Oh Sucka! Not-so Yucky Niku and a potential line-up change.
I decided to make use of my JR pass and head southwest to Osaka.The internet connection at my hotel has gone AWOL so I am currently typing this post at an internet cafe. There is a bit of a dilemma regarding Merpeoples' participation with the NMFT3 tour. I don't want to get into specifics but there is a chance another band may be taking their place but nothing is definitive. For now assume Charlotte et al are coming to Canada but be prepared for a possible change.
On Fri Jul 30, I probably should have been in Niigata taking video footage of NATSUMEN and showing support for uhnellys but I decided to take it easy and stay in Tokyo. During the day I hung out with my friends Ryotaro (Kulu Kulu Garden) and Vish (fan who went to both NMFT vol 1 and 2 in Toronto). Ryotaro and Vish are creating the official NMFT3 promo video. Ryotaro is doing all the main work and Vish is offering some technical advice. The video is looking absolutely amazing so far esp since it's a DIY project. After watching what Ryotaro has done with the video so far we went to eat lunch at Tonchang in Ikebukuro. From what I've heard people line up for blocks to get a table at the original Tonchang in Shin-Okubo but the Ikebukuro branch at lunchtime was fairly empty. Tonchang is a korean restaurant that specializes in grilled fatty pork strips (like yakiniku but with pork. Butayaki?) and using the grill at the end to cook rice mixed with sesame seed oil, kimchee, scallions, spices and a variety of toppings with the best being more of the fatty pork strips and loads of CHEESE. Ooooh man was the last rice dish ever tasty. When I get back to Tokyo or when my hotel internet starts running again I'll post some mouthwatering pics/video. For dinner I went to a great Kyushu izakaya that specialies in tebasaki chicken wings. People rave about the wings at Sekai no Yamachan but the tebasaki chicken at とめ手羽 (TomeTeba) is in a completely different league. After eating there you wouldn't serve the tebasaki wings from Yamachan to your dog let alone yourself. Yamachan's wings have barely any meat and are way overspiced. Tometeba's wings are loaded and literally dripping with the juiciest, premium chicken meat and have the perfect amount of spicing. Their ochazuke (normally a simple unassuming dish of steamed rice mixed with tea) is also out of this world. Shinjuku isn't known for having great places to eat but TomeTeba is a "well-kept" secret that actually isn't so well kept because the place is completely packed from open till closing. The company at dinner was my bro, Hiroki (older brother of Yutaka from Sebastian X), MOTFD's manager and his gf, and one of the A&Rs from Zankyo Records. I was given some really sweet advance copies of CDs eg 赤い公園 (akai kouen) and Mudy on the 昨晩. The new 赤い公園 demo is the best thing I have heard in a very long time and 赤い公園 has sort of become my new favorite band. Similar to Matasita89 and ミドリ, Akai Kouen are very secretive/private and refuse to put youtube clips of live performances on the internet. They even go a step further by not having any samples of their music to hear on Myspace, Audioleaf or anywhere on the internet. The members of Akai Kouen are only 18-20 years old but they're ridiculously talented and are making their major label debut next year. They sound like how pre-Seimeiryoku Chatmonchy with Maps and Atlases and My Bloody Valentine thrown in. Obviously they're not as skilled as Maps but it's scary how good these girls are going to be in a few years.
On Jul 31st, I was invited to watch MOTFD perform at Zepp Tokyo for Girl's Factory 2011. I watched 1-2 songs at most by FLiP, Scandal and Steropony who are all-girl bands that play generic arena-rock. For the most part my friend Midori and I wandered off to other parts of Odaiba to stave off boredom from the female rock snore-fest. MOTFD didn't get the hugest ovation from the anime-watching crowd who were partisan to Stereopony and Scandal but they were easily the highlight of the fest in my opinion. They had Naoya of Qomolangma on guitar and played almost all new songs saving "Highlight" for last which Nacchan knows is my favorite motfd song. Their is tons of pressure from the label for MOTFD to churn out more accessible music for potential radio hits. The new songs are poppier in a sense but at the same time they're alot more experimental and aggressive in parts. Nacchan will always be punk/HC at heart and she's doing her damndest to keep that element in her songs despite opposing forces that want something more radio-friendly.
In a couple hours I'm headed off to Osaka Muse to watch a show with a long line-up of bands. The ones I'm interested in are memento森 and chouchou merged syrups.

A Day With The Cup: Brendan RanfordSep 16, 2014
When did you get the cup and from who?
Well our party with my uncle (Bill Ranford) was on August 21st. I received it the day before from Taylor Vause.
What did you do when you received it?
Well, I was actually at a workout so my uncle received it from UPS that morning and then put it in the garage for me. It was kind of funny. I came home and he tells me the Cup is in the garage, so I grabbed it from there.
What did you do on the first day with the Calder Cup?
The first day was a low-key and relaxing one. I didn't do much of anything because we had this party planned for the next day. I pretty much just hung out with it. Me and my roommate were sitting around playing Madden '14 with the Cup right there. It was actually a really relaxing day. We ate some cereal out of it.
What cereal?
Lucky Charms, haha.
Who is your team in Madden 14?
It mainly depends on who he plays with. He usually goes with Seattle. So I normally go with San Francisco or Carolina.
How was the dual-cup party with the Stanley Cup and Calder Cup?
It turned out to be a really interesting day. My uncle got the Stanley Cup around 9:00 a.m. I brought the Calder Cup to my morning workout with a couple friends, and that was cool. We all enjoyed having it around. After that I took it to the track for a second workout, then ended up bringing it back to the house for a get together from 12-3 in the afternoon that was for the younger crowd. So my cousins were drinking orange juice out of it and having fun.
Most hockey players won't touch the Stanley Cup until they've won it… How did you navigate a dual-cup party with the Stanley Cup and Calder Cup?
I avoided the Stanley Cup as much as possible. I didn't go anywhere near it. It was kind of funny. We did a few photos and things, but I never touched it. I wasn't going to be anywhere near it.
Who came up with the dual-cup Ice Bucket Challenge?
Haha, that was my oldest cousins boyfriend. He was nominated a few days before and I told him just wait until Thursday and we can do it this way. That was a cool experience we had with it.
Who did you pass the Calder Cup off to?
Later that day I ended playing street hockey with some friends and the Cup. Afterwards we all got together at Mr. Mike's restaurant for some food, and Curtis McKenzie came by to hang out. So afterwards I passed it along to him to head off with.

This basqued bodice falls over a perfect cascade of drapery at the back of the skirt to create the fashionable bustled silhouette. The concept of the bustle was not new as devices had been used to thrust out the skirts for several hundred years. During the mid-1880s, however, they did reach new and exaggerated proportions, jutting out almost at right angles from the back of the skirt. They came in a huge variety of styles, from crinolettes made of steel half-hoops to down-filled pads and wire-mesh structures which folded in on themselves when the wearer sat down.
The use of drapery made dresses look complicated, but they were usually composed of separate pieces arranged onto a foundation skirt. On this dress the pleated ruffles are machine-sewn onto the front panel of the skirt to give the impression of a multi-layered garment. The swathe of fabric at the top of the skirt was known as scarf drapery and it created a simulated overskirt when pulled up and pleated into the side seams.

