Civil twilight came like an announcement this morning, the waning crescent moon hanging in perfect balance above the horizon. I pull over just before Eatonville to welcome the day. The lot I pull into is familar, if not a little junky, but the morning is putting on a show and I have a front row seat.
I've been noticing that my eyes aren't what they used to be. My windshield catches all the glare and I'm squinting as I drive through Ashford. If I'm telling the truth, after my last pair of glasses broke, I dragged out an old pair and my eyes have adjusted. Well, not really. But when the crisp focus falls away you are left with a new clarity. I know, I know … bad idea, but it's cheaper than new glasses. Waaay cheaper.
Pulling into the lot at Paradise there are just a handful of cars ahead of me. I consider my snowshoes but ultimately decide to leave them in the car. Microspikes are possibly the best invention ever. I grab my pack and poles and I'm off.
Bluebird skies. It feels like a reward to be here, but I know better. It's more like grace. The slopes of the mountain are Zen gardens in the snow. Everything points to movement here, but all around is still. Bended trees, animal tracks sealed in ice on the path, the hills raked in deliberate strokes. And yet the stillness is profound.
I took my notebook up the mountain today hoping to somehow seal this deep blue sky into memory: the way it frames the mountain. The way every other color pops against it. Black slate. Red rock. Blue ice. Linen white. Evergreen. They're all there.
A Canada jay flew down, walked across the snow and stood a foot away just watching me. I miss my camera so much. Maybe it's for the best that I had that glorious moment of looking into eyes of such a sweet bird.
I still miss my camera.
I tell myself this isn't a day to be spoiled by thinking of greed and dismissiveness. That story is coming soon. THIS is a day to strengthen my reserves, deepen my committment and grow my appreciation. THIS is a day to remember what makes me happy. What I love. Who I am.
And oh, I AM remembering …

One of the beauties of cyclocross is the relatively small training time commitment. 'Cross is a 60 minute (or less) affair. With such a short race, you might be wondering how to train for cyclocross if you're coming from a road or mountain bike background where races are often multi-hour events. We're here to help!
The average racer has no need to spend more than two hours on any given training ride. With a little creativity and schedule-shuffling, even with busy lives can still race competitively. Parents can still find a nice balance between training and family time. Our Coaching Corner is a good place to start looking for training advice and work-out ideas, and each issue of our magazine features at least one article on training—in fact, Issue 25 will have three! A few years back, coach Mike Birner helped us come up with some great cyclocross training plans, and while times have changed a bit, the plans still work well today.
If you can barely squeeze in a single training ride during the week and you're just starting out, don't worry. Line up for the beginner race because it's very likely you'll be able to hang out in the middle of the pack. Combined with a weekend race effort, that training ride should be enough to carry your fitness over to the next weekend.
Those who have more time to train during the week will most likely be able to hold their own in the higher level races, with some practice. Even if you're strapped for time, adding some high intensity training is perfect for the fast pace and short duration of a 'cross race. And if you're racing most weekends, you're in luck, since that means you need to make sure you're incorporating rest days before and after your races. Allowing your body to recover after a race day will help prevent fatigue from taking a toll—that leaves Fridays and Mondays largely as rest days for the average racer!
Don't forget that cyclocross is a largely skill-based sport, and as such, technique matters just as much as fitness. All the road rides in the world won't make you better at barriers, so consider taking one or two days per week to focus on skills like cornering, barriers and even (groan) running. Attending a skills clinic or hiring a coach for a skills session is another great option to increase your race speed without adding a ton of hours to your regular weekly training.
Don't forget, training needs vary from person to person. The advice here and on the website may not be tailored or detailed enough for you, and your best friend's training plan may not be a perfect fit either. If you're serious about 'cross, think about hiring a coach to at least help work out a basic training schedule—even a newbie can benefit from some structure, and veteran racers may be amazed by what they accomplish with some guidance!
Get schooled in cyclocross with our Cyclocross Academy class list here, and make sure you're subscribed to Cyclocross Magazine, your guide for getting into the sport, and upping your 'cross knowledge. Not subscribed yet? For the newbies, our Issue 21 has a great feature on buying your first cyclocross bike, and Issue 22 has a story on how to get into racing and what to expect at your first race.

Delphi Showcases Vehicle To Everything (V2E) Technology In Self-Driving Audi [CES 2016]
A few months ago, aftermarket manufacturer Delphi went on a cross-country road trip from San Francisco to New York in a self-driving Audi equipped with their latest "Vehicle to Everything" or V2E software. Put simply, V2E makes a car aware of more obstacles thereby making the drive safer while your hands are off the steering wheel.
The Verge has posted an excellent video of a test drive around Las Vegas at CES 2016. Check it out below for an idea on how the technology works.

Aaron It Out
Shaqquan Aaron gets the same text every day.
"You good?"
It's his younger sister, Shalexxus, checking in on him.
The siblings are three years apart, but they're so close and so similar that people often mistake them for twins. They talk the same, walk the same, both love Marvel comics and both play basketball for USC.
Shaqquan and Shalexxus have been tightly bound by a love of basketball from a young age. Their parents and older brother all played competitively (their father even played professionally in Australia), so as soon as Shalexxus was old enough, she joined Shaqquan on the court for two-a-day training sessions. Their father, Carl, would wake them up as early as 5 a.m. to teach them the game before they left for school, and after the desert heat cooled down in the evening, they'd train again with their mother, Madinah.
With the guidance of their parents and thier older brother, both Shaqquan and Shalexxus landed college basketball scholarships. Shaqquan initially headed to Louisville, but only spent one season there before transferring to USC. When Shaqquan got here, he made a change that brought him closer to his little sister.
"I was wearing the number 21, but I wanted to change," he said. "When I came here, I wanted a different identity. My sister had worn 0 for a long time and I liked the number, so I said, 'I'm gonna go rock with my sister.'"
Not long after, Shalexxus made a decision that brought them even closer when she committed to join the USC women's basketball team.
Shalexxus chose USC because she loved the education, the people and the coaching staff, adding that her brother's presence was "just a bonus." But as soon as she got on campus, she was grateful to have Shaqquan's support. Shalexxus was the only freshman on the team that year, and a knee injury she suffered in her final high school season forced her to redshirt her first year as a Trojan. With no fellow newcomers to navigate college life with, she turned to her older brother. He helped her locate her classrooms and find shortcuts to get around campus. And having redshirted himself after transferring to USC, he offered perspective and eased Shalexxus' frustration about sitting out the year.
"I'm glad I could be here early and show her, especially coming off of injury and starting off slow," Shaqquan said. "Being there so she didn't feel like there was no one there for her. That's what I love the most about being here with her."
As the older brother, Shaqquan feels a responsibility to help his sister in any way he can. But just because Shalexxus is the younger sibling doesn't mean she doesn't offer plenty of advice to her older brother. The siblings watch every one of each other's games and afterwards, they come back to their shared apartment and critique each other with a unique understanding of their personalities, strengths and weaknesses.
"Since we're so close, we know our moments," Shalexxus said. "If I know Shaqquan is super heated or frustrated, I know how to approach him with the right tone or to not talk about a certain part of the game."
At the same time, the siblings — both shooting guards — can be brutally honest with each other.
"If I play like crap, she's gonna tell me I played like crap," Shaqquan said. "We keep it real. No point in lying to each other."
The countless hours the Aarons have spent helping each other improve is definitely paying off. Shaqquan has started all 17 games for the Trojans this season, averaging 9.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. In her first season of collegiate competition, Shalexxus has cemented herself as one of the most accurate three-point shooters in the country, making a whopping 52.2 percent of her shots from downtown.
After both siblings face off against UCLA this weekend (January 20, 2019), they'll surely get together to go over what went right and wrong. But they'll also find the time to discuss the new Spider Man trailer, restaurants around campus, viral dance videos and all the other interests they share.
They'll do so in their shared apartment until Shaqquan moves out to pursue his NBA dreams at the end of this season. But even if they live far apart, they'll remain connected by their special bond.
"We're always going to find ways to support each other," Shalexxus said. "We'll always have each other's back."

