The first two days in Bali were spent coddling in the lap of luxury at The Bale. My heart was breaking when it came to leaving the hotel. We hadn't seen much of Seminyak in the first two days (the heart of the city and the party district), so I was a little sceptical if we were making the right choice picking up a resort in the middle of nowhere. We dragged our suitcases to the car sent by the resort, The Menjangan. I had decided not to enjoy the four-hour ride and crib about leaving our beautiful hotel behind. My decision withered in the wake of our smiling driver, the nuts and the coke and the neck pillows, and the Wi-fi in the car. The idea of being disconnected from the world for four hours had been making me anxious. It was hard to remain sullen anymore.
It started to drizzle as we drove out of the city. The gloominess and the aggressive architecture of the city made it look like it had jumped out of a graphic novel. We stopped scores of times to click pictures of houses, temples and even roundabouts, all of them littered with beautiful stone sculptures. The view kept improving the further we drove away from the city – terraced rice fields, coffee plantations, valleys, undulating blues and greens. We stopped over at a coffee plantation and tasted types of coffee we didn't know existed. We even tried the famous and the super expensive Lupwak Coffee which I first heard about in the move The Bucket List. Lupwak is the animal which ingests the coffee beans and whose half-digested feces are the source of the beans used to make this coffee. Despite the awkward process, the coffee tastes quite smooth. We left the plantation with a packet of every type of coffee we had tasted.
I spent the entirety of the drive with my bunched up against the window. By the time we reached the resort, it was already nightfall. It was really in the middle of nowhere. Can you hear silence? Because I'm sure that's what I heard. Any quieter and I would have heard my heart thumping. We had been upgraded to an Ocean Villa which was exactly what it sounds. It opened into the ocean. It was ridiculously beautiful to be surrounded by water on one side and a forest on the other. The room itself was mammoth, the washroom open to the elements, and the porch just a few yards away from where the waves washed up sea shells.
After a sea-side, beautiful candle lit dinner (real candles, not the Chinese candles with electric bulbs) which despite the romantic setting of the Pantai Restaurant was anything but. We exchanged angry glares for having to share our food. Welcome to married life.
We lounged about in the hammocks outside for a couple of hours and then slept off. When we woke up, it was drizzling. We opened the doors and window and lay there for quite some time. When it stopped raining, we ordered ourselves a scrumptious breakfast. We shared it with little monkeys who pounced on it the second we got up from our tables which they had set up outside.
After a lazy breakfast and a long shower, we headed to the stables where we met the beautiful horses. God. Are these magnificent creatures. No wonder men have sought to control them, breed them like we are wont to do. Nevertheless, they were gorgeous to look at it.
The safari later was even more fun. The National Park is almost untouched. Driving through it was like going back in time. The entire safari had a Jurassic Park feel to it what with a double decker bus we drove around in.
Later, we enjoyed a couple of drinks at the Bali Tower – a five storey bistro made entirely out of wood. We watched the sun set from the fifth floor. The sky turned fiery red. No matter how hard we tried we couldn't capture it on our cameras. We gave up and started at it with our mouth agape. The bistro has a select menu – mostly Mediterranean and Indonesian – and we ordered the suggested dishes. We do tend to eat a lot during our holidays, don't we?
The next day we got ourselves booked for the little Monsoon spa, a tiny hut which overlooked the ocean and pampered ourselves to head and shoulder massages.
There were other things to do as well – snorkelling, scuba diving, Kayaking etc. but since Avantika was in her second trimester, we chose to skip them. We got to know from the others that it was fun. Maybe, next time.
We spent a few hours just walking around the West Bali National Park taking in the good air. We ate at Pantai again which offers freshly caught seafood cooked wonderfully. Twice, we sent compliments for the chef. Could you ask for anything more?
The trip to The Menjangan had started on a sullen note and it ended on one too. We were sad to leave but we promised ourselves that we would be back!

