Secret Love, just published in January
The Reyes Family Romances:
Never Too Old For The Game Of Love
Recipe For Love
Love By Design
Analysis Of Love
Love Therapy
Prescription For Love (free download on Smashwords.com)
Bio: I have been reading since before I was in kindergarten. I always had stories in my mind and characters "talking", but I thought everyone did, so I never mentioned it. I have written short stories, but never sent them anywhere until recently, though I have had many essays published in different venues. Now with 7 books published and more to come, my long-suffering husband is getting used to me spending hours at my laptop. In fact he bought me a second ergonomically-designed chair when the first one broke. My kids think it's funny that Mom writes "smut". Husband likes to read it, as do my close gal pals and some relatives.
How do you usually come up with a story idea? Dreams? Writer's journal? Eavesdropping on conversations? Newpaper?
Many of my ideas come from dreams. I wake up, concentrate on remembering as much of it as I can, then I let it "germinate" in my mind until I'm ready to write it. I have some stories started without titles on my laptop...others I don't write anything until the story arc is complete and I know where to start. Sometimes I get ideas from things I read in the paper, like when I read that as electric cars become more common, we will have to start watching for them because they don't make the kinds of sounds that gas cars do. Since I had started to write about a blind hero in Analysis Of Love, suddenly I knew what was going to happen to him at some point. It didn't until the sequel , Love Therapy, but it became a crucial plot point.
What is your process from idea to first draft?
First I try to think up the whole story arc in my mind, but I don't think of it as an outline...just a direction. I think of what the characters are going to be saying to each other...imagine scenes and "listen" as they speak what is in their hearts. What I like the best is when the sex scenes are what I woke up with...those are my favorite kinds of dreams!
Who or what inspires you when your creative mojo is lagging?
I ask my husband to help me with some "research"! He LOVES that part!
Who is your Yoda—your seasoned mentor?
I don't have one.
What importance do you place on writing workshops? What workshops would you recommend to us?
I have never gone to a writing workshop.
What person would you like to thank for inspiring you in your writing aspirations? How did this person help you?
My late Mom, because she always thought that everything I did was wonderful, so if I was to ever write a book, it would be magnificent just because I did it. And my late Dad, because it was the trauma of dealing with my grief when he passed on and left me in charge of Mom who had dementia, that inspired me to create some happy endings for myself, since I felt besieged by emotions that were difficult to deal with.
Have you ever used songs for inspiration?
Oh definitely. In Secret Love, there are 2 instances where a song figures prominently into the action. And even the title of Never Too Old For The Game Of Love, is a tribute to that song that Michelle Branch sang with Santana's guitar riffs accompanying her.
Do you play music when you write? If so, what kind? Or, do you have to have silence or background noise to set your writing muse free?
Unfortunately for me, I have to have silence when I write. Since I have 3 of my 4 grown children still in the house, and each has their own TV and computer in their rooms upstairs, I have to stay up very late to get some time when their noise isn't distracting me. I have noise-canceling headphones, but they hurt my ears after a while. Fortunately, I love to stay up late and feel most creative after midnight...unfortunately, I sub in high schools so sometimes when the phone rings at 5:30am, I groan knowing how tired I'll be all day.
Do you read in a different genre than you write? If yes, why? If you read in the same genre that you write, do you feel that it influences your writing in any way?
Yes. I write contemporary erotic romance, but I like to read paranormal erotic romance. I don't imagine sci-fi plots or paranormals when I'm writing. I'm fascinated by the interaction between men and women trying to understand each other while their hormones are raging insistently. I try very hard to create realistic men... since most of the friends I'm still in touch with from years ago are men that's not too difficult. Side note: reading other authors' sex scenes can often get me "in the mood" to write my own! (giggle, snort!)
Have you ever given assistance to a struggling new writer? Has another writer ever come to your aide? How?
I help many struggling writers who are high school students, and who discover that I'm an English teacher with a specialty in teaching writing and not "just a sub". They send me their papers on-line, and we discuss how they can improve them. The writers who have helped me out are my editors, especially Dave at Whiskey Creek Press, who makes very useful suggestions that I usually incorporate after thinking about it and realizing he is right!
What do you consider your greatest accomplishments in your career so far?
I've been published since April of 2009, but I just got my first-ever fan e-mail! I was so thrilled I immediately got her permission to put it onto my blog! I'm grateful that she took the time to let me know she enjoyed my writing.
If you won the big lottery, what would you do with the money? Would give any of it to charity? If so, which one?
I would first help my 4 kids finish getting their college degrees, since as I've told them, it will allow for them to be laid off from a better class of jobs when their employers decide to outsource. And I'd buy a cabin in the north woods for husband and me, by a lake for him to do some fishing.
Then I'd give some to the American Diabetes Association, because my only brother and my oldest son have type 1, and my dream is that someday they will both be able to let their fingertips heal and throw away their needles. I'd also give some to the Alzheimers Association, because it was excruciating to watch my Mom, the woman I loved more than anyone else in the world, disintegrate before my eyes over many years.
What is the best advice you want to give to a new writer?
Write a lot. Write what interests you and hope readers will find it interesting also. Read a lot also, since the flow of words into your brain is like doing "neurobics", or aerobics for your neurons.
If you could choose an animal for a mascot, what animal would it be? What do you admire about this animal? Do you feel you have qualities similar to this animal? If so, what are they?
A wolf, because my husband told me they mate for life, as we have. I'm protective of my family and would do anything for my kids, so loyalty is one of my strongest traits. And not having to worry about shaving my legs anymore would be a pleasure!
If money, education and fear factors were set aside, what three careers would you like to attempt other than writing?
My dream career is one I seem to unable to get anymore because of my age: high school English teacher. I love teenagers...I love their energy, their enthusiasm, and their level of devotion to causes combined with the fragility of their egos. I want to help as many of them as I can to find their own voices. I tell them they all have something to say, what they need me for is to help them learn how to express their ideas, which in turn will help them organize their thoughts and understand themselves better.
I can't imagine any career that would be more rewarding than that.
If money, talent and fear were no object, what big adventure would you like to have?
I'm kind of boring, I fear. I don't have any big ambitions to travel or jump out of planes. I'd like to go on a cruise with my husband to Alaska, but not for the adventure...just to see how beautiful the country is...maybe do some camping in Canada also.
What characteristics do you like to instill in your heroes? What characteristics do you feel are necessary for a good heroine?
My heroes have to be in touch with their own emotions and willing to make themselves vulnerable to the woman they want to spend the rest of their lives with...even if they don't share that part of themselves with anyone else. To me, a secure man who knows who he is and what he wants, is truly sexy. His looks and career/money are secondary.
My heroines are all alpha females, who are independent women busy living their own lives. They don't need any man just to have a man...they can get as many of those as they want, when they want them! But they have to be forced by the hero to realize that it's time to commit to just one man.
If you had the power to change two things in the world, what would those two things be?
1-Every child born into this world would have at least one parent who felt as if the world revolved around that baby, and who would make any sacrifices to provide the love and affection that a human needs to grow up secure and whole.
2-All humans would truly live by the golden rule, so war would become obsolete and unnecessary, since to kill another human being would be seen as the atrocity that it is.
If could have a super power for a day, what would it be? Why?
The ability to stop time for a while, so I could get more accomplished while the rest of the world was "stopped". I always seem to run out of hours in my day, and this way if I needed more time, I could get it whenever I needed it.
She didn't want him to hate her. She wanted him to continue to desire her, to seek new ways to pleasure her, but that wasn't possible anymore. She'd received her summons. She had no choice but to go where she was told to go. And she had no explanation that she could possibly give him that would make him understand. So she had to pretend that all was well, then just leave.
He opened his eyes when he heard her sigh, which she hadn't intended for him to hear. When he spoke his voice was a lazy drawl; it was the sound of a man filled with a supreme sense of satisfaction.
"What's wrong, darlin'?"
She was overcome with memories of the long hours they'd spent enjoying each other, and the bodily lassitude they both felt afterwards…a total sense of physical well-being that she'd never felt before. Inwardly she cursed her summons, her job, her contract, and everything about her life, which suddenly felt suffocating and restrictive.
"Nothing," she lied. "I was just admiring how gorgeous you are, and how much I love to look at you, clothed or unclothed, though we both know which one I like more!"
He eyed her silky lingerie. She'd slipped it on for making the connection with the agency in case they wanted to use the Skype screen.
He patted the space on the couch next to him.
"Then come and join me, and we can get naked again!"
She went over to perch on the side of the couch, not trusting herself to touch him yet.
"What did your director say?"
"Oh, same old shit," he smiled at her. "They only have so much time here to finish the scenes. There's only so much they can do with my body double. It's going to cost a whole lot more money if they delay much longer, blah blah de blah blah…"
"So what did you tell him?" She asked, curiously.
"That they should take the extra money out of what they're paying me and shut up about it!"
He smiled again.
"I told him I'd be in when I'm good and ready. And I may be good, though not as good as you are," he leered at her, and kissed her fingertips. "But I'm certainly not ready to go back yet. I'm not done exploring the Kama Sutra with you! I'm sure we have at least a couple more positions we haven't done yet."
She could feel herself responding to him, almost automatically, and that in itself was unnerving to her. Instead of her being in charge around him, she was beginning to feel things despite herself...things that she wasn't supposed to feel. Things that were dangerous for both of them. She had to regain control. She took a deep breath.

