Harmonious colour themes have built up as the collection has evolved. The textiles can be used alongside one another to produce richly nuanced combinations.
The carefully edited range of cushions showcases complementary textiles that allow for a wide variety of expressive combinations of colour, weave and texture.
Versatile and particularly soft to the touch, the throws in the collection extend the designer's aesthetic into the finer details of an interior scheme.
"I was fascinated by how the colouration and weaving processes in fashion textiles don't have the same limitations as those of furnishing textiles. Working with Kvadrat, we've been translating the subtle colouration and texture that you'd find perhaps in a tweed or bouclé into textiles suitable for use in furniture. Because of the dense weave that is needed for furniture, the colouration becomes even more interesting, with almost a painterly impact."

A Host Of Blessings
Since last Sunday a lot has happened and we can only praise the Lord. Many things have happened that we can give praise for but I will only mention two here. First, I needed to move the plug for the electric dryer and found that there was enough existing wire in the wall to put the outlet exactly where we needed it about 5-7 feet away. Second, we were able to attend a home missions conference at First Baptist Church of Englewood, CO this week. It was a wonderful conference with good preaching as well as we were sent home with around $2,000 for the needs of our church.
A New Family
On Friday we were invited to a Lee and Cindy's home to roast some marshmallows with the kids. They live about thirty minutes from the church and are just moving back from the Denver area. They heard about our church through some of the pastors in the area and are excited about joining. Cindy attended Maranatha and play's piano. She jumped right in and it was a blessing to have her play for us on Today.
Please also pray for Bob and Anastasia. They are a young family that we have had contact with. They are interested in coming to church so please pray that God will draw them to Himself and that He would give us the ability to reach out to them.
A Good Service
I was a little worried about time change Sunday so I planned on calling around to remind people. I discovered that there are no records of phone numbers or address here a the church. Services went like normal and no one was thrown for a loop by the time change. Our attendance today was 26 and with 17 adults and 9 children the auditorium was getting a little crowed. From our perspective that is a good problem to have.
A Test Of Faith
This week I was able to sit down and read through the mortgage that the church is currently paying on. Needless to say, we need the Lord's leadership of what to do. I am praying that God uses our financial test of faith to grow our church spiritually.
A Word Of Thanks
We have received several letters and emails that have been a great encouragement. Thank you so much to those who are upholding us in their thoughts and prayers.

As kids we're taught to plan for the future, right? Go to school, get into college, pick a degree & career path and have our entire life figured out by the ripe old age of 18! WOW!
Does anyone else see that as completely crazy??
I'm 34 (SHH! Don't tell anyone), and for a long time I have beat myself up for my life being a holy hot fucking mess …oh, for as long as I can remember. After all I finished high school at 17. Had my first degree and a full time job by the age of 19. So, I of course, should be doing very well for myself by age 34 … right?
Well, let me tell you – nothing went as "planned." Not a thing! I didn't really know what I wanted to be when I grew up, so I did the only "logical" thing I could think of. I went back to college for degree number 2. Now this time, I thought for sure I had it all figured out. I was going to be a graphic designer, an artist who got to follow her passion for art and photography and I was going to make a career out of it! HA! Did I have another thing coming! That dream lasted for 3 months after I graduated. The small company I was working for went through lay-offs and I was part of them.
Flash forward a couple of jobs and a few years and I'm still wondering what I am going to do with my life. I knew I wanted more than the entry-level customer service jobs I had been in and was convinced the only way I'd succeed was to, yet again, go back to school. This time for my M.B.A. For sure with an M.B.A. I'd land a stellar job right out of college making good money and finally be able to have what I want in life. This was the dream …
During this time I had a baby, went through challenging times with my sons father and became the financial head of my household. I completed my degree all with the hope that when I finished I'd get a job making enough money to be the head of my household and at least live a comfortable life. I stressed, daily, about money and the future. Would I be able to pay rent this month? How am I ever going to afford my loan payments? What if my car breaks down or we have unexpected medical bills? Where will I come up with the money for these things? I could never just live life one day at a time. I was constantly worried about everything that I could not control. Even after I landed a great job, moved to a new city, and was making progress in my career, I worked part-time as a bartender 4 nights a week (on-top of my day job) and stressed constantly about everything! The part-time job was a necessity because I was the only one working and bills have to get paid. But the stress was eating away at me from inside out.
Finally, one day I decided I'd had enough. I made some major changes in my life. I finally took control of it! I decided what I would and would not allow. I decided what was important to me and what could fall by the wayside. I knew above all else, I wanted to spend more time with my son, and wanted to feel like I got to live my life and enjoy it! Most importantly, I stopped beating myself up for where I was at. Heck, for where I still am at. I wish I could say that I have money in a savings account, that I have invested a fair amount into my 401k and that I have my student loan payments under control – but I do not.
I invest a minimal amount in my 401k (something is better than nothing), I'm paying off my debt (better to pay off the high interest credit card than put money in a savings account making WAY less than the interest I pay), and my student loans … well they get what I can give them each month. Someday I may own a home, someday I may put money away for my sons college, someday I'll take that vacation I want to take … someday …
But for now, I am reminding myself to take one day at a time and to do the best I can.
**Taking life one day at a time is so much more than careers and finances. I plan to dive deeper into other areas of my life that force me to live this way. Keep an eye out for the next installment**

Her new album "Baylor Swift" will be released on Friday, May 8th.
by liammccarthy
Bali Baby is gearing up for the release of her full-length studio album "Baylor Swift," which is currently set to drop on Friday, May 8th. The Atlanta songstress known for her sweet-yet-savage style recently paid homage to Miley Cyrus by sharing a new video via Elevator, and returns today with another killer pair of visuals for her latest single "Backseat."
Premiered via The Fader, Brazy Bali's latest offering is laced with loud guitar and overpowering drums to create a soundscape we've yet to hear from the 20-year-old star. Comparable to a more well-done version of Lil Wayne's run-in with Rock 'n Roll in 2010, "Backseat" is a fully fueled urban crossover that'll have you instinctively head-banging.
Bali takes a late-night ride through New York City, as director Erin Grant captures the song's energy perfectly by enlisting the assistance of a motorcycle and stimulating visual effects. "I shot this video in the freezing cold weather for 12 hours straight," Bali Baby tells The FADER. "And I'll probably have frostbite in my fingers forever, but it's the hottest video out right now so it was totally worth it!"
Press play on the brand new visual for "Backseat" below, and click here to pre-order Bali's forthcoming album.

Now this is what I'm talking about! A few hours ago some interesting news went up on Japanese gaming site Famicom Plaza pertaining to a new handheld licensed by SNK. It's been nearly 13 years since the ill fated Neo Geo Pocket Color went head to head with the Game Boy Advance and lost, so in 2012 what delights can they possibly have in store for us?
As usual detailed info is rather thin on the ground, but some info has been divulged… Read on.

