- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OASIS_(organization) - a global nonprofit consortium that works on the development, convergence, and adoption of standards for security, Internet of Things, energy, content technologies, emergency management, and other areas. OASIS was founded under the name "SGML Open" in 1993. It began as a trade association of SGML tool vendors to cooperatively promote the adoption of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) through mainly educational activities, though some amount of technical activity was also pursued including an update of the CALS Table Model specification and specifications for fragment interchange and entity management.
- OpenSocial is the industry's leading and most mature standards-based component model for cloud based social apps.
- Wikipedia:OpenSocial is a public specification that defines a component hosting environment (container) and a set of common application programming interfaces (APIs) for web-based applications. Initially it was designed for social network applications and was developed by Google along with MySpace and a number of other social networks. In more recent times it has become adopted as a general use runtime environment for allowing untrusted and partially trusted components from third parties to run in an existing web application. The OpenSocial Foundation has also moved to integrate or support numerous other open web technologies. This includes Oauth and OAuth 2.0, Activity Streams, and portable contacts, among others.

- Data portability is the ability for people to reuse their data across interoperable applications. The DataPortability Project works to advance this vision by identifying, contextualizing and promoting efforts in the space.
"There are numerous open standards that are considered to advance the vision, such as RDF, RDFa, microformats, APML, FOAF, OAuth, OpenID, OPML, RSS, SIOC, the XHTML Friends Network (XFN), XRI, and XDI."

December 2007
- DiSo Project (dee • soh) is an initiative to facilitate the creation of open, non-proprietary and interoperable building blocks for the decentralized social web. Silo free living. Social networks are becoming more open, more interconnected, and more distributed. Many of us in the web creation world are embracing and promoting web standards — both client-side and server-side. Microformats, standard APIs, and open-source software are key building blocks of these technologies. This model can be described as having three sides: Information, Identity, and Interaction. Our first target is WordPress, bootstrapping on existing work and building out from there.

- HowTo: Rebooting the RSS cloud - There are three sides to the cloud:1. The authoring tool. I edit and update a feed. It contains a <cloud> element that says how a subscriber should request to notification of updates.2. The cloud. It is notified of an update, and then in turn notifies all subscribers.3. The subscriber. A feed reader, aggregator, whatever -- that subscribes to feeds that may or may not be part of a cloud.

a general-purpose Activity Streams engine. It diverges from OStatus in a few other respects, of course, such as sending activity messages as JSON rather than as Atom, and by defining a simple REST inbox API instead of using PubSubHubbub and Salmon to push messages to other servers. Pump.io also uses a new database abstraction layer called Databank, which has drivers for a variety of NoSQL databases, but supports real relational databases, too. StatusNet, in contrast, was bound closely to MySQL. But, in the end, the important thing is the feature set; a pump.io instance can generate a microblogging feed, an image stream, or essentially any other type of feed. Activity Streams defines actions (which are called "verbs") that handle common social networking interaction; pump.io merely sends and receives them.

- Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.
Open Graph Protocol

- Schema.org provides a collection of schemas, i.e., html tags, that webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search providers. Search engines including Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex rely on this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages.

Twitter Cards
- Twitter Cards make it possible for you to attach media experiences to Tweets that link to your content. Simply add a few lines of HTML to your webpages, and users who Tweet links to your content will have a "card" added to the Tweet that's visible to all of their followers.
Web Credits
- ValueFlows - a set of common vocabularies to describe flows of economic resources of all kinds within distributed economic ecosystems. Purpose: to enable internetworking among many different software projects for resource planning and accounting within fractal networks of people and groups. The vocabulary will work for any kind of economic activity, but the focus is to facilitate groups experimenting with solidarity / cooperative / collaborative / small business ecosystem / commons based peer production / any transitional economies. Or, with less buzzwords, "let's help a lot of alternative economic software projects that are solving different pieces of the same puzzle be able to work together".One of the purposes of this vocab is to support resource flows connecting many websites. These flows may be oriented around Processes, Exchanges, or combinations of both. We want to support RDF based and non-RDF based use of the vocabulary, basically any way that people want to use software and data on the internet to help create economic networks.

- OpenID is an open standard that allows users to be authenticated by certain co-operating sites (known as Relying Parties or RP) using a third party service, eliminating the need for webmasters to provide their own ad hoc systems and allowing users to consolidate their digital identities.

