Seniors at Colorado Portrait Photography
Senior Portrait Requirements are different from school to school, year to year. As long as you are not obligated to be in front of a plain, studio backgrounds, I am your photographer. To start, we find a date and time that work, then we discuss a location that reflects your senior. Either bring or email me your school requirements worksheet. At the session I will aim to give you a mix of images that meet the specifications as well as some more fun, candid and contextual shots. Feel free to bring an additional outfit or two, if it is only going to be your senior in the shots. A formal and more casual look are advised. Avoid graphic Tshirts, ripped clothing, worn shoes.
Portrait Photo shoots start with the "Abbey Road Package" at $250 which includes 10 edited files sent on CD (click here for full pricing). Sessions include edited digital images and an online gallery. My print pricing and photo products are priced at fair rates… this is not how I make money but I offer this service because I want you to get quality products. The company I use does just that, very well.
Location: There is no travel fee if you stay within 20 miles of Rendition Studios (where there are some pretty unique and gorgeous sites). That being said, if you have a spot in mind that is farther out, let's do it, just be prepared for the $1/mile charge, payable on shoot day.
Timing: Most senior portrait shoots last about 45 minutes, you have up to an hour. Session time should mostly focus on your senior but if the family would like to jump into a few shots at the very end, we can work that in. Let me know in advance so I can plan for it. Turn around times are typically 2 weeks (longer with additional retouching) so the sooner you get booked, the better.
School Submission: You are responsible for finding out the school's requirements and passing them along to your photographer before the photography session begins. Additional retouching for the ONE image you are sending to the school is included in the price. When you see your online gallery you can pick that shot, let me know and I will edit the file and send it back directly. It will take 5-7 days for me to edit and turn that image around to you (via email or dropbox). After that, you are responsible for submitting the image file to the school.
More good information and example work can be found on the Colorado Portrait Photography website. Let's get you booked.

Here's another idea for all you Disney Park Map collectors out there! This one would be a great project for gifting to Disney lovers as well!
I started with Mod Podge, a map of the Magic Kingdom, and a 2.5" x 5" pillar candle. I trimmed the map so that just a bit of Splash Mountain was cut off and just a bit of Space Mountain was cut off. I also cut off the bottom part of the map just below the hub. You could, of course, trim the map so it showcases whatever you'd like. I wanted to be sure to get all of Fantasyland on mine. I then tore the top edge of the map to give it some interest. After I had the map just as I wanted it, I sanded the back side of it with fine grit sandpaper, just to rough it up and make sure the Mod Podge would soak into it a bit.
I put Mod Podge on the back of the map and slowly smoothed it onto the candle. This was tricky and I had several areas with wrinkles. I did the best I could to smooth them out, but a few remained. If you need it to be really smooth, you will need to have more than just a few minutes to make that happen. (Let the record show that I did not have more than 5 minutes!) And I might recommend starting with the area you want to have facing out, and working toward the edges of the map as you smooth it down. At least the main area you want showing will be nice and smooth. Still, I am quite happy with the resulting project. It will look lovely on the mantle.
Until next time, may all your days be filled with fairy dust!

Book DescriptionEveryone in Painters Mill knows the abandoned Hochstetler farm is haunted. But only a handful of the residents remember the terrible secrets lost in the muted/hushed whispers of time--and now death is stalking them, seemingly from the grave.
On a late-night shift, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called to the scene of an apparent suicide--an old man found hanging from the rafters in his dilapidated barn. But evidence quickly points to murder and Kate finds herself chasing a singularly difficult and elusive trail of evidence that somehow points back to the tragedy of that long ago incident.
Meanwhile, Kate has moved in with state agent John Tomasetti and for the first time in so long, they're both happy; a bliss quickly shattered when one of the men responsible for the murders of Tomasetti's family four years ago is found not guilty, and walks away a free man. Will Tomasetti be pulled back to his own haunted past?
When a second man is found dead--also seemingly by his own hand--Kate discovers a link in the case that sends the investigation in a direction no one could imagine and revealing the horrifying truth of what really happened that terrible night thirty-five years ago, when an Amish father and his four children perished--and his young wife disappeared without a trace.
And, as Kate knows--the past never truly dies.

Academic Support
Zero Hour: Teachers offer in-person student support on designated days before school (7:05-7:50). This consistent schedule allows students and teachers to plan ahead.
Minnetonka Academic Success Time (MAST): Minnetonka Academic Success Time (MAST) runs on Wednesdays from 7:55 to 8:35 a.m. On MAST mornings, 1st period begins at 8:40 a.m. Each remaining period in the day is shortened by six minutes so that school ends at the normal time and buses can follow their regular schedules.
MAST assignments: Focused, instructional time with teachers. Teachers assign students to MAST sessions based on academic performance with the goal of providing targeted, just-in-time instruction. Students are assigned to MAST for a variety of reasons from missing work, to writing conferences, to preparing for forthcoming assessments. It is not just for students in academic distress, but for any student who might benefit from focused instructional time with their teacher.
If your child is assigned to a MAST session, our scheduling system sends the following notifications:
- you and your child (via their Minnetonka Google email account [email@example.com] will receive an email from email@example.com on Tuesday afternoon that includes the subject, teacher, and location of the session.
- Students will also receive a push notification on their iPad.
MAST attendance expectations and notification. Student attendance and participation during this instructional time is critical to their academic success. Students are required to follow the same attendance expectations and procedures as regularly scheduled classes. Before MAST assignments are scheduled, counselors, case managers, and administrators work carefully to resolve scheduling conflicts so that students are assigned to only one MAST session. Assignment to a MAST session takes priority over make-up testing. If your teen does not attend the scheduled MAST session, you will receive a separate email on Thursday morning indicating that they were absent.
Students who are not assigned to a MAST session can either engage in academic work in the school or arrive in time for 1st period to begin at 8:40 a.m.
Writing Center: Writing Coaches are available before school in the Writing Center, located off the student Commons. Learn more about the Writing Center. Coming soon! The OnBoard app will allow you to schedule appointments from your iPad.
Math Center: Math Coaches are available before school in the College Center. Math Coaches are available to all students seeking assistance with math homework, preparing for a test, test corrections for a retake, or to get caught up from absences. They are able to help with all levels of math curriculum from Algebra to Calculus and Statistics, online or classroom courses; as well as ACT prep and practice. Coming soon! The OnBoard app will allow you to schedule appointments from your iPad.
Peer Tutors: Academic Anchors is our peer tutoring program. It is available to all students seeking academic support. Academic Anchors are students in grades 10-12 who have been chosen through an application and recommendation process. You may request a tutor in any subject area online (also posted on the Student Tutoring Schoology Group page). An Academic Anchor will then contact you directly by email or phone to set up a time to meet. You may request a one-time or ongoing tutor. If you are seeking support in English and/or math, you should visit the Writing Center or Math Center for 1:1 support before requesting an individual tutor.
Make-up Testing: Students can report to a testing room to make up tests Monday through Thursday from 7:05 a.m.-3:40 p.m. and on Fridays from 7:00 a.m-2:40 p.m. Students must present their MHS ID to be issued a test. Please note that MAST mornings tend to be busy in testing rooms; students are encouraged to test at a different time when possible.
- General testing: Room 1302
- Math testing: Room 1414
- World Language testing: Room 2614
- English testing: Room 2420
Students who are absent (regardless of absence classification) on an in-class assessment day (i.e. test) have one week to make up the missing assessment. Anything beyond that time frame needs teacher approval. Additional days for extenuating circumstances are at the discretion of the teacher. This consistent expectation provides structure for students to remain on pace with their studies.
The Port & Quiet Study Areas: Formerly known as the Media Center, The Port is open with technology support available from staff and student TechMates. Students may also take advantage of collaborative spaces within The Port to work on small group projects, receive research help, or check out books.
When you visit MHS, you will notice our newly re-purposed spaces for quiet study and student collaboration. Such areas are by the South Entrance, throughout the Commons, outside the Health Office, and on the second floor above the north Commons. When using these spaces, students are to engage in academic work and to keep food and other items out to help the spaces remain tidy.