Electricity (more precisely electric field) and
magnet (let's say magnetic field) are two sides of
the same coin. In modern physics, electric
and magnetic field are written in the same
equation. Changing electric field (time-dependent
electric field) will generate magnetic field, and
changing magnetic field (time-dependent magnetic
field) will generate electric field.
Understanding the relation between electric and
magnetic field was the motivation for Einstein to
invent relativity. His first paper on this subject
was "ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES".
To see the effect of electric field on magnet,
you can put a compass next to an electric cable.
When you turn on and off the electric current, the
compass will change its alignment.
Electrical currents create magnetic fields as a
consequence of the changing (flowing) electrical
field responsible for the electricity. Anything
that results in a changing electrical field will
create a magnetic field and vice-versa.

Consolidation and Modernization poisioned by Muncie City Council!
Poison Ivy in the fall
Sam Marshall, president of Muncie City Council introduced changes to the Modernization and Consolidation.
Here it is in a nutshell. For this to pass in 2012, there must be a vote of 66 2/3 vote. A majority vote is 51%.
Jim Arnold asked if they would like the same to be applied to them…at the polls.
Another speaker asked if the City Council had the authority to speak for the county on this 66 2/3 vote. The usual him-hawing and finally, I believe it was Marshall, said it had to match the county. I was told, but can't confirm, the county passed the same tonight.
It is so obvious to any person that has a brain, this was an attempt to destroy the people's right to vote. Raising the vote to an outrageous 67% is nothing short of self-serving and party line government leadership.
Voting for the 66 2/3 vote was (in alphabetical order):
- Julius Anderson Democrat (up for re-election) District 6
- Mary Jo Barton Democrat (up for re-election) District 3
- Jerry Dishman Democrat (up for re-election) District 5
- Sam Marshall Democrat
- Alison Quirk Democrat (up for re-election) At Large
Voting against the 66 2/3 vote was (in alphabetical order):
- Mark Conatser* Republican (up for re-election) District 2
- Linda Gregory* Democrat (up for re-election) At Large
- Mike King Democrat
- Brad Polk* Republican (up for re-election) District 4
There is no gentle way to say this, these city council members are destroying our city and have shown nothing but lip service on her behalf. It is time to vote them out of office in November. And we need to do the same in 2012 on the county level.
They have been poisoning our city for decades and it has gradually been seeping into our roots. "Round Up" the voters and let's remove the poison from our city.
*Good city council members.

Образование в Тедасе очень многообразно и зависит от расы и социального положения человека.
Существует два самых знаменитых образовательных учереждения и оба они расположены в Орлее - Университет Орлея и Академия Шевалье, где обучаются будущие рыцари.
The education provided to those of the Chantry appears on par with that of nobles. Templar recruits are literate and are taught history in addition to their martial training and religious education. Members of the Chantry, by dint of their responsibilities, are naturally literate and well-read, in the Chant of Light if nothing else.
Local Chantries may also provide some instruction to their followers and allow access to their texts
Chantry members may also pursue scholarship. The most well-known Chantry scholar is Brother Ferdinand Genitivi, lecturer and author of numerous texts and travelogues. Other scholars search for ancient artifacts and scrolls, such as Sister Justine, curator of the Denerim chantry. Justine is also versed in decoding ciphers and encrypted text.
The education of a mage is as extensive as that of a noble, if not more so. Beyond being taught to control their magic, a mage learns of the various schools of magic as well as languages, reading, writing, scrying, healing, etc. A mage's training consists of extensive study of arcane lore. As any Circle of Magi is essentially a war college and standing army, much of a mage's training is also battle magic.
Much like the Chantry, the Circle of Magi encourages scholarship and publishes the completed research. Examples of this are the botanical writings of Ines and the spirit research of Rhys. Through their education and scholarship, mages are considered some of the most educated members of society and as such may sometimes function as advisers in royal courts.
Circles of Magi have massive libraries and are typically the greatest repositories of knowledge in a given country, though access is naturally limited.
Commoners appear to receive little formal education in most countries in Thedas and many may be illiterate. City elves receive even less education than human commoners. As such, dwarven runes may be used in place of writing in some cases. In other instances tally marks may be used to delineate locations or distances.
However, in sharp contrast, those who work as servants in noble estates appear to receive extensive education, at least enough that is sufficient to perform their tasks.
Slaves in the Tevinter Imperium are often illiterate; However, some receive formal education and training for specific purposes such as working in libraries, accounting or scribing. Literacy is notable and reflects on a slave's price.
To make up for this lack of instruction, Tevinter slaves develop their own pictograms as a way to warn other slaves of things such as a master's temperament and other practical uses related to their society. These symbols go largely unnoticed by their owners and have a local significance, thus the same image might mean different things to different groups.
Among the Fereldan nobility, an education is typically provided by a learned tutor, such as Aldous in the Human Noble Origin. Noble Andrastian families may often have a Chantry Mother as a member of the household to attend to the religious education of the young. Examples of Mothers attached to noble households are Mother Mallol and Mother Ailis of the Cousland and Theirin families respectively.
A major facet of noble education appears to be history, as Aldous drills both the Human Noble and young squires in the household on family history. Reading and writing are naturally part of this education. A noble education does not necessarily make one a strong scholar however, as even King Maric is by his own admission a poor reader.[11] Martial training is also a component of the education of nobility, as nobles are expected by their commoners to defend them and their territories. It is unusual, but not unheard of, for noble daughters to be educated in the ways of war and battle.
Noble education may also include such things as dance and song, as Leliana learned in Lady Cecilie's household.
Noble households may also boast libraries, as Castle Cousland does.
Dwarven education in Orzammar appears to be given to those with caste. Little is known of the nuances of dwarven education but it appears that at least part of it, amongst nobles, may be administered by members of the Shaperate.Martial training appears to be a major element of dwarven education in Orzammar, with the best trainers being retained by noble households.
The Shaperate is arguably the largest repository of history and knowledge. Its resources are available to anyone, in order to pursue both personal and professional research. Noble households may also serve as patrons for Shaperate scholars.
Casteless dwarves Amongst the casteless there is no formal education; indeed, most casteless dwarves appear to be functionally illiterate.However, noble hunters are literate and highly educated in poetry and other skills in order to make them attractive to noble partners.
Education amongst the Qunari is administered according to one's role in the rigid society of the Qun. Learning is a core philosophy of the Qunari way of life. In spite of it, many Qunari do not speak the common tongue of Thedas.[16] Amongst Qunari, the tamassrans are arguably the most educated, being fluent in many languages[17] in order to educate, or re-educate, converts to the Qun. Tamassrans raise the young, administer their general education, and evaluate them for placement in society.
Education among the Dalish appears to be in the main oral,[18] who instruct through the use of lore and storytelling. The Dalish retain their history through oral tradition as well as books in some cases.[19] A clan's First studies lore, magic and history in order to become a successful Keeper.[20] A Keeper is ostensibly a clan's leader and as such is viewed as wise and learned.
Dalish elves hold Arlathvhens in order to reconvene with other clans and to exchange their collected lore.

