 6,000 people, spread around 3 factories. Watches were their main business of course, but not only time pieces were manufactured. They also produced under contract Polaroid cameras & flash guns, Nimslo 3D cameras, Clive Sinclair's Spectrum micro-computers, flat screen cathode ray tubes and TDI batteries for mobile phones.
By the 1980s the Timex Corporation had become a major employer in Dundee. From the early part of that decade the company attempted to streamline their operations in the city. It had been losing $6m per year due to difficulties in competing with the Far East. This led to attempts to reduce wages and cut the size of the workforce. These attempts were resisted by the workers and their Trade Union. In early January 1993, there were proposed layoffs at the factory. A ballot for strike action came out at 92% in favour, while requests for negotiation and arbitration were ignored. On 29 January, the workers came out on strike. They offered to return to work on 17 February, however were told by management that there would be a cut of 10% across the board. When they refused to accept those conditions they were locked out. Grey buses shipped in outside workers to replace the strikers and keep production going. The picket lines were visited in support by Arthur Scargill, Tommy Sheridan, Alex Salmon and others. None of whom, it is said, visited management. On 28 August 1993 the factory, which still had a full order book, shut following six months of confrontational industrial unrest. Production was transferred elsewhere. Dundee lost a major employer and gained a bad reputation.
After Don capably answered numerous questions, Geoff Goodyear expressed the gratitude of members for time well spent.
We started off our 2016 year of meetings with a talk on Nuclear Submarines and Escape Procedures following on from a talk by the same speaker one year ago on his life in the Royal Navy on Nuclear Submarines.
The speaker Chris Greene, was introduced by the new President for 2016, Denis Bell who had just received the Chain of Office from Past President Malcolm McCoig. Chris is the Secretary of the Inverbervie and District Probus Club and served for more than 25 years in the Royal Navy, so was very knowledgeable in the operation of submarines as he played an active part in the care and maintenance of the mechanical and electrical features of the vessel while at sea.
However, his talk was to concentrate on methods of escape from the submarine should this be necessary after an accident at sea possibly caused by a collision with another vessel, either under or above the sea's surface.
Chris, using a laptop, projector and screen, then showed his audience the construction of the Tower, through which the men would pass and the position of any hatches, lights and methods of releasing the hatches.
He then covered the men and their survival suits, the one-man dinghies which would open on surfacing and methods of survival until rescue was possible from ships or helicopters arriving with men and rescue aids. A full detailed plan, carefully carried out in training at on-shore bases, would then be instigated if evacuation was necessary. Another method of rescue was the N.A.T.O. Submarine Rescue System which comprised a Remote Operated Undersea Vessel which could be launched in the recovery system.
This vessel could also carry 15 survivors coming through an escape hatch on the submarines hull, using a sealed system of transfer without ingress of water. The survivors would then be transferred to another submarine or a surface vessel, and the whole procedure repeated until all evacuation of survivors had taken place.
The Rescue Vessel also had a Decompression Chamber, to prevent the onset of 'Bends' when survivors would travel too quickly to the surface. The Rescue Vessel operated with a three-man crew and its total weight is 30 tons.
Chris then talked in reply to questions from his audience, on submarines that had been damaged in collisions and others that sank for other reasons and the possibilities of rescue for the men in each vessel. The meeting closed with a Vote of Thanks from Bill Sommerville, the new Vice President, on behalf of Mearns Club Members.
Laurenecekirk and District Inner Wheel
Ladies from the Inner Wheel Club of Laurencekirk and District enjoyed a talk and demonstration by local chocolatier, Charlotte Benvie, from Wardhill in Brechin. Charlotte trained with Master Chocolatier Ruth Hinks, of Cocoa Black, and now makes hand-crafted chocolates and cake-pops from her home kitchen. She won a Great Taste award for her dark chocolate bon bons in 2013, which have now been joined by white chocolate and vanilla, and strawberry varieties. She runs classes from her kitchen, in which clients learn to make filled chocolates, truffles and her brightly printed chocolate lollies. Half day and full day courses are on offer, inclusive of lunch.
Assisting Charlotte, as she demonstrated the techniques involved in making truffles, was her sister in law Dawn. This year, has seen Carlotta's Chocolates set up their first Pop Up Shop in Edzell. Throughout the demonstration the ladies were fortunate to be allowed to sample some of the fillings.
In January, President Gladys Johnston hosted an afternoon tea, with proceeds going to Parkinson UK. This was the chosen charity of Trish Douglas from Montrose, Association President for the Inner Wheel Clubs of Great Britain and Ireland for 2015- 2016. To date, the sum of £169 has been raised by Laurencekirk.
At the January meeting, Rotary President Alan Smith was the speaker. He presented a talk and slide show of his experiences at the Commonwealth Games – Glasgow 2014.
Entitled "More to Glasgow than the Commonwealth Games", Alan initially applied to be a volunteer at the games but in the end enjoyed the spectacle of the event as a spectator. He was fortunate in being able to have tickets for 5 events in 7 days.
Having an affinity with Glasgow as a graduate in Civil Engineering and having a Glaswegian wife, Alan was well acquainted with many of the venues for the games. Whilst attending the various venues for the specific sports, Alan photographed some of the buildings and was able to share some history with the Inner Wheel ladies. Ibrox , the venue for Rugby at the games was the scene of two major football crowd disasters, in 1902 and 1971.
Kelvingrove Park close to the Kelvingrove Museum was the venue for the bowling competitions. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum houses one of Europe's great art collections.
As the marathon took place he photographed Hillside Railway Bridge which had been built with iron from the Clutha Works. Clutha is the Roman name for the Clyde and is also the name of the bar where ten people died as the result of a police helicopter crash in 2013.
Another building observed during his visit was Hutchesons' Hall. The original Hutchesons' Hospital was erected in 1660 after George Hutcheson left an endowment stating his wishes for a hospital to be built for sick and old men. His brother Thomas Hutcheson later added to the endowment that the new building should also accommodate a school for orphaned boys. The hospital stood at the Trongate until it was demolished in 1795 and in the same year the Patrons of the Hospital purchased grounds on Ingram St. In 1802 the patrons commissioned David Hamilton, one of Glasgow's great architects to design and oversee the construction of a new hospital building. Hutchesons' Hall, one of Glasgow's finest and most elegant buildings was completed in 1805.
The new building was planned to accommodate offices and meeting rooms for the hospital patrons as well as school rooms, but just five years after the building opened the school became overcrowded and a new purpose built school was constructed next door. Also viewed was the Gallery of Modern Art in Queen Street, close to the scene of another disaster in December 2014 when six people lost their lives when a bin lorry driver lost control of his vehicle. The podiums on which the Commonwealth Games athletes received their medals had been crafted from fallen trees around the city. Elm wood was used for the gold section of the podiums and sycamore for the silver and bronze sections. Wooden quaichs from Glasgow elm wood were also presented to medal winners. Thanks to both speakers for their entertaining talks were expressed by President Gladys.
News from Stonehaven Rotary Club
The speaker at last Wednesday's lunchtime meeting was Rotarian Ivan Groundwater. It was his week to arrange a speaker or speak himself and, as he began by explaining, it was the latter choice as the speaker whom he had hoped to invite was not available. He went on to say that as, Rotarians might be aware, the second week in January is allegedly the most depressing week of the year and he apologized that his presentation was not likely to do anything to help!! After this self-deprecating start, Ivan went on to give a fascinating talk on aspects of the club's history, based on items in the Club's archives, of which he is the appointed archivist. One of the items which he produced a bag containing a number of black and white balls. He explained that in the past, when the name of a potential new member was proposed, members, there was a secret voting system using the balls. A supply of black and white balls was provided and each voter placed a single ball into the ballot box under cover of the bag. If any black balls were placed in the bag, the person was not invited to join. As this system has not been used for a long time, there were current members for whom this was a surprising history lesson! Ivan went on to focus particularly on events to mark the Club's 50th Charter in 1997 and told members that when the planning for these events began, it was decided to produce a booklet to record the club's history, which was achieved and distributed to members as a souvenir. He reminded members that as the club was founded in November 1947, November 2017 will be the club's 70th Charter and at the Council meeting, which followed the club meeting, the wheels have now been set in motion for events to celebrate this milestone. President Elect Billy Hunter thanked Ivan for what had been a funny, interesting and very relevant talk and the official vote of thanks was by fellow Rotarian George Forrester.
Next Wednesday there will be no lunchtime meeting as this is the Club's annual Burns supper and will take place in the evening at the Station Hotel. Russell Adams has been invited to propose the toast to the immortal Memory and a number of Rotary club members will do the Selkirk Grace, the address to the haggis and the toast to, and reply from, the Lassies.
This Saturday sees the first of two District rounds in the Rotary Young Chef competition. The first takes place at Aberdeen College and Isla Davies and last year's UK finalist Heather Nisbet who were the joint winners of Stonehaven Rotary Club's local round of this competition will be competing for a place in the Regional finals in Livingston in March.

