Last night, I imported all of my Wordpress blog content over to the blog section on this site. As I was browsing through the archives, I came across an unpublished draft from December 2006, and it just struck me to see how much I've changed from age 20 to age 29. To give some context, that post was written a month before leaving to study abroad in London (which was also my first overseas trip). I was just wrapping up the first semester of my junior year of college at USF, where I was rooming with my friend Steena, who I had known since high school.
This was a really difficult time in my life. I never really found my place at USF, and I was also dealing with a lot of health problems related to an untreated thyroid disorder. That's part of what sparked my decision to study abroad. Three years of college had passed by without me really making an impact on anything or anyone, and I had this romantic notion that getting far away was the only way to shake up my life and help me figure out my path. Here's an excerpt of the post:
In the nine years since writing that post, I'm proud to report that I've nearly become the person that 20 year old Amanda hoped she would be. I'm so much more confident, social, and outgoing, with an amazing network of human beings all over the world.
It was by no means a quick/easy process to become present-day Amanda, and I still feel like there are a ton of things I can improve about myself, but the point of this post is to put it out there (to whoever's reading this, friend or stranger) that you have the power to make big changes in your life if there are aspects that you're unhappy with. And it's OK if that process is a gradual one. Find the people who inspire you, and try to emulate what makes them successful. To that point: Steena Villamil, thanks for being such an inspiring friend and roommate over the years. :)

The cost of non-discipleship
One of my themes over Lent are the words of Jesus about discipleship:
If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? (Mark 8:34b–37, NRSV)
I think the application to Lent is fairly clear. Taking up the cross is about sacrifice, hardship and ultimately death. If we want to be Jesus' disciples, we know what to expect.
If you want to read a good book about this subject, get hold of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship. Be warned, it's not an easy book to read.
I have often wondered where I'd be now if I wasn't a Christian. I have the intellectual ability to do pretty well any job I'd like. I could easily have been a lawyer or a doctor. I would certainly be quite rich. I'd have a very nice house, a very fast car, and I would take holidays in very exotic locations as often as possible.
However, following Jesus has led my to be a Salvation Army Officer. It's a pretty strange deal. I can't even moonlight as any of those things I really would like to have been. I'm looked after fairly well, but many of the nice things in life are simply out of our reach.
And there's the problem. I am looked after fairly well. I have a good car to drive, a nice house in which to live, and I get more than enough mnoney to cover the basic necessities of life. It's not a lot, but I can afford to go out once in a while and buy a DVD or a video game.
So what's the problem?
The problem is that it's too easy for me to remain a disciple of Christ. There's a barrier to leaving. If I decided I'd had enough of this caper and wanted to give it away, it would actually be a hard thing to do. It would have a big effect on my family–the way the Salvation Army works means it mightn't be that easy for Trudy to continue in her role as an officer. We'd have to move out of the house and probably back to South Australia where our families are. We'd have to start paying rent. We'd have to find jobs. We'd have to buy a car. Our standard of living would probably decrease quite substantially.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining! I am very grateful that I am able to enjoy the lifestyle I do. It just seems somehow wrong that it's easier to be a disciple of Christ than not. I don't think that's what Jesus meant!