Diseases of plants caused by species of the genus Phytophthora represent some of the most devastating diseases of crops worldwide. All known species of Phytophthora are plant pathogens. Although superficially similar to filamentous fungi, the Phytophthora species belong to the class oomycetes, and are more closely related to brown algae. Phytophthora‐incited disease may be controlled by genetically encoded resistance in the host plants. In cases where no host plant resistance to Phytophthora disease is available, application of control chemicals may be successful in controlling disease, although intensive chemical control is potentially environmentally damaging. Much recent research into Phytophthora biology has utilised modern molecular biology techniques. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequencing of three Phytophthora genomes has revealed an extraordinary repertoire of genes encoding proteins secreted by Phytophthora for the purpose of overcoming and subverting host plant innate and active defence responses, indicating pathogenicity in this genus to be a highly complex process.
Key Concepts
Species of Phytophthora cause some of the most destructive plant diseases known.
Phytophthora species resemble fungi, but are phylogenetically distinct.
Some Phytophthora species have coevolved with their hosts, leading to a gene‐for‐gene system of matching plant resistance and Phytophthora avirulence gene products.
Some, but not all, Phytophthora diseases may be controlled by resistance in the host plant, or through the application of control chemicals.
Phytophthora species secrete a complex array of proteins, including effectors, during invasion of plant tissues, some of which act to suppress plant defence responses.
Some effectors may be recognised by host plants, leading to resistance.
Other effectors may be required for pathogen growth and development during infection.
Numerous secreted Phytophthora proteins exhibit evidence of selection pressure from their plant hosts.
Keywords: Phytophthora; oomycete; avirulence; effector; fungicide; plant pathology

This year started off with a very poignant journey to Peru, followed by being back in my homeland where the African skies meet my mystery, the mountains hold my curiosities and the oceans carry my tears of past and future. This land that continues to call me is rich with untold stories of hardship, bloodshed, racism, crime, magic, joy, glory, nature, entrepreneurship and music. It fills every pocket of my being when I am there. She, Mama Africa, calls me to keep searching far and wide for all the meaning that life has stored in her very fabric, in every detail of nature to which we often forget to pay attention.
This course enabled me to find my inner attacker—it helped me to carve out my inner fighter who is fierce, wild and can stand up and defend herself.
March has been truly wet and grey and it has been hard to maintain my usual zeal for life. I feel the sunshine of South Africa slowly fading away in the distance. The Nordic charms of late winter bring me into a new space of reflection, mixed with the tease of spring's arrival. With all that being said, March has brought with it so much food for thought and new skills learned.
My beloved Thor bought me an intensive course for women in Krav Maga. Krav Maga is a military self-defense and fighting system developed for the Israeli Defence Forces and security forces. It's derived from a combination of techniques sourced from boxing, wrestling, Aikido, Judo and Karate, along with realistic fight training. When it was first gifted to me, I had so much resistance to the idea of fighting because my natural state of being is more geared towards dance and flow. The idea of having to get in touch with my inner attacker felt so foreign and strange to me.
Little did I know that walking through the doors of Heartcore would change and enhance parts of my being that I didn't even know existed. When I was in my 20's, I was in an armed robbery and had a gun pointed to my head. This traumatic experience left me with much fear and anxiety that I have had to work through in later years. As a promiscuous teenager, finding her way into womanhood, I also experienced situations in which I was not always able to say no. Being in an open marriage for 10 years, where boundaries of practicing 'no' were not present, added to this struggle of not being able to stand in full power and authority.
I am ready, open and alert.
This course enabled me to find my inner attacker—it helped me to carve out my inner fighter who is fierce, wild and can stand up and defend herself. The practice of Krav Maga is so simple: you work with what you have—no fancy leg twists and karate chops. We practiced getting out of arm holds, being dragged, hair being pulled, body grabs from all sides, being strangled, headlocks, rape positions, and defending ourselves from being punched and working with knife attacks. The drills were physically engaging and left my body feeling strong and on fire. At first, I found it difficult to play the fighter and attacker, yet the more I practiced, something changed within my body, mind, and spirit—the same feeling I have when I meditate. The feeling of being truly in the zone, awake and aware of all that surrounds you, free of all distraction.
At the end of the course, three men attended and were instructed to attack us. They were all padded up and we got to practice what we had learned on them. I was so exhilarated that I was able to defend myself against them. This course has left me feeling so empowered. It's given me a new edge to dealing with everyday life situations and boundaries. My inner fighter can stand up for herself and it has been equally relevant to other parts of me. As a woman, I feel this should be taught in schools to young women. These skills open up amazing doors and have helped me greatly with my fears, anxiety and self-esteem. I feel I can use this new approach to learning Danish, which up until now, has been very hard. Let's now see what spring brings!
I am ready, open and alert.
Thank you to Joen, at Heartcore, for holding such a wonderful space. Thank you to the incredible women I met. www.heartcorekravmaga.dk