OAuth - 2006-2010, OAuth 2 - 2012
- http://oauth.net/ - access granting protocol, silod pseudo-auth for identity and api access
OAuth began in November 2006 when Blaine Cook was developing the Twitter OpenID implementation. Meanwhile, Ma.gnolia needed a solution to allow its members with OpenIDs to authorize Dashboard Widgets to access their service. Cook, Chris Messina and Larry Halff from Ma.gnolia met with David Recordon to discuss using OpenID with the Twitter and Ma.gnolia APIs to delegate authentication. They concluded that there were no open standards for API access delegation.
The OAuth discussion group was created in April 2007, for the small group of implementers to write the draft proposal for an open protocol. DeWitt Clinton from Google learned of the OAuth project, and expressed his interest in supporting the effort. In July 2007 the team drafted an initial specification. Eran Hammer joined and coordinated the many OAuth contributions, creating a more formal specification. On October 3, 2007, the OAuth Core 1.0 final draft was released.
Because OAuth 2.0 is more like a framework rather than a defined protocol, any OAuth 2.0 implementation is unlikely to naturally be interoperable with any other OAuth 2.0 implementation. Further deployment profiling and specification is required for any interoperability.

The intent is to enable Internet users to carry a non-phishable strong 2 factor device which the user can register at any supporting site to get strong authentication security. The goal is to get many internet services accepting these devices as an option for 2nd Factor, get the key client platforms (browsers, OSes) to have built in support for these open-protocol devices and a large number of vendors making protocol compliant devices.
- gpgAuth is an authentication mechanism which uses Public/Private (cryptographic) keys (such as GnuPG, PGP) to authenticate users to a web-page or service. The process works by the two-way exchange of Encrypted/Signed tokens between a user and the service. gpgAuth is a generic authentication protocol that is not specific to any technology, platform or provider type. Being a versitile authentication mechansim, there are many hardware/software options available - in the projects section you will find information regarding various gpgAuth client and server implementations or tools.
Login with SSH
- Login with SSH - a simple experiment to authenticate web sessions with SSH. Doing so gives you a fully decentralized, passwordless authentication for free. A custom SSH server listens for connections. Instead of providing a shell or any other service, it only validates the public key you offer. Then, a callback is made to a web application with a payload containing the validated public key along with the login token used. In practise, you would have first hit a "login with SSH button" on the web app. It would have generated a session that resolves into a valid one with a callback handing the proper key / token combination.[23]
JSON Web Tokens
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Web_Token - JWT, is a JSON-based open standard (RFC 7519) for creating access tokens that assert some number of claims. For example, a server could generate a token that has the claim "logged in as admin" and provide that to a client. The client could then use that token to prove that it is logged in as admin. The tokens are signed by one party's private key (usually the server's), so that both parties (the other already being, by some suitable and trustworthy means, in possession of the corresponding public key) are able to verify that the token is legitimate. The tokens are designed to be compact, URL-safe and usable especially in web browser single sign-on (SSO) context. JWT claims can be typically used to pass identity of authenticated users between an identity provider and a service provider, or any other type of claims as required by business processes. JWT relies on other JSON-based standards: JWS (JSON Web Signature) RFC 7515 and JWE (JSON Web Encryption) RFC 7516.
- The Discovery Protocol Stack, Redux - Nov 24th 2009
XRD: Extensible Resource Descriptor XRDS: Extensible Resource Descriptor Sequence
The XML format used by XRDS was originally developed in 2004 by the OASIS XRI (extensible resource identifier) Technical Committee as the resolution format for XRIs. The acronym XRDS was coined during subsequent discussions between XRI TC members and OpenID developers at first Internet Identity Workshop held in Berkeley, CA in October 2005. The protocol for discovering an XRDS document from a URL was formalized as the Yadis specification published by Yadis.org in March 2006. Yadis became the service discovery format for OpenID 1.1.
A common discovery service for both URLs and XRIs proved so useful that in November 2007 the XRI Resolution 2.0 specification formally added the URL-based method of XRDS discovery (Section 6). This format and discovery protocol subsequently became part of OpenID Authentication 2.0. In early 2008, work on OAuth discovery by Eran Hammer-Lahav led to the development of XRDS Simple, a profile of XRDS that restricts it to the most basic elements and introduces some extensions to support OAuth discovery and other protocols that use specific HTTP methods. In late 2008, XRDS Simple has been cancelled and merged back into the main XRDS specification resulting in the upcoming XRD 1.0 format.

