Art & Artmaking: Primordial Thoughts
Personally, I am still working to figure out what art is, what the purpose of art is, and why some human beings even bother to make art. When I go back to the beginnings, the earliest expressions of what we now call art – cave paintings & carvings – I am captured by the thought that those primordial people had something other than making art in mind. I don't think for an instant that our primordial ancestors asked about what they were doing. It's almost as if an urge needed expression and carvings and cave paintings were simply the necessary outlet.
I believe as well that expressions through singing, chanting, dancing, drumming and the like all came into being and developed because of a rising need for the release of celebration and expression that could not be suppressed. They could not simply sit on their hands and ignore these creative urges that were rising up within them.
Today – and I promise to be very brief – art is treated as are all human products as an economic commodity. Those who buy and sell art, after stealing it from the artist – that is all but the motion picture artists – run off with the many objects of art in the world to buy and sell them with vigorous abandon. Success is often measured by the auction block price tag. And while the artist never sees a dime of those later transactions, that artist is deemed a great success because some of their work sold for thousands, even millions, of dollars. These are transactions which completely exclude the artists.
How did we get from our ancestral heritage of mark-making to today's "art market"? It's a question that has interested me for the past decade. Before that time I was all too willing to sell whatever artwork it was that I had made in order to become a "success". No longer though. I've absolutely no interest in playing the art world game with all of its sham, glitter, and goo. I know why I make the art I do and the source from whence it comes. I even know the purpose of my art, and it isn't to garner personal fame or fortune. In fact, since there's little or nothing that I want to do to change that condition, is the question even worth my asking?
I think it may be of some value on a personal level because I am still trying to grasp my role as an artist in this world.
As I'm "talking" here, perhaps the question that I'm after is indeed deeply personal and can best be shaped by asking, how I can reconnect with those primordial ancestors who made such innocent and selfless marks? How best do I draw from their drive because I believe that, for them, it was a spiritual drive. So is mine.
In those primordial days, I don't see someone sitting around thinking in terms of bison anatomy and landscape beauty that they wish to capture visually. I see someone whose entire world was spiritual. This is one of the marks of the emergence of humanity, the acknowledgment of connection with the spiritual realm(s).
I see a duality of vision – harmonious to be sure – wherein those early peoples could see both the living animals as well as their spirits at the same time. I neither know nor care what that looks like in literal terms. What I do care about is the fact of this dual vision they experienced and carried within themselves.
Somewhere, somehow, a person chose to celebrate and express that dual vision in imagery. Carving – even desiring to carve – and painting developed into a means of that celebratory expression. I want to know this selfsame celebration and expression – the primordial essence of what it means to be human and to make marks of meaning.
In my own parallel experience, my life has been deeply touched by Father God. He and I developed a relationship and to this day we live in that relationship. Because Father created me as an artist, something of our spiritual relationship rises up in me and will not be silenced or ignored. I must express and, yes, even celebrate, this relationship through my artmaking with Father. It is this celebration of relationship that leads me to see our artmaking together as an act of worship. If I'd been born as I am, millennia ago, I would have experienced this selfsame life, not of creativity, but of artistic expression.
As it is, I do chant and play drums as worship. I do paint and write as worship. The writing I am doing right here, right now, is an active celebration of my relationship with my Beloved Father God. In a way, I suppose I am that so-called caveman who has dire need to share, celebrate, and express his dual vision of the physical and the spiritual with the others of his tribal clan.
Art is Spiritually Born
In my recent two-way journaling with Father, we discussed the idea that all art is spiritually born. All art comes from a person's relationship with whatever it is they place their faith in and worship. It may be the world's values of ego, fame, and fortune. It may be in one's political inklings, or socially meaningful pursuits. It may be one's religion. Whatever it is we value and worship, there too is the dwelling place of our heart/art.
Father showed me that, in the same way that our tongue (what comes out of our mouths) reveals what's in our hearts, so too does the art we make. No matter the medium, the art itself reveals what and where our treasure is. He has shown me that all art is born out of how we use the gift of creation and creativity, which He has endowed into the spiritual DNA of every human being from before His laying the foundations of this World. It is this sharing of the creative gift what makes human beings unique among all of His creatures. He went on to say that, in the arts, the use of the creative gifts has far reaching effects on history, on societies, on cultures.
Back in 2012, I was invited to a wonderful gathering of faith-driven artists. Some worked in music as a composer and a singer/songwriter. One was a recording studio producer. Several of us were visual artists. One created movement inspired works, and another shared views of the Earth and the Cosmos in breathtaking beauty. One was a director / producer of theatre. A few days before this wondrous gathering, we were all was asked to prepare a 15-minute presentation about where we had come from creatively, where we were at now, and where we saw ourselves going in the future of our art practices. The most startling thing for me was the process of preparing that presentation.
Father and I worked together to gather what I really believed about making art as a faith-driven artist. The single point I want to focus on here is that Father God revealed to me that faith-driven artists are sanctified in Christ, consecrated to His work, and are of the priestly tribe of Levi. Why the tribe of Levi? Because art is the second voice of the Church. We artists, through what we create and express, are able to connect and communicate in ways that no tract, no preacher, no teacher can. Through personal permission, the works are invited into the lives of those who choose to engage them. In that engagement, it is hoped that they find something special and of personal significance.
In these ways; the creative design of our spiritual DNA, the sanctification of our life's work, and the consecration of our Destiny, all come together in the realization that all art is spiritually born.
The Quitter's Manual – Mangerchine
For years, decades really I've struggled with rest, not mere inactivity, vacation, or sleep, but true, deep rest. I was once a firecracker burning at both ends, always working, and always busy. I suffered severe burnout three times. You'd think I would have learned my lesson the first time. In these vain pursuits of success, productivity, or achievement I found my identity and value, just as my culture instilled in me; work hard, live fast, and you'll be a success.
Author, consultant, speaker Jeremy Mangerchine had a similar experience and writes about how Father God was finally able to get him to pay attention to his health, his identity, and his relationship with Him. The book is The Quitter's Manual: Finding Rest in a World Gone Berserk, and Jeremy's idea of quitting isn't what most of us might think. It's a nice brief 108-pages of essential life changing wisdom.
In a wonderful autobiographical series of anecdotes Mangerchine brings us along on his own journey into Father's realm of true rest, of a powerful life in the Presence of God without strife, without struggle, or futile busyness.
What I enjoy so very much is how Jeremy shares his own journey, and doesn't wag a finger at any of his readers. For us it's a take it or leave it proposition, but personally, I found this book liberating, and affirming. I've come a long way on my won rest-seeking life journey and for me, it was good to read how I can better that journey as well as find encouragement in what I'm already doing well.
Great book. Short and powerful read. Life changing, if we want it.
Truth Through a Lens
This evening, I watched a film (80 mins) on photographer Annie Liebovitz, Life Through a Lens. It's aptly titled because following her early career to today, it's an historic walk through the 1970's, 80's, 90's, and now. We revisited San Francisco and the sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll era. We wandered through several decades of Rolling Stone magazine, read by anyone wanting social and cultural change. We moved on to her current work with magazines, Vogue, and Vanity Fair. It was 40-years of American, New York cultural history and influence.
What struck me most was how so many up and comers find their creative expression in such destructive lifestyles. She talked about her incredibly close friendship with the late Susan Sontag, singer & visual artist Patti Smith, and her engaging work in the lives of a vast array of celebrities. This film is a whirl wind tour of the back half of the twentieth century all seen in the tumultuous context that is artistic New York.
This morning Manuel Luz, singer/songwriter and author wrote a wonderful post. In Science, Hendrix, Banned Books & Brokeness he spoke of how truth is so often found even in the midst of lives of death and destruction.
"Angst is real. It's a part of what is true. So if you're wanting music or any art form that is true, you go for truth, regardless of where it comes from. I think Jimi Hendrix was doing something that was actually really true. Now he was coming from a sense of brokenness, and I feel bad for that because he never was able to reconcile that. My faith is what has helped me to reconcile…"
So many Christians in this season – and it's becoming less so, praise God – keep ugliness and unpleasantness at arms length simply because it is unpleasant and ugly. They're not really looking for God's Truth, but merely a quiet, pleasant life. When it comes to their kids being seduced by pop culture, or secular humanism, their tendency is to wall themselves off with their families lest they be contaminated. In this way, these Christians are operating from a posture of fear and are allowing themselves to be neutralized by their enemy, the Liar. To them God isn't very powerful, and evil must be battled even here in the physical / material realm. Folly this.
This is perhaps the main reason the institutional church fights to manage artists who are Christian; much Truth is found amid ugliness and unpleasantness. If the artists are forced to seek Truth in stringently clean, fully Christianized contexts, well then, it will be not only beautiful, but pleasant. However it will contain absolutely no Truth.
Because artists are open, brave, and receptive to the world around them, their lives are often lived as loose cannon, rolling around the deck of life and doing "damage". Christians who wall-off and shelter themselves from unpleasantness and ugliness seek peace and order, something that life has very little of, and in so doing endeavor to present a Theology of Aesthetics. In effect these wall builders seek to dictate and control expressions of beauty and the arts. Therein lies much of the basis of the centuries old friction between the institutional church and artists.
This is why I am creative outside of the church, and in The Church (Body of Christ). I do not allow any institution to dictate to me what I will or will not produce as art. If the creative person is censured, there is little or no Truth in the work, just Christian propaganda; yet another reason why 1-million Christians are leaving the institutional church every year and seeking God in person – directly and relationally.
And all of this was triggered and unpacked just by a documentary film on the greatest cultural photographer of our times. Amen ~