APARTMENT hunters always have a wish list of things that will help them call a new place home doormen, laundry rooms, southern exposures.
But for some people, faith guides real estate choices. Instead of bay windows and an in-house gym, their must-have may be a kosher kitchen, a short walk to church, room to roll out a prayer mat or like-minded roommates.
Community mattered to Jason Storbakken, 33, and his wife, Vonetta, 36, who wanted to share their lives with other followers of Christ, and not just for an hour on Sunday morning. So the couple started Radical Living, a Christian collective, in 2007 in a Brooklyn brownstone they bought in 2001 for $180,000, first rehabbing it to the tune of $80,000. To find members, they began "targeted marketing," Mr. Storbakken said, advertising for roommates on Christian Web sites.
Today Radical Living is home to 20 adults, with several satellite apartments within a block of the brownstone. The word radical, the group's Web site explains, means "relating to the root or origin," and refers to the members' aim "to return to primitive Christianity and to share their lives with others in a spirit of love and service." Thus, Mr. Storbakken, faith "plays out in every area of your life, from the food you eat to your housing."
The house is ecumenical, and there are Catholics and Protestants among the current residents, as well as varying levels of orthodoxy and an assortment of ages and backgrounds. The residents meet for weekly meals to discuss values and scripture. Sometimes they fast together. On these warm summer days, Bible study takes place on the brownstone's brick patio.
Justin Hilton, 21, arrived at the brownstone in Bedford-Stuyvesant on July 1. Mr. Hilton works at a video store in Park Slope, and moved from Crown Heights, where he shared an apartment with a friend. He now pays $500 a month to be a part of Radical Living.
A child of missionaries to West Africa, he grew up in communal situations, and he was seeking similar surroundings when he discovered Radical Living.
"Living here in this community is not just like I have people my age or into the same things as me," he says. "It stretches you and makes you hopefully more selfless, living for something more than just your own comfort."
He said that living where religion is as much a part of daily roommate life as making sure there's milk in the fridge, means the principles of his faith are always in practice. "Church, when it's once a week, you can turn it off," Mr. Hilton said.
Prospective residents of Radical Living fill out an application, answering questions like "Why do you want to live in Christian community?" and "Our community emphasizes loving our neighbor. In what ways would you work to love your neighbors in Bedford-Stuyvesant?"
Rent is from $450 to $650, depending on the size of the room. Housemates contribute to a purse that covers pantry staples like tea and flour, and to charitable projects that the group agrees upon.
Conflicts are mediated using a method outlined in the Bible: "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses."
"Christians are good moral people, "Mr. Storbakken said. "But you have the same issues with Christians as non-Christians when it comes to housing."
Yoheved Rubenstein, 24, on the hunt for her first solo apartment, wanted to live in the thick of the action in Manhattan, among good restaurants, great bars and an arts scene.
But higher on the list were the demands of her religion. Ms. Rubenstein, who grew up in Scarsdale, N.Y., is a modern Orthodox Jew and adheres to kosher dietary rules. She is also shomer Shabbat observing the Sabbath by not turning on electricity or using transportation, among other things.
Thus, her ideal apartment would be within walking distance of her temple. So before she went house-hunting, she went temple-hunting. Having decided on the Jewish Center on West 86th Street, she began looking on the Upper West Side.
"All my friends were asking why I wasn't moving to the East Village," she said, but "my Sabbath life is so important it totally changed the destination or location that I would choose to live in."
The appeal of living not just near her synagogue, but also among fellow congregants, trumped all other concerns even financial ones. "You could live in Astoria for half the price, you could live in Washington Heights for half the price," Ms. Rubenstein says, "but it's really the community you want."
Earlier this summer she found an almost perfect pad with an ample bedroom not far from the Jewish Center. But another feature of her observance ruled it out: Every Friday night, Ms. Rubenstein hosts a traditional Sabbath dinner. She needed enough space to accommodate at least 30 guests.
This month, she began moving into a three-bedroom apartment that has a much smaller bedroom and is 10 blocks farther north that she might have liked. But the dining room is huge.
"For me," Ms. Rubenstein said, "it was more important to have a larger living space, as opposed to my room, which wasn't really a priority. I'd rather host people than have a larger room."
Sadia Kalam, a Muslim who prays five times a day, spent her freshman year of college in 2003 living in New York University's Union Square dorms. There, Ms. Kalam, now 24 and a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, found practicing her religion a logistical problem.
During the monthlong holiday of Ramadan, where the observant fast during daylight hours, she remembers tiptoeing around in the dark to grab cereal for her predawn meal. She had to roll out her prayer mat in a cramped communal space, and pray by a bathroom light so as not to wake her roommates.
Junior year, she sought out roommates through a Muslim student group. She ended up living as only college students can, in a sardine-tin-size place on Waverly Place with three other women. Two were Muslims, and a third was Catholic; all four were devout.
The jam-packed apartment became a community. The Muslims would share milk and Cheerios before dawn during Ramadan, and pray with the apartment cat flopped on their mats.
"The living situation was not anything I would brag about," Ms. Kalam said, but "I wouldn't trade that experience of living with Muslim girls for a beautiful loft in a really nice neighborhood. It's more about the experience of living with people who understand who you are and what you need to do."
All three women were her bridesmaids when she married, Ms. Kalam said.
ONE of the most exasperating aspects of shared living can be when roommates don't play by the same house rules. For example, one thinks it's acceptable to invite pals for a midnight supper on a Tuesday; the other thinks weeknights are for shut-eye.
Having values in common can cut off conflicts at the pass. Ms. Rubenstein found roommates who have no objection to her large Shabbat dinners. Ms. Kalam and her roommates agreed to abide by policies like no alcohol and no overnight male guests. Because some of the roommates wore a hijab over their hair in the company of men, if a man was coming over, the rule was to call home with advance warning.
Finding roommates of the same faith is not necessarily difficult. Besides the time-honored church bulletin board, there are sites like muslimroommates.org. Ms. Rubenstein used BangitOut.com, a Jewish social site.
Olivia Magdelene, 30, a Buddhist, is not looking for a roommate of any particular background, but someone who doesn't mind her rituals. So when she posted a room-wanted ad on Craigslist, she specified what she is willing to pay ($500 in any borough) and that during her daily meditation she burns incense like nag champa, which she says some people find noxious.
"I basically listed my religion and my practices in the ad because I am looking for other people with like minds," says Ms. Magdelene, an artist who also works in child care. Religion, she says, "is not a thing you can outsource to a mosque or a temple; it's a way of life."
To take her religious life out of her home, she says, "is like asking an artist, 'Why don't you just do art across town? Why do you need to sketch in your bedroom?' "
Members of the Christian community in Bed-Stuy also treasure the fact that the lines between house of worship, and just plain house, are blurred.
"We don't call it church, but in the biblical sense of the word, where every two or three people are gathered in the name of Christ, that's where the church is," says Mr. Storbakken of the brownstone. The Storbakkens, who have two young children, don't often make it to their actual church the house fills that niche.
"You always hear that it's a fiercely secular city," he says, "but the Holy Spirit is alive and well in Brooklyn."

