"Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands." Elisabeth Elliot
With the financial help of our church members and worldwide Christian Mission Partners, CCF Good Guys Henry and John were able to purchase and deliver a week's supply of pork, molida especial, salchicha Vienna, sliced turkey, chorizo, queso Oaxaca, eggs, bread, buns, donuts, media crema, cheese whiz and fish to our Christian home. Cancun Christian Fellowship purchases and delivers groceries to Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza every week.
"Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day." Sally Koch (think about this one)
The children's Valentine Party at Casa Hogar was Wednesday afternoon and WOW says it all. With the help of Jean, George, Amy, John, Kathryn, Sue, Guy, Pete, Karen, Nancy B, Cherilyn, Tom, Nancy M and her teachers and students, the party went off magnificently. The children had a wonderful time and John finished off the day helping Manuel with his homework. This is the team spirit that we often talk about…team members making the difference in the life of our children.
"In those times we yearn to have more in our lives, we should dwell on the things we already have. In doing so, we will often find that our lives are already full to overflowing." Jim Stovall
The fourth community bathroom is now complete and it is beautiful. It is a mirror image of the previously renovated bathrooms with the exception of special facilities for smaller children. We will be showing pictures in church this Sunday.
"Live an honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time." Author Unknown
We had a "how to and when" meeting with our contractor, Brian Schaffer, concerning the rescreening of the orphanage. We now have a solid plan and working agreement and the project will start the first week in March. To assure quality control, work will be accomplished in sections (by areas) with all doors being completed at the same time. If you were at the Valentine Party Wednesday, you know that the mosquitoes are a genuine problem.
"In the end, a person is only known by the impact they have on others." Jim Stovall
Our pre-church entertainment will feature Flip Pallot fly fishing for Pacific Tuna. This is a great presentation with plenty of action. Remember there is an OXXO next door to the hotel if you desire coffee, soft drinks or snacks while watching the show
"Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about." Winston Churchill (this is the best quote of the day)
Our lesson this week will be delivered by Mark Shook and is the sixth lesson in his series Red Letter Year. This has been a very enjoyable series and we know you won't want to miss this one. See you Sunday.
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." Dale Carnegie
The purpose of tithing, found in Deuteronomy 14:22-23 (NLT), is made clear: to "teach you always to love the Lord your God." By practicing good tithing habits, scripture tells us we are showing God our desire to put him first in our lives.
"No person was ever honored for what he received. He was honored for what he gave." Calvin Coolidge

On Friday, we brought Jonathan to town again when he said it was alright to go out.
We took a cab to Marina Square, had breakfast and decided to walk to the Helix Bridge since we've never been there. Before we set off, I thanked the Lord for good and perfect weather with little sunshine and God answered again :)
Jonathan absolutely loved the Helix Bridge because he could enjoy the sights of highrise buildings. Something that he loves very much. We walked through the Shoppes @ Marina Bay Sands, passed by the Casino (with a very smokey entrance). We went to Marina Bay Sands Hotel and wanted to go up to the Sky Park but it was closed for a private function (and we found out that it was closed for some parachute jumping through the New Paper). We ended our outing at the Esplanade having tea and when we got home, Jonathan was just absolutely a-okay!
Thank you Lord for your constant healing over Jonathan's body. I believe that we will see more good things in 2012. Today is just the first day but I'm already very excited and planning for our next day trip and perhaps...in the new future...another hotel stay.
Happy New Year to all. And I leave you with some photos that were taken on Friday, 30th:
this was the first picture I took after entering the Helix Bridge. I just love the city skyline.
This is the stretch of the Helix Bridge. It looks like this now but at night, it's filled with lights. We have yet to go there at night.
You can see the smile on Jonathan's face because he got to see all the high rise buildings.
this was taken when we stood in front of the Art & Science Museum. They were showcasing the Titanic Exhibitions but we didn't want to go.
That's the "hand" looking Art & Science Museum.
On the way to the sky Park, we had to walk through the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Looking up from the ground, they are hotel rooms.
Before we reach the Hotel, we had to pass the Casino. It was really smokey.
That's the entrance. I saw a young man holding a stack of $50 notes about 2cm thick entering the casino!
At the Shoppes @ Marina Bay Sands, there was a mini "Venice" where shoppers can rent a boat and "sail" through this short canal.
See the people queuing on the left. The boats were paddled by staff.
Before we left Marina Bay Sands via the Helix Bridge, I just had to take this picture.
And finally... a close up of the Singapore Flyer. Another attraction we haven't been on yet. As you can see, the Lord gave us perfect weather. Breezy and no sunshine :)
Thanks for dropping by :)

GOJ endorses Jamaica-Brazil Chamber
The Jamaica-Brazil Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism (JBCC), founded on July 1, 2008 in Sao Paulo, Brazil has now been endorsed by the Government of Jamaica.
The endorsement is crucial to the recognition of the legitimacy of the Chamber's operations by the Brazilian authorities, Jamaica's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade said in a statement.
The Chamber is headed by its founder and president, Donovan Mark McFarlane, a graduate of Cornwall College, Montego Bay, St. James.
An educator by profession, McFarlane has dedicated more than 10 years to voluntary missionary work, lending his expertise to education by serving in Japan, England, Poland, Peru and Brazil under the auspices of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, the statement said.
It said the Jamaica-Brazil Chamber was created with the fundamental statutory objective of promoting the common interests of its members in developing and maintaining commercial, cultural and tourism activities between Brazil and Jamaica.
The Chamber further seeks to provide informational resources pertinent to networking opportunities that foster investment and cross-cultural exchanges as a means of contributing to improved understanding and goodwill between the two nations.
Although the Chamber functions independently of the Jamaican government, it enjoys the patronage and support of the Jamaican Embassy in Brazil, the Ministry said.
"Nonetheless, Mr. McFarlane is committed to ensuring that the Chamber, under his leadership, works closely with the Mission to accomplish the desired objectives," the Ministry added.
JBCC is expected to commence operation in early December 2012 following an inaugural ceremony in Sao Paulo.

