"Jesus and justice go together" he said.
It's no news to me at this point, in some ways it's astonishing to me that this is still news to some of my brothers and sisters in the U.S. Church.
I forget sometimes that my journey into God's heart for justice is only a few years long.
I was in college interning with a nonprofit and watching Invisible Children with tears slipping down my cheeks into my cup of drink-to-do-good coffee.
I felt like I was going to change the world. I watched the documentaries, bought the t-shirts, wore the bracelets, walked 3 miles without shoes on, talked about it to anyone who would listen, sponsored a Compassion kid and drank my fair-trade coffee.
Wonder Woman had better watch her back. Now that Jesus had got ahold of me and instilled the call to "do justly, love mercy and walk humbly" on my heart, there was a new heroine in town.
That was about five years ago, and while sometimes I can still taste the tears and coffee on my lips, it mostly feels like another world to me.
Last weekend Mike Hogan of International Justice Mission spent the weekend sharing with our congregation about the work that IJM is doing – specifically to combat child sex trafficking around the world. I was devastated over and over again by the heartbreaking statistics and overwhelming, gut wrenching stories. I was encouraged by the glimpses of success Mike shared about IJM's work. But more than anything, I was dumbfounded at the ways that we've really missed the mark on justice as the U.S. Church and cheapened God's heart for justice by engaging almost exclusively in acts of mercy.
The Church in the U.S. loves to talk about starving children overseas, who need nutritious meals, access to education and clean water, roofs over their heads and mosquito nets around their beds. We're comfortable with that. We feel good about buying gifts out of the World Vision or Compassion catalogues – heroic almost. We sense that we've made some lasting impact as we pack our shoeboxes full of toothbrushes and coloring books to send to Samaritan's Purse.
And these are all good things.
But this is not what it means to do justice.
These are acts relief, mercy, charity. They are band aids on a hemorrhaging humanity. But what the world needs is reconstructive surgery to fix the severed arteries within.
I asked friends recently what they thought the difference between justice and mercy is and I got responses like this:
"Justice – getting what you deserve. Mercy- being given what you don't deserve as an act of kindness."
"[Mercy is] being spared what you actually deserve."
" Justice is being judged according to the law or standard set up. Mercy is not ignoring the law but granting pardon no strings attached."
None of these are terrible definitions, but I think our understanding of justice and mercy is largely incomplete and that this has incredible impact on the way we approach justice and mercy as the Church in the U.S.
In the Old Testament the word for "Justice" in Hebrew is Mishpat which denotes the "setting up" or establishment of propriety, fitting measures, customs and ordinances. That is to say, it is a way of existence that governs the whole person and the whole community.
"Mercy" on the other hand comes from the Hebrew word Checed which means goodness, kindness, loyalty. It also has roots in the ideas of shame and reproach. Which may seem out of place right now, but hang with me for a second.
Justice is a system. Mercy is an act.
Justice is the establishment of propriety. Mercy is loyalty, even in the midst of shame and reproach.
Justice is all things made right. Mercy is a response, a faithfulness, even in the midst of brokenness.
So often I hear Churches and para-Church ministries bill acts of mercy as ways to do justice:
Sponsor a child
Give someone a goat
Deliver Christmas gifts to children in need
These are acts of mercy, not justice.
These are ways we demonstrate faithfulness and kindness and loyalty to our brothers and sisters, and in the same breath, the existence of such needs are the reproach of the American Church.
The starving children in Ethiopia are a reproach to the lifestyle in which I consume three $5 pumpkin spice lattes in a week without batting an eyelash.
The ill-equipt farmers unable to sustain themselves and their families are a reproach to the most resourced limb of the Church pouring millions of dollars into building funds and high definition screens.
The thousands of people dying from lack of clean drinking water are a reproach to the Children's ministries who are more bent on competing with the fun-factor of Chuck E. Cheese than building the Kingdom of God.
We are called to be faithful to help alleviate the suffering we are complicit in, but that is not all we are called to do!
God also calls us to be people of justice.
Justice is when the people with power relinquish their privilege for the betterment of us all.
Justice is when we stop fearing that the oppressive systems of this world are too big to take on and remember that our God is bigger still.
Justice is demanding that all men, women and children be treated with the propriety of a being made in the image of the Invisible God.
Justice is hard. Justice is costly. Justice takes time, and sweat, and tears, and blood.
God's mercy said to us, make sacrifices, spill blood, keep festivals and fasts that God's wrath might be held back.
God's justice said, "IT IS FINISHED" as God took on all brokenness, all sin, all evil and turned the systems and powers of this world on their head.
You see, justice turns you into a freak and an outcast. It is not a stylish t-shirt or a cheeky bumper sticker.
Justice is when you stop seeking your safety and your betterment and your advancement and you start seeking the healing of the world and humanity as a whole.
When you are seeking justice, you stop seeking to be the hero – you serve the Hero.
Justice does not seek to maintain systems for the sake of having missions projects to complete or orphans to hug. Justice dares to dream of a world in which parents are empowered, resources are available, children are valued and there are no more orphans.
Justice does not seek to rescue and rehabilitate women and girls who have been exploited. Justice dares to dream of a world in which sex-trafficking and prostitution and pornography are no longer issues because women are inherently valued in this worlds as equal persons and men no longer stand, let alone pay, to watch them strip naked or rape them for profit.
Justice does not seek to boycott unethical companies and picket outside storefronts. Justice dares to dream of a world in which our business and trade industries are approached from the standpoint of "enough" instead of "scarcity." In which human life is no longer just another commodity to be bought and sold.
Justice dares to dream, but it does not only dream, it works to make dreams come true.
Mercy is a valuable tool, but if God's justice which restores humanity is not our ultimate goal, I question whether our acts of mercy are truly working for God's glory or for our own.
Because, if I'm honest, I want to be a hero sometimes. And there is no justice in that.
Act justly.
Love mercy.
Walk humbly.
These are paired this way for a reason. Our merciful acts may become the root of our pride, Church.
"Look what we have done! The children we have fed! The letters we have written! The Christmas gifts we have given!"
But have we challenged the powers that starved that child in the first place?
That imprisoned that young African-American boy?
That devastated that family's economy?
Do justice. Do mercy. Do not act as though they are synonymous.