IN January we are looking for warming foods to eat, and Mexican food fits the bill. My family loves Mexican food, but I only have two or three recipes that receive raves. Tortilla soup is one, and another is a wonderful Taco Salad recipe my sister shared with me several years ago. Yay, Diane!!
Now we've another inspired Mexican recipe from Dale. No it's actually two: fajitas with beef and fajitas with chicken. Bon appetit!
Dale's World: Fajitas – Two Ways
While I thoroughly enjoy the process of cooking, I also enjoy cooking things that can be done quickly and easily. Fajitas are just that. Everything (meat and vegetables) is rolled up into one neat package (the bread) and eaten with your hands. Below are two combinations that I have come to enjoy, and I am sure that you can think of others because there is no limit to what one can put into a tortilla. Fajitas are a complete meal. Nothing else is necessary. Although, I don't think anyone would object to a few corn chips and some tomato salsa.
Fajitas with Skirt Steak
You will need:
8 to 16 oz. of Beef Skirt Steak ¼ cup of sliced pickled Jalapeño Peppers
1 Green Bell Pepper 1 tsp. of Salt
1 Red Bell Pepper 1 tsp. of Chili Powder
1 Yellow Bell Pepper 1 tsp. of ground Cumin
1 medium Yellow Onion Flour Tortillas
1 medium Tomato Parsley or Cilantro Sprigs
2 Tbs. of Canola Oil
1. Cut the skirt steak into pieces of about 4 inches, then cut these across the grain to make strips that are around ¼ of an inch wide.
2. Remove the stems, seeds and membranes of the bell peppers, then cut them into strips.
3. Cut the onion in half, from top to bottom. Remove the stem, root and dry outer layer. Then cut each half into strips, from top to bottom. You will get slices that are somewhat crescent shaped. Sometimes it is difficult to find a medium sized yellow onion. If that is your case, use only half of a large one.
4. Cut the tomato as you did the onion.
5. Measure out the jalapeno peppers. If ¼ cup sounds a little warm for your taste, you can use less.
6. Wash and trim the parsley or cilantro sprigs. These are for a garnish, but if you like cilantro, you can chop some and add it to the mix of meat and vegetables.
- Heat the Canola oil in a large skillet or sauté pan. (Have we ever discussed the difference? Skillets have sloping sides and sauté pans have straight sides, but they can be used interchangeably.)
- On a medium high heat, stir-fry the meat just to the rare stage.
- Add the peppers and onions and continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and add the seasonings, salt, chile powder and cumin. Stir over the heat once again for about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat.
- Stir in the jalapenos and tomatoes .
- If the tortillas have been in the refrigerator, heat them in your microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Lay a tortilla flat, and ladle several spoonfuls of the skillet mixture on one side. Roll it up and place it on a dinner plate.
- Adults may eat up to three fajitas, depending upon how full you make them. Children will want fewer.
- Garnish with the parsley or cilantro.
Fajitas with Chicken
You will Need:
8 to 16 oz. of cooked Chicken 1 Tbs. of Tomato Paste
1 green Bell Pepper 2 Tbs. of Lime Juice
1 red Bell Pepper 1 tsp. of Salt
1 yellow Bell Pepper 1tsp. of Red Pepper Flakes
1 medium yellow Onion 1 tsp, of ground Cumin
2 Avocadoes Flour Tortillas
2 Tbs. of Canola Oil Parsley or Cilantro Sprigs
- Prepare the peppers and onions as above.
- Peel and slice the avocadoes.
- If the chicken is not already cooked, cook it in your microwave. Cut the chicken into thin slices.
- Prepare the garnish.
- Cook the peppers and onions as above. Don't cook the avocado.
- Add the tomato paste, lime juice and stir.
- Stir in the chicken, salt, cumin and red pepper flakes.
- Portion the skillet mixture as above.
- Lay two slices of avocado on top of the skillet mixture.
- Roll them up.
- Happy New Year!
Food for Thought:
Wrapping It Up
We don't call fajitas, cushioned in tortillas, wraps, but that's what they are. So are burritos. Today many fast food places offer a chicken or maybe a veggie wrap. Once we had a gracious Vietnamese woman in our Bible study, and sometimes she would make homemade spring rolls for us. Heaven! They've been my favorite wrap ever since.
Lettuce wraps work nicely when you are trying to cut down on your carbs—you know that low carb hamburger that comes wrapped in lettuce: a thick juicy piece of prime meat, melted cheese, fragile circles of onion, dill pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, maybe a dab of ketchup. Who misses the bun?
During the Christmas season we spend a great deal of time wrapping colorful presents with secrets inside, bright cellophane bags of cookies, and pumpkin breads and fudge. Yes, fudge. Now this is probably my all-time favorite food. It helps when it is wrapped. That way I can't eat it so fast.
When New Year's Day arrives, we usually try to wrap up the old year with its clutter by journaling about the year or making a list of blessings. My husband has an ongoing "Abundances" list he especially gives attention to when the New Year dawns. (Deut. 28:47 RSV)
Then there's the impetus to wrap up things by sorting through the clutter, organizing and throwing or giving away. We thought we'd be wrapping up the production of our cookbook this month. But, unfortunately, the whole process has been delayed. Our publisher has suddenly gone out of business. On the positive side, they did send a CD that contained the layout they had completed, along with the 60 high resolution images that will be peppered throughout the book. It is beautiful, and as I understand it now, all we have to do is find a printer who can finish the process.
How we long to have a book in our hands, hopefully by Spring! But then what of the verses in James? "Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.' "
God has evidently decided he has better timing and a better way to finish Inspiring Cuisine than the way we were pursuing. We believe this will all work out for good, to the glory of His name.
What things are you hoping to wrap up this year? What has God done? We'd love to hear your story. Meanwhile, take some time to enjoy Dale's gourmet fajita wraps to the hilt. May they be an appetizer of Heaven for you as you go about the routines of life.

