Growth oriented businesses are expanding outside their domestic borders to tap into the growing global markets. A natural progression of financial reporting standards is therefore necessary in providing more useful revenue information to financial statements users across different jurisdictions and markets. It is no surprise that the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the Financial Accounts Standards Board ("FASB"), in the US, joined forces to develop a new standard when it ...

Building Consistency in Performing Review and Compilation Engagements
When it comes to the performance of an audit, there are frequently updates and changes to standards and guidelines. However, this is not always the case for review and compilation engagements, which tend to require more professional judgement, as there is less guidance available in their respective standards. The ambiguity in these standards have led to inconsistent practices across CPA firms and as a result, the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (AASB) decided to set new and revised ...

Equity-Based Compensation Plans for Private Companies – An Introduction
When business participants hear of stock options and other forms of equity-based compensation, the tendency is to associate them with public companies. As an auditor of public companies, I can certainly attest to their common place existence. In another role as advisor to private companies, I'm starting to see more of these compensation arrangements in a private company context. There is no shortage of opinion as to why this might be. Many point to the need of private businesses to stay ... Continue Reading →
Adding Value: Crowdfunding and Your Accountant
Wikipedia dates modern crowdfunding back to 1997. That said, the casual business observer likely only took note of crowdfunding sometime over the last few years. A late 2015 decision by the OSC (and four other provincial securities commissions) permitting expanded use was a major step in bringing crowdfunding to the mainstream. Simplified, the new OSC regulation allows non-accredited investors to invest up to $10,000/annually in crowdfunding campaigns. This decision opens up the pool of ... Continue Reading →
Accounting Systems for Small Business
Accounting Systems are many and varied; it pays to understand your options. Choosing one of the many accounting systems and putting it in place is crucial to the success of any business. This is especially true for start-ups and small businesses when considering their typical resource constraints of time, people and free cash flow. Accounting systems can provide valuable information for decision makers ranging from identifying profitable and unprofitable product/service offerings to excessive ... Continue Reading →

About Sage Partners
Founded in 2001, Sage Partners was designed from the outset to be an unusual firm for high talent professionals whose work style is client-focused and team-oriented. The core strategic themes that guides our work are accelerating growth and increasing company value. In our careers, as managers and as advisors to managers, we've learned the value of growing organizations. Growth delivers value for employees, who like to work where opportunity for advancement exists; for customers, who receive high levels of service and much higher rates of new product introductions; for communities, where expanding enterprises generate jobs and revenues for enhanced services; and for investors, who receive sharply higher returns. Our commitment to our clients is to measure our success by the financial and competitive success our clients achieve.
We work in teams. We've learned that the best ideas come from collaboration, from the interaction of different experiences and points of view. Our teams include Sage Partners and the client itself. By working shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, we improve the likelihood that our recommendations for action will be understood, embraced and lead to the desired impact. Our style is not to generate volumes of documents but rather to bring ideas and initiatives into the fabric of the client's processes and culture. We call this style "learning by doing" to distinguish it from the more common, ponderous style which generates fees for the consultant, rather than impact for the client.
We work with our clients on the Big Things they face. These can be purely strategic, such as a merger proposal or a new product development effort, or organizational, such as the innovation process or cultural issues that disrupt progress. With the breadth and depth of our capability we can work on a wide range of big things for our clients. Further, we have strategic relationships with other organizations so if we see a need for additional subject matter expertise or more specific process knowledge, we have trusted partners to whom we can turn.
Finally our client mix, purposely, includes both younger, smaller organizations that need our assistance to reach the next level of scale and performance, as well as larger organizations that need to ratchet up their rate of value-creating growth. Working within both groups of clients gives us valuable perspectives to share. For example, from our younger clients we bring hands-on experience in acting rapidly and being flexible; from our larger clients we bring the value of effective processes that facilitate scale.
Who We Are
Sage Partners brings together highly experienced, thoughtful individuals, working as a community to help companies of all sizes master the challenge of generating opportunities and creating value through successful, strategic growth.
What We Think
It's time to choose….
We believe that holding onto business-as-usual tactics and strategies will not accelerate a company's growth or advance strategic initiatives. Our partners pride themselves on digging deep into an organization to develop imaginative and smart strategies to accelerate the growth and value of a business.
What We Do
Our mission is to help time-starved Executive Leaders (who find themselves pressed to focus on managing the bottom-line and quarterly earnings) challenge and push their organizations to re-imagine and re-invent the way they do business. We help them discover and seize opportunities that will have significant impact on the company's performance and value.
- We work as a community
- We focus on Enhancing Value

New Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note 3 Lollipop release details have been confirmed today thanks to a new software upgrade page from T-Mobile.
In December, Samsung started rolling out the Galaxy S5 Lollipop update. In the weeks since, the company's rolled out three more Galaxy Android 5.0 Lollipop updates including upgrades for the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 3, and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Right now, only the Galaxy S5 Lollipop release is available in the United States though that's expected to change in the near future.
Thanks to Sprint's website, we know that the carrier is planning a Galaxy Note 3 Android 5.0 Lollipop update. The release date still hasn't been confirmed but the update's currently in testing behind the scenes. Today, thanks t0 T-Mobile's website, we now have a lead on two more major Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note 3 Lollipop releases.
U.S. carriers traditionally have kept to themselves when it comes to the Android upgrade process. T-Mobile, also known as the UnCarrier, isn't your traditional U.S. carrier. Today, the carrier's unleashed a brand new Android upgrade page that reveals a number of new Android update details ahead of release. The goal is to keep its customers as informed as possible ahead of the eventual release.
T-Mobile's Android update page confirms two Samsung Galaxy Android 5.0 Lollipop updates. A Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Lollipop release and a Galaxy Note 3 Android 5.0 release. The carrier doesn't outline specific release dates though it does offer some insight into their releases.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Lollipop update is currently in testing at T-Mobile. Here is how T-Mobile describes this step which is the step ahead of the update's public release:
During this stage the device will go through T-Mobile certification process testing to make sure you get the best quality software possible.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Lollipop update is a step behind. Its currently in a stage T-Mobile calls "Manufacturer Development." The carrier says that this means that "T-Mobile and the device manufacturer have agreed to support a new software update."
Furthermore, the carrier goes on to say that "T-Mobile and the device manufacturer have agreed to support software version Android 5.0 Lollipop. The software update will include new features, functionality and improvements to give a better user experience." In other words, while the update is confirmed, it's not in for testing at T-Mobile which means that it could be weeks, if not months away.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Lollipop update got off to an extremely slow start as it got beat out by both the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 Lollipop roll outs. We've seen several other carriers, SFR and Rogers in Canada, confirm Galaxy Note 4 Lollipop releases though specific release dates, for the moment, remain out of reach. SFR originally said that it would get the update out in February but with the clock winding down, that may not happen.
T-Mobile's Android update page also lists a number of other Android updates including an Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. The carrier says that the software is still in "Manufacturer Development" which again means that a release is probably several weeks away at least. The Galaxy Note Edge Lollipop update only recently started rolling out and it's limited to one variant in Australia.
The carrier is also just one of three major U.S. carriers that have rolled out the Galaxy S5 Lollipop update. Sprint and Verizon have also rolled out their own versions of the software while the AT&T and U.S. Cellular Galaxy S5 variants remains on Android 4.4 KitKat. It's not clear when AT&T and U.S. Cellular plan to roll out their updates and consumers shouldn't expect them to roll out software update pages like the one T-Mobile rolled out today.

