The first half didn't go well for the Falcons and the second half is looking even worse.
Matt Ryan was stripped on a sack by Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher scooped the ball up for a 12-yard touchdown return to put the Bears up 30-6 in the third quarter at Soldier Field. The touchdown came on the heels of a Bears touchdown drive that ended when Jay Cutler found Matt Spaeth on a play-action pass from the one. It looked like Devin Hester might have gotten into the end zone on the previous play, but the refs ruled he was out on the one and a Lovie Smith challenge failed to change that decision.
Things were briefly looking up for the Falcons on their first drive of the second half when they took the ball from their own six into the red zone. The drive stalled when the Bears defense made a couple of plays and the Falcons had to settle for a Matt Bryant field goal. That killed their momentum and now all of it is on Chicago's side as everything is breaking the Bears' way this afternoon.

Patriotic Parfait
How can you go wrong with Jell-O and Cool Whip?! This is a refreshing and light dessert for any holiday or any day really. I got the recipe from the Kraft Foods website but changed it a little so that the Jell-O held its square shape a little better ... somewhere in between regular Jell-O and Jell-O jigglers.
1 (6 oz) box blue Jell-O
1 (6 oz) box red Jell-O
Cool Whip
Pour 1 1/4 cups boiling water into blue Jell-O in an 8x8 dish. Stir about 3 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup cold water. Chill at least 3 hours. Repeat the same process with the red Jell-O. When the Jell-O is set cut into 1 inch cubes and layer with Cool Whip. Enjoy. :)

The gold pattern is painted on with Zoya Ziv, another great polish. I used my regular medium length brush to draw the main path/shape of the swirl, then built onto it by thickening some parts and adding leafy extensions. I used a tiny dotting tool for the dots. Lesson learned: don't overdot. Too many dots makes it look cluttered.
turquoise and gold, but this combination is definitely giving some competition. Until next time!

Queen Anne Neighbors for Responsible Growth
RE: Queen Anne Farmers Market
After a very successful year in 2010, the Queen Anne Farmers Market (QAFM) is looking forward to its 2011 Grand Opening on Thursday, June 2. After four years of operation, a new vision of the market calls for putting in place measures that will insure long-term sustainability of this popular community resource.
Much of the success of the market so far has been due to the passion, devotion, and commitment of Julie Whitehorn. But with success come changes, which means for the coming 2011 season, Queen Anne Neighbors for Responsible Growth (QANRG), the fiscal sponsor of the market, will assume overall responsibility for the market, and will be and implementing a new management team. Julie may serve as a consultant, utilizing her knowledge and experiences for those market activities in which she has been so successful in past seasons.
As part of this new vision, a new QAFM Advisory Board is being formed, consisting of a broad representation from the Queen Anne community. The Board's main function will be to develop, recommend, and implement plans for the long-term health of the market, including financial self-sufficiency and adapting to the needs and desires of the community as necessary.
The Seattle Office of Economic Development (OED) has oversight responsibility for the farmers markets in the city and has provided invaluable leadership and support for these changes for the QAFM. Without OED's guidance and support, this would not have been possible.

On second February 2012 two very large numbers presented themselves in articles online. The first, on Reuters, was that Sony are predicting that they are expecting to make a $2.9 billion LOSS this financial year, that's four years of continual losses.This is one of the biggest electrical company in the world who invented the Walkman, Trinitron TVs, the Playstation and er Betamax.
But in the last decade they really haven't been beating competitors to market with anything amazing. Blu-ray is a collaboration of companies and they have released nothing to compete with the iPad/Pod/Touch/Mac products. They hope to finally start making profit on their TVs in 2013, but that will partly be by selling off their LCD screen production facilities to Samsung for £600 million - hardly innovative.
It's hard to think of an electronic section Sony do not produce products for; VAIO laptops, stills cameras, broadcast cameras, TVs, mobile phones (just), etc. but I can't think of any product that is the market leader - they are no longer a Brand Leader. They are missing a fantastic opportunity to lead the way in DSLR video technology. They have a pretty good series of DSLR and extensive knowledge of video and broadcast requirements, so why haven't they produced a product like the Canon C300 or Panasonic AF101. Oh, sorry, they have. The Sony NEX-FS100E. Sorry again, but it isn't exactly the piece of equipment every cameraman want to get his hands on - unlike the Canon C300.
So Sony have making products but can't really work out what product everyone really wants. One person who was (and is) rather good at working this out is Mark Zuckerberg who had the other outstanding number on the 2nd February. He is set to earn $28 billion when Facebook is publically offered and I have been debating what a person could actually do with that amount of money. My suggestion would be for him to buy Sony, rename it Sony Inc. and start producing the products that some people pay Apple type premiums for at the moment.

Hey you know those muffins you buy in cafes, how they have that little paper skirt on that is easy to lift away from the muffin? Well a few months ago I discovered that you could buy a box of those little paper wraps from the grocery store. Weeks later and I realised this was getting quite expensive (about $4.95 for a box of 24) as I love to make muffins for my son's lunch box most weeks.
This is where my frugal and creative self clicked in and I have a short video to teach you how to save yourself some money (better in my Heritage Bank account that theirs), washing up and waste by making your own!
I have written this post for the Heritage Bank Savvy Savers Competition. The winner is determined by number of votes so I hope you will help me out by voting for my blog post. If you do the lovely people at the Heritage Bank will put you in the running to win a $100 Heritage Card!!! Win win!
Have a look and tell me what you think.

