We were broken into more than once while we lived in Berkeley, one time when we were gone only for 45 minutes. We were being watched, clearly. There was even a SWAT team raid once at the apartment bldg. on our immediate south (common property line) for cocaine dealing. We had found crack pipes in our bamboo shortly before the SWAT team raid.
So anyone who comes to my door--even after we've lived in this nice, quiet neighborhood for several years--will get the full "private property; you have no right examining anything I may have here" speech.
To anyone thinking of this approach--please consider what may have happened previously to people whose doors you approach, and be prepared to receive an emotional onslaught if their experience was similar to mine.
Please Share. Thank you!

Amazing comments from our Primary School workshop in Warwick!
Posted byon 30 October 2014
It's so fantastic for us when we see the workshops that we deliever making a difference to young people.
See the comments below from a class of primary school children. Names have been replaces with letters
"X struggles with behaviour issues in class , but the dance sessions really helped him calm down and be more sensible in class" Teacher
"A and B, It's just so lovely to see them smiling and giggling. I've been working with B since year 1 and B has always been a very timid and quiet child and now I see B giggle and smile, B is really engaged and involved" Teacher
"I have seen a big difference in confidence and as a result C's behaviour" Teacher
"I do some "proper" dance outside school but this, [with the dance teachers] is "proper proper"… seeing Boy Blue will be proper proper PROPER!" Participant
In general group chat the group identified that they had learnt new skills and some new dance moves. They were having fun. They liked the music and they liked making up names for the moves including one they have called "Chop Chop". They also liked the challenge of learning new techniques!
What a fantastic response to our workshop. We look forward to delivering many more!

Okay here it is.. I'm laying it out there. Everyone from Dave Ramsey to Suzie Orman would be screaming their head off at me for buying a brand new car. I agree with their reasoning on WHY to buy used cars, I know it's true that the minute you drive a new car off the lot it's value decreases immediately. My personal reasons for buying a new car are mainly the fact that I hate buying other people's problems. I know that other people do not maintain their cars as I would and in fact without www.carfax.com most people would have no clue how many times their pre-owned vehicles had been bought/sold/auctioned, in accidents, in floods, had major work done to them etc.
When my husband started badgering me YEARS ago that as soon as his car was paid off that I was buying a new car. I just didn't see the reasoning in going back into debt to buy another car when we just got out of debt. So I started scrimping and saving as much as I could to buy a new car. Unfortunately, my car didn't make the cut and I bought a car a few months shy of having the full payment which is fine because I have a home equity loan that I've kept open. I figured I would just borrow the remaining balance and pay it back in the next couple months as fast as possible. This is a win/win situation because borrowing against this home equity line helps my credit because we've closed all of our credit cards except one, and the one we kept we lowered our balance on. Many people do not know that closing accounts HURTS your credit. Also, creditors want to see that you have between 3-5 active revolving accounts. Other than my mortgage we have used nothing for months. I finally broke down and started using our one credit card for small purchases that could be paid off each month.
Okay so as soon as my husband started searching Carmax over and over and over looking for a car that I would like, was reasonably new with low miles I knew that if I didn't take some control he would wind up trying to persuade me just to buy a car so the deed was over with. (sorry but he thinks his truck is going to die any day now and me being in line for the next car was hindering his dreams of buying a Dodge Challenger in the next few years HA). Friday during the day and then Friday night I realized my key issue had gone from bad to worse. It was now taking between 4-8 hours to get that darn key out of the ignition.
My son and I started surfing a few more sites and as soon as I realized that the Avenger was going for only a couple thousand dollars more BRAND NEW versus the used cars that my husband was looking at.. I started actually warming up to the idea. Then I saw that Dodge had a new LIFETIME power train warranty and I started reading and realized UNLESS you are the first owner of the vehicle this warranty is null and void. I buy my cars to drive them into the ground. I buy new so I can get every mile I paid for and drive them into the ground so I can get penny I spent. This is just my personal thinking. Then, I saw that Dodge had employee pricing plus a local dealer added on a few other rebates.
We went in, got the car on Saturday and came home and then I realized I never got a rebate I had seen advertised on my Credit Unions website. I had mentioned it to my sales guy and he said he would look into it for me because I couldn't remember the exact details. After spending 6 hours there, driving multiple cars, deciding on what to do that $500 actually left my brain. I called dealership on Monday and talked to the Sales Manager and he told me I had to get a loan through my credit union. He said he would still allow the deal and not put my paperwork through if I could get this done in the next couple days.
I called my credit union early this morning and actually was able to get it done before noon today. I asked to leave work at 4pm, drove home got my husband and drove out to the credit union to sign docs and get our check. Then we drove out to the dealership, signed new docs, got a free car wash (yes my car was already dirty, stupid Chicago winters), and got home within 2 hours. Not bad.
So.. this is how I got the $500 (and you can get) or even $1,000 on a brand new Chysler or GM car http://www.lovemycreditunion.org/ has joined up with credit unions around the country and this deal lasts until June 30th 2009. If you happen to be in the market for a new car, check it out.. or pass it on. Okay Okay.. and before you get too jumpy YES I did have to get a loan for my car through my credit union to get this $500 bonus rebate, HOWEVER, I fully intend on paying it off as quickly as possible. If I can continue to keep our spending down we'll have it paid off in 4 months so I'm not too concerned.

I also drive my cars into the ground and well mine is almost to the ground lol.

Wow! Paid off in 4 months. . . .Maybe someday I will get a new car but until then, I will drive the one I have until it dies.