Prize Reflections
Tomorrow, I'm off to New York for a number of obligations, among them the deliberation of the National Book Awards. It's no secret. I'm on the nonfiction jury. Unlike the Pulitzer, the NBA divulges its jury members early on. The only surprise is that, as far as I know, not one of the judges on my jury has been rushed, lobbied or harassed. So the vote for transparency seems a wise approach.
Nonetheless, the prospect of making a final judgment has me thinking about past prizes and the difficult business of picking a winner. We all know that, too often, the process has been fraught with distractions and complications. For instance: William Faulkner was given the Nobel in 1949, when he was still a relatively unknown writer. Thereafter, his own country's award juries seemed to scramble to try to catch up. He received the National Book Award twice, once for his Collected Stories (1951) and once for a distincly minor work, A Fable (1955). And he was conferred the Pulitzer for the same A Fable and another fairly light work The Reivers (1962). But his masterworks -- The Sound and the Fury (1929) and As I Lay Dying (1930), not to mention Absalom, Absalom! (1936)--were famously ignored.
Hemingway, too, was awarded the Pulitzer in 1953 for, of all things, The Old Man and the Sea, a distinctly lesser work. And then he was given the Nobel the next year, in 1954. But he was never really honored for his best work, For Whom the Bell Tolls, published in 1939.
An then there's Flannery O'Connor, one of the most gifted American writers of all time, who was given the 1971 National Book Award posthumously for a collection of short stories, seven years after her death.
There are any number of interesting anecdotes and points of history that come to mind when one reviews our awards history. I was just reminded, for instance, that in 1972, everyone scratched their heads when The Whole Earth Catalog , a quirky record of the counterculture, was given the National Book Award. And yet, 35 years later, Steve Jobs credited that book as being the forerunner of Google and the worldwide Web.
So prizes can either recognize a vanguard or desperately try to mete out a late justice. Or, as I'm hoping, as I head into deliberations, make an enlightened and timely choice.
What are the books you think have unjustly eluded the awards? Fiction and nonfiction, alike.

"Prize Reflections" is an interesting piece--fun to see it within the context you laid out. One small thing: I wonder if Faulkner was "still a relatively unknown writer" when he received the Nobel in 1949. It is true, America was slow to recognize the greatness--the French existentialists were famously way ahead of us--but much of that changed with key publications like Malcolm Cowley's "The Portable Faulkner" (1946) which also contained the Yoknapatawpha map.

Thank you for this comment, Lenexa. I suppose I could have been clearer. What I meant is that Faulkner was, at that time, something of a cult writer. Sure, he was a quantity, but he wasn't seen as a prizewinner.

I think "The Sun Also Rises" has stood the test of time better than "For Whom the Bell Tolls." That "earth moving" sex scene sounds incredibly cheesy nowadays.