Exchanges are easy! See Below…
As of June 2014 I have redesigned this page and hopefully made it much easier for you to purchase on line. What you will need is the name of the piece and the dimensions in order to know which item to choose in the drop down menus. There are 3 buttons because I have different pricing for shipping and items are grouped by shipping costs. From the gallery where you saw the image is the title and dimensions. If the piece is already sold I have that written above the dimensions so please email me if you want a print instead. If you are not sure of the price or which to choose from then email me. There is not paypal button on each piece because I really thought would look tacky since this website is for people to have a museum & pleasurable experience and not be bombarded by sales buttons
For Paintings listed on the website that are available click the buy now button. This will take you to the secured paypal website where you can check out and pay by paypal or any credit card that you like. There is a drop down menu with sizes and prices (above). You will need to enter the title of the piece so I know which item to ship. For multiple pieces you will need to make multiple purchases as I do not have a shopping cart or you can call me because I do have the credit card swiper from paypal and can do the order over the phone. If you have any problems please give me a call and I can walk you though the order 413-221-2067. I accept personal checks in advance of shipping (email me for address and total with tax & shipping) as well as cash (if you are in the Berkshires).
Each piece in the gallery has the title, dimensions, in the left bottom corner. If it is sold it should say so. I will do custom orders of prints of any painting. Really! And prices are reasonable too! Unfortunately, I am unable to take commisioned works at this point in time. Thanks.

What Chick Lit Means To Me
By Holly Martin
I love chick lit books, in fact it's pretty much the only genre I will read. I will sometimes stray into Young Adult books or fantasy; I love Harry Potter and Twilight. But when buying a new book in a bookshop I will always be drawn to the covers with flowers and bright colours, with glitter and hearts. We all need a bit of sparkle in our lives and chick lit books deliver this in droves.
There is a big difference between a romance and a chick lit book. Romance to me suggests some big serious saga, with weeping widows, windswept moors, and dark brooding men whereas chick lit is all the best bits of romance, with real life heroines and brilliant humour thrown in too. My Mum would read lots of Danielle Steele books when I was younger, and in my mid-teens I started reading them too. I loved the intense romances that were depicted on the pages but when I read my first chick lit there was no going back.
I'm not sure what my first chick lit book was but one of the first was Jill Mansell's books. She epitomizes the chick lit genre for me, every single one of her books is this gooey, wonderful, heartwarming, funny, light hearted glorious read from the first page to the last. It was reading, no devouring, every single one of her books that made me realise I wanted to write in this genre too.
There are many, many very talented chick lit authors out there, but some of my other favourites are: Belinda Jones, Miranda Dickinson, Sophie Kinsella, Catherine Alliott, Aven Ellis and Tilly Tennant.
In chick lit the women are real and that's what we relate to. These women have real jobs, they work long, hard hours, they have bills to pay and children whose demands must be met. They have husbands or boyfriends who also work long hours, they have children who don't sleep or need the latest trainers, they care for their friends and family, they juggle their real life problems with finding their own happy ever after. These are women we know, who are so tangible they almost walk off the page. We've all been there and that's why we like them so much. We fall in love with them, we want these women to be our friend.
The men are gorgeous, strong, look great in a pair of jeans, with arms that strain at the seams of the shirts but are sweet, vulnerable and have issues of their own. We have to fall in love with the men, not think our women should run a million miles away from them.
The humour in chick lit is also important. I've read some books that have literally had me laughing out loud, snorting, choking with laughing, tears running down my cheeks, laughing so hard I can barely breathe. I want that in a book, I want to smile, laugh until my face aches. I don't want to sob uncontrollably in a corner. Life is hard enough, so when I read, I read to escape, I want to dive into a book with all its rose-tinted goodness where everything is right with world.
And that leads me onto the most important aspect of a chick lit book. The Happy Ever After. This is an absolute must. I know life isn't like that, so many people don't get a happy ending, their husbands leave them, people get stuck in a job they hate, people lose their loved ones to horrible diseases or terrible accidents. The newspapers are filled with horror stories and I don't want to read about that in a book. Maybe the heroine loses her job, maybe the house is flooded and the car has been trashed. But our heroine must end up in the arms of the man she loves. And not just for one night or a few weeks, we need to know that this relationship is going to stand the test of time and they will grow old and grey together loving each other more with every day that passes. I want to close a book (or switch off the kindle) with a smile that splits my face, hold the book to my chest and squeeze it because I love the book so much. I want to feel gooey and warm and happy inside. I want to believe that Happy Endings are real and one day I'll get my own Happy Ever After.
I think probably my favourite chicklit book of all time is Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella. I read it years ago but it stayed with me. I laughed so hard reading this book, cannot recommend it enough.

Such is the power of Atticus Finch, the most beloved character in Harper Lee's first novel, To Kill A Mockingbird, that sales of her new book, Go Set A Watchman, have topped 1.1million copies since it went on sale in the US last week. But Go Set A Watchman has been dogged by controversy, too, because its version of Atticus Finch is revealed to be in league with white supremacists, and many dismiss it as the failed first draft of the novel that became To Kill A Mockingbird.
In fact, Go Set A Watchman was the book Lee originally submitted to her publisher, JB Lippincott, in 1957. Her editor there suggested that she shift the focus from the present to the Maycomb, Alabama, of her youth. Why? Perhaps to encourage Lee's gift for evoking the universal experience of childhood, but more likely because of Atticus himself. Without the Atticus of To Kill A Mockingbird, the Atticus of Go Set A Watchman simply does not work. In a book about conscience and morality, there needs to be a character capable of holding the moral centre. Otherwise we're left with the thinly, albeit lovingly, drawn sketches of Watchman Atticus mouthing the arguments of any random segregationist.
When Lee went back to Scout's childhood in Mockingbird, she didn't just create a sympathetic figure in Atticus – she also created an icon. Atticus is the quintessential father – wise, kind and strong enough to do what is necessary and right, not just in his family, but in the wider world, too. It is because of the Atticus of her childhood that Scout has the clarity and the courage to confront the Atticus of her adulthood. Perhaps more importantly, it is this moral imperative to act on principle that transforms her bitter disillusionment with Atticus from mere outrage into her first truly adult decision to follow her conscience – not by washing her hands of Maycomb, but by becoming the best part of it.
In a sort of parallel with Lee's narrative, the national 'discussion' of Watchman Atticus is akin to Scout's angry denunciation of her father.
The reactions range from simple disappointment – 'It's like learning that your child's beloved principal is a paedophile' – to outrage, usually at Lee's publishers. Maureen Corrigan of National Public Radio deemed Go Set A Watchman 'a mess that makes us reconsider a masterpiece'.

