The Psalms deal with reflection, with woundedness, with fears, with doubts, with struggles, and with worship. They are both poetry and prayer, laments and love songs. All of them are an honest opening of the heart to God. Many are uncomfortable with that. As Walter Brueggemann wrote in his book Spirituality of the Psalms, "We have believed that faith does not mean to aknowledge and embrace negativity." The Psalms burst that wide open. Many confront us at our weakest, our darkest, our loneliest, our most frightened. But we need to face this just as much as we do the joy and the success. Brueggemann also writes, "The dominant ideology of our culture is committed to continuity and success to the avoidance of pain, hurt, and loss." The Psalms shows that we cannot be whole, cannot be healed, unless we deal with both. That's also why the Psalms can give us such comfort when we are in the midst of trials and hurts that cannot be dismissed by offering someone a mere encouraging word or a cheap platitude.
What the Psalms do not do is sugarcoat or gloss over any of reality. When Christ cries out from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" he is crying out from the Psalter (Psalm 22 to be exact). It doesn't get any more raw and real than that moment. Was there a greater, more heartwrenching sorrow in all of history?
And the Psalms have been a great source of consolation for those who are in the depths of the pit, who are struggling with depression, who are watching a loved one die, who are seeing their marriage crumble because they give voice to the wrenching of our hearts by our circumstances. The Psalms go beyond the surface to where we are most wounded. During these times, we will find recognition, wisdom, and healing. Oftentimes, the Psalms give us hope during the heartbreak. It reminds us that, despite our circumstances, God is still in control.
In 1983, on their album War, U2 recorded their version of the fortieth Psalm entitled "40 (How Long)." When asked why he did this, Bono described the Psalms as "honest language with God." He went on to say, "What's so powerful about the Psalms are, as well as they're being good gospel and songs of praise, they are also the blues. It's very important for Christians to be honest with God, which often, you know, God is much more interested in who you are than who you want to be."
Yes, the Psalms not only portray where life occurs, raw and ragged, but, more importantly they show that even in the depths, one must cry out, even question, but, ultimately, praise God. They show triumph and despair, longing and loss, loneliness and love, gladness and sorrow. The gamut of human experience is there and God approves, even going so far as to call David, who wrote many of the psalms, a "man after His own heart." In his book Reflections of the Psalms, C.S. Lewis wrote, "The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance."
How many of us come to the Psalms with that same sense of delight and joy and pure worship that made David dance in exultation of God?
Do we feel the same delight a young child would upon entering Toys R Us?
Just read Psalm 145 and read those words as a song of celebration:
I will exalt you, my God and King,
and praise your name forever and ever.
I will praise you every day;
yes, I will praise you forever.
This was David's favorite Psalm. It was a psalm of adoration and praise. It was the last one he wrote and he dwells on God's goodness, mercy, and compassion. This one was a call to worship.
As singer/songwriter Sandra McCracken said, "The Psalms . . . point more personally and intimately than other books in the scripture to who we are and who God is." That is why they are not only great ways to worship God in song, but also they are great for praying.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, "The only way to understand the Psalms is on your knees, the whole congregation praying the words of the Psalms with all its strength." Bonhoeffer believed that to pray the Psalms was a way to "recover the meaning of prayer." He even calls the Psalms the "prayerbook of the Church."
Eugene Peterson said that the Psalms "get us praying when we don't feel like it, and they train us in prayers that are honest and right." The Psalms give us the words to pray when we cannot find the words. I know there have been times in my own life where the Psalms were the only prayers I could muster as my own words would not come. During those times, just like David, I could call out, "Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy" (Psalm 86).
Thomas Merton said that the Psalms "enable us to surrender ourselves to God." As Psalm 37:7 tells us, "Surrender yourself to the Lord, and wait patiently for him" Surrender in Hebrew means to be delivered up, to be present, so that we can be encompassed by God, like a shield. When we surrender ourselves to Him, God surrenders Himself and embraces us. This surrender brings us into deeper intimacy with God. The Psalms can help usher ourselves into that moment of surrender. Only in our surrender will we know real strength.
I love what Sandra McCracken said, "The Psalms are by nature invitational." This means that they draw us in. They invite us. And in their invitation, they pierce our hearts with their honesty and lift our souls by their desire to praise an infinitely loving God.
It is the one book of the Bible that I read a chapter of every day and, when I reach the last one, I go back and start the book over again. They reach a place in me that no other in scripture does. As Merton stated so rightly, that when we realize just who God is and how much He loves us, " . . . the only possible reaction is a cry of half-articulate exultation that bursts from the depths of our being in amazement at the tremendous, inexplicable goodness of God to men. The Psalms are made up of such cries . . ."
Is it any wonder then that I love and return to this book again and again with such fervent passion?

