Rows of milky-white triple crèmes, mold-ripened fromage with rumpled rinds, logs of tangy young goat cheese, wedges of luxurious creaminess surrounded by bloomy crusts. These are a few of the splendors of a new wave of neighborhood cheese stores that opened recently across L.A.
There's DTLA Cheese at downtown's Grand Central Market, Milkfarm in Eagle Rock and Wheel House Cheese in Culver City, all of which have opened in the last several months.
The demand for the dedicated cheese shop stems partly from a keener interest in cheese that has been sparked by a burgeoning domestic cheese industry (even under stricter Food and Drug Administration regulations). And consumers also increasingly want to know where their food, including their cheese, is coming from.
"People are paying attention to cheese," said Lydia Clarke, an owner of DTLA Cheese, "and instead of buying it at the grocery store, they have the opportunity to interact with a cheesemonger to discover the whole story behind the cheese. The more cheese shops the better, especially for artisan cheese."
The latest generation of cheesemongers is bringing cheeses both classic and hard-to-find to neighborhoods that previously might have been gourmet-cheese sparse. Among them are Leah Park Fierro, a pastry chef and veteran of the Cheese Store of Silverlake, who opened Milkfarm on a bustling stretch of Eagle Rock's Colorado Boulevard, and Alex Josef, who opened Wheel House in Culver City and sports a tattoo of a cow on his arm.
"Cheese is just cool," Clarke said. "It's never boring. It's always 'Oh, my God, cheese!'"
Here are seven great L.A. cheese shops, including new and old favorites:
The charming black-and-white shop that Leah Park Fierro opened this spring carries a large selection of seasonal cheeses, along with charcuterie; paper-wrapped, string-tied sandwiches; and local food products. A recent selection of cheeses includes the English Stinking Bishop (rind washed in perry, a pear hard cider), fresh burrata, Four Fat Fowl triple crème from St. Stephens in New York, even squeaky Beehive Cheese Co. cheese curds.
2106 Colorado Blvd., Los Angeles, (323) 892-1068, www.milkfarmla.com
Wheel House Cheese
Culver City newcomer Wheel House was opened by Alex Jones along with Steve Jones of Cheese Bar in Portland, Ore. (winner of the 2011 Cheesemonger Invitational), offering about 100 cheeses that recently included favorites such as wedges of Salers and Spanish sheep's milk cheese Malvarosa, O'Banon's Capriole and Jasper Hill's Bayley Hazen, along with more rare goods from Blue Pholia Farm and Brazos Valley Cheese.
12954 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City, 424–289-9167, www.wheelhousecheese.com
DTLA Cheese
Lydia and Marnie Clarke, sisters who also own the Cheese Cave in Claremont and whose grandfather founded Alta Dena Dairy, opened DTLA Cheese this winter, offering about 120 cheeses to downtowners, along with cheese plates and a cheese-centric menu from chef Reed Herrick. Now that we're heading into fall, look for Alpine cheeses that are peaking in flavor and young cheeses made from the milk of animals that fed on late summer pastures (hello, Munster).
317 S. Broadway, Los Angeles, (213) 290-3060, www.dtlacheese.com
Cheese Store of Beverly Hills
The aromas in here are olfactory heaven for cheese lovers. The tiny store always seems overflowing with cheese, overseen by cheesemonger Norbert Wabnig — cheeses of all types, milks, countries, textures and ages. The staff can guide you to the cheeses you're looking for, whether for a party of one or a crowd of cheese-heads. Wabnig also leads tasting events and classes.
419 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, (310) 278-2855, www.cheesestorebh.com
The Cheese Store of Silverlake
This cheese boutique, tucked into a corner of Sunset Junction next to Intelligentsia, is a Silver Lake haven, stocked with cheeses, wine and a small selection of pantry goods. The wrap-around cheese case is always laden with a comprehensive mix of imported and domestic cheeses. And cheesy sandwiches abound.
3926 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, (323) 644-7511, www.cheesestoresl.com
Andrew's Cheese Shop
Andrew Steiner was long known for his impeccable cheese cart service at fine dining restaurant Patina, and he loved the stinky stuff so much he eventually opened his own Santa Monica shop. The 5-year-old store is still going strong, with a great variety of domestic (especially farmstead Californian) cheeses. Always popular are its grilled cheese and beer nights.
728 Montana Ave., Santa Monica, (310) 393-3308, www.andrewscheese.com
Artisan Cheese Gallery
Artisan Cheese Gallery, a Valley favorite, focuses on small producers and individual sellers from all over the world to offer one-of-a-kind cheeses. In the current cheese rotation: five-year Gouda, Parmigiano-like Piave from the Veneto in Italy, Tumalo Farms' goat's milk Pondhopper, Pluvia from Washington (like a blue cheese but without the innoculated mold) and washed-rind Forsterkase, stinky and delicious.

