Penny's Color My World Box & Album
By Magda Cortez
"Hello All… Today I'm going to share a little box I made to keep all my paper dolls!!
Yes!!! Penny's Paper Doll Family is here!! I'm in love with this paper, and it is so much fun to use this collection.
I made the little box to keep a mini album where I can keep all my dolls in place.
This is an easy mini album and here is the tutorial where I show you how I did this project. I hope you like it!
Tip: Use repositionable tape if you have plans to play with the dolls.
Tip: You can keep a pair of fussy cutting scissors or some color pencils in the little box to have on hand and ready to play!
This time I also used the coloring page. We can personalize the dolls. Isn't beautiful? I use my coloring pens. I'm not good at coloring, but I have so much fun.
Penny's Paper Doll Family Collection is so versatile. Those colors are beautiful, and, at the same time, we can have so much fun playing with all the paper dolls. I hope you enjoy the tutorial.
Have a wonderful day!

It is such a wonderful thing to share with anyone but most especially a grandchild.

Loving the sweet memories that this paper kit brings back. I used to play paper dolls with my grandma all the time. Sometimes the tabs on the clothes would get so worn that they would tear and we would have to tape them back on the outfit. Bittersweet tears of a time that seems so long ago.

Just A Pretty Face
by Wendy Darling (Wiebke)
Story Notes
This story was written as part of a round-robin several years ago. The concept was that there was a har named Alessi circulating a blank book around Fallsend so different hara could write out their life stories and/or spill their darkest secrets into it. The project lost steam but my two segments form a complete story, so I thought I'd might as well share it. I forgot to post it to my own fanfic site.
Summary: A har at rock bottom, given up on life after abuse by Varrs, is selling his body in Fallsend when a chance encounter changes everything.
Characters: Original Characters
Ratings & Warnings: R, for adult harrish content; angst; mention of physical, sexual abuse.
Spoilers: Fulfilments… but before Cal reached Immanion and Fallsend presumedly became a nicer place.
Note: I don't know if the kind of procedure mentioned in this story is anatomically possible, but that was what I was thinking at the time. Just suspend your disbelief 🙂

Part 1
I have a pretty face but a pretty face can't get you everything you want, especially if that's all you have. Don't think I'm saying I'm stupid, some empty-headed bauble. I'm not. I'm saying I have a pretty face. And that's all. Everything else has been taken from me.
Originally I come from the Froia tribe, though that life is far behind me, locked in a room far away in a place I will never find again. I exist now and dreams alone are all that can really bring me back. I could never make it there now and even if I could, I wouldn't want to. I couldn't face it. Not anymore.
Because I am Froia and people know that, they do not question my long robes with their long sleeves and hem down to my feet. They don't question the gloves I wear on my hands or my high collar. To them I am only a strange shy creature, beaten down like many of here in Fallsend.
Other hara do not ask me questions, just as I ask none of them. Although it is painful for me that they do not know the truth, I know in my heart that the truth would be even worse.
I don't want to face the truth, but in this book, writing for Allessi, I will do it. I am not speaking to any particular har, but to all hara, and it makes me think that for one moment I can drop away my robes and show myself for what I am – a pretty face and something more, or nothing more, depending.
If I lifted up the hem of my robe you would see it on my legs. If I pulled up my sleeves you would see it. If I untied my belt you would see it on my chest, my back, every part of me, except my face, such a pretty face.

Once again, it's been a long time since I did an update…
Since last time, I have had the sixth round of maintenance meaning that I am half way through the two year course. As usual, I had no problems with the treatment, but there were some new faces at the hospital as some staff have either been promoted or moved to different areas on secondment. I had a good chat with my consultant about things in general and he did an examination to see that things are as they should be.
The Rituximab maintenance adds, in theory, between 24 and 30 months to the remission period following the first round of treatment. Add to that the 2 – 3 years that is the typical remission (without the maintenance) and that adds up to a useful period of time. Anything up to 5 years until the next round. That sounds great until you realise that I have already had one of them… The fact that the maintenance takes two years and adds about two years to the remission is entirely coincidental.
Last week I attended a NICE committee meeting. This is the body that considers whether certain treatments should or should not be provided by the NHS. I was asked to attend by the Lymphoma Association as a "patient expert" and I was happy top do so. About 2 weeks prior to the meeting, I was couriered a copy of the "Highly Confidential" supporting paperwork – all 1,000 pages of it.
The meeting was a real eye-opener. Firstly, there were about thirty people in the committee – all Drs or Professors or something similar. It must have cost a fortune to have these people there all day. Secondly, and I had been previously warned about this, the committee is there to consider whether treatments or drugs are "value for money". In this case, the patient's life is the value and the tax-payers provide the money. It's quite sobering to read a paper where lives are reduced to a monetary value and the criteria for approval include such concepts as "Quality Adjusted Life Years". So, it's not just about how much longer a patient might live, but also the quality of their life. Which is fair enough – there's no point in being kept alive if the quality of life is rubbish. Is there?
There was another patient expert with me at the meeting who took a completely different view on the proceedings from me. She didn't read the paperwork and, despite having the same form of NHL that I do, and having only one round of chemo, she is both convinced that she is cured forever and will not need any further treatment, but also that the chemo she received cured her of all sorts of other complaints. Good for her – she was very happy and positive about the whole thing. Together, we made our contributions to the debate, which was basically to consider whether Rituximab should be used as an adjunct to all suitable chemo treatments, not just the two or three that it is currently licenced for. The answer seems obvious – to me – but what do I know?
B is on the last leg of her round the world trip. She is now in Boston, so we have been giving her some tips on where to go, including taking the ferry to Provincetown. She would really like it there. The ferry or train to Salem would be a good half-day out too. Then, she's back to New York for her final week and then home. She's had a few days in New York already, having decided not to go all the way down south to Nashville, and she's really looking forward to spending a few more days there. It sounds so good, we have decided to follow her next March if we can. It will be good to have her home; she's been away a long time.
Now, it's time to start getting excited about Palermo. Only a couple of months away… These years go so fast now.
The journalist mentioned last month hasn't called, so it sounds like that has died a death. I've decided that maybe he's not impartial enough, if he's actually working for the drug company, so I will decline to be interviewed if or when he does call.