The give away has ended, the winner will be announced later this afternoon.
Finally !
This "surprise" has been in the works for a few weeks now, and I have been really excited and trying really hard not to spill the secret too soon.
Now that we are all moved into our new home, I figured what better time for my first ever quilt giveaway.
Up for grabs is this really wonky, really pink, really fun block quilt. Each block is unique in the fact that it's off kilter, and completely different from any other block. Go ahead, look ! No two blocks are the same. Different can be good.
The quilting was done by super talented Lisa Stallings, of Lisa's Creative Quilting Studio here in Felton, Delaware.
The top was made entirely from fabric scraps of different projects. The back was made from a fabulous Ralph Lauren flat sheet. Quality thread count right there folks !
The finished size of the quilt is 54 inches by 67 inches . All the materials are 100% cotton, and the batting is warm and natural, the best of the best.
You like it ? Here are your chances to WIN IT !
Yes, I yelled. I am excited !
In fact, I am even more excited, because I am offering THREE separate ways to win the quilt.
You ready ?
First off, you can enter on my Facebook* page by leaving your comment in the comment section of the quilt giveway note.
Second, you can leave a comment on my family blog,Blogged by M in the comment section of the quilt give away post.
Thirdly, you can leave a comment on my sewing blog Oh' Brother !, in the comment section of the quilt give away post.
You can enter ONCE on each of the THREE separate web pages, however, each of your comments (entries) must be different. Again with the whole different thing.
I like individuality.
Each comment must be something wonky, weird, or just plain different, that either happened to you, something about you, or something you once did. Each of the three entries (if you so choose to enter three times) must be different.
Clear as mud ?
Make sure you leave your name, or a means to identify you. No anonymous entries.
'Fess up to your weirdness.
The contest will run for one week only. Sunday October 25th 2009 to Sunday November 1st 2009.
I will announce the winner on Monday, November 2nd (also happends to be my 10 year anniversary). The winner will be picked by a random drawing, not by how wild and crazy your entries were (although the wild and crazier the better, I love a good laugh.)
I will not respond to any questions in the comments section of the blog or of this note, if you need a question answered feel free to message me through Facebook, or my personal e-mail.
The giveaway is open to anyone, male, female, young and old.
On your mark, get set, GO !
* Although Facebook is listed as a means of entering the quilt giveaway I will NOT accept friend requests from people that I do NOT know, just based on gaining an additional entry. Sorry. I like weird, but not THAT weird.

Re: The Aikins Name?
David Hawkins 8/16/01
Angelina Aikins c. late 19c-1950
We are also Ghanaians living in the U.S., and our great-grandma was an Aikins. There are a lot of other Ghanaian Aikins and other Ghanaians with European names, especially on the coast because a lot of those west African countries were European colonies and trading centers from the 1500s- 1900s.Where ever European men went or colonized, they had children with the native people; this is why many former colonies of European countries have non-whites with white names.