Good job! My car is an '85 Chevy Celebrity and it's on life support! LOL It sat in the parking lot at work from Tuesday until last night. Then when DBF (a mechanic) goes with me to check on it, it starts! It's very cold natured and just getting worse. I CAN NOT afford a new car or a used one so I just have to keep this one running for another year or so until I can get another teaching position---I'm currently an assistant.

I am in the market for a new car ..We need more room for new baby and baby parphenalia !
However , about the lifetime powertrain warranty ..it is valid when a used car is purchased through a licensed dealer. It is the person to person transaction that voids the warranty.
My dad is retired Chrysler Dodge employee and I ( we ) have only ever had Jeep, chrysler or dodge cars due to our discount ( which is more than employee plus btw) .
I think this time however I am going through CarMax.com . They have lots of VERY low mileage cars from rental agencies that still have the majority of the original warranty on them . Since I only drive about 9,000 miles a year I'll have tthat warranty for years ! With my trade in I should only pay around 3,000 OOP for a 2008 SUV .

Awesome post!
If you move forward to buy a car, here is a tip:
When buying anew car you should bring a piece of paper to the dealership and make sure you do all the math of the finance calculations yourself. The point is not that they will do the math wrong. The point is you will see exactly how the deal is structured. Do not be afraid to take the time to do this or look like a fool.
Here are five other steps that may save you thousands if you follow them next time you buy a car: http://www.butasforme.com/2009/03/29/how-to-buy-a-new-or-used-car/

- On receipt of you spouse's financial documents, provide further advice to aid negotiations
- If agreement is reached, prepare the draft court order and supporting documents and manage the process of submitting them to the court. If there are no divorce proceedings at this time we will draft a separation agreement for you.
What is not covered in Stage 2
- Any work or advice on divorce, children or domestic violence issues
- Any conveyancing work necessary to implement an agreement.
- Any court or professional fees, for example, for the valuation of property or pensions, or barrister's fees
- A court application, other than obtaining a financial consent order
- If there is no agreement after 4 months, we reserve the right to terminate Stage 2 at that point.
What will it cost?
The fixed price for Stage 2 is £600 + vat.
An initial deposit of £200 + vat is required.
A second payment of £200 + vat is required on exchange of financial disclosure.
The final payment of £200 + vat is required, together with any court fee at the point the draft consent order is ready to be submitted to the court for approval or the separation agreement is ready to be signed.
The Fixed Fee for Stage 2 will be reduced by £120 if you reach an agreement in mediation.

I'm on vacation this week, with only dial-up access. Therefore, my posts will be less frequent than usual (and, yes, I know that isn't all that frequent). But here in the US, it's the 4th of July - a very patriotic day.
So, I'm on my snail-like connection to share an excerpt from John F. Kennedy's innaugural address years ago. It's a message of challenge - and a message of hope. Go read the entire address, and see if you see it's applicability to current times as clearly as I do.
Happy Independence Day, USA!
"So let us begin anew--remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring these problems which divide us.
Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms--and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.
Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.
Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah--to "undo the heavy burdens [and] let the oppressed go free."
And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved. All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.
In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need--not as a call to battle, though embattled we are --but as a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"--a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility--I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people of any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it--and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but together what we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own."
--John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961

Loving well
Loving well is not always easy. It is often quite difficult. We struggle with our own selfishness and prejudice, hindering us from loving others as we ought. Its like canoeing upstream when turning around to move with the momentum of the river would be much easier. Fighting the current of our own flesh often frustrates our more pure desire to love well.
Not to mention that the definition love has been molded and manipulated into many forms. We use the same word to represent how we feel toward our iPhone, our favorite coffee and our spouse. Dictionary.com lists 28 distinct ways that the word love can be used. It isn't necessarily good or bad that we have so many uses for the word love, what is important is that when we use the word love, we do not confuse what meaning is intended.
Even the Bible is not monolithic in its use of the word love. There are three different greek words in the Bible that we often translate as love. They are agape, phileo and storge. There is also a fourth greek word, eros, that is often associated with love.
The key element I want to focus on comes from the greek work agape. This is the love most often associated with the love of God because in 1 John we read that God is love [agape] (1 John 4:7-12). This is the sort of love that is grounded in the very character of God.
God's love as our example
When I consider how I ought to love others, the love of God is what first comes to mind. Jesus gave this instruction to his disciples:
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:34-35 ESV)"
Jesus instructs his disciples that they are to love one another. But this doesn't seem like a "new command." What is new about Jesus telling them to love one another? I believe that the new command is that Jesus grounds his command to love one another in the example of Jesus' love. Jesus says, "just as I have loved you..." We are to love one another in the way that Jesus loves.
John took this teaching from Jesus to heart. Elsewhere in the Bible he wrote, "Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another (1 John 4:11)." John appeals to the love of God as a way of pointing his readers to also conduct themselves in love.
Jesus is our example of love.
A key element to loving well - taking the first step
In his love for us, Jesus took the first step. "In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:10)." We did not love God. He loved us. We did not initiate. He initiated. We did not take the first step. He took the first step. He sent Jesus. God demonstrated his love when he made a way for us through Jesus, even while we were still sinners and enemies of God (Rom 5:8-10). We did not take the first step. We were blind to the ways of God because of our sin. We would not have sought him out if it were not for his desire to seek us out first.
When I consider the initiation of God to love us first, I am compelled to believe that part of loving others well is taking the first step. In his love for us, Jesus took the first step. We are called to do the same with others. This has massive implications for all of life. Here are a few ways that taking the first step in love can impact our lives.
Initiating with our spouse
How often have you waited for your spouse to take the first step toward reconciliation after a fight? I am telling you that loving well means you take the first step. Even if you don't think you were in the wrong, take the first step. This is highlighted even more for men in the marriage relationship, because Paul calls the husbands to be like Christ (Eph 5:25). Christ took the first step to reconcile our relationship with him, so we should do the same in our relationship with others, especially with our spouse.
This also means that we are actively pursuing a deeper relationship with our spouse. We are thinking ahead to ask good questions and pursue a deeper relationship. Take responsibility to move toward your spouse today.
Initiating with our neighbors
Jesus did not wait for us to come to him to begin a relationship. He did all the work to make it possible. If you want your neighbors to see the light of Jesus, do not wait for them to come ask you. You go to them. Do not wait for someone to stumble into your church to build a relationship. Do not wait for your neighbor to knock on your door with cookies. You take the step to meet them first. Initiate in relationship with the people around you. Jesus did. We should as well.
Initiating in reconciliation
I already discussed this in the section about spouses, but the example of Jesus regarding reconciliation is too great to not expand my exhortation. If you have a relationship that requires forgiveness and reconciliation, do something to initiate. Do not sulk to yourself about their lack of initiative while you do little to pursue forgiveness yourself. This will look different in each relationship because of various histories, pains and hurts. There is no one-size fits all, but because of the example of Jesus, I believe you are called to take a step in the direction of reconciliation. Even a very small step in love can bring about a miracle through the work of God.
Initiating to meet a need
Sometimes we observe a need in someone around us. Or maybe someone shares a prayer request in our small group about an area of need they have. One of the ways we can show the love of Christ in our communities is to initiate in seeking to meet a need. This doesn't need to be complicated. The first step can be to simply ask if there is a way that you can help. But don't ask if you are not prepared to follow through on their response. You don't need to wait for someone to ask you specifically. It also isn't always wise to assume you know the best way to meet the need. But you can always ask.
Take the first step with someone today
Here is my call to action for you today.
Pray and ask yourself who you might be called to love more intentionally today. Who is God inviting you to love well today? And then take a step that would be a clear expression of your love. It might be a step toward repairing a relationship. It might be a step toward deepening a relationship. Or it might be a step toward beginning a relationship.
Whoever it is, you take the first step. We would be lost if God had not done the same for us. Shouldn't we do the same with others?
And let us know how it goes in the comments section below.

Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
From Biology-Online Dictionary | Biology-Online Dictionary
necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
An acute or recurrent gingivitis of young and middle-aged adults characterised clinically by gingival erythema and pain, fetid odour, and necrosis and sloughing of interdental papillae and marginal gingiva which gives rise to a gray pseudomembrane; fever, regional lymphadenopathy, and other systemic manifestations also may be present. A fusiform bacillus and treponema vincentii can be isolated from the gingival tissues in large numbers and are felt to play a significant but poorly defined role in the pathogenesis.
Synonym: fusospirochetal gingivitis, trench mouth, ulceromembranous gingivitis, vincent's disease, vincent's infection.

• Bank of England Minutes Could Save the British Pound
• Reserve Bank of Australia Considered a 50bp Rate Hike?!
What are the Best and Worst Performing Currencies Against the US Dollar?
With President's Day now behind us, volatility has returned to the currency and stock market. Having been up over 100 points intraday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day down 10 points. Long gone are the days of universal dollar strength or weakness. The US dollar sold off against most of the major currencies except for the British pound and Canadian dollars. The best performing currency today was the Australian dollar and Swiss Franc which benefitted from the $22 dollar jump in gold prices and signs that Australian interest rates will head higher. The Canadian dollar and the British pound on the other hand were the worst performing currencies against the dollar because next to the US, the most aggressive easing is expected to come from the UK and Canada. We only see cohesive price action when central banks around the world employ the same monetary policy of raising or lowering interest rates. Unfortunately when we have the Reserve Bank of Australia raising interest rates and the Bank of Canada lowering them, trading currencies has become much more complicated than being pro dollar or anti dollar. Tomorrow we have consumer prices due for release. Food and energy prices have been on a tear and for those reasons we expect consumer prices to rise as well. If CPI surprises to the upside, the best trades to take may be long USDCAD and short the GBPUSD. If CPI disappoints, expect the Australian dollar to continue to be one the currency market's best performers. The NAHB housing market index rebounded in the month of February due to an increase in buyer traffic. We do not that think the rise in the homebuilder's survey will be repeated in building permits and housing starts. With interest rates and house prices declining, bottom fishers are slowly beginning to sniff out the inventory, but just because they are sniffing does not mean that they are buying.
Bank of England Minutes Could Save the British Pound
There has been no data released from the UK today and as we expected, the Northern Rock story continued to weigh on the British pound. Nationalization is never good news for a developed country and the credibility of the UK government which has already been dealt a serious blow will come under more fire in the coming weeks. In the meantime, there could be a potential for a British pound recovery over the next 24 hours. The Bank of England will be releasing the minutes from their latest monetary policy meeting, along with money supply figures and the CBI Industrial Trends Survey. Although the Bank of England cut interest rates by 25bp earlier this month, the accompanying statement and Quarterly Inflation Report released last week was not extremely dovish. Even though BoE Governor King recognized the downside risks to growth in the Quarterly report, he raised the bank's inflation forecast and warned that near term inflation will continue to breach their 2 percent goal while running the risk of breaching the government's 3 percent limit. If inflation rises beyond 3 percent, King would be obligated to write a letter of explanation to Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. With this even being a remote possibility, it will be difficult for King to justify another rate cut.
Visit the British Pound Currency Room for the latest support and resistance levels.
Reserve Bank of Australia Considered a 50bp Rate Hike?!
According to the minutes released by the Reserve Bank of Australia last night, the central bank actually considered raising interest rates by 50bp earlier this month. Since the middle of January, the Australian dollar has rallied over 600 pips because Australia is the only developed country that is raising interest in an environment where everyone is else is lowering them. Today's announcement is icing on the cake for Australian dollar bulls. With a booming economy and rising inflation pressures, the RBA only opted to raise rates by 25bp because the financial markets are still unstable and they can always tighten further in March. Central bank Assistant Governor Edey expects inflation to continue to rise, which means that another 11 year high in interest rates is practically a given next month. The Canadian dollar on the other hand fell sharply today disappointing CPI and wholesale sales numbers. Despite the fact that oil futures touched $100 a barrel intraday, the Canadian economy is getting progressively worse while the strength of the Australian economy continues to catch everyone by surprise. For that reason, on a percentage basis, AUD/CAD was the day's best performing currency pair.