What is the rationale for conservation in a world driven by change, by an astronomical energy to produce, consume, and develop, then destroy the old to make room for the new? What is the value of place and permanence to an increasingly mobile citizenry with mixed ethnic and cultural identities and cross-historical memories? Should conservation move from being object or site-specific to being human-sensitive? Should it shift its mental grammar from the past to the present? And how should it manage change—preserving the past while helping to create the future?
The Landmarks Campaign of the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) is a search for answers to these questions and an experiment in thinking about the future of conservation through different voices and fresh perspectives. Born from a Los Angeles community-based GCI project and publication named Picture L.A.: Landmarks of a New Generation (see Conservation, vol. 9, no. 2, 1994), the campaign has grown into a grassroots initiative conducted in Cape Town, Mumbai (formerly Bombay), Mexico City, and Paris. In each project the Institute has asked youths of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds aged 10 to 18 to photograph personal landmarks as well as designated heritage sites and to comment on the landmarks' relevance to their own and other people's lives. Each project culminates in a local exhibition, accompanied by a book and a short video. One project is currently on the Internet (www.picturemumbai.com).
The campaign's underlying premise is that if people come face-to-face with their landmarks and if they see the built landscape as an extension of their cultural history and its outstanding features as an embodiment of their personal and social identities, they will develop a sense of caring for it. These feelings, in turn, will help prevent landmarks from being neglected or abused.
From Picture Cape Town.
"A landmark is something I recognize myself by," said an 18-year-old Mumbaite, Nicole D'Souza, endorsing that premise by making a direct connection between people and places. Vinit Chauhan, a 17-year-old runaway orphan from Baroda living in a Mumbai shelter, voiced a similar sentiment, with an added pathos: "A landmark is something you perhaps are not even aware of, until suddenly one day it isn't there—then you feel a personal loss." Such sensitivity to the quality of place is not hard to transfer to the legacy of past generations. "When you destroy a landmark, you destroy some of other people's history," said Sabrina Paschal, 14 years old and living in the Watts area of Los Angeles at the time of Picture L.A. In Mumbai, 17-year-old Anitha Balachandran's statement summed up a people-centered rationale for preservation: "A landmark tells me that I am not lost." The message is clear: preserving landmarks is an act of self-preservation.
Preservationists by and large treat present time as if it is isolated from the past. Relatively little thought is given to the fact that what is created today will become "heritage" for future generations. Each of the projects in the campaign has vividly demonstrated that a place need not be old to be a landmark—indeed, a landmark need not even be a place. "Landmarks can be markers on the road of life," said Yvette Kruger, "places, people, images which mean something to us . . . things that help us find our way." For most, history is a part of the same narrative. "Old buildings store old stories," says Vinit Chauhan. "If we break these buildings, the stories are finished." Marwaan Manual from Cape Town expresses the relation in a constructive way: "There are still a lot of original buildings in Bo-Kaap. I don't think these should be knocked down . . . [but] renovated up. They are our history."
With only 8 to 10 youths selected from each city, the projects are only randomly representative of their communities. Still, one can observe certain characteristic traits in each. L.A., for instance, was raw energy—simple, tense, impromptu, uninhibited, and emotionally somewhat reserved. Cape Town surprised everyone for being strikingly serene, with a gentle, mature, optimistic, quiet, and intellectual tone. Mumbai was intense—there is no other word for it. And profoundly philosophical.
Whatever their differences, the youths shared one experience in common. Eighteen-year-old Nivedita Magar summed it up at the Picture Mumbai exhibit opening, in a speech that earned her a standing ovation from the governor of Maharashtra. Describing Picture Mumbai as an experience just like "going through the looking glass . . . where innocuous objects seemed infused with a newly awakened life force," she said: "We are here today to look at the landmarks we have chosen to record. In the process, we have come to recognize our potential, an inherent human creativity, which in turn has generated a belief and faith in ourselves. . . . Picture Mumbai has been a collective effort. The project, I believe, will act as a landmark for the generation to come and guide them toward a better future."
From Picture Mumbai.
A parallel ambition guided Gavin Younge, field director for Picture Cape Town, who welcomed the project as relevant to reunification efforts in South Africa. A professor of fine arts, a sculptor, and a social activist, he involved more than 150 schools to help select the youths at the start. His efforts paid off, for he helped a team of 10 individuals previously isolated by apartheid to "cross into each other's territories for the first time," discover new cultural landscapes together, and become better equipped to build a future in their own image. President Nelson Mandela added his voice to the campaign with a message that was read by Miguel Angel Corzo, director of the GCI, before the 400 guests at the exhibit opening in November 1996 (see "GCI News"). Hosted at the Good Hope Gallery in the Cape Town Castle, the exhibit was seen by nearly 11,000 people from 25 countries before it traveled to Johannesburg. The campaign's relevance to other places in need of healing is not lost on visitors. An entry in the guest book reads, "I will take the idea of this exhibition home to Northern Ireland."
People seem to take ownership of this campaign and add new dimensions to it with a captivating and contagious energy. The Picture Mumbai Web site was a case in point. Created by Ketak Bhat and Kenny Joseph under David de Souza's guidance at the 11th hour, it received over 4,000 visitors in its first week and a half in January 1997. David's e-mail of January 31 to the GCI reads: "I have been uplifted. I feel I have been cleansed in the Ganga. I can go back and do the bad things I do in advertising. No, I could not go back there! It will be like descending to the plains after having been on the mountaintop with the burning bush all around." Now he dreams of repeating the photography project with another 100 students. Anil Rao, project manager and patron (see "Profile"), plans to establish a trust fund and "to involve other members of corporate India in spreading the message to schools across the country." Perhaps David will get his wish.
At the Institute, we are engaged in several activities to bring the campaign full circle: Internet sites are planned for each project, and a collective exhibition is being developed for the Getty Center for the fall of 1998. In addition, we are designing educational materials that teachers can use to generate a critical dialogue about heritage through classroom discussions, photography, drawings, essays, or other means. Also in development is a handbook for those who want to duplicate the projects. Some such efforts have already begun. Picture Delaware, a statewide initiative, is presently under way.
The Landmarks Campaign is friendly, fun, nonjudgmental, and inclusive. It teaches youth how to relate to heritage in an instinctive way by asking them to see, to think, and to value, both as individuals and as members of a society. The method workschiefly because it is relevant, democratic, self-directed, and open-ended. Above all, it works because by empowering the young, it turns the seemingly insignificant into the monumental, both in the eyes and minds of the young and in ourselves, who witness them think hard, see well, produce good work, and start to build a legacy worth preserving.
Mahasti Afshar is program research associate for the GCI and the project director of the Landmarks Campaign.

Ever since Blake Griffin unleashed the fury of a thousand suns on Kris Humphries, we've been waiting for the dunk to crumble his psyche like it did Kendrick Perkins and, less-so, Timofey Mozgov. But the Kardashian ex is immune to embarrassment (perhaps this a prerequisite for being with a Kardashian), and Monday night, he showed his commercial partner, James Harden, not to forget about him on the break.
After coming from behind to thwart Harden, Humphries protected the rim against an advancing Jeremy Lin later in the game.
But the C's lost their ninth straight game, 104-92, despite the defense from Humphries. Still, it's nice to see the big lug not let the embarrassment of the Blake dunk get him off his game. And the Celtics have Rajon Rondo's likely return to look forward to as they try and break out of this prolonged slump.

reggie laurent "shapely" abstractions
4 comments:
Thanks for introducing me to this artist. I LOVE his work!!!! I especially like the way the white lines tie everything together. In one of my 4th grade classes today we were talking about how some artist start a painting not knowing how it will evolve or what the final painting will look like. Next week I will share Reggie Laurent's interview comment about how his art often emerges as he works. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
absolutely...and that's what we talked about when discussing this project...the process of non-objective artwork! i've found that kids have a hard time "being creative" when they have no specific visual representation in mind. it's my personal goal to change that up this year by doing more abstract and non-representational artwork!Delete
GREAT project! Thanks :)ReplyDelete
What a beautiful lesson! I hope you don't mind. I posted a link to this lesson from Art Sub Lesson blog. I think folks could adapt this one for a sub. Jan http://artsublessons.blogspot.com/2016/01/reggie-laurent-abstractions.htmlReplyDelete

North Korea has announced it will launch a rocket next month, which will put a satellite into orbit. But the U.S. and its allies see the plans as counter to international diplomatic efforts to deal with the reclusive state's nuclear programme – and are worried the technology could be used to develop long range missiles in the future. It could also potentially violate UN Security Council resolutions, and threatens last month's deal between North Korea and the Washington. Under this, Pyonyang was to freeze its uranium weapons program and its long-range missile activities – in return for American food aid. Japan's has responded by deploying its own missile defense system to shoot down any rocket threatening its territory. For more on this, RT talks to Executive Editor of Black Agenda Report, Glen Ford, from London.