It's a common knowledge that Forex was designed with the major banks in mind; the small-time traders weren't even welcome there for the first 16 years. However, the development of the online trading platforms changed everything, making Forex one of the most newcomer-friendly market.
And now, 23 years later, we are facing a different problem — there are way too many trading platforms. Some were designed back then and are simply updated for the modern hardware, others are designed by the new-age traders to suit their own needs. All of them are free and available for download — and yet there are just too many of them. How to choose the best forex trading platforms?
Luckily, ForexKillerSecrets can help you out here with a review on all the standout platforms. Here's a list:
MetaTrader is a top-of-the-line online trading platform. First released back in 2006, MetaTrader has had several major upgrades throughout its lifespan. And not all of them were enthusiastically received by the community.
The most popular version right now is MetaTrader 4. It introduced trading bots (called Expert Advisors), improved the indicator integration and created a new marketplace where the community can trade custom indicators and advisors. This, combined with a classic interface and a lot of customization options, makes MetaTrader 4 the most popular Forex trading platform. Especially since it works well on Windows, Linux, MacOS, the mobile platforms, and even has an HTML 5 version for the web.
The MetaTrader 5 update brought the new scripting language and gradual updates but also required the brokers to upgrade a lot of their infrastructure. This resulted in a very slow adoption and eventually forced MetaQuotes Inc. to backport the new features of MT5 to MT4. Despite the continuous development, MT5 is a rather rare sight among the active traders.
NinjaTrader is a known competitor to MetaTrader and one of the most popular trading platforms of yesteryear. Unfortunately, poor Linux and Mac support, as well as a rather slow adoption of its own community, caused NinjaTrader to fall behind.
NinjaTrader does not have an official marketplace, but it does support trading robots and custom indicators. Unfortunately, it also has a much smaller community, so the selection of tools leaves a lot to be desired.
At the end of the day, NinjaTrader is outdated — both physically and morally. There are some things that it does better than the rest — like the Depth of Market representation — but they are not worth messing with the archaic software. Especially if you are on Linux or Mac, where installation alone is complicated and unreliable.
cTrader by the SpotWare is supposed to be the next best thing in the world of trading platforms. And you have to admit — it does feel a lot more modern. The support for the trading robots, custom indicators and customizable UI didn't have to be patched in — it was there to begin with and is a lot better integrated.
However, being modern is a problem here. Due to being fundamentally different from MT and NT, cTrader has difficulties in picking up community support. Not a lot of people are willing to relearn the development tools and it certainly shows.
Then there is an issue of the cross-platform support. Windows, Android and iOS have official ports, but the Mac and Linux traders are left without any support at all. And while there are ways to launch cTrader on those platforms, they aren't reliable and often involve a lot of troubleshooting.
If you are just starting your Forex journey, we highly recommend you start with MetaTrader 4. Despite being slightly outdated and not all that sleek, MT4 has a very intuitive design and a lot of guides available online. Not to mention, that 90% of trading instructions automatically assume that you are using MetaTrader and do not provide tips for the other systems.