Welcome to an Interview with Denise Felkin, Tutor at Photoion Photography School.
Denise is a freelance Creative Photographic Artist with extensive experience in public visual art installations. She has over twenty years experience in working with the public and photographing a variety of subjects; fine art, portraits, music, arts and festivals, landscapes, and installations.
She's also tutor / lecturer / trainer in photography and has spent the past eight years working for the City College in Brighton and four years working for Photoion Photography School. She has also delivered workshops to community groups and organisations such as the BBC, Brighton & Hove City Council, Phoenix Brighton, and Sussex Wildlife Trust.
Hi Denise, why photography?
Maybe because my grandfather was a photographer, and my father a printer, although both of them died in my early years.
I feel photography is in my genes. If it wasn't for photography, how would I know how my father looked like?
I had a slow start; my first camera was stolen at the age of ten, from Butlins, Barry Island. My second camera was stolen age 18, from Glastonbury Festival. I later went to Art College, where I discovered my passion and talent for photography.
I stick with photography because it makes me feel alive and has helped me get through some dark moments in life. It has always given me access to places I would not normally be able to attend.
What is a photographer?
A photographer gets creative with light, captures the moment, organises chaos into order. In a way the photographer is a solution provider: he/she makes the best out of what is put in front of him/her.
I've always called myself a "photographic artist", and at present my work fits somewhere between documentary and art photography.
Very importantly I've learnt not to pigeonhole myself: it does not matter what I call myself because I'm still wearing all the hats.
In my own practice, I spend very little time taking photos. Most of the time I am researching, reading, visiting shows, talking to people, editing, location finding, etc.
I do wear at the same time many non-creative hats: from accountant, to cleaner to social worker, secretary, PA. I am an educator, facilitator, self promoter, and job hunter.
I am also still a student myself. I have been studying photography for 25 years and I am still learning. It is such a massive subject, which will take me to the day I die to master it and maybe that day I will still not know everything.
Pick a photo in the world. Which one and why?
It's the only image I have of me and my father.
I am in a pram, he is photographing me, his shadow falls on my pram. I believe it kind of maps out my destiny. I once showed it to Rosy Martin and she said it was a very powerful image.
May I ask you, what does that shadow represent to you?
With my dad dying so young it really had an impact on my whole life. The shadow represents my destiny: my father photographing me and then me being a photographer in later life. It's ironic that the only photo I have of him shows my career, aspirations and life path.
Your father and your grandfather were in the photography field: have you ever thought to start a personal research for meaning, for family history, for understanding, through their photography archives?
My father was an offset printer. My mother told me his ambition was to go to art college but he never did. My grandfather was a photographer. It is impossible to see and work with what they have been doing during their life time because there aren't traces of any archive.
Is the family album something that has ever interested you?
Yes. During my first degree (in Fine Art at the University of Sunderland) I explored the family album for meaning. I used my own family album and used found and reconstructed imagery and created an alternative album that showed not so celebrated events such, as death and divorce.
I also wrote a dissertation on Jo Spence and Diane Arbus. Comparing the two photographers, I argued that they created their own alternative family album: Spence by involving doctors in her therapy of cancer and Arbus treating her subjects of marginalised people as if they were her own family.
"The camera reveals movements and a beautiful layer of what is to disappear."
How would I have known what my father looked like if I had not seen a photograph of him? My memory is too blurred to recall his face.
As children we had very few photos in display in our house, our family photos were hidden away in a shoebox. On rainy days, my siblings and I would take adventures into memory by excitedly diving into the array of family photos. We made our connections with the documentary evidence of our identities and historical events. Within our imagined space, we resurrected our past, our memories, grabbing glimpses of joy by reuniting with our loved ones and that were no longer with us.
Can you talk about your current project and the making of it?
Two years ago I was awarded a scholarship to deepen my photography research at the MA Documentary Photography and Photojournalism at University of Westminster. I am now working on my Major Project, and I have decided to make work in the form of a book about non voters.
Through my teaching in Brighton, I have a track record of working with homeless people. In the six years I spent teaching photography in the homeless hostel, I had always encouraged them to take photos and I didn't photograph them at all, as I felt it is not right to stick a camera in the faces of somebody who is having a bad experience.
By the time I had started my MA, my photography students from the homeless hostel, got housed.
When I came back to them and into their new homes was for WOW, a women's magazine I was working on. First I focused on women, and by the time the magazine was complete, I went on to photograph men in their homes too and tried out some new ideas based around the inspiration of Manet. I wanted to bring together fine art and photojournalism.
The images were quite successful, exhibited by galleries and applauded by the university. I was encouraged by my tutor to look at these pictures and find a more focused issue and make a new project.
I knew I did not want to make another body of work about homelessness and I kept looking at these images to see if a common more focused theme existed that would not lose the original context or change their meaning. It was not easy, then it came to me:
Non voters, British people that choose not to vote.
At the start of the project, the number of non voters was 25 %. After the recent European elections, the media said it is about 60%. The project is nowhere near completion. My deadline is 20 August. I keep producing images and my tutor sends me in all sorts of different directions, doing what he does best which is pushing you as far as you can go, out of my comfort zone to get the best out of me.
The result will be exhibited at Ambika P3, Marylebone Campus at the end of August.
Would you read us a page of your diary?
That's difficult, I do not keep a detailed one. My work pattern is so varied; its rare two days are the same.
I spend time commuting between London and Brighton: I usually wake up trying to work out what city I am in, where I am.
Often the public believes that photographers are spending most of their time photographing, but professionals have actually so many other activities to follow up around their photography.
I spend a lot of time around education. In how many creative environments I'm in? Only this week I've been to Westminster university, I worked in Brighton, curated and hung a show for my students as part of Brighton Fringe. I had a mindfulness class at Cavendish, spent time in my London studio, in my Brighton studio, I spent 4 days making photographs, location hunting and model scouting for my project.
I have a day off today so my head will be in my books researching and developing my major project and resting too because tomorrow I am teaching at Photoion and I have to prepare myself as I want to put 100% of myself in it and respond to my students needs.
What do you see in your future?
It's difficult today to make a living solely from photography, especially as an artist. Through my teaching I have learnt a lot, especially editing and selecting pictures.
In the future I'd like to get more into picture editing and creative commissions.
Thank you Denise for sharing yourself so generously with us.

On this year's Fourth of July, I embarked on a mission to take photos, but without a true destination like a traveler only looking for a journey. I've always found photography to be one of the greatest hobbies, because in searching for the great moments to be captured often times raw humanity is revealed during the experience, along with a piece of the puzzle of life.
Independence means different things to different people, and while roaming the streets of The Haight, I found one gentleman and his friends who were willing to show all those that found them what Independence means as an American.
As he and his two friends sauntered past my parked car, looking this and that way and about, enjoying the views of the colorful streets, I stared. They were shocking and openly invited gawkers by nature. And no matter whether one liked what they saw, there was certainly a reaction from each and every person around them. But here, in our marvelous nation, they walked proudly knowing that in America they could be happy in their bodies without persecution.
As I overcame my shock, I saw The Picture walking away from me. I hurriedly hopped out of my car waving my camera at them, and as I neared I asked if I could take a picture. And so the gentleman said sure, he didn't mind, and walked over to the pillar, striking the beautiful pose you see. And there it was, my picture of Independence Day.

