If you're a wrestler, then you need to remember to care for your smile as you practice and compete. This is important because, whether you believe it or not, wrestling can be damaging to the smile. So, it's important to care for it in every way you can. To help you do so, our dentist, Dr. Kevin Scott, has some tips for you.
First, wear a mouthguard. A mouthguard can protect your teeth and gums when you suffer a blow to the face, no matter if it's a hard or soft blow. We all know getting hit in the mouth is common while wrestling. Wearing a mouthguard can help you avoid oral injury, like chipped, broken, and knocked-out teeth as well as damaged or injured oral tissues.
Second, avoid drinking sports drinks. Sports drinks can encourage tooth decay development because they are loaded with sugar. As you probably already know, sugar is bad for the teeth. So, it's best to drink water instead. You can also reduce (not eliminate) the effects of the sports drink by rinsing with water after consuming the beverage.
For more information and details about how to care for your smile this wrestling season in The Woodlands, Texas, please reach out to Sterling Ridge Dental Center at 281-363-3308. Our dental team is here to help you, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Street and power outage updates for Edmonds
Here's some information and advice on city streets from Edmonds Public Works Director Phil Williams on Monday, Feb. 4:
"As of 1 p.m. Monday, all of our arterial streets and major roadways are open. There are some residential streets closed (not many), where they are too slick to even get a plow truck and sander on them.
"We have been sanding and de-icing continuously since before the snow began to fall yesterday. We will be going all night tonight as well. Forecasted temperatures on Tuesday should allow some melting to take place. We will continue to work on our road network 24/7 to keep our primary routes open.
"As always, keep trips to the minimum necessary, try to shift them out of prime commuting periods, and drive slowly. Please, those of you with four-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles, don't get overly aggressive. You may be able to start quickly in slippery conditions but stopping will be just as difficult as it is for everybody else. Be patient, leave early, and stay safe.
Williams said he's noticed quite a few kids – and some parents – out sledding on city streets.
"I understand the temptation but it is just not safe," he said. "These streets are generally not closed. People can back out of driveways quickly. You may not be able to stop at the bottom and could enter traffic at the next intersection.
"Most sleds are not easy to steer with precision. We have had some serious accidents as a result of this activity in the past. Exercise caution! Parents, please help them do so. As always, thank you for your cooperation."
Power outages
According to Snohomish County PUD spokesman Aaron Swaney, about 10,000 customers lost power total Monday due to the snowy and windy conditions. A couple of thousand were in the downtown Edmonds and Firdale areas. Most of these outages were the result of tree limbs falling into lines.
"We're down to approximately 250 as of 1 pm this afternoon, so our crews did a great job of getting folks back up despite the treacherous driving conditions. Crews will continue to work through this afternoon and evening to restore power."

'The Journal of Transdisciplinary Environmental Studies' (TES)
Volume 1, Number 2, Dec. 2002

Abstract: Community Participation in Natural Resource Management projects has been a concept much debated in international development planning and policy-making. However, the debates tend to be based on undocumented postulates and implicitly normative statements on why, when, and how local communities should or should not be involved. Approaching the issue by using Institutional Rational Choice (IRC) theory could provide a more consistent basis for discussion. But here the problem seems to be the lack of empirical grounding of the theory.
This article is an attempt to bring the discussions a step further at two levels. At the empirical level, it provides some quasi-experimental empirical results from the author's own research in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, West Africa, in support of the theoretical hypothesis that community-based institutional arrangements are more cost-effective than centralized types of arrangement for sustainable provision and production of common pool goods and services.
At the methodological level, it suggests a methodological solution to some of the major challenges in making IRC-analysis operational in a quasi-experimental sense.
Key words: community participation, natural resource management, institutional rational choice, Mauritania.

Why Do Magicians Wear Tuxedos?
Why does a man wear a tuxedo? Some probable answers might include:
He's going to the prom
He is getting married now.
He's a waiter who juts started his shift
Hold the phone! The guy is going to perform magic. Surely anyone doing magic wears a tux. It logically follows that someone dressed in apparel not worn generally by the public in almost sixty years have to be a well trained and entertaining artist.
I encounter responses like:
"People will not know we are magicians if we don't wear our magician uniform," bemoan penguin-like illusionists.
"Actual magicians must wear tuxedos," yells the part time practitioner in his ill-fitting vintage apparel.
The question of what magicians should wear has existed for more than a century. The right answer has existed just as long. Unfortunately, many magicians just do not get it.
The common uniform for a "genuine magician" was to dress up like a magician complete using a conical hat and a long robe with stars and crescent moon symbols on it. Robert-Houdin (Harry Houdini took his stage name from Robert Houdin) chose to see magic as an artwork. He invented many wonderful effects.
He would head out on a bare stage to present his magic dressed in formal evening gown. The attire was suitable and commonly worn for evening theatrical productions. Instead of dressing in way entirely different from his crowd, Robert-Houdin dressed like his crowd--in a tuxedo.
In Robert-Houdin's advice to magicians, Robert said that a magician should wear a tuxedo to appear as a gentleman and fit in with society. In those days men wore tuxedos. Most modern magicians who wear a tuxedo don't really understand the spirit of Houdin's advice. David Blaine, however, in his first TV show, walked around dressed as an American man--in a tee shirt and jeans. This is following the spirit of Houdin's wisdom.
If you want magic to be regarded as a fine art, take your performance and dress critically. Let the level of your magical performance speak to the degree of your magic artistry.
What about Lance Burton? Good question, thanks for asking. Lance's performing character makes wearing a tuxedo suitable for his performance. Mr. Burton consciously links back into magic historical roots. Figuratively speaking, he traces the mantel of magical passed down throughout the ages. He portrays the great magician out of yesteryear. Lance performs classical magic effects while donning the classical magical attire.
This is very different in strategy from most of the other magicians wearing tuxes. Most part-time professional magicians put on a tux with no respect to their acting personality. The secret to what to wear is your performing persona. Start with the premise that a tux isn't an alternative. Inspect the important elements of your performing character you wish to convey with your audience. Tailor your dress to consciously communicate those key components.
One more factor to consider is whether you want to stand out or blend with your audience. Let's say you would like to blend with your own audience. This is common approach for your own corporate or restaurant magician. What's your audience be sporting? Try to dress just a bit above your audience. That doesn't mean wear a tuxedo to a block party or pool party.
Let's say you wish not to blend in with the audience, but use your uniform to stand out. Figure out strategies to contrast with your audience and even the venue which communicates positively to your performing personality.
By way of example, suppose your acting personality is that strange middle-aged uncle that all of the kids love but also make parents roll their eyes. You know the type, each family has one.
His style sense will be decades out of fashion but he is going to be clueless that he is not the handsome man around. If that's your chosen performing character, then the performer's style will match the outfit. The purpose again is the outfit selected by the magician must relate to performing personality.
Let's return to the initial query. Why do magicians wear tuxes? All magic tricks fall into 8 categories learn more, but that doesn't mean all magicians must wear a tuxedo.
Nobody understands such as the magicians. Know your performing personality. You won't become a great pianist and showman by just copying Liberace's glittery wardrobe.
Select your apparel to match your venue and performing character. Treat your magic functionality like the artistic performance you would like it to be Learn more.