KA – New York, NY
Sadie Baby Sweets "Grandpas Apple Pie" is divine.
It brings back every Fall memory of football games, smores, and family fun. Everyone should have it on their Thanksgiving table.
Cea Cohen Elliott – Dayton, OH
I have ordered cake pops from Sadie Baby Sweets twice now
and each time they were unbelievable. Everyone that tasted them asked where they came from. Rachel is professional and super creative with her cake pops. Everyone was very impressed and I will definitely be ordering from her again.
Stephanie Sain – East Rutherford, NJ
Sadie Baby Sweets is not only delicious, but Rachel also provides incredible customer service.
The red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla cake pops that I ordered were raved about by all the guests for both their taste and their decorations. Rachel additionally provided the option to use her cake pop stands, which was incredibly helpful. I look forward to branching out and trying new items from Sadie Baby Sweets!
Molly Dames– Columbus, Ohio
Your Strawberry Cake Pops are the most delicious thing in the whole world!
Thank you for making my life better 🙂
Brad Nicora – Columbus, Ohio
I ordered some Sadie Baby Sweets to bring into my office for my first day of work and they were a hit!
I ordered the chocolate covered pretzels, cake pops and marshmallows decorated with a Halloween theme. They are such a unique gift and are perfect for the holidays, birthday parties and just to have around the house for guests. I already have a large order placed for Christmas! Rachel is so great to work with and she always offers affordable prices. A+ concept, service and price! I'm a very happy customer!
Courtney Desman – Brooklyn, New York
Sadie Baby Sweets is the first call I make when planning a party or event!
Rachel is so creative and everything she makes is so amazing. If you want to impress your friends, family, clients, or co-workers, Sadie Baby Sweets is the way to go!
Jennifer King – Columbus, Ohio
Sadie Baby Sweets is a top notch company.
From the start Rachel, asked importation questions such as the theme of my party and how many attendees I planned to attend. Once she had these answers numerous possibilities arose. Do I want cake pops, pretzels, cupcakes etc?.. Furthermore, she was able to cater to my Bengals themed tailgate. From the colors of the sweets down to having my tables setup to reflect the NFL experience! My friends loved the chocolate covered cupcakes and the pretzels sticks colored in black and orange. I'm planning on using Sadie Baby Sweets for work functions and birthday parties in the near future. I highly recommend this A+ Company.
Ryan Cohen – Columbus, Ohio
Recently we asked Rachel at Sadie Baby Sweets to craft some desserts for a Client Appreciation Party that we were hosting.
It was so apparent that she put much thought and preparation in making it just right for us. She started by asking if we had a theme or certain colors that she should work with. She surpassed our expectations when she showed up with the perfect desserts for our event, complete with beautiful display platters. She really took the work out of it for us, which was so appreciated as we had time to focus on the rest of the event. We look forward to working with Sadie Baby Sweets again in the future!
Lori Macbeth – Blake Rose Salon Columbus, Ohio
It is so hard to get sinfully delicious sweet treats in California…
because if anything has gluten or sugar in it there's practically a mandatory 5 day waiting period before one can consume and a visit from the food cops.
Fortunately I found a connection for my stomach's vices, Sadie Baby Sweets!! As an Ohio native I'm proud to support a Buckeye entrepreneur who puts so much into a tasty creation from the actual product itself to the colorful and simple packaging that keeps everything fresh and full of flavor.
I used to buy chocolate covered strawberries for friends and relatives for holidays and special occasions. While those are nice and nutritious (hey you're getting fruit) there's just something about it that doesn't stand out from the rest. Now I get these same people my 3 favorite things that Sadie Baby Sweets makes–chocolate covered pretzels w Oreo and peanut butter, red velvet cake pops, and Reese's brownie cups. I've seen similar things in high end bakeries at double or even triple the price and because they're mass produced I doubt they possess the personal touches that Sadie Baby Sweets puts into each treat. Yes, the other cool thing is SBS will make any custom blend of pretzel rod that you can dream of!! Each rod is individually wrapped to ensure freshness and portability. 😉
I'm done buying edible treats from giant online wholesalers. I'd much rather invest in a local brand that I know is made by hand in an actual kitchen by someone who loves what they do than a factory somewhere. It's that personal touch that makes a difference! My stomach and my wallet are grateful for Sadie Baby Sweets!!
Travis Cohen, Los Angeles, California
Sadie Baby Sweets cherry cheesecake should be on everyone's bucket list.
You will be making a huge mistake if you go to your grave without having a piece. "To die for!"
Kyle Kegg, Columbus, Ohio
Sadie Baby Sweets are just amazing!
I absolutely love the chocolate cake pops. I will be ordering soon and referring them to my friends and family. Great job Rachel!
Shalini Acharya-Holman, New York City, New York
Best Cheesecake I have ever tasted!
Rachel is a true professional!

Sit Back, Relax, And Watch The Gamers: Hands Of Fate!
August 17, 2013 by brennon
You've been waiting long enough I think. Check out the links here for The Gamers: Hands of Fate, and if that doesn't work then dive onto Vimeo to watch it.
It's certainly a massive step up filming wise from the previous film and it truly is well worth the watch. I won't spoil anything for you guys but it does have a fair few moments in it that reminded me why I love being a geek and a gamer.
Enjoy folks.