Farmers Insurance has launched a new rewards credit card offering triple points on every dollar spent on home improvements, gas and fuel. All other purchases net one point per dollar. As a sign-up bonus, once a person spends $500 during the first three months 3,000 points will be added to their account.
The Farmers Rewards Visa Card was created as a way for the company to give back to their customers. "The card's value-added features bring the Farmers brand of smart to customers in a whole new way," said Mike Linton, chief marketing officer for Farmers Insurance. "This program recognizes customers for their loyalty and provides an easy way for them to earn rewards points for what they are already doing – paying their Farmers products, buying gas, and enhancing their lifestyles with home improvement purchases."
The new card is issued by Alliance Data's Card Services, and will be available to customers in New Jersey, Washington and Ohio.
Bonuses, extras and redeeming points
Every year on the anniversary of opening the account, cardholders receive and extra 1,000 Thank You points. There is no limit to how many points people can earn on purchases and points never expire.
During the first year there is a 0% APR and after that it usually falls in the 13.24% – 20.24% range depending on the Prime Rate and the cardholders credit score. And there is no annual fee for this card.
Points can be redeemed for trips, gift cards, and merchandise, but they can also be used to offset the cost of purchases.
This is a pilot program by Farmers Insurance Group and the card is expected to be rolled out across the U.S in the fall. Along with the full program they expect to be adding more card enhancements and new capabilities during the first year.
Farmers Insurance Group is a U.S. based insurer of houses, small businesses and automobiles, as well as offering additional insurance and financial services products. They currently provide services throughout the U.S. and have 19 million individual policies in their portfolio.

My First Grandchild
My grandson and I have been enjoying phone conversations and texting this year. The first time my grandson said he wanted to come out here to have some time with me, it took a while to digest. My first reaction was to tell him that there isn't anything for him to do out here, and that I am only around older people, that he would bored here.
Each time the subject was brought up, I realized that where I live, what I do, who I see in my everyday life is not the important thing, my grandson wants to come to spend some time with me in person. Duh.
My apartment is not put back together and there is still work to be done here; however, my cat Lola and I are comfortable and living our normal life. It would be so sweet and loving to have time with my dear grandson. I left California over six years ago, so that is how long since I have been with him.
I find myself looking forward to seeing him and being around him, the grownup young man he is now. Soon.

Awww! This is such a heart-warming post CiCi. Your grandchildren are lucky to have you.
I know the void of not having the opportunity to spend a childhood with grandparents around and being pampered and spoiled by them.
Hope you have a great time with your grandson when he visits you :)

Feel honored that he wants to visit you. From what I've seen from others, it's usually the grandparent who asks the grandchildren to visit especially when they're older.

That's a great story and well told. It's so cool he is reaching out. I love it. He sounds like an amazing young man. I've met a few like that who just take people as people no matter age, gender, religion, etc. If they like you, they like you and all that other stuff just doesn't get in the way. I have one very special friend who really, we shouldn't be friends at all, but there we are, thick as thieves! We can learn a lot from these individuals. Can't wait to hear more about the visit and maybe see some pix!

When I went to visit my son in Ohio he kept telling me there's nothing to do there. It took him a while to understand that I didn't want to be entertained, I wanted to see HIM.
I love that your grandson wants to see YOU. Enjoy your time with him!

Sectarian Identities and the Arab Spring
Will sectarian identities derail the Arab Spring? Many observers fear that, were Bashar al-Asad to fall from power in Syria, the outcome would not be a transition to democracy but an outbreak of confessionally based violence, pitting the country's constituent religious groups against one another. The continued clashes between Muslims and Coptic Christians in Egypt likewise has led to fears that Mubarak's removal may represent a pyrrhic victory if religious based violence spreads. In Tunisia, threats against women by radical Islamists for not wearing "appropriate" Islamic dress has raised the specter of intervention by the army if these forces appear to be gaining too much power.
The problem of sectarianism continues to raise its ugly head in Iraq as well. Ethnically based violence persists, albeit at much lower levels than during the height of such strife between 2004 and 2007. The efforts of the Baghdad city council to ban alcohol earlier this year was seen as the beginning salvo in an effort to place constraints on, if not eventually close, Baghdad's famed social clubs and artist ateliers which are known not only for serving alcohol but for their avowedly secular cultural and political orientation and as venues where Iraqis from all ethnic and religious groups gather.
In an effort to better understand sectarianism in Iraq, I organized a special issue of the International Journal of Contemporary Iraqi Studies. The topic of the special issue is "the question of sectarian identities in Iraq." In addition to editing the issue and writing a theoretical introduction, I asked nine top scholars on Iraq to contribute to the issue.
The contributors include Adeed Dawisha, Peter Sluglett,Abbas Kadhim, Reider Visser, Orit Bashkin, Dina Khoury, Tareq and Jacqueline Ismael, and Bassam Yousif. The topics range from British efforts to manipulate sectarian tensions for purposes of colonial control, the impact of 1920 Revolution on sectarian identities, the position of Iraq's Jewish community in relation to sectarianism, Shi'a attitudes towards creation of a separate confessionally base state, the impact of the Iran-Iraq and Gulf wars on sectarian identities, the impact of expatriate politicians who returned to Iraq in the wake of the 2003 US invasion on sectarian identities, and the political economy of post-2003 sectarian identities in Iraq.
These historically and contemporary based essays emphasize that the dynamics of sectarian identities in Iraq are very complex. Nevertheless, the essays convincingly demonstrate that sectarian identities are a function of crises and the manipulation of these crises by political elites who seek to promote their narrow political and economic interests. Such elites have been historically referred to by Iraqis as the "merchants of politics" (tujjar al-siyasa). I prefer to call them "sectarian entrepreneurs."
At the same time, the journal essays underscore that sectarian identities cannot be seem as simply "socially and politically constructed." In Iraq, as in any nation-state, there are many histories, some of them tolerant and some of them politically divisive.
The Shi'a and Kurds, as well as other ethnoconfessional groups, have experienced social and political marginalization if not violence during the course of Iraqi history. That historical memory is always available in times of crisis for sectarian entrepreneurs to exploit needs to be recognized. While sectarian identities are rarely if ever "primordial" - so-called "ancient hatreds" - there is always a broad tableau of historical events that can be mobilized if the political and socioeconomic conditions are right.
What those who analyze sectarian identities often forget is the obverse, namely that ethnic groups can cooperate to achieve impressive political results. Indeed, the research by James Fearon and David Laitin shows that in ethnically divers societies, cooperation not conflict is the norm. The Iraqi nationalist movement, that began in the late 19th century but came into its own after the 1920 Revolution until it was viciously suppressed by the first Ba'thist regime that seized power in February 1963, was characterized by cross-ethnic cooperation. As I document in my Memories of State: Politics, History and Collective Identity in Modern Iraq, all of Iraq's ethnic groups - Sunni and Shi'i Muslims, Kurds, Christians, Jews, Turkmen and other ethnic groups participated in the nationalist struggle.
If we look at Egypt, we see that it too developed a nationalist movement that, like Iraq, included Muslims, Christians and Jews. Tolerance and cross-ethnic cooperation have been the rule in Iraq's modern history. Only during the UN sanctions of the 1990s did sectarian identities begin to spread in Iraq and only during the immediate post-2003 period did Iraq experience persistent sectarian violence.
And we need to remember that, in Iraq, ethnically based violence was facilitated by the ill-advised US decision to dissolve the conscript army and the national police in May 2003. If that decision had not been taken, it is highly unlikely that the Ba'thist and al-Qa'ida sponsored insurgencies would have gotten off the ground.
In a future posting, I will report on my findings with focus groups of Iraq youth between the ages between 14 and 30. The positive findings are that these youth are not supportive of sectarianism. Young people realize that sectarianism threatens their future. They know that. all too often, they are the ones who suffer from ethnically based violence.

