The Alaska DOT&PF , like all other State DOT's, is required to maintain a Qualified Products List (QPL), as a method for identifying products that have been approved for use in DOT construction. These products range from bridge piers and guardrails to paint and cones, and they must often meet strict criteria. Each potential QPL product has to go through a lengthy paperwork process from initial submission to review, testing, and approval/denial. The Alaska DOT wanted to streamline this process as much as possible using todays available technologies. Applied Microsystems was called upon to develop a secure, web-based app that would replace the labor-intensive workflow and streamline processes for all stakeholders: DOT staff, manufacturers, and contractors. We called it the eQPL (electronic Qualified Products List).
Our deliberate and careful planning process has paid off once again: The Alaska DOT is currently managing its Qualified Products List via our web-based application. Manufacturers can now enter their products into the QPL queue online, contractors can browse through approved products, and DOT staff can easily keep track of and manage products in the QPL. Not only are workflow processes streamlined, the DOT saves on paper and the large costs of time and labor. Our web-based solution has been so successful that we have decided to offer it to other state DOT's. Interested?

Step by step instructions to legitimately discover your position
Opening day, cool temps, and a parking area. You're setting up your new board in the parking area and understand that on the off chance that you continue doing this you won't feel your hands after for a short time…
Try not to be that person. Be prepared when opening day comes. Set up your in a warmed safe house. All you require is a screwdriver and a tad of information. A measuring tape can likewise help as well.
TIP 1: Angles
This is the course your toes will moment that tied into the board. Initially, lay your board on an even surface, at that point remain over it. See what feels good, having your points the inverse or the same. The fundamental position points are between – 18 to 18 degrees. In case you're anticipating riding switch, ensure you have a bit "Duck" to your position. This implies your back foot is the inverse point of your front foot. So say your front foot is a 15, your back foot would then be a negative 15. In the event that you will likely do some cruel cuts, put the two ties at a positive edge. Attempt an assortment of positions to perceive what you're most alright with.
TIP 2: Width
The width of the position is the separation between the focal point of each authoritative. To gauge what your position width would be, measure from foot rear area to knee top. This is the thing that the typical separation is for the vast majority. Ensure a certain something, that it isn't awkwardly wide or limit. The common position width is a smidgen more extensive than your shoulders. The most critical thing is to not feel clumsy while tied into your board.
TIP 3: Throwing it all together
For this progression you will require a #3 Phillips head screwdriver. In the first place, put the ties on the board where you found what was generally agreeable. Presently you will need to put the middle plates or as we jump at the chance to call them treats in the ties. Ensure that the gaps in the treats coordinate with the screw openings on the board. Place the fasteners in the right spot, utilize the #3 Philips go to fix the screws. A simple approach to test the position is to influence the jolts to free and remain in the ties. Along these lines it will be less demanding to re-change them on the off chance that it doesn't feel right.
When you have the ties on and fixed, it's a great opportunity to lash in. When you tie in, ensure the coupling lash is revolved around the boot. On the off chance that it isn't focused you may have uneven weight focuses, which suck coincidentally. On the off chance that the lashes aren't focused, there ought to be something on the tie that gives you a chance to fix and additionally slacken it.
TIP 4: Finishing touches
Before hitting the slants you will need to dull or hone your edges. On the off chance that you hit rails you will need to dull the edges simply enough so it lessens the odds of you getting an edge. To dull or hone them you will require a record. Watch this short video on the best way to dull your edges. After you completed the specialized part, it's a great opportunity to influence your board to look great. As everybody calls it, a "sticker work", is a reasonable approach to influence your board to look smooth. Kick the bucket cut stickers or consistent stickers can transform any board into a gem. You simply need to discover stickers that you like!

Australia is slowly starting to celebrate Halloween which I think is fantastic. I love the fun of it. So much so that I made some last minute decorations to show people that they could trick or treat at our house.
It's good we didn't have too many visitors because someone found his way into the candy bowl...
Well this post hasn't been very stitchy related but I thought I'd add some pictures of two of my favourite places.
The last two are Pioneer Village in Armadale. If you've ever ordered from Colours Down Under then this is where it comes from. haha. It's another ye olde (noticing a theme?) style shopping village.
Now before I leave you to enjoy your festivities I need 3 tributes...I mean volunteers....;) who would like to take part in the Around the World blog hop. I was tagged by Rosey175 over on her blog Ishkabibble and will put my post up on Monday but I need to tag 3 people to pass it on to. I don't really want to just tag people in case they don't want to do it so if you would like to then please leave a comment bellow. You will have to make your post on the 10th of November and hopefully tag 3 more people to pass it along to,
Phwew. That was longer than I expected it to be. Haha. As always, thank you for reading, commenting and following.
Until next time,

Delphi, OnStar Work With Google and Others to Connect Your Smart Phone to Your Car
(Page 2 of 2)
you can do on the console computer. Keep the phone itself in your pocket, in the glove compartment, or center console, and forget about it.
No official partnerships have been announced, Schumacher says, but "we're talking with everybody, there's engineering work going on." Delphi has two test versions, one running Windows and the other Linux. The latter grew out of the work of a consortium that Delphi helped found about 18 months ago, known as GENIVI, which is aimed at creating what the group calls "automotive grade Linux." The consortium involves Delphi, GM, BMW, and other automotive companies and suppliers, along with Intel and other silicon and software providers.
Delphi's computer, running Windows or Linux, will run all your infotainment systems, like satellite radio and navigation, and will connect to your Android (Google), iPhone, or Blackberry smart phone.
When the car is parked, users will have access to all their smart phone apps. "And then when you shift into drive and take off, you don't want people being distracted in the vehicle, looking down and looking at all the little icons," Schumacher says. So, only certain, carefully selected and validated "drive-mode" applications will work, like the navigation screen or satellite radio. Anything that involves video or "a lot of textual information" will be locked out.
The lockouts, Schumacher says, are an answer to anticipated government regulations against the use of smart phones in the car. "There's a great opportunity to seamlessly, and responsibly, connect smart phones to cars," he says.
Who's going to decide what apps are appropriate for drive mode? "Well, that's a very good point and it's something we're discussing with all of our vehicle manufacturers and customers right now," Schumacher says. "There needs to be somebody to appropriately modify the apps and to validate or certify them that they're appropriate to use in the car in drive mode."
Schumaker says that it might turn out that Delphi might be the ones to make the modifications or determinations.,
Right now, the technology is being shown to a number of customers worldwide and Schumaker expects it to be in cars in the next few years.
"It's very exciting," Schumaker says. "It's an absolute revolution in automotive electronics in the cockpit.

