Foundations of Faith
It is not enough to say that "I am a Christian", for during the course of the 19th century this same term became a mantle for all kinds of heretics. They broadened and broadened the licence of the name, while abolishing creeds and confessions as divisive, until what was left was ostensibly ecumenical but which was, in fact, quite meaningless. We cannot be vaguely "Christian" for long. We each have a position on the Trinity, on the Sacraments, on Creation, on Salvation, on every facet of the Christian life and doctrine as revealed in the Word of God. And it is precisely because some people have distorted the meaning of the Holy Scriptures that we each have to nail our colours to the mast and own the specifics of our faith. If we do not know what we believe (and why), we will allow ourselves to be influenced unthinkingly and we will sway with the breeze and believe what others want us to believe.
~ Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever ~
This is my presupposition. It comes from the catechism of the Westminster Assembly in the 17th century, which had its roots in the English Reformation of the 16th century. I take delight in such heritage, while not leaning on it as mere tradition. It is a summary of Protestant truth, rooted in Calvinistic and Reformed soil. It is also a plumb-line, by which to test the beliefs of the modern Church, an organisation that is more likely to believe today that God's chief end is to make people happy. Of course, this is not true and the convert is bound to be disappointed in God for not granting his every wish. If such people retain a profession of faith, it is often out of pity, with a patronising "I'll stick with God, in spite of ..." - as we might refer to a faithful old dog that cannot help being blind and deaf. If we make ourselves the centre of our Christianity, we will look down on God. If God is the centre and his glory our goal, we will not be obsessed with ourselves for long.
* "Should not" because it is a product of Romanticism to believe that our art, books, plays and music are a revelation of spiritual truth to change the world, with the artistic-person becoming the ultimate hero to procure society's redemption. All such thinking produces cults around an individual and always deviates from the order appointed by God. His Word alone is able to change the world and His ministers, acting and blessed by the Holy Spirit of God, may preach that Word to reform an evil age. My own writings do not feature in this context at all.
My books are intrinsically counter-cultural. I wave a banner for a society reformed by God. But I am not under any illusions. My writings will not and should not* change the world.
Look at the picture below. The Church is in an even worse condition than this old castle. Ivy has grown over the walls of the Church and covered the windows, blocking light from illuminating the interior.
In my writings, I climb up the outside wall and pick the ivy away from one of the windows. It is unpleasant work, as anyone who has pulled ivy will know. It gets under your nails and when a clump of ivy comes off, the dust clouds into your hair. I am clearing ivy off one window. (There are so many other windows, for other people to clear - whether their field is medicine, or history, or mathematics.) That light is not to glorify music or myself, it is a means of helping people within the Church seeing their way more clearly.
I am by training a composer and so, in between pulling ivy off the outside of the window, I step back into the building and look at the window from the other point of view. This allows me to keep sight of where the ivy is, but also to benefit from the light myself. As I have exposed the idolatry of music, my own compositions have improved and my skills have been enhanced. Thought changes action.
Under this analogy, I am not doing anything for people on the outside of the Church. Non-Christians often believe in music as an alternative religion. I cannot persuade such people to disbelieve in music by reason, for all I have tried. They need the Gospel and when they hear it, they will let go of believing in music for themselves. So, while I am frankly critical in my examination of the non-Christian view of music - for it often adversely affections Christians - I do not argue with non-Christians about music. We will never agree and the argument would only be for the sake of arguing.
My perspective is expounded in my books and briefly in the blogs on this site. I welcome cordial conversations with fellow-Christians who have read my books and request a disclosure of religious affiliation on the contact form so I can respectfully know where you are coming from. That said, I will not debate or argue. Time is too precious to me and confrontation on music is often a mask for an argument on doctrinal matters and Scriptural interpretation. While I would gladly talk about such things in person, the online sphere is an inappropriate medium for such discussions and tends to escalate out of control, eating time and going no where.
Comments are posted at my discretion.
Removing the ivy has consequences. People within the Church are forced to see the ugliness outside more clearly. It cannot be helped - nor should it. The Calvinist, it has been said, should never be shocked by sin. The world is desperately wicked and in dire need of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. Since that society rejects Him, it ought to be in a mess and it is in a mess. With the exception of the tender minds of little children, we should not obscure the wickedness, pulling a curtain across the degradation in order to spare our own blushes.
I am not creating anything, hence the analogy of the ivy. The truth was always there. I am not saying something new. I am not making a new Church or changing its location. I am trying to restore what was there and help other Christians to see it so that they may walk more boldly in the light of God's Word.
This is no grand gesture. Neither is it a quick fix. Ivy grows back. There is no place for smugness or complacency. We do not pick the ivy off the window and then say, "That's it, we can relax now." I have been doing this for over 12 years, whether or not people are watching, whether or not people were buying and reading my books. And I am only just beginning to see the scope of the task and the shallowness of my progress. But this is how I glorify God.

Kevin Durant's Hip-Hop Picks @ Amoeba Music
1: A Tribe Called Quest Midnight Marauders (Jive)
2: Mac Dre The Genie of The Lamp (Thizz Nation)
Ronald Dregan: Dreganomics (Thizz Nation)
3: Souls Of Mischief 93 Til Infinity (Jive)
4: J Dilla Donuts (Stones Throw)
5: Ol' Dirty Bastard Return To The 36 Chambers (Get On Down)
As reported here, over this past weekend newly signed Golden State Warriors member Kevin Durant hit the streets to explore his newly adopted home of the Bay Area. The NBA star's Bay exploration, inspired by tips from Warriors fans who responded to KD's online requests for suggestions of things to do in the Bay, included a shopping spree at Amoeba Music Berkeley where his crate diggin' resulted in picking up some Mac Dre and Souls Of Mischief, among many others. And note that all of the picks were on vinyl since Kevin Durant is a serious record collector with a steadily growing vinyl library.