PhD is a thoroughly engaging academic affair. There are so many moving parts such that success will only come when you plan your work. When required to produce a paper that is several hundred pages, the possibility of repetition or omitting certain parts is live. This lowers the quality of your paper which may damage your career prospects. This can be avoided by using a phd dissertation outline.
An outline helps you to organize your work. It is through the dissertation outline APA format that you identify the points you have generated, giving you an idea whether they are more or few. Through the outline, you also organize the points strategically such that they make your presentation logical.
The challenge for most students is how to develop a dissertation outline proposal that will enable you to complete your intended paper. Such an outline should be customized and must enable you to adhere to instructions provided by your tutor. Here are tips to help you develop or use an outline to make your paper more captivating.
Get a Sample
A sample simplifies your work, leaving you to only imitate what is in the sample. A dissertation proposal outline sample will, for example, help you to craft the best proposal by imitating the word and presentation of the writer in the sample. This saves time, allowing you to pay more attention to your content instead of worrying about the structure. Ensure that the sample is obtained from a credible source to avoid compromising on the quality of your work.
Consult Your Supervisor
Consult your supervisor before using any dissertation introduction outline. The samples are prepared with different instructions and by diverse writers. This means that they are different in one way or the other. Such differences are huge when they are translated into the actual paper and will change the appearance and even presentation of your points. With the guidance of your supervisor, you will know the ideas to pick from a sample and what to ignore.
Get From a Credible Source
There are databases known to provide quality reference materials. These databases include library portals, departments and research institutions. Some have such high quality standards that you have to pay to access the papers. Ensure that your dissertation chapter outline comes from a credible source to avoid compromising on quality.
A Customized Sample Will Help
Hire an assistant or custom paper writing services to produce a detailed and customized dissertation defense outline. The writing services are made of professionals with experience in academic writing. Their work is high quality because of experience. Hire a professional writer to produce a high quality outline for you.
The quality of outline you develop and use will determine how easy your paper will be to draft. It will also affect logical presentation of ideas and how captivating they are to readers. Consult your supervisor before using any outline to avoid using a misleading format.

It's no secret that technology plays a large role in determining whether or not a particular industry will sink or float. Technology is everywhere and it influences the way we think, communicate, and essentially live our lives. Businesses need technology in order to keep up with their market, as the newest and most innovative tech determines how a particular industry will grow. And though you'll come across an industry where the first thing you won't think of are computers and other high-tech gadgets, that doesn't mean that tech hasn't infiltrated that industry. Here are five unlikely industries that tech is creeping into.
In this quickly expanding market, technology is finding its groove in the beauty industry. With a growing interest in skincare, cosmetics, and the huge beauty community that exists online, it's no surprise that there have been plenty of technological advancements that help push the beauty industry forward. Scanners which can determine the perfect foundation shade for you are being used in high-end makeup stores, smart mirrors which can analyze your skin condition with a single glance are popping up on the market, and even programs that use augmented reality and artificial intelligence to allow consumers to try on lipstick and eyeshadow are becoming more common.

These days, the plumbing industry has been slowly moving into technology that encourages trends that are eco-friendly, hygienic, and aesthetically pleasing. An example of technology popping up more often in the plumbing industry is tankless water heaters. These devices, while not brand new, are starting to appear in newer houses. Using pipes that are heated with gas or electric burners, tankless water heaters are able to provide hot water regardless of outside conditions.
People want to know about their body and want to better understand the effect certain exercises will have on it; therefore, it's only natural that technology would target this market. Smart helmets have made their way into the industry. Designed to reduce the risk of brain injury, these helmets are currently being developed exclusively for the NFL. However, once the tech is perfected, the smart helmet will be made available for other sports.
There is also the possibility of virtual reality being incorporated into the industry as a means to allow sports fans to "attend" a particular game that they were unable to attend in person.
Most people today live fast-paced, busy lives; therefore, it's not uncommon to hear that someone is simply too busy to make regular trips to the grocery store. That's where the tech comes in: consumers are looking for fast, inexpensive, efficient methods to get their shopping done and more brands are finding the solution in home deliveries. This past summer two major retailers, Walmart and Costco, began testing out different home delivery services.

Another method consumers have been trying out are literal grocery shopping apps; these apps have a range of functions that can vary from producing a conveniently-placed grocery list, to searching for coupons, to even ordering your items to a store for either a curbside pickup or a home delivery.
While technology in the world of fashion isn't new, that isn't to say that the fashion industry has fully explored its potential by utilizing tech. A great example of technology fusing with the industry are articles of clothing or accessories that double as tech. The Misfit Shine works similarly to a Fitbit or Apple Watch in which your daily activity is recorded and sent to your phone via Bluetooth. Misfit Shine products also act as very sleek pieces of jewelry that consumers would actually find stylish enough to wear.
3D printing in fashion industry is another example of technology becoming incorporated. Everyone has heard about 3D printers creating prosthetic parts and even heart valves, and if it's possible for a 3D printer to create these items, why not clothing? Fashion designers have already used 3D-printed clothing for the runway; it's only a matter of time before 3D printing is used in stores.

Thermotron: Refrigeration Training Unit
June 9, 2005
The S-4T refrigeration trainer is a self-contained training unit that allows students to build a working refrigeration and heating system. A see-through Plexiglas guard is placed over the rear plenum wall to provide protection from circular fan blades, cold evaporator coils, and hot heater elements. Instructors have the ability to inject real-world failures or faults into the trainer for students to trouble-shoot and repair. The unit can be tailored to meet the needs of students with a wide range of skill sets and experience levels, from beginner to advanced. By incorporating metering devices and components, such as expansion valves and capillary tubes, the trainer can be set up to simulate low-, medium-, or high-temperature refrigeration cycles. Casters are included; when not in use, the trainer can be moved into storage.

