Signature | LaToya...
When I first opened my studio location in Detroit last year, I knew I had to do some shoots not only to help me to get some fresh imagery on my walls but also to help me to "learn" my new environs and how the light reacts. Coming from my home studio, this new space was totally different and I had to get a better feel for what I could do there. I asked a few people to come through and help me to get a better feel for my new shooting area. LaToya and I had spoken a bit after I believe I stalked her Instagram page for a while, and she agreed to come a do a session with me. We shot two different looks in a few different lighting situations. One of those looks was actually featured in Arsenic Magazine. I blogged about it here.
These images were some of the first that we took and I think they really show off the natural light possibilities that my new space allows. Natural light really is my first love. It's my beginning. It's how I learned my style of imagery, how I learned how to shoot in manual, how I developed my style.
It's coming up on a year that I have been in my Detroit location. I've learned quite a bit about my business, my style, my imagery and my photography. Images should be beautiful and they should tell a story. They should also stand the test of time. I think these hold up pretty nicely...
Tell me what you think.

About Marti Beddoe
Marti Beddoe is founder of Designs for Peace, SoulCollage Facilitator, Peer Spirit Circle Practitioner, Meditation Teacher and leads retreats and workshops to teach Practices for Sustaining Lives of Meaning, Joy, and Beauty.
Marti Beddoe
My Life Journey
In 1996, each of us in my Artist Way circle chose a project to create over the year we were together. I made my first (and only) quilt. It was a kind of collage of my life journey up to that point, depicting 16 major events with images that mostly came from dreams. I was often asked how long it took to make. I never knew what this question really meant or how to answer it. So I asked my mentor, Marjorie E. Johnson, the gifted fiber artist, for advice. "A lifetime," is how Marjorie said she answers this question about her creations.
The simple truth of Marjorie's answer, "A lifetime," always resonated with me. When I was a young girl, two threads were beginning to weave through my life: I wanted to be "grown up" and I wanted to share what I learned about being grown up. I wanted to play with the big kids, not the little ones my age. I also became adept at listening in on the grownups. I was convinced the secrets of life would be revealed if only I were grown up. I grew to love sharing what I was learning from the big kids and adults.
Looking back, I interpret those two threads as a call to learn how to find the resources to live happily and wisely — to be "grown up"— and as a call to share those same "life" skills with others.
Now inching towards my 70's, I am grateful for all that's gone into my quest to be grown up, to become wise and to stay awake.
"A lifetime" is indeed what I bring to all that I do professionally and personally.
A lifetime of trial and error; a lifetime of blunders and doing my best to learn from them; a lifetime of creating and adjusting; a lifetime of seeking out wise teachers and listening carefully to what made sense to me; a lifetime of testing out the truth for myself and then applying that wisdom so I might live happily; and a lifetime of supporting others to find their own truth and to develop those same life skills to live happily.
You can trust that "a lifetime" is what I bring to anything I share, teach or facilitate. You can trust that I have practiced what I teach and have made it my own. You can also trust that I respect the deep well of wisdom, "the lifetime," that each of my students brings to the circle. I believe we are all here to teach each other.
Since my Libran birth in 1948, the other consistent threads of my journey have been my fascination with discovering and expressing life's meaning, joy, and beauty. I have creatively woven those threads into my life and work as I have served in the role...
- as a community organizer;
- as an imaginal educator, teaching topics ranging from the ABC's to theology and spirituality, to people from diverse backgrounds and all age groups from infants to elders;
- as a single working mother of two teenage sons and as a full-time college student;
- as a career/life coach and founder of Right Livelyhoods and Designs for Peace;
- as an artist;
- as a friend and mentor;
- as a spiritual partner and wife; as a mother and step-mother of five; as a grandmother of seven;
- as a caller and Practitioner of PeerSpirit/Circle Way circles;
- as a student of the Enneagram, psychology, creativity, theology, astrology, death and rebirth, and mysticism;
- as a meditator and meditation teacher;
- and now, as a Facilitator of the SoulCollage® process.
My greatest joy in life is equipping myself and others with the "life" skills and practices necessary to sustain a life of meaning, joy and beauty. It is a privilege to witness someone discover the threads of their own wisdom. When this happens, their unique heart-light, their SoulEssence, shines forth as a gift. It is then that their world truly changes--for the better.
I am deeply grateful for my life, a beautiful tapestry woven of many lessons and blessings from so many beloveds. Okagesamade.

