Of all that we might do as Christians, nothing is more central than the corporate act of worship, the joining with other believers in fellowship, prayer, song, and the reading and hearing of God's word.
8:55 Worship ~ Fellowship Hall
Our 8:55 worship service provides a relaxed and informal setting for the worship of God. The scripture and sermon are the same as the 11:00 traditional service. The music is led by a group of singers and is enhanced by instrumentalists. The music includes a blend of many different genres including gospel, praise, blue grass, and traditional hymns. The handbell and children's choirs participate regularly. The liturgy and the music are projected on a screen and volunteers from the congregation serve as the liturgists. This service is held in the Fellowship hall.
10:00 Sunday School for all ages.
11:00 Worship ~ Sanctuary
Our 11:00 worship service has a more formal liturgy, traditional hymns with organ accompaniment, and choral music ranging from classical to spirituals. The adult choir sings each week. The handbell and children's choirs also participate regularly. This service is held in the sanctuary at 11:00 am.
To make wholehearted worship possible for everyone, we provide child care from 8:45 am to 12:15 pm. We welcome children and encourage their participation in worship. Most preschool children stay in worship through the "Time with the Children" at our 11:00 service and then depart for child care downstairs in the educational building.

Dirt action at Cobargo: BMX Bike Park upgraded | VIDEO
Dirt has never looked so good! Last week, Cobargo's BMX Bike Park was upgraded.
Hjalmar Arnold, known as Yully, is thrilled to have helped with the upgrade and said the park will bring positive and healthy results to the community.
"The community project was a great initial facility but needed some drainage work and a few tweaks to bring it up to industry standards," the CreativeLines spokesman said.
"The facility now includes an introductory pump line and a few jumps and lips perfect for transitioning bmx riders from riding skate parks to dirt jumps.
"These facilities are becoming more popular throughout the country. They have been proven to bring healthy and positive results to communities."
CreativeLines will visit the park regularly throughout the year to keep it maintained.

So when can you buy them?
Global Futurist Chris Riddell joined The Project on Channel Ten to talk about the launch of flying cars in Australia, and when we should expect to see them buzzing in the skies.
In the future we will be able to transport ourselves in personal drones, so how will this change the way we think about technology. Will government legislation be able to keep up with this pace of change or will it get in the way and stifle innovation?

Data from 130 million commuters reveal US 'megaregions'
- Maps published in PLOS ONE using five-years of commuting data reveal geography of US megaregions
- New approach to age-old empirical problem of how we define geographical regions
- Research has potential use in transit planning, infrastructure development, real estate and retail analysis.
The daily commutes of more than 130 million Americans have been used to identify commuter-based megaregions in the United States for the first time, a new paper published in PLOS ONE revealed today (30 November 2016).
While the division into 50 states is how many think of the US, geographers have for the last 50 years also studied networks of closely connected metropolitan areas, known as 'megaregions', which often cut across state lines.
Previously megaregions have been typically identified by an interpretative method that links large metropolitan regions through similar environmental and infrastructure systems, economic links and cultural similarities. These approaches are often based on a 'best guess' kind of approach, and do not rely on the analysis of large datasets.
Now Dr Alasdair Rae and his co-author Dr Garrett Nelson have developed an empirical approach to identify megaregions using a dataset of more than 4 million 'commuter flows' involving the travel to work patterns of 130 million Americans.
The data comes from five-years worth of data from the American Community Survey between 2006 and 2010. The yearly nationwide survey of 3.5 million employees asks where they worked 'last week'.
Using algorithmic 'community partitioning' software developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and cloud computing powered by Amazon Web Services, these commuter flows were mapped out and revealed massive labour market areas across the US that form distinct megaregions.
Dr Alasdair Rae, Senior Lecturer, said: "We often know how countries are divided up geographically; into officially defined states, regions or cities, but this doesn't normally reflect underlying economic linkages.
"Garrett and I therefore wanted to explore the economic geography of the United States from a functional economic perspective, to arrive at a different understanding of how the country functions in relation to journeys to work - a significant foundation of any economy."
A visual interpretation of the data was also carried out to compare it against the algorithmic findings. Whilst this interpretation discovered similar megaregions were identifiable at a national scale, it was not sufficient for real-world applications where statistical accuracy was required.
"We first mapped more than 4 million commuter links and then explored these visually and then using more complex algorithms. Our aim was to demonstrate how the country functions from an economic point of view, but also show that you can get different results depending upon the choices you make - put simply, the algorithm isn't always right."
Dr Rae added: "In addition to identifying broad US megaregions, we also conclude that there is no replacement for a common sense interpretation of any results generated through computational approaches. We believe the megaregions we identify are a true reflection of the economic geography of the United States but of course they need to be tested and validated in the real world for them to have real use."
It is hoped that the research will provide a basis for further empirical approaches to studying megaregions and allow policymakers in areas including infrastructure, transit planning and electoral geography to evaluate how they approach the limits areas.