Donating to the library
The Faculty Library accepts donations that add value to current research. The main idea is that the donated material will be displayed in the open shelf. Transport, temporary storage, processing, and shelving involve a considerable expense. Therefore, it is important that the faculty librarian has been consulted before a potential donation is made in order to make the necessary arrangements. Donations that are not useful for current research but have heritage value will be looked after by the Book Tower.

We are about to enter an Indian wedding ceremony for Maharani Neha and hubby Nick. But judging from these gorgeous wedding photos from James Thomas Long Photography, I bet you could smell the ceremony before even entering the hall! The scene inside Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery is truly a romantic one, and the otherwise dark room makes sure all the focus is on the altar. I love the amazing mandap, which is dripping in flower designs by Nicole Ha Designs. I can only think of one word to describe it all: phenomenal!

Creating a lighter experience

Decoupling Parity Wallet UI from Parity Blockchain client
With the release of Parity 1.10 Beta, we began the process of splitting our UI from the blockchain client.
It's easy to think of Parity Wallet UI and Parity Blockchain client as the same thing, but the wallet UI is really a DApp like any other. Many users run their node on its own or with other DApps. Since the UI and the node are two distinct units, we will soon start shipping them as such.
A primary motivation for the split is we believe the UI deserves to be a project of its own. By having the UI in a repository on its own, we hope to attract more contributors that just want to help build a great frontend. If you're a Javascript developer and want to improve something in the UI, you may not want to dig into the Parity client repository and deal with Rust code.
The UI will find a new home under its own repo and organization at Parity-JS/shell on GitHub.
New modular Wallet UI framework, moving forward with community development
In UI-2, we rewrote the underlying framework for the UI. Now there's a completely modular framework in which you can use any DApp from within the UI—kind of like using apps in an app store.
But we can't build everything ourselves, and our vision for the UI has come to completion. To take it further we need you, the community, to implement what you want to see.
Why light clients matter and what we're building
As it becomes harder and harder to sync and maintain a full node on heavy chains, light clients and full node incentivization become more and more important. Over the past few months, we've spent a lot of effort trying to stabilize our light client mode (
parity --light). It should now sync reliably and quickly, using a similar trick to Geth to hardcode root hashes into the client.
But the light client isn't complete without a user experience designed around it. Currently, the UI works with light clients, but it's heavy and wasn't built for it. When you're running light clients, because you're going out over the network to fetch the information, you have to be cautious about what data you read from the blockchain and how you read it. If you do it wrong, your app will become slow and costly to run, but if done right it can be as good a user experience as running on a full-node.
To provide that quick-and-easy experience to Parity users, we are building two things:
- A Javascript library, tentatively named
eth-light.js.This library tries to make it easy to write performant apps for light clients and hard to write non-performant apps.
- A "light wallet." This is a wallet UI that will be significantly simpler than the existing one and tailored specifically for those that just want to boot up a light client to check their balances or send simple transfers. This light wallet will also be an opportunity for us to dogfood our own products, as it will be using
The road ahead
In our next release (1.11) that's scheduled for April 30th, there will no longer be any UI shipping with the Parity Blockchain client. To orient users to the new process, we will be including a web page with instructions on how to get and run the separately-bundled UI.
Work on
eth-light.js and the light wallet has already begun. While we can't give any concrete timelines on when it ships, expect to see some updates on this blog within a month or two.
We will continue to support the current UI at Parity-JS/shell until we deem the new UI "stable," but we will be investing less time into building new features for it. Essentially we hope that the community as a whole will bring it forward, but we will try to do our best to make sure that active users of the UI can continue to be so in the future.