FOR most clubs, with the EDF national trophy semi-final at Exeter in two weeks time and the chance of a Twickenham final to follow, this should be a time of people playing for their places.
But this is Pertemps Bees, with one of the smallest squads in National One and enough injuries to populate a series of Casualty.
So it's more a question of who is fit and available.
Out of adversity, though, is coming a team spirit which saw Bees ease through the quarterfinals with an easier-than-thescoreline-suggests 23-10 victory at Newbury.
Coach Ben Harvey said that although there was competition to play in a few positions, such as scrum-half, that was an exception in a squad where there were often not enough cards to shuffle the pack.
Bees' numbers received a boost this week with the return of utility back Dave Knight from an eight-week suspension for a dangerous tackle and he is expected to be in the squad to travel to Doncaster tomorrow.
Harvey said: With people like Dave coming back that puts a bit of pressure on the other lads playing.
"Kyle Palm really stepped up at the weekend and people are starting to play well and collectively."
Bees lost Canadian winger Brodie Henderson, who had to go home after a family illness, and coach Ben Harvey said: "We wish him well. We haven't legislated on him coming back.
"If he is available we will welcome him with open arms but we are not expecting it."
They have also lost full-back Jon Goodridge, who has been recalled by Gloucester, so Knight's return to the back division is well timed.
Harvey is expecting a difficult afternoon tomorrow. He said: "Doncaster will be very tough.
"They have had a poor run recently but they have a lot of quality players who have come down from the Premiership but who are not on the slide yet or if they are are right at the start of it.
"There are some quality players there. Jason Forster (back row) is on of the best players in the league and he is surrounded by a lot of others, so it will be tough."

Remember Bing's recent announcement that they would redesign search? Part of that is a redesign of Bing's search result page, and the new snapshot bar that is attached to the main search results listing. The idea here was to provide searchers with relevant and related information about the search they have conducted. The new feature is being rolled out on Bing U.S. first, and then later on for localized Bing versions.
Google today announced the launch of Knowledge Graph in the U.S., and guess what it resembles? Right, Bing's Snapshot Bar. While there has certainly been not enough time to react on Bing's announcement that fast, it is surprising that both companies made the decision to add a sidebar to search that is displaying related contents.
The Knowledge Graph enables you to search for things, people or places that Google knows about—landmarks, celebrities, cities, sports teams, buildings, geographical features, movies, celestial objects, works of art and more—and instantly get information that's relevant to your query. This is a critical first step towards building the next generation of search, which taps into the collective intelligence of the web and understands the world a bit more like people do.
According to the announcement, the Knowledge Graph is enhancing search in three ways:
The database that Google is currently tapping in contains 500 million objects, and more than 3.5 billion facts. The Knowledge Graph is currently being rolled out to users of Google's U.S. search engine.
It is interesting to note that the screenshots shown by Google on the official blog do not show any advertisement. It is not clear where ads will be placed, but it is likely that we will see them in their usual spots in the search results (which means above the organic results, and in the sidebar, like mixed in the sidebar contents).
It is likely that the majority of users will find the display of information useful. For Google, it is another step into a "the Internet needs only one page" future, trying to keep searchers and users longer on their own properties. I had no chance to test the change yet, and would like to know if the company links to the public sources they use.
What's your take on the Knowledge Graph feature?Advertisement
Advertising revenue is falling fast across the Internet, and independently-run sites like Ghacks are hit hardest by it. The advertising model in its current form is coming to an end, and we have to find other ways to continue operating this site.
We are committed to keeping our content free and independent, which means no paywalls, no sponsored posts, no annoying ad formats or subscription fees.
If you like our content, and would like to help, please consider making a contribution:
This Knowledge Graph feature seems most valuable, but if it has to be tied in an inseparable way with advertisement then I'll have to be off this feature.
Google is so smart that you never know what leads to the other : skill or profit !
There are so many "libraries" on the Web, my first concern with Google — when I still call them — is mapping and search, and videos via Youtube. Otherwise they establish in my mad mind a comparison with a gorgeous woman in whome I'd have little trust : sorry ladies :)
It's a useful snapshot for general info, but probably not needed all the time… e.g. If you study & regularly search on Shakespeare's works, how many times you want to see his birthplace and family tree mapped out etc? so can we toggle this on/off ?
Wouldn't it be better to teach people to learn how to search properly? I'd rather be able to ask the right questions to quickly find the right result, than have to wade through maps and irrelevant info to find my answer.
Knowledge Graph has nothing to do with bing's snapshot. It is different in concept. Google just digs deeper and showed again that they are 1 2 or 3 steps ahead.

Le Le Pot
After a crazy night at Zouk when Dash Berlin was spinning, the roomie and I needed some warm comfort post-drinks food for lunch.
And yes, this was months ago.
All my posts are never on time.
And yes I last posted more than a month back.
I blame work. I really do. It sucks up all my energy. And now I have a HUGE backlog of photos.
So much food to share, so little time :(
But thank god for Instagram and Yummypin. Both applications allow me to update on the go.
So back to Le Le Pot aka 乐乐锅, this is my second time having it. I first posted on this yummy steamboat place maybe 2 years back? I know Hai Di Lau is all the rage now and I've tried Hai Di Lau but what the heck it's so damn pricey. And how can a steamboat not be buffet style?! #clearlyaglutton
Hai Di Lau is good. But really the price prevents me from going back there any time soon. Le Le Pot, on the other hand, has an amazing price of $21.80 for a weekend buffet.
Although there really is nothing special about the range of food served there, what I really really love about Le Le Pot is the tom yum soup base. I have never had any other tom yum soup better than the one served at Le Le Pot. It's sour and not too spicy, almost as if it's tomato base.
Roomie can attest to that. She loves Le Le Pot because of the tom yum soup, and mind you she's picky about tom yum soup. She loves it so much, she went again with her family a week after.
And of course, the lychee freeze drink is just superb on a hot day and super refreshing.
The food is fresh in general and they have a wide range of cooked food too. I have to say though that their cheese fries standard has dropped a little. The fries came a bit soggy this time.
Other than that, everything is great! I still love their fried mantou with condensed milk.
To date, Le Le Pot still holds the title of favourite steamboat place, even after 2 years.

