Easter and Incomplete Answers

On Easter morning a Sunday School teacher began to quiz her class of young children about the real meaning of the day. She asked them, "What is Easter?" and the students were quick and ready to respond.
A little boy jumped up and said, "Oh, I know! Easter is that holiday when we get together with our families, eat turkey, and everyone is thankful." The teacher answered, "No, not quite. Does anyone else know?" Another child enthusiastically answered, "This is easy! Easter is the holiday when we grill burgers and hotdogs, shoot off fireworks, and celebrate our country's birthday."
Again, the teacher replied, "No, not quite." She began to wonder if anyone in the room knew what Easter was really about. But then a little girl stood and began speaking, "Easter is a Christian holiday that follows the remembrance of Jesus' death on Good Friday. Jesus was buried in tomb, and a large rock was rolled over the entrance."
The teacher nearly squealed in delight. She was about to thank the child for such a good explanation when the girl continued, "And on Easter morning the stone is rolled away so Jesus can get out. Then, if he sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter." No, not quite.
While the children in this story gave incomplete answers, the question asked is still a good one: "What is Easter? Do we really know what it is about?" Despite a gazillion Easter sermons and Sunday School classes, our answers may still be a little lacking.
Many believers spend Easter morning proclaiming or listening to massive, exhaustive explanations of the resurrection miracle (though miracles, by default, are inexplicable). The gospel accounts are analyzed and reconciled; scientific objections are considered and then dismantled; skeptics are scolded and unbelievers are disregarded. It is apologetic calisthenics, a vigorous workout in defending Jesus' reputation, and not quite the answer.
Other believers hear or give Easter explanations that deal almost exclusively with life after death. The resurrection of Jesus is presented as our ticket to ride the divine bus, transporting us to heaven when we die. Interestingly, the New Testament never directly says "Jesus was resurrected from the dead so you can go to heaven when you die." The eventual application is made to that effect, but that is not quite the message of Easter either.
Rather, the New Testament says, over and over again, that "Jesus is raised from the dead, therefore he must be Lord over creation. Jesus is raised from the dead, he must be -- he has to be -- the grounding to what life today is all about. Jesus is raised from the dead, therefore God has done something unique and life-giving in this his servant and something unique and life-giving has invaded the entire world."
So Easter, it seems, is not so much about defending the Christian belief system (Jesus didn't come to provide a "belief system" or a collection of doctrines in the first place; he came to give us life) as it is a revolution of transforming hope for the world.
Easter is not so much a passage way into the nether regions of tomorrow, as it is a powerful, redemptive way to live today. For you see, when God raised Jesus from the dead -- and Christians believe Christ is indeed risen -- he signaled the beginning of the redemption of all things, and provided the potency to bring this redemption to its fulfillment.
So we must do more than explain Easter. We must live it and "get in" on it today. We must do more than use the resurrection as a hope for heaven. We must use it to instigate heaven on earth. We must do more than say "He is Risen," we must become proof of Christ's resurrection power.
If we have reduced the resurrection of Jesus to mere dogma, or if we employ it as an escape hatch from this life for the life to come, we are responding to the question, "What is Easter?" with an enthusiastic, but incomplete answer.

>Jesus was resurrected from the dead so you can go to heaven when you die.
Where did you get this loser? The apostle Paul makes this EXACT case! This man is as incompetent as he is apostate. Me must have studied under Rick Warren, who is also scriptually incompetent.
1Cor15: "Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain."

