We always aim to get someone out to you on the same day, but definitely within 24 hours. We take all boiler breakdowns very seriously and want to get them repaired as soon as possible, bringing the heating and hot water back into your home.
We will speak with you on the telephone first and assess how serious the situation is – we always give you honest advice as to whether your boiler is repairable, or if you actually need a new boiler, which will obviously be discussed with you once we have made a thorough inspection of your boiler.

Whether it would be more beneficial to be moved elsewhere within your home or whether the space can be more efficiently utilised.

Us folk at Urban Spirit love a tipple. Whether it's a cheeky glass of Pinot Grigio on a Friday night to a pint in the local, it's a chance to unwind and relax.
But more and more of the population are turning to low alcoholic beverages, appreciating the multitude of benefits that they bring. Binning the booze could be on the cards! And here's why:
The Hangover (or lack of!)
We've all woken up with a sore head following a night of drinking. Despite filling up on pints of water, the throbbing head lingers and can last for days. But the beauty of low alcohol drinks is, you guessed it, low alcohol. And without that, the hangover will be a thing of the past! As a result you will have a more productive day and feel fresh for the coming week to the envy of all your friends.
Save Save Save!
We can spend a fortune on alcoholic drinks; cocktails adding up and the change in our pockets decreasing with every trip to the bar. Low alcohol drinks are cheaper, saving you a fortune overall.
No Taxi Worries
We've all been on a night out where we've spent a freezing hour or so in a taxi queue, which doesn't seem to get any smaller. Your feet are chilly, you wish you'd brought a thicker coat and all you can think about is the extortionate fare that will come with your trip. But when you drink within the consumption guidelines, you'll have the freedoms to drive home whenever you please. Saving even more money and skipping the dreading taxi rank, you will have made the right decision going low alcohol. (Your friends might nab a lift though!)
Whether you choose the low alcohol life, or if it's the booze you choose, at Urban Spirit we are happy to cater to everyone's needs.
With a range of bespoke bars for hire, we can put a twist to any event with our professional service. Get in touch today to find out more!

I finally got those photos Nancy took in Burlington sent to me! I'm excited because this will give you a little bit of a better idea of what we did other than party, which included relaxing on North Beach and walking through Church Street to look at an art gallery and fill our bellies with some good eats. I've called this post "Take 1" because I'm heading back this weekend! I'm so excited because it's a great place, I hope you guys make it someday!

DIY: Feather Earrings
First it was feathers in the hair, now it's feathers everywhere! Two years ago I came back from a visit to Boulder with these particular feathers in my hair and have been planning on getting them put back in, but since I've been too lazy to, I decided tonight I would make them into earrings. I'm pretty excited about the outcome! Here's how you can make some yourself:
- wire cutters
- round-nose pliers
- chain-nose pliers
- 2 crimps
- 2 earring hooks
- 2 earring pins
- 18-20 rooster tail feathers (or any kind of feathers you'd like, make sure they'll fit in a crimp)
- 10 inches 20 gauge copper (or any color you'd like) wrapping wire (you can find this at most craft stores, it's very inexpensive)
- beads of your choice (I used two glass green beads and 4 copper-colored pony beads)
Step by step:
(1) create the beaded part of the earring by putting the beads on the earring pins. next, put use your round-nose pliers to make a loop at one end, cut off the head of the pin using the wire cutters, and make a loop on that end as well. cut off any excess. (2) next, take your feathers and bunch them together. put the crimp around the ends, and pinch it together about half an inch down from the top. (3) using your wire cutters, cut the wrapping wire in half so you have two 5″ pieces. starting just underneath the crimp, wrap the wire around the feathers until you reach the top of them using your chain-nose pliers. [this part can be a little bit difficult; if you don't have any experience you may want to use a thinner wire, possibly a 22 or 24 gauge one. if so, you will need a longer piece of wire. cut 10″ per earring to be safe and trim off any excess.] once you reach the top of the feathers, use your round-nose pliers to create a loop. trim off any excess. (4) open the top loop of the beaded part of the earrings and attach one to each earring hook. (5) open the bottom loop of the beaded part of the earrings and attach to the feather loops. (6) repeat steps 1-5 for the second earring. (7) admire my beautifully painted nails.
Congratulations! If you made it through this relatively simple tutorial, you now have a beautiful pair of feather earrings to sport! If not, don't worry! Either comment on this post to ask for some tips or just retry it again after reading a chapter of your book, watching your favorite movie, or maybe even treating yourself to a margarita. Give yourself a break and come back to it.
I love these earrings because not only do they make it look as if I have feathers back in my hair, but I can wear them both together or just one at a time! Also, they're only in when I want them to be. Enjoy 🙂
Rolling Hills
I've been living in Hamilton, MA since I was eight years old. Although it's a small suburb and while in high school I complained more than once about having nothing to do, it really is a safe and beautiful place to grow up. The photos below are of someone's personal property, so I've never had the guts to hop out of the car and walk through them, though I have a burning desire to do so every time I pass this farm. I hope you think it's as beautiful as I do!
Sea Kayaking Exploration
My friend Marissa lives on a cliff on the ocean (I know, not a bad life…). Have you ever seen the movie The Proposal? Well, it wasn't filmed in Alaska, but at her neighbor's house in Manchester, MA. That should give you an idea. Anyway, we like to go on all sorts of outdoor adventures around the North Shore, and this time we acquired some sea kayaks and went kayaking around the small islands just off shore. Here are a few shots from Sunday night!
"The Woman With the Tatt…
"The Woman With the Tattooed Hands"
I used to know this woman who had the most beautiful
tattoos on the top sides of both of her hands
she was forty three years old and as far as I know
had never yet been with a man
its not that she wasn't attractive she was beautiful
but its the way that she interacted
she was aggressively passive to the point where she
would of intimidated any mitt that ever tried to catch her
on the right hand she had a tattoo of a nude girl
she claimed it is what God resembled
but on the left she had a mirrored image of the same female
and this one she explained looked like the devil
I remember once watching her touch her own breasts
how the tattoos smiled as they stared down her stomach
as if anticipating would they be allowed to caress
the sweet flower that they both seemed to hunger (sweet flower)
now maybe I was high but it felt so right
heaven and hell both take to this womans womb
it didn't make sense how she could commence
touching herself with me wide awake in the same room
now if I've learned anything in my years (my years)
I learned I no longer believe in surprise (in surprise)
but what happened next damn near stole my tears
the tattoos came alive right in front of my eyes
they both slowly stood up and climbed off her hands
and showed me why she never took some time with a man
they climbed deep inside of this woman's garden
she closed her eyes and she gently bit her bottom lip
I stepped I left and I don't regret leaving
and I'll never forget all the things I saw that evening
a glimpse of religion a piece of coming closer
to understanding more about what intrigues me most
I didn't get turned on I just got turned
I wasn't as aroused as I was concerned
for each one of em I've hurt
and every time I've been burned
I've got a lot to teach but even more to learn
so now I keep my eyes open hoping to take in all I can
about Woman taking in all she can
and for as long as I breath i'll save a seat in my memory
for that woman with the tattooed hands
[chorus: repeat 5x]
There's good and evil in each individual fire
identifies needs and feeds our desires
as long as we keep our spirit inspired
she can bite her bottom lip all she wants