In the early afternoon we bid Krusty and Jason farewell and embarked on a train to Cambridge.
It's lovely to see a town with more cyclists and pedestrians than cars.
Everything in Cambridge radiates out from the ornate college buildings.
vegie sausages, jaffa cakes, cambridge! sounds like the good life! I did become quite fond of jaffa cakes but can't remember if it took me a while to become accustomed to it - I did find the cadbury's plain milk chocolate in the UK very weird the first time I tasted it but like a true chocoholic acquired the taste :-) Have you tried it?ReplyDelete
*crowd chanting* "We want embarrasing photos.....now".
Johanna, my work mate was telling me about the Cadbury chocolates in England. He was saying that they taste a lot better due to the milk. Because the grass is a lot more lush in England, the cows milk is richer and hence the different taste in the chocolate.
Beautiful pictures!ReplyDelete
i just wanted to say that i'm really enjoying your travel/food posts! we're going to be in the uk again in september, so i'm noting down the places!
your photos are gorgeous, too.
I remember that C&W made their announcement in a pub - but didn't understand that the pub was called The Eagle. I am not trying to draw a long bow but...I find it so interesting that, in Aboriginal tradition here in Victoria, Bunjil the Eagle is the Creator-Spirit for most of Victoria and parts of western New South Wales. Was Bunjil hovering at a pub in England when C&W declared their new understanding of creation?ReplyDelete
You were lucky to get it so empty! I am v surprised you didn't like Jaffa cakes though... keep trying!! Enjoy your break!ReplyDelete
Johanna, I was deliberately tending to avoid Cadbury chocs and other familiar brands, assuming they would be the same as at home. Now I'm curious!
Not a bad theory, Thanh - I can certainly confirm that the grass is more lush, almost blindingly green!
Thanks, Nixwilliams! I hope a few of our recommendations work out well for you - happy travelling. :-)
I wonder, Miss Eagle - an interesting coincidence!
Mallika, I wonder if jaffa cakes are a little like Australian Tim Tams - an over-processed sweet treat we form a nostalgic connection with (I am certainly guilty of this with a range of foods). :-)

I have spent the last couple of weeks learning about budgeting and trying to figure out the finances at the non-profit where I work. I am sure many of your will find this all a little boring. This is the third round of budgeting I have done since starting work there. The first year, I compiled spreadsheets of the actual experiences for the first 8 months of the year and then extrapolated from there. In that first year it was looking at the funds (limited) against the revenues (many) and trying to make tough decisions. Last year things were much better financially so that made things much easier.
This year we have 3 accountants on our board who, along with me, comprise the finance committee. Most non-profits would be grateful to have one accountant let alone three. One of them in particular has been very helpful with the budgeting process. They have brought so much financial structure, reporting and a real sense of security to our organization, which ultimately, helps us to serve our clients better.
As I approached preparing the budget I did it in my usual way. This year I also had the benefit of a variance analysis report.* By using that report, I can see exactly what has been spent and when. Unlike last year we are not expecting any increases in funding yet facing budget pressures in several areas like rent, increased HST and a need for some increased staffing. Our client caseload has doubled in the last 2 years, so overall service delivery costs have increased.
Instead of budgeting the normal way, one of the accountants asked me to prepare an 'Expected Value' budget. In this kind of budget you take a conservative amount and a less conservative amount, determine a weighting (by percentage) and calculate. For example, you have a funding source that has given you $30,000 for the past 3 years. This year, based on your increased client load you are going to ask for $45,000. You decide that you have a 60% chance you are going to receive $30,000 and a 40% chance you will receive $45,000. You then multiply both numbers by their percentage and add the two numbers together. The sum gives you the 'expected value.' In this case the expected value would be $36,000. You do the same thing with expenses – especially the ones you can't predict.
I may be weird but I really enjoyed doing this and learning this new process. I still used many of the same tools I had previously like various reports along with the needs of clients and staff within available funds. I thing this way of budgeting really provides a much more accurate picture of revenues and expenses. It also allows you to try and find a balance with variable revenue sources and expenses.