Conde Nast Traveler Magazine recently voted Hilton Head Island the best island in the U.S. Welcome!
Four bedrooms and four and a half baths make this beautifully furnished beach house a perfect gathering place for extended family, golf and tennis groups, or that 'Big Chill' vacation with old friends. The 2400 square foot villa overlooks a heated swimming pool with hot tub, and is just a few steps (four minute walk) to the well maintained Folly Field Road beach access.
Adirondack chairs greet you on the front porch, ready to help you relax as you enjoy the semi-tropical island landscape view. The first floor offers a great room with TV/VCR/DVD, Time W arner Cable with DVR, and lots of games, puzzles and books to keep you entertained when you've had too much sun. A sleeper sofa provides extra bedding for a large group.
The spacious kitchen is well stocked with all of the cookware and dishes you will need to make you feel right at home. The dining table seats eight, with two additional bar stools at the kitchen counter. Wi-Fi is provided, for those who must keep connected with the real world while they are in paradise. The first floor bedroom offers a King bed and private bathroom with shower and tub. A half bath and large laundry room complete the first floor.
Upstairs is a loft with sleeper sofa and another TV/VCR/DVD. It is a perfect gathering space after a day at the beach or on the golf course. The three upstairs bedrooms are configured with their own bathrooms. One King bed and one room with Twin beds provide sleeping for two in each room. Two Queen beds in the fourth bedroom provide sleeping for a family of four. The king room has its own TV/VCR. Ceiling fans in every room help keep the indoor temperature cool.
An outdoor shower, carport for four vehicles, and gas grills add to the convenience of this home.
Play the Port Royal golf courses without leaving the plantation. Walk to the Port Royal Tennis Club, where you have privileges for a nominal fee. Walk to the Westin Hotel or the European Health Spa at Marriott's Barony Beach Club for some pampering. Listen to the birds or view the turtles in the lagoon. There is plenty of relaxing waiting for you!
If our calendar shows that we are booked the week you would like to travel, we will be glad to refer you to one of our neighbors with a similar villa.

text: Chemists get a reputation as humourless, soul-destroying trolls that hide under bridges and kill any hope that wanders by. It is therefore quite pleasing to see a thin layer chromatography firm depart from the stereotype and show a sense of humour in this clip that is in fact an extension of a famous Monty Python skit. The cinematography and acting are very good for this sort of thing so it must have been a labour of love for the owners of the company.

A comprehensive guide to how an individual can help themselves resolve a wide variety of ordinary, everyday life problems and improve their mental health. 'This is an extensive collection of self-help material, which has been written to provide resources to complement self-exploration or professional counselling. The knowledge has been built up through years of working in the field of mental health, listening to patients, and searching for the materials that could make a difference. The skill is in how the handouts have been put together to be easily accessible and helpful, and in a format that allows flexibility and tailoring to the individual. The attitude of current evidence-based guidelines is to support a range of self-help approaches and talking therapies to enable people to achieve better mental health, rather than turning to drugs. This is therefore a most welcome tool from which patients will benefit, and indeed, we could all use to help us achieve a better life/work balance and feeling of well-being.'- Dr Patricia Donald, MBE

To George Washington from Alexander Hamilton, 8 May 1793
From Alexander Hamilton
[Philadelphia] 8th May 1793.
The Secretary of the Treasury has the honor to submit to the consideration of the President of the U. States a communication from the Commissioner of the Revenue of the 6th instant1—respecting a contract provisionally entered into with Moses M. Hayes for a further supply of Oil for the Light Houses.2 It is respectfully conceived that the arrangement is in every view eligible.
A: Hamilton
1. Tench Coxe's letter to Hamilton has not been identified, but GW's executive journal indicates that the president received this letter on 9 May (JPP, description begins Dorothy Twohig, ed. The Journal of the Proceedings of the President, 1793–1797. Charlottesville, Va., 1981. description ends 133).
2. On 27 April 1793 Bostonians Moses Michael Hays and John Coffin Jones agreed to furnish 14,000 gallons of oil "fit for the use of the Light Houses in the Northern & Eastern states in the Winter Season—at the rate of ninety five Dollars for every two hundred & fifty two gallons" (DNA: RG 26, Lighthouse Deeds and Contracts). On 16 May, GW approved this contract and returned it to Hamilton (ibid., 141).