I wanted to chime in, in support of what Elizabeth Tidd wrote in her letter on July 12 regarding bicyclists. I was returning home this morning down Lincoln Boulevard at Lowell Avenue, with a fully green light, and a lady was also walking on her white pedestrian light. Coming directly perpendicular and fully running a red light were two bicyclists.
I had to raise my eyebrows over the irony that they were wearing helmets in case they got run into by my car, which had the right of way. That's not to mention the woman walking across, who was 5 to 10 feet from them. It's just amazing how bike riders think they are immune to the rules of the road here in Tracy.
Part of our issues here are the drivers, though. I was trying to encourage one young guy going to school a couple of months ago waiting to cross Lincoln with his bike. He had the legal right of way to walk his bike out to cross the road. He had plenty of time, so I started crossing and I'm going somewhat slowly; and this car comes out of nowhere, zooming down Lincoln. This driver wasn't even bothered by the fact that he was flagrantly, illegally not letting the kid cross. And I was looking at that driver — as I was in his trajectory — with an ingenuous look, saying, "Wow! I'm sure they see me right in front of them, but they're barreling down the road." The care was nowhere near the intersection when I started out.
So it's both the drivers and the bicyclists needing to be more wary of the rules of the road. In fact, I've had the "bejeebers" nearly scared right out of me on a few recent occasions while driving defensively.
Maybe it's that my car is green and blends into the environment, but our clueless drivers and bicyclists need to follow the rules of the road like the rest of us.
Deborah Littleton, Tracy

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Am I the only healer left who assigns spells to the task bar and presses the corresponding number buttons and then either clicks the player or in the case of 5-man groups uses the F keys?
The only "healing" mod I use would be decursive and that's not healing specific and I have healed 5 mans and raids without a problem. Like the author says, works perfect even after patch day.
I used this method for many years when I wasn't raiding. This works just fine for 5 mans but it's just not tenable once you start having 10 or more people to target and heal. Not to mention you no longer have keybinds to directly target half or more of your group members anymore.
One major advantage of mouseover macros, click-casting mods, etc. is that you can target one thing, focus another, and still be able to heal. So I tend to focus my tank, target the boss, and I can keep an eye on the flow of the fight, the boss' casting/health, etc. all while doing my job. I would highly recommend you give Healbot or Grid+Clique a shot, the results could bring your play to that next proverbial level (got to give it some time of course, not going to happen the moment you try them out ;).

Check out the island's main town too, called, yes you guessed it, Kos Town. If you like your ports picturesque then you'll love this one, sitting impressively under the watchful eye of a medieval castle, complete with narrow, cobbled streets and pretty little squares. The town also doubles up as a lively resort with everything a tourist could wish for, from bustling nightclubs to typical Greek tavernas and beaches with every type of amenity imaginable.

New research from the ICAEW's UK Enterprise Report, reveals more companies feel that the UK is less business friendly than a year ago, with medium-sized businesses struggling most with the regulatory burden.
The report, which is now in its 15th year, also shows how firms that export are performing better than businesses serving the UK's domestic market.
Of the businesses surveyed for the 2011 report, only 44% believe the UK is a 'business friendly' place to do business, down from 50% in 2010. The most negative opinion is seen in medium sized businesses, where only 38% view the UK as business friendly, compared to 55% in 2010.
Increase in legislation leads to drop in business friendliness
It's probably no coincidence, that the fall in sentiment comes at the end of a year where businesses have endured a raft of new legislation including;
- Removal of default retirement age
- Right to request flexible working
- Additional paternity leave and pay
- Employers national insurance changes
- Immigration cap
- National minimum wage increase
- Agency workers directive
As has been witnessed in previous surveys, small and medium-sized businesses find the regulatory and tax environment in the UK more onerous than larger companies.
UK business environment viewed negatively globally
In the ICAEW Global Enterprise Survey, Chartered Accountants were asked to assess the business friendliness of the regulatory and tax environment in the countries where they were based. 53% of UK-based accountants viewed the environment negatively, compared to 45% in the rest of Europe.
These numbers are in stark contrast, to the Gulf and the Asia Pacific region where only 9% and 23% respectively viewed the business environment as unhelpful.
Exporting key to growth in current climate
Businesses who export are more likely to have seen an increase in turnover and profit over the last 12 months, according to the UK Enterprise Report.
63% of exporters have grown their business in the last year compared to only 50% of those who do not sell overseas, and this trend is expected to continue through the coming year.
Speaking on the launch of the report, Michael Izza, Chief Executive of ICAEW, said: "The much lauded 'one in one out' for regulation is not working, with businesses seeing the legislative burden actually increasing. The chancellor will need to demonstrate renewed commitment to the Growth Plan on 29 November – such as suspending new business regulation for a year."