text: By Alberto Moreno There is a train. The train is not La Bestia. The train is and is not time. Is and is not, progress. The train is old now. Sits decommissioned in a train graveyard somewhere. Maybe it has been melted down. No one can know. No one is now alive, to say. But now is not that time. First we must walk back in time. Must undo progress. Imagine a darker time than this. You must imagine 1942. Imagine a time when one man used patriotism to stoke and fan the flames of fear and hate. Used national pride to first label and then exterminate millions of Jews. We must use time as a mirror. To see what gets reflected back from the abyss of time. First we must reverse the engines of time. Put the screeching churning train in reverse. The steaming, bellowing train is made of dark, iron and time. Before you can imagine it. You must first imagine the Mexican laborers stooped heavy and low with iron levers and large hammers building the railroad which will carry the train north. Always North. Must imagine the engine coming alive in Sinaloa Mexico. On this closing eve of war. The snorting train will begin there. Will spin its wheels. Bare iron against bare iron until it lurches forward into the distended night. The train will fill up with Mexicans. Mexicans which America has invited north. To plant, till and sow. America which needs them. While its own men fight terror on foreign shores. You must imagine a permitting silence. Silence so profound. Silence which has sat and watched as millions of Jews were herded and transported to death camps on other trains traveling through the German Countryside. With no one to speak on death's behalf. You must imagine this death which silence, muted and passive, permitted. You must imagine death's incineration plants large and huge. You must imagine this ashen death before you can imagine a man dressed in strange garb lost in the Mexican Countryside. You must see the stranger's dark robe boarding this Mexican train in this Mexican depot. Life, in flight. Life emaciated. Life scattered into the dark of night. This dark foreigner. This errant life. Sitting like a sore thumb in this unmoored moving train fleeing north. You must see in your mind's eye, as a short Mexican man approaches him and carefully explains to him that because he is wearing traditional Jewish garb, he will be stopped by immigration officials and not allowed to pass. You must see this nameless Mexican man inviting him to his home. To feed and redress him. You must allow for this. For the possibility of irrational kindness. To manifest, unsolicited, in the unfolding night. The Jewish man will be fed for a week. Will be given worn but usable Mexican clothes which will be too short for his long, languid frame. And then will be reboarded on this train. We know this with certainty because the story is preserved and portaged in the tender DNA of his grandson. And seventy years later Dr. Phil Newman is telling me how his Grandfather was smuggled safely into America. "In this time of great intolerance, this man. This Mexican man, saved my Grandfather's life.†Dr. Newman tells me.†Before you can see this as possible, you must imagine the intolerance which silence begets. Because as millions of Jews were being exterminated, millions of Germans said nothing. But this was over 70 years ago and certainly, nothing like this can happen again. We have made so much human progress that this is simply not possible anymore. Not in America. Certainly, we would never permit the kind of hate speech which made that xenophobia possible. We would not ever tolerate again, much less feed that kind of discourse in America! Its Un-American you might say. And yet here he is: Trump. Trump proposing the rounding up and herding of human beings based on their ethnicity, on their religion, on the way they look. Trump and his followers wanting to ban and deport millions of human beings. Even espousing concentration camps for American Muslims. Trump who has vowed to deport our children Who has called you drug hoarding mules Who has invited violence upon our families Who counts on your silence. On our apathy. On our inaction On our political invisibility On our curated fear And we may be tempted to dismiss him. To say he is a political outlier. That he is the Ego, making a great insignificant noise. Except that millions of Americans who identify as Christians, as Republicans, proudly endorse and even celebrate his words. Some of his followers have even been incited to commit violence in his name. Have declared war: Against the poor Against those who have darker skins than ours Against those who own land which contains The oil they need or covet Trump has declared a war against women Against those who are gay Against those who are different than us Against those who believe in a god who is not white Against the immigrant. The foreigner. After those who speak A broken, braking English. And yet it is not Trump, alone, who is the problem. Hitler would have been just another delusional man with a Messiah complex, if no one had agreed and acted on his rhetoric of hate. Likewise, it is the millions of Trump followers who provide a fecund agar for his hate, who are concerning. Who feel vindicated in their small ideas and in their hate of the foreigner. Of the stranger. But what is most troubling still, is the resounding silence of those who say nothing. The permissive silence of our white brothers and sisters who, once again, sit idly by and do nothing. And as Edward Burke, would remind us: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing!†And we have come too far, seen too much hate, too much death. Dr. Newman, would remind us that we have seen too much indifference for that. We have not been brought forward for this. Silent indifference, is not our divine inheritance. We are and must be more!

