It's going to breezy today with the wind coming out of the East at 25 km/h and gusts up to and above 40 km/h. During the day the likelihood of rain is between 30 and 40 percent, but as the evening approaches it increases to 90 percent. Today is also going to be in the teens with a morning temperature of plus 15 and a daytime high of plus 18. By the evening the temperature will drop just a few degrees to plus 15. So take your umbrella out with you, since it is better to play it safe.

A just overall excellent experience. Kris the owner was very professional and courteous. He took time to go over all the details of the construction process and he always kept me well informed. He built me a beautiful pool that I enjoy everyday.

My name is David Levi...I run Levi and Sons Fine Jewelers along with Versailles Fine Jewelers. I have a location in the Parkway Plaza mall and my other locations are in the Fashion Valley Mall along with Horton Plaza.
A few years ago after the Cedar fires, I ended up recreating a lot of jewelry that was lost in the fires. We have a large customer base that I am sure is affected by the recent fires in Ramona and surrounding areas of San Diego County. I would love to extend myself out to the victims who have lost their jewelry and try to help them out in replacing it. I would want to work very close to my cost in helping the community out and think it would be a good idea if you'd want to help me get the word out. I only want to do this because it is one way I know my business can help the community out.
I remember a lady coming to see me a few years ago and all she had was a wedding picture of her wedding ring that was lost in the Cedar fires and I had to recreate the ring using CAD/CAM technology. I can create a wax mold of the original ring, then cast it, and set any stones.

Hi Nice Blog .very possible Jewelers Point choice is available and their customers don't have to shop anywhere else. In addition, they are placing a greater emphasis on training their employees than they have in the past. The days of receiving second rate advice and service at national chain stores are becoming a thing of the past.

Holiday Card Etiquette
12 comments:
- mom2boy said...
Ha. Now I know. :)
I was just trying to decide if we were sending out cards this year. Definitely too late for the cute kid card. I've been known to not get them out until they'd arrive after the holiday. Is like nails on a chalk board to read?? (omg - I lost my phone on sat and hadn't backed up a month's worth of photos aaaaaaaah).
- November 16, 2011 at 2:42 PM
- Anandi said...
@mom2boy - make them Happy New Year cards and you've got more time.
I use a photo taken through the year - I don't fuss with special "holiday card" photos.
Unlike Hush, I *do* like to see the whole family, because I don't see my faraway friends that often and honestly, I'm friends with them and not their kids :)
The etiquette bit is fascinating - thanks for the PSA. Why is the informal wife-first, but formal man-first? How odd. I always sign wife-first since I'm writing out those damn cards :D
When addressing, I just use "The ___ Family". I'm sure I'm doing it all wrong, but I'll hyphenate if the hubby and wife have different last names.
And I post our holiday letter on my blog and try not to make it too annoying. But we really are happy, overall :)
And sorry about your heavy news. I feel the same way right now - got two friends in similar situations as yours, lots of people talking about Penn State, etc.

virtual hugs to you. It is hard to deal with bad news :(
we've never done the x-mas cards. bad, I know :)
thank you for the lesson in etiquette :)
hope you feel better soon.

@mom2boy - My sympathies on the lost phone and picts! Worst nightmare.
Nope, late cards actually don't bug me. I'm inconsistent like that. ;) I'm with @Anandi on the make it a New Year's card idea, and you're set. I hope you manage to send some "cute kid" cards out - so sweet!
@Anandi - "Why is the informal wife-first, but formal man-first? How odd." I'm told it has to do with an old (English?) preference for not separating a man's name. In both the correct informal form: "Woman and Man Smith" as well as in the formal form "Mr. and Mrs. Man Smith" the man's name is kept together. Unofficially, my southern grandmother taught me from a young age that this is The Way It Is Done, Sugar.
@NK - Thanks. I bet with your design skillz you could put together a beautiful card featuring Baby C - maybe someday?

A'ight, since you ask, here are my holiday card preferences.
I prefer no photo. Call me weird, cold, Luddite, whatever, but I like a beautiful piece of art, no matter how traditional (Santa, fireplace, whatever) or unconventional.
I really really like handmade cards. No, I don't expect other people to do that, even though I muster up the organization to do it once every 4 years or so. Just recently I made some Christmas party invitations. Ivory paper, two kinds of snowflakes I glued on, silver foil trees I glued on, and a touch of sparkly white glitter.
I did use a photo one year, but it was of our snowy woods with our black cat facing away from the camera off to the right of the shot.
Oh my god, I just made this all about how fabulous I think my cards are. Sorry, maybe that's my vanity instead of taking a picture of myself. I hate myself in all pictures anyway. Oh, and I only write a simple greeting, no annual "we rock" letter.
I have a different last name than DH and DD, so yeah, I dislike being wrongly named. I write the names separately on their own line, woman first if straight couple, my friend first if gay couple.
Sigh, now I want to send cards. Will I find the time? I have to take into consideration that most of them are going overseas, and that can take a few weeks.
- November 17, 2011 at 12:10 AM
I don't write cards, but this seems to be yet another custom I have inherited from my adopted home country. I do receive the occasion one from friends that have not been offended by my tradition of not sending. I like receiving photos in general so am happy with a card with the whole family onit even if I do find it a bit schmulzy.
Re. naming etiquette, once (not kong ago) my SIL actually sent us a card with Family M.............. on it. Found that bizzar seeing we are actually Family C........ Sure I am Ms. P. M............., but the rest of them aint. You' d think she could have actulally rung up my mum to find out our correct name.
- November 17, 2011 at 6:48 AM
Well....I've already missed my self-imposed Xmas card photo deadline. I just take pictures of DS at home or outside with a few simple props (pinecone etc.) and the pets if they're cooperative, and then do my own cards.
I'm still planning to do it for this year. Won't get to take the photos until 2 weekends from now, but I'll find a way to squeeze them out. And as usual, I'll have the handful that I never get around to mailing because I don't have full addresses.
Regarding ettiquette, good to know what the 'rules' are. I genererally address them in the order that @Anandi says. For the outside of the envelope, when there are families with different last names, I'll generally write the two adults names '+ family' and then address the kids on the inside. Where we live many couples do not marry and even if they do, the woman keeps her maiden name (changing it to the man's is the exception and you have to do extra paperwork/pay a fee to do it). This means that I never know what last name the kids have (his?hers? both?), so I leave it off. Amazingly I don't know the last names of many of the kids of our good friends.
- November 17, 2011 at 7:33 PM
Oh, and lastly, but not least, sorry to hear about all the heavy stuff going on right now. It sounds like our situation last year at the same time. Hope you find moments of hope and brightness in the coming weeks.