The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) announced today that Indiana Grand in Shelbyville, Ind., has earned reaccreditation from the NTRA Safety & Integrity Alliance. The 14-year-old racetrack hosts its biggest card of the season Saturday night with six stakes worth $1.1 million, including the $500,000 Indiana Derby (G2) and $200,000 Indiana Oaks (G2).
This is the first reaccreditation for Indiana Grand, which earned its initial accreditation in 2014 shortly after joining the NTRA. All accreditations carry an effective period of two years.
The reaccreditation of Indiana Grand – owned and operated by Centaur Gaming – was the culmination of a lengthy process that began with the track's completion of an extensive written application and continued as the track hosted several meetings with Alliance officials. An on-site review included inspections of all facets of the racing operations. Interviews were conducted with track executives, racetrack personnel, jockeys, owners, trainers, veterinarians, stewards and regulators.
The inspection team was comprised of Jim Cain, security consultant with 40 years of law enforcement experience including Chief of Enforcement with the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission; Dr. Jennifer Durenberger, veterinary and regulatory consultant with past experience as a state veterinarian, track veterinarian, steward and regulator; Jim Gates, racetrack operations consultant, former general manager of Churchill Downs; and Steve Koch, executive director of the NTRA Safety & Integrity Alliance.
Alliance certification standards address an extensive list of safety and integrity concerns within six broad areas: injury reporting and prevention; creating a safer racing environment; aftercare and transition of retired racehorses; uniform medication and testing; jockey health and welfare; and wagering security.
"We are happy to be part of the NTRA Safety and Integrity Alliance," said Jon Schuster, vice president and general manager of racing at Indiana Grand. "This organization does great work for the welfare of our industry and we are proud of our team for continuing to receive best practice grades during the evaluations through the Alliance certification standards."
Indiana Grand is one of 23 racing facilities fully accredited by the Alliance that together host 94 percent of Grade 1 stakes and attract more than 70 percent of North American pari-mutuel handle. The others are Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park, Canterbury Park, Churchill Downs, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots, Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack, Golden Gate Fields, Gulfstream Park, Gulfstream Park West, Keeneland, Kentucky Downs, Laurel Park, Los Alamitos Race Course, Monmouth Park, Pimlico Race Course, Santa Anita Park, Saratoga Race Course, Suffolk Downs, Sunland Park, Turfway Park and Woodbine.
The NTRA Safety & Integrity Alliance is a standing organization whose purpose is to establish standards and practices to promote safety and integrity in horseracing and to secure their implementation. Corporate partners of the Alliance include Lockton Insurance and Hagyard Equine Medical Institute.

BC hasn't been so lucky lately. First Darius Wade broke his ankle and now Jon Hilliman is hurt. We are headed into the Duke game as a touchdown underdog and no idea what either of our QBs can do. But there is hope from an unexpected place: the weather forecast.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the forecast for Durham, North Carolina for Saturday is terrible. There is 100% chance of rain and winds in the teens. If Hurricane Joaquin turns right into North Carolina, the winds could be even worse. I don't take hurricanes lightly, but as long as the players and few fans are safe, I don't mind both teams playing in a downpour.
The weather works both ways. It will be just as tough for BC to move the ball as Duke, but we have less to lose. Our D is tough under normal conditions. In bad weather, we can shut any team down.
The weather can also invite fluky things to happen. If we were the better, more efficient team that would be an issue. But our offense is at the point where something odd might give us a chance.
There is always the chance that the hurricane could turn and not impact North Carolina at all. If that happens, then BC will have to hope for some type of luck.

Hoping for Hurricane Joaquin
2 comments:

I agree completely. Even better would be a cancellation. We'd get a bye when we could really use it, to give the young QBs more practice now when they can use it up. Under that scenario the game would be made up later in the year when our young guys would be more ready. Either way, "Let it rain"!

Kind of a clever discount policy from Duke based on the forecast for rain on Saturday.
ESPN article said the field can drain 8-10 inches an hour. They should sell the sod to Bangladesh.

Goodwill Opens New Retail Outlet
GRAND RAPIDS — Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids held a grand opening of the relocated Goodwill Store at 54th Street and Division Avenue on Dec. 1. This marks the fifth Goodwill store in the greater Grand Rapids area featuring the new store model.

The new location features:

FIFA, Qatar in talks over World Cup 2022 after rift.
The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) on Tuesday said it was communicating with the Qatari Committee for Delivery and Legacy, the body responsible for organizing the World Cup 2022, after the rift between the Gulf country and some Arab nations.The committee did not comment on the events taking place at present.
Meanwhile, Reinhard Grindel, president of the German Football Association (DFB), said that the DFB will discuss the "new, complex political situation" with Qatar's federal government."There are still five years to go before the World Cup starts. During this time priority should be given to political solutions rather than threats of boycott," Grindel added in a statement.
"But one thing is clear. The football community worldwide should agree that…major tournaments should not be played in countries that actively support terror," he added.The comments followed news that Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE, alongside other Arab countries, have announced severing their diplomatic relations with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism and Iran.
Various airlines, particularly from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, have announced suspending their flights to and from Qatar.

I understand this firefly phenomenon does not occurring throughout the year. There are peak times to see the fireflies. Can you please advise on the best time to view this event.
Question about Kampung Kuantan Fireflies
The fireflies actually put on their show all year round, the thing to consider for the best possible light show is the weather - you're looking for fine weather on a clear night. If you can avoid going on the weekend there will be less people, so more quiet and a marginally better experience.
...and it's in the evening so don't go in the middle of the colder season, or in the wet - even if it's not raining the mozzies are worse. You'll still be able to see the fireflies but it won't be in quite as much comfort.