Welcome back to the Sunday Mass notes. This week in the first two readings we find some very important insights into the nature of God. This then helps us to come to a proper understanding of the Gospel lesson.
Last week we looked at the Gospel of Luke and gave some insights into what it meant to carry our cross for Jesus. We mentioned that God says, "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:30). One aspect of what Jesus meant when he said in this context to "keep his commandments" is related to the First Commandment. This can be found Exodus 20 which says, "You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them . . ." (Exodus 20:3-5a). God through his great love and foreknowledge cautions us regarding the risks in even creating an image of a spiritual nature because this could lead us to attribute special powers to that purely physical object. This is exactly what we will see in the first reading when during the time that Moses was up on the mountain receiving the Law from God the people built a golden calf idol to worship.
Introduction to the First Reading:
This reading is from Exodus and the context is during that 40 days that Moses spent on the mountain when God was giving him the Law. Since Moses was gone for such a long time the people returned to their former pagan worship practices that they had learned during their last four centuries in Egypt.
First Reading:
Exodus 32:7-14 NAS95 7 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, "Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. 8 They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. They have made for themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it and have sacrificed to it and said, 'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!'" 9 The LORD said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, they are an obstinate people. 10 Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you a great nation." 11 Then Moses entreated the LORD his God, and said, "O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people whom You have brought out from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, 'With evil intent He brought them out to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth'? Turn from Your burning anger and change Your mind about doing harm to Your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.'" 14 So the LORD changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people.
In the introduction we mentioned how the First Commandment comes into view with the people building a molten calf and worshiping it. From my study of archeology, it is very possible that this was what was known as a "pedestal god" which featured a platform on the top of the icon onto which the god supposedly alighted. Giving them the benefit of a doubt along this line of thinking it's at least possible that their motives were to worship the true God Yahweh. However, we learn from the reading that God knew otherwise for He said the people have "quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them" (v. 8). Regardless of the people's motives their actions were a clear violation of the Commandment previously given to them. God's response was to ask Moses to move away so that "My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them" (v. 10). But Moses pleaded with the Lord on the basis of His special covenantal relationship with them and He relented. The people were those "whom You have brought out from the land of Egypt" and the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to whom God "swore by [Him]self [saying], "I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever" (vv. 11b, 13).
Moses' plea for mercy, brought about because of the people's violation of the First Commandment, gives us some insight into the nature of God. Moses reminded God of what he did for the Hebrews by bringing them out of Egypt. He asked God to remember his faithful servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, then recounted God's promise to make them a people as "numerous as the starts in the sky" and to give them the Promised Land. God's dialogue with Moses showed that the Father is longsuffering (patient), forgiving of sin, and will never forget his promises (mark this for later in the study). God cannot act against His nature.
The purpose of Moses' reminder wasn't of course for God, but for us! Moses' insights about the nature of God help us to understand our Father God and this understanding guides us in interpreting the rest of the Scripture. The Apostle Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 regarding the church there, "and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come " (emphasis added). God forgives our sin and placates His wrath only through what Jesus did for us in dying for our trespasses. Our sins are many and include our worship of contemporary idols like money, sports, and etc. Perhaps we don't fall down before a golden calf but we do fall down when circumstances arise in our finances or our health.
Introduction to the Second Reading:
The second reading is from Paul's First Letter to Timothy. The context is just after Paul's mention of the dangerous teaching of the false teachers who had made inroads in the church. Paul said, "As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines, nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith" (1 Timothy 1:3-4).
Second Reading:
1 Timothy 1:12-17 NAS95 12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. 16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Saint Paul said in the reading, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I was the foremost. But for that reason I was mercifully treated" (emphasis added). Then, "so that in me, as the foremost [of sinners], Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example for those who would come to believe in Him for everlasting life" (emphasis added). We can see in the reading wo insights into the nature of God. God is merciful. God saves sinners, even the worst of them – as Paul expressed about himself. Why did Paul think that he was the worst of sinners? This was because he persecuted believers in the church to the point of death until his conversion. He understood God's mercy. Finally, God is patient. He goes to great lengths to deliver people from the consequences of their sin.
In the Gospel reading we will see these attributes of God beautifully illustrated, with His patience and mercy displayed through three parables.
Introduction to the Gospel Reading:
The Gospel for today consists of three parables, the parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son (prodigal son). Our emphasis today will be on the last one although one can easily see that the three parables share a common theme. Remember that all three parables in this section were addressed to the Pharisees, the group that we saw this past two Sundays. The Pharisees were a group of Jews that held to a strict interpretation of the Law of Moses. They were legalistic, false teachers who more concerned with outside appearances than with having a heart for pleasing God through faith. They loved money more than they love people (Luke 16:4).
Gospel Reading:
Luke 15:1-32 NAS95 1 Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him. 2 Both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." 3 So He told them this parable, saying, 4 "What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' 7 I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 8 Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!' 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." 11 And He said, "A man had two sons. 12 The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.' So he divided his wealth between them. 13 And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living. 14 Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to be impoverished. 15 So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him. 17 But when he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger! 18 'I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight; 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men.' 20 So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' 22 But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; 23 and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; 24 for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate. 25 Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be. 27 And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.' 28 But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him. 29 But he answered and said to his father, 'Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends; 30 but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.' 31 And he said to him, 'Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 'But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.'"
The first two parables concern the celebration that occurs when something that is lost is found. The meaning of these parables is the same and is revealed in verse 7. "[T]here will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." Human souls are of tremendous value and all are born into a lost state of sinfulness at birth (Romans 3:23). It is only when souls are "found" by being "born from above" (John 3:3) that they are then transferred into the kingdom of God. Paul said about this, "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:13-14).
The third parable of the prodigal son begins with the younger son approaching his father and asking for his inheritance while his father was still alive. Though he was the younger son he could still could plan on receiving some inheritance but not as much as the firstborn son, and then only after his father died. So we could say that in some way when he asked his father for his inheritance he was wishing that he was already dead. The fact that his father went ahead and gave him the reward shows the father's great generosity. Then his father let his son go off and "find himself" through wild living in a strange nation, evidently not a Jewish nation because they raised pigs. The father's act of letting his son go shows that the father also allows freedom to his son. Soon enough the son had squandered all of his money and became a slave by "hiring himself out." In today's terms we would call this an indentured servant, but the New Testament would use the term "slave." After squandering his money as a slave to sin the prodigal son became a slave on a hog farm. Even the touching of a hog would have been forbidden back in his home city under Jewish Law. Then the son reached a turning point, something that is known by the theological term "repentance." Since he was already a slave and wasn't being treated even with the basic necessity of food he figured that he would return to his father and become a slave for him so that at least he would have enough to eat. Also he knew the character of his father and that he could trust him as he worked there in contrast to the swine farm owner who didn't even provide him with any food. So the son began his return to his father and this opened the next chapter of the story.
When the son returned his father saw him in the distance and embraced him. But the son evidently had been rehearsing what he was going to say and quickly offered his heartfelt confession. Certainly the father heard this but went on with the festivities of welcoming home his lost son. Just like in the other parable the lost sheep was found, the lost coin was located and this was cause for celebration! In the midst of the festivities a wrinkle developed when the older son heard the commotion. This elder one expressed deep resentment for his younger brother, and told his father that he had always done the right thing. It seemed unfair to him that his brother should receive a party for returning after blowing his inheritance while he had diligently sacrificed all of these years. The father's reply sheds light on the depth of God's love, mercy, and patience. "My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found."
The key players in the parable are obvious only to a person whose heart has been enlightened to the truths of God. The father is God the Father. Earlier in the study we found that the Father is longsuffering (patient), forgiving of sin, and will never forget his promises (to care for his family). The older son represents the Pharisees. The Pharisee like son didn't trust God's heart and instead saw God as miserly and not generous. The older son missed out on relationship with God yet he was living under the umbrella of His provision. This eldest son believed he was righteous through his good works and sacrifice. As a result of all of his false beliefs he built a heart of resentment and entitlement against his father as well as his younger brother. The youngest son represents a believer in Jesus Christ who trusts in the provision of his Father. He, like all true believers before and after him, express a heart of brokenness, desperation for God and humility.
The big idea in this parable is God is a lavishly forgiving God who goes to great lengths to save people. God gives people freedom to make mistakes but continues to reach out with his grace ready to bring repentant people back to his kingdom. In contrast the Pharisees have self-righteousness at the root of their beliefs. This leads to legalism in which they focus upon the letter of the law but not on the spirit of the law, thus missing relationship with the father. Legalism looks at outward standards of behavior without addressing the heart's motivation. Jesus warns that we can have all of the right religious terminology without the right heart attitude towards him when he said in Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
Which son are you more like? Where have you placed your faith? Have you stopped depending upon your own righteousness and confessed your need to the Father of His mercy? Or do you identify with the older brother, the Pharisee, who always did everything "right" in this life and yet distanced himself from needing the mercy of the Father? Saint John said in 1 John 5:13, "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." If you are in the former category praise God for what He has done for you. If you are not sure then reach out to God for He is a longsuffering God, patient, wishes that none would perish but all would come to the knowledge of the truth. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Reflection Questions
- This week's readings from the Bible highlighted God's heart of mercy, patience and forgiveness. How have you experienced these attributes in your own relationship with God?
- Do you have a prodigal son in your family or know of one among your friends or relatives? Is their story one of redemption or are they still working as a slave for a pig farmer as in the Gospel lesson today? What can you learn from this prodigal person?

