This is the start of my new bit – the (almost) daily pinterest rant post. Since this blog is mostly my own personal inspiration board why not dig deeper into the main pool of quick and unexpected inspiration – the pinterest grail. So here is my top ten pinterest finds of today.
Common! Let's put some birds on it!
A beautiful mess – just what I love more than anything. . .
Breakfast – if I could have it my way!
I do not know what restaurant this is – but I really want to go there. . . What food they serve is not a biggie!
Perfectly white in Alexander McQueen
Lotta Agaton could style my kitchen all year round!
I usually do not fall for the whole – let us put some words in a frame and call it art. But I am adoring this – and I am really considering putting it in a frame and call it ART! Oh no – am I turning Artsy Fartsy?!
I do love a good stairway. . . And this is an amazing stairway!
More vintage drawers I would so easily fill with tons of my "oh so important" crap – oh no – not crap – valuables!
I really do wish this was my home office – if only it was so. It is not – I do not even have a home office.
Some Jason Wu to get you all giddy inside – at least I am giddy.
More Ferm Living – I know I am a bit of an addict. . . But can anyone say no to those baskets? I know I can't.
I wish I was in Shanghai right now – drinking a beer and eating a pizza at MATTO Bar & Pizzeria. . . Talk about the perfect bar!
Louis Vuitton – not usually my favorite – but there is no way I could say no to that skirt!
I do love a good organized bundle of randoms – and this is done perfectly. I do love that there is a huge pile of what looks like cupcake frosting with sprinkles on it – in a box with a box in it and a gorgeous necklace stowed in another box. And what is a box with boxes and frosting in it without a huge pinkish pompom hanging over it? Oh it would be nothing – besides a box with boxes and frosting.
I usually end up a with a bit of a cringe when I get presented with people kissing. But this is pretty beautiful – all black besides the pale faces smashed together in the corner. This is me being artsy fartsy – so please do enjoy.
I love how this is taking the back to nature trend all the way to the "Me Tarzan – you Jane – this Yeti" side of it.
Yes it is a living room – I do love my living rooms. I love how it has rugs enough to cover 4 hallways, some mismatched wooden feet out for a stroll, either an oversized couch or two undersized chairs (or it could be that behind the couch there is a bout 20 meters of good space) and I do adore the array of woolly cushions and the tiny Pingu in the mix.
Oh well – that was my Sunday Rant… And I do stick true to my headline – all images have been harvested from Pinterest.

That would be nice. I'll think about it. I often run into her at the supermarket. She treated him like a king. What I reckon is... Alright, then let's take an umbrella. Is your brother coming with us? You ought to love your neighbors. Tom came home early yesterday. I have college today. There is an urgent need for peace talks. I wonder why she didn't tell him about it.

I could hardly endure the pain. You should rather have milk than coffee. In my humble opinion... David is very active. Let's leave it up to him. A lot of people are now trying to sell their houses.