- Simple Web Discovery (SWD) defines an HTTPS GET based mechanism to discover the location of a given type of service for a given principal starting only with a domain name.
Web Linking
- RFC5899: Web Linking - specifies relation types for Web links, and defines a registry for them. It also defines the use of such links in HTTP headers with the Link header field.
- WebFinger is a .well-known based protocol that aims to provide information about people by their E-mail addresses. It moves the old UNIX Finger protocol to the web by relying on HTTP only. It provides meta data about the user behind the E-mail address, for example public encryption keys and OpenIDs. The WebFinger protocol is used by the federated social networks StatusNet and Diaspora to discover users on federated nodes and pods as well as the remotestorage protocol used by e.g. ownCloud.
- WebFist uses DKIM-signed email to prove that you, the user, want to participate in WebFinger, regardless of what your provider says. By sending a single email you can delegate your WebFinger profile to your own website host or anything that can serve the service document over HTTP (e.g., Google Drive). This is ridiculously easy for users. You can even set up WebFist via a mailto link on a webpage. To accomplish decentralization, WebFist servers take delegation emails, encrypt them into blobs, and distribute the blobs safely across a pool of peer servers. These servers synchronize with a "fist bump", transferring just encrypted blobs without secret keys. This makes it near impossible to enumerate every email address in WebFist.
JSON Resource Descriptor
- JSON Resource Descriptor (JRD) is a simple JSON object that describes a "resource" on the Internet, where a "resource" is any entity on the Internet that is identified via a URI or IRI. For example, a person's account URI (e.g., acct:firstname.lastname@example.com) is a resource. So are all web URIs (e.g., http://www.packetizer.com/). The JSON Resource Descriptor, originally introduced in RFC 6415 and based on the Extensible Resource Descriptor (XRD) format, was adopted for use in the WebFinger protocol, though its use is not restricted to WebFinger or RFC 6415.
- JRD, the Other Resource Descriptor - May 24th 2010
- RFC6415: Web Host Metadata
Also used in OpenID Connect.
Web Intents
- Web Intents is a framework for client-side service discovery and inter-application communication. Services register their intention to be able to handle an action on the user's behalf. Applications request to start an Action of a certain verb (share, edit, view, pick etc.) and the system will find the appropriate Services for the user to use based on the user's preference. Web Intents puts the user in control of service integrations and makes the developer's life simple.
- UserAddress is a search engine that can discover users as long as they are discoverable through one of the following languages: xrd (e.g. Webfinger including StatusNet, Google+, Friendica, Diaspora), rdf (e.g. Foaf), html (e.g. Tantek, Melvin), turtle (e.g. Facebook), Twitter-flavoured json (Twitter), Planned: xmpp-vcard (e.g. BuddyCloud)
- hCard is a microformat that allows a vCard to be embedded inside an HTML page. It makes use of CSS class names to identify each vCard property. Normal HTML markup and CSS styling can be used alongside the hCard class names without affecting the webpage's ability to be parsed by a hCard parser.

Blogger API
- Google: Blogger API v3
- RFC: MetaWeblog API - a programming interface that allows external programs to get and set the text and attributes of weblog posts. It builds on the popular XML-RPC communication protocol, with implementations available in many popular programming environments. The MetaWeblog API is designed to enhance the Blogger API, which was limited in that it could only get and set the text of weblog posts. By the time MWA was introduced, in spring 2002, many weblog tools had more data stored with each post, and without an API that understood the extra data, content creation and editing tools could not access the data. At the time of this writing, summer 2003, most popular weblog tools and editors support both the Blogger API and the MetaWeblog API.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetaWeblog - an application programming interface created by software developer Dave Winer that enables weblog entries to be written, edited, and deleted using web services. The API is implemented as an XML-RPC web service with three methods whose names describe their function: metaweblog.newPost(), metaweblog.getPost() and metaweblog.editPost(). These methods take arguments that specify the blog author's username and password along with information related to an individual weblog entry.
The impetus for the creation of the API in 2002 was perceived limitations of the Blogger API, which serves the same purpose. Another weblog publishing API, the Atom Publishing Protocol became an IETF Internet standard (RFC 5023) in October 2007. Subsequently, another weblog publishing API, Micropub, which was developed with modern technologies like OAuth, became a W3C Recommendation in May 2017. Many blog software applications and content management systems support the MetaWeblog API, as do numerous desktop clients.
- Atom Publishing Protocol - based on HTTP and is used for publications and posting on Web resources. The Atom Publishing Protocol (APP) together with the Atom Syndication Format (ASF) provides interaction with content, especially at blogs and RSS. Atom has become a popular element of Web 2.0-style solutions. APP/ASF represent a data model, which is simpler than WebDAV model, and consists of elements and selection of elements (entries), but doesn't include location of selections (hierarchy of selection).
- The Atom Publishing Protocol - an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources. The protocol is based on HTTP transfer of Atom-formatted representations. The Atom format is documented in the Atom Syndication Format.