You guys seriously ask tough questions, and I love it.
This week, I had originally wanted to make a more lighthearted video to lighten things up from the last rather heavy video (Why I ended up in music school). But seeing this comment weighed so heavily on my heart that it was literally the only thing I could think of whenever I thought of what video I should make this week:
I mean, seriously, how heartbreaking is that? Reading this comment hit home for me so hard. The story that I tell in this video is not one that I had planned on telling you guys for a while yet. I always try to tell stories that I've already "gotten over," but I can tell from watching myself speak about this that it's not an experience I have fully gotten over yet.
I honestly don't think I ever will. And I realized that that's okay.
It's true, I have not always played at the level that I play at right now. I might be better than a lot of flutists now, but I know that I'm still not the best. It's a strange balance you need to find between feeling like a crappy musician and feeling super excited that you have so many new tricks, techniques, and perspectives to explore.
I won't lie, there are still days that I still feel like the worst musician ever. I even sometimes question why you guys look up to me so much. But there are more days that I realize that I'm here for you guys for that exact reason; I want to reach out and tell you all that it's quite normal to feel this way.
We're in this together. <3

I was born and raised in Virginia, but I love to travel and explore new places. I am a middle child with two brothers. I received my bachelors' degree from William and Mary in Virginia, and I graduated from Princeton Seminary in May 2014. In my free time, I love writing, working on art projects, and spending time with friends, as well as going on the occasional hiking trip. I also love old movies, and my favorite meal is biscuits and sausage gravy. I have felt called to the ministry since I was a small child, and God has been faithful, leading me toward that goal.
I have been on many ministry adventures over the last few years. Through Princeton Seminary, I traveled to Ghana for three months and served Christ Presbyterian church in a small community there. I then spent two summers working at Glacier Camp in Montana as senior counselor and curriculum director. I also worked as a student intern for Watchung Avenue Presbyterian in North Plainfield, NJ and completed a year of CPE at Capital Health in Hopewell, NJ. I started my new adventure at CAPC and Center Presbyterian in Seaton on Dec 1, 2014.
I am married to Matt Van Winkle, and am stepmom to his terrific son Carson. We have two dogs, Greta and Niko, and two cats named Freddy and Marm.

Alrosa inks agreement with GJEPC
The memorandum of understanding, signed Thursday in Moscow by GJEPC Chairman Vipul Shah and Alrosa President Fyodor Andreev, is a step toward greater direct trade between the two countries, both of which are major players in the global diamond industry.
Alrosa produced 34.9 million carats of rough diamonds in 2012, and it is the world's No. 1 producer in volume terms and second in value terms, with only De Beers topping it.
India, meanwhile, remains a major hub for the cutting and polishing of diamonds.
The country imported 163.11 million carats of rough diamonds worth $16.34 billion and exported 36.46 million carats of polished diamonds worth $20.23 billion in calendar year 2013.The amount of rough Alrosa sells to Indian companies has been growing for the past five years and totaled $700 million last year.
Under the MOU, Alrosa and the GJEPC agree to exchange information that would help to develop cooperation between the Russian and Indian diamond sectors, such as overviews of the diamond market situation, Indian and Russian trade figures, and information on Indian diamond market research.
The goal is to streamline overall trade procedures to allow for more direct imports of Alrosa's diamonds into India and to increase Indian exports of polished diamonds to Russia, Alrosa and the GJEPC said.
"India has long sought long-term contracts between Alrosa and the Indian cutting and polishing industry," Shah said at the signing. "Both trade bodies look forward to cooperating and exchanging information in the framework of implementation of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme and jointly seek to maintain separate sales of both natural and synthetic diamonds and diamond jewelry. This is just the beginning."
RELATED CONTENT: In Russia, AWDC strengthens ties with Alrosa
India is the latest country with which Alrosa is working to forge a deeper partnership. Last month, executives with the Russian mining company signed an agreement with officials from the Antwerp World Diamond Centre.
Alrosa, which has its eye on becoming the world's No. 1 producer in value terms, also has been increasing its presence in the United States and its mining ventures in the African nation of Angola.

Real estate is one of the industries that has benefited greatly from the use of electronic signatures throughout a transaction. However, one area that has remained fairly primitive has been the offer submission process. A few years back, I would get a call requesting my fax number to send an offer. Then, it was what's my email address and can it support a file that's over 4mb. Now, in this Seller's market, it's common I only receive an offer into my email without any notification whatsoever.
Some agents don't even add a message like – here's an offer on your listing. I guess they're just waiting with a pre-filled form and want to be the first ones in the door.
With everyone screaming fairness as a result of losing out on so many multiple offer transactions, I think I found a solution that could be a win-win for our clients, the local agents, and ourselves.
Starting this weekend, all Jonathan and Associates listings in the MLS will feature a link out to a listing website with a "Make Offer" tab. Currently, this functionality is only for real estate agents (interested Buyers can engage a local agent who can assist with submitting an offer).
Once the agent completes a basic, one-time registration process, they will be able to add some basic information on their offer, upload their documents and they are done! The Listing Agent and Seller are both notified and can view the offer immediately!
Yes, that's right! No more mystery if the agent ever presented your offer to the Seller. They see the terms right away!
In the situation where there are multiple offers submitted on one listing, the other agents cannot view the terms of each others offer. However, the Seller and Listing Agent can and respond appropriately.
Sellers will continue to receive an Offer Review sheet to compare each offer the Listing Agent can respond to the Buyer Agent as appropriate.
With this continued tight housing market, I never want to have a Buyer or Buyer's agent accuse me or anyone associated with me of not presenting offers to the Seller. This system will hopefully be a transparent solution that gives Buyers and their agents the confidence that their Offer has been reviewed.