"The Woman With the Tattooed Hands" is an insurmountable piece of poetry written by the great rapper Slug. I'm usually not much of a rap fan, but Slug's poetry tells stories and is backed by catchy beats and great instrumentals. This particular song is one of my favorites, and when he played it near the end of his show at Red Rocks Amphitheater this winter, I just about peed my pants. It's extremely complex with many layers and interpretations. I'd love to hear what you all think of it! Like it? Dislike it? What do you think it means?
Treasure Hunting Take 1: Rowley Flea Market
Today I went to a flea market for the first time! Don't ask me how it was only my first time, but I will certainly be going to more of them soon. It's truly like treasure hunting, but instead of digging through sand, you're sifting through (mostly) crap. There were some great things there today though! I only wish it wouldn't be so much work to get anything to Colorado in August!

Party Hardy: Burlington Style
Sorry I've been absent for so long! I'm mad at myself because I've attempted this blog before and failed to stick with it; I'm going to make up for my absence though by adding more posts. Last weekend, I was in Burlington, VT for the weekend visiting some friends that go to University of Vermont. It's a beautiful town that I encourage everyone to go visit if the opportunity presents itself. I didn't do a very good job of taking photographs, but I did use my GoPro quite a bit and am currently working on an edit for Nancy because it was her birthday! Happy birthday Nants! Here are a few mid-party snapshots.
Settler's Park
Settler's Park is a beautiful park to hike through in the Rockies in Boulder. It's one of my favorite areas of the whole city because it's a short bike ride away and and can be either a short, relaxing hike or an extensive one. On this day we chose the former and just hiked to a spot where we could climb on these rock figures:

NetFlow: The ABCs of Network Visibility
To plagiarize Wikipedia, "NetFlow is a feature introduced on Cisco routers to provide the ability to collect IP network traffic as it enters or exits an interface. By analyzing the data provided by NetFlow, a network administrator can determine things such as the source and destination of traffic, class of service, and the causes of congestion."
Today, NetFlow is usually associated with metadata collection. It is a very useful way to generate meaningful information that a network administrator will be able to leverage to troubleshoot a network issue. From a monitoring perspective, it is essentially aggregated data samples from the network. This makes it different from packet data, which is a copy of the exact data in a packet. With packet data, you get copies of the actual packet, not high level flow data like you get with NetFlow. Both data formats are necessary as monitoring tools are built for only one of these specific formats, not both.
Purpose of NetFlow
The first version of NetFlow was introduced in 1996 by Cisco as a proprietary protocol. It went through some important milestones like version 5 (in 2009). It was later harmonized with the IETF Internet Protocol Flow Information Export (IPFIX) standard and versions 9 and 10 of NetFlow now support IPFIX. Version 5 and 9 are probably the most ubiquitous versions today. They are used in many network routers and switches. IPFIX, which introduced user defined flow keys, was an important improvement.
NetFlow works by having devices, like network routing equipment and monitoring equipment (e.g. network packet brokers) that are called "exporters or generators", create the NetFlow data and forward it to other devices, called "collectors" (typically dashboards like Splunk or something), that compile the data into meaningful information.
The following parameters form the basic subset of information contained within NetFlow data:
- Ingress interface (SNMP index)
- Source IP address
- Destination IP address
- IP protocol
- Source port for UDP and TCP (0 for other protocols)
- Destination port for UDP and TCP, type and code for ICMP, or 0 for other protocols
- IP Type of service
Typical Use Cases
A typical monitoring setup using NetFlow consists of three main components:
- The "flow exporter" which aggregates packets into flows and exports flow records toward flow collectors
- The "flow collector" responsible for reception, storage and pre-processing of flow data received from the flow exporter
- And the analyzing application which will complete advanced flow processing to detect intrusion detection for example.
When implemented, these components allow you to enhance the following efforts:
- Reduce network and application troubleshooting time and effort
- Discover indicators of compromise that can help you improve your threat detection process
- Conduct application-level filtering
- Improve regulatory compliance initiatives
- Maximize performance monitoring efforts
Here are some things to keep in mind when considering NetFlow-based monitoring solutions.
What NetFlow versions does your equipment support? – NetFlow variations occurred as the versions progressed. There are differences between version 5 and version 9 (which supports IPFIX protocol mentioned earlier). Version 9 also introduced user defined flow keys, which was a major enhancement and allows for additional NetFlow information, i.e. extensions to NetFlow to be created by vendors.
For instance, Ixia solutions like the Advanced and Threat Intelligence Processor product, using something called IxFlow (created by Ixia) that supports the following extensions to NetFlow:
- The operating system
- User browser type
- User device type (handheld, laptop…)
- Geo-location information (Country code, client and server city, etc.)
- Application information (name and ID)
- Service provider
Make sure you have the right equipment (infrastructure, packet brokers, and monitoring tools) that supports the NetFlow version you want to use.
Your monitoring needs – What problems are you trying to solve and what data do you need? For instance, do you need flow data or packet data? Do you need both? Do you need geo-location and other additional NetFlow data that are extensions to the basic protocol? These are the questions you need to ask yourself.