- RFC 4685 - Atom Threading Extensions - an extension for expressing threaded discussions within the Atom Syndication Format
- AtomOwl Vocabulary Specification - an ontology whose aim is to capture the semantics of rfc4287. RFC4287 is a format to syndicate online content, such as weblogs, podcasts, videocasts, etc. Syndication is a helpful way to alert interested readers to changes to a web site, be it to new content or changed content. As AtomOwl captures the semantics of rfc4287 it is easy to convert rfc4287 feeds to AtomOwl statements and thus add them to a triple database, which can the be queried using a SPARQL endpoint. This should then help make very powerful searched for updated content possible.
- Rss20AndAtom10Compared - Atom Wiki - People who generate syndication feeds have a choice of feed formats. As of mid-2005, the two most likely candidates will be RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0.

JSON Feed
- https://indieweb.org/Microsub - a standardized way for reader apps to interact with feeds. By splitting feed parsing and displaying posts into separate parts, a reader app can focus on presenting posts to the user instead of also having to parse feeds. A Microsub server manages the list of people you're following and collects their posts, and a Microsub app shows the posts to the user by fetching them from the server.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish–subscribe_pattern - a messaging pattern where senders of messages, called publishers, do not program the messages to be sent directly to specific receivers, called subscribers, but instead categorize published messages into classes without knowledge of which subscribers, if any, there may be. Similarly, subscribers express interest in one or more classes and only receive messages that are of interest, without knowledge of which publishers, if any, there are. Publish–subscribe is a sibling of the message queue paradigm, and is typically one part of a larger message-oriented middleware system. Most messaging systems support both the pub/sub and message queue models in their API, e.g. Java Message Service (JMS). This pattern provides greater network scalability and a more dynamic network topology, with a resulting decreased flexibility to modify the publisher and the structure of the published data.

- Six Apart - Labs: Trackback - uses a REST model, where requests are made through standard HTTP calls. To send a TrackBack ping, the client makes a standard HTTP request to the server, and receives a response in a simple XML format (see below for more details). In the TrackBack system, the URL that receives TrackBack pings is the TrackBack Ping URL. A typical TrackBack Ping URL looks like http://www.example.com/trackback/5, where 5 is the TrackBack ID. Server implementations can use whatever format makes sense for the TrackBack Ping URL; client implementations should not depend on a particular format. To send a ping, the client sends an HTTP POST request to the TrackBack Ping URL. The client MUST send a Content-Type HTTP header, with the content type set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The client SHOULD include the character encoding of the content being sent (title, excerpt, and weblog name) in the charset attribute of the Content-Type header.
Semantic Trackback
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pingback - an XML-RPC request (not to be confused with an ICMP ping) sent from Site A to Site B, when an author of the blog at Site A writes a post that links to Site B. The request includes the URI of the linking page. When Site B receives the notification signal, it automatically goes back to Site A checking for the existence of a live incoming link. If that link exists, the pingback is recorded successfully. This makes pingbacks less prone to spam than trackbacks. Pingback-enabled resources must either use an X-Pingback header or contain a <link> element to the XML-RPC script.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refback - simply the usage of the HTTP referrer header to discover incoming links. Whenever a browser traverses an incoming link from Site A (originator) to Site B (receptor) the browser will send a referrer value indicating the URL from where the user came. Site B might publish a link to Site A after visiting Site A and extracting relevant information from Site A such as the title, meta information, the link text, and so on. Refback only requires Site B to be Refback enabled in order to establish this communication. Refback requires Site A to physically link to Site B. Refback also requires browsers to traverse the links.