People in survival mode generally don't achieve much in life in terms of helping other people, as they are full time in just surviving themselves.
If you as an officer was struggling to pay the bills, you wouldn't be able to put as much effort into your work, so being supplied with a car and a house and many bills paid is a good idea…. to a point …..
If you compared your house and your car with the corps people, where would you rate .e.g would the quality of your accommodation and transport be higher than 40% or 60% or 70% or 80% of the corps ?
What figure would make you feel comfortable ?
I've seen some officers live in acccomodation that was better than 90% of the corps people, which IMHO is not acceptable, as the expectation of the church is that the corps people will continue to keep the money rolling in to support the church, for which much of the budget is used to support the high standard of living ( which was out of the reach of most of the church members ), while at the same time other expenditures on important activities such as worship and outreach were struggling on very low budgets.
I'm sure this is in the minority of corps, and I was just unlucky. The upside of my experience is that my family is supporting many children in 3rd world countries, and have a goal of sponsoring 20 children down the track ,rather than seeing our money going to suport mainly self seeking purposes.
I'm ok for everyone who receives my money to be accountable for what they do with it. If they refuse to be accountable then they don't get it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
jack permalinkMarch 5, 2009 2:53 am
I think there are quite a lot of officers who remain in their positions simply because of the level of comfort and security it provides. I'm not saying that they are paid particularly well, but for someone with limited education and work experience outside of ministry would quite likely find it difficult to find work that pays enough to cover the house, car and wages provided as an officer.
March 5, 2009 8:17 am
Jack I assume you are not saying that all officers have limited eduction, but that some do. And for those that do have limited education, the army in conjunction with the government centrelink payments, certainly would provide a standard of living way above what would have been achieved in their working career. Do you believe that some people become officers because of this reason ? i.e. They cannot see a way of providing for their family ( or maybe don't want to ) and a good career choice is officership.
Jack permalinkMarch 8, 2009 5:35 am
No John, I'm not saying that not all officers have limited education, but many do. However even for those with qualifications and work experience gained before entering officership, I would think that after having been officers for 10, 15, 20 years or more they would even have difficulty re-entering the workforce in areas for which they are qualified and/or experienced. So for some it would be very difficult to give up the level of financial security enjoyed as an officer. I think there are at least a few officers that should not be officers, but they hang in there mostly for that security.
I don't believe that there would be many who go into training college because of the perks of the job – I think the vast majority do it for the right reasons (whatever they are). But once they are in appointments, have supposedly made a lifetime commitment to be and stay as officers, it would become increasingly difficult to leave.
March 15, 2009 11:33 am
I've heard a few officers complain that they only get paid $5 per hour. I don't know exactly what officers are paid in cash, but if the comments are correct Its about $200 per week each officer, and I have a rough idea of the benefits.
There is also centrelink benefits if children are involved. Have you ever worked out what family income you would need to maintain the same level of lifestyle… i.e. the same car, renting the same house, same education, same energy expenses, same communication expenses, same holidays, same everything ?
Note : all of these expenses are paid after tax.
It would be interesting to see that it equates to. I am guessing, repeat guessing, that the family income would need to be about $80,000 per year, which is not easily achieved by any family when average incomes are about $50,000 per year.
On a related subject, I also believe that the average income for a Christian is less than a non Christian, I won't go into the details unless its of interest to anyone reading this.
March 17, 2009 8:56 am
Regarding income of christian vs non-christian I am sure my comments are going to cause someone to disagree , however that is the norm 🙂
I believe that the average non-christian earns more than the average christian, because
1) I believe that the average IQ of a non Christian is higher than a Chrisitan, and IQ is related to earnings ( IQ is dragged down by the fundies ! )
2) Church puts emphasis on the fact that God will supply all our needs. Which then encourages some Christians to take it easy / not focus on earning income as it doesn't matter what they do, God is going to supply everyone on a plate. And if God doesn't deliver then thats ok too, as God has determined that they person doesn't need too much and you can't do anything about that
And to finish, some people get centrelink and God mixed up.
March 18, 2009 11:09 am
Maybe my observations are based upon my most recent church. Maybe I need to visit a variety of churches.
March 18, 2009 11:17 am
The following is a review of several studies of IQ and religiosity, paraphrased and summarized from Burnham Beckwith's article, "The Effect of Intelligence on Religious Faith," Free Inquiry, Spring 1986: (1)
1. Thomas Howells, 1927
Study of 461 students showed religiously conservative students "are, in general, relatively inferior in intellectual ability."
2. Hilding Carlsojn, 1933
Study of 215 students showed that "there is a tendency for the more intelligent undergraduate to be sympathetic toward… atheism."
3. Abraham Franzblau, 1934
Confirming Howells and Carlson, tested 354 Jewish children, aged 10-16. Found a negative correlation between religiosity and IQ as measured by the Terman intelligence test.
4. Thomas Symington, 1935
Tested 400 young people in colleges and church groups. He reported, "There is a constant positive relation in all the groups between liberal religious thinking and mental ability… There is also a constant positive relation between liberal scores and intelligence…"
5. Vernon Jones, 1938
Tested 381 students, concluding "a slight tendency for intelligence and liberal attitudes to go together."
6. A. R. Gilliland, 1940
At variance with all other studies, found "little or no relationship between intelligence and attitude toward god."
7. Donald Gragg, 1942
Reported an inverse correlation between 100 ACE freshman test scores and Thurstone "reality of god" scores.
8. Brown and Love, 1951
At the University of Denver, tested 613 male and female students. The mean test scores of non-believers was 119 points, and for believers it was 100. The non-believers ranked in the 80th percentile, and believers in the 50th. Their findings "strongly corroborate those of Howells."
9. Michael Argyle, 1958
Concluded that "although intelligent children grasp religious concepts earlier, they are also the first to doubt the truth of religion, and intelligent students are much less likely to accept orthodox beliefs."
10. Jeffrey Hadden, 1963
Found no correlation between intelligence and grades. This was an anomalous finding, since GPA corresponds closely with intelligence. Other factors may have influenced the results at the University of Wisconsin.
11. Young, Dustin and Holtzman, 1966
Average religiosity decreased as GPA rose.
12. James Trent, 1967
Polled 1400 college seniors. Found little difference, but high-ability students in his sample group were over-represented.
13. C. Plant and E. Minium, 1967
The more intelligent students were less religious, both before entering college and after 2 years of college.
14. Robert Wuthnow, 1978
Of 532 students, 37 percent of Christians, 58 percent of apostates, and 53 percent of non-religious scored above average on SATs.
15. Hastings and Hoge, 1967, 1974
Polled 200 college students and found no significant correlations.
16. Norman Poythress, 1975
Mean SATs for strongly antireligious (1148), moderately anti-religious (1119), slightly antireligious (1108), and religious (1022).
17. Wiebe and Fleck, 1980
Studied 158 male and female Canadian university students. They reported "nonreligious S's tended to be strongly intelligent" and "more intelligent than religious S's."
Phil Laeger permalinkMarch 31, 2009 11:34 am
@ John Duthie:
The article you reference cites "tendencies" of non-religious people to be smarter than religious people. Might I humbly suggest that much of academic pursuit and intellectualism boils down to one more path of rebellion against God. It's in man's entire being to rebel against God. ("The sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so." Romans 8:7)
Please don't read that as me saying that the pursuit of knowledge is in itself an act of rebellion. No, what I mean to say is that perhaps many who reject God seek to find their meaning in learning, hence those statistics.
(Ravi Zacharias – a BRILLIANT philosopher, theologian and Christian apologist – has much to say on this topic.)
Faith in an unseen God is an affront to reason (at least on the surface) – depth of insight and true wisdom begins the moment we acknowledge God's existence and begin giving Him the proper reverence He is due. ("The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." Proverbs 1:7 AND "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'."