This specification describes how a client application can display links and embed rich previews for resources from other applications. Links may have a label and an icon, and previews are HTML markup provided by a server and displayed directly inside the client application.
Previews often appear as a pop-up when a user mouses over a link as in . However, a client may wish to display a preview differently depending on the kind of application, the size of the screen, and the capabilities of the device. For example, a desktop application on a PC might handle previews differently than a mobile application running on a small touchscreen.
Servers can provide both small and large previews. A client might show a small preview first, then if the user gestures, show additional details from the large preview. Servers suggest sizes for previews, and previews can ask to be resized after they are displayed.
A client only needs to know the URI of a resource to display a link and a preview. It doesn't need to know anything else about the resource. Clients don't need to copy, synchronize, or cache any data.
Terminology uses and extends the terminology and capabilities of OSLC Core Overview [[!OSLCCore3]], W3C Linked Data Platform [[!LDP]], W3C's Architecture of the World Wide Web [[WEBARCH]], and Hyper-text Transfer Protocol [[!HTTP11]].
The following terms are used in discussions of previews:
The namespace for OSLC Core is
Commonly used namespace prefixes:
@prefix dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/>. @prefix oslc: <http://open-services.net/ns/core#>. @prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>. @prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#>.
Applications often display links to related resources from other applications. For example, a quality management application might show a link to a related defect when displaying a test result. In some cases, the quality management application only has a URI pointing to the defect. The application needs a way to display the link with an appropriate label and icon so testers find out the status of the defect without leaving the quality management application.
Compact resources and resource preview provide these capabilities. Clients can discover the link label and a resource icon given only the resource URI. The client can then use the link label and icon as a means of displaying the link in a meaningful way. Previews allow users to see see information about related resources quickly without leaving the application they're in, even when the resources are from another server.
To enable previews of a resource, servers supply an associated Compact resource describing the preview. The Compact resource can contain a link label, icon, and small and/or large previews of the resource. Compact resources always have a JSON representation [[!RFC4627]], but they can also have other representations such as XML, Turtle [[!turtle]] or JSON-LD [[!JSON-LD]]. Here is a simple example of a Compact resource:
{ "title": "Screenshot of the problem", "icon": "http://example.com/icons/attachment.jpg", "smallPreview": { "document": "http://example.com/bugs/324/screenshot?preview=small" } }
To display a link with a label or a preview of a resource, clients request
its Compact resource. The URI of the Compact resource is found through an
Link header [[!RFC5988]] in HTTP responses to the resource
URI. Alternatively, a client can use a
Prefer request header
in requests for the resource to ask for its Compact resource. The server
can then inline the Compact resource directly in the response, saving an
HTTP request.
The Compact resource may contain small and/or large previews. Each preview can
have size hints and a link to an HTML representation designed to be
embedded in other user interfaces. To display the preview, the client
creates an HTML
iframe element in its user interface and sets
iframe element's
src to the preview document
URI. This sandboxes the preview from other content in the client
application and allows the preview to use its own stylesheets and
Clients can discover Compact resources in three ways:
The HTTP
Accept header allows clients to access previews using the
application/x-oslc-compact+xml MIME type extension to request the Compact resource representation for a URI instead of the content of the resource itself. This usage is considered deprecated and is included only to maintain compatibility with [[!OSLCUIPreview20]].
The HTTP
Link header allows servers to offer previews for any
resource, even binary resources with no RDF or JSON representations. To
discover previews using the
Link header, a client typically
performs an HTTP HEAD or OPTIONS request on the resource URI. The response contains a
Link header with the URI of the Compact resource. The
client then performs a GET request on the Compact URI to retrieve the
Compact resource.
Clients might instead use the HTTP
Prefer header to get the
Compact resource in a single HTTP request. If the client is confident
that the resource has a preview, it makes an HTTP GET request on the
resource URI using the
return=representation preference
[[!RFC7240]] and an
include parameter [[!LDP]] asking for the
Compact resource to be included in the response. The provider responds with
a minimal representation of the resource and the Compact resource in the
HTTP response body.
[[!OSLCUIPreview20]] utilizes a MIME type extension,
application/x-oslc-compact+xml to allow servers to use content negotiation with the HTTP
Accept header to access the Compact representation of a resource instead of the content of the resource itself.
GET /bugs/324/screenshot HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/x-oslc-compact+xml
This returns a Compact resource with
Content-Type: application/x-oslc-compact+xml as defined in .
In responses to HTTP requests for resources that have a preview, servers
include a
Link header [[!RFC5988]] where the link relation is
http://open-services.net/ns/core#Compact and the target URI is
the URI of the Compact resource.
HEAD /bugs/324/screenshot HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 45789 Content-Type: image/png ETag: "678609cdee68e0fb8aea5f252b84a511" Link: <http://example.com/bugs/324/screenshot?compact>; rel="http://open-services.net/ns/core#Compact"
Clients can request the Compact resource using the target URI of the
Link header.
GET /bugs/324/screenshot?compact HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 192 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 ETag: "3bf6fbc90e11b3c2cc30acb534b452ea" Vary: Accept,Accept-Language { "title": "Screenshot of the problem", "shortTitle": "screenshot.png", "smallPreview": { "document": "http://example.com/bugs/324/screenshot?preview=small" } }
Servers can also return a
Link header in response to successful
requests that create resources. This allows the client to get the Compact
resource URI for new resources without making additional requests. Note
that servers set the
Link context using an
parameter if the request URI is not the same as the newly-created resource
POST /bugs HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Content-Length: 153 Content-Type: text/turtle @prefix dcterms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> . <> a <http://example.com/ns#Bug> ; dcterms:title "Something went wrong" .
HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Length: 0 Link: <http://example.com/bugs/478?compact>; rel="http://open-services.net/ns/core#Compact"; anchor="http://example.com/bugs/478" Location: http://example.com/bugs/478
Clients can request a Compact resource by making an HTTP GET request to the
target resource's URI using the
preference of the HTTP Prefer request header [[!RFC7240]] and
include parameter [[!LDP]] value
http://open-services.net/ns/core#PreferCompact. Servers
supporting resource preview must support this method of discovery for
resources with RDF or JSON representations.
GET /bugs/324 HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Accept: application/json Prefer: return=representation; include="http://open-services.net/ns/core#PreferCompact"
If the provider supports a preview for this resource and the request is successful, the response includes the Compact resource in its body.
The response content type is negotiated using the HTTP
request header. If the negotiated content type is
application/json, the response body is a JSON object. The
top-level JSON object has a
compact property whose value is
the JSON object describing the Compact resource in
. The JSON may include other properties.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 315 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 ETag: "f9d76afe5fbed1655c5768906db8958a" Preference-Applied: return=representation Vary: Accept,Accept-Language,Prefer { "compact": { "title": "324: Need a fix NOW", "icon": "http://example.com/icons/defect.jpg", "largePreview": { "document": "http://example.com/bugs/324?preview=large", "hintHeight": "250px", "hintWidth": "400px" } } }
Services may include a JSON-LD context in an
response. Clients who prefer RDF should request
application/ld+json using the HTTP
request header, rather than
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 788 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 ETag: "d53d19be87fa9c61043c70bd91413dab" Preference-Applied: return=representation Vary: Accept,Accept-Language,Prefer { "@id": "http://example.com/bugs/324", "@type": "http://example.com/ns#Bug", "@context": "http://docs.oasis-open.org/oslc-core/oslc-core/v3.0/cs01/contexts/preview.jsonld", "compact": { "@id": "http://example.com/bugs/324?compact", "@type": "http://open-services.net/ns/core#Compact", "title": "324: Need a fix NOW", "shortTitle": "324", "icon": "http://example.com/icons/defect.jpg", "iconTitle": "Defect", "iconAltLabel": "Defect", "largePreview": { "document": "http://example.com/bugs/324?preview=large", "hintHeight": "250px", "hintWidth": "400px" }, "smallPreview": { "document": "http://example.com/bugs/324?preview=small" } } }
When displaying a preview inside another HTML-based presentation, clients
create an
iframe element, setting its
src attribute
to the preview's document URI. Previews can contain HTML, stylesheets, and
scripts and might not render properly outside of an
Using the
iframe element also sandboxes the preview, avoiding
cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
Typically, the server does not include the icon or title in the preview itself. The client can display these as needed. In , the preview document is the content inside the yellow, dashed lines.
Resources can have both a small and large preview, and clients can choose which to display. Some clients display the small preview initially and let users expand to the large preview using a button or "Show more" link.
The Compact resource can include
oslc:hintHeight and
oslc:hintWidth properties for each preview. Values for
oslc:hintWidth and
oslc:hintHeight are
expressed in length units specified in
Servers can also request dynamic resizing for small and large previews. The
communication of dynamic size information happens within a web browser.
JavaScript code running in the preview
iframe sends a message
that is received and acted upon by JavaScript code running in the
iframe's parenting window. This cross-frame communication is
done using HTML 5
postMessage. Dynamic resizing will not work
inside browsers that do not support
A resize message begins with
oslc-resize: followed by a JSON
object describing the dimensions using properties
oslc:hintHeight and
|JSON Property Name
|Preferred height of the preview. Values are expressed using length units as specified in [[!CSS21]].
|Preferred width of the preview. Values are expressed using length units as specified in [[!CSS21]].
For example, the following message requests that the preview be resized to height of 277 pixels and a width of 400 pixels.
oslc-resize:{"oslc:hintHeight": "277px", "oslc:hintWidth": "400px"}
The following JavaScript example sends a resize request to the parent window.
var size = { 'oslc:hintHeight': '277px', 'oslc:hintWidth': '400px' }; if (window.postMessage && window.parent) { window.parent.postMessage('oslc-resize:' + JSON.stringify(size), "*"); }
Clients can ignore a server's size hints and use other values. For instance, a client might choose another size if the preview is too large for the window.
The following guidance is suggested for Client display of a resource link and rich previews. For purposes of this discussion, assume source resource A has a URI property that refers to target resource B:
The typical way for forming and displaying the hyperlink should be based on information that is stored locally in source resource A (or that is generally known to the Client). Generally, link text can be derived from property values of resource A, and potentially from a string or literal property value in the reference to the target resource B, if such a property exists. Because these property values are part of the representation of the source resource A, they are available without consulting the target resource, and will be available even if the target resource B cannot be fetched. When available, Clients should display this string (as opposed to the URI) when presenting resource A to indicate a potential navigation to resource B. This is the basic presentation of a link to target resource B.
The default display of the link from A to B is visible to any user authorized to access resource A. The use of Compact representation information described below is only viable for users who are also authorized to access resource B.
A Compact representation of the resource may contain a more accurate and slightly richer label for a target resource (
dcterms:title element), a short-form title for the resource (
oslc:shortTitle), and a corresponding image (
oslc:icon), possibly chosen from a set with different sizes (
oslc:iconSrcSet), all of which may be based on the current state of the target resource. If this becomes known to the Client, the client should assume that this information is better and use it in forming the hyperlink that is displayed to the user. When available,
oslc:shortTitle may be used instead of
dcterms:title in presentations where visual space is severely limited.
Clients should not fetch Compact representations when there is perfectly usable default display information available. When designing a Client application, consideration should be given to the potential benefits of obtaining an improved title and icon for the target resource against the costs of preemptively fetching the Compact representation in terms of added load on servers and networks (which might only be apparent to users on slow networks or heavily loaded servers).
Clients should be wary of material obtained from non-trusted sources; in particular, the Client should check that the dcterms:title and oslc:shortTitle property values do not contain HTML markup beyond the specified set of simple elements.
When the resource does not supply preferred sizing for a preview, the Client should default to a reasonably generous value. The default value a Client uses may be different for different window and screen sizes.
If a user mouses or hovers over a displayed link, the Client
should determine whether the target resource has a small
preview (
oslc:smallPreview). If it does, the Client
should present the small preview document in a hovering
widget. Since preview documents may contain arbitrary content, including
HTML and scripts, Client must use iframes if embedding
the preview document inside another HTML-based presentation.
The Client should not attempt to prefetch a Compact representation just to have the preview URIs in hand so that the hover can come up faster. There is a low chance that the user will make a gesture that would call for the display of a small preview. It would generally be a poor trade-off to increase overall system load just to decrease UI latency for low probability eventualities. Clients may wish to utilize lazy loading techniques to only access preview dialogs that users actually view, and can cache those dialogs for subsequent uses if needed to improve performance.
If the user then gestures that they want to see a bit more of the resource,
the Client should determine whether the target resource has a large
preview (
oslc:largePreview). If it does, the Client
should present the large preview document in a stationary
widget that permits further user interaction. Again, since preview
documents may contain arbitrary content, including HTML and scripts,
Clients must use iframes if embedding the preview
document inside another HTML-based presentation.