When Singleton Bulls stalwart Matt 'Staffy' Staff runs onto the ground this Saturday afternoon he will be achieving a rare club landmark – his 400th game.
Matt is only the third player after Gary Buckton and Shane Thompson to reach such a significant milestone for the Bulls.
His 400th game will be in second grade against Singleton Army at the army camp ground with the kick-off at 12:20pm.
The club is hoping there are plenty of his team mates past and present at the base for the big event with their voices ready to cheer on Matt.
A former soccer player Matt began his rugby career after a momentous night out at the Royal Hotel. In 1996 he was asked to play Colts to make up the numbers and headed to the wing but as fortune would have it the team never eventuated and Matt joined third grade for the season under Rick Parker, Shane Reagan and Phil Jones as manager.
It was a pretty good begging for Matt as the the team would make the semi-finals.
Once he was hooked on rugby his great mates David Foster, Phil Hetherington and Todd Furness would join the club and would go on to play third and fourth grade together under the 'great' Greg Sonter.
In 2001 Matt played his 100th club game and from a start on the wing he had now moved to the front row. He was now playing second grade hooker.
Impressively during his first 100 games Matt never received a yellow card but on the actual game day he received two. First up he was binned for fighting.
It was in his debut for first grade that Matt received his second yellow card and then this playing style became a bit of a pattern over the next decade.
Much celebrating took place in 2007 when Matt notched up with 200th game for the club and also his first Premiership with a hard fought win to the Bulls third grade team 13-10 versus Pokolbin.
Five years later and Matt was playing his 300th game a feat he shared with his great mate Ashton Partridge when they played in second grade against Southern Beaches. The 2015 season saw Matt play his 350th game for the club and along with 'Ashto' Partridge was conferred life membership of the Singleton Rugby Club for this feat.
Matt thanked everyone involved with the club adding without volunteers and hard work from many people the Singleton Rugby Club wouldn't be what it is today.

It should have been a mere formality. Yesterday, the Republicans in the House of Representatives introduced their bill to establish the rules by which the 115th Congress will operate in the lower chamber.
These rules were designed by the Republican House leadership. They were crafted in order to benefit the political maneuvering of the Republicans. So, one would have expected the legislation to have received the unanimous support from Republican members of the House.
That's not what happened. Three Republican members of Congress rebelled against the leadership of their own political party, and voted against passage of the rules.
The rebellious Republicans in the U.S. House were Justin Amash, Walter Jones, and Thomas Massie.
Does their defiance signal a larger split within the Republican Congress? Wait and see.

One good turn deserves another... it must be the South Yorkshire motto.
Star readers have dug deep into their purses and pockets and rallied to help heart-of-gold Ecclesfield pensioner Gloria Stewart.
For the fourth year running disabled Gloria, aged 62, is throwing a Christmas lunch for Sheffielders otherwise destined to spend the festive season alone.
It's a day that underlines the true meaning of festive goodwill. But the recession had threatened to mar tomorrow's event for up to 280 at Owlerton Stadium.
Gloria, who raises the money herself, was almost £2,500 short and vowing to dig into her own pocket.
But since Star readers heard what Gloria was planning to do, almost £1,000 has been given.
Donations have ranged from those of elderly people and children giving what they can, to two generous local businesses. Law firm Irwin Mitchell donated £200 and the Skipton Building Society's Sheffield office £325. In addition, Skipton staff have forsaken their National Lottery tickets this week – they want to spend the money on wine for Gloria's guests.
"I am overwhelmed," said Gloria, who was left disabled after three bouts of cancer and a stroke. "I know how tight money is for so many people right now."
There is still a shortfall, but the thrifty grandma thinks she can bridge the gap.
"I've been shopping around for bargains to eke the money out and I'm very happy to put the rest in myself. I wouldn't want to be a drain on the public," she insisted.
"The Home Alone lunch is so important. There are so many people for whom Christmas is just another day, spent with no-one to talk to. The sad stories I've heard from some of the guests would break your heart," she added.
Tomorrow, cabbies at City Taxis will be collecting Gloria's guests free of charge, staff at Owlerton greyhound stadium will be cooking and serving a three-course Christmas lunch and the loyal band of volunteers Gloria has amassed over the years will be ensuring everyone has someone to chat to.
If you know someone lonely who would like to join in, call Gloria on 0114 257 0460 – a small number of places are still available.
To donate for this year or next, send a cheque with your name and address to 'Home Alone Christmas Lunch' to: Gloria Stewart, 28 Orchard Close, Ecclesfield, S5 9GT.

For the past several weeks I have been observing the ridiculousness from Metallica and their management. I previously wrote about the issues with Mission:Metallica in my previous blog post with a similar title. I mentioned before that I have been a tremendous fan of the band ever since I was a kid, and some ways I still am. After reading about the recent events, I felt compelled to write about what has occurred since my last post and what it might mean for the band. Let's recap the silliness though:
- May 12: Metallica announces the launch of Mission:Metallica
- May 28: Metallica sort of repents according to Wired's Listening Post by offering pseudo web 2.0 website, but forces fans to subscribe in order to get all the fun stuff
- June 5: The Quietus and other bloggers post pre-review after being invited to a listening session to hear early mixes of six tracks
- June 6: The Blinded by Hype blog reports that Metallica requests that pre-reviews were taken down
- June 7- 11: Bloggers give Metallica a "new one" with reaction to the reviews being removed, including The Quietus. Mashable probably had the best title: "Metallica smokes themselves retarded." Here are some other good posts where fans weighed in: CNet's The Digital Home, and Sputnik Music
- June 11: Metallica posts a statement on their website responding to all the blogosphere rants and provide links to The Quietus, Kerrang and Metal Hammer original reviews that were taken down.
- June 12: Bloggers claim Metallica "ear spanks" their management as suggested by ars technica.
- June 14: I learned through Blabbermouth that Metallica releases new album name: Death Magnetic.
After all is said and done, it's impossible to predict exactly how this episode of retardation will effect album sales or the buzz that leads up to its release. I suppose the good thing we have learned is at least Metallica is paying attention to the blogosphere. Either it's that or it was some elaborate attempt to keep attention. I don't know if we will ever know, but if it was a stunt, I think it's safe to call this a PR disaster. I still think Mission:Metallica is a joke. If there is any ONE thing about this entire ordeal that is postive, at least the reviews of the Death Magnetic are mostly positive. The reviews give me hope that Metallica has returned to their respectable early sound.
Do I still think Metallica doesn't get it? You bet! Why? Well, somebody made a tremendous error through all of this. The fact is Metallica had a tremendous opportunity and they REALLY screwed it up. On top of the whole RIAA episode, this just signifies that the band still doesn't have a respect for their fan base, nor do they understand the power of the web. At least they had enough of a realization to "wake up" and recognize their error by reposting the reviews. The only time we will really know if people have forgiven the band is when the album is actually released.
I still don't know if I will purchase the album, but at least I have the dependable albums, like Master of Puppets, to entertain myself with.