Far more than just an MIS
At IQ, we provide a Management Workflow System (far more than just an MIS) complete with functionality specific to your industry segment. We have solutions for: Design, Digital, Flexo, Fulfillment, Labels, Mail, Offset, Packaging, Signage, Wide Format.
Why Work With Us?
The printIQ MWS (Management Workflow System) encompasses everything from a full customer web portal, with online quoting, ordering, and payment gateway through to end-to-end automated production with live display, automated outsourcing, inventory, purchasing & dispatch.
What really drew us to printIQ is that they look at the world slightly differently.
They don't necessarily think that the way it's always been done is the correct way or should even be the 'normal' way and that relates exactly to the way we operate. Our clients typically come to us with a concept, and we figure out how to make it work.
With printIQ we can log in anywhere in the world, track jobs online, and manage the entire project from estimating all the way through to invoicing. That kind of efficiency allows us to focus on what we do best: printing award-winning projects.
Read more from Matt Mills
Matt MillsFuzed New Zealand
Our customers have asked us for many years to recommend a best of breed quoting and MIS software
The printIQ MWS ably provides this capability and as a result our sales people are confident to offer it as the solution of choice.
Alistair EganFujiXerox New Zealand
After looking for a long time at different MIS, we were fortunate to find printIQ, it ticked all the boxes and then some. We have a very demanding work flow and handle a lot of variable data printing and needed a delivery system that would allow us an audit trail. We had invested a lot of money on another system and have had also built our own. printIQ was the only system that exceeded all our requirements (and didn't break the bank!). The after-sales implementation and support has cemented in the fact that we made the right decision to go with printIQ.
Kevin FiskeFiske Advertising
With four different workflows to manage, we had to find a system to manage all as efficiently as each other. We came from a server-based system which had issues in integrating with pre-press and suppliers. printIQ has all of these workflows covered with their holistic cloud based system. Operating over 3 shifts with 45 staff, printIQ helps manage the workflow and maintain continuity between stock suppliers, internal shop floor, right through to outscoring.
I can now see what's happening at a glance from anywhere in the world. When you're working in an ever-changing industry which is so heavily leveraged towards IT and efficiencies, you really need a system that understands your business. I would recommend the printIQ MWS to any forward-thinking company, as it has been built with tomorrow's print workflows in mind.
Matt WhittonFast Proof Press
printIQ encompasses everything that you want in a modern management system. IQ has an easy-to-use interface, good flexibility and it's undergoing constant development.
We have only just scratched the surface of what the software is capable of and are excited for the benefits in automation and efficiency we will reap as we continue to integrate it further into the business.
Matt ChadwickExpress Print & Mail
Having used printIQ for almost a year I would have to say that it ticks all the boxes as a quality all round MIS/Workflow system. To date we have been pleasantly surprised with how far we have come in such a short space of time. Only having scratched the surface of the functionally and integration possibilities on offer there is still plenty of scope for further advancements within our production environment. With a strong focus on product development and continuous improvement the R&D team are really thinking 'big picture' and regularly release exciting new features that further enhance an already brilliant product.
All the team at printIQ are extremely personable and they back it up with great product support. Therefore I would have no hesitation in recommending printIQ as a product which continues to develop and push the boundaries that are necessary to remain ahead of the game in today's challenging environment.
Tony WillsCraig Print
We have been working with printIQ for over 4 years and from the beginning we knew we had made the right choice. Since our implementation, we have diversified in many areas and printIQ has been able to facilitate each stage of our growth. printIQ is now an integral part of our business and has helped in automating and streamlining our processes. The efficiencies we've gained in allowing our account managers to quote has increased our quote response rate without having to employ dedicated estimators.
Production scheduling has never been easier, it has allowed us to move to a paperless job bag environment with real time data reducing the number of errors in production. The reporting module has allowed us to understand our operations and make better-calculated decisions for the future growth of our business. None of this would be possible without a dedicated, innovative and committed team and that is what you get from IQ. They're always happy to bend over backwards to get the job done. printIQ has completely changed our business for the better and our company couldn't have gone so far in such a short time without printIQ.
Aldo discusses printIQ
Aldo BurcheriCourtney Colour
We chose printIQ for its wide-ranging functionality, the fact that it was cloud-based and a supplier that understands the market. We needed to know that this would be a well-planned implementation, and we were reassured by the structured and documented process that the IQ guys followed. In fact, every aspect of the plan was dated with clear deliverables.
With printIQ we have all the data at our fingertips, there is no need to be tied to the office. Our team have access to pertinent data wherever they are. And the support from printIQ has been fantastic, IQ have got a great team of guys, and when we need help they are onto it straight away.
As general manager, I have more information about the key indicators that impact profitability, and we can turn a job around more quickly than ever before. I started doing complex quotes without too much tuition because it is logical. These guys really get it, and I know we have not explored or discovered all the benefits yet. Honestly, I am really pleased with printIQ. There is no comparison to our previous MIS Systems – this really does what they said it would.
Matt NaughtonPrintcraft
Moving away from your existing MIS, or choosing your first is a huge decision. After almost 20 years running our business with an old MIS, we needed a lot more. But who to choose? After six months researching, testing, and meeting with all the market had to offer, the Adpost Group management team selected printIQ, but more importantly we choose the IQ team as our working partners.
printIQ is more than just an MIS it's a full MWS (Management Workflow System). With printIQ you can keep it as simple as your business requires or work with the team at IQ to customise to meet your specific business requirements. They can integrate the most complicated processes, or the specific software that your business needs.
Big thanks to Anthony, Mick and the full printIQ Team. We're looking forward to working with you all for many years to come.
Jason InceAdpost
Installing printIQ has changed the dynamics of our business at Chameleon Group. This MWS has streamlined many of our processes and helped us to become more lean and efficient, whilst automating some of the tedious tasks undertaken daily.
I recommend printIQ to any business looking to improve its operations, create accountability and automate the daily tasks in a free-flowing job environment.