Science News! Let's take a look at some of the important developments in science this week…
First, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry has revealed that a dagger found in the tomb of King Tut was made from a meteorite. The blade has resisted rust and age and its origin had been a puzzle until now. Read more from the Smithsonian here.
Second, scientists have outlined a plan to create an entire synthetic human genome in the lab. This could lead to medical breakthroughs, but it raises many concerns and would be a daunting task. Read more from NPR here.
Third, the Hubble telescope has taken measurements that conflict with studies of the left over radiation from the Big Bang, and show the Universe is expanding 5 to 9% faster than previously thought. The reason for the discrepancy is not yet known but may have something to do with unknown subatomic particles or with dark energy. Read more from the Guardian here.

Chart Beat
Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry make their chart debuts plus news from Livingston Taylor/Carly Simon, Gnarls Barkley, Dixie Chicks and more!TAYLOR AND CHRIS: When last we checked, 18 "American Idol" contestants had charted in Billboard. Two weeks ago, that total jumped to 19 when fourth season drop-out Mario Vazquez debuted on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart with his debut single, "Gallery" (Arista). Vazquez was a finalist in the top 12 when he dropped out for personal reasons in March 2005. Five months later, Clive Davis signed Vazquez to Arista.
This week, the total number of "Idol" contestants who have charted in Billboard takes a dramatic increases to 23, as the first finalists from season five to make their chart debuts join the crowd.
Surprisingly, the "Idol" with the highest new entry on the Billboard Hot 100 is not the winner, Taylor Hicks, nor the runner-up, Katharine McPhee. It's the man many people suspected would walk away with the title this season. Chris Daughtry, shockingly voted off in fourth place, earns Hot Shot Debut honors with his version of Bon Jovi's 1987 hit, "Wanted Dead or Alive." The track from the "American Idol Season 5: Encores" CD enters at No. 43.
Another track from that album also bows on the Hot 100. Hicks' rendition of the Doobie Brothers' 1976 single "Takin' It to the Streets" is new at No. 69. This is the first time in five seasons that the person crowned "American Idol" has not first appeared on the Hot 100 with a song from the finale. The song given to Hicks, "Do I Make You Proud" (Arista), does make its debut on another chart, entering the Adult Contemporary tally at No. 21, and should show up on the Hot 100 as soon as sales kick in.
The AC chart is home to a number of Idols this week, with Bo Bice enjoying radio airplay with "The Real Thing" and Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood each having two songs on the list. Even with Daughtry and Hicks showing up on the Hot 100, the third season of "American Idol" has produced the highest number of charted Idols.
But season five has produced four chart-worthy performers and they all make their debuts in the same week. On the Pop 100, third-place finalist Elliott Yamin has a new entry at No. 73 with "Moody's Mood for Love" and runner-up Katharine McPhee bows at No. 90 with her rendition of Aretha Franklin's "Think." Both tracks are included on the album "American Idol Season 5: Encores," which enters The Billboard 200 at No. 3.
Here is a breakdown of charted Idols by season:
Season one: (five)
Kelly Clarkson
Justin Guarini
Tamyra Gray
R.J. Helton
Jim Verraros
Season two: (four)
Ruben Studdard
Clay Aiken
Kimberley Locke
Josh Gracin
Season three: (six)
Diana DeGarmo
Jasmine Trias
LaToya London
George Huff
John Stevens
Season four: (three)
Carrie Underwood
Bo Bice
Mario Vazquez
Season five: (four)
Taylor Hicks
Katharine McPhee
Elliot Yamin
Chris Daughtry
That adds up to 22, but one non-finalist has also charted. "American Idol" wannabe William Hung parlayed his failure to pass the audition into a successful career -- which has included charting in Billboard.
TAYLOR AND SIMON: Taylor Hicks isn't the only Taylor with a new entry on the Adult Contemporary chart this week. After a 17-year absence, Livingston Taylor returns at No. 39 with "Best of Friends" (Chesky), a duet with his former sister-in-law, Carly Simon. It's uncanny listening to Taylor and Simon collaborate on "Best of Friends," as Liv sounds so much like his brother, James. Carly and James had hits with remakes of Inez and Charlie Foxx's "Mockingbird" and the Everly Brothers' "Devoted to You."
"Best of Friends" is the sixth Livingston Taylor song to appear on the AC list over a period of 27 years, seven months and one week, counting back to Taylor's debut in November 1978 with "I Will Be in Love With You." Taylor's biggest hit to date is "I'll Come Running," No. 8 in 1979.
Simon peaked at No. 6 on the AC chart in December 2005 with "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" Her last non-holiday AC hit was "Love of My Life," No. 16 in June 1992. "Best of Friends" is her 28th AC chart entry over 35 years, one month and one week, dating back to the debut single "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" in May 1971.
STILL 'CRAZY' AFTER ALL THESE WEEKS: On the Hot 100, "Crazy" (Downtown/Lava) by Gnarls Barkley continues its slow climb, advancing 38-35. It's a different story in the United Kingdom, where the single rules the charts for the ninth consecutive week. That's the longest-running U.K. No. 1 hit since Wet Wet Wet's remake of the Troggs' "Love Is All Around" spent 15 weeks on top. The Wet Wet Wet single began its reign 12 years ago this week.
2GOOD 2B 4GOTTEN: Back to the "American Idol" franchise for a moment -- season four winner Carrie Underwood scores her second top 10 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart. "Jesus, Take the Wheel" spent six weeks at No. 1 and now "Don't Forget to Remember Me" (Arista) leaps 12-8.
63 WEEKS AND COUNTING: The Dixie Chicks spend their 63rd week at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, as "Taking the Long Way" (Columbia) bows in the pole position. It is the fourth of four studio albums by the trio to go all the way on the country tally. The "Top of the World Live" CD stopped at No. 3.
The Dixie Chicks' first release, "Wide Open Spaces," led the list for seven weeks in 1999. That same year, "Fly" began a 36-week reign. In 2002, "Home" started a 19-week rule. On The Billboard 200, where "Taking the Long Way" also enters at the summit, the Dixie Chicks are No. 1 for the seventh week. "Fly" dominated the survey for two weeks and "Home" was on top for four weeks.
PROMISCUITY: Nelly Furtado has her biggest hit to date, thanks to the 9-3 jump of "Promiscuous" (Mosley/Geffen) on the Hot 100. Each of her three chart entries has peaked higher than its predecessor. Furtado's debut, "I'm Like a Bird," went to No. 9 in May 2001. "Turn Off the Light" reached No. 5 in November 2001. As reported last week, "Promiscuous" is already the biggest hit for producer Timbaland as an artist, besting the No. 12 peak of his first chart entry, "Up Jumps Da Boogie" in 1997.