The most widely-used exploration methods in reinforcement learning today (like entropy regularization and epsilon-greedy) have not changed much in the last 20 years. Google Brain argues that these exploration strategies are naive and misguided in large action spaces. Google Brain present UREX, a policy gradient algorithm that explores more in areas of high reward. They motivate UREX mathematically by showing that its objective is a combination of expected reward and a mean-seeking Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence with the "expert" policy. Moreover, we show that UREX empirically performs better than standard methods on a suite of algorithmic tasks.
Ofir Nachum works at Google Brain as a Research Resident. His research focusses on sequence-to-sequence models and reinforcement learning. We interviewed Ofir ahead of his session at the Deep Learning Summit in San Francisco, 26-27 January, to find out what started his work in deep learning, what UREX is, the main challenges being addressed in the deep learning space and his prediction for deep learning in the next 5 years.
What started your work in deep learning?
While working at Quora I was first seriously introduced to machine learning as part of our recommendations system. It was clear that smart machine learning methods had a huge impact on metrics and so I tried to read and learn more about them. It was at the time that deep learning started to really take off so I naturally got pushed to learn about deep learning methods. Through reading about how others use deep learning to solve previously intractable problems and trying it out myself I became convinced that this paradigm would become the key to important advances in the near future.
Can you provide a brief overview of UREX?
UREX is a policy gradient method for solving reinforcement learning (RL) problems. Specifically we take the basic goal of maximizing expected reward and try to augment that with some sort of exploration. The usual form of exploration in other methods is mostly random. Our formulation, on the other hand, prioritizes exploration based on reward. That is, it explores more in areas that have high reward.
UREX does so by making a correspondence between an action's log-probability under the policy and the resulting value (reward) of that action. In such a correspondence, an action should be explored more if its log-probability underestimates the resulting reward. Thus one can see UREX as trying to unify policy and value approaches to RL.
While this tries to provide the intuition behind UREX, there is theory behind it as well! We actually can show that our formulation is intimately related to minimizing a Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence between the agent policy and an "optimal" policy.
What are the main types of problems now being addressed in the deep learning space?
What are the practical applications of your work and what sectors are most likely to be affected?
RL is a field that assumes much less supervision than what is used currently in real-world machine learning systems. Thus any advancement in RL would mean that the next generation of applied machine learning systems will require less supervision.
Outside of your own field, what area of deep learning advancements excites you most?
I'm excited about the recent advancements in generative models and interested in what ways they'll be applied to solve real-world problems.
What developments can we expect to see in deep learning in the next 5 years?
I imagine that the image and translation systems we have now will scale up to even more unimaginable accuracy and be applied in ways that significantly affect our everyday lives.

Comedy, music, and horror don't intersect all that often (thus the name of this blog). I guess you could count "Monster Mash," which is a decent novelty, but not a high point for any of the three elements. Closer would be this scene from the horror/comedy film Shaun of the Dead, a personal favorite. Comedy and horror make great partners – both are about ratcheting up tension, but what they do with that build up is vastly different. Comedy resolves the tension into a small euphoria. Horror brings it to the point where it is untenable and then sparks an explosion of revulsion or disbelief. Both can be physically draining if they are done right, which is why a good comedy/horror flick can feel like rigorous aerobic exercise.
Shaun of the Dead puts that together with a great soundtrack and choreography. There's even a light show. The main characters are trapped in the Winchester pub, trying to lay low and figure out their next move. The streets are crowded with zombies. Making a lot of noise would be a profoundly bad idea, and Ed (Nick Frost) has a knack for profoundly bad ideas. He starts playing a slots-like Dracula game with bells and whistles and lights, and naturally, it rouses the dead, including the recently reanimated John the bartender. As Shaun (Simon Pegg) and company figure out how they are going to subdue John, the jukebox kicks on with Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." I particularly enjoy the pool cues thwapping in time with the beat. Wonderful.

Stockpiling: What is it, why should I do it?
The best way to save money on groceries is to stockpile. Stockpiling is buying a larger quantity of an item than you normally would because you are getting it at rock-bottom prices, sometimes even free! Stockpiling can mean different things to different people. It often depends on your individual circumstances, such as storage space or your grocery budget that week.
An example of stockpiling:
If I see that toothpaste is on sale for $1 and I have a $1 coupon, then the toothpaste would be free.
If I have 10 coupons for it, why not buy 10 toothpastes? It won't go bad and you can eliminate toothpaste from the budget for quite awhile.
Another example:
Laundry detergent is on sale for $4.00 each. You have a coupon for $2.50 off. That makes the detergent only $1.50 each! Great price, especially when normally it is $6.00. You can buy 4 of them on sale with coupons for the same price as you'd normally pay for 1, so why not?
What do I stockpile?
There are many items that are great for stockpiling. Here is a list of some of things I keep a stockpile of:
Toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, mouth wash, shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, body washes, soap, razors, shaving cream, cough drops, bandaids, papertowels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, fabric softener, handsoap, canned goods, pasta, cereals, jello & pudding mixes, cake mixes, muffin mixes, and the list goes on.
For most health & beauty, pharmacy, and cleaning supplies, the shelf life is going to be at least 1 year. So you can stock up on 1 years worth of these items without worries. For food items, I typically don't stockpile items with less than 6 months of a shelf life. I always check the products at the store for dates. Sometimes to cans or 2 boxes of cereal sitting side by side can vary on their use-by dates by several months or more.
Doesn't it cost more to buy 10 things?
If you just focus on 1 thing at a time & not try to rush out & get all of the deals possible, then stockpiling is a very viable option without increasing your grocery budget. Obviously if 5 items you'd like to stockpile are all on sale and you have coupons to make for a great price, if you bought 10 of each, you would still be paying quite a bit up front for all of those items. If that is in your budget, great! If not, don't worry or get discouraged. Sales happen frequently. If you are able to eliminate one thing from your budget at a time, you can free up cash for the next item to stockpile and reduce your expenses. After just a few months, I bet you'll notice a difference in both your budget and your shopping habits.
Some sales also happen in cycles.
If you are brand loyal, stockpiling can be harder because when the particular product you use is on a killer sale, that particular brand may not go on sale again for awhile. If you aren't brand loyal on things, it is a bit easier.
Also, sales are seasonal. In the first of the year and in the spring, cleaning and pharmacy items go on sale a lot. In the summer, the bbq sauces, seasoning, condiments, and other summery items are on sale, in the fall/winter baking items and soups/chilis are often on sale. That is why it is great to stock up for a year during those time frames.