Classic vehicle purists tend to want the very best of what they can find for their restored or project vehicles. The pride that comes with a complete restoration is an experience which relatively few ever share. When every bolt, seam, and clamp is tightened, and there isn't a scratch on the paint, is there anything beyond perfect? For drivers and restorers of classic diesel vehicles, there is: perfect and sustainable. If a classic diesel vehicle has been restored with modern hoses and seals, it may already be prepared to run on biodiesel.
Biodiesel is diesel fuel created through processing organic waste materials such as animal fat and discarded vegetable matter. Biodiesel is already included as part of many existing diesel fuel blends, and blends containing specific percentages of biodiesel are already widely available. The blends B2, B5, and B10 (containing 2%, 5%, and 10% biodiesel, respectively) are considered safe for use in any diesel engine without modification, and are typically not in conflict with manufacturer warranties on newer vehicles. The B20 blend (20% biodiesel) is becoming more available, and some manufacturers are considering expanding warranty coverage to include it. B100 (pure biodiesel) is not currently covered under any manufacturer warranty, but this is generally of little concern to classic vehicle enthusiasts.
Any diesel vehicle can use biodiesel, though in some cases it may require some slight modifications. Though biodiesel production does not currently match the availability of fossil-fuels, it does offer a sustainable resource that can both reduce dependence on fossil-fuels, and reduce pollution as well.
Advantages of Biodiesel:
There are a number of reasons why owners of classics should switch to biodiesel. Here are several:
- Biodiesel is environmentally friendly: Vehicles that run on biodiesel produce less pollution compared to vehicles that run on standard diesel. The emissions from biodiesel use are typically lower overall, and less toxic to the environment.
- Biodiesel is cheaper: It is considerably cheaper compared to other types of fuels. Many have invested in the materials needed to process biodiesel at home, and while this may be the most efficient and cost-saving method, because it is produced from waste materials which do not need to be extracted (as fossil-fuels do) biodiesel is also typically less expensive in locations where it is available at the pump.
- Biodiesel requires little commitment: In general, any modification of a vehicle made to improve its use with biodiesel is entirely compatible with traditional diesel fuels. There is typically no need for any reversions in order to run standard diesel fuel.
Biodiesel and the Environment
As concepts of sustainability expand to encompass a broader range of people, biodiesel itself has become increasingly popular. Reports have revealed that biodiesel can help to reduce greenhouse gas emission to a significant degree. The use of biodiesel also reduces the environmentally unfriendly activities associated with oil drilling. According to the Renewable Fuel Standards Program Regulatory Impact Analysis which was released in February 2010, biodiesel which is produced from soy oils help to reduce greenhouse gases by up to 57 percent and biodiesel produced from waste products help to reduce greenhouse gases up to 86 percent in comparison to the fossil fuels.
Modifications Required For Biodiesel Use:
At minimum, modifying a classic diesel vehicle to run on biodiesel may require no effort at all. If a classic has been restored with modern, synthetic hoses and seals, it is relatively immune from the slightly corrosive effect which many biodiesel blends can have on natural rubber materials.
One factor that all biodiesel users must consider is temperature. While most classic vehicle owners do not drive their vehicles in the winter, in areas where temperatures drop significantly at night, it should be noted that depending on the makeup, some biodiesel blends will solidify under warmer conditions than will standard diesel fuel. The specific point at which this occurs should be identified, and if this point is frequently reached, measures must be taken to assure full compatibility.
Counteracting the solidification can take several forms. In some areas, owners will simply install heating elements around fuel lines and in some cases, the fuel tank. In areas where temperatures fall further, some owners may choose to install a separate fuel tank, often with heating coils which circulate engine coolant. When the engine has warmed the fuel sufficiently, a switch can be thrown to select the biodiesel, and the vehicle will operate normally.
Lastly, under some circumstances, biodiesel users have found that slight adjustments in engine timing may improve performance with their biodiesel vehicles, and while this is arguably the biggest concern when one wishes to maintain the ability to use standard diesel fuel, it is far from a universal requirement, and is largely dependent on the operating conditions and biodiesel blend being used.
Important Things to Remember:
After any required modifications, the use of biodiesel requires only that the driver remember three key points on a daily basis:
- Biodiesel has solvent properties, and should be handled with care. If spilled, it can harm automotive finishes and other appointments. Cleanup should be undertaken as quickly as possible.
- Biodiesel has a limited life span. According to the National Biodiesel Board, biodiesel should be used within 6 months of its production. It may not maintain its performance and consistency after its expiration date.
- Biodiesel solidifies at warmer temperatures, and more quickly than conventional diesel fuels.