This document applies the following constraints to the [[!OSLCCoreVocab]] vocabulary terms.
A Compact resource JSON representation might look like the following for the
target resource
{ "title": "324: Need a fix NOW", "shortTitle": "324", "icon": "http://example.com/icons/defect.jpg", "iconSrcSet": "http://example.com/icons/smallIcon.png 16w, http://example.com/icons/largeIcon.png 64w", "iconTitle": "Defect", "iconAltLabel": "Defect", "largePreview": { "document": "http://example.com/bugs/324?preview=large", "hintHeight": "250px", "hintWidth": "400px" }, "smallPreview": { "document": "http://example.com/bugs/324?preview=small" } }
The JSON representation has the following constraints:
title or
properties MUST, if present, only contain markup
valid in an HTML
span element. To afford clients the
greatest flexibility to style the text to match the context in which
it is being displayed, the titles SHOULD be plain
text with HTML markup used only to emphasize words or phrases or to
convey additional information about the target resource.
icon, if present, MUST be the URI of an
image. The image SHOULD be square. A client
MAY scale the image as needed.
iconSrcSet, if present, MUST provide a comma-separated list of image URIs along with image size as specified for the HTML img srcset attribute.
iconAltLabel and
iconTitle, if present,
MUST only have string content with no markup.
smallPreview and
largePreview, if present,
MAY have any number of properties, including none.
smallPreview and
largePreview, if
present, MUST be the JSON representation of an
Preview MUST include a document
property. It MAY have any number of other
document MUST be the URI of a document
containing a preview of the resource.
hintWidth and
hintHeight, if
present, MUST be expressed using
length units as specified in [[!CSS21]].
The following JSON-LD Context may be used with JSON Compact representations.
The following JSON Schema [[!JSONSchema]] describes the Compact JSON representation.
A Compact resource XML representation woould look like the following for the
target resource
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:oslc="http://open-services.net/ns/core#"> <oslc:Compact rdf:about="http://example.com/bugs/12345"> <dcterms:title> 12345: Need a "fix" NOW </dcterms:title> <oslc:shortTitle> 12345 </oslc:shortTitle> <oslc:icon rdf:resource="http://example.com/icons/defect.jpg" /> <oslc:iconAltLabel>Defect</oslc:iconAltLabel> <oslc:iconTitle>Defect</oslc:iconTitle> <oslc:smallPreview> <oslc:Preview> <oslc:document rdf:resource="http://example.com/bugs/12345?hover=small" /> </oslc:Preview> </oslc:smallPreview> <oslc:largePreview> <oslc:Preview> <oslc:document rdf:resource="http://example.com/bugs/12345?hover=large" /> <oslc:hintWidth> 60em </oslc:hintWidth> <oslc:hintHeight> 20em </oslc:hintHeight> </oslc:Preview> </oslc:largePreview> </oslc:Compact> </rdf:RDF>
The XML representation has the following syntactic and semantic constraints:
rdf:RDF and SHOULD identify the namespaces for RDF (
http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#), Dublin Core (
http://purl.org/dc/terms/), and OSLC (
http://open-services.net/ns/core#), as well as namespaces for any additional Provider supplied properties.
oslc:Compact element MUST be a child of the root element and MUST specify an
rdf:about attribute whose value is the URI of the target resource.
oslc:Compact element MAY have any number of child elements, including none. Each child element specifies one property of the target resource. The order of child elements is not significant.
oslc:smallPreview, and
oslc:largePreview child elements MAY occur at most once.
dcterms:title or
oslc:shortTitle element MUST be limited to any XHTML  element. To afford clients the greatest flexibility to style the text to match the context in which it is being displayed, the titles SHOULD be plain text with XHTML markup used only to emphasize words or phrases or to convey additional information about the target resource.
oslc:icon element MUST have an
rdf:resource attribute whose value is a URI of an image. The image SHOULD be 16x16 pixels in size.
oslc:iconAltLabel and
oslc:iconTitle elements MUST only have string content.
oslc:smallPreview and
oslc:largePreview elements MAY have any number of child elements, including none.
oslc:Preview element MUST be a child of an
oslc:smallPreview or
oslc:largePreview element and MAY occur at most once.
oslc:Preview element MAY have any number of child elements, including none. Each child element specifies one property of the Preview. The order of child elements is not significant.
oslc:hintHeight, and
oslc:initialHeight child elements MAY occur at most once.
oslc:document element MUST have an
rdf:resource attribute whose value is a URI of a document containing a preview of the resource.
oslc:hintHeight, or
oslc:initialHeight element MUST be a valid relative length value.
dcterms:title and
oslc:shortTitle, MAY include additional child elements not specified here. Consumers MUST quietly ignore unknown elements and attributes encountered in a Compact representation.

