When it comes to removing hair from the eyebrows threading is one of the most favorable methods available. Threading facial hair has become increasingly popular due to the accuracy, precision, and definition it provides. It is an excellent option as even smallest hairs will be removed out of the follicles, therefore, your brows will be perfect for up to four weeks.
What is Eyebrow Threading
Eyebrow threading is the method of removing hair with a thread, more specifically a silk thread. This is one of the most available methods to remove unwanted hair. It requires certain practice but it is, in fact, a simple technique which everyone can master it without too much difficulty. This method of epilating by the means of threading goes back much earlier than the 21st century, although it has only gained honored popularity in the last decade.
Threading is Not Limited to Only Threading Eyebrows
A simple thread will help you quickly and almost painlessly remove the hairs on the arms, legs, face, practically anywhere, that the unwanted hair may appear. Although it is more suitable for small areas as it will take a while in larger areas. Threading facial hair is very common, it is commonly used to remove fine hairs from a women's face.
Threading can be easily conducted at home or in a beauty salon. If to try explaining the core of the older procedure in a few words, it should be said as follows:
- it is necessary to use proper thread, for example, the silk one,
- to fold it in the form of the number eight under certain rules,
- to put it through on the skin in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
You may be wondering how the hairs are removed by that. It is quite simple: they are plucked out with the root, sticking in the loop created by the thread.
How Much is Eyebrow Threading
Eyebrow threading is obviously going to be more expensive if you decide to go to a professional in a salon. It can range in price, up to 20USD.
Threading eyebrows from home costs literally nothing. You need a single thread and time to practice. By watching tutorial videos you can easily get the gist of it. We recommend spending some time to learn the technique yourself. It's not as intimidating as it may seem and you will enjoy always having your eyebrows perfectly maintained.

What about the Pain – Does Eyebrow Threading Hurt?
It hurts as much as removing hair from the root. It could be compared to tweezing, but instead of pulling out only one hair at a time, threading removes many. Therefore it hurts more than plucking with eyebrow tweezers only because more hairs are being removed at once BUT the process will be over much faster. As another comparison, it hurts less than using wax strips or any other kind of wax hair removal for that matter as it doesn't stick onto the skin as wax does which causes a risk of skin irritation. Aside from the feeling of the hairs being removed from the roots, you may feel a tingling sensation from the friction of the thread on your skin. All in all the procedure is over quick, therefore so is the pain.
Does It Have any Drawbacks?
The method of epilating by thread came to European women from the East. This way of hair removal has been used by many beauties of India, China, Egypt, Turkey, and Iran for many centuries. Threading facial hair is extremely useful for removing the undesirable hairs in the areas of eyebrows and the upper lip. This is offered in the beauty studios also for the arms, lower legs, belly, underarm zone and toes. Thanks to its simplicity and effectiveness this procedure is growing more popular and receives only positive feedback.
Eyebrow Threading Before and After
Here is an example of how threading can transform the way your brows look entirely. In this eyebrow threading before and after shot, you can examine the difference. This is the result after mere minutes!
What are the Pros?
First of all, it is completely safe. This epilating procedure does not traumatize the skin which is especially important while threading the face. Secondly, the hairs are plucked out with the bulbs, therefore the effect after the hair removal lasts longer than, for instance, using a men's or women's razor. Thirdly, as opposed to the plucking the hair by tweezers, threading allows grasping several hairs at once resulting in a quicker procedure and less painful.
On top of all of that threading doesn't require any special tools just simple eyebrow threading threads and a couple of hours to learn a technique), nor the expensive agents for skin processing – all it takes is a reel of the silk or cotton threads. Hence, there is no point in being afraid of an allergic reaction. Moreover, it is an opportunity to save money.
How about the Cons?
Though nothing is without flaws and even such inexpensive and accessible procedure as threading has some drawbacks.
- Firstly, initially it is necessary to let grow the hair – they must have a length of 4-5mm before the beginning of threading, that means the hairs will be rather visible.
- Secondly, large areas of the skin will take longer than by other methods such as sugaring hair removal or roll-on wax.
- And thirdly, you need to master the threading technique which takes some time and patience. Using a tool called a spring hair remover requires less practice and in terms of the technique and is just as cheap, making it a brilliant alternative to remove unwanted peach fuzz quickly.
Hair Threading Techniques
As mentioned above, the technique of threading is quite simple, but it's is important to follow all the recommendations and course of actions with accuracy. For the first time we recommend epilating the legs; this will allow you to catch onto the procedure and acquire the necessary skill. So this is what you need to know about the technique…
First off, prepare the skin procedure.
- Remove the dirt and oil from the skin surface by means of the gel, toner or any other cleansing refresher.
- For the most comfortable and painless procedure, put the hot towel on the area for several minutes. By steaming the skin, it prepares the skin for depilation.
- The last stage is to thoroughly dry the skin, it should not be at all wet.
Now start by preparing the thread. Take the appropriate thread (it is better to use a not too long, silk one) and connect the tips to each other to create a circle, which we put on the fingers of both hands. Here the big thumbs should be free. For creating the figure like a number 8, we twist the loop in the middle six times.
Here we have two rings (make one of them less in size than the other), in each, we push through the index fingers and thumbs.
Now we put the thread against the skin in such a manner as the twisted middle of the figure eight is under the excessive hairs, and the ring which is larger than another should be above the hairs. Move your fingers apart holding the little ring by a sudden and quick movement; the twisted middle will begin to slide up to the point, where the large part of eight is situated.
The large half of the eight would have become the little one, and the hairs should have gone into the loop and removed.
It may seem that the technique of the epilating procedure by the means of the thread is complicated and intricate, but this impression is mistaken. Try to do everything in order and you will surely cope with it, even if not at the first attempt or second attempt but you will get it eventually. We hope that after such a detailed description, you will be able to clearly understand what needs to be done in order to successfully implement threading yourself.
Now you know that the procedure of epilating unwanted hair by threading is a simple and effective technique and can be performed at home with some practice you will be threading with ease.
We advise you to cover the processed skin from the direct sunlight and hot air surroundings like saunas or hot baths for 24 hours.
Before this practice of epilation for your face and body, you should remember something. Threading is not used for the hair removal on the areas with the moles, papilloma or warts. One more thing, if there are any inflammations, injuries, scratches, peeling skin, you must wait until it has gone or healed. The procedure is not recommended for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers as they will be more sensitive to pain. You must also be careful if you suffer from the varicose veins.
It may lead to ingrown hairs appearance, which can be painful and difficult to get rid of. But, if you do all the steps correctly and properly prepare the skin prior to the procedure, you will most likely not touched by this problem.
For beginners, it is better to use the cotton thread, as having no experience in threading you may cut the hands with a silk one.
After threading, prolong the effects by applying a hair growth inhibitor cream to the area. This will slow down the growth of hairs and nourish the skin.