Self Architects have recently gained Planning Approval for a supported accommodation scheme at Sevenairs Road, Beighton, Sheffield for Guinness Northern Counties.
The development consists of 20 no. one-bedroom apartments, plus communal areas for residents, such as an activity room and lounge, along with staff offices and facilities.
There is a particular lack of provision of supported acommodation in the south-east of the city, so this will be an important addition to existing facilities.
It is hoped that construction will begin during Autumn 2013.

There is so much to get done around our half acre section – bushes, shrubs, trees, hedges and weeds are creeping higher up and further out. It's going to take a wee while to get it looking to where I want it to be – ideally a semi low maintenance plot with space for us to grow and harvest our own vegetables. Surprisingly enough, we have made quite a bit of progress already after only 2 weeks of being here.
Our next job is to get started with the granny flat being built on the section so that Mr B's Mum, AKA 'Little Mum', and her loyal senior Springer Spaniel Janey can have their own space. The property is originally Little Mum's, our plan to move to this little piece of the quite life was made a few years ago but all dependent on the Otaki to Levin roading decision. Finally NZTA released the proposed routes earlier this year and here we are!
Now, right bang smack where the granny flat needs to go are some large trees. The biggest ones we will need to save for the professionals – like these large cabbage trees by the sheds and fence lines:
The others are a bit simpler and came down over a few weekends, successfully (well mostly) handled by Mr B and his handy dandy new chainsaw. We did end up having one hefty branch land on our fence… so a trip to the hardware store is in our near future.
Heads up that unboxing and using a chainsaw may unleash a level of testosterone in your partner on Macho Man Randy Savage like levels… it must be like Easter, Christmas, and Xbox game release date all combined into one
The land starts to look a lot larger once things are cleared.
Also loving the sight of the wood shed right now…. next winter will be toasty.
Whats even better about rural living is you can burn off all the green waste!
Yay for bonfires! This might be my favourite part…
I also managed to rip out a huge raspberry bush to uncover this garden bed, it was back breaking work but so satisfying to finish. Im sure that still wont be the last I see of the plant, and fully expect to be ripping out new shoots here and there.
I've mixed in a bag of sheep pellets into the soil and left that to infuse all its poopy goodness until Anzac day when I plan to get garlic planted.
Until next time…

"Roseanne" as we know it is over for good, but "The Conners" is just beginning — and Jerry Seinfeld has some ideas.
The "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" host suggested that the ABC sitcom — from which star Roseanne Barr was fired for tweeting a racist comment about Valerie Jarrett — should bring back the character with the help of another comedian.
"I think they should get another Roseanne. They brought Dan Conner back, he was dead and they brought him back," Seinfeld told Entertainment Tonight. "So, why can't we get another Roseanne? There's other funny women that could do that part. You need to get the comic in there. I hate to see a comic lose a job."
Seinfeld also weighed in on ABC's swift decision to fire its star, and said he didn't think it necessary — because as far as he could tell, she'd already dug her own grave.
"I didn't see why it was necessary to fire her. Why would you murder someone who's committing suicide?" he mused. "But I never saw someone ruin their entire career with one button push. That was fresh."
Barr got the boot from her rebooted sitcom last month after sending off a tweet comparing former Barack Obama adviser Jarrett to an ape.
Though "Roseanne" was canceled, ABC announced this month that the show would return as "The Conners," sans Barr.
The comedian has since apologized for the tweet, and claimed she thought Jarrett was white.
"I definitely feel remorse," she said on a recent podcast. "I'm a lot of things, I'm a loudmouth and all that stuff, but I'm not stupid for God's sake, and I never would have wittingly called any black person a monkey. I would never do that and I didn't do that. And that people think that I did that, it just kills me."

"Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!" (v1). God's steadfast love never fails us. The psalmist had been overwhelmed and in distress numerous times: "I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me" (v13). His experience of God's love drove out fear: "The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" He did not depend on human leaders (v9), but on "my salvation" – the Lord (v21).
"I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD" (v17). Not even death itself can separate us from God's steadfast love.