Bonus Hiero Day: Del The Funky Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love, Tajai, Phesto, Opio, A-Plus, DJ Toure & Domino - June 25 @ UC Theatre
It will truly be a Hiero Day on Saturday, June 25th in Berkeley at the UC Theatre. That's when the entire Hieroglyphics hop-hop ensemble will be performing on stage on the one night. Yep that's all the members of the 25 year strong legendary Oakland collective: Del the Funky Homosapien, Casual, the mighty Souls of Mischief (Opio, A-Plus, Phesto, and Tajai), Pep Love, Domino and DJ Toure. Having all these Hiero acts on the same stage on the same date doesn't even always happen on the official Hiero Day: the annual hip-hop music and culture festival that the veteran crew curate in their hometown each Labor Day weekend. In its five short years Hiero Day has rapidly grown and blossomed to become an institution, and one to be officially recognized as such by the City Of Oakland.
"I live in the Town now. My son goes to school here," LA born emcee Bambu (pictured above) told the early afternoon audience at Hiero Day 4 this past Monday (September 7th) between songs by his political rap group Native Guns from the Imperium Stage - one of several
"No negativity," stressed Bambu gesturing out across the large scale, violence free, annual festival that would again prove the naysayers wrong in that Oakland (aka The Town) can indeed produce a peaceful, positive, uplifting hip-hop festival with no negativity, just positivity! While the credit for this accomplishment goes to all of the participants - both on stage and off - it primarily goes to the Hieros themselves. As the event's producers, they have crafted something quite amazing out of their combined love of the culture that gave them their careers and the city that gave them their start. Indeed Hiero Day is the ultimate celebration of all things positive about Oakland, CA with the Hieroglyphics collective embodying and embracing the very essence of Oakland in 2015. Not too surprisingly then that former Mayor Jean Quan formally recognized September 3rd (9/3) as Hiero Day two years ago. However the Hieros themselves have done more to uplift The Town than any politician with a skewed agenda ever could!
Hip-Hop Rap-Up: Hip Hop In The Park, Souls of Mischief in NYC, Top 5, E-Lit's New Releases, Amoeba Converse Exhibit + more
This weekend marks the nineteenth year of Hip Hop In The Park - Berkeley's annual free, all ages, all elements inclusive, hip-hop event in Peoples Park, located behind Amoeba Berkeley. Since 1997, the Students For Hop Hop @ Cal have been presenting this always fun afternoon celebration of hip-hop culture. This year's headliner is Fashawn who has been winning over a whole wave of fans since connecting with Nas and the Queensbridge rapper's new label, Mass Appeal, on which he released the critically acclaimed The Ecology two months ago. Just in the past week, the Fresno rapper unleashed the album's second single and accompanying video, "Higher."
The Souls of Mischief along with their childhood friend and director of the engaging documentary on the Hiero crew, 'Til Infinity, Shomari Smith are all in New York City right now for the screening of the film tonight at the Helen Mills Theater on West 26th Street as part of the New York City International Film Festival (NYCIFF 2015). So far, the veteran Oakland hip-hop crew have included doing an interview with Birthplace magazine, and stopping by an old friend's radio show.
On his past Friday night's HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maher, the long time outspoken supporter of pot legalization said that 4/20 (aka today's date April 20th) should be made an official national holiday. He says this because already it is the day set aside to fully celebrate the positive effects of weed and the advancements and recent strides towards marijuana legalization and its accepted use for medical uses - it just needs a Federal stamp of approval. In showing his sincerity for his proposal Bill Maher noted that he had alredy created a Change.org petition that calls on Congress to make every year's April 20 date a national weed-related holiday. He is serious and has consistently championed the legalization of pot, routinely calling out President Obama on his slowness to fully promote legalization on a national level.
You can sign the Change.Org petition here which has already reached about 80% of its desired petition signees. Despite the general lax attitude towards weed in California these days, thanks mostly to the efforts of those who fought for medical cannabis legalization which date back to Proposition 215 (AKA the Compassionate Use Act of 1996) the California law concerning the use of medical cannabis, it is important to remember that it is still not legal for recreation use in the Golden State. And hence why a couple of grassroots political groups have recent filed ballot initiatives to try and make weed (medical and recreational) more accessible to adults in the State.The California Craft Cannabis Initiative is for both full legalization and for initiating both a cannabis trademark and a state cannabis commission. Meanwhile the other recently filed ballot initiative is The Compassionate and Sensible Access Act which is more of a health-care (versus recreational) rooted initiative that is pushing for weed to be viewed and fully accepted as a "legitimate, alternative medicinal treatment." Both of these (or just one or neither) could well end up next year (2016) for voters in California to make a decision on at the ballots.

First of all, a disclaimer: I am not endorsing any political candidate (at least not here on this blog). I am intrigued, though, with the interest of the press in the religious beliefs of Democratic presidential candidates.
Just this past week, a Salon headline proclaimed:
The popularity of Bernie Sanders speaks volumes about Americans' rejection of organized religion
Bernie Sanders' lack of religious faith is more normal in America than many pundits and politicians seem to think
Now that may be true. However, Sanders, who is Jewish, did express his religious belief: "I think everyone believes in God in their own ways. To me, it means that all of us are connected, all of life is connected, and that we are all tied together."
Wow! I have a lot more in common with Bernie than many of my fellow Christians.
Then there's Hillary. Delivering the sermon at Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington, D.C. in September, she talked about how her religious upbringing informs her life today. She described the Methodist church and her fellow Methodists as "a source of support, of honest reflection, of candid critique."
From her mother, she took to heart the quote by John Wesley: "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can. I can't argue with that either.
As I said, I'm intrigued. After all the noise from candidates appealing to the religious right about "our Christian nation," etc. it's refreshing to hear religious beliefs coming from the left. The faith of conservative Christian candidates may be quite sincere (although I have my doubts about the "I drink my little wine and have my little cracker" remark), but they don't represent my brand of Christianity. I'm much more comfortable with Hillary and Bernie.
So, while Bernie may be appealing to the non-religious and Hillary doesn't wear her faith on her sleeve, all that this member of the spiritual and religious left can say is "Amen!"