Strengthen and improve your basic French with this lower intermediate course. It comprises three modules set out across three terms, starting in October, and taught at progressive levels.
This course enables students to communicate with more variation and fluency to feel confident in most everyday situations with French native speakers. Listening, speaking, reading and writing skills are built upon and advanced main points in French grammar are covered. It also aims to broaden understanding of the French culture and way of life.
The course consists of one evening class a week for a total of 30 weeks; spread across three modules, the French Lower Intermediate short course is ideal for those with various commitments or working full time.
All of our language short courses are taught by qualified native speakers and delivered at City, University of London's main campus, in the heart of the capital.
You can order escargots in a restaurant with panache, ask directions to the château and have a chat whilst queuing at the boulangerie. You are comfortable asking how much that jolie petite robe costs in the village market and can talk de la pluie et du beau temps with your French colleagues. But now you want to have a more sophisticated conversation in French.
During your holidays, you want to be able to understand what the lady explains to you about the various cheeses au marché and grasp the wine grower's lengthy description à la dégustation. You want to read a book in French and broaden your conversation at a meeting avec vos clients français.
This course is designed to improve fluency and understanding of the French language giving students the confidence to communicate in a social or work situation.
The French Lower Intermediate (Year 3) course is ideal if you have completed the French Beginners Refresher (Year 2) course or you have a rusty but good GCSE.
This course consists of three modules taught at progressive levels, starting with Module One in October. We only advise joining Module Two or Module Three if you are already familiar with the content from earlier modules (see the What will I learn? section below for module content). You can check your level using our online guidelines.
Please note that some topics of French Year 2 (Lower Intermediate) will be revised at the beginning of the academic year. The course outline below is only a guide and topics will be studied according to students' needs and progress.
The French Lower Intermediate short course is ideal if you have one of the following:
Modules are taught at progressive levels, starting with Module One in the autumn (October).
If you wish to join Module Two of the short course (in January), you must have completed Module One or be familiar with the content taught in Module One, specified in the What will I learn? section.
If you wish to enrol on Module Three of the short course (in April/May), you must have completed both Module One and Module Two or be familiar with the content taught in these two modules, found in the What will I learn? section.
Please check your level by using our online guidelines before enrolling.
You will need to respond to instructions and read course documents in English.
The emphasis in this course is on listening and speaking. The lessons focus on language that is required in authentic situations.
Classroom activities will include:
Listening to audio clips and watching videos are an important element in our lessons. More comprehensive grammar exercises and reading texts are generally set as homework. All evaluation will take place in a relaxed and informal setting.
The tutor will provide learning material in class.
Agnès Shepherd

She has been teaching French as a foreign language for the past 18 years in a broad spectrum of institutions such as Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution, University of Westminster, Havering Sixth Form College, businesses such as Axa CS and EDF Energy.

Agnès has a light touch approach to teaching making students' participation a priority, creating a relaxed atmosphere in which students can thrive.

But I take issue with this part of the article:
There are several steps patients can take to protect themselves, and they should not be shy about asking questions, doctors and other experts say.Whaaa? Wow, I learned something new... I now have to remember the contents of a 22-page document to see if a test is appropriate or not. I even learned there's a downloadable PDA version of the software, just to make it easy! So watch out docs, patients now might be asking you to consult your PDA while writhing in pain from an acute abdomen: "Gosh, is it acute appendicitis or a kidney stone? Let me check my handy PDA to see if I need to order this CT scan. Gee, there it is! Hot damn, he's a 9 on my handy-dandy xray scale! Okay, Wilma, take him away!"
"They can always inquire of the referring physician, 'Is this test necessary?' " said Richard Morin, chairman of the radiology college's quality and safety committee, adding that "exams are often done for reasons that are not quite appropriate."
Doctors should be familiar with the radiology college index of appropriateness criteria, which rates the imaging procedures for some 200 medical conditions. Dr. Morin suggests asking the doctor ordering the test about its rating for a given condition.
Scores range from 1 to 9, he said, and "if the number turns out to be 1 or 2, you should look for some other exam."
But "appropriateness" for a test is in the eyes of the beholder. Just ask any emergency room doctor versus the obstetrician selecting a screening test for a preganant mother - each have a different take on the short- and long-term liability risks of such tests. And just for the record, I've never seen an ER doctor whip out his PDA to make such a decision about the "appropriateness" of a radiological test - especially when he's under an ever-mounting pressure to see more patients in less time while trying to never miss a diagnosis for fears of significant liability retribution.

Every Tuesday until Memorial day is $15 Burger & Beer Night, featuring local brews from Beer'd Brewing in Stonington and Grey Sail Brewing in Westerly. I've been following them on Instagram, not just for the food porn, but for reminders on Happy Hour drink specials and Wednesday Nights' Buck a Shuck.