When I was a child, I used to adore my aunties' skin. They are in their 30's and 40's when I was on my reckless days. They all have fair and flawless skin, maybe because of our Chinese blood. During my childhood days, I am not cautious with what I do. I just go play and be careless as I can be outside the house. I ended up getting wounds when I was a child and that drives my grandma crazy. She told me that when I get older, I will regret those times. Then, after so many years I found out that my grandma is totally correct! My skin is not as flawless as my aunties! I got scars on my legs. Good thing that I found helpful products that keep my skin healthier than before. I tried so many things and [Read more…]
10 Amazing Makeup Tips and Tricks
I love using makeup, in fact, I have some of my favorites that I will review later. My most favorite kind of makeup is lip tints, I love every color and I lose counting them (yeah, I have so many)! I am also a huge fan of makeup apps and I keep taking selfies of myself and editing them in my favorite app. As I use my makeup for almost every day (yeah, I used it even when I am at home, ha-ha!), I learned so many lessons and decided to write them down so I can share it with you! Are you excited for it?! I bet, you are!
So, let's tackle them one by one.
#1: Airbrushed effect
I recently bought a set of makeup brush but honestly, I still have no clear idea on how to use each of them! Am I crazy or just an impulse buyer?! Before I bought my newest makeup brush set, I use this magical effect. I use a regular brush that I have been using in my blush on and dab it in my favorite blush on. I swirl the brush on my cheek bone in a circular motion to my hairline before the ears. Even if you don't have an airbrush, this method will give you the effect you desired of.
#2: No-no swelling eyes
I find myself crying in the night while I am watching my favorite shows and this makes my eyes puff in the morning! Yikes, one day I watched a heavy Korean drama and the next morning my eyes are swelling! Lucky me, I don't have any appointment and I just stayed in the house the whole day. I found out that cold water is great for swelling eyes, simply splash it in your eyes right after you wake up. Ta-da! Your eyes are back on track!
#3: Another no-no: lip licking
I hate dry lips, during this cold seasons my lips are chapped and I hate the feeling! I usually licked my lips because I feel that my lips are drying so I keep them dehydrated by licking. But lately, my dentist notice my chapping lips when I had an appointment with her and advise me to stop it immediately. The bad habit is unknowingly making my chapped lips worse so I had to stop it immediately. I learned that the saliva is drying the lips even more so she told me to use a soothing lip balm or petroleum jelly instead.
#4: Eyeshadow for long-lasting lipstick
Every woman wants a long-lasting lipstick but this kind of lipstick is kinda expensive. So, what's the last resort? Yeah, fake brands! But they aren't proven safe and effective! Here is a trick that you will love. After you apply your lipstick, topped it with your eyeshadow with a matching shade. This will give you a long-lasting lipstick and a matte finish too!

#5: Retouch using oil
Isn't annoying if your foundation is already running and you need to retouch but have no proper place or you are too shy to do it? Don't worry, you can use a small amount of oil, even your baby's oil to retouch your skin. Dab the oil on your cheeks, just a little amount of it will do. This will make your face glow, make sure you don't overdo it.
#6: ATM for volume eyelashes
I love my lashes, even if they aren't that long! I use a simple trick to get my desired volume. Using an ATM card (you can use any card), I place it behind my lashes. Then I apply my mascara from roots to tips just the usual way I do it without the card and voila! I have a volume eyelashes! This is very easy to do and I love this trick because it is mess-free!
#7: Don't throw that soft eyeliner
I want my eyeliner hard, when it is soft it will just smudge on my face and I don't like it! I am having a hard time sharpening my soft eyeliner, too bad because it is my favorite. I read before that I can freeze it to make it hard and easier to sharp and use. So I give it a try and yes, it works like magic!
#8: Removing makeup instantly
Makeup removal isn't easy especially when you have so many layers. I love my makeup remover but sometimes I am having difficulties. So one day, I add a few drops of baby oil on my cotton ball which already has my makeup remover. I am so surprised with the result! My makeup removes in an instant! Even coconut oil, sunflower oil, and olive oil work too!
#9: Forget the blush
One day, I forgot my blush on and I am looking pale! I will meet an old friend that day so I don't want to look pale and dull. I only had my lipstick with me. I rushed to the toilet a minute before our meet up, my only resort is my lipstick so I had no other choice. I am too shy to borrow someone's blush on in the mall's comfort room and it is not hygienic at all. I also have no time to go to the department store's makeup section to apply some blush on tester there! So, I give my faith to my lipstick and hoping it will work. I am so surprised, I like it and the feeling is not sticky and not heavy! Sometimes even when I have my blush on with me, I still prefer my lipstick!
#10: 1 eyeshadow for 2 events
One day I had 2 events that needed to attend to. In the afternoon, I need to accompany my son to a children's party and after that, I had a besties' night out. So, I need a glamorous makeup that will suit the two events because I have no time for retouch! So I decided to blend two eye shadow colors and I love the new shade! It is perfect for the besties' night out and suite the party without intimidating the kids. I love this trick and I will do it over and over again!
Ops, I have a bonus tip for you! Buy makeup that is rich in vitamin C, E, B#, and zinc- they are all good for the skin! And of course, don't forget your sun protection, look for SPF 15 or 30! Stay beautiful and fabulous, girl! XoXo!

not real happy with the service, upon arrival, I went to the front desk and was ignored by 2 women for about 5 min, then I asked for layers in my hair, and was told no problem. when she was done, I asked to be blown dry, but she didn't seem to want to, so I said thats ok, paid, tipped and left. When I got to my car, I realized I did not have 1 layer in my hair. I could not tell when she was cutting it, and it was wet. The hairstylist was not friendly at all.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- For spectators and television viewers, the Harbour Town lighthouse is the symbol of the Heritage golf tournament. But for those who make the Heritage media center their home away from home for a week each April, Arnie Burdick has been just as much of a fixture as the candy-striped tower beyond the 18th green.
Burdick, the longtime tournament information director for Hilton Head Island's PGA Tour event, died Tuesday afternoon at Hilton Head Regional Medical Center. He was 92.
"Arnie was a gentleman whose contributions have been a huge part of the success of the RBC Heritage and the Heritage Classic Foundation for more than 20 years," tournament director Steve Wilmot said. "He will be truly missed by all of us who worked with him every day."
After a distinguished career as a sports journalist -- he was enshrined in 1996 into the Greater Syracuse Sports Hall of Fame -- Burdick and his wife, Mimi, retired to Hilton Head Island.
His journalism background prompted Mike Stevens, then the Heritage tournament director, to approach Burdick in 1986 and ask him to become the tournament's media relations director -- if only for a year.
Burdick worked his 29th Heritage this spring.
"He's the guy that I really associate with the tournament," said Jeff Kidd, the longtime sports editor and now news editor of The Island Packet newspaper. "It's going to be strange to walk into that media tent next year and him not be there."
In 2004, at the suggestion of local radio reporter Roger Clark, the Arnie Burdick Media Award was established. The award goes each year to a media member who has excelled in covering the Heritage over the years. The prize is a pair of thick, black glasses frames similar to those Burdick wore for many years.
Bob Gillespie, longtime golf writer for The State newspaper and the first winner of the Arnie Burdick Media Award, still keeps his pair of glasses displayed prominently on a bookcase at home.
"That's probably one of the best awards I ever got, just because of what it means coming from Arnie and the Heritage," Gillespie said.
It's no wonder that Burdick made fast friends with the journalists covering the Heritage -- he was one of them.
After playing lacrosse at Syracuse University and serving in the U.S. Army from 1941-45, Burdick returned to Syracuse as sports information director in 1947 and maintained that position until 1956.
At that point, he began his newspaper career at the Syracuse Herald-Journal, where he was sports editor and columnist for 28 years. During his tenure at the paper, Burdick was influential in establishing the Herald Amateur golf tournament and the Herald Masters bowling tournament. He also served as president of the Football Writers Association of America for a time.
He never let go of that journalism background and often imparted wisdom upon young journalists making their way in the profession.
"I didn't just hear from him around tournament time," Kidd said. "He was very engaged with the local sports community. I probably got as many ideas for local tennis stories as I got for local golf stories from him. "It was always a joy to me to get a snail mail from him that had been hammered out, probably on an old Corona typewriter, but definitely not on a word processor. He was just such a throwback. He was definitely old-school."
And for all the "curmudgeon" jokes members of the media made at Burdick's expense, he was always there with a helpful statistic or obscure fact about the tournament, a compliment about a well-written column or an under-the-table ticket to eat lunch in the sponsor's area.
"He's like an institution down there," Gillespie said. "He was always the first guy you'd see when you walked into the press area every morning. He's going to be hard to replace. He was always the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. He kind of put a face on the tournament. It won't be the same."