One of the main reasons why the European Central Bank refuses to cut interest rates is inflation. Tomorrow, their hawkish stance may be validated by the German producer price report, which should have increased materially last month. Like the rest of the world, the Eurozone will be affected by the recent rise in food and energy prices. The futures market currently expects the European Central Bank to cut interest rates by 50 to 75bp this year. German PPI will help to determine whether those expectations are overly aggressive. Meanwhile, the Swiss franc is stronger across the board thanks to the rise in gold prices and the optimistic tone of the Swiss National Bank. According to their annual report, the SNB believes that the private consumption will remain strong, leaving a favorable outlook for the Swiss economy.

Carry Trades Still Struggling
Since the beginning of the month, the Yen crosses have been trapped within a wide trading range, making it frustrating and difficult for anyone still long carry. In fact, the only carry trade currency that is trading at a level higher than it began this month is AUD/JPY. Volatility in the financial markets continues to be very high, which has made it very difficult for carry trades to recover. We believe that this will remain true until we see some stability in the US economy.

I was pleasantly surprised by the museums in Bogotá. To ensure all Bogotáns have the opportunity for cultural enrichment, all of the musuems offer one admission free day. Something I support! Free access to a museum or art gallery can really be an uplifting moment in your life. When I was unemployed I would regularly go to the AGO on Wednesday night and it made a huge difference. It took my mind off my worries and took me to a place of wonder.
I did not go to all of the museums in Bogotá. So this is not a comprehensive list all of the must-see museums and I'm sure I missed on some that others would say require a visit. I visited about 6 museums in totally. The most on my first day in Bogotá, which was a Monday and I had plenty of time after the Graffiti Tour! But, this is the list of the I'd recommend.
Museo Botero
5/5. Must see! Donated art by the famous Fernando Botero and admission is free.
Price: Free of charge.
Botero Museum houses 208 art pieces donated by the famous Colombian artist Fernando Botero, 123 of his own pieces and others by artists such as Klimt, Picasso and Monet. It's a glimpse into the life of the famed artist and I found his own work to be the most fascinating. I had seen his work but, just one of the famous pieces and to see more of his work, especially the more political art made me feel as if I understood a bit more about Colombia.
Museo de Arte Miguel Urrutia -MAMU
4.5/5. A great modern art museum and yes you should see it on Monday.
Price: Free on Monday's
Museo De Arte Miguel Urrutia is located next to the Botero Museum and housed some very unique and interesting contemporary art pieces. This was my second favourite museum – I love art and I love contemporary art. I did know any thing about Colombia's contemporary art movement and to see the Colombian interpretation of the abstract or minimalism movement revealed a whole new take on art I love. The history of colonialism, violence and classicism of Colombia is stamped in its art.
Museo del Oro (Gold Museum)
Rating: 3/5. Super popular but, not as much gold as you expect.
Price: Free on Sunday's.
One of the most popular tourists spots to visit, the Museo del Oro was not as impressive as it sounds – I was expecting WAY more gold . Maybe it is because, like its coffee, all of the best gold is not to be found in Colombia but in the West ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . It is still an important museum for the history of the country and one that shows you the damage colonialism inflected. To think this rich culture was destroyed by Europeans is very sad. Think what our world would be like if Europeans had wanted to build a relationship versus pillage and conquer? I was but, I'd recommend you visit this on its free day if your short on budget.

Today was the first day of my prolonged holiday break--I don't go back to work until January 2nd. You can bet I have a whole lotta sewin' plans going on. I'll be happy if I even get a third done of what's in my head for the week.
I started off today by joining with some folks from church for a sew day of "Little Dresses for Africa," although I think, given the make-up of our congregation, we're planning on sending ours to Myanmar (Burma). But don't quote me on that--I was just there to sew, I'm not actually responsible for anything, a fact which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I warned the woman coordinating it: I'm a quilter, not a garment sewer. Don't expect much. 8th Grade Home-Ec trauma, doncha know. But the pattern was quite simple, and I have done a pocket or two in my life, so once someone explained the process to me, I was good to go.
Here's the irony--I went to sew but never actually did much sewing. There weren't enough machines to go around and it became apparent another young woman really wanted to learn how to sew. So I let her use my machine and she was in the very capable hands of another woman who is a talented garment sewer. I spent the day cutting fabric into dress pieces.
I mean, people--I was actually cutting fabric with scissors. I haven't used scissors to cut fabric in years! Where was my rotary cutter? Where were my rulers? Where was my cutting mat? I was going old school, baby. (We didn't even have "real" patterns--we were using posterboard templates made from tracing around sample dresses. Way old school.)
I was thrilled to donate two lengths of fabric I'd bought while in Hawaii a few years back--modern versions of traditional bark cloth. I had a project for them in my head at the time, but the project didn't come off and at this point, was unlikely ever to. On the other hand, the fabric would make great sundresses, so I was very happy to see them used for this. We cut up one of the two pieces (4 yards worth) while I was there. The other piece (also 4 yards) went back in the bin to get used next time.
I believe, if I were using the same rubric as Pam (for the Sunday Stash report), that would make it a total of 16 yards out of my stash because it counts double when it's donated, right? :-)
Although someone counted about 14 dresses sewn, I didn't sew any of them and ended up bringing one of the ones I'd cut out home to finish. But I'm okay with that. I was glad someone learned how to sew, and everyone seemed to have a good time.
Here's a gallery of pictures from the day. My sewing machine makes an appearance in one of them, as well as my Hawaiian fabric with the template on it ready for me to cut. If the gallery doesn't forward for you, just click on the picture--it should work. (If you're getting this by email, you might have to go to the website to see the gallery. Sorry!)
When I get the dress done, I'll post a picture. Right now it's a pile of fabric cut into odd shapes.

