Leo - San Diego Baby Photographer
Meet Leo - a beautiful, barely two week old little boy. When he left with his parents after the session I have to say, my heart hurt a little bit - I could've kept him for forever.
Leo's mom have been following me on Instagram for a while and knew when Leo was born she wanted to hire me for his newborn pictures. She called me the week he was born and we managed to squeeze them in the following week.
Side note: I was so excited when I found out his name was Leo as one of my uncles on my dad's side is Leo. It's not a very common name I don't think and it's so fun to see it used again.
Anyway, let me tell you about this newborn session. Leo came in, sleeping soundly in his car seat. He woke up slightly as we unbuckled him and undressed him to prepare him for his newborn pictures. While we managed to feed him a little bit, this dude was so sleepy he fell right back asleep. And he stayed a sleep for his entire session.
He was such an easy little baby to work with and I am in-love with his newborn pictures. His parents ordered a folio box with 10 if his images and I cannot wait to hand deliver it to them so they can forever treasure this special time in their lives.
Well sit back and prepare your heart to swell a little bit extra because these images are sweet as candy! (oh gosh - that sounds so cheesy, but it's so true!)

When you look at news about the lottery, you may see notes about multiple time winners. With every multiple time winner, you get a new way to look at the lotto. The reason why they win may escape you at first, but there is something that they will mention every time. There is a tip that is hidden in the win of every multiple type winner. The reasons why they are able to gain the upper hand in a game that is often said to be too hard to win is simple, consistency.
In order to tackle the lotto in any angle, you need to work with winning jackpots on a regular basis. This starts with playing as often as you can. That doesn't mean that you should spend all your money on this. Instead, think of it in terms of how often you play and within the consistent manner that requires you to move forward. That means that if there are 5 drawings a week, you should play 5 drawings, and keep with the numbers that you want to win.
If you're going to play scratchers, you will want to keep playing. You cannot win if you don't stay put. Keep consistent, set a budget, and don't stray from the path of being a player of the lotto. That is going to help you achieve the big win, guaranteed. Just keep pushing.

Release Date: 22 June 2016
D&A College has been awarded the LGBT Charter Mark which recognises the measures taken by staff and students to 'mainstream' LGBT issues and provide a more inclusive service.
Awarded by LGBT Youth Scotland, this accolade pays tribute to the efforts made to promote equality and diversity at D&A College.
"Gaining this charter mark reinforces the college's commitment to treating all people fairly and with respect," said Carlene Cura, learner engagement officer, who spearheaded the college bid for charter mark status.
"Rather than looking at LGBT students in isolation we have worked hard to encompass everyone as part of the whole student body."
D&A College promotes equality with a number of procedures, protocols and events,
Working with students, the learner engagement team supported the college LGBT+ group in the publication of a book entitled, 'Coming Out'.
Each year college staff organise Respect Week, a festival of diversity with invited speakers, demonstrations, presentations from a range of groups, not only LGBT but also celebrating different nationalities, cultures and groups representing people with disabilities.
"Winning this award shows that D&A College is a welcoming and supportive destination for everyone, said Carlene.
Angela Houghton, of LGBT Youth Scotland, presented the award to D&A College Principal Grant Ritchie.
"Gaining Charter Mark status endorses our commitment to encourage only the best attributes in our students," said the college principal.
"Tolerance and acceptance, matched with an understanding attitude can play a huge role in society and must be not only encouraged but enshrined in everything we do at college."

Goong-Dahl (Bong Tae-Gyu) is the unluckiest person alive. So unlucky in fact, he is constantly being bullied and abused. He signs up for a year-long clinical study that analyzes people who have been affected in this way and helps these "rejects" mesh back into society. After a large number of previous transfers, Goong-Dahl finds himself at another new school where he runs into Yeon Seong (Kim Tae-Hyeon), also a graduate from the self-help clinic. Seong brings him up to speed on the school, how things are done, and how he's managed to do so well there. His tactic of survival is like that of the sea. Basically, pick on students smaller and weaker than you and you'll get by just fine. To test this theory for himself, Goong-Dahl intervenes with some punks led by Kang Jae-Koo (Ha Seok-Jin), who happens to be harassing Choi Min-Ah (Jeong Koo-Yeon), Dahl's instant crush. So in his blind love for Min-Ah, Dahl has instantly angered the toughest kid in the school who now wants to destroy Dahl on the rooftop after school. Fearful of the impending beat-down which is sure to keep his reject status intact, Dahl with the help of his buddy Seong, now have to figure out a way to get out of this painful situation before the school day ends.