Friday in San Francisco was my solo day, and I had plans to visit the San Francisco Museum of Asian Art, which is a truly world-class institution. Don't miss it. During my visit I concentrated on Southeast Asian art, including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Thailand, and Indonesia. I'm very slow, and I read many of the plaques, so I'm not a lot of fun to go with for museum visits.
A personal highlight was finding Indonesian Gamelan rod puppets in the gift shop. If you're not familiar with this Indonesian art, it focuses on telling the traditional stories of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. I was elated to find them.
In the afternoon, John Mattos and I went to the Blackhawk Museum of Automobiles in Danville, CA. John and I are both auto fans, particularly interested in the design component. Looking at his gallery, you will note many of the pieces contain intriguing man-made objects, including aerodynamic cars. The Blackhawk museum is renowned for it's collection of pre and post WWII automobile icons, The space is huge, and the cars are breathtaking. I got to see one of my all-time favorites, the '63 Iso Grifo Prototype, and the three Alfa-Romeo B.A.T. cars.
The museum also featured a temporary exhibit of work by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, the artist responsible for the original Rat Fink cartoons and customizer of hot rods. Ed Roth had more lives than Fritz the Cat, and his current status is on the ascension, running lockstep with his contemporary, Von Dutch.
Danville is about 45 minutes outside of San Francisco. I recommend to all lovers of cars and design to put this on their schedule.

I was born and raised in the heart of San Francisco. It's not the same city as it once was. The free spirits and hippies have been replaced by corporate techies. Gentrification is in full effect. Anyway, I was raised by the most incredible single father in the world along with the most impressive big brother. In our family, education was always number one. My father has a Phd in business analytics and a masters in Engineering, my mother has a DDS in periodontics, and my brother, a Stanford Law graduate. I was always greatly influenced by the men in my family, so little ol' me decided business was my path. I went to Santa Clara University, studied abroad in Paris, and came out the other end with a BA in Marketing. I continued my education and earned a Master's in Global Entrepreneurship where I lived, worked, and studied in Barcelona, Taipei, and San Francisco.
In 2010, I started working for a tech start up in San Francisco, where I was a part of the pre-launch and creation process. I travelled the world in my marketing role and ended up residing in Los Angeles in 2013. But after four years with the company, I realized in 2014, I wasn't following my heart. Instead, I had been suppressing a creative drive I didn't quite understand yet. So I quit my corporate path to pursue an exploratory phase in modeling, styling and putting my 10-years of vintage curating to the test. After a year of styling with my vintage collection, I quickly become pegged by the media as "The Queen of Vintage."
On April 12, 2016, I launched Sami Miro Vintage, where I found my purpose. I have always been inspired by the mystery in every vintage piece. And when you wear SMV, you carry not only the integrity of lasting quality, but the story and journey of each garment with you. The collection revolves around vintage denim. Each product is hand cut from vintage Levi's, Wranglers, Guess and other top quality recycled denim, making every piece unique. SMV products are hand made in Los Angeles and are designed for both men and women.
Today my focus is Sami Miro Vintage, creative directing, styling and continuing with my path as a social media influencer by aligning myself with likeminded brands.
Follow your heart, work hard, and always have a backup plan. xo

A nice hitch comes standard, but it
looks like it doubles as protection for
the rear differential.
ing up two-tracks or even cranking
it on smooth dirt roads, but like any
4x4, it's going to be happiest in a little
We were able to jump the 500 a little bit, and it handled it fine. We also
got out to play in the mud—again, no
problem. The 4x4 just pulled through,
smooth and clean. Our riding area
for this test had a lot of slippery roots
and rocks coming up out of the clay.
In all cases the 500 was planted, willing to go and had the gear ratios to
maximize the performance.
Unlike many CVT 4x4s in this class,
when you do need to get the front end
up, the Can-Am 500 will allow you to
grab a wheelie to get the job done.
One thing about the TTI suspension,
when you roll into the throttle, the
back squats and pushes the tires into
the ground. It really has exceptional
traction driving forward.
In most cases the Can-Am's trac-tion-sensing Visco-Lok front end
works well, but even with the QE, we
sometimes miss a true diff-lock. We
could also wish for a tire with more
aggressive tread and more sidewall
strength, but those are minor issues.
Spend a little bit of time at anysort of extreme 4x4 ATV competition,like mud bogging or even enduranceraces, and you will see a lot of Can-Ams. After spending some time withthe 500, we completely understand.The neutral feel of the chassis, the waythe suspension works, the light steer-ing and, most of all, the smooth andenergetic power from the V-twin makethis a package that makes you wantto go out and have an adventure.The riding position (seated and stand-ing) is comfortable and roomy. Themachine is very attractive with top-of-the-line styling, and it's very effectiveat getting the job done. Add in the factthat the weight and the price are rightwhere they should be in the class, andit makes the Outlander 500 a greatvalue and a great 4x4. ❏