There are many reasons why you might decide to get a formal valuation of your business. Whether you are considering selling, merging or expanding your business, industry experts like John Kleinheinz can tell you that the critical first step is to understand the different ways that the value of a business can be determined. Each of these approaches has its own strengths and weaknesses which should be fully understood so that you can decide on the best method for you to suit your particular needs and situation.
A common way to determine the value of a business is by estimating the business' anticipated future earnings. Obviously, there is a degree of guess work involved, and any such estimations must take account of market and business trends going forward. Some ways to calculate this will look strictly at expected trends, and others will extrapolate based on past earnings to get an average. Clearly, the value will depend on whether you take an optimistic or pessimistic view of future conditions, and you could find yourself with a business that has been over or under-valued. The advantage of this method is that it determines a value based on a reasonable expectation of worth in the coming period, and is especially useful if the company is poised to introduce new technology or open in new markets.
Asset-based approaches to valuing a business seem to be the most objective in that they don't rely on predictions about future trends, and because most assets (but not all) can be quantified in dollar terms. Asset-based approaches determine the value of a business based on the assets it holds minus any liabilities. Assets include property, equipment, bank accounts and other assets, and liabilities generally refers to debts or accounts owing. While it seems quite straight-forward, it can sometimes be difficult to get an accurate accounting of assets if the business in question is a sole proprietorship. This is because sole proprietors may be using assets for both business and personal use. It is also hard to attach a dollar amount to intangible assets like brand recognition or reputation.
Market value
This approach may be the most intuitive approach to valuing your business in that it is a measure of what people are willing to pay. In that sense, there is a fairly objective component in that there are quantifiable assets. But this approach also creates space for the intangible assets in your business. For example, your business might have an exceptional reputation, or extremely loyal customers or staff. It might be located in an area that is expected to "boom." It can be somewhat difficult to gauge what people will pay, however, without entering the market or finding out what a comparable business sold for recently. This approach can be of great use because it balances the question of what people are willing to pay for your business against an accounting of its assets and liabilities or its anticipated income. For example, you might find that your assets have value of X dollars but that people are willing to pay much more than their current worth to acquire them. Or, you might find that despite predictions of high income over the next year, no one is willing to pay for that promise in the present.
Clearly, each of these approaches has strengths and weaknesses. For this reason, you should consider using each approach to establish the range of possibilities rather than taking the evaluation from any single method on its own.

Many homeowners just assume they cannot do any sort of plumbing on their own. The term "plumbing" can be somewhat intimidating – but it literally means moving water from place to place. Clogged drains, then, are plumbing's natural enemy. Stuck drains, like most plumbing problems, can be prevented through proper use and regular maintenance. Don't let clogged drains stop you. Hard water – water with high mineral content – can leave deposits to clog pipes over time. Consider installing a traditional sulfur softener. These units require cutting the pipe, so it's probably best to hire a professional plumber for this one. It will avoid a lot more visits from a pro in the future.

So today will mark the first day I will start the grueling process of testing out my list for the Bugeater GT coming up on June 7th. Not only do I need to test out the list against a variety of opponents, but I also need to paint, making my problem two-fold. If I want to run the list I have posted, I will need to paint the following:
20 Guardians
2 Lance Platforms
7 Fire Dragons
Build/Paint 1 Wave Serpent
Build and Paint a rider for my Farseer on Bike
Bases for all
A tall order for one such as me as I do not paint very fast. I obviously could borrow some of the models if need be, and I probably will to be honest.
Tonight I will be battling against Omega Prime's Necrons. He said his usual Flier list will be different to account for the Imperial Knights and the Nid formations as well. I look forward to this battle as we have not thrown dice against each other for 5 months. Plus, I know his list will be strong so I look forward to the competition.
Also, this Sunday is the Twin-Linked Tournament at Great Escape Games. Me and my buddy Big Ray Barrera will be together again to try and defend our regular season crown of Twin-Linked Champions.
I am hoping to have updates of models I have painted this week and will report on the Twin-Linked.

I actually came really close to registering for Fantasy instead of 40k, but decided that I would just get crushed and that I will have more fun with 40k. Let's hope I wasn't wrong :)ReplyDelete

Psychosocial factors involved in memory and cognitive failures in
people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome

Background: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
(ME/CFS) is characterized by persistent emotional, mental, and
physical fatigue accompanied by a range of neurological, autonomic,
neuroendocrine, immune, and sleep problems. Research has shown that
psychosocial factors such as anxiety and depression as well as the
symptoms of the illness, have a significant impact on the quality of
life of people with ME/CFS. In addition, individuals may suffer from
deficits in memory and concentration. This study set out to explore
the relationships between variables which have been found to
contribute to cognitive performance, as measured by prospective and
retrospective memory, and cognitive failures.
Methods: Eighty-seven people with ME/CFS answered questionnaires
measuring fatigue, depression, anxiety, social support, and general
self-efficacy. These were used in a correlational design (multiple
regression) to predict cognitive function (self-ratings on prospective
and retrospective memory), and cognitive failures.
Results: Our study found that fatigue, depression, and general
self-efficacy were directly associated with cognitive failures and
retrospective (but not prospective) memory.
Conclusion: Although it was not possible in this study to determine
the cause of the deficits, the literature in this area leads us to
suggest that although the pathophysiological mechanisms of ME/CFS are
unclear, abnormalities in the immune system, including proinflammatory
cytokines, can lead to significant impairments in cognition. We
suggest that fatigue and depression may be a result of the
neurobiological effects of ME/CFS and in addition, that the
neurobiological effects of the illness may give rise to both fatigue
and cognitive deficits independently.