Improved cookstoves improve life in a variety of ways. More spacious stoves can accommodate multiple pots at one time, significantly reducing the time it takes to make dinner. With improved ventilation methods, families don't have to inhale dangerous smoke. A decreased reliance on firewood means healthier soil. The list goes on and on.
These photos were taken in Lower Gweru, Mdubiwa Ward, Matshina Village, Zimbabwe, where the community was recently outfitted with improved cookstoves.
In the photo above, a woman proudly displays her new improved cookstove. She is able to cook three pots at once and use residual heat on the corner of the stove to warm an additional pot of water to use later for bathing. The new stove is conveniently located indoors, where it is safe from the weather, and features a vent that funnels the exhaust outside.

Acai Cenalex Review
It's amazing sometimes. It seems like the Acai Cenalex or acai diet pill never fails to come through! Whether sneaking through the cracks or coming through an open door, "free trial offer" acai products seem to pop up everywhere!
Acai Cenalex is in truth pretty standard. It comes with claims of "advanced thermogenics" and "efficient digestion" along with fat burning and detoxing of course! And pictures detail a formula meant for a "great but, guilt free food, and so long fat" with a celebrity diet pill.
The Celebrity Scam
It used to be that Acai Cenalex, like many other acai products, featured Oprah & Dr. Oz, because obviously it sounds good. But now, Acai Cenalex sticks to non specific celebrities, because if there are no names named, nobody can sue Acai Cenalex or other companies like it!
Acai Cenalex was one of over 50 companies sued by Oprah & Dr. Oz, because "Companies used the fact that Oprah and Memhet Oz talked about the acai berries on their shows to create the impression that Oprah and Oz were selling these products – and endorsing them" which clearly both these TV stars were not. Publicist David Schardt further stated that "there is no evidence acai actually helps you lose weight."
Now the FTC is considering new rules that would make celebrities use any product they endorse. So no more Carmen Electra, no more Kardashian diet pills, and no more Oprah's special "acai fat burners." At the very least, it might make celebrities think twice before pushing a diet pill that didn't even help them to lose weight.
Acai Cenalex's Other Ingredients
Acai Cenalex does have other ingredients, and one of their other ingredients, green tea, can promote potentially strong fat burning results. But in order to do this, Acai Cenalex would have to have at least 400mg of green tea, if not more. Clearly, it does not judging by the fact that Acai Cenalex does not list any amounts. The other ingredients in Acai Cenalex have nothing to do with weight loss.
The truth is that Acai Cenalex is normal, it's too normal in fact. There are hundreds of different acai products out there that are just like it, which is really too bad. But it's not particularly surprising. Most diet pills are designed to make as much money as possible, even if that means creating products that don't actually work. And acai products are different only because acai products focus on one unproven ingredient that has been all over the news.

My first Philip Pullman, and probably my last.
When I read a book I don't like, I usually figure it's just not for me, and I have different tastes, blah, blah, and move on. Not this time. The novel "deserves" a few notes.
Philip Pullman has awfully combined two of the greatest conundrums of modern science, dark matter and the nature of consciousness, into one very week element within his narrative, and has connected it with the transition from childhood to adolescence. After all this is a YA novel.
Pullman's suggestion is that children are not fully self-conscious until adolescence. This premise is nonsense, even for a book. Pullman's claim is that these elements of consciousness start streaming into the children and their daemons settle into a fixed form. Uhm...Come again?
All those elements could work if the execution was any good. Unfortunately it's pretty awful. I know this a YA novel. Pullman's intension was for the book to be read by young adults and maybe even the younger set. Even so he can be faulted for style and narrative (LeGuin's The Earthsea Trilogy, Heinlein's Have Space Suit - Will Travel, John Christopher's Tripods Trilogy, Kurt Vonnegut's Welcome To The Monkey House, Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Trilogy, and Jonathan Letham's Girl in Landscape come to mind in terms of almost faultless execution).
After a good start set in an alternate universe things slack down and became completely predictable. Despite a few scenes that could have been tense, I never felt the suspense growing, only the boring level growing by virtue of introducing repetitious literary devices , like the phrase: "She was horrified..". Character-wise is also where the novel really fails.The characters are nothing more than cut-out cardboard cliches. They are not gripping. The conversations are often painful to read. And the adventures? Yawn.

The Snowball and Snowflake microphones connect to a computer through the USB port. We recommend using Audacity as the audio recording software.
The Snowflake mic has one setting for recording, while the Snowball mic has three recording settings on the back of the microphone:
1 - For recording directly in front of the microphone
2 - For recording LOUD audio (such as a concert)
3 - For omnidirectional recording
Set up for both microphones is the same:

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
I had always dismissed the mom jean as the stuff of Saturday Night Live sketches and What Not to Wear pre-makeover wardrobes until I saw Dutch model Doutzen Kroes wearing a pair on Jean Stories earlier this year. She looked so cool in her white shirt and braided belt (very '90s) that I wanted in.
And so began my search for the perfect fit. I started with a pair of boyfriend jeans in a size smaller than I usually wear so they'd wrap snugly around my waist, but then I decided to forgo the women's department entirely and get a pair of men's Levi's 511s (they have a slim fit). After an eyeing a pair of MiH mom jeans on Shopbop, I went to the brand's sample sale last spring but could only find an ultra-flare patched style, which I bought anyway as a consolation prize.
I've had trouble finding the right mom jean (though this pair from Urban Outfitters might just do the trick), not because the trend hasn't really taken hold but because I just haven't found an abundance of options. Sifting through the many different cuts that have come out in recent years has not been easy.
Jean savants Jane Bishop and Florence Kane, who launched Jean Stories a year ago to give denim the editorial attention it deserves, trace the ubiquity of denim right now to the changes in technology over the past decade. "Technology has allowed designers to make jeans that hold up all day long and recover without bagging out. Denim is an endlessly innovative and democratic fabric, and designers are making jeans that women can wear and feel comfortable in for every occasion," explains Bishop. Look at Olivier Rousteing of Balmain, who's taken advantage of the fabric's versatility to make miniskirts, shirts, dresses and jackets. With a bit of bling, he has put it on the runway.
As far as industry trends go, skinny jeans are taking the sideline after nearly ten years in the spotlight. "The skinny was a reaction to the bootcut, and now people are reacting to that with a 100 percent cotton Levi's 501," says Kane. It's not the brand of jean that's important though, it's the cut.
Claire Geist, a personal style blogger with a habit for vintage (she's behind the blog De Lune and works part time at the Brooklyn warehouse Dusty Rose Vintage) is seeing the same thing as Bishop and Kane. "There's a slow shift away from the skinny fit towards something a little more loose and approachable, like a high-waisted, slim-fit slouchy kind of thing." Not to mention, flares are on their way back in, and like other styles, their waist keeps getting higher.
As for the boyfriend? It's been evolving since Bishop and Kane witnessed its game-changing effect firsthand in 2006, when designers Emily Current and Merritt Elliott brought their new boyfriend jean out. The trend trickled down from fashion insiders to celebrities to high schoolers like me -- I bought a pair from the Gap on my way home from SAT prep after seeing pictures of Jennifer Aniston wearing them. (I had to Google how to wear them because I had never seen anything like them before.) What used to be extra baggy and always rolled up is now getting skinnier, cropped, and uncuffed. Champions of the boyfriend like Claire (and me) are just as likely to feminize them with heels as we are to cuff them with sneakers.
Now that every possible cut and style of denim is out now, it's no wonder that we've come back to the mom jean. (Never say never with fashion, because it always seems to have a second life.) "There's no fit of jean that will disappear and never come back," says Bishop. "All that matters is how they make YOU feel."
Is there anything you told yourself you'd never wear?

Have you ever tried using Campfire Cologne instead of any cologne and spray perfume? It would have been a great experience to feel the real man along with your scent. This is the era where you have to show your own style in order to be famous between common people. There is no need to be worry, since people nowadays appreciate unique things to be applied and follow the style if it does attract their sense. If you do believe this premise, maybe you would not be so surprised when you see any Campfire Cologne commercial.
What is Campfire Cologne
You could never imagine what it does mean with Campfire Cologne as the brand name. If you thought the name chosen is just to catch the attention of people, you might be mistaken. This scent is just a way too extraordinary. You could feel the scent of fresh wood, clean air in the forest, and also the smoke from fire woods at night just from this one cologne. Could you make up how manly it would be to apply the scent into your body?
There is no need to use those chemical things for your perfume to get a masculine image in front of your colleague. There is nothing special from the scents you find in usual perfume, but this Campfire Cologne offers a way too different. Do not be shocked when you try one. Maybe at first you will not get used to it. But trust me it would be fun to try.
Looking at Campfire Cologne
This is not the best Campfire Cologne review you could read, but be sure that what is written here is right. Not only the scent, but also the packaging is inimitable as well. There is no spray bottle here; you could only find some wood and matches inside. It is, you apply the cologne by light up the match. And here go the unique Campfire Cologne for unusual gift for manliest man.

Internships, Co-ops and Undergraduate Research [1]
Hands-on experience give students the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in the classroom in a real-world environment.
Experiential learning can take a variety of forms including internship, co-op, service learning, research, projects through student societies, and study abroad.
The UMass College of Engineering values these experiences and recognizes the benefits that hands-on learning provides. Two of the most common forms of experiential learning, internships and co-ops, provide hands-on learning within a professional setting. However, it is important to know that the terms "co-op" and "internship" may be used by different groups or individuals to mean different things.
Internship: According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), "An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent". Because of regulations pertaining to the Fair Labor Standards Act, Engineering internships are generally paid positions within an engineering-related organization that provide professional-level experience. Internships typically occur during the summer or winter break, but can also be part-time positions that occur during the academic semester. *
Co-op: Co-ops are longer experiences that generally last 6-9 months. While on co-op, students will stop taking classes in order to work full-time, but will maintain their full-time student status by completing the co-op contract through the UMass CareerConnect system. [2]When you complete this paid experience and submit the co-op contract, it will appear on your transcript. All students must fill out a Co-op contract through CareerConnect. [2] Login to CareerConnect using your student NetID and password, then click on My Account, then Internship/Co-op (add new). Part of the contract includes gaining permission from your department's undergraduate program director. *
- Dept. Permission Form for Student Away on Internship or Co-op [pdf] [3]
- Placement Requirements Form [pdf] [4]
- If you do not have a 2.0 GPA, you must also get permission from the Dean to go on co-op: Dean's Permission Form [pdf] [5]
* There are additional requirements for international students who want to go on internship or co-op. Please see below for details.
Accepting Offers: When you accept an offer for an internship or co-op, both the UMass College of Engineering Career Center and the employer expect that you are acting in good faith and that you will honor that commitment. It is your responsibility to thoroughly evaluate an offer and decide if the opportunity is right for you before accepting it.
Research is engineering-related work done in an academic laboratory — whether at UMass, or at another educational institution or national lab.