Here's One Funder That Was Responsive to Disasters Last Year, With an Eye to Long-Term Needs/
Last year was filled with more than its fair share of disasters. The cost of the hurricanes in Florida, Texas, and Puerto Rico, as well as the wildfires in California and other disasters, is likely to exceed over $300 billion, according to the U.S. government. But even that startling figure doesn't begin to capture the hardship that last year's disasters inflicted. Such events nearly always exacerbate economic and racial inequities, often in ways that are hard to see.
Through last year, we covered how various funders responded to disasters—some with a specific eye on vulnerable populations, like the funders who stepped up to help Latino immigrants in Sonoma County after the wildfires there.
We also wrote about the growing influence of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, which has been pushing the funding community to think more strategically about its giving to address disasters. A key point that CDP stresses is that funders need to focus greater resources on long-term recovery needs—the arduous work that often remains long after the media and most donors have stopped paying attention.
- After the Fires: How a Funder Mobilized to Aid Latinos Devastated by Disaster
- A Smarter Response: The Center for Disaster Philanthropy Looks to Leverage Donor Dollars
- Who's Helping the Forgotten Victims of California's Wildfires?
- Response Time: A Case Study in Community Funding for Puerto Rico
The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation is an example of a funder that's well aware of the extended effects of natural disasters and the importance of looking beyond emergency relief. In an end-of-the-year message from the Hilton Foundation's president, Peter Laugharn, he wrote, "Without a thoughtful long-term response, the underlying disparities that exist along race and class lines will also deepen."
Hilton is also one of the few funders we can think of that responded to all of the top disasters in 2017 at a substantial level.
In 2017, the foundation gave $350,000 to the Northern California Fire Fund for its relief and recovery work. The goal of this grant was to reach the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people affected by the fires. Similarly, the Hilton Foundation gave $250,000 to the Northwest Assistance Ministries after Hurricane Harvey and $400,000 to the Puerto Rico Community Foundation after Hurricane Maria. In total, the Hilton Foundation committed $1.35 million through its Disaster Relief and Recovery program for both immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts. Hilton also chipped to provide support to people affected by the Southern California wildfires that raged around the end of the year.
Before the close of 2017, the Hilton Foundation announced its fourth quarter grants, which totaled more than $29 million and brought the yearly total to over $121 million. The good news is that grantmaking has been on the rise with this funder, as the 2017 total exceeds 2016 by over $10 million.
Homelessness and foster youth continue to be the top local causes in Los Angeles for this funder. New local homelessness grantees include the Genesis LA Economic Growth Corporation and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Meanwhile, the Alliance for Children's Rights and United Friends of the Children received Hilton grants for their foster youth programs in the city.
We're also expecting the funder's vision to be filtered through the results of the recent Portrait of Los Angeles County report, which it helped to support to examine local wellbeing and access to opportunity using a human development index and framework.
A full list of Hilton Foundation grants, as well as the yearly total broken up by category, can be found here. The foundation currently has assets of approximately $2.6 billion.

I think I will have to place yet another order with them..yikes! And best of all, only 5.96 a yard! A great deal especially when a metre of batik is almost $20 with the tax in Canada.

Elementary Homeroom Teacher- Immediate Opening
Colegio Jorge Washington
Colegio Jorge Washington is a private, non-profit, co-educational, N-12 school offering the best of a dual American/Colombian based system since 1952. We bring together motivated students, dedicated staff, and committed parents to fulfill our mission and provide a quality college-preparatory program. Continuous improvement efforts are promoted through high standards driven by our accreditation with AdvancED and the Colombian Ministry of Education. Our American-style program is supported through our designation as one of two official U.S. State Department overseas schools in Colombia. A nine-member Board of Directors elected to 3-year terms by the Parents Association governs the School. Current school-wide enrollment is just over 790 students representing an array of nationalities.
Our modern purpose-built 20-hectare campus was completed in 2009. It is located just 30 minutes from the heart of the city and contains three independent, self-contained wings for Elementary, Middle School and High School. Facilities include three science laboratories; multiple music, art and drama rooms; a central two-story library; two AV rooms; three computer labs; and a learning center for children with mild learning difficulties. Sports facilities include four outdoor multi-use courts; two full-sized soccer fields; one softball diamond; and an air-conditioned coliseum that serves both our sports and fine arts programs. Our separate Montessori preschool facility for 2-5 year olds is located in the city within close proximity to residential neighborhoods.
Cartagena is located in northern Colombia on the Caribbean Coast and is the fifth-largest city of the country. With its cobblestone streets, historic architecture and vibrant markets, the city's charm makes this seaport a popular choice for cruise ships and foreign visitors. Founded in 1533 by Spanish explorers, Cartagena is rich in history and was once popular amongst pirates and plunderers because of its key role in administration and expansion of the Spanish empire during the Colonial period. It was a center of political and economic activity due to the presence of royalty and wealthy viceroys. Today, beautifully refurbished colonial mansions and fortresses have been transformed into shops, museums, and international dining experiences that allude to the city's storied past. In 1984 Cartagena's colonial walled city and old world-style plazas were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Surrounded by winding waterways and the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena also offers a variety of water activities. Here, you can sail, swim, kite surf, or take a short 45-minute ride to the Rosario Islands to sunbathe, snorkel, or scuba dive.