Tailor Popp, 22, Stephen Bachetti, 23, James Boyd, 24, Richard Saunders-Richardson, 25, and Mohammed Ghiasuddin, 26, were arrested over a five-day span following a SWAT team raid at the residence on the 14900 block of West Grant Line Road.
Sgt. Alex Neicu of the Tracy Police Department said Wednesday, June 5, that a three-month investigation led the Special Investigations Unit to what he called a large-scale lab.
Police released information about the raid late Tuesday, June 4, after the last of the five men was arrested.
At the residence, Popp, Boyd and Saunders-Richardson were arrested and charged with the manufacturing of concentrated cannabis. Popp and Saunders-Richardson are also charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to sell.
During a subsequent search, officers found 1.5 pounds of hash, six pounds of marijuana ready for sale and some cocaine — which was described by Neicu as "a small amount, not really too much."
Neicu said police also found the prescription drugs Norco and codeine. Norco is a painkiller that combines hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Codeine is an opiate used to treat pain or a cough.
Police also dismantled the lab, which, according to Neicu, consisted of pressure pumps, tubing and more than 1,000 canisters of butane that were found in the residence.
Butane can be infused by a small tube into a marijuana plant, according to Neicu. The butane is then extracted, and what remains is hash oil, known as honey oil or dabs.
A large number of marijuana plants were also found during the search, Neicu said.
Ghiasuddin was arrested by police at his home on the 200 block of Christopher Michael Lane on Monday, June 3, and Bachetti turned himself in on Tuesday, according to Neicu.
They are both charged with manufacturing controlled substances, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell and possession of marijuana.
Bachetti was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail at 4:39 p.m. Tuesday and has a bail of $380,000, according to the jail website on Wednesday.
Ghiasuddin is at the jail, according to the website, and bail is not being allowed.
The other three men were not listed as being present at the jail.

Mr. Winrow Returns To Mashpee As Assistant Principal Controversy Settles Out
By: Elsa H. Partan
Published: 08/19/11
Mashpee High School is turning to its former principal to fill the role of interim assistant principal this fall.
Superintendent Ann M. Bradshaw said this week that Alan R. Winrow, who retired as high school principal in 2010 after two years on the job, will start work on Monday in the one-year interim position.
In a reshuffle of a previous hierarchy, Mr. Winrow will be reporting to Principal Jane A. Day, who used to report to him when she was assistant principal. Ms. Day was hired as principal after Mr. Winrow stepped down in 2010.
"Alan knows the staff and he knows many of the students," Ms. Bradshaw wrote in an e-mail to the Enterprise. "He is familiar with policies and procedures, so he will be able to hit the ground running."
The hiring process for an assistant principal has been marked by controversy. A longtime social studies and history teacher, Brian A. Hyde, applied for the job earlier this year after serving as interim assistant principal for one year. He was recommended to be hired by a screening committee, but was not ultimately hired for the position. Parents and other supporters wrote letters to the editor and turned out for a meeting with the Mashpee School Committee to voice disapproval of that result.
Ms. Bradshaw said Ms. Day selected the two top candidates in the last few weeks, but both took jobs in other school districts. Facing the prospect of having no assistant principal, Ms. Day thought of asking Mr. Winrow to return to Mashpee schools.
"He was still interested in our schools," Ms. Bradshaw said in a phone interview on Wednesday. "We've seen him at games, and it was worth asking."
Although Mr. Winrow formerly worked as a principal and was paid at that level, he will be paid the salary of an assistant principal for the next year, approximately $100,000, Ms. Bradshaw said.
Reached at his home, Mr. Hyde said he is "fine" with returning to the classroom this fall to teach social science, history, and psychology to juniors and seniors.
"Alan is a great guy, a great leader," Mr. Hyde said. "Any role I can take in which I am contributing to kids' education, I will do," he said.
Nevertheless, he acknowledged that he was disappointed not to be taking the assistant principal job. "I thought I was an excellent fit," he said.
School committee Chairman Kathy G. Stanley wrote in an e-mail to the Enterprise that she is pleased that Mr. Winrow will be filling the interim position.
"Mr. Winrow was an effective, respected, and experienced administrator while with us," she wrote. "The students will be happy to see a familiar face when they return."
Likewise, Scott P. McGee, a school committee member, said he welcomed Mr. Winrow back.
Mr. Winrow came to Mashpee schools in 2008 with more than 30 years of experience as an English teacher and school administrator, working in school districts in Boston, Canton, Malden, and South Yarmouth. From 1995 to 2000 he was the assistant principal at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School. He served as the principal of Dedham High School from 2000 until he joined Mashpee Schools.
He holds a bachelor's degree in English, master's degrees in English and educational administration and, according to his résumé, "completed substantial work" toward a doctorate at Nova Southeastern University in Florida.
When he left Mashpee schools last year, Mr. Winrow said he was "exploring all kinds of alternatives," and did not have another job lined up. Ms. Bradshaw said that she believed Mr. Winrow was not leaving a job to come back to Mashpee.
Mr. Winrow did not return a request for comment left at his Weymouth home.
Ms. Day was on vacation this week and was unavailable for comment.