Before we talk about CLC, let's talk about 2016…which hasn't been a great year for Korea, especially for K-Pop fans who have unfortunately witnessed the break-ups of some of their favorite groups, including 2NE1 and KARA.
But 4Minute's disbandment was arguably one of the hardest ones to cope with because they had a distinct style, if not a secret weapon. Of course, with every K-pop girl group, or any good girl group for that matter, 4Minute had their fair share of talented vocalists, but the main rapper Hyuna easily dominated the stage and for good reason. Say what you will about her being sensual with her solo career; not only could she rap, but she brought a unique flavor to every 4Minute song, a talent epitomized by their lead single from their sixth EP "Crazy." While 4Minute's vocalists brought emotional gravitas, Hyuna seemed to play the role of their inner madness, with the help of the lead rapper Jiyoon, and they were able to complete that delicate balance of "I may be pretty, but I'm actually crazy inside." It was a style that was quite distinctive and helped them climb the ranks of second-generation K-pop girl groups, so it is quite possible that their agency, Cube Entertainment, decided to, for lack of better word, try the same experiment on their latest girl group CLC in order to help them stand out.
CLC is Cube Entertainment's latest girl group formed in 2015. CLC, who debuted within the typical formula of "cute girl" for their single "Pepe" that was bound to be overshadowed, attempted to recreate the that edgy, ssen-unni (strong female) vibe that was trademark 4Minute and…it surprisingly works,to a certain extent.
Like 4Minute, CLC do have their fair share of strong vocalists, but their interplay is quite exceptional. Seungyeon's edgier voice anchors the chorus pretty well with Ye-Eun's menacing tone, and Elkie and Yujin's softer delivers give more flair to the song. Of course, Sorn and Seung-Hee, as the more powerful vocalists, do well in developing the crescendo to the chorus, especially as Seung-Hee brings out a more emotional performance.
But of course, in recreating 4Minute's style, there needs to be the Hyuna of the group: Ye-Eun. Eun-Bin isn't that bad of a rapper, but Ye-Eun easily takes the stage with her rougher rapping, which is effective in bringing out that "pretty, yet crazy" undertone that 4Minute was a pioneer of, but it unfortunately lacks Hyuna's darker edge and may come off as obnoxious for some listeners. However, despite the risk in taking that giant step in a different direction, perhaps it is the right one to go with.
Overall, CLC's "Hobgoblin" is a risky track, but a memorable one, and will surely serve as a breakthrough for CLC. People may say that CLC is trying too hard to become the next 4Minute, but in the same manner that BLACKPINK has been known to be the reincarnation of 2NE1, perhaps CLC should continue 4Minute's legacy.

I am in Tijuana, Mexico this week visiting the Tijuana Christian Mission. Begun 50 years ago by an energetic young pastor, the mission now incorporates an orphanage in Tijuana, another in Rosarita, a shelter for abused women (mostly rescued from the sex trade), and a hospice hospital.
The founder (I'm probably not spelling it correctly) Sergio Gomez told us about his life and the ministry he has built. Rather God and he have built. I have written before about praying with intention. Well, he is the best example I've ever heard of prayers answered while praying specifically and with intention. As well as starting the path even when waiting on God to provide.
His family and the other staff are doing a great work (hearkening back to my Nehemiah discussions), and they "will not come down." They keep the faith even when cheated and when promised support withers away.
I'm sitting in the courtyard typing this post listening to the boys playing basketball, a young girl rollerblading, the girls talking, a guitar lesson has just ended. Amazing.
Everything I've learned from my daughter about running a group home and dealing with troubled kids–they are living out. Most of the kids are victims of some sort of tragedy, and most are doing well. They've even had a college graduate recently.
If you are interested in learning more, just contact me.

I hadn't written a post since August 1st. It took me 20 days. I was in a funk.
Four days before Gord Downie played his last concert with the Tragically Hip I was getting my ass kicked by Tracey.
I deserved it. I needed it. I was depressed.
Being the brilliant and compassionate person she is she finally knew she had to step in and put a mirror in front of me and make me realize it was time to pull up my happy pants and to stop letting the drugs win me over. I was better than this.
The day of the concert I had spent 4 hours in the emergency room due to a fever. I had already decided to stop the Pazopanib and was starting on a strong antibiotic so I felt I deserved a drug holiday.
The concert couldn't have come at a better time.
I watched in awe.
When Gord wrapped up the first set with a screaming session I felt like I knew so much of what he was going through. It was like he was channeling my own pain and frustration. A complete mixture of emotions - from the pure elation of enjoying the moment to frustration that this meant he could no longer do what he loved doing. But knew he was doing the session in style and that made him smile and keep going.
When he did two encores I was so energized I could barely comprehend the momentum I had building up in me.
That night I was in the bathroom the whole evening, barely getting any sleep. But I was smiling. I was feeling so great that even the exploding ass couldn't make me sad.
The next night the same thing. And I was even happier. The departure of the drugs were lifting the fog. I was singing Hip songs all day long.
I realized in less than 36 hours that I was going to be ok again. Feeling as crappy as I was with the exploding ass and no sleep was way better than feeling like I was alone and unable to manage my situation.
Watching Downie scream his lungs out and pull off this incredible experience reminded me I too have the same strength.
I just have to dig deep and remember it.
Thanks Gord. Fingers and Toes, Fingers and Toes. We have 40 things in common. 41 if you include the fact that we don't care.
Thanks Tracey. Thanks for bringing me out of the fog. You are ahead by a century.