Grilled Onions (literally)
posted by Unknown , on , No Comments
When you go to a restaurant you always hear people ordering "grilled onions" or see them on the menu. So the other day for lunch I thought I would fire up the grill and cook some next to my chicken. A little EVOO, S&P, and I was ready to go! Well about 5 minutes into my experiment my onions started falling apart and sticking to my grill!! Carefully as I could removed them from the grill and after a taste I realized that people don't really "grill" onions. They saute' them and called them grilled.. FYI do not go through all of the work cooking them on the grill.. not worth it unless they are on a skewer.

Click here to view photos from the service taken by Cameron Bishop.
By Kara Witherow, Editor
In the oldest Methodist church in Georgia, on Sunday, Sept. 18, 2016, Bishop R. Lawson Bryan and his wife, Sherrill, were officially welcomed to the South Georgia Conference and Bishop Bryan was installed as resident bishop.
Mulberry Street United Methodist Church's historic sanctuary was filled with clergy and laity from around the conference who came to welcome the episcopal couple, worship together, and offer warm hospitality.
The service was a joyous occasion featuring majestic music, a moving presentation of signs of episcopal ministry, and an inspiring sermon preached by Bishop Bryan.
After a welcome from Rev. Jimmy Towson, senior pastor of Mulberry Street UMC, and a greeting and prayer from Dr. Rick Lanford, Dean of the Cabinet and Superintendent of the North Central District, Mulberry Street UMC's Ainsworth Choir performed "How Firm a Foundation."
A highlight of the service included the presentation of the eight signs for episcopal ministry. The presenters were lay and clergy chairs of conference boards. Each read a statement and gave a symbol to the bishop, representing shepherding, the prophetic Word, baptism, communion, service, teaching, supervision and appointments.
Other conference leaders offered prayers and read various scripture passages.
Bishop Bryan's message was personal and passionate.
"South Georgia gave me my first church home," he said, speaking fondly of his early, formative years at Bainbridge First United Methodist Church. "Thank you for the many ways you have blessed my life."
He spoke passionately about purpose and joining God in His kingdom work.
"God has a great purpose," said Bishop Bryan, after quoting Ephesians 1:9-10. "He is uniting all things in Christ, and we get to be a part of that! He has made us alive together in Jesus Christ. So I only have one purpose – to cooperate with what God is doing around the world and in my own area to bring the world together, all people, all places."
He invited South Georgia United Methodists to look in their neighborhoods, their communities, and around the world and see where God is moving and join in.
"The world needs what The United Methodist Church is uniquely equipped to provide. We cannot ask others to do what we are uniquely equipped to provide. So I ask us to stop watching the news and start making the news."
He concluded by calling on everyone to embrace God's purpose and to live lives each day that reflect that purpose.
"We know what God's will is – to unite all things together in heaven and on earth in Jesus Christ. We can align ourselves, our language, our thinking, our churches, with that purpose, and then we can act immediately.
"Align with God's purpose – act, day in and day out, aligned with that purpose – because that's how we're alive together in Christ."
Following the service, a reception was held in Mulberry Street UMC's fellowship hall.

com·plain vi \kəm-ˈplān\ to express grief, pain, or discontent (from Merriam Webster Dictionary)
Phil 2:14 Do everything without complaining…
Russell mentioned this in his lesson Sunday and I have been thinking about it a lot. I realized I complain much more than I care to admit and I am going to try my best to quit complaining. It may not be as easy as I'm hoping. That very morning I recalled that I had mentioned to a brother "how cold it was" in the auditorium.
Are we not in a sense saying I deserve preferential treatment when we constantly complain? We complain that it's "too hot, too cold, too windy, not enough time, too fat, too ugly, and too poor." We complain when someone is driving too fast or too slow. Complaining reveals discontentment.
Have you ever heard (or said) any of these among your church family – I don't like the color of the carpet, the old songs, the new songs, the pews are too hard, on and on and on…
Now look at what follows verse fourteen and be reminded of why we should not complain – Phil 2:15-17 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life — in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
Rather than complain, we are told to rejoice, to be content, to build each other up and encourage each other.
(I found 133 references for "rejoice" in the NIV)
Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Phil 4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
Rom 15:1-2 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
1 Thess 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
2 Cor 13:11 Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
Rom 14:19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
My challenge to myself and to you is to listen to what comes out of our mouths for the rest of this week and make a mental note of every complaint and then resolve to change the complaint into something you can rejoice about.