Using the front cover and opening lines of your Book Club Selection as your two guides, write what you think will be, or should be, the first chapter of the novel.
Even though you may not know what will happen in the first chapter, or even the second paragraph of the first chapter, you are making a prediction—and predictions can be wrong. But, whether you are right or whether you are wrong, making predictions is a strategy that skilled readers use to keep themselves engaged in what they are reading. And, it is a skill that you are going to further develop with this activity.
For this assignment, you will become the author, so do your best to mimic the author's writing style. The rewritten chapter should be approximately 150-200 words in length (excluding the opening lines of text).
"Friday, January 4, 1935:
Today I moved to a twelve-acre rock covered with cement, topped with bird turd and surrounded by water."
"I clasp the flask between my hands even though the warmth from the tea has long since leached into the frozen air. My muscles are clenched tight against the cold. If a pack of wild dogs were to appear at this moment, the odds of scaling a tree before they attacked are not in my favor."
First of all, let me get something straight: This is a JOURNAL, not a diary. I know what it says on the cover, but when Mom went out to buy this thing I SPECIFICALLY told her to get one that didn't say 'diary' on it. Great. All I need is for some jerk to catch me carrying this book around and get the wrong idea."
"Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advise is: close this book right now. Believe whatever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life."
"The early summer sky was the color of cat vomit. Of course, Tally thought, you'd have to feed your cat only salmon-flavored cat food for a while, to get the pinks right. The scudding clouds did look a bity fishy, rippled into scales by a high-altitude wind."

Two of my favorite chemicals are coffee and tea. There is so much chemistry going on behind the scenes of a nice hot cup of tea or coffee.
Today, I want to talk more about the scientific reasons tea is good for you!
Winter is the perfect season to up your tea consumption (try one of these awesome winter teas)! It is cold outside and tea is a natural, healthy option to warm you up.
Pin This to Save All the Scientific Reasons Tea is Good for You!
First, where exactly does tea come from?
Aside from herbal teas, which can be infused with almost anything, there are four main types of tea: green tea, white tea, black tea, and oolong tea. These teas come from a plant called Camellia sinensis. Depending on how the tea leaves are processed, you will get different tea forms.
If you are wondering about Rooibos tea, that comes from a different plant. It is a great option for different flavor infusions, but not technically a traditional tea since it doesn't come from a tea plant.
There is so much interesting detail that goes into harvesting tea, oxidizing the leaves, and creating the tea we all love to drink.
Today, I will just be focusing on the scientific reasons tea is good for you including all the chemical benefits since that is what we do on Chemistry Cachet 🙂
The Main Chemicals Found in Tea
There are a few chemicals that fall under this category. Caffeine is an abundant methyxanthine in tea. Theobromine and theophylline are also in this category, although much less. Theobromine being the smallest amount.
Do you remember this post we did way back about reasons why dogs can't have chocolate? I mentioned the name theobromine in there. This is found in chocolate too! Dogs cannot break down this chemical which is why they can't eat chocolate.
This is also found in tea (as well as coffee in small amounts).
Are there health benefits of methylxanthines?
Scientifically, these chemicals are known to be relaxants. In fact, theophylline is known to be a good treatment for asthma and respiratory diseases since it can open air ways. Which is also why when you are sick with a sore throat or congestion, tea makes you feel better almost instantly.
Polyphenols have gotten popular the last few years as far as the terminology. They are found in many plant based foods, including tea. They have been known to fight cancer cells, combat inflammation, protect skin against UV rays, promote healthy blood pressure, and even help with the aging of skin.
The main polyphenols found in tea include catechins, theaflavins, flavonoids, and tannins.
Try this ultimate fat burning, anti-inflammatory tea and collagen drink (which I always drink with a straw)!
Amino Acids
Amino acids come from the tea leaf itself and are the building blocks of life. Their benefits are endless! Everything from building a stronger immune system, better skin, to building muscles and fighting cancer.
The most common amino acids found in tea include: Arginine, L-Theanine, Aminoglutaric acid, and Asparaginic acid.
White is better: black, green, oolong or white tea?
All these teas come from the same plant. They are all processed differently which affects the nutritional aspect.
Black tea leaves are fermented which gives the dark color and results in more caffeine. Oolong is like black tea although just partially fermented. Green tea leaves are just dried or steamed, keeping the green color. White tea is made from new buds or the young leaves of the plant. These leaves are steamed, then dried.
White tea has a much milder flavor compared to the other two.
Most of my scientific research shows green tea and white tea to be the highest in catechins which is a group of antioxidants. Catechins have been proven to help with blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.
They have also been scientifically tested to be more powerful than many minerals and vitamins. Per this article from the Harvard Health Publications, green tea is one of the best sources for catechins
Green and white tea are the least processed which is why they have the highest level of health benefits. This scientific articles explains how green tea has the highest L-theanine levels
Try this winter metabolism boosting tea!
Black tea is still good for you, it just isn't in the most optimum state.
Chemist Tips on Drinking Tea
What about decaffeinated tea?
We have talked about the science behind decaffeinating drinks on this post. It is important to read this if you are a decaf fan. The best way to drink tea without caffeine would be to try herbal teas which come from many herbs like peppermint, chamomile, lemon grass or ginger (also this delicious sugar cookie tea is an herbal tea!)
I absolutely love coffee in the mornings! Tea is something I enjoy throughout the day for health reasons. There are just so many scientifically proven reasons to drink tea!
If you love coffee, don't worry, it is pretty good for you too since it is a natural occurring chemical.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 10, 2015
Ruggable announces their 5x7 rugs are now available at 100 Lowes stores in California, making it easier for customers to find their products or get additional designs for their Ruggable systems.
Ruggable is changing the rug industry with easy to care for rugs that come apart and can be washed in the washing machine, much like a bedspread. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars each year to get rugs cleaned and maintained, customers are able to clean their rugs, or change them out to accommodate different styles and seasons. With the introduction of their product to Lowes, many more customers will have the opportunity to check out the quality of Ruggable rugs and how they can fit into the décor of their home.
"We're excited to have such a reputable store carrying our rugs," Jeneva Bell, the Ruggable founder stated. "Lowes is a seasoned, leading retailer that recognizes the need for a solution to affordably keep rugs clean by carrying our Ruggable two-part system that can be thrown in the washing machine."
Ruggable is the first solution based area rug meeting the needs of families with children and pets. The ability to wash the ruggable in a standard home wash machine and dryer keeps the rug fresh and clean without the need of professional cleaning services.
Ruggable 2-Piece System Rugs are unlike other rugs on the market:
- Machine washable
- Available in popular patterns and colors
- Versatile for any room
- Much more affordable than standard rugs
- Rug pad underneath makes removing the top cover for washing easy
"With our rugs on display at Lowes, customers can see first-hand the quality of Ruggable rugs," added Bell.
Ruggable was created when Jeneva Bell got frustrated with the expense and inconvenience of hiring a professional rug cleaner. Desiring a rug that was easily washable, she realized that she would have to invent one, as there was nothing currently available on the market. After creating her two-piece system, she decided to make Ruggable interchangeable, so that people could update their rug or change their décor with ease.