Your Food, Your Genetic Expression, Your Health
By all accounts it seems that it was Jeffrey Bland, PhD who coined the phrase "Food is Information". It has taken almost two decades for this concept to influence our everyday conversation about holistic health, wellness, and Functional Medicine. We get both excited by and mired in the myriad research endeavors into causative factors of disease, nutraceuticals to treat or reverse disease, and even the direct application of specific microbial strains to influence our physiology. Both this year, 2017, and last year at the Integrative Health Symposium NYC the conversation kept coming back to food. Apparently we need reminding!
Often spoken of as the "Godfather" of Functional Medicine, Dr. Bland was really way ahead of his time. Thankfully he is a pioneer, persistent, and full of incredible common sense that allows him to make educated intuitive leaps that later research has fully supported. In his book Genetic Nutritioneering written with Sara H. Benum, M.A. in 1999, he posits 4 important points which fostered new verbiage and definitions:
1. Genes interact with nutritional components to signal change in expression
a. We now call this Nutrigenomics
2. Nutrients can alter the way that genes regulate physiology
a. This effect is through Epigentics
3. Epigenetic effects are transferred from mother to offspring
a. This is termed Transgenerational
b. It often affects three generations: Mom, fetus, and fetal germ cells
4. Phytochemicals affect our physiology and health
a. This is through Signal Transduction
b. Many specific nutrients work through Hormesis
Dr. Bland reminded us of these breakthrough concepts in his keynote speech February 25 at the culmination of the three-day NYC IHS. And then he went on to further tie it all together.
As health and wellness practitioners we, ourselves, can become bogged down in the labyrinth of "right diets" and conflicting theories, and even conflicting research about diets. To listen to multiple thought leaders in Natural and Functional Medicine is to learn that: A High Fat diet is really good for you now; except when it isn't, which is when you have Metabolic Syndrome and specific genes and microbiota that turn choline into inflammatory poison, in which case you should eat a Vegan Diet; except that a diet deficient in choline and good fats is a definite risk factor for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, and sugar and carbs are even worse for the brain; except that we need certain carbs to feed and grow a healthy microbiome and nobody in the developed world is consuming enough fiber, and to be healthy we need to limit carbs to 50g daily; no, that's net carbs after subtracting the fiber; but if you have a glutathione deficiency 100g daily after fiber is better; except if you have dysbiosis, and especially SIBO, in which case all fiber and carbs is bad; but only for the short term because fiber and brightly colored fruits and vegetables and a reasonable amount of healthy fat from fish, avocado, some seeds and nuts and olives is the foundation of a healthy diet with which we can all agree! Confused? Imagine our patients' confusion! Now throw some food allergies into the mix...
It is a huge amount of information to process and integrate. In busy health practices we want the quickest and most direct route to get our patients better. We want to know exactly what food, what dose of vitamin or herb, what standardization. In short, we want a formula. There are formulas out there, but they are not simple. Why? Because the people to whom we are applying them are not simple. Food is the greatest controllable causative factor in health and disease. It is also the most difficult therapy to apply because of lack of patient compliance. Sometimes this is due to lack of understanding, an inability to prepare food, lack of resources in both finances and sourcing, or a lack of support. Often, though, it is due to the initial addiction cycle that poor food has established in the microbiome and the physiology of the patient. They are not just unwilling to make the right food choices, their microbiome is not letting them. This is why we have supplements. They are the tools we can use to help our patients alter the signaling in their bodies so that they can gain control of their choices.
What does our microbiome affect? Well, our GI microbiome plays a part in digestion and assimilation of dietary nutrients; it plays an enormous role in the GI-governed immune function, purported to be 2/3 of our total immune system; it plays an enormous role in regulation of inflammatory pathways not only in the gut, but throughout the entire body; it is responsible for sending signals through the gut mucosa and into our central nervous system that interact with our own human receptors and transmitters in a complex opera; and it seems to produce neurotransmitters, hormones, and enzymes that can even alter our genetic expression—perhaps even affect replication. Most mind blowing of all is that all of this, for better or for worse, is dependent upon what we feed our microbes. Period. In the effort to determine what method of extraction and what dose of food-derived nonnutrient molecules will best influence our cellular mechanisms, is it possible we overlook the likelihood that many of the herbs and nutraceuticals we are utilizing are not entirely dependent upon their bioavailability to the bloodstream, but exert an effect via the microbial interface in the gut? Certain pathways such as Nrf2 and BDNF can be activated independent of the level of absorption of active compounds into the bloodstream or across the blood-brain barrier. * Curcumin, resveratrol, berberines, silymarin, and quercetin are great examples of this. Others, such as sulforaphanes, have potent bioavailability in the bloodstream, but foods with suforaphanes have potent activities in the gut as well. Whole Coffee Fruit Concentrate has been shown to increase BDNF production by the brain, better than isolated compounds in coffee, but how is still in question.** We have to consider the pathways by which our microbiome influences health outside our guts because of microbial interaction with the foods and herbs we consume. It is tremendously exciting.
Our nutrient intake of both macro and micronutrients both directly and indirectly influence our health. There is no one way, there is no one path, it is a symphony. DNA is in our genes, and we get them from our parents, but the transcription of DNA to RNA to proteins is absolutely nutrient dependent. The formation and function of enzymes to metabolize and catalyze is dependent upon the raw materials available, including amino acids, macro and trace minerals, and key vitamins. The microbes in our individual systems are, themselves, responsible for all manner of productions, including certain vitamins, short chain fatty acids, hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes, and they facilitate metabolic and detoxification pathways. It is lifestyle, diet, pristine or toxic exposures, and even thought patterns that greatly influence how our hard-wired DNA will be expressed. Over this we have tremendous control, we have choices, and we have tools. Dr. Peter D'Adamo also lectured at IHS NYC and blew minds wide open with his new program. He created software, called Opus23Pro and Utopia, to analyze raw data from genetic sequencing like 23andMe in combination with raw microbiome data from Ubiome. The programs also take into consideration current epigenetic factors. As we study healthy, vigorous people using the same tools as we use on the unwell, we will come closer to understanding what is a "normal" range, and how to achieve and maintain that. Simply analyzing DNA is not enough. Analyzing stool and blood is not enough. We must combine all these data together, and brilliant programs like this give us the opportunity to view our patients with new eyes. What an amazing contribution he has made to the field of functional medicine where we must understand all the factors contributing to a patient's disease or wellness. As Hippocrates was credited with saying, "It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has."