Serid I have to admit maintained a good apearance of confidence and control when the event happened.
He did, but it was mainly so more wouldn't worry. plus him freaking out would have helped absolutely nothing about the situation only than to make Kinar feel worse.
Yeah he did, but now his worry face is starting to show though his wall of confidence. And if I was Serid I would say,
"It's pretty obvious isn't it", at that moment.
I hate to be a grammar nazi, but "your" in the last panel should be "you're". Anyways, I'm excited as always to see were this comic is going. Oh, and Happy belated New Year! May it be a prosperous and happy year for you.
Thier, there, they're! No need to get al bent out off shape 'bout it.
Will you be having characters in their feral forms as bookmarks? I would be interested in seeing a Serid or a Shai.
Or dragons!
Happy belated New Year, and as always, good job!
Hey it's alright, we all work in our sleep from time to time.....Hell I drive a Truck for a living and some of the Best sleep I get is behind the wheel! "0.0"
I'm guessing somebody's in trouble. This sounds like Kinar might be up to something bad.
I am a big fan of this webcomic and wish I had the funding to support it. All I can offer tho is 1 remark on the last panel. I believe its supposed to be you're as in you are.Not your as in ownership.
so I do apologize and I say keep up the great work
U going to show the results of the votes for the donation pic next week?
How long does it take for someone to turn to a Worgen after they have been bitten and what variables are there to slow/speed up the process?
Much appreciated if anyone answers. :)
You didn't think of that did you?
going by the WoW starting area it was about a day give or take a few hours. as for speeding it up or slowing it down, no mention was ever made that i'm aware of. going by the comic, don't remember the exact name of it, (4 issue mini) having a strong will can delay the transformation.
hi. I love to see them get back together again. if i can get 150 dollars i buy the lot how long do i have i love to by them all. I hope your well. I hope your christmas and new year went well. i not been well. i dont think my comic will turn up. but i dont think it fair for you to post another with out me paying. I wish you all the best sorry again if i fall short of the 150 be safe god bless.
it seems to me that people are being meen to you or it looks like it to me. have people been givening you a hard time if you need a chart you can find me on fa. I am always kean to help others. be safe god bless. danny.
Must not feed the trolls, (pulls out sword) im up for a game of "who can kill the most trolls"
Ps. Love your work :)
Trolls can actually be taken as a "good" sign.
Generally the larger the audience becomes, the more trolls you get.
god this is a awesome comic its highly addictive to read dude i love your work and please keep making this comic
Serid is freaking out because of the bite, correct? And from what I remember, is that Druids are far more likely to contract the Worgen Curse, due to it's origination in the Emerald Dream. Given he's a druid, he has a far higher chance of contracting. But we don't know if Kinar's "Cure" only made her temporarily Feral, and unable to pass the curse, or if it was just Krennan Aranas' Potion that gave them sanity, temporarily.
I'm not sure if it is stated in-game that the potion is only temporary. It took a ceremony performed by priests (and priestesses) of Elune...in which the player drank from three fonts of blessed water...to not only give the player permanent control over their feral nature, but also the ability to re-assume their normal human form. Though it isn't stated outright, I suspect that use of the `Scythe of Elune' was involved in preparation for the ceremony, since the player was involved in recovering that artifact just prior to undergoing the rite.
The pertinent question would be; did Kinar ever undergo this ceremony? If she had, then it is unlikely that she can pass on the curse, since the consensus of most `lore nerds' is that Worgen are unable to curse others after doing so. If I remember correctly, the only option of the two depicted in this comic was the application of the potion.
Well, Aranas in the Worgen Starting Zone said that the potion he gave to the Player Character was enough to kill a horse. Also, later on in the starting zone, around the time of the "Ritual" involving the Wells, Crowley said that Krennan's potion would wear off soon.
we also don't know 100% if the curse can be spread to other races...in World of Warcraft there haven't been any reports of horde races turning into Worgen after being bitten. It also doesn't really specify if only "uncured" worgen can infect you. I think the only difference between treated and untreated is the control they have over themselves...