Guidelines for International Students
If you are on an F-1 student visa, you must fulfill certain requirements in order to gain practical training through either an internship or co-op so that you don't violate the terms of your visa.
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) [9] is off-campus work experience (training) that is an integral part of an established curriculum. In practical terms, this means an opportunity must be required by the curriculum, or if not required, the student must receive credit for the training.
Because the UMass College of Engineering does not require practical work experience in order to graduate, international engineering students MUST register for a 1 credit independent study course in order to complete either an internship or co-op experience.
How Do I Know if I am Eligible to Apply for CPT?
To be eligible for CPT, you must:
- Be in lawful F-1 status
- Have been enrolled on a full-time basis for one academic year (i.e. two full, consecutive semesters before applying for CPT), and be in good academic standing
- Have a job offer
- The position must be relevant to your field of study
- Not be enrolled in an intensive English language training program
- Have UMass approved health insurance
- * Note: students are NOT ELIGIBLE for CPT once you have completed all degree requirements.
The Application Process
- You must first have an internship or co-op offer from an employer within your field of study: Resources in finding internships and co-ops [pdf] [6]
You must bring a copy of the job offer from the employer to the Undergraduate Program Director (if you are an undergraduate student) or Graduate Program Director (if you are a graduate student) in your academic department. The letter with the offer must:
- Be addressed to you
- Written on the company's letterhead (no emails)
- Provide a job description and a job title
- Specify whether the position is part-time or full-time (students may work full-time (40 hours/week) during vacation times—summer or winter break, or up to 20 hours during the academic year unless you are going on co-op and have completed the necessary forms with Career Services (see above).
- Specify the start date and the end date of the internship or co-op
- Include the complete address of the site that the work will take place (street, city, state and zip code)
- The academic advisor will complete a form to enroll you in a 1-credit independent study and will sign the completed the CPT Authorization Form (must be filled out in advance) [10]
- Bring the completed CPT Authorization Form (signed by academic advisor) and the job offer letter to the UMass International Programs Office (IPO), located in 70 Butterfield Terrace. The IPO office will send your completed CPT request to SEVIS electronically to generate a new I-20 and the CPT work authorization will appear on page 2 of the new SEVIS I-20.
- Make sure you have updated your address in SPIRE within 10 days of any change while you are on F-1 status.
Other Important Information
Please view the International Programs Office's F Visa CPT & OPT Information Page [11] for a more comprehensive understanding of how going on CPT may affect your eligibility for future post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT), travel considerations, and social security card information.

Jennifer Aniston won us all over as the comical and endearing Rachel Green on the long-running show Friends. It should therefore come as no surprise that the star is actually a riot in real life and keeps her hubby, Justin Theroux, in stitches at her comical nature.
Theroux expressed his adoration for his wife while chatting with Loaded Magazine recently. He focused on the fact that their relationship is kept perfect by the sense of humor they share and the ability to keep one another happy and laughing.
Hello relays the words of The Leftovers star in regards to Aniston and his interactions.
"It's a laugh a minute. When we get on a run, it's pretty fun. There's been a couple of times when she has brought me to my knees laughing and me her. Literally, there was one time and she did something so funny and I was literally on my knees. So yeah, it's a fun house."
The couple has obviously been enjoying their time since saying their "I dos" in the summer of last year. Sense of humor is definitely a key component to ensuring a happy relationship and Jen and Justin clearly have that without doubt.
Justin is set for the release of Zoolander 2, which he will appear in and also co-wrote. The star was also behind the screenplay for the first Zoolander, which was a massive success at the box office and beyond. Theroux also played a small part in the first film, starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson.
As Hello relays, however, the trailer for the sequel, which was released back in November, was met with controversy with viewers suggesting bits of the trailer were "transphobic, with over 21,000 people signing up to boycott the film."
Justin has, however, insisted that the clip was misinterpreted and feels saddened that the negative response was so strong about something that was unintended and misconstrued. The actor spoke with The Wrap on the controversial trailer.
"I don't even know what to make of it, because it hurts my feelings in a way. I take great care in the jokes I write, and the umbrage being taken is out of the context of the scene. I wish people would see the movie first."
The movie is likely still to be a hit despite the boycott drummed up by the controversy. As for Aniston, the beauty has been busy with a number of projects, but the biggest news of this past week involves the sitcom that brought the star to our television screens on a weekly basis for a decade. That's right, the Friends cast reunited for an NBC tribute and a teaser was released of the cast interacting, notably displaying as much chemistry as always.
Absent from the tribute was Matthew Perry, who played Chandler on the hit sitcom. The actor was absent due to being involved in a play in London over the time the tribute was filmed. The Daily Mail shares insights about how the rest of the cast members appeared in the teaser.
"David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox still managed to delight with their unchanged chemistry in the sneak peak for the special television event."
The full event is sure to be one that brings fans, new and old, in droves to tune in for the tribute, In regards to the marriage of Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston, the pair has certainly found a fantastic match that unites their talent, humor and support for one anther's endeavors.
The couple was married in a secretive backyard wedding of their Be Air estates in the summer of 2015.