Trick to achieving financial freedom
Ahhh! Adulthood – regular paychecks, eating meals that don't come in a Styrofoam cup, and the ability to, as Tom from "Parks and Recreation" would say, "Treat Yo' Self" But how much of your newfound income should you be saving? Are you spending too much? Are you investing it in the right places and growing it or just letting it sit?
The suggestion is to always have at least 2-3 months worth of living expenses in your savings account. This includes rent, food, gas and any other basic living expenses. How do we decide what to spend, save, and invest? Apply the "50-30-20 Rule" to every paycheck you receive:
- 50%: Spending
- 30%: Savings
- 20%: Investment
This amount goes to your recurring living expenses. Don't forget to include things such as:
This second part is adjustable. Put 30% of each paycheck away until you reach the suggest amount I mentioned above – 2-3 months worth of pay for a rainy day. Once you reach that goal it assess your immediate goals (a vacation perhaps?) to determine how much you should be putting in your savings versus investing. If you are comfortable with the amount you are saving, speak with your adviser about changing up the ratio to lend more to the investment proportion.
This is also where Orca's partnered adviser and signature "goal planning" portfolios step in. Have a specific question? Ask us here.
The final 20%, is also adjustable and goes towards investments. These investments can have different strategies based on what you want to accomplish and Orca's Advisers can help you pick the entry-level investments that are right for you. A good way to think about how much you should be putting towards investments is to write down your long-term goals; for example: buying a condo, starting a business, or graduate school. Investing ensures that your money is working for you and helps you raise money towards expensive goals much faster by accumulating money from other sources (stocks, real estate, etc.).
While its important to have money sitting in your bank account, it is also crucial to make sure your money is working for you. Make a timeline according to your goals and take advantage of the growth you can attain by leveraging investments.
At Orca and our partnered advisers specialize in working with you to create a goal-oriented plan specifically for you and your lifestyle. We understand that we all have short term goals as well as long term ones. Ask your questions here and schedule a free consultation here #orcafinancial.

Protips For Renting a Affordable Portable Potty by Millinocket, Maine!
When you are hosting an outside gathering that calls for you to rent a porta potty, you'll need to invest some time in researching the business you rent from to ensure that you have the full range of selection you need. There's a good selection of porta potty solutions available for everyone and it is vitale to get a broad background on the options that are involved in choosing the right one. Below are just a few things to take into consideration when selecting a company to rent your portajohn or portable toilet trailer from for your upcoming occasion.
Regardless if you're hosting an indoor or outdoor event, if you plan on having greater than a few dozen people then you'll want to start considering restroom options. You should consider how formal your occasion is going to be, the amount of time it will last and the number of of guests you are expecting. Reading up on the rental company and the types of portable toilets they have in stock is sound advice before choosing any old stalls.
Step one to a good event is selecting a reliable porta potty company. You'll want to go with a rental company who has a wide selection of choices and has a quick customer service team. No one desires their event to be ruined by anything as basic as a portable toilet problem, so that's why you'll want to ask about how quickly a service team can correct any issues you may have during your event. You'll have a large assortment of porta potty selections to choose from, so you shouldn't have any problems finding the size or amount that you'll require to host your occasion.
The best choice for basic portable toilet rentals involving smaller gatherings are usually going to be the single-stall variety that you usually see on construction sites. For larger or more upscale events, you can opt for the entire bathroom trailer option, which provides a full restroom area for people to use. Even the most basic of portable toilet options will include the most common sanitation amenities such as toilet paper, handwash and paper towels. If you have a smaller event and just want to have the most basics of portable toilets, you can always opt for an external hand washing basin. The VIP portable toilets come with with all of the supplies that are needed, including a nice smell in an air freshener.
Most porta potty rental companies will gather information such as your guest size and length of your event before providing an accurate price quote. The price of your portable toilet rental will be determined by the length of time you are using the stalls for, number of units rented and any additional custom selections you've chosen. The positive thing about renting porta potties is that you have the choice to customize the toilets to match your individual desires.
In any area where large amounts of guests are going to be doing work or attending for long periods of time, it makes sense to have mobile toilets available. Corporate functions, charity events, and weddings are just a few situations when it makes sense to have the upscale restroom options. Whenever you are expecting guests who are going to be dressing in in formal cloths, it makes sense to go for the more upscale portable toilet selections. These rental options will help make sure that your guests aren't impacted by lack of stalls or amenities that they would usually enjoy inside.
A good host should also think about cleaning services and resupply of paper essentials that you will probably need throughout your gathering for the toilet units. Types of supplies will include essentials like hand sanitizer, toilet paper and additional paper products when guests are washing their hands. You may want to make sure that there are toilet paper refills close at all times, because the last thing you want to happen at your special occasion is for a person to come up and tell you they need more supplies in the stalls.
If you are renting the typical porta potty then you're likely looking at an average cost of between fifty and seventy-five dollars per day. These costs might also vary based on the vendor and season. The more upscale portable restrooms can easily cost up to 0 per day, and if you want a fully loaded stall you may be looking at spending as much as 0. Considering these factors are recommended when selecting a vendor to rent your portable toilet from. Regardless of who you select to service your portable toilet needs, you can't go wrong as long as you're asking the best questions ahead of time.