The Political Virtue of Hope: What America Can Learn From the Israeli Family
Israel has enemies on every side of its border. The Islamic State has declared that "Soon there won't be even one Jew in Jerusalem," while Hamas in the Gaza strip continues to launch missiles across the southern border, refusing to acknowledge Israel as a state. If that is not enough, Hezbollah, the military organization operating out of Lebanon, has missiles they can launch into the heart of the country. Iran is also developing nuclear capacities that could prove devastating to both Israel and the surrounding region.
In spite of these terrors coming from all sides, I have never seen a country with so many hopeful parents who have children happily running in the streets. When I look back to my experience at Israel, my happiest memories were my interactions with young families and the communities that grow out of them, for they are filled with children awaiting the prospects of a happy future. I soon found that this experience of mine was no anecdote. The average Israeli woman will give birth to almost three children in their lifetime, giving Israel the highest fertility rate in the developed world. In all of these families, only about 5% of the marriages will end in divorce. When I look at the dangerous prospects that constantly threaten Israel, it is puzzling to see the family flourishing amid the potential horrors.
Part of this family security could be owing to the incredible intelligence resources the Israeli Defense Forces employ to keep terror at bay. I know little of Israeli intelligence, but they certainly have done the best they can in securing the conditions for a good life in Israel. But the IDF does not solve everything, as we all know. For although military security may provide the possibility of a good life, it is still up to the people of Israel to enhance the prospects of hope for the future generation through the establishment of a good family life.
When strong families have many children, it is an indicator that the parents have lots of hope for the future generation. This makes sense, for what kind of parent wants to bring so many children into a world they believe is going to hell? The paradox of Israel is that in a place where hell is such a possibility, they conduct their lives without letting terror penetrate the resolve to live in hope. This makes hope a political virtue for the Israelis, for hope informs how they conduct both private and public affairs.
Israel's high fertility rates surely must discourage the surrounding groups that seek to terrorize them, for there is no greater response to the prospects of terror than demonstrating the belief that your children will inherit a world better than the one we live in now. But Israel can also teach Americans something far more important about how we conduct our own lives. No threat to security—economic or otherwise--should stop human beings from preserving the deep bonds that enrich our experience. Having a strong family is not merely a luxury to partake in when conditions are good, for it is a constant resource of hope that is grounded in a community of love, especially in the face of terror and other uncertainties. Israelis seem to understand this more than most, and we can learn from that. I believe living this way could unify the aims of our political life and provide us with clarity as to what the proper response is to terror in our world.
The Israeli people have figured out that having reason to hope for the future is not something that arrives by favorable circumstances. Rather, hope is something that one must create through a strong belief in the family and other communities like the family. Although hope is strange virtue to discuss in politics, it seems to be lacking in the United States. Over 68% of Americans now think that our country is moving in the wrong direction. One could argue that as a result of this lack of confidence, only 31% of young people from the ages 18 to 34 cohabitate with, let alone marry, another human being. Families are becoming more and more rare. Fertility rates are declining, and divorce is rampant all throughout the states. These numbers should challenge us and make us look to Israel as an example. We must realize that the hope for our political life is something that is in our hands to create. This is regardless of any grim outlook we may have for the future of our country. And it would seem that this hope begins with the resolve to have a strong and happy family.
Some fellow students and I spent an afternoon at a Kibbutz near the Gaza Strip. The community of families living there were within rocket range of Hamas. Holes from rocket shrapnel were plastered on many of their buildings, even the nurseries. Next to many of the parks where the children play there was a rocket shelter for the kids to run to when a rocket alarm went off. What struck me was at the entrance of one of the shelters there was the painting of a little boy sitting atop a mushroom cloud from an explosion, smiling. "Boom!" it said on the cloud of flames.* A sure reminder that the kids should smile and remind themselves everything is all right when the bombs begin to crash.
In spite of these horrors, the kids of the kibbutz still run around the village laughing and playing. The nursery with shrapnel blown into its walls is still filled with little children getting ready for the world. The world that awaits them does not seem to be very hopeful. Yet the very presence of these children makes it so, and that might be enough.

Halloween Horror Nights 26!
November 17, 2016
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Halloween Horror Night 26 unleashed the fear to the media in early September. With creepy clowns running amuck in the US, Jack the clown's sidekick "Chance" warns visitors "You won't stand a chance". The houses are a mix of old favorites like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween II, and new scares such as Krampus, Lunatics Playground 3D and American Horror Story. With nine houses, it is the largest maze of scares yet.
The Walking Dead returns this year, but with a new twist. According to show director Charles Gray, it is a compilation of the best scenes throughout the six seasons. Fans won't be disappointed by the incredible display of zombie gore and a glimpse of the some of the more famous walkers from each season.
Krampus is a "must visit" house. Even if you are not a fan of the film, Christmas, killer elves and the smell of ginger in the air give this maze an unparalleled appeal. Besides, who doesn't want to "take" a scare rather than "give" one before Christmas?
Lunatics Playground, American Horror Story and the Exorcist round out the "must visit" list. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween II, Ghost Town: The Curse of Lightning Gulch and Tomb of the Ancients are also worth the wait, but with nine mazes and five scare zones, it's hard to squeeze in all in one visit. Hence, get the "Frequent Fear" pass and you won't be disappointed!

Hi Everyone,
One more Colorbar product review from me but this time its lip gloss.
Shelf life: 2yrs 11 months
Quantity: 6 ml
Price: INR 325
Sonali says: Tiramisu gloss is a beautiful chocolaty shade from Colorbar. It smooth creamy texture gives color in single swipe but for fiiling the lip fissures you need to apply the second coat. The staying power as compared to my other lip glossed is better. Stays upto 4 hours on my lips. The gloss gets sweeped easily, keeps my lips soft and has nice fragrance. It can be applied with chocolaty/brown colored lipstick to add the glossy effect.
- Beautiful shade with glossy effect
- Nice fragrance
- Moisturizing
- Staying power is good as compared to other glosses
My Rating: 5/5

CALGARY—A pro-pipeline vigilante group organized by a Calgary man intends to step in and remove the Camp Cloud protest site if legal efforts by Burnaby, B.C., to do so fail.
The camp was set up outside Kinder Morgan's Burnaby Mountain facility last November to protest the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. Two weeks ago, the city's administration announced it would be filing a court injunction with British Columbia's Supreme Court to have "all illegal structures, fires and facilities" at the camp removed, citing concerns about electrical and fire hazards, and the refusal of Camp Cloud to obey city bylaws. However, peaceful protests would still be allowed.
A ruling is expected Aug. 10. If the city's injunction doesn't go through, Cory Morgan, a Calgary-based libertarian blogger, and members of a Facebook group called "Citizens committee to evict Camp Cloud" plan on travelling to Burnaby around Aug. 18 to clean up the camp, anyway. Morgan sees Camp Cloud as a small but vocal symbol of opposition to the pipeline — and the inability of the government to legally remove it as a sign of weakness to potential investors in the Canadian oil industry.
"If we can't see action on Camp Cloud, I don't think that pipeline will ever go," he said.
Morgan claimed Camp Cloud is full of graffiti, drug paraphernalia and garbage, and that Burnaby residents are complaining of harassment by camp members. He has referred to the Camp Cloud protesters as "drug-addled reprobates" on his Twitter account and titled a blog post on July 31: "Racists, junkies and sex offenders. Camp Cloud has it all."
"This is a lawless little zone and it's just beyond acceptable anymore," Morgan said.
A spokesperson for Camp Cloud was not available for comment by press time. Their website claims the camp has a no-drug policy, but that some members do use medicinal marijuana.
Morgan shied away from using the term "vigilante" to describe the group, instead referring to them as an "irregular law enforcement group." In their statement, the City of Burnaby said it "discourages any vigilante actions and irresponsible actions that can endanger public safety."
The Facebook group has around 500 members from all over Western Canada — including Burnaby itself — but Morgan anticipates only about 10 per cent of them will be able to make it out to Burnaby on Aug. 18. Several drivers are offering to lend small buses — like those used to drive oilpatch crews to work sites — to the group, Morgan said. They're still working on an exact course of action, although it'll involve covering up traces of the camp.
"I've noticed they have graffiti everywhere on all the concrete barriers in the area, on the Kinder Morgan signs, everywhere else," Morgan said. "Well, maybe 50 or 60 of us will come out with cans of white paint and we'll paint over all of their crap."