News Releases
November 1, 2016: Pair Charged With Murder in Fatal Attack Outside Hollywood Nightclub
Two men were charged today with murder for a fatal beating outside a Hollywood nightclub over the weekend, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced.
Dietrich Canterberry (12/20/81) and Cordell Shields (3/25/81) were each charged in case BA451429 with one count of murder. Shields also faces one count each of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury and battery. Both men are expected to be arraigned today in Department 30 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center.
At about 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 30, a dispute erupted outside a nightclub near Hollywood and Cahuenga boulevards. Shields is accused of punching Laporscha Marks in the face as she tried to get into a car.
Prosecutors said her brother, Devion Jelkes, was running toward his sister when he was allegedly attacked by defendants. Jelkes was taken to a nearby hospital where he died.
If convicted as charged, Shields faces 26 years to life in state prison, while Canterberry faces a possible 25-to-life term.
The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.

I was clueless. In my zealousness to discover myself, I thought the rush of enthusiasm and euphoria was self discovery. Alas!When the highs of these pretty emotions dissipated, my burning drive died down to a barely there flicker and my determination became a vague memory. I couldn't see where this road took me, I couldn't see anything at all. So, I placed one foot after the other, occasionally stopping dead in my tracks when my mind would play eerie tricks of the past on me.
Every now and then, I'd find a fork in the road and a lone traveller traversing his path. We'd get acquainted and let stories temporarily blur the stark loneliness for a moment. For a moment I think this is self discovery. Alas! As the painful reality dawns upon me, I realize that in my ingenuousness I followed this traveller to whither he can't take me. He continued on his journey, and I stood there confused. It wasn't my journey. What was my journey again? Where- I turn around and try to find familiarity in my surrounding. Where is my path?
I lost my path when I tried to converge mine into his. I reluctantly accept that my path will forever run parallel and won't at any point join up with another. Indignantly, I remind myself that I must not let fantasies get in the way of being honest with myself.
Token of lessons lie with the traveller at the fork in the road,which is why the two paths temporarily meet before continuing on their journey. Maybe they can't converge, but surely they can accompany one another, running parallel to one another?Surely, we can take the fork in the road with us?

Negative items showing up regularly on your credit report can pull down your credit score drastically. Even a single negative entry can get your score down by more than 50 points at times. And the problem with credit reports is that in many cases, a number of negative items that pop up on your report do not actually exist. Even with your actual credit history, maintaining a good credit score is tough. So the moment you see an error on your credit report, you should go about getting it corrected for the sake of your credit score and in order to make your report cleaner and more accurate.
There are two ways by which you can approach a credit bureau to get your credit report corrected. However, before you resort to any of these methods, it is a good idea to double check that what you think of is an error is in actuality an error and not a real part of your credit history.
Method 1: Writing A Letter To The Credit Bureau
Till a long time, writing a dispute letter to a credit bureau was the only way of getting a credit report error corrected. Write to the credit bureau that has reported your error providing the following details:
- Your name
- Your address
- Employment details as listed in the report (for ease of verification)
- Description of the error
- Reason for disputing the error in detail
- Copy of your credit report with the mistake highlighted
- Any documentation that you have which supports your disputing the error
You can send your letter by certified mail to the credit bureau reporting the mistake. Make sure that you ask for a 'return receipt requested', since this will be your proof of the credit bureau receiving your letter on a certain date.
The credit bureau is then supposed to investigate the error reported and make the required changes in your credit report within 30 days. Once the credit bureau has finished its investigation, it will get back to you with the result of the dispute. The bureau is also supposed to send you a free copy of your corrected credit report.
Method 2: Reporting The Error Online
All three credit bureaus now provide the option of disputing credit report items online through their website. Request a free credit report online and you will find that all entries now come with a "dispute this item" button alongside. In case you feel that some information is being erroneously reported in your report, you can click on the 'dispute this item' button and follow the steps provided to report your dispute. This option is quick, efficient and time saving when compared to the traditional method of mailing the credit bureaus.
The websites of the three credit bureaus where you can request your free online credit report as well as their mailing and contact details are listed below:
P.O. Box 740256
Atlanta, GA 30374
(800) 797-7033