13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognising Him.
17 He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along?"
They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?"
19 "What things?" He asked.
"About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified Him; 21 but we had hoped that He was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn't find His body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said He was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but Him they did not see."
25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter His glory?" 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself.
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if He were going farther. 29 But they urged Him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So He went in to stay with them.
30 When He was at the table with them, He took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognised Him, and He disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon." 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognised by them when He broke the bread.
For the past three or so years the followers of Jesus had seen some amazing things happen right in front of their eyes. The lame walked, the blind saw, the deaf heard, the dead lived – the list goes on. But in the words of that old song, "You ain't seen nothing yet." The next 40 days between the resurrection and ascension were even more dramatic as the risen Jesus appeared to many of His disciples as the reality of His victory over death began to sink in.
Luke is the only gospel that records the story of Cleopas and his friend journeying to the village of Emmaus, but it is a wonderful story, as it not only gives us an historical record of what happened that day, but it also speaks of our own spiritual journey today.
As the risen Christ meets us on our travels through life, He takes our brokenness and confusion, and reveals Himself to us as He teaches us the truth of God. The result is a total transformation as the Spirit of God gives us a new purpose for living and a new burning desire to serve and worship Him.
This story teaches us not only about ourselves, but also how Jesus opens our eyes to see Him for who He is and about how we can come to know Him better.
So the journey to Emmaus is both a literal and a spiritual journey. For Cleopas and his friend it was a literal journey on that first Easter Sunday. We don't know for sure, but Emmaus was probably their hometown. They were devastated by what had happened during the past few days, and Friday in particular, so now they had to pick up the pieces of their lives and carry on. This man Jesus had promised so much, and in their own words, "we had hoped that He was the one who was going to redeem Israel." But it hadn't worked out as they'd hoped. The Romans were still here, and Jesus was dead. They had not understood who He really was and what the real purpose of His life was, but they were soon to learn the truth on their journey home.
For us, we are on a similar journey. We don't fully understand the purposes of God, and if the truth be told sometimes He is right there next to us, but because we're so distracted by all the clutter in our lives we don't even recognise Him. But as He walks with us on our spiritual journey to our spiritual home, He teaches us, reveals His purposes to us, and fills us with new hope.
The story of the Emmaus Road outlines for us the journey that we all take from not recognising Jesus, to understanding what the Bible teaches about Him, to recognising Him for who He is, and finally to being witnesses of what we have seen and experienced.
The first thing we're able to learn today is that He seeks us first. In the words of Romans 5:8, "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." We don't seek God – He seeks us. Cleopas and his friend were just going home, discussing what to do next, when Jesus joined them.
They knew who Jesus was, but they did not recognise Him. They knew a lot about Him. They had been witnesses to all those things that had happened in Jerusalem. They had heard on many occasions the things Jesus said about Himself. Yet, they were not able to recognise Jesus when He joined them.
Why is that? Why do we so often fail to recognise the presence of God?
The first problem is our weak faith. As Jesus said, "How foolish you are, and slow of heart to believe." Our sin and our weak faith will always hamper us, and this is why we need God to teach us about Himself, but in His grace, this is exactly what He does.
His gradual revelation of Himself allows us to learn lessons about trusting God and in His promises. Even though Jesus had told His disciples many times what was going to happen that weekend, they still struggled to believe it.
One of the main reasons for this is the same thing we battle with: We often have our own preconceived ideas of who God is and what He should be doing. As far as the followers of Jesus were concerned, He was meant to be the knight in shining armour that would get rid of the Roman oppressors once and for all. And when He didn't do what they expected of Him, they were disillusioned, confused and felt that God had let them down.
How often are we disillusioned by God and left confused because He hasn't done what we thought He should do for us?
Just like Jesus' followers 2000 years ago, we find ourselves questioning God and His goodness, and sometimes we wonder if He is really there at all. Things do not happen as we expect, and our faith in God is weakened even further.
But God always has a plan – a plan that we very often cannot see or understand. Remember, He is God and we are not, so when things don't quite turn out like we expect, instead of giving up and walking away from Him, maybe we should try to see things differently. Maybe we should try this prayer once in a while: "Lord, I don't understand why this has or hasn't happened, but I really want to seek your will for me. What is it you're trying to teach me here?" Try it – you might be surprised at how He answers that prayer.
The disciples had heard the reports of the women who went to the tomb. Others had been there and also seen the empty tomb, but still they just could not believe what had happened. For God to do something as miraculous as raising Jesus from the dead was simply too much for them – despite the fact that they had seen Him do it many times. After all they'd seen and heard for years, they still did not see Jesus for who He really was.
And we must guard against making the same mistake – to dismiss what God has done or is doing simply because we cannot explain it or understand it. While God often uses natural things to accomplish His will, He also does things we can neither explain nor understand. These two disciples knew something had happened, but it was beyond their level of faith to see things as they truly were.
Just because they knew about Jesus does not mean they knew Him. Just because they could see Him does not mean they could see who He was. Many people today know who Jesus is. They've heard about Him, they've read about Him, some have even read the Bible, but their eyes are blinded to the truth of who He really is. And as a result, they would not recognise Him if they saw Him. Their eyes have not been opened. Knowing about Him and knowing Him are two different things.
And that's where every single Christian once was, but by His grace, Jesus opens our eyes to see Him. A couple of weeks ago we looked at how God speaks to us today, and you'll remember that His prime means of speaking to us is through Scripture, which is precisely what He did on the road to Emmaus that day. Verse 27 says, "Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself."
We're not told the specific passages Jesus used, but we do know He used Scripture to show them how what we know today as the Old Testament all points to Him. The entire Bible can be summarised in just one sentence: It points us to Jesus Christ.
And just as He used the prophecies and promises of Scripture to teach our two travellers that day, so He continues to do the same with us today.
The Bible taught them and teaches us who Jesus is, why He came, and why it was so necessary. Jesus wants us to see that if we would only believe what the Scriptures say about Him, we would understand why He came and why He had to suffer. That's how we know who He really is, when we understand the reason He came.
The Bible is the written testimony of who Jesus is. And He still uses it today to open the eyes of those who do not know Him.
In Luke 16:31 He says, "If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead."
And in John 5:46, "If you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me."
Many people will try to tell you who Jesus is. They will tell you He is one of many ways to get to Heaven. They will tell you He was a good man, a great prophet, a good teacher, and a rebel who defied the Roman authorities. But take away what the Bible says about Him, and you will never have a proper understanding of who Jesus is. So long as the non-believing world disregards what the Word tells us about Jesus, He will remain a prophet and a good teacher, and nothing more.
That is one of the reasons why it is so important to believe the entire Bible. You either believe all of it, or none of it. If we are going to pick and choose the parts of the Bible that suit us and disregard the parts we don't like or feel are no longer relevant in modern society, we might as well just throw the whole thing away. If we feel it cannot be trusted on just one point, then we cannot trust any of it.
It is either all of God's Word or it is not His Word at all. When we get into the Bible and the truths it reveals, it builds our faith, and as it teaches us, we come to realise that it is only through faith that we come to Jesus in the first place. The truth of Scripture about Jesus leads to personal faith in Jesus.
There is a very good reason for what we are told in verse 16: "They were kept from recognising Him."
God prevented these two disciples from recognising Jesus to teach us a deep truth: Even if we were to see Jesus, we might still not believe. We have to learn to trust the testimony of the Bible. This is why we disregard or tamper with God's Word at our peril.
We need to get a grasp on Biblical truth in order to learn and understand who Jesus is. Romans 10:17 says, "Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ."
Outside of Scripture there is no reliable witness to who Jesus really is, simply because the Bible tells us the truth about Jesus.
And so the journey of discovery continues, because in verse 30 and 31 we're told that Jesus revealed Himself to them – and the setting was important too. They were sitting down to a meal with Him. It was only when they had fellowship with Jesus that He revealed Himself to them. Many of the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus were while people were sharing a meal. Even in the secular world, sharing a meal is not just about consuming food to fuel our bodies. It is about connecting with people. You can grab a bite to eat on the run, you can balance a tray on your lap while you stare at a TV screen or you can sit down for a family meal. Physically it makes no difference – you have to eat to survive, but when you share a meal with people and talk to them, you are having fellowship. You are investing in each other's lives. In much the same way you can give a nod of acknowledgement in God's direction and carry on with your own busy life, or you can stop what you're doing and have fellowship with Jesus. You can choose to invest your time and your efforts in Him, and when you learn to do that, He begins to reveal more and more of Himself to you.
It's in the intimacy of fellowship Jesus in spending time in prayer and in reading His Word that He reveals Himself to us. His working in our lives becomes clearer, and His provision and protection come more into focus. Of course, we'll never fully understand God and His purposes, and I'm very comfortable with that, but the more time we spend with Him, the more of Himself and His purposes for our lives He teaches us.
It's also interesting that once the disciples recognised Jesus, He simply disappeared from sight. What does that teach us? Quite simply, our trusting Jesus does not depend on seeing Him all the time, as much as we might like that to be the case, but rather we learn to trust Him by taking Him at His word. Just before the ascension, He told His disciples, "Surely I will be you always, to the very end of the age." So while we might not physically see Him, we know that He is with us, and that we can trust Him. In the person of the Holy Spirit, He is here in this place right now, and He is in our hearts too. Jesus is much closer to us than we'll ever fully understand.
But of course, that is not the end of the story. Look what happened to Cleopas and his companion: When they finally recognised Jesus, they could not help but share Him. When we begin to understand just who Jesus is and what He has done for us, by His Spirit He moves us to share the good news of salvation with others. When our eyes have been opened, we will want others to have their eyes opened too.
It was already evening – we're told that in verse 29, but verse 33 tells us that halfway through their dinner they got up and went straight back to Jerusalem to share the good news that Jesus was alive. By now it would have been dark and the roads were dangerous places to be in those days, especially at night, but that didn't stop them. The lesson for us here is that for many people it is almost evening. Time is running out, and this should fill us with a new urgency to tell others about Jesus. There is no time to lose.
You can sense their excitement: "Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
Are our hearts burning with excitement within us? Is your heart burning with excitement with you? If it isn't, ask God to give you a new passion and a new blaze of energy to share the truth of Jesus.
Their encounter with Jesus had been an emotional one. It had stirred them on the inside and moved their hearts. And once moved they could not help but share. They went back to the people they knew and loved, and told them, "It is true. The Lord has risen."
And for us today – those who have seen and experienced the risen Christ should be no different. We should not be able to contain it. In John 20 is the well-known account of Jesus appearing to Thomas and dealing with his doubts. The most important part of that account is where Jesus speaks to Thomas, but actually refers to every other believer through the ages: "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Do you believe that Jesus conquered death and is alive today? Then you are blessed!
Do you know Jesus this morning? Have your eyes ever been opened to who He is and what He has done for you? Do you know that He walks with you and talks with you? Can you testify to His presence in your life? Do you have fellowship with Him? Has your experience with Him been so real, so moving, so life-changing that it has caused you to tell others about Him?
You are on your own Emmaus Road through life. If you feel that you cannot see Jesus with you and that you don't understand what He is doing in your life, then ask Him. Trust me – He will answer you, because this is what His word tells us.
I close with a promise I've used often during the past couple of months, because it is so true: "I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you." (Jeremiah 29:11-14)
Homegroup Study Notes
Read Luke 24:13-35
The journey of the two disciples to the village of Emmaus reflects our own walk with God at times.
At first they were confused and disillusioned with God as (in their eyes at least) Jesus had failed in His mission to free the Jews from Roman rule.
How have you felt disillusioned or even let down by God?
Why do we go through times like this – times when He doesn't do what we feel He should do?
As we know, eventually the disciples realised just who the stranger was that joined them on their journey, but this did not happen immediately.
What is the significance of Jesus teaching them from the Scriptures first?
Why did He not reveal Himself immediately to them, and how does this apply to our lives today?
It is no coincidence that Jesus revealed Himself fully to them once they sat down for a meal.
What is the significance of this, and again, what does this mean to you?
We know from verses 29 and 33 that by now it would have been dark, but the two disciples, whose "hearts were burning within them" left immediately to tell the others that Jesus was alive.
What can we learn from this?
Close by praying that God would give each of us a burning desire to share the good news of salvation in Christ.