I always keep miniature tea bags in the freezer….they are super handy for healing elements – bloody lip, surgical wounds, burns etc….I highly encourage all parents to do this. They've come in handy for me on more than one occasion.
I also always keep honey on hand. Mostly because it's delicious, and like tea bags it has very medicinal qualities. Local honey also helps with allergies..
So when Fisher burnt his thumb and aloe vera gel, burn spray and other chemical remedies failed to bring him relief, I created the ultimate home burn relief.
So for all families with tiny humans I thought I would share! I've also used this remedy on the husband when he burnt his hand grilling, it's pretty versatile.
Homemade Burn Remedy
1 dampened tea bag – mine are caffeinated black tea but any natural tea will work
Chilled wash cloth (optional)
Apply a generous dollop of honey to the damp tea bag and apply directly to the burn. You can wrap light gauze around it to hold it in place.
I wrapped a chilled wash cloth around the whole thing instead so it wouldn't get too sticky and it would provide a little extra relief.
You can change the bandage/tea bag out every four hours or so. If you opt in for the chilled wash cloth you may want to throw some extra in the fridge, these will warm up pretty quickly.
The best part is that both tea bags and honey are natural burn relief agents on their own, so of you have one or the other it should still provide relief.
*Disclaimer. I am not a medical professional I just share what I have found that worked for my family. Don't take my two cents as anything more than that. Use common sense.
Also, I am not knocking chemical based medical remedies – trust me, this Mama uses them! Especially after working out and my muscles are in need of some serious Bengay action.
However, I am finding that as we lead a more natural lifestyle there are home remedies out there that are overlooked and underestimated that actually work BETTER.

Welcome to Mary Ann's BBC Page
Dear Family and Friends:
Thank you for supporting our effort to raise funds for cancer research. 100% of the money you donate will support investigators at U.Penn's Abramson Cancer Center (our generous sponsors cover all administrative costs of the ride).
Penn will use the funds we raise to support young investigators who need data to qualify for larger NIH grants. Penn helps us identify these investigators through a rigorous vetting process. You can donate knowing your personal treasure will launch both a young scientist and potentially a new cure.
Our Team name ("T-Cell Trekkers") alludes to the T-cells in our blood; they fight infection every hour of every day. Penn scientists are developing techniques to alter the genes of these cells to turn them into cancer assassins. These procedures hold special promise for blood cancers like lymphoma (the type of cancer I have). We ride to honor the mighty T-Cell.
Many of you started with us in my childhood back-yard seven years ago for an informal ride. Five year's ago, we joined with several friends to form the Breakthrough Bike Challenge. Two years ago, Penn asked the BBC to serve as the official ride of its Abramson Cancer Center. That's a tribute to all who have ridden and contributed in the past. Thank you.
We also owe a debt to Chris' law partners at Saul Ewing. They have generously supported the BBC. Their gift and the contributions of other sponsors ensure that 100% of the money you donate will fund research, and will not get gobbled up by administrative costs. We will never forget our sponsors' kindness.
We hope you can join us on Sunday, September 16th. We have three distances mapped out in the beautiful Oley Valley. See this website for details. In addition to the breathtaking views, you will meet the winners of the grants we awarded last year, and learn first-hand how those funds are now hard at work.
Thank you again; we hope to see you on Sunday, September 16th!
Mary Ann