Second Spanish buying trip postponed due to volcano – oh how bothersome! Actually, it's disappointing but not disastrous as we discovered so many good batches of stock during the February visit that we're still able to place an order and be well stocked up for the next few weeks. And compared to the blow of a cancelled holiday, or worse, the interminable boredom of taking up residence in an airport departure lounge for days on end, well, it's just a minor inconvenience really.
But every cloud has a silver lining and this one is the beautiful, clear blue sky, unsullied by nasty 'vapour' trails that linger for hours.
Daytime temperatures are slowly creeping up but we're still suffering very cold nights with some plants remaining reluctant to awaken. When visitors tell us they're concerned about, for example, their tree ferns producing new fronds, I point them to our beech trees that are still completely naked, for reassurance.
Met office 5 day forecast is saying 17 degrees for Norwich on Saturday 24th and the forecast we subscribe to, WeatherAction, has predicted, for some time, a heat wave for the last week of April – ARE YOU READY???!!!
The last few days we've been potting cannas and they'll be available in approximately 2 weeks time. Our method is as follows - We keep cannas in their pots over winter in a frost-free green house. At the end of March we turn them out of their pots, cut away the roots and divide the rhizomes into manageable size pieces. We then pack them tightly into wooden trays and cover with compost, which is kept just moist.
The cannas seem to burst into life and a few weeks later (now), when they have developed a reasonable root system, but before their roots become a tangled mess,
they are turned out of their trays and potted into 2 or 3 litre pots and again kept just moist until a really good root system has developed.
All our stock is home grown and we're very vigilant with virus. Nobody is able to say with 100% certainty that their stock is un-virused, (only laboratory tests can certify this), but our plants look very clean and anything that looks suspicious is immediately burnt. At last we've re-built our stock of Canna musafolia, after destroying the whole crop four years ago, and now have plenty available. We had a visit from Ian Cooke, the UK Canna authority last year and he was very complimentary about our cannas and said how disgusted he was with many other nurseries and garden centres that knowingly sold virused cannas to unwitting customers.
I can't gush about Cannas enough. Fast growing, lush, jungle foliage, easy to grow, quick to make up, and what other plant provides such an amazing, flower display that lasts from July until the first frosts? They require minimal frost protection in the winter and reward us each year with such a flower and foliage spectacle. And for traditionalists-type gardeners, who claim they are not hardy enough and are too high maintenance for them to grow, they may care to consider the following-
1) They require far less maintenance over a season than a hanging basket.
2) They are probably hardier than most of the plants in a hanging basket and if you can't be bothered to protect them at least they stand a pretty good chance of surviving outdoors in an average winter.
3) For the same price as you would pay for basket plants you can buy several good size cannas which will give equal flower power (and better foliage too).
Varieties available this year include
Pacific Beauty
Queen Charlotte
Striped Beauty
Indica purpurea

I had heard from friends who visited Cusco that this was a special hotel and so it was. Any place that puts a blue ribbon around the bath may and the tub may is one with attention to detail. The rooms were filled with wonderful reproductions of religious art and the aura I those who had been before us infused the entire complex with a decided serenity; at least until 3am in the morning when fireworks began calling people to the cathedral to celebrate the latest festival. The food was superb with lots of quinoa which was to my liking. One of our Peruvian guides told me they use the cooked grain with apples in a blender to make a breakfast drink. I plan to try it when I get home. A nutritious and delicious meal. No wonder Peruvian cuisine is becoming so popular.