Hello lovelies, thank you for clicking in to read this.
My name's Felinda. You can call me Bling. Why bling? (Please don't ask anymore) It all started with my liking SHINee (kpop boy group) and this member called Jonghyun. For some reason, his nickname was Bling Bling Jonghyun. Then I noticed that some people are changing their facebook names so I, too, joined them and changed mine to Felinda Bling. It then got stuck. End of story.
I'm not anorexic, I do eat. I'm skinny because of my genes. Please don't ask me what do I do to maintain my figure cause I actually eat a lot.I hate vegetables and I cannot live without meat. My favourite food is rice because I am a typical asian like that. Also, I love bread. I have to either eat bread or rice everyday.
I'm currently studying to become an interior designer. So please be nice to me if you intend to get your house designed. I might be your designer HAHA I keed.
My favourite colour right now is black and white. I also like neon and pastel colours. I'm a sucker for cute stuff like My Melody, My Little Twin Starts, Hello Kitty, Eeyore (from Winnie the Pooh) & Totoro. Right now, I'm a fan of Super Junior's Mr Hyuk Jae and Big Bang's GD. I also like EXO (Kai & Krissss) but I'm not a super fan. I mean, who don't like hot and cute guys? Unless you're a straight guys, I guess. HAHA ok not funny. I hate people who are too noisy (especially children) and people who are always late. Of course, I try my best to not be late as well. Oh, yes. I seem outspoken here but in real life I'm a terrible introvert which explains why I have so little friends.
I'm good in bed. I can sleep in for the entire day without having to eat anything. My talent is to make disgusting cutesy baby doll voice that freaks my friends out. Also, I love imitating other people's voices. I get high when I'm sleepy. I am very accident prone and have the ability to trip on my own foot. Lastly, I'm actually good in remembering people's faces and names so please don't be shocked if I know who you are. I'm not a stalker. I just happen to be able to remember faces quite easily.
If you've read every word that I typed, I'm amazed and thank you very very much for your time.
I heart you all.