Rosh Hashana in Israel. September 29 - October 1, 2019
Rosh Hashana in Israel is one of the most special times of the year! Happy new year! Jewish New Year is called Rosh Hashana and usually falls during September or early October. Rosh Hashana is a two day holiday and businesses across Israel will be closed on both days so bear this in mind if you are in Israel during the period. In 2019, Rosh Hashana will begin at sundown on September 29, and end at sundown on October 1. In many ways, being in Israel during Rosh Hashana is like Shabbat where most businesses are closed.
Being in Israel during Rosh Hashana
If you are in Israel during the Rosh Hashana period, visiting a synagogue to hear the prayers is an amazing experience. Jews attend quite lengthy synagogue services, and recite special prayers and liturgical songs written over the centuries which vary between Jews who have developed different prayers based on where they were living for hundreds of years. The blowing of the shofar (ram's horn) is an iconic symbol of Rosh Hashana – 100 (or 101) shofar blasts are sounded in the synagogue to symbolize God's sovereignty over the world, to remind Jews of the giving of the commandments on Mt. Sinai, of Abraham and Isaac's devotion to God, to arouse people to repentance and to herald the Day of Judgment and the coming of the Messiah.
Symbols of Rosh Hashana in Israel
Other symbols of Rosh Hashana include apple and honey customarily eaten as well as other sweet foods to symbolize a sweet new year. Tashlich is a custom carried out on Rosh Hashanah afternoon where Jews to walk to a river, lakeshore or other open body of water, to shake out one's pockets and symbolically cast one's sins into the water. If you come to Israel during this period, it is interesting to see religious Jews performing this custom.
The period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is called "The Ten Days of Repentance," during which people have the opportunity to atone for their sins. Yom Kippur is a day when Israel grinds to a halt – check out this page for information about being in Israel during Yom Kippur.

Amidst the teeming diversity and cacophonous sprawl of Los Angeles are scores of people who specialize in making and selling dreams. There is probably no place on earth that has not been imagined or portrayed there and preserved on celluloid. But to truly experience the soul of a place, to connect with it, soak it in, and meaningfully interact with it, you really do need to be there. Perhaps it was with this mindset that Brian Allen Simon aka Anenon packed up his instruments in the spring of 2017 and left behind a roiling political/cultural climate for the serene and picturesque rolling hills of Tuscany, home to millenia of sublime artistic expression and enviable provincial life. There, in a makeshift attic studio on the third story of a 16th century villa in the small town of Palaia he embarked on a month long musical odyssey which resulted in his fourth LP entitled Tongue.
"I live in the city of ephemerality. The omnipresent LA light soaks my mind and body and moves me forward towards a dark and inconsistent absence of remembrance. Around me, histories are bought and sold daily in an unplanned, urban and suburban dwelling that on paper makes zero sense, but in reality has become a haven for wide open creative thinking and action that couldn't exist anywhere else…I wanted to make music that can live inside of anywhere one finds themselves: city or country. It's a series of shifting moods and melodies that through the heart, mind, hands, throat, and tongue sing an outpouring of metaphysical, nuanced psychedelic passing truth." – Brian Allen Simon

DESPERATE to save Mitt Romney's pres idential campaign in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, his advisers all wanted to attack Sen. John McCain but were divided about how to do it.
Coming out of a disappointing performance in Iowa, the Romney camp was united in the need to hit McCain hard for voting against President Bush's tax cuts. But the decision also to attack McCain's support for the liberal Bush immigration reform was opposed by a minority of Romney's advisers, who argued that taking a hard line on immigration did Romney no good in Iowa.
A footnote: Some 60 percent of New Hampshire "independents" who are Democratic-aligned voted for McCain in the 2000 Republican primary but are expected to be solid for Sen. Barack Obama in this year's Democratic primary. Still, McCain's strength with the remaining independents makes him the favorite against Romney on Tuesday.
NO sooner had Sen. Hillary Clinton slipped to a third-place finish in Iowa than her agents in Iowa were saying that their campaign would be content if she finished second in New Hampshire ahead of John Edwards and effectively drove him out of the race.
Those comments, in sharp contrast to Clinton's previous professions that her election as president was inevitable, constitute an attempt to lower expectations in New Hampshire. At the same time, Clinton has not abandoned hopes of defeating Obama in Tuesday's primary.
What Clinton can't afford in New Hampshire is another third-place finish behind Obama and Edwards.
EVEN before the bad news for Sen. Clinton was in from Iowa, two veteran Democratic political practitioners – Chuck Campion and Joe Grandmaison – were dispatched to New Hampshire to try to save her failing campaign.
Campion, a Massachusetts Democratic stalwart, has long been considered one of the Democratic Party's ace organizers. Not active until now in the 2008 campaign, Campion was a senior campaign aide for Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry in 2004.
Grandmaison long has been one of New Hampshire's top Democratic insiders. He now lives in Washington, D.C., where he is on the Export-Import Bank's board of directors.
PUBLISHED reports that Fred Thompson soon will withdraw from the GOP race and endorse McCain have been traced in part to the Romney campaign, trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson. But there is no question that McCain strategists would welcome Thompson's endorsement if he drops out. It could help McCain in the Jan. 19 South Carolina primary.
Thompson finished third in Iowa, slightly ahead of McCain but far behind Mike Huckabee and Romney.
With Rudy Giuliani finishing a poor fifth in Iowa and figuring to be no better than third in New Hampshire, his campaign is telling Republicans to be patient and wait for the former mayor of New York to win in California, New York and New Jersey on Feb. 5.
Those three states will send 326 delegates to the Republican conventions, compared to 232 delegates from all the states voting prior to Feb. 5. Thus, Giuliani could get back in the race by grabbing a big share of the California-New York-New Jersey jackpot.
The question is whether Giuliani will be viable on Feb. 5 if he fails to win a primary before then. His best chance for an early win will be in Florida on Jan. 29.