I figured out the New Year's card trick a few years ago and I LOVE it. Who needs another task in the weeks before Christmas? And the week before New Year's has those weird blank spots where you still feel festive but mostly the festivities are over. Writing cards is the perfect low-stress activity.
AND (now, I'm sure Miss Manners would not approve of this – and I know my mother wouldn't, but…) you can write thank you notes on the cards and make them do double duty.

I'm sorry you've got so much heavy stuff right now.
We do holiday cards with a picture of all of us- low key, though. We put on red or green shirts and the santa hats we've somehow acquired and get my sister to take a picture.
I actually like getting the newsletters, even from non-family. Actually, especially from non-family. I don't do Facebook so this is how I hear what's been going on.
I try to use correct names when I address the cards, but I don't mind that much when the cards come to the [Hubby's lastname] family, even though I didn't change my name.
We do the Christmas cards together, over beers. It is quite possible that some of the ones at the end get some strange messages written in them....

- hush said...
We got our first 2011 Xmas card in the mail the day after Thanksgiving, postmarked 11/23. That's too soon methinks. I'm still digesting my turkey. But at least they got the names right on all counts. Woot!
@Claudia - Beautiful handmade cards are a DO in my book. Sadly, I lack the skillz to create such wonders myself, but I love getting those lovely cards, too.
@Paola - Yikes, your SIL ought to know your Actual Names by now!
@the milliner - Thanks for the well wishes, and I hope this year is better for you than this time last year was.
@Maria - The New Year's card trick sounds like a winner. These days, any written thank you note seems like it is the exception, so 'double duty' or not, that's a good thing IMHO. ;)
@Cloud - I love that you and your DH do cards together, over beers, and perhaps write strange messages in them = awesome!

Infrastructure of Delhi ???
Picked up something to eat in CP (a nice restaurant called Banana Leaf) and reached home. Wonders of wonders, the electricity was at such low voltage that only CFL's could work, tube lights refused to work, and so did most of the appliances. After around 30 minutes of this, the low power went off totally and am now posting this due to the inverter helping out. And the power situation in Delhi remains bad as ever.
So set me to wondering, the Govt seems to have priority over whether to reserve, whether to seal, whether to allow export of iron ore, whether to set up SEZ's, etc. Where is the basic question of infrastructure ? Some time back the Govt was asked by the High Court to explain the power situation, and the Delhi Govt essentially told the court that people have to grin and bear it. They apparently did not estimate that power need will go up so much. I wonder how more defective the Govt can be, when it is not able to estimate basic necessities and provide for these. It will allow free power to farmers so that they can wreck the water table, but will not allow state electricity boards to become solvent and clear up their accounts. And it will certainly not care that you (industry, farmers, consumers) have enough power for your needs.