Centuries-long hostility between Scotland and England affected the pattern of criminal activity in the Anglo-Scottish Border lands. This is a fascinating account of how the area created and refined a new system of law to deal with the conflict in the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries.
About the Author
Cynthia J. Neville is the George Munro Professor of History at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada. She has published extensively on various aspects of the legal and social history of the Anglo-Scottish border lands in the period 1200-1500 and on the social and cultural encounter between Gaels and Europeans in medieval Scotland. She is the author of Violence, Custom and Law: The Anglo-Scottish Border Lands in the Later Middle Ages (Edinburgh University Press, 1998) and Native Lordship in Medieval Scotland: The Earldoms of Strathearn and Lennox, c.1140-1365 (2005).
Considerable detail ... Well researched ... drawing together under one cover a comprehensive list of all the books and papers relative to English border policy in the Middle Ages.
Neville's study of mechanisms of law in a war-zone and her efforts to place the region in the context of the British Isles add much to the debate on the attitudes of the English crown to the difficult frontiers of its authority.
Especially welcome is Professor Cynthia Neville's thoughtful and ambitious survey of 'violence, custom and law' in England's most continuously violent frontier region ... Cynthia Neville's book owes much of its cogency to her ability to synthesize some very extensive reading as well as her determination to concentrate on what she regards as the essential elements of her story. Here at last is a historian of Anglo-Scottish conflict during the period between the battles of Bannockburn and Flodden who is less interested in war as such than she is in 'law' and 'custom' ... Violence, Custom and Law already deserves to be required reading for modern historians of the territorial frontier as well as medieval students of the Anglo-Scottish Border itself.

Roku announced yesterday a new device to it's lineup, the Roku LT. The Roku LT specs look amazingly similar to the Roku 2 HD. Looking through multiple write-ups on the device the only discernible difference I can find (besides the odd Roku Purple color of the box) is the fact that it may (or may not) contain a microSD card slot. Roku touts that the microSD is only to hold channels and games. Since this device (like the HD) does not have bluetooth (for enabling the control of games) there shouldn't be as much of a concern over the amount storage, thus no need for the microSD slot.
The omission of bluetooth may also mean the IR remote won't have the incessant sleep problem that the bluetooth remotes have. Here's hoping… 🙂
So for omitting the microSD and bluetooth, Roku lowers the price to $49.99. If your looking to use this device for what it was primarily designed for (streaming television) then you won't miss those features and will appreciate having the extra $10.

There are lots of critics of the international development sector, and in many cases, their criticisms are justified. Without a doubt, there are changes, adjustments and improvements that need to be made to strengthen the effectiveness of development programs. Most development experts and experienced aid workers will agree that local ownership and engagement are the keys to long-term sustainability and stability. Yet when talking about local ownership and engagement, most people are talking about governments, communities (where the program will be implemented) and organizations. Recently, I realized there was one group missing from the equation: local employees of international NGOs.
I know many locals who work for international NGOs in Haiti who don't feel qualified to make a real contribution to the organization in which they work. Instead, they often feel disrespected and disenfranchised, comparing their work experience to slavery and prison. I understand why such dramatic comparisons are made, because I've seen firsthand how some local employees are treated by their employers. That's why I firmly believe that an international NGO should be judged in part on how it treats its local employees, and not merely on the fact that it has local employees or more local employees than expats.
I think many international NGOs are simply using local employees as props to generate funding and to support their claims that they're building local capacity. But the truth is, many of these organizations do not properly equip their local employees with the training, resources and mentoring they need to succeed and eventually hold leadership positions within the international development community. If you've ever been to a cluster or similar type meeting, then you know most of the attendees, presenters, etc. are expats, and not Haitians. Much like not involving local governments, communities and organizations in the planning, development and implementation of aid/development initiatives leads to unsustainable, ineffective programs with lackluster outcomes, so does the mistreatment and/or failure to train and develop local staff.
Clearly, some NGOs working in Haiti need to make more of an effort to train, mentor and retain its most promising employees. In so doing, a stronger, more competent workforce will be developed; one that can handle its own country's problems long-term.

April 23 dedication set for new public service center
STANFORD -- Community members, university employees, students and alumni are invited to attend the official opening of the new Haas Center for Public Service from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, April 23, on the Stanford University campus.
The afternoon's festivities will begin with tours of the new 14,000-square-foot, three-story building, which is located across from Owen House, the Haas Center's old home, on Salvatierra Walkway, next to the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.
The dedication ceremony will get under way at 5 p.m. and will feature remarks by Stanford University President Gerhard Casper; John Freidenrich, chairman of the University Board of Trustees; and John Gardner, Miriam and Peter Haas Centennial Professor of Public Service.
Community members, Stanford students and alumni who have been involved with the center's many programs also will speak.
The Haas Center for Public Service, a division of the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Affairs, was established in 1984 as the focal point for local, national and international volunteer efforts on the Stanford campus.
It houses both student organizations and university projects, including the Stanford Volunteer Network, Stanford in Government and the Ravenswood-Stanford Tutoring Program. Haas Center programs place more than 2,000 students annually in community service projects.
The expansion of the Haas Center reflects the growth of interest in public service at Stanford and across the nation. The center began in one room of Owen House and rapidly grew to occupy every closet, nook and hallway.
The cramped conditions of the center's old home not only made it difficult to get things done efficiently, but forced the center to turn away many student organizations looking for a base of operations. Owen House also lacks wheelchair accessibility and a conference room.
The new building will quadruple available office space and create a highly accessible center that brings most of Stanford's service organizations together under one roof.
The additional space has made it possible for the Haas Center to welcome more than 15 new groups to its family, including Volunteers in Asia, which is now housed in the Old Union Clubhouse. The new building also contains several conference rooms, a student lounge and a courtyard.
Funding for the $3.3 million building was provided by the generosity of numerous donors, including the Haas family of San Francisco, after whom the center is named. The sale of interior steps and courtyard bricks engraved with messages from individual donors also helped to cover expenses.
The opening of the new building is part of a two-day celebration of service at Stanford. It will be followed by the 10th annual You Can Make a Difference Conference, "University and Community: Bridging the Gap Between Town and Gown," on Saturday, April 24.
Featured speakers at the day--long conference will include Congresswoman Anna Eshoo and East Palo Alto Mayor Sharifa Wilson. The conference is open to the public. For more information, call (415) 725-2872.