We know effective, sustainable marketing communications needs more than just a shot-in-the-dark idea and a trendy typeface. It needs roots in methodical research, branches into the right people's backyards, and blooms pretty and relevant enough to catch an eye. You get that combination right, and minds will move toward your brand and your message. That's what we've learned and lived out during our seven decades here at Riger.
Come Explore
Managing dozens of national media outlets, each with their own insertion orders and schedules, can get overwhelming. That's why Cornell SC Johnson College of Business relies on our thorough media dept. to place its display ads, sponsored content, and eblasts in Forbes, Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, etc.
From simple banner ads to animated gifs, this digital ad campaign targeted college students' parents with an emotionally pulling "inner thought," culminating in an open house invite.
With its combo of compelling headline and clear envelope, this elegant direct mailer passed the "elbow test" (ya know, that certain something that makes you pause before dropping an envelope in your recycling bin).
When we told them we could do their media buying with an objectivity enabled by our Strata media-planning software at no extra cost (other than the commissions paid us by the media), they pretty much said, "When can you start?"
When SUNY Delhi's VP for College Relations and Advancement called with a question, he didn't think we could solve his problem directly. He called asking if we knew of any writers who could interview the school's deans and faculty and produce sales copy for their degree programs.
Be sure to use your out-of-home media to its full potential. Designs should be colorful, bold and succinct but should also make use of new and creative posting techniques.
It sure was easy to show off the brand new Emergency Department at Pocono Medical Center with this sharp, dynamic video, which was shared online and rolled out to community supporters during the building's ribbon-cutting event.
Like many big corporations in small towns, this vaccine manufacturer requires ongoing, positive community relations. This semi-annual e-newsletter and digital ad campaign are part of that effort, reinforcing the company's image as a good corporate neighbor.
Commercials, digital, open house materials, ads and fact sheets promote the "Live-Better Lifestyle" community members find at United Methodist Homes.
Eyes are not just part of our bodies. They are precious gateways to our lives and memories. That's the emotional spin Riger put on this successful campaign that targeted a 50+ population in Broome and Chemung Counties.
We all know Tioga State Bank's unique selling proposition is the way they build strong, local relationships. What better way to share that message than straight from the mouths of their customers?
One of the bank's core values is to "Wow their customers" with outstanding service and value. This competitive advantage is front and center in this billboard design for mortgages.
Tradition, finance, connection and stability. These were the identity elements that shined through this logo design project, which boldly differentiated GHS Federal Credit Union in a crowded marketplace.
This Ithaca-based credit union's business lending campaign included testimonials from a commercial builder, a Cortland general store owner, and – in this spot – the executive director of Ithaca's Community School for Music and Arts.
Millennials add millions of new consumers to the banking world. To reach this important demographic, working within a modest budget, we used first-person, selfie-inspired style for this television commercial.
When Family Counseling Services of Cortland County and Family & Children's Society in Binghamton decided to merge under one united name, Riger helped create a brand that captured the hopeful essence of both organizations' life-changing work.
Talk about moving some donor minds! This video, featuring heartfelt testimonials and dramatic aerial footage, highlights the life-changing work of the Food Bank of the Southern Tier.
A dramatic theme, full-page photos, and poetic pull-quotes brought the true stories of Lehigh Valley Health Network – Pocono Foundation's donors and patients to life on the pages of this annual report.
Hunger and poverty statistics from the Foundation's needs assessment were too troubling to ignore. So Riger helped raise awareness through a billboard/ad campaign in partnership with the United Way, featuring local leaders who "can't stand by" when their community needs help.
To celebrate 10 years of supporting local children and families through the Lackawanna County Community Fundraiser, Sanofi Pasteur and VaxServe wanted a bright, whimsical event theme that would remind event attendees the "why" behind the "what" they give. Our childlike graphic and handwritten typeface hit the spot on billboards, invitations, and day-of collateral.
Cornerstone at W&W is the perfect setting for any special event, from weddings to reunions to fundraisers. This :30 TV commercial highlights just some of the unique offerings you'll find at this beautiful event venue.
Eureka Camping Center has all the "right gear" for your paddling and camping needs, and an expert on staff to advise, recommend and provide tips. Our new Escape! Explore! Enjoy! theme focuses on Bill's knowledge and expertise and the fun and enjoyment you can have with the right outdoor gear.
The variety of work never stops at Riger! That's what we thought when we got the call from Kuhn's Equipment Repair & Tractor Parts in Oxford, NY. Attracting a niche audience of tractor enthusiasts, these ads found their way into national trade magazines and Facebook.
It was time to drive more traffic to Taylor Rental's Vestal store. So these versatile 15-second TV commercials promoted equipment and supplies to the client's wide-ranging target audiences – contractors on one side, brides on the other!
W&W's site trailer, which is parked on the property and taken out to farmer's markets, trade shows and auctions throughout the season, is practically a rolling billboard!
When Elmira-based clutch and brake company SEPAC, Inc. completed its merger with Placid Industries, it needed a line card to set the branding tone for the new organization and promote its now expanded product offerings. Riger to the rescue!
Welliver has been constructing healthcare buildings for 120 years, but needed a piece to dynamically tell the story of their experience and expertise. We gave them a confident, clean design with plenty of white space.
When you have a 3-D printer, you can't exactly show it off in a flat brochure! So Riger produced a fast-paced, web-ready video for Eck to give their prospective customers an up-close look right into their factory and 3-D printing capabilities.
Purposefully minimal. Striking color variation. This easy read of eni's benefit integration capabilities and competitive advantage practically begs to be flipped through.
This leading architectural and engineering firm wanted to keep their name in front of key decision makers. Our suggestion: display thought leadership and subtly promote services in the tasteful package of a quarterly e-newsletter.
Depositing valuable co-op reimbursement checks from Maguire Family of Dealerships print ads takes one person, but accurately coordinating their pre-approvals, spec-specific designs, and submissions takes a whole Riger team!
The goal was to create a colorful, fast-moving and attention-getting spot that could be cost-effectively updated to accommodate monthly sales specials…all around our reassuring theme, "Be Sure. Jack Sherman Sure."
What a couple of GEMS these Subaru-loving ladies are! Meet Rose and Margrethe, the acting talent who warmed hearts and encouraged at least a chuckle (if not also an Ertle Subaru purchase) in this award-winning television commercial.
The Maguire Family of Dealerships said, "Let's offer 10% off our oil changes and give all the proceeds to a different local charity every month." "Sounds great," we said, then designed a theme with matching collateral and point-of-purchase materials.
Says Who?
Meet our team
In business since 1950, Riger (that's "eager" with an R!) is the oldest, largest and most adaptable business of its kind in South-Central New York State.

Half Bath Remodel; Before and After
04 October 2010
This is such a beautiful bathroom it is so bright, beautiful and clean - the perfect combination for a bathroom! I LOVE the tile floor, and the bead board wainscoting. Check out the transformation from Heather and Simple.beautiful.home.
So I FINALLY found my camera the other day, which means that I was able to upload some "before" photos of the house. I definitely remember what it looked like when we bought it (oh, how i miss those post-it-colored walls), but I haven't seen a side-by-side comparison of the projects until today. YAY! Take a look at the "photos" tab up top for more before and after reveals. My goal is to do a post about each step of the transformation (and definitely some tuturials for DIY-related projects...which is a lot!!) over the next few weeks. First up is our half bath...
For some reason we didn't take a lot of pictures of the lovely space pre-renovation (although we might have video of it), but let me paint a picture for you. Yellow tile on the walls (about waist high), yellow tiles on the floor, a yellow-painted vanity with a yellow sink, a yellow toilet AND yellow walls. Oh, and even the baseboard heating covers were painted yellow....and the door too. Yea, I think that's it. Oh wait. No. Here's the best part. There were two brass carriage lights flanking the mirror (oh yea, the ones that you put OUTSIDE your house next to your EXTERIOR doors). L.O.V.E it! So....here she is after we ripped everything out.
My uncle was nice enough to come by and show us how to install the tiles one weekend. We thought about heading over to Home Depot to have all of the tiles cut for us, but since we are planning on re-doing the backsplash in the kitchen
I need to put something up on the wall that isn't shown in either photo. It is just a blank wall right now with the same beadboard as the side shown above. I was thinking of doing a few beachy photos with some blue in it, but I'm not sure which photos to use. After de-personalizing our condo for a year and a half while we were trying to sell it, I'm nervous to put up personal photos around the house. I tend to go for landscapes or maps or old signs. Maybe I'll do one big beach picture that is broken up into three frames....hm..ideas, ideas.
Since I absolutely love before and afters, here is one more look at the transformation:
Well, that's it for our bathroom reveal.