Well, if you've seen the 1987 movie, Three O'Clock High, then you've pretty much seen See You After School. Nevertheless, it still receives passing marks as an enjoyable movie. Technically it's fine and easy to watch, but it starts off rather slow with Dahl coming off as a dork and basically sucking at everything life has to offer. Slowly but surely, he gets his chance to shine as most of the humorous moments in the film fall entirely upon his shoulders. He does a great job in taking control and making the scenes result in a laugh. There are some CG touches to add to the jokes, as well as some slap-stick humor, but it's not enough to take the slack off of Bong Tae-Gyu. The supporting cast is all but non-existent, which makes the drama really lose it's punch. Unfortunately, a movie like See You After School really needs that dramatic element to work in order to make the comedic aspects stand out even more, and sadly that balance is never reached here. The film tries to sneak as many jokes in as possible near the end which really just hurts the movie all the more because it makes it drag on. See You After School isn't a bad movie, it just has one too many loose elements that keep it from being great. The geek and bully formula is a strong one, and we as an audience are sure to see more incarnations of it. Maybe we'll get 'em next time. (Converter)

Dear Parishioners,
As we struggle through to the end of Lent and enter into the even more intense prayer and fasting of Holy Week and the Triduum. We naturally take stock and question whether our Lenten journey has borne fruit. Trust me, it is natural to feel a bit let down and frustrated about how little you have accomplished. C.S. Lewis had some powerful thoughts about this:
"Yes, we may be frustrated by how God works, but if we really understood Him, He wouldn't be God. A God that we can grasp totally and pull into our hands is a God that can be manipulated to what we want Him to be, and that is no God at all. The continual restlessness of our lives is the struggle to grow closer to a God that we cannot comprehend. This is not a fruitless struggle, this is not a power struggle where God plays games with us, but the very fact that we are never to find total fulfillment in our lives on earth shows that we are not made for this world, but for another."
When we struggle in prayer, we struggle with God and ourselves. In that struggle, we must trust that God will lead us where he knows we need to go. The way might be surprising to us, we may feel that we are not even advancing. God wants us to trust Him, to call Him Father and place our hope in Him. He understands that we don't understand. Our frustration itself reveals God and his work in our life to us.
Take heart, and continue the struggle—its reward is Easter Joy and His abundant Mercy, which prefigures our participation in the Paschal Feast of the Kingdom of God.
Love and Peace,
Fr. Liam Quinlan

So I finally bought a web address (through Wordpress) chose a theme (Editor) and launched it. The first page you see when you open it is the "About Me" and easily accessible through a sidebar menu are my resume, writing samples, design samples, and online media samples. I uploaded a picture of myself, edited a few things, and then added it to a few job applications. Hopefully having this available will help me to get a job.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Faith Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of faith as a basis for knowledge in religion and in one area of knowledge from the TOK diagram. It is said, "When you have come to the edge of all light that you know and are about to drop off into the darkness Of the unknown, Faith is knowing One of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or You will be taught to fly." For as long as man has been known to exist, there has been a development of belief systems formed to explain unknown concepts, explain emotion and reason, deliver purpose, and/or promote happiness.
Over time, the belief systems have been constructed into organized religions around the world, which about 85.5% follow. With these belief systems comes the aspect of faith. In this day and age, faith has adopted a variety of meanings and connotations; however, our understanding of faith can be defined as a determined and strong belief/trust, often without proof or evidence.
Faith as a whole requires a great amount of emotional and logical proof confidence; I will be exploring the ways in which faith as a basis of knowledge in religion is derived, in addition to extending this exploration into the role of language and sense perception in faith. Thus, I will also be paralleling the role of human sciences, (i.e. psychology and philosophy) as an area of knowledge. As a result, the several weaknesses and strengths of faith will be identified in this analysis. Many modern individuals, isolated from the depth of religion, have come to the false conclusion that faith is the belief in a certain individual or identified entity. However, they have overlooked the main foundation of many religions around the world. With Christianity, the main belief is faith in God and the claim that Jesus is the son of God sent from Heaven to salvage those who believe in Him. Hindus and various other eastern religions believe in dharma, the universal truth and harmonic law of nature and the inner and outer world of the soul and consciousness. Judaism is focused on Moses and the scriptures such as the Holy Torah as sent by God.
Buddhism believes in the purity of the consciousness as a path to enlightenment. The word "God", itself can be ambiguous and flexible, as many believe God to be a human-like divine figure, while others believe God to be a state of mental elevation within the self. God in totality can be concluded as faith in a higher form. Faith then is stimulated by two processes; follow then faith, and faith then follow. The first process has been the most common throughout history and present day. Most children are born into the religions of their family and lead their lives following, thus possibly developing pure faith for that religion as they are taught the different principals and beliefs, and align their life accordingly. If you look to any rural Indian village, the individuals still conduct the same rituals they did hundreds of years ago, they chant the same mantras, and conduct the same pujas. In consequence, religion itself does not become a separate entity, but a wholesome foundation and structure to their lives.
Religion has also created the social norms they live by, affecting aspects such as marriage, children, food, and code of conduct and therefore has withstood the test of time and continues to thrive today. One dilemma however in this situation is blind faith. Blind faith can be classified as ignorance. Blind can often be consequence to nurture and parental force. While I was living in America, I had many friends who attended church every Sunday, as well as went to Christmas mass, and celebrated Easter. However, in church they would be on their cell phones, during Christmas they would look for presents, and Easter would be a childish search for candy hidden by the Easter bunny. Now, the glorification of the pagan rituals intertwined is of no deflecting from the essence of Christianity.