Interview with Open Mike Poet
|Posted on August 7, 2013 at 1:15 PM
Poetical Tv: Firstly, how did you get your name Open Mike Poet & when did you start writing poetry?
Open Mike: I started writing poetry back in 2007. I remember coming up with the name "Open Mike" and being really proud of myself, my name is Michael so it made sense at the time. However, I have had a few awkward moments at open mic nights.
Poetical Tv: Lol. What does being a poet meant to you?
Open Mike: Art, just being an artist and seeing art in every possible situation. Understanding you have a voice and not abusing it, just thinking out loud.
Poetical Tv: So what would you say is the most interesting experience you have encountered as a poet?
Open Mike: I'd say writing poetry out of thin air. Like, having nothing one moment and a little while later having a piece of art that will last forever. And more importantly, having no control of the process.
Poetical Tv: Who have been your biggest influences on a creative level?
Open Mike: A poet called Rives which my poem "Reeves" is kinda paying homage to (I sorta took my style from him). Verb Swish, Floetic Lara, Sara Kay and loads of Def Poetry Jam writers.
Poetical Tv: How would you describe your own style of poetry?
Open Mike: I'd say transparent
Poetical Tv: What sort of poetry do you most relate to and why?
Open Mike: I relate to people who are willing to pour their soul out on stage for the sake of a message. Some poets get on stage and treat the audience like their own personal therapist when it shouldn't be that way. To be a poet is to be a therapist, even if all we do is simply remind people that they aren't alone.
Poetical Tv: And what are your thoughts on the UK Poetry/Spoken Word scene?
Open Mike: It's good at the moment, it's a lot bigger than when I started. I guess we have YouTube to thank for that.
Poetical Tv: What's the biggest ambition you have when it comes to your poetry?
Open Mike: To look back at my collection one day and be satisfied with what I created.
Poetical Tv: Nice. Last questions though Mike, how can people interact with you online?
Open Mike: Twitter lol, I've gone through many phases on that site. But I think I've found my lane now. I've got a blog called www.openmikeonline.tumblr.com and a video out. Hopefully there will be more to come.
Poetical Tv: Thank you very much Mike.

In getting back to using one of my favorite weaving techniques, Theo Mooreman Inlay, I found inspiration in a hike that I did not want to go on. The Olympic National park was beautiful, but I did not realize that there was potential for snow in May in the northwest. So my dear husband made sure I did two chilly hikes and saw much of the beauty that the Mountains of the Olympic peninsula held.
I took a ton of photos of wonderful mosses close up and had the thought that I could use the layers in Theo Mooreman inlay. The first image that I zoomed into and drew out, I love the design. When I started to weave it in the Theo Mooreman technique, it was too dense. I realized that I had drawn up a pattern for Tapestry, which I had been doing a a lot of.
So putting that cartoon draft aside, I continued zooming in to get a less dense but still interesting image and this is what I cam up with.
I think I became attracted to the shape of this design because it reminded me a bit of my "Erte Inspiration" piece that I had done way back in 2005. So I set to work weaving it and planned to have it done by the 2010 MLH Conference.
It did hang at the Fiberart Exhibit at MLH, but the juror was pretty "meh" about it, and I actually am too. So I no longer feel bad about not being too pleased with it and I plan on going back into it with more beads.
(This is the piece on the wall: meh. Center: Fiberart by Marie Gile, Right: Tapestrey by Millie Danielson)
Something I have learned from this piece: Although bead embroidery is easy for me, I do not enjoy the sewing of beads as much as I enjoy the actual weaving of beads. There are some things that I want to do with more bead embroidery though, so I'm still working to find a method of bead embroidery that works for me.

This fun little family lives over seas but were home for a period last month. Pete had arranged way back at Mother's Day for a photography session gift certificate - and we got to put it to good use! Just to add to the fun, Pete arranged for Krista's sister to join us. After some thought and brainstorming, they decided to spend an early morning in Downtown Bozeman for this session, and I think it was a great decision!
Oh my gosh, this little guy was so cute - happy the whole time! So sweet. If I weren't carrying a camera round I would have wanted to just hold him and snuggle him for hours! And watch his facial expressions - wonderful!
We loved hanging out with the texture and colors of Downtown. From parks to brick walls to parking structures there are so many options!
We spend a little bit of time on Main Street, early enough in the morning that it wasn't very busy. But most of our time was in the side streets and alley ways.
Here he is, king of their hearts! I can't get over how cute he is!
And Pete and Krista are adorable as a couple - so many smiles for each other, and the sizzle of being a couple shines through!
These two sisters - beautiful! So glad Auntie got to come along and enjoy time with her sister - and her nephew too!
Had to stop for little guy to get a snack . . . but then we were right back at the photos!
See the shirt he's wearing below - that is the state of North Dakota making the "O", but way up at the top, his little shirt has the state of Montana on it. Might just be a little competition from the extended families as to which state he should call home when he's in the USA. Little guy may just have a happy case of divided loyalty!

California Public Protection and Physician Health (CPPPH) – A Brief History
by Gail Jara, Executive Director CPPPH
In June of 2007, the Medical Board of California voted to end the 27-year-old California Diversion Program, making California one of only a few states in the US without any central physician health program. The California Medical Association (CMA) quickly convened a "Workgroup on Public Protection and Physician Health" with a coalition of stakeholders, including California Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM), California Psychiatric Association (CPA), the Permanente Medical Group (TPMG), California Hospital Association (CHA), the California Society of Anesthesiologists (CSA), and eventually many other organizations and individuals who would be affected by the dissolution of the Diversion Program including liability carriers, well-being committee members, and individual service providers. That Workgroup met regularly to coordinate new strategies for addressing public protection and appropriate responses to physicians who experience medical, psychological, emotional, behavioral or substance use issues in the absence of a Medical Board-run program.
The Medical Board's Physician Diversion Program was formally closed in 2008 and some 300 physicians who had not yet completed the program were released. Private organizations and programs emerged to provide some of the needed services, but workgroup members continued to report a serious loss of options and concerns. Some of the concerns were about the lack of a central entity that could provide physicians and other consumers (hospitals, well-being committees, treatment providers) with evaluation tools and service referrals, individual case consultation, or information about credible educational and treatment resources, monitoring programs and testing services. Also cited was a lack of standardization or guidelines with which to measure the range and quality of services that did exist.
There was also significant concern that some physicians who needed ongoing support and monitoring continued to practice without aid and supervision.
In a survey of 1,891 practicing U.S. doctors that appeared in July 2010 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), researchers found that 17% of the physicians surveyed reported direct, personal knowledge of a physician who may be experiencing mental health or substance use issues, but many said they did not report these physicians. Lack of a trusted confidential resource was one of the reasons mentioned.
It is from this backdrop that California Public Protection and Physician Health, Inc. (CPPPH) was established in 2009 as an independent non-profit corporation dedicated to developing a statewide physician health program to respond to the needs articulated by the Workgroup members and others. From its inception, CPPPH founders recognized that a full-scale program that promotes physician wellness and coordinates all the services needed to address the spectrum of physician health issues would take time, energy and funding to reach full potential.
CPPPH has proceeded to address these needs while its parent organizations pursue legislation to establish and fund a state sanctioned program. CPPPH seeks to respond to the American Medical Association (AMA) Resolution that all states should provide access to programs that address physician health so that colleagues will know how to intervene appropriately.
CPPPH fosters dialogue, information sharing and coordination among physician health committees by convening half-day workshops every four months in three regions of the state, with these objectives:
- Deliver practical information, education and training for committees and persons currently doing physician health work in California. At workshops offered every four months in each region, topics are covered in depth with ample opportunity for questions and information sharing
- Provide the structure for ongoing communication and statewide information sharing
- Identify and share information about the resources that the committees currently use
- Identify needs that CPPPH will want to address as it develops plans for a statewide program and that will allow CPPPH to serve as the voice for physician health in California