Injectable Fillers
As part of the natural aging process, the skin and soft tissues of the face lose volume. Over time, this can cause pronounced wrinkles (such as laugh lines) as well as gauntness in the temples and under the cheekbones. Injectable fillers like JUVÉDERM®, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC and RADIESSE® can target specific deep lines, plump up the lips or restore diffuse facial volume to help you look younger without cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Alexander Nein is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Nashville, Tennessee who is known as a highly skilled injector for dermal fillers. In addition to nonsurgical med spa treatments like JUVÉDERM®, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC and RADIESSE®, Dr. Nein also offers a full range of cosmetic surgery options for men and women throughout the Nashville area. We have patients travel to us from all parts of Tennessee including Franklin, Clarksville, Murfreesboro and other communities.
If you're ready to learn more, please contact us online today, or call 615-327-0201 to schedule your injectable fillers consultation at our Nashville plastic surgery practice.
Considering Injectable Fillers?
Injectable fillers help diminish wrinkles by adding volume to restore a smoother, unlined appearance. Although injectables can deliver impressive results, it's important to have realistic expectations about what you can achieve with dermal fillers. Some wrinkles may be better treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic, while wrinkles seen in combination with significant skin laxity may require facial cosmetic surgery to correct.
JUVÉDERM® is a hyaluronic acid gel filler that adds both volume and hydration to smooth away deep lines and wrinkles like the laugh lines.
While JUVÉDERM® focuses on lines and wrinkles, VOLUMA® XC is designed to increase volume in your cheeks. This FDA-approved injectable gel instantly adds volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss. Look for improved contour, definition and subtle lift to the cheeks that can last up to 2 years!
VOLBELLA® XC offers subtle lip augmentation and can correct the appearance of vertical lip lines. This smooth injectable gel is specially formulated with a lower concentration of hyaluronic acid to treat the delicate area around the mouth, making it an excellent option for combating age-related reduction in lip volume.
More than filling in facial lines, RADIESSE® is formulated of calcium-based microspheres that stimulate new collagen production for longer-lasting results.
Planning Your Procedure
Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Nein is your first step for seeing the best results from injectable fillers. During this time, Dr. Nein will talk more with you about your goals for treatment as well as advise you on which filler he feels can best help you meet those goals.
Your Recovery & Results
Injectable fillers are nonsurgical, so you can plan on getting back to your normal routine right away after your appointment. Sometimes, a minimal amount of bruising or swelling can occur at the injection site, although the risk of side effects is greatly minimized by using an experienced injector.
You should see results from your injectable fillers almost immediately with JUVÉDERM®, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC or RADIESSE®. Although fillers will be absorbed by the body gradually over time, you should enjoy a naturally refreshed look that keeps you looking young and vibrant with the help of continued maintenance treatments.

English Synonyms and Antonyms
Avenge and revenge, once close synonyms, are now far apart in meaning. To avenge is to visit some offense with punishment, in order to vindicate the righteous, or to uphold and illustrate the right by the suffering or destruction of the wicked. "And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian," Acts vii, 24. To revenge is to inflict harm or suffering upon another through personal anger and resentment at something done to ourselves. Avenge is unselfish; revenge is selfish. Revenge, according to present usage, could not be said of God. To retaliate may be necessary for self-defense, without the idea of revenge. Compare REVENGE.
avenge, punish, retaliate, revenge, vindicate
Avenge on or upon (rarely, avenge oneself of) a wrong-doer.

I don't draw conclusions of complicity at all, but clearly they've been incompetent and perhaps they've just simply been out-maneuvered by the Syrians.

Test Series
This was a series to savour with both teams confident that at their best the urn can be delivered back to home soil. This series had many subplots but the most prominent of them all was captain vs. captain, the immovable object vs. the unstoppable force, Smith vs. Root.
England took the momentum into a series billed as the decider after the last 10 series were five a piece. With no Mitchell Johnson on the Australian side, England's dressing room could be forgiven for thinking this tour might be less threatening.
However, as it has turned out so many times on English tours of Australia, constant pressure from the media, a strong Aussie bowling quartet and indiscretions within camp made the task a much taller order.
In no test match were England able to string enough sessions together to put pressure on the Australians. England's graces were saved in part to the weather, an MIA Mitchell Starc and a damp squib of an MCG pitch from another 5-nil whitewash down under.
Congratulations Australia, we look forward to having you back on English soil.
Gillette One Day International Series
In a complete reversal of the Test series it was England who throughout the series took the game to the Aussies, being more aggressive in their standing right from ball 1 (a 90mph bouncer to remove David Warner).
Records tumbled throughout the opening ODI with a monumental 180 for Jason Roy becoming England's highest ever ODI scorer on home and foreign soil.
Other notable mentions go to Jos Buttler's 100 and Tom Curran 5/35.
Not since 2012 have England won an ODI series against Australia, and you would have to go back over a decade to 2006 for the last time England won an ODI series in Australia.
Has the gap between ODI and Test cricket grown so much? Or should the credit be given to England's captain Eoin Morgan, allowing the group to play without fear and to their true potential? We have seen a shift in momentum made by a young team given license to entertain. Long may it continue.
Now with Ben Stokes back in the fold, can England continue to build the momentum into the New Zealand Tour commencing in March? It is always a tough trip to New Zealand to take on the Black Caps in their own back yard, and one an English Test and ODI squad will be relishing.