NB: an interesting essay, although only the Judeo-Christian tradition is under consideration. Pagan religiosity would have given us more material to think about. Here too, it would have been more complete had the author taken up Hegel's understanding of Christianity as the unhappy consciousness, a precursor of Marx and Nietzsche's critique of religion. DS
In the contemporary theological and political order, the Frankfurt school of critical theory receives scant attention. This is unfortunate as it provides useful tools for the critique of religion and a useful framework to explore the possible dynamics between religious and so-called progressive social movements. Since the 1960s the school, or the institute as it is sometimes referred, has taken a turn toward issues of language and culture, most notably in the work of Jürgen Habermas. In its most prolific phase, from the 1930s to the 1950s, the school consisted mainly of dissident Marxists who believed that orthodox Marxist theory could not adequately explain the turbulent development of capitalist societies in the twentieth century, particularly with regard to the rise of fascism as a working-class movement.
This led many of these dissident Marxists to take up the task of reappropriating Marxism in light of conditions that Karl Marx himself had never considered. The school has a clear genealogy, appropriating elements of Marxist materialism, Hegelian philosophy, German idealism, Gestalt psychology, and atheistic Jewish Messianism. This synthesized analysis gave expression to a transdisciplinary, anticapitalist intellectual tradition with both immanent (material) and transcendent (metaphysical or spiritual) themes.
In this essay I focus on the literature of the Frankfurt school, with attention to Marx and the neo-Marxist scholars Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, and Ernst Block. Through a theological examination of these contributors, I will show that religion and Marxism are not antithetical but that both draw upon a common ground in the struggle against totalizing forms of capitalist power which leave the vast majority of the world's population in misery. Both Marxism and Christianity have at their center a prophetic messianism, which is the belief in social transformation through action or event. Both share a belief in an alternative future whereby every tear will be wiped away and justice and equality will be achieved. By bringing the two together, I suggest that they may collaborate in serving those who experience the tyranny of advanced capitalist most severely.
Marx: A Re-examination of the Opium of the People
Orthodox Marxists have tended to dismiss religion, extracting a militant atheism from Marx's writing. In contrast, a number of commentators have located Marx within a messianic tradition or within the utopian projects associated with the Judeo-Christian West. Such writers tend to be drawn to the dense and varied set of references and allusions to religious texts in Marx's writings. Sympathetic Christian scholars have tended to soften Marx's critique of religion by acknowledging his rejection of Christianity as an assault on the fetishism of religion and its use by elites rather than religion itself.
The premise of a Marxian analysis of religion is the oft-quoted "opium of the people." However, what does it mean to equate opium with religion? A popularist reading drifts toward literalism, whereby opium is the drug that numbs pain, distorts reality, and provides an artificial source of solace. In that sense, one may conclude that religion functions as a panacea, an alter-reality construed by ruling elites to dull the people's critical and revolutionary capacity. But such a reading is inconsistent with Marx's intent. As the sociologist Andrew McKinnon suggests, this interpretation of the metaphor is inaccurate, missing the different and contradictory ways in which opium was understood in the nineteenth century. A historical analysis thus encourages us to "encounter the text dialectically, including the dialectic text that is the heart and spirit of Marx's analysis of religion."
McKinnon argues that in the middle of the nineteenth century opium was largely used medicinally by Europeans and was considered an unquestioned good. Toward the end of the century, its medicinal use had been largely supplanted by other medicines, and it was becoming increasingly demonized by moral puritans. Furthermore, its use was becoming increasingly "luxurious" and commodified (and therefore profitable). Opposition to opium grew, especially from the "public health" and "temperance" movements. It was between these two eras that Marx penned opium as his metaphor for religion, a usage that McKinnon describes as "an ambiguous, multi-dimensional, and contradictory metaphor, expressing both the earlier and later understandings of the fruit of the poppy." Several connotations, then, would have been relevant at the time: medicine, a source of profit, and a source of utopian vision. For the purposes of this essay, the image of religion as a utopian vision is of particular interest.
Marx's critique of religion owes an intellectual debt to Ludwig Feuerbach, yet his conclusions are very different... read more:

Footy tipping bragging rights now up for grabs
FANCY yourself as a footy tipping legend? Don't just brag about your prowess - prove it!
The Gympie Times is bringing back its footy tipping competition in 2013 in an exciting streamlined online version.

"The Gympie Times will be providing internet access for anyone who doesn't have it at home so they can still lodge their weekly tips," he said.
"I'm also available to help people with registration or any other concerns or questions they may have to make it as easy as possible."

riding with pops
On Saturday my father's stock car race was rained out so I took the opportunity to sneak a mountain bike ride in. Marcy and I loaded up the fam and headed to my parents house so that I could ride on the park trails that are behind my parents place and so that Chance could run and pee with Pete, my parents dog. As I was getting ready to go I was suprised when my dad said that he wanted to go to. Little background here, my father just got a real mountain bike last summer. This is the first bike that he's owned since he was knee high to a grass hopper. Since getting the bike he has been getting out for a grand total of about 4-5 times a summer. For these reasons I was very suprised when he expressed interest in going. We live in the northeast and we have been getting buckets of rain recently so the trails (actually old dirt roads) were bound to be very wet and it was actually raining when we were getting ready. None the less he seemed excited to go so I was happy to oblidge. I obviously can't ride as fast as usual when he comes but thats ok cause I find bike rides a good way to catch up and enjoy each others company without one of us feeling the need to carry the conversation. Anyway, we got out for a very wet but not so muddy 1:15, chatted a bit and got some exercise. It was a good time and hopefully we'll get a chance to go out again before the snow falls.

2 Samuel 5:1-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
David Reigns over All Israel
5 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, "Indeed we are your bone and your flesh. 2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the Lord said to you, 'You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over Israel.' " 3 Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel. 4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
The Conquest of Jerusalem
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, "You shall not come in here; but the blind and the lame will repel you," thinking, "David cannot come in here." 7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).
8 Now David said on that day, "Whoever climbs up by way of the water shaft and defeats the Jebusites (the lame and the blind, who are hated by David's soul), he shall be chief and captain." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame shall not come into the house."
9 Then David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And David built all around from [a]the Millo and inward. 10 So David went on and became great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.

The Fixx - Reach the Beach
The Fixx had long been on my radar as one of those bands who had some radio songs I've loved for as long as I can remember. I'm talking back to about the time One Thing Leads to Another and Saved By Zero were current, chart-topping singles circa 1983. I know, I was born in '76 so I would have been seven at the time. I used to sleep with a little transistor radio and those two Fixx songs along with The Clash's Rock the Casbah, John Cougar Heartattack's Jack and Dianne and all things Huey Lewis stick out in my memory (not a JCM fan, but that song holds an intrinsic nostalgic value because of that). Anyway, a couple years ago I found the album those Fixx songs are on - Reach the Beach - on vinyl at a thrift store. I bought it and it has grown in favor ever since. I've come to love the entire record, the title track above is one of my absolute favs though. There's something very John Carpenter about it.
And I've gotta say, I'm a Ti West fan as is and after waiting something like three years for his masterful House of the Devil I was not disappointed. And the thing that really just added an extra layer of pleasure in watching it the first time was the unexpected use of One Thing Leads to Another. Awesome as always Mr. West!!!