A Church history of St. Joseph's - Duluth Heights
In early 1921, the Bishop of the Diocese of Duluth, John T. McNicholas, sent two Carmalite Sisters from the Corpus Christi Centre in Duluth to visit the families in the Duluth Heights area. To their surprise, Sister Mary Joseph and Sister Mary Andrew found many Catholic families in the area. Because of distance and transportation problems, most of the families were unable to attend Mass on Sundays and their children did not go to Catholic schools depriving them of a Religious education.
Through the organizing methods of Sister Mary Joseph, a parish was formed. Catechism classes were started for the children and held in the home of Mrs. J. Praff on Saturday mornings. On Easter Sunday the first Mass was celebrated in the home of Joseph Wild at 123 West Orange Street. Father J, Poitras an assistant at St. Jean's Parish celebrated the Mass. Eighteen families were represented.
The parish was named St. Joseph in honor of Sister Mary Joseph who was largely responsible for its organization. The parish was first placed under the care of the Monsignor Buh (Boo) Mission House at 1124 E. Superior St., in Duluth. A number of priests from the Mission House took turns serving the parish until Bishop McNicolas appointed Father Walter Remmes as its first pastor on September 18, 1921. Plans were immediately formulated to build a church. Father Remmes along with two trustees, Charles Miller and J. Sweeney, drew up plans with the assistance of a building committee composed of Fred O'Brien, Charles Miller, Joseph Stauber, Edward Thompson, and Joseph Wild. Many of the parishioners and a number of priests from the Mission House helped in the actual building of the structure which when completed had a seating capacity of 150. It was located at the corner of Arlington Avenue and Gilead St. The purchase price for the land (18 lots) was $1,450. (12 payments of $142.20 made December 1, 1921, through September 1, 1924 made the total cost 1,592.20) The origninal site first proposed was three acres at the intersection of Swan Lake Road and Maple Grove Road.
On December 18, 1921, the newly built church was blessed by Bishop McNicholas and Father Remmes celebrated the first Mass. The church saw its first class of children make their First Holy Communion, April 30, 1922. (The first parish class made their First Holy Communion, May 26, 1921, in the Chapel of Corpus Christi Centre).
Sunday collections in 1921 were grossing $10.00 weekly. Every third Sunday of the month, the collection was donated to the Sisters of the Corpus Christi House.
Father Remmes continued as pastor until August 1923. The parish was taken care of by the Mission house for a few months until Father J. McGranahan was appointed pastor. He served as pastor until Father John Bagley assumed the duties September 1926.
Until Father Bagley showed up, the previous two pastors did not actually reside in the parish because it had no rectory. Father Bagley broke from this tradition and shortly after his appointment took up residence at the E. Sellar's home. He became the first resident pastor. Father Bagley had served the parish for almost 11 years when he was killed in a bus and car accident June 26, 1937.
Father Thom O'Donoghue immediately succeeded Father Bagley as pastor. However, because the pastor of Duluth Heights, St. Joseph's, was also the pastor of Park Point, Our Lady of Mercy, since its establishment as a parish, Father O'Donoghue chose to live at Our Lady of Mercy. In the meantime, plans were made to build a rectory for St. Joseph's. The site selected was 715 Arlington Avenue where the parish had ample property. A building contract was let in August 1939 and the building was ready for occupation by the spring of 1940.
In September 1945, Father O'Donoghue was transferred to Buhl and for the next year and a half the parish was served successively by Father William Hennebery (September 1945 – February 1946) and Father James Ballamans, O.S.C. (February 1946 – January 1947).
Father Joseph Hughes, then editor of the Duluth Register, was appointed pastor on January 8, 1947. By securing help from the Crosier Fathers of Onamia, Father Hughes was able to add a second Mass on Sundays at St. Joseph's and at Our Lady of Mercy. Until this time, there was only one Mass offered at both parishes.
Father Hughes continued as pastor until March 30, 1950. Father James Chisholm was appointed to take his place. During Father Chisholm's term as pastor, it was decided that St. Joseph's needed a new church. Consequently, Father Chisholm, together with the trustees - Charles Miller, one of the original trustees in 1921, and John Mackey - began planning for a new church. Parishioner Chester Lachecki, a draftsman, offered his services to draw the plans. Land was donated by the Eichen family at the corner of Ebony and Linden Street, the present location.
Meanwhile, because of the increase of membership in both St. Joseph's and Our Lady of Mercy parishes, the Diocese decided that each parish required its own individual pastor. Accordingly, on August 6, 1952, such a separation was decreed by Bishop Thomas A. Welch. Father Chisholm remained as pastor of Our Lady of Mercy and Father Rudolph N. Faith was appointed as the new pastor of St. Joseph's.
Plans for the new church and rectory were completed in the spring of 1953 and construction was started. As with the previous church, parishioners once again helped in the actual building of the church and rectory. The building project was completed in June 1954 with the church blessed by Bishop Welch on June 13, 1954.
By March of 1960 there were 262 families in the parish in spite of the fact that 76 families were removed from the parish rolls when the formation of the St. Raphael's parish was established in 1959. The membership increased to approximately 330 families by 1999.
Father James Crossman was pastor from 1965 to 1968. Father Chisholm returned as pastor from 1968 to 1974 followed by Father Thomas Stack from 1974 to 1983.
Father Patrick Coyle became pastor in 1983. Remodeling and liturgical updating of the church began under Father Coyle shortly after his arrival. The Parking lot was enlarged by vacating the Locust street easement for the north entrance and adding additional parking spaces to the east. Also at this time the church was reroofed and insulation was added. In the late 80s it was decided to have an organ built for the church by Jaeckel, Inc. The organ was completed and installed in 1990.
In the early 1990s, the church was resided and stained glass windows were installed followed by the redesign of the altar.
In 1994, Father Noel Stretton, took over and completed the renovation and liturgical updating of the church and a complete remodeling of the rectory.
Father Stretton was transferred to St. Elizabeth's parish in August of 2002 and St. Joseph's joined St. Lawrence as a sister parish under Fr. William Fournier. He was joined by Ted Windus as our first deacon.
On July 13, 2005, Father William Fider became Pastor, with Father John Beckfelt, Pastor Emeritis, Father James Scheurer, Pastor in residence, and Deacon Chico Anderson assisting.Father Fournier was transferred to St. John's parish.
On July 12, 2017, Fr. William Fider retired and Fr. Ryan Moravitz became Pastor, with Deacon Chico Anderson assisting. Our membership is currently at 201 registered families.

Newtonians are a type of reflecting telescope. A concave parabolic primary mirror at the back of the telescope collects and focuses incoming light onto a flat secondary (diagonal) mirror that in turn reflects the image out of an opening at the side of the front end of the main tube and into the eyepiece. (For large f/ratio Newtonians, the primary mirror often has a spherical shape.)
- Lowest cost per inch of aperture compared to refractors and catadioptrics since mirrors can be produced at less cost than lenses in medium to large apertures.
- Reasonably compact and portable up to focal lengths of 1000mm.
- Excellent for faint deep sky objects such as remote galaxies, nebulae and star clusters due to the generally fast focal ratios (f/4 to f/8).
- Reasonably good for lunar and planetary work.
- Good for deep sky astrophotography (but not as convenient as and more difficult to use than catadioptrics).
- Low in optical aberrations and deliver very bright images.
- Generally not suited for terrestrial applications.
- Secondary (diagonal) mirror and its supporting structure obstruct some of the incoming light, leading to slight light loss and scattering (diffraction of light) when compared with refractors.

We completed our debt free journey about 6 months before our first child was born. This was a huge blessing. In the beginning of our 6 year journey I thought, ""man I can't wait to be done with this so I can go back to no budget and spending without thinking". But then we got pregnant and my priorities shifted dramatically. To my surprise, I didn't go on a spending spree for my new baby girl. After our last payment had been made we sat down and talked about if we wanted to make any changes to our budget now that we are debt free. My husband and I had worked so hard the last few years that I didn't want to change our budget. We had gotten used to the budget friendly lifestyle and chose to keep on with this plan even though we are debt free.
It became our new normal to set a budget and stick to it, so why change what isn't broken? It's true, we had a few splurge moments to commemorate this awesome milestone we had worked so hard for, but after that we fell back into our regular budget and have kept that going the last 3 years. Some tweaks have been made now that we are a family of 4. We both drive reliable but less than pretty used cars. My pretty little Buick Century finally showed us that we needed a new car this past year and we were able to pay cash for a new (to us) van. No lease. No loan. We shopped around and I found the vehicle I wanted. My husband called me one day and said "Let's go get a van" He was so excited. I was not. But we had an envelope filled with cash and paid for it. That's crazy‼!
My answer to how to do this on one income is realizing the sacrifices that will need to be made. I know my husband really wants to have a Jeep Wrangler like he drove when he was younger. But he doesn't have one, because we don't NEED one. I would really like a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house on a nice big plot of land. But we don't have one, because we don't NEED one. (And I really do love my tiny condo, it's perfect for us right now.) There will be "things" you'll want and it's okay to dream but right now, a single income is our priority. This is where our WANT VS. NEED truly comes into play.