The unistrut channels are now bolted into the ceiling and onto the walls, and the block and tackle is set up and ready to roll. It took a bit of work to figure out the best method to lift and move the panel, but luckily our friend Commodore David Anson of New Zealand was in town. Barry immediately put our navy boy to work. He set about designing a S.O.P. (Standard Operating Procedure). I'm very comfortable with lifting and moving the panel with very little effort.
The first photo above shows how the roller piece fits into the ceiling channel. Attached to the roller is the upper end of the block and tackle. The lower photo shows the second piece which is hooked onto a bolt screwed into the top of the panel. The blocks are called 'fiddlehead blocks'. One of the blocks would have a cam cleat. Typical brands would be Harken, Lewmar or Ronstan. You can find them at a Marine supply store.
This is me taking the panel for a walk across the studio. The commodore is enjoying a much-deserved beer. You can't see the hardware because the beam is in the way, but the line that I'm holding is attached to the block and tackle, and with a little bit of pressure, I am able to push the panel, allowing it to glide across the ceiling. We've attached handles to the sides of the panel so that when the wax and paint is applied I won't be touching the surface of the painting.
Commodore David demonstrates how to carefully lower the panel onto the horizontal work surface. The first few times we tried this, I was nervous and held my hand out to ensure the panel didn't fall too heavily. But now, I can raise and lower the panel without touching it. The locking mechanism and the cleat attached to the wall gives me the right leverage to ensure a safe and gentle landing.
I'm not sure if I'm raising or lowering the panel in this shot, but it's a good angle to see the lower mechanism attached to the door, and the upper in the ceiling channel. The line I'm holding wraps around a cleat attached to the beam above. This gives me better leverage for pulling the line to raise or lower the panel. My husband designed a special extension tool to make it easier for me to lock and unlock the line from the upper mechanism. (I'll post a photo of this in my next update). When unlocked, the panel can travel across the ceiling channel, and when locked, the panel is secure, allowing me to slowly let the line out to raise or lower the panel.
I still need to show you the wall unit that holds the panel vertically. We had to order some stronger brackets, so the vertical unit isn't functional yet. I'll post an update when its ready.
In the meantime, the panel is on the workbench, I've prepared the surface and am getting ready to apply my first layers of clear wax.