|Zechariah 6
King James Bible
Chapter 7
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, [that] the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth [day] of the ninth month, [even] in Chisleu;
When they had sent4 unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray15 before the LORD,
[And] to speak2 unto the priests which [were] in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying,2 Should I weep4 in the fifth month, separating9 myself, as I have done1 these so many years?
Speak3 unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying,2 When ye fasted1 and mourned2 in the fifth and seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye at all2 fast1 unto me, [even] to me?
And when ye did eat,4 and when ye did drink,4 did not ye eat6 [for yourselves], and drink6 [for yourselves]?
[Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD hath cried1 by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited6 and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when [men] inhabited6 the south and the plain?
And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,2
Thus speaketh1 the LORD of hosts, saying,2 Execute3 true judgment, and shew3 mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
And oppress4 not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine4 evil against his brother in your heart.
But they refused17 to hearken,53 and pulled4 away6 the shoulder, and stopped52 their ears, that they should not hear.2
Yea, they made1 their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest they should hear2 the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent1 in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried,1 and they would not hear;1 so they cried,4 and I would not hear,4 saith1 the LORD of hosts:
But I scattered them with a whirlwind17 among all the nations whom they knew1 not. Thus the land was desolate8 after them, that no man passed through6 nor returned:6 for they laid4 the pleasant land desolate.

Company Behind XL Pipeline Environmental Assessment Member of Major Oil Lobby Group
It has been discovered today that the company charged with writing the official Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline is a member of the American Petroleum Institute – the largest lobbying group for the US oil and gas industry.
The company hired by the State Department and at the center of this latest controversy, the Environmental Resources Management Group, has already come under fire for what many critics call an overly favorable report of the Keystone XL Pipeline. In the report, ERM stated that the pipeline project, "is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development" of the tar sands. Therefore, it will also have little impact on climate change.
On the heels of today's evidence of ERM's close ties to the American Petroleum Institute, six major environmental groups are calling for a new environmental assessment to be done by State on the Keystone Pipeline project.
To date, the American Petroluem Institute has spent over $22 million lobbying in favor of the construction of the Keystone Pipeline project.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

text: As I bought my '88 5ksq less than a year ago, this is the first time I've had the chance to take it out on tricky road conditions. Today, we got a dusting a snow that quickly became ice. Is it me, or does my car handle/grip better when just driving -- as opposed to turning or braking? I have no problems getting up hills, but I tend to slide a bit at intersections. A highly reputable tire shop sold me on Michelin MXV4's for Seattle weather (6 mos. ago). I know most Q-Listers are not fond of 'em. Without resurrecting any tire wars, could someone tell me if there are particular conditions where the MXV4's are great vs. poor? Things I should be careful of with them...? Also, the Audi manual says *not* to use the diff locks unless stuck or planning to get stuck (and I'd know that how????). Even then, only use center diff. True? Finally, any Audi- or 5ksq-specific advice for handling snow & ice? The '74 Superbeetle I used to drive was simple -- semi-controlled fishtail everywhere & chains when it gets really bad. :) Thanks in advance for any help. Andrejs P.S. One *really* good thing... heated seats, heated mirrors & *heat*!