Remember or Rebel
They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea - the Red Sea. - Psalm 106:7 (NKJV)
It's Thanksgiving week again! For many of us it means eating our favorite comfort foods, a weekend in sweatpants, and countless moments of awkwardness as we gather with family we love and those we "love with the love of the Lord". Most importantly, this is a time to remember, reflect, and declare what God has done. But we can't be truly thankful for what He's done if we don't remember what He's done.
We all fall prey to forgetfulness. It's human nature. Psalm 105:5 (NLT) tells us to, "Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given."
Even David had to remind himself of God's goodness. He writes:
"Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle's!"
Psalm 103:1-5 (NLT)
God's own people, the children of Israel, often did a two-step shuffle with God. With one step they would remember, and the next step they rebelled. God would show up mightily and do a miracle and they'd rejoice. Then, there would be times when they encountered a place where they needed a miracle and they would regret where God led them. Psalm 106:7 (NKJV) says, "They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea - the Red Sea." God had just delivered them from slavery and brought them into wealth through signs and wonders. But they quickly forgot this when they were faced with the Red Sea and Pharaoh's army pursuing them. They began to complain and say it would have been better if they died in Egypt. They rebelled. They didn't want to go any further with Him.
If we're honest, we're a lot like the children of Israel. Life is tough sometimes. Negative circumstances can blur our view and bruised hearts often distort our memory. But let's remember today and always that God is faithful. Let's remember that He hasn't forgotten us. Let's remember that He's saved us from sin and death. Let's remember that He's come through time and time again. Let's remember that everything good in our lives comes from Him. And when there's a Red Sea in front of us, an army chasing us, and we feel trapped, let's remember He's the one that led us there. This holiday season, let's choose to keep going with Him even when it seem like we're going nowhere. By faith and His outstretched arms, the waters will part.
I hope our turkey is moist, our Mac and Cheese is crispy around the edges, and the gravy flows like the land of milk and honey, but above all I pray we remember all that God has done. For He is good and His unfailing love continues forever.

FPI; TEI.2 element; and article for comment
Arjan Loeffen <[log in to unmask]>

Mon, 25 Nov 1996 11:56:50 CST
(142 lines)
Dear reader,
A few questions/remarks on things I have not come to terms with:
1) The document element's name for TEI P3 documents.
2) Use of public identifiers.
(hope I haven't missed earlier postings on this) and an invitation:
3) Ref to HTML/PS article on semantic specifications.
If needed, reply on TEI-TECH, but this may be something for TEI encoders
to comment upon.
1) I'd like to hear how you think about the following. I guess most of you
simply use <TEI.2> as the document element for TEI texts. This is debated
I always construct my TEI documents with something like:
| <!DOCTYPE TEI.Prose PUBLIC "-//TEI//DTD TEI P3//EN" [
| <!-- tell tag set that document type name is TEI.prose -->
| <!ENTITY % n.TEI.2 "TEI.prose">
| ......invoke prose ..
| ]>
| <TEI.prose>.......</TEI.prose>
This seems a correct approach, as
A) a system may be able to process special constructs for prose,
while some other system may be tailored to process verse DTDs. It is
correct for a system to determine processing characteristics
required & expected based on the document element's GI (i.e. the
document type name).
B) a prose text is not of the same 'document type' as a verse text.
This must be expressed through document type names, and subsequently
through the name of the document element.
The TEI is not a DTD, but an 'enabling architecture', or set
of tag sets, for creating DTDs.
Now, in line with the approach advocated by the HyTime standard that
introduces 'architectural forms', systems may be instructed to take on
the processing semantics of the _architecture_ associated with the
document element (or any other element, for that matter).
The TEIform= attribute specifies that the document element is of the
'architectural form' "TEI.2", meaning that TEI.2 semantics apply to the
document even when named TEI.prose.
P3 specifies that the TEIform is introduced (only?) to tell the
application processor that some _renamed_ element X still
conforms to the TEI form Y.
| <TEI.prose TEIform='TEI.2'>.......</TEI.prose>
is implied, and
is largely intended by this. This seems a correct approach for
generalizing national alterations of element names.
I still do not understand why attributes are not deal with in the same
The question here is: does the TEIform attribute really apply to the
document element? If so, please share your considerations on this, and
if not, how must we adapt the P3 to reflect inherent differences between
prose, verse, drama, etc. (i.e. must the <TEI.prose TEIform='TEI.2'> be
removed?) Should this extend to the additional tag sets?
Here I assume element semantics doesn't change in different DTDs; they
may however in different _contexts_ (ancestor and other contextual
2) I have recently updated my TEI2.DTD and related entities to include
entity text by public identifiers. The distributed version uses system
identifiers. They are 'hard-coded': relocating a file could mean the TEI2
'web' gets broken. The regular way of avoiding this is the use of public
identifiers. I therefore advocate public identifiers -- for all parts of
the p3, not only for the TEI2.DTD entity itself.
I'll explain this. System identifiers are _not_ file names; rather, they
are named data objects, to be resolved by some data manager into entity
text, to be included, in turn, in the SGML document. That the data
manager is usually a file system, and that file systems usually support
a 'current path', is of no importance in distribution of (part of) an
SGML document.
The data could well be contained in a zip file, a relational
database, or the post office. This imposes --in my view-- a serious
problem when local but external data is to be included in a document.
<!ENTITY local.data SYSTEM "local.identifier" NDATA some.notation>
This may work fine on a file system, where local.identifier maps onto
a file name in the current documents path, but how about a relational
database where local.identifier is a key value, and the data manager
extracts the 'file' field from the relation? How do we port that?
Subsequently, each entity should be named such that _on any system_ the
individual entity references can be resolved to entity text. This
enforces, in SGML terms, the use of public identifiers for any part of
the P3; data entities can either be identified publicly, or by some
system identifier (see also side note above).
This calls for a P3 version formally structured though public
identifiers, and (still) informally mapped onto files in distribution
through a catalog file.
The catalog distributed as ftp://ftp-tei.uic.edu/pub/tei/dtd/fpi by
Michael and Lou doesn't physically upgrade the tag sets to the FPIs.
As far as I did web-crawl, anyway.
3) Finally, please feel free to comment on
This is an article on semantic specifications for SGML encoded
documents. It may be interesting to TEI encoders and -users.
Thanks in advance,

SAS is proving a popular way of drawing our yougsters in this age group together on alternate Friday evenings, to wind down, have fun, build friendships, and make connections between their lives and the Christian faith.
The aim is to help them discuss, challenge and find answers to some of the major issues facing them – as seen from a Christian perspective.
Our group now boasts its own Website and Facebook page, thanks to the efforts of our new and eager Webmaster, Johan Crocoll! We look forward to moves and merriment, to growth and grace, and to our retreat as well as the summer SAS camp.
Thanks to our Youth Worker, Calen Gayle, and the team of committed parents for heading up this group.