`The inner crisis in environmental politics today is precisely the lack of bold concepts that address the challenges of poverty, energy, biodiversity and climate change within an integrated vision of human progress. At a micro-level, of course, there have been enormous strides in developing alternative technologies and passive-energy housing, but demonstration projects in wealthy communities and rich countries will not save the world. The more affluent, to be sure, can now choose from an abundance of designs for eco-living, but what is the ultimate goal: to allow well-meaning celebrities to brag about their zero-carbon lifestyles or to bring solar energy, toilets, pediatric clinics and mass transit to poor urban communities?'

architecture of cities today
Written in 2005 in reply to a question during a National conference at Kodaikanal: what is the most significant aspects influencing change in architecture today
Is architecture really changing, except on the surface? Economic changes, aspirations of the commanding and controlling strata of the society, changes in the gender relations are major factors that influence architecture. Technology is a minor factor. The metropolitan economy, where service sector and global linked IT companies are leading the change, is affecting the demography and ethnicity of our large cities. Disposable incomes and spending habits of the burgeoning middle class are on the rise. This population though miniscule in the total population of India is emerging as most visible and most vociferous in the media, both print and electronic. They are exposed to the world outside through media and travel. They are also in the impressible age group and are easily impressed by the architectural glitters of the west, the shopping malls, credit cards, multiplexes, chic joints, etc. Media and popular travel and architectural magazines, advertisement, are all adding to the utopian aspirations. The architectural and spatial taste cultures are influenced by this surface glitz.
Our education also gives them little room for understanding and and to make sense of spatial culture over and above the material surfaces and to understand social and environmental implications. Their purchasing power also influences the real estate sector and influences their investment decisions. The young generation has dreams of creating mini Europe or US in India, even if it means shutting themselves inside fortified enclaves, moving along elevated highways in chic automobiles, isolated if need be from the nuisance of Indian reality outside that is too large and too distanced from their dreams. The smart real estate tries to cash in on this dream and the result is the new found surface glitter. There is short sightedness of the sustainability of this economically, socially and politically. This may have impact on the smaller towns and larger hinterland architecture, but not on a visible scale.
Beyond the surface change, I do not see any change in content (structure in anthropological sense) of architecture. Certainly not in large part of India in a significant way. Architecture perhaps has become more visual and more hyped.
It is valid even today I think, even after the reession.

Office of MSIL at Mysore.
Mysore Sales International Ltd, developed this office space in Hebbal industrial area in Mysore very near Infosys. for rental market. The building is complete but the market is down and they are yet to find takers. It is sad as the building is developed with care. This is designed as a climate responsive building with openable windows and at the same time air conditionable interiors. The entrance is though a green court and the centre of the building also has circular green court. The facades are provided with inclined screen skin of perforated metal set away from the outer wall on west and south sides. With green space in between this skin and the outer wall the interiors will get a green ambiance to work in. hope the market will catch up. Thanks to the authorities at MSIL who tooK extra interest and with least interference and to Mr. Nagaraj of R&R Fabricators who were the general contractors.