On this Memorial Day weekend, there is still lots of snow up in the mountains.
Crews are working to open Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park for the summer. Avalanche technicians took photos of the crews working on the Rim Rock area located about a mile west of Logan Pass. For updates on plowing of Going-to-the-Sun Road visit Glacier National Park's website.
Meantime, crews failed to open the Beartooth Pass on schedule. Park officials said snow and ice prevented crews from meeting the Friday deadline. Yellowstone Road information is available 24/7 at 307-344-2117.

I'm here to share my quest with the internet. This blog will mainly deal with traditionally men's clothing but hey, clothing doesn't actually have a gender, so if I like something I'll post it regardless. Also, I may post pictures of what I'm wearing if I'm looking sexy and I know it. I don't like selfies that much, but I don't exactly have an army of photographers just waiting to take pictures of me... yet... enjoy!

Who is the ASB?
Developing and maintaining financial reporting standards that lead to proficient performance in the public sector is critical to good corporate governance in national, provincial and local government. The Accounting Standards Board (ASB) is the national public entity charged with this important responsibility in South Africa.
The ASB has a dedicated team of standard setters to ensure that Standards are formulated that are readily understandable and which can be effectively integrated in the norms and practices of all public entities in the country. These standard setters set high value in consulting as widely as possible and facilitating feedback on new and revised Standards that are still in draft form.
The ASB seeks optimum opportunities to consult with stakeholders on the most appropriate financial reporting in the public sector. To this end its personnel will readily do presentations on Standards being developed for your entity, or within your province.
The ASB does not, however, formulate accounting opinions or give accounting advice on specific transactions and events that a public entity may require. But discussions do take place, at a high level, on accounting and reporting issues and problems which public entities may encounter.
These take place at the ASB's monthly Accounting Forum. Discussions at this Forum may result in a Frequently Asked Question being placed on our website or, where necessary, the inclusion of a project on the Board's work programme. The implementation of Standards is the responsibility of the South African National Treasury.

The Lenovo Yoga isn't a Netbook, it's a ripoff of the HP Jornada. It also apparently fits in a pocket, but it's a little long for all our pockets, even Jason's. We also cover iPhone 3.0 rumors and the truth about battery life lies.