However, if one questioned these teenagers what religion they follow, they would recite- "Christian." In contrast, if one asked them the history of their religion or the basic teachings of Jesus, most would stare blankly. As the many distractions in our life increase, we draw less attention to that which has been taught in generations before us, however, neglect to put those feelings in action, and blindly follow the traditions set before us. However, in later stages of children's lives, after they have follow their religion for many years, it is common that they turn to religion in interest and necessity, often when an emotional event takes place, or a life-changing experience. In that way, the notion of blind faith is then destroyed, as the individuals reconcile themselves with what they've grown up in. The second way of the formation of faith is faith then follow- stating that one develops a faith for that realm of thought and then begins to follow it.
In our world today, there is knowledge pulsating from over corner. With help of developed technology and the internet, individuals have access to all kinds of ideas and famous thinkers who proposed them. Beginning with Socrates vision of the dream world and real world, as well as the new agnostic ideals present. Therefore, people have the capability of aligning their own personal belief and actions with the religion they most hold true. For example, a man named Bill Joy, now extremely active in PETA and other animal rights organizations, rebelled against the religion he grew up following. As a child, he attended church as well as different camps that his parents sent him to. Among one of those camps, was a farming camp in which the children were taught to milk cows as well as kill pigs and cows for meat to be sent to the industries. Because he was only exposed to one single belief, Joy never questioned his surroundings.
As he grew older however, he opened himself to the different ideas people presented about animal cruelty and the science behind the emotion of animals. In hearing and learning this new information, his journey began on the path of eastern thought and ultimately is currently following the Hindu religion whole-heartedly. In this respect, blind faith is thus avoided. However, the system of discovery may also be flawed as well. In many western schools, such as in the U.K. and Britain, students are taught free-thinking, individualism, and questioning of the world around us. These ideals were derived from history's many incidents of society under the victimization of social norms and absolute powers. America, in its glorification of freedom and justice for all, schools urge students to delve into the knowledge they a given and find their own truth, as well as stand up for that truth in leadership and government.
While these ideals seem justified in practice, they have lead to a western bubble created in many minds. This consequence can also be seen in our school system as well in the subject of Theory of Knowledge. In Theory of Knowledge itself, students are trained to question- question their surroundings, question the knowledge that they obtain, question their daily actions, as other classes have taught in the modern educated world. However, in creating a mindset of questioning, we've created a society of rejection. We've rejected our government, rejected our surroundings, rejected our identities, and rejected our history. This process, of course, is necessary for progress, however disregards a human entity that many believe in- spirituality. Spirituality itself is extremely supportive of acceptance of the self. In questioning and placing emphasis on the logic of our education and minds, they have disregarded the emotional aspect of faith and religion.
Psychologically, we've placed more emphasis on our reason than our emotion. Therefore, disregarding this significant human entity, it has refrained the modern educated world from engaging in emotional connection to the divine. Emotion as a way to connect with religion has been criticized and "disproved" however; many do not give the aspect of emotional connection to religion validity. For example, the Hindu religion represents an eternal love for Krishna. With this love, comes trust in him. Krishna is represented as a beautiful blue figure or a baby, tapping into of course the maternal instinct of woman. Most Christians long ago, have a loving connection towards Jesus, their savior. In the study of human sciences, scientists have defined that the spiritual consciousness is essential and true in human life, and religions have been a pathway to that connection.
In a study conducted recently, it was concluded humans use only 10% of their capable minds, in the other 90% lays abilities our world classifies as supernatural. Most religions ranging from Buddhism to Christianity to Taoism, place emphasis on meditation, glorifying the spiritual aspect of human life. With emphasis on logic however, spirituality is mostly rejected, regardless of the proof given by many scientists. Overall, faith as a way of knowing can be a gateway to knowledge of the world and to the self, but can also give humans an opportunity to engage in blind faith, and disregard knowledge in ignorance. Psychologically, humans are prone to both, but in the modern day are urged to reject many essential aspects including the emotional divine connection.

By Willow Grier
CALGARY — If Mammoth Grove were a real place, it would be a place filled with the perfume of ancient cedar trees, towering almost endlessly above. It would be a moss-covered thicket where branches tangle and intertwine overhead like capillaries in our own bodies. In this grove, where roots run deep, and bark is broad and grooved as though it were carved with earthen tools, golden light trickles down from tiny breaks in the treetops. Here, in the placid silence, the stillness would give birth to thunderous music, which steadily would grow to match the size of its colossal redwood parents.
Channelling the primordial energy of these vast terrene sources, Mammoth Grove initially came into being in 2010. However, much like the crawling progress of forest growth, the project took a while to come to maturity. The band cites the addition of bassist Tad Hynes several years in as being when they really started to hit their stride, both in jam sessions and in live performances. Their new album, Sun Catcher, is a cohesive and masterful assemblage of psychedelic rock spanning the conception of MG to the present day.
"This album has been coming for a long time. We began making these songs when Devan (Forster, guitar and vocals) first started the band," says drummer Kurtis Urban. "It took a while, but we wanted to do it right and not compromise on anything."
Forster adds, "We've done basement recordings before, but this is the first proper album. It's a great representation of where we are and hopefully where we're going."