AS historical time goes a hundred years is just like an evening past, but for us mere mortals it is indeed a "century" … a long time few men and women ever get a live through.
On a human scale alone it is sheer wondrous and inviting pleasure to celebrate a 100 years of a modern city. Modern! Yes because Minna has existed since time was. But as a modern city, Minna has a 100 stories and more to tell, in her 100 years of existence.
Minna is possibly Nigeria's most metro-cosmopolitan city outside Warri. Like I have argued before, cities like Lagos and Kano, which on the face of it may appear more cosmopolitan really are not.
The reason is simply this. Both Lagos and Kano, to use these two cornubations, possess and are possessed of a large host home owing population. In the case of Lagos, a larger variety of peoples may be counted, they are however absolved into a host Yoruba society.
Thus, the essential character of Lagos is still Yoruba. It is only in her selected prefectures like Ajegunle, where the Yoruba solvent population is absent that something close to a melting pot or true cosmopolitanism is achieved. This can be easily noticed in the slang, patios, songs and even dance steps that come off Ajegunle.
It is almost "American" in the sense that no constituent population may claim ownership. So also is Kano. But Warri suffers or enjoys the very specific condition of not having a solvent or dominant population.
Thus, the Warri or Wafe patio or slang is uniquely Warri, having achieved through its melting point nature, and filtered out the uniquely Ishekiri, the Ijaw, Urhobo in these legacy strands.
Minna enjoys such a status. Firstly, its population has a tripod leg of the Nupes, the Gbagyis and the Hausas, with a connecting rim of the Barabas, Kakandas, Kambaris, Dukawas, etc, who together constitute the ethnic nations of Niger State, of which Minna is capital.
Added to this is the ancient and running intercourse of virtually all other Nigerians: Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws, etc, who find Minna in particular and Niger in general such a habitat and place to live and prosper. It is this coming and mixing together of Nigerians of several backgrounds, and expatriates that gives Minna a truly cosmopolitan ring.
It is a cosmopolitanism that Minna prides itself of and it has paid off in several instances. Having grown and been groomed in a culture of all inclusiveness and of tolerance for the next or other man, it is perhaps not a surprise that Niger State and Minna actually has produced two of Nigerian's presidents in General Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar.
And that trail of cosmopolitan openness and tolerance is now being consolidated by the sitting Govenor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu lovingly called the Chief Servant by all Niger progressives.
According to Chief Jezie Nzomiwu, a Special Assistant, SA to Dr. Aliyu, the Governor has opened further and consolidated Minna and Niger State as a common ground for all Nigerians.
From religion to education, from building permits, including for churches and mosques, to government sponsored credit extension, all Niger residents are treated as one and equals without regards to ethnic data or such irritants.
And beyond Minna, Chief Jezie says, down the other local government areas, counting from Minna to Shiroro to Borgu, there are special assistants to the local government mayors drawn from Igbos, Yorubas, etc. This, of course, follows the inspiration of the Chief Servant.
It is this very modern attitude of all is one that makes modern Minna such a peaceful and lovable habitat.
And the celebration was made to match the all inclusiveness of Minna and designed to be full of variety. There was the traditional, the intellectual, the peoples, the sporting components, to the celebration. But the highlight is probably the intellectual feast that gathered all shades of contending Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential power contenders.
Ibrahim Babangida, a retired General and presidential front-runner and son of the soil was there. Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar, another PDP presidential front- runner also made the event.
And President Goodluck Jonathan, who perhaps for reasons of schedule and load of presidential commitment could not personally make it was fully and powerfully represented.
And Dr. Aliyu, possibly Nigerian's most visionary sitting governor used the occasion to define his mission of politics. It is politics as if only the people and the state mattered. It is what the people need and demand that will structure the alliance Niger State will commit itself.
And one of the principal things so sorely required by Niger State is a dual carriage autobahn linking Abuja and Minna.
It was humbling to see a Nigerian leader put the good and greatness of his state so strongly to these future presidents and demanding nothing of them for himself.
And even more importantly this writer thinks that proposed dual carriage way should be declared not a Niger State, but a national priority. The reasons are as followings. As we write, property prizes in Abuja have hit the stratosphere.
If the expressway is built, Minna, almost camera ready, becomes a satellite city to Abuja. The implication of this is that the prizes of housing in Abuja, which is an economic drain and waste will dramatically drop, as residents move to Minna and commute daily to and from Abuja.
Part of the crisis of Abuja is housing and the opening up to Minna will resolve it automatically. And the property drain in Abuja is from the pocket of every Nigerian. Minna is camera ready to resolve it.
This makes it a national, not Niger State priority. Of course the Chief Servant is not just waiting on the Federal, he has gone ahead to design a new Niger State, with Minna as it core.
Part of this new design is the development of an airport city as a part of the larger Minna metropolis. It is a huge and vast enterprise and has both residential and industrial and agricultural components. It is expected, for instance, that the airport city facility will be able to fly refrigerated beef each morning to Lagos and other city centres in special cargo aircraft.
Lagos and other city users will thus enjoy day-fresh, hygienically prepared beef for their dinner tables at competitive costs, far more profitable than the present beef supply service of doubtful quality.
No doubt the first 100 years have come with landmarks. However the next 100 years of Minna will improve and consolidate on this. And the sure signs are that the concrete achievement of the Chief servant will constitute and help define Minna in the years ahead.