Jonah Hex - movie review
Just in time for Dad's day out. What we've all been waiting for! A western based on a graphic novel, no less.
Yeap, you got it. Something for the young and grandpa too. Amazingly, PG-13. Who would have thunk it? Everything a guy could want. Weapons, explosions and Megan Fox.
The cast has some great actors. I haven't seen John Malkovich sink his teeth into being a villian like this in ages. More surprises, Aidan Quin as President Grant. Of course, who can show pain better than Josh Brolin? I've loved him since Goonies.
Definitely a guy's movie that some might not see a problem in taking their little guy to. I did see many a Dad out with their underage tween. Based on a DC comic, what could be the harm? Laced with one liners from a modern day Mae West is Megan Fox's Lilah. She knows she's a pin up girl, and she's making the most of it in her sultry part. Remember, this film is pushing an R-rating so if you have a problem with men visiting the upstair rooms of a drinking establishment and violent rampages to go with it, you may want to stay away. But if you want some good fun for a little while, then sit back and enjoy the show.
True, Malkovich's Turnbull is no more than a terrorist. War has turned him bad, for good. And its his doing that has severed the life, Hex (Josh Brolin) knew, leaving him more than scarred for life. Jonah Hex can talk to dead people with a touch, thanks to the Crows bringing him back from the dead. Naturally, Turnbull has so many sinister plans, killing women and children along the way that the President finally calls for Jonah's help.
So the plot begins. And just how will Jonah save our good nation? You'll just have to buy some popcorn and see for yourself at the theater.
Granted, this is no drama for your Mama, but it will certainly give you a laugh here and there of things said and how a trigger took care of the problem. If you are missing Westerns as much as I do, this has a dose of Clint Eastwood-like moves. Landscapes you swear could be from a spaghetti western, yet it is kept real with the feel of being there from the sweat clinging to Megan's bosoms to the rugged demeanor of a past life once known. Granted, this is more of back East after the civil war (yet, there are guns and horses), but it does give one the historical feel of a war that had gone on so long that perhaps all men had left in their souls to do is hate and destruction. Something to think about in our present time. Isn't it just history repeating itself? At least in this movie, there is a hero. Jonah Hex.

Glad to heart this was fun! Me and my friends are big Hex fans, and even used his name for a character in our Spaghetti Western Concept Rap album, called "Showdown at the BK Corral." (basically an epic Spaghetti Western over 9 tracks - very influenced by Morricone - you can download it for free at sunsetparkriders.com - I'd love you hear what you think!)
When we started out, the character was totally obscure, but now that there's the big movie out, I've been curious to see what people think of our thing.

I HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN OUT FOR 4 MONTHS! The time has flown by! I am having so much fun.
I also finished the BOOK OF MORMON for my first time! I guess you can say I am officially Mormon now ;)
It's almost Thanksgiving!! I am pretty excited for that considering we already have 4 dinner appointments lined up for Thanksgiving. I have a feeling I am going to get really fat and really sick!
This week was an alright week. It was just one of those weeks where people like to cancel on us and we aren't able to get a whole lot of members out with us. It wasn't terrible though.
On Monday we had a Zone P-Day. The whole zone got together and we had district volleyball tournaments. My District did pretty dang good. We made cool district shirts. Everyone was jealous of our shirts. Elder Karr was at Zone P-Day and was a little mad that we never made cool shirts when he was still in our district.
We had a Meeting where the Zone leaders talked to us Monday night after we played games. That ended at about 8:30 and then we had calls saying that there was going to be severe weather and possible tornado's so Elder Karr and Elder Jensen got to sleep over at our place! Fortunately there weren't any tornado's.
Elder Neves is starting to get on my nerves. I guess that is life when you are a missionary. Being within sight and sound of someone 24/7 is hard work. Sometimes I just want my space! I think I will be able to make him stop annoying some way some how!
We had a miracle this week! On Saturday we went with the Spanish sisters to have a hand off lesson. They found someone they started teaching but they are more English than Spanish speaking so we get to teach them. They are so awesome! There names are Ray and Yesika Cordier. They have a 2 year old named me-la. I don't know how to spell it. They also have a little baby named Cora. We invited them to read, pray and come to church and they said they would.
Lord behold they were at church! I was so proud of our ward because they fellowshipped them so well. There little 2 year old girl had the time of her life in Nursery and the baby was well taken care of in Relief Society. They kept telling everyone that they would see them next week and they told us they loved church! I am so excited! They are definitely getting baptized because they have been prepared for us! My prayers have been answered!
Unfortunteatlye that is all I have to report on today. Hopefully more next time!
Remember to read, pray, and go to church!
Sincerely, Elder Brisk
That is all.
Our awesome District shirts!
I love Zone P-Day's! Everyone is always so happy!
We also got to go to the Temple with Sister Walker. She got her endowments!
We also got to feed Brother Ruick's snakes. I decided that snakes freak me out.