Highlighting the band's views on how the quickest route is not always the best, the second song on Sun Catcher, "Long Road," celebrates taking time on the path less travelled; in this case, an old forest road. The album as a whole is full of stunning earthy imagery and richly droning jams. Being heavily inspired by Black Sabbath and psych-rock bands like Dead Meadow, the band "has a lot of freedom in it."
"It stems from big, heavy '70s rock and thick, doomy, stoner music," Forster describes. The band weave together lush instrumentals with vocals that journey from melodic and hypnotic to powerful and resonant, creating a sound that falls somewhere between vastly cosmic and deeply rooted. When initially searching for a name for the project, Forster received some clarity after visiting Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island.
"[When I was there], I awoke again. The love of nature just went into my blood. I think I just thought of mammoths being big and powerful and ancient, and usually kinda slow. And a grove being a special place in the forest. It had the atmosphere and the imagery. Then I picked up my guitar and instantly wrote the song 'Mammoth Grove,' and it just felt like things were coming together."
Outside of the magic and mysticism of the forest, MG gains much of their internal fire from their chemistry-rich jam sessions.
"The most important thing is the feeling we get when we jam together," describes Urban. "When the three of us get in a room, we usually just start playing without even talking. Just connecting within that psych groove."
Emulating improv-heavy bands like California legends Earthless, many of their structured songs leave room to play around in a live setting.
"Our songs tend to take shape based on how we're feeling at the time," Urban explains. "From show to show, we will play the same song and sometimes it comes out super mellow and groovy, and other times really heavy. It has to do with the energy in the room, and the response we get when we're playing it live."
Collaborating with local artist Carly Hynes, the group has incorporated a showpiece Sun Catcher as a visual representation of their album of the same name. The large glowing agate slice, surrounded by intricately flowing rays of woven fibre, is a part of the multi-faceted performance aspect. Looking to connect with audiences not only sonically, but in a tactile, kinetic, and visual sense, Mammoth Grove are developing the immersive live experience.
Foster emphasizes, "Live music is coming back, and it's our job to get [the audience's] attention and give them more than they expected."
Get lost in the experience of Mammoth Grove at their album release party on November 20th at the Palomino in Calgary. Tune in to CJSW 90.9 FM's Nocturntable at 8 p.m. on November 7th as Mammoth Grove will be guesting on the show.AB, Alberta, CJSW, Mammoth Grove, Nocturntable, Palomino

The Best and Easiest Leek and Potato Soup
This soup is perfect for those cold and lazy nights in!
This is my tried and true recipe for the best and easiest Leek and Potato Soup! You can have this awesome soup on your table within 40 minutes, from prep to cook time. What could be better?!
Now that's what I call an awesome recipe!
If you're a lazy person like I am, but loves to cook then this is the best recipe. As it's quick, simple and you can just leave it to do its own thing.
In this article I'll also give you a few of the tips and tricks that I use to prepare my veggies.
Also not to be missed is the optional step you can do, to take this soup to the next level of flavour town!
So if this sounds like your kind of recipe then keep reading!
What you'll need:
1 large onion, diced
550g Leeks, trimmed and sliced
600g Potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 Litre Hot Chicken Stock (1 stock cube in 1 litre of water)
2 Tablespoons Oil
2 Cloves of Garlic (You can add more if you wish)
Salt and Pepper
1. Heat the oil in a large pan, and add the onion. Fry this off for five to six minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure to only cook the onions until they are translucent and soft. You do not want any colour, as it will affect the end colour of the soup.
Optional Step. Add eight chopped rashers of bacon, and fry for another four minutes, stirring occasionally. Again try not to let it get any colour.
2. Add sliced leeks, chopped potatoes and the stock to the pan. Bring to the boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, check the potatoes are cooked by using a knife. If the potatoes slide off of the knife, then they are ready! If they stick a little, then leave to simmer and check again in five to ten minutes.
3. Take off of the heat and using a hand blender, blend the soup up until it produces a thick and creamy consistency. If you like a more chunky soup, then blend only half of the soup and mix together. Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
This soup if best served with thick-cut crusty bread.
I really hope you enjoy making and eating this soup!
This is going to be a returning recipe to your dinner table!
Tips for prepping veggies:
For the onions, I find it best to chop off one end, keeping the hairy end (root) on! After peeling, cut the onion in half down the root. Place one half of the onion flat, place your hand flat on top of the onion. Cut two or three horizontal lines through the onion. Then put your hand like a claw and make cuts vertically on the onion, I tend to use the lines on the onion as a guide. Now slice along the onion, and you will have perfectly diced onion!
For the leeks, remember to wash them with water beforehand. Peel off any outer layers that are damaged. Trim the tops and tails of the leeks and remove them. From this point you can prepare the leeks in any way you want.
For the garlic, there is no need to try and peel a clove straight away. Pick a clove, place the knife flat on top of it and hit this a couple of times with the heel of your hand. The garlic will be slightly crushed, and be coming out of its peel. You can now remove the peel whole.