PRIVATE CARR: (Pulls himself free and comes forward) What's that you're saying about my king?
(Edward the Seventh appears in an archway. He wars a white jersey on which an image of the Sacred Heart is stitched with the insignia of Garter and Thistle, Golden Fleece, Elephant of Denmark, Skinner's and Probyn's horse, Lincoln's Inn bencher and ancient and honourable artillery company of Massachusetts. He sucks a red jujube. He is robed as a grand elect perfect and sublime mason with trowel and apron, marked made in Germany. In his left hand he holds a plasterer's bucket on which is printed Defense d'uriner. A roar of welcome greets him.)
EDWARD THE SEVENTH: (Slowly, solemnly but indistinctly) Peace, perfect peace. For identification, bucket in my hand. Cheerio, boys. (He turns to his subjects) We have come here to witness a clean straight fight and we heartily wish both men the best of good luck. Mahak makar a bak.
(He shakes hands with Private Carr, Private Compton, Stephen, Bloom and Lynch. General applause. Edward the Seventh lifts his bucket graciously in acknowledgment.)
PRIVATE CARR: (To Stephen) Say it again.
STEPHEN: (Nervous, friendly, pulls himself up) I understand your point of view though I have no king myself for the moment. This is the age of patent medicines. A discussion is difficult down here. But this is the point. You die for your country. Suppose. (He places his arm on Private Carr's sleeve) Not that I wish it for you. But I say: Let my country die for me. Up to the present it has done so. I didn't want it to die. Damn death. Long live life!
EDWARD THE SEVENTH: (Levitates over heaps of slain, in the garb and with the halo of Joking Jesus, a white jujube in his phosphorescent face)
My methods are new and are causing surprise. To make the blind see I throw dust in their eyes.
STEPHEN: Kings and unicorns! (He fills back a pace) Come somewhere and we'll . . . What was that girl saying? . . .
PRIVATE COMPTON: Eh, Harry, give him a kick in the knackers. Stick one into Jerry.
BLOOM: (To the privates, softly) He doesn't know what he's saying. Taken a little more than is good for him. Absinthe. Greeneyed monster. I know him. He's a gentleman, a poet. It's all right.
STEPHEN: (Nods, smiling and laughing) Gentleman, patriot, scholar and judge of impostors.
PRIVATE CARR: I don't give a bugger who he is.
PRIVATE COMPTON: We don't give a bugger who he is.
STEPHEN: I seem to annoy them. Green rag to a bull.
(Kevin Egan of Paris in black Spanish tasselled shirt and peep-o'-day boy's hat signs to Stephen.)
KEVIN EGAN: H'lo! Bonjour! The vieille ogresse with the dents jaunes.
(Patrice Egan peeps from behind, his rabbitface nibbling a quince leaf.)
PATRICE: Socialiste!
DON EMILE PATRIZIO FRANZ RUPERT POPE HENNESSY: (In medieval hauberk, two wild geese volant on his helm, with noble indignation points a mailed hand against the privates) Werf those eykes to footboden, big grand porcos of johnyellows todos covered of gravy!
BLOOM: (To Stephen) Come home. You'll get into trouble.
STEPHEN: (Swaying) I don't avoid it. He provokes my intelligence.
BIDDY THE CLAP: One immediately observes that he is of patrician lineage.
THE VIRAGO: Green above the red, says he. Wolfe Tone.
THE BAWD: The red's as good as the green. And better. Up the soldiers! Up King Edward!
A ROUGH: (Laughs) Ay! Hands up to De Wet.
THE CITIZEN: (With a huge emerald muffler and shillelagh, calls)
May the God aboveSend down a doveWith teeth as sharp as razorsTo slit the throatsOf the English dogsThat hanged our Irish leaders.
THE CROPPY BOY: (The ropenoose round his neck, gripes in his issuing bowels with both hands)
I bear no hate to a living thing, But I love my country beyond the king.
RUMBOLD, DEMON BARBER: (Accompanied by two blackmasked assistants, advances with gladstone bag which he opens) Ladies and gents, cleaver purchased by Mrs Pearcy to slay Mogg. Knife with which Voisin dismembered the wife of a compatriot and hid remains in a sheet in the cellar, the unfortunate female's throat being cut from ear to ear. Phial containing arsenic retrieved from body of Miss Barron which sent Seddon to the gallows.
(He jerks the rope. The assistants leap at the victim's legs and drag him downward, grunting the croppy boy's tongue protrudes violently.)
Horhot ho hray hor hother's hest.
(He gives up the ghost. A violent erection of the hanged sends gouts of sperm spouting through his deathclothes on to the cobblestones. Mrs Bellingham, Mrs Yelverton Barry and the Honourable Mrs Mervyn Talboys rush forward with their handkerchiefs to sop it up.)
RUMBOLD: I'm near it myself. (He undoes the noose) Rope which hanged the awful rebel. Ten shillings a time. As applied to Her Royal Highness. (He plunges his head into the gaping belly of the hanged and draws out his head again clotted with coiled and smoking entrails) My painful duty has now been done. God save the king!
EDWARD THE SEVENTH: (Dances slowly, solemnly, rattling his bucket, and sings with soft contentment)
On coronation day, on coronation day, O, won't we have a merry time, Drinking whisky, beer and wine!
PRIVATE CARR: Here. What are you saying about my king?
STEPHEN: (Throws up his hands) O, this is too monotonous! Nothing. He wants my money and my life, though want must be his master, for some brutish empire of his. Money I haven't. (He searches his pockets vaguely) GAVE IT TO SOMEONE.
PRIVATE CARR: Who wants your bleeding money?
STEPHEN: (Tries to move off) Will someone tell me where I am least likely to meet these necessary evils? Ca se voit aussi a paris. Not that I . . . But, by Saint Patrick . . . !
(The women's heads coalesce. Old Gummy Granny in sugarloaf hat appears seated on a toadstool, the deathflower of the potato blight on her breast.)
STEPHEN: Aha! I know you, gammer! Hamlet, revenge! The old sow that eats her farrow!
OLD GUMMY GRANNY: (Rocking to and fro) Ireland's sweetheart, the king of Spain's daughter, alanna. Strangers in my house, bad manners to them! (She keens with banshee woe) Ochone! Ochone! Silk of the kine! (She wails) You met with poor old Ireland and how does she stand?
STEPHEN: How do I stand you? The hat trick! Where's the third person of the Blessed Trinity? Soggarth Aroon? The reverend Carrion Crow.
CISSY CAFFREY: (Shrill) Stop them from fighting!
A ROUGH: Our men retreated.
PRIVATE CARR: (Tugging at his belt) I'll wring the neck of any fucker says a word against my fucking king.
BLOOM: (Terrified) He said nothing. Not a word. A pure misunderstanding.
THE CITIZEN: Erin go bragh!
(Major Tweedy and the Citizen exhibit to each other medals, decorations, trophies of war, wounds. Both salute with fierce hostility.)
PRIVATE COMPTON: Go it, Harry. Do him one in the eye. He's a proboer.
STEPHEN: Did I? When?