Onome Talk Am! > News > The President Buhari's Inaugural Speech Is illusory And Vague
The President Buhari's Inaugural Speech Is illusory And Vague
have read the Inaugural Speech of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd.), delivered immediately after his swearing in. It is gratifying that General Buhari has vowed to tackle the rot in the power sector, even though he did not give any direction on how to do that. By and large, it is my view that the President has not addressed the real issues affecting our lives in Nigeria.
Muhammadu Buhari during the inauguration today
It would seem that the President is still on the soap box, whereby promises and promises and intentions, are the order. He is the President of Nigeria now and my expectation was that since March 28, 2015, when he won the election, when he received the certificate of return from INEC, when he got assurances from Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, that his election would not be contested, General Buhari would have outlined his main policy direction. But alas, that has not happened today.
For instance, the President did not say anything on his foreign policy directive, on issues relating to global warming and climate change, the violence in the Middle East and the general global economic downturn. Also, the President was silent on the mode of tackling corruption, which indeed has been the main thrust of his electioneering campaigns; he was silent on the collapsing aviation sector, he kept mute on the unpaid salaries of millions of workers across the land, the huge debts that the Jonathan administration has bequeathed to him and indeed the main means of generating revenue, to run his government, apart from oil. General Buhari gave no hint on the mode of reform of the judicial system and the administration of justice generally, the expected policy statement on NNPC did not come, and even the Boko Haram insurgency, to which the President devoted most of his speech, ended up in a policy disaster, of cause after effect; in that the President will only know the cause, origin and perspectives of the criminal organization, only after he has succeeded in killing them all.
In all, the Inaugural Speech became another campaign promise, a general rendition of statements of intention, without action. It was too vague and illusory, like a speech being delivered by a novice in power. This is the President who has ruled this country as a Head of State, through a coup detat in 1983, and one that has sought to rule this nation since 2003, so he had all the time in the world, to have mapped out his cause of action and strategies. This is surely not the speech expected from our GMB.
In the coming days however, we expect more concrete reforms and ACTION.
God bless Nigeria.
P.S:He has just put into writing his own opinions, what do you think? Do you agree with him? Do you think he is wrong. Please ,drop your thoughts

TTS Music Winner @PEACEJEPROADIE "Last week, I fainted due to the high blood pressure pill I was taking. Not to mention the panic attack that I was having. At that moment, I realized how quick everything can disappear. Everything faded to black, just as fast as I could say "Dad, I am going to pass out". Sh*t was scary. Having anxiety makes that situation even worse. Everyday since, every minute, I have been just awaiting that feeling. I have been expecting to faint, I have been terrified that I am going to. I haven't. Since then, I recorded this song. Basically, for my own comfort. Granted, I know there are millions of people going through something way worse and I pray for them everyday.