Despite being a small team here at CCS, we are in fact members of a much larger family including the roastery Kaffa, online coffee suppliers Kaffa Butikk, and the cafés Java and Mocca. The first three companies share a space in the former Luxo lamp factory in Oslo, and baristas from the cafés often join us for training with Head Barista, Tom Kuyken.
We have seen quite a bit of Tom lately as he is using the space here to train for the upcoming Norwegian national Brewers Cup in Kristiansand. With only 3 days to go before the March 8 competition, Tom is doing little else.
Preparing for the Brewer's Cup
Those in the coffee industry who have competed in this, or any, competition know well how much work goes into the preparation. Tom has invested hours of his time, choosing the right brewing device, training with his coaches Rune Åldstedt and Lise Marie Rømo, of Kaffa Butikk and Kaffa respectively, practicing his presentation, brewing, brewing, brewing, and selecting the right cups to serve the coffee. Tom consulted a ceramics expert on the best vessels to present and enjoy his chosen coffee, and decided on elegant and unique porcelain cups from MK Ceramics in Copenhagen. "An exquisite coffee is made more exquisite when served in a beautiful cup," Tom said.
Tom's challenge is a big one. He will be up against a coffee professional who has dominated the field, winning the nationals four times and the World Brewers Cup competition in 2015. However Tom, with support from Kaffa and the rest of the family, is mounting a serious campaign to challenge the reigning champ. With the spectacular coffee he has chosen, and his dedication these last months, he stands a very good chance.
The coffee, sourced by CCS, is a Sidra Natural, part of the Heroes Series from La Palma y El Tucán (LP&ET).
On the the front lines for this innovative partner of ours in Cundinamarca, Colombia, is "The Elite Squad," a group of ten women who are all heads of their households and living in the region. These women are the LP&ET coffee picking team, an finely trained and experienced group who wear nail polish of a particular deep shade of red to help them identify only the ripest cherries for harvest.
Sidra Variety
The Sidra variety is a rare cross between Typica and Bourbon. It is vulnerable to coffee leaf rust, but has adapted extremely well to the microclimate on its lot on the LP&ET farm, producing some of the best cups the team has tasted. Even with humidity reaching 90% and higher, and lower oxygen levels due to the altitude, the plant has adapted so well that it's now producing over 400 grams of parchment coffee per year. This is extremely low compared to the national average of 800g to 1kg of parchment coffee per tree, however it is a high yield compared to the other high quality varietals grown at high altitude.
The Sidra tree can grow to over 4 metres in 3 years, but the LP&ET team prune theirs in order to make it easier for pickers to reach all the cherries. The architecture of the Sidra resembles the Gesha tree, with branches that exit the trunk close to 45 degrees. The leaves are a light green color and spear-like in shape.
LP&ET Washed Processing
The processing period in this part of Cundinamarca is during the rainy season, and the farm can experience humidity levels of 90% or more. The humidity and the rain keep the temperature down and affect the amount of light the trees receive, which LP&ET believe causes just the right amount of stress on the plants to positively affect the concentration of organic acids and storage of sugars.
LP&ET have both high and low tech solutions to this problem. They dry the coffee on raised beds in green houses fitted with thermostats that automatically turn on fans if the humidity gets too high. They also dry their coffee in very thin layers, and have a well-trained team who regularly rake and rotate the coffee to avoid fungal contamination while drying.
LP&ET Natural Processing
Two years ago Colombia began experiencing the harshest affects of the El Niño weather phenomenon which sent warm currents across parts of the country. A severe drought, accompanied by the highest temperatures recorded in 136 years, wreaked havoc on farms across the country. However, for LP&ET it presented a rare opportunity. The higher temperatures and lower levels of humidity opened a small window of time to process natural coffees. The team jumped into action. The result is this unique and limited cup.
Tom chose this coffee for his competition because it is so different to every other coffee he has experienced. While Gesha is the go-to coffee in brewing competitions, Tom is betting his Sidra will stand out from the pack. This natural coffee is very clean and sweet with strawberry candy, rhubarb, jam, dried mango, floral hibiscus and tart cherry notes.
CCS has sold out of the Sidra Natural, but we do have a few bags of other limited edition Sidra Honeys, Lactics and Mixed lots, plus some other spectacular coffees in the La Palma y El Tucán Heroes Series. See our Colombian offers here and order a sample.
If you're in Oslo, you can also pick up a bag of beans roasted here at Kaffa, available in Java or Mocca.
Go Tom!
Update 10th March, 2018
Tom is the new Norwegian Brewers Cup champion!!!

Today I have been on the duquesne incline . This is a vintage funicular going up Mount Washington in Pittsburgh. One ride is 2$, and a return trip is 4$ (I have read something else on some websites, therefore I want to get this straight).
This is the lower station, next to the river and close to downtown Pittsburgh.
Running the incline plane.
Touristy folks inside the car.
Here we go up (well, I am cheating, I have already arrived at the top when I took this picture!).
This is the view from from atop Mount Washington. The incline is run with electricity since 1932, but before that (since 1877) it used steam power. The motor driving both cars at the same time (always one up, and the other one down) has 75 hp. There is a 10 hp backup engine in case the main engine fails. Cars are pulled using steal cords (one acts as a backup).