Sparkling Korea
I have always disliked the tourism logo for Korea--Sparkling Korea. I suppose it's better than something to do with kimchi; but I have seen it as a harnessing of Korea's obsession with all things cute. And as you can see from the image to the left, the government apparently thinks Russian models are better suited to sell the trademark than regular Koreans. There is a rank consumerism in urban Korea that I will write about some other time.
To the point: Sparkling Korea is actually not some cutie creation.
Now I find out that it comes from Koryo--where the modern term "Korea" originates--and Koryo comes from Wang Kon, who viewed himself as the successor to Koguryo. You can see that Koryo is a shortened form of Koguryo. Koryo means "high mountains and sparkling waters." Seoul is anything but sparkling, let me tell you. But there is undeniable beauty outside the city. And Koreans love their land and all of its nature. So, now I get It.
Short history lesson about Koryon and Wang Kon: this all happened in the late ninth century when Wang Kon helped Kyonhwon, the estranged founder of Later Paekche, take back Later Koguryo from his first son who had usurped power when Kyonhwon attempted to have his fourth son succeed him. This kind of made the first born angry.
Wang Kon was the son of Kungye who founded Later Koguryo at Kaesong, in central Korea. (Wan Kon believed that he was the proper successor to what was left of the Koguryo legacy, so he was more than happy to help estranged father take on estranged son while at the same time helping finish off the third, ailing kingdom, Silla.) I do believe it is Wang Kon who fought relentlessly against Later Paekche and who got Silla to surrender. To make a really long story too short: Wang Kon unified Korea. His Koryo dynasty ruled for almost half a millenium. He is viewed by Koreans as being one of the great, magnanimous rulers from the past.

(l-r) Jonny, Iain and Daniel
The personalised baby and child gift brand donned by the likes of Prince George has exciting plans following the appointment.
My 1st Years, the personalised baby and child gift brand, has appointed ex-Moonpig chief Iain Martin as chairman. He has been appointed to the role of chairman by best friends and founding team Daniel Price and Jonny Sitton.
Since starting the business in 2010, the pair have created an impressive range of personalised products for babies and children, winning celebrity fans including HRH Prince George (who wore his very own personalised bathrobe and slippers when he met Barack Obama), Luna Legend, Elijah and Zachary John and Jessica Simpson's four-year-old son Ace.
The company received early backing from Lord David Alliance, co-founder of Coats Viyella and co-owner of N Brown Group which includes Jacamo and Simply Be in its catalogue, and went on to secure a £5m Series A led by growth capital investor Beringea, in partnership with Hargreave Hale. It has also secured retail partnerships with the likes of notonthehighstreet.com, John Lewis, and Selfridges.
The pair are now hoping that the expertise of Martin, who headed up Moonpig for almost a decade, will help them scale the business in the UK as well as the US. "I was drawn to the business because it has such an excellent product range and a team that really seem to care about its customers," said Martin.
"Whilst the personalisation technology that has been developed is interesting, a visit to the factory to see the care and attention that the staff put into making the product and the beautiful way the gifts are packaged demonstrated to me the very essence of the business and brand."
Martin, who has recently become a Dad for the first time, added: "From a customer perspective, it's very difficult to find distinct, high quality and thoughtful gifts for children. Personalisation of a towel or a bathrobe turns an everyday item into something that extra bit special for your little one.
"In terms of market potential, the addressable market for both gifting and self-purchase is significant. There is a very exciting opportunity for growth and if I can bring some of my experience in scaling all aspects of the business then I'm thrilled to be part of it."
Co-founder Daniel Price said: "Founding a business straight out of university, we always knew the importance of surrounding ourselves with the right people to advise us at the right time.
"After getting our Series A, big and rapid growth was our goal, and we recognised we needed to bring in someone to help us with this next stage.
"We have hailed Moonpig as a bit of a hero business when it comes to personalisation for a while, so we had our sights firmly set on Iain and managed to get an introduction via one of our investors.
"The chemistry was there instantly - what was supposed to be a 15-minute coffee turned into a five-hour meeting talking about brand positioning, customer acquisition, personalisation technology - but also about protecting our culture as we grow and so on.
"We couldn't have picked a better chairman for My 1st Years as we enter the next chapter - it's going to be an exciting time."

January 12 – 14, 2018
Glenmarie Golf & Country Club
15 January 2016
Shah Alam, Malaysia, January 14: Local stars Danny Chia and Nicholas Fung are eager to secure a point for Team Asia after being paired together by Captain Jeev Milkha Singh in the opening day's Fourball session at the EurAsia Cup presented by DRB-HICOM on Friday.
The Malaysian duo are determined to help Team Asia get off to a strong start when they face Victor Dubuisson of France and Denmark's Soren Kjeldsen in the third match out at the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club.
Fung, a captain's pick, refers to Chia as his mentor but the roles will be somewhat reversed in the Ryder Cup-styled event as the latter will tap on the experience of Fung, who featured in the inaugural EurAsia Cup two years ago.
"I'm feeling honoured to be representing Team Asia. I think I'll be the rookie for this format and this EurAsia Cup. I've got Nicholas on my back, so that eases me a little bit. Looking forward for tomorrow," said Chia, who qualified for Team Asia on merit.
The 43-year-old Chia, a two-time winner on the Asian Tour, said the team spirit has been fantastic this week despite the squad featuring players from six different nationalities and players speaking in several languages.
"We spend a lot of time together with our teammates. We have dinner every night together to try to get closer to each other and have some kind of a chemistry. We spending a lot of time talking about the game plan and watching our teammates closely to know more about their games," said Chia.
Chia is hoping that his two wins on the Asian Development Tour (ADT) at Glenmarie will provide him and Fung an advantage.
"I feel pressured but it is very positive pressure that drives me to do well. I think by making the team, it already makes me really confident about my game. It's a match-play event, and I don't have to worry about trying to play it safe here. I just try to go for everything and play against my opponent," said the Malaysian number one.
The 25-year-old Fung was not surprised with the pairing, saying their familiarity with each other's games will give them an extra edge.
"It is a great pairing with Danny. We both feel very comfortable and know each other's games very well. It will be very interesting and we want to do well for the team. I think we will get a lot of home support and that will spur us on," said Fung.
Captain Singh is counting on the Malaysian duo to play an important role in the Fourball session. "I think match play is quite different. So to make sure that when a player starts off well in the first few holes, and especially the groups which are strong, I think it feeds off on the other groups, too.
"So that was my main reason to put Danny Chia and Nicholas Fung together. Home course knowledge, crowds are going to come out, cheer them on, support them, and I think that makes a lot of difference when you're playing in your home country," said Singh.

Today marks 6 years since I wrote my first ever blog post, it was called "I was born to try." I honestly feel like over the past six years I have raised a child. Six years of stories, experiences, people and adventures.
|Sazan M. Mandalawi
Writing a blog post in a teahouse in Erbil
Through the past six years mandalawi.blogspot.com was a getaway for me, it as a place where I shared my thoughts, experiences, introduced people to Kurdistan, answered questions, collected donations and above all through the blog I met people who are an important part of my life now.
Over the years the blog transformed, it grew and changed with me. The blog inspired a column, the column a book and now I hope a website is in the making. Thank you to every single person who inspired every sentence on mandalawi.blogspot.