Today is day 300...how crazy. Which means 65 for days left! that's insane.
I spent today hiking & lunch with melissa then I got home, picked up subway and headed over to Kevins for a surprise picnic at the beach :) It was cute, I liked it. We found this pile of rocks that we sat in, while watching surfers, the different colors in the sky and having nice conversation. We stayed for the sunset and then the stars are really dominant down there so we looked at them for a while but it was SO cold, so then we left.
It was a good day =)

Kicks Off New Year With Fundraising Campaign Through March for Cheyanna's Champions for Children in Austin, TX and Brokers for Kids/Agents Benefiting Children in Phoenix, AZ
Kicks Off New Year With Fundraising Campaign Through March for Cheyanna's Champions for Children in Austin, TX and Brokers for Kids/Agents Benefiting Children in Phoenix, AZ
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2016) - Z'Tejas Southwestern Grill's new corporate giving program, Cornbread for A Cause, launched in December raised a total of $37,893 for Phoenix Children's Hospital Foundation and Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas. Funds were raised from sales of Z'Tejas famous cornbread in December. PCHF will receive $23,772 from Z'Tejas five Phoenix, AZ locations and $14,121 from three Austin, TX, locations.
"We are extremely grateful and humbled by all the support and positive response from our guests with the first Z'Tejas Cornbread for A Cause fundraising program this December," said Gary Manley, General Partner at Z'Tejas. "Dell Children's and Phoenix Children's are two organizations that are making a positive impact in our community and we are proud to have them as beneficiaries for our first Cornbread for A Cause."
Right on the heels of a successful debut to raise funds for charities, Z'Tejas Cornbread for A Cause continues in its mission by raising funds for Brokers for Kids/Agents Benefiting Children and Cheyanna's Champions 4 Children (CC4C) through proceeds from cornbread sales at their Phoenix and Austin locations respectively. Z'Tejas famous cornbread is freshly-made and priced at $3 per order.
Brokers for Kids/Agents Benefiting Children is a year-long fundraising effort by commercial and residential real estate professionals throughout the Phoenix Valley. Funds raised throughout the year goes to Scottsdale Active 20-30 Club, a nonprofit established by young professionals whose mission is to help underserved children in the community.
CC4C is the only charitable organization in Texas to bring hope, help, and inspiration to families of children suffering from rare or undiagnosed medical conditions. Funds raised help cover medical costs not covered by insurance. CC4C uses their financial resources to help reduce time to diagnosis. Children are also matched with a Champion Teammate (celebrity or world-class athlete) and high school sports teams to help empower them with visions of their recovery finish lines, while providing unforgettable and unique experiences for the child that would otherwise be impossible.
"We are excited to start 2016 by partnering with Brokers for Kids/Agents Benefiting Children and CC4C. Two charities that are making a big difference for children in need of medical and financial assistance in our community," added Manley.