text: After Vrvana attended this year's annual conference in France, Virtual Laval, Nicolas Germouty wrote an article giving feedback on his experience. We began with Epic's famous Showdown demo giving him a taste of virtual reality and he was impressed with the perfectly executed head tracking that required no external help but only the two frontal cameras on the Totem. Which led to trying the passthrough mode, allowing anyone wearing the HMD to switch from VR to reality without removing it, or even fading half-way from one world to the other so he didn't feel completely isolated from the rest of the world. His associates were also very pleased with our AR function with its 120 degrees field of view. Augmented reality is definitely not a new concept, but with Totem, you can see a life-size hologram which like he said, immerses you in a science-fiction universe.

Author and historian Jeff Burbank has a terrific new book that should be part of any Classic Las Vegas fan's library.
The book covers a variety of places that aren't there any more including some very familiar landmarks and beloved local haunts.
It is available on Amazon (I received it as a Christmas present this year and devoured it before the day was done) so please be sure to check it out!

Key Words
If you love Me, you will obey what I command. John 15:1
These words, from anyone but God, would be manipulative and dangerous. But His ownership of me warrants such a preserving love.
It's not that He's saying to me, Do everything I command to prove that you love Me.
In that lies the essence of all religion. It tries to earn love and acceptance. It always strives to lay hold of temporary accomplishments and struggles to stay above water. It is often content with crumbs because the real food of life seems desperately out of reach. It camps inside the sombre lines looking longingly out at what is forbidden, not wanting to risk the loss of its rickety shelter or suffer the searing shame of being discovered; falling prey to many border crossing escapades when it thinks no one is looking.
I know—my abandoned tent pegs are probably still stuck in the ground there.
But He wasn't saying that. He wasn't soliciting mindless allegiance–a dynasty of drones.
He was saying,
Obedience follows love for Me the way goslings are glued to their mother.
Obeying Me is the geyser that gushes out of a heart bursting with love for Me.
He meant,
A heart that loves Me has no other flame to warm itself with in this cold, dark world—and it will stoke its fires often.
His is not a call to die under a dictatorship, but an invitation to live in freedom from religious works.
Free to be me, in His love,
opens the way to living in submission.
I'm a Node, You're a Node
It was blizzardy when I left class early. The wind pelted the few exposed centimeters of my face and jabbed at my eyes as I followed the other wayfarers into the warm refuge of the bus terminal. Still half an hour before departure—I thought I'd spent more time at the drug store than I had.
The grime accosted me the first time I had to wait inside—months ago; but now it seems normal, inviting even.
I walk around and look through windows at nothing in particular. I watch the others without trying to be obvious or ill-mannered—people make me curious. I check my phone to see if my daughter messaged me and take a seat along the back beneath the window; that way I can catch what's going on. Also, there are a few empty seats in a row.
Mostly it amazes me. The cacophonous quiet. That so many people could be in such a small space and only a spattered few are engaged in some kind of conversation. There's a double row of seats facing me like someone set them up to play musical chairs. People slip in–trying not to make contact with the person next to them, as though they might detonate. Some are pacing, some passing through—but almost all are busy button pushing or scrolling across the lighted screens of their gadgets. I'd like to blame technology for our lack of horizontal contact, but if I'm real honest, I don't need technology to keep me from not striking up a conversation with a complete stranger. Still, there's something surreal about seeing so many people hooked up to the heavens—completely oblivious to what's going on around them.
I think about what I was reading in computer class—about networks. They can be hierarchical or peer-to-peer; and all the devices connected to them are nodes. A woman walks by in front of me looking like an angel, her face glowing from the notebook device she's looking into as she goes. She's a node, I think to myself with a smile. We're all nodes, connected to something.
I enjoy being here today; watching people go by, waiting for my bus. Sometimes I listen to sermons on my Mp3 player, but for the moment I'm contented just holding God's hand with my heart. His is a secure connection–hierarchical and peer-to-peer at the same time. And I'm just a little node… learning to be content, even when the ride (as it often will) takes me places I'd rather not go.
Hanging On My Prayer Line
This morning, as I was hanging my laundry on the line in descending order of weight and size, I took my time to drape the last few articles—with stains—facing the sun. Nothing can disintegrate mustard spots and fade the vilest blotches of blood like a June morning's piercing rays. Last week I hung a white tunic up with a mango mark that hadn't come out in the wash, and hours later I reeled it back in without spot or wrinkle. Okay, it still had a few wrinkles—we're at the mercy of the wind for that—but the yellow fleck had forever fled from the sun's penetrating gaze.
That wasn't the first time this morning I'd aired my dirty laundry, though.
I hauled my basket full of soiled cares and sullied concerns to my prayer place and washed them in the water of His Word. I let His mercy pour healing agents into the rinse as I scrubbed every anxiety over the washboard of His wisdom and commands. Ours is no quick-cycle chemical cleansing—prayer is a 'roll up your sleeves' kind of rewarding work.
Sometimes I get up from on my face before God fully cleansed and refreshed. Other times, like this morning, I find there are things that just don't come out in the wash.