- Salmon Protocol is a message exchange protocol running over HTTP designed to decentralize commentary and annotations made against newsfeed articles such as blog posts. It allows a single discussion thread to be established between the article's origin and any feed reader or "aggregator" which is subscribing to the content. Put simply, that if an article appeared on 3 sites A (the source), B and C (the aggregates), that members of all 3 sites could see and contribute to a single thread of conversation regardless of site they were viewing from.

- OExchange is an open protocol for sharing any URL with any service on the web.
Web Intents
- Web Intents is a framework for client-side service discovery and inter-application communication. Services register their intention to be able to handle an action on the user's behalf. Applications request to start an Action of a certain verb (share, edit, view, pick etc.) and the system will find the appropriate Services for the user to use based on the user's preference.

- GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking that does not use any centralized or otherwise trusted services. A first service implemented on top of the networking layer allows anonymous censorship-resistant file-sharing. Anonymity is provided by making messages originating from a peer indistinguishable from messages that the peer is routing. All peers act as routers and use link-encrypted connections with stable bandwidth utilization to communicate with each other. GNUnet uses a simple, excess-based economic model to allocate resources. Peers in GNUnet monitor each others behavior with respect to resource usage; peers that contribute to the network are rewarded with better service. GNUnet is part of the GNU project. GNUnet can be downloaded from GNU and the GNU mirrors.

- Aether - a peer-to-peer app, and it has no servers. A result of this is that source IP of any specific public post cannot (easily) be determined. Most people use pseudonyms, though you can use your real name, or company. Aether is private by default, so that you can choose to be fully private, or fully public yourself. Aether keeps a 6 months of content by default. It's gone after. If something is worth keeping, someone will save it within six months — but not from beyond that. If you screw up, argue for the wrong opinion, and then think otherwise, that's okay. No one is going to come after you — it gives you the freedom to be wrong, and move on. Actions of moderators are visible to users. No content can just 'disappear', if something gets deleted, you'll know who did it, why they did it, and if you want, how to get it back. Moderation is important for healthy communities, and Aether adds onto it some checks-and-balances. Everyone watches the watchmen. Communities can elect and impeach their own mods by voting. If a mod behaves inappropriately, users can disable that mod locally as well. [39]

Social news idea
While I'm here (sending feedback for the new digg), my wishlist would be for;
- Reddit style voting meets Slashdot comment categories, with social bookmark tagging for both users and groups/communities. *
Between upvoting and commenting, there are other types of actions that can be performed on items, like flagging as a favourite.
To add a better social bookmarking management system (better than Reddit search!), if a user could either;
- Click to Digg - (Click to thumbs-down/whatever is optional for communities, or like Hacker News) - Click to Favourite to own bookmark list -- And Tag, like del.icio.us, pinboard.in - Also, click to "Notice", as in not like the user "Diggs" or "Likes" the content of the article, and not that they want to bother saving it to Favourites, but a touch in the sence of a the *nix command, or a 'poke' to the issue embodies in the linked to page.
So, on the page, in ASCII;
This is the title of the link! 324 diggs/94 undiggs (small url) 863 noticed [++] [*] [~] [Tag:] [img thumb/whatever]
This is the title of another link! 243 diggs/213 undiggs (small url) 546 noticed [++] [*] [~] [Tag:] [img thumb/whatever]
(the buttons representing 'digg', 'favourite/save', 'notice' and 'tag:'
the tag textarea expands on clickingm like the stackexchange search box, and does auto-complete for a users tags, with suggestions from the global tags, like del.icio.us. personal taxonomy can be cached locally for users.)
ALSO - reposts in different communities can tie back to a global site dashboard listing related taxonomies, from groups and users who favourite the link publically
- Bottom up social tagging link topic clustering
- Some communities have taxonomies moderated
- Moderated taxonomies could be linked with Linked Data, DPpedia, etc.
- So some serious bits of the site, some open and silly bits
- Bits and bobs displayed in a timeline format (D3.js?), arrows between concepts in a postcyberpunk style semantic news and search display
- Paid access for high-volume API calls
tag/category/channel ?
[social] bookmarks as service
Group types
from old wiki
Groups for collaboration on and sharing of conversation, news, code, media, services, etc.
- Active = Groups as in membership.
- Who can 'join'?
- Open = Cost of entry is participation.
- Closed = Some form of new-member rules.
- What output can people see?
- Public = Open process, easily forkable.
- Private = Group or subgroup curates output, hidden process. Trust?
- Who can 'join'?
- Passive = Groups as in topics of interest.
- Web of semantically related topics and ideas.
- Mining and 'routing' of relevant related content
Individual hubs could federate the service they wished (widgets, social aggregation, files, etc) in a manner that could be open or hidden. Tunnelled inter-darknet connections between anonymised users and services.
Process consensus-holders
- interoperable oss platform(s)
- activity stream, accessible for aggregation
- easy filterable by others
- from easy oembed style referencing using entry points with either html5 microformats or semantic apis
- following/friend activity aggregation.
- federated commenting
- provides with one public (https) and one private (hidden service)