Skip to comments.Obama High-Fives IRS with $92 Million in Bonuses
Posted on 05/20/2013 7:06:38 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
The IRS scandal is becoming more insane by the minute. After the testimony on Friday from the Inspector General and the now "retiring" acting IRS Commissioner, Steven Miller, things couldn't be more convoluted. First of all, Obama came out and said that Treasury Secretary Jack Lew had "demanded the resignation" of Miller, when in fact, Miller was due to leave his post by June of this year. So there was no "resigning" going on, and he will leave with all of his benefits intact. Wow! No accountability, no answers, no penalties.
Next we find out that during the four year period between 2009 and 2012 more than $92 million in bonuseswere handed out by IRS executives to thousands of tax agency employees. These bonuses were mostly given out to managers and executives for "performance based incentives".
So let me get this straight. These people were paid a salary by the taxpayers, and then given a bonus by the taxpayers to reward them for harassing and intimidating the taxpayers. Ok, got it. There are over 97,000 employees of the IRS, 16,910 of them got some sort of bonus for "a job well done". The largest bonus went to former IRS Commissioner Richard E. Byrd who received $60,270.
Digging a little deeper we find out that Lois Lerner, the woman who told us publicly that her agency was improperly singling out conservative and other groups including religious organizations, received more than $42,000 in bonuses over that four year period. She ADMITTED wrongdoing and yet was rewarded once again with OUR money!
But the best is yet to come. Sarah Hall Ingram who was in charge of tax-exempt organizations while the Tea Party and conservative groups were being targeted has conveniently been relocated within the IRS and now is in charge of the IRS office responsible for overseeing Obamacare. Promoted for a job well done! Joseph Grant, the executive who seems to be the one taking the fall for Ingram during that time is now resigning his post. He took over for Ingram when she was promoted. During the years 2010-2012 he received three bonuses totaling $83,950 in addition to his salary of $177,000. Job well done Joe!
During the years that Ingram was overseeing the tax-exempt division she received bonuses totaling $103,390 in addition to her salary which was raised from $172,500 to $177,000 during that time. In 2009 she received $7,000 in bonus money: (I guess she was just having her people gather names.) In 2010 it ramped up to $34,440. (Must be when the IRS agents started harassing their targets.) She took home an extra $35,400 in 2011, (delay, delay, and delay those applications for conservative groups.) 0 conservative groups with Tea Party or 9/12 in their name were approvedfor tax-exempt status in 2011 therefore, she receives a huge bonus. Then in 2012 she received a $26,550 bonus. She probably got less that year because the Tea Party groups had been stopped and the election was in November. The damage had been done and she reaped the rewards.
Mission accomplished. The IRS succeeded in shutting down the opposition and they were all high-fived and handsomely rewarded.
When this all unravels, and it will, hopefully; will we ever be able to trust any part of government at all? Right now we can't trust the Executive branch; they lie to us and seem more inept than a third world country. We can't trust the State Department; they are equally inept, except at cover-ups. Homeland Security can't protect us from terrorists on our own soil, yet they stock up on guns, ammo and tanks for unknown reasons. The Treasury Department manipulates the economic figures to fit their agenda and destroy our economy. Spying on American citizens and the press has been uncovered, and the Military is left hanging out to dry and can no longer trust anyone to watch their backs.
When will this madness end? This is not America; at least not the one I know. This is like some unbelievable Hollywood film that you watch but know could never happen, except it IS happening. Scandal after scandal is crippling our nation and unfortunately we have to deal with them. The Democrats want to "move on", but we can't move on until we cure the cancer that has infected this administration.
Will it ultimately lead to the top? Only time will tell. One thing is for sure; someone knows the answers to all of this and they can't keep pleading ignorance forever.
If I go, should I wear a ski-mask to avoid facial recognition scanning?
Mask choices are: The SCREAM; B. Hussein; Timmy GEE, the ex-Sherriff of Nottingham; or simply hold up a mirror to the camera.
Is that "Bonus" or "Bounty?"
The Palis protest with paper plates on their faces.
UNreal!! Holy crap does that get my blood boiling! And they want to take our guns? F THEM! This media can absolutely kiss my ASS because NONE of them report this crap, you actually have to seek it out on the web, the MSM completely ignores it, unreal. We live under a monarchy, we really do with all these slime bag monarchs doing whatever the hell they please. Enriching themselves tens of millions of times over by STEALING from the public because that is EXACTLY what insider trading is! It is stealing! There is absolutely NO difference between members of Congress and your local sanitation dept. that picks up garbage. Both are financed by taxes, they SERVE the public yet this media, these utter subhuman pieces of pig slop running the media constantly cover for these sc*mbags in Congress.
"Wow I didnt know Morgan Brittney was a conservative. I always thought she was more beautiful than Morgan Fairchilds."
Yeah that's the ticket, my wife Morgan Fairchile, whom I've seen naked.....
What? More people are onto his evil now than ever before.
This tells it all- time to clean out the swamp and slay the alagators!
Clean it out, then SHRINK IT forever more....

A widely accepted selection is cherry cabinets because they are supplied in an array of finishes, such as sienna, espresso, and wheat. With the range of finishes on hand, you can tailor your cabinetry to conform to any setting.

There is also the option of what form you wish your cabinet doors to be. You can make a selection among raised, recessed and slab panels. Each of these forms will deliver your kitchen a distinctive appearance.
Cherry cabinets are not excessively commonplace, but simultaneously are not excessively flashy, and maintain a sound balance between designs that are attractive to many individuals. Unlike other types of wood, it is comparatively modest, but yet can be really alluring to the onlookers. As a matter of fact, cherry appears like maple and has a mahogany-red tone in most cases, but can be available in white also.
Furthermore, it also boasts a quite graceful look that a lot of homeowners desire. This boosts the appeal of the wood to the general public. In case you are thinking about obtaining the cherry cabinetry, it is very much advisable that you buy these cabinets online because you can frequently discover them being offered at much lower prices on the web than what you would get at your nearby bricks and mortar store. What is the reason?
You will find several reasons behind the low cabinet prices on the internet. Firstly, there are abundant options on hand, and because you have plenty of selections, you will always get the best deal. In addition, as plenty of web-based suppliers don't own a physical outlet, they don't need to spend money that the maintenance of a physical shop would demand, and for this reason, they can offer their cherry cabinets at lower prices.