Backed by $1.2 million in Series A financing, GroundMetrics Inc. announced Monday that it had developed prototypes of its electric field sensing technology. The company is backed by $1.2 million in Series A financing through the Tech Coast Angels.
GroundMetrics, Inc., a world leader in advanced sensing technologies and noise mitigation methods for geophysical survey applications, today announced that the company leveraged proceeds of a Series A financing to develop prototypes of its unique electric field sensing technology for field system validation tests successfully conducted on a major oil field in the Middle East.
Earlier in 2012, GroundMetrics raised $1.2 million in Series A financing through the Tech Coast Angels (TCA), the largest angel investment organization in the United States. GroundMetrics was one of 17 companies selected by TCA to receive funding and guidance during 2011. The GroundMetrics funding set TCA records for the speed with which the financing round progressed from term sheet to closing and the amount financed by a single chapter (San Diego TCA) for a single deal.
"I was pleasantly surprised by the level of enthusiasm for this type of resource play from San Diego investors," said George Eiskamp, CEO of GroundMetrics, Inc. "TCA members have extensive experience in assessing technology-based startups. I was impressed by the rigor of their screening process, the depth and breadth of their due diligence, and the type of expertise they were able to tap into both internally and externally in order to vet this deal."
"The Series A funding has so far enabled us to continue our innovation, further protect our intellectual property and complete a key validation on a producing oil field," continued Eiskamp. GroundMetrics is currently assessing opportunities for strategic alliances and developing a Series A2 financing package.
"TCA supports bold, early-stage entrepreneurs with game-changing ideas," said Steve Flaim, TCA president. "We immediately recognized the potential of GroundMetrics technology, the quality of the team, and their understanding of the market and its key players. We look forward to seeing how this potential plays out in the next stages."
In addition, GroundMetrics has recently been awarded a Phase I SBIR grant from the Department of Energy to conduct research into carbon capture and storage applications.
The principal applications for GroundMetrics' technologies are oil production monitoring for process optimization and mineral exploration, as well as broader applications in oil exploration and field development, geothermal exploration, carbon capture and storage monitoring, geothermal exploration, and geophysical science research.
About GroundMetrics
GroundMetrics (www.GroundMetrics.Com) was founded in 2010 to commercialize a new class of sensing technology for geophysical applications and to provide advanced survey and monitoring services directly to energy, mining, and environmental companies. Our sensor systems can operate in environments in which traditional technology cannot function, and they provide unparalleled fidelity, thus extending the service range of subsurface surveying and monitoring applications. In addition, our innovative approach allows us to streamline the permitting process and conduct more effective surveys in less time and with fewer resources necessary, thus increasing survey speed and lowering survey costs for customers. Finally, GroundMetrics' advanced sensors are the only technology that offers the capability for long-term, continuous monitoring.
About TCA
Tech Coast Angels (www.techcoastangels.com) is the largest angel investor group in the United States. Its members provide funding and guidance to more early-stage, high-growth companies in Southern California than any other investment group. TCA members invest in companies in a wide range of industries, including the life sciences, biotech, IT, services, retail, Internet, financial, software, media, consumer products, and tech startups. TCA members give companies more than just capital; they also provide counsel, mentoring and access to an extensive network of potential investors, customers, strategic partners and management talent. TCA has more than 300 members, including its venture capital affiliates, in five networks in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Central Coast and the Inland Empire.

Shannen started her journey behind the chair in 1996 and has had the pleasure of working along side of some of the best in the industry. Her passion is to customize the hairstyle that her clients are wanting, whether that is a dramatic change or to maintain a targeted look. Shannen has had countless hours of advanced training to help educate her clients on how to reconstruct, style and take care of their hair as well as in training new stylists to advance their careers.
As her interest in natural health grew, in 2003 Shannen decided she wanted to one day open a health and wellness salon. Her desire was to obtain a natural health degree and to build a wellness practice.
In 2008 she had the opportunity to open Synergy Hair.Skin.Body. The wellness part of her journey began by researching clean product options for retail and healing services were added to the menu. Needing more room, Synergy Body was opened in 2011 with her husband, Onasile Bond, a massage therapist, to expand that vision even further.
With plans now to expand once again, Synergy Wellness will open in late 2016 or early 2017. Synergy Wellness will function as an herbal and natural healing product retail store as well as offer wellness classes and private appointments. Shannen plans to layer her herbal and natural healing degrees with her hairdressing practice.

To build a sustainable life, and to improve the quality of that life, we have less use for balance than most of us think. Actually, what most of us think is that balance will help us to feel less uncomfortable, or at least give us some control over it. Often I hear people talk about wanting to find and maintain balance in their lives, and balance is also commonly touted as one of the outcomes of healing. But the idea of being in this kind of constant equilibrium is a myth.
The truth is that nothing in nature ever maintains a static balance; everything is always changing and adapting. In fact, if your heart rate doesn't fluctuate at all for more than a minute, you will likely die within the following minute. The reason is a non-fluctuating heart rate exists only in a non-responsive system–your body is no longer receiving or responding to the dynamic input from its internal and external environment. If you are no longer changing and adapting, you are no longer living in a sustainable way.
Look to increasing your capacity instead, for both the chaos and the order in your life. Rather than trying to create a world and a life in which balance is paramount, our resources are better spent improving other qualities:
- Flexibility, so it doesn't hurt as much when we move to or from extreme states, and so we can more easily shift into and out of stress, defense, healing, and growth.
- Adaptability, so our experiences and life's lessons can be received for the opportunities they are to develop and deepen our strategies for connection and awakening.
- Resiliency, so we are able to respond to changes in our established course with more grace, and so we are able to make room for the gifts and miracles no matter how uncomfortable, messy, or unseemly the situation may be.

The game between the Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks today features two evenly matched teams. Both teams are scoring about 18 points a game, averaging just over 80 yards rushing a game and both teams will be replacing key players with injures.
For the Browns, outside linebacker Kaluka Maiava will start in place of Scott Fujita. Maiava has been a special teams player throughout his career. He saw considerable playing time in 2009, but missed most of last season with a knee injury.
The Seahawks are replacing quarterback Tarvaris Jackson with backup Charlie Whitehurst. Seattle has been running a no-huddle offense that has brought on much more scoring. In the six quarters the no-huddle has been used, Seattle has scored 57 points. The team has scored 37 points.
The key to today's game could be Browns special teams ace Josh Cribbs. Seattle kicker Steve Hauschka has only nine touchbacks this season, so Cribbs will finally get a chance to take back some kicks.
Game date/time: Sunday, Oct. 23, 1 p.m. ET
Location: Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland
TV schedule: Fox WJW (Channel 8)
TV distribution map: The506.com
Radio schedule: WAKR (1590-AM), WONE (97.5-FM), WQKT (104.5-FM)

Nature expresses its fury in sundry ways. Two deadly storms — Hurricane Florence and Typhoon Mangkhut — roared ashore on the same day, half a world apart, but the way they spread devastation was as different as water and wind.
Storms in the western Pacific generally hit with much higher winds and the people who live in their way are often poorer and more vulnerable, Princeton University hurricane and climate scientist Gabriel Vecchi said Saturday. That will likely determine the type of destruction. Mangkhut made landfall Friday on the northeastern tip of Luzon island in the Philippines with top-of-the-scale Category 5 winds of 165 mph. Florence had weakened to a Category 1 storm with 90 mph winds by the time it arrived at North Carolina's coast.