A sense of angst: a melancholic melee: a force of creation
Dr. BS Bhooshan
There is increasing evidence of a new confidence. We hear fewer apologies to do what we do now. There is appreciation for technologic braveries and showpieces, even if they are not appropriate to climate and culture, often. There is search for a new vigour. Daring excitement is not a taboo; experiments in market place though not acceptable. Crass commercialism and intellectualism (albeit pseudo one sometimes) coexist. There is also a renewed interest in the 'conservative', 'contextual' as well as 'culture' and heritage which are marketable now. May be confusing, but there is passion , of many strands. Can this be a sign of coming of age and will the generation next graduate further and start producing architecture of significance for India?
Architecture always seemed a search to me; a search for many diverse things. Search of an elusive and nebulous 'core competence' of the profession that defines 'architecture', a search for a philosophical justification for its existence distinct from some other related activities, a search for the intellectual content beyond the routine of building, a search to be different, a search for a point of departure, an ideology- low cost, green, energy, ecology, or USPs for the commercial world, etc. Extended to the professionals, it always ended up as a search for excitement, a search for name, fame and success and of course, money. The multitude of possibilities in a plural society makes architecture seem like a personal agenda. When we include all the players in the realms, the client, the builders, the construction workers and their varied skills, the engineers and consultants, the planners as well as public at large, the various strata of the society who use buildings differently with different attitudes, there arises a confusing conflict of agendas and the best exercise seem to be that of conflict resolution. Circumstances seem to conspire to make good architecture happen, nonetheless, though not very often.
Architecture, as objects in a context-physical as well as cultural, is a total sensory experience, but not just visually alone. That is how we experienced and evaluated architecture before. But today the majority of buildings and urban spaces are designed and produced with visual experience alone in mind and are also being evaluated through the visuals, especially photographic visuals. The print and visual media have added to this. Excessive lights made possible by the lighting industry and glossy pictures and dazzling 3Ds numb our other senses. The haptic sense of touch, the senses of sound and smell and even kinaesthesia are hardly explored seriously. Are we moving away from real experience to virtual one? Does this make it possible to transcend real space defined by cultures as images can be exported and transplanted with ease? And does it relegate or reduce the architecture to mere soulless surfaces of colours? I wonder.
The design agenda also has moved from a multivalent mode to a dominant single mode. We are dependent on limited agenda today leaning too much either on elitist economic sense on one side, on crass commercial success in the middle dancing to the demands of consumer market and on social activism on the other side. Even the cultural meaning of architecture is often reduced to visual scenographic details alone; creation of visual imagery of one kind or other; either iconic (most noted ones are so) or blatantly insipid copies. Or sometimes plain gimmicks in construction, like walls made of beer bottles. Hardly do we seem to appreciate a balanced view of architecture having multiple dimensions.
So we create variety of labels too like 'green' buildings, or traditional or 'vernacular' recreations or mythical 'heritage' sets like the many in hospitality sector. If passion drives those choices, there is hope. But if it is simple branding and jumping into the wagon of convenience, then it leads nowhere. Many of them fail to outlive the notion of contemporaneous novelty or a limited public appeal of nostalgia and hardly achieve a seriousness enough to be called architecture. In this context, if a minuscule percentage of buildings turn out to be serious architecture, the credit goes to the heroic efforts of a few.
We create many complexes today over dominated by the production process dictating the design. And in the builder segments which accounts for large amount of urban buildings, the idea of architecture seems to be to create as much volume as possible and produce a loud packaging appeal and merchandise for sale like any other commodity. The design agenda is mutated and mutilated by management, economics, finance, bureaucracy, fashion and even 'vastu'. The humongous scale of construction today makes neither architects nor architecture in command. Our traditional skills seem to be insufficient. Is such scale of construction a necessary evil? Or do we need to move on to an era of teamwork, reducing the often bloated egos? Is it not emerging?. Future is, perhaps, of the underdog, and not the maverick?
Architecture is taught and practiced even today in a problem solving functionalist mode. But hardly functionalism is a USP in architecture any more. Personal whims are. Hardly there is any public debate. Whatever little public space is used for discussion, current fashions take the lead. Can this lead to a serious Indian discourse, beyond the transfer of images from our past or from somewhere else? Can there be a multi-cultural synthesis for the evolving future? In the era of shrinking thought boundaries. Seriously? I hear many talking about practicality of simple design without a hangover of theory or of green rating or cultural context as justification for insipid work. Could there be any design possible like that without an underlying theoretical concept of what is architecture really?
So is it confusing? Or is it beginning of a new sensible era? Destruction is perhaps, necessary to create new construction. Can we make it happen, really, beyond the image making?
I pin my hopes on that few of the next generation. Let us not confuse them with one sided arguments. Let them open the minds and see beyond fashion and labels. And not only a new generation of architects; we need a new generation of people who can appreciate architecture in its proper perspective as a cultural medium by itself and not just a functional utility or a showpiece of vanity or packaging material.
The sense of angst which is palpable on many youngsters today sure will turn into a force of creation.

Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket, Ontario, last week ordered the Creation Foods Company in Woodbridge, Ontario, to pay a fine of $25,000 Canadian ($19,334 US) for selling falsely labeled, non-kosher cheddar cheese to two summer camps for Orthodox Jewish children in 2015, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, according to a press release of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Section B.01.049 of the Food and Drug Regulations states that "no person shall use, in labeling, packaging, advertising or selling, a food that does not meet the requirements of the kashrut applicable to it, the word 'kosher' or any letters of the Hebrew alphabet or any other word, expression, depiction, sign, symbol, mark, device or other representation that indicates or that is likely to create an impression that the food is kosher.
Section 31(1) of the Canadian Food and Drugs Act states that "every person who contravenes any provision of this Act or the regulations, as it relates to food, is guilty of an offence and liable […] on conviction by indictment, to a fine not exceeding $250,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or to both."
A CFIA investigation determined that the company sold a non-kosher food product to two Jewish youth camps, by means of a forged kosher certificate. The cheese sold to both camps did not meet the requirements of kashrut.
According to CFIA, "this is the first case in Canada brought before a provincial court related to the misrepresentation of a kosher food product."
"The fine is significant and may lead to improved future compliance under this statute. This case, and the conviction, reinforces the CFIA's commitment to food safety, and demonstrates how the Agency takes issues related to food fraud seriously. Investigation and legal action will be taken, when warranted," the press release concludes.