The power was off, and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. The condo board was gone, leaving me high and dry--dry except for the bottle I was drinking out of. The paper bag it was wrapped in was still damp from the rain. Another day, another chance for glory. But it was two a.m., and so far no glory had come knocking. I took another slug.
I heard someone tramping up the stairs, whistling. That would be Smitty from the condo. Never anyone so glad to give bad news to a woman drowning her sorrows with the last bottle on tap. There probably wouldn't be power for weeks, going by the whistling indicator.
Slam! Slam! Slam!
Okay, not Smitty. He always tapped the glass with his key, the jerk. I screwed the top back onto the bottle and set it in my desk drawer. They don't drink Doctor Pepper in these Northern burgs. I get tired of explaining.
Slam! Slam! Slam!
"Keep your shirt on," I growled. "Coming!"
I toddled my way to the door, in light as fleeting as my prospects. I took my pistol out of its holster and like a spring chicken, opened my door at two a.m. to a complete stranger. Call it the drinking, the red light, or maybe, just maybe, that trouble is my business.
"Now here's real sugar." The voice was low, cool. I like that in a man.
"I'm fresh out of sugar, buster."
"I'm not Buster, I'm Humf. Looking for a lonely angel."
Humf, like Humphrey. "I'm not alone." I brought up the pistol, aimed it right to the brisket. "I'm entertaining Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson. And if they don't like you, all your angels will be fallen ones."
"Fallen, huh? You don't have a clue. I'm making a delivery." He held out a bird statue.
"It's a Maltese Rooster," he said. "It's for you."
Some people say never to look a gift chicken in the beak. But in the end, nothing's free. I don't always mind paying. I just want to understand the lay.
"Right. I have a clue or two," I lied. "The bird contains some key to a state secret, but you whacked the goose with the golden egg. Now I'm supposed to fry while everybody scrambles."
He spread his arms wide. "It's on the sunny-side up, sweetheart."
"It's a chicken, and this ain't a roost." It's better that way.
"You just gotta say thanks, link up to the giver," he said. "Guy name of Slamdunks. He's got a blog, says you're familiar."
"Yeah, I know Slamdunks. But I don't know how you know him."
"Everybody knows Slamdunks. That's just how it is."
He was right about that, but I still had the pistol up. It was still two a.m. The Paradise still was the only light in town. Humf leaned against the door jamb, casual-like. But I wasn't fooled.
"The real catch is you gotta say five things about yourself," he said. "You do that, and you get me for life."
"Be still, my heart."
"I figure a dame like you has something to say for yourself. I hear you're always cracking wise." He grinned in the suddenly on-light of the Paradise. "You can keep the Maltese Chicken if you say how you like your eggs."
"So, the Maltese Chicken is yours. Now you gotta give the Quillfeather Award to some other people. Spread the glory, you know."
"Sure, that's it. Slam, he'd never set you up." He snapped his fingers. "I figure you can say five things. Come on, look at this mug. Don't you want my image for all time?"
"One rooster at a time, Humf." I was still cracking wise, but something about the big yegg--
I lowered my guard, holstered my pistol and accepted the Maltese Chicken. Now it was only Humf. I'm a sucker for a guy who doesn't give up. I walked to the window. Humf didn't know it, nobody did. But talking from the heart isn't easy for a gal like me.
The lights of Paradise blew on again. So did the lamp on my desk. Damn if it wasn't Bogey. So it was true confessions time. Sometimes a gal just has to grab for the glory . . . or for its image . . .
1. The most embarrassing date I ever had was with one college student from a fraternity with bad manners. We were being waited on by another guy I had dated casually. Oooh, eek! Then the waiter brought our coffee. Mine was all milk with a dash of coffee thrown in. "That's how she likes it," he told my date.
Zing, zing, triple zing! I could not Wait to get out of there.
2. I sometimes make refrigerator magnets for a hobby. I take interesting pictures to Kinko's, reduce them on a color printer, paste them to magnet sheets, then cut them up. When I left RiverTown, I gave every employee at my store a set of hand-made refrigerator magnets in a theme they would like. The one I remember best was the series of Altoids advertisements for the guy who always had a tin of them, and who frequently shared.
3. My desk is a dining table, fairly old, from Ruff n Ready furniture. The guy that runs it has hair down to his waist and has obviously lost teeth from too many fights with pool cues. The table sheds sawdust. At first I was afraid it had termites (!), but no--it's from getting wet once too often. It works great and is still pretty. Next to my chair is a pile of books. Thesaurus, Atlas, and Rhyming dictionary, two maps of Manhattan and a poetry anthology are permanent in the stack. Everything else changes. A week or so ago, World War II. Yesterday, Joseph Mitchell. Today, Machiavelli--
4. I like beautiful things, and I like them to be a bit dilapidated. Unless it is a tube of toothpaste or a paperback book, new things are never quite as good as the things that have absorbed the stories of others. When I buy used books, frequently they have old bookmarks, old notes, old train tickets. I always leave them in the books. They are new every time I find them, and I see the signs of other lives.
5. I lied to the yegg. My real favorite way to eat eggs is over-easy, with homemade hash browns, whole wheat toast or a fluffy biscuit, and crispy bacon or link sausage. This is about a million calories, so I have it about once a year. And I Really enjoy it, too. With orange juice and strong coffee with some (not all) milk in it.
Now that I have claimed my Awards, I can confer the Award on others! All you have to do is keep the chain, link to me and then to your future awardees. That way people can backtrack their way across the blogosphere.