V-Kei band with former members of Versailles presents us today 3 new tracks and literally blow us out of our socks with their Japanese melodic metal! Once again we reach out further then our own borders and give you an exotic taste!
Theory of Evolution also has a nice clip that looks a bit like an outtake from Final Fantasy (the video game): just look at their faces and the way they are dressed up! The music is power driven but very melodic and despite that fact that I don't understand any Japanese it really appeals to me and keeps me captivated within their world. It's simply amazing how strong and how good they sound and that's coming in from the very first time you listen to it! As they got formed in April 2013, but recently found themselves a new lead singer who listens to the name Kuze it's really hard to believe that they are not international stars who are very well known in Europe, so let's give them a thumbs up and a little push in the back and who knows somebody might book them during some kind of convention!
Bring Me Out is the next one and rocks from the start with hammering drums and steamy guitar chords. The vocals sound a bit sharper and remind me a bit of a mix between Dee Snider and Bruce Dickinson.
Angel's Wings sounds a bit harsher, with grunts and vocals that sounds more like coming from a monster. The backings render in a perfect way the more aggressive feel of this track. Halfway the track the vocals become sweeter and softer, with even some words in English. It's a fuelled track, the perfect way to end this way too short EP. You all know that if I write way too short it means: I want more as I really LOVE it!
I hope you get hooked on them! More new material will be released in 2019, so until then: enjoy this one!

Our Location
Our base is in Edmonton, Alberta.
Our goal: To Keep Calm and Coffee On!
Who We Are
We are Carly and Michael and are the founders of Raefen Coffee Roasters. We chose the coffee world to slow it down and share stories with people over a freshly roasted cup of coffee (or tea). We believe in the power of connection through the stories of one's life.
You can usually catch me (Carly) at the farmers markets and events around Edmonton. I am the one who has travelled and love to entertain people about the wonderful connections made while travelling. I am also the wearer of many hats in this business. My experience of over 25+ years as a cook and chef along with the travel adventures, has helped me to create Raefen as more than just a coffee roasting company. When you meet me you will find out straight away the passion I have for the product I sell and the people I have met over the years that contribute to the many chapters of my life. I am all about the unique connection that our tales of woe or glory told over a cup of Raefen's freshly roasted coffee can make.
Michael is an investor and partner with Carly in Raefen. He is a power engineer that still works up north however, on his days off he is roasting Raefen's amazing coffee and, on occasion, at the farmers markets to connect with our supporters. His goal is to retire into the coffee world! Michael's love of coffee and the flavour profiles one can achieve from roasting as well as the connections he can make through a (soon to be) roastery cafe, inspired him to invest in this little venture called Raefen Coffee Roasters.
Come share a cup of coffee and story with us at a local farmers market real soon!

Bermuda Regiment recruits get all fired up
Royal Bermuda Regiment soldiers have completed their first training on the rifle range.
And Sergeant Patricia Alexander, who runs 7 Platoon as well as being a qualified range conducting officer, said: �Their shooting is pretty good � better than I expected. But a lot of them are really excited about the shooting and that helps a lot.�
Sergeant Alexander, aged 29, from Warwick and an analyst with the Bermuda Monetary Authority, said the RBR�s new SA-80 rifles, standard British Army issue in Bermuda with high-tech sights and donated by the UK Ministry of Defence free of charge, had helped improve accuracy on the range compared to the previous RBR stock of ageing Mini Rugers. She explained: �The SA-80 is an easier weapon to shoot due to the sights and that seems to help with the results.�
New recruits took to the ranges last weekend after intensive training on breaking down and reassembling the rifles � all with a strict emphasis on safety.
Sergeant Alexander added: �All of my Corporals are safety staff and they oversee the ranges. It�s very much a matter of safety first.�
She was speaking as trainee soldiers entered their final week of this year�s two week Recruit Camp.
Sergeant Alexander said: �They are all doing well � they�re putting in their best effort, working hard and working together.
�Now it�s just a matter of continuing to dig deep because it only gets tougher.�

When I first heard this expression, I decided it was a philosophy that could easily be applied to music. It means, simply, that as drummers we can lead or follow or work unobtrusively in the background.
One of the best examples of a drummer who leads is Buddy Rich. Yes, it was his own band, and of course he led it from behind the set. Another leader, oddly, is Charlie Watts. From the opening notes of any Rolling Stones tune, it's quite evident that Charlie is in charge.
Staying with our theme of '60s relics, two not-too-obvious 'followers' are Keith Moon and John Bonham. Despite all the flash and bravura, these guys sat on their band mates' coat tails. Keith Moon followed Roger Daltry; John Bonham took his cues from Jimmy Page.
You might think that getting -- or staying -- out of the way would be a bad thing, a sort of non-performance. Again an unexpected example: Vinnie Callaiuta. Monster player, but a lot of the time he's very nearly invisible. Whether he's backing up Paul Simon or Jeff Beck, he works subtly in the background, content to let the music come first.
Of course on any given gig, the drummer can move through all three roles, depending on the music, the ensemble's needs and, naturally, the mood. If the band is struggling to lock things in, a strong drummer can take the lead and help sort things out. If the band has a strong leader -- the vocalist, for example -- the rest of the band can pick up on his/her direction and run with it. And when the whole band is grooving, just settle back and enjoy the ride.

Heat Shrink Solution
I dropped by a local drumstick maker to say Hi and to get caught up on recent developments. They'd added a new stick to their line-up, which I rather liked, but I thought it might benefit from a rubberized grip. Well, they had one in stock. Not one pair, just one stick -- a sample, I guess. I asked if they had any more. The shop's owner grabbed a few sticks, sound-matched a pair for me and then had his technician put grips on them. I liked the result, and for a short time I had a pair of exclusive, custom-made sticks!
In an unrelated excursion, I was cruising the aisles of an electronics store and came across a display of heat-shrink tubing. Now, the above-mentioned drumstick maker had switched to heat shrink grips to get away from the mess and chemicals involved in dipped type grips (kudos to John at headhuntersdrumsticks.com). I figured that I could use some of the tubing to bulk up a pair of brushes that I found too thin. The result was excellent, so I set about retrofitting a few sticks as well. I'm now totally addicted and have added the material to all of my sticks … even some mallets and timbale sticks.
The tubing comes in a lot of different diameters. I found the 3/4" to be ideal for most uses. The 1/2" is good for very thin sticks and/or brushes (or timbale sticks). The product comes in a variety of colours, so I've colour-coded the pairs. Just for fun, I pulled a couple of worn out sticks from the trash and wrapped these as well. Bonus: the sticks are now usable again.
The material is easy to work with. You need to cut off a piece about half the length of your stick. Then you just slip it over the grip area and apply heat. I use a heat gun, but a candle will do. The tubes cost $4 for a four-foot length. Using a standard 8" length, I can cover three pairs of sticks at a cost of about $1.35 per pair. I've even made my own 'blasticks' and brooms.
Note that this is an electrical product. I don't know if it's hypo-allergenic, though my research didn't point to any obvious problems. If you're sensitive to plastics, rubbers and synthetics, you may want to keep an eye out for any reactions.