So I hung them up on my faith-line. I tethered them to mercy, and secured them with trust—carefully positioning each one before the Son's face. He sees them, I know. They don't stand a chance against His penetrating gaze.
Clouds might get in the way, this is true. But out there they will stay until He comes through.
I like to think that prayer is a little like doing my laundry. I have to keep up with it or I don't have anything to wear. Sometimes a gentle rinse cycle is all I need. Some requests get put through the wringer. And some things just have to hang and dry.
… purify yourselves and change your clothes. Genesis 35:2
Let the Little Children… Not Number Our Days
So I'm sitting outside the other day with Loco and one of the neighbour girls who often comes over to visit, and she turns to me and asks, "Can I have your dog when you die?"
Ah, I'm thinking to myself, the innocence of children. She thinks my little Loco (who's already nearly ten in people years—making her eligible for Old Age Security in dog years, if they actually paid it out to dogs [I'll have to write a letter to Peta]) is going to outlive me.
"Oh," I say, "Loco's ten years old." But she keeps looking at me for an answer, so I continue, "She'll most likely only live to be about 15." She continues to look at me as I rock back and forth in my porch chair, feeling now like I should be knitting socks and pulling a shawl over my shoulders.
"Um, do I actually look to you like I'm going to die before that?"
She nods. And with childlike sincerity adds, "Yes… well, except for your hair."
Definitely not getting the dog. And, although I did enjoy the rest of our time together (I have THE most darling neighbours), all I could think about was getting back inside so I could look in a mirror and scrutinize the latest attack the aging army had launched against me unawares. Should I have invested all that money in a good straightener when a set of curlers was more my speed?
Suddenly, how old I looked to the rest of the world mattered very much to me.
I have to admit, though, getting older isn't the struggle I thought it was going to be—it's those other areas of my life where people's opinions have either validated or demeaned who I am; those areas set in stone, cemented into something sculpted by what others have said about or to me–and I find the Christian life is somewhat of a perplexing paradox at times.
We have within us an inner witness to the forgiveness, life and promises of our Creator—while outward circumstances bear down with such force they threaten to snuff it all out. And, if that isn't bad enough, those looking on can threaten to annihilate us completely by their erroneous assessments—judging who we are by our situations.
True, we sometimes bring the storm on ourselves, and often we're just reaping what we planted—but even then, when our hearts are repentant God is with us, and we must hold on to that truth without ever letting go, because that, alone, is our lifeline to getting through. We must learn to swim against the onslaught of opinion.
A man who's fallen overboard and is floundering to keep his head above water in the middle of the ocean does not worry about how his hair looks as he clings to the lifesaver tossed out to him. God is not concerned about how well we impress others as we 'work out our salvation with fear and trembling;' clinging to what His Word says about us as the umbilical cord keeping us securely connected to the womb of faith.
Joseph had to do it. So did Job. David did it, too. All of them looking pretty insignificant in the eyes of their contemporaries—suffering scorn and contempt. One thing they didn't do, though, and that was listen to popular opinion, not even their own. They believed what God said about them; they chose the path less travelled—and that, like the famous poet said—made all the difference.
Feeling a little boxed in by other people's opinions? Don't give up, God has a lot to say about who we are…
even when the rest of the world has our days numbered.
Spring Cleaning
Ah, spring—and a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of…
Mud, of course.
The snow's finally beginning to melt around here, and underneath it all is lots of muck—in my front yard, anyway.
Looks like there'll be a little more excavation going on, and in the meantime we get to enjoy everything the bulldozer trudged up.
I'm saying enjoy because the neighbourhood kids and I have been finding really cool rocks to paint. We spent the afternoon out front with newspapers spread across the patio blocks–and painted everything from ladybugs and bees to Easter eggs and each other.
I must say, Haley's execution of me is remarkable—it looks just like me. Of course, Sammy doesn't think so, but these children are too young to appreciate the beauty of painting a fresh face on every morning.
I figure, if you're stuck with a front yard full of rocks and dirt, you might as well make the most of it.
We sure did.
It's going to take some work, though, to get the lawn looking good again—wouldn't want the front yard like this the rest of the summer. Want to go back to the way things were, before it all got dug up.
I'm wanting some other things to go back to the way they were, too–before some things inside of me got all dug up; when nothing was more important than the nearness of God.
"If you, Israel, will return,
then return to me,"
declares the LORD (Jeremiah 4:1).
We'll have to rake up all the soil, dig out the rocks and get rid of the weeds and other debris that was churned up.
"If you put your detestable idols out of my sight
and no longer go astray…
It will all need to be levelled out before planting grass seed,
"Break up your unplowed ground
and do not sow among thorns.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD,
circumcise your hearts…
Spring's a good time to get things ready; to realize–some of those mountains that just won't budge?
Can only be taken out one little stone at a time…
The Perils of Slaying a Giant
While everyone may have been thrilled about Goliath going down, not everyone was thrilled about who God chose to accomplish it, and his unyielding faith. David's brothers despised him, and later Saul's envy was so out of control David spent years in hiding and constant flight.
Are we willing for God's deliverance to come through the faithful hand of someone else? Someone whose life might cast a shadow over our own–and might that shadow look a little like envy or contempt?
Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag…
I go down to the valley
where Goliath begs to be felled;
from where he is a mite
scaling the footprint of God.
But he has become a giant,
and I find solace in the crowd;
comfort in the collective
cowardice. All of us
tethered to the same insecurities;
fastened by familiar fright.
United we stand
against our own success.
Pity the poor lad who dares
divide us asunder
with just a fist full of faith
and a pocket full of rocks.
The Right Focus
My friend, Claudia, got a very nice camera for Christmas from her loving hubby. And just because she's naive enough to believe I know something about photography, she sent me a few of her practice shots for feedback.
I think Claudia is a natural picture taker. She has a good eye–and the more she gets out there and shoots, the more that talent is going to shine through.
I couldn't help but be captivated by two of the pictures, though–and only because they were so ordinary…
…in the most extraordinary way.
Sometimes we miss the beauty of simple things. A cozy neighbourhood corner sporting a spiffy red stop sign is so comforting close up–it reminds me that we should all have a place to go back to at the end of the day.
And who ever takes the time to stare at a chimney? It pours out heat from the hearth of happy homes.
Even the most mundane things look appealing with the right focus.
That's the way it is with us, too. None of us are really all that, not really. But when we get our focus on God, and He gets us into focus–well, He makes us look a lot more appealing than we ever could have otherwise.
But He has a good eye–and He focuses on making the most out of ordinary people.
Life in the 'Loco' Lane
I'm hoping to be just like my dog, Loco, when I grow up. Not that I want to bark at strangers and follow myself around the house all day—just that I'd like to be as consistently happy as she always is.
From the moment I surface beneath my mound of blankets to hit the snooze button for the first time each morning, until I submerge again into the sandman's shadows—she's happy. And she's not just 'happy' happy, she's ecstatically thrilled about everything. If I get up from reading, a wagging tail propels her into spirals around my feet. Any sudden movement brings on a whole new carnival of contentment; a gala celebration.
If she goes outside she's overjoyed. When she comes back in she tears up the floorboards with her enthusiasm. Even if she's sound asleep and I slip quietly by, her tail—as if stirred by my overwhelming presence—wags at my passing. She's no less enthusiastic about everything life has to offer than she was nearly a decade ago when she christened the threshold of every happy moment at the altars of our affection, with her wiggling wee bursting bladder.
Everything with her is as new as a freshly spanked baby's bottom—she lives on the delivery ward of blessings about to be birthed; the cusp of perpetual penchant.
She's the sound of an ice-cream truck on a sunny Saturday morning. She's new furniture and old books, slapstick comedy, clowns and every happy thing you could conjure up.
If she were a drink she'd be champagne; if she could fly she'd alter the earth's orbit. She lives life like it's some huge pie eating contest—gobbling up all she can before time runs out.
And, it's not as though she's any stranger to hardship, either.
Oh, the troubles she's seen…
She just knows how to bounce back from it is all. She doesn't know anything about letting circumstances keep her down.
So, yeah—that's pretty much the way I'd like to embrace the rest of my life. Living like it's a walk in the park, because truthfully—sometimes it's more like a walk down the plank.
And as much as we'd like them to be—trite and shallow canine comparisons, however clever—are not enough to keep some of the very sobering situations and circumstances from seeping inside and petrifying the very marrow of us.
We can't always tear up the floorboards to the next adventure when the next adventure is another disappointment or letdown. Sooner or later, exuberance buckles beneath the last straw. It's not all that easy to wag your tail in that place, much less sit up and beg for more. But God doesn't expect us to, either. He promised to find us wherever we've been scattered to—bring us back, bind up our injuries and strengthen us. That's where I've been lately—getting all bandaged up and better.
I can't help feeling more exuberant about life again, though I'm nowhere near altering the earth's orbit yet. Some of those circumstances and situations are just as foreboding.
Still–I aspire to live life like my loco little dog–in a carnival of contentment; on the cusp of perpetual penchant–bouncing back from the brink like it was just a nasty old bath or something.
This is a cleave poem. I was first introduced to them while spending a lot of time on a writing/reviewing/critiquing site. This genre, created by Phuoc Tan-Diep, was introduced to the site by a very talented writer. I've since discovered that the art of combining more than one poem (I read one that had four poems in total) goes back well before cleave poetry. But, since that is how I learned it this is what it will always be to me.
I also like the 'cleave' concept–that each thought leans into and is dependant on the other. We are left with a tapestry of words to wonder over; woven works of art having something truly unique to ponder depending on which way you look at them. And when you read one all together it is like taking a step back to gaze on the complete picture.
Last night I was thinking of Job, and how much better his life was after his suffering was over. God blessed the latter part of his life more than the first. Sometimes we forget that suffering will end, and that, if we are truly trusting it to a faithful heavenly Father, our lives can only be all the better for it. That's what inspired this one.
Read it through first as one complete poem; then read each side separately. There are three distinct poems or variations of thought in this.
If Job became blessed
more than he was before are
the cruel arrows of those who
plunder wasted, should we mourn for
the suffering, despair? Knowing— they
rise up now and shall
in the end be comforted