Jei Kudo(FIN)

Jei Kudo(FIN)
Ninja Card
Character Name: Jei Kudo
Nickname: Idiot
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 6'10"
Weight: 213 Pounds
Appearance: Most important things first. He never wears a shirt. He finds it too encumbering, making it far harder to move. The vest, on his massive body, would make it that much more difficult to do the taijutsu that he likes doing. After all, why else would he have been blessed with his abnormal size, and abnormally long limbs. All of this makes a very convincing size. His body is quite built for someone of his age and skill set, mostly because he's been raised. He, by all means, is a farm boy turned ninja. His limbs are long, and big enough, that he could be terrifying with proper training.
He looks far more intimidating then he actually should, purely due to his massive size. He almost breaks seven feet. He probably will break seven feet by the time he hits 18, but he feels comfortable where he is right now. His purple hair and toned body make for an appealing look over all. Maybe for a bodyguard, but still. His massive size plus a lack of shirt makes him look more like a thug then a farm worker. He doesn't even know what a thug is. He's just a simple guy who just happens to be massive.
- image:
Personality: He didn't get the hardworking aspect of his father's personality. That's probably because he's never really met his father in memory. Does he hate his father? Negative, that would require caring enough. He was born quite strong, yknow. His physical attributes were genetic. He really shouldn't be as tall or as strong as he is, but make no doubt, he's as tall and strong as he is. This has caused him to grow insufferably lazy. He's able to lift desks with fair amounts of ease, and could likely break other children's bones with fair amounts of ease if he wanted to. That's just the fact of the matter.
Most don't consider him an actual threat though. Normally, he's napping. He likes to nap. It's a habit of his, if you will. He naps because he's bored.
He has a massive sweet tooth, and all he really wants is candy and food. It's partly because he has a high metabolism due to being a Kudo. It is his fault for having such irrational moods. He just doesn't get enough sweets. These sweets are very important to keeping Jei happy, as they hold the key to keeping him fed. It's not that he won't eat other foods, but he will go after candy first.
History: Jei was born on a farm somewhere, and it'd seem like he just walked off it with how he grew. However, that was not the case. After he was three, Jei's father wanted to roam and work everywhere, and he had Jei. Kei, his father, after years of doing things everyplace one could think, ended up in Sunagakure. Kei was 10 at this point, and rather tall. Kei had a family friend there, who he left Jei with. This family friend has treated Jei well.
He's stayed with this friend for a good 6 years now, but has been pushed to join the academy even at his advanced age. He agreed if not only because it'd make the person taking care of him give him more candy. This was to be the case, as since the first day, he gets candy for completing a day at the academy without getting in trouble

Re: Jei Kudo(FIN)
This app looks good so far. Before I approve it, though, I was wondering if you were not going to go for the +15 stat boost for the first ten members.
Re: Jei Kudo(FIN)
Edited, as I was unaware that it was still up for the taking.
Re: Jei Kudo(FIN)
Make sure to edit your 'total stats' to read 35. After that, I'll approve your app~
Re: Jei Kudo(FIN)
Sorry about that. Fixed.

Scrubbie free crochet pattern
Just a few days ago, we were on a drive through the Hill Country in Central Texas when I noticed the Firewheels. The first time I noticed them was three years ago when my son (5 at the time) pointed them out and declared they were his favorite wildflower. Since then, I have noticed them every time they pop out and even look for them amongst the others.
One evening, while I was waiting on dinner in the oven, I saw these two cotton colors sitting together and the first thing I thought about was those Firewheels! My heart smiled so I grabbed a hook and turned on Netflix… and here we are. I just love them. The hold just enough soapy water to wash out my cups and glassware easily without retaining so much that they don't dry quickly. You absolutely must try them.