The Bible uses the term "repentance" to describe a change of heart. Many children change their behavior but you can tell by looking at them that their hearts are still in the wrong place. This session suggests practical tools for correction that put the responsibility for change on the child instead of on the parent. Use these tools alone or in combination with consequences to bring about lasting change in your child.

- It's a very effective antioxidant
- It helps to prevent cataracts
- Broccoli seems to have anti-inflammatory benefits which makes it suitable
for an anti -allergic diet
- Broccoli may be an ideal food to include in the diet for people who are low on Vitamin D. I think many of us would like to balance our Vitamin D levels, true?
I'm a firm believer in:
"If I do good for my body – my body does good for me."
Let's have a good time! Have a wonderful big bowel of steamed or boiled veggies. Add some broccoli to boost your immune system and cancer fighting agents. What about a nice wholemeal roll or some brown rice to go with it?
Love your food and have a great time.

Research leads to long road on the bikeBy Tara Whitsed
Rupert Guinness fell into endurance cycling.
The Australian sports journalist had been penning a novel on the history of cycling in the country.
While compiling a chapter on a group of intrepid cycling explorers in the 1800s called the Overlanders, Guinness said he was swept up by curiosity.
''They became folklore legends in their time,'' he said.
''They helped to establish a lot of our current road networks.''
Gripped with the desire to participate in endurance cycling, Guinness chanced upon an advert for the 2017 inaugural Indian Pacific Wheel Race — and the experience became the basis of his new book, Overlander.
It was no ordinary bike race, with competitors riding completely unassisted from Fremantle in Western Australia to the Opera House in Sydney.
Having never participated in cycling quite like this before, Guinness began training where he focused on riding alone and at night.
The time alone on the road was something Guinness struggled to deal with, as emotional demons bubbled to the surface.
''I had a few personal issues and had gone through a rough period in my life,'' he said.
Struggling with his self-esteem, Guinness said he developed an eating disorder and the mental demons he had previously battled came knocking at the door.
''It'd come from nowhere, without warning,'' he said.
It was not the only emotional battle Guinness faced during the ride: fellow participant Mike Hall was tragically killed at the peak of the race.
Guinness made the decision to not press on after the race was cancelled — but the death spurred him and other past participants to take part in an unofficial commemorative race for Mike this year.
They completed the 5000km journey in 27 days, two hours, 15 minutes and 51 seconds.
Guinness said although he still had the same demons within himself, the ride helped him to not be ashamed of his vulnerabilities.
Weekend Life has one copy of Overlander by Rupert Guinness to give away thanks to publisher Simon and Schuster.
To enter, email [email protected] and tell us what is on the front cover of Weekend Life this weekend.
Remember to include your name, address and daytime phone number.
Entries close Wednesday, August 15 at noon and the winner will be contacted by phone.

Providing for Consideration of S. 47, Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013by Representative Richard L. Hanna
Posted on 2013-02-27
HANNA. I rise today in support of the rule which provides for
consideration of S. 47, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act
of 2013.
Mr. Speaker, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act has been successful. We have seen its benefits. It has saved lives and helped millions of women find safety, security, and self-sufficiency. While there are deeply held differences about some policies in the bill we consider today, now is the time to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act.
If a daughter, sister, or perfect stranger were raped, battered, or needed help, no one would ask or care what her ethnicity, national origin, or sexual orientation was before coming to her aid--nor should the Violence Against Women Act. No community, no person should be neglected when it comes to domestic violence. As a father of a young daughter, Grace Catherine, I don't know or care what her orientation is--and neither should Congress. I simply know that she and all women and girls should be equally protected under its laws.
We have an opportunity now to finally pass a bipartisan, inclusive Violence Against Women Act that service providers, law enforcement and, most importantly, all victims deserve. I urge my colleagues to support this rule and the underlying bill.


text: New executive MBA for OHS professionals introduced by UFred By safety-reporter.com 09/18/2013| www.cos-mag.com The Sandermoen School of Business at the University of Fredericton (UFred) is launching an executive MBA (EMBA) in occupational health and safety (OHS) leadership. Responding to what it calls a clear need for OHS leaders to have access to master's level education, the new online program was developed with input from the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE).Evidence has shown that well-designed and managed OHS programs support healthy, resilient and productive workforces, contributing to financially sound organizations, according to UFred. As a result, OHS programs and processes are winning more prominent visibility in the executive-level agenda.To address the need for an expanding OHS leadership voice, this program has been developed to significantly enhance management-related educational opportunities for advanced-career professionals and managers of OHS units who aspire to lead their businesses towards much higher performance.Beginning on Jan. 6, 2014, with subsequent entry points five times per year, the program will cover a spectrum of topics from management essentials, such as accounting, finance and operations, to a detailed examination of leadership within a network of complex stakeholder relationships. It finishes with a series of specialty track courses and an integration project focused on building OHS-related leadership competence.With a tuition fee of $24,500, there will be fourteen fully online courses, each completed in a seven-week, fixed-agenda format, with one "live" webinar a week. If courses are taken one at a time in sequence and without a break, the duration of the MBA program would be two years, five months."For CSSE's CHSC (certified health and safety consultant) designation holders, the value of this program goes beyond its convenient fully online format and affordable tuition, as they will receive a one-course advanced standing by virtue of the successful completion of the CHSC educational program requirements," says CSSE education director Dylan Short.[span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"][/span] See More Articles in Leadership ▶ Related Articles Can you spot the fake credentials?