GO(Pres Girls)
Politics. It's the dreaded "p" word that no one wants bring up during the annual Thanksgiving dinner. It's the topic that is so sensitive people are disgusted by the very word. It's the practice that has so many layers, it's almost impossible to understand it all.
Generally speaking, California is a fairly left-leaning, blue Democratic state. San Francisco is known for having a very liberal viewpoint in comparison to the rest of the country. But what about the Bay Area Republicans?
Because the ideas and principles of liberals are so present in our everyday lives, we have to be consciously aware that THERE ARE conservatives among us. A few weeks ago, a survey entitled "Republicans of Pres" was sent to the student body with various questions regarding the participant's beliefs, their experiences, and their opinions on certain situations at Pres.
We got 44 responses, which represents about 5.5% percent of the student body. Of particular concern is that 35 of those 44, or 79.5%, of Presentation Republicans believe that is very hard to be an open Republican at Pres. Also, not a single one said that it was easy to voice their conservative opinion.
Our survey also revealed that, like Republicans nationwide, many Pres Republicans do not agree on the same issues all of the time. The strongest commonality was that 65 percent of the Republicans at Pres believe that we should have a small government.
However, in contrast to the official Republican party platform, 62 percent of Pres Republicans argue that marriage is for everyone, not just a man and a woman. Everyone has their own individual beliefs and principles.
The 2016 presidential campaign has definitely brought a bright spotlight on the issue of politics. The majority of that attention has gone to the many negatives about certain candidates' personalities, mannerisms, and relationships with other people in their lives.
In particular, Donald Trump has been one of the more controversial candidates in recent memory. Another fact, and a huge issue in politics today, is that many people associate Trump's ideas with the ideas of all Republicans.
Because Donald Trump is so polarizing, he is the punchline to many, many jokes, including some that are mentioned in the classroom. Yes, while some of the things that he says are concerning or even humorous, there are students who see him as a viable candidate. They agree with some of his policies, but not all of them.
Even in the survey, we had a wide variety of reactions to Donald Trump. One student said, "I find it very difficult to discuss my views because everyone thinks that all Republicans love Trump and are racist white people, when in reality most Republicans (at least at Pres) are just as disgusted with Trump as liberal students at Pres."
However, another student says, "I'm really torn because believe that Donald Trump has good ideas in theory, but he is just too extreme to implement them effectively." And the last student says, "TRUMP 2016".Whether a person supports Donald Trump or hates him with a passion, she should not be mocked or villainized in any sort of setting. These statements are all opinions.
In fact, political beliefs are just opinions and perceptions that people form in order to better our country. The term "Republican" has gradually become synonymous with the phrase "Immigrant hater" or "Anti-Equal Rights." One student explains her frustration with the stigma of being conservative: "If I [put my name on this survey], I am certain that everyone would be pissed at me for voicing my OPINION."
Another student adds, "I think the school and its community and even people all around the United States need to put into consideration that people have the right to their own opinion even if you disagree. No one has a right or wrong opinion; that's why we have more than one political party."
The extent to which many Pres girls did not feel comfortable giving their name on the survey suggests that Pres is perhaps not as tolerant as we claim to be. Out of 49 responses, only 7 girls were willing to give their name: 5 of which are seniors. The two other girls were brave enough to say what they felt was right, without concern for the impact that it would have on their friend group.
In the classroom, students can feel especially uncomfortable. The two classes that students didn't feel like they could speak their mind were social studies and religion.
One student brought up [social studies] as a particularly difficult place to express herself: "Girls act like you are stupid if you bring up the other side of a political issue if you do not agree."
Another student noted, "Spanish class often turns into an hour long discussion of how terrible Donald Trump is and how Republicans are both evil and idiotic. Additionally, history teachers rarely maintain a neutral political environment in class."
Yet another wrote, "To give a few examples, my religion teacher and English teacher often act like they're ashamed to live in America, criticizing how everything about America is 'whitewashed', which it's not, talking about how horrible we all are for not letting in illegal immigrants and possible terrorists into our country. They try and make me feel guilty for being white and having food on my plate and a roof over my head."
Students often look to their teacher for guidance, but sometimes, political views conflict and the student is even more discouraged. Said one survey respondent: "One instance that sticks out to me was during a … review session where we touched on different aspects of government. The Supreme Court and the recent death of Justice Scalia came up. Two girls, who happen to be openly liberal, were being very disrespectful to Scalia and rejoicing in his death just because he was conservative. The teacher was standing right next to us and said nothing, which I found to be discouraging, considering that Presentation is a school that promotes the important ideal that all humans have dignity."
While it will not solve an immense problem here at Pres, teachers and students should keep in mind that there ARE others with different views.. Having an opinion is fine, but verbalizing disapproval of a certain candidate can make others feel ostracized and oppressed.
In a school that is trying to promote women empowerment and confidence, we must ask ourselves: "We are living in one of the most diverse areas in the nation, so why do we silence anyone who has a slightly different opinion than ourselves?"