Mailbox Monday (click the icon to check out the new blog) has gone on tour since Marcia at To Be Continued, formerly The Printed Page passed the torch. September's host is Book Dragon's Lair.
The meme allows bloggers to share what books they receive in the mail or through other means over the past week.
Just be warned that these posts can increase your TBR piles and wish lists.
Here's what we got at the library sale for the little one:
1. Bible Friends: Who's Hiding?
3. The Best Halloween Hunt Ever by John Speirs
4. My World: A First Look at the World illustrated by Prue Greener
6. Where's Waldo? by Martin Handford
7. Sinbad dvd
These are the ones I found for me:
8. A Jane Austen Education by William Deresiewicz
Before Jane Austen, William Deresiewicz was a very different young man. A sullen and arrogant graduate student, he never thought Austen would have anything to offer him. Then he read Emma—and everything changed.
In this unique and lyrical book, Deresiewicz weaves the misadventures of Austen's characters with his own youthful follies, demonstrating the power of the great novelist's teachings—and how, for Austen, growing up and making mistakes are one and the same. Honest, erudite, and deeply moving, A Jane Austen Education is the story of one man's discovery of the world outside himself.
9. Wilderness: Volume 1 by Jim Morrison
Compiled from the literary estate of the singer who brought a wildly lyrical poetry of the damned to the world of rock 'n' roll. Includes unpublished poems, drawings, photos, and a candid self-interview.
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.
11. The Eight Stages of Translation by Robert Bly
12. Audition by Barbara Walters, which is really a gift for my mom.
Barbara Walters, arguably the most important woman in the history of television, has had an amazingly full life. In the bestselling Audition, she describes her extraordinary public and private journey.
What did you receive?

Day two from Santa Barbara. Last night we took a drive to see a couple of homes we like, and we were able to cross a couple of others off of our list of favorites. I think that if we threw caution to the wind, we'd have our answer….but I'm not quite ready to do that just yet, so today will bring more looking around. If nothing else, it's lit a fire under me to get our current house on the market!
On to more important things, like Duran Duran. (Right?!?) Does anyone remember What Unfolds? What if I gave you the name, Steve Aoki? Terminal Five? How about champagne and cake?? Well, if you were there, tomorrow is in fact your sixth anniversary of making it out alive. I would have mentioned this tomorrow, but it is also someone's birthday, and that needs to take precedence. So, happy early anniversary to those of you who survived the insanity at Terminal Five. (Sounds like a great book title, in my opinion!)
Today also has an anniversary of sorts. On this date in 1997, the filming for "Electric Barbarella" wrapped up, and Pop Trash was also released on this date in the UK.
I don't know if I'm alone here, but I've always had misgivings about "Electric Barbarella", in particular the video…but the song as well. Cheeky as though it may be, when I watch the video, I can't help but cringe. An electric Barbie, bought off of a floor, to do anything and everything the men want. A problem arises only when the doll starts thinking on her own. Music video or not, it's cringe-worthy even by 1997 standards, but certainly more so today, in the shadow of the #MeToo movement. It is hard for me to defend the merit of "Electric Barbarella". I always felt the content was anti-female, and I couldn't help but wonder why on earth a band who was loved by so many women would put out a song (not to mention a video) like that. Maybe I missed something somewhere.
I don't know that the intention of music videos created back in 1997 were necessarily a call to arms to fight injustice or to make any kind of a social statement. Maybe some were, but I can't think of them off-hand. I'm sure someone out there will have great examples. I can't help but think about Childish Gambino's recent video for "This is America". There's nothing lighthearted or joyful going on there. It is a powerful, social statement, from song lyrics to one of the first images in the video where a man is savagely shot from behind while sitting in a chair. The scene is disturbing and stays with you, but even more so when you continue watching and notice that the point of the video is not necessarily the violence or injustice itself – it is that while all of that goes on, no one else pays any attention. As alarming and shocking as the video might seem, the portrayal of America is disgustingly accurate. I don't know about anyone else, but it is a tough video for me to watch. Art can be like that, and yes – I do believe it is art. I had a long discussion with my oldest about the video when she insisted I watch it. Instead of being disturbed by the graphic nature, she was thrilled that in 2018, artists are being encouraged to really be so open and honest.
It is funny, and by funny I mean very strange and slightly discomforting, that back when I was her age, I felt the same way. I have to wonder what the future will bring.
In contrast to "This is America", "Electric Barbarella" at least seems to be the epitome of the throwaway 1990s culture. Bright colors, animated graphics, shallow, plastic and pretty. It is hard to see past the facade…and I admit that I just can't seem to find what the real message is, if in fact there is anything going on there to be seen. My question to you is simple – what do you think the band was really trying to convey? Do you like the video or the message, and does it still have a place in 2018 amidst #MeToo?