it's a shore thing is a SUPER cute line by jack and lulu for dear stella fabrics.
it's SO cute that you really don't want to cut it.
y'all know those fabrics that you just want to keep in big chunks and stare at.
i first noticed dear stella fabrics at quilt market this past fall.
i had to admire them from afar because their booth was always SUPER busy.
and if i'm being honest, i was kinda bummed that i didn't get a chance to meet with them.
but then, after market, they contacted me.
and that made my day.
so after some emails, i knew that something rachel griffith was going to be in their spring booth.
that something ended up being an impromptu quilt made with it's a shore thing fabrics.
note: the pattern is for a 90 1/2" x 90 1/2" quilt, but we went with a lap size for the booth.
my good friend marci made the sample and did the amazing wavey quilting.
{hi marci. xoxo.}
even though y'all know i'm not a summer girl, this fabric embraces what i actually DO like about summer . . . the beach. and flip flops.
oh how i love them both. so very much.
what do you like about summer?!?!
and for the record, i foresee myself using more dear stella fabrics in my future.
just sayin'.

How fitting that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences has announced the formation of a Casting Directors' branch, just as
Tom Donahue's outstanding documentary Casting
By is building an audience. (It opens theatrically in New York today and
Los Angeles on November 8.) What a perfect piece of timing—even though it adds
a bittersweet footnote to the failed effort to present an honorary Oscar to the
legendary Marion Dougherty, who passed away in 2011. In his impressively
researched film, Donahue makes it clear why and how Dougherty helped define her
profession. Indeed, she was the first person to receive a solo-card credit for
her work.
The list of people Dougherty discovered and championed is
daunting, and many of them appear on camera in Casting By, including Robert Duvall, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Glenn
Close, and Diane Lane, along with directors who placed their trust in her like
Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, and Woody Allen.
Dougherty got her feet wet in the world of live television
in New York City during the 1950s and made a successful transition to filmed TV
when such Manhattan-based shows as Naked
City and The Defenders offered
up-and-coming actors rich opportunities. Meanwhile, on the West Coast, Lynn
Stalmaster made a similar name for himself working on such half-hour series as Gunsmoke and Have Gun, Will Travel, amassing an equally impressive roster of
discoveries and (like Dougherty) really going to bat for people he believed in,
like Jon Voight and John Travolta, who recall how much his loyalty and
determination meant at crucial moments in their blossoming careers.
Casting By
would be valuable just for the interview footage with Dougherty and Stalmaster,
but they're just part of the reason the documentary is so good. This is clearly
a labor of love. It must have been in the works an awfully long time…but it was
worth waiting for.

In the third mystery of the series, Ziggy and friends are excited about their overnight camping trip to Caesar's Creek State Park--named after a Shawnee chief. Their camp counselor is a descendant of Caesar, and fills the campers' imaginations with fun (and spooky!) stories about her ancestors and the Shawnee legends. When Ziggy and the rest of the Clubhouse gang decide to test their courage like the Shawnee youth did, things don't go quite as planned. And when they end up lost, strange things start to happen. Could it just be the animals roaming the woods? Or are the ancient spirits of Caesar back to haunt their old stomping grounds?He was dressed in blue jeans and a matching blue shirt, which was, as usual, neatly tucked in. He even had a matching ...

Davis leads in mysterious ways
What star lacked in points, he made up for in rebounds, defense
NEW ORLEANS – The jump hook wasn't working. Neither was the dunk or the midrange jumper.
It didn't matter.
Anthony Davis did everything else in Monday night's national championship game against Kansas. Davis led Kentucky to its eighth title with a 67-59 victory at the Superdome with 16 rebounds and six blocks. He neutralized Kansas center Jeff Withey offensively, forced Travis Releford into airballs and opened up the lane for his teammates.
The All-Everything freshman from Chicago didn't score until 15:30 of the second half – on a free throw. Davis finished with just six points, four on free throws.
"I really don't care right now," Davis said on the court after the game. "I could care less. I had zero points. I wasn't mad. I didn't care. We wanted to win."
Davis' 16 rebounds were the most in a national championship game since Ed O'Bannon's 17 for UCLA in 1995. In addition to six blocks – which helped him set the NCAA freshman record for blocks in a season – Davis tied his career high with five assists and committed just three turnovers on a night when he made one of 10 shots.
To top it off, he was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player – just the fourth time a freshman claimed that honor.
"I love the fact that Anthony Davis goes 1-for-10 and you all say he was the biggest factor in the game. He was 1-for-10," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "At halftime I knew he didn't have a point. Before he left the locker room, I said, 'Listen to me, don't you now go out there and try to score. If you have opportunities, score the ball. If you don't, don't worry about it. You're the best player in the building."
Davis missed his first two layups of the second half.
"I was open," Davis said to Calipari during the postgame press conference.
The coach didn't miss a beat.
"I know why you were open … they were leaving you open," Cal responded to laughs.
Davis' first field goal came with 5:14 left in the game, when Marquis Teague drove the lane and found Davis on the left baseline, wide open.
He stepped in and knocked down the 17-foot jumper just as he did as a 6-foot-2 shooting guard at Perspectives Charter School in Chicago.
Yes, Davis was 6-foot-2. Now he's 6-10.
And yes, it happened practically overnight.
It wasn't as easy as Tom Hanks growing up overnight in "Big" although Davis' story came close.
Davis' high school coach, Cortez Hale, remembered seeing Davis when school ended in June of Davis' sophomore year. He was 6-2. When Hale next saw Davis it was for a summer league in late July that year and Davis was 6-7.
"I was just saying, 'Wow,'" Hale said from New Orleans. "I looked at him and said, 'Anthony?' and he was like, 'What's up coach.' I said, 'What happened?' and he said, 'I just woke up.'
"And he did and he became 6-10."
The growth spurt wasn't actually that quick. Davis grew from 6-2 to 6-7 before his junior year and then from 6-7 to 6-10 before his senior year. He grew faster than Hale could buy uniforms.
But Davis took the growth spurt in stride, learning how to become a big man at the hands of Hale, who's only about 6-feet tall himself.
Perspectives wasn't a powerhouse in Chicago: The school only had about 400 students from sixth to 12th grades, and only about 220 in high school. Davis' graduating class was just 28.
He won more games at Kentucky by Jan. 3 (14) than he had in his last two years of high school (13).
Davis was Hale's starting point guard his sophomore year, then had to play all five positions his final two seasons – even at 6-10.
"He was my fourth assistant coach. He pretty much sold popcorn. He did everything I needed him to do," Hale said.
All season Davis has showcased the arsenal of post moves Hale started teaching him just three years ago. Hale said Davis' lone post move was a drop step. Everything else -- a hook shot and an up-and-under move, to name a few – was foreign to Davis.
Once in a while this season, Davis flashes his guard moves. He led a fast break against Louisville on Saturday night and fed Terrence Jones on a perfect bounce pass early Monday night.
Davis' biggest adjustment, Hale remembered, was just accepting that he wasn't a guard anymore.
About a month ago, Calipari asked his team to figure out what they can do to help the Wildcats win if they're not scoring.
"He does about 50 things," Calipari said of Davis.
Add 51: Winning a national championship.