Ascension Observed – April 30th and May 1st, 2016 – Luke 24
Christ is Risen – He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia! Amen.
Christ is Risen – He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia! Amen.
The Ascension of our Lord is one of those Christian Holidays that sadly in this country has become vastly overlooked. Today, no one thinks about the importance of the Ascension – we are still coming off of our Easter high, and we are maybe looking forward to Pentecost. The Ascension of our Lord seems as but a small speed bump on the way. It wasn't always that way. Ascension is properly this coming Thursday (40 days after Easter) – and back in the day you'd get as many people showing up on that day as you might for Maundy Thursday or Good Friday. It's a holiday that's mentioned in the Creed – Who ascended into heaven and sits at the right Hand of the Father, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. That's a lot of the Creed for this day. And the Ascension hymns – today during communion we'll sing "A Hymn of Glory Let us Sing" – one of the great hymns of Christian History. Though we seem to have abandoned it today, in the past there was an incredible focus on the Ascension.
So why? Why was this day considered so important? You sang the answer – On Christ's Ascension I now build the hopes of my Ascension. The idea, the importance, is that the Ascension is the proof that all that Christ has done, all that He has accomplished is good, is complete. See, He's ascended into heaven – at this moment Christ Jesus, true God and True Man – note that, still True Man – dwells in heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. Christ Jesus our Risen Lord, on the day of Ascension, strides through the gates of heaven. As He, as that True Man, is in heaven now, we men, we folks here, know and have the proof that we will be brought through those same gates of heaven on account of Christ. Christ Jesus, our Brother, has won us salvation – in Him Mankind is reconciled to God. See, He's ascended – He wasn't just whistling Dixie when He said, "It is Finished." That's the importance of this day, and it spills out in what Christ teaches the Apostles in our text.
Then He said to them, "These are My Words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." The Old Testament constantly and continually shows two things – it shows the devastating results of sin, and it points to the Savior who would rescue us from that sin. The consequence of sin is all over in the Old Testament – from Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, slavery, wars, exiles, affairs, murder – and all the pain and anguish caused thereby. The Old Testament constantly shows how the world is evil and wicked, and how even those who fear and worship God fall into vice, are abused in this world, are in need of rescue. But whenever there is a focus on these things going poorly, God gives a promise as well. The Messiah will come. He will save. He will crush the Serpent's head, He will reign forever. The Messiah will come and He will win salvation for His people, He will be their righteousness and their God. That is what is pointed to, that is the promise. And what does Christ say? Everything must be fulfilled – everything in the Old Testament that spoke to what Christ would do, from Genesis to Malachi – all of it needed to be done. Jesus is not going to leave the job half done – Jesus isn't going to give things a good start and then leave it up to us to finish the rest. It must be fulfilled – otherwise Jesus still has more work to do, more things to accomplish.
Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, "Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem." And it has been done, it has been accomplished. Christ has suffered, and Christ has risen. The work, the things needed for salvation, everything that is required, everything that pertains to Salvation – accomplished. Completed. Done. And the proof, the evidence of this – While He blessed them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. Nothing more remains for Christ to do in order to accomplish salvation – the sins of the world have been paid for. Every sin, everything you've done, every lingering bit of guilt you have – Christ has paid for that already. Every sin you've suffered, every thing that someone has done to you, every hurt that you've received – Christ has paid for that already. Done. This is the reality that we see confirmed when we consider our Lord's Ascension. There is no sin that Christ has not dealt with. Full forgiveness has been won – and there's nothing more left for Christ to do regarding sin, regarding salvation. It is finished.
This can be hard to believe, sometimes, can it not? This is the way in which Satan attacks us, Satan tries to beat us down. Do you feel lingering guilt for your sin? Do the sins of your past loom large? That's Satan working on you – trying to tell you that your sin is too big, that it still lingers on, that it's not done away with. But Christ has ascended – and that means your sin is taken care of. You are forgiven. Do you feel lingering grudges and hatreds? Do the wrongs of the past that you have suffer loom large? Again – that's Satan working on you. That is Satan trying to tell you that what you suffer isn't taken up by Christ's suffering, that what others have done towards you is unforgivable. Yet Christ has ascended – and so there is no reason for us to bear any grudge towards anyone for anything – all sin is covered. Everything that Christ was to do – it is fulfilled. This is the idea of objective justification – that because Christ has died and risen again all sin of all time has been paid for – there remains no punishment for it. We need not live in fear of our sin – for Christ has saved us. We need not live in fear of what others have done or will do to us – for Christ has saved us. We need not hold on to hatreds – for Christ has died, even for those people who have wronged us. He has died for them, even if they don't know, even if they don't care. It is all fulfilled – see Christ has ascended. Nothing remains, no stone unturned, no sin left uncovered. Christ has done it all and He has done it well. Period. And whenever Satan tweaks us, as He so loves to do, we are to flee to Christ, we are to see and remember what He has accomplished, so that we have peace, so that we live in confidence of our forgiveness, our victory in Christ.
And it is not merely a victory just for us. Christ won this victory for all, and He would have all come to faith in Him, would have us all be in Him. How are they brought to faith? Same way we are. This faith, this growth in the Christian faith, comes by the Word – the Word of repentance and the Word of forgiveness. We who are of the Christian faith – we need this Word preached to us. We need to repent – for we still daily sin, do we not? We still daily let the sins of others affect us, and we use their sin as an excuse or reason not to show love, and so we become even more vile and wretched than them, do we not? When Christ's Word brings us to repentance – when He pulls us away from our selfish desires, when He cools the heat of our anger and closes the book on our grudges – we see what truly remains – that Christ has won forgiveness, and that Christ's forgiveness is the highest reality in our lives. This is why we, we ourselves, need repentance and forgiveness preached to us. And seeing this, knowing this need for repentance and knowing the freeing beauty of forgiveness is what prepares us for service to others in this world.
Christ's victory, Christ's forgiveness isn't just our prize, it is that which He won for all – and when we see it, when we know it – then we are able to speak it, to share it, to proclaim it to the people we know in our own lives. Repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His Name to all nations. There is no great mystery to how this is done, how this happens. God works through His Word – His Word upon the lips and tongues of His people – not only Pastors – heaven forbid that Christ's cross be spoken only in this place by me – but mothers and fathers teaching their children – that is God placing His Word upon His people's lips. Friends telling their friends – that is God at work. Neighbors to neighbor – again, God at work. When you know, when you are focused upon what Christ has done for you, when you see what a benefit it is to you – then you are ready to speak, then Christ has prepared you and given you what is needed. The Word that you speak is not your own Word – it's Christ's Word, the Word that He has given to you, implanted in you, baptized you into, the Word that you have learned, have studied, have grown in, have had placed upon your tongue in His Holy Supper. You merely say what you yourself have received – and the Holy Spirit will work when and where He pleases. And this is where we are at – we are those people who strive to grow in knowledge of God's Word, grow in understanding repentance and forgiveness, and then God will use us to speak it to others. When we understand the depth of our own sin, how it traps and messes with us – we will have compassion upon our neighbor who is trapped in sin – and more importantly, in knowing how Christ has freed us, we will be able to proclaim to them to their freedom in Christ as well. And we can do this confidently – because we know that Christ has done everything, that all is accomplished – when we speak we speak with confidence – Everything is accomplished by Christ – we simply understand what that means more and more, and we speak so that others might understand more and more as well. We speak, hoping that they too will stride through the gates of heaven with us, all following our ascended Lord.
So thus today, as we celebrate the Ascension, we truly celebrate the security of the Christian faith – the fact that Christ Jesus has done all that is required for our salvation and the salvation of mankind – that we live in that salvation confidently – that Christ will draw our eyes off of sin and unto Himself. The fact that this salvation is for all people, and that Christ will be with us when we share this saving truth with others. This is the hope that is shown on this Ascension day – the hope that is ours every day until the Christ who rose to heaven descends on the Last Day to call forth all believers to His side for all eternity. God, keep us in the faith and give us and our neighbors growth in the same faith until that day. Christ is Risen – He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia! Amen.