It was the future age which for someone like Kuro Ishi was just a watered down way of saying that time moves slowly. Fourteen billion years ago the universe was created or at least that is what scientist would have you believe. He didn't witness its creation, but several million years ago he was there when men walked the Earth for the first time.
He had witnessed growth and change. Yet, within him was a deep longing for a simpler time when he was just Kuro (Pronunciation: cure-oh) of the Ishi (Pronunciation: e-she). A snake for the Emperor of Aslann (Pronunciation: as-lawn). In a way he would tell you he stopped being that man a long time ago, but any Ishi would be lying if they said that time changes you. It does not. Events, people, these things make and break you. Mold you into being. Time is just time. Slow and suffocating; never ending.
Most Ishi were just going through the motions. Devoting their lives to a particular path of value. It was all they could do to keep from losing themselves to madness. Not that it was a particularly easy path; madness goes hand in hand with the blood of the Ishi.
His truth; his reality even was that he was tired. Never had Kuro expected to live for so long. There were numerous points in his life he should have died, but here he was doing the same thing he had done every morning for the past twenty years, thirty, forty, he didn't even know anymore. Time is just time. He wasn't even certain what was keeping him moving.
The closer he got to the kitchen he could hear them. It was nothing new. Since the day his youngest brother Bak (Pronunciation: Bahh-ck / ck as in dock) got his driver's license he had been finding his way to Kuro's place. It was a gathering spot for Ishi, but three of his brothers in particular liked to congregate every morning over coffee, smokes, and the paper.
"I am just saying that if Nene's (Pronunciation: knee-knee) tits get any bigger I just might forget she is my niece. Who the fuck even knew that an Ishi could have plastic surgery. How does that even work?"
"It is a complicated process that requires slowing down our regenerative abilities…"
"I was not really asking for details. I just thought we could talk about her tits." Kuro had no doubts that his little brother was pouting as he spoke those words.
"Maybe you should be asking me whether or not I care that you are talking about my progeny in such a degrading way."
"Forgive me, Kin. Do you mind if I talk about her tits?"
"Not particularly, but she might mind if she hears you. Didn't she beat the snot out of you the last time you talked about her …. assets."
"Assets, what are you three? Come on you can do better than that."
"I would rather not."
"Fuck me you are such a stick in the mud. Mikio (Pronunciation: me-key-oh) what would you call them titties?"
"Who knows." Kuro chuckled under his breath as he continued down the corridor, not surprised by his brothers go to avoidance response.
"Not exactly what I would call them, but good effort and thank you for participating. Fuck you losers are boring. Where is Kuro when I need him?"
The worst thing anyone could do was ignore Bak, but Mikio and Kin did it every morning. "Kin, I want you to stop by the company today. I need your assistance on some matters."
"I have a lot of work at the office can it wait?"
"Nice, I love being ignored," Bak tried to interject and it was clear he was pouting again.
"No, it can't."
Kuro took in the noticeable sigh from Kin as he stepped into the entry of the kitchen, "Alright. I will have my secretary shuffle around my schedule." They never seemed to notice or acknowledge when he arrived, "So, what do you need me for anyway?"
"Things are going to be getting busy around here."
Kuro finally spoke, "He is cryptically referring to my guest this morning. So, the three of you need to hurry your asses up and get out of here."
"Guest?" Bak curiously questioned.
"The Queen of the Kari," Mikio responded.
It was there, hidden beneath layers of held breath; tension and concern. When she contacted him by messenger requesting a meeting he was taken aback by it all. She had not been among the Ishi in millions of years and now she wanted to come before the serpents. For what? There was some excitement and nervousness, but Kuro was worried. The last time she stood before the Ishi, they were pulled into a war. He could not help wondering if this moment would be any different.
His three brothers were quiet. Mikio was probably well-aware of what was to come after all he bore the eyes of the goddess Tearra (Pronunciation: tea-are-uh). A gift of sight beyond all others. Still, he had not spoken a word on why the Queen of the Kari (Pronunciation: car-re / re as in read) was journeying into the lair of the serpent clan. Certainly, it was not unexpected that Mikio would keep some details to himself. This, however, was the first time he had left his clan in the dark.
As the newly appointed Elder of the Ishi, Kuro could force his brother to speak on the matter. He even tried to, but Mikio insisted that this was something Kuro needed to see with his own eyes. They were troubling words from a man known for speaking very little. Kuro couldn't get it out of his head. What it might be that he needed to see after all of these years. The unknown didn't bother him. It was the nagging feeling deep in the knotted pit of his stomach that he knew what this was about.
Quicky he shook the wandering thoughts from his mind when he realized Bak was speaking, "The Queen of the fucking Kari, she has a nice rack."
Kuro barked a laugh, "Jogging partners."
"Rutabagas," Bak happily countered.
"Fast-pitched softballs."
"Pimped-out hubcaps."
When his brother Kin groaned, Kuro could not help, but laugh harder as the back and forth continued for some time, "Bouncing Buddhas."
"Isn't that sacrilegious or something?" Kin asked, but was completely ignored.
"Double lattes," Bak responded quickly.
Back and forth, back and forth as Mikio and Kin sighed and groaned. It was clear that Bak was running out of steam because he began to take his time thinking of words. "Fuck…." Bak cursed loudly which forced Kuro to laugh hardily before responding, "Tannin cannons. I win."
"I hate playing this fucking game with you. At least I have a chance against Kin. He sucks balls."
Kuro laughed as he gestured with his hand, "Go on, get the fuck out you three."
One might have expected his brothers to want to discuss what was transpiring. No, it was not that way. Even Bak who was a hedonist always at play, understood the gravity of what was coming. The Queen of the Kari as she was called was not visiting Mount Celiabai (Pronunciation: sah-lee-uh-buy) for a social call or a gala. This was personal.
Kuro never got the opportunity to take it all in. By the time he had his brothers chased out of the house, there she was pulling into his drive. His amused chuckle wasn't hidden under his breath as he admired her cute little pink car and long legs.
In some ways she was exactly what he expected and in others the epitome of a mystery. His smile quickly disappeared though when he noticed the telling heroska (Pronunciation: her-o-ska) of the Kari around her wrist.
By appearances many would look upon it as a simple bracelet, but in all respects it was the pride of a Kari man. Boys go through ancient trials to become men. It is a valued and honored tradition. Once they have earned their heroska they have a voice among their people. Their pride is never relinquished even upon death.
Yet, there she was baring the honor of a Kari man upon her wrist. It was not a simple token of affection, not for men like those. Some Kari man thought her important enough to protect above his own life; above even the Kari. As long as she wore it, no Kari would dare touch her.
Kuro greeted her at the door and they exchanged pleasantries. The usual pretentious greetings exchanged between members of Aslann's elite. Honestly he was grateful that it lingered only for a few moments. He had little care for such over the top formalities and at the end of the day he would always be a 'snake of the Ishi' regardless of his position.
With a seat on the sofa offered he was surprised she had chosen to sit in the corner. Her back to the wall. "Oh, expecting an attack from behind?" He chuckled, "Snakes don't always strike from the back we can hit you from anywhere." Not hiding his amusement he pulled a chair from a nearby table and sat across from her, "So, what is this all about? Do you think the Ishi want you dead or is this what happens when you spend so many years fucking Kari scum?"
Not a single reaction. Was it the apathy of the Tylo (Pronunciation: tie-low)? No, something else entirely. The truth, hidden behind her eyes was that she knew him as well he knew her. They had history. One that she abandoned long ago or at least that was how he saw it. She broke the silence, "Have you spoken to your brother?"
He smirked, "I have hundreds of brothers you will have to be a bit more specific." Despite his words he was well-aware she was referring to Mikio. After all, his little brother and the woman across from him shared the same all seeing eyes.
"Stop being flippant, Kuro of the Ishi."
"Oh," He laughed, "You think you can command me? I am not some punk who will get down on his knees for the queen. Not now, not ever."
Kuro honestly expected silence, but his eyes were drawn to the soft purse of her lips before she drew in a small amount of breath and spoke, "Osmium (Pronunciations: oh-see-um) is a remarkable material." He could see it, her counting the beads one by one of the heroska around her wrist with her fingers, "Strongest metal in the world and yet the most brittle. Difficult to forge. When I was little, I asked Tadayoshi (Pronunciation: tah-dah-yo-she) why the Kari craft their pride from an ore so difficult. He just smiled and said that every aspect of a Kari man's life even his heroska is it meant to show that Kari men need a gentle hand." He could hear it in her voice. Bittersweet emotion, "His last act on this Earth was to protect me and he entrusted me with his pride. Now, I am here asking if you will help me shoulder this burden."
A barking laugh, "How rich. Why would you entrust the pride of the Kari to the Ishi? Run along baby snake. Go back to your Kari king."
"I can't."
"Oh, so you come here? The Kari don't want you anymore and you run to the snake clan hoping we will do what exactly?"
"You misunderstand my motives."
"Then enlighten me. Why the fuck have you come here before me after all of these years?"