Today I received a special note, just for me.
Jane is one special girl.
She is almost 4 years old.
Her and Jack would have been the best of friends.
(they were due a week apart)
And when I look at her or hear how she is doing, I am reminded, that's about where Jack would be right now.
It hurts sometimes thinking about Jack and how he would now be in Primary, going to preschool, riding a bike, playing in the snow and learning to be independent.
But when I look at Jane, I am also reminded that my little boy is doing the work of the Lord.
He was chosen to stay behind and watch over us from above.
And that makes me happy.
Jane reminds her mother everyday to pray for me.
She never forgets.
And even though I don't get to spend as much time with Jane as I would like or maybe I should...
I am so lucky that this sweet, little spirit prays for me.
I know her and Jack know each other...
and one day, they will meet again.

Coming just days after the specifications were leaked regarding the upcoming Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe; we now have the first renderings of a Black Series version of the famed Mercedes-Benz come to light. A designer from Wild-Speed has released his interpretation of the upcoming black series, and it's not too bad. According to the renderings, the rear sports an aggressive look with the diffuser and quad AMG-style pipes.
The specifics regarding power source are unclear and it remains to be seen if this ride will get the 5.5-liter twin turbo engine or a higher tuned version of the 6.2-liter M156 V8. Stay tuned for the latest about this upcoming car and many more.

"Cindy was a warm and friendly person, who helped to support me through a particularly difficult phase in my life. She was able to listen and help me work through thoughts and feelings, as well as offering and helping me to practice some practical techniques that were useful to my specific issues at the time and also further down the line. I found her commitment to our sessions very reassuring, both in the interest she took in understanding my struggles and the preparation she brought with her to the sessions as well. The space she gave me really was invaluable."
"Cindy is very caring and supportive. Her sessions were always delivered at a pace I found comfortable. I always felt that I could draw a close on a subject if I felt I needed to.
She guided me throughout my time with her. She did not carry me, but gave me the awareness and tools to think for myself and about myself. She made me re-evaluate my relationships with friends, family and colleagues but most importantly with myself.
She contributed greatly to positive change in me & my behaviour."
"I first came to see Cindy as a result of a painful relationship break up and the first thing that was apparent was how relaxed and at ease she made me feel.
Prior to meeting Cindy, I had several initial consultations with other counsellors, just to see if I felt comfortable talking with them. Despite the other counsellors being warm and professional, I didn't feel as though I would connect with them in the same way that I would with Cindy. That was my initial motivation for choosing Cindy as my counsellor.
I saw Cindy for a period of several months and benefited enormously. She was a great listener and gave me many tools and ideas to work with, many of which I would write down in my journal as a reference.
I couldn't recommend Cindy enough. She has a way about her that makes it easy for you to share your thoughts and emotions. It is not easy finding the right counsellor and in Cindy, I found the right counsellor."

Vibes and scribes
I love to discover new crafty shops. It's that entering the unknown, wondering if it will be one of the good ones or if it disappoint. Well I found a new shop yesterday in Cork city called Vibes and Scribes. It did not disappoint on entering. The original shop was a bookshop, however, now they have a huge craft supply area, catering for every craft imaginable. There are still books of course. I don't think I have ever seen so many craft books in one place. There is also another area which sells fabric and ribbon. A treasure trove! You will find them on Lavitts Quay in Cork or at www.vibesandscribes.ie

Google Maps on iPhone adds parking reminders, Directions widget, iMessage app/
Google Maps for iPhone (free) has a new feature that's been in Apple Maps for a while; the ability to set parking reminders automatically or manually.
Those who are using Apple CarPlay or the like to pair to a car via USB or Bluetooth should find that Maps places a pin on a parking location automatically when a phone is disconnected. If that doesn't work for you -- say, the parking location is never accurate enough -- you can disable autosave through the options on the blue dot that marks a user's current location.
Manual addition of a parking spot is done by tapping on the blue dot or by adding a red "pin", then tapping on the menu at upper right to "Set as parking location".
In addition, there's now a new "Directions widget" that provides users with directions right on the lock screen (see image above). With a tap, both the starting and ending locations can be entered, then the lock screen widget shows the next step in directions to the destination.
Finally, Google Maps also added an iMessage app that gives users the ability to share their current location while in the Messages application.

Hi there
for all those wondering why I was so quiet the last weeks, here's one of the reasons: I added another education program and may now call myself a Certified Primal Health Coach.
To the dozens of books read, the studies to the Certified Primal Expert programm a couple of years ago, I have now added another education programm. With tests and all that you can imagine. Which is great news as reading and understanding are known to be two different things. I am aware that people are fond of certificates, being a proof of education, even if – in my case – personal experience is a good proof as well. Now you know that the things I write about are learned and studied and UNDERSTOOD. This was, of course, already the case as a Certified Primal Expert, but now I officially have the right to coach people into primal, healthy living, if they not only want to live, but also want to thrive.
I hope you were not too disappointed not to read from me for such a long time – it was for a good cause.
Now, what is a "Primal Health Coach"?
A health coach educates, motivates and guides people toward lifestyle and behavior choices that support optimal well-being. A Primal Health Coach offers an integrated approach, helping others create lives of maximum vitality using nutrition and fitness intelligence based on scientifically validated ancestral health principles. The aim of the Primal Health Coach is to help you extract the most joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment from your lives by focusing on your values, needs, visions and goals in an extremely personalized way.
Thank you so much for your patience!