Slip dress and long vest & heels by Zara Sale! items still available online.
Happy beginning of the week! I am loving the hot weather here in Los Angeles, perfect weather to be out and about! I've received some questions from you my readers, asking about recommendation over summer cocktail parties. I am wearing a suggested "cocktail attire." It is important to keep in mind the venue and the theme of the party. I am all for wearing an under the knee length dress, it is I'm my opinion the elegant way to go! A quick and easy way to look poise for that evening event. I decided to combine it with a long vest, that for me it is the key to feel comfortable, and during this summer days, the last thing I want to do is to be worrying about how my behind looks. For all of those ladies that have curves, like me I am talking about "your behind," I recommend to cover it up, that is if its a very intimate and serious event, you would want people to notice your beauty in the ways. Long cardigans and light tech coats are also a great way to go! It is on trend to " layer" fabrics, this will instantly give you a fresh look and it is also a great way to look stylish and be comfortable.
Have great week xx.
Have great week xx.

Celebrating in Puerto Vallarta!
Every free nation can trace its independence back to a significant moment in history. For Mexico, that moment is September 16, 1810, when Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla uttered the Cry for Independence (Grito de Dolores or El Grito). Rallying his countrymen to fight against the Spaniards, Hidalgo, a Catholic priest, helped start a revolution that led to Mexican independence almost 11 years later.
That famous moment is commemorated every year on Independence Day all throughout Mexico. Every city brings out its decorations, fireworks, officials, and its own twist or local flavor of how to celebrate the holiday. But some things are consistent in every town. On September 15, at 11:00 p.m., the mayor of the city comes out on the balcony of the town hall carrying the Mexican flag, rings a bell, and then recites the traditional speech that ends with "¡Viva México!" ("Long Live Mexico!"). Thus begins the Fiestas Patrias (national holidays).
"The main event of Fiestas Patrias is a party in the street, overflowing with authentic food stalls, live music and folk dancing until the mayor's Proclamation of Independence at 11pm. Fireworks soon follow, as clubs and bars across town keep things lively all night – and into morning."
Puerto Vallarta is one of the best places to join in the national celebration. There's food everywhere, including some tasty recipes that are saved for special occasions, like Chiles en Nogada. The Taco Fair (Feria del Taco) has to be one of the highlights of the festivities, "as the best taquerias in town serve their succulent creations with a myriad of fillings (fish, shrimp, carne asada, pollo, al pastor, chorizo, etc) and homemade salsas." Last year's Taco Fair was a big success at the Lazaro Cardenas Park.
Vallarta Food Tours guarantees visitors to Vallarta City will eat like a local for three hours. Join their food tour to taste authentic Mexican fare like traditional ceviche tostadas, mole enchiladas, and a jalapeño margarita.
"One of Vallarta Food Tours' favorite ways to celebrate is do our own Vallarta city walking food tour and hit one of the many local restaurants featuring Mexico's exquisite cuisine."
Whether you come to Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Cancun, Oaxaca or any other Mexican town to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day, you are bound to experience incredible cultural displays of dancing, music, arts, crafts, fireworks, local celebrities, and of course food.
At our Inizio Restaurants at our Club Regina resorts, our chefs prepare a special holiday menu for our guests. Make sure to ask each resort for details if you are visiting!
Where to Stay
Club Regina Puerto Vallarta offers comfortable amenities, on-site dining, and easy beach access right in the exclusive Marina Vallarta.
Villa Vera Puerto Vallarta is located near the restaurants and bars of the exclusive Marina Vallarta just a few miles from Puerto Vallarta's beaches and best attractions.

(Via the Drudge Report)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
And they say conservatives are the bigots...
Long periods of peace and quiet favor certain optical illusions. Among them is the assumption that the invulnerability of the home is founded upon the Constitution and safe-guarded by it. In reality, it rests upon the father of the family who, accompanied by his sons, appears with an ax on the threshold of his dwelling. -- Ernst Junger

Glowy Contour Tutorial
In this day and age, we are no strangers to contouring. What some of us are strangers to however, is proper contouring.
I hear so many say "I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to contouring, so I just don't". Thing is,
it's actually not difficult at all. Some think you have to contour your whole face, but you don't. The way I see it is, each person's face is different from the next, so one person may want to accentuate, or "contour " a feature that the next
person does not need to contour. One rule to remember here: If you want a dewey, or glow look, it's best to stick with creams and liquids. If you want a matte look, stick to powders. You can layer, but there is an order to layering. Never put a cream on top of a powder. You can however, start with a cream and set it with a powder. Below you can watch my video on how I achieve a glowy contour, read the step by step, and shop the products I use in my video.

Totally not what this blog is about.
I've never been a designer that cares much for designer print fabrics. I feel they have a tendency to date rooms and overpower the ambiance. They dictate color schemes, which I HATE. I'm fearless with color and enjoy using it to set the mood and complement your art or pieces from your personal collection. I much prefer using fabrics that settle into the environment and harmonize rather than dominate. Wools, silks, linens, flax, velvets, textured cottons, fabrics that are soothing and inviting. Love plaids, tweeds and strips! Mohair makes me GOOSE-PIMPLY!
Probably the most hated of all: printed fabrics with birds. Throw in a bow and I'll have a coronary. The two images shown below I find offensive. Sweet. Floral. Old lady.
LOVE Mrs. Doubtfire! Losing Robin was DEVASTATING! This gesture is meant for the fabrics above.
My favorite bird.
Shooting the bird: To present your middle finger to someone as an act of defiance. (Flip off, fuck you, the finger, flipping the bird)
I really didn't need to give the definition. We all know what it means. Especially in the act of bad driving and road rage. It's the only gesture we have to get our point across in that situation.
No one can shoot the bird like a Redneck. Especially a mad Redneck chick! We own it. I believe we invented it. We have been gracious, generous, and we have shared. It is a world-known gesture.
I'm not flippin you off, but I sure do it. A person must use restraint or it loses its meaning. I have this photograph in my phone. There are times it MUST be texted. There's also the version with no smile.

«The farm is in an isolated location and the cannabis factory was discovered in one of many outbuildings on the site with 20 separate rooms given over to cannabis production. Every room was set up for production from seedlings to mature plants with extensive hydroponic equipment. In our view this is a highly organised and sophisticate operation and one of the most significant in recent times..
At any rate, the dollar was separated from gold and a new method of evaluation had to be found. Dollar Index (USDX) which was established in March of 1973 with a base value of 100.

The story of the Tyrone Nuclear Power Plant has titanium cup a great deal to do with the former community's location along the Chippewa River with an unused railroad track right next to it. In addition, the area is remote from major metro areas, being about 20 miles downstream from Eau Claire and about 60 miles east of the Twin Cities metro area. It is not coincidental that Northern States Power Co., the developers of the Tyrone plant, has its headquarters located in Minneapolis.
Gene Pearce, a good friend and perhaps the most dogged reporter I know, has spent the better part of two years writing the definitive History of Tennessee Golf. Having served as one of the book's editors, I can attest to the thoroughness of Gene's book. He left no stone unturned as he tracked the histories of every course, every good player pro or amateur and significant others, such as Tennessee Golf Association executive director Dick Horton and David Stone, the respected greens superintendent at The Honors Course.