Kuro hated himself. Deep down he knew why he was angry, but the fact that he was losing his cool was unexpected. Certainly he had seen her hundreds of times. Shared the same space at gala's and parties, but this was different. It was the first time in millions of years that she stood before him. Him and no one else. How ugly his heart must look at that moment.
Not surprising she avoided by pulling herself from the chair and looking out the window. This was what she did. The queen of evading and half-truths. Honestly, he did not hold that against her. His brother Mikio was the same way. They did not want to affect time by telling people what future lie before them, still he found the behavior irritating especially when he wanted and needed answers. How difficult was it for her to look him in the face and tell him the truth; she never wanted him. Never loved him. Perhaps after millions of years that was what he was waiting for. Give him a reason to end it all and walk away.
Today though he had no tolerance and her silence was grating on his nerves. Quickly he pulled himself away from the chair and at first he only planned on addressing her, but his hand slammed against the wall far too forcefully. Those eyes of hers drifted toward his and he could see it, clear as day. Tationy of the Tylo, was in pain.
"I hate that look," He practically whispered the words. "What has broken the Queen of the Kari?"
"Don't call me that."
"Wearing the heroska of a Kari, regardless of the reason it is difficult to not see you as their property. Does the new king know you are here?" There was silence again and she refused to speak, "Answer me or I will make you."
The look upon her face forced a chuckle from his mouth, "Oh, I haven't seen that look in a while. Fear; it is not me though is it? What has you rattled?" He thought about it a moment before asking, "Are you running from the King of the Kari?"
"He is out of his mind," She finally responded.
"Kari scum are always out of their fucking minds." Kuro pushed away from the wall and rubbed the back of his neck. Just like that his anger toward her was gone. He was like that. It took a lot to get him to burst, but just as quickly he could be over it. Though that hardly meant he had forgotten or all was forgiven. "Should I be concerned about that piece of shit that is roaming freely around my estate?"
"It is his dog of war, Gen. Kazuma…"
"Kazuma, huh? How bold of some vassal to refer to himself by that name."
"He is not just a vassal," She whispered. "You've met him before. Long ago."
"Are we talking about that Kari?" A subtle nod of her head gave him the answer he sought, "Somè, the son of the god king and the beast of the Kari. I suppose that means the day of reckoning is upon us." His eyes closed in a pensive moment before he moved toward the television where he grabbed a sword from the wall.
"What are you doing?" She asked with uncertainty.
"He is not with you, so I am going to go and greet our guest."
"Kuro…" She had gone to protest, but he shut her down rather quickly.
"Stay here and don't get involved."
Tationy was unable to hide her trepidation from him as he stepped out of his home, the door closing securely behind him. He walked a few paces before turning and spying the Kari leaning against the wall near his hot tub, "Oh, a Saruwatari (Pronunciation: sow-ru-wah-tar-ree). I was wondering how it was you were moving through Mount Celiabai unnoticed. This is Ishi territory, Kari dog. Run along home before you become prey."
The Kari's lips curved into a brief smile, "Kuro of the Ishi, what an honor. I was expecting some lesser snake to notice me, but face-to-face with a son of Rin gives me a rather exited chill to my spine. However, I am not here to fight."
"Then you should not have come," Kuro barked. "I know that is a sword upon your back, draw it so I can make you understand dog, the error you made poking your head into a snake hole."
"And if I refuse?"
Pulling his sword from its scabbard, Kuro tossed it aside quickly. He was the patient sort. It was not uncommon for him to spend hours gauging an enemy before a single strike of the sword is even initiated. This guy though, was different from other foes he had faced. How and why, he was uncertain. Slinging his sword over his shoulder he spoke, "Kari dogs are always quick to misunderstand. Refusing is what I want you to do."
"I have heard stories about Kuro of the Ishi. I wonder if you are as fast to strike as they say you are." The Kari still had a smirk upon his face. Odd considering the boys clan was considered above such emotions. This was not a trait of the Saruwatari either, something else, something sinister.
It was long ago, different time and different place, but Kuro had seen this behavior before. Thirst of blood and battle. The Commander of the Aslann military, Hiko (Pronunciation: he-ko) Kari, was like this. They called him a demon, a monster. He was exactly that. Did not matter if you were a man, woman, or child. For his nation, for his emperor, for his prince, he would strike you down without hesitation and not even flinch over what he had done. This Kari monster standing before Kuro, was the same type of beast.
Kuro began laughing, softly at first then loudly enough that the expression changed on the boy, "Oh, stories about me are just that. Rumors and whispers, speculation, and tales. People who have never stood toe to toe before talking me up as though they had been there." His smile quickly faded, "Don't believe shit people spew, those that have faced me have never lived to talk about it."
Kuro did not give the boy a single second to respond as he jumped across the pool and hot tub toward him. A clean strike of his sword could come swiftly and efficiently. He had never missed, not once, not in a million plus years. At least not until that moment.
His eyes fell swiftly upon the Kari who narrowly evaded. "People say Rin's reincarnate is the only dangerous snake in this barren wasteland. However, in the time it takes for most opponents to realize you are a threat, prepare themselves, and strike back you have already closed the distance." There was a pause, "It seems the stories about you are true."
"Oh, that look upon your face makes me happy. I guess you are not as cocky now, dog."
Gen's posture was on edge, his smile long faded, and his hand positioned to grab the cloaked weapon upon his back. "My God Kazuma told me to be cautious around you and to keep a distance of more than twenty-one feet. My mistake. Won't happen again." It was a sentiment that Kuro could agree with.
He underestimated the Kari boy. Thought of him like any other punk; he wasn't. Someone trained him. Not just in combat, but in how those of the snake clan strike. More importantly, how he moved. There was little doubt it was that Kari. The past and the future were finally coming together. Kuro would not miss again, "Why did you come here?"
"The King of the Gods has ordered me to protect his queen, whether she wishes me to or not. I am here to make certain that no god or man crosses a line against her. I carry the will of the King. I am the hand of our god."
"He is not my god."
"Of course not; you snakes only follow the will of Rin."
Kuro practically spat the words, "I kneel to no one. Bend to no ones will. Don't assume you know what moves or lifts my sword." There was a pause as Kuro readied his weapon, "I will not miss a second time. The Queen of the Kari is under the protection of the Ishi, leave our lands or be struck down. If you insist on remaining where you are, then your god be damned."
"Lord Kazuma said you would say as much." The Kari boy responded as he took a step back, "My orders are not to interfere with the Ishi, only to protect the Queen. I will take my leave." Kuro noticed how a smile adorned his face, "Someday you and I will cross swords, but you are not ready yet to face someone like me. Born at the dawn of man and you are still a hundred years too young."
"You fucking punk," Kuro began to say, but just as quickly as the words were out of his mouth the Kari was gone.
There was plenty of aggravation at the Kari boy, the situation, and what unknown danger was lurking. Only after he was certain it was safe did he move toward his home grabbing the scabbard along the way. He sighed, relaxing his body after the door closed behind him. There she was standing anxiously. Every move he made she watched, certainly aware of millions and billions of possible outcomes for the moment.
Even as he sheathed his sword and set it aside, he offered no words. Playing it over and over again in his head. The speed; the way he saw through his attack. The Kari Elder was far more troublesome than those that came before him and his dog could bite. "He wants a war," Her words broke the silence, but came as no surprise.
"The God Kazuma was never a benevolent deity. People have always been foolish to see him as anything other than what he is; a puppet master. Such a thing from the mind of a monster like him is only natural."
"Against the Prince of Aslann." Now those words did give him pause.
It was instinct; he could not help himself as his fingers moved on their own to lift her chin. Among the clans of Aslann she would be known as, osmata (Pronunciation: oz-ma-tuh). An old Shima word (Pronunciation: she-ma) meaning of many clans. It was basically a fancy way of saying that she held the blood of many and yet belonged to none.
Kuro was reminded as he looked upon her that she was unique in a way that most people were too ignorant to comprehend. It was not her beauty or power that made her attractive. It had nothing even to do with her blood.
"Oh," He breathlessly uttered, "That expression does not suit you, baby snake."
"I need you to be serious, Kuro of the Ishi."
"I always am." He paused a moment as he leaned in slightly so their eyes were able to lock upon each other, "Tell your Kari king that the Prince of Aslann is dead and the war he desires will never happen. Unless of course, you are here because you can't say that. If so, the snake clan will not be slaves to the whims of that troublesome boy." There was a soft little sound of annoyance that left her mouth, "For now this conversation is over."
"Kuro," She tried desperately to protest as he began to walk away.
His body stopped moving on its own. The truth was, no matter how old you got when the person you cared about called your name in such a pained way it moved you. Sighing he spoke in a far softer tone, "Tationy, I need to put my clan on alert about that Kari boy. I cannot allow him to move about so freely. You understand this." He began moving, "Stay put, we will speak when I return."