ASIA 150: Asia: An Introduction
ASIA 150 is an introductory course on Asian cultures, histories, societies, and languages. Our studies will include four subregions: East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. Today, Asia is home to 60% of the world's total population and is a region within which more than 2,000 languages are spoken. This class will overview some of the large, regional structures and flows that connect its diverse peoples and cultures. It will also consider topics such as colonialism, nationalism, modernity, and globalization within particular Asian contexts. Various instructors from the Department of Asian Studies and other departments at UNC will be invited to our class to share their scholarly expertise on various topics related to Asia. These guest lectures provide an opportunity for students to become familiar with the wide range of classes on Asia offered at the university. It is hoped that these encounters will inspire students to take additional classes on Asia and to take advantage of study abroad in Asia. SS, BN, GL.

Video link attached to the bubbling/steam coming out of top of motor beside manifold.
Seams to be a failure in the exhaust manifold gasket. Cooling lines seemed clogged initially, when running off hose no water came out the exhaust but it never overheated. I then throttled up to try and pop out whatever could have been "clogging it" and then seconds later water began coming out the exhaust along with a large puff/cloud of white smoke. The smoke cleared shortly after. Cooling lines seemed fine then. Have noticed some black particles discharging from the water drain/winterize hoses when I drain after use.
While on the water I noticed this coming out of the top of the manifold gasket. Engine was brand new installed from a crate motor in June of 2017. This could have first occurred today, or been occurring for a while but I didn't own the boat till two months ago. It's only been run in fresh water to my knowledge, and it's all I've run it in.
I'm not a mechanic, and this is my first boat but a big DIY guy. I've read enough to know a bad manifold can leak water and cause serious damage.

The troop paid another visit to one of our favorite desert camps – Red Rock Canyon State Park. We arrived after dark on Friday night and scouts set up their camp in a bit of desert wind. The next day, scouts had a great time exploring the cliffs. Boys had a full Saturday complete with skills training and a 4×4 adventure to Burro Schmidt Tunnel and Bickel Camp (cool old mining sites). We ended Saturday with a relaxing campfire of toasted marshmallows, dumb jokes and stories, with the Milky Way overhead and the occasional shooting star. Scouts prepared for another windy night by being extra careful in battening down their tents. We awoke to a beautiful cold but sunny dawn to break camp before the long drive home.

Bring out The Gimp! If you've ever seen Quentin Tarrantino's film Pulp Fiction, you might understand why Bruce Willis' and Samuel L. Jackson's characters might cringe at the utterance of that phrase. And so we can forgive them if Sweetwater Brewing's The Gimp A Wide Open Old Ale is a beer they'd rather avoid. The rest of us, though, would do better to try it.
The Gimp is part of the Sweetwater's Dank Tank series of specialty brews, and they actually do have a bizarrely decorated, dedicated conditioning tank for these beers. The Gimp is an old ale in style, closely related to a barleywine in truth. This one is formidable indeed at 10.3% alcohol by volume. I bought a few bottles back in March for a very reasonable $5.99, and I've aged this one for almost six months from the bottling date.
Sweetwater says about the beer on the bottle:
A wide open Old Ale, The Gimp gags up Alc. 10.3% by Vol. and is bred to be stashed in a Dank dark cellar only to be brought out for your most "special" guests! This full-bodied Gimp gives off sweet scents of caramel and toffee and, as legend has it, warm undertones of malt and alcohol balanced by low voltage doses of hops delivering a SHOCKER you'll actually want to receive.
Don't keep The Gimp's leash too tight, as he will mellow with age and become more experienced the longer he stays locked up in the cellar. Bring out The Gimp!
Sweetwater The Gimp A Wide Open Old Ale pours to a dark ruby color with a thick creamy head and a wonderfully bready malty nose. Taking a sip the beer is as big in mouthfeel and body as the nose promised, packed with notes of fresh baked bread, caramel, dark fruits of cherry and raisin, and in the finish a decided peppery hoppiness and big alcohol warmth. The hops are not overpowering here as they would be in many an American barleywine, but the very peppery character is very interesting indeed, and along with the alcohol they certainly serve to leave this malt monster very dry indeed. It could easily have aged for a few more years, and if I can find more I will do just that.
At this strength, you could call this an old ale or a barleywine. The big emphasis on malt instead of hop (though again the latter is definitely present) strengthens Sweetwater's case for the former. Certainly a sipping brew, and mine was the perfect treat on an unseasonably cool 73 degree August evening here in Georgia. Oddly enough, it made the perfect aperitif to a strange August Sunday dinner of roast turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread stuffing, and mixed veggies. Hey, we've had plenty of Thanksgivings in the seventies here before……why not?
And remember, try a new beer today, and drink outside the box.