A full re-chroming of all of the brightwork also took place and this is all documented by photographs in the history file and then in 2015 the cylinder head was rebuilt enabling the car to run on unleaded fuel without the need for additives. The TR further benefits from a Phoenix exhaust and manifold, electronic ignition and a Petronix coil. The car runs extremely well and has a lovely throaty engine note, it drives just as it should with no faults.

Parking Lot Imposes Safety Hazards, Leads to New Regulations
Precautionary measures have been taken to reduce the risks of high traffic around the Warren High School parking lot requiring parents to drop off their students by 7:30 a.m., and students driving vehicles must be within the parking structure by 7:45 a.m.In addition, straggling students who enter the parking lot in vehicles will be required to identify themselves with their school identification card. Particularly this year, the chaos of students and vehicles weaving through the entrances and parking structure caused uneasiness amongst many, including the administrators. "We want to avoid and prevent any accidents," said Vice Principal Gilberto Rodriguez when asked why these regulations were being enforced. Rodriguez, head of the school safety at Warren, called these new regulations as procedural, and that they are being enacted with the best interests of the students' safety in mind. "Too many parents are dropping off their students close to 7:40 [a.m.], and not giving them enough time to make it to class," said Rodriguez. Truly, with approximately 4,000 students needing to arrive at school simultaneously, the traffic certainly does get hectic, and therefore dangerous. The rushing vehicles amidst the crowds of pedestrian students impose a safety hazard, as numerous accidents and incidents could potentially occur in such a congested area. Therefore, by regulating the time that vehicles can enter through the gates, "congestion will be reduced in the parking lot," said Rodriguez. "And students can travel faster to their classes without worrying about moving vehicles." In order to enforce these rules, both gates on Paramount Blvd. and DePalma Avenue will be closed after 7:30 a.m. However, the two pedestrian gates on both these streets will remain open for students. The regulations only apply to vehicles. Nevertheless, talk amongst the student population suggests that many believe these rules will not be carried out, or that if they are in the beginning of the school year, they will eventually cease to be enforced. Several students and parents disagreed about these regulations, and had negative comments on the subject. "I don't think it's a good idea because I think more kids will be tardy," said senior Natalie Bedran. "If a student happens to miss the gate, then they'd get into school even later than they normally would since the gates are closed off." Other students made comments such as Bedran's, and seemed upset about the new policy. In addition, several parents have also called the school office with complaints on the regulations. Above all, Rodriguez firmly believes that these regulations need to be enacted for the students' safety, and asks for parent and student compliance.

I love black. Black is the new black I think ;) You've obviously noticed a lot of it on Of Beauty & Grace and I guarantee you that will continue! I especially love monochromatic black, layered in textures. I scored this top from Anthropologie. The soft feather fringe and metallic thread in the tweed of the shirt made it a no brainer, especially at 40% off. Sold out online, you may still be lucky enough to snag one in a store. A zipper up the back gives the top a great, tailored fit. I paired it with my Leith midi skirt - a wardrobe staple! Buy one... or three if you don't already have one. A bargain at Nordstroms for only $38.00! For this look, I pulled it up on the waist to shorten the hem and balance the look. I love a longer coat worn over a shorter hem. Loeffler Randall continues to kill it in the mid-price luxury handbag category. This metallic pebbled leather rose gold clutch is absolutely stunning!
I hope you are staying dry out there! I have been working hard all week to bring you a ton of new looks coming at you this week, so stay tuned friends!

Plate decorated with an incised horse
Culture: Persia
Period: Sassanian, 6th-7th century A.D
Material: Silver
Dimensions: Diameter: 21.5 cm
Price: POR
Sotheby's London, November 14, 1966, Lot 29; Swiss private collection.
Complete and in excellent condition. Superficial wear and traces of dents. Oxidations and greenish patina on the outside.
This vessel, outstanding for its solidity and weight, was hammered from a cast silver bar. According to a quite unusual process for the Sassanid silversmiths, the decoration here is simply incised and has no engraved, embossed or gold element.
The plate is circular and shallow; the base has no foot and does not provide good balance. The rim is rounded, with no real lip.
As often in Sassanid art, the representation is highly stylized. This example is characterized by great simplicity (one may even wonder whether it is entirely finished) and by a wide use of the compass and of the ruler, which enabled the toreutic artist to trace the lines more quickly, while maintaining a remarkable formal accuracy.
The inner surface of the vessel, which has no subdivisions, no ground line, no landscape and no vegetal elements, is simply decorated with a horse that walks towards the right in a proud and solemn manner. Its strong and thick-set proportions are typical of contemporary Sassanid art. The harness is richly detailed (bridle, bit, saddle, the disk-like phalerae, the decorative ribbons on the tail, head and neck).
The use of the horse as a unique decorative motif is very rare in the Sassanid world and is only attested in glyptics and on one other silver cup, slightly different in type (provided with a disk-shaped foot and with ribs on the outside). In the Zoroastrian tradition, the horse belonged to the family of beneficent herbivores. Given its major role in Epic poetry, the animal was closely associated with royalty, as evidenced in this example by the presence of the fluttering ribbons adorning its neck and tail.
The Sassanids ruled Iran from 224 A.D. (end of the domination of the Parthian kings) until the Arab invasion of 651 A.D. This period was a golden age for Iran, in terms of art, politics and religion. The Sassanid Empire extended throughout the Near East, as it is still referred to today (Iran, Iraq, Armenia, southern Caucasus, southern Central Asia, western Afghanistan, part of Pakistan, eastern regions of Turkey, Syrian territories, part of the Arabian Peninsula). Historians consider this period as one of the most important in the history of Iran; in many ways, it represents the highest level of ancient Persian civilization, just before the Muslim conquest and the consequent adoption of the doctrine of Muhammad. The cultural influence of the Sassanids spread far beyond the borders of their empire, reaching Western Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the and Far East, and played a role not only in the emerging Islamic culture and civilization but also in Byzantine, Asian and European art of the early Middle Ages.

So far, the Holocaust became a potent campaign weapon for the Zionists. The role of information media seems to be the backbone of this success. As acknowledged by Edward W. Said in his book, The Question of Palestine, which highlights the NBC television broadcast in the spring of 1978.
According to the Palestinian-blooded American cendikiwan, the audience would realize that At least a portion of the program is intended as a justification of Zionism-even though almost at the same time, Israeli forces in Lebanon do destruction, with thousands of civilian loss of life and suffering that is not unspoken but a handful of journalists who dare to describe the action like the destruction of the U.S. in Vietnam.
One journalist called Said, for example, HDS Greenway. The journalist wrote in the Washington Post on March 25, 1978, titled Vietnam-style Raids Gut South Lebanon: Israel Leaves A Path of Destruction.
Blurring anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist
Interesting posts can be read by Norman G Finkelstein processed, in the book The Holocaust Industry. Finkelstein background is quite unique, because his parents escaped from the Warsaw ghetto and the Nazi concentration camps. Yes, he was a Jew.
According to him, the Holocaust ideology proved to be a vital weapon. Highlighting Israel, Finkelstein writes, "Through its deployment, one of the countries with an awesome military power, with a record of appalling human rights, has been photographing himself as the 'victim', and the most successful ethnic group in the U.S. has also managed the status as victims."
As the "industry", Finkelstein describes the action of raising funds to help the victims'' who escaped the Holocaust''. However, he questioned where the funds ended.
On the other hand, the Holocaust museum was scattered in different countries and the number in the tens. In the U.S. alone, there are at least 23 museums. In Washington DC, for example, there is the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In addition to presenting the film, the museum showcases a variety of items, like a pile of old shoes, carriages, hundreds of other artifacts. The written statement said the items relics of the Holocaust victims.
One idea raised was the term anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist almost always confused. Again Said wrote, "The adherents of radical liberalism or even if unable to stem the habit of equating "Zionist" anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist". Apparently, many are falling into the trap of the Zionists.
In the middle there is a Jewish minority votes against Zionism, especially among scientists. While in Israel grassroots, emerging groups such as Matzpen. This socialist-leaning groups claim to be anti-Israel.
Anti-Zionist and anti-Israel attitude and even held by some Orthodox Jews. In the U.S. for example, you might have seen them march to criticize Israel when the Global Movement to Jerusalem (GMJ) launched recently.
Now, the Mediterranean Sea as a witness that the blood and tears shed as if competing in Palestine. Do you think the May 1, 1948 as an-Nakhbah, or the day of victory that marked the founding of Israel? History has been recalled.
This is the end of a series of posts Zionist Confuse : Argentina or Palestine.