Fall brings to me a melancholy that aches deep inside my soul. Living in a place where the seasons change is both sweet and sad.
As the leaves catch fire with color, torn from the trees, falling and whirling about, the context of life shifts and becomes barren. What was once lush forest is now naked trees, standing bones awaiting the snows of winter.
As I walk through this new world at dusk I hear whispers of ancient songs, sung by the ghosts who have been released as the leaves of the trees have fallen.
The chill in the air as the season changes is only partly from the shift to oncoming winter. These ghosts sing to my melancholy, stirring up feelings that have lain dormant during the spring and summer months.
Strong fire seems to be the only thing that drives out these wraiths from the edges of my heart. They call to me, these hungry ghost of fall, trying in vain to bewitch as I travel down these wooded paths, waiting for the icy winter to put these ghosts to sleep.

We saw several of those brilliant sparkles at the Fall Bridal Expo held by the McHenry County Bridal Referral Group that took place at the beautiful Bull Valley Golf Club in Woodstock, IL. With spacious rooms and winding staircases, it was the perfect setting for nearly 40 vendors to display their products and services with plenty of room for the hundreds of people who attended.
Nearly all of the McHenry Bridal Referral Groups members participated in the expo providing a balanced variety of products and services. Throughout the afternoon, names were drawn in the raffle with over $3000. in prizes awarded to lucky brides who attended the expo. Bull Valley provided complimentary tea, coffee and soft drinks that helped to cleanse the pallet between the taste testings of cupcakes, chocolates, pastries and fruit kabobs. Other tables had brides-to-be having their hair styled and make-up applied — there were some very beautiful ladies walking around the venue !! 🙂
Scrapping on the Spot made some very cute little tuxedo boxes that we filled with vendor chocolates and gave away to the first 40 brides-to-be that stopped by our table. As usual, there were oohs and aahs around the concept of our event scrapbooks — they are so perfect for bridal showers!
Thank you to everyone who came to see us during the expo — we hope to see many of you again at your bridal shower!
A big CONGRATULATIONS! to Kelly C. who was the luck winner of our bridal explosion book — a fun way to gather photos and sentiments in a compact expandable booklet !

text: Martin lets TEG drive his Tesla! Why did Martin offer to let me drive his car? I am not sure exactly but it probably has to do with my level of passion for what he and his associates have created. Why am I so passionate about it? Because it represents the joined epitome of two interests I have had for a long time: mid engined sports cars and electric vehicles. I first heard about Martin & Tesla when the Roadster was introduced to the press in 2006. Ever since then a large group of fellow enthusiasts has been forming and Martin picked me out of that group to see firsthand what his dream is all about. There has certainly been a lot written about the Tesla Roadster already. From magazine reviews to customer test drives done by those with enough foresight and resources to have put down substantial deposits to get on the waiting list. So why would you want to read another review? Perhaps because I have never worked for Tesla, I am not on the waiting list, and I don't have direct involvement in the auto industry. If you were waiting for a somewhat objective review then read on. I test things for a living so I have developed a bit of a 'critical eye' when it comes to looking for product defects. I don't know if Martin was expecting this but I arrived planning to put his car under the figurative microscope and not just go for a joy ride. My impressions: It looks spectacular. There really isn't a bad angle on the car, and I find the custom paint job very appealing. It ads more excitement to an already exciting car. It still isn't perfect (yet). I found a number of little detail problems, but they were all minor things that can still be worked out. At one point I did something that apparently exposed a possible "firmware bug" that Martin intends to report back to Tesla for further investigation. (The founder series cars are perhaps still in final beta, and not quite FCS in SV lingo). The car drives like a dream. I don't think there is another car on the planet that you can drive so quickly and feel so relaxed doing it. The electric motor just goes NOW when you want it and the acceleration is so linear and quiet that you can squirt through traffic with little drama. The Lotus engineered handling is just without compromise. As many of you know, Tesla is still working to integrate "drivetrain 1.5" into upcoming production to correct some transmission issues that have plagued the program so far. Martin's car, unfortunately, has the interim transmission locked in 2nd gear, so the "off the line" performance isn't yet up to the supercar standards that will come with the drive-train retrofit coming some months down the road. Hopefully Martin invites me for another drive when that day comes! Should I say that it is easy to drive again? This car opens up a whole new world of performance opportunities to those who don't have the coordination or training to eek out everything a traditional sports car offers. It just felt "right" to drive it. No learning curve. Just jump in and go-go-go. Well, speaking of "jumping in" that is a bit literal. Even with all that Tesla has done to make "ingress/egress" better on this car (compared to the Elise) it is still one of the biggest shortcomings of the Roadster. Those with leg problems or with limited upper body strength may find the "climbing in and out" a bit much. Sorry folks, this isn't the perfect car for everyone, but I am sure Tesla's next model will widen the audience substantially. Thanks Martin for being so magnanimous with what I assume is your most prized possession. What a thrill. What a treat! Please join me in celebrating this phenomenal accomplishment that Tesla (past and present) have done. Not only customers, but fans are all counting on the Tesla of tomorrow to keep the dream alive and the roadster in production indefinitely. If you want to learn more about the Tesla roadster you can find lots of information at Tesla Motors, wikipedia or even a Google search.