How is it possible that Christmas Eve is only hours away? I last posted on Dec.1 and in the weeks since my life has been a flurry of activity. It will be a quiet Christmas for us with only 1 of our 3 children home. Even my mom has left the state. While we have been busy working there have been a few moments of quiet reflection. On the evening we put our tree up it was snowing outside the window. It was a beautiful, late fall storm that dumped over a foot of snow on us. Just the presence of snow made everyone around here full of holiday spirit. I love to put my tree up. It is like visiting dear, old friends once a year. My Big Ben is new, bought in 2008 to commemorate our trip to England & Scotland in April of that year. Just above it is a hand crafted heart. The message was embroidered over 30 years ago when we celebrated our first Valentine's Day together. I was unhappy with the size of my work since I had already purchased a small, metal heart shaped frame so I embroidered another one to place in the frame and made this into an ornament. I find handwork is a gift that can be appreciated on so many levels. My boyfriend at the time (now my husband) showed genuine appreciation for his gift.
As far as handcrafting gifts this Christmas they were few and far between. The days have flown by with not much to show for the hours. I made a few items but have tried more than anything to spend time in worship. Worship for the newborn King Who is my salvation and the reason why I celebrate the season. There have been moments of sweet remembrance as I attended a women's holiday dessert with my friends at their church and hosted a table for my church's Christmas Tea. It all...the gifts, the tree, the events, the family members coming home....all of it is what makes the season a JOY to celebrate. I am grateful that His birth allows me these days to reflect and worship.
Merry Christmas to all-

Millions sample 'Flight of the Conchords'
The stocks of kiwi comedy/music duo Flight of the Conchords are on the rise, with a clip from their reality/sitcom tv show being listed as one of YouTube's top-rated videos.
The song "If You're Into It" (from Episode 4, Season 1 of their HBO TV series) sees Bret singing a unique love song to his girlfriend Coco, with the help of his friend Jermaine. The YouTube clip's scored over 2 million views (at the time of writing), and intrigued many people.
The duo's HBO show has been recommissioned for a second series, although Flight of the Conchords is by no means the "smash hit US show" the New Zealand media has tried to claim.
Reviews meanwhile have ranged from "may well be the funniest thing you've seen in ages" (San Francisco Chronicle) to "feels less like a sitcom than a Saturday Night Live sketch stretched out to about six times its shelf-life" (Miami Herald).
I think the video comments are just as amusing as the clip itself, especially those relating to the kiwi/NZ accent (apparently some US fans think their accent is "made up"! ;-)
- "I've wroten you a song, Coco."
Wroten? Just thought I'd get that out of my system.
- Oh my gosh wroten was getting on my nerves too! Finally someone brave enough to say it lol
- It's "written", but with a Kiwi accent.
We tend to sound like we're saying "fush and chups" when we mean "fish and chips". Same thing.
- lol i remember when i was in fiji how kiwi dudes asked me for a pen ... they said: "hey can i borrow u a pin" lol kiwi accent is cool, but the best is the french one!!

What's the use in having access to great data if you don't have the tools to adequately search and analyze it? Judith Niederschelp, managing director of Aberdeen Group Europe, penned an article for B2B Marketing in which she discussed how the best-in-class European firms are the ones that successfully make their data more searchable.
"Our research shows that best-in-class organisations are 67 per cent more likely to have a strategy in place for data preparation which covers processes and use of technologies," writes Niederschelp. "This includes activities like data integration, data quality enhancement and data profiling, which contribute to a greater level of maturity in data environments."