Torsion Limits and Riemann-Roch Systems for Function Fields and Applications
Ignacio Cascudo and Ronald Cramer and Chaoping Xing
The Ihara limit (or constant) $A(q)$ has been a central problem of study in the asymptotic theory of global function fields (or equivalently, algebraic curves over finite fields). It addresses global function fields with many rational points and, so far, most applications of this theory do not require additional properties. Motivated by recent applications, we require global function fields with the additional property that their zero class divisor groups contain at most a small number of $d$-torsion points. We capture this with the notion of torsion limit, a new asymptotic quantity for global function fields. It seems that it is even harder to determine values of this new quantity than the Ihara constant. Nevertheless, some non-trivial upper bounds are derived. Apart from this new asymptotic quantity and bounds on it, we also introduce Riemann-Roch systems of equations. It turns out that this type of equation system plays an important role in the study of several other problems in each of these areas: arithmetic secret sharing, symmetric bilinear complexity of multiplication in finite fields, frameproof codes and the theory of error correcting codes. Finally, we show how our new asymptotic quantity, our bounds on it and Riemann-Roch systems can be used to improve results in these areas.

We calculate three-dimensional (3D) dispersion relations of woodpile and inverse opal photonic crystals. Inspecting the iso-frequency surfaces of the four lowest-order bands at appropriate frequencies we identify regions where self-collimation of light may be expected. These predictions are verified by means of finite-difference time-domain calculations both for high- and low-index photonic crystals.

I have been playing this new game called Civilization Revolution. In this game you start with one city and you explore the world, research technologies, expand, fight wars, and there are four ways to win:
1. Conquer everyone
2. Build a "World Bank"
3. Build the "United Nations" (I think this is an evolved version that's actually a world government)
4. Colonize another planet
To win the 4th way you have to be scientifically advanced, have the industrial strength to build a space ship, and then wait.
I think there should be a 5th way you can win, and that's to invent time travel. At first your time travel would be pretty primitive, but eventually you'd be able to see the future and use its technologies in the present day, or travel to the past and change things to your advantage. That, to me, clearly makes you the winner.
Even if you believe in the "alternate universe" theory of time travel, at least you'd be changing things to your advantage in that other universe, which is still a victory. If it is an alternate universe, you could give them time travel technology and give them instructions to travel to another one and do what you've asked until eventually someone else would travel to your universe and do it to yours.
Any way you slice it, you'd definitely "win" the game if you invented time travel.

About Us
In 1989, Mr. A.M. Samsuali the Chairman and Founding father of this company " The Chennai Mobiles " started his profession as an employee in a very little Shopping Store in his neighborhood. Our Chair Mr. Samsuali has been granted as "The Best Younger Entrepreneur" by Rathinam Groups in Coimbatore, and he has been identified almost by all as one of the Major Innovator in Cellular Retail store Market.
Due to his members of the family monetary problems, he has considered up to the required making for his members of the family. progressively with his effort, he did a lot of little company by promoting Watch, Belt, Personal stereo, Cell phone Sim Card & Restores etc. In 1993 he has started out a store in Chennai with a collaboration. After Ten years, he has Opened his own first Retail Mobile store in Coimbatore in the name of Chennai Mobiles and Later it has been modified to " The Chennai Mobiles" By then, the store had shifted on from promoting Regular Cell phones & Recharges to Branded mobiles with all Branded Devices.
Ambitious is contagious. When you reach one, you see another. That's how The Chennai mobile store has grown into what it is today: A Multi-Brand Retail Store Massive in Tamil Nadu, with over 70 shops and 12 thousand delighted customers. The Chennai mobiles offer 1.4 thousand mobile phones every season and are Rs.300 crore marketing Company, with employing more than 1000 people. The Chennai Mobiles " is an Innovator in Multiple string Sites in Tamil Nadu. We started marginally as a separate Mobile store in 2003 and since then extended to 70 Stores across Tamil Nadu protecting all 16 regions in Tamil Nadu.
The turning point for The Chennai mobile was 2005. we(The Chennai Mobiles) made the determination to offer only Branded cell phones and its Components and have cornered to it until date. Around the time, SIM cards were promoted to customers through quick marketing providers who instructed them to the greyish industry for buying devices. However, The Chennai mobiles aggravated people to buy the SIM card and the device in one place even though it was more expensive than the greyish industry.
We provide the best product that you can only anticipate from The Chennai Mobiles. The Chennai mobiles became the earliest retail store in Coimbatore for promoting Brand Mobiles in 2006. Nowadays, we have over 2000 display rooms across Tamil Nadu. We have 50-plus display rooms in Tamil Nadu on your own. We are the store who has around 22 shops in only one town - Coimbatore.
In Jan 2014, The Chennai mobiles defeated all the Distributors in Rest Of Tamil Nadu to win the award for 'Excellence in client service' at the second Economic Times Retail store Prizes. We were selected out from not just among other cell phone suppliers but composed the whole retail fraternity and across all the products and groups.
In 2015 We have started out the Biggest Shop for Cell phones in Coimbatore, TCM was the only biggest Unique Cellular display showroom in whole Southern India with More Live Experience Areas for our customers. We also give live experience to our clients with our Live Tryout mobile phones in our counters. Smile in our Customers face gives us energy and keep us going.
At the moment, we don't offer cell phones. We proffer 'customer experience' and highly believe in CARE – Clients Are Really Everything. It was the 'Trust factor' that got us here originally.