I'm in Latvia, and I try to stay connected to my family while I'm on the road. Recently, my 5 year old, Harold, has taken to texting using Kat's phone. In person, Harold likes to tell me about video games and YouTube clips and his own iterations of other creative properties (he's invented Super Stick Man Harold, who is part of Super Stick Man Mario Brothers). On text, Harold is telling me about his day. He's doing it his way. He likes to emote via text. It's not "yes." It's "Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So when we're on Text, I give him lots of yes and no questions. When we're in person, I ask him details about Super Stick Man Harold Kart Racing, or whatever else he's creating.
I talk to him in his language and using his medium. It takes longer sometimes. It's always more rewarding, though. How he texts is hilarious, complete with grown up emotions thrown in (probably related to things he's seen in YouTube videos), and how he draws and talks about his imaginary worlds is inspiring.
Would you give that same kind of opportunity to connect if it were your customer? Do you talk in their language, on their device of choice and about the topics that interest them?
Most of us don't, do we?

For the past two collections – Gender Studies SS18 and Home Economics AW18 – we explored the condition of the female force in South Africa. We are constantly surrounded by women, and on a personal level, the trait I have always found most admirable is their powerful ability to possess both Strength and Vulnerability; traits I feel blessed to have been exposed to with the matriarchal figures who raised me and traits which are monumental in anyone hoping contribute positively to the bigger human condition.
For this lookbook, shot on sculpted scarecrows, the two collections come together to form a personal short story: an ode to women. In some of the images, you will see a raging fire taking place; a crop burning we found quite poetic. Some dresses are pretty, some are challenging. Some coats are functional, some are torn in half. I also wanted to create a dialogue about how beauty operates on a very subjective spectrum, which doesn't have a wrong or right side.

The tarsal tunnel is located in the back curve of your ankle; it runs behind the prominent bump on the inside of your ankle. Tarsal tunnel syndrome happens if the tibial nerve that runs through that tarsal tunnel gets compressed. The compression can lead to pain, burning, or tingling sensations in the ankle and radiating through the foot from the ankle up to the toes.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS for short) can be caused by an injury, a disease, or a condition. Some possible causes are a sprained ankle that causes swelling which leads to the pressure, arthritis and diabetes can also cause the same swelling as well. If you have flat feet, that might be a cause of TTS, for some individuals just being on their feet for extended periods of time on a regular basis could result the this condition. If you think you might have tarsal tunnel syndrome, don't delay treatment as it could worsen with time or lead to other serious foot problems. Our Lake Worth podiatrists, as well as our podiatrists at our other locations, will provide a diagnosis and discuss a comprehensive treatment plan for TTS with you. Call 561-793-6170 to schedule an appointment today or request an appointment online.
What is Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?
The tarsal tunnel runs along the inner side of the ankle just behind the medial malleolus (the bump on your ankle). The tibial nerve is one of the nerves that are located inside the tarsal tunnel. The syndrome occurs as a result of the pressure that is put on the nerves in your ankle. The result is one or more of the following symptoms: pain, burning, tingling, numbness. These symptoms are usually localized in the ankle, but they can radiate from the ankle through the foot and up to the toes. Pressure is the main cause of tarsal tunnel syndrome, however, the compression can be caused by swelling from an ankle sprain, arthritis, or diabetes, or it can be a result from the shape of your foot and how you stand. In some cases, if you are on your feet all the time, that can cause tarsal tunnel syndrome too.
Symptoms of Tarsal TunnelSyndrome
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is associated with pain, burning, tingling, and electrical sensations that center in and around the ankle but can radiate through your foot. Patients often complain of numbness in the foot all the way through to the big toe. Pain usually is said to worsen throughout the day with activity but relaxes with rest, elevation, and massage.
Treatments for Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
As always, our podiatrists start out with a conservative and non-invasive treatment course of action to relieve tarsal tunnel syndrome symptoms and pain before recommending surgery. Treatment options start out first with rest, icing, elevation, and massage. The next steps for TTS treatment include strengthening exercises, and anti-inflammatory medications. In some treatment cases, we might also recommend casting, compression hose, comfort and support padding, and/or custom orthotics.
Diagnosing Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
What should you expect when visiting the South Florida Foot & Ankle Centers for treatment for tarsal tunnel syndrome? Our doctors understand that active individuals do not like being sidelined and we do everything possible to reduce your pain and safely get you back to the activities you love doing. If your foot pain does not subside after icing and rest, you should come in to see one of our podiatrists so that they can develop a plan of care to get you back on your feet. Diagnosing tarsal tunnel syndrome might involve examining the anatomy of your foot and evaluating your foot wear, taking X-rays and administering a special test to see if there is any nerve damage. The South Florida Foot & Ankle Centers doctors' have a great deal of clinical experience and expertise in treating conditions of the feet. Our podiatrists specialize in making you feel comfortable by involving you in the treatment plan and explaining all of the available options to you.
The podiatrists at South Florida Foot & Ankle Centers have extensive training and clinical experience when it comes to evaluating, diagnosing patients and providing treatment for tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Do these symptoms sound familiar? Contact South Florida Foot & Ankle Centers today for a comprehensive examination and treatment for tarsal tunnel syndrome.