TTS Music Winner: B-ST Productions
TTS Music Winner B-ST Productions I have always been surrounded by music as a kid. I was introduced to producing through a game called "Fantasy DJ," and from then on, I tried to find places I could make music, which lead me to some web-based studios.

Far From Alaska: A Rock Band From Brazil
Great things happened in 2012 – one of which being the formation of Far From Alaska – a band with a, what is best described as, stoner-rock sound. The band hails from the distant land of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The band consists of Emmily Barreto on the microphone, and Chris Botarelli on the synthesizer, lap steel, and vocals. Originally, it was just these two members who aimed to have something consistent musically, but as time went on, it was decided that Rafael Brasil (on guitar), Edu Filgueira (on bass) and Lauro Kirsch (on drums) just made sense and completed their outfitting. A Brief History Far From Alaska was originally just a project between Emmily and Chris, and decided together to have ...Read More »
The Revivalists: A Unique Band With A Unique Sound
The alternative rock/ jam band, The Revivalists, got their totally-relatable start in New Orleans, Louisiana not long ago in 2007. Guitarist Zach Feinberg and drummer Andrew Campanelli already knew each other prior forming The Revivalists as we know them. They were no strangers to jamming out and performing. At this point, though, the band was not quite complete. While the creative soundings of their guitar and drums were enough to make a crowd swoon, the duo did not stop there. It was actually by chance that, while headed out from campus, Zach came across David Shaw – the guy who would become one of the band's guitarists. Zach, instead of going his regular bike route, took an alternative route to where he was going, ...Read More »

Just bought it! Great track! Try to beat my Zonda time on leaderboard.
Brilliant fun in the WTCC cars, which is all I've managed to run so far.
Proper old-school track. Fast, narrow, no tarmac run-off to take advantage of. Gorgeous scenery. Another exceptional job by Sector3.
The G5 cars on this track are sensational too.
The DTM '92 too
great track, nice simple course for a novice like me to practice on
It really is a fun track. Does have some FPS stuttering at high res/trip screen similar to sonoma and hill climbs, but at low track detail it clears up. Anyone notice the broken down VW bus in the woods?
Ive got the lead time in one class with with Audi R8, forget which class..helps that there are only 3 lap times . I'll enjoy the glory while it lasts!
Oh yeah? I'll go take care of that! Haha joking, enjoy it!

Russia and its leader (who many Americans also admire because of his macho posturing) continue to openly march forward towards the fulfillment of their negative role in the Henoch Prophecies, as I've been documenting on this blog. Meanwhile, many Americans are busy blaming president Obama for all of their woes, failing to understand just how the power game in the USA really works, which was even explained to us by Billy Meier and Ptaah in the process of hinting at the possible fulfillment of another element in the Henoch Prophecies by 2020.
The UFOCI
Now in light of these largely unnoticed, hugely important developments my haranguing of the UFO community/industry (UFOCI) may have been seen as an irrelevant indulgence. But consider that the time, energy and money going into the creation and promotion of what is almost exclusively disinformation and distraction, amounting to a multi-million dollar industry, has effectively prevented the world from learning about the singularly authentic Meier contacts and the wealth of information they contain. This information of course includes vast amount of specific prophetic information, which is intended to alert us to the grave errors of our ways so that we can make the necessary course corrections – in time – to avoid the otherwise overwhelmingly disastrous consequences.
But the parasites and poseurs in the UFOCI who couldn't resist sucking up all the air in the room – and whose usefulness thereby didn't escape the notice of the intelligence parties who gladly channeled their disinformation through the witting or unwitting ones – have contributed more greatly than they know to preventing the all important truth from reaching humanity, which actually equates to a form of…suicide. Of course this also goes for the interminably insufferable know-it-alls who proudly refer to themselves as Skeptics. (NOTE: Since the publication of the information here, not a single one of the quacks in the UFOCI, nor the suddenly silent, pseudoscientific skeptics, have come forth to dispute Meier's now incontrovertibly proven evidence, or of course to apologize for their stupid, stubborn, self-centered, erroneous statements and/or defamatory attacks on Meier.)
Outsmarting the Prophecies
These ongoing developments aren't really only about Russia and the USA of course. People in Canada, Scandinavia, as well as Eastern Europe, Iran, Turkey, China – in fact people all over the world will be affected by what will otherwise unfailingly occur in accordance with the immutable laws of cause and effect, should we remain passively indifferent to such long foretold and continuously unfolding events. So neither late in the game handwringing, nor ill-conceived attempts to do an end run around the prophecies to attempt to thwart their fulfillment will do anything but assure, and negatively compound, their fulfillment, as I wrote in 2007.
And while the actions of many people, in many countries over time have contributed to what we now all face, the Henoch Prophecies clearly point out that it's the long established military and economic policies of our own country that have largely set in motion the mighty pendulum that threatens to come back upon us as a huge, unstoppable wrecking ball should we not wake the hell up here in the USA.
The complete, unedited version of this important interview of Dr. Sanford Weinstein is available in the new, award-winning film, "And Did They Listen?"
NOTE: I have emphasized Arkhangelsk below in the following information compiled for us by Matt Knight, in reference to what is specifically foretold in the Henoch Prophecies (215th Contact, Saturday, February 28, 1987): "It must still be stated that the Russian attack will occur during the summer, in fact, starting from Arkhangelsk."
"Russia test launches first new space rocket since Soviet era"
"Russia declared the maiden flight of its new Angara rocket a success on Wednesday after it launched from Plesetsk cosmodrome near Arkhangelsk in the country's far north."
Related info: Plesetsk Cosmodrome (near Arkhangelsk).
Arkhangelsk region was included into the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The Executive Order #296 listing land areas of the Russian Federation that fall within Russia's Arctic zone was signed by Vladimir Putin on May 2nd 2014. This order is the most important step in implementation of the "Russian Federation State Policy in the Arctic to 2020".
Related info: Russian State Policy in the Arctic is part of a development strategy of the arctic. "The strategy aims to implement the sovereignty and national interests of the Russian Federation in the Arctic and contributes to the solution of the main tasks of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic as defined in the Principles."
"Arctic strategic security centre opens in Arkhangelsk" "Russia's Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS) and will be oriented to the issues of Russian state policy in the High North areas with strong focus at the national security topics." "RISS is engaged in the studies of Russia's relations with the foreign countries. The Institute makes analysis of the trends of political and social-economic processes on the global and regional levels, studies the possible ways of sustaining strategic stability.
May 13, 2014: "Police officers, fire fighters and other law enforcement employees in Murmansk or Arkhangelsk can forget about visiting friends or take a tourist trip to other Barents countries."