As per usual, I find myself a little blogged out at the end of a series of tournament that required tons of blogging. As a result I'm going to make this quick.
I got off to a terrible start on Day 2, despite being at a great table. I had 19,000 when I looked at my first hand of the day and at the end of that hand I had about 14,000. Not what I was hoping for!
It was all down hill from there. I won a few small pots here and there, but after close to two hours I was down to 5,000 chips playing Omaha with 400/800 blinds. On my final hand I found myself all in on the turn. Another player was also all in and when the two of us and a third player turned up our cards I saw that if I could hit a heart (any heart - amazingly there was no low draw and neither of my opponents had a full house draw that would be completed by a heart) I would scoop the entire 20,000 chip pot. A black river card put an end to my tournament.
I finished about 170th of 827.

Books & Abigail go together like chocolate & peanut butter, paper & pencil, & Justin & Britney. Boo...they don't go together anymore...but they always will in my heart. Especially when they wore these matching ensembles.
I caught the reading bug early. One of the many wonderful qualities my Mom has/had was letting us have fun, taking us fun places & always having fun things planned. Hmmm...I wonder why I like to have so much fun all the time. Between painting homemade Christmas ornaments to cooking heart shaped pancakes, we did it all with her. Including going to the library every week in the summer for story time. My favorite. I still remember our librarian, Golum. He was a short, sweet man from India who loved books, reading & passing that on to children. I could sit for hours at the library and listen to him read. I think he is a big part of why I became a teacher as well; I love reading SO much & want to pass that on to my littlest readers. My earliest loves were The Boxcar Children, Sweetvalley High, Goosebumps, and every 10 year old girls' favorite...The Babysitter's Club. Oh, I wanted to be tall & blonde & a fabulous babysitter just like Stacey. But I also wanted to be the President like Kristy...even though she was a tomboy who never had a boyfriend. SOOO not me.
Just like I don't discriminate with my love of different kinds of music (see "I'm the last person on earth" post), the same goes for books. Fiction, non-fiction, biography, self-help, I love it all. And I get attached to books and characters very easily. When I finished The Notebook, I literally felt physical pain that I wouldn't be reading more about Noah & Allie's lives. Same goes for the Twilight, Hunger Games, & Dragon Tattoo series. I guess that is the sign of a good author...your readers laying in bed at night wishing there were just 10 more pages to read. It's also a very good sign if your readers refuse to let anyone borrow their books & consider them sacred & unable to be touched by anyone but them. Ok, I know that is over the top. But thank you for giving me Bella & Edward, Stephenie Meyer.
I love the smell & the feel of books. I love the satisfaction you get when you finish one & you can tuck it away somewhere in case you ever want to read it again.
When the Nooks, Kindles & ipads came out, I slowly started seeing my book-loving friends & family transition over. I thought they were down-right despicable. How COULD they do that, just cheat on books like they never even mattered?! What about all of the good years books had given them? What about the laughter, tears, & late nights reading with a flashlight in bed?! What did books ever do to them?! When my friends would say, "You know Abigail, you should try out (insert technology here) sometime." I would smile & say, "Yeah, maybe"...while secretly judging them with daggers in my book loving heart. Devin finally stopped asking if I wanted a Kindle for Christmas because he was tired of my dirty looks & mumblings of "never gonna happen."
That all changed last week.
DC was doing what he does best at 7:30, sleeping. This is usually the time that I either 1)online shop 2) stalk people on the internet or 3)read. But strangely enough, our new ipad was staring me down & I didn't have a new book at the moment to stop me. Uh oh.
After much internal deliberation, I impulsively grabbed it & searched for a book that one of my friends had recently suggested, Gone Girl. She said it was twisted, creepy, & a page-turner. All great criteria for a new Fall read. I found it and thought, "No harm in just reading the sample." Uh oh, again.
Like a lot of new things I try out, I LOVE it. I feel free! Reading on the elliptical? Piece of cake. No more awkward holding of the book/trying to turn the page/while running, shennanigans going on. It's so thin & sleek, I can carry it anywhere! And, I can easily drink my coffee while holding it on my lap AND read at the same time. Cha-Ching.
Will I stop reading real books now? Heck no. They are a part of my soul, like my Sunday naps & yearly trips to the beach. Do I feel bad for cheating on my beloved? Yes. But, I like to make new friends & I hope one day my books will understand. They will always be my first love anyway.
So, I would like to publicly apologize to my friends & family for silently judging you & your new found reading tools as well. When you are sorry about something, you say it.
I'll leave you by singing a quote from the ever-popular 1980s (or 70s?) show, Reading Rainbow.
"Take a look, it's in a book..."
Or an ipad.
Peace, love, & happy reading.