The Lord has some BIG plans for this area! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! I thought I would start off this letter with some inspiration from my little sister Mackenzie!!! "the greatest treasure is the wisdom of God...But even the greatest treasure can be worth nothing if not used in the right way or kept to yourself. Share the gospel, with others and you will unlock the wealth of the greatest treasure, of all the treasure in the world." How true is that! Man my little sister is so in tune with the spirit! This is why it says in the scriptures to become like a little child :meek, submissive and humble! I have learned that humility is EVERYTHING!!!! Just like when Jesus said during his last supper that someone would betray him and his Apostles didn't accuse each other, they looked into their own hearts and asked "Lord is it I?" That phrase has become such a part of my life recently! I have learned that we can receive guidance and council the greatest when we put others first and listen to others. Most of my learning and answers have come from other people. That is the way the Lord talks to me and I have to be humble enough to take it, apply it, and learn from it, which in turn is the hardest thing for me to do. But through my mission and my companionships I have learned really well that if I want to let my mission change me I HAVE to learn from others and really become the missionary and person God wants me to become!
I have to be honest - Monday was really hard for me I got very truncky and wanted to just stay home in my pjs! But we went out and I said a prayer to help me get the desire to do His work. Man do prayers get answered!!!! That night we had a great dinner with some less actives that were invited to a ward missionarie's house and then we saw Samuel the Investigator that we sent off to the Elders for the Young Singles Adult Ward. We shared Nephis 'I will go and do' verse and explained that just like his journey that he told us about, the Lord wants him to go and do the things that he has commanded. We invited him to call up the Elders for some yard work and a lesson and to keep praying and reading the scriptures and answers will come! So he did! They hadn't had a lesson with him for a while now so that was one answer to a prayer! On Mondays we usually don't teach any lessons but we started off this week with 3 lessons taught!
Tuesday was just as great! Got to teach Pam, who is such a sweet English woman who has a ton of questions and is really taking everything in and trying to understand! Our last lesson with Alex before she moves down to Logan and gets baptized down there! Super sad thing not to be able to be there for her baptism but it will happen and she will thrive down in Logan! We met a girl named Meredith, who we will have to send as a referral to the Elders once we figure out if she is really interested and wants to learn, She goes to a "fellowship" church right now that talks a bit about Christ but mainly is a social thing and she said that she will have to find a new church soon. She did say that our church has the things for every stage of life which is very true and that we have the best LOOKEN Jesus in our movies! hahahaha The things we girls talk about! hahahahaha Some of her family is LDS and she has the flu so she invited us back in a week or so. Then we taught The the Plan of Salvation which went great but he brought up the fact that his wife who is in the UK isn't LDS and if he wants a forever family she needs to be...there are something's for him to think about for sure.
We have had some over all GREAT SPIRITUAL lessons this week! We went on Splits with the ward missionaries and I went with Sister Lewis and we went to a guy's house that she was his mom's hair dresser. He opened up and was ready to shut the door in our face till she brought up his mom and his family. If it wasn't for her there is NO WAY we would have been able to talk to him and have such a great emotional experience. He even asked us how he would ask God why certain things happened to him when he was a kid....and we just said to ask and ask what he was supposed to learn from it but not to let that get in the way of his progress to become like his Savior and his testimony. Really cool experiences happen all the time! We had three visits like this where we would read a scripture finish and then the member or investigator would realize what they needed to learn that day! I love when people say that it was the perfect timing and perfect lesson to learn for that day that they needed that because of what was happening in their life! It just goes to show that Heavenly Father knows EXACTLY what you need EXACTLY when you need it and that He knows you better than you know yourself!
Shout out to Sister Tolmon real fast or mom knows her as Hannah she took us to dinner the night she was leaving on a big trip to Texas and took us to this famous restaurant in Boise its called Tusconos! Super delicious Dad! You would love this place! They come around with Meat of all sorts on big metal cabob things hahaha can't figure out the word for them! And they just give you as much as you want and they just keep everything rotating till you say stop! I havn't had so much meat in my life!!!! Well they have this delicacy called chicken heart that they bring around and man are they tiny and they keep bringing it around and Sister Schulte had one!!!!! You have to realize that she had been vegetarian for about 2 years a couple of years ago so this is a big thing and later that night I realized that she had two hearts in her!!!! We busted up laughing the rest of the way home!!!!!!!!
We have been going around the ward getting to know and meeting people and its crazy how many people don't understand what the Gospel is and what we believe even as members! I wish we could sit down with each of them and have a very layed back conversation and try to help them understand many misconceptions. We had dinner with one of the people that I have been talking about and it was a really good time! It was so nice to be able to talk with them and answer some of their questions when they got comfortable enough with us! I wish I could do that with everyone! The wife of the member makes wedding dresses and all other types of dresses too and she never had one class! She taught herself everything! Talk about talent so me being me we talked about that a bit too! hahahaha
I love having two sacraments to go to on Sunday! It's a long day tho, 6 hours of church, but totally worth it! Dinner got canceled so we took that opportunity to take a Sunday nap which has been missed soooo much!!!! It was super nice! We were finally able to contact a referral from the Elders for Bodour and she said to call her on Friday to set something up and that she really needed to talk with us but she was taking an exam! She has 2 super cute kids so we are super excited about this opportunity to get to know her and teach her about the Gospel! Our lesson with Cynthia went really well but she is still super scared to ask her dad for permission to get baptized she just doesn't want to disappoint her dad. That is one of the hardest things about life I think - Wanting to be happy and do things that will bring that happiness and in turn disappoint the people we love the most....
I want you all to know that I know the church is true and that President Monson has been called of God to lead and guide the church, yes he is just like us and ordinary man with a very extraordinary calling and responsibility to stay as close as humanly possible to Heavenly Father to receive that revelation through the Priesthood which he holds for the whole earth!
So give this little story some thought....
So a man dies and he goes to the judgment seat and the man there asks hi what he knows about Jesus Christ ,
So he starts to tell him that He was born of a virgin taught many lived in Egypt
then the man says okay tell me more
He goes on to tell him that He feed the hungry, rose Lazereth from the dead, healed the blind
Well done says the man is there any more?
He died for us on Calvary and rose 3 days later.
That's great! You can go now, says the man.
The next person who died comes in and the man asks tell me what you know about Jesus Christ and the person looks up then falls on his knees and says MASTER!!!!
Do we really know our Savior Jesus Christ?
I love you all so much and want you to know that I have a relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ and am learning everyday more about Him and His infinite Atonement! Have a fantastic week all!!!!!
<3 Sister Ashley Clawson
<3 Sister Ashley Clawson
Like my friend? he thinks hes cool!!!! #tracting
Look closely at the house window behind us!!!! CREEPY!!!!!!!!
"work work work there is no satisfactory substitute especially in missionary work!"
worked so hard I busted my Zipper we laughed SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO hard!!!!!!!
Tacnonos yum!!!!!