BURNABY (NEWS 1130) – The damage is estimated to be in the millions of dollars after an early morning fire demolished a furniture warehouse in Burnaby.

Firefighters say the fire is under control and is 'burning itself out', but crews remain on scene to monitor the blaze.
People in the area say it smells heavily of smoke for blocks around the building.
It's believed the fire started in the back of the building around 2 a.m. Assistant Fire Chief Lane Zimmerman says it was a challenging battle.

"When you can't get inside to put it out and you're just lobbing water form the outside, it's really tough to get at lot of the spots so that's that biggest problem — getting water on the fire when you're fighting it externally."
And not only that, all the extra furniture in the building added to the fire.
As for what sparked the flames, Zimmerman says it's hard to say.
"We'll have our investigation team today and try to figure out how it started."

No one was injured as the inferno was in more of an industrial area rather than a residential one and no mass evacuations were requires.
Traffic is expected to be blocked in the Imperial and Antrim area for a few hours yet as the fire dies.

Job: actress
Alyssa Milano is a child actor turned star actress and singer. She was every kid's fantasy girl on Who's the Boss and every grown man's fantasy on Charmed.
Her career was kick-started when she played the role of Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter in the 1985 action movie Commando.
Later that year she played Tony Danza's daughter on Who's the Boss, a job that would last eight years. During this time, she produced and starred in her own workout video called Teen Steam, which (despite its quasi-raunchy title) was an exercise video for kids -- and was absolutely never used as an entertainment piece for guys in their parents' basements.
She also launched her singing career with albums such as Look In My Heart, The Best in the World and the self-titled Alyssa. They didn't do jack-shit in the U.S. but, like most jack-shit records by annoying white girls, did great karoake business in Japan.
After playing a good girl for so long, Milano let her freak flag fly by appearing nude and engaging in girl-girl scenes in the cult-classic Embrace of the Vampire. She also starred in another late night cable favorite, Poison Ivy 2.
Alyssa decided to give TV another shot, co-starring in the supernatural hit Charmed, alongside Shannen "Jump the Shark" Doherty, and Holly "Forgettable" Marie Combs. Later, after infamous uber-slut Rose McGowan joined the show, the two entered a weekly competition to see who could wear the sluttiest outfit and display their nipples most often. Since Alyssa knows that her body is a much stronger sell than her acting talents, this continued even after taking the reigns as a producer on the show. Happy male viewers were treated to cleavage, ass, and nipples from both women for an impressive eight years.
Since then, Milano has turned her attention to sports, while dodging fan requests for home videos involving her and a baseball bat.
Milano, an LA Dodgers fan, has launched a new line of apparel for female sports fans boner-incitingly called, "Touch", and she has helped TBS cover the 2007 MLB post season, reporting live from the various stadiums.
Milano also appeared on My Name is Earl as lucky bastard Earl's wife. Hopefully Jason Lee brought a climax to Kevin Smith's own lust from 1985. If he didn't, then perhaps his Chasing Amy coming-out scene was closer to heart than any of us could have known.
Fun Facts
Played Eva Savealot in 1-800-Collect commercials

Has eight tattoos on wrists, ankles, shoulder, neck, hip and lower back

By Keith Coffman
DENVER (Reuters) - Some people convicted of marijuana possession in Colorado at the time the state legalized recreational pot, may have their cases thrown out, a state appellate court ruled on Thursday.
Colorado and Washington state voted in 2012 to legalize the possession and recreational use of small amounts of marijuana, even as it remains illegal under federal law. Colorado opened its retail pot shops in January, and Washington is slated to follow suit later this year.
The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday that a woman whose 2011 conviction for possessing cannabis had been under appeal was entitled to have her sentence and conviction overturned because of a "significant change in the law."
The ruling applies only to cases in which appeals had not been exhausted, and not to all defendants convicted of possession under the old law.
A spokeswoman for Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said the office would review the decision before determining whether to appeal to the state Supreme Court.

Mix the seasoned rice wine vinegar, mirin, soy sauce and dashi and pour over the separated dulse fronds. Mix all together for one minute or so. Divide into four chilled dishes and sprinkle the kelp cayenne sea seasoning over the top. Serve immediately. This salad has a wonderful ocean brine aroma. Great with smoked fish.