Sometimes you will need the services of a professional electrician to help you with a broad range of tasks that revolve around lights, electricity, and electronic appliances. Other than such tasks, they will help you with the installation of electric appliances and maintenance. These professionals can easily handle issues with electricity and electrical appliances in your home without many problems. Remember that issues that are related to electricity can be fatal. Thus, you should leave them to professionals.
Why hire an electrician
If you think that you do not have a reason to hire a professional as you can follow through manuals, you are about to make a wrong decision. The following are some reasons to consider hiring a reputable electrician.
Understand root cause
Electricians can easily identify the root cause of your electrical problems. When you hire professionals during faults in the electrical connection, you will at once understand the problems you face and not over around looking for the possible areas, which are the reason for the fault.
Trained on their job
No person should claim to be an electrician unless they have the required training. There is a need to undergo different training sessions and pass several exams for them to get licensed.
Do the work well
Although they can detect problems within a few minutes, they can restore the problem as fast as they can. Thus, you can be assured that the work will be done as required without the need of spending money and time doing it yourself in a wrong way.
Protected appliances

This is because professional electricians know important functionalities of different electronic appliances. Thus, they can help protect them in the required manner.
In the long run, you can easily save up on the money. As you carry out electrical repairs at home, professionals ensure you have the best parts and wires to complete the tasks. When you allow people who are not trained to carry out these tasks, it will turn out to be a loss. This is because they do not know the right parts to be used. Instead, they will make you spend over again if there is a problem faced.
When hiring an electrician to ensure you check different things such as qualifications, training, and licensing. It is advisable to hire a company that has many technicians.…

Celebrate National Sewing Month.
I'm a point turner! I'm a lightweight tool that's used to turn points, crease seams and remove basting stitches. Pretty versatile, huh?
How will you use me?
- To turn points: on collars, lapels, pockets, belts, ties, pillows. Trim seams and turn to right side. Use pointed end of tool to gently push corners out. Perfect points!
- To crease seams: use curved edge of tool to open up seam; press. Continue sliding tool down seam and pressing until entire seam is open and flat.
- To remove basting stitches: clip threads at close intervals along stitching. Place pointed end of tool under basting stitches and pull away from fabric to remove threads.
Follow along with us and learn about a new Dritz notion each day in September. Happy National Sewing Month!

Martial Arts and the Autism Spectrumanoadmin
Patterning in martial arts may help reduce stereotypic activity in autism.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (link is external) refers to those who have difficulties with social interactions and communications. Across people there can be a huge variability in presentation of so-called "symptoms," hence the use of "spectrum" in the overall term.
I'm not a big fan of labeling, so now that I've got this out of the way, for the rest of this post we'll just talk about the "autism spectrum" and not "people with," those "disabled" by, etc. It is what it is and lots of people do very well and have great lives. I don't want to diminish them by using even accidentally pejorative language. Instead I want the focus on the potential everyone has.

BLACK PEOPLE ARE experiencing widespread racism and discrimination across the EU and in all areas of life, including employment, education, policing and the criminal justice system.
This is the conclusion of the European Network Against Racism's (ENAR) shadow report on Afrophobia in Europe, the first pan-European qualitative survey on people of African descent and Black Europeans.
Racist political discourse is predominantly framed in the context of anti-immigration and targets migrants that are both black and Muslims. As a result black migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and black Europeans are reportedly suffering an increase in violent hatred and discrimination across all areas of life.
Discrimination in employment is prevalent and barriers are erected at every stage to prevent black people from gaining employment that matches their skills and experience. In the United Kingdom, applicants with an African sounding surname need to send twice as many job applications as those with a white British sounding name to get an interview.
Statistics across EU Member States show that people with an African origin have systematically higher unemployment rates than the national average, which is due in part to racial discrimination. In Finland, unemployment rates are more than three times higher for people of African origin (41.2 per cent) compared to the national average (8.7 per cent).
Black people are particularly exposed to police violence as well as racist violence and abuse from other members of the public. In Sweden, 17per cent of hate crimes targeted black people in 2014 (1,075 in total). There is a lack of trust between black communities and the police which arises from various methods used by the police such as racial profiling and lack of full investigation of racially motivated crimes. Some law enforcement personnel display clearly racist behaviours and the police forces in some member states are described as institutionally racist.
Black pupils experience racism in schools such as racist bullying and biased teaching materials and practice. Teachers' influence and racial discrimination of black pupils can have significant implications on educational attainment and life chances of black people. In the Netherlands, pupils of African descent were under-evaluated by teachers, despite higher scores in the test to determine the level of education pupils may proceed to.
Other examples of discrimination include refusal of health treatment for black people and prejudice shown by health care staff; significant discrimination in the private rental market; and stereotypical images in the media where black people are either depicted as criminals and irregular migrants or as performers.
"There is not a single national or European policy that specifically addresses the racial inequalities and discrimination experienced by Black people", said ENAR chair Sarah Isal.
"Given the overwhelming evidence, this is shocking. We cannot just ignore the lives of the 12 million black people in Europe. This is a wake-up call to the EU and its member states to end structural discrimination against black people."
Isal added: "We need an EU Framework for national strategies to combat Afrophobia and promote the inclusion of people of African descent, with clear targets and indicators."