There was nothing like a little home cooking a few weeks back for Cathedral Prep of Erie. Runners-up last year at Peek'n Peak's Lower course, the Ramblers represented the homeland well, winning the 2017 Midwest Prep by 7 over Notre Dame Catholic Latin of Chardon, Ohio, at Whispering Woods golf course. The hosts sat tied with NDCL after round one at 305, with defending champion Central Catholic of Pittsburgh just five strokes behind. On Sunday, Cathedral Prep's top four shot a blistering 294 to eliminate all challengers. In the individual race, Jimmy Meyers of Central Catholic followed an opening 74 with a four-under par 68 to claim medalist honors by 3 over Charlie Toman of NDCL.
From the Buffalo area, St. Francis placed 6th, St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute came 8th, and Nichols was 14th, in the 22-team field.

Days With David/
This past weekend I was privileged to host seven outstanding men and women in ministry at what we call Days with David. Since 2001 I've invited younger men and women with a vocational call to Christian service to join me for two days. During this time they're free to ask me any question and I'll answer to the extent of my knowledge and experience. Or if their question is beyond my current understanding I'll simply acknowledge I don't know the answer. Also, I download many of the important lessons the Lord has taught me in 49 years of gospel ministry (or is still teaching me). We cover many subjects related to starting well, serving well, and finishing well. I candidly share my list of regrets and no regrets. This mentoring ministry is one of the lesser known outreaches of Global Advance.
At the end of our time Sunday evening I leave tired mentally and physically. But I also leave very, very happy. What a privilege to sow into the next generation of gospel carriers. It's refreshing to see and interact with such quality men and women God continues to call out for His service. Although severe times may well be just ahead, these young servants of Christ assure me that God isn't finished with our country.
Added to the joy of this weekend, our son, Joel, and his family visited us from Tulsa. All five grandkids romped around Nanni and Papa's house, much to our delight. So we start this week a little tired but very thankful. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning" (James 1:17).