From the Jakob to the Volvo Xc90 – 3 Ways Volvo Has Changed the Game
The first Volvo automobile was affectionately referred to as "Jakob" by its creators. In the nearly one-hundred years since that time, much has changed. However, the Volvo brand continues to be a leader in the automobile industry. Here are three ways Volvo doesn't just follow trends – it sets them.
Superlative Safety
Volvo cars are some of the safest in the world. Year after year, Volvo continues to come in first among all other luxury competitors for both safety and comfort, offering consumers the highest quality interior innovation and exterior safety features. Volvo is even credited with creating the modern, three-point seatbelt that is now standard to all vehicles. How's that for industry leadership?
Technological Marvels
Volvo is one of the first brands to introduce the concept of "infotainment" to even its standard models. Volvo owners can use a newly-released mobile application to find a parked car or locate a stolen one, further ensuring safety and security. The brand continues to be a celebrity and civilian favorite for its marriage of luxury to practicality.
Ongoing Innovation
Volvo hasn't stopped innovating and won't stop anytime soon. Newer models include the Volvo Xc90 series, one of the biggest developments in Volvo's recent history. Changing the face of the sports utility vehicle category by offering a comfortable, car-like ride and drive, this vehicle is a top choice for families as it seats up to seven. An added benefit? It is one of the first vehicles to offer safety features that keep all riders equally secure, regardless of where they're sitting in the car. Year after year, time after time, Volvo just keeps outpacing its competitors and changing the way the auto industry updates.
Rockford area shoppers looking for new or used Volvo Xc90 models or any other type of Volvo vehicles can turn to local dealer McGrath Volvo Cars Barrington for the best service, selection and know-how in the area. Make your next car a Volvo, and enjoy your own piece of superlative history. To know more information visit MCGrathVolvoCars.com.

Good Life
Tony Lentz prepares to close the book on 'A Christmas Carol'
Tony Lentz is searching for a passage about the Cratchits, the impoverished but contented clan that provides the moral backbone of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol."
There was a time when he would've reached for this information and found it patiently waiting, poised somewhere on the edge of his mind next to his phone number and home address, but on cold and clear Tuesday in the lobby of The State Theatre, it appears that there's a gap in Lentz's filing system.
He can remember the gist of the paragraph — something about being happy, grateful and other adjectives that have achieved a certain level of synergy with the holidays.
Lentz has been performing dramatic readings of "A Christmas Carol" for 40 years — to small churches with spotty microphones, to a crowd of four inside the State College Municipal Building, to a packed hall in Aaronsburg.
"I sometimes think I've done some of my best performances for God because he was the only one there," Lentz said.
On a good day, what comes out on stage is about 90 percent Dickens, 10 percent Lentz. To prevent that ratio from slipping any further in the opposite direction, he'll be hanging up his frock coat for good at the end of the season.
Lentz's final performance will be held at 5 p.m. on Dec. 21 at Schlow Centre Region Library. A day prior, he'll have celebrated turning 70 years old.
That's a pretty good run for a kid from Stony Point, N.C. Lentz had encountered Dickens' classic holiday tale on television, but never heard the original text performed live until he was well into his first few rocky months at Chapel Hill University.
"That story, with its message of hope, was something I remembered vividly in that context," Lentz said.
His own leather-bound transcription of Dickens' work was already in hand when he touched down at Penn State at 1980, where Lentz would teach storytelling and public speaking until retiring three decades later.
In preparation for the season, Lentz spends weeks exercising his vocal cords in the sanctuary at Park Forest Village United Methodist Church and drinking a lot of honey.
The years haven't dulled his voice — or his emotional attachment to the material. Lentz still gets choked up when he talks about the redemptive power of Ebenezer Scrooge, who at the beginning of the story has been crushed into an elderly miser of a man by life's petty cruelties.
"We can fight against that, we can make choices of kindness or generosity," Lentz said.
After 40 years, the way his own story is told may ultimately be up to the crowds that gather to hear him each holiday season. Something he used to tell his students might apply here.
"As a performer and a speaker, you don't know what kind of impact that you'll have on people," Lentz said.