Parent-teacher conferences provide excellent opportunities for home and school to unite in an effort to enrich a child's social and academic growth. Teachers bring expertise in content areas, curriculum planning, classroom organization, and student motivation. Parents have unique insights about their child's needs, aspirations, interests, and aptitudes. The challenge lies in discovering the best way for you and your child's teachers to communicate and implement appropriate enrichment experiences.
Before the Conference, Educate Yourself
At the Conference, Use Positive Communication Techniques
Arrive promptly at the scheduled conference time. Enter confidently and shake hands with the teacher, giving your name and your child's name. Both parents should attend when possible. Single parents might ask a relative, friend, or someone who shares responsibility for the child to accompany them. When possible, arrange to sit in an "adult" chair at eye level with the teacher. Listen actively. Be calm, diplomatic, and tactful. With your body language show that you are interested in what the teacher has to say. If you feel you are leaving conferences with only surface information such as test scores and attendance records, ask some questions that will delve deeper into the child's school life.
For example:
Find ways to show appreciation for the positives that happen
in the classroom. Avoid absolutes (always, never) and words
describing your child that might have a negative impact on the
teacher (bored, brilliant). Instead, use language such as, "My
child seems to learn differently" or "needs less time and fewer
repetitions to master the content." Express a willingness to help
solve problems. The emphasis is on what you and the teacher can
do together, not just what the teacher can do.
If you do not understand or agree with the teacher's suggestions,
reflect on the possibilities and follow up later. After giving
some thought to an idea or trying it at home, you may find it
has value. On other occasions, you might conclude that you and
the teacher need to look for a better way to proceed.
When making curriculum suggestions, be specific about a
strategy that fits your child's needs and has been recognized in
quality gifted programs. Show how it reflects the district's goals
or policies and how you could help at home to make it successful.
It is important that these suggestions be made first with the
child's classroom teacher. Only when you have been unable to
reach a mutual decision after several honest professional attempts
should you take the issue to the principal or gifted education
Finally, teachers appreciate follow-up notes thanking them
for their time and interest in your child. School communication
is a vital and on-going process. The more insights you and the
teacher share about each other and your child, the greater the
chances for educational growth.

The homeless and those who've been unemployed for a long time can become vulnerable to those who would take advantage of them, including scammers, according to Daisy Jones, coordinator for Hinesville's Homeless Prevention Program.
"One of our clients recently told us she had gotten a job," Jones said. "We were excited for her until she told us more about this job she'd learned about from an online job service.
"Our client is a very young lady whose entire work experience has been in child care and food service, and yet she was being offered a supervisor's job with the (Georgia Department of Labor) in Atlanta. What's more, this job required special training in Utah, paid for by the state, and the job included a relocation allowance. She also had been sent a list of rental property in Atlanta, but so far, they haven't asked her for any money."
Jones said her staff immediately was suspicious and contacted Gary Varner, the manager of the DOL's Hinesville office. Varner told her staff it was very unlikely their client had been offered a job with the DOL. He said Georgia's DOL does no training in Utah, and in his 20 years with the department, he'd learned of no relocation-assistance programs for employees.
"I told them to advise her not to give them any money," Varner said, admitting he had heard nothing about this apparent scam until he was contacted by Jones' office. "We hear about these kinds of scams once in a while. It's a shame there are people out there willing to prey on people looking for real help. Usually, they try to get money from you up front. There was a scam I heard about down in Brunswick a while back where they wanted money up front for work uniforms. I always tell people not to give out your personal information (online or over the phone) and never give them any money."
Varner noted that an employment application, which usually includes the address and, more importantly, the person's Social Security number, potentially could be used by a bogus job service company to get more than money. They could steal someone's identity. He said the old warning about something being too good to be true often is just that — too good to be true.
Jones said her department works with the DOL as well as local organizations that help the homeless and the underemployed. She said the goal of Hinesville's Homeless Prevention Program is to help homeless families become self-sufficient. The 15 homeless families her staff currently is helping are required to locate, maintain and improve their employment status, she said. They're also required to participate in life skills development classes, most of which focus on personal finances. A class already scheduled for this month, however, includes job searching skills, Jones said.
The homeless and those who've been unemployed for a long time can become vulnerable to those who would take advantage of them, including scammers, according to Daisy Jones, coordinator for Hinesville's Homeless Prevention Program.

Tips on Maintaining a Peaceful Home
With all that is going on in our very unsettled world at the moment, it has never been more important to provide a safe and peaceful environment in the family home.
We would like to share with you Dr Shirin Sherkat of Create Happy Kids article to help you achieve this …
"Peace begins with a smile." – Mother Teresa
Maintaining peace in your home creates a positive environment where children feel secure and loved, and where family values can be taught and strong relationships built. Maintaining peace in the home should be an ultimate goal of every parent.
In my previous article, I began sharing some tools and strategies for maintaining peace in your home, and in this article I will continue with more ideas that will help you build that peaceful environment.
Celebrate Small Victories:
For example, you see your nine-year old son, who has been trying to master the multiplication table, doing his homework. He has been feeling a bit frustrated about the process. You notice that he has gotten a few answers correct on his assignment. You take a moment and praise him for that. You may not think praising him is a very important action on your part, but it can be very significant.
Some young adults who are self-critical don't appreciate strengths in themselves; because they lack self-esteem, they start out as young kids who may be hard on themselves and are not guided to celebrate and appreciate accomplishments. Small accomplishments can lead to bigger accomplishments. A small word of praise, a thumbs-up, or even a simple "good job!" can go a long way in making a small victory into a big accomplishment.
Praise Attempts:
By giving a positive reinforcement, and a little, "Good try buddy" when you see your kids trying to do the right thing, you are rewarding their attempts. Regardless of whether they succeed or not, you want to make sure your kids try their best. After all, you don't want to raise perfectionists. If you want to foster an environment where your children don't give up trying to behave, then keep rewarding their attempts at making better decisions. This practice can be very effective in building independence skills in your children and in preventing "meltdowns".