A visit to a local witch, a few coins, and an inadvertent promise transforms Jode into something beyond his wildest imaginings; and also causes him to be cast out of his own village for good. A wanderer turned loose in the world, Jode must learn the truth about the magic upon him and embrace a destiny greater than any ever before conceived by his mind. If he wants to survive, he must find the one key to his ultimate happiness and escape the danger inflicted upon him by the two-sided coin of the witch's magic.
From a pirate ship to the sands of the desert, from a mercenary knight to a monarch's deceptive pawn, the adventures of Jode-turned-Handsome-Jack are as varied as his namesake's tales ... and as far from his true fate as he could possibly imagine.
Book One of Briggs and Steinbrenner's retelling of CINDERELLA spins a tale of multiple threads as varied as their characters' fates: an awkward boy spun into a hero by magic, an unhappy orphan girl languishing in a house filled with secrets, a homely witch of unexpected powers and a coldblooded noblewoman of mysterious past. A tale of magic makers and fortune tellers, of con artists and criminals, bandits and sultans, artists and peasants, servants and monarchs, all bound by the common thread of one boy's existence.

The Book Excerpt
Cindermaid: A Tale of Cinderella
Picking up where its prequel left off, the story finds Elle's household sinking rapidly into madness, and Jack learning of a possible means of breaking Molly's curse and freeing himself of its consequences forever.
To lonely Elle, the only remaining servant of the house, existence itself seems a dreary burden until an encounter with magic offers her the impossible: a glimpse of an outside world beyond her wildest dreams. Such an encounter, however, has a price; the shadow of Madame Levier threatens Elle's happiness and even her very existence as secrets from her stepmother's past slowly begin to surface.
As for Jack, time is running out. Trapped between the consequences of Molly's curse and the possibility of losing everything he now possesses, he'll do anything to escape–even if it means manipulating a magical being whose powers are meant for another.
From fairy pools and forbidden flames, to circuses and sailors' lairs, the glorious magic of a human fairy and the opulence of three grand balls paint a complex world–one in which a beautiful gown may not be enough to conquer a throne and the persuasion of magic requires more than merely a desire to control it.

A few of the facts that I learnt when I went home this time are: 7 days is just not enough when you are going home after two years. And that Duggu (the little one) had taken over the house and thrown Raja (the big one) out.
I went back to Dehradun after such a loooonngg time to attend my best friends wedding. Raja and Duggu welcomed me with wagging tails
These are our street dogs (gali ke dogs) , Sweety and Barfi. It was nice to see that my niece and society's kids had been taking good care of them.
How have you been doing people? Are you dog person or a cat person? Or god forbid, are you the kind of person who doesn't like animals*gasp*?