Theres no other way to describe the last couple of weeks, other than to say that its been a blur.
Birthdays, a kids birthday party that turned into an adult stay-up-too-late-and-drink-too-much party, cakes, Christmas, presents, more alcohol consumed, excess food consumed...
And with all this stuff whizzing past, I kept thinking that the world just needs to slow down a little bit. I needed to stop and take a breather, to stop and just inhale all those sweet experiences just a little bit longer. I wanted to take a step back and take a mental home video of all those lovely moments in time, so that I could replay them in my head in the years to come, and enjoy them all over again when I actually had time to. Instead, I feel like I rushed around and missed most of it.
I took photos of course, but they only give you a tiny glimpse of what was happening at the time. And when you are taking photos of your kids opening their Christmas gifts, you also cant HELP them open their Christmas gifts. So I found myself putting the camera down in order to be more present, more in the moment with them - rather than standing back, being separated from it.
But also, when I think back over the last few weeks, I've caught myself thinking "I wish I'd taken a photo of this or that"... because you lose track of what everyone is doing sometimes. On Christmas day, I turned around and someone had dressed Skye in a princess dressup outfit... When did that happen? I completely missed that, busy doing something else.
You cant be everywhere at once, I know that.
Our last couple of weeks in photos:
Hubbys birthday on the 21st. Along with his standard order of Beef Wellington, he requested Snickers Cupcakes... oh...my...god...
And whats Christmas Eve without a few candles, and a little bit of Christmas light bokeh...
And more bokeh...
See? I've learned a new photography word, and I'm throwing it around like there's no tomorrow.
(Bokeh: In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image)
And then Christmas morning came. And in the excitement and the flurry of activity, I'd forgotten that I'd left my camera on manual focus from my bokeh photos the night before (see how I dropped it in again?) - and lo - all my "gift opening" photos are blurry - bugger!
But trust me, this scooter, this much longed for, often-asked-for, long-dreamed-about scooter, was a big hit. Santa, in his wisdom, decided that it didn't need to be assembled before the big day though, so daddy had to spend a large part of the morning putting toys together. Lucky he's handy like that.
Mum got to cuddle with my little Christmas elf.
My beautiful Christmas princess, with Dutchy the dog. Its like Dorothy and Toto.
And then Christmas was over, so we filled our days languishing at home. Playing outside, enjoying having daddy home, and sticking frangipani's behind our ears.
Then another birthday was upon us - Skye turned into a big 3 year old. Three. Three. I still cant get over it. How did that happen? And it was like, overnight, magically, she turned into this mature child who said "please" and "thank you", who played carefully, kept her clothes clean, and decided to share with her brother.
Ask her how old she is, and she proudly holds up 3 fingers.
Slow down, time, slow down.
Her first play-doh set. And a little handbag containing 3-year-old-treasure: hair clips, and 5 flavoured lip balms. She has inherited her mama's lip balm addiction, already.
Blowing out 3 candles!
And then it was the last day of the year... so we bundled our little loves in the car and headed to a nearby lake. Husband then decided we should do a complete lap of said lake - all 4km of it! Took us an hour, but it was nice to get outside, get some sun on a scorchingly hot day, and walk off some of the Christmas indulgences.
And the reward at the end was a nice big playground, complete with flying fox. My brave little 3 year old threw herself at it, and had a ball. We pretty much had to drag her off it by the end. Guess which new addition the cubby house will have at home this year?
So, happy new year all. Here's to making 2013 the best it can be. Here's to savouring more of those precious moments, for saying YES to the kids more often. Heres to less "cranky-mama", and more "happy-mama". Here's to stressing less, and loving more.
The new year is upon us, I dont know about you, but I'm planning on making each day count.

Finally it's here. After years of research and development, design and innovation, we are proud to introduce you to Chreos – the most innovative and revolutionary electric vehicle designed to date. This website is an in-development site, which will regularly be updated with information, technologies and most of all, images and videos of this beauty. Our presence on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Google+ ensures that whatever social media you utilize, you can follow us real time, receiving updates and news on a daily basis.
A message from the Silex Group CEO:
Johnaton Grech
Johnaton Grech
Silex group of companies has been active in the renewable energy and sustainable development markets for nearly a decade. We felt that the market was missing an electric vehicle that was designed from grounds up to be an electric vehicle. Starting from scratch we designed this ultimate vehicle, at the same time creating a new brand identity that is reflected perfectly in the vehicle's unique design. We believe that we have reached our target to creating a wonderful concept machine, that will over the next months move to prototyping and then to production. Even so, we are far from done with the car. We will be working and updating constantly the car, adding new feature which we will regularly post on this site. We appreciate your feedback and comments, as we believe that they are crucial for our success.

There used to be a commercial on TV where an elderly person, who was home all alone, fell down and was unable to get to the phone to call for help. The tag line became memorable and stuck in a lot of people's heads: "I've fallen and I can't get up". Because it was spoken in an exaggerated and melodramatic way, we used to make fun of that commercial. I don't know how effective it was at selling their product, but the tag line was effective at sticking in our heads.
As much as we would mock the phrase, it is actually an apt description of what happens to us in life. We have our own sin that drags us down. There are attacks from other people that wound our hearts and our spirits. There are hurts that we carry around inside of us for years. Sometimes these things can cripple us and we discover that we can't work through them by ourselves. It's like hitting a brick wall that we can't climb over unless we get some help from somebody else. God wants us to humbly admit our sin, our limitations, and our need for forgiveness and mercy that we cannot manufacture for ourselves. Isaiah 8:14 says "God is both sanctuary and stumbling stone, Yawheh is a rock that brings Israel down, the Lord is a trap and a snare for the people."
Richard Rohr writes about this in his book Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life. He says, "Sooner or later, if you are on any classic 'spiritual schedule', some event, person, death, idea, or relationship will enter your life that you simply cannot deal with, using your present skill set, your acquired knowledge, or your strong willpower. Spiritually speaking you will be, you must be, led to the edge of your own private resources. At that point, you will stumble over a necessary stumbling stone as Isaiah calls it; you will and you must 'lose' at something. This is the only way that God can get you to change, let go of your egocentric preoccupations, and go on the further and longer journey… So we must stumble and fall, I am sorry to say. And that does not mean reading about falling. We must actually be out of the driver's seat for a while, or we will never learn how to give up control to the Real Guide. It is the necessary pattern. It is well dramatized by Paul's fall on the Damascus Road… Almost every one of Odysseus's encounters coming home from Troy are losses of some type – his men, his control, his power, his time, his memory, his fame, the boat itself. Falling, losing, falling, transgression, and sin are the pattern, I am sorry to report. Yet they all lead toward home. In the end, we do not so much reclaim what we have lost as discover a significantly new self in and through the process. Until we are led to the limits of our present game plan, and find it to be insufficient, we will not search out or find the real source, the deep well, or the constantly flowing streams. If we are honest, there always will be at least one situation in our lives that we cannot fix, control, explain, change or even understand. For Jesus and for his followers, the crucifixion became the dramatic symbol of that necessary and absurd stumbling stone. Yet we have no positive theology of such necessary suffering, for the most part."
Part of our journey of becoming disciples of Jesus Christ is experiencing necessary suffering. I think this is a hard concept for many Americans to understand. I think some of us have thought that suffering is not necessary, that suffering is out of the ordinary, or that we have done something wrong if we are suffering. Rohr believes that suffering is an essential part of our human and faith development, and that until we fall down on the Damascus Road like Paul did, we will never go as deep in our relationship with God as He wants us to.
These are issues that we refer to as adaptive challenges – things that are beyond our capabilities that we cannot fix. I think God wants to break down our pride and our ego, shattering the myth that we are self-sufficient and can handle any situation by ourselves. Until we encounter situations that we cannot solve on our own, we may not gain the humility necessary to become like Christ. These are not the kind of success stories that they make movies about. These are the kind of stories that we don't hear unless we are sitting at a kitchen table with one of our church members, and we take the time to hear the narrative of their lives, and how they survived situations they never thought they would make it through. Rohr writes that "When he calls his first disciples, Jesus is talking about further journeys to people who are already happily settled and religiously settled." Could it be that our journey to become like Christ can only go so far until life unsettles us and pushes us outside our comfort zones?
If this is our experience as individuals, do groups of individuals – churches, ministries, and religious organizations – also go through the same dynamics? The formative experience for Israel was the Exodus story. There, as a community of believers, they wandered in the wilderness for forty years. It was not a problem that could be quickly fixed. It was a situation that had to be experienced. God was leading the community of Israel into a new place that they did not know how to handle. Nothing in their lives up to that point in Egypt had prepared them for the new challenges they were facing in the wilderness. There was no quick fix. God was slowly molding their thought processes, their faith, their hearts, their relationships, and their new skill development, to draw them closer to Himself, to grow deeper in their understanding of who they were, and to prepare them for an unknown future. The community was stretched in ways that sometimes hurt and where people did not always treat each other well. But, they learned and experienced God in a new way – a way that would not have been possible if they had not suffered.
Can we reach a point where we will not be embarrassed to say "I've fallen and I can't get up?" Can we become the kind of mature and merciful Christians who are not afraid to say, "I don't know how to deal with this situation? I am not sure what to do. But, I am trying to learn from it and I am embracing my Lord and my Savior in ways that I never have before." That may not sell a lot of movie tickets. But, those are the stories my heart is eager to hear if we can sit around your kitchen table for a little while.