I would like to report that the three patrol teams recently deployed in our area of operations were successful. The patrol teams removed twenty-eight (28) snares and recovered buffalo meat and three rifles. The members of the patrol teams are happy and ready to work anywhere, anytime to continue these operations.
Your continued support allows us to continue our success. Now, during the rainy season, poaching increases. The roads become impassable. The recent purchase of a boat for our use will make a big difference this year. Thank you for the boat!

Selling a yacht in today's market
I'm always keen to look at a different way to market a yacht to get sales for clients. There's many ways an owner can consider marketing, each of them with a different price point.
Boat Shows
At the top of the tree, there's the touring boat shows around the world. Cost of mooring, fuel to get there, entry into the show, cost of entertaining guests and additional marketing requirements around the event, all add up. If the yacht doesn't sell, it's off to the next one. I've seen yachts taking years to sell, and presented to the boat shows every year and still not selling. Expect to budget over £50k each boat show for a larger yacht.
Magazine Advertising
Next to consider is taking out an advert in Boat International, SuperYacht World or Yacht Investor. These magazines can also do a feature on your yacht to compliment the advert. Their online site can also feature your yacht as a banner ad. Working with a broker, these costs can be considerably less as often we have a relationship with editorial teams. Somewhere around £20k-£30k will be needed for full page adverts in prime position.
360 Graphic Fly Through
One of the latest ways to help potential owners to get a better feel of the yacht is by having a 360 view. One of the best I've seen is where the camera scans each room and the image is stitched together at a 4K resolution. This allows a walkthrough to take place and zooming in on any feature for more detail. Using low cost Google cardboard 3D glasses also brings it life even more. Pricing is likely to be around £10k-£15k for a quality job.
TV Channels
Producing content for your yacht for showcasing on luxury channels can help build awareness and bring attention to the yacht in a different setting. Often watching on a big screen at home, brings the experience to life in a way that magazine and other advertising are unable to do. Short profiles can be done at a reasonable price and certainly under £10k.
Creating a website specifically for your yacht is a great idea. You're able to publish everything about the yacht including crew details, and then add plenty of your favourite images taking on your iPhone. Add a little footage from a drone, and you'll be giving your visitors some treats on the eye. The cost of creating websites has reduced significantly and can generally be pulled together for under £5k.
Social Media
By far the cheapest and sometimes more effective is social media. Whether it's a blog like this on LinkedIn, sharing a picture on instagram or providing updates on Twitter, costs next to nothing. There's tools you can use to automate and schedule the posts to target potential owners in different time zones too. Tracking progress, changing messages, trying different posts and generally spending focussed time and effort on selling can provide rewards. These type of packages can often be a few thousand over a year.
Selling a yacht takes time. Choosing how to market her takes careful selection too. Working with a broker to choose the most cost effective approach relative to the time required to sell is your best option. At Lomond Yachts we are well placed to provide all of these services and keen to work with you to help you sell your yacht using the best channels.

No matter how many times I receive shipments of my books, I will never get over the joy of slitting open the boxes and seeing all those copies of a book that I wrote. It gives me such a thrill! Now, if I could just entice a literary agent to get excited about one of my other novels!

It's that time of year where we are all getting excited about the silly season, going on holidays, summer vacations and hopefully traveling overseas…….it can't be nearly Christmas already?!!!! Where has the year gone?!
I for one love going overseas and make it a yearly occurrence. With a wife from Canada, we always head there first and then try and attach another destination.
Whilst they are fun and relaxing, holidays can be super stressful for your body and its functionality and normality. I think it tends to have more impact on those that are highly routine and fine-tuned. Therefore, for me personally, I always take a long time to get back to normal once I arrive at a destination or once I get home from the trip.
Over the years I have gained more experienced and learned a few tricks in order to minimise the impact of traveling on my body and health and I would love to share them with you.

I've been to "Barca" many times. It's one of the weirdest and coolest cities in Europe. Where most other cities, have symmetric architecture, Barcelona seems to have been designed on an acid trip! Some of the most stunningly beautifully architected buildings in Europe, can be found in Barcelona.
Believe me or not, but that thing in the picture for this blog, is actually a Christian Cathedral. Gaudi was like the Picasso of architecture. His weirdness has never been matched, and his buildings are amongst some of the most stunningly beautiful buildings ever created on this Earth.
And believe me, you haven't partied, before you've done "La Rambla". It's just one of those streets, where you simply might end up never getting home from … 😉
In fact, if you're a System Developer, a nice introduction to "Barca" is to attend Microsoft's "TechEd". Which usually is held in Barcelona. It's basically a week of partying, with intellectual education during the day. I've been to TechEd many times. Once I even had a booth there, promoting my Ajax libraries. Barca is just simply one of those cities you *must* see before you die! However, don't make the mistake of calling the people of Barcelona for "Spaniards". They're from Catalonia, and they're freakin' proud of that fact. Spaniards are considered malicious conquerors and imperialists in Catalonia … 😉
Just like I am no Norwegian, but a North Norwegian. Believe me, there is a HUGE difference!