So far we have read about in Chapter 7 is the whittling down of Gideon's army to the Kosher 300 and with them proceeding to take out the Midianites. Where we pick up today we will find an interesting encounter before the great battle with the Midianites. Gideon is about to go to war, but first must see what odds he is up against with his homie Purah and hear a word from God through a stranger. Before we let the carriage go ahead of the horse, let's read the text of Scripture for today's study starting in verse 9 of Chapter 7:
"Now the same night it came about that the LORD said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hands. But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp, and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp." So he went with Purah his servant down to the outposts of the army that was in the camp. Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore. When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, "Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat." His friend replied, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand." When Gideon heard the account of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, "Arise, for the LORD has given the camp of Midian into your hands." He divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all of them, with torches inside the pitchers. He said to them, "Look at me and do likewise. And behold, when I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. "When I and all who are with me blow the trumpet, then you also blow the trumpets all around the camp and say, 'For the LORD and for Gideon.'"" (NASB Judges 7:9-18)
Starting off, we find Gideon at night after the day when Gideon's forces were divided into a mere 300 soldiers. God then reveals how powerful He is by showing His knowledge of Gideon's heart, specifically the fear that encroaches it. The LORD tells Gideon that he is to go and take out the camp of the Midianites, yet at the same time offers an alternative way of approaching the Midianite camp down in the valley (v9-11a). One way to understand the two options is that Gideon could either a) immediately go down against the camp with his army of 300 soldiers or b) go with Purah his servant to the border of the camp to hear a word of confirmation, then gather his troops to go against the camp. How peculiar that God offers an alternative to someone and yet approves of both scenarios because of the certain specifics of their situation. Not very rare to see that happen in the Bible or in our time really.
The only time I can think of a situation playing out like this is when God told my Mom that she could either marry my future Father or not marry him, but either way God would approve of her decision. As my Mother recalls the moment, God did not favor either option, but instead allowed my Mom to choose and whatever she chose, God was going to bless her decision. Well, I think we all know what she chose because I exist and no thanks to the both of my parents starting their marriage wisely by seeking God first. I believe every follower in Christ will one day come to such a decision from God, if they follow Him diligently like Gideon or my Mother did.
Like in my Mother's situation, we know from reading the text which option Gideon chose because in all respects he was very afraid. It's Gideon's most common trait since we started reading about him in Chapter 6. He's a man of great fear, but will one day be known as a man of great faith. He's about to go to war for the first time and has never fought a day in his life. To even begin to describe what Gideon must have been feeling or thinking in this moment is too hard to articulate as someone who has never faced the fires of war.
The dawn of battle and war is a very scary thought even to the toughest of soldiers. It's hard for me, a civilian, to describe to you what those moments feel like on the battlefield, so here is a quote from a former soldier on his experiences in combat:
"Several hours of pure terror, your heart pounding so hard you think it might leap out of your chest, your best friend on fire, running as fast as humanly possible, pure luck, sleeping with one eye open and your hand on your weapon, laser focused on the task before you, the world melting away as the only thing you observe is a heart beating and breath being taken in, then silence.
You walk along with the rest of the group. Everyone celebrating that we're going home, but you just give a fake smile. All you can think about is not having been there 5 minutes earlier, or why didn't he duck, or why him… And the sound still stays muted even through the great yell being given by everyone as the plane lifts off the ground and heading home, the high fives given are half hearted and unenthusiastic as we stop at several airports on the way to the states. Everything quiet and just as dead as your best friend."–mherick, Reddit
With this in mind, not only is going to battle a jarring experience of courage conflicting with fear, going to your first battle even more so than most people can describe. From the testimonies of soldiers I have heard from online and in the past face-to-face, it's an odd combination of a love/hate relationship with war. Love because there is no adrenaline surge on Earth that can match the testosterone high that combat can give to someone, especially men. Hate because of the atrocities and effects that result from combat afterwards: death, destruction, purple hearts, body bags, remorse, regrets, and the like. Again, I can't do justice to what that moment is like before going to your first battle, but it's something that every soldier that has gone to combat can relate to. Gideon is going through this swell of emotions and thoughts, along with 300 soldiers ready to die for their precious nation, Israel.
Choosing the alternative option, Gideon goes down to the border of the Midianite camp with his servant Purah and comes upon two men discussing a dream that one of them had. Just a side note, the name Purah is very similar to the English word "purity" and means "bough" like the central branch of a tree. Some biblical scholars say that Purah was most likely Gideon's armor-bearer as he is referred to as a servant, which an armor-bearer was a type of servant during battle. When the two arrive at the extremity of the battle array, they stumble upon an army innumerable in size and appeared like a blanket of "locusts" in the valley below (v12).
It must have been humbling to see such a site of human power. Numbers are always impressive, no matter what it is that the numbers signify: a yearly-salary, a sports car's horsepower, Zydrunas Savickas' log press. It doesn't matter. To us mortals, numbers are impressive because they always represent some sort of power, which can lead to pride to those who have that power. Which is why God dwindled down Gideon's army, so they knew they could only win with God on their side, not from their own numbers.
As this immense enemy camp looms over Gideon's heart and fears, he and Purah find two other men by the edge of the enemy camp as one of them is "relating a dream to his friend." The dream is told as the following:
"Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat." (NASB Judges 7:13b)
Then once the dream had been proclaimed in the presence of Gideon, Purah, and the interpreter, the latter man responds with an interpretation that declares some very important truths. Let's see the interpretation in its entirety before dissecting it:
"This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand." (NASB Judges 7:14b)
Now, the dream and explaining the interpretation. In the dream of the first man there is a loaf of barley bread representing Gideon and his army. For you safe-space, triggered, millennials out there a loaf of bread is like a Twinkie, but made from real food and stuff. The loaf of bread may also signify how the Midianites were known for taking the Israelites resources, only to have it literally come back on their heads. Boy, this is a matter of loaf and death. Sorry, the-uh tumbling into the Midianite tent and turning it upside down symbolizes the victory that God has promised to Gideon. Thus, Gideon's fears were finally squashed as he hears the final confirmation that God will deliver the Amalekites and the Midianites into Israel's hands.
It's always fascinating to me how God uses dreams in the Bible to confirm or reveal information. Jeffrey Kranz of www.overviewbible.com has found that there are 21 dreams in the Bible, including this one in Judges Chapter 7. He summarizes the dream in Judges Chapter 7 as "a piece of bread rolls* into Midianites' camp and turns over the tents, foreshadowing Gideon's victory. *bun intended?" Yes Kranz, the bun is most certainly intended and the victory is now destined to happen with this divine word from God through these two men conversing.
After hearing the interpretation, Gideon worships God and then heads back with Purah to gather the kosher 300 to annihilate the enemy. He divides the 300 into groups of 100 and places trumpets in every man's hands, along with empty pitchers for their torches. Lastly, Gideon gives instruction to his army by telling them to do as he does. He ends with giving his men the battle cry of the night, which will cement his name as one of the greatest warlords in Israel's history: "For the LORD and for Gideon" (v18b)
Not only does this battle cry ring loudly as to how God will deliver Israel, but to whom God has appointed to unleash His will on those who oppose it: Gideon. A name that will send shudders down the spines of those who stand in opposition against God once His wrath is let loose upon the enemy next week. Our next study will show how Gideon's life will become a legend that will forever define his legacy as a man of faith. With that, Godspeed and Jesus bless!