His silent love – Chapter 17
Chapter – 17 – Parties and melodrama
Twinkle (POV)
"Theo" I called out and he turned raising an eyebrow at me. "Umm..Nothing..Nothing. Go back to what you were doing" I shook my head at him and he gave me a bored look.
"Just spill" He settled on the bean bag in the basement and I sighed nodding reluctantly. "Okay. I'll go straight to the point" I breathed out a small laugh, "Is Kunj in love with Melody?"
Theo furrowed his eyebrows leaning back, "In love?" He muttered and then in seconds, he was literally rolling on the floor laughing his ass off.
"Apart from being fuck buddies" Theo continued, sobering up a bit and I scrunched up my nose in disgust, "I don't think there's something serious. Neither will it be" he rolled his eyes muttering the last part.
"Why would Kunj flirt with me then all the time?" I blurt out and he raised an eyebrow at me smirking. "I thought you'd never notice" he responded and I flicked his forehead, "You are an airhead. Besides, it's not hard to tell when Kunj is flirting. He does that all the time"
"Nah" Theo chuckled, "That's only around you, sweetheart"
"Oh please" I scoffed out loud, "I don't get what he's trying to do. One moment, he enters out of nowhere telling me he's gonna protect me. Next, he flirts with me. Then he ignores me like nothing happened and that shitass kinda took my first kiss. I was-"
"Stop" Theo looked at me wide eyed, "You guys kissed? Scratch that. You have never been kissed?" he questions boggled and I rolled my eyes, "No big deal"
"It wasn't kiss. Just a peck" I could feel the heat rising up to my cheeks, "But don't tell this to anyone. I just blurted that out to you"
"No promises" he grinned at me.
"I kinda feel bad I guess. Sometimes" I lower my voice playing with the hem of my shirt, "I thought we guys were having something special. Or maybe kinda processing to become friends. He opened up for a moment in front of me. But then I feel like he regrets about sharing anything personal"
"Are you beginning to like Kunj?" Theo mumbled eyeing me suspiciously. "Is that bad?" I retorted and he shook his head, "Don't answer my question with yours"
"It's not bad" He muttered rubbing his temples, "Just think about it before looking for something serious"
"Why do you always say that? Think about before looking for something serious?" I furrowed my eyebrows looking utterly confused and he sighed, "You'll have to ask Kunj about that"
"Ugh" I groaned glaring at him, "Never mind. I don't wanna bother myself talking to that butthead" I gestured my hand in a dismissing wave.
"Why not talk to him?" I looked up at Theo who had a genuinely concerned look on his face. "Don't be sorry. Nothing I can't handle" I smiled tapping his shoulder.
"Wow" Theo mumbled after a few minutes, "A month and we become this close" He gestured his hand in between us and I smiled, "I know right. Honestly, I trust you the way I trust my friends. So, welcome to the family dipshit"
He chuckled and gave me a side hug before getting up, "Alright. Enough of this melodrama" he grabbed my hand pulling me up too, "We are gonna make you like a bombass in my party . Every guy would be swooning over you"
"I think I'm fine" even my voice sounded reluctant into not agreeing. "Why does it sounds like you are interested too?" He questions smirking and I sighed giving up.
"Fine" I chuckled, "But you better kiss the ground I walk on"
"Can I kiss you all three" Theo mumbled beaming at me and I rolled my eyes pushing him but smiled. "Because you three look fucking incredible" He murmured whistling.
Twinkle dress;
Maira's dress;
Chloe's dress;
I smirked, "Of course. Our make up artist is incredible"
"And that's me" Ben appeared from the washroom, his demeanour changing as he saw Theo. I nodded smiling because surprisingly, Ben is blessed with the art in his hands and does the best make up ever.
"That's am-amazing" Theo cleared his throat wandering his eyes around the room and I could see the awkwardness trailing between these two.
"Theo" Maira called out from near the window, "Here they come. Your house is gonna be trashed with 'sweaty, horny, sex deprived teenagers' soon"
Theo grinned, "Babe, you have never been to my parties. That's why. Because they are the most entertaining ones"
"You thickhead" Maira turned around crossing her arms, "I have literally lived my whole life with you and Jacob wandering around us. So, I know what your definition of a entertainment is. Teenagers having sex in the pool, grinding on the dance floor etc"
Everyone of us laughed and Theo turned bright red sweeping his gaze past everyone. But why did it seem to me that he was secretly avoiding Ben's gaze.
And why the heck is Ben looking so intently and with a hint of frustration at Theo?
Am I just hallucinating?
Ben's gaze snapped towards me and he realized that I saw him staring. 'We need to talk later on' I mouthed to him before Chloe appeared fully ready.
"Let's get this party started" I heard Dhruv's voice from downstairs and went with the rest of them.
"Enjoying the party so far?" I looked up at Jacob and Maira coming towards me, Chloe and Dhruv. "Yup" Dhruv took a sip from his drink nodding enthusiastically.
"Hey hey love birds" Chloe grinned at them clicking their pictures. "Do you guys know what's the new hottest rumour circulating these days at your school?" Dhruv asked smirking at them and they shook their head.
"Jacob Charles; the overly exaggerated handsome guy with a crooked nose and the loner with anger management issues Maira Sarna are dating"
"I don't have a crooked nose"
"I am not a loner"
Maira and Jacob both protested at the same time and I smirked.
"Dhruv?" We averted our attention to the person who called him and I groaned internally. "It's been years. How have you been?" I glanced at Dhruv who visibly shuddered eyeing Melody.
Melody walked towards us wrapping her arms around Dhruv and I gagged making Jacob and Chloe laugh while Maira was trying not to murder her.
"Uh yeah" Dhruv patted her back awkwardly. "Oh. How I missed you" She gave her sickening laugh and I rolled my eyes.
"Trust me. I still can't believe it's been almost two years since you have left school" She pouted her lips and learned against him.
What the hell?
"Melody" Dhruv shifted uncomfortably pushing her back gently, "We just made out once. Why are you being so clingy?"
I suppressed a laugh a Maira and Jacob couldn't hide their amusement. "I wasn't aware of this an-" I leaned in to talk to Chloe but furrowed my eyebrows in confusion eyeing her very irritated and frustrated expression.
"Chloe? You okay?" I tapped her shoulder and she snapped her gaze away from Dhruv and Melody nodding. "Y-yeah. I just need some fresh air" she muttered glancing at them once again and disappearing outside.
I looked out Dhruv who quickly averted his gaze to Chloe who was walking towards the front yard and gave a defeated sigh.
Am I the only one noticing people behave awkwardly today?
It's just that you are awkward yourself so yeah….
Passing by people dancing, chatting or basically making out, I made my out towards the front yard.
"Chloe. Damn it. Wait" I grumbled trying to catch up with her. She stopped leaning against the walls and slid down sighing out loud.
I silently took a seat beside her mot wanting to push her and waited until she decided to open up. Or maybe not so I decided to get up before she held my hand pulling me down.
"I am not naive" She mumbled playing with her fingers, "Yes, I know. I know Nat likes me" she took in a sharp breath and I gaped at her. "Then why did you.."
"It might be shocking for you" she breathed out a nervous laugh almost sounding way to heartbreaking. "I have always been in love" she closed her eyes shut and I looked on boggled.
"Why didn't you ever told us?" I mumbled and she looked down at her lap her shoulders slacking, "Way too complicated"
"Who's that…person?" I hesitated, already kinda knowing the answer and she finally looked at me.
I snapped my gaze away from her staring ahead and squeezed my eyes shut. "All along it's just been him. I tried to act oblivious regarding Nat. Thinking he might get over it"
"Trust me, Twinkle" my heart broke at how much vulnerable and broken her voice sounded, "It hurts so bad knowing I'd have to hurt Nat in the end. He's my best friend; almost close to brother"
"Please say something" She mumbled taking my hand and I looked up at her, my heart clenching at the tears in her eyes.
"You and Dhruv…" I cleared my throat, "Are together? In a relationship?"
"No" she breathed out a sarcastic laugh almost too painful, "No. No. He's a fucking coward" she shook her head.
"We slept together" She muttered lowering her gaze. "I am not ashamed I did it. Remember last year in summer, after his birthday party"
I nodded unable to comprehend all of this.
"The next morning, he fucking told me it was nothing. Nothing." Her voice laced with abhorrence, "But I knew it. I could see it on his face. He was scared. He slept with someone so much younger than him, his little sister's best friend. And many more things"
And that's when I lost it.
"All along" I stood up frustrated, "So much's been happening in your life. And you never told me and Maira? You have been keeping things in your head the all time? How did your mind not explode already?"
She blinked taken aback, "You are not mad by every thing I told you? But you are mad because I have been keeping way too many things with me and eventually that would make me mad?"
"Yes" I groaned, "You are a sister to me, Chloe. I care for you as much as I care for Dhruv. I would have never supported my brother in this case"
"I know" she mumbled weakly wiping the stray tears on her cheek. "Honestly, it's been so hard handling all of this. Getting to see Dhruv these days, how he constantly would flirt with other girls and I don't even know if he ever felt the same about me. And then Nat"
My heart clenched at how broken she sounded and I pulled her in a tight hug. "Don't worry, Chloe. We are always with you. Everything would be okay"
"You sound so weird comforting people" she chuckled sniffing and pulled back while I hit her arm. "Bitch. Here I am trying to soothe your wounds and you are taunting me"
"Let's go back. Shall we?" I ask and she nodded retouching her make up. "Twinkle"
"Yeah?" I looked up from my phone. "You know I would never use Nat to make Dhruv jealous, right?"
"You didn't even had to assure me about that" I smiled at her, "Dhruv doesn't freaking gets he's missing on a precious gem with a golden heart" I pointed at her and she shrugged.
What a mess this is.
I am stuck in between my brother and best friends.
Help me, Mulan.
Hey hey hey.
Here's another boring chapter for you all.
The story is heating up and I can't wait for you guys to read more of it.
Was it a shock for You? Dhruv and Chloe?
Kunj's POV soon coming up in Chapter 19. Really excited to write it.
Thank you for the support on the last chapter.

Baoyuan Dumpling
China, Beijing Shi, Chaoyang Qu, Maizidian St, 6号楼
+86 10 6586 4967
Photo by Ziyun Ma
Baoyuan DumplingsDumplings are a northern Chinese staple—inexpensive, hearty, and with a variety of fillings—and the boiled dumplings (shuijiao) at Baoyuan don't disappoint. What sets them apart from your corner dumpling shop is the colored dumpling skins, dyed with juice from spinach, tomatoes, carrots, and purple cabbage. Customize your order by choosing your skin and filling—say, a spinach dumpling filled with cucumber, cilantro, pork, and lotus root, or a cabbage-dyed purple wrapper with bean sprouts, crispy rice, pork, and cabbage inside. There's no denying that these dumplings photograph well, and that, plus the quirky venue—two dining rooms reached by a stroll through a fake garden and over a bridge—makes this a worthy place for a cheap and cheerful lunch or dinner.