Joshua Harris: Removing Obstacles (to the Gospel)
>> Friday, September 11, 2009
Hello all!
I was blessed this morning to come across this video clip and thought it was definitely worth passing on.
God bless and veritas supra omnis!
Hello all!
I was blessed this morning to come across this video clip and thought it was definitely worth passing on.
God bless and veritas supra omnis!
Greetings Mark,
Thanks for pointing this video out to me, Mark. It was very interesting. I agreed with what he was trying to say, but not with what he said, if you know what I mean. There were several things that got mixed up in his presentation. Central to these was a failure to communicate what the gospel was. This probably was because this is a clip of a longer message (I am assuming), and so I missed his definitions and clarifications.
But the main point is this: the Gospel is Christ. And part of proclaiming that Gospel, that glory of God, that amazing Truth, is proclaiming how different, radical, powerful, all-influencing, and all-ruling He is. There ought to be no part of our lives that is outside of the Gospel's (Christ's) ruling influence. Everything we do ought to be inextricably connected with, woven into, and founded on God and His Word.
He got it right that we should not value our standards over the Cross, blocking people from coming to the Gospel by our works. But that action and attitude in itself is an outpouring of a disconnect of your standards from God. If our works truly are an outpouring of our faith, then people will see our faith in them, and will glorify God in them.
When a person hears that a person is a Christian, he of course should not immediately think of a homeschooler, a right-wing constitutionalist, or a person who refuses to wear immodest clothes, or listen to worldly music. What he should think of is a person who has a God so big, and a faith so strong, that every part of his life is a part of his relationship with his God. And that needs to include homeschooling, modesty, politics, music, and etc.
Too many people believe things about politics, and yet they have not the faintest clue why their ideas are biblical, or even if they are. This is sadly very prevalent among almost all Christian circles, from what I have seen. We need to awaken ourselves to see that nothing is exempt from God's Truth, and that we need to be able to glorify God's gospel by our political actions.
I hope I didn't go on too long. Maybe I should just write a post about this on my blog.... :)
With joy and peace in Christ,
Jay Lauser aka Sir Emeth Mimetes
Hmm... I totally agree that people allow their rights to get in the way when they share the Gospel, but I think his examples of what these "rights" are that get in the way is totally off. He talked about principles getting in the way, yet if we truly approach those principles correctly (i.e. in love) then it will not be a hinderance, but a further means of proclaiming what the Gospel means. From my experience, if even the pro-life issue is approached in genuine love for the unborn, the Truth, and the person you're talking to, and if you can explain why you believe what you do, it is better to stand uncompromisingly. I think that the rights that do get in our way that we should remove are things like... charging money (what Paul was talking about in the passage). It's sad to me that so few "men of God" believe that we can live by faith like George Muller did -- even after Muller painstakingly tried to prove that one could by recording even the small details of God's providence for him and his family and some 10,000 orphans and several missionaries and countless others in his lifetime. Imagine the people who would be reached if men who preach the Gospel lived by that sort of faith today. That would be a compelling witness of being a Christian truly being about trusting God.
Hi Mark, thanks for sharing this.
I agree with what he's saying about Christians and politics. It's something I can see now. We'll be having our elections next year, and, sad to say, where politics comes in, Christianity is oft times forgotten. There are debates, disputes, when it comes to these matters (even between Christians), providing stumblingblocks to unbelievers.
God bless.