Protest Sign Ideas for Women's March - Part 2
I've been over whelmed with the support for my Protest Sign Ideas for Women's March designs these last few days. It's been nutty! Today the blog post for Protest Sign Ideas had 1,000 visitors. What I'm most encouraged by though is that over a thousand people care about our future as a country and want their voices heard this coming Saturday . A friend suggested one more poster and it was too good not to share. The new poster has been added to the others and can be downloaded here. I'll be marching in Providence this Saturday! Where will you be? Go out there and be heard!

Protest Sign Ideas for the Women's March
Protest Sign Ideas for the Women's March have been on my mind this week. Like a lot people, these last few months have left me feeling powerless and angry. But I've also used this time to reevaluate what I can do, how to move forward and use this time as a call to action in my life. I spent yesterday brainstorming possible Protest Sign Ideas for the Women's March this coming Saturday. I'm not able to go to DC but I'm excited to participate in my local RI one. I actually had a lot of fun! Something about the little one off projects can be the ones where great ideas just pour out of you. Here's are the Protest Sign Ideas for the Women's March I came up with. I also am including this link to all of the images shown here for your own use*. Please consider going to your local march this coming Saturday. There's a lot of scary change coming to this country and I truly believe that all of our voices matter. Go out and make yours heard.

Food 52 Swap
One of my favorite christmas traditions is one I've made myself. 4 years ago I randomly clicked on food blog, Food 52, and noticed that they were doing a christmas food swap. I signed up for it with out giving it too much thought. A few weeks later I received in the mail a treasure trove of home made pickles, vinegars cookies, sauces. It was crazy. My poor person definitely got the short end of the stick that year. I think I sent some home made chutney I was crossing my fingers didn't contain botulism (I had just taken an intro to canning class). This year swap haul came all the way from Hawaii which delighted me in such a way you would think air travel had just been invented. Thank you food52 user elbe!

Celebrating new connections! A post Lady Project Summit party.
We've all been there. You meet a new kick-#ss person at a large event, exchange cards, and tell each other you'll talk soon. Chances are that business card will just end up in a drawer with the rest of your lost connections. When you go to an event like the Providence Lady Project Summit, almost everyone is someone you want to keep in touch with. That's why myself, Jenny Faw of Dibzy and Corrine Hurshe of Corinne Hursh Events started brainstorming a fun way to follow up with the great women we met at the summit. Last wednesday we hosted cocktail party at Jenny's beautiful loft space in Providence. Our party planning was made even easier by using fellow lady project member and seminar leader Maureen Petrosky's book, "The Cocktail Club" . Each chapter of Maureen's book is devoted to a different liquor, and a selection of cocktail and appetizer pairings based on the liquor. "The Cocktail Club" is basically a blue print for a flawless party. The weather is finally warming up in New England so of course the liquor we picked was tequila! It was a blast. Shots MAY have been done...which would explain the photo shoot that happened in the bath tub later that night. I was so thrilled at how Jenny, Corinne and myself skills complimented each others, creating the most stress free party I've ever thrown. Did I mention that one of the new connections Jenny and I made at the summit was Corinne? We'd to love make this party the first in a series that promotes other lady's endeavors and products. We're looking forward to inviting more of our new connections to the next event!