Get Your Ex Back Now!
Getting your ex to rekindle hier passion for you again
Reminisce when you and your ex couldn't keep your mitts off each other?
You couldn't stay away from each other, were practically joined at the hip!
Now that you're violated up and attempting to get back together it feels bizarre
because you've bot away from each other for so long. Don't fear! There
are ways to re-ignite that spark that wasgoed merienda there:
* Take care of your appearance. You might even go for a totally different or
dramatic look! This may mean a switch of hair color, a different hair cut,
fresh clothes, getting te better form.
* Don't rush into it. Don't always be available when she calls. Let the
voicemail pick up for a switch! Make hier wonder what you are doing and
who you may be with. Leave hier wondering about you. Become a mystery
and she will not be able to stand against you!
* Limit or even pauze voeling for a while. Preferably the very first 30 days after a
pauze up. I know it is hard because you miss hier so much, but you have to
permit hier space and time to actually miss you again. This means no face
book, myspace or emailing spil well spil phone calls!
* Date. If you don't, at least get your social life up and running. The sapphic
world is little so she will get word that you are out and about, looking excellent
and acting certain. You are having joy and don't "need" hier. Instant turn
* After 30 days (or longer) one of you may initiate voeling. Keep it light! A
quick email telling "Hello, how have you bot?" is good enough. No
begging, no telling how much you miss hier, no asking if she's dating. Brief
* After some voeling has bot re-established don't get too lovey-dovey too
soon! Treat hier like you treat any casual friend. Be polite and friendly but
don't talk about the relationship at all.
* Keep your hobbies and interests. Don't spend time pining for your ex. Get
to know and love YOU! She will see this and have respect for you.
* If you are talking on the phone, always end the conversation very first. This
let's hier know you have other interests that require your attention. If she
knows you're not always accessible it will motivate hier to call or voeling
you more often. Always leave hier wanting more of you!
*Here's a Fat secret! If you truly want your ex to be almost compelled to
voeling you what you have to do is create a very powerful psychological
boost! That's done by creating a sense of curiosity and rente. Those are
the two most powerful coerces te the human mind. The fattest secret of all is
* Be a little hard to get. I'm not talking about playing mind games. I'm
simply telling don't always leap for the phone or reaction hier email Trio
seconds straks! If you're te the middle of something, finish it very first then get
back to hier. When your ex see's that you're not always available you will
have hier wondering what you may be doing, or with whom! This creates
* When you do talk to or see your ex, be epistel te the beginning. Arrange to
talk to hier or meet with hier ter the middle of your already busy day. A quick
cup of coffee or a brief phone call right before a meeting will keep you from
continuous hours and hours. Knowing you have a life besides pining after hier
will have your ex intrigued. This creates rente!

Something interesting happened the other day. A friend who I have known for years sent me a photo of some guys trying to snowkite at Cottonwood Park in Bismarck, ND. His question accompanying the photo he sent me asked whether I had ever tried something like that. I said I had and if he wanted I would let him try with my trainer kite. So we went out this past Saturday up at Horizon School. The wind was light – around 10mph. The wind was light even for the 3.5m I have. He had a tough time keeping it in the air. At times it would come up for a while and get easier for him.
He was having fun and getting the hang of it so I decided to use the opportunity to get some practice with my 9m Slingshot. I haven't had much time with that kite. I only brought my snowboard and having unsuccessfully tried my board only a couple times I was hesitant to try it with the low wind and lack of snow. But as it was the only option I went for it.
I rigged up downwind of the kite and did the slide it around trick. Then I walked it over to a fence post and wrapped my chicken loop around the post and went to put on my boots and board. I was able to get some pull but I had to work to keep the kite in the air. It was some good practice time but 5mph more would have been nice.
My friend had a good time and wants to try it again. Maybe we will have another kite buddy out there soon. Speaking of which, if anyone knows who those guys at Cottonwood were have them get in touch with me.

News Releases
SunTrust: Gain Financial Breathing Room During Tax Refund and Bonus Season
Feb 24, 2016
ATLANTA, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Millions of Americans will benefit from a tax refund or performance bonus this year, but deciding how to best allocate these funds can be a challenge. To help turn this newfound cash into financial confidence, SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI) is offering simple tips that can make a significant difference, regardless of one's financial situation.
1. Start an emergency fund. If you don't have an emergency fund to ease the stress of the next unexpected expense, direct a portion of your refund or bonus toward establishing one. Consider contributing 70 percent if you are just getting started. If you already have $2,000 in savings, allocate 20 percent of your refund to keep it growing.
2. Pay off debt. If you have an emergency account, consider using 50 percent of your refund or bonus to pay down high-interest debt. If you already used a larger portion of this money to establish your emergency fund, instead think about setting 20 percent aside to pay down debt.
3. Reward yourself. Consider "paying" yourself 30 percent if your emergency fund is over $2,000; if under $2,000 this number should be 10 percent. If you are planning a summer vacation or weekend getaway, use your refund to prepay the hotel room or plane tickets. Often you can get a discount on hotel rates if you pay in advance – and you won't have bills to pay when you get back.
4. Review your tax withholdings. Finally, if you've received a sizable refund, you may be paying too much in taxes throughout the year. Consider adjusting your tax withholdings so that less money is taken out of each paycheck. You can use that money to increase your contribution to an employer-sponsored retirement plan or health savings account.
"When in doubt, a good rule of thumb is the 50/20/30 formula," said Brian Ford, SunTrust Financial Well-Being Executive. "Allot fifty percent of the total funds to pay down debt, 20 percent to savings and 30 percent to short-term spending. Above all, you want to have a solid financial foundation in place through an emergency savings account so you are prepared for anything unexpected."
SunTrust recently launched the onUp movement to help people move from financial stress to confidence. Americans can join the onUp movement and commit to take the first steps toward financial confidence by visiting onUp.com. The site offers budgeting solutions, saving tips, retirement investing strategies and more.