Progress monitoring is a scientifically based practice that is used to assess students' academic performance and evaluate the effectiveness of instruction. Progress monitoring can be implemented with individual students or an entire class. (Retrieved from http://www.studentprogress.org/progresmon.asp)
To implement progress monitoring:
1. the student's current levels of performance are determined and
2. goals are identified for learning that will take place over time.
The student's academic performance is measured on a regular basis (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly). Progress toward meeting the student's goals is measured by comparing expected and actual rates of learning. Based on these measurements, teaching is adjusted as needed. Thus, the student's progression of achievement is monitored and instructional techniques are adjusted to meet the individual students learning needs.

Memorial Day Weekend, my wife and I headed downtown.
Cleveland has so many
things to do downtown, how can anyone not love this town! First stop was
GuitarMania at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This is truly one of the best things in Cleveland. It benefits the United Way and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Education Program. I love seeing the guitars around town and the
fact that they all represent Cleveland.
I'll beat this into the ground, but we
can't have enough symbols that identify Cleveland
as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame City. For visitors, it should be ingrained in
them from the moment they step foot here until they leave. Anyway, that's
another rant for another day.
I have to admit one of the reasons I wanted to check out GuitarMania was to see the finished Cleveland.com guitar "True Grit" that was decorated, by artist Garrett Weider, with Twitter handles from the last Tweet Up...including mine! (@jeremybednarski, by the way, in case you don't follow me.) The guitar turned out beautiful. One of the best...and that's saying a lot because there are some outstanding guitars. My other favorites include "No Stone Left Unturned", "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" (Cleveland Indians) and the Alice Cooper guitar that I don't know the name of.
Then, it was on to Horseshoe Cleveland! Luckily there was no waiting to get in. The casino was incredibly well done! All the excitement of the slot machines and the cheers from lucky gamblers at the tables made us want to jump right in! The dealers were very fun and interactive. What they lacked in speed (which will continue to improve), they made up for with personality and warmth. The tables are a little expensive still (mostly $25 tables with a couple $15 tables), but my wife had fun at Blackjack and Roulette. When I wasn't cheering her on, I was having fun with the Batman and Ghostbusters penny slots...I had some decent luck on them too.
The only downside was the bar service. They were severely understaffed and didn't seem to move with much of a sense of urgency. This caused long waits for drinks. It didn't help that they would only serve one drink per person. I couldn't buy my wife a drink who was at a slot machine literally two feet from the bar area and in full view. While I understand their frustrations as they were slammed, one bartender was incredibly rude to my wife (ok, he was just an ass). However, a quick conversation with the apologetic manager smoothed things over.
Sandwiched between stints in the casino was dinner at Hodge's
Cleveland. Long
story short, the food was amazing! We were excited to try their food ever since
watching Chris Hodgson and his team on Great Food Truck Race on Food Network. I had the "unfried chicken" and my wife had
the ribeye steak, and we shared the gnudi. Everything was perfectly cooked and just out
of this world. Truly another restaurant gem in Cleveland!
Overall, what a great time in downtown
Cleveland. The casino adds a new level of excitement
to Cleveland. We're
excited to go back. If you've been to
the casino or Hodge's, let me know what you think of them, or your favorite
Guitarmania artist. Also, let me know
what your favorite spots are in Cleveland.
We're always looking for new places to

New Zealand Win's the 35th America's Cup!
Congratulations to Emirates Team New Zealand on winning the 35th America's Cup. The Kiwi's took a stomping lead in the final stage of the competition, finishing Sunday with the score line set at 6-1 over Oracle Team USA. However there were still fears that Jimmy Spithill and his team could muster up another miracle come back, similar to their one in the 2013 America's Cup when they came back from a 8-1 set back only to take the win over Emirates Team New Zealand 9-8.
History didn't repeat itself this time round, the Kiwi's kept that laser focus they've shown throughout the competition and won their final two races giving them 8 wins and an overall finishing score of 7-1 with a 55 second lead in the final race.
The Kiwi's will now be defending in the 36th America's Cup, we're already looking forward to the next events racing!