Rainbow-colored Dumplings
Baoyuan makes the kind of dumplings we'd happily eat all the time. The crispy rice and red cabbage dumpling (blanketed with a vibrant purple wrapper) is a fan favorite, as is the smoked tofu and eggplant. This dumpling joint is incredibly popular with locals, so expect to elbow out the competition for a seat at the table. Little English is spoken here, but that doesn't actually matter, as they have giant picture menus perfect for pointing and gesturing.

Breakfast of Champions, retirees from Gloucester Engineering enjoy breakfast at Charlie's
I believe there was one non-retiree, that joined the group
Here's a new feature for tomorrow's (SAT) Downtown Block Party: Win Cool Prizes!
The Block Party's new Marketplace at the Cape Ann Savings Bank Plaza between Hancock and Porter Streets (see map) has a new game called Glosta-opoly played on a brand new Monopoly-style board created by members of Art Haven.
You can play the game for free and win wicked-cool Prizes including CDs by top local artists including Chelsea Berry, Julie Dougherty, Michael Thomas Doyle, Allen Estes, Tom Hauck, Orleans "Still the One Live", Renee & Joe, T Max, plus a limited edition Celebrate Gloucester 2010 2 DVD set, limited edition Celebrate Gloucester 2007 Staff T-Shirt, hats & shirts & pens from Gloucester Engineering, jar openers and shot glasses from Ryan and Wood, creations and services from the Teen Artist Guild, gift certificates for From Dust to Dawn Cleaning services from Holly Ciancola and Whitmarsh Lock and Safe, energy bars and candies from Sunny Variety, Mardi Gras beads and glow sticks from Cape Ann Lanes, free car washes from Maplewood Car Wash, gift certificates from downtown merchants and more . . .
Revised Entertainment Schedule
There have been a couple of minor changes to the entertainment — click here for all entertainment by stage. Click here for all musical entertainment by time.
Don't sweat the parking. I'm always surprised when I hear people complain about parking in Gloucester. Honestly, I've never had trouble finding a parking space — not even during Fiesta. Last night I went to the Harbor Loop Concert. I got there after it started on a beautiful summer night in the height of the tourist season when every local hotel is full and what do you know? I found a parking space on Rogers Street at Harbor Loop! In fact I had my choice of at least half a dozen free (after 6) spots on Rogers within earshot of the music. Plus there were plenty of spaces at I4-C2. So don't worry about the few Main Street parking spots that are not available during the Block Party. Trust me. You won't have a problem finding a space within a couple minutes walk.
Per our discussion in the GMG comment section I contend that if the energy produced and saved results were made available online that it would make the proponents happy and the skeptics happy if the results are what they've been projected.
Without the data the general public whose tax dollars erre used in part to fund it are left to (pardon the pun) drift in the wind.
Can you request that at one of your meetings?
Anyone else who would be interested in tjis data chime in on the vomments to this pist as well.

Hi Joey,
I am sure you are inundated with windmill photos, but I took these this
evening (11.23). I only had my little point and shoot camera, but it did ok
capturing the windmill being built now. I thought it was great that they
have a stand with markers for people to use to sign the blades. Amazing to
get up close to one of the 45 meter blades. And to think this one is
smaller than the one at Varian.

Its approval by the Court is an important milestone in the company's path toward exiting bankruptcy and allows the creditors to vote upon the Plan. Ballots were sent to the creditors on November 17 and a Confirmation Hearing is scheduled for December 20, 2010.
"We are very pleased with the Court's decision, which paves the way for the company to emerge from bankruptcy by the end of the year."
The company's Plan of Reorganization is being sponsored by an affiliate of Blue Wolf Capital Fund II ("Blue Wolf") and has the support of the Creditors' Committee.

It's not a pretty fight. High-profile attacks, such as the WannaCry ransomware outbreak, the Marriott data breach, and the City of Atlanta cyberattack, reflects the high stakes of losing a cyber slugfest. The cyberthreat landscape has intensified for businesses in the past five years, so it's no surprise that small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are quaking because of their known (and unknown) vulnerabilities. They don't have the time, the knowledge, or the resources to dual with a cyberthreat villain.
What SMBs look for is an ally. An ally that can protect them from all cyber threats. Enter Managed Services Providers (MSPs). An MSP equips their customers with the layered security services they need. Those customers look for solutions that not only defend their network but also reduce administrative costs, while bolstering efficiencies. Now more than ever dealers have a unique opportunity to tap into this market, helping to solidify and grow customer accounts. Entering the Managed IT services market should be part of a dealer's growth plan, because the battlefield is wide and SMBs are calling MSPs to arms!
In 2018, the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers reported that, "malicious cyber activity costs the U.S. economy between $57 billion and $109 billion." In that same report it was noted that, "private-sector companies will spend over $1 trillion globally on digital security." That is some serious money being poured into the investment of cyber armor. Is your company positioned to earn some of it?
You can learn how by attending ITEX on April 24th and 25th. ITEX will host some of the most respected experts and thought-leaders on cybersecurity. Google's Christopher Johnson, Barracuda's Gord Cairns, and CompTIA faculty member Gary Bixler are just a few who will be on-hand sharing intel on HOW your company can (and should) evolve into cybersecurity providers. It's time to enhance and grow your business, while helping to conquer the war on cyber threats.

Can the Other Speak? Productive Difficulties in Ethnic and Postcolonial Literature (NeMLA 2020) (NeMLA 2020)
Organization: NeMLA
Event: NeMLA 2020
Our 2020 NeMLA panel emerges from Gayatri Spivak's seminal question, "can the subaltern speak?" Following Spivak's response to this question, we will investigate moments when subalterns cannot speak or have difficulty speaking. Our inquiry into these moments will build on and sharpen conversations about otherness with respect to literary texts and beyond.
More precisely, our panel calls for papers that examine attempts at representing "others" who surface in ethnic and postcolonial literature. For our purposes, we define others as different from modern subjects. They are distinct because modern subjects resist the past and tradition by reducing others as their irrational and primitive inferiors who require integration into or expulsion from civilized society.
Our shared point of inquiry will be these literary others who evade, fracture, and undermine efforts to understand them. We invite proposals that promise to unpack this dynamic by examining contexts--such as ethics, postcoloniality, globalization, civil rights, post civil rights, and neoliberalism--that inform representations of putative inferiors. Our panel will scrutinize how these frameworks shape, complicate, and limit the comprehension of others.
Pursuing this matter further, we welcome papers that consider how the gaps and fissures of representing literary others disrupt structures of domination and subjugation. This line of inquiry will serve as a critique of power systems and encourage recognition of others without assimilation to modern subjectivity.
We encourage panelists to compare literary others to comparable figures in historical texts, newspapers, magazines, and other non-fictional sources. Our comparative readings of fiction and non-fiction will complicate conclusions about understanding otherness.
Submit a short bio and a three hundred word abstract through the NeMLA submissions page before September 30, 2019: https://www.cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/17988