I drove down to school today to have one last lesson with my teacher before my first audition on Saturday. It was helpful, and simultaneously calming and incredibly stressful. I know what I need to work on polishing (basically, being polished, that is making sure my phrasing and direction and connections come out, and, as always, fingers in the etude), which is nice, and I'm feeling fairly prepared. I was especially pleased with my Mozart quartet today. This is partially because I have huge tonguing issues, and I've discovered the magical way to tongue all of the sixteenth-note passages in the piece. I've been doing them slur two-tongue two, and I've discovered that if I do that but play the first beat eighth-slur two rather than eighth-tongue two, it's much much easier. I was also fairly pleased with my Poulenc and my Beethoven 3 excerpt, and considerably less pleased with my etude and Tombeau. My teacher and I decided that I should plan on still practicing Tombeau but on playing "Ich habe genug" instead of it unless I'm asked for a fast excerpt, since I'm showing off my technique in the etude and Mozart. I'm actually more comfortable with this, though I'm frustrated by my inability to play Tombeau when in the presence of any other person. Still, I sound very nice on the Bach, so it's a good trade off.
However, I'm really disappointed with how unfocused and undisciplined I've been over break. My fear of embarrassing myself at auditions is just stress, but I know that I'm not at the top of my game, and had I spent the past month at home in C'ville, I would be. So I'm frustrated that I couldn't manage to get my act together recently- the fact that it happens to a lot of people when they're on break is no excuse. A lot of people don't have very important auditions coming up. Anyways, I spent the whole trip down incredibly stressed out, which at least will cause me to practice like mad for the next four days + Friday morning.
The sudden intensification of my stress is at the very least a reminder of how very much I do want this, by which I mean going to grad school for performance. The past week or so I've been longing after musicology grad school, for several reasons. I do really like music history and researching and writing analysis. My teachers think I write and analyze very well (I may have mentioned Professor Will's opinion about what I should be doing in grad school before). (Nearly) every musician I've ever talked to has told me "if there's something other than performance that you can do, do it." I could probably get in a better school, and get more money. I could still gig and play oboe. These combined make a pretty strong pull. I mentioned this to my mother, who thinks I'm just worried I won't get in anywhere for performance, and my friends, who were very helpful and supportive. Basically, I have not suddenly decided that I don't want to go to school for performance. Thus, I will still practice my ass off for auditions. When decision-making time comes, and I know what my options are, I can a) go to grad school for performance, b) go to school for performance and take additional classes to keep my options open, c) go to school for performance for a year and transfer, or d) take a year off and practice, gig, and work, and apply for grad school in musicology the final year. So I have many options, and need not be stressed about this. I'm grateful for that, because, as I mentioned, my audition freak-out is in full swing. Still, as I also said, it's a nice reminder just how much performance means to me. Because it really is still my first choice for What I Do With My Life. It's just...not the most practical of the options.
I continue to have strange reeds, but I have enough good ones (and will continue making reeds this week) to feel secure about playing my audition. The one problem with my reed-making is that I have suddenly begun to make reeds with very long and sloppy tips, with bad definition from the heart. I haven't figured out why this has suddenly started happening, because I have not consciously changed anything recently about my style of reeds. However, my results are consistent enough that it's not a fluke. Well, perhaps when I get back to C'ville my reeds will spontaneously revert to their usual form.
A very cool website which my friend found: Musipedia. It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like, an encyclopedia of music. However, unlike, say, New Grove, it's an encyclopedia not of music history or theory or such, but of actual pieces and themes within pieces. You can search by keyword of course, but you can also search by melody (intervals and relative rhythm count, but not specific pitch or rhythm), contour, and rhythm. I had a little trouble finding results when I tested it with known pieces, but it's a pretty nifty resource. Classical, folk, and pop music are all included, and if they don't have a song you're looking for, you can add it. Once you find a piece, Musipedia provides sheet music and a recording of the theme, as well as links to a websearch, details including the Parsons code (melodic contour), and Amazon and Sheet Music Plus if applicable.

And while I'm letting this one slowly come together, I've chosen the drawing I want to begin Myrna Wacknov's challenge with. I drew something last night but it was cheesy. This morning I knew which one I wanted to start with - this drawing from a live figure class I took. Myrna's challenge is to begin with a drawing from a photo or life...then draw using that drawing as reference, nothing else...and continue this process through several mutations. Who knows what you'll come up with in the end? Check out her blog to see what she is working on and what she ends up with after - did she say 50?? - drawings from drawings.
Here's my first drawing which I will use as the base for the next one. I'm not giving myself a deadline for this - just drawing from the previous drawing until I'm exhausted with it.
If you think this is crazy, just see what you can do with this kind of challenge - go over to Lisa Walsh's blog and see her bears (and congratulate her on her 100th post). Lisa is creating some wonderful things by just using different mediums and supports and thinking and talking about color, value, etc.

I really miss my buddies who went out of the country!Jun Hin went to Singapore to work for 1 month!Shurong went to Sabah for NS!And also Everyone who is starting college soon or already started college!T_T.Please come back soon!And I bet Shurong is gonna bring back a very special girl!XD
Anyway,I'm just waiting for the letter to know whether I will be chosen for Form6...I ain't gonna go to college cause my parents can't afford it and the colleges don't have courses that trains to you to become lecturers or language majors.The thing is I don't know which school to go!
-SMK Seri Sentosa?
I have been talking with my parents and my aunts a lot on what to do after SPM,I have heard their experience and I finally decided to become a Japanese language Major or a lecturer!
So in order to do that,I have to complete Form6 and go to university and go pursue languages!^_^.Since its not popular in Malaysia so not many colleges are offering that course and only local and some private universities have that course!
And I went to the Education Fair in Mid Valley but none of the courses offered there seems to impress me.In the end I have only wasted their paper!XD

Strange Brews: What's in your beer?
In a world where brewers are experimenting with a variety of ingredients to come out with innovative flavours, some rather outrageous ingredients are being used to produce…well, some strange brews.
Wynkoop Brewing Company, based in Denver, makes Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout, which is made using 11kgs of bull testicles (also called Rocky Mountain Oysters) sliced then roasted before being added to the beer's mash. The beer is an assertive foreign-style stout, slightly viscous, with a deep brown colour…Thirsty yet?
Speaking of oysters, these ones are considerably smaller…Porterhouse Brewing Company shucks fresh oysters into the conditioning tank during the brewing process, giving its Oyster Stout extra sweetness. The beer is described as a "superbly balanced brew, smooth and rounded without being bland and "not suitable for vegetarians"!!
Squid Ink
Wrapping off the list is the strangest: Wisconsin's 3 Sheeps Nimble Lips IPA with Squid Ink. Apparently, squid ink darkens the beer and actually enhances the hop profile, along with contributing a slight briny character. Yummy!
Remember brewers are partly mad scientist and partly artists and they are capable of constantly pushing the drinker's palates. Since the only necessary ingredients in beer are water, yeast, barley and hops any additional and unusual ingredients can give "innovation" a whole new meaning.
We'd like to hear about your most unusual beer encounters and we will publish the top five in our next newsletter! Drop us an email at email@example.com.