Since her last release Boneshaker in 2015, Catherine Britt has gotten married, given birth to her first child, won a battle with breast cancer and released her seventh studio album, Catherine Britt and the Cold Cold Hearts, alongside Michael Muchow and Andy Toombs. Recorded in her own backyard studio with engineer Jeff McCormack, this release, she says, makes a new chapter and return to her organic, country roots.
Firstly, congratulations on your new album Catherine Britt and the Cold Cold Hearts! What is the concept behind the collaboration between you, Michael Muchow and Andy Toombs?
The concept behind the band is basically like Ryan Adams and the Cardinals or Bob Dylan and the band; not a side project but like an extension of themselves. They're doing their songs with a specific band that they record with and then tour with. We've already started the tour and the boys will be with me the whole way through. We did the record together, we produced it together, we worked out all the parts, harmonies and instrumentation as a team, like a real band, and now we get to tour it as well.
At the end of the day, it's still my songs [and] I'm still the artist, but they're just a bigger part of the project than just going in and using a studio or a band – and that was the idea behind it. This being album #7, it's nice to try something a little bit off kilter and try something a little different [laughs]. Not that I've ever really made the same album twice, but I've always wanted to do that band concept and it felt like the right time.
You recorded the album yourself in your own backyard studio, dubbed the Beverley Hillbilly Studios. Have you recorded there previously or was this something new?
I have recorded in there before. I've started doing a fair bit of producing for young, up-and-coming artists, so I've done one or two projects in there before mine; but this was the first when the studio was complete and finished. I wasn't still building it or whatever, which I did with the other ones [laughs].
It was pretty special. I was really pregnant at the time too, so I was happy to be at home, have the band rock up at my house, have a coffee, walk out the back and record a song or two, come in, make everyone some lunch. It was really chilled and laid back, which was exactly the vibe I wanted for this record. I was in the good part of my pregnancy when we recorded the album. And then we finished it off, literally, like, I was ready to pop. We finished it that week and I went into labour that weekend. It was pretty close to the wire. I finished it – I went and made one baby and then I went and had another one. It was perfect timing!
You've said this is your most organic and most country album. What did you mean by that and how is that reflected in the overall sound of the album?
Over the last three years, all the changes in my life, the highs, the lows that I've encountered, it all really changes a person. My life is quite different now than it was three years ago when I made [2015's studio release] Boneshaker. I think there's a reflection of that on the record. It was a little bit about rediscovering what it is I love about music and that is those early records, real hillbilly country stuff. That's always been who I am and it's always been at the core of everything I've ever done. I noticed when I started writing these songs that's the way they went because that was what I was listening to again and I was really re-inspired by. It came out really organically in my songs. Maybe it was the timing and all the stars aligning to make a pretty damn country record. Boneshaker has elements of a real country, but it was quite a rock record. I love that too. I love all types of music but I think this is a reflection of the time. I wanted to get back to that organic sound.
They say music has healing qualities. Is that what got you through those hard times?
Yes and no. I think music definitely does help for sure, and that's always been a friend to me. But more than anything my strength, my family and my friends got me through the hard times. We really had to band together and pull our socks up. There's no easy way of getting through some of those things. It was a really, really difficult time in my life. There's not much you can change about that, that's just life – hard times and good times. Within those three years I got married and I had a baby – there are so many positive things as well. It was such a roller-coaster ride for me, but it's such a life changing thing to go from who I was at 29 to who I am at 33. [I'm] a totally different person. I'm sure it is for everyone but I think my last three years have been a little bit fucking out there!
I imagine song writing then to be quite the therapeutic tool in one way because you're able to express all your thoughts and feelings out, like a life journal or diary. But then it must be difficult to them go out, sing those songs have to then get into the head space of those bad times again. Is that a daunting process for you?
It's really confronting, for sure. When you're doing it it feels really good, but then sometimes when I'm singing some of these songs on stage, I feel very vulnerable. I feel quite confronted with laying it all out there. I'm a very honest person but with my closest friends, but naturally in song writing you lay it all out there for the world to know. It's a very revealing, sometimes awkward feeling to have that much of yourself out there. I think that's who I am though. I feel natural being honest and real. Hiding all the bad, just showing all the good; I think that's bullshit! It's human. I want to be that artist that is a real person and maybe in your face a little bit sometimes.
I think you can always relate back to [songs] in some way because you felt it at one time or another. I listen back to stuff I wrote when I was a kid – a break up song or a love song – and I was so in the moment when I wrote it. I look back and giggle because it's not a feeling I have anymore but it was about capturing that moment and that feeling.
All my song writing is like my personal diary entries and that's my way of expressing my feelings. It's my way of getting through stuff. I write a song about it and I can, not essentially move on, but, I've addressed it and it it's like an acceptance of that feeling and being able to move forward with it. Music is totally that for me. Song writing is just cheap therapy, really.
It's one of those things, song writing is great as you can express those feelings but it's a different thing when you have it out there for people to hear and think, was she going through those feels? Is that a scary thing?
It's really confronting, for sure. When you're doing it it feels really good but then sometimes when I'm actually thinking some of these songs on stage, I feel very like vulnerable. I feel quite confronted with laying it all out there. I'm a very honest person but with my closest friends, but naturally in song writing you lay it all out there for the world to know and it's a very revealing, sometimes awkward feeling to have that much of yourself out there and I think that's just who I am though. I feel natural being honest and real or not hiding all the bad. Just showing all the good; I think that's bullshit. It's human. I want to be that artist that is a real person, that's honest and maybe in your face a little bit sometimes.
I guess that's a better way to also connect with people because they'll listen they'll be like oh she went through this she's more approachable. She's just like me; that can only be a good thing.
When I listen to albums, I really like what I like about them is their vulnerability to be real and honest and when I when I see that in an artist, and they're not afraid but put it all out there, no holds barge, just to be honest, I find that really attractive as an artist. I think naturally you try to be the artist you look up to. I think in any profession, you have your heroes and you strive to be like them. So I think that's naturally what I try and do, because I really find it appealing myself.
When you look back at this album in years to come what do you hope to get out of listening to it? Do you want to remember those bad times or take more pride or accomplishment in the fact that you went through something and survived it?
It's tricky because it's a bit of both. It's a part of my life and there's not much I can do about that. Sometimes I'm very proud and sometimes I just don't want to talk about it. It's human nature to want to shut down when it comes to hard things, but I think when I do think about it, I am very proud of getting through that and I'm proud of where I'm at now.
The album Catherine Britt and The Cold Cold Hearts is a very, very positive record. It's very much where I am at right now and the space I'm in – thinking very positively and thinking from a different head space. I would always look back on that with pride. It is hard to think back on when I was going through chemo and it's not a fun memory – there's nothing about it that would be enjoyable – but I made it through it, so I came out the other side a better person.
Another side to consider is that you son will be able to hear the story of your life told through music as well as he grows up, which is not something every child gets to do.
Yeah, I've lived so much life before I had him. That's always going to be hard to portray to them – this whole life was lived before they even existed. I think about my parents, for me they didn't have a life before I was born. You just think it all began when you were here. My Mum was 30 when she had me [so] she had a whole life before I came along and that's crazy to me! I think my kids will be the same. Until they're older, I don't think they'll even acknowledge or understand.
I've got a little radiation tattoo on my chest and I feel like maybe one day one of my kid's will go, "What's that?" or "What's the scar under your arm?" and that's a conversation to have. I'll be really proud to tell them the struggles that we went through and how we ended up here with them. There's going to be a time for it for sure but it will be very strange because there's been such a hectic life before I even had him so I can't imagine trying to explain that.
Is he showing an interest in music?
He loves it. I got pregnant on tour, spent the whole pregnancy on the road and then made the album. I was writing the album, I recorded the album, like I said, all up until he came out. I sing to him now and he giggles and shakes his head, and he thinks it's wonderful. I can see him being really into music. I brought him up on stage the other night and he grabbed the mic and was making noises. He's already got instinctual things. I want him to do what makes him happy.
That's incredibly adorable and what an extra special moment the audience experiences when coming to see you on the road! What can we expect on the rest of the Catherine Britt and The Cold Cold Hearts tour?
We've got Melody Moko, who is Michael's wife, on the road with us. We produced her debut album so she's out there with us well performing and selling that record. Then I go on and do a bunch of old stuff and a bunch of new stuff off the new record with the boys.
It's very intimate. There's no drums, so it's a lot of stomping, a lot of fun, there's lots of stories and it's quite stripped back to just harmonies and those real acoustic instrumentations: the mandolin, the stomp and the bass and the acoustic guitar. You get to hear some of the old stuff stripped back to that element as well which is quite different. We've been having a ball! The crowds have been amazing. We haven't done a shit gig yet [laughs]. I'm stroked, so hopefully it keeps going.
Catherine Britt and The Cold Cold Hearts is out now.

Appliance Problems That Happen the Most Often
There are particular parts that can go wrong in a clothes washer, but two very common trouble spots are water leaks and water remaining inside and not draining out.
Other reasons include the controls aren't working the right way, the machine is rocking or making noises or a mix of these conditions.
With dryers, a standard complaint involves the temperature inside the drum doesn't seem correct. Another problem area is the control console not operating correctly.
Homeowners also call if they see issues with too much or too little heat, unusual noises, the drum won't turn correctly or maybe the unit won't even turn on at all.

What Does Washing Machine Repair Cost Near Huntington Park?
The price of a repair visit regularly consists of three elements. They are parts, labor and the service call charge.

If your repair takes quite a while to finish, you could end up paying an extra amount for the repair person's time. And you get to pay for any major replacement components if they are needed.

There are some repair tasks you might probably try on your own if you want. Some aren't so hard.

For example, most homeowners aren't overly enthusiastic about working on the back of their washing machine, but taking off and exchanging the water supply hoses is a doable task.
The same applies to your dryer too. There may be one or two clear problems which can be taken care of from the front of the unit that an ambitious homeowner can attempt.

Death Charts as Cosmic Obituaries
As astrologers we agree that the moment of birth reveals the character and destiny of that which is born, be it a person, a nation, an organization, or even an idea. For the most part we study the lives of people, and the moment of birth is the root from which all our investigations proceed.
But what of the moment of death? Could it be that this moment, too, is pregnant with meaning regarding that which has died and the life that has been lived? Could it be that we have neglected to study this important and inevitable end-moment of every incarnation precisely because it is so shrouded in mystery?
It is true that death has indeed been the subject of astrological scrutiny and speculation over the centuries, but this has almost invariably been limited to an attempt to gauge approximate longevity, and somewhat controversially, also to predict the precise date of demise. But what if the moment of death reveals what a life has actually achieved? Could it be that the death chart is indeed a kind of Cosmic Obituary?
Richard Fidler will share some of the fruits of his recent investigation into this fascinating question.