A form of meditation
It has a least three benefits :
1. A top is magnified and will soon be a quilt and will leave its UFO friends. I could have added that it reduces my UFO stack but that would have only been true if I was not adding a new top regularly... but if you're a quilter, you know what I'm talking about, right?
2. The more I handquilt the more regular my stitches are. Besides, you get so used to doing it that it is completely effortless... which brings me to the third point.
3. It is a meditative time to reflect about your life. I don't know you but this fast-pace lifestyle that I really enjoy requires that I take some time out for myself and handquilting gives me this opportunity. When I start a big quilt like the one I am currently handquilting, I feel like it will take forever. But if you quilt it a little bit everyday, break your final goal into smaller ones like finishing quilting a block or a row, without you realizing it you get to the end in "almost" no time. Well, it does take a little time but it is pure bliss. You may even wish you don't finish it so quickly... if you had not that UFO stack waiting, of course ;-)
When I handquilt, I treat myself with an expresso or some tea, depending of the time of the day. I may have some dark chocolate too. I gather my thimbles and create my little handquilting corner. I turn the radio on or put some music, classical, pop, rock depending on my mood and I quilt on.
Every hour, sometime less, I take a little break. If I quilt more than two hours, I take a long break (30 minutes or more) before resuming quilting.
I have said it many times in this blog, but I think that a top really comes alive when it is quilted. And choosing how to quilt it is part of the fun.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Until later,

Tout est dit ! Acquérir une bonne technique permet ensuite d'arriver à cette joie paisible d'avancer son quilting, éventuellement de penser au prochain motif et se laisser porter par ce que j'ai choisi d'écouter (comme toi, inspirations très variées). Je pense que, comme en méditation, notre rythme cardiaque devient très régulier, cela fait du bien...ReplyDelete
Les quilteuses de Colomiers qui ont participé à ce stage sont toutes ravies également !
Absolutely TRUE ! And I would add that a top really comes alive when it's HAND quilted. It's so much smoother than a machine quilted one, that feels so stiff.ReplyDelete
It takes time and discipline, but every stitch is worth it, and the meditation that comes within makes it a treasure :)
in stitches,Replies
The first time I put needle to thread in hand quilting, I felt like I had come home. I'm 73, have been making my own clothes from the age of 12, and discovered the total joy of quilting 20 years ago. I dress in tatters, but my quilts are my glory! Great blog.Delete
I agree Nadine. I prefer hand quilting too. Though I found some machine quilting really stunning I always think that it would be even more beautiful with hand quilting. I suppose there is no need to compare. I think it's a different art.Delete
Love this Patricia... keep making glorious quilt ;-)Delete
well said! happy sunday!ReplyDelete
A true ode to the art of quilting.ReplyDelete
Hello david.ReplyDelete
I completely agree with you, quilting is very relaxing, plus you're seeing your work really more beautiful.
It must be a luxury to live with a person like you.
A greeting.
Un post qui traduit tout à fait l'état d'esprit dans lequel je suis lorsque je quilt.....ReplyDelete
Je vois tu es entrain de quilter le quilt mystère n°2 de Born To Quilt.... Cela va être encore une belle leçon de quilter de moi.... Et oui je voulais te remercier, grâce à tes post sur le quilting main et les petits tuyaux que tu m'as donné lorsque je t'ai posé des questions m'ont fait avancer dans cet art.... Et pour moi c'est un vrai moment de détente.... Merci beaucoup David.
Bon et doux dimanche à quilter.Replies
Avec grand plaisir. Il était temps que je le quitte ce top, n'est-ce pas?Delete
David j'ai une petite question, lorsque tu vas pour faire tes traçages avant de quilter..... Traces tu ton quilt en entier ou bien fais tu au fur et à mesure de ton avancée????Delete
Car j'ai tendance à tracer entièrement mon quilt avant de commencer et à chaque fois il faut que je retrace car cela s'efface avec le temps.....
Merci de m'éclairer hihihi!!!!
Bonne journée à toi et MP.
Je trace au fur et à mesure, jamais la totalité du quilt. Je veille aussi à l'équilibre de densité du quilting :-)Delete
Merci beaucoup David pour ta réponse. Je commence à quilter un encours qui est sur ma pile depuis au moins 4 ans et du coup, je vais faire comme tu m'as conseillé...Delete
Hi David - your quilts are really magnificent! I enjoy reading your blog, it is really unusual to see a man who can make such gourgeous quilts!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. But the designs are from designers, I am only responsible for the choice of fabric and stitching them ;-) Yes, it is unusual, but there are other male quilters around the world.Delete
David, I do admire your work and your quilts! I think there should be more men in this world who can quilt, stitch, knit, etc. Have a great time quilting!Delete
I am happy to see your blog entries again. You are inspiring me to try my hand at hand quilting. And I am tempted to order the needle glider from Esther Miller as well.ReplyDelete
Have a wonderful week
Interesting post, David! I prefer too, as well as you, hand quilting.))) Indeed, I am a novice in quilting, and while sewed together not a single blanket, mainly it is shallow works. But I study.)))ReplyDelete
I read somewhere that the quilt never worked on never gets finished. Need to remember that and get on with it, the stack is getting bigger.ReplyDelete
When I read and enjoy and see the little stiches and the fabrics on the foto...ReplyDelete
My little 365(366) houses are
calling me so loud ; 0)
Thanks for sharing :0))
365 little houses!! Wow... I am heading to your blog right now to see them ;-)ReplyDelete
What a great description of loving handquilting. I think it is so right to take it bit by bit...a whole quilt to hand stitch seems overwhelming. Thanks for this post and Continued Happy Stitching.ReplyDelete
Hi David,ReplyDelete
I was re-reading your blog a little and somehow I missed this post. When looking at your quilting stuff I presume you took classes with Esther or one of her students (I recognize the specific quilt thimble of Esther :-)?
I also took a class in Holland with Alexia Rossfelder. It's a great hand quilting technique! :-)
Have fun with your other projects!