You have yer pick of all manner of awful stuff in yesterday's broadcast of Democracy Now!, it seems. I'm going to watch it while I try to put together some lunch here in my postage stamp.
Bought one of those prepaid cell phones yesterday and I guess I only have it half working... so I'm also trying to program this sucker to function for me. Sat next to my snoring dad all morning. Scary apnea thing, and he was completely out of it the whole time, so I just sat there and tried to read the instructions for the itty bitty cell phone thing to the beat of his outrageously dysrhythmic inhalations... and the cacophony of aides and senile deaf people out in the hall. Lovely, I know. Makes me glad my father is sleeping through most of it.....

Report: US Drone Attacks Killed 123 Civilians in JanuaryReplyDelete
In other news from Pakistan, the US is being accused of killing dozens of civilians in a record twelve drone attacks last month. The Pakistani newspaper The News is reporting the US botched ten of the attacks, killing 123 civilians and just three al-Qaeda leaders—a ratio of forty-one to one.
But, but they hate us for our freedom!
I'm just going to have to go with the word that popped into my head, even if it's completely unladylike....ReplyDelete

Deuteronomy 26:4-10, Romans 10:8-13, Psalm 91:1-2, 10-15,
Luke 4:1-13
Deuteronomy 26:4-10
My Beloved, during the Offertory at the celebration of each Holy Mass I will offer You my heart filled with thanksgiving and gratitude for Your everlasting mercy towards me. You drew me from darkness into Your own marvelous light. You grafted me to Your Body, You invite me to come and drink the living water that flows out from You, You give me Yourself in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist as nourishment for my soul. You have saved my soul and my life in return my Beloved I give You myself – an imperfect exchange Lord but that's all I have to give in return for the fullness of Your Life and Love for me.
Romans 10:8-13
The word is near you,
in your mouth and in your heart.
in your mouth and in your heart.
How blessed I am my Beloved that the Eternal Word of God abides in my heart and is in my mouth as well when I receive You in the Holy Eucharist. There is no intimacy greater than this my Lord that You who are God from eternity choose to remain near me. I am saved because I believe in You and in the One who sent You. You have given me Your Name the Name given to You by Your Father. I am justified and saved through the power of Your Name and not just me my Lord but all who believe in You are saved.
Psalm 91:1-2, 10-15
My Beloved Lord, I claim every one of these promises. I know them to be true for I have experience Your never failing care and love from the moment I was conceived in my mother's womb. You have lifted me up and carefully placed me in Your Sacred Heart. You are my refuge and fortress no harm shall come to me no evil shall dare to approach me. No affliction shall strike me and mine for You have commanded angels to guard us and to hold us up lest we stumble. I cling to You my Beloved and the greater the trouble that surrounds me the more shall I cling to You and You will deliver me from my fears. As long as I have life You will remain with me. You will answer me each time I call. When I am in distress You will comfort me and when my life here is over You will take me home to Your Kingdom there to glorify You eternally. What a glorious destiny is mine. Thank You!
Luke 4:1-13
My Beloved being filled with the Holy Spirit is not enough we must yield to Him always and allow Him to guide us, inspire us, and lead us wherever He wills. The Devil is a liar and the father of lies. He lied to You in every instance quoting Scripture out of context which is always a pretext. But You rebutted him with Scripture as well in this way You teach us too that Scripture can be misused by those with evil intent and unless we are familiar with the Word of God we will be led astray with half-truths.
The Devil tempted you with the desire of the flesh, the desire for wealth and the desire for power – the temptations that we face all our lives and which we must battle against constantly. We can overcome these temptations by revealed truth. To the temptation to fill the stomach You remind us that we do not live on bread alone. To the temptation of having power and being held in esteem by the world if we exchange the worship of God for the worship of mammon You say that worship belongs to God alone and Him it is that we must serve. And finally against the sin of presumption You remind us that we ought never to put the Lord our God to the test. Trusting God and having faith in Him is different from acting like a fool and challenging God or taking His love for granted.
The text ends saying that after the devil had failed in tempting You he left for a while. It is a reminder to us that even though we may with Your help and grace overcome temptation we must always be vigilant for the devils knows our weaknesses and will strike us when we least expect it. Thank You my Beloved for making provision for us to face the onslaught of the devil through grace made freely available to us in the Sacraments. Thank You for our Guardian Angel who makes intercession for us night and day. Thank You for the Saints in heaven and the Holy Souls in Purgatory who also pray for us that we may not fall into sin and above all thank You for the abiding Presence of Your Holy Spirit in us.

In the United States, the Nintendo Switch Online service will go for $3.99 a month, though you could opt to pay for three months at a time for $7.99 or for the whole year at $19.99.
Where the free online gravity train for current online Nintendo Switch games will come to an end.
What's more is that there will be 20 NES games made available at the launch of the premium network service, all of which will have online multiplayer enabled. "Friends can even watch each other play single-player games online, and "pass the controller" at any time".
Launch titles include the 10 classic NES games listed below, with an additional 10 set to be announced at a later date. 3 and Donkey Kong.
'Rat poison': Bitcoin's value drops after a billionaire slams it
In response to an audience question, he also said that bitcoin and other forms of cryptocurrency "will come to bad endings". Winklevoss along with also his brother Cameron had $1 1 million in bitcoin at $120 a coin in April 2013 .
With the Save Data Cloud Backup feature, all save data for most Switch games will be stored online.
"There are now no plans to bring classic games together under the Virtual Console banner as has been done on other Nintendo systems", the email stated. Online play for certain games is free for the moment, but will also end up locked behind this service once it launches in September. The addition of cloud saves is a very welcome addition, as all Switch save data is tied to the console, prohibiting owners from transferring their data between consoles even in cases where their console breaks. Nintendo will also offer a family bundle for $34.99 that allows up to eight people to use the same subscription. There will also be the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app, which Nintendo says will "enhance the online experience for compatible games through voice chat and other features". In a way this is similar to what Microsoft offers with its Games with Gold feature, although admittedly Nintendo's offerings are considerably older. A monthly subscription will cost $3.99, meanwhile three months of membership will cost $7.99. Initially 20 games will be included with online functionality for multiplayer - including the likes of Balloon Fight, Dr. Mario, Super Mario Bros.
If this leaves you concerned about playing classics on the Switch, Nintendo is confident you'll still be able to do so, it will just be through other means that aren't Virtual Console.
Nintendo has finally shared more information about its upcoming Nintendo Switch online subscription platform.