"Hey, watch your mouth!"
Ephesians 4:30-32
"Don't grieve God. Don't break His heart. His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for himself. Don't take such a gift for granted. Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you."
I am my own worst critic. In the verse above when it talks about patience... I find it hard to give patience to myself. So, in this process called life and figuring out who I am, I have discovered that its easiest to start with who He is. Who was and is and is to come. I was made in His image, so why would I speak or think negatively about something that He has created?
"Jesus, take me back to the beginning. Who YOU are and have always been. I know that my understanding of who You are plays a huge role in my reasoning for every breath, action, thought, and decision I will make in this life. Forgive me for not always keeping Your kindness at the forefront of my mind. Because of my human condition and the enemies confusion, I can become disengaged at times. You know this. I've grown used to ignoring my thought habits. The habits that have existed for so long, that I am unaware of what they even are anymore. I pray that You would start revealing the deepest wounds that I've never allowed to heal, the lies I was never meant to believe, and the shame I put on myself for decisions that are already under the blood."
I've prayed this prayer many times and if this kinda sounds like you too, that's normal. It's all of us. The good news is we are all in this together, but it's going to take vulnerability to heal. Get ready, because things are about to get vulnerable. (For me anyways haha)
Have you ever valued someone else's opinion over your own? Even if it made no logical sense, compromised your beliefs, made you settle, or crushed your joy and dreams of the future? Possibly without even really knowing it? I have for sure. Sad, I know. Writing this down, I think... "Why would I let someone walk all over me like that?"
People who know me would assume that the above question never entered into my mind, but it has. More than I care to admit. In every area of my life. Going even deeper, I have trained myself, subconsciously, to second guess every thought, idea, and dream. Why? I don't know when it quite started, but somewhere along the way, I believed the lie that it was impossible to be a pure version of myself. My ideas would never be good enough to stand on their own two feet. WHAT A LIE FROM THE PITS OF HELL. Funny thing about these lies, after I believed them a few times, I started telling them to myself and I'm sure the enemy walked away smiling at his work.
My Abba's heart broke every time I believed the lie that my worth had to come from something I had to do. My fear of pleasing people and valuing their opinions became so much it overruled everything. He was trying to speak, but I already made up my mind about what I thought I had to believe. Truth is, I didn't realize I could change my thought patterns enough to make a difference.
Now that all is super deep. I don't like living in the negativity and depression. Ironic, because I put up with it for far too long. Praise Jesus for forgiveness and abundant mercy. It makes me happy to know how patient and kind He is with us. How reckless and relentless is His love.
Through all of my weakness, I have recognized something through His Spirit. He created me to live in fullness. He did not create me to live in lack. It was never His intention to be separated from me by sin. We know this. Although He is sovereign over all, and knew from the beginning how He would bring us back into direct communication with Him through Jesus, He has given us free will. A will to choose how we want to live our lives. A will to choose what we dwell on when it enters our minds. (Take every thought into captivity. 2 Corin. 10:5) If you are a believer of the goodness and gospel of Jesus Christ, you have a responsibility as a daughter/son to GUARD YOURSELF. Proverbs 4:23-24 talks about guarding your heart, because everything you do flows from it. This includes thoughts, words, and ultimately decisions.
One HUGE lesson Holy Spirit is teaching me in this time of excessive growth is this:
Romans 12:1-2 NIV
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Do you speak the truth about yourself?
This isn't about how you FEEL. I am not saying to neglect your emotions. Emotions are a HUGE indicator of our hearts and the way we are designed by God. They are for our good; to let us know when something has effected us. So acknowledge how you feel, but do not let your feelings override the constant, unshakable truth of who God is.
First, let's look what the essence of the Father.
Who is God? What is His nature?
GOOD, The Great I AM, Constant One, Love, Father, Comforter, Righteousness, Truth, Life, Joy, Peace, a Friend who sticks closer than a brother, Savior, Redeemer, HOPE, Faithful, never leaving or forsaking, never lying, supporter, dream maker, creative, passionate, fulfillment, breath, Light, Wisdom, all powerful, all knowing, always present, etc.
I could go on forever. He is anything you need Him to be and so much more. So keep this in mind as I ask you this next question.
What are you allowing yourself to believe that is outside of God's nature? In other words, what lies are you telling yourself that do not align with what you know to be true?
I'll share one of mine I've struggled with and am overcoming.
"Holly, if you exercised more and stuck to your plan that you were so proud of, you could've been where you wanted to be physically 3 years ago. Instead, here you are again, attempting to start over. Might as well give up, you have every other time. You'll never finish. Why hope for something that will never happen? You're too weak minded. No wonder you can never accomplish other things too. Look at you career. Why can't you make up your mind about what you want? You're just a child. You'll never overcome all this. It's too much. Might as well give up. No one would notice."
STOP. I have an important opportunity here. I could either choose to come into agreement with that, or I could say, repeat, and BELIEVE the following of what I know JESUS says about me:
"Holly, I speak righteousness and wisdom over you. He is proud of you, beloved. You are covered by the blood of Christ Jesus. Goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life, not regret and shame. (Ps. 23:6) When God sees you, He smiles, knowing that you are doing your best to please Him. He is already pleased by you being who you are in Him. You are a chosen, strong, and fierce woman of God. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. You can do ALL things through CHRIST who gives you STRENGTH. You steward your gifts well. As a daughter of the Most High, I choose to partner with joy, peace, and the kingdom of God. I rebuke you, Satan, and you're plans of death and destruction. O my soul, put your hope in God!"
I will yell that. I will whisper it. I will think it. I will write versions of it down over and over again. Anything that reminds me of who HE says I am, until I start believing it too. (2 Tim. 1:7)
1 Corin. 2:15-16
"The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, 'Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?' But we have the mind of Christ."
My dear brother/sister, you must equip your mind for battle. This is real. No monkey business. The enemy is like a roaring lion looking for someone to take down. (John 10:10) Your mind, when unaware, is the perfect place to start. This is an urgent time in the kingdom. We need to stay alert and focused on our purpose: to seek Him above all else and to proclaim His love to the lost.
How do we do this?
Some tools that many of us often forget we have is the Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit. (Eph. 6:17, 1 Thess. 5:8) Immerse yourself in His Word. The scripture is meant to be a nourishment to our souls and MINDS. If you're not feeding your spirit, you're on the path to starving it. Take a verse that resonates with you, a chapter, whatever He is speaking to you, and simply read it. Memorize it. SPEAK IT OUT LOUD. Ask Holy Spirit for wisdom and encouragement. His will for you is to walk and live in FREEDOM, so others around you can also live there as well.
It may seem hard to start and think about all these things that you've been believing, or not believing but that is why we have the Holy Spirit. Oh, what a comforter He is!!! This isn't to condemn or belittle you. It's a starting place. It is to bring HEALING. Don't be so stinkin' hard on yourself. (Easier said than done I know!!) Haha! This is a relationship with a loving Father. He is not asking you to be a brain surgeon and get yourself right on your own, but sit with Him awhile and rest in His presence. There, is the fullness of unshakeable joy.
Healing comes when we are honest with ourselves, trusted friends or family, and Jesus. Beloved, you have been chosen for such a time as this. (Esther 4:14b) Don't let the enemy take real estate that he was never meant to have in your mind. If you want to be free of whatever toxic thinking has held onto you and you have held onto as well, ask the Holy Spirit to free you. He is waiting to cleanse you with His all consuming fire that leaves us refreshed and filled with thankfulness and a fresh perspective of glory.
Be encouraged and excited about vulnerability. It is His desire for you to know Him as He knows you. I had to also choose to look at those seasons of so called "failure" I talked about earlier as part of a bigger plan. My weakness is made strong in HIM. What we see as a loss, He turns into gain. What we see as pain, He turns into joy. Thank Him for what seems to you as ugly because chances are it is already something to be called beautiful in His eyes. Thanking him turns your heart towards His heart. It produces PEACE. Thankfulness = Peace and Joy.
"Father God, help me to become aware of Your voice. I come before you as your beloved child, made in Your image, asking for your cleansing mercy. I believe that my life has purpose, and my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. I will not allow myself to speak or think lies over myself any longer. I am set free by the blood of Christ, and I sit in heavenly places with Christ. The joy of the Lord is my strength, and I will rejoice no matter how I feel. Father, you know me. You see me. You love me. You know my dreams. You are my best friend. Remind me of how much you love me every second of every day. I trust you. I speak blessings and life over my fragile mind and heart. I receive Your healing. I thank you for every blessing you've already given, will give, and the current situation I am in. I acknowledge that Your ways are not my ways and Your thoughts are not my thoughts. In the name of Jesus. Your will be done. Amen."
- If you love books and want to hear more advice, professional wisdom, and God inspired words, check these books out! I loved them and they encouraged me to dig deeper into who God has made me. My emotions, mind, and soul are better because of these! (And the Bible of course.)