A French InvasionLet me first begin today with another of my little confessions.......as I work on things and learn from my mistakes, I attempt to put into practice some of the things I think will fix problems. Instead of little written notes, I started to keep a running page of activity on the computer, because little bits of paper go astray. Well, this time the software program I was keeping notes in decided to crash, and I hadn't saved (ah, ya just gotta love a Microsoft product for that kind of activity.......NOT). So, if you called in on Thursday and ordered some Big Kureyon in #8 and some Shinano in #10, I have the yarn set aside, but the crash took away my notes as to who it belongs to. Please slip me an e-mail and we'll be all better........my apologies! Now I think I'll institute hitting CTRL-S constantly!
Long ago, in a city far, far away.....OK, so it was Kansas City in the mid 80s....I admit it....I fell in love with Pingouin pattern books, especially the designs for babies. The concept of an entire layette set was awesome, and the slightly fashion-forward designs were very fun, instead of the overly-practical sacks that many US designers were turning out for wee ones. But Pingouin went the way of the do do bird, in a manner of speaking. It did get purchased, and it turns out it was by another French yarn company.......PHILDAR. While they produced a few more books in the 90s, they were never quite the same. But from the looks of things, the Phildar baby designs look to be pretty darned good.....let's check out the Tricotez calin that arrived last week, shall we? OK
So let's baby me......
Great color, great style....so far it looks like a winner. Most inside look like reasonable project, and the yarns look pretty substitutable if you can't find the specific ones the book calls for. The gauges appear to be pretty standard stuff, and the textures are fairly common, with the exception of the ribbon yarn used in a couple designs (but I'm sure there's other ribbons that would yield a similar result). On to the designs.
Cute and fresh, I really like the colors in this one. Decent gauge, slightly set sleeves. A winner! Below, a cute cardi and a nice jumper (you're on your own for the little patch in French--is that "three little peas?"...my French is 20 years old and I earned a big fat D at the time)
Pretty in pink
This is one of the ribbon designs...I'm sure there are good subs for it (and on the left there's actually two similar colourways used in stripes, but it's very subtle in finished effect). The yarn is Copacabana--easily found in a Google search, but all suppliers appear to be overseas. On the right, just a simple aran-weight blend.
Both of these use a fine-gauge superwash yarn, but at that gauge, there are several domestic choices for you, most with fantastic palettes to choose from, so subbing should be easy for these cute designs. Same for this onesie and booties
Terribly cute, especially with the differing stripes in stockinette and reverse stockinette. But I like the pram cover on the left, in this picture
Big fat yarn makes for a quick knit. And on the right, a cute little sweater in reverse stockinette with a bit of a denimy-washed look. FUN!
More of that same big, fat cotton (for the yoke and hood) and for the body, a cotton/acrylic blend in a multicolored yarn.
Cute little cardi on the left in a cotton blend, and on the right, check out the inset picture of the jacket--VERY adorable shaping, almost a swing coat.
Now that's an adorable hoodie.....at a decent gauge, so it would be fast. And below, there's more of that Copacabana ribbon for an adorable little dress
Two yarns are used for the little sleeveless dress on the left in greens/blues/yellows, and a chenille-like yarn on the right (cute button placket on the neckline on both sides, plus pocket front)
And last, more thick cotton on the left and a cute cabled number on the right in that same aran-gauge cotton/acrylic blend.
The designs cover sizes from newborn to two years old. All but one or two are sized up to 24mos, and only one or two stop at 18mos. The book runs $10.50 retail, so it's $9.45 from me. Media mail postage on it should be $1.42, so if you're NOT in Indiana, it's going to be $10.87 complete...to your door. (Indiana residents get to add that pesky 6% sales tax, for a total of $11.52). Drop me a note if you just have to have a copy. I know I'm keeping a copy for my personal library, and a couple have sold already, sight unseen, so I think there's seven remaining......and yes, there's English translation included in the deal.
Off to go do a photo shoot for the Fall 2003 book, which has some FAB designs in it (and English translations, also). And two of them are sold already......sight unseen. So there!

• what's your super power?
I think that everybody has some sort of super powers. When I was a kid, I used to be able to bend my thumb back so far, it would touch my wrist. Made the girls squeal. That's not a super power. That's just stupid. What I'm talking about are those things that we do every day, yet we don't even realize that hardly anyone can do them. If you're a creative, you probably know what I mean. You look at a composition and you can sense if it's wrong or right. You see color palettes or fonts like you'd recognize a friend walking down the street a block away. These are super powers.
I listed mine recently. Besides the obvious, "snarky mouth" and the private, "has ______ issues", I remembered that my "brain has a built-in light meter". (which used to save me some polaroids, but is now utterly useless) And my "Australian childhood" and "NYC later years" allow me to see life from two angles.
Let me give you an example. My last intern, Sri, was trying to figure out who he was, photographically speaking. Had a bit of a style crisis, you might say. I asked him to list his super powers. His first response was interesting. He said, "I'm Indian". Nothing could be more obvious. He was right. This super power allowed him to see and think on a whole different creative level. Growing up in India had affected his sense of color, his ideas of symbolism, even his taste in music affected his shooting eye.
Why not take a moment to write them down? Keep the list handy and edit it now and then. You'll find that it really will come in handy when you're in a creative mood. Send your list to me with a link to your work. I'd love to see it, maybe I'll post it here to your embarrassment.
...Which makes me think of another one – I have the power to freeze time.

Aim to spend no more than 20 percent of the total marketplace worth of your home on your kitchen remodeling project. The added price may well contain obtaining to get a permit from the city, as properly as the price for the contractor to acquire it – up to an added $800.
I liked the cost, despite the fact that the extras added up quick and price way much more than the approximately $two,000 advertised for a one hundred-square-foot model kitchen.

Soon after all, if you can count on far more in return the day you sell, you should anticipate a greater upfront expense.