Jill! That's her in the middle.
Today on the death writer blog, I've invited Jill Brodsky to post about Jewish customs surrounding death, something that impacted her growing up. Why am I having a guest blogger? Well, there are several reasons. For one, I'm busier than a three-balled tomcat with this A to Z challenge and the volunteer duties at my kids' school with the Scholastic Book Fair. Second, I didn't have a post for J and Jill e-mailed me out of the blue a couple of days ago. It was totally serendipitous and when those signs from the universe appear, I like to take advantage of them. And lastly, I'm going through some minor medical issues that I dealt with a few years ago that I wrote about in my book. Okay, you're probably wondering what they are, so I'll just go ahead and tell you. I've got a nodule on my thyroid and doctors like to stick a large hollow needle into my neck to check if its cancer and I've got a whole month of waiting before that happens. Me and Google need to stay far, far away from each other right now.
So, how do I know Jill? Well, we met my first semester of grad school at Goucher College, where we had the same mentor, Diana Hume George. Long story short, Jill was writing about her love of rats when I met her, and then a year later, she won the Chris White Award for personal essay about experiencing a brain hemorrhage at 17. Jill is a vegetarian, a blogger and the proud parent of two weenie dogs.
So here she is...
Hi. My name is Jill and I am Jewish. I recently sent Pam a brief note about my relationship with death as a Jew in response to what I have been reading in her A-Z challenge and some other posts. She has requested that I be a guest blogger for the day of "J" (for Jill? For Judaism?) and I am flattered. I will say that the following is what I have learned as a Reform Jew (as opposed to Orthodox, for example) in the United States. I have had this information looked over by other Jews to ensure accuracy but I do apologize if what you may know is different. Judaism is also a religion that encourages interpretation by the individual and this is how I interpret what I have learned.
Of all the life cycle and tradition lessons that I sat through in religious school, death was really the biggest thing for me. I vividly remember our parents were invited to stay one Sunday (yes, Jews have Sunday school) and we watched a video called The Plain Pine Box, which pretty much explained everything behind the Jewish funeral and burial process. If you were super religious you wouldn't even have a casket because that is a barrier between you and the earth, but a plain pine box is the next best thing. It also has to do with federal and state requirements for burials stating that you must have a casket. Those fancy schmancy caskets? Waste of money. And a good way to keep your body from decomposing into the earth like it should. That's not to say that many Jews don't get some upgraded caskets that are polished and shiny, but they are always wood. But ever since that movie I have been "dead" set on a plain pine box. Why spend loads on something fancy that will just go into the ground where nobody can see it?
When I went to Israel a few years ago I found out that at Mount Herzl cemetery in Jerusalem where the war dead are buried, it was only recently deemed OK to bury in caskets at all. Because modern warfare is so brutal and can leave the deceased in more than one piece, the reform was thought necessary. It was hard not to think about the soldiers that were with us, their friends who died in battle, and what might happen to all them.
In Judaism we don't have open casket wakes, either. I realized this difference between Christian funerals and Jewish funerals when I was pretty young and I'm sure it was explained to me many times over as to why we Jews don't view the body pre-burial. My favorite way that it was explained to me was that it is not respectful to look at somebody when that person cannot look back at you. That in itself hit me deeply at a young age. The dead body cannot look back at you. We are respecting the dead. We also give a 6-month period before dedicating a grave and giving it a headstone so that the soul can find its way to its final resting place, so it's not like the soul can look back, either.
As for embalming, we don't do that because it is unnatural and takes away part of the body that should go back to the earth. It preserves the body, too. We don't want to preserve the body. You know the saying "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"? Since we come from dust, we must go back to dust and any sort of preservation or postponing a burial will keep the body from going back to dust. We bury our deceased as soon after the actual death as possible.
I love the Jewish way of dealing with death and the dead body. No fancying up a dead body, a lot of respect involved, and a lot of focus on celebrating the life that was. The wedding, birth, bar and bat mitzvah lessons? Flew by me. Death is what really got me.

Former Prenda Lawyer Hit With A $50,000 Counterclaim In ADA Shakedown Lawsuit
from the trolling-for-ADA-dollars dept
Late in 2013, Paul Hansmeier, formerly of Prenda Law's Legal Buffoonery on Wheels Copyright
Death Suicide Squad, realized that participating in a multi-jurisdictional legal train wreck had left him oddly unfulfilled. If the promise contained in his law degree was ever to be fulfilled, he would need to reassess his shakedown-focused lawyering.
After an indeterminable amount of thought, Hansmeier apparently arrived at the conclusion that -- unfulfilled promise or no -- he was really only good at one thing: shaking people down. And, sadly, he wasn't even all that great at that. But "sue what you know," as they say, and Hansmeier went about rebranding himself as a Champion of the Weak and Underprivileged.
No longer would he be throwing shaky demand letters and even shakier lawsuits at Household Members Voted Most Likely To Download Porn by the loose confederation of shakedown artists d/b/a An Actual Law Firm ("Come see our letterhead!"). That was the old Paul Hansmeier.
The new Paul Hansmeier would instead be throwing shaky lawsuits and demand letters at any company whose towel racks were located more than 32" above the ground or whose entry threshold was a ¼" above the legally-mandated height. The smaller the company the better, as they rarely even bothered to show up in court and would instead settle for a small fee.
The new Paul Hansmeier's operations were so efficient he could barely keep himself stocked in A4. Filings were submitted so fast not even the plaintiffs were aware they were listed as plaintiffs. And it was working, to a limited extent. Hansmeier was able to knock over a few mom-and-pop businesses for a few grand each. But now he's run into Kahler Hotels, which not only isn't interested in his ADA shakedown claims, but is countersuing him for $50,000+. (h/t to Dan Browning of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune)
In its response to Hansmeier's complaint, Kahler denies a majority of the allegations before moving on to its own complaints.
COUNT I - ABUSE OF PROCESSWhether or not the counterclaims (which are really, really vague) hold up remains to be seen, but this motion should give Hansmeier second thoughts about trolling this particular venue for easy ADA cash.
1. Defendants are owners of real property located in Rochester, Minnesota.
2. Plaintiffs filed and served the instant action alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act and unfair discrimination.
3. Plaintiffs have an ulterior purpose in pursuing the claims set forth in their Complaint.
4. Plaintiffs' Complaint misuses and perverts the purpose of a civil action.
5. As a direct and proximate result of Plaintiffs' abuse of process, Defendants have sustained damages in excess of $50,000.
6. Defendants incorporate in this paragraph the allegations set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 5 as though they were fully set forth herein.
7. The Plaintiffs are engaged in a civil conspiracy to accomplish some concerted action, which injures Defendants.
8. The Plaintiffs did commit, and executed certain acts in pursuance of certain torts as previously delineated against the Defendants.
9. That as a result of the Plaintiffs' tortious conduct alleged herein, Plaintiffs did conspire and agree to commit such acts.
10. As a direct and proximate result thereof, Defendants have sustained damages in excess of $50,000.
WHEREFORE, Defendants pray for entry of judgment as follows:
1. Plaintiffs take nothing by their Complaint as alleged;
2. Defendants are awarded damages in excess of $50,000 together with interest, costs, disbursements and attorney's fees; and
3. The court order such further relief as it deems just and equitable.