If you stayed here and have some insider info for us, let us know!
Rolling hills, vineyards all around, and a farm full of animals. What's not to love about Stepping Stones Farm? Host Lori and her husband are great hosts, showing us around the property and introducing us to the chickens, llama, goats, burro, emus, doves, cats, and dogs. The tent site, which is large and flat, is in a nicely shaded grove surrounded by tall trees. The property is so quiet at night that you'll think you're farther away from civilization. As it is, the charming town of Morgan Hill is only a ten minute drive down the road and has coffee shops, bars, shopping, and a commuter rail into San Francisco. Had a great nights stay.
Stepping Stones Farm was an incredible experience.
To start, the hospitality was beyond welcoming - Olga and Russel are so sweet, and make you feel like their farm is your home. They introduced us to all the animals, let us pick a camping spot on their property, and gave us privacy. We were really interested in the animals so they let us hunt for eggs in the chicken coop, hold the baby goat, milk the mother goat, and feed the donkey. Not to mention, their grandson Nikolai was a great farm guide and took us all around the farm.
The location is perfect, its a few minutes walking from a few wineries, and just a 4 minute drive to the nearest grocery store.
We will be back, and recommend to everyone!
We just spent one night at Stepping Stones Farm and had a wonderful time. Olga welcomed us as we entered the property and gave us a tour of the 5 acre Farm that is surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards in a quiet area of Morgan Hills. The Farm animals all appeared happy and well cared for and there are lots of chickens and fresh eggs available. All 3 campsites are very private and have picnic tables and firewood is provided. Russell and Olga made sure we had everything we needed while respecting our privacy. We hope to return to Stepping Stones and recommend it highly if you are looking for a relaxing get-away in a beautiful setting.
We had a lovely stay at Stepping Stones. Olga and Russel are such kind hosts. We enjoyed being on the farm and seeing all of the animals, and it's walking distance to several wineries (10-20 minute walk).
Olga was a great host - very accommodating and easy to communicate with. The spot was just what we needed before heading up to Henry Coe for a day of hiking. Fun rare birds and animals on the property. Thanks Olga!
Hosts were gracious. The kids loved hanging out with the animals. Though, pictures online look to have been taken when things were much more green. And the potty tent was not a great experience.
Olga and Russell were very warm and friendly hosts. They let us hang out with the chickens, goats, chicks, donkey, and alpaca. My daughters had a great time and were sad to leave - especially the baby chicks. I loved the fresh eggs too.
Very pleasant evening in a real small farm settings. Olga and Russel are great hosts. Perfect location to visit Henry Coe State Park the next day
Friendly hosts on a small poultry farm with an open flat field for tenting, and a small wooded area as well. The kids loved looking for eggs and visits with the cats, dogs, goats, donkey, alpaca, emu and rhea. Olga gave a goat milking demonstration, and Russell brought out the rescue donkey.

Pigmentation (Sunspots)
Pigmentation (better known as sunspots, liver spots, age spots or freckles) is caused by exposure to ultraviolet light, genetics and hormones.
How it works
At The Laser Clinic we use a Ruby Laser (694nm wavelength) to target the melanin in the darkened areas, without affecting the surrounding tissue. The treated areas are first chilled with our cryogenic-chiller for minimal discomfort.
What to Expect
The treatment is safe and relatively quick. There will be slight redness around the lasered areas immediately following treatment. This will disappear over the next 24 hours. Over the next 10 days you will notice the spots fading. Darker areas will require more than one treatment for complete removal. Treatments are 6 weeks apart.
Keep the treated areas well conditioned with a natural moisturiser to prevent itching. Use factor 50+ sunscreen at all times to avoid the recurrence of sunspots.

Good News Thursday
I enjoyed a little hand quilting with Bonnie Hunter on QuiltCam the other night. Bonnie has been having technical difficulties with the server, which she has been working on solving, so the sound and video were periodic. But it was still fun to be quilting "with" Bonnie (whom my kids refer to as my "pretend friend"!! LOL).
I also tried out a very special thimble that I bought that has a cute little bird on it.
It quilts nice stitches, but I am hesitant to use it much because I love it and don't want to wear it out!
Judy over at Patchwork Times is having a linky party for sharing good news.
My good news is that I am making time to sew and have "Friday Night Sew-In" (although I don't know if Heidi is having a sign up anymore) so I will be stitching Friday night AND I got into a guild class to sew a mystery quilt on Saturday. So that is a lot of fun sewing ahead for me to help get through to the end of this week! Hop over to Good News Thursday for more good news.

My son used to have imaginary mice friends when he was young (after watching Cinderella way too many times), and he thinks my blog friends are my imaginary friends. : )ReplyDelete
That is a very pretty little thimble, but it appears way too small for my fingertip. I would have to leave it on display.
Pretend friends huh???? Funny kids. :) My brother had a freind-BobJim. We still laugh about him. BobJim used to get us in so much trouble!ReplyDelete
Your thimble is so cute!
Looks like you have a great weekend planned.
I have a green thimble like yours! They definitely fit the fingers better than the cheap new ones, don't they?ReplyDelete
My DH makes fun of my Facebook Friends. I'll take all the Quilt-y friends I can get. I'm happy to count you as one of them. It's even more fun when we get to meet our Blogg-y friends. :) Janet O is as nice in person as she is on her BLOG. I'll be watching Bonnie on Quilt Cam Friday night with you and Stitching the day away on Saturday in my Quilt Zone!ReplyDelete
Very cute thimble..should have bought two!ReplyDelete

Sew funny. Kids of every age say the funniest things.ReplyDelete
It is good to have Pretend friends. I love it when I can sew with her on Quilt cam. It feels I little like doing a quilt retreat.ReplyDelete
Love seeing your stitcheries...so sweet!ReplyDelete
I'm laughing about your pretend friend. I wish I had written down the funny things my kids said that I thought I'd remember forever (thank goodness my Mom and sister have better memories than me!) Happy stitching...ReplyDelete
I too watch Bonnie and I know what you mean. And a heads up on Heidi, she is still doing sign up but FNSI is not till the 22. I too thought it was this Friday.ReplyDelete
Love the thimble
- AnonymousThursday, March 14, 2013
I don't quilt with a thimble, but I like to collect them now and then - that's a very pretty and collectible one!ReplyDelete
Love your thimble, it's very elegant. Enjoy your Friday Night Stitching! I'm hoping for an all day Sunday stitch in.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your stitching tonight and wow - a quilt class too! Lucky you!ReplyDelete
Yes, I have lots of 'pretend' friends too! Now the kids... they each have a pretend Timmy and boy do Emmy's pretend friends put on a nice show for me each day before we go to pick up her brother at school. She uses my quilt blocks as seats on the living room floor - and we must clap for each of their performances. Then she escorts them on and off stage. Too funny.