Improving Between-Session Carryover
"So how did your homework assignment this week go?"
"Uh, what was I supposed to do again?"
This exchange between a CBT therapist and a client is common. Often even when clients are on board and excited about working on their cognitive distortions or tackling their exposure hierarchy, they may forget or avoid actually completing the tasks during the week. One of the challenges of psychotherapy is getting the client to generalize the learning and gains they make in the treatment room to their "real life", especially since for most outpatient treatment, therapy is only one hour (out of 168 per week). Tools or treatments which integrate into the context of a person's life, outside of the therapy hour, can help. Increasing daily awareness of one's mental health by mood tracking, scheduling times to accomplish specific therapy-related activities (e.g. meditation or exposure exercises), or reminders to complete thought records can all help move therapeutic work out of the treatment room and into clients' daily lives.
Using blended (digital and in-person) treatment approaches can be used to make therapy more efficient. Digital tools can reinforce and expand upon education provided in-session. Additionally, having on-demand access to content allows clients to refer back to key topics when they want, rather than having to try to remember those points from their weekly session. Furthermore, some clients may not be as able to absorb key points in session, due to underlying psychopathology, distraction, or differences in learning style. Increased engagement with educational material can help clients see the value of the assignment and increase motivation to complete tasks or homework.
Clients in therapy do best when given goals which are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-limited), but sometimes therapists may not have enough time in session to highlight the rationale of these assignments. Augmenting therapy with digital tools can allow clinicians to more easily provide valuable information about the purpose of homework, and by scheduling reminders for a specific time or date, therapists and clients can discuss any potential roadblocks ahead of time to increase the likelihood of completion. The completion of between-session homework assignments or meditation exercises improves the efficacy of therapy, and the ability to easily remind clients of their assignments between sessions can only help in this process.
Breaking down barriers between the therapy session and real life, through tools which integrate into day-to-day activities can increase individuals' awareness of their mental health and make them more willing and able to implement the changes they learn about in session. This can be accomplished by making therapeutic tasks such as thought records, goal setting, or mood tracking more "bite-sized", enjoyable, and doable. Many individuals balk at the idea of completing paper-based thought records, or simply lose them, but are willing to engage with an appealing and easy-to-use digital app. This shift can really help clients feel like the clinician is meeting them where they are, and help them be more engaged in and committed to their treatment plan.
Pacifica for Clinicians provider-facing dashboard tool that allows clinicians to administer and score clinical assessments, conduct teletherapy, assign between-session homework, and manage schedules. By integrating seamlessly with the consumer mobile app, Pacifica for Clinicians can enhance client engagement, improve between-session carryover, and treatment adherence.

Here comes the flood
The future is a dance between what we see, and what is beyond our own expectation and imagination. As John Caputo once said in his book 'On Religion', for the seeable future, we need
a good mind, a decent computer, and horse sense.
For the future unforeseen,
that will take us by surprise, that will come like a thief in the night and shatter the comfortable horizons of expectation that surround the present… for that future, we need hope, faith and love.
It doesn't take too much logic or even imagination to see that there is a flood coming. Whether through the tide of changes within morality, ethics, ecology, or a consumeristic system that has come up short and wanting. The future can seem daunting, particularly when it starts to hit our own way of life and comfort zones.
But, there is an unforeseeable future that calls upon dreamers to embrace a world of hope, faith and love. It is a future that challenges the myths we tell and the propaganda of self interest. It is a future that is beyond our imagination, yet we can catch glimpses of it through a dimly lit window. It is a future that is at hand, which a Saviour and Prophet two thousand years ago kept pointing towards.
If there ever was a time for pilgrims of faith to voice their dream filled journeys, it is now. There is a flood coming, but it's not like how we are imagining it. The revival voice of hope, faith and love must be declared. So:
drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.
Because now our dreams must be lived out in ways not seen before.

The design of the logo was based on the name given by the client "The Eye of the Coffee". "The Eye of the Coffee" is a new coffee shop, at a central point in the path to the main road to the South Evia, in the village Krieza. So the "eyes" that will see it are quite enough within the route and they will stop to have the necessary coffee for their journey.
The logo was based on two words from the name, the eye and the coffee, as requested by the client to be appeared in the logo. Moreover the following information was requested: to be atmospheric, warm, referring to the warm environment and to be friendly.
In the result of the design, there is obvious the main element, the cup of the coffee. Within this cup a whirlpool referring to the foam at the top of the cup is created. From this point the warm smell of the coffee is emerged, which forms the name "The Eye of the Coffee". Moreover within this cluster an eye is designed, which has replaced the "α" word of the eye and also the letter "φ" creates the handle of the cup. Brown shades are selected resembling both the colors of the coffee and the wood as a "warm" material that dominates in the interior of the coffee shop.

Invitation to OAA Year Group Presidents
I would like to invite all OAA Year Group Presidents to a meeting at the SSNIT Guest House on Friday, 22nd June 2018 at 6 pm.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss how best to get more Akoras to contribute to tackling the several problems faced by the School and OAA.
While it is obvious that Year Groups contribute significantly to improvement projects at the School, there is enough evidence that these are sometimes poorly coordinated, and then leave no lasting effect at the School.
The situation is compounded by the fact that every day brings up a new urgent challenge that needs to be tackled.
The OAA tries its best to assist the School in dealing with urgent and other challenges, but its efforts are severely constrained for many different reasons.
We would like this meeting to discuss the land encroachment challenge and how best Akoras can help to deal with it. The meeting will also look into how best to complete all outstanding projects through proper coordination.
I am inviting Year Group Presidents to meet with the Executive Committee in order to take major decisions relating to coordination and contribution that can be implemented through year group activities.
Please pass this message on to your Year Group President. We will not like the roll call to show that your Year Group was not represented when it mattered most. For planning purposes we would like you to call the Secretariat to let us know if your group will be attending or not. Thank you very much.