Lady Project Summit 2015
The Lady Project is non profit organization that "inspires, connects, and showcases the talent of women" as their website puts it. As a member, I can enthusiastically say that it does just that. Since opening it's first chapter in Providence, it's quickly spreading to many other US cities. Really, I'm just a silly loud fan of this group. The yearly summit is coming up, a day of learning and meeting other cool "ladies". This is my blog entry and illustration that was recently featured on The Lady Project blog about my past summit experience.
Luck + Preparation = Opportunity.
Luck for me in this case happens to be the Lady Project. When I attended the 2014 summit, I had just moved back to Providence and was a fairly recent member. A friend had introduced me to Lady Project and after attending the birthday bash, I was sold.
The summit was a humongous success for me. I met Monica Lee when I may have, kind of, sort of, snuck into her full class. Shhh, don't tell Sierra. I was, and am still, a huge fan of her Smart Creative Women podcast. Since then, we've become friends. I took her great online style course, and have been featured on her blog.
Summit win 1.
I paid off 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS of debt with money I didn't know that I had until I attended Maureen Kerrigan's "how to take charge of your financial future" seminar. In case you were in that class with me, I was the one oversharing and generally flipping out over her own financial cluelessness. After class, Maureen gave me her card, told me to email her and we would figure things out together. At our meeting a few weeks later, she showed me that I had money in an IRA from my deceased mother that I could use to help pay off some of my debt.
Summit (HUGE) win 2.
My third summit win is "luck + preparation = opportunity" exemplified. As an illustrator, I am constantly producing new work that I am sending out there into the world. But with most artistic professions, sometimes the most I get is 30 likes from my friends on Facebook, a nice phone call from my grandmother, and that's that. Then I heard Rebekah Epstein, founder of fifteen media, speak of this amazing thing called the "press release." I knew what a press release was; it just never occurred to me that it could help my illustration career. And so when one of my custom bridal illustrations part of The Rhode Show's feature on the Lady Projects summer guide, I sent out a press release to all the RI media outlets in RI and… nothing. But 8 months later, the Providence Journal Bulletin, who was one of the organization who received my press release, contacted me. They wanted to write a feature on my bridal illustrations. I was interviewed, had my photo taken, and was looking forward a few inches devoted to me at the back of the lifestyle section.
When a relative calls you at 7am on sunday morning it's either a very good thing or a very bad thing. As I mumbled into the phone "Ok, who died?" My aunt screamed back "OH MY GOD! Have you seen the paper?!". My article was not two inches in the back of the lifestyle section, it was two humongous pages with my face plastered on the cover. That article has resulted in new customers and new work opportunities. Oh, and I got recognized at the gas station.
I'm looking forward to seeing what opportunities this year's summit brings. Because not everyone can get recognized at a Shell station. But being a Lady Project member helps.
Kristen Wiig-ing Out
If you had told me a year ago that I would have moved back to childhood home in suburban RI, I would tell you to please leave my sight because I don't talk to crazy people. There are things I aspired to in life and living out a Kristen Wiig movie where she has a break down and moves home to live with a zany parent, was not one of them.
According to me, I was living the dream. I labored through 8 years of the NYC fashion industry trenches designing art for kids clothing to get the the ultimate NYC goal, an apartment with out room mates! It was in tree lined Park Slope, made fun of for ( justly) over priced boutique grocery stores, 1,000 dollar designer strollers and babies in bars. And I LOVED it.
Every grocery store that I had to walk 15 blocks to get to.
Every day-care that only taught in French.
The NPR tote bags.
These were my people! Bring on the 10 dollar jar of artisanal pickles! I was thrilled to finally be there…except I really wasn't.
From 2008 on, I was downsized repeatedly by struggling companies. Thanks economy. The stories I have about jobs are worse then yours. I promise you. Unless you went to Afghanistan, or prison, in that case, you win.
This would've been the paragraph where I told you about my work place woes in DETAIL, but I'm over it… really… I am…stop looking at me like that. Anyways, I worked hard, kept my head down, telling myself that someday THE job would come along. And then it did. You know that feeling when you meet someone and you are so head over heals for him automatically, you're worried that this is too good to be true? That was me with this job. The people were creative, engaging, and most importantly, sane. My bosses were collaborative, interested in my opinion and protective of their employees. Free lunches. After work sports teams. I learned how to be a better designer at this job. I was pushed. I grew. "That's it", I thought." I 'm going to be here for years". Not so much. It ended 5 months later when the owner, sold it to a competing opposite coast company, a company that did not need two of every position.
I would like to bore you with the details of the following year, but honestly, there's only so much doom and gloom you can put in one blog post. I was fighting with myself all day, every day to keep going and I was moving around fast enough that I could ignore the brewing storm in my chest. My birthday in May was really the turning point. At my party I looked around, at my friends (who I love and have supported me), my boyfriend at the time who was one of those genuinely good souls, my perfect Park Slope apartment, and my at home studio with a desk full of work. A year ago, in a moment of cheesiness, I had written down all things I wanted in my life. Everything on that list now surrounded me. I assumed that when I had the things on the piece of torn out note paper, I would be ecstatic. What's more depressing then realizing you're not happy with the life you wanted? Realizing it at your birthday party, that's what.
Some advertising genius thought that the way to make anti depressant meds less threatening to the masses was to personify depression a cute BUT sad cartoon of a rain cloud. Thanks to some stellar genetics in my family, an "artistic temperament" as my mother put it, and some hard life breaks, me and that cloud had circled around each other in the past. But that next morning, sad cloud might as well have taken up residence in my apartment. I ushered my boyfriend out by 8am claiming the worst hang over ever and sat on that couch for the next two days. Weeks later, I ended things with him. I was so upside down I was barely seeing straight. I didn't know if I was right thing to do but I knew I couldn't keep track of myself, never mind a relationship. And maybe I knew it was going to get worse.
I was still freelancing but it had been two months since my last big project. I was worried. And then it came to me. If I worked as hard as I possibly could, I would succeed! How could I not? I had always told myself that I could do more when it came to my work, that I "wasn't dedicated enough", that I "was lazy". I committed to working in a way that I never had before. In an unrealistic crazy, unhealthy way. At my desk from 8am to 11pm at night. 15 minute meal breaks. Going out rarely to see friends, and maybe to the gym if I needed a glimpse of human interaction. In July I had my first panic attack. It was most likely a two day panic attack. If you're sitting at your desk trying to talk yourself out loud into not breaking down, that's pretty high on the "Dude, get some help" scale. But, in the first incident of a series that I believe saved my life, the physical manifestation of the panic attack just happened to go down in a doctors office. Pure divine intervention. My behavior was completely out of character by that point. I was hopeless. I was numb, my voice was flat and emotionless. I had no interest in food.
I realized a truth about myself. That as an artist, an illustrator, I thought what I did, was who I was. That is how I defined myself. That was how I always defined myself. From childhood on. If something went wrong, I had my art. If wasn't happy with my friendship or relationships, I had my art. And if I couldn't succeed at that, at the only thing I used to define who I was…well, you can guess the rest.
I'd like to say that was my a-ha moment but I got a lot worse before I even began to slightly get better. Because when it rains it pours…and then it hails…and then you get hit by lightening. I found a job, it was awful. I randomly got diagnosed with a pituitary tumor, bring on months of tests. I was frantic. I'm a worker by nature and my mind was racing to find a solution to a situation I could not solve. There comes a point in an illness where you are not going to be able to help yourself, only an objective, trained voice will. It wasn't until I saw the shock in my therapists eyes that I finally realized how bad things were. My therapist, who I began going to when my mom passed away, but had barley seen that summer due to cost, took me on gratis. The doctor who I had the panic attack in front of, did so also. It is a kindness I cannot ever begin to thank them for. I started to process of getting better and that meant making some annoyingly hard decisions.
I did not want to be defined purely by what I did. It's a dangerous thing. I wanted to have a more faceted balanced life that gave myself room to become more then just a cog in some big design wheel, more then just defining myself in one way. My sister and brother in law encouraged me to move out of Brooklyn, but I vehemently said no. It wasn't until I heard myself say to them " But I can't give up my apartment! It's the only good thing I have in NY right now!". "Ok, that DID NOT sound good out loud", I thought. Maybe staying for a piece of rented real estate wasn't a good choice long term.
But where would I go? I was too tired to figure that out. I was too tired to even think about getting another job. I truly knew that I needed some rest when I realized that I was, god help me, ok with moving in with my dad for a bit.
I didn't know how I was going to figure out my next step but I knew if I was going to I needed to start making some deliberate yet very kind to myself, steps to do so. In the coming entries ( she says optimistically) , I'm going jot off the steps that have helped me the most. Particularly, how I'm trying to find my own artistic voice and my own best life.
Cue the Kristen Wiig movie.