Sleevehead: London: Foster & Son, Anderson & Sheppard, Norton & Sons and Gieves & Hawkes
London: Foster & Son, Anderson & Sheppard, Norton & Sons and Gieves & Hawkes
In late February I visited a number of cities (London, Paris, Vienna, Rome, Florence and Naples) primarily to research a few critical items for a book project. I shall roll out my commentary on each city in that order. The first city was London and my first stop there was Foster & Son.
Foster & Son
I dropped by in the mid-afternoon for an appointment with Foster's principal lastmaker Terry Moore and chairman Richard Edgecliffe-Johnson. My purpose was both pleasure and business: to order a pair of punched captoe oxfords and to chat with Mr. Edgecliffe-Johnson.
What did I order? The lovely punched captoe model on display in the showroom (from 1954!) with slightly antique finishing and fitted waist. The measurements took just 20 minutes and involved the following: an outline/tracing of my feet while standing up and several measurements taken of each foot.
Terry also examined each foot by hand and made some remarkably astute observations about my feet and the way I distribute my weight when I walk. It goes without saying he's a highly skilled and experienced cordwainer whose eyes and hands can make some startlingly accurate inferences about his customers. I also learned that Terry will make a separate last for slip-ons (at least in my case since I have fairly bony feet).
Back in the day, Terry used to travel quite extensively when he worked for Peal until around 1965 – twice yearly in the US to a dozen cities or more including NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, New Orleans and also Japan.
Afterwards both Terry and Richard kindly took me upstairs for a tour of the workshop and a fascinating discussion of Foster's history and the history of London shoemaking. One of their projects is to search back into the archives and pull out interesting historical material. For instance, Richard mentioned finding a 1901 West End Bootmakers' Association membership list mentioning some 52 bespoke shoemakers in London at the time. Today that membership list reaches a grand total of just four: Foster, Cleverley, Lobb and James Taylor (who specialize in orthopaedic footwear).
Times have changed in terms of the craft as well. As of today, there is no true trade school for lastmaking in the city. In the past, the Cordwainer's School served this purpose. Terry graduated from this school but today it is folded into the London College of Fashion and is focused more on the design rather than the craft aspect. Richard also mentioned that Foster would be introducing an Edward Green line (with specially designed lasts if I heard correctly).
In my tour upstairs, I met Emma (pictured above) and another young fellow (Micky I believe was his name), two of Terry's pupils and current lastmakers.
All in all, this was quite an enjoyable visit and set of conversations. Thanks to Terry Moore's expertise and experience, Foster has trained and developed a young and capable team of cordwainers and, equally important, the firm is led by a dedicated and enthusiastic management team. My thanks to them for sharing their stories and work with me.
Anderson & Sheppard
Before my visit with the direct heirs of the Scholte cut, I stopped by
to pick out some cloths from the Lesser 8/9 oz tropical book, adjust a pair of trousers and to chat with Will, one of the younger cutters at 8 Savile Row. We both had a good laugh regarding one scene in the BBC documentary on Savile Row. But it was a quick stop because I needed to visit Anderson & Sheppard.
Conventional wisdom says A&S embodies the old, stuffy Savile Row – rather formal and intimidating. Nonsense. My visit late this afternoon was quite the opposite and all the more noteworthy because it was unannounced and unscheduled (as actually all of my visits were on this trip save Foster above). They had no idea who I was and whether I intended to be a customer or not. Despite that, they were quite accommodating and I enjoyed chatting with Colin Heywood and John Hitchcock. There was a buzz of activity when I arrived due to the regular run of business but also because the final episode of the BBC documentary on Savile Row had just aired.
Hitchcock graciously offered to show me the workroom which is one of a kind on the Row now that workrooms are being moved systematically to the basement level. The room used to be a conservatory when the building was a residence. Hence it enjoys the fall of natural light through the skylight. Looking around, I have to agree that it is indeed a marvelous room to cut and sew clothes together.
Note how high and tightly cut those armholes are on Mr. Hitchcock's colleague above.
Heywood did an excellent job explaining the A&S cut by taking down the window mannequin (with the grey flannel jacket). For those who favor the soft round shoulder, A&S has historically been the tailor of choice should you be based in London. In the interests of equal opportunity, I should mention that
Thomas Mahon
Steve Hitchcock
and Edwin DeBoise of
- all A&S trained - also merit a serious look for those requiring the soft tailoring approach.
Times have indeed changed with regard to flexibility to customer requirements. Flexibility is certainly part of the offering these days. Plys of padding may be added on request or due to a dropped shoulder (say two ply on a dropped shoulder). Lapel width can also vary though the width will be kept in proportion. The most distinctive jacket style according to Colin: the single-breasted jacket with 3-2 button roll through. I must say that grey flannel jacket on the mannequin had me seriously tempted to order an odd sports jacket that afternoon. But fiscal discipline prevailed that day.

W Magazine article (March 2008)
on Anda Rowland, vice-chairman of A&S
Norton & Sons
Gieves & Hawkes
Rounding out the day in Savile Row were two quick visits to Norton & Sons and Gieves & Hawkes. At Norton I chatted briefly with Patrick Grant, who appears in the BBC documentary. Norton's suit production is just 200 suits per year, which allows them a firm handle on quality. He was a bit short of time as they were preparing to go to Brussels the next day for two major customers.
From our conversation, I gathered that the Norton cut is somewhere between Poole and Huntsman. Back in the 1970s, John Grainger was the head cutter and now John Kent and David Ward have assumed that role. Kent is one of the most experienced cutters on the Row – some 40 years of experience and a trusted source for other tailors. Example: Another tailor asked for his advice on making an Inverness cape as he had not made one for more than ten years.
Final stop of the day was Gieves & Hawkes, which has focused in recent years on its RTW business by the look and feel of its retail space. It was near closing time when I met John Blanco, general manager. But I did manage to examine a bespoke morning coat on a mannequin, which looked solidly constructed. G&H offers a selection of 25,000 cloths and are in the process of redesigning the layout of their bespoke department. In my next visit, I plan to email ahead to schedule a one hour appointment for a proper tour.
The next city on my itinerary was Paris where I had some fascinating discussions with a couple of scions of the Parisian tailoring scene (Camps de Luca and Cifonelli). Hope to write that blog entry shortly.