Like a lot of people, I caught up on Succession late. (I do love in this current media environment that a show that just wrapped up its first season five days ago is now usually considered "old news.") But this is a show that caught on late. When I bring it up, most people are still somewhere in the middle of the season desperately trying to finish. Talking about Succession still feels like walking on pins and needles when discussing spoilers because so many people are still binging the show. It's strangely more popular now than it was a few weeks ago when it was actually airing. (Yes, delayed popularity of a television show often happens, but usually it's maybe a year later, not a week later.)
So, I went through all ten episodes in about a week, and there was something that kept nagging me in the back of my head about a specific character. Something … familiar.
Kieran Culkin plays Roman Roy, a kind of weasel of a dude who openly admits that he's kind of dumb and calls people things like "beta cuck." There is no Earthly reason why this character should be at all interesting or, even crazier, somewhat likable. Culkin plays Roman with a grin and a whole lot of panache. And Culkin's boyish charms serve him well here. He can strut around our screens, have these terrible opinions, and yet we kind of want to see more of him. Then it hit me: Roman Roy is the Alex P. Keaton for 2018.
For those who don't remember it, Family Ties ran from 1982 until 1989. When it premiered, Michael J. Fox's Alex P. Keaton was a secondary character. Watching first season episodes, it's kind of crazy how much of the plot centered on Alex's ex-hippie parents, Steven and Elise Keaton (Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter). Alex – a no-bones-about-it Republican and huge fan of Richard Nixon – was supposed to be a foil for his parents. In the early episodes, he's basically a miniature William F. Buckley who just shows up to say something shocking. But then a couple of crazy things happened: (a) the producers didn't realize they had cast one of the most charismatic young actors of the decade as Alex P. Keaton and (b) Ronald Reagan's popularity began to soar – which somehow made Alex P. Keaton not just the star of the show (there were always rumors back then that Baxter wasn't pleased with her role becoming secondary to Alex), but also an enduring pop culture fixture of that entire decade.

After my Week 5 100 Day Challenge post, I assume the only ones reading this post are those that are truly concerned for my mental well being. This is something we have both been concerned about on more than one occasion. I am starting this Blog post without even knowing what to title it. I think I will figure this out as I go.
Here is the crux of the problem, but please understand I can not go into the details as I could in person. I am transparent as I can be, but this is on the world wide web, so I do have to have some self imposed limits. The problem is that I feel compelled (yes by God) to do something that I feel will be just one more step of futility. I want to be obedient to His will, I am just tired of getting hurt and disappointed in the process. My life verse of Hebrews 11:1 can only take me so far. Perhaps my faith needs to be strengthened as well as my abs.
I have taken measures, so that I am the one that bares most of the brunt of the possible disappointment. This is an ongoing course of action for me. In most cases, people have no idea of what I have attempted to spare them of. In many cases, I am accused of evil for doing so. Yeah, I am tired of that too. Me being obedient to God, and getting disappointed, is one thing. Me raising the hopes of others and seeing their disappointment is an entirely different sort of pain. One that I would be responsible for. It is better for me to simply keep this between God and myself. Wow, this is getting darker than I imagined.
Okay God, let's have it out. I don't like what you are asking me to do. I know you are capable of ALL things. I just do not know you are WILLING to heal my loved one. I struggle with that. I know you love me and them, but I am a little weary of this heavenly chess game and being a sacrificial pawn. Sorry guys, I am just being real with God. If this never gets published, look for traces of lightening bolts.
I am going to do Your will, just like the reluctant son working in his Father's fields. I am not happy about it, but I have learned to be obedient. I wish I could just understand your end game a little better. I just wish I could trust you. I just wish it wasn't so hard.
In my quiet time, when I am often prompted to write these blog entries, it occurred to me that God is grieved the same way as I am. There are people that seem to be oblivious to the harm they are doing to themselves. Diabetes, heart failure, strained relationships, damaged marriages and on and on and on. In so many cases, even though I can show them the facts, they are unwilling / unable to change their self destructive behavior. That grieves my heart, just like my bad choices grieves God's heart. This is part of the burden of frustration. It is not just about healing of the body. It is a necessary healing of their body and soul. Their spirit is fine, but their body and soul are damaged, flawed, confused, irrational and just getting worse.
You see, I am not really angry with God. I am just frustrated with life in this fallen world and the inevitable pain that comes with it. Yes my wife, family and friends makes it bearable and often enjoyable. Life is just so full of pain too. Pain that I can not avoid or help others to prevent. Pain plus frustration is at the heart of a Father's greatest wound. To see pain inflicted on our loved ones, and to be powerless to prevent it, is a pain straight from the belly of hell. (I guess I just figured out my title).
So, what can you do? I covet your prayers for healing this weekend. Buffy and I are fine, but if I can motivate (after this dreary blog post) enough of you to bend God's ear, perhaps He will answer my prayer. He will know what you are praying about. Either way, I will still remain faithful, whatever the outcome. Why? I have no greater hope then Jesus Christ, the indwelling Holy Spirit and the only True Father I have ever known. Be well.

Now that I'm all settled in our apartment, yes two days after moving in everything is already in it's home, and have some free time I figured I'd post some pictures! Warning: there are A LOT!

Coming back to the main room you have the dining table, bar cart, desk, couch, tv stand, and bookcase!
The bar cart is on the left.. So cool right?!
And the dining table to your right.
Also, when you are facing the table there's the storage closet to your right.
Which houses empty boxes, tool box, vacuum, and our entertaining pieces!
Continuing into the main room there's the desk on your left..
Then the couch and ottoman!
On the other side of the room there's the TV stand..
and the bookcase! (I need to print & put wedding pictures in that frame)
And that's all for the main room! Between the bar cart and desk there's a little hallway with has the laundry closet on the left..
And another closet on the right, that's just storing a bunch of stuff!
Then there's the bathroom!
Which has a linen closet inside..
& I just have to show my bath shelf ;)
Now the only thing left is our bedroom!
Here's the dresser. (I need to put a wedding picture in the frame)
A close up of my perfume tray!

A courageous Syrian collective challenges both ISIS and Assad in Raqqa
Just hours after Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announced that the United States is preparing to launch an offensive against the Syrian city of Raqqa, Abdalaziz Alhamza, a 25-year-old Raqqa native, spoke to a New York City audience about his hometown. Before the Islamic State captured the city in 2014, he recalled, few people outside of Syria had heard of Raqqa, "but now, most people hear about our city as the capital of ISIS." Alhamza, an activist-journalist and founding member of the resistance group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, or RBSS, has risked his life for the past several years in order to tell a different story. "Almost no one there has joined ISIS. We should be known as the capital of resistance."