The old saying �so much for trial form� rang loud and clear last night as the Newcastle Knights went down to Penrith Panthers 30 points 8.
Panthers outclassed Newcastle and ran away with the game, but the real concern for Newcastle is not the score line, it�s the injuries to three key players. Darius Boyd with a hamstring strain, Kurt Gidley and Tyrone Roberts both side lined with concussion.
Although the score indicated a one sided affair, Newcastle played well and showed guts. It�s pretty hard to turn things around when you lose one playmaker little lone 3. Penrith�s new halves linked together well and they scored some great tries, one in particular by Josh Mansour.
The best thing Newcastle can do is move on from this game and focus on their Round 2 game at home against Canberra.

With such a vast world to explore, understanding the politics, history and culture of many of the world's nations does not happen amongst the general population. When the focus is on Africa too often the countries blur into one mass simply known as Africa. There are obvious exceptions to this rule; Kenya, Somalia, South Africa and Sudan have all stood out from the crowd, but there are others that lie forgotten is the world media. Countries like Burundi, Central African Republic and Benin, to name a few, are not well-known, publicly discussed or debated about.
African discourse tends to focus on the 'big nations', particularly where there has been British or French colonial legacy and in doing so it leaves out other nations that are actually critically important and some of the most interesting contemporary nations in the world. One such nation is Equatorial Guinea.
This nation is one of the smallest in mainland Africa and, largely because of this, has been sidelined by other nations in Central and West Africa including Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However this country is far more important than its size would suggest. Here are four basic facts as to why Equatorial Guinea is so important in African and World politics:
- One of Africa's leading oil-producing nations.
- Currently considered one of the world's most repressive political regimes.
- One of the wealthiest nations in Africa.
- Historically it was one of Spain's only colonies in Africa.
'Little Nation; Oil Giant'
If you have heard of Equatorial Guinea it is likely that is because you understand the oil industry and the important role the nation has in Africa's energy industry. It is the third largest producer of oil in Sub-Saharan Africa after the much larger states of Nigeria and Angola and although it is only number 33 in the world, production has increased rapidly year on year since oil was discovered in 1996. Oil is now the big driver within the economy and has caused rapid growth within the nation and has generated much profit for the government.
Political Repression and Dictatorship
For many in International Relations/World News/Global Development etc you may know Equatorial Guinea for far more sinister reasons. The regime of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo is often criticised as many being a corrupt regime, led by a dictators whose rule is widely considered one of the most repressive in the world.
He has ruled for 34 years in the nation following a coup in which he ousted his own uncle, Francisco Macias Nguema, who was himself considered a dictator. He is currently the second longest ruling African leader after, Paul Biya of Cameroon, and his rule as leader has been characterised by political repression.
The regime of President Obiang was meant to be a departure from the repressive regime of his uncle, who was convicted of the genocide of the Bubi people. However under Obiang's rule there have been reports of torture, political suppression, killings by the state security services, government-sanctioned kidnappings, brutal prison conditions, suppression of the press and widespread government corruption.
According to Forbes magazine he is one of the world's wealthiest heads of state, with a personal wealth of over $600 million and much of this is said to have come from the national treasury in a move, Obiang claimed, was to prevent corruption within the civil service and government ministers. Much of this wealth was held in US banks, including Riggs, which was investigated for their role in financing his regime. As previously stated Equatorial Guinea is both one of Africa's leading oil producers and one of the continents wealthiest nations. However because of the widespread corruption of the leader and the government, the country has one of the worst UN Human Index ratings and the gap between the rich and poor continues to grow.
Obiang has generated a cult of personality in the country largely through propaganda spread by state radio that proclaims him as a god-like figure. This has gone a long way in Equatorial Guinea to halting the influence of external images of the President; which portray him as one of Africa's worst dictators.
The Spanish Legacy: A Unique History
In a region dominated by France and French culture, Equatorial Guinea was and still remains an unique cultural outpost that represents the Spanish history and cultural influence that created the African state. The Spanish took over control in the region during the 18th century and used the colony as a source of slaves and as a sugar-producing nation. However due to the isolation of the Spanish colony in Africa and the difficulty it had competing with the colonies of the Caribbean and Latin America it became less important in Spain's empire.
Its history is largely one of exploitation and isolation but it has developed a very distinct Spanish characteristic to the nation. Spanish is the main language and Roman Catholicism is almost universal in the state. Culturally it has great links to the states of Latin America, who underwent similar Spanish colonisation, but in Equatorial Guinea the role of native tribal culture is far greater and it is still a feature of modern life.
Why Do We Know So Little?
Size is a big factor is answering this. As I've previously stated African politics is often a discourse of 'Big Nations'. Countries like Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia and Kenya grab the headlines and when problems are present in these large nations, it is unlikely that anyone will focus on the smaller nations, like Equatorial Guinea, if problems in these big nations have not been addressed first. This was what happened in Rwanda during the Civil War when it was already to late to intervene.
Likewise Obiang has been largely ignored as a 'dictator' because the world has been too focused on other leaders, all of whom were considered more dangerous than Obiang. Colonel Gadaffi, Robert Mugabe, apartheid regimes in South Africa all trumped Obiang in the past 30 years when Western nations looked at Africa.
There are also claims that unless conflict is taking place the role of these dictators and the true extent of their repression is unknown and not under scrutiny. For the moment Equatorial Guinea remains stable and so international focus is drawn away from this state to others suffering conflict.
Within the West there is also arguablly a bias in favour of the regime in Equatorial Guinea. The US has often been accused of being too close to Obiang in order to benefit politically and economically. A US think-tank, the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, hosted a talk in 2002 in which it claimed "West African oil is what can help stabilize the Middle East, end Muslim terror, and secure a measure of energy security". This statement is endemic of the thought within the US; that supporting Obiang is fine as there are far greater threats, including the Middle East.
However, there are indications that this is not a completely forgotten nation. In 2004 the country became the focus of British media attention when a coup, by European and South African mercenaries, attempted to overthrow the President's regime. It was led by a former British soldier and it was soon discovered that one of the financial backers was Mark Thatcher, the son of former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.
Although only a brief period in the nation's history it showed that there is a global mandate for dealing with the Obiang regime and the problems facing the nation of Equatorial Guinea.