HONG KONG — Six bottles of 1990 Romanée-Conti Burgundy sold to an Asian buyer at a Christie's auction in Hong Kong last month for 980,000 Hong Kong dollars ($126,345). A case of wine from the Cros Parantoux vineyard in Burgundy, France, fetched $82,333 in a sale held by the American auction house Acker Merrall & Condit at a restaurant overlooking Hong Kong's harbor.
Fine wine comes at a price in Asia, but there are plenty of buyers. Asian consumers have become a major factor in the global wine market, with China overtaking France and Italy last year as the biggest consumer of red wine. Now, customers in the region are getting more sophisticated, educated and diverse in their wine choices.
"There are a lot more wine lovers in Asia, and they are enjoying a lot more wines," Simon Tam, head of wine at Christie's China, said about the auction house's recent sale. "The market is maturing very, very rapidly."
Asians have traditionally been drinkers of whiskey, brandy and local spirits like baijiu, a liquor distilled from grain, rather than wine. But rising wealth, a penchant for giving gifts and a constant search for new types of investment have turned affluent Asians into avid buyers of top wines and other luxury items in recent years.
Hong Kong, which was barely featured on the international wine scene a decade ago, has become a major hub for wine trading since taxes on wine were abolished here in 2008. Dozens of merchants have opened operations, including famous players like the British company Berry Brothers & Rudd, which traces its roots to 1698, and niche establishments like La Cabane, which sells natural wines from small vineyards in France.
Even in Singapore, where taxes add considerably to the price of a bottle of wine, CWT, a logistics company, is spending 200 million Singapore dollars ($158 million) on a high-end wine storage facility that will be able to store 10 million bottles in air-conditioned and humidity- and light-controlled conditions.
"For Asian buyers, it's a lot about prestige — about enjoying wines as a luxury," said Robert Sleigh, head of the wine department at Sotheby's in Asia. "They are prepared to pay substantial premiums for wines that come directly from the vineyard and they put a lot of importance on the cosmetic appearance of the bottle."
Slowing momentum in some Asian economies and Beijing's determination to rein in flashy spending by state officials have helped to inject some sobriety into the market. Average lot prices at Christie's wine sales in Hong Kong are 30,000 to 60,000 Hong Kong dollars (roughly $3,860 to $7,730), down from about 150,000 to 200,000 dollars in 2010, Mr. Tam said. The average price of bottles sold by Acker Merrall fell by about half from 2011 to 2013.
In the early years of the boom, buyers, still unsure of themselves, focused on just a few dozen notable names. French Bordeaux wines were a particular favorite and dominated sales.
Now buyers have spread their wings and are purchasing more types of wines, and from more places, than they did a few years ago. This trend echoes what is happening in other categories of luxury spending, like handbags or clothing, where an initial allegiance to big-name, highly recognizable brands has begun to fade as shoppers have become more confident and individualistic.
"We have a customer who used to buy a bottle of Bordeaux with us every week," said Vincent Feron, a sommelier who works at Winebeast, a small store that opened in the bustling Hong Kong neighborhood of Wan Chai last year and sells mostly French and Spanish wines.
"Now, he has started to explore other wines, and really likes Languedoc," Mr. Feron said, referring to an area in southern France. "People like to be educated. As soon as they get to trust you, they are prepared to take your advice."
Retailers and top restaurants have reacted to Asian consumers' rapidly evolving appetites by beefing up their wine selections and making sure they have staff members who are well trained in wine selection.
The four elegant restaurants in the InterContinental hotel on the Hong Kong waterfront, for example, employ two sommeliers each. Among them, they stock 1,700 labels, costing at least $75 a bottle and as much as several thousand United States dollars at the top end, said Christoph Travniczek, a senior manager for food and beverage at the hotel. Guests do still occasionally splash out on wines that cost thousands of United States dollars a bottle. But they "are no longer simply buying whatever is most expensive on the wine list," Mr. Travniczek said. "They buy what they like, and they listen to the recommendations of the sommeliers."
China, with nearly 1.4 billion inhabitants, continues to drive global consumption, especially of red wines, which are far more popular in the country than whites. Nearly 1.9 billion bottles of red were consumed in China last year, according to a study commissioned by the organizers of the Vinexpo wine and spirits industry exhibition, which takes place in Hong Kong next month. That is more than twice the amount in 2008. China is also one of the world's biggest producers of wine, though the quality is for the most part still low.
Wine fans in Hong Kong, mainland China and elsewhere in Asia are also increasingly prepared to invest considerable time and effort in soaking up not just the beverage itself, but also the information that goes into drinking and purchasing decisions.
Calvin Tan caught the wine bug two years ago and has since taken two wine courses, including one at a French wine academy, L'École du Vin de France, which opened an office in Hong Kong in 2011.
"I needed a hobby, and I love drinking and eating good food, so this was perfect," he said.
Mr. Tan, who works for an American bank in Hong Kong, is not in the market for top wines of the kind sold by Sotheby's and Christie's. The most expensive wine he ever had was an Italian red that cost about 800 Hong Kong dollars. But his eagerness to learn and branch out — his favorites now are Riojas and New Zealand pinot noirs — exemplifies the shift that is happening among Asian wine lovers.
"In the beginning, many of those who signed up for our activities knew very little about wine," said Marjolaine Roblette-Geres, L'École du Vin's representative in Hong Kong. "Now, many already know quite a lot, and they want to broaden their knowledge," she said, adding that the school was considering offering classes in Beijing and Guangzhou, in neighboring mainland China.
All this gives wine experts the confidence that Asian buyers will continue to spend big on wines, despite the fading growth momentum in many of the region's economies. "We still dream of the highs of 2010 and 2011," said John Kapon, the chief executive of Acker Merrall. "But 2014 got off to a good start, and greater China remains the No. 1 driver of the global market."

I've been thinking a lot about community lately. I was super encouraged by Megan from Sorta Crunchy's call to 40 Days of Community (I came in a few days late but am starting to join in it now), and it came at the perfect time for me.
Our church is very community based. We have meals together twice a month, meet at the beach weekly in the summer and really emphasize our Community Groups as the most important way to get involved in the church, connected with other believers to do life together, and reach out to our communities.
Last week our church brought in a guest speaker, Steve Timmis, who shared on living in community. As he taught and shared about what life looks like for his church in Sheffield, England and their "gospel communities" (that's what they call their small groups), the biggest thing I took away from it explained why I feel like the reaching out part is the hardest for me.
It's because the relationships where we're trying to be a light for Jesus don't always happen naturally; nope, rather, it's all about intentionality.
Steve talked about his gospel community being simply ordinary people, living ordinary life, but with gospel intentionality.
And yet, outreach, and being intentional about it, was talked about not as a particular event, a program or anything like that, but rather just part of life.
Me living my life in a way that makes others curious.
Getting non-believers integrated into relationships within the community of believers, so they see us "gospeling" one another.
I like how he used the word gospel as a verb. Because it's not a one-time deal like I used to think. It goes beyond sharing the gospel with the four spiritual laws or merely even the Good News about what Jesus did for us way back when.
It's ongoing, this Gospel. It's a way of life, not just a message hope {it is a message of hope, of course, but so much more, too}.
So, how do we "gospel" one another within community? It's all about...
- holding each other accountable
- modeling this good life we have in the Lord
- inviting others in
- making adjustments to life {to accomodate community}
- calling people away from careerism {love this}
- and calling people away from the idolatry of the nuclear family {more on this later}
I feel like for our family, living with a sense of being in community with other believers isn't too hard, because we really love our church family. We still want to do more and go deeper with our small group, but it's the intentionality of the gospel that we need to seek more and more.
We want to be intentional about gospeling each other and reaching out to the community where the Lord has us. We love where we live, our neighborhood, and the friends we've made in our neighbors.
Now it's time to be mindful about living in community with them and inviting them more and more into our lives and into our community of believers.
We need to fight against the Christian bubble, and instead, through the Holy Spirit, be impacting the community for Christ.
I don't think it's a coincidence that I'm feeling all of this on my heart as we approach moving into our next home, a home which has the bigger living space we prayed for specifically with the purpose of entertaining/hosting more and offering the open and inviting feel that we mention in our family mission statement.
Many people are taking this season leading up to Easter to be intentional about something, whether it's through sacrificing something or another way. I feel like I've stumbled into this season with a vision of praying and preparing myself and my family for living a life with more gospel-intentionality.
I'm challenging myself to keep my eyes open for how I can go deeper and reach out more within my own various little communities, such as:
- my neighborhood
- my daughter's preschool
- the women I hope to connect more with come summer through my Surf Mamas group
- and the blogging community
I don't expect this way of life to be easy. Just today Sarah Markley wrote beautifully about how community can be hard for some of us. But if we want to live life fully, I'm sensing that this is the direction in which our family needs to head.
So what about you? Are you living with gospel-intentionality? I'd love to hear how that plays out in your life, or where you feel like you could be even more intentional.
For reference, Steve Timmis is the author of Total Church and Gospel-Centered Life, two books our church has read together.
These random photos are meant to showcase a few ways I feel that community has played out in our lives. :)