Washington High School choirs and alumni will present the 75th performance of Handel's "Messiah" on Sunday.
MASSILLON Standing among fellow singers, Carri Weller feels right at home.
It was 25 years ago that she stood on the stage with other Washington High School choir members for the annual presentation of Handel's "Messiah."
"I felt like a real kid again," Weller, a 1994 graduate, said.
Then Carri Stanley, she took part in the 50th anniversary of the presentation of "Messiah" as a senior. On Sunday, Weller will join about 80 Massillon students and dozens of alumni as they mark the 75th presentation of the musical composition.
Long-time tradition
When the program began in 1943, school officials had no plan to repeat the performance the following year, explained Robert Cannon, director of choral activities at the high school.
"It wasn't meant to be a tradition," he said. "The director at the time wanted to start something big and change it every year, but the community loved it so much they kept bringing it back and it has become what it is today."
In the beginning, the chorus would sing the iconic songs of Handel's oratorio accompanied by an organ at a local church.
While small changes were made over the years, the program has remained mostly unchanged, he said.
At some point, the performance was moved to the high school for added space and a professional orchestra was added to accompany the singers, Cannon said.
Cannon, who will take the podium for the third year, said the earlier shows featured members of the chorus in white robes configured in a cross with the remainder of the chorus surrounding them in blue robes.
This year's presentation will feature the sophomores, juniors and seniors of the Advanced Choir and Select Choir.
Several of the choir members have solos that they have been perfecting for months, Cannon said.
"They have worked on their solo for the duration of the year," he said. "They auditioned for it and worked very hard to be in that spotlight. It's very difficult (music)."
Each year, several alumni join the choir. Cannon said they have a central core of alumni that always participate.
Some return each year while others come when they can.
Weller has been back one time before this year to perform. She joined the chorus in 2011 when her sister-in-law, Kennedy Nemeth, was a senior member of the choir.
"There are a lot of memories," Weller said, adding that she is performing with children of her friends from high school.
She recalls working with Loren Veigel and the late Paula Morgan during her time as a Tiger.
"They made you feel so incredible. They believed in us," she said. "They made us feel like we were professional singers by teaching, encouraging and believing in us. They allowed us to carry on this tradition every year. Some of the songs in the "Messiah" are pretty tough. We began practicing early in fall to be ready for the show."
During the first rehearsal for this year's presentation, Weller admits she had butterflies in her stomach as she remembered how challenging the piece is, though the students were welcoming and helpful.
Weller said she loves to sing, and participating in the performance is exciting because of the 75th anniversary.
"It's another big milestone (of the show)," she said. "I was in the 50th presentation."
End of an era
With the 75th presentation of the show, it will be the end of an era.
Cannon explained rising costs, lack of alumni participation and the dwindling crowd have caused organizers to re-examine the show.
Next year, the chorus will present selections from "Messiah" but the performance also will offer new concepts, including the addition of eighth- and ninth-grade choruses.
"We have worked very hard to get our numbers up and our finances are looking better however the attendance has not changed," Cannon said. "The following years will have portions of the "Messiah" but we are reinvigorating the show and hoping we can appeal to more."
Officials hope going forward the show will be more visual and appeal to all ages.
"The only thing constant is change," Weller said of the departure. "They can keep the tradition and put a new spin on it and hopefully rope in the younger crowd."
A special cake honoring the 75 years of the show will be on hand for participants and visitors to enjoy.
Cannon also hopes to display memories shared by those who have been part of the show throughout its storied run. Memories can be posted on the Massillon Choirs Facebook page or emailed to Cannon at email@example.com.

Because the numbers are indeed slippery, it is not possible to put an exact figure on how much of that is going to come out of the pockets of retirees. It is possible, however, to get some idea of how much they are going to be hurt financially.
The biggest hit comes in the form of health care cuts, which have already been instituted as a result of actions taken by Orr. Instead of being enrolled in health insurance plans where they pay 20 percent of the cost and the city picks up the rest, the vast majority of retirees are now receiving $125 monthly stipends (some, such as police and firefighters injured on the job, receive as much as $400.)
That reduction is the single largest "debt" the city will be shedding – about $4 billion.

In order to pursue proper education in Zambia, children need to start from pre-schools to primary schools. Next are secondary schools and colleges and finally universities. These could either private or public.
Broadly, Zambian education can be split into two; Public education and Private education. Under private education, we can also add religious education. But, a larger percentage of the education system in Zambia is made up of public institutions.
Click here for more information about Questions Asked About Zambian Education.
In public schools (and some private schools), the normal dress code is the school uniform.
The majority of Zambians have been educated through Public schools. All public schools are the responsibility of the state.
Due to a shortage of school places as a result of having fallen behind in the construction of new schools to catch up with the ever increasing population, the government resorted to maximising the use of school buildings.
Although private education is beyond the reach of many Zambians, a lot of private schools have sprung up.
Private schools are known for a low student to teacher ratio, a small number of student enrollment and high academic achievements. This has enticed many parents who can afford to take their children to private schools.
Until recently, preschools were not part of early childhood education for the majority of Zambians. Today however, there are pre-schools in most of the residential areas of major towns and cities.
Primary School education is broken into the lower and upper primary. Primary education starts from the age of six or seven and lasts for seven years.
Pupils take their exams at the end of the seven years of schooling. Successful ones proceed to secondary/high school.
The requirement for entry to secondary school is a primary school certificate or completion of primary education.
The duration of secondary schooling is five years made up of two years at junior secondary level and three years at senior secondary level. Exams are taken at the end of each level.
Colleges in Zambia differ widely depending on what field(s) the college offers. There are those which offer engineering, journalism, medical, teaching, law, dentistry, information technology, agriculture, business and many other courses. And duration of the course also differs.
Admission requirements vary from one college to another, but the usual requirement is the secondary school certificate or simply the school certificate.
Generally, the cost of college education largely depends on whether the institution is public or private.
Because of the small number of places available at university level, only a relatively small number of secondary school leavers have the chance to pursue university education.
Of late, a number of universities have come on the scene. Apart from the traditional government owned Mulungushi University, University of Zambia and Copperbelt University, a good number of universities, such as Copperstone University, Zambia Open University, University of Africa, Rusangu University, Pamozi University, Cavendish University, University of Lusaka and Chreso University have been established after the University Act of 1999. Some of the public universities are still under construction.
Just like with colleges, the entry requirement is the secondary school certificate/school certificate. Duration depends on the field/programme being pursued.
Because of a number of teachers going outside the country and a rise in a number of private schools, public schools are finding it hard to retain qualified teachers, leading to a shortage of teachers in some schools. Especially hard-hit are schools in rural areas. They also face problems in recruiting teachers who usually vie for urban areas.