No matter which kind of diet or food philosophy you adhere to, you probably know that there are a handful of key nutrients that your body needs in order to stay healthy. It's not possible for your body to synthesize adequate amounts of these nutrients on its own, which is why it's so important to make sure that your diet is providing enough of each of these nutrients every day.
Complex Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are plentiful in most people's diets, but many of us aren't getting enough complex carbohydrates. Instead, we often rely on simple carbohydrates that spike our blood sugar. This ultimately leads to blood sugar "crashes," which cause unpleasant fatigue, irritability, brain fog, and headaches. Choosing to consume foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, that contain complex carbohydrates will fill you up faster and give you a steady amount of energy throughout the day.
If you're not sure whether a food item contains complex carbohydrates or not, you can look it up on the glycemic index. The lower it is on the index, the more likely it contains complex carbohydrates, instead of simple carbohydrates.
Healthy Fats
Many people are nervous about adding fats into their diets, but the truth is that your body needs adequate amounts of healthy fat in order to function properly. In fact, healthy fat is an essential nutrient for proper brain and nervous system functioning. They key to adding fats to your diet is to make sure that you're adding healthy fats, such as Essential Fatty Acids, while avoiding unhealthy fats, such as trans fats.
When you're adding healthy fats into your diet, look for the essential fatty acids Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9. These can mainly be found in fish, nuts, and seeds. If you find that you are getting most of your essential fatty acids from fish, make sure that you're consuming fish that is low in mercury.
Complete Protein
There are 9 essential amino acids that your diet needs to provide in order to keep you healthy, and eating protein is the best way to ensure that your body is receiving these essential amino acids. Meat provides one of the most complete protein sources; so, if you regularly eat meat then you're probably consuming all the necessary amino acids.
But, fortunately for vegans and vegetarians, it's also possible to meet your nutritional needs with plant-based protein. Furthermore, plant-based protein sources are typically less inflammatory than animal-based protein, meaning that even non-vegetarians may want to consider adding more plant-based protein into their diets. They key to consuming enough nutrients in a plant-based diet is to eat a wide variety of foods that, when combined, contain all the essential amino acids.
High-Potency Vitamins and Minerals
If possible, it is best to get vitamins and minerals from whole food sources. Consuming food-based vitamins and minerals makes it easy for your body to absorb these essential nutrients.
Nevertheless, for many of us, our modern diets make it difficult to meet our vitamin and mineral requirements through food alone. If you want to ensure that you're taking in enough nutrients, or if your doctor has suggested that you may have a vitamin or mineral deficiency, then you might want to consider taking a high-potency multivitamin.
Here are some common vitamins and minerals to pay attention to in your diet:
- Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is essential for immune function. Most people aren't deficient in this vitamin, but supplementing Vitamin C when you are sick can boost your immune system.
- B-Complex Vitamins are often consumed via animal sources. If you are vegan, then you'll likely need to supplement B-Vitamins.
- Iron is a mineral that is essential in helping the blood carry oxygen to the body. Many women are iron-deficient, which can lead to fatigue and other health problems.
- Vitamin D can be synthesized internally following sun exposure. However, since many of us regularly wear sunscreen, it's often helpful to take a Vitamin D supplement.
- Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is beneficial in keeping skin healthy. Vitamin E can be found in nuts and vegetable oils.
- Zinc is a mineral that is important for immune function. Beef, organ meats, and seeds are all great sources of zinc.
- Calcium is well-known for its importance in building bone strength. Aside from dairy products, calcium can be found in nuts, seeds, and leafy greens.
Low-Sugar Fluids
You undoubtedly consume water on a daily basis, as it's impossible to survive without regular water intake. However, it's important to be sure that you're drinking filtered water, and that you're doing your best to avoid sugary drinks that provide empty calories and can lead to blood sugar spikes. In addition, as you probably know, it's important to drink water regularly throughout the day, even if you're not necessarily feeling thirsty at the time. If you're not drinking enough water throughout the day, you may experience unpleasant symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, dry eyes, and even headaches.
Whenever possible, it's important to do your best to try to find the highest quality nutrients available. This typically means consuming nutrients from local, whole food sources that have been grown using organic farming methods. Paying attention to the quality of your food will ensure that your diet is providing you with the highest possible nutritional value.

The European Eye Bank Association is proud to announce the renaming of its Travel Grant Scheme in honour and memory of Andrew Tullo MD FRCOphth.
As Medical Director of the Manchester Eye Bank, Andrew Tullo was an internationally renowned eye banker who had a positive and prominent influence on the development of the European Eye Bank Association and on the promotion of eye banking in Europe. Andrew was also a distinguished corneal surgeon and scholar, and his dedication and unstinting commitment to the field of Ophthalmology and his extensive research into corneal and external eye diseases, including infection and immunology, are sorely missed.
In appreciation of Andrew's life and work, the European Eye Bank Association is offering two (2) travel grants to enable technical and scientific staff from the eye banking community to attend the EEBA Annual Meeting. To apply for one of these grants please send a formal application letter to the EEBA Secretariat in accordance with the grant guidelines (see link)