Northern Ireland bans hare coursing, and fox hunting could be next
The Assembly has voted to ban hare coursing in Northern Ireland. A motion to outlaw the use of greyhounds to chase and kill Irish hares was passed by 23 to 18 this week and has been incorporated into the Wildlife and Natural Environment (NI) Bill.
It is expected to come into force after the summer.
It follows a series of temporary bans by successive Environment Ministers on taking hares.
Assembly Members will also be considering a Private Members Bill introduced by the Green Party aimed at banning fox hunting. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where hunting foxes with dogs remains legal.
Amendments were tabled and debated on Tuesday as the Wildlife and Natural Environment Bill had its first reading.
The Bill introduces jail sentences for persistent wildlife criminals as well as larger fines. Added investigation and enforcement powers have been given to the police to tackle wildlife crime.
Public bodies will now have a new duty to 'conserve biodiversity' so that all work done by public bodies will need to take the effects on wildlife into account.
New offences have been introduced for reckless damage or disturbance to protected birds, animals and their habitats, including those in Areas of Special Scientific Interest.
It's already illegal to cut hedges during the breeding season but this new rule will mean there is no need to prove that damage was intentional, just reckless. The Bill also gives new protection to the nests of certain birds whose nests are used year after year, including birds of prey such as red kite, barn owl and peregrine as well as the golden eagle, osprey and white-tailed eagle. The RSPB welcomed the new measures, but said it was disappointed that more bird species can now be kept in captivity to be shown at competitions. It promised to work with the Department of the Environment to make sure this does not lead to illegal trapping of birds to supply the trade.
"All in all it has been a good result for nature," RSPB conservation manager Anne-Marie McDevitt said.
"We campaigned hard to ensure these changes took place, including petitioning for stronger protection for birds of prey."
The Bill is expected to go through its second reading in the autumn.

Purusing through my google reader on Tuesday, I saw THIS invitation on Design*Sponge...
Of course I immediately emailed this to crafty co-worker Bridget and fashiony roommate Lindsay Ann. They speak the same Kate Spade DIY language that I do. Lindsay Ann was double booked, so the event was left for Bridget and I to scour.
How do I say... CUTENESS SENSORY OVERLOAD?? I'm not kidding. It was probably the most charming and darling hour and a half of my entire life. Stationed around the flagship Kate Spade store in Soho were 5 top fashion/diy/home design bloggers + one Kate Spade Creative Director. They were each given a black leather Kate Spade handbag to work their DIY magic on - live at the event! Bridget and I met and watched Design*Sponge's Grace Bonney craft giant gold dots on to her bag. (She's our favorite!)
I'm getting long winded so let me just bullet point the remaining sugary sweet details:
- Food & Drink: Waiters wove through the chattery crowd with trays of Mini Hot Dogs in Mini Hot Dog Buns with Mini Condiments, trays of Mini Burgers, and a festive drink that resembled a Roy Rogers.
- The Crowd: It was like a memo went out to all the event attendees that said, "Please make sure to dress adorably. We here, at Kate Spade, encourage leopard, pink, glitter, high heels, sequins, bubble skirts, swing coats, jewel toned tights and bright lipstick. Have fun!"
- Kate Spade Merch: Not only is the flagship store one of kind, but it was stocked to the max with festive holiday merch.
Lastly - The featured bloger was Erica Domesek of PS - I made this. That girl is tal-en-ted. She has just released a book based off her clever and approachable DIY projects. Bridget and I both bought her book, and with it came a canvas Kate Spade tote for us to decorate! They had tables set up through out the space loaded with organized and colorful craft materials. Paint pens, bedazzlers, glitter and bright sharpies, oh my!
ALL night, we'd hear someone compliment someone's crafty bag design, and they would respond with, "Oh thanks. I was an art major." We thought this was hilarious, because WE were both art majors. It became our response of the night and Bridget's slogan on her bag!
We agreed that mine was to have a bow, as seen above!
All that to say, and yes that was a lot to say, we had a ball! We love Kate Spade. We love the blogging world. And loved being part of the event!

Dispatches from the Front continues in India, where, beyond its storied past, brilliant colors, and puzzling diversity, are the sorrows of caste and the shadows of prison walls where millions live in chains to gods of their own making. See this land of stark contrasts, from the squalor of an Untouchables' encampment to the dazzling symmetry of the Taj Mahal. Go inside India's Temple of Doom, and take a boat on the Ganges to the holiest city of Hinduism, where pilgrims in vain wash away their sins in its muddy waters. Travel to a secret baptismal service and gather with believers by lamplight as they rejoice over Jesus and the fellowship of His sufferings. Souls of the Brave is a story of extraordinary love and extraordinary sacrifice as believers take up their cross, follow Christ, and never look back. Running time: 57 min.