It is our great pleasure to announce one of the latest recipients of
financial aid awarded by Dr. Jane's Foundation. This month's featured
beneficiary is a committed group of rescuers wholly dedicated to improving the
lives of abandoned, abused and neglected animals in West Virginia.
Based in Union, WV, Monroe County Animal League is comprised of caring foster
parents. In operation since 1990, the small but committed non-profit group is
staffed solely by volunteers. Without governmental financial assistance, they
rely heavily on their modest membership fees, bake sales, auctions, as well as
the donations of good Samaritans for their day-to-day operations. More...
It gives us immense delight to announce yet another financial award given by
Dr. Jane's Foundation, this time to Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest. The
mission of the Oregon-headquartered rescue is to find responsible, loving homes
for Greyhounds who no longer participate in dog racing or who are simply in need
of a good home. More...
True Blue Animal Rescue President, Melanie DeAeth
It is with immense pleasure that we bring you news that another rescue organization
has received financial aid from Dr. Jane's Foundation. This month's featured grant recipient is a committed group of volunteers working
to alleviate the needless death and suffering of animals in Texas.
In operation since January of 2004, True Blue Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization
dedicated to rescuing abused, neglected and abandoned animals, providing necessary
rehabilitation services and locating great new forever homes. More...
It is with great gladness that
we reveal one of the latest recipients of financial aid awarded by Dr. Jane's Foundation.
This month's featured beneficiary is a committed group of rescuers wholly dedicated
to alleviating the needless death and suffering of abandoned, abused and neglected
dogs on tribal lands in Nevada. More...
Very few would argue that our country suffers from an inordinately high
population of homeless pets. Current estimates put the number of pets entering
shelters between 6-8 million. Less than half of these animals are adopted.
For the last few years, we've published monthly reports about small-to-medium
size rescue groups doing their utmost to deal with the crisis. Which is why it
brings us great pleasure to announce funding for an innovative rescue start-up
that seeks to change the future. More...
This Golden Retriever pup loves watching televised sports, especially tennis. Here is a clip of him spectating and 'participating in' the Australian Open.
Zelda, one of 30 rescues adopted at a recent Justin Bartlett adoption event.
It brings us great pleasure to announce additional funding given by our non-profit, this time to one of South Florida's premiere groups, Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue. Serving Palm Beach County, this all-volunteer enterprise operates an extensive network of foster parents who provide guardianship for both dogs and cats. More...
There's one rule in this house ... the dog is not allowed on the bed. What the pet parents couldn't figure out was, why was there so much dog hair on the bed every time they came home from work. So, clever people that they are, they set up a video camera to find out.
You can probably guess what comes next ... but not how much fun the pup has when breaking the rules.
We're pleased to bring you news of yet another financial award given by Dr.
Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation, this time to an inspirational group of animal
rescuers in Ohio.
Located in Portsmouth, Sierra's Haven for New & Used Pets represents the best
available option for their county's homeless animals. Situated on 50 acres,
their operation is housed in a 5,653-square-foot building with the capacity to
comfortably shelter hundreds of animals.
Since opening in 2006, Sierra's Haven has made a tremendous difference in the
lives of thousands of animals, many of whom were once strays in desperate need
of medical attention. Regardless of condition, the group treats every dog and
cat with care and respect, and aims to find each animal the perfect forever
home. More...
Starting an animal rescue is a much bigger endeavor than most people think.
Some groups lack the resources to make it through the first year of service.
This is why, when a small, tight-knit group of people unite to not only
create a functional rescue, but also demonstrate a willingness to tackle big
problems, you know you have something special. More...