Shanghai's position as one of the international hotspots of cool is no longer a matter of speculation; it's a fact. Driven by the same kind of commercial and trade activities that made the city an international Mecca for pleasure seekers as well as fortune hunters in the 1930's, the rapid blossoming of China's free trade zone city has inevitably seen the need for new visitor accommodation over the last decade has seen the city open hotels on a scale never seen before.
One of the most recent additions to the city's robust offer of interesting and luxurious hotels is The Waterhouse at South Bund, the brainchild of Singaporean lawyer-turned-hotelier Loh Lik Peng, designed by Chinese architectural practice NHDRO. What makes the design notable is that unlike many of the other hotel projects of recent years that have focussed on entirely new buildings, The Waterhouse is a project that makes use of a disused Japanese army headquarters in a docklands district of Shanghai on the Huangpu that has been earmarked for regeneration.
Given the history of the Japanese occupation of China, this building from the 1930's is dripping with a not altogether comfortable history. At the heart of the NHDRO conversion of this historic building is the contrast of the old and the new. Cutting into the fabric of the utilitarian structure to create a 19-room boutique hotel has offered some interesting choices in terms of what goes and what remains. And one of the interesting choices has been to largely leave what remains intact of the exterior fabric of the original building as visible as possible. This has been achieved through the deceptively simple stripping back of layers of paint to the base concrete material of the original building. In contrast to the new materials used for the additions to the shell, this has the effect of rendering the older building's form immediately visible within the new composite, perhaps most obvious when viewing The Waterhouse's façade. Not dissimilar to the strategies deployed by Norman Foster in leaving the detritus of history on the surface of the Reichstag, the bare concrete showing the residues of history and pockmarked by time in NHDRO's design offers the more reflective visitor a moment to dwell on the life already lived by the building that now offers upmarket and stylish accommodation.
One of the keys to the design concept for the hotel is to use the architecture itself and a few well-chosen objects to create a reflective and peaceful emptiness. Rather than opting for heavy decoration or conspicuous design interventions, The Waterhouse instead opts for a kind of purity of architecture: it is actually a lot easier to experience the interplay between the extant building and the redesign by leaving both elements open at the points of intersection rather than aiming for a seamless finish.
The deep muted colours and textures that dominate through many of the communal areas are continued in the spacious rooms –many with fabulous views across the river to Shanghai's soaring skyline- where the starkness of the aged concrete is softened with warm wood, carefully selected furniture generally of impeccable modernist pedigree and luxurious but unostentatious textiles. In stark contrast to the muted tones of the exterior and many of the public areas, the central courtyard is a brilliant white; the internal space of a massive geometric cube into which the simple, almost rustic wooden shutters and small feature windows cast sculptural forms echoing the cubist lines of the empty space itself.
But, if The Waterhouse at South Bund offers a blue-chip architectural experience to the visitor, guests will also be pleased to know that Loh Lik Peng's flair as a hotelier has ensured that all of the services and amenities are equally impressive. For example, the gym offers sate-of-the-art equipment and the lounge or library comfortable and salubrious surroundings in which to relax or get on with some work. Furthermore, the hotel's restaurant Table No 1 by Jason Atherton has won lots of praise for its modern European cuisine.

hey, have been playing baseball for a long time. am not able to drive the ball in batting practice like i used to be able to. used to be able to take outside pitches and hit them out to left. i feel a huge pushing sensation with my right hand and my swing is not able to finish. not a good feeling when you are not able to drive the ball with authority. tried a lot of different stuff. everything feels cut off. any suggestions?
Swing Smarter Response:
I take it you're a righty because you talk of a "pushing sensation" with your right hand...the left hand is thought of as the "pulling" hand in a right handed swing.
The main point I'm getting from you is, you feel your swing is "cut off" and "not able to finish the swing."
Without seeing your swing on video or in picture, I'm thinking you're swinging the bat too much with your upper body, mainly your arms.
Remember, the shoulders and arms are the second gear in the swing and they don't do anything until the hips have already started opening up.
Also keep in mind the back hand is more of a "guide" and not a "pushing" hand.
The best thing to do is check out the NEW and Improved Swing Smarter Best 5 Drills article to turn your swing around.
Please let me know how it goes Luke.

Upcoming Events > Transfigured Nights
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Hallelujah!
– Psalm 150:6
The final verse of the final Psalm in the Bible seems a very apt theme for the fourteenth season of Transfigured Nights, as we "pull out all the stops" in various ways to bring you another year of enriching musical offerings, both within and apart from the context of worship.
Our season includes three Evensong services: two to frame the series–for Holy Cross Day in September and St. Barnabas Eve in June; and one to conclude the Sundays after the Epiphany in February. Our November offering will feature Maurice Duruflé's beloved Requiem in its original version for organ and choir, with baritone and cello soloists. Two superb organists with connections to Transfiguration will put the Jerry D. Godwin Organ, Richards, Fowkes & Co.'s Opus 17, through the paces with recitals in October and January. The pinnacle of the season will occur in April with our Pipes & Strings evening of chamber music, and, of course, our Advent Procession of Lessons & Carols will once again prepare us for a holy celebration of the Nativity.
We hope to see you often during the coming season and that your spirit will be refreshed and renewed by these offerings. We are ever-grateful to our patrons, musicians, and volunteers who continue to make all this possible, and look forward to another year of music.
Art Music Mondays returns for its seventh season with four concerts presented by area musicians and guests. A chamber music series in the intimate environment of Transfiguration's Performance Hall, Art Music provides an opportunity to hear well-known and newer classical music works performed by Dallas' finest musicians. Each event is free of admission and includes coffee and light desserts. All performances are on Monday evenings and begin at 7:30 p.m.
As another season of Transfigured Nights has drawn to a close, I would like to thank all of you who made our thirteenth year of musical offerings such a success!
To our patrons who fully-funded this ambitious year: three events with chamber orchestra or brass ensemble, five Art Music Mondays, three evensong services, Advent Lessons & Carols, and a concert by guest organist Jonathan Ryan. Your generosity is truly overwhelming, and has allowed us to bring so much great music to life these past years.
To our attendees: your faithful presence at services and concerts, and devotion to fine classical music for the church and chamber hall inspires us to do more than we have imagined possible.
To the Transfiguration Choir: for the hours of rehearsal and energy you give above and beyond that required for Sunday and Holy Day liturgies.
To the members of the Transfigured Nights Executive Committee, Alan Dunlop, Executive Director: for your assistance in producing the 14 events of 2016-2017, especially to those who are completing three years of service on the board: Laurel Brewster, Bart Stockton – our most-conscientious treasurer, and David Reece – coordinator of receptions, including the very successful Back from Bristol.
If you have never attended a Transfigured Nights event, I hope that you will make it a priority to join us at least once during the upcoming season. It is well-worth your while!
-Joel Martinson, Director of Music & Organist