Putting CFOs in the spotlight
For the fourth year in a row, Crain's Cleveland Business is honoring the area's top fiscal officers with its CFO of the Year Awards.
For the fourth year in a row, Crain's Cleveland Business is honoring the area's top fiscal officers with its CFO of the Year Awards.
Long before he ever carried a chief financial officer title, James Abel worked in the computer systems group of RCA Corp. in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a time, he says, 'when the computer industry was pretty much IBM and the seven dwarfs.'
If Mark Clark stays on as CFO, there's no telling how large Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. might become.
Laurie Brlas not only is the CFO of a public company, she's helping to manage one of the superstars of the Cleveland business arena, Cliffs Natural Resources.
Richard Boyson has been an important asset in helping Therapy Partners reduce its expenses and become more profitable and efficient since January 2008 when he joined the operation as CFO.
As CFO of Vitamix Corp., Loree W. Connors oversees the finance, accounting, legal and information technology departments. But her work -- and commitment -- goes well beyond those duties, from software implementation to internal communications.
A $1.4 billion acquisition can keep a CFO busy. Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. did exactly that in June 2006 by buying Paramount Parks, which included Kings Island in Cincinnati.
It's easy to see the fruits of Chris Hyland's efforts at Hyland Software -- partly because Mr. Hyland makes it that way. The older brother of CEO A.J. Hyland has gone out of his way to make sure employees are familiar with the company's finances.
Taking the financial reins at Ohio's largest community college at a time when state financing was slashed and tax support was dwindling due to plummeting property values seems like a lofty task. But for Craig Foltin, it was no sweat.
'Astute, efficient and cautious' aren't words you typically associate with rock 'n' roll, but they're exactly the qualities you want in a CFO. Welcome to the world of Brian S. Kenyon, vice president for finance and administration at the nonprofit Rock Hall.
James Kerr brings his own craft of fiscal stewardship to a fabric and specialty crafts retailer that continues to generate growth in an industry that has seen much retraction throughout the recession.
The construction industry downturn didn't catch Fomo Products Inc. by surprise. And CFO and executive vice president Ronald R. Kozak gets a large share of the credit for the firm's ability to weather that storm.
Since Frank Mercuri joined the Vocon architecture firm in 2006, owners Deborah Donley and Paul Voinovich credit him with modernizing the firm's financial operation so that it provides timely financial data.
Robert G. O'Brien became CFO of Forest City Enterprises Inc. on April 1, 2008, after 20 years in roles planning investment strategy, crucial for a real estate development concern, as well as financial reporting.
When the recession forced change, Mark J. Plush took the wheel and helped navigate a year of strategic redirection for Keithley Instruments Inc. in Solon.
Elected Lincoln Electric's chief financial officer in 2004 after joining the company in 1995, Vincent Petrella has played a major role in the company's recent expansion and acquisition activity.
Gregory Robinson has been chief financial officer for Safeguard Properties LLC for less than half a decade, and that's been time enough for dramatic change.
Susan Suvak does a lot for Majestic Steel. In addition to managing the steel distribution firm's finances through two recessions, Ms. Suvak manages the company's hiring functions and oversaw the expansion of the firm's executive team.
Job One for a residential real estate developer in the face of the housing crisis is getting the financing to build new housing. But NRP Group LLC in Garfield Heights is doing it and CFO Andrew Tanner is playing a major role.
Michael Szubski had an uphill battle ahead when he joined University Hospitals' financial team in 2003. The hospital system had struggled financially over the years, mounting losses and delaying any possible upgrades or expansions.
Mark R. Widmar's arrival at GrafTech International Ltd. has meant the death of debt at the maker of carbon and graphite products.
For the past 10 years, Pete Waters has played a key role in the rapid growth of Dealer Tire LLC.

This is the Simple English Proper (communion) for the Third Sunday of Lent. I generally chant this alone for the Saturday and early Sunday Masses, and then the Schola chants it at the 11:00 Mass. This is from the 9:00am Mass...the recording begins at the "Agnus Dei".
And HERE is the version by the 11:00am Schola, also starting at the "Agnus Dei"... notice how enthusiastically the assembly chants it!

The Wander Society by Keri Smith
"Society wants you to speed up, to produce, to seek material wealth. In a system that requires never-ending growth (at the cost of limited natural resources), to slow down seems anti-progress in nature. Who are you if you are not trying to 'get somewhere'? Who are you if you are not actively working toward something? As a wanderer, you're not subject to the narrative forced on you by society. You do not fall prey to trends that have nothing to do with your talents and desires. You do not strive to conform, but instead follow the life that springs from inside. You walk your own path. In this sense, you're truly free."from Keri Smith's The Wander Society
Walt Whitman wrote to "dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem." Henry David Thoreau wrote of his wish to "live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach." Such profound thinkers, whose ideas feel utterly radical in our technology-driven, fast-paced society, are the totem figures of The Wander Society, a secret "anti-"society and the mysterious subject of Keri Smith's new book. The Wander Society is the brainchild of no-one-knows-whom, stumbled upon by Smith through clues left in an old Walt Whitman volume: a sideways lightning bolt, a Latin slogan, the vague and enchanting words, "W.W. will show you the way."
"The more we follow our intuitive urges, the more we are inhabiting the life we are meant to lead, the life that will fulfill our innermost desires."
Something of an uncollected collective, The Wander Society offers itself as a solitary meeting place, a point of universal connection for anyone inspired to pursue a life of simplicity, fulfillment, and knowledge. With such suggested members throughout history as Virginia Woolf, Søren Kierkegaard, and Thich Nhat Hanh, the society mandates only a capacity for curiosity and a reverence for the natural world in order to join. The result of one's wandering – whether exploring the world around us, foraging through woods and taking new notice of city streets, maybe even venturing into the wilds of the self – is to touch on a transcendent connectedness to life, an enlightenment of sorts that was best described by Thoreau when he expressed his wish to "not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." This is echoed on a somewhat more soul-searching note by Mary Oliver in her poem When Death Comes: "When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement."
"How little do we need to lead a life that feeds our soul? What if we altered our value system so that priority was placed on soul-enhancing endeavors such as skill building, self-sufficiency, exploration, research, mind-expanding tasks? Imagine how different our society would be if we placed priority on these things instead of wealth creation, technology, and material acquisition." from Keri Smith's The Wander Society
Still, The Wander Society remains a mystery wrapped in a riddle and peppered with enigmas: wanderers announce their anonymous presence by leaving vaguely direct evidence in the public places where they've wandered. A sideways lightning bolt scratched into a telephone pole; a sticker of the beloved W.W.; a box of pamphlets, zines, and newspapers printed by members of the society; a wander badge; one of many coded symbols known only to fellow wanderers; perhaps even a few illuminating scribbles in an old volume of poetry. Many of these things are explained in Smith's book through how-tos and indexes; also available to aspiring wanderers are a selection of assignments that will take the reader out into the natural world with the objective of creating – painting, journaling, recording, photographing, or otherwise documenting what new things they discover there.
"Wanderers believe in the ability to exist and flourish wherever they are, using what they have."
While Smith gathers what she has discovered of the invisible Wander Society, the unanswerable questions of "who" and "why" begin to lose their importance. Planted, instead, is the seed of an inspiring and creative way of life: one tied not to technology and societal norms, but rather married to the more romantic notions of morality, curiosity, and discovery. Ideals that feel as though they have slipped unnoticed off the surface of our culture as our collective awareness has abandoned them. As such, the precepts of The Wander Society begin to create in its members a sense of nostalgia for a time one never lived, a lifestyle at once simpler and infinitely more abundant.
Smith's book is a manifesto of sorts, for the daydreamers and the soulful creatives – the wanderers of the world – and in this compendium of curiosities she offers readers challenges and opportunities to expand their awareness, to find both creative play and soul-work in the simple art of walking, of seeing the world through newer and younger and more joyful eyes, of "encouraging our own wild nature", of wandering through their city or town or even their own imagination. The wanderers are everywhere, they say; and everywhere is precisely their destination.