Wausau, WI - Friday, the Wisconsin Woodchucks lost a 10 inning thriller to Wisconsin Rapids 3-2.
The 'Chucks fall to 8-4, while the Rafters advance to 4-7. Brad Douthit (1-4) got the win, while Eric Fritz took the loss to drop to 0-2.
The Rafters got things started in the second, when Quinton Perry hit a monster one-out homerun to left-center field.
Chris Licon was chased in the top of the 5th with no outs, after allowing two consecutive singles to start the inning. Licon had a solid starting performance, allowing one run, walking three, allowing four hits, and striking out five in 4 innings.
The 'Chucks offense was stymied by Tommy Organ, who pitched a masterful 6 1/3 innings. Organ had 11 strikeouts, allowed only two hits, and issued only two walks while allowing no earned runs.
Jerad Eickhoff relieved Licon and got out of the fifth with no damage, before pitching scoreless sixth and seventh innings. After the 'Chucks were gifted a run in the sixth on a Beck Wheeler throwing error, Eickhoff began the eighth inning with the score tied 1-1. Beck Wheeler redeemed himself and ledoff the eighth with a home run, before Evan Laude hit a one out single. Eric Fritz relieved Eickhoff and induced a double play on the first pitch to send the game into the bottom of the eighth.
The dormant 'Chucks offense finally got to work, as Sharif Othman led off the eighth with a walk. Patrick Claussen promptly followed with a sacrifice bunt, before Rob Lind singled him home to tie the game 2-2.
After Eric Fritz pitched a scoreless ninth, the 'Chucks had a chance for a walkoff victory in front of packed Athletic Park crowd. Chris Amezquita led off the ninth inning with a single, before Kevin Pillar attempted a sacrifice but reach on a fielders choice. In the subsequent at-bat, Pillar stole second and advanced to third on Jamie Bruno's groundout. The 'Chucks put the winning run at third base with two outs in the bottom of the ninth for Brock Stassi. Stassi hammered the first pitch to deep right field, only for Cody Koback to make a diving grab and send the game to extra innings.
Eric Fritz allowed two one out singles in the top of the tenth, prompting a move to Anthony Drobnick out of the 'pen. Drobnick allowed a single to the first batter, Evan Laude, which plated the eventual winning run and made the score 3-2.
The 'Chucks got the winning run aboard in the tenth with two outs, but were unable to seal the deal lost for only the fourth time in the second half of the season.