Okay sheep hunters...
I'm a very new (only hunted 2 seasons) sheep hunter trying to get a sense of what everybody else experiences.
I'll start this off with my own summary at the end of the post.
So, here are my questions:
1. What general location do you hunt? I'm not looking for spots here, just break it down to mountain range...For example, "Eastern Brooks Range" or "Central Alaska Range" is plenty close enough. If you were lucky enough to draw a TMA or DCUA or another tag and want to include that information, that'd be great.
2. How long was your trip this year? How long do you you usually spend in the field?
3. How many total sheep do you usually see per trip? How many rams? How many legal rams? How many did you decide to pass up because they were "squeakers" or you were unsure that they were legal?
4. How many stalks did you make before you killed a sheep?
5. Do you use whites?
Here's a summary of my own experiences as a "for example"
2005 season
Kenai Peninsula
1 trip/3 days, 1 trip/4 days
First trip 8 sheep seen, no ewes, only 1 maybe legal, stalked to within rifle range but passed shot as I wasn't sure sheep was legal. No whites
Second trip 4 sheep seen, no ewes, no legal rams. No whites
2006 season
Central Brooks Range
1 trip/6 days
16 total sheep seen, 15 rams, 2 legal, 1 "close but no cigar"
2 stalks, 1 ram killed. Whites in pack, did not use.
Thanks for your information! Feel free to add anything else you want to...GPS coords to that 40" ram (;