HP Forum Archive 14
[ Return to Index | Top of Index ]
As only those similarily infatuated with the HP 41 can understand this - and I need to share this - here is a post with very little value to anyone else, other than to create either smirks, sympathy or empathy.
Over the last few weeks I have been working my way throug all the PPC journals, Data file journals, CHHU journals and HPX journals that are available on the combined DVD set from here and TOS. Some 10000 pages I reccon.
Each issue was scanned for HP 41 related material, finds where carefully extracted and sorted, chronoligically, into 36 categories (e.g. Synthetic Programming, M-Code, Wand, Cassette drive, CCD, Conversion-routines, curve fitting, games, etc), stapled and punched, put into 2 large binder (next to one which has all repair related stuff I could find on the fori of this site). Now I think I will get some more sleep over the next few days.
The pleasure it gives me to know, that if I were to, for example, look for prime factor programs on the HP 41, I could go to my binder, open the relevant section and have all programs that were ever published in any of the above magazine neatly sorted by date, is simply imensurable. Well, it is definitely imensurable for my girlfriend, who ist just happy that it is over (and is claiming that I am walking a fine line between passion and obsession. I will have to think about that one...)
Anyway, just needed to share this victory over the sheer mass of information.
Congratulation! Could you pass the border from passion to obsession just for one more day and publish your personal TOC on your homepage or here. I always wished to have something like the 'Stone of Rosetta' to this bulk of information. To sidetrack your girlfriend for that additional day you could pass me her eMail address or show her my URL, specially the page about me, myself and I.

Billy, a sculptor in the service of a chinchilla rancher named Bill, lived in a treehouse for the summer. The rancher and his wife had hired Billy to do odd jobs, such as repairing fences, roofing, and so forth. They kept many other animals on their farm, including two huskies they were inordinately fond of. The rancher and his wife also participated regularly in orgies. One day, after Billy finished repairing their roof, the rancher invited him to a party, but Billy declined. The next day he was told not to come into work; overnight in a thunderstorm one of the huskies had leaped over a fence, hanging himself on his own leash. It is stated in the classics: "Rare birds and strange beasts should not be kept in this country."