We are about to set off an another one of our Turkish adventures. This time we are going to go WWOOFing. WWOOF is an acronym that stands for Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms, and it is frequently used as a verb by those who participate as volunteers or guests. WWOOF is a loose network of national organizations that facilitate placement of volunteers on organic farms.
The Turkish brand of WWOOF calls themselves Bugday (wheat in Turkish) or TaTuTa. Their website, Bugday.org, isn't particularly user-friendly until you've paid membership dues (45USD/person) and then you've earned access to the details of over 80 organic farms across Turkey. Our first attempt to WWOOF begins on April 1st at Narköy Çiftlik (Pomegranate Village Farm), a farm in Kandira, Kocaeli near the Black Sea, just one and half hours north of Istanbul. One previous volunteer had this to say about Narköy: "Beautiful spot and super-nice owners and staff. There's a variety of things to do and learn." And while the listed volunteer duties for April indicate we will be harvesting and planting, one can never be quite sure what exactly is in store when you are earning your housing and meals through farm work. We are after all working six days a week, five hours a day for our stay.
I've never considered myself a gardener, and frankly I am more inclined to believe I have more of a black-thumb than a green one. I've killed three (or more) basil plants during my two years living on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. I even have limited success with cactus, and they tolerate water-deprivation and neglect as long as they are somewhere near accessible sunlight. To say the least, I'm a bit nervous about all that WWOOF might have in store for me. My Peace Corps motto may serve me well while I am at Narköy: try everything once. So I'll hold true to that motto once again since, after all, it is only a three-week commitment and I can do anything for three weeks. I think fun, experiential learning, and light-hearted spontaneity is in store for me these next three weeks.
***Note: due to unforeseen events, we only stayed at Narköy Çiftlik for a day and then returned home to Istanbul. The farm itself was beautifully kept and serene; and the Narköy staff were incredibly hospitable, happy and generous. We thank them for their understanding and wish them a fruitful planting season!

Day 1 ends 4BYA as stated is referencing this earth as it was when light was created. The source of that light was the sun and the state of the earth 4BYA is it was a small ball of molten lava and it's rotational speed was that 1 complete day was about 6 of our hours. Science also promotes the moon was a lot closer and about there science starts to get it wrong. Lava in a molten state on a fast spinning globe will be acting like a centrifuge in that heavier material will sink and the lighter material will rise to the surface. The lava sorts itself in layers that id dependent on density.
To help that along science also promotes the moon was a lot closer so there were tides of molten rock and since there was no solid parts yet the tide was endless and no winds as the heat from the lava melted anything incoming, clouds for things with a low melting point and heavier item came is a liquid rather than stone so it was a gentle growth and gravity was the only process at work for the next 3.6BY and the next part of the process begins.
This part is not something I have mentioned before in any detail. The counting system would put the start of day at 40,000,000,000BC as when the universe began to form. The void is mentioned as the beginning without matter as we know it. It is promoted that we are expanding at an increasing rate and that will continue. We will end up back in the same void that we came from. Our universe has a certain number of stars and if that number is increasing then we are getting hotter and hot things expand. At some point the trend will be that more stars will die than are born and we are still expanding and eventually no stars will be born and matter will be so far apart it cannot form something that attracts something else. Welcome to what we call a black hole. A collapsing universe has the mass centered on a certain part and that makes the places the weak link so collapse and density can only go so far and then it blows. Our big bang was probably something like the moon and earth only on a much bigger scale and it never reformed and it is like the asteroid belt but in the shape of a soccer ball one that is expanding at a faster and faster rate.
Day 2 ends 400MYA it sees a crust develop on the earth and it could have been caused when the heavier matter that was in the moon migrated towards the earth and the volcanoes spilled out the heavier metals and it migrated to the earth as cold matter than cooled the surface enough that a crust started to form and gasses could start to fall as liquid, very cold liquid. That day ends with water being found at the highest elevations of dry ground and that is where the next part of the process begins. Length is 360M years
Day 3 ends 40MYA it sees the forests being created. Trees are mentioned and the forest is an eco system that would have developed just like one does today. The other parts of the forest like birds and crawlers are mentioned later only because they are less important to the story rather than they were created by themselves later on. The process went on right until the end of the 6th day.
For the sake of argument water could just begin to collect in the deepest parts as they would have been the last parts to get cold. Forests would have reached down that far and the water that then fell brought the level up to where it is now. The vid 'snowball earth' could be quite close to what did happen and civilization would have started high and moved down as the ice melted and the expanding rifts would have collected the water.
Day 4 ends 4MYA and the sun and moon are finally given names and their purpose is created, they mark time as we know it as far as days/months/years go. Stars are mentioned last as they are the least important to the whole story. That being said that is when angelic beings live and when they go to their promised new heaven that leaves the universe empty and mankind just enters it at the end of Re:22. Universal salvation prophecises that all of mankind will enter that place. The ones that were alive for the 1,000 year reign make their home inside of New Jerusalem and the ones that are resurrected at the Great White Throne will make their homes outside of the city. All other flesh is also resurrected down to sparrows will also be resurrected once the worlds become homes to immortal beings who have the same mission as Adam and Eve.
Day 5 ends 400,000 and the oceans as we know them were created even if that process began at the end of day3. Whales are mentioned and that would indicate that birds fell into the water and over the period of a few million years they ditched the feather and moved the nose up the face. Being warm blooded and having the same spine motion shows the relationship. Ge:1 promotes 3 species, birds are top dog in the forest. whales are top dog of the seas, and man is top dog of the land animals.
Day 6 ends 40,000YA and it starts with Adam being created in the garden area as defined in the Ge:2 creation story. The Med Sea is the west border and it goes south as far as the Nile. It goes east two rivers to the east for that border and as far north as the middle river reaches. It is a watershed area and the size of the Jordan River in Eze:47 is how it would have flowed back when God and Adam were in the Garden naming things. Without water the seeds could not sprout as the rest of the planet named Eden was full of life already. Eve was the last thing God created and after that day ended nothing new could be created. What was created cannot be un-created but it's size can go as low as a remnant or thrive depending where you are in the book that goes into some detail about how sin is defeated in the end.
Day 7 ends 4,000BC Satan and other angels would have had access to all of Eden except for the Garden area and the ancient megaliths are a testament to their abilities to play with rock things. Man will have that same ability in the new earth portion of things. Megalith.org has a really nice library, part 38 is very impressive as far as showing the past cannot be like it is presently promoted.
The new earth would be the same process as it happened in the past. Because the God of Life is going to resurrect all flesh that was conceived in the time this earth will exist the beginning has to be accelerated even from the time the garden took compared to the rest of Eden.
God likes patterns Ge:1 is the Alpha and Re:21 is the Omega of the one being that sits on the Great White Throne, when He says, 'It is done.' He is referencing this earth as being labeled perfect rather than very good.
The 1,000 years will see the holy land go from being desolate to being like it would have if sin had never entered the garden. The restored Garden is where all the people who have been alive will be when Satan and all fallen angels are released and God sends them to the fiery lake the static population gets an escape. It is what is called the rapture but it comes at the end of the 1,000 year reign only. Here is the verse and there used to be a reward for a rapture verse in the Bible.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look upon the earth beneath:
for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke,
and the earth shall wax old like a garment,
and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner:
but my salvation shall be for ever,
and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Currently there are many Jews who want to nuke Damascus because of 1 verse in the OT, this is my explanation of why that is not what the book says at all.
Ezekiel:38 and the Gog war. Ezekiel:38 is for the 1,000 year reign and the 'battle' that comes when Satan and all remaining fallen angels in the Pit are released and joined by the ones whose bones are buried in a graveyard in Israel in Ezekiel:39.
The people that are there at the end of the chapter are the ones at the start of the chapter that complete the 7 year clean-up and the 7 months of gathering some bones and burying them in a special graveyard that has the name Gog attached to it. The bones belong to the 4 fallen angels that manifest into the 200M horsemen and it is by these being that the 12 Tribes are brought down to being just the 144,000. By the evening of the day Jesus returns and kills all sinners the whole House of Israel will be alive and standing in Israel.
If Gog does not exist until 7 years into the 1,000 year reign then they cannot be in a war at the start because part of the vials is the river of blood and that is the death of those angelic horsemen. There are a few clues in Eze:38 that it is the 1,000 years such as Jerusalem is an unwalled city during that time and it is only during that time that the people are living in safety for the first time. An earlier reference to Damascus being part of prophecy that you believe is happening either means you are working off materials somebody has handed you or you missed more than a passage or two of Scripture. The bones of men that dies as part of the return do not have their bones gathered and placed in the City of Gog.
Damascus is 1 Gentile city mentioned when all Gentile cities are also flattened. Jerusalem is the first one and it is hit with the same fire that God used on Sodom.
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air;
and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne,
It is done.
And there were voices,
and thunders,
and lightnings;
and there was a great earthquake,
such as was not since men were upon the earth,
so mighty an earthquake,
and so great.
And the great city was divided into three parts,
and the cities of the nations fell:
and great Babylon came in remembrance before God,
to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
And every island fled away,
and the mountains were not found.
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven,
every stone about the weight of a talent:
and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail;
for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
To wit,
and the cities of Judah,
and the kings thereof,
and the princes thereof,
to make them a desolation,
an astonishment,
an hissing,
and a curse;
as it is this day;
And all the kings of the north,
far and near,
one with another,
and all the kingdoms of the world,
which are upon the face of the earth:
and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name,
and should ye be utterly unpunished?
Ye shall not be unpunished:
for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth,
saith the LORD of hosts.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
evil shall go forth from nation to nation,
and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth:
they shall not be lamented,
neither gathered,
nor buried;
they shall be dung upon the ground.
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;
and the city shall be taken,
and the houses rifled,
and the women ravished;
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then shall the LORD go forth,
and fight against those nations,
as when he fought in the day of battle.
When the Son of man shall come in his glory,
and all the holy angels with him,
then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
And before him shall be gathered all nations:
and he shall separate them one from another,
as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
All nations means all nations.