LCM Digital: An Innovative Platform For Digital Schedule And Process Planning
In cooperation with Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), the largest building contractor in the Middle East, Drees & Sommer is developing a new platform for efficient construction-processes – LCM Digital. The tool is based on the lean construction management method, which is abbreviated as LCM®. The online production planning tool allows an exchange of information in realtime, daily progress checks on the building site and a high degree of collaboration, from the planners through to the construction workers. Another feature is that LCM Digital can be linked to building information modeling (BIM) and supply chain management systems.
'Combining lean construction management and building information modeling on a single platform is unique. LCM Digital even more closely links virtual and real building sites. It harnesses the full potential of BIM and LCM. This leads to highly transparent, up-to-date and efficient procedures, and it speeds up processes by as much as 25 percent, which enormously benefits principals, architects, planners, contractors and other project participants,' says Patrick Theis, Partner at Drees & Sommer SE and Managing Director with responsibility for the new platform.
As far as schedule and process planning are concerned, manually compiled plans and conventional project sequences are still common in many real estate and construction companies. However, the constant progress of digitization and the growing complexity of construction projects require new and efficient solutions. In the future, the innovative platform LCM Digital will bring improvements. As the next step in the development of classical schedule and process planning methods, LCM Digital significantly reduces the complexity of processes and the organization of a construction project.
By using LCM Digital, the project participants can share all of their information about planned or changed deadlines, building site processes and possible obstacles in real time, and they can also view each other's information without delay. This will enable them to react flexibly to short-term changes and to make up-to-date decisions. On the basis of the schedule plans that have been prepared, they will be able to coordinate and control their activities for the next few days and months online. Plan cards with work packages for each team and each day can also be printed to ensure joint interaction between teams on the building site. By using a QR code and the LCM Digital app, the status can then be input into the system again. This means that LCM Digital can be used both online and offline with a smartphone, tablet or computer. The innovative platform thus acts as an interface between human experience and digital data, and on its own it can deduce standard processes, identify inter-dependent elements and indicate the next steps in the process and any possible risks and planning mistakes. This leads to genuine online collaboration, more effective meetings, and stable and transparent deadlines and processes.
As a project management and consulting company, Drees & Sommer has worked with lean construction management for over ten years and successfully implemented more than 350 LCM projects. At the same time, Drees & Sommer has substantial expertise and numerous references in building information modeling. With LCM Digital, the company brings together all of this experience and enhances planning and implementation processes in construction projects, irrespective of size and complexity. The cloud-based platform will be available for interested parties from November 2018.

High School Education Alternatives
Fremont Unified School District recognizes the need to offer more than one path to earning a high school diploma. Student needs vary, so it is necessary that our school district, as well as the State of California, are responsive with a number of alternatives.
Robertson Alternative High School
Robertson High School is located in the Irvington area and our district offers transportation to and from all of the high schools to Robertson each school day. The school day at Robertson is shorter and students are placed in smaller classes with a more individualized learning setting. Robertson uses a trimester schedule which affords students the opportunity to earn more credit during the school year and the school has the flexibility to award credit as they complete coursework. Given that the school day ends earlier, they can also attend Fremont Adult School classes in the afternoon, based on availability, to earn additional credits. Robertson students can take ROP classes as well. Graduates from Robertson need to earn 200 units rather than the 230 units required at the comprehensive high schools like Washington. (For most classes, students earn 5 units for every class completed with a passing grade.)
Vista Independent Study High School
Vista High School is an independent study program; not a remedial program. Students do not receive direct instruction; instead, students meet with a teacher once a week for two hours to take tests and receive new assignments. Students must have the intellectual capability to read and understand District text books. Students who say they hate to read and hate to do homework will not be successful at Vista. Students must be disciplined, organized and capable of working independently. A supportive and proper study environment is essential and students must commit a minimum of 25 hours toward school work each week. Parents are expected to check the student's school work to insure that it is complete before the student comes to Vista for their weekly appointment, as well as ensure that transportation is available. Attendance is based on completed assignments. If a student misses an appointment or comes to an appointment with little or no work completed, s/he has missed the equivalent of one week of school. Students who are not successful in the Vista program are sent to Robertson or back to their home school. Vista requires 200 units to graduate.
Center for Independent Learning (COIL)
COIL's mission: Our "circle of learning" - student, parent and advisory teacher - works together to develop a personalized plan that best enables the student to discover his or her unique learning style and mature into an independent, lifelong learner. Within this approach, students are provided with opportunities to grow through a variety of classes, activities, and field trips. The student's parent becomes their teacher with the support of the COIL staff; this school uses the homeschooling model.
Fremont Adult School
With permission from the District Office and Fremont Adult School, students may enroll in Fremont Adult School as full time students when they are 17 1/2 years of age. Counselors are involved in advising and discussing this option and helping the student in this transition in cases where a diploma from the comprehensive high school may be out of reach. Students can elect to pursue a high school diploma at the adult school or they may choose to work toward passing the General Education Development (GED) test. Individualized computer based programs assist students in preparation for the GED test.
California High School Proficiency Test
With parent permission, students who are at least 16 years of age or have completed the tenth grade have the option of taking this test for a fee. The test is given several times each year. Students must pass both the English and Math sections in order to legally leave high school and are then able to enroll at California Community Colleges, which they are encouraged to do. Some kind of post secondary education is strongly advised.
More information about the California High School Proficiency Test can be found at their website: chspe.net