Luskentyre in Snow
Photo: Dusting of snow on Luskentyre beach, Isle of Harris, Western Isles, Scotland
I was wandering the beach at low tide, waiting for the low winter sun to emerge from the clouds. I found this small little ridge in the sand covered by a light dusting of snow from the last squall to pass through, the clouds still blocking the sun towards the south. To the north I was anxiously watching the next wave of snow and wind approach. Waiting, waiting, then finally the sun emerges above the clouds. Click, Click, a couple photos. I look to my right and start to see snow flying across the dunes a couple hundred meters away. Quickly, I rotate my camera for another shot, but I was too late. The wind comes sweeping across the beach, blowing away the image right before my eyes.
Only 1 minute of time passed between these photos. A few more minutes of sun and wind before I'm engulfed by the next wave of snow and the world turns dark once again. Everything back in the backpack, head down, and follow my disappearing footprints across the beach an over the dunes.

Last night, somebody was discussing with me saguṇa and nirguṇa. Saguṇa means, according to their version, or a standard version, saguṇa means the material quality. They worship saguṇa-rūpa. Saguṇa means forms of this material world. Sādhakānāṁ hitārthāya brāhmaṇa-rūpa-kalpanaḥ.(?) Kalpanaḥ. According to Māyāvādī school, the Absolute Truth is imperson. In the Bhagavad-gītā it is also said, kleśo 'dhikataras teṣām, adhikataras teṣām avyaktāsakta-cetasām (BG 12.5). Say, for meditation, it is very difficult to meditate on impersonal feature. Therefore, they artificially think like that: "I am the whole. I am moving the stars, I am moving the moon." Or some color display is taking place. Artificially. This meditation is artificial. Therefore, they do not get any result. Simply waste time, and they remain the number one debauch, as they are. So this kind of meditation... Because they will not put any form... "The Brahman is impersonal." So how they can think of any form? It is very difficult to adjust. Therefore Bhagavad-gītā says, kleśo 'dhikataras teṣām (BG 12.5). They want to meditate upon impersonal Brahman, but it is very troublesome. Because Brahman is not impersonal, but force, they want to make Brahman impersonal.
So in order to mitigate this troublesome position, some of their ācāryas, Śaṅkarācārya, has said that "You imagine a form. There is no real form, but you imagine some form." And he has recommended five forms. The first form is Durgā, Śakti. The second form is Sūrya, the sun, sun worshiper. And the third form is Gaṇeśa, and the fourth form is Śiva. And the fifth form is Viṣṇu. Of course, these are the different stages of spiritual development. Durgā... Durgā means the material power, energy. So when a person is in the lowest stage of material existence, he realizes some power. That's a fact. The scientists also, they realize some power, there is some power in the material world. They go on searching after what is the ultimate power, but they cannot find it out. That is not possible. But they accept that there is some power, nature's power. So that is the stage of śakta stage, Durgā worship. Then... Power... Just like modern scientists, they also have gone to the power of the sun. That power, another power. That power is sun, and that is called saura, worshiping the sun. Just like there is a Parsi community in India. Fire worship is recommended in the Vedas. So that powerful sun, sun-god, they worship the sun. That is the stage of saura, saura stage. And then, next is the power vox populi, the power of the votes. That is the stage of Gaṇapati. Gaṇa... Gaṇa means the number of people. Just like in nationalism they are counting upon the power. In this way, they realize some sort of power, I mean to say, moving force or the soul. That is the stage of... They say, śivo 'ham. Śivo 'ham. Ahaṁ brahmāsmi. That is the stage of śaiva. And when they expand that, that "This power, this spiritual power, soul, is all over, all-pervading, impersonal Brahman," that is... They, sometimes they accept Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu means all-pervading. But their realization of Viṣṇu is impersonal.