Paint the Moon – This Is Our Life 2014 Photo Project – 52 Week Lifestyle – Photoshop Actions
Posted on January 7, 2014
Most of the images in this post are edited with the Luminosity Photoshop action sets or the new Grace Collection Photoshop actions.
What is lifestyle photography?
Lifestyle photography is a term that gets thrown around a lot and one that happens to have a bit of a different meaning depending on the photographer you are talking to. But, in it's essence, it is the capturing of real life moments – genuine expressions, most often candid without the subject knowing the photo was being taken. No posing or fake smiles, taken candidly in most cases and often the subject is caught up in their own world, unaware you and the camera are even there. It's the recording of precious details that pass us by everyday, and are often those little things that we look back on in later years and think, "Oh my goodness, I remember when …" It's an interaction, an expression or emotion, the way we live, laugh and love. In future years these photos will be something to look back at and treasure, to remind us of the real moments and to tell our story to future generations.
In this original post you'll find many examples of lifestyle photography as well as a plethora of helpful tips to getting started (or as a refresher to those already familiar with lifestyle photography). It's a wonderfully helpful post whether or not you plan on doing the project with us.
As someone who began her photography journey with the passion to capture the beauty in every day life, I'm excited to see that more and more photographers are embracing lifestyle photography. This project is for those who want to preserve and capture all those memories that are so important to us personally … and it's about your life, so there really are no rules. But there are some tips to shooting lifestyle photography that may help you along the way that you'll find below. But first I'll explain a little about the project "This Is My Life" and how things will work. Simple. That is my goal for this project … no complicated guidelines or instructions.
There will be a prompt or theme every week for those who find it beneficial or challenging to have something specific to shoot in their project, but for those who simply want to venture out on their own and record the moments that matter to them regardless of the theme I wholeheartedly invite you to do so. Everyone is welcome – you don't have to be a pro, you don't even have to shoot with a DSLR to join, and you don't need to use any Paint the Moon products to participate (although the images picked to be featured on the blog will be those that used PTM in their editing). Join anytime of the year and no beating yourself up if you miss a week … this is a no pressure or guilt project!
The first theme of 2014 for the "Our Life" project is BALANCE. Themes are always open to your own interpretation, and you're always welcome to go out on your own with your subject as well. For my personal project some of the ideas I've thought of for the balance theme are something that shows how hard it is balancing my roles as mommy, photographer, wife, business owner, caretaker for parents, etc., etc. … a photo showing my newly standing baby who has just taken his first few steps this week … my daughter pretending to be a famous gymnast on the balance beam … those are just a few different ways the word balance could be shown in a photo. Use your imagination and fit it to your life!
Members will post their images in the new Flickr group for This Is Our Life … every Monday you'll find the new prompt up on the Flickr group page (found inside the gray box) and it's also listed in the 2014 Master Theme List thread in the discussion area on the Flickr page. Have your submissions for the week posted before Sunday evening please.
A new feature for 2014 is the option to use Instagram to post your weekly photo. Use #paintthemoon52 for the hashtag … if you used Paint the Moon products to process the image (not required) you can add #paintthemoon to the image as well. My plan is to pull member's Instagram photos for the occasional spotlight as well. They can be your regular DSLR shots, edited with actions and uploaded to Instagram … or you can use iPhone shots if you desire. Or you can do both … a DSLR and edited shot for the regular post plus a separate iPhone weekly shot for the project. It's your project – make it what you want!
I will be doing occasional blog posts that feature images from the group to show off some of our member's photos (to be included in the featured images blog posts please use Paint the Moon products in the edit, otherwise it's not required for any submissions or participation). Please submit only one photo per week. Sometimes it's a challenge to pick our favorite as the photo of the week, but I find that is part of how we grow and learn.
Our regular Let's Do 52 group will be starting fresh for 2014 as well for those interested in participating there as well. You may choose to do both projects or just one. And with both projects you can choose to follow the themes/prompts or do your own thing with the subject of your weekly photos. The Let's Do 52 project information can be found here and the Flickr group here … for those wishing to challenge themselves with a weekly photo project, grow in your photography skills and stretch your creativity, but not necessarily take lifestyle photos, it's the perfect project. If you are new to Let's Do 52 or just need a refresher on the guidelines and details …please see the original post for the 2012 Let's Do 52.
Please come share your project images on our Facebook wall as well … see the Paint the Moon Facebook Page – Come Share, Be Inspired, and Ask Questions!
Click here for a very in depth post all about capturing lifestyle photography … finding good light indoors, settings, capturing candid moments, etc.
This project is all about YOUR life – and taking lifestyle shots are all about genuine moments, the real life raw emotion and the relaxed, everyday details that make our lives so special. Although many of you are lifestyle photographers for your clients, this project and information below is more focused on the personal lifestyle shots that you take just for YOU. I talk a lot about capturing moments with your children in the details below, however, this project is for everyone no matter what your life is like … whether you have children or not, it's meant to help you record the important memories in your life and the details you want to remember forever.

In the two hundredth year of his birth, Franz Liszt's reputation as a piano virtuoso - he was after all, the inventor of the recital and a pioneer of the celebrity tour - is eclipsed only by his reputation as a womaniser.
Ken Russell's 1970s film 'Lisztomania', with the composer played by a mostly bare-chested Roger Daltrey, is bizarrely not as over-the-top as it might first appear. Adoring woman fans fought over his cigar stubs to wear on chains on their bosom!
The pianist Lucy Parham, who's long been in love with Liszt's music, investigates the truth behind his romantic image, visiting his home in Weimar, where his bohemian lifestyle obliged him to keep a house on the edge of the town.
She talks with pianists Cora Irsen, who's boyfriend admitted a jealousy for the long-dead composer, and Stephen Hough, who sees in Liszt a soul struggling to balance the necessities of concert life with a deeply spiritual inclination. She hears from cultural historian Donald Sassoon about the context in mid-19th Century Europe for Liszt's lucrative tours. And she asks Rick Wakeman, a flamboyant musical star of later generation, about his involvement with Liszt's music and that Ken Russell biopic!