Tuesday, Second Week of Advent: Peace
December 10, 2013
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, and do not let it be afraid." John 14: 27
Peace is nothing but a goal to reach in life. Anyone can find, or have peace, it's just a matter of looking deep into your soul, as well as others, and find what truly matters. When people think peace, they usually think "Quiet". That would be an example of peace, but it is more than that.
Peace will always be important whether in school, church, or just sitting
at home. We must be honest, respectful, and cooperative with one another.
Without peace, there would be Continuous Stress Issues, and no
one would find any hope in anything.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, I pray for everyone to find peace in their lives especially during Christmas. I pray for for everyone around me and my family who has, is, or will show us love, kindness, and goodness. This is an example of peace for me. Amen
Advent Devotional: Tuesday, December 10

During the 1990's Gary Kastrick started the South Omaha Museum with his Project Omaha students at South High School - the only museum of its kind in the nation. It landed in his basement after closing up and now we are bringing it back, piece of history by piece of wonder. The boards you see here are the last remaining wood pieces from the great South Omaha Stockyards, once the largest in the world!
Celebrate the grand Re-Opening of the Museum from 5-8pm on March 15, 2017. Come visit us from March 16- April 15 for the Stockyards exhibit and during May for the Cinco de Mayo show - especially on Cinco de Mayo!
It's a labor of love and I believe you'll fall in love with it.


text: Normally when we worry, we seek assurance. We seek solutions. We seek security. When we feel empty, we seek the next purchase or next experience. When we get in over our head, we seek more credit, we seek payday loans, or we seek a second or third job. All that does is make these issues dominate our thoughts. The only solution, according to the Boss, is to seek the Kingdom of God first. We don't get everything we need by seeking it. We get everything we need by seeking God first. Out of all the options we have, out of all the things we can seek for and be occupied with, we're to seek first the things of the One to whom we belong. The term Kingdom does not refer to a geographical territory but to a dominion or rule. God's Kingdom is God's sovereign rule, and therefore to seek first His kingdom is to seek first His rule, His will, and His authority. Seek God above all else and He'll provide everything you need.

Warriors Civic Reception
Wigan Council host civic ceremony for Wigan Warriors following the unprecedented success of 2018.
Members of all three title-winning teams and coaches attend event at Wigan Town Hall
- "We take a lot of pride Wiganers doing well." – Ian Lenagan
Wigan Council today held a civic ceremony for Wigan Warriors to commemorate the unprecedented success of the 2018 season
Last season saw Wigan complete an unprecedented treble, winning the BETFRED Super League, Women's Super League and Academy grand finals.
To commemorate the success of the Club, Wigan Council welcomed representatives from Wigan Warriors, including coaches and players from all three teams, to Wigan Town Hall.
Speaking at the event, Wigan Chairman Ian Lenagan paid tribute to the Club's success and the town as a whole. He said, "We take a lot of pride in Wiganers doing well. Anybody who has been associated with Wigan, professionally and born and bread here, can only appreciate Wigan Town Hall, a civic reception, celebrating what is a special achievement. Three trophies; Academy, Women and First Team is not going to be easy to beat, let's put it that way."
"I think when you see the councillors, the Mayor, the leaders and the directors of Wigan Council here it comes home to you how well regarded we are and how much civic pride that there is in the success. It's different, it's not the same as with the fans, but we are all fans of the Town and of the Club and it's delightful for us to be received in this way."
Among the many recognisable faces who attended the civic reception was Wigan's 2018 Head Coach Shaun Wane, who lead the Cherry and Whites to Grand Final success last October.
Speaking at the event, Wane said, "I'm really pleased and honoured to be here. It's good to see all of the players again and reminisce. We've got a leader in David Molyneux (Wigan Council Cabinet Executive) who is very proud in our town. I'm obviously really proud too of our Women and U19s have done. It's a big achievement and I can't see another club doing it again to be honest."
One player who was integral to the success of Wigan Warriors last season is Liam Marshall, who finished 2018 as top try scorer. On the record-breaking season, Marshall said, "To be recognised by the council is a massive achievement, not just for us but for the Women and U19s as well.
"It not just shows how much of a success the season was but also what affect it has on the local community, which is good on all parts."
All three teams have now been presented with their awards by the mayor and leader @WiganWarriorsRL #believe pic.twitter.com/lxB0yvUwQF— Wigan Council (@WiganCouncil) January 8, 2019

CNET también está disponible en español.
Don't show this again
The popular "Lego Movie" of 2014 is now a game for iPhone and lets you play many of the characters from the movie as you try to save the world.
Some levels have you jumping and swinging to get to the next area, but you'll need to switch to the character that has those skills.
The gameplay has tons of variety beyond running around levels, with driving, shooting and controlled falling down tunnels.
When you warp through a tunnel to a new area, you switch to a top-down view to maneuver Emmit around obstacles.
Some objects require you to select multiple pieces, then spin them in the air to create the object.
On another level, you ride in a turret and try to blow away your pursuers.

For the past 3 years our stake has put on an event called: Evening on Broadway.
It's a selection of 12-14 Broadway/Disney songs from various musicals.
We are in full costume, put theatre makeup on, and get head mics.
The stage has sets, props and lighting selected for each piece.
We are accompanied by a live, full orchestra.
The man behind it all is Mark Mitchell.
The preparation starts back in October.
Mark personally writes an arrangement of every song, for every single instrument in the orchestra.
Practises start anywhere from January to April.
Every year the week before is quite stressful and unorganized.
But year after year it always magically comes together on the big night.
I didn't think anything could top last year's, but this year was hands my favourite year.
The pieces that were performed were:
It's a hard knock life - Annie
Little girls - Annie
In my own little corner - Cinderella
Lida Rose - Music Man
Once upon a December - Anastasia
Seize the day - Newsies
Little bird - Man of La Mancha
Impossible dream - Man of La Mancha
Lonely goatherd - Sound of Music
Cruella Devil - 101 Dalmations
Daddy's Son - Ragtime
Finale - Les Miserables (full 8 minute version)
This year I was lucky to be asked to play Cosette in the finale.
Not only did I get to wear my wedding dress again, but I was able to play along side my dad.
My mom reminded me of something on closing night that really hit me.
When I was 6/7 years old I sang Castle on a Cloud at a wedding reception, and almost 20 years later I played older Cosette as a married women.
Full circle.
It was a beautiful experience to be in just one scene from my favourite musical.

Statham city officials continued work on finalizing the FY2016 budget at a meeting held last week.
One area of concern to the council relates to the variation in recommendations for employee pay increases. The city council has received proposals from departments ranging from a set amount up to a five percent increase.
"I think we need to come up with a standardized pay raise for all employees," said councilman Perry Barton.
City Hall is recommending a five percent increase for employees. The police department is proposing pay increases ranging anywhere from a set amount to a percentage amount. Other departments are requesting anywhere from three percent to five percent increases.
Statham officials consider employee raises