All quotes from I Wrote This For You
Understand that, the prisons you've built are of your own design.
Understand that, you should be the person you wanted to be when you woke up this morning.
Understand that, the world desperately wants to love you, if you'll let it.
Understand that, you deserve that love, even if you don't feel like it.
Understand that, love can hit a planet like a comet.
Understand that, the rain can unrain, if you want it to.
On other planets, they look up and wish upon you.
Because on other planets, you live on a star.
They'll tell you that you're the ground. Remember that you hold up the sky.
Don't settle for someone who doesn't give you things to say. Forever is a long time to make small talk.
When you can, let me know how long you're willing to miss me for.
I just wish you still made me nervous.
This one is about how music gets ruined by the people you're no longer with.
I keep thinking you already know. I keep thinking I've sent you letters that were only ever written in my mind.
Should any child be reading this in a history book, you should know that we loved. I hope that hasn't changed.
Today happened because you're here. The days seem to leave when you do.
If you think I can tell you what's going on inside my heart, you know even less about it than you think.
You die when you stop feeling. I will live forever.
And maybe something's missing in your mind. Maybe you don't work the same way everyone else does. Maybe you're just different. That would be good news.
When I am more than you can take, just give me back.
The world you love spins so fast, all I can do is throw words at it. And hope they become pictures.
You reach a certain age where you learn how to walk through a crowded party without stepping on anyone's feet. You reach a certain age where you learn how to wear the skin you've been given. You reach a certain age where you can look at your relationships to other people completely objectively. Apparently.
Nothing is faster than the speed of thought. I can look at anything and think of you.
I do not know how it ends. Just that I miss you, right before it does.

I just had to share with you Mark Steyn's brilliant insight into the economic nature of Islamic conquest:
The jizya is the poll tax paid by non-Muslims to their Muslim betters. One cause of the lack of economic innovation in the Islamic world is that they've always placed the main funding burden of society on infidels. This goes back to Mohammed's day. If you take a bunch of warring Arab tribes and unite them as one umma under Allah, one drawback is that you close off a prime source of revenue — fighting each other and then stealing each other's stuff. That's why the Prophet, while hardly in a position to deny Islam to those who wished to sign up, was relatively relaxed about the presence of non-Muslim peoples within Muslim lands: they were a revenue stream. If one looks at the comparative dissemination patterns, Christianity spread by acquiring believers and then land; Islam spread by acquiring land and then believers. When Islam conquered infidel territory, it set in motion a massive transfer of wealth, enacting punitive taxation to transfer money from non-believers to Muslims — or from the productive part of the economy to the non-productive. It was, in its way, a prototype welfare society. When admirers talk up Islam and the great innovations and rich culture of its heyday, they forget that even at its height Muslims were never more than a minority of the Muslim world, and they were in large part living off the energy of others. That's still a useful rule of thumb: if you take the least worst Muslim societies, the reason for the dynamism often lies with whichever group they share the turf with — the Chinese in Malaysia, for example.
Mark Steyn, America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It, p. 164.
Of course, Steyn doesn't end with that factual observation. There are a few things that flow from it: first, the minions paing jizya wise up and either leave Arab countries or themselves convert to Islam, leaving the economy utterly lifeless. Second, it creates in Islam an endless craving for conquest, because that's the only way to revitalize a moribund economy. And, third, Steyn also points out that the endless subsidies flowing into Muslim countries from the West (whether Western, including Israeli, payments to the Palestinians; or weapons subsidies to Saudis and Egyptians) are all seen as the Muslims' due and, in their collective minds, are converted into appropriate payments of subservient religions to the master race.