Reuters reports on an article from the May issue of Cancer Cell Magazine about Australian company EnGeneIC's plans to more precisely target chemotherapy.
The method involves using antibodies on their surface of bacteria-derived nano-cells to target and latch on to cancer cells. Once attached, the nano-cell is engulfed and the chemotherapy drug is released directly inside the cancer cell. This has the advantage of ensuring that the chemotherapy drugs don't affect any bodily tissues other than the tumor(s).
The EnGeneIC delivery vehicles have proven safe in primate trials and resulted in significant cancer regression, and the company hopes to carry out human trials later in 2007 if it gained approval from Australian, U.S., European and Japanese regulatory authorities.
This is good news for all cancer sufferers. Current chemotherapy techniques involve flooding the body with toxic chemicals, much of which poisons the healthy body tissues instead of the tumor. Additionally, current methods use more chemotherapy drugs than would otherwise be necessary due to the fact that only a portion of the drugs reach the tumor site(s).

Today in The New York Times a story on the fluid religious life of Americans reports that "roughly 10 per cent of all Americans are former Catholics." The Roman Catholic Church has lost more adherents than any other group. Only the influx of Catholic immigrants have kept the over all numbers of church membership the same. Every Catholic family knows this problem firsthand. Relatives and friends have defected in droves, or should we say more neutrally, "they have moved on." But to what? No one is sure what is believed by the large group of no longer self-identifying Catholics. An older optimism might claim that "Once a Catholic, always a Catholic," but I don't think this is true any more. Returnees and later life reconciliations seem rare these days. The sex abuse crises seems to be a lethal blow to the Catholic allegiance of those who have left. It seems pretty clear that an older institutional model of the Roman Catholic Church is dying. Those of us still "hanging in" have to take solace in our resurrection faith: dying leads to new life. And now there is a new analogy to help in this period of travail and rebirth. I have just heard of "hospice theology." This image points to the need to give up false hopes, nostalgia and denial in order to help a dying patient. In a hospice approach to death you reject hostile anger over loss and charitably, patiently work to ease the pain and suffering of the transition for all. Yes, this sounds like what we need right now. I wonder if others agree? Sidney Callahan

I like this analogy of "hospice theology" because it is apparent that the institution is dying what seems to be a slow and painful death. However, we must not let adoption of this theology cause us to become lax in reform efforts. Besides offering comfort measures for a church which seems to be in a terminal stage, we must assume a "midwifery theology" and be ready to assist the rising of a new life.

Interesting concept - "hospice theology". So much talk and division around the liberal vs. conservative or kingdom vs. mission stances. Vatican II laid the foundation that the Church must change to address the times. Scripture basically are stories of change. And yet, we are a people that struggle with this concept. People like change; they just don't like to be changed. So, your hospice approach is appealing. As John XXIII said well - "we need a message of mercy and not of severity." As dioceses close churches & schools; confront sexual abuse & financial crises; continue to see vocations decrease we all need to reject anger and work together with patience and charity.

I don't know, Sidney. It seems that the illness is incurable, which is the underlying meaning of corruption. It ought to be clear to everyone by now that males alone are incapable of administering the Gospel in an institutional setting. I have no doubt that the Church will soldier on into the future, and yet is destined to go through this agony time and again.

Hmmm. Very interesting post. How do people define "Catholic?" As a college student (and student leader of our catholic group), I encounter a lot of my peers who were raised Catholic (baptized, eucharized, and confirmized!) but have largely rejected the Church since what I would consider the "age of reason," around 13 or 14 years old. This is one of the reasons I'm opposed to having first communion around 2nd grade. When you're 7, you don't really "know" what the concept of transubstantiation entails. In fact, a lot of the college students in our group remain ignorant of the Church's teachings on the subject. Even if it IS the body and blood without their acknowledgement, I think a better appreciation of the Eucharist should be instilled before reception. Then you have folks like my parents. They're both cradle Catholics, and have generally supported my work at UNC Asheville, but they have felt shut out of the Church because of 1) the abuse crisis and 2) the support of the bishops for denying certain Catholic politicians the Eucharist, effectively taking sides in a political election. In regards to the latter, they're not put off by the church's opposition to abortion, but they ARE disturbed by the clumsy and heavy-handed nature with which the bishops (esp. Rev. Burke) handled that scenario. It would probably take my being ordained to have them come back to the Church (and that's not happening, so don't bother emailing me). whew, I needed that. - Harry