Being a Bolognesi
I just got back from my first trip outside of Aix. This weekend we went to Nice, France and Monaco (my newest country), it was really cool!
I woke up really early after going to bed late, the usual. Got to the bus and picked the seat with the most leg room. While I was on the bus with our art history tour guide I re-realized something about Europe that is fascinating to me.
As we were driving down the highway our guide said to look for the cathedral ,which holds Mary Magdelins (probably spelled that wrong) relics. As I saw this cathedral from the highway I also saw the equivalent of a wal-mart just down the street from this church.
I just realized how hard it is to go anywhere on this continent without tripping over history, where as in the U.S. you usually have to go out of your way to find history.
Moving on. So anyway we get to Nice and the place is awesome! As we drove past the airport the mediterranean emerged. The water was pure blue and the town was amazing. It was so odd to see the snowcapped alps in the background while a hairy european in a speedo swam in the sea.
We got off of the bus and walked down the street with the open air market that was selling everything from local fresh flowers, the most delicious looking strawberries that I have ever seen along with other fruits and food.
This street runs parallel with the UNITED STATES STREET. Literally Rue de les etats-unis. USA street runs right in front of the sea and that was my next stop. Great place to take pictures. The beach at Nice had some perfectly rounded pebbles with a little bit of sand where the surf met the shore.
After watching one of our IAU pals fall into the surf after attempting a handstand, it was time to climb the giant hill overlooking the city, an even better time for pictures. At the top of this hill was a waterfall. The waterfall was splashing a little bit of water around the walkway and I put up the hood on my Patagucci H2no jacket and acted like I was a hurricane reporter, attracting even more attention to myself, as if the bright orange coat wasn't already doing that.
From the top of this hill you can clearly see the border of the old city. The red roofs were the distinguishing factor. After we descended we proceeded to eat lunch at the cheapest place we could find then on to the old city (you'll get pics later because I don't feel like writing about it.)
After Nice it was on to Eze. You should really google it because that place is fantastic. We went to some lame perfume factory and then to the town which was awesome, empty but awesome.
As night fell we went to our hostel to eat dinner, then off to Monaco, country #6 for Patrick. I of course kept it classy and wore jeans, but I got in!!!!!! This place was amazing there were multiple Bentleys out front accompanied by an Aston Martin not to mention the random assortment of Porches and Mercedes, etc. While the building and the cars were incredible, the people inside really caught my attention.
When we get in there weren't a lot of ppl, keep in mind we went at like 10, which is the early bird special for Monaco. I considered buying some whisky on the rocks, but it was 17 euro. So I watched some roulette and some hold em, but no one caught my attention more than the guy that rented a private roulette table. To be fair the smoking cougars in their sequence dresses caught my attention too -- jk they were like 60.
Anyway this guy probably owned all of the cars out front because I saw him put over 300,000 euro on the table for a single bet. Apparently this dude lost over 700,000 euro throughout our time there, but whenever he would win he would jump on the chair and yell attracting attention of course.
So the time came and we left for our hostel where our disco awaited us. We pre-gamed in our room with an 83 cent bottle of wine then went to the party. It reminded me of high school a little bit, but it was still really fun.
I got up to the bar to buy a beer and it was 4 euro! How am I supposed to get my drink on at that price? It didn't stop me, of course.
While I was breaking it down on the dance floor, someone elbowed my arm knocking my glass into my front tooth, I immediately feared going to the dentist, but it turned out to be fine.
After running up to each and everyone of my boys and yelling their name as i greeted them, I went to bed, well I wanted to. Just as I was turing the lights off, being the first back to my room my roommate busts in with a few female friends and we continued to discuss whose homestate was best.
It was a minor miracle that I woke up with time to shower. Now of course hostels dont have towels and I forgot mine, so the bedsheet pulled double duty. I got to the cafeteria with just enough time to grab an apple then it was off to Monaco for a day time experience. This place is a post card.
We assembled in front of the Palace ,which sits on top of a hill and took pictures of the bay and surrounding areas. I was video taping the changing of the guard when our tour guide pointed out that the princess was walking her dog, so I got her on tape.
The rest of the day consisted of me taking pictures of Ferraris and walking off a minor hang over. With time running out I rushed to the top of the hill to meet my group, and I can say that I have walked more since I have gotten here than I have in my entire life.
I then boarded the bus put some John Mayer on the ipod and I was off to sleep and woke up in Aix.