Very good point! You touch on something very near to my family's heart: George Mueller. His life was an amazing testimony of faith taking action in works to the glory of God. Money is indeed what Paul was talking about, and we should indeed strive to avoid hindering the gospel with it. Thanks for pointing that out: I probably would have thought of it too if I had listened to it twice through and written an article twice as long. :)
With joy and peace in Christ,
Jay Lauser aka Sir Emeth Mimetes
Hurrah for George Mueller! He is a family favorite and has to be daddy's most inspirational hero of old. :D
I think it is a bit of a balancing act. I do agree 100% with the concept Josh was presenting. Often we get too caught up in the works. "Faith without deeds is dead" but faith is also "being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see"
I agree with you, Jay and Nicole, that if our lives are truly consumed with Christ our actions should reflect that. Reflect Christ I mean, not necessarily our human 'christian' standard.
I guess for me personally I see where he is coming from. Our family has gotten TONS of flack for our way of life. Mostly because people thought we were judging them and that we thought we were better than them because we homeschooled, voted republican, or wore skirts, or did not watch bad movies, and disapproved of minor swearwords.
I am ashamed to say it but, they were right!
Our attitude was more focused on the "This is what we do" not "This is who we serve".
Parodon the heresy, but, to be honest I am not sure that homeschooling is a means of salvation, neither is courting, politics , nor even modesty. Yes, as Christians we should strive for excellence in His will and His commands.
" Whatever you do work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord not for men. "
While I would prefer to homeschool and I think it is best, if I God tells my husband to send our kids to public school you bet I will be 100% behind him. It is not a salvation threatening issue. If God says "DO" you had better "DO!" even if it is against the "normal" standards. God is not confined to our human standards. His supreme sovereignty is impossible to comprehend, but this much I know; He does what He wishes and He is never wrong.
If all my life I sent my kids to Public School, voted democrat, and dressed like slut ; if when I die people know "This woman was after God's own heart", and I hear "well done good and faithful servant" that is all that matters. Of course I am being extreme in my example, but really, in the end what matters?
I am not sure if I am willing to die on this hill quite yet, but I am willing to stand up and hear what others have to think. ;) :-P

Two of the West Midlands' most promising young fashion designers, who put sustainability at the heart of their work, have been guided by industry leaders at Selfridges Birmingham.
Gemma Ramage who works to a unique 'free size' concept with her women's fashion, and Holly Jayne Smith who uses bright organic fabrics and factory offcuts for her designs, both visited the iconic store to meet a team of experts in fashion, retail and sustainability.
The talented pair were invited to the store as part of Selfridges' seminal Bright New Things project, which aims to guide the latest and emerging talent of the future.
This year the store partnered with the Centre for Sustainable Fashion - a research centre of the University of the Arts, based at London College of Fashion - for the project to help discover and celebrate the Bright New Things who will be the change leaders in the industry.
Gemma, aged 30 from Lichfield, and Holly, 25, from Birmingham were selected from a host of hopefuls, and impressed the Selfridges team with their sustainable fashion designs.
Gemma, who runs her own label called Bijou Boudoir, designs fashion to fit and suit most women as the fabric is able to be tied in different ways. She sources fabric from the heart of Birmingham and her stand-out dresses have been worn by celebrities including Mischa Barton and Eastender star Louisa Lytton.
She said her day in the store meeting the Selfridges team gave her some ideas to be able to push her brand forward as a sustainable label.
"Meeting an expert from The Centre of Sustainable Fashion was very inspiring, and he promised to help me source fabrics in the UK and also recommended to me some contacts for local manufacturing which would be useful to me. I was also given some great feedback on my collection, and some inspiration from the Visual Merchandising team on how I can create further ideas for my Lichfield-based store and brand," she said.
Holly, who is a recently graduated designer, works with a visiting lecturer at Birmingham City University.
She said: "I look to incorporate sustainability into my creative process as much as possible by using organic fabrics, factory offcuts and working with craftspeople to create embellishments. The mentoring session at Selfridges Birmingham was a great experience and really helped with my perspective on sustainable fashion. I left with some really strong advice and lots to think about."
Adam Hockney, general manager of Selfridges Birmingham said they were glad to have helped talented designers in the West Midlands.
"We were really impressed by Gemma and Holly and were glad to be able to pass on some of our knowledge to these two talented designers. Hopefully we will be seeing their designs on some of the world's top models soon," he said.
Last year Selfridges launched a nationwide search for mature creatives for the first Bright Old Things twist on the recurring project. The Birmingham store selected Den Woods, a 60-year-old actress-turned-chairmaker from Redditch, and Sally Peplow, a 52-year-old teaching assistant-turned-textile artist from Northfield. Both ladies had done a career U-turn later in life, and decided to pursue their passions. They were given creative control of Selfridges' windows for six weeks with their designs being transformed into reality, and were seen by thousands of shoppers during this time.