North Korea conducts another nuclear test...
By Jon Herskovitz
SEOUL, May 25 (Reuters) - North Korea's apparent nuclear test on Monday could push the reclusive state deeper into isolation, while giving leader Kim Jong-il a boost at home and forcing the United States to make Pyongyang one of its top policy priorities.
* The test is one of North Korea's biggest provocations, which could mean its recent cycle of sabre-rattling will slow down. This could mean any harm done to regional financial markets in the immediate aftermath of the test will be short-lived.
* The test could increase the security threat posed by North Korea if data indicates it has produced a better design for a nuclear weapon after its first test in October 2006 was only seen as a partial success because of its low yield.
* North Korea will alienate China, its last major ally and biggest benefactor. It will likely be hit with further U.N. sanctions as a result because Beijing may not use its U.N. Security Council veto to protect Pyongyang, which will also take a hit financially for the large costs it takes to conduct a test.
* But since the isolated North may already feel the pinch from a tightening of existing U.N. sanctions called for in response to an April rocket launch, it may believe the economic damage that would come after a nuclear test would not deal too heavy a blow to its already wobbly economy.
* North Korea will likely restart all of its Yongbyon nuclear plant, which provides the state with arms grade plutonium and was being taken apart under a disarmament-for-aid deal among the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States.
It will take about a year to restart the entire plant, experts say, which can provide it with enough fissile material each year for one nuclear bomb.
* The North said last month it had restarted its facility at Yongbyon that separates plutonium from spent fuel rods cooling at the plant, which could eventually give it enough fissile material for one more nuclear bomb.
* A second nuclear test depletes the North's meagre supply of fissile material, which experts say is estimated to be enough for six to eight nuclear weapons.
* A second nuclear test will be heralded by the North's propaganda machinery as a triumph for leader Kim Jong-il and his "military-first" policy. This will help Kim further solidify his leadership after questions were raised about his grip on power after he was suspected of suffering a stroke in August.
* North Korea will try to force the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama to recognise it as a nuclear weapons state and force him into direct talks. The North for years has used its military threat to squeeze concessions out of major powers

No mention on the yield of the device or whether we have been able to confirm it was a true nuclear-explosion.
How do you guys think this is going to play out?
Personally, I think we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to North Korea, despite the sabre rattling. By feeding their population we will continue to free up monies for their nuclear program which would otherwise have to be spent on food. I don't think we will apply any real pressure aside from a few angry words and promises not to lift any current sanctions. I don't think we have the backbone to pull our aid to the country and allow more people to starve in an effort to force a change in behavior.

I believe that this will also embolden Iran to continue down their own path because they have seen just how UN-united the world is. I am really concerned that these clowns are going to sell some of this material to a third party.