Then God said, "Let us make human beings in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.— Genesis 1:26-28
and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,
and for rewarding your servants the prophets

I've been asked many times where I get my inspiration. What triggers it, what are you smokin', or how can I become more inspired?
Well, here's the short answer (before I go into hyper drive with my random nonsense). I just open my eyes and have a look around. I guarantee that all the inspiration you'll ever need is right there in front of you, no matter where you live on this vast planet of craziness and interesting things. To make a long story short, YOU are the inspiration... not a particular person, a place, or thing.
If you have a few minutes to waste I'll tell you a little about me and my thought processes. First of all, I absolutely love where I live and how I grew up. Being from a small, very rural town in central Appalachia (and when I say very, I mean very rural!), I understand that inspiration certainly comes with its share of challenges, as it pertains to massive quantities of people (the lack thereof), subways, art museums, and skyscrapers... if that's what you deem as inspirational. Luckily, I don't think inspiration comes from any particular place or thing. It's more about circumstance and making the best of any situation work for your own experiences.
And if I had to rely on copious amounts of people, or subway rides, to fulfill an inspirational idea, I'd most likely die waiting for some magic moment to happen that most likely never will.
For instance, there are days that I go to my local coffee shop to draw and I can almost guarantee, with the utmost certainty, that I'll see the same fifteen people I saw the day and weeks before and know exactly where they sit. The exact chair they sit in, what they're doing, what they're reading, and what they're listening to while they're interacting with some small talk with the person sitting next to them. And you know what, that's perfectly fine, I'll take whatever I can get.
And sure, I'd love nothing more than to live in San Francisco, where on any given day, I would more than likely not see the same person twice. And yes, more often than not, I do crave such places. But fear not, that's not always where inspiration comes from, folks. It's everywhere, in all things. It's up to you to make inspirational things happen.
Although, I do often dream of hanging out with Jeremy Wade (that cool cat from the TV show, River Monsters) and spending weeks at a time exploring regions of the planet (and fishing, of course) from which many of us have never even heard, or most likely ever see. Trekking to the far reaches of some remote village with only a small wooden canoe hulled out by the locals, in search
of a fresh water fish that mythology has deemed as a killer.
I know, I know... I digress. But for me, personally, that might be an amazing 'inspirational' trip! To carry around sketchbooks and draw people, or groups of indigenous people, that are so far removed from cell phones, the internet, and completely off any sort of grid that I'm are forced to focus on their traditions and way of life that is so different than what we see as ordinary. I can only imagine the limitless opportunities to sketch these native people and the time-honored traditions they practice and pass down to their children.
And well, with the unlikelihood that that'll ever happen, I'll get back to the reality at hand and share some last thoughts on what inspires or motivates me, and how you can start to think a bit differently about wherever it is you live. And trust me, it really doesn't matter where you reside, what far corner of the world you may find yourself in, or the lack of supplies you have around you. There are immense opportunities to create and document life as it happens. And for me, that's what it's all about.
My advise to you is this. Start looking at life a little differently, maybe even a lot more simply, as it relates to drawing and sketching. Free your soul and let the simplest of things be your waypoint. Let the distractions become your guide and challenge the obstacles you face to lead you on new journeys.
Here's an example. Take a look at that old guy in the corner of your local coffee shop with the interesting nose and profile... he's of great inspiration! He doesn't even know you're alive, and yet, he begs to be drawn with his raggedy old shoes and wrinkled hands reading the newspaper. He's got decades of wisdom wrapped up in those wrinkles and I'm pretty certain he has one helluva story to tell, even if you'll never be able to figure it out. It's up to you to tell some sort of story without ever speaking a word to him.
And pay close attention to the woman propped up next to the pizza shop smoking a cigarette and talking to her lover. Her body language can write
a novel and I can guarantee that you are nowhere on her radar. Such great character with the hand gestures and gum-chewing that you'll do anything
to keep her from going anywhere else, praying that she doesn't catch you. These are priceless moments and the character they exude can be so powerful.
I truly live for those few minutes, sometimes even just a few seconds, to lay pen to paper and capture a simple moment in time that will live on another day.
I'll end with this nugget of nonsense. I was enjoying a really cold day of hiking with my two dogs last week and happened across an opossum walking right beside us (yes, it would have been nice if were a more interesting specimen, but again, I make the most of what I've been given). Luckily for the opossum my dogs didn't wind him. I let the dogs meander away and I managed to capture an iPhone shot of him in full defense mode, warning me that if I come closer he will certainly gnaw me to death. I chuckled a bit and moved on, neither of us no worse for the wear. But, you can bet that the little guy will end up somewhere in one of my sketchbooks, telling some sort of story and making some sort of interesting composition, however weird it may be.
Sometimes we have to make our own inspiration as life is full of challenges and roadblocks. It's how we use them that become who we are as artists.