Types Of Construction Injuries Sustained On The Job
Even in this economy, millions of Americans are still enjoying the fruits of honest labor. Unfortunately, all these honest laborers are liable to work accidents due to the negligent treatment of business owners, contractors, employers or fellow employees. Such accidents can take a big toll on Americans, especially when it comes to workers in the construction industry.
In construction, a lot of debilitating injuries can involve amputation of a finger, hand, arm, toe, foot or leg. According to recent studies, 10,000 American workers have an amputation injury on an annual basis. In any given year, these workers represent approximately 6.5% of all U.S. amputations. Fresno, CA is no different. In a majority of cases, these workers need the help of a Fresno work injury lawyer in order to determine whether their compensation benefits are adequate.
Of course, amputations are merely one form of injuries that can strike at work. Some of the other work injuries include TBI (traumatic brain injury) or spinal cord injuries that can sometimes result in paralysis. These injuries usually happen due to equipment malfunction or similar safety failures. Prolonged exposure to benzene can also have negative long-term health effects.
In serious cases such as these, the victim's goal is to secure adequate financial compensation for the suffering they've endured, the loss of future wages, and any and all medical expenses incurred on their behalf. In order to gain such compensation, victims living in Fresno usually contact an experienced workers compensation attorney. A good work injury lawyer in Fresno will seek to understand a family's struggles and work hard in order to come up with a satisfying outcome.
Some common causes of workplace accidents are injuries caused by defective products and toxic substances. it's up to the manufacturer to warn the employees of the danger involved. When it comes to Fresno work injury lawyers, they usually tell their customers to start by filing a complaint with the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). This is particularly important if the worker in question is still required to use the compromised equipment.
As for injuries caused by toxic substances such as benzene, asbestos and silica, they can be either acute or latent. Acute injuries such as chemical burns are immediately apparent, whereas the latent injuries include cancers and lung diseases that may take years to appear. Due to the time delay, the latent injuries tend to be harder to prove than acute ones. In these situations, the assistance of a Fresno workers compensation lawyer is of utmost importance.

|Social Media Intelligence
By Wendy W. Moe and David A. Schweidel
Cambridge University Press, 2014
About the Book
Social Media Intelligence was published in February 2014 by Cambridge University Press. Written by Dr. Wendy Moe of the University of Maryland, College Park and Dr. David Schweidel of Emory University, Social Media Intelligence addresses how "in the world of Facebook, Twitter and Yelp, water-cooler conversations with co-workers and backyard small talk with neighbors have moved from the physical world to the digital arena. In this new landscape, organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to government agencies to political campaigns continuously monitor online opinions in an effort to guide their actions. Are consumers satisfied with our product? How are our policies perceived? Do voters agree with our platform? Measuring online opinion is more complex than just reading a few posted reviews. Social media is replete with noise and chatter that can contaminate monitoring efforts. By knowing what shapes online opinions, organizations can better uncover the valuable insights hidden in the social media chatter and better inform strategy. This book can help anyone facing the challenge of making sense of social media data to move beyond the current practice of social media monitoring to more comprehensive use of social media intelligence" (Cambridge University Press, 2016).
The book discusses a wide range of applications with examples and case studies drawn from consumer brands, political campaigns and celebrity image management. It is rich in both the theoretical foundations and the practical applications related to social media behavior and marketing. Social Media Intelligence uses the science of opinion to better understand social media behavior, metrics and strategy" (Cambridge University Press, 2016). The book is 200 pages with an ISBN of 9781107031203.
Reviews and Endorsements
"This is the first book to combine meaningful analytical depth as well as practical forward-looking advice to the area of social media intelligence. Moe and Schweidel do a great job of blending their well-respected academic insights with cutting-edge business decisions in order to bring real clarity to a rapidly growing topic that desperately needs it."
- Peter Fader, Frances and Pei-Yuan Chia Professor, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
"Gathering data about social media has become so straightforward that we're all now flooded with information. The real challenge is in understanding that data and turning it into actionable intelligence. This is the book you need to turn the conversations you monitor into business-growing ideas."
- Andy Sernovitz, author of Word of Mouth Marketing: How Smart Companies Get People Talking

You are here : Oranges & Lemons / Shop / Cartridges MC compatible / Kandid
Linn Products / Kandid
(Free UK delivery)
Kandid is Linn's best moving coil (MC) cartridge yet, designed to extract as much musical detail from your vinyl records as possible.... Further Details
* In order to manage your basket we place a small session cookie on your machine which is removed after you leave the site. By adding this item you agree to have this cookie.
Kandid - Further Details
The first thing you'll notice about Kandid is that the motor housing is exposed. With no cartridge housing potential sources of resonance are removed, resulting in purer, cleaner sound, making all your vinyl sound better than ever.
We've also kept the weight of the cartridge down by using a plastic front yoke screw rather than metal. As well as allowing the counterweight to be moved closer to the bearing point which gives a quicker reaction to changes in the vinyl, using a plastic screw eliminates any magnetic interference to the delicate coils in the cartridge.
Another notable innovation in Kandid is the angle of the mechanical body and the tracking angle of the cantilever which have also been moved from 23° to 20°. This means that when it's placed under tracking force on the LP surface, the flux lines remain symmetrical, ensuring that mechanical forces on the coils and iron core remain equal in all directions, avoiding any deformation.
Kandid uses the finest nude diamond, micro-ridge stylus and benefits from a ceramic boron cantilever for ultra low mass and extremely high rigidity. The suspension mechanism supports hand-wound coils secured in a high-precision rigid assembly, terminated with gold contacts on flying leads for superb signal transmission. The coils in the Kandid also feature an extra winding to increase output.
Kandid's assembly structure has been designed to perfectly partner with the Linn Ekos SE tonearm. It is constructed around a machined-from-solid, 7075 aluminium alloy body for complete rigidity and includes our unique triple-point mounting system to ensure a more rigid and accurate coupling.
These are our suggestions, if you would like to find your perfect match, we will be pleased to offer advice and a free demonstration in store, call or email us to arrange a time

Jarenth and I had a lot of fun recording our Star Realms game last time so we thought we would do it again, show off how varied the game can be given how much depends upon building off that trade row.
And I guess we did, but this is definitely my least favourite kind of Star Realms game, the kind where I critically misread the board and the amount of damage my opponent was building up until far too late. Jarenth pays a lot more attention to the starting colour distribution than I do and here it paid off in a lot of cheap high damage yellow cards that I in no way found a counter to. If I had read the situation better I could have at least split some of those damaging cards with him and we could have beaten each other down until one of us won.