From the start, it was apparent that Microsoft's Rick Engle wasn't going to be making any new announcements. Engle was involved in Windows CE at one point in his career with Microsoft, but now he works with the company's Federal division. It was also clear that the audience wasn't the most receptive group of people, regardless of his well-engineered PowerPoint slideshow. Open snorts could be heard when he spoke of Microsoft's "support" of open standards like Kerberos. One attendee demanded to know why Microsoft insisted on bringing the desktop metaphor to wearable computing, where screen real estate is scarce. His answer said tons to the audience, too:
"A soldier running through a minefield" might need a more efficient interface, but a consumer, by extension, simply doesn't. A low murmur moved through the audience. If Microsoft's claims to being the Great Innovator are to be believed, where does "Good enough for the likes of you?" fit into the picture? Or maybe it was the hungry rumble of a roomfull of people who've lived their careers with one eye over their shoulders, waiting for the 800-pound gorilla from Redmond to move in; a roomfull of people who have just realized it may be open season on the big ape. Few seemed to believe the desktop is the last word in interfaces, especially in the small dimensions of the wearable computer.
Professor Mann, on the other hand, didn't have much of a slideshow. Instead of slides, he used glynx to browse his website with the audience, demonstrating the sort of recall he had available in a small screen you wouldn't have noticed if he hadn't had to make a last-minute repair with the ever-present electrical tape. He also provided a real-time feed of his view of the world as seen through a portable cam on the projector screen. In the proud tradition of academics everywhere, the camera mostly seemed to hover on his hands, feet, and glass of juice. From time to time, the feed would cut out and a transparent xclock would hover over a 20-column xterm with "bash$" scrolling every time he'd nudge the return key on his Twiddler, which happened with nervous frequency.

Many legal documents require a Notary to serve as an impartial third party so that a document can be signed in the absence of both parties involved.
The Twinsburg Public Library provides free Notary services. We typically have Notaries available during normal business hours, but we do not guarantee that a Notary will be on staff at all hours. Please call us at (330) 425-4268 ext. 4 to verify if a Notary will be present. Appointments are strongly recommended.
In order to have a document notarized, you will need to produce a valid photo ID that includes a physical description, such as a driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID.
Notaries adhere to the Ohio Revised Code; Section 147
Although we do not require appointments for documents that are less than 5 pages, an appointment is the best way to guarantee service at a time that is convenient for you. We do require appointments for documents that exceed 5 pages. A Notary is not always available during all business hours. Please call (330) 425-4268 ext. 4 to request an appointment.
Documents We Will Not Notarize

NOTE: In the State of Ohio, we cannot certify documents. We will not certify copies of birth certificates, marriages, death certificates, divorce, or naturalization certificates.
Special Note on Foreign Passport Renewals
Due to the amount of time needed to complete notarial acts for Foreign Passport renewals, we REQUIRE appointments—no exceptions.
Before you come to your appointment:
The State of Ohio does not allow Notary Publics to certify vital records and documents. Vital records include, but are not limited, to passports, marriage certificates and birth certificates.
Instead, Notary Publics can notarize a statement by the individual that the photocopy is indeed a copy of the original document.
What does this mean?
We cannot certify documents. We can only notarize signatures.
What should I do?
If you choose to have your statement notarized, write the following on the photocopy or attached page:
I, (your name), attest that this is a true and exact copy of the original document, which is a (type of document, such as a passport), made on (the date you copied it).
Do not sign the document until you are in the presence of a notary. Please bring the original documents with you to the appointment, as the Notary must be able to inspect it.
How much time does it take?
Typically, Foreign Passport Renewals take 45 minutes to an hour to complete. Please allow this much time.

Bollywood superstar and Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan has donated Rs one crore for the victims of Chennai flood.
According to sources, Shah Rukh, who will be seen with Kajol in his upcoming film 'Dilwale', has contributed the sum to the Chief Minister's Public Relief Fund.
In the wake of Chennai floods, many Indian actors such as Rana Daggubati of 'Bahubali' fame, and sports persons such as Saina Nehwal and Dipika Pallikal, have come forward to help the flood victims.
About 280 people have died so far across Tamil Nadu since torrential rains on December 1 submerged tracts of Chennai and caused havoc and devastation.

The narrator also seems to be ignorant of the fact that the Allies bombed France, and therefore he finds it incomprehensible that Django Reinhardt in Paris worried about bombing.
Swing Time for Hitler
Brian X. Morton
Examining issues relating to the origin, theory, history, and application of national-socialism and national-socialist ideas.
On BBC Radio 4 this photograph was discussed. "This officer, Luftwaffe Oberleutenant Dietrich Schultz-Koehn, was a jazz fan and protected the band when jazz was banned and not only Jews but Gypsies like Django were being deported"
Jesus, they're only human. No matter how much the Feuhrer hated Jazz, a lot of the younger soldiers were going to love it. If an official policy of suppressing jazz existed, and jazz most certainly wasn't approved of in Berlin, it clearly wasn't too strongly enforced. Why break your own troops' morale by shutting the clubs down that they enjoyed and deporting their favourite musicos?

Dance, Misery
Author:Colin Morton
64 pages
$16.95 Cdn
"Morton's sixth book, a poem in six parts, coolly and eloquently ruffles our complacency as he examines the burdens of peace, our penchant for self-doubt and self-deception, and our shifting definitions of heroism … Where there is inhumanity – from senseless war, self-aggrandizement or distorted values – there is also resilience and renewal. Ultimately, walls come down. New neighbours extend the hand of friendship. There is always someone ready to dance to the music. Twice winner of The Archibald Lampman Award for Poetry, Morton muses without moralizing: a thinker's poet with grace and expertise. Read and savour."