Phoenix - Review
Review - Matt Mungle
**In select theaters and Angelika Film Center in Dallas and Plano August 7th*
Language: German w/ English subtitles
Synopsis: A disfigured concentration-camp survivor (Nina Hoss), unrecognizable after facial reconstruction surgery, searches ravaged postwar Berlin for the husband (Ronald Zehrfeld) who might have betrayed her to the Nazis.
Review: This romantic story of mystery and drama is a decent attempt at intrigue but too often it just simply a mediocre narrative. Nelly Lenz (Nina Hoss) is lucky to be a live and wants to connect with the one person left alive that she loves; her husband Johnny (Ronald Zehrfeld). The rumors that he is the one who turned her in to the Nazi's does not discourage her from seeking him out. The characters and plot points should have made this a stellar film. But the writing by Christian Petzold and Harun Farocki never breaks free from the confines of insecurity.
The screenplay is adapted from the novel "Le Retour des cendres" by Hubert Monteilhet which was probably more compelling in print. I doubt the characters drifted around as lost and removed on the pages of the book the way they do on the screen. Plus the plot holes and "convenient scenarios" make the outcome unbelievable. Viewers should (if they are paying attention) shake their heads and look at each other as if to say, "umm that is not how that would play out". And I am not talking about the actual ending but the events and unveiling's that lead up to the hum drum conclusion.
I am always quick to point out when actors are not to blame for the meandering of their roles. And here it is important to note that both Hoss and Zehrfeld deliver stellar performances. What is lacking the lines they were given and the direction of Christian Petzold - who also wrote it, remember? When you are unable to improve on your own script by how you direct it may be just cause to reevaluate the entire thing.
Again the concept is top notch and I can see why the film was made. This idea of a woman escaping a concentration-camp, taking on a new identity, and then engaging her unknowing husband is catchy and unique. I give this rendering only 2 out of 5 nose jobs. Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and brief suggestive material there is nothing objectionable in this one. It is certainly written and themed for those who like art house foreign films. Which I am one of. That is why I judge this one as critical as I do. It could have and should have been so much better.

In this installment of Crockpot Cooking, I am featuring the recipe to Santa Fe Chicken. We've been seeing more of those hectic days around here lately, and I thought it would be a great time to introduce a new crockpot meal in case anyone is in the same busy boat as us.
The ingredients to this recipe were already chopped, portioned, and waiting in the freezer. The night before, take the bag from the freezer to the fridge to thaw out. When you're ready to put the meal in the crockpot, if it isn't completely thawed out, run it over cool water for a few minutes.
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 red pepper, chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp cilantro, optional
- 1/2 cup baby bella mushrooms, optional
- Add contents of bag, plus 1 can of black beans, 1 can of corn, 1 medium jar of salsa to a crockpot. Cook on high 3-4 hours, or on low 6-8 hours. Serve over rice.
Although my fiance and I both enjoyed the Santa Fe Chicken, between the two recipes, our favorite so far has been the Orange Chicken.

It has just been announced that Israeli actress, Gal Gadet has been cast as DC's legendary female heroine Wonder Woman in the next installment of Man of Steel. Gal is best know for her role in Fast and Furious 6. While the movie is at the moment untitled the focus is on the conflict between Superman and Batman.
Henry Cavil returns to his role as Kal-El and Ben Affleck has been cast as The Dark Knight. It was rumored that other members of DC's Justice League like The Flash and Nightwing will make a cameo but that has not been confirmed. Zack Snyder, the sequel's director explains why he chose Gal saying "Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character."
Upon finding out she nabbed the iconic part, Gadet tweeted: "Wonder Women! So exciting!!! Can't express how happy I am :))))"
My concern as guy that is into comics and fairly picky about character portrayal is Gal's height and frame. Wonder Woman is a powerful Amazon that stands at 6'0 with blue eyes and an athletic build. Gadet stands at 5'9 and is slender in build. The former Miss.Israel is gorgeous and dark haired, but I'm afraid that is all Wonder Woman and Gal have in common. I may be able to over look the fact that she is short if she can put on some muscle and do justice to the character and really bring her to life. It worked for Hugh Jackman ( 6'3) who plays Marvel's Wolverine (5'3).

Bikes 'Terrorist Threat' (Again)
Posted by chdot on July 26, 2006
Seems over-reaction has reached Exeter station.
"Security Threat" was the excuse, some years ago, when bike racks were removed from the convenient covered space on platform 1 at Haymarket Station and put in the less secure (from a theft point of view) car park. It would be disastrous if a similar view is taken at Waverley where significant numbers of commuters now get to and from the station by bike.
Meanwhile in London "Arsenal FC told bikes are not a bomb risk".