Fair Trade San Fransico Minutes
We weren't actually at the Golden Gate Bridge, but I hate not having a picture.
In attendance at the meeting were:
Zarah Patriana, Global Exchange
Jamie Guzzi, TransFair USA
Mick Smith, Catholic Relief Services
Maripaz Garcia, De la Paz Coffee Company
Kevin Danaher, Global Exchange
We began the meeting with a brief update of the campaign as it was taking shape in the East Bay with Fair Trade Month Kick-Off events at the Den in Oakland and a Fair Trade Certified wine event in Berkeley at the Hub.
After that we entered into a brainstorm and discussion about possible events for Fair Trade Month in San Francisco. Jamie started off the meeting by proposing that we focus on a family friendly event for Halloween, thereby giving us more time to organize. Everyone agreed and we set about brainstorming.
Halloween is on a Saturday night, so we decided hosting an event on Halloween might be challenging in terms of securing a venue. Kevin suggested that we might partner with the Temple night club which has an established relationship with Global Exchange and would offer the space free Sunday through Thursday. Temple is at 540 Howard St. and they host regular sustainability events hosted by Mike Zukerman in the vein of green drinks.
Jamie suggested a Fair Trade Chocolate giveaway or reverse trick or treat action possibly focusing on a street where families congregate with small children in Noe Valley. Jamie also offered to look into the possibility of securing donations from Alter Eco and Divine.
Mick will be speaking at 5-14 catholic high schools over the coming months and offered to outreach the kids to participate in any event we might plan as well as send an outreach email to the Catholic Archdiocese master list of school principals and ministers. He also expressed an interest in approaching pier 39 about a possible Halloween event.
We all agreed that any Halloween event should focus on kids educating other kids, so the participation of the highschool students and any other students in our network would be crucial to our success. Jamie proposed that we consider approaching whatever neighborhood or parent organization coordinates the trick or treat street in Noe Valley and ask them to help convert the event. Jamie also proposed a series of canvass days to knock on the doors of the houses individually to offer them chocolate and secure their support.
Kevin broached the idea of incorporating an online social networking element and we all agreed that any call to action should include resources for folks to sign a statement of support online and also order FTC chocolate for their house.
The conversation then turned to long term outreach ideas and we revisited the idea of hosting a green drinks type event at the Temple. We also thought it might be interesting to invite local fair trade certified licensees to participate in a regular series of cuppings and also copromote events that the local companies are already hosting like demos and tastings through a BAFTC event calendar.
Jamie inquired if the group had an interest in jointly managing the online resources like the blog, facebook and twitter and everyone agreed that it might be useful to set up all the participating organizations as administrators so we could all add content as we wish. Mick thought this would be useful for CRS and the Archdiocese as they have big fair trade and development focused events coming up soon.
Maripaz suggested that events like their regular tablings at farmers markets might be a good place to outreach for supporters and promote events. We all talked about other fun events like partnerships with the Bike Coalition and Movie Night in the Park as other future ideas.
We all agreed that a regular meeting time might be useful to encourage turnout and committed to 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at Global Exchange for future meetings as a first step. The converstaion then returned to next steps for our Halloween event.
We agreed to target the trick or treat street in Noe Valley that is famous for decorating the entire block for kids. Zarah suggested that Jocelyn from the GX store might know more about the event and how to get in touch with the organizers.
We agreed that we would have to print out the GX reverse trick or treat cards from a PDF as GX might be out of the cards by then. Zarah suggested we reach out to ESLI teachers about participating (Eslisf.org)
We then set about assigning roles and tasks. Maripaz agreed to be the Retail Outreach Coordinator in partnership with Jocelyn from the Global Exchange store who expressed previous interest. Mick agreed to be our Faith Outreach Coordinator and to work with Jamie on a further strategy for reaching out to schools and churches.
Zarah committed to helping with Social Media Outreach and managing the facebook and twitter and Ruby agreed to help coordinate with the Global Exchange Fair Trade Team on the event and help with media.
Before we left, Mick gave a quick update on upcoming events from CRS and the Archdiocese. They have an upcoming Fair Trade conference in Oakland this fall and a .7% conference on UN development goals in San Francisco in the Spring.
Next Steps:
Zarah will research the Trick or Treat street and a possible partnership for sales and tabling with the GX store in Noe Valley.
Jamie will check on donations. Ruby will check in with the GX Fair Trade campaign and hear if the other GX interns want to participate.
Mick will follow up with Jamie about outreaching the schools and crafting a message about the campaign.
Maripaz will begin talks with their accounts about how we might best support retailers and report back to the group with some ideas.
Kevin would put some feelers out with Temple about hosting events.

|Meet The Gang
The bedroom that Imma and Andriana had shared for 25 years was a tight squeeze, and lacked any individual style. Their original veneer armoires and dressers were functional but plain and outdated. With brother Gino married and out of the house, Imma could now move into his room, which was also small, but it was to be hers alone.
Transforming these two bedrooms gave us the opportunity to tap into each girl's personal style. We designed two very different looks by re-inventing their furniture with a combination of paint, plaster and stock moldings. The colours range from sexy, dramatic Moraccan reds for Imma to a delicate combination of white and pretty pastels for Andriana. Now the girls each have a private sanctuary in which to hang out either alone or with friends.
Moroccan Boudoir
The highlight of this tiny hideaway is the fabulous bed. A framed canopy and sides were custom built around a simple store-bought bed using medium density fiberboard, and then painted to look like wood. The old furniture was treated to new life with special antiquing effects. Rich, exotic details layer the room. Imma's original armoire was decorated with panels and multiple strips of molding, and glows with a dark glossy wood patina. The faux leather table is perfect for lounging around, and also opens into a makeup table. Red walls and brightly coloured harem pillows are both luscious and fun; this plain box bedroom is now a mysterious sleeping den.
Whimsical Dreamland
Now a bedroom for one, there is space for an intimate lounging area in this pretty, tranquil space. To celebrate our modern taste for larger than life patterns Jim painted a single, huge flower on the long wall in shades of soft pink. Storage has been confined to one wall with floor to ceiling cabinets, a dresser and boxes put together using Andrianna's old furniture. Glossy white paint and new hardware unify the system. The opposite mirrored wall reflects the fresh, sophisticated ambiance of this mostly white room, softened by gentle pastel accents.
Click on the small photographs on the right to view each of the different angles of the room.