The Republican-dominated State Board of Education will sue over a new law transferring many of its powers to newly-elected Republican state Superintendent of Public Instruction Mark Johnson.
The board discussed legal action in closed-door meetings for about three hours over the past week, including for nearly an hour on Wednesday. Members did not speak publicly after the meeting but issued a statement saying, "The State Board of Education today authorized its attorneys to move forward with a constitutional challenge to the provisions of" the law "that attempt to transfer the State Board of Education's constitutional powers and duties to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction."
During a special session two weeks ago, the GOP-led legislature consolidated hiring powers at the Department of Public Instruction with Johnson, removing the need for state board approval of administrative and supervisory staff appointments. The law removes the need for board approval of contracts. The head of the state charter school office and a new superintendent of a special state school district to be made up of charter schools would work for Johnson rather than the board.
Johnson, a lawyer from Winston-Salem, defeated longtime Democratic Superintendent June Atkinson in the election. The state superintendent is responsible for running the state Department of Public Instruction. Many of DPI's top administrators remained with the department after control of the board shifted from Democrats to Republicans more than three years ago.
Johnson praised the new law in a statement after the legislature approved it. He called the changes "straight-forward, common-sense reforms" that clarify the relationship between the superintendent and the board. He could not be reached Wednesday.
Board of Education Chairman Bill Cobey, a former GOP congressman and former chairman of the state Republican Party, could not be reached after the announcement. Cobey questioned the constitutionality of the law before it passed, raising the possibility of a lawsuit.
Senate leader Phil Berger, an Eden Republican, said in a statement that the board should stop wasting money on a lawsuit that it will lose.
"This law returns to the Superintendent of Public Instruction – who was just elected by 2.3 million voters to lead our state's public schools – the basic administrative powers granted by the constitution that were stripped away by Democrats for political reasons in 1994, and it is incredibly disappointing that an appointed board would divert tax dollars meant for our students and teachers into a lawsuit that re-litigates a court case they've already lost once before," Berger said in a statement. "The board should immediately drop this lawsuit, stop fighting to maintain a course that has been rejected by North Carolina voters, and instead start working with the elected Superintendent to improve our public schools."
Johnson did not raise the issue of consolidating power in his campaign.
Conflicts over divisions of power between the state board and the superintendent go back decades.
The constitution says the state board "shall supervise and administer the free public school system," and the superintendent is the board's "secretary and chief administrative officer."
In 1995, the legislature passed a bill sponsored by House Republicans that put the board in charge of the Department of Public Instruction. Republicans controlled the state House and Democrats held a majority in the state Senate. Democrat Jim Hunt was governor and Democrat Bob Etheridge was state superintendent.
In 2009, Atkinson sued Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue and the board over Perdue's appointment of then-board Chairman Bill Harrison as education CEO. Atkinson won in Superior Court and Perdue did not appeal.

The world is changing rapidly, and nowhere is that felt more acutely than in the workplace. Technological advances are leading to companies automating tasks that traditionally were done by humans, leaving many workers with the choice of either learning new skills or finding new jobs – and in some cases needing to do both.
At the same time, companies that are developing or using these new innovations are struggling to find the talent they need to grow. A talented workforce in an innovation-based economy can mean the difference between success and failure for a company. Both sides – workers and employers – are going to need new solutions to workforce development that fit this new reality. There are a number of factors to consider when designing new approaches to support training and talent matching.
Future skills, today
Our research indicates that 42 percent of the Canadian labour market is at high risk of being impacted by automation within the next 20 years. The anticipated changes in the labour market will also impact the skills required for workers to remain competitive. A recent report from RBC suggests that roughly 50 percent of occupations will undergo a significant skills overhaul as a result of technological disruptions. While these disruptions may eliminate some jobs, they also present an opportunity for new job roles.
For example, jobs requiring digital skills are expected to be in high demand in the near future. According to an Information and Communications Technology Council report, the information and communications technology sector is expected to seek an additional 216,000 workers with technology-oriented skills by 2021. Evidence also strongly suggests that technological changes in the workplace will increase the value of social skills among workers as these skills are more immune to automation. RBC's report reinforces these findings by suggesting that there will be 350,000 job openings in 2021 for workers who possess a high degree of critical thinking skills and social skills.
Policymakers are thinking about mid-career workers
Policymakers are now turning their attention to the impact this skill transition will have on mid-career workers. The scale of this transition is massive. McKinsey estimates that as many as 375 million workers, or roughly 14 percent of the global workforce, will need to switch jobs. There is recognition that the skills development infrastructure required to rapidly re-skill adult workers is not currently in place.
The Advisory Council on Economic Growth highlighted the urgent need to develop this infrastructure, suggesting the need for a third pillar of skills development, focused on working adults, to build on the first two pillars of K-12 and post-secondary education, and supports for the unemployed and retired. The Council suggests that this could be achieved in part through the development of a new Future Skills organization that would pilot new approaches to helping adult workers up-skill and retrain. The Government of Canada's 2017 budget adopted this recommendation, committing $225 million over four years, and $75 million thereafter, for the creation of this Future Skills organization, which is slated to be launched this year.
The Government of Ontario, in its most recent 2018 budget, announced the creation of the Ontario Training Bank , to "serve as a one-stop shop for employers, job seekers and workers to access the skills training that meets their needs."
Industry comes to the table
There are lots of different reasons people continue to engage in education throughout their lives – to support career goals, to broaden their horizons or for personal interest. When we talk about up-skilling mid-career workers, the objective is to help them obtain stable employment and to provide employers with a wider pool of talent that fits their needs. It is essential that training be informed, or even led, by employers, to ensure that it reflects the processes that fast growing companies use to attract and evaluate talent and the skills they are looking for.
As part of our research for our recent report, Understanding the Talent Gap: Lessons + Opportunities for Canada, we spoke with over 30 start-ups and scale-ups in the Greater Toronto Area and Kitchener-Waterloo region, to better understand their skill needs and their perceived challenges in securing needed talent. We synthesized our findings around four broad stages that employers undergo when recruiting talent.
Figure 1: Employer Key Findings
Building a solution: Palette Inc.
These insights come from initial research to understand how work is changing and what talent fast-growing companies are looking for. Translating this research into action, however, requires a systematized approach to capturing the changing nature of work, the demands of workers and the talent needs of employers.
Our solution, to that end, is Palette Inc. The Brookfield Institute is incubating Palette, which will serve as a platform for helping mid-career workers to reskill and fast-growing companies to find needed talent. As highlighted by the Advisory Council on Economic Growth in their Learning Nation report, we see Palette Inc. as a vital building block for a new pillar in Canada's skills development infrastructure, focused on supporting the job and skill transitions of mid-career workers.
Technological change will no doubt bring about workplace disruption; however, new responses that focus on the needs of both mid-career workers and employers have the potential to strengthen Canada's innovation-driven economy in a way that works for everyone.