Portugal has one of the best residence-by-investment programs around the world. Portugal Golden Visa as other European Visas, grants its holder visa-free access to the Schengen area. However, it requires residence for at least 7 days a year in Portugal to be able to renew the status. Portugal's immigration program provides investors with 4 options of investment. The options of investment for the applicants are as they are listed below:
- Applicants may acquire property valued at €350,000 or more for properties more than 30 years old or located in urban regeneration areas designated for refurbishing
- Applicants may invest a minimum of €500,000 in research activities.
- Applicants may invest a minimum of €250,000 in the arts or in the reconstruction or refurbishment of national heritage projects.
- Applicants may invest a minimum of €500,000 for shares in investment funds or venture capital.
Portuguese government has recently performed a globally responsible move and added a new option to its residence by investment program. This new category named Green Visa requires investment into environmentally focussed projects to qualify for a Golden Visa. This new route also paves the way to Portuguese residency and eventually Portuguese citizenship.
What Is Green Visa?
The Green Visa that is recently introduced by Portugal is a new investment category for Portugal Golden Visa. Green Visa requires an investment of €500,000 in environmental projects. These projects can range from non-intensive organic agriculture and ecotourism schemes, to renewable energies and other environmental initiatives. Specific areas of investment include:
- Eco-tourism
- Organic farming
- Renewable energy
- Carbon neutral projects
According to the leader of the political party that is responsible for the introduction of Green Visa, this new category will attract many more investors to the Portugal. "The Green Visa will serve to reinforce Portugal's role in attracting international ecological investment, while simultaneously ensuring the transition to a circular and carbon-free economy," said André Silva.
What Comes After Obtaining Green Visa?
Portugal Green Visa has similar requirements with its Golden Visa. Once the applicant obtains their visa, they need to keep the investment for minimum five years. Also, there is a minimum residency requirement which is at least seven days in each year. After five years of continued compliance with the rules of the program, the applicant can apply for Portuguese residency. After one additional year of residency, the applicant will be able to apply for Portuguese citizenship. Therefore, this new eco-friendly route introduced by the Portuguese government allows investors to obtain one of the best passports in the world.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:10, Paul reveals the root cause of why this terrorized turbulent world will soon experience the wrath and judgment of God. He simply states….."they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." Clearly, Paul is talking about people who have never genuinely fallen in love with the Lord Jesus Christ and his teachings. If you read the verses prior to this blunt statement, you will find that Satan is bringing his kingdom, which includes all nations on Earth with their political-religious systems, to a final showdown with the truth of Jesus Christ.
Satan's man for this showdown, the Antichrist, will then be revealed and offered to this troubled world as the great peacemaker, who will bring war and terrorism to an end. Isn't the stated goal of this war on terrorism….a new world order?
I have nothing but compassion for the multitudes who have never truly loved Jesus. Some of them are my friends and family. It hurts deeply when I consider their eternal condition. Jesus has for two thousand years called people to his love and forgiveness. But, a time of judgment is coming, to separate good from evil, to chain Satan and his bandits in Hell for a thousand years.
Tragically, some who once loved Jesus with all their hearts, are today losing their first love for him. I know this, for I was one of them. I know and have experienced the utter confusion of becoming lukewarm, and trying to love Jesus and this world system. I know what it's like to stiffarm the convicting words of the Holy Spirit within me. I know how it feels to return habitually to the lusts of the flesh and the constant pursuit of the money and pleasures of this world system. And then attempt to twist the meaning of scriptures to ease my conscience, thereby rationalizing my desires for worldly wealth and pleasures.
This twisting of scripture is the perverted contribution that Christian Psychologists and the Health and Wealth gospel gang have made to Christendom. However, I must not blame them for my personal failures. They will answer to the Lord for teaching their lies just like everyone else. I hope and pray they repent for attempting to Christianize the carnal desires that need to die on the cross.
I also know what it's like to fake repentance and to give lip service to a holy loving God. It's a horrible thing to lose your first love and then pretend that you haven't. As I wrote in an earlier article, it wasn't until I faced open heart surgery and the paralyzing fear of death from a weak heart, that I began to come out of my carnal delusions. This fear that controlled me was the fruit of a sinful mind. But, Jesus was still inside me, reaching out to me. The same Jesus who saved me years earlier was using my fear and self-inflicted heart disease to chasten me and present me with a clear choice. I could love him and walk with him as before or perish.
Jesus broke my spiritual heart when he reminded me that I was sinning against him, that he was killed by the hands of men, and that included me. He reminded me that my sin was separating his relationship with me. For I had stopped hating sin, which is the only thing that can hurt our oneness with him. The shame and sorrow in me hurt so much that it was almost unbearable. He wanted to cleanse me from sin, not excuse or cover it up. Do you know what Jesus wants from us when we sin? Honesty. He knows our fleshly bodies are still a powerful force warring against Him in our new hearts. In my case, I was bringing sin into my heart where he lives. That's much more dangerous than the sins of the mind and the body.
Another symptom that comes from not truly loving Jesus is the indifference toward the reading of the Bible. You see, when our hearts are pure, his voice jumps from the written pages into our very soul. Listening to his voice come alive through the written word, then becomes more refreshing than anything. We desire it above all other things. But when sin is in control, reading the Bible becomes mechanical or just a religious ritual, if it's read at all.
Another symptom of a lukewarm heart is the gradual weakening of our longing and looking for the imminent return of Jesus to end Satan's kingdom on Earth. Our desire to see him face to face, to be with him, diminishes. We become like an unfaithful husband who can't look his wife in the eye. Christendom is today drowning in indifference toward his imminent return. This is why many who claim to believe in it are willing to take up arms and kill the enemies of America or Western civilization, to protect their earthly riches, pleasures and political freedoms. This willingness to kill one's enemies is outright rebellion against the teachings of Jesus Christ. Please understand, the time will come that Jesus Christ will kill his enemies. He is the only one who is qualified to execute that eternal judgment, so until he returns we are to demonstrate his love and warn people to flee from the coming judgment.
Please don't be confused by the biblical commands to Israel to execute criminals, to wage war, and Paul's referring to civil authorities in Romans 13 as ministers of God, and the teaching of Jesus to love one's enemies. Civil government of any kind, democracy or dictatorship, is allowed by God to restrain violence and prevent anarchy, in spite of them being created and manipulated against each other by Satan. After all, Nero the nut, who burned Rome and hated Christians, was Emperor when Paul wrote his letter to the believers there. Paul calls us to obey and respect the civil authorities, even the Neros of the world, but not to join with them in their violence, Romans 12:17-21. We are also not to resist or rebel against the Neros or British kings either. For God allows human government only because men reject the government of Jesus Christ. Regrettably, men would rather rule themselves or have others rule over them.
Lukewarm militant Christians have forgotten that followers of Jesus….."sit together in Heavenly places," Ephesians 2:6….."are citizens of Heaven," Philippians 3:20…..are ambassadors for Christ," 2 Corinthians 5:20. Have they traded freedom from sin and Satan through the blood of Jesus Christ for political freedom that Satan's kingdom offers? Are they exchanging eternal life for the riches and pleasures of this life? To me, the answer is heartbreaking. I've been there. Have they forgotten these scriptures or have they sadly lost their first love and are not obeying the Lord?
One of my founding fathers, not George Washington, but Paul of Tarsus, has in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, declared that Jesus will…."in flaming fire take vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." This includes everyone that loves not the truth, both those who have never loved Jesus and those who have become lukewarm. You can turn away your ear from what you have just read or you can fall in love with the King of Kings. It's your call.

Carpenters are a tough and versatile breed. They build, fix, and install structures, bits and bobs made from all sorts of materials.
From installing cabinetry to building bridges, carpentry is often a physically demanding role that calls for a knack with the tools both indoors and out.
Typically, the following roles are performed by a carpenter (or a chippy as they are often referred to).
- Decipher and follow blueprints and construction plans
- Measure and cut building materials
- Piece together structures and smaller items like furniture
- Install building framework often with the aid of rigging hardware such as cranes
- Build decking and other outdoor features like pergolas, sunbeds, and outdoor kitchens
Carpenters are more than handy with a tool or two. They work with nails, screws, adhesives and staples to create their projects.
Here are a few things a carpenter can do around your home:
1. Decking
Have an outdoor decking project you never seem to get the time to start or finish? Carpenters can provide decking services expertise faster than Usain Bolt can finish a 100-metre sprint.
An entertaining area adorned with a good quality deck will add value to your home. A deck area provides the extra space needed for quality R&R time with family and friends. Soak up some rays in summer. Nestle up with a loved one beside a fire pit in winter. All this could be possible from the talented hand of a carpenter.
2. Cabinetry
If your kitchen or bathroom is in need of a makeover just get a carpenter to give the area a facelift. Updating cabinetry is one of the simplest ways to achieve a brand-new look. If you are not that savvy on the tools, a carpenter can make easy work out of it for you.
Transform a run-down kitchen into a fresh, modern look simply by replacing cabinet doors. Remove an overhead cupboard to expose open shelving – very French Provincial which is raging right now.
3. Repairs, re-styling and building
If your fixtures or fittings have seen better days, arrange a carpenter to fix them. Crooked legs, broken arms and wonky shelves are no match for a carpenter. With their skills and cleverness you could save hundreds on repairing or re-styling furniture instead of buying new.
Up-styling an old chair, transforming a book shelf into a kids' doll house, or building the breakfast nook you desperately need. Carpenters can offer advice on what is achievable before you shred your money on something you probably didn't need.
4. Renovations
As one of the most versatile trades positions, a carpenter goes to renovations like Kim goes to Kayne – hand in hand.
Whether knocking down, building up, sheering off, or adding to your home, renovations are smoother with the help of a carpenter.
If you need to remove a wall, add a robe, build some shelves, change over a door, or build a deck – a carpenter can sort it out.
When you need help around the home – hire an Airtasker carpenter to do the job.