20th DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation Winners Found to Have Significant Achievements in Sustainable Packaging
Responsible sourcing, effective recovery and energy optimization were key criteria in the selection of seven successfully commercialized products and processes as winners of the 20th DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation. The announcement took place at DuPont headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware. DuPont Chairman and CEO Charles O. Holliday, Jr. personally presented winners with their recognition and congratulated them for their innovative spirit and commitment to sustainability.
Innovation in seven factors contributing to improved sustainability was the challenge given to participants. The international expert jury focused on these factors as their key consideration in selecting the winning achievements, which include:
The jury panel also selected three products and processes as notable accomplishments contributing to the industry's understanding of sustainable packaging. The notables include:
"These achievements demonstrate real progress in the journey toward sustainable packaging," said William F. Weber, vice president -- DuPont Packaging. "DuPont added a special emphasis on sustainability in the 20th DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation in order to raise the visibility of initiatives for enhanced performance, resource and energy efficiency, responsible sourcing, effective recovery and other innovation factors leading to sustainable packaging. This is in line with DuPont's corporate commitment to support reducing the environmental footprint in the value chains where we participate."
"As part of its commitment to sustainability, DuPont brought together a diverse group of Jurors with substantial industry expertise to identify and honor significant innovations that demonstrate progress toward more sustainable packaging," said Anne Johnson, director of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. "Turning the focus of DuPont's long-running Packaging Awards toward sustainability reflects DuPont's 20-year history of leadership in supporting packaging innovation and we are pleased to have DuPont's support in helping shape future direction in this vitally important area."
To further the educational component of this year's program, information about this year's winners will be posted online at the GreenBlue/Sustainable Packaging Coalition Design Library, to be launched in second quarter 2008. Capturing the innovations represented among these entries will support best practices throughout the packaging industry. GreenBlue is a nonprofit institute committed to sustainability by design and is home to the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, an industry working group recognized as the definitive resource for credible information about packaging sustainability.
The DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation is the industryâ??s longest running, independently judged global awards program honoring packaging materials, processes, technology and service innovations. The 20th DuPont Awards has a special focus on recognizing innovations that demonstrate breakthrough achievements in sustainability.
DuPont - one of the first companies to publicly establish environmental goals 18 years ago - has broadened its sustainability commitments beyond internal footprint reduction to include market-driven targets for both revenue and research and development investment. The goals are tied directly to business growth, specifically to the development of safer and environmentally improved new products for key global markets.

New Urbanism
6 comments:
Saw your post on chainguard about BFS.ReplyDelete
A comment:
I think we need to work towards a culture where existence or not of paved shoulders neither hurts nor helps any official organization's measurement of bicyclist 'friendliness'.
Perhaps brand new ideas like programs that monitor the paved surface conditions within travel lane. Even contemplating revolutionary ideas like jurisdictions with responsibility having statutory requirements to maintain surface conditions on existing roads to some particular level - allowing additional miles built or additional width on any road only after existing miles of surface meet certain minimum requirements. But using bicyclists as an excuse to widen _any_ roadway? No thanks.
I never meant to imply that shoulders were a good thing, only that LAB seemed biased toward separate facilities. NY state puts wide shoulders on all state roads to facilitate snow removal and just happen to be excellent cycling facilities during fair weather. The region of Ohio I lived in for 12 years did similar shoulder treatments for the same reason although they got far less snow and correspondingly smaller shoulders. Bear in mind I am only talking about roads outside the urban areas.ReplyDelete
"New ideas for monitoring paved surface condtions..." I was actually thinking about that this morning and now have an idea for a new post. Stay tuned.
Check out Wayne Pein's chainguard reply. Count me with him in that sentiment.ReplyDelete
I realize you primarily meant outside urban areas. However both as acute design - and definitely as a system-level design/expense/behavior-promotion thing - I would say it is debatable whether suburban-to-rural location public roadways with big honking amount to excellent cycling facilities.
But here is another point: Yes this characterization is debatable, but it is a debate that a group of people all working for the promotion of Vehicular Cycling does not need to resolve among themselves before uniting behind the most important targeted issues of VC. However for me to join with others on these efforts, they need to drop promotion of shoulders as 'bicyclist friendly facilities' from their official work while wearing their VC advocate hat - Because 1) I disagree with that characterization, 2) my wider stronger views on macro-transportation issues opposes most-to-all widening or addition of paved shoulders to existing roadways - certainly not to any degree it becomes a kind of default recommendation even for rural roads... maybe especially not for rural roads.
I repeat: "I never meant to imply that shoulders were a good thing, only that LAB seemed biased toward separate facilities."ReplyDelete
My preferred routes tend towards narrow country roads with no shoulders. I have no problem with taking the lane in town, be that town Greensboro, NC or Washington, DC (I lived in Metro DC until last September). I really see no reason to build bike specific facilities anywhere. I see the focus of bicyclist advocacy needing to be on education and enforcement of existing laws.
>I repeat: "I never meant to imply that shoulders were a good thing,ReplyDelete
>only that LAB seemed biased toward separate facilities."
That's good. Thanks.
But to explain my sensitivity:
Our present context is
1) a culture where bicyclist advocacy organizations actively push for shoulders on roadways as part of their official organization efforts and call that bicycling improvements.
2) most individuals in the culture have the unquestioned belief that roadways with shoulders are great for bicycling and roads without shoulders are dangerous for bicycling.
So when you mention NY state highways with big shoulders as great for bicycling, I'm going to have a negative response to that.
I should have remembered the sensitivity from following Chainguard. Sorry about that. My general views actually tend to be fairly closely aligned with yours to begin with. The aim of my original post was at LABs apparent bias towards separate facilities such as bike lanes and MUTs, I forgot shoulders could be classed in the same group.ReplyDelete