Bardar, Erin M. and Prather, Edward E. and Brecher, Kenneth and Slater, Timothy F. (2005) The Need for a Light and Spectroscopy Concept Inventory for Assessing Innovations in Introductory Astronomy Survey Courses. Astronomy Education Review, 4 (2). ISSN 15391515
Download (29kB) | Preview
In this era of dramatically increased astronomy education research efforts, there is a growing need for standardized evaluation protocols and a strategy to assess both student comprehension of fundamental concepts and the success of innovative instructional interventions. Of the many topics that could be taught in an introductory astronomy course, the nature of light and the electromagnetic spectrum is by far the most universally covered topic. Yet, to the surprise and disappointment of instructors, many students struggle to understand underlying fundamental concepts related to light, such as blackbody radiation, Wien's law, the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and the nature and causes of emission and absorption line spectra. Motivated by predecessor instruments such as the Force Concept Inventory (FCI), the Astronomy Diagnostic Test (ADT), and the Lunar Phases Concept Inventory (LPCI), we call for, and are working on, the development and validation of a Light and Spectroscopy Concept Inventory. This assessment instrument should measure students' conceptual understanding of light and spectroscopy and gauge the effectiveness of classroom instruction in promoting student learning in the introductory astronomy survey course.

A groundbreaking, aberrant but ever ebullient love letter to those who deserve it, The Rottweiler's Guide to the Dog Owner refracts marriage, death, friendship, violence and love through SJ Fowler's modernist poetic in an attempt to encapsulate the Poundian enterprise of all experience, no matter it's grandiosity or banality, as feed for poetry. Utterly contemporary, rapid, concise, this collection of poetry suites is a massive, savage world of language and meaning miniaturised and recapitulated – this is a poetry of disjunctive affection, misshapen intimacy and the awkward music of our daily lives.
The Rottweiler's Guide to the Dog Owner is made up of 13 different sequences or commissions, including works written for VerySmallKitchen, Zimzalla, The Enemigos project, Lush and the Wortwedding gallery. The book also features works that call on, or celebrate, the poetry of Anselm Hollo, Tom Raworth & Jack Spicer.
SJ Fowler's poems deal with disjunctions and interjections. They present us with a world that moves fast and often violently, where the lyrical impulse flowers, breaks and flowers again, too briefly to assert its full syntactic argument. We have to trust our ears, both the music and the rush of fragments. Individual poems and sequences deal with personal feeling, with politics, and, are often engaged with other writers, other places. Fowler's poetics are an open space packed with brilliant intensities. The reader has to live among them not to get blown away. — George Szirtes
SJ Fowler is a poet, artist, martial artist and vanguardist. He has published six collections of poetry, been commissioned for original works of poetry, sonic art, visual art, installation and performance by the Tate, the London Sinfonietta and Mercy. He is the poetry editor of 3am magazine and curator of the Maintenant series and the Enemies project. Gorse Magazine called him 'one of the most exciting you poets at work today'.
A recent review by 3:AM Magazine can be found here
Fowler reading 'wolves in chernobyl' from The Rottweiler's Guide to the Dog Owner:
today is nothing. the future won't come
– Vasyl Stus
April 26th 1986
but even apart from our wood
I do not know how one should say
things in the dark have colour
will the wise do things,
things that are forbidden,
knowing it won't be found out?
a simple answer isn't easy to find
but freedom from trouble in the thing
and from pain in the thing
are still in the pleasure,
but joy in the thing, and exultation,
are considered, involving motion.
all the day
life in the town goes on as normal
families shop and walk their dogs
fisherman lug their tackle off to the Prypyat river
couples sunbath around the cooling ponds
football matches go ahead
as do sixteen outdoor weddings
sponsored by the communist youth league
how can an object be good if it withdraws the pleasures of taste,
(retreat for the cowardly)
and withdraws the pleasures of love…
and withdraws the pleasures of hearing…
the call of the button
and withdraws the pleasurable emotions caused to sight by beautiful form?
yet it can be, good,
giving, living in the goodness of our wood.
by stable condition, by well-being,
by the sure hope of its continuance,
Kyiv, it was good, rightly calculated
do not eat green vegetables
or milk.
the nature of the universe is things and void.
the nature of all existing things is body and space.
the nature of all space is things and colour.
if you wish to make me wealthy,
wish me not to make me glow,
but diminish my desire.
yet do not extinguish my desire,
allow me just enough left that I may not preach of being one,
or without desire, and above my peers,
but happy in the clutching of a ball
or an artist's postcard.
or a parents plot of land.
I hold in my hand my most precious object
– one's own pickled, cancerous appendix.
I am thrilled with pleasure in the thing's body.
I spit black spit
on clear glass that is not somehow opaque
- or how we say 'frosted' – not for its own sake,
ancient armour, a gift from the basalt,
that blocks waves
because of the inconveniences that follow them.
With protection we may have a feast.
the schools debated whether or not to go ahead
with a planned 'Health run'
and settled on outdoor gymnastics instead
this is not anxious to please the mob.
for what pleases them, it does not know,
and what it does know is far removed from their comprehension.
it knows that when flesh cries aloud,
not possessing flesh,
it is unnatural that the mind should cry aloud too.
a silent stomach communicates in sweeping thoughts
it is better to be a thing of wool
and rag
that provokes freedom from fear
than a golden couch that brings trouble and woe.
sweet is the simple memory of a dead thing,
a friend,
a flag
and how one would not mind so much the joining of you both.
more firemen came up
complaining of vomiting and acute headaches
if this wooden thing listened
to the prayers of all men,
all men would quickly have perished;
for they are forever praying death
against one another.
if the prayers of women were to come true…
of this i cannot speak, knowing not.
a foal had been born with eight legs
piglets without eyes
calves without heads or ribs.
deformities due to in breeding
vain is the thing that does not heal suffering in man
for there is nothing new happening in the universe,
the warp closes like a mouth,
always readied for opening.
If we consider the infinite time passed,
and thus there is no excuse for distractions.
dumb things are for drowning,
thus the sea is deep.