Mike Coutts was promoted to head coach in the summer of 2015.
Mike Coutts enters his fourth year with the University of Maine softball program, after serving his previous three years as an assistant and the 2014 season as associate head coach. Coutts will work with players in all aspects while focusing in on hitting technique.
Coutts mentored three hitters to over .300 averages in just his second year with the team. Coutts developed junior Jessica Burk to the league's second-highest average as the outfielder hit .384 on the season with 43 hits and four home runs. As a whole, Maine's team average grew from .211 to .257 under Coutts' watch; its highest average since 2011.
In his first year with the Black Bears, Coutts helped all-conference junior Jean Stevens develop into the America East leader with 13 home runs and tied for the league-lead with 38 RBI. Fellow all-conference selection EmJ Fogel also showed high-skill with the bat as she hit a team-leading .305.
University of Maine softball head coach Lynn Coutts announced on Sept. 25, 2012, the hiring of Mike Coutts as assistant coach. Mike Coutts, a former Black Bear baseball team member and assistant Black Bear baseball coach, will focus on working closely with the hitters, infielders and the catchers.
Coutts brings with him a wealth of knowledge on the diamond as he spent the 1987-97 seasons as an associate/assistant baseball coach under the great John Winkin at the University of Maine. During his time assisting at Maine, Coutts helped lead the Black Bears to NCAA Regional Appearances in 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1993 while coaching 10 future Major League Baseball professionals.
Coutts spent four seasons as a member of the Black Bear baseball team from 1978-81. In 1981, as the team captain, Coutts helped lead the squad to a College World Series appearance. Coutts was named to the Northeast Regional First Team in 1980-81; an All-New England First Team selection in 1981; a Cape Cod Summer League All-Star in 1980 and a Yankee Conference First Team selection from 1979-81.
From 1995-2002, Coutts was the head coach of the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Summer Baseball League. While with the Kettleers, Coutts led the team to a pair of league championships in 1995 and 1999. Following the 1995 season, Coutts was named 1995 Cape Cod Coach of the Year. Coutts coached professionals Chase Utley, Garrett Atkins and Mitch Stetter all while they were with the Kettleers.
Following his time in the Cape League, Coutts held head coaching stints in the Alaska Collegiate Baseball League and the New England Collegiate Baseball League.
From 2009-10, Coutts was the head baseball coach at Deering High School in Portland, Maine. While at Deering, Coutts led the team to the 2009 State Championship and a perfect 22-0 record after racking up 50-consecutive victories. At one point, Coutts' Deering squad was ranked as the #50 program in the United States.
Most recently, Coutts was the head coach at Scarborough High School in Scarborough, Maine. While at the helm, Coutts led the team to a Western Maine Championship in 2012.
Since 1997, Coutts has operated the Frozen Ropes Baseball & Softball Training Center in Portland Maine where he has conducted numerous coaching clinics as well as offering one-on-one training in all areas of the game.
Coutts also co-authored "Organization of Indoor Baseball Practice" while producing a video by the same title.
Coutts graduated from the University of Maine in 1982 with a Bachelor of Health and Physical Education before earning his Master of Education/Administration in 1989, also from the University of Maine.
Coutts and his wife, former head coach Lynn Coutts, are the parents of two children; son Jackson and daughter Maggie.

To desire an apolitical Christianity is to ask for a will o'the wisp. Christianity is heavily political: by becoming Christians we are declaring that the kingdoms of this world are not Ultimate and cannot be the focus of worship despite the ravenous hunger of statist politicians since the days of Babel. When we declare that Jesus of Nazareth, the Man now in the glory, is the True King and that one day he will return and the kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdom of the Lord's Messiah, we are making a deeply political affirmation. Yes, and when that happens, politics will never be the same again. The members of the Confessing Church, blessings be upon the memory of those brethren, knew this so well when they stated as much in the Barmen Declaration: "Jesus Christ, as he is attested for us in Holy Scripture, is the one Word of God which we have to hear and which we have to trust and obey in life and in death. We reject the false doctrine, as though the church could and would have to acknowledge as a source of its proclamation, apart from and besides this one Word of God, still other events and powers, figures and truths, as God's revelation."
What we as Baptists reject is the confusion of church and state as in the days following Constantine. But make no mistake about it: to say Jesus is Lord is to make a political statement. The martyrs of the Confessing Church who died under Hitler cannot be understood without recognizing this truth.