Right on time:
TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday ruled out nuclear negotiations with other nations, saying, "Iran's nuclear issue is over, in our opinion."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
At a news conference in Tehran, the hardline president also said that if re-elected he again will call for a debate with President Obama.
Ahmadinejad previously urged a debate with President Bush and offered to debate both Obama and Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain during last year's U.S. presidential campaign.
The Iranian presidential election is June 12.
"I will extend that invitation one more time, so that there and then at the United Nations headquarters, President Obama sits there at the table and discusses world issues management and the way toward peace," Ahmadinejad said, according to a live translation of his remarks.
Like the Bush administration, the Obama White House suspects that Iran is working to build nuclear weapons under the guise of a nuclear energy program -- an allegation Ahmadinejad denies.
But Ahmadinejad said Monday that Iran will operate "only within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency," the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
Any talks outside that agency will focus only on "management of world issues and establishment of peace and security, which is lasting for everyone in the world," Ahmadinejad said.
Speaking on a day that North Korea conducted a second nuclear bomb test in defiance of international warnings, Ahmadinejad was asked whether his country has cooperated with Pyonyang on nuclear efforts.
"There is no cooperation between us," he said. "We're opposed to nuclear proliferation; we're opposed to storing nukes. We have announced this repeatedly."
He added that he believes "countries like America are not able to manage the political atmosphere" surrounding such issues.
Apparently smuggled cell phones and wireless internet connections have given many North Koreans (near the border) their first real opportunity to receive un-censored information about the world and it is having a tremendous impact on the attitudes of the population. The Penalty for having one is death, of course.
John Bolton called it earlier this week, and Kim Jong-Il proved him right. This time, the North Koreans got their money's worth out of a nuclear test, setting off a device that produced a yield similar to that of the Hiroshima blast in 1945:
North Korea on Monday appeared to have detonated a nuclear device, its second such test in three years.
The U.S. Geological Survey said it detected a magnitude-4.7 earthquake in the region, and South Korea's Cabinet convened in an emergency session, according to Yonhap, South Korea's semi-official newswire.
Yonhap also said the North had confirmed the test.
Combined with the previous failure, the North Koreans have enough data to gain important technical improvements in their design. The Washington Times notes that the first failure practically guaranteed another test, regardless of the state of relations between Pyongyang, Washington, and the rest of the six-party members. The failure almost certainly threatened the lives of the people in the program, mainly for the embarrassment it showered on Dear Leader. Now they have proven their design upgrades, which means that Pyongyang can proceed on a path of arming itself — and enriching itself by proliferating the designs and the weapons to others.
How many bombs does Kim still have? Experts predicted that Kim only had enough plutonium for six to eight weapons before shuttering the Yongbyon reactor that produced it. After two tests, Kim has to be running low on bombs — or perhaps just plutonium devices. The six-party talks tried getting Kim to admit to working in parallel on highly-enriched uranium weapons, the same kind of bombs Iran is pursuing.
President Obama issued a cautious reaction, one that Kim will find much to his liking:
Today, North Korea said that it has conducted a nuclear test in violation of international law. It appears to also have attempted a short range missile launch. These actions, while not a surprise given its statements and actions to date, are a matter of grave concern to all nations. North Korea's attempts to develop nuclear weapons, as well as its ballistic missile program, constitute a threat to international peace and security.
By acting in blatant defiance of the United Nations Security Council, North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the international community. North Korea's behavior increases tensions and undermines stability in Northeast Asia. Such provocations will only serve to deepen North Korea's isolation. It will not find international acceptance unless it abandons its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.
The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants action by the international community. We have been and will continue working with our allies and partners in the Six-Party Talks as well as other members of the U.N. Security Council in the days ahead.
"Warrants action"? Well, I'd guess that the President wants another strongly-worded memo from the UN Security Council. After the last missile launch, China and Russia refused to agree to even that much until a lot of arm-twisting produced … a weakly-worded memo. We now have had three administrations pursue negotiations through the UN and through regional talks, mostly consisting of showering Kim with money, food, and fuel, and getting almost nothing concrete in return. Even Yongbyon's destruction, one of the few tangible results of the diplomacy, is in the process of being reversed.
We'll see if POTUS offers anything more emphatic in dealing with Pyongyang. Thus far, Kim seems remarkably unimpressed with the new American President, as do the Iranians. But hey, they're just tiny countries compared to the old Soviet Union, so they're not a threat … right?
The Israelis know how to deal with this problem. Strike hard, strike fast, and strike now. We will do none of those things, and it will be too late or...
we can destroy them now, and keep the death toll low. Kim has taken every cent we have given him, and turned it into weapons. NONE of that money went to feed his people, and the actual food he got, he sold for money to buy more weapons. NK HAS attacked first in the past. Kim is becoming impatient, as his plan for a "reunification" take over of the south is not working fast enough. Too many of those anti-war college kids he was preaching to have learned the economic lessons of the North, and they don't want any part of it. Not working. The invasion tunnels we discovered in the 80s didn't work either. Neither did the scuba teams that were blown out of the water. It's just one more tactic to try to capture the south. Now the nukes. He suddenly has a saber to rattle that is getting world attention.
...although, he may not like the "attention" he gets...
"....As far as "rights" are concerned... I look at them this way. I don't tell you what church to go to, and you don't tell me what kind of firearm I can own." GROG
If gun control laws controlled crime, we wouldn't need cops.
Not to sound like a "Pollyanna" on this subject...but the silence is deafening.
And it gets worse...
North Korea has just put a short range missile on a launch pad.
If I'm not mistaken, Iran is a client of North Korea, in the Nuclear Weapons Technology Department. Perhaps, as I heard it said on a program, earlier in the week, Kim had to demonstrate to his client,Ahmadinejad, that he could produce a weapon, if he was to have any hope of keeping his customer.
If I were living in Japan, South Korea, or even Alaska, I would be concerned about the future capabilities of North Korea. Even though we could annihilate North Korea, how many of our citizens or those of our allies would have to die first? Do we dare think of preemtion? It's probably not even on the table but what's wrong with putting it there as one of our options?
Iran needs to be dealt with yesterday. It will be inexcusable to allow them to have a nuclear capability and the means of taking out any country, in the Middle East, particularly Israel, a country that they have already made it perfectly clear that they would like to wipe off the map.
For those who say it is hypocritical to have an attitude of nuclear exclusion as relates to North Korea and Iran, when countries who have the capability are voicing these concerns, I say; would you give a schizophrenic an AR 15, loaded with a fully loaded magazine and send him out onto a city street? We can't allow these two countries, with their moronic leaders to make the world any more unsafe than it already is, but I doubt that the leaders of our country or any other country, in the western world, will face the problem, in any meaningful way, until large numbers of people die at the hands of these fanatics.

text: New Delhi:India-Pakistan relations are "jatil" (complicated) and talks and terrorism cannot go together, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Sunday. But she told the media that there was "sehejta" (simplicity) in the chemistry involving Prime Ministers Narendra Modi of India and Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan. "This warmth and simplicity in relations between two Prime Ministers were never there in the past," she said. While pursuing with the commitment for friendship, the government won't compromise on issues of national security. India, she said, remained firm in its resolve that talks and terrorism cannot go together. The minister denied that South Asia was not getting adequate priority in the Modi government's foreign policy. "In the last two years, India has emerged as a strong supporter and a friend in crisis to neighbouring countries," she said, referring to New Delhi's help to Nepal during the massive earthquake of 2015. On the issue of threats to Hindus in Bangladesh, she said the Sheikh Hasina govermment had been taking adequate steps and had so far arrested as many as 3,000 suspects. "More than that, I feel happy to say that even Islamic leaders in Bangladesh have condemned such threats to Hindus in that country," she said.

Principles Of Design
Balance in design is similar to balance in physics. A large shape close to the center can be balanced by a small shape close to the edge. Balance provides stability and structure to a design. It's the weight distributed in the design by the placement of your elements.
Allows us to create order and organisation. Aligning elements allows them to create a visual connection with each other.
Contrast is the juxtaposition of opposing elements (opposite colours on the colour wheel, or value light / dark, or direction – horizontal / vertical). Contrast allows us to emphasize or highlight key elements in your design.
Proximity creates relationship between elements. It provides a focal point. Proximity doesn't mean that elements have to be placed together, it means they should be visually connected in someway.
Strengthens a design by tying together individual elements. It helps to create association and consistency. Repetition can create rhythm (a feeling of organized movement).
Space in art refers to the distance or area between, around, above, below, or within elements. Both positive and negative space are important factors to be considered in every design.