- Annoying Pop-up's
- Shows commercial adverts
- Connects to the internet without permission
If you happen to have a program called active on your operating system, it might be the explanation why you are seeing so much of undesired web content as you are browsing the Internet. This is not surprising whatsoever since malware researchers working at our internal labs have classified this piece of software as one more adware program that does not hold any valuable features. Often an average Internet user might get fooled into obtaining and implementing this suspicious and invasive piece software as on its official website it is promoted as a tool that should provide you with free access to numerous movies and various libraries of music within an instance. Such functionality might seem extremely useful to quite a few users. Unfortunately, it is not the case, as at its best this adware will provide you with access to movie trailers; what it does exceptionally well is cause tons of disruptions almost every single time you decide to surf the web. It goes without saying that such an invasive and worthless program like TipMediaPlayer must be removed without any hesitation. Do so by following the removal guide that we provide below as it is easy to follow.
Like many other programs belonging to the adware category, TipMediaPlayer heavily relies on a background system service to fully operate on your personal computer. The system service is started at the very same time that all files and registry entries associated it are installed on your computer. Thus, the dubious connectivity to adware servers will be established, which then will consequently lead to the presentation of dubious content. In the majority of cases, such undesirable content comes in forms such as commercial ads, pop-ups, and coupons. In this particular case, we have noticed that the adware in question will provide you with ads related to dating. The ironic thing about it is that since the suspicious application is not region specific, those dating ads will be even more irrelevant and annoying than might imagine. In some cases, it has been noticed that your web browser could get flooded with so much of dubious web content that simply surfing the web could become a virtually impossible task. Such functionality of TipMediaPlayer should be more than enough for you to realize that its complete removal is a must. Make sure to terminate it right after it is found fully active on your computer.
Even though you can acquire this adware from its official websites, you should be aware of the fact that the provided installer is filled with other questionable programs, in other words it is a software bundle. During our investigation, we have found out that TipMediaPlayer could come along with suspicious applications. Thus, we highly advise you to analyze your entire operating system for dubious programs such as browser hijackers, intrusive toolbars or any other suspicious software if you already have this adware active on your PC. Such manner of distribution is very common, and vast numbers of user get their PC infected in such a way. To avoid that and to avoid any additional unwanted software make sure to byass all third-party download sites as they are the primary source of questionable setup files. Your best bet to obtain a clean installation file is by acquiring it from official vendors' websites only. Also do not try to rush the whole setup procedure as you might simply miss out on a chance to cancel the installation of TipMediaPlayer or any other dubious program. Of course, it goes without saying that running a reliable malware detection and removal tool on your PC at all times will allow you to maintain a system that is free of any questionable program at all times since it can detect and terminate any virtual threat within an instance.
The removal procedure of TipMediaPlayer is not too complicated because you can terminate it via Control Panel. Even though the instructions are simple and easy to follow make sure to execute them carefully as even a single mistake could mean that the dubious piece of software has been removed incompletely. This situation is not a one that you wish to find yourself in as just a few traces linked TipMediaPlayer could be much more than enough for it to continue its functionality. We highly advise you to perform a full system scan once using a reliable antimalware tool once you are done with the manual removal; this way you will be sure that everything associated with it has been successfully removed from your computer.

UNION chiefs who helped a sacked mayoral chauffeur get his job back have blasted administrative red tape which delayed an appeal hearing by eight months.
Jaz Jassal, 36, Walsall's Civic Chauffeur, was sacked in March over allegations that he had tried to interfere with the appointment of a driver at another authority.
But Walsall Council's Employee Appeals Committee overturned the authority's decision at a hearing on Wednesday and Mr Jassal was immediately reinstated without loss of pay and benefits.
Walsall Unison's branch secretary Reg Evans, who represented Mr Jassal, labelled the case against his member "ridiculous".
"I am delighted with the decision and it is quite a resounding success for Unison.
"I cannot go into any details of the hearing, but the case against Mr Jassal was a ridiculous one and the committee have rightly set the record straight.
"It is a pity that Mr Jassal has had to wait eight months for his appeal, as the evidence against him was nonsense.
"The delay was because of administrative issues but we are talking about someone's livelihood here and it shouldn't have taken this long.
"Mr Jassal is looking forward to recommencing his duties which he always carried out diligently and proudly."
Mr Jassal, who is also a special constable, became the borough's first Asian chauffeur when he took up the post eight years ago.
The allegations against him were made last year and he was dismissed in March.
Mr Jassal was today unavailable for comment.

The really good thing about being a small business (some might even say 'tiny'), is that we get every single piece of feedback that comes our way. Good or bad, we hear it. And on the extremely rare occasion we hear something negative, it keeps us up at night! Yes, that's a good thing – because it makes us better.
Our goal from Day One of BOX Naturals has been to provide women with a simple, beautiful natural towelette. In the past two years we've had a handful of emails with the same complaints:
1. Too 'sudsy'
2. Too sticky
3. Too strongly scented
That's too many 'too's' for us, so we set about making BOX Naturals better. The tricky thing was, so many of our customers loved us as we were, so here's what we did – we're using the same premium ingredients, but in different quantities so our towelettes are lighter in feel (down with stickiness!) and lighter in scent. Yes, we have reformulated and it feels so good!
It took a few months to get things just right, but we feel confident enough to say that BOX Naturals are 'New And Improved!' And we sincerely hope you love the changes. If you'd like to try them without committing to an entire box, for a limited time you can purchase a trial pack in the shop for $1.29 (and free shipping).
Oh and there's one more thing. You may have noticed that we're no longer 'Intimate Wipes' – we're now 'Luxe Towelettes.' This is also a result of customer feedback. Women have been writing in to tell us just how handy they find our individually wrapped towelettes. For removing makeup, cleaning hands, instead of a shower after a yoga class, spot-cleaning silk blouses, wiping down yoga mats... it goes on and on! So yes, hands, faces and special places are just the start of where you can use our better than ever BOX Naturals Luxe Towelettes!
And as for that feedback? Please keep it coming! Good or bad, we are grateful for every. single. email.