your story with God0 comments Posted by david sherwood at 7:00 AM
communicating your story
1 - Realize the Power of Your story
First and foremost - remember - there is power in your testimony! Revelation 12:11 says we overcome our enemy be the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.
2 - Study an Example of a Testimony from the Bible
Read Acts 26. Here the Apostle Paul gives his testimony.
3 - Spend Time in Thought Preparation
There are a few things to consider before you start writing your story. Think about your life before you met Jesus. What was going on in your life leading up to your transformation? What problems or needs were you facing at the time? How did your life change after that?
4 - Start with a Simple 3-Point Outline
A three-point approach is very effective in communicating your spiritual biography. The outline focuses on before you trusted Jesus, how you began a relationship with him, and the difference since you've been in a relationship with him.
Before: Simply tell what your life was like before you knew Jesus. What were you searching for before coming to know Him? What was the key problem, emotion, situation or attitude you were dealing with? What motivated you? What were your actions? How did you try to satisfy your inner needs? (Examples of inner needs are loneliness, fear of death, insecurity. Possible ways to fill those needs include work, money, drugs, relationships, sports, sex.)
How: How were you transformed? Simply tell the events and circumstances that caused you to consider Jesus as the solution to your searching. Take time to identify the steps that brought you to the point of trusting Him. Where were you? What was happening at the time? What people or problems influenced your decision?
Since: How has your life with Jesus made a difference? How has his forgiveness impacted you? How have your thoughts, attitudes and emotions changed? Share how God is meeting your needs and what a relationship with him means to you now.
5 - Important Tips to Remember
Stick to the point. Your conversion and new life in Christ should be the main points.
Be specific. Include events, genuine feelings and personal insights that clarify your main point. This makes your testimony tangible - something others can relate to.
Be current. Tell what is happening in your life with God now, today.
Be honest. Don't exaggerate or dramatize your life for effect. The simple truth of what God has done in your life is all the Holy Spirit needs to convict others of their sin and convince them of his love and grace.
Be Relevant. Use the language of our culture and then write it; practice it; record it in Mp3 or video it to Blue Ray.
Then give it away!
sworn statement0 comments Posted by david sherwood at 6:57 AM
A screech of tires…the car flips over…then an eternity of silence…
You are stuck in the vehicle upside down, trapped inside. Blood trickles down from your head, and you try to not pass out.
Then suddenly you see another car coming down the highway towards you. It stops and someone gets out. They come over to the car, and smile at you, and you try to smile back. You start to try to explain that you were driving too fast on the ice…that you are trapped inside…that you need help.
And then he does the amazing. He grabs the car with two hands and actually flips the whole car over. He then rips off the doors and gently places both of his hands under you and pulls you out of the wreckage and close to himself.
You wonder if your hallucinating. Or if you are in an out-take of a scene from the next SUPERMAN movie. Then you pass out.
When you awake in the hospital you tell people the story. And there starts to be some buzz about it. Reporters visit the crash site and investigate the car. The find finger dents in the metal where the man grabbed the car and flipped it over. Evidence of what happened. The door to the car as well has fingerprints.
CNN picks up the story, and there is a search in the nearby towns for this stranger. And as you get better you too are obsessed to discover who has saved you. Your insurance agency asks you to fill out a sworn statement about the events. And the police ask for your testimony.
But you never find the man…BUT…what if you did? What would happen? To you and to him?
And after all, weren't we all in a car wreck call life? And didn't Jesus rescue us from ourselves? And if we revisit that in our minds aren't our hearts filled again with wonder and joy?
And in light of the fact that it took his death to save us, shouldn't we tell somebody.
Couldn't we tell everybody!
Who should you tell?

intercession relationships0 comments Posted by david sherwood at 10:21 AM
i had a conversation about prayer with someone today, and thought i would share what intercession means for a church.
this will take several posts, but the simplist one is first
intercession relationships:
we all need to be back to back protecting one another. what this means for us is that we engage consistantly in praying for 3 groups of people...probably daily.
- those in authority over us. Our boss, the president, our parents, our pastors, our small group leaders etc. We bring them before God and ask that God would be in thier lives; that his presence and protection would fill them. That His wisdom and agenda would infiltrate and influence them. etc.
- those that are our peers. Our co-workers; spouse; other people in the church etc. we do the same as above.
- those that are our disciples. our employees; our children; people on our teams or those we are mentoring. we do the same as above.
when we do this we find that prayer also has a call-back feature that effects us. We end up with Gods heart for these people starting to draw us into Gods will for them. we then find we can be gods agents in thier lives and give them grace, mercy, forgiveness etc. we also find that we then understand how to serve and love them. sometimes this means obedience, or confrontation, or 7 times 70 forgiveness, or a word of encouragement...
prayer is an act of God's people [or persons] caring for one another as a spiritual family with a Father figure leading us all.
many times we have unnatural breaks in relationships simply because we don't spend time with our Father searching to understand how he wants the family to operate. When we are with him, we enter into his feelings, wisdom, and will. Sure we can listen to Oprah, Dr Phil, and Dr Laura and all the self help books and therapists. But the 1st place to go is to God.
when a church does this, and invisible spiritual bonding begins to happen. the church becomes God's people...his tribe...his family. And in this context joy, hope, love, mercy, and compassion flow freely and strongly. in the absence of this...striving, resentment, bitterness, passivity, and hopelessness often saturate relationships. and in this atmosphere sin breeds and forms crusts and wounds in our hearts.
pray...and you will find and feel God pull you into his world. and in his world we change and can handle this world 1,000 times better.