A reading of a Shakespeare sonnet
We left Shakespeare, at the end of Sonnet 27, lamenting the fact that thoughts of the Fair Youth keep him awake at night; now, in Sonnet 28, he continues this thread, bemoaning the fact that his nights and his days are ruined thanks to his love for the young man. 'How can I then return in happy plight, / That am debarred the benefit of rest?' In other words, if I can't get some rest at night and recharge my batteries, how am I going to be able to function during the day? Below is a short summary and analysis of Sonnet 28.
How can I then return in happy plight,
That am debarred the benefit of rest?
When day's oppression is not eas'd by night,
But day by night and night by day oppressed,
And each, though enemies to either's reign,
Do in consent shake hands to torture me,
The one by toil, the other to complain
How far I toil, still farther off from thee.
I tell the day, to please him thou art bright,
And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:
So flatter I the swart-complexion'd night,
When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.
But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,
And night doth nightly make grief's length seem stronger.
We agree with Don Paterson, in his Reading Shakespeare's Sonnets: A New Commentary, that this poem is a little underrated cracker, though we can't agree with him that Sonnet 29, which follows it, is a 'duffer' and 'fluff'. But it's certainly odd that Sonnet 28 has not attracted as much admiration as some of the other sonnets.
In summary, Sonnet 28 focuses on Shakespeare's inability to get any rest, either during the day or at night. How can he be happy during waking hours when he can't get any rest when he goes to bed of a night? A sleepless night makes the day hell, and a hellish day keeps him awake at night. It's a game of 'mutual oppression', if you will. The phrase 'happy plight' seems oxymoronic, but 'plight' in Shakespeare's time didn't have the negative connotations it now has – it could simply mean 'state' or 'condition'.
What's more, although night and day are typically seen as 'enemies' or opposites, they are happy to shake hands and broker peace between themselves in order that they may conspire to make the poor Bard's life a misery. Day makes life hard because he has to 'toil' or work all day, and night makes things worse because he is plagued by the unpleasant thought that no matter how hard he works, he seems further and further away from his love.
From line 9, Shakespeare says that he tries to rid himself of this wretched state by telling the day that the Youth is bright and so takes some of the pressure off the day, since the young man can also make the day bright, even when the sky is filled with clouds. Similarly, he says that he tells the night that when it's completely dark and the stars don't twinkle ('twire' is an old word for 'twinkle'), the brightness provided by the Fair Youth makes the evening light and golden.
Shakespeare concludes by saying that day makes his sorrows greater every day, and night makes the length of his period of grief seem even longer. (Some editions alter 'length' to 'strength' in that last line, but the majority favour 'grief's length'.)
The language of Sonnet 28 is fun to examine and analyse. The night/day dichotomy – they are opposites, but presented here as complements, conspirators in league with each other – allows Shakespeare to flex his rhetorical muscles. In that final couplet, for instance, 'day doth daily' and 'night doth nightly' complement each other, with the strategic placing of these two complementary phrases in the final couplet of the poem reinforcing the idea of night and day being a sort of double act, working to undermine the poet's peace of mind.
Otherwise, there's not much else to say (at least we can't think of anything illuminating): the poem is plain and simple and there's no need for further analysis or comment. What do you think of Sonnet 28?
If you found this analysis of Sonnet 28 useful, you can discover more of Shakespeare's best sonnets with 'Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore', 'When to the sessions of sweet silent thought', and 'Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing'.
If you're studying Shakespeare's sonnets and looking for a detailed and helpful guide to the poems, we recommend Stephen Booth's hugely informative edition, Shakespeare's Sonnets (Yale Nota Bene). It includes all 154 sonnets, a facsimile of the original 1609 edition, and helpful line-by-line notes on the poems.

You are not your past.
You are not your mistakes, the second chances you gave that didn't work out, the gut feelings you decided to ignore.
You are not your failures, the life changes that didn't make it through and the dreams that you didn't reach.
You are whatever you want to be, today. You can choose it.
You can decide to let the past be, and write yourself a new story. One where YOU are the author. And you can give yourself permission to fuck up, accept it, heck, even own it! Then move on.
And turn it into a positive. Make it a stepping stone to your success. Because you can do it, you know? It's all out there waiting for you, ready to take it.
Be brave.
It's all going to work out, I promise.

The Enchanted Castle by E. Nesbit
Three children, forced to remain at school during the holidays, go in search of adventure. What they find is a magic castle straight out of a fairy tale, complete with an enchanted princess at the center of a maze. Or is it? The castle turns out to be just a country estate, and the princess is only the housekeeper's niece, playing at dressing up. But the magic ring she shows them proves — to her surprise and horror — to really be magic. Soon they are caught in an adventure where statues come alive, lost lovers are reunited, and wishes can be granted — but always for a price.

Newport News, Va. - 71-year-old Joseph Williams, Jr. was a deacon at Triumph Christian Center.
Dr. Reginald Dawkins is mourning the loss of his good friend.
"Shocked. Unbelief still surprises me even until today. I've been his pastor for eight years. I've eaten at his house, traveled with him to visit the sick going back and forth to hospitals," says Dawkins.
A picture of them is something Dawkins holds close to his heart.
"I was embracing him and you'll see that smile on his face, so I will always remember that.
Williams left church Sunday afternoon and he was shot in the head near 33rd Street and Marshall Avenue.
Police say two men were shooting at each other and Williams was caught in the crossfire.
"If I could use this word, he died on the battlefield trying to do the work of his Lord. Sad on one side, but joyous on the other side because I know where he's at," says Dawkins.
Williams spent a lot of his time visiting the sick and mentoring kids at local schools.
He was also a loving husband and father.
That's why tonight, Triumph Christian Center will hold a prayer vigil to remember Williams and continue his work.
"He like many other persons, see the need of reaching the young people to make a difference," says Dawkins about the deacon.