Innovation is continually advancing. New improvements, for example, OpenStack, Progressive Web Apps, Rust, R, the psychological cloud, man-made brainpower (AI), the Internet of Things, and more are setting our typical ideal models aside for later. Here is a once-over of the best open source patterns anticipated that would take off in prevalence in 2018.
1. OpenStack increases expanding acknowledgmentOpenStack is basically a cloud working framework that offers administrators the capacity to arrangement and control enormous figure, stockpiling, and systems administration assets through a natural and easy to understand dashboard.
The RDO ProjectNumerous endeavors are utilizing the OpenStack stage to manufacture and oversee distributed computing frameworks. Its prevalence lays on its adaptable biological system, straightforwardness, and speed. It underpins mission-basic applications easily and brings down costs contrasted with choices. Be that as it may, OpenStack's intricate structure and its reliance on virtualization, servers, and broad systems administration assets has repressed its reception by a more extensive scope of ventures. Utilizing OpenStack additionally requires an all-around oiled hardware of gifted staff and assets.
The OpenStack Foundation is working additional time to fill the voids. A few advancements, either discharged or on the iron block, would resolve a considerable lot of its fundamental difficulties. As complexities diminish, OpenStack will flood in acknowledgment. The way that OpenStack is as of now supported by numerous enormous programming advancement and facilitating organizations, notwithstanding a large number of individual individuals, makes it the eventual fate of distributed computing.
2. Dynamic Web Apps wind up prevalentDynamic Web Apps (PWA), a collection of advancements, outline ideas, and web APIs, offers an application like involvement in the portable program.
Customary sites experience the ill effects of numerous innate inadequacies. Applications, despite the fact that offering a closer to home and centered commitment than sites, put a colossal interest on assets, including waiting to be downloaded forthright. PWA conveys the best of the two universes. It conveys an application like an ordeal to clients while being available on programs, indexable on web crawlers, and receptive to fit any shape factor. Like an application, a PWA refreshes itself to dependably show the most recent ongoing data, and, similar to a site, it is conveyed in an ultra-safe HTTPS display. It keeps running in a standard compartment and is open to any individual who composes in the URL, without introducing anything.
PWAs flawlessly suit the necessities of the present versatile clients, who esteem accommodation and individual commitment over everything else. That this innovation is set to take off in notoriety is an easy decision.
3. Rust to control the perchMost programming dialects accompany security versus control tradeoffs. Rust is a special case. The dialect co-selects broad aggregate time checking to offer 100% control without trading off security. The last Pwn2Own rivalry hurled numerous genuine vulnerabilities in Firefox by virtue of its fundamental C++ dialect. On the off chance that Firefox had been composed in Rust, a significant number of those blunders would have shown as assemble time bugs and settled before the item rollout organize.
Rust's exceptional methodology of implicit unit testing has driven engineers to think of it as a suitable first-decision open source dialect. It offers a powerful option in contrast to dialects, for example, C and Python to compose secure code without giving up expressiveness. Rust has splendid days ahead in 2018.
4. R client network developsThe R programming dialect, a GNU venture, is related with measurable registering and illustrations. It offers a wide exhibit of factual and graphical systems and is extensible to boot. It begins where S closes. With the S dialect as of now the vehicle of decision for examining in measurable strategy, R offers a reasonable open source course for information control, computation, and graphical showcase. An additional advantage is R's meticulousness and care for the better subtleties.
Like Rust, R's fortunes are on the ascent.
5. XaaS grows in scopeXaaS, an acronym for "anything as an administration," remains for the expanding number of administrations conveyed over the web, as opposed to on premises. In spite of the fact that product as an administration (SaaS), framework as an administration (IaaS), and stage as an administration (PaaS) are all around dug in, new cloud-based models, for example, organize as an administration (NaaS), stockpiling as an administration (SaaS or StaaS), checking as an administration (MaaS), and interchanges as an administration (CaaS), are taking off in fame. An existence where everything without exception is accessible "as an administration" isn't far away.
The extent of XaaS currently reaches out to blocks and-mortar organizations, also. Great precedents are organizations, for example, Uber and Lyft utilizing advanced innovation to offer transportation as an administration and Airbnb offering to house as an administration.
Fast systems and server virtualization that make ground-breaking processing reasonable have quickened the notoriety of XaaS, to the point that 2018 may turn into the "time of XaaS." The unmatched adaptability, dexterity, and versatility will impel the fame of XaaS much further.
6. Holders increase significantly more acknowledgmentCompartment innovation is the methodology of bundling bits of code standardized so they can be "stopped and run" rapidly in any condition. Compartment innovation enables undertakings to cut expenses and execution times. While the capability of holders to change IT foundation has been clear for some time, real compartment utilize has stayed complex.
Holder innovation is as yet developing, and the complexities related to the innovation diminish with each headway. The most recent advancements make holders very instinctive and as simple as utilizing a cell phone, also tuned for the present needs, where speed and nimbleness can represent the deciding moment a business.
7. Machine learning and man-made brainpower extend in scopeMachine learning and AI enable machines to take in and enhance for a fact without a software engineer unequivocally coding the guidance.
These innovations are as of now very much dug in, with a few open source advancements utilizing them for bleeding edge administrations and applications.
Gartner predicts the extent of machine learning and man-made reasoning will extend in 2018. A few greenfield zones, for example, information arrangement, joining, calculation determination, preparing system choice, and model creation are good to go for big-time improvements through the implantation of machine learning.
New open source wise arrangements are set to change the manner in which individuals associate with frameworks and change the plain idea of work.
Conversational stages, for example, chatbots, make the inquiry and-direction encounter, where a client makes an inquiry and the stage reacts, the default medium of associating with machines.
Self-ruling vehicles and automatons, extravagant trends today, are relied upon to end up ordinary by 2018.
The extent of immersive experience will grow past computer games and apply to genuine situations, for example, outline, preparing, and perception forms.
8. Blockchain progresses toward becoming standardBlockchain has made some amazing progress from Bitcoin. The innovation is as of now in broad use in the back, secure voting, verifying scholarly accreditations, and then some. In the coming year, medicinal services, producing, production network coordination, and taxpayer-supported organizations are among the parts destined to grasp blockchain innovation.
Blockchain circulates computerized data. The data dwells on a large number of hubs, in shared and accommodated databases. The way that it's not controlled by any single expert and has no single purpose of disappointment makes it exceptionally strong, straightforward, and ethical. It likewise explains the risk of a mediator controlling the information. Such inborn qualities represent blockchain's taking off fame and clarify why it is probably going to rise as a standard innovation in the quick future.
9. Subjective cloud moves to the all-important focal pointSubjective advancements, for example, machine learning and computerized reasoning, are progressively used to decrease multifaceted nature and customize encounters over different divisions. One valid example is gamification applications in the budgetary division, which offer financial specialists basic venture experiences and decrease the complexities of speculation models. Advanced trust stages diminish the personality check process for budgetary establishments by around 80%, enhancing consistency and lessening odds of extortion.
Such subjective cloud innovations are currently moving to the cloud, making it significantly more intense and great. IBM Watson is the most understood case of the subjective cloud in real life. IBM's UIMA engineering was made open source and is kept up by the Apache Foundation. DARPA's DeepDive venture reflects Watson's machine learning capacities to improve basic leadership abilities after some time by gaining from human collaborations. OpenCog, another open source stage, enables engineers and information researchers to create man-made consciousness applications and projects.
Thinking about the high stakes of conveying intense and altered encounters, these intellectual cloud stages are set to become the dominant focal point over the coming year.
10. The Internet of Things interfaces more thingsAt its center, the Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of gadgets through installed sensors or other processing gadgets that empower the gadgets (the "things") to send and get information. IoT is as of now anticipated to be the following enormous major disruptor of the tech space, yet IoT itself is in a persistent condition of motion.
One advancement prone to increase across the board acknowledgment inside the IoT space is Autonomous Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Telemetry (ADEPT), which is impelled by IBM and Samsung. It utilizes a blockchain-type innovation to convey a decentralized system of IoT gadgets. Flexibility from a focal control framework encourages self-sufficient interchanges between "things" with a specific end goal to oversee programming refreshes, resolve bugs, oversee vitality, and that's only the tip of the iceberg