Plastic surgery is intrinsically horrifying. Just the names of the procedures represented here (liposuction, face peel) sound pretty gross. Pair this with the at-the-time growing popularity of such procedures, and it's unsurprising that the show would explore this area of medical science, if only to exploit it for all of its grotesque qualities. So, we're audience to face meltings, face suckage, explosions of blood, and pentagram leeches. The latter is clearly a band-name in the making. It's a little disappointing, however, that Sanguinarium is lacking in the substance department. Sure, it's insanely gross, but pretty light everywhere else.
The mystery of the week felt a little like Die Hand Die Verletzt, with a group of superior-types sitting around and discussing a cover-up of some kind of supernatural phenomena responsible for mass casualties, all within a place that's supposed to be safe. I guess it was a neat red herring that the medical board at the hospital weren't a huge coven of black magic folk, but it dragged the episode down a little. I've voiced my belief in the past that guest star-driven scenes never really work in a show like this, unless Mulder and Scully themselves are intentionally written as supporting characters. Seeing a bunch of random people interacting with one another with ambiguous dialogue and vacant faces just isn't fun.
The resolution, involving face-swapper Dr. Franklin and white witch Nurse Waite, is intriguing, but newbie writers Valerie and Vivian Mayhew struggle to justify some of the more elaborate set pieces. It's all a little empty. Yes, it's fun seeing Franklin levitating, it's great when Waite begins to cough up pins, and equally awesome when she emerges from a bath of blood. But none of this has any real purpose or explanation. It's insanity for the sake of insanity.
While there are a lot of problems here, the episode does at least have a momentum which never lets up. It's fun, but completely lacking in anything resembling a point or purpose. Rating C
Guest stars Richard Beymer (Dr. Jack Franklin); O-Lan Jones (Nurse Rebecca Waite); Arlen Mazerolle (Dr. Shannon); Gregory Thirloway (Dr. Mitchell Kaplan)
Writers Valerie Mayhew, Vivian Mayhew Director Kim Manners

The Guardian behaved in a very fair way in Tower Hamlets.
Another article on Faith to Faithless this time by the wonderful Nick Cohen who has a lot of things to say about Tower Hamlets in other articles.
Shame that this is not happening in the UK Tower Hamlets could do with it.

A question rather general: whenever one of you disagrees with someone else, there is the last resort thing: "It's Revelation". Now, if God has written all the Bible, He did not write with his hands; I believe he used men to write it. Could these men have made mistake?
If not, when there are passages contraddicting each other in the Bible, and all the Bible is written by God, either God is incoherent or the incoherence has to be imputed to men: ho do you make sense of the incoherence?
I read somewhere that the need of interpreting the bible was born when distance in time starts got bigger.I suppose I shall get a response together at the weekend, but as of this moment I can without reserve say a big "Pffffft." to the notion that in the olden days the bible didn't need to be interpreted.
It's here when you need Hermeneutics, which is really a "science" helping you building bridges between the Past and the Present.
What I think some of you fail to grasp is that the Judeo-Christian God is a historic God, a God living in history and that must act into history and that reveals himself fully as history goes on. If this God speaks to men (and women) He will speak to them according the historical development.
So it might be that what was not good before (like women fully partecipating to the spiritual life) is good now (maybe even women becoming priest).

Students reporting threats is crucial for school leaders
A Ray Middle School student is being praised tonight for alerting school leaders about another student bringing a B.B. Gun onto a bus.
Superintendent Matthew McDonald said not only was this brave, but it allowed school officials to get the situation under control and take the B.B. Gun away in a matter of minutes.
"Cause if it weren't for the kids, we wouldn't know, and who knows what could happen," McDonald said.
McDonald said students are key in situations like this one.
He said it's the trusting environment the staff creates that make students comfortable enough to speak up.
"They're great teachers, great educators, but at the same time, they build relationships. And when you build relationships and trust, kids will come to you and talk to you. So, without that, kids would never come and report things," McDonald said.
Onondaga Sheriff's Deputy Michael Nord is a school resource officer. He says he knows it can seem intimidating to talk to someone in uniform, especially as a young student.
"They are our eyes and ears of what's going on inside the buildings, and the information that they give us is absolutely critical to the safety and security of the buildings," Nord said. "No matter how small the information might seem, it could end up being something extremely large."
But both officials said whatever you do, don't let it go.
"Tell someone, you know, report it. Even if it's nothing or you're not sure, better safe than sorry. We take every, you know, we'll treat everything the same cause you never know. Today, it's a different world we live in," McDonald said.
McDonald said he hopes that all students know their voice matters-even more than they might think.