A Delicious Weekend
Besides that face! I just want to bite her little cheeks...
She helped me make this peanut butter chocolate pie:
And of course it had to be done in her ballerina outfit...
And then we made a cheesecake! A pumpkin caramel cheesecake:
This is a recipe I came up with after combining several similar recipes and the secret weapon:
Pumpkin Butterscotch-Caramel Cheesecake
-Three 8-ounce bars of softened cream cheese (I always use Philadelphia)
-1 package Oreo cookies
-1/4 cup plus 1/2 cup softened butter
-1 jar Mrs Richardsons butterscotch caramel topping (or something similar, but that's my favorite)
-3 eggs at room temperature
-1 cup sugar
-1/2 can pumpkin (I think they're around 15 ounces usually)
-1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
-1/2 cup heavy cream
-pumpkin pie spice
1. Dump the oreos into a mixer (not a hand-held one!) or a food processor and turn them into crumbs. Melt the 1/4 cup butter and mix it in. Lightly spray the springform pan (I used a 12-inch) and press the buttery crumbs on the bottom and a little up the sides.
2. Mix the 1/2 cup butter with the cream cheese. Add sugar, pumpkin, spice, and half of the jar of caramel, mix. Scrape the bowl and beater and mix again just until all the clumps are mixed in. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly. There are a lot of tips about how to mix cheesecakes properly so there are no air bubbles and the top won't crack during baking. I never really care because I always dump chocolate over the top of mine anyway!
3. Pour the batter into the crust and bake for an hour and a half on 325 degrees. I also do a sort-of water bath by putting a big pan of hot water on the bottom oven rack and keeping the cheesecake on the top rack. I've always had a hard time making a water bath with the cheesecake directly in it because water always leaks in no matter what I do! Oh well, I've never noticed a difference in taste.
4. When the sides are pulling away and the middle is still a tad jiggly, turn the oven off and leave the cake in the oven with the door open for another hour. Then lay plastic wrap directly on the top and stick it in the fridge overnight.
5. To make the chocolate topping, stir the chocolate chips and cream together in a glass bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave 30 seconds more. Mix with a fork until all the chocolate is melted and smooth. Let it cool for a few minutes, then dump it on top of the cheesecake. I also poured the rest of the caramel jar around the edges.
6. Lick all spoons and mixing bowls involved.
I also saw a recipe for a chai cheesecake somewhere that I'd love to try!

Concept Flashback – 1979 Aston Martin Bulldog vs 2014 Aston Martin DP-100 Vision GranTurismo
Aston took its future vision and threw it into fast-forward by the mid-1970s and early 1980s. The model range at the time was a mix of the Vantage and the Lagonda sedan – one looking and feeling like it was frozen in 1969, the other, 1999.
So one very antiquated, and one ahead of its time.
The 1980 Bulldog concept was ostensibly a range-topper; something to leapfrog the competition and bring the Vantage and supercar customer base into a bold and futuristic new decade.
Alas, the ambition was not matched by the right mix of sales and revenues to keep the dream of two ultra-modern cars alive. The Lagonda itself was a backbreaking investment for the company, and its overall market slump was a major drain on the small firm's resources.
Aston has never attempted another mid-engine car since.
Until this year.
The Vision Gran Turismo DP-100 is a step back toward the R&D abyss.
But luckily, the DP-100 concept is mostly a digital endeavor. While a physical model of the car exists, it is (hopefully) not sucking out Aston's finances like the Bulldog production engineering attempt did in the 1980s.

For me, it's running VC. God damn I love me some VC. I'm actually leaning towards Alliance solely because I'll get to run VC a bunch. I barely raided when I played vanilla, as I was 13 or so at the time. Didn't have the discipline. But I ran the lower level dungeons so much, and it was always so much fun. I really disliked WC, looking back, and having run it recently on private servers, I still don't like it.
Spending 10 minutes deciding on what talent to take next.
Quiet moments exploring aimlessly for the fun of it.
Getting a quest reward that really benefits my toon.
Meeting awesome people from organic encounters.
Reading quest text.
Honestly, what I'm looking forward to the most is being back in a true MMORPG environment. Having things like skill trees, leveling slowly while exploring new areas, not being able to simply queue up for stuff I want to do but manually form the group and physically go to the location. Having to earn skills again and learn them from trainers (such as finding your "totems" in the world for shamans).
I didn't play too much of vanilla (didn't reach the level cap before TBC hit), but it just seems to me like so many RPGs these days are trying to be something they're not. Most don't even have skill trees or specializations anymore, and you just sit in town and queue up for anything you want to do. That and leveling to the max can either be bought, or it is so easy to level to the cap. Nothing prestigious about seeing a high level character walking by anymore.
Totally agree. Playing in the actual world was everything. My son and I played two Beta accounts in 2004 just prior to release (he was 10!), and had a blast. Then we watched as WoW devolved into a non-game that we grew to despise. Did not play after WotLK except to dabble and complain about how much we hated it.
I know, I sound like a complainer, but the fact is they promised a RvR game at the outset, I completely remember that, and they actually delivered pretty well for a couple of years. Then, it all changed...
This ^ So much this.Brokenshield wrote: ↑4 months agoNothing prestigious about seeing a high level character walking by anymore.
The slow rate of progress made achieving max level a lot more satisfying. Seeing grand marshal was even more jawdropping
I'm looking forward to reading the quest texts without using any quest helper, exploring every single corner of the maps, every little flavour the world has to offer. I wanna do every single dungeon and even every single quest in it, even those that are not worth the trouble. I just wanna appreciate all the love that has been put into this old and imperfect, yet amazing game.
This thing, actually, turns into something special - asking for directions and help in the general chat, getting an answer, chatting with random people along the way and eventually completing a few quests together. This is a true classic experience which is long lost today.

Difference between revisions of "Cordoba (province, Spain)"
Revision as of 22:54, 12 October 2011
Cordoba is a province in the region of Andalucia in Spain.
Other destinations
Get in
Stay at Casa La Celada [1] for a lovely B&B Guest House experience - 5 mins drive from the Lake in a small satellite village just outside Iznájar called La Celada. Excellent value for money with hosts who have extensive knowledge about local activities.
Get around
Iznájar. Just over one hour's drive from Córdoba, Granada and Málaga cities lies the village of Iznájar, the most southerly village of the Sierra Subbética mountain range, last known home to the Iberian Lynx.
Iznájar is an extremely popular tourist village due to it being on the edge of the Embalse de Iznájar - a 999,000 hectolitre manmade lake that permits fishing and water sports including sailing and kayaking throughout the year.
The village is worth visiting all year round, although has special Fiestas including Semana Santa (Easter Holy Week) and around 7th-9th of September there are huge processions in honour of the Virgin of Piety. More than 250,000 people come to witness this incredibly moving event.
There are many places to stay from Luxury B&Bs to Self Catering Holiday Houses to Hotels, Hostels and Pensions.