the woman at the well [expanded edition]1 comments Posted by david sherwood at 8:49 PM
We listen to stories, because we find ourselves in them.
Everyone walks or rides a road. And sometimes you have to pull over and somebody you ask directions from says, you can't get there from here. You need to know…they're lying.
He goes through a farm road in Samaria. Another place Jesus isn't supposed to be. But Jesus is often where he isn't supposed to be; doing what he isn't supposed to be doing; spending time with people he just isn't supposed to be with. But this is one of the 1st times he does this.
Even the disciples wonder about this as the come up to Jacobs well. A famous place, infamous now. And as Jesus sits down to rest he sends his followers off to get supplies. Amongst those…they despise. Jesus is sneaky like that, teaching them early something they will understand much later.
And so he sits. Exhausted from so many miles through waves upon waves of undulating and scorching heat. He is weary, both from what is behind him as well as from what he knows is unfolding in front of him. His mind is tired of strategy, his heart is tired from the battle yet ahead, and his body aches from the footprints he has left in the sand. He wipes the sweat from his brow, and his hand comes down on the smooth stones of the well. He is alone, more alone than anyone who has ever lived. And he looks down into the well, and feels the cool breeze that comes up from it splash across his face. 100 feet down is an underground river, an unseen river much like his kingdom, rushing with power and life just beneath the desert that surrounds us. But for now in his human form, the river is inaccessible and the God of the universe cannot reach the very water he created. He smiles at the irony. Perhaps this longing in him, will help him understand the great longing in us.
And his irony looks out into the wind tearing desert, and off at a distance he sees a small black dot on the horizon. It bobs back and forth trudging forward resolutely against the driving winds, against the sun, and against exhaustion. And as it comes near him, he knows his Father is brining him someone. And so prays for them, and himself, as the sands of time fall all around him and the stage is set for the sacred to gush forth in the desert of the secular.
She is exhausted. She has come so far, and has so far to go. The rope on her shoulder and the bucket at her waist rub her skin raw; they are usually not just carried by an individual but a group. But she doesn't have that option; she lost that option years ago. She is coming to the well at noon, the hottest hour of the day. The other women come at dusk, a cooling, and comfortable time. But she comes as a displaced daughter of Sychar with a scarlet letter upon her veil. She can take the sun starring at her, but the withering looks and blazing glares of accusation of the other women coupled with the whispering winds of their gossip about her…these she can no longer bear. 5 husbands, 5 weighty stones have come and gone as she has come her alone. And so her shoulder is torn and bloodied by the rope, and the bucket digs into her side. But she has learned to live with pain; it has become her 1 true companion…her bitter BFF. On her other shoulder is the water jar, and as hard as it is to carry it now, it will be worse when it is full. But she trudges on, as we all do from time to time. A survivor, an outcast, forsaken, broken and bruised…but still moving. Relentlessly moving. Running on empty.
And then she sees him at a great distance and her steps stumble and become heavier and harder somehow. Nobody is supposed to be there. She grits her teeth, trying to gather strength for another challenge she isn't up for. She asks God for help, expecting none.
The bucket jostles when she takes a bad step, and it cuts into her ribs. And she thinks about the empty bucket. How alike she is to it. Once she was a bucket full of potential and options…now she is a bucket of emptiness and alleys. And as she walks forward she thinks about all that has gone wrong. She thinks about the wild liquids she has drunk and then drowned in, the great laughter and joy that they first seemed to offer and the hangover and regret they eventually-inevitably brought. She thinks of the empty relationship she is now trapped in. She has gone been passed around the boys. Each looks like an oasis, but in the end she finds herself drinking burning sand. Love has become a mirage to her, and even the man she lives with now offers nothing but a shot-glass of satisfaction. But for one such as her she knows that is all that is left. One there was laughter, then their were tears, and now there is just deadness and a great numbness that has scarred and calloused her heart into stone itself.
And then suddenly she is jostled back awake to her surroundings. The well is right in front of her, just a few yards away. She checks her veil, making sure it is adjusted for a modesty she no longer owns. But the man in front of her shouldn't be here, and after all she knows she needs to be careful around men. So she averts his eyes while studying him from the edges of her view. He too is alone, but he is far more than that…he is hopelessly out of place. He is alone yes; but he is also a Jew [is he lost, they don't come here amongst us "dirty" folk]; he has no bucket or rope for the well which is odd and amusing; and so her fear and weariness slowly drains out and is instead filled with humor and curiosity as he silently sits there watching her as she puts down her water jar…uncoils the rope…and carefully stands on the other side of the well. A safe distance from him, a length she believes no bridge will ever span. He is already unsettlingly close, best to maintain it as best she can.
She throws the bucket into the well, and as she does so he startles her with his words:
Will u give me a drink?
She can only be surprised, while we are shocked and chagrined as the God of the universe approaches one of us and asks for of all things…help.
But she isn't some naïve seeker…she is a battle tested cynic and skeptic. And the sands of sarcasm scorch out with her words in return.
You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?
And her words are full of warnings, condemnations, and perhaps a slight edge of curiosity. Because Jesus in his simple words of asking for a drink is breaking a lot of taboos. Taboos that dam the distance between them.
1. Jews aren't supposed to be here
2. Jews don't talk to Samaritans anywhere
3. A man does not speak directly to a woman that is a stranger
And she wonders, doesn't he know!!! But he does know, and as is so common for Jesus he uses the taboos of the world to build a bridge between himself and others. To rescue those trapped in a well, Jesus knows he will have to take risks and get dirty.
And so he smiles at the sarcasm and the banter…he retorts
If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.
So many things are dripping tantalizingly in these words.
1. What is the gift of God of which he speaks, and is it really available to me? Aren't I disqualified…an outsider…a cast-aside
2. And who is this man that is talking to me, is there perhaps far more to him than has initially been perceived
3. And what is the living water? What is the water that makes life…life again?
Now they finally lock eyes. And as he looks at her he sees the cavernous cistern of brackish misery and parched emptiness that has made her heart and soul hollow and empty. And he knows he alone can fill it.
And as she looks she finds herself unwilling to stop believing that she can throw her bucket into him and finally pull up the water of life that has escaped her for thousands of desert noon's.
Sir…she says respectfully…you have nothing to draw with and the water is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons, his flocks, and his herds?
And he smiles again. She takes the literal path, cautiously sliding around risking her heart and the growing hope that is bubbling up within her. And so she challenges him on several levels.
1. You don't have anything to give, nor the means to give it. At least not to the observations of the naked eye.
2. And who are you…are you greater than our patriarch Jacob? Who do you think you are…who are you…to me?
3. We all so easily Jesus
Jesus uses his arms in a sweeping way as if to an unseen crowd of thousands who are listening…and indeed as the years stretch on billions will come to this story, this well, this Jesus. And he says everyone who drinks of this well will thirst again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
And as she stands there a refugee of failure and burnout, he offers her an internal everlasting oasis of refreshment and regeneration. And he uses big words like NEVER and ETERNAL. Her eyes are now wide open, even as she is overwhelmed with this staggering offer from a man who just a moment ago seemed to have nothing to offer her.
So she rushes headlong into the moment, diving like a bucket into this well of promises and opportunities. Sir! Give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water…she is almost giddy now.
But Jesus is about to stop this conversation on a dime, and turn it far deeper than she has expected. He tells her go call your husband and come back.
she says I have none
Jesus presses in, not to wound her, but to pull up the wound so he can lance it…bleed its poison, dress it, and heal it. And so he says You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had 5 husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband. What you have said is quite true.
The bucket stops on a ledge ½ ways down and lingers almost in mid air.
She speaks back slowly…looking at the ground, ashamed.
She retreats. Sir…she says coolly…I can see you are a prophet. Our fathers worship on this mountain but you Jews claim that the place to worship is Jerusalem.
This dodge Jesus understands. She feels shamed…exposed. But she takes her own situation and tries to duck around it by asking a religious question. A question that she hopes will distance him from her again, because she is mad she allowed herself to be tricked into a moment of intimacy and hope.
So he declares, in the plural to an audience of one. Believe me woman a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you don't know; we Jews worship what we know, for rescue is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming, and has arrived right now when true worshipers will worship the Father is Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father is seeking. God is Spirit and he must be worshiped in spirit and in truth.
While she struggles to take in the enormity of this theological statement, she asks dumbfoundedly a question. A question all the Jews and Samaritans have been asking. A question that is all the more poetic and ironic given she doesn't know who this stranger is.
She says I know that Messiah is coming and that when he comes he will reveal everything to us.
And the smile on Jesus face is now a full grin. His eyes open with wonder, awe, and love for this woman who has waited so long to be filled.
And a hush of silence fills the desert, the winds die down, and a fresh breeze of coolness comes up from the well to splash upon her face.
And he says I who speak to you am he!
The bucket breaks loose and falls to the bottom of the well, and for the 1st time she can remember in several decades…she cries.
This forgotten lonely woman. On the backside of nowhere. Trapped in a loveless survival. This is for whom the God of the universe has come this day. And perhaps for you.
And we, who watch the story, may find ourselves in it from time to time. He states her past, but doesn't crucify her on her sin. He gives no call to repentance but to refreshment. There is no structured plan of salvation, no prayer…ultimately he offers only himself-and what he alone can give her from inside himself to inside of her.
He shows her a true reflection of herself, and she is repulsed…but he is not. He who knows her even deeper than she knows herself is here. Here to be her Lord. Here to be her true love. A love far more secure…and infinitely more satisfying than the mere love of a lover.
So wherever you are at, and if you think you can't get home to God from where you're at. This story reminds you…you can. Or more importantly HE can.