Given the snippet of Eminem's song "Berzerk" that has been leaked, former Shady/Aftermath Entertainment act Stat Quo says he has an idea of the vibe of the Detroit rapper's forthcoming The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which is slated for a November 5 release.
"Based on that song, they basically went towards the whole Beastie Boys feel with the beat," Stat Quo says during an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. "A lot of the rap right now is not in direction, where it's very hard and shit with guitars. I think Em probably went that way because his typical style is that if everybody's going right, he's gonna go left. I definitely feel like it's going to follow that Beastie Boys motif. I think it's going to feel like a Beastie Boys record."
Stat Quo says that regardless of what the music sounds like, the fact that Eminem is working on new material with Dr. Dre and former Beastie Boys producer Rick Rubin that will actually be released is noteworthy.
"I think that it's significant that it's even coming out," Stat Quo says of forthcoming The Marshall Mathers LP 2. "Dr. Dre is so hard to please and I'm sure Rick Rubin is not easy, either, so that's a big deal. But you're talking about one of the greatest rappers ever, so I'm sure it's gotta be crazy."
Working on completing his own ATLA project, an acronym for "All This Life Allows," Stat Quo says that he's interested to hear the follow-up to Eminem's second major label album given the magnitude of its predecessor. Released in 2000, The Marshall Mathers LP included the singles "The Real Slim Shady," "The Way I Am" and "Stan."
"Even though I've put out four Underground Atlanta [mixtapes], I'm never really big on people doing part twos of classics," says Stat Quo, who is no longer signed to Shady/Aftermath but still works with several of their artists in a variety of capacities. "But if you want to look at the track record, Dre did a [The] Chronic and then a Chronic 2 [2001] and both of them were incredible, so let's hope they duplicated that feat. I don't put anything past Eminem. I believe he's one of the best to ever do it, if not the best."

The prophetic voice is audible in René Girard when he calls attention to the 'scapegoat mechanism'. By that term he means the phenomenon that one man is sacrificed as atonement for uncontrolled rivalries within a collective.
Girard sees this as follows. Rivalry within a collective begins with mimesis: the tendency of people to copy each other's behavior. In fact, this involves jealousy because people want to be or possess what other people are or possess. We, twenty-first century people, recognize this rivalry as a good capitalist principle, but according to Girard the phenomenon is as old as mankind.
The mimetic rivalry leads to a certain dynamism which runs through different stages. The first step is the struggle of all against all, for example within a city community. If that fight gets uncontrollably violent, the second step can be put in operation: the struggle of all against all becomes a struggle of all against one. This one is physically victimized – which usually means: killed – and that event will bring the peace back into the city. By this beneficial effect the victim will soon get deified and worshipped as a refuge and patron saint of the citizens.
But in order to maintain the calm for a longer period, ongoing victimization is necessary, and in the satisfaction of that long-term need the original victim appears to play a role again. Although the victim is already dead and canonized, she or he may very well be victimized again, only now in a symbolic way. That satisfies the need, and consequently that's going to be repeated every year. The sacrificial rituals that go with it have a conciliatory and soothing effect on the urban population.
Now, the merit of the Hebrew prophets - and in their wake of Jesus - according to Girard, is that they oppose this sacrality which is so close to violence. They criticize the sacrificial rituals and proclaim that eventually our actions should be focused on individual and collective justice and nothing else.
At this point Goodhart sees Girard and Levinas meet one another. After all, Levinas draws inspiration from the prophets as well and especially from their belief that nothing, no sacrifices but also no institutions or prevailing morality, can be a substitution for one's personal responsibility. At most, Levinas goes further than Girard, Goodhart says, when he says that one is not only responsible for one's own actions, but also for those of others.
You could emphasize that the latter idea marks an important difference between Girard and Levinas. Indeed Levinas, when understood that way, arrives at a new type of victimization – namely that of the substituter of the Other – while Girard wants to get rid of the notion of victimhood altogether.
I personally would rather not attach too much importance to the victimish substitution in Levinas. And then Girard and Levinas stand close to each other in their shared dislike of ritual sacrality.

Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
The Westside's art scene continues to offer plenty of interesting shows, with new galleries cropping up at regular intervals. However, this contemporary art gallery is the most prestigious of the lot. Housed in a former trolley stop on the LA-Santa Monica red line, the Santa Monica Museum of Art (SMMoA) attracts sizable crowds to its openings, which herald lively temporary exhibitions by local and international artists. The only kunsthalle (non-collecting museum) in Southern California, SMMoA presents exhibitions and programs that reveal the vibrant, untold stories and pivotal moments in the history of contemporary art and culture. The institution and its longstanding executive director Elsa Longhauser are beloved by LA's veteran artists. Keep an eye out for sporadic special events (lectures, discussions, family-oriented days and the like) that accompany the shows. And don't miss the annual Incognito fundraiser auction: Place the winning bid on your favorite anonymously-created work of art and discover whether you've picked a Baldessari or a budding newbie.