Original Thai Dishes
Original Thai Dishes in Santa Monica (1910 Wilshire Blvd., near 19th St.), a longtime favorite. Though we might have kicked off the meal with the greasy-good spring rolls, we kept it light this time and went straight to our entrées, pad kee mow and kang ped. Through trial and error, we have developed our own optimal formulation of the former, a normally spicy dish with mint and green chili, asking for mild (no chili) and substituting vegetables for tofu. The result tonight was a savory, satisfying dish with broad, flat rice noodles in a light brown sauce tossed with broccoli, red and green bell peppers, carrots, onions, scallions, and cabbage, all perfectly cooked, neither mushy nor hard. The kang ped, meanwhile, a slightly funky red coconut-based curry, had just enough heat to warm without burning (we requested mild here too). As with the pad kee mow, we substituted vegetables for tofu and were rewarded with a slightly sweet combination of broccoli, bamboo shoots, peas, carrots, string beans, and mint. We finished with a light, refreshing coconut ice cream (imported from Thailand), in which the coconut did most of the work in flavor and texture, though dairy helped it along. All of this excellent food was ready in a jiffy, astonishingly inexpensive, and served with Buddhist good cheer, bringing to mind a place long ago and far away, NYC's East Village Thai. Fortunately for us, Thai Dishes is just around the corner, and, for Thai food in this city, we have not yet found a better place to go.Staying close to home again, we headed to

That's Odd Episode 26 - Odd Cult Ties
In the late 1970s, the world was shocked by the events at Jonestown when over 900 followers of the People's Temple cult committed suicide at the behest of their leader Jim Jones. One family was able to escape the grip of the cult before that horrific day, however they would meet with another horrific end. And, in late December 1961, Brian Dutton returned home from a long day at work in Liverpool to find his wife Maureen the victim of a vicious stabbing. His two children were left alive, nothing was stolen from the home, and there was no sign of break in or struggle. Investigators were convinced a cult was to blame. Others weren't so sure.

Nearly 60pc of Aussies don't know who's living next door!
Melbourne, Dec 1 (ANI): A new study has revealed that nearly 60 per cent of Australians do not know their neighbours at all.
The survey, undertaken by That's Life magazine, also found that 82 percent of Australian adults believe their parents were better neighbours than they are.
Of the 2,100 Australians surveyed, 59 percent said they never speak with their neighbours and 38 percent do not know their neighbours at all.
"The results of our neighbourhood survey were truly surprising," the Courier Mail quoted Linda Smith, editor of the magazine, as saying.
"Most of our readers remember very clearly the neighbours they grew up with. In our parents' era, neighbouring families would often share meals, mind children, and even provide a cup of sugar or flour, she added.
"But this survey has shown that the picture of the average Australian community has really changed since those times. We are keeping a lot more to ourselves now," said Smith.
However, 73 percent said they would like to get to know their neighbours better.
"These results made us look for a way to motivate Australians to get to know their neighbours in a social setting," said Smith.
She added the survey results prompted her magazine to look for a way to motivate Australians to get to know their neighbours. (ANI)

|Zach Shaff clinched the Tufts victory with a win at No. 4 singles
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The #15 Tufts University men's tennis team earned its second consecutive 6-3 victory over a ranked opponent on Sunday afternoon, taking down #27 Skidmore College at the Wenger Tennis Courts in Saratoga Springs. The victory put the Jumbos at 2-1 for the weekend and 9-5 on the spring season.
The two teams split a pair of tight matches in doubles play before Tufts took a 2-1 advantage after a back and forth contest at No. 2. Ethan Bershtein and Ben Biswas put the Jumbos on the board at No. 3 with an 8-6 win over Thoroughbreds pair Jack McClaren and Jason Keye. Skidmore responded at No. 1 with an 8-6 victory of their own, as Steven Koulouris and JT Wynne knocked off Boris Sorkin and Carl-Herman Grant.
Nathan Niemiec and Zach Shaff earned a hard-fought 9-8 win at No. 2 over Travis Leaf and Suraj Mahtani, giving Tufts a 2-1 lead heading into singles play.
The Jumbos won the first four singles matches, clinching the win before Skidmore took the final two contests. Sorkin disposed of Koulouris at No. 1 singles, 6-2, 6-2. Biswas earned his second victory of the day and fourth in two days with a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 6. Shaff topped McClaren 7-6, 6-1 at No. 4, locking up the win for Tufts.
Grant bounced back from an earlier defeat to beat Leaf in a match that needed three sets to decide, 6-3, 2-6, 11-9. Skidmore's Ted Berkowitz split the first two sets with Tufts co-captain Danny Coran at No. 5, 1-6, 6-3, before Coran was forced to retire. Wynne earned the third Thoroughbreds win of the afternoon in a lengthy affair at No. 2 that also went to a third set, 7-5, 6-4, 14-12.
The Jumbos wrap up their regular-season with a pair of home contests against NESCAC opponents next weekend, with the first being played Saturday April 28, against #2 Bowdoin at 1:00 p.m. Skidmore moves on to Liberty League Championship action on May 5.

Evie and Zack decided that they did not want to know the sex of their baby before it was born. As Zack said, there are not that many important good surprises in life so he didn't want to give up this one. Evie was adamant that she wanted traditional baby clothes. She loves vintage. She particularly dislikes the modern fashion for dressing babies like mini adults, particularly dressing them in jeans. When you come to think of it, jeans must be so uncomfortable for a little baby. I started rummaging in my massive vintage pattern collection for likely items.
Very old books from the 1920s and earlier have delightful baby patterns. However, I decided to pass up "Baby's second set of stays", knitted binders, pilchers and vests. See my post on Ella Allan's delightful books. In Australia at least, it does not get cold enough to dress a baby in four layers of wool. The SIDS people would tell us we were overdoing it, too. However, there are some delightful patterns in these very old books.
Here is some beautiful antique baby knitting I found on Pinterest.
And to finish off, Easter.
I saw this pattern on Craftsy and I couldn't resist it. I put it with the little faun I crocheted him for Easter:

Hatching chicks at school
24 February 2016chicks
At Jessica's school, where I am a governor and Laura works, they've got an incubator of eggs from Living Eggs, so that the school can watch as they hatch into chicks.
On Monday I got a text from Laura wondering if it would be possible to set up a webcam to watch them hatch. We happened to have a wireless webcam that wasn't being used so that evening I got it out to make sure it was working and configured it with an FTP server to upload photos every minute and if there was motion detected.
The next day I took the webcam into school and got it set up with the help of James who looks after the school computers and network. You can see the latest pictures from the webcam on the school website.
In the early hours of this morning the first egg hatched:

Lucy has been offered a place at two sanctuaries in the U.S. that take "retired" elephants from zoos and circuses. The largest of these is the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald Tennessee. In our opinion, this is the best option for Lucy, as it provides the maximum amount of space available, and the sanctuary focuses only on elephants. This facility has vast areas for the elephants to roam in social groups with their own species. Please take the time to check out their website.
Learn more about The Elephant Sanctuary in a small documentary on the facility:
The second sanctuary which is willing to take Lucy in is the Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) sanctuary in San Andreas, California. Have a look at their "ARC 2000" facilities.