abraham heschel quote of the day0 comments Posted by david sherwood at 2:46 PM
"Religion has declined not because it had been successfully argued against, but because it has become irrelevant, dull, oppressive, uninteresting. When faith is replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crises of today are ignored because of the remembered splendor of the past; when faith becomes an inherited heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority and rules rather than the voice of compassion, its message becomes meaningless."
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

very dynamic
staying fresh as a christian0 comments Posted by david sherwood at 8:17 AM
I am as susceptible to spiritual droughts as the next pastor. Because I know my vulnerabilities, I work hard to keep my passion alive.
Here are a few things I try to revisit:
See God working in another part of the world. God is so much bigger than what we see week in and week out and our churches. visit the operation world website or the blogs of some missionaries. The voice of the martyrs is good as well. Sometimes I also read stories from Butler's book of Saints
Visit an impoverished place / neighborhood and serve at least once a year. Some moms choose what to feed their children. Some moms have to choose which children to feed. Putting yourself in a place that crushes your heart keeps the passion alive. A friend told me once [who worked in the poverty of mexico city] that christians are to live life with [full but broken hearts]
Fasting. I don't know why fasting works, but it does. Fast from something that consumes your time and use that time to feast on God's presence.
Develop friendships with non-Christians. Caring about people far from God helps keep me closer to God. Just to enjoy them and get to know them without pressure. Trust God and enjoy the people he has created. Someday his perfect timing may make room for more.
§Devoted time to prayer. If I don't spend time with my wife away from all the other pressures, it is hard for us to stay close. My relationship with God is the same. If I don't spend time with Him, how can I know Him? Get a copy of Richard Fosters book on prayer or get a copy of the Common book of prayer...or...in a pinch pray some of the Psalms out loud. I go to the park several times a week and pray about all sorts of things; and late at night sometimes just take a prayer-walk around the neighborhood.
Give extravagantly. Something about giving big breaks the grip of this world and connects me closer to God.
Cry hard and Laugh hard. Do some deep breathing. Do some deep CONFESSING and you will cry over your own faults; laugh at your own stupidity; and be able to give empathy and forgiveness to others in MUCH bigger ways.
Visit a cemetery. Seeing today in light of eternity always changes me. Jonathan Edwards [famous old pastor] and his wife used to go to the cemetery once a day on horseback and ride through it in silence. While there they asked God [silently] what they MUST do if today was their last day on earth. Then they shared with each other when they got through. This helps keep a dynamic sense of immediacy alive!

st augustine quote for the day0 comments Posted by david sherwood at 6:53 PM
"O, Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying to ourselves that we are born to eternal life. Amen."

your creativity in our church...sent from a friend0 comments Posted by david sherwood at 6:21 PM
Hey Dave -
This reminded me of something you said a while back about gifts and getting up in front of the congregation. Thought you'd like it.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our
own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others.
~Marianne Williamson

planning mtg tonight [836 stone creek blvd 8pm]0 comments Posted by david sherwood at 2:30 PM
And since we've no place to go [I mean really…in this weather]
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…
Tonight at planning meeting we will enjoy fellowship, creativity, maybe some hot coffee and cocoa…and plan what God has in store for our church family this week. Pray about being there, and what you might contribute to having a service where all our gifts are experienced by our friends and family.
This week we have a fun one…
John 4
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
1The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, 2although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
4Now he had to go through Samaria. 5So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
[What is weird about Samaria?]
7When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?" 8(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
[Is this odd in some way?]
9The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[
10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
[when was the last time you said something like that around the water cooler?]
11"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"
[she takes it pretty literal…as nicodemus did a chapter back]
13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
[what is this like in the Christian experience?]
15The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."
16He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."
[this seems a little odd…like he's selling Amway or something]
17"I have no husband," she replied.
Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband. 18The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."
[yikes…who's been hacking my computer and reading my e-mails?]
19"Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."
[why is she distancing herself with religious arguments and jargon?]
21Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
[what does this mean, and why does it matter….what's he trying to do to her…and me and you?]
25The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
26Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."
john 3: 17-210 comments Posted by david sherwood at 2:27 PM
John 3
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
Relevant reading and verses
Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
Romans 14:3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him.
John 12:47 "As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it.
Colossians 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
James 4:11-13 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
James 5:9 Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
Matthew 18:21-23 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
1.Who do you need to stop CONDEMNING
2.Who do you need to FORGIVE
3.Who do you need to CONFRONT with love
4.Who do you need to forgive 7 times 70
5.Ask God for help!
Johnny eight [modernized redux]
Jesus went to Ashland Ohio. At 10:30am he appeared at 5 stones community church, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
But then things got interrupted. A group barged in suddenly with their own agenda. These were the professors and the fundamentalists who brought in a person caught in the very act of a sexual sin [but it could have been: lying; cheating; stealing; drinking too much; gluttony; gossip and slander; disobeying parents; being judgmental; lazy; addicted to meth; etc you pick the sin].
They made her stand before the church ½ naked wrapped in a bed-sheet and said to Jesus, "preacherman, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. In the Old Testament law Moses commanded us to stone such women to death. Now what do you say?" [uh oh…what's Jesus gonna do?]
They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus just started to write on the whiteboard with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and sneered to them,
"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
Again he wrote on the whiteboard. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said.
"Then neither do I condemn you,"
Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your sin."
And then all the protest signs came down; and the negative petitions; and the slandering blogs-talk-radio-spam stopped being sent. And the crowd that was so focused on holiness finally learned to be truly holy by learning that love, grace, and forgiveness are a part of holiness. And people learned to confront each other with truth THROUGH love instead of accusation, judgment, and abandonment. Or at least that what should have happened….