The Revoderm Hair Regrowth System is based on Red Clover extract and Acetyl-tetrapeptide-3. Biochanin A is the active component within Red Cover extract. It is a very potent and natural inhibitor of 5 reductase (both type I and type II), one of the main biochemical abnormalities of nonscarring hair loss. Acetyl-tetrapeptide-3 is a small peptide complex that upregulates extracellular matrix proteins and thus fragile hair shafts are more readily anchored to the scalp and are less shed prone. Acetyl-tetrapeptide-3 has been shown to be superior to minoxidil in ex vivo testing. In addition, Acetyl-tetrapeptide-3 is a potent anti-inflammatory agent, helping to treat the white blood cell inflammation that is associated with non-scarring hair loss.

Truly Unique Models by Bohemian Guitars
Bohemian Guitars have been making their unique instruments for several years, but they have not always been that easy to get a hold of. Now however, we have acquired a number of these special models for you, right here at Bax Music.
Inspired by the unique musical instruments created by the people in the townships of Johannesburg using whatever they could get their hands on, Bohemian Guitars also create unique instruments out of unusual materials like old oil cans. These guitars don't just look special, their hollow bodies play a large part in giving them a special sound too. Choose from the red Motor Oil model with two humbuckers, the dark Moonshine model with two single-coils or the yellow/blue Surf Wax with a P90.

The central text in the Nag Hammadi Library collection can be seen as "The Gospel of Thomas," also known as "The Secret Sayings of the Living Jesus." It is central because its contents are passages made from what Jesus said. Without having "what Jesus said" there could be no epistemology for Christianity as a philosophy.
Of great concern to students of the NHL is how "Thomas" as scripture is used as an instrument. There are clues in 1st century history. There were Jewish rules for interpretation.
The Seven Rules of Hillel on interpreting scripture existed long before Rabbi Hillel (60 BCE 20 CE?), but he was the first known person to write them down. The rules are so old we see them used in the Old Testament. Because Hillel was a known teacher at the time of Jesus, it is logical that these Sethian Jews, familiar with the teaching of Levites would know the Seven Rules. http://www.yashanet.com/studies/revstudy/hillel.htm
Hillel was a Sanhedrin Priest who shared his duties in regard to Law with another Priest names Shammai. The Sanhedrin was the lower system of lawmakers active in the Jewish Temple.
The Seven Rules of Hillel:
(1) Chol v'chomer – argument from lesser to greater (or greater to lesser) "If this …. then how much more so…"
(2) Gezeirah shavah – argument by analogy — comparing similar words in different passages.
(3) Binyan av – a foundational passage serves to interpretate other passages.
(4) Kelal ufrat – a general summary statement is followed by an explanatory, more specific statement.
(5) Sh'enei ketuvim – standard from two passages – a decision where two laws that seem to contradict are settled by another verse which resolves the conflict.
(6) Ke yotzei bo mimakom acher – "like it says elsewhere" – explanation of a word in one text is clarified by use of same word in an unrelated text.
(7) Davar halameid mi'inyano – definition from context of total passage. http://www.drybonesrestorationcompany.com/articles/Series/Hebraic%20Foundations/Rules_Hll.pdf
works he reveals Thomas saying 4, which can be compared to the Coptic version below. The comparison reveals that the Hippolytus' version uses the Sethian Specific term "Aeon."
"The one who seeks me will find me in children from seven years of age and onwards. For there, hiding in the Fourteenth Aeon, I am revealed." (Hippolytus, Ref. 5.7.20, GThom L-4)
"The old man will not hesitate to ask a little child of seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will be last, and they will become a single people." (Coptic Thomas, L-4)

Depending on the context, the Visarga is pronounced as a fricative with different places of articulation. Therefore he is often called as a placeholder for any fricative sound.
A characteristic pronunciation can be explained as follows:
Echo at the end of the sentence
At the end of a sentence, the Visarga is pronounced like a soft echo after the vowel.
- usually, short vowels have a longer echo:
- usually, long vowels have a shorter echo:
- in the umlauts ai and au, only the second part has an echo:
- namaḥ (greeting) pronounced as nama-hā .
- goḥ (cow) pronounced as gō-ho .
- āśayaiḥ (remainder) pronounced as āśayai-hi .
Jihvāmūlīya in front of unvoiced guttural sounds (k, kh)
When an unvoiced guttural sound (k or kh) follows, the Visarga is pronounced as an only slightly audible guttural sound, the so-called Jihvāmūlīya. The German ch comes close to this sound (example: Da-ch-Kater).
- duḥkha (suffering) is pronounced as du-ch-kha.
Upadhmānīya in front of unvoiced labial sounds (p, ph)
When an unvoiced labial sound (p or ph) follows, the Visarga is pronounced as an only slightly audible labial aspirate, the so-called Upadhmānīya. The German fh or ph comes close to this sound (example: Dor-f-Platz).
- vṛttayaḥ pañcatayyaḥ (five types of waves) is pronounced as vṛttaya-fh-pañcatayya-hā .
Ūṣman in front of fricatives (ś, ṣ or s)
When a fricative (ś, ṣ or s) follows, the Visarga adapts to the following fricative, a phenomenon called Ūṣman.
- śantiḥ śantiḥ śantiḥ (peace, peace, peace) pronounced as śanti-ś-śanti-ś-śanti-hi .
- niḥ-śreyase (total wellbeing) pronounced as ni-ś-śreyase.
(with the two fricatives being merged into one long fricative)