I have to learn about XHTML and CSS because the lovely template I was using for all my previous entries unaccountably added an extra column, thereby banishing the profile side bar to the bottom of the page. I don't know if it was as a result of my ill-advised fiddling or it didn't like the links and buttons I was putting in. It's all a learning experience I suppose - albeit a frustrating one.
09/05/06 Postscript - I fixed it! A problem with too many big photos kicking the frames out. It took a bit of trial and error to find though but I now know how to tweak a template.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes About FateQuotes about: Fate
Submissiveness to fate, the total abdication of your own will in the shaping of your life, the recognition that it was impossible to guess the best and the worst ahead of time but that it was easy to take a step you would reproach yourself for-all this freed the prisoner from any bondage, made him calmer, and even ennobled him.
And keep as few things as possible, so that you don't have to fear for them. Give them up without a struggle-because otherwise the humiliation will poison your heart. They will take them away from you in a fight, and trying to hold onto your property will only leave you with a bloodied mouth ... But by owning things and trembling about their fate aren't you forfeiting the rare opportunity of observing and understanding?

Lost some weight!
Oddly enough, while I planned to schedule a small fill this week b/c I had no restriction, I've actually had some restriction. I think this is for 2 reasons: I've been PMSing which means generally I've been pissed off - which leads to higher stress and more restriction. And the other reason is I've had some emotional stress because a co-worker was accidentally killed last week and I attend his funeral yesterday. I've not attended a funeral since my own Dad passed away and while I was there to pay my respect to my friend Jerry, I couldn't help remember my own Father's funeral. Gulp. I miss my Dad so much! But it was fine and clearly a celebration of his life cut too short. It also made me realize that I do not take enough pictures of myself. I obviously avoid it b/c I don't like how I look. But as they played pictures on a slide show at the funeral - seeing him with a big grin on his face b/c of the big fish he caught, scuba diving pictures, hunting pictures, all kinds of family celebrations - just pictures of great times! He had the biggest cheesy smile in all of them! I couldn't help reflecting on what pictures would define my life? I just don't have any! There would be a lot of pictures from times where my inhibitions fell to the wayside due to drinking too much or accidental pictures that are less than flattering! Just imagine what my slide show would look like! LOL! Unflattering accidental photos and drunken photos! Wooot! That simply wouldn't be pretty would it?
So, I'm taking from Jerry something very valuable. He had a neverending smile and joy for life. He PARTICIPATED in life, you know? I'm going to do that AND I'm going to take pictures (or have them taken) of ME while I'm doing it regardless of what I think I look like. Please make sure you do the same!

This post really made me think! I'm always BEHIND the camera so my BEHIND isn't in the photo! I've had a hard time the last 3 months having my picture taken so much and posting them to my blog ~ why cuz I don't like myself in pics! But I really want to be able to see the difference between pre surgery and post surgery pics so I ask for my picture to be taken. I have enjoyed my life and I'd like my "dirt nap" photo slideshow to reflect enjoyment!! Thanks for sharing! ;-)ReplyDelete
I just read through your whole blog and I'm struck by your determination. I admire that you are sticking with positive choices even if the scale doesn't give you the number you want to see. I'm sure the scale will eventually start moving more, it has to! Anyway, I'll be getting banded in a few months, after I finish going through all the insurance loops. I look forward to following your blog and sharing along the way.ReplyDelete
Hey Meandmygizmo - i'm so glad you're going to get in front of the camera too! Its crazy to think about it, but we have nothing for our kids and friends and family to look back on and remember how happy we were, you know? What are my children going to have to look back on? nothing. So let's fix it!! lets start taking pictures. And you will be so glad you took 'before' pics. I think somehow that defines the beginning of something great! A journey to get to that 'after' pic! :)ReplyDelete
Hey Robyn! I really appreciate the comment about my determination. I'm thinking the same thing - if I'm doing everything right, it really DOES have to happen eventually. I really wasn't doing the exercise nor the eating part well, if I was honest with myself in the beginning. Its really the blogs that I'm reading of others that is really inspiring me. And no one has ever said I inspired them! Thank you for that. It means a lot! i can't wait to hear how your journey goes! let me know when you hear from the insurance company. You are so smart to get out here and read the blogs now. To learn now from other's and their real experiences is so very smart of you! I was a little behing in that area. And let me tell you, Its everyone else's blogs that keep me going!ReplyDelete

We offer cremation services for the aftercare of your pet. We also carry Paws of Remembrance™ Memorial Paw Prints.
Please call our clinic for more information on our Euthanasia services.