Our 3 different types of Acrylic Liquids
Posted by Pauline Anderton on
Maximum Adhesion:
- Setting speed* = Roughly 5 minutes
- You don't need to use a Primer.
- Suitable for beginners
- No lift technology
High Speed:
- Setting speed* = A little less than 3 minutes
- Great for doing 3D nail art.
- Good for professionals or people who work fast with the acrylic
- Primer required
Medium Speed:
- Setting speed* = Roughly 5 minutes
Recommended for beginners as it takes longer to dry i.e it will give you more time to apply and sculpt the acrylic.
- Popular with technicians working in warmer environments
- Primer required
None of them are odorless, but we have been told the maximum adhesion has a more pleasant odor.
* Setting speed will depend on the temperature of the room used in. A warmer room will give a faster drying time.

text: Panning can create a really nice effect. Press halfway on the shutter and when the subject comes into the frame depress the shutter and follow the moving subject with the lens. Try and move at the same speed as the subject. The subject should look frozen but the background will be blurry. Make sure that your shutter speed isn't to fast or you will freeze the subject and the background. I shot this with my iPhone.

News Release
Southwest District, Colorado
March 9, 2017
Contact: Chris Joyner, Public Affairs Specialist, (970) 210-2126
BLM Seeks Comments on Special Recreation Permits
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – The Bureau of Land Management Grand Junction Field Office is accepting public comments on 21 commercial Special Recreation Permit applications.
The BLM evaluates permit applications using specific criteria, including type and quality of customer service, experience, business plan and overall quality of the application.
"We are seeking comments from the public to help us identify potential conflicts with other users, health and safety concerns and any resource conflicts," said Andy Windsor, BLM outdoor recreation planner. "Our goal is to provide excellent customer service and to ensure a top-notch recreation experience while protecting natural resources."
The BLM issues commercial SRPs to provide recreation businesses the opportunity to operate on BLM lands, to implement recreation management decisions, to ensure sustainable and diverse recreation opportunities for all visitors and to ensure a fair return to the public for commercial use of public lands.. Supporting local economies and providing quality recreation experiences for the public by making public lands available for these activities is integral to BLM's management objectives. In 2015, recreation activities on BLM-managed lands generated $543 million and supported 4,625 jobs in Colorado.
To help with its evaluation of these permit applications, the BLM is seeking public comments regarding the applicants' safety history, conflicts with other applicants or their employees while operating on public lands, natural resource protection or any other information that would be useful to the agency as it considers the applications.
Permit applications can be reviewed at 2815 H Road, Grand Junction. Public comments for these permits are most helpful if received by April 1.
For more information on these SRP applications, or to find out whether or not your activity on public lands requires an SRP, contact Andy Windsor or Dru Johnson at (970) 244-3000.