Can this old gem be brought back to life?
Back in December I was conversing via email with a fellow Basenoter who is very fond of vintage fragrances. It turns out that he possesses a rare bottle of Jean Desprez's 40 Love and this generous Basenoter even mailed me a decant!
40 Love, released in the 1940's, has been discontinued for quite some time. I cannot begin to imagine why; it is a wonderful, soft masculine chypre, somewhat like Dunhill for Men (1934). Both are of the same category but Dunhill steers in a complex direction of soft leather, iris and woods; its lemony opening seems to set a serious tone upon the first spritz. 40 Love is simpler, brighter, it's fun and carefree.
With Dunhill I can picture a reserved, business-minded gentleman in a neatly tailored, worsted wool waistcoat and silk tie…maybe even spats over his patent leather shoes. The wearer of 40 Love, rather, would indeed be a gentleman but dressed in roomy heathered pleat trousers, polo shirt and spectator shoes.
My decant still holds some bright topnotes. I detect orange oil, bergamot and some petitgrain before a neroli-jasmine accord steps forward. At the drydown is some sort of amber base, smooth vetiver, cool moss and a deer-like musk with little civet facets…upon further review, what I detect as civet facets may actually be cresyl notes which were popular back in the day for building white florals like narcissus. Smelled on their own cresyls can come off as something between a freshly run horse and mothballs.
So here's the idea: I want to resurrect 40 Love to preserve its memory and its availability for other frag-heads to enjoy. I'm sending out a tiny bit of this frag for GC/MS analysis. It can be a bit pricey; anywhere from $200 up, depending on how detailed one wants their results. I will then work on deciphering the results and begin the process of reverse engineering the formula. All in all this project can take up to a year.
I want to be tasteful and very up front about this project and its intention of offering a glimpse of a long discontinued fragrance. I'm not in the business of selling knockoffs as my own.

It had been awhile since yo boy got with anything that didn't charge, so I was excited as she talked on and on about her life, her titties bouncing as she swayed her head from side to side. My little man stood at attention, and I excused myself, shuffling my way back to the bathroom.
I pulled a pen out my pants pocket and drew a dick on the clean wall, revealing the ugly truth about the women's restroom.I walked in that nasty motherfucker, the smell of piss choking me as some man with old leather shoes farted behind a locked toilet stall. I looked on the walls, frantically searching for a condom machine. Shit fire, they didn't have no condom machines in the damn McDonald's.
I walked out, past my blind date, who asked me, "So, where you going Jimmy James?"
I stopped and stared at her, at those cock sucking lips, painted hot glitter pink, drawn into an incredible smile like a Mento's commercial. "Baby," I said, staring at those pale mounds of joy, "I'm going to get some smokes at the gas station. I'll be right back."
"Okay," she said, taking a bite out of her double cheeseburger.
I strutted through the glass doors that led into the gas station, past the clerk who stared at me like I was a villain or some shit, and broke into a run for the men's room. I tried to open the door, but the damn thing was locked.
"Open this damn door!" I shouted, my hands pounding on the wood. "This is an emergency!"
"I'm in here," came a muffled voice.
"Man, I'm gonna shit my pants!" I screamed, kicking at the door.
"Fuck off," he said.
"Fine, have that on your conscious then, cocksucker," I replied, rushing to the women's room.
I reached for the door, and the gas station attendant started cussing at me.
"No, no!" he shouted. "No, you cannot go into ladies room."
"Stop me then," I said, opening the door and slamming it behind me. I locked the doorknob and stared around this strange paradise that smelled of peaches and pine forest. It was painted a lovely blue, and there was no boogers on the wall or piss on the floor. I'd never been in anything quite like this. I could hear a Hall and Oates song clearly playing from the speakers. It was magical. Until I approached the condom machine over the toilet and looked into the bowl.
The water was bloody and a green tampon wrapper floated lifeless in the sea of red. I almost threw up but inspiration overtook me. I could feel the sudden artistry bubbling inside, so I pulled a pen out my pants pocket and drew a dick on the clean wall, revealing the ugly truth about the women's restroom.
I reached back inside my pockets for some change and came up empty. Motherfucker, I thought, staring at the 75 cents sign above the quarter slots.
I heard banging on the door, and I got nervous as hell.
"You get out! You get out now!" came the sales clerk's voice.
I could feel sweat trickling down the crack of my ass as I unlocked the door and turned the knob.
"You go now!" he shouted. "You go right n—" he stopped, his eyes widening in surprise.
"You drew dick on my clean wall!" he roared. "I call the police!"
"I didn't draw no dick on your wall," I said.
Man, he was furious. "You drew dick on my wall. Bastard! Get out!"
I stepped out the bathroom, watching him closely, making sure he wasn't going to pounce on me, and got some distance between us. Then I asked him if he had change for a dollar.
"Devil!" he screamed. "I call the police!"
I ran into McDonald's, saw my blind date, and she gave me the sexiest smile I'd ever seen.
I grabbed her hand, lifting her from her swivel chair. "Come on, baby," I said. "Let's leave this dump."
She giggled and let me wrap an arm around her frail little shoulders. I led her out of the gas station and walked her across the street to the ABC Trailer Park.
"You want to come inside?" I asked, all nervous like. It had been a year since I'd been with a woman who didn't charge. "You maybe want to come in for an instant Nestea or something?"
"Sure," she said, pressing up against me. I could feel her soft breasts smashed into my chest, and I'm sure she could feel my dick pressed up against her stomach.
I led her inside, sat her down on my couch and walked to the kitchen, pouring some ice cold Nestea from the frigerator.
I brought the glasses out and sat them down on the coffee table. She was laid up on that couch, her shoes off, and she had some sexy fucking feet. Toenails painted lime green. I took a seat beside her, and she snuggled up to me.
The dream suddenly died. I could smell her beside me, and she had a stank booty.
"So, what you wanna do?" she asked, her fingers dancing up my pants leg.
"I…uh, I'm kind of tired," I said, trying not to breath. Trying not to smell her. She smelled like doo doo and cats. Like the house of a recluse who lives with ten or eleven cats she refers to as her family members.
I reached for my Nestea, trying hard not to gag.
Her hands cupped her breasts. She licked her lips.
"Well, I got to go to bed, sugar," I said, stretching. "I got a long day at the office tomorrow."
"I thought you said you were a writer," she said.
"No, I mean my real job. I got to go to the fast food joint and fry up some burgers, baby."
"Want me to go to bed with you?" she asked, breathing in my ear.
I could smell her ass. It smelled like the showers in prison. I couldn't take it anymore.
"Get the fuck out!" I choked, standing up and pulling her off the couch.
I opened the door and led her outside.
"Bye," she said.
"Bye," I said, watching her as she walked away. Watching that immaculate ass swishing until it was a fading memory in the setting sun.
Maybe I'd call her tomorrow. After she washed that ass off.