friday's confession: I have a secret.
Well, friends, I have held the news as long as I can, but it's time to shout it from the rooftops!!
Okay. Pause. That's kind of a lie. In reality...
{Yes. This is for real. Yes. I know it's HUGE. Yes, Tim and I are super excitednervousoverjoyedslightlyterrified and all of the other things one might feel when you find out at your "pregnancy confirmation" doctor's appointment that there are 2 babies inside you.}
{Deep breath}
{Also: squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee}
I have been so excited to share this news (SO EXCITED!) and it's such a joy to finally be putting it out into the world!
Life is an adventure, isn't it? I'm a pretty hard-core planner, know-what's-coming-next type of person, so the news of twins threw me for a loop. Not a bad loop, just the kind of loop that pulls the rug out of you with a loving reminder that no matter what you think, you have very little control, planning or not.
There's a surrender here. And a trust. And a sweetness that I'm working on settling in to. I have no idea what our lives will look like this time next year, but I can't wait to find out.
ALSO - I am working on a few things this fall before I go on maternity leave, but know this: my business is not going anywhere. Will things shift? Sure. They always do. And I will be taking some time off. But that doesn't mean I'll disappear altogether. There are a few things up my sleeve. Trust.
Will I blog about my pregnancy and kids? I have no idea. I've never done this before, so I'm not sure which direction things will take. I'm sure it will get mentioned because my life serves as material for my writing. Will I become a mommy-blogger? Probably not.
Oh, and here are some FAQs, in case you're wondering about all the other stuff:
How far along are you?
As of today, I am 13 weeks, 4 days.
When are you due?
My official due date is February 24, although it is unlikely I'll go full-term with these guys, so I'm just hoping that they cook until February. We'll learn more as the pregnancy progresses and we see how healthy we all are!
How are you feeling?
Okay. Good. Better. To be honest, July was a rough month. I was travelling and feeling pretty crappy at the same time. I learned about the twin-piece the day after I got home from Portland. Hello, world turned upside down!
Luckily, my boss is an absolute angel (HA!) so I was able to focus only on non-essential work while I took care of myself and slept. And slept. And slept.
I've also been able to get a hold on my morning (ahem...all-day) sickness, so that's made a huge difference. My appetite has come back with a vengeance. Wanna be my best friend? Bring me a chocolate milkshake.
Do you have any food aversions or cravings?
The two things I haven't been able to stomach are coffee and raw tomatoes, both of which I miss like the deserts miss the rain. I'm hoping to return to my daily cup-o-joe in the next week or two. *fingers crossed* (And yes, it's completely okay!)
As far as cravings, I haven't had any pickles and peanut butter combinations yet, but I can tell you that my favorite foods are currently cheeseburgers (bonus points for adding a fried egg and avocado), milkshakes, and apples. And I am hungry like a T-Rex after a deep sleep.
So, do you mean, you knew that one time when we {were at WDS, had dinner, talked on the phone}?
Haha, probably. We decided to wait, as most people do these days, to make sure that things were cooking well in there, but you guys! It was so hard to keep my mouth shut! Also, I'm a complete give-away since me at a party without champagne never happens.
How is Tim doing?
You guys, Tim is simply fantastic! Not only is he so excited about these babies, he has been an absolute champ at taking care of me when I haven't been feeling well. And the house. And Maggie. I seriously could not ask for a better baby-daddy.
Do you know the sexes?
We are planning to wait until the babies are born to find out the sexes, although my hunch says that we're having a boy and a girl.
Do you have names picked out?
We are circling on names and think that we have some good combinations picked out, although I likely won't share them publicly until after they're born. For now, we're calling them Luke and Leia.
Do twins run in your family?
They do now! And yes, they do, although distantly. My great-grandmother's sister had twins as did my mom's cousin. But, as surprised as we were when we find out, I've always had a hunch that twins might be a possibility. And now, here we are!
Do you have a bump yet?
I do have a little bit of a bump! During a photoshoot last week for my new headshots (refreshed website! coming this fall!), my photographer captured a few of me and the beans.
*photos by the amazing Tiffany Schoepp (who also shot our wedding!)
What's happening with your biz? Can we have some sneak peeks?
I'm going to be announcing some stuff in a couple of weeks, but I can tell you that I will definitely be running my Glitterbomb groups again this fall. I am having the best time ever with these groups, and cannot wait to jump in again!
I'm also working on a special offer for those of you who are interested in working with me one-on-one. Deets on that coming soon too! And a few other fun surprises, so don't worry: this is not going to be a boring fall. I promise.
And, Good Morning Glitterbomb is definitely going to continue! I've gotten such amazing feedback about the daily emails, and honestly, I am having so much fun writing them! (Wanna get in on the action? Sign up here!)

Thank you for your continued prayers. It is an exciting new year for us in Australia '09. Yet, as many summers in Australia begin, this year has been extremely hot (40-44 degrees Celcius). With extreme heat comes forest fires and unfortunately loss of life and property. Please be praying for the victim's families of these devastating fires as they continue to burn in Victoria. Thank you for all of the enquiries, but the worst of the fires are about ten hours away from us. New South Wales (our home state) has experienced fires, but in the outer portions of the State. No one has been hurt in NSW. Our family is safe and a cool front has come in this week. So, our request is that you continue to pray for the people of Victoria, Australia. Through this tragedy, God would be glorified. Additional prayer requests: New Initiatives
City Bible Forum: We will begin a new season at CBF and the first series will be Connections for Life. A look into the first four chapters of Revelation and how people can have life in Christ. Our usual attendance for CBF can be approx. 150-200 with 40-50% being non-Christian. Pray for great attendance and many non-Christians would come to hear this year's series. Also, many would come to a realtionship with Jesus.
Investigating Christianity: (evangelism) I have started a new class in the city. We have eight people in attendance and five of them are non-Christian. Please pray for the class and that people will come to have a relationship with the Saviour.
Glorious Hope Baptist Chruch: (Church) We have many new initiatives at the church. Changing things around for the congregation to attend an additional prayer meeting, new kids outreach programs and Helping Hands (caring for the needy in our community).
Urban Fight Club: (Mentoring) This month we will be having an Action Day within the community to assist with cleaning up the community for Australia clean up day. Next month will be a movie event, showing the 'FIREPROOF' film for the community.
An exciting new year and we look forward to all the Lord has planned for our family. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
The adventure continues... Russ and Cathy Matthews