Studio DEX has transformed several Sugarfish Sushi Bar spots into beautiful contemporary dining environments, and they have done so by incorporating Niche modern restaurant lighting into their spaces. With multiple locations in Los Angeles, Sugarfish boasts a menu of high-quality items that are greatly simplified. Their uncomplicated food philosophy seems to match their design preferences as well. Each spacious interior prominently features our Solitaire pendants in warm glass colors, the perfect complement to their natural interiors. Keep reading to tour 5 Sugarfish eateries featuring our handmade pendants.
1. Calabasas
At the Calabasas restaurant, Solitaire pendants in Smoke glass hang from a sloped wood ceiling above the dining area. Each pendant uses a single junction box, a great method for hanging multiple pendant lights throughout the entirety of a space. Read more about this dazzling lighting installation.
2. Beverly Hills
In Beverly Hills, Niche's Solitaire pendants in Smoke glass hang toward the back of the restaurant and bar. Minimalist and straightforward in its presentation, this classic silhouette fits in seamlessly with this earthy aesthetic.
3. Hollywood
The Hollywood location also features Niche's Solitaire pendant lights in Amber. The honey-colored hue complements the exposed brick and leather upholstery to create warmth and intimacy in the industrial space. Read more about the restaurant's renovation here.
4. Studio City
The Studio City restaurant features our Solitaire pendants in Amber, Chocolate, and Smoke glass. The varying colors and uneven spacing add to the uniqueness of their display. The pendants' warm glow also offers a nice balance to the cool gray and blue tones throughout the interior.
5. La Brea
The La Brea location incorporates our Solitaire pendants a bit differently than the other Sugarfish spots. Over one of their dining tables hangs the Solitaire Modern Chandelier in Smoke, adding an elegant touch to this top-rated eatery.

Shh… I Know It's Gonna Hurt.
"Please stop…"
The words were more of a whispered sob, catching in my throat.
"I need… I need… I … need you to stop.."
I continued trying to lift my head to make eye contact. If he looked into my eyes and saw me, really saw me… he might know.
His mouth attached securely to my nipple. He didn't look as if he was going to let up anytime soon. The burning sensation of his teeth digging into the tender flesh sent shivers through my body. My back arched. I cried out. I felt his fingers roughly push past my panties. Three of them entered me. He let go of my nipple to watch his own assault. I cried out and kicked, scooting myself upwards on the bed and away from him, causing him to loosen the grip his left hand had on my wrists. He grunted as his position was lost. I pushed with my shoulders and tried to roll backwards to get away. The door was 20 feet from us. I could make 20 feet.
"Back, now." He was growling. He was upset. This was day three, day four? I was getting better at telling when he was really angry or just trying to intimidate me. He'd waited, but now he was more anxious.
He reached for me, but I rolled off the bed and hit hard on the floor. I rolled to my back and as soon as I saw him step one leg off the bed, I kicked at him as hard as I could. I clipped him. He howled, cursed, and fell back onto the bed. This was my chance. I rolled over and crawled a few paces, scrambling to my feet before taking off towards the door. He had every lock latched. Just as I was reaching for the handle to fling open the door – I felt the weight of his body crush me from behind with a loud grunt. I felt all the air in my body leave me. The smell of him bombarded my nostrils as I sucked in and prepared myself to be thrown back on the bed. Unfortunately, he decided he liked the position. I heard his zipper release.
"I'll kill you."
I began to really cry.
His hand encircled the back of my neck and pinned me against the door. I felt his cock hard against my ass. I was panicking. I began to scream and beat on the door with my hands. His hand wrapped around my mouth and nose, cutting off my ability to breathe. I became still and quiet, very quickly. His chuckle was dark. He moved me over to a chair and bent me over, letting me have my air as his hands trailed over my back, to my ass. I sucked in and coughed, gasping and sobbing as he spread my legs farther apart and began pressing himself against me, trying to get in. I threw my head back and pleaded with him.
"Please! No!"
"It's mine. I'll do as I please, pet."
I thought I screamed as he entered my ass, but there was no sound, just a horrified gasp. I was holding my breath. I had done this before, but never so violently. Never like this.
"Take it, girl"
His voice was so gruff, and his hands held tightly to my hips, slamming me back onto his awaiting cock. I felt myself get wet instantly, yet the pain in my ass was almost unbearable.
'Please… it… hurts!'
"Shhh…. I know… It's gonna hurt."

Financing Consumption in an Aging Japan: The Role of Foreign Capital Inflows in Immigration
NBER Working Paper No. 10781
We project the impact of demographic change on Japanese capital flows by simulating the impact of population aging on Japanese saving and investment rates. As aging depresses saving rates, in our baseline projections, we show that by 2015, foreign capital inflows will comprise about 15 percent of Japanese output. A distinguishing feature of this paper is that we compare the capital flows that occur without immigration to the capital inflows that would occur with immigration of 400,000 people annually. With the larger labor force from immigration and the larger induced capital accumulation, output will be 22 percent higher by 2020, and 50 percent higher by 2040. The higher output means that less capital needs to be imported; by 2015, Japan will be importing only 8 percent of its output.