Enlarging the 'Family' in Family Law
Long before Proposition 8, Jeffrey Bollinger was working to legalize same-sex marriage
Published in 2009 Southern California Rising Stars Magazine on June 16, 2009
Years before Proposition 8 hit the books in California, Jeffrey Bollinger was making his mark on the issue of same-sex marriage. It was the late '80s/early '90s, and he was a law student at Pepperdine University—a self-professed liberal in an "ultra-conservative" environment. Bollinger, one of only three openly gay students at the law school, decided to write a paper for his comparative law class about the rights of same-sex couples to marry. Little did he know what he was getting himself into.
His professor—and the school—considered the topic unacceptable, and he was reprimanded for arguing in favor of same-sex marriage. "It was just so strange to me. And just me being me, I turned around and said, 'Well, I'll write another one.' The next year, I took another class and thought, 'Here's another opportunity; let's see what happens this time.' Same thing," he says.
The reaction to those two papers sparked something in Bollinger, now 42. "I never considered myself to be political before that time. I had never been in an environment as challenging, where I was personally challenged. And I think it was a phenomenal experience, that opportunity for me to defend myself, and I had to do that—I had to answer for writing on subjects that were disfavored by the school," he says.
Not that fitting in has ever been high on Bollinger's list of priorities. As a kid, he would wear "ridiculous costumes" to Hebrew school to express his individuality after a day stuck in private-school uniforms. "I had to do that," he says. "If I had to come home and take my uniform off and put on jeans and a T-shirt, I would have died inside every single time."
In college, while other kids his age were partying, he was catering 100-person parties for his parents, who were convinced he'd be a chef. And years later, when he went to law school, he did so with no intent to practice law—he just thought it should be part of one's general education.
Bollinger did stay away from law, as planned, for a full decade after graduation. He worked in public relations and marketing at a start-up company in San Francisco during the Internet boom ("It was phenomenal"), then at an agency in New York. It wasn't until his siblings—both attorneys—started having kids that he felt a pull to move back to Los Angeles. Once there, he found himself at a crossroads. Many people he talked to suggested law, even those who didn't know he'd gone to law school. Figuring they must know something he didn't, he finally opened himself to the idea, and one thing came to mind: family law.
"I specifically chose family law because of my experience in law school," Bollinger says. "My interest was sparked in having written these papers on same-sex marriage a decade earlier and the [family law attorneys] that I had met."
Admittedly, family law provides an interesting contradiction for a gay man in post-Proposition 8 California: Bollinger spends much of his days helping heterosexual couples divorce when he doesn't have the right to marry. Still, as an associate at the family law firm of Phillips, Lerner, Lauzon & Jamra, he's doing what he can to enlarge the "family" in family law. He does work with domestic partnerships, and he's taken an active role in minority bar associations.
In 2007, Bollinger became co-president of the Lesbian & Gay Lawyers Association (LGLA) of Los Angeles, through which he organized social networking events, continuing education programming and work on political and legislative issues, including the gay marriage issue. The group reviewed and signed onto amicus briefs when the gay marriage cases were pending in California and did community outreach when Proposition 8 was looming.
Bollinger's Pepperdine past came back to haunt him during the lead-up to Proposition 8, when a Pepperdine law professor appeared in a TV ad for the "Yes on 8" campaign. And now, he says, Pepperdine University School of Law Dean Kenneth Starr is seeking to have invalidated the 20,000 gay marriages that took place before Proposition 8 passed in November. "My law school has been actively working against my interests as a citizen," Bollinger says.
Which is why it's good, in the end, that Pepperdine prepared him so well to fight for his own interests. Armed with his PR experience and a desire to take a stand, Bollinger is now serving his second year as chair of the Multicultural Bar Alliance of Southern California and has participated in diversity initiatives with the state bar and a bench and bar diversity group in the superior court. And he, along with the LGLA, is involved in efforts to overturn Proposition 8 and spread public awareness about the rights he first wrote about nearly two decades earlier.
That includes stamping out the "air of complacency" leading up to Proposition 8, which Bollinger says he probably shared himself, thinking the proposition would never pass. "Sometimes, learning from failure is the best kind of learning," he says, "because you really remember very clearly. It has staying power."