This curiously named man is Liborius Kauphusman (pronounced Ka-foos-man), a Prussian immigrant who made his name (politically speaking) in 19th century Minnesota. He has the distinction of being the first German national to be profiled here on the site, but he certainly won't be the last! I will also note that Kauphusman's first name is listed as being spelled in a variety of ways, including "Laborius", "Laborious" and "Liborious". Very little information is available online in regards to Kauphusman, but enough has been found to construct an adequate profile for him!
Liborius Kauphusman was born in Prussia on August 9, 1837, the son of Christian and Maria Kauphusman. The Kauphusman family immigrated to the United States with their three children (Liborius, Heinrich, and Christopher) in December 1846. Upon disembarking at a port in New Orleans they relocated to St. Louis, Missouri where Liborius received his education. Three years after settling in Missouri they removed to Lee County, Iowa and in 1856 settled in Minnesota.
Kauphusman is recorded as marrying in 1860 to Ms. Katharina Maifleur and is listed by one genealogical website as having a total of 13 children! Within a few years of his marriage, Kauphusman was drafted into service but is mentioned as not having served in the Civil War due to his use of the commutation clause. Like Adoniram J. Patterson (who was profiled a few days ago), Kauphusman is recorded as paying $300 for a substitute to fight in his place. This clause was also used by future President Grover Cleveland, who in 1863 paid $150 dollars to a Polish immigrant to serve in his place!
This legislative roster containing Kauphusman's name was produced in 1877.
In the years following the Civil War, Kauphusman is mentioned as owning a farm in Hart Township in Minnesota, as well as serving as a Justice of the Peace. In November 1876 the citizens of Winona County elected Kauphusman to the Minnesota State House of Representatives for a term commencing in January 1877. He was reelected to the House in November 1878 for the 1879-80 term, and during his service sat on the Committees on Agriculture and Manufacture as well as the Committee on Printing.
Liborius Kauphusman died on October 9, 1881, at age 44 of an unspecified illness. His wife Katharina is listed as surviving him by forty years, dying in 1921 at age 80. A burial location for both Liborius and his wife is unknown at the time of this writing. The rare portrait of Mr. Kauphusman shown above was found in the extensive Minnesota Historical Society database, which has proven to be a great tool in researching long forgotten Minnesota legislators!

So here she is: the skirt pattern from B5719 sewn as-is. As you can see, it's a pretty simple straight skirt pattern. As a refresher, here are the line drawings for all the patterns included in the pattern:
I sewed up a size 14, but ended up eliminating the front darts. There is only a 6 inch difference between my hip and waist measurements so I picked my size based on my hip measurement. This, however, made the waist rather snug so I needed some room. Also, because I am pretty straight from my waist to my hips from the front (most of my hip measurement comes from the trunk!), I will usually eliminate front darts because they are simply not needed. The back darts, however, are always needed and I even deepened those to accommodate my rather large sway back (again, due to the trunk.)
This particular skirt is just a muslin that I made using some leftover fabric from another project. I'm not a huge fan of straight skirts (I prefer them either A-line or pegged) so I knew this would be made purely to figure out fit. Speaking of fit:
Aside from the fact that the skirt is horribly wrinkly in these pictures, I think I got the fit pretty perfect so I am now ready to move forward! I will now trace this pattern onto separate pattern paper and it will become my skirt sloper. From here I will use the sloper to create a couple of different skirt variations that I will actually wear this summer! My plan is to take pictures of the drafting process for each variation so, if you are so inclined, you can try your hand at changing up a skirt pattern for yourself!
Stay tuned for the first variation!

Small Fry by Anton Chekhov Audiobook
Honored Sir, Father and Benefactor, a petty clerk called Nevyrazimov sitting in his office on the Easter Eve in the company of a cockroach scurrying the table, muses upon what he might do to make it in the world. Read in English, unabridged.
Notable quotes:
"Shall I steal?" he thought. "Even if stealing is an easy matter, hiding is what's difficult. Men run away to America, they say, with what they've stolen, but the devil knows where that blessed America is. One must have education even to steal, it seems."
About Anton Chekhov
Anton Chekhov, a Russian writer, playwright and physician, considered to be one of the greatest short story writers in the history of world literature. His career as a dramatist produced all-time classics The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and Cherry Orchard. His short stories are held in high esteem by writers, critics and audiences of all generations. Chekhov practised as a doctor throughout most of his literary career.'Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress', he once said.
Chekhov's choice of names for his characters often offers additional hidden meaning. The name Nevyrazimov means "Inexpressive", so the main character of this story can be referred to as Mr Inexpressive.