Our For Women Only (FWO) groups are for those who have been hurt by the sexual addiction of a loved one, typically their spouse or ex-spouse. It is grueling to live with the anger and shame that emerge from the betrayal of your spouse's addiction. Families have been torn apart. Marriages have been destroyed. Women have been left feeling betrayed, hopeless, and alone. Group members will be able to process their pain with others who can truly empathize. They will understand the true nature of forgiveness and how to establish healthy boundaries in their relationship. They will also see how the pain of another's addiction has deepened their own wounds from the past.
FWO members find answers to questions like: How did he get this way? How can I tell if he is getting better? Can I ever trust him again? What do I do now? and more. They receive valuable tools, biblical wisdom, and the courage to find hope, help, and encouragement for their journey of personal healing.
Our FWO groups utilize Pure Desire Ministries resources and materials. Please see puredesire.org for more information. Our close partnership with the Nathan Project plays a crucial role in our ability to provide the FWO ministry and to effectively lead these groups and minister to women in crisis. Please go to nathanproject.net for additional For Women Only information and resources.

Excerpt from Choosing Decorative Vases for Living Room:
There are many options in choosing the right decorative vases for living room. However, it depends on your preference and how your room looks like. Generally, the vases do not have various shapes. Most of them consist of the foot, body, and neck. The body part is more convex than the foot and neck part, so the smallest part of the vases is its neck.

Peterson Stadium collapse kills 20, injures more
DAWSON - 20 members of the Eagle Squadron supporter group for the North Dawson Athletics Club's association football team (popularly named the Eagles) were killed when a large piece of the roof of Peterson Stadium fell on top of them, also injuring several more people during a pre-season match against Vancouver United. The stadium, built in 1933 and renovated in 2000 as part of Dawson's "Better Sporting" campaign, can hold 32,000 people and hosts several teams from the North Dawson superclub, including their American football team and rugby union team. It will be replaced in the beginning of the second half of next season with the 88,000-capacity Eagles Stadium under construction adjacent to the current structure. The roof is made of reinforced concrete and the steel was made of low quality to save costs and ultimately causing dangerous corrosion. The stadium will be closed permanently due to this accident and the first half of the season will be played at the Dawson Bowl, home of rival Dawson Ducks.
ClarkSPORT Park opens to fanfare
CLARKSPORT - The second-division Clarksport Chargers celebrated the opening of their new, 29,000-capacity stadium by defeating the Dawson Ducks 4-3 in a sold-out friendly. The new stadium is located adjacent to the Puget Sound and is fully enclosed, though the stands that don't face towards the sound can be removed for league matches, reducing capacity to 26,700. ClarkSPORT, a sports equipment company founded and based in the city, is the official sponsor of the stadium as well as the kit sponsor. The stadium is one of several new venues for lower-tiered football and baseball being built around the country, as well as in the first tier. Other new stadiums next year include the Eagles Stadium in Dawson and the New East Kalama Park in Kalama.

Everyone has to start someplace but for newcomer Kim Robins, starting somewhere near the top is not going to be a problem.
She's already reached the top of at least one chart according to one of her recent tweets on social media outlet Twitter.
Her chances for success certainly aren't dampened by the list of musicians she's called upon to help launch her debut album, 40 YEARS LATE which was released early this month.
The team assembled to create 40 Years Late starts off with her husband, the legendary Butch Robins on banjo; International Bluegrass Music Association's nine-time Fiddle Performer of the Year, Michael Cleveland; Jeff Guernsey, former fiddle player for Vince Gill, on guitar; and Lynn Manzenberger, formerly with The Wilwood Valley Boys, on bass. Cleveland's mandolin player, Nathan Livers, also played on several tracks. Richard Torstrick engineered and co-produced 40 Years Late.
40 Years Late features 12 songs that display heartache and regeneration. Seven of the twelve songs were written by Robins herself, telling stories about keeping a dream in the back seat for many years; it will speak to those who have done the same. The collection includes stories that reflect Robins' own life through her original songs and remakes of bluegrass legends.
"This album is a mixture of traditional and progressive bluegrass, country and blues.
"Someone once asked me why don't you choose one genre, and I replied because it is everything I am" said Kim. Her favorite track on the album is "Cry" she states that it is a true story and very emotional.
She was an original member, and the youngest, of the Little Nashville Opry in Nashville, Indiana. Her mother's encouragement that she practice daily and sing loud paid off as she traveled all over the country, opening for legends such as Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Barbara Mandrell and The Oak Ridge Boys.
Robins grew up with music in her veins but, at age 19, gave her first love a backseat to a new love – her baby girl. After earning two college degrees, singlehandedly raising her daughter and establishing a career, Robins met and married renowned banjo player Butch Robins – and her dream of performing music was reignited.
With Butch's encouragement, she started writing music and finding venues to showcase her powerful vocals – starting with singing backup harmony with bluegrass band Misty Stevens and Reminisce Road.
Since then, Robins has gained attention with her high energy, contemporary sound, performing at the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America, The Folk Alliance in Memphis, and opening for Junior Sisk and Ramblers Choice at the Historic Jonesborough Bluegrass
Her influences include Buck Owens, Ray Price, Loretta Lynn and Barbara Mandrell. Robins pays tribute to Connie Smith on 40 Years Late. Robins mimics the iconic hiccup that Connie Smith delivers on her debut album in "I've Got My Baby on My Mind". 40 Years Late also features a bonus track with her father, a bluegrass great, Don Brummett and Butch Robins.
40 Years Late Track Listing:
1.Born to Roam
2. Cry
3. If You Lived Here
4. Forty Years Late
5. I've Got My Baby on My Mind
6. Can't You Hear Me Calling
7. Another Place in Time