Before, there were 4 schools for the children living in Montvalezan's 30 hamlets and villages. Start: Montvalezan village. Easy.
A village's children are a reflection of village life and community.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Montvalezan had four schools for just 500 inhabitants: in Montvalezan village, Le Crêt, Le Châtelard and Les Laix. Each school had just one class, which had around thirty pupils. Over the school year, the children moved from school to school as their family moved up or down the mountain, according to the stock of hay stored to feed their herd. The children had to walk for up to an hour a day to get from their home to school, the furthest being the boys who went to school in Le Crêt.
The 1970s were a pivotal time for the area. Traditional pastoral agriculture was modernised and La Rosière as a ski resort began to develop. The population began to settle, no longer moving around according to the seasons. In 1973, a school opened in La Rosière. For the next few years the schoolchildren were divided between the school in La Rosière and the school in Le Châtelard. In 1995, the hundred-year-old school in Le Châtelard was closed and a new school was opened in Le Chantel. Today, the younger children go to school in La Rosière and the older ones go to Le Chantel. The population has grown, and in 2009 Montvalezan had a total of 661 inhabitants with 65 children attending the two schools, a number which increases during the winter season.
Starting off at the Town Hall in Montvalezan village, walk down the road past the church. Follow the road until you reach the sign for "Les Rouges", then take the pathway up to the right. At Le Solliet, walk between the houses and the chapel. Climb up to the road then turn right. After 70m, take the path leading up to the left, through the undergrowth. When you reach Les Laix, follow the road until you reach the Saint Roch chapel and then turn left. At the water trough, turn right up the pathway to Le Pré du Four. Once you reach the village, walk past the water trough and turn left after the first house. Cross the road and take the path on the opposite side of the road. In Hauteville, walk behind the first house and past the chapel, then take the first path leading downhill. When you reach La Combaz, follow the lane which leads to the road. At the crossroads, take the path across the road, then at the sign for "Chamousse" turn right and follow the path around the edge of the field. When you reach Le Châtelard, head towards the Saint Michel chapel. At the foot of the hill go down the path to the left. When you get to Le Villaret, cross the road and continue down the path, past the Saint André and Notre Dame de Liesse chapels. Go through Le Crey. At Les Perrières the path crosses the road twice, then carries on down towards Montvalezan village.

From time to time developer faces with the need to perform some action with the item in the scope of administrative user. In such case there are two possibilities:
SecurityDisabler and UserSwitcher.
Both of them allows developer to solve the task. So, let's what is the difference between them and which of them is most preferable to use.
The SecurityDisabler elevates the users permission (temporarily) to administrator rights and so context user will be able to do anything on the system. Such ability could have the potential to be very dangerous to use and errors to potentially be very costly. An interesting side effect is that anything done with the SecurityDisabler will show up as being done by the sitecore\Anonymous role, messing up the audit trail.
private void SecurityDisablerExample(Sitecore.Data.Items.Item itemToEdit, Sitecore.Data.Items.Item itemToDelete) { using (new Sitecore.SecurityModel.SecurityDisabler()) { itemToEdit.Editing.BeginEdit(); try { itemToEdit["Title"] = "Title from Code"; //Commit the changes itemToEdit.Editing.EndEdit(); } catch (Exception) { //Revert the Changes itemToEdit.Editing.CancelEdit(); } //Using sitecore\testuser to delete an Item itemToDelete.Delete(); } }
UserSwitcher allows a segment of code to run under a specific user instead of current context user.
private void SecurityUserSwitcherExample(Sitecore.Data.Items.Item itemToEdit, Sitecore.Data.Items.Item itemToDelete) { //User which is already created in Sitecore User Manager string testUser = @"sitecore\testuser"; //User existing or not if (Sitecore.Security.Accounts.User.Exists(testUser)) { //Getting Sitecore User Object with UserName Sitecore.Security.Accounts.User scUser = Sitecore.Security.Accounts.User.FromName(testUser, false); //Switching Context User using (new Sitecore.Security.Accounts.UserSwitcher(scUser)) { //Using EditContext to edit an Item using (new Sitecore.Data.Items.EditContext(itemToEdit)) { itemToEdit["Text"] = "Modified Text from Code"; } //Using sitecore\testuser to delete an Item itemToDelete.Delete(); } } }
Assuming we have set up the access for the TestUser account correctly and pass some content item to modify and home item to delete. In case of SecurityDisabler all actions will be done. In case of UserSwitcher content item will be updated but on execution of delete action AccessDeniedException will be thrown because TestUser doesn't have appropriate rights.
Although this is a trivial example, it does point out the dangers of the SecurityDisabler.
Base on the information above I would recommend to configure special user with the appropriate rights (such approach could save us from dangerous in the future) and use UserSwitcher instead of using SecurityDisabler.

University of Alabama's Quad Listed Among the Best in College
A local landmark has been recognized among the best in the country. A ranking along with Harvard, Yale and MIT. The only school in Alabama to make this list and the only one in the SEC. Lots of bragging rights for something many of may take for granted. The Quad.
UA's Quad is mentioned second in a list of the 'Most Beautiful and Iconic American College Quads.' A ranking by Business Insider, sharing:
Many of these collegiate spaces appear on the US National Register of Historic Places and are considered among the most iconic examples of American architecture and design.
No doubt, the most recognizable feature to our Quad is the 115 foot tall Denny Chimes tower. An area flooded by Crimson Tide fans in the fall for some of the best tailgating in football!
Take a look at the video below featuring a walk through the gameday sea of Crimson. Roll Tide!

Advent Meditations: Tuesday, December 25By Cynthia Briggs Kittredge
Christmas Day
Psalm 66, 67, 116, 117 • Isaiah 11:10–16 • Luke 1:5–25
A stable lamp is lighted whose glow shall wake the sky;
the stars shall bend their voices, and every stone shall cry.
And every stone shall cry, and straw like gold shall shine;
a barn shall harbour heaven, a stall become a shrine.
Just after dawn, the pilgrims from Texas arrived at the Shepherds' Field outside of Bethlehem. Jane Patterson, John Lewis, and our guide, Iyad Qumri, sought out locations that were off the well-trod track, and at an early hour, before the crowds. We found the cave, and one by one, we crawled through its narrow opening. It came to pass that the cave's electric wiring had gone out, so we huddled in the cool dampness, crouched on rock seats together in the dark, until one or two of us turned on our iPhone flashlights. It was a place this bare and unequipped where Mary bore Jesus and where she and Joseph first cradled him. It was this impoverished world that Jesus was born to redeem. As we sang the words of the carol by the poet Richard Wilbur, we saw each other's faces shining in the dim light. Later that day we would visit the Church of the Holy Nativity, the traditional site of Jesus' birth, but it was this circle, twinkling in the dark, that I remember as the shrine of the incarnation.
Holy God, we thank you for your mercy and love and for the gift of your child, born in poverty and danger. Amen.