Miami Dade County Police Assaulted a 14 Year Old Boy For No Legit Reason
It seems like Florida has become the old California when it comes to police corruption and brutality. The Trayvon Martin case is still on going and it doesn't seem to end anytime soon. Now Florida is in the news for a police brutality case after a Miami Dade County Police officer assaulted a 14 year old for no reason.
Tremaine McMillian, 14 years-old, was choked by police for staring at them and it was caught on tape by his mother. While enjoying the beach with his family, the young teenager was slammed to the ground and choked.
The police engaged McMillian after seeing two boys horse playing. When the police asked McMillian to escort them to his parents, he produced a threatening stare and stance that cause the officers to assault him police revealed.
McMillian has been charged with felony resisting a police officer, violence and disorderly conduct. I think the police officer's should be charged for assaulting a citizen especially with no legit reason. What threat did a 14 year old boy present when you have a gun?
This is just another sad reason why police brutality and harassment should be taken serious. Police officers clear failed in this situation and true blue will protect their own.
Do you think the police officers were excessive or was McMillian at fault? Leave your response in the comment section below.

Frida Kahlo & Santa Claus
We took our practically 17 year old T (can you believe it?) to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit in Bologna, the one unbirthday request I could squeeze out of her. We spent ages looking for parking and hunting for take-out food (Mexican, of course) to eat on the long way back in the car. Bologna is too big for me to live in, though. What has happened to this former New Yorker is really shocking. I am just not about crowds these days. So, now I am thinking that we should move to Parma and visit Bologna when we need more art and shopping excitement.
|Dorothy, we're not in Lucca anymore . .
|Photo taking was not permitted.
|so don't look at this either.
We also got all the donated baby stuff to deliver and everybody was pretty excited with their haul of good stuff.
Stanley's wife Tina who is due in just about a month got to check all the things off her hospital list of baby requirements.
|Tina got a bag full of cute onesies like this one!
Baby Peace was totally entralled with her high tech play mat.
|Good news for her mom, Peace loves the play mat!
|Two adorable individuals who need naps.
|more peace talks
Wisdom got some big boy clothes.
Even Emmanuel's son Precious is getting a whole new wardrobe sent to him in Nigeria!
Tina and Maisey's father got to have his operation, but I don't know how it went.
And we even managed to connect a donor --our previously grumpy neighbors- with Gabry, our friend the aspiring Romanian cab driver. They donated a thousand euros to him towards a new car to use as a taxi, after we paid his way to a driver's license. This is great news because he has not had to leave his wife and little son to come and sleep in the ortofrutta store and beg for several months and is taking steps toward his big goals. I guess I will have to the folks next door next time they come back to Lucca.

Heroes are not infrequently to be found on horseback and horses have often featured on the covers of romances; I've posted a short piece about heroes, heroines and horses at my website. I should probably warn you that I chose the covers above purely because they include horses, not because they're attached to any of the texts I quote from in my mini-essay.
race and cover art by posting the cover of Cindy Dee's Soldier's Rescue Mission.
And re heroines in historicals, Isobel Carr has been doing a little bit of research into the ages at marriage of Georgian and Regency aristocrats:
How old were most daughters of the peerage (the most common heroines in our books) when they married for the first time? Stone's chart shows that during the first part of the era, the median age was ~20-22. Post 1750 (correlating with the passage of Hardwicke's Marriage Act; Coincidence?), that age jumps up to ~23-24. So, the most common age for the daughter of a peer to marry was not when she was in her teens, but when she was in her early 20s, and an unmarried twenty-five year old would not really be much of an outlier.She also discusses accurate ages for heroes at marriage elsewhere in her post.