Moroccan Boudoir
Luscious reds from Para Paints and a combination of tactile textures from the bed's velvet and silk fabrics to the layered paint finished on the furniture saturate this bedroom with exotic excitement.
Give an inexpensive, flat-faced armoire the look of a hand-crafted antique. Decide on a design and choose a complementary mix of panels and moldings to decorate the doors. Use a miter box for professional corner cuts, and attach the pieces with glue and finishing nails. Apply an oil-based primer to the surface of the armoire including all the add-ons. To create the faux wood finish, start with a pale orange base coat (see resources). When the base is dry, apply burnt umber glaze with a hard-bristle brush, and while the glaze is still wet, use a wood-graining tool called a rocker to make the realistic wood pattern. Finish with a raw umber glaze coat.
An exotic canopy bed was constructed by adding MDF panels to an inexpensive single bed. For the top, use 2" x 3" wood slats for the frame, covered on both sides with 3/4" MDF. Cut out a shapely window in the end panels; use a jigsaw and a router to cut out the rounded shapes for the front of the bed. For the fantasy faux wood finish apply a pale lilac base coat (see resources). Mix a coloured glaze, 1 part pale eggplant paint to 2 parts glazing liquid. Apply the coloured glaze with a hard bristle paint brush, pushing through the glaze to make wood grain lines. Use an artist's brush to apply more grain lines, being sure to have them run in the same direction as you would see in real wood.
We used a Venetian plaster base to add centuries of character to a dull dresser. Begin with a good quality primer designed for slippery surfaces to prepare your old piece for a new finish, and let it dry and cure overnight. Use a wide brush to apply the plaster. The slightly uneven texture will give the appearance of age. Stencil a raised motif onto the drawers by applying plaster over the stencil with a spatula. Let the plaster dry. Apply a rust red base coat (see resources). To make the old lacquered effect, first apply a coat of amber shellac and then a high gloss varnish that has been tinted with dark red. Dab a little gold craft paint onto the stenciled motifs with your finger to give the illusion of metal.
The leather look tabletop is an easy project. We took vinyl flooring in a faux leather pattern from Mannington (see resources) and glued it on with vinyl floor adhesive. Add upholstery tacks to complete the image.
Whimsical Dreamland
There's a lounge-like feeling produced by applying glossy reflective surfaces, silver accents, and a light, white palette from Para Paints (see resources) that beckons you into this lovely bedroom. A giant, painted flower accentuates the hip, modern theme; crisp white bed linens and clean lined furnishings are simple and sophisticated.
Flower Mural
You don't need to be an artist to produce stunning murals like this. Draw your chosen pattern onto a piece of acetate with a magic marker. Use a projector to project the outline onto the wall and trace along the lines with chalk. The outline was painted a medium rose shade (see resources), pale rose was applied for shading and the remaining petals painted white. Use artist's brushes to add details.
Mirrored Wall
Rather than real mirror, which is heavy and fragile to work with, we chose plexiglass mirror to panel one wall. Measure and cut the panels to size and mark any cutouts for light switches. To cut the plexiglass, score deeply with an Xacto knife, line up on the edge of a table and snap off along the score line. For inside cuts, drill a hole so that you can insert a jigsaw with a metal-cutting blade. Use silicone glue to stick the panels to the wall and finish with a decorative strip of molding.
Storage Wall
We used Imma's old cabinets and dresser to produce a large storage unit on one wall, We built the top boxes and nailed them into place over the cabinets. You can paint over a shiny veneer or laminate surface, but proper preparation is key. First sand to rough up the surface, and then roll on a high quality oil-based primer. You can now use latex paint; we chose high gloss white. To unify the pieces, old hardware was replaced with modern pulls from Umbra (see resources).

Edta acid application
EDTA is frequently used in soaps and detergents, because it forms a complexes with calcium and magnesium ions. These ions are in hard water and interfere with the cleaning action of soaps and detergents. The EDTA binds to them, sequestering them and preventing their interference.