While Kendall Jenner was out and about modeling for Fashion Week, US Weekly asked her about big sis Khloe's struggles to get pregnant. Kendall was super sympathetic and supportive of Khloe and Lamar.
She's always wanted kids. I can see her being such an amazing mother -- she was like my second mom growing up. She was always around babysitting when my parents were out of town and she has always been there, so it's sad because I know how much she loves kids. But God has a plan; something will happen soon enough.
It's so sweet that Kendall sees her sister as an ideal mother. Khloe really made an impression on her. But leaving it all up to God? Only a teenager!
We all know that saying, "God helps those who help themselves." I think if "something will happen" any time soon, it'll be because Khloe and Lamar made it happen themselves. God hasn't made anything happen in the baby department since little baby Jesus, know what I mean?
It sounds like Khloe's not ovulating regularly. That means she'll probably need some sort of treatment. Put it this way: Maybe "God's plan" is for Khloe to come up with her own plan. I mean, that's how it usually works. In this life, you have to take active steps to get what you want. And then you put yourself into the hands of your higher power. (Which is really just a way of relaxing and accepting whatever happens.)
Unless by "God" Kendall means the show's producers? Oh sorry, that was too cynical of me! Anyway, I think Khloe should take Kendall's love and support. But as for a plan -- that's all up to her, Lamar, and their fertility doctor.
Do you believe God has a plan for everyone or do we make things happen for ourselves?

A Heart Free From Pride
Prayer for Expressing Gratitude
Prayer for Strength
A Prayer for My Wife
Prayer for a Worthy Family
This is the day that God has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
—Psalm 118:24
Morning Prayer: Prayer for Expressing Gratitude
Gracious God, in the busy-ness of my day, I sometimes forget to stop to thank you for all that is good in my life.
My blessings are many and my heart is filled with gratefulness for the gift of living, for the ability to love and be loved, for the opportunity to see the everyday wonders of creation, for sleep and water, for a mind that thinks and a body that feels.
I thank you, too, for those things in my life that are less than I would hope them to be. Things that seem challenging, unfair, or difficult. When my heart feels stretched and empty, and pools of tears form in my weary eyes, still I rejoice that you are as near to me as my next breath and that in the midst of turbulence, I am growing and learning.
In the silence of my soul, I thank you most of all for your unconditional and eternal love.
—from Prayers for Living

Mission Imperative
We are a not-for-profit ministry. Our main activities are public speaking (seminars) on origins related issues, and the production of DVDs that communicate the same message.
We need a 5ft. X 3ft. banner to be used in trade shows as a backdrop for our booth display. We have medium grey curtains that we use as our main backdrop. So, we wanted the edges of our banner to be a similar grey, but then interrupted by plant life or some images from nature, with our logo in the middle over black. I have attached a rough idea that I drew in Publisher as a start. As you can see, I didn't cover all of the black edges. I have no way of adding actual photo images with the see-through background to make it realisitc-looking. I have in mind plants appearing as though from WITHIN the banner and flowing toward the edge, rather than FROM the edge of the banner. I hope this makes sense. In my image, there is a chameleon. It's not necessary - it's just an idea although I like chameleons and have bought that image already.
I've also attached our actual logo. But, I like the border around the word "Imperative".
This must be eye-catching to people passing by our booth. We don't want it looking cartoon-ey. We need a bright, cheerfukl design with photo images that create a jungle or safari-like image.

5 of 5 stars
From the opening pages when 21-year-old Velma Jean Hart is piloting a B-17 bomber across the Atlantic Ocean, I was intrigued with this character. In 1944 she was only the second woman to have accomplished this feat. Velma is a member of the Women Air Force Pilots (WASP) and nothing is more challenging for her than flying a plane. When she volunteers to co-pilot an allied mission to drop agents in France, she has no idea that it will change her life forever. The plane is shot down in the French countryside and Velma must learn to survive while eluding capture by the Germans who are scouring the area for survivors. With the 5 agents who parachuted before the plane crashed, Velma makes her way to Paris where she takes up her alias as Clementine Roux. She works with the Resistance sabotaging German operations however she can.
This story is one of courage, commitment to doing the right thing and the will to survive despite overwhelming odds. Scene after scene will keep you glued to the story especially the chapters dealing with the brutal prison. Will Clementine crack under interrogation by the German commandant? Is she still trying to collect intel on the enigmatic spy known only as "Swan" who is also in German custody even when her own life is in jeopardy. The storyline is riveting, and though it is not a true story, it could very well be one. That's how realistic and compelling Velma/Clementine's story is. There were so many courageous and dedicated people trying to defeat the Germans during World War II. This is just one story, but an absolute must read.