The Merrill 12U Little League All-Stars pulled off its third?? win of the District 5 tourney with a 5-4 triumph over Wausau National last Tuesday.
But Antigo exploded on the young squad for a 20-10 victory on Wednesday to win the loser's bracket final and face Rhinelander for the title. The Hodag team rallied from a 13-0 hole to a 18-15 victory to qualify for state.
Merrill finished with a 3-2 record in the tournament.
"They're a great team," Merrill manager Mike Schielke said. "They're easy kids to coach. It makes it easy when they'll do whatever you tell them to do."
Merrill was the rallying team last Tuesday, bouncing back from a 4-0 deficit with a solo run in the 3rd and 4 more in the 4th.
"That was a real exciting game," Schielke said. "At first the kids didn't seem into it. After Wausau put them down, they got a spark going and that spark ignited into a fire. We were down 4-0 after the second inning, but then we didn't give up another run.
"The kids played really well. They all took turns playing good defense and all took turns hitting. It was a good team effort."
Wausau had grabbed a 2-0 edge in the 1st without a hit, then tallied 2 more in the 2nd with a pair of doubles and a single.
Quinn Steckbauer entered with a runner on second and struck out the first batter to end the inning. Only two more Wausau batters would reach second base as he allowed 2 hits, 1 walk and struck out 4 in 4-1/3 innings.
"Quinn did an excellent job," Schielke said. "He kept them off balance and mixed speeds."
An error, Kordell Renken hit and Steckbauer steal of home let Merrill cut it to 4-1 in the 3rd. In the 4th, Kole Meyer and Steckbauer singled, then Hunter Hintze hit an RBI single and Renken followed with a two-run hit. That would prove to be enough.
Renken (3-3, 2 RBI) had the only multi-hit game for Merrill as it collected a half-dozen raps.
Solid start
Renken bashed a two-run homer in the 1st inning of the Antigo game, and Brodey Gehrke's two-run single and an RBI hit from Chase Bonnell gave the locals a quick 5-0 lead.
"In the Antigo game the kids were ready to go from the drop of the hat," Schielke said.
But Antigo immediately answered with a trio of runs, and after holding Merrill scoreless in the 2nd, exploded for 11 runs.
"We had a rough inning on defense, but not wheels-come-off bad," Schielke said. "Normally our defense has been pretty solid.
"The kids kept battling, but you've got to give Antigo credit. They kept putting up hits and we couldn't keep up with them. We have a young team. Antigo is pretty much all 12-year-olds."
Merrill cut it to 14-9 in the 3rd, Steckbauer walking, Hintze getting hit by a pitch and Renken singling drove in consecutive runs.
But Merrill would manage a single run in the 5th while Antigo would tack on 1 in the 3rd, 2 in the 4th and 3 in the 5th.
"I liked it that the kids had a never-say-die attitude," Schielke said. "We just didn't have enough in the tank for Antigo. They were the better team that day. Sometimes when you get to that level of play, that's what you're going to get. Whichever team went to state between Antigo and Rhinelander, they're going to do well. Those are good teams."
Gehrke (2-3), Chase Bonnell (2-3), Renken (2-4, HR, 3 RBI), Hintze (2-4, 2B) and Steckbauer (3 W, 2 R, 2 SB) helped the Merrill offense that had 10 hits.
Bonnell, Zach Mootz and Zach Anderson combined to allow 17 hits, 5 walks and 2 strikeouts.
12U All-Stars finally bumped from District
The Merrill 12U Little League All-Stars pulled off its third?? win of the District 5 tourney with a 5-4 triumph over Wausau National last Tuesday.

I witnessed road rage
The heavy rain had reduced to a drizzle as I was driving back. Just a few kms from home, a guy holding a helmet suddenly ran past my car.
I hit the brakes and followed his path. I assumed he was running to help a guy in an accident as I saw a car parked on the other curb. As you know I don't have a habit of stopping to look at accidents but the guy just ran in front of me, so I had no choice but to stop.
In a flash, I got a shock. The running guy swung the helmet at the guy on the other side. Then I witnessed 3 guys hitting each other, mostly 2 guys hitting one guy with 2 helmets.
I was shocked. What was going on? Cars stood on both sides stunned.
I quickly drove of shaken by the sight.We read in the papers of such incidents. But reading and watching beatings on a movie is different from watching it unfold in front of you. Sure I've seen fights at school but the 3 men had murder etched all over their faces. That was how much fury you could see in their eyes.
I don't know what they were fighting for but it was brutal. What it with rage that turns motorist into potential murderers and brutal abusers?
And then I read this. A five year old!!!!!
It's frightening how easy it is for people to get angry.
Are lives so worthless that people are willing to risk their own, their families, their victims and their families?
Is it really worth it?

i came across similar kinda thing once, i was walking across the parking lot and i could hear a gal crying for help. I was jus frightened to get in to it, it was actually a guy trying to rape her. i called 911 (emergency) but the next day i saw in one of the local newspapers that a gal was raped in a parking which i was talkin abt.
I am really sad that i was helpless.

People might say you could have done more - but i understand being a minority in another country - it sure does feel helpless not really being able to do anything - the thing is it isnt even safe to help anymore.
Don't worry you did all you could in your position.

Definitely it's not worth it to get into a road rage.
I get pissed off with other driver, the max I have done is show my finger and move on (he showed his finger first). Unfortunately some people don't seem to know how to control their anger, that's when the problem starts.

Verbal abuse isn't a problem no one gets hurt, no one related to you gets hurt. Physical brutality causes grieve to both the victim and close ones. The thing is number of uncontrolable anger gets higher day by day. Quite sad and scary.

How crowded are the roads over there?

Roads aren't crowded here. No human traffic but at peak hours you have automobile traffic. That day there was only one car waiting at the curb. The other guy ran from the other side.

Hello guys. Your post here caught my attention for the very fact that I myself nearly ended up in a road rage incident. This was about 1 pm ++ and driving towards Bandar Sri Damansara when this white proton with 2 occupants, were speeding and came very close to the back of my car. I wasn't driving any slower then the car in front and I don't see the reason why they were so agitated. After the toll, they came close to my car, and in fact followed and slowed down, honking for me to stop.
Is it really worth the trouble, physically and legally, to even entertain this jokers? I mean all of us lead a certain comfortable life, with families and friends whom we love. For me, it's just ain't worth the trouble to get my hands 'dirty' with these guys, so ignoring them, I just continued on my way.
My question is, how long can we just ignore these kind of people? We are human too, and I know taking the law into our own hands is totally asking for trouble. *Sigh* ... What to do huh?
You guys have a nice day though :-)

To play, just leave a comment that uses the current Word of the Week. It can be a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph, or even a novella, but keep in mind that I've read HAMLET and am a firm believer in the idea that brevity is the soul of wit (which, as we all know, is one of the few worthwhile things Polonius ever said).
Now your comment shouldn't necessarily define the Word; rather, it should use the Word in a creative way. So if the Word were penny loafers (not actually a word, of course, but you get the idea), I might submit the comment, "Bill, your penny loafers are showing," or even, "As she dumped her pocket change into Jerald and Josephina's chubby palms, Liza mumbled under her breath, 'Here's your stupid penny, loafers.'" But then, the real Word of the Week isn't likely to be so mundane. Or recognizable:)
And now for the game's two rules, one of which I care about and the other of which just seemed like a good idea (I'll let you decide which is which): You may submit only one entry, and you may NOT look up the Word's actual definition. Now I realize I can't really police that second rule, but the game will be much more fun, and funnier, if everyone plays along.
On Friday, I'll reveal the Word's definition and award however many points I feel like awarding. And the winner/winners will receive fame and glory immemorial, or at least until we play again.
You got that? You ready to play? All right, here's the inaugural Word of the Week, which is a noun: kris.
Happy commenting.