In the first two decades of the 20th century, Joliet experienced a great deal of commercial building activity. Most buildings constructed during this period were less likely to include local quarried stone – particularly Joliet limestone – which was common in the late 19th century. Instead, new materials, such as concrete and terra cotta, often were used in new construction.
By the 1920s, the new buildings on the outer edge of the downtown area housed new types of retail businesses, such as department stores and automobile dealerships. While it was essential to be near the central business district, it often was cost-prohibitive to be located directly downtown, where rents often were higher.
During this period, a new building, the Rialto Square Theatre, was proposed to make Joliet a leader in the entertainment world. As part of a planning effort by local business leaders to revitalized the downtown commercial area, the Rialto was designed to draw customers to a stagnant central downtown commercial area.
The construction of this new "vaudeville movie place" in Joliet was the undertaking of the six Rubens brothers, who helped to guarantee the $2 million project. The Rubens brothers also owned several other theaters in downtown Joliet at the time.
Facing west, the rectangular, five-story, terra cotta-clad building was designed in a Neo-Baroque style by noted theater architects C.W. Rapp and George L. Rapp. The Rapp brothers were known locally for other theaters, including the Chicago, Oriental, Riviera and Uptown theaters in Chicago. The noted architects designed more than 400 theaters nationwide, mostly during the 1920s
Constructed by Kaiser-Ducett, the Rialto, completed in 1926, includes a mix of classical and exotic ornamentation, and the scale and style of the many lobbies was unusual for a theater in a town the size of Joliet at the time.
The interior lobby was based on the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles in France. The design was typical for Rapp and Rapp, who often used classic French baroque places as models for their theater interiors.
Located on the northeast corner of Chicago and Van Buren streets, the Rialto Square Theatre stands as a familiar site in the downtown Joliet district. On May 24, 1926, the Rialto was officially opened to patrons.
Over the years, thousands of entertainers have graced the Rialto's performance stage, including Bob Hope, Lawrence Welk and the Marx Brothers.
A campaign to save the Rialto was initiated and led by Dorothy Mavrich in the early 1970s. Her efforts, and the help of others, led to an 18-month, $6 million restoration program to begin to restore the theater to its original splendor. The grand reopening of the theater took place in November 1981.
The Rialto was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Earlier this month in Washington D.C., former government officials and cabinet members sat around a table to discuss our nation's reliance on oil. But they didn't show PowerPoint slides - they played a game. The simulation is called Oil ShockWave, and enacts what might happen in an actual oil crisis. Gene Sperling, former economic advisor to President Clinton, played the role of secretary of the Treasury. Also in this episode: a similar simulation focused on citizen reaction. And: a shoplfting season
Wyoming is in the midst of a natural gas boom. But Bill and Marge West aren't happy about it. Their ranch was once 13,000 acres of quiet grazing lands and hay meadows. Now it's dotted with power lines and natural gas wells. Bill and Marge never asked for any of this - but a complicated set of laws giving the government and private companies mineral rights left them no choice. Also in this episode, Captain Ed Montgomery had his first bout with cancer in the spring of 2005, and as an ex-fighter and a tugboat captain, he was never one to show much emotion. But being diagnosed with cancer three times has changed the way Ed feels about life.
Jean always loved math. But when she was a young woman in the 1940s, there weren't many job opportunities for female math majors. When she heard about a job crunching numbers for a military research project, she jumped at the chance. Jean went on to help program one of the world's first computers. Also on the show: an eco tinkerer goes off the grid.
The idea of using renewable energy has been bounced around by both presidential candidates. Their ads feature wind turbines, which they've made a point of mentioning in their stump speeches. Pete Ferrell is a fourth generation rancher, and sees himself as a steward of the land rather than a property owner. Since the late 1800s, his family has found ways to harness wind power. Now Pete has turned half his ranch into a wind farm. Also in this episode, Phil DuMas was waiting to board a flight while drinking a huge cup of coffee. When he finally reached the ticket counter, he was doing what his family nicknames "the pee pee dance." When the attendant asked him what was wrong, Phil explained he had a case of "PPD." Little did he know that airline personnel understand PPD to mean "paranoid personality disorder."
Politicians are all talking about alternative sources of energy. One such energy source is hydroelectric power, something Fred Ayer knows a lot about. Fred is a fisheries expert who's been involved with hydroelectric projects for decades. After emotional court battles over dam construction took a personal toll on him, Fred started consulting with environmental groups. He talks to Dick Gordon about how he now uses his expertise to bring together opposing sides. Recently, he helped negotiate the successful purchase of three dams along the Penobscot River. also, finding a new faith.
There's a lot of money in green energy these days, and a lot of public interest in getting away from fossil fuels. Many states are looking at generating power through wind. In a remote part of Maine, a wind power company has already set up 38 turbines. Stetson Mountain is now New England's largest wind farm.
Mike Cianchette is the project operations manager there.