A pro-fossil fuel group named Energy In Depth has discovered a 2012 memo that describes how, despite the lack of any evidence, environmentalists sought to manipulate news outlets to report fracking is dangerous to people's health. According to The Daily Caller the memo suggests environmentalists use the media to knowingly lie about the scientific research on fracking in order to ban hydraulic fracturing.
The source of the pamphlet is a group called the 11th Hour Project that just so happens to contribute money to other anti-fracking groups such as Earthworks, Food & Water Watch, Friends of the Earth, New Yorkers Against Fracking, and the Post Carbon Institute.
The memorandum suggests green activists use emotional appeals and to attack any research that contradicts the manuscripts they favor while getting the studies that support anti-fracking positions popularized in the news. The memo's author is executive director of an anti-fracking group PSE Healthy Energy Seth Shonkoff. At the time of the essay's publishing, Shonkoff was a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Berkeley.
This is another example of the contempt environmentalist groups have for the truth. Environmentalists subscribe to an idea Plato wrote about known as The Noble Lie in his book The Republic. Environmentalists themselves as a sort of anointed class that knows best how society should be organized and governed. Therefore, lying to further their cause in order to save the Earth from the plague of humanity is warranted. This also shows environmentalists can't bare to think that people(other than themselves) can have access to cheap and abundant energy sources to further and enhance their own lives.

The left likes to portray Dreamers as hard-working young would-be Americans who have been given the short end of the stick from every side.
A case can be made for granting Dreamers amnesty. These are immigrants who came to the United States illegally with their parents when they were still underage — they broke laws but through no fault of their own.
The Obama administration fully embraced that logic, issuing an executive order known as DACA that gave immigrants who fit this description a deferment on deportation and allowed them to seek work permits.
Trump rescinded DACA — much to the ire of the left — and invited Congress to work on legislation to replace it.
Whether through executive order or legislation, there are some problems with giving Dreamers — as they are often called — amnesty.
Recent studies show that immigrants eligible for deferred deportation under DACA commit crimes at a much higher rate than both natural born citizens of the same age group and immigrants who came here legally.
In Arizona, for example, illegal immigrants are 142% more likely to be convicted of a crime than immigrants who arrived here legally. And we're talking violent crimes. They commit a higher-than-expected rate of homicide, sexual assault, and armed robbery. Those stats are for illegal immigrants of any age.
For illegal immigrants who fall into the Dreamer age group, the picture is actually worse. They are almost 10 times more likely to be convicted of a crime than a non-immigrant of the same age. That's a big difference! And certainly worth considering as part of the discussion around allowing this particular group of immigrants blanket amnesty.
Add to that three separate incidents of Dreamers being caught smuggling additional illegal immigrants into the country, and any DACA-style legislation is definitely questionable.
See more on illegal immigrant crime statistics right here.

I took some photographs for friends Brad and Leanne a while back of their home and the things in it for their online shop. They remodeled this dream house themselves (the remodel was featured in Country Living last summer!) and it is such a beaut! These are just a few of my favorite frames.

Over the holidays I managed to work on three small still life pieces, in between playing hostess, laundry lady, and Santa's personal assistant. My son still believes in the big guy, who somehow gets through the pane of glass on our fireplace every year. The lies we tell!! He's catching on, though, and I'm sure that this will be the year that the older kids at school break the news to him and he comes to us for confirmation.
Once these paintings are set I'll go in and tweak areas with dry-brush strokes. Until then it's back to work on a winter series of birds for Sagebrush Fine Art. I'll never tire of painting these adorable creatures! Happy New year!