There is much discussion in the Academic world about the current state of the architectural profession. Most of this centers around the thought that the 'traditional" office structure of one or two Principal Architects surrounded by additional Architects and various support staff is dead or dying. The alternative is a world of collaboration where everyone has an equal seat at the table and no one, certainly not an Architect is in charge. The problems with this scenario are numerous; First if the goal of Architecture is to actually build, both structures and spaces (I know this is not the prevailing thinking in many arenas), then somebody needs to lead otherwise nothing gets past the idea stage which in my opinion is not Architecture, it is simply that, an Idea. Second regardless of what the Academic elite want us to think it is still and likely for some time to come exactly the traditional office which is building. Ironically some point to the decreasing size of major Architectural firms and the increasing number of small 2-10 person office which are proliferating since there are not many jobs to go around. I think that is great, if you look at most small offices they embody the "independent genius" model made popular by Ayn Rand and demonized by academics in recent years. Lastly although it may change some day states license individuals, not companies, not collaborations, not groups, individuals. No matter how a project of any significant size and many smaller but no less important ones, gets designed, before it is permitted and constructed someone stamps and signs each sheet, Architect, Engineer, Landscape Architect or other professional puts their name and license on the line. This in order to protect the life safety an welfare of the public, not I think a bad thing.
Education of an Architect

3 Responses to Education of an Architect
My humble opinion is that "yes" there will be more "collaborative" environments within the world of architecture and construction. Yes, there will be cross-over between disciplines and trades people. But, more importantly…"YES", there will always be one person who has the last say and signs on the dotted line. Why? Because, in this world where we all in this business have been badly-bruised, wounded, or severely scared by the last 2 years—success is now based on not going forward alone. Historically, solo Architects have always had to have many tools in their back pocket, but now they require multiple personalities to survive. Think…sole Architects now needing to be their own developers, web-designers, marketing agents, graphic designers, accountants, and the list goes on. Though, as a collaboration or co-op, everyone in the group can benefit from the strengths of others…but only the registered/ licensed with rise to the top. My concern for architectural education is based only on my personal observations. In the last 4 years, I have seen BArch and MArch's come into the profession without many basic skills. I'm talking significant deficiencies! The inability to properly read drawings, understanding the meaning behind line weights, complete lack of regard for hierarchy or hell—life safety priority and protocols…and don't get me started on "systems". If architectural education is left much longer to the "theorists"…pure architecture we die. So, perhaps if architecture schools fail and close; people will flock to the offices of registered professionals for their education—maybe then the profession can survive.
Superior thkinnig demonstrated above. Thanks!
This is an ariltce that makes you think never thought of that!

Lewis' approach is not a flashy, attention-seeking style, but an art built on the solid craftsmanship of dedication to detail. His casual shifts from single-note soloing to chordal phrasing are notable for the rhythmic ease in which he builds extended solos, as is his mastery of a wide range of mainstream styles from blues to swing to bossa nova to bebop.
Lewis moves easily among the diverse challenges of these styles without the chopped phrasing and rhythmic stumbling of so many of his contemporaries. The fluency and flexibility of his solos would not be possible without a deep knowledge of the possibilities of the instrument; his rhythmic and harmonic sophistication partially accounts for why this long guitar trio recording remains engaging throughout.
The second track, "On Green Dolphin Street, provides an excellent introduction to the trio: Lewis spins out a long solo statement, punctuated by many fine fills by drummer Rick Justice. Bassist Jim Martin demonstrates that there are three notable soloists in the trio. This tight, empathetic group accompanies Lewis with a low-key sensitivity to the nuances of the music. Better Than Ever is not a hit-and-miss recording with a few strong tracksthe playing is consistent and of high quality. Other highlights include an up-tempo "It Might As Well Be Spring and an imaginative version of "Jitterbug Waltz.
Vince Lewis learned his craft in the jazz venues of Charleston, West Virginia, a place many would think unlikely for a significant talent to emerge. But Lewis reports that for a long time Charleston has been a lively jazz world that has often surprised touring musicians with its sophistication. All three musicians are from West Virginia, and their association dates back to the late 1960s, which partially accounts for how well they play together.
Better Than Ever was recorded in St. Albans, West Virginia; both the mix and the sound quality are professionally accomplished. In summary, this is a highly recommended recording by a guitarist who should be a widely recognized musician in the world of jazz.
Visit Vince Lewis on the web.
Track Listing: Too Marvelous For Words; On Green Dolphin Street; Sue's Waltz; Only Trust Your Heart; The Preacher; My Romance; It Might As Well Be Spring; Namely You; Here's That Rainy Day; Shiny Stockings; Jitterbug Waltz; I've Never Been In Love Before.
Personnel: Vince Lewis: guitar; Jim Martin: bass; and Rick Justice: drums.