Happy Valentines, everyone!
February 14, 2005
Perspective of the Moment
An HTML scale model of the solar system. Gives your horizontal scrollbar a serious workout! Looking at the size comparison, in some ways the Earth is bigger than I gave it credit for...much smaller than Jupiter and the Sun of course, but still. It's the distance of it all that's most inspiring. (And that's 5.5 lighthours to Pluto; the nearest star is 4.1 lightyears away.)
Tool of the Moment
In a bit of tragically last-minute Valentines Daying (for a guy who runs a site called "the Blender of Love" I can be surprisingly unromantic) I found this tool, Tearooms in MA with an option to sort by distance from any given zipcode...pretty cool!

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 20 – There is room to adjust the government's operating expenditure (opex) in line with its commitment to achieve the three per cent fiscal deficit target this year. HSBC Economist for Southeast Asia, Lim Su Sian, said the adjustment was on the backdrop of the impact of falling oil prices on the government's revenue.
"There is room to adjust the opex. Let's see exactly which part of the opex that can be cut back," he said during HSBC's Economic and Market Outlook 2015 here today. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is set to announce a review of the 2015 Budget tomorrow.
The review and restructuring of the budget were made following the weakening of the ringgit and slump in the global oil prices. Lim said while it was very rigid to predict precisely what changes the government would make, there should be a continuity in capital expenditure spending by the government.
"What could happen is that as the government suffers a decline in the revenue from oil, hopefully it will announce a tweaking on the expenditure side so that we could continue this multi-year progress that we have seen over the last few years in consolidating the budget deficit," she added.
Lim said HSBC Bank has lauded the government for addressing the economic matters and did not think the administration was late in its response since oil prices started declining in the last quarter of 2014. "It has been placed in a difficult position as no one expected this steep decline in oil prices. "I'm encouraged that the Prime Minister has come out and is communicating with the investing community…It is better than keeping mum and not doing anything," she said.

Don't miss the Houston Museum of Natural Science's new special exhibition, Fabergé: Royal Gifts featuring the Trellis Egg Surprise. This monumental display invites you to experience the design, artistry, and craftsmanship of the renowned Fabergé workmasters, one of the most famous and historic jewelry firms in the world.
Fabergé: Royal Gifts features over 600 pieces of the finest jewelry crafting and explores the international politics, diplomacy, economics, and innovation that is attached to these prized pieces from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Beginning with the magnificent crown jewels of Catherine the Great, the development of Peter Carl Fabergé's techniques, inspiration, and royal patrons are explored through this in-depth exhibition.
The highlight of the show is the surprise for the Diamond Trellis Egg, an Easter gift from Tsar Alexander III to Tsarina Maria Feodorovna in 1892. This Imperial Easter Egg will be exhibited with the small jeweled mechanical elephant that was the Egg's original surprise gift hidden inside, a reoccurring feature that Fabergé Eggs became famous for. The reunion of the two pieces is made possible by a loan from the British Royal Collection on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen, and it is the first time these pieces have been seen together in over 80 years. Be sure to see them in person at this history-making exhibit!
At Casa Palmas Apartments in Pasadena, Texas, we believe it's important to integrate yourself into the community, which is why we suggest attending this event. Meeting new people, having unfamiliar experiences, and joining neighborhood activities is the key to an exceptional lifestyle.

Snowy Sunday in Beaverton
January 17, 2016
Snowy weather during the first weekend of the year. It seldom snow in Beaverton and when it does it only last a day or less. At least that's how it's been since I moved here. When it snowed a few weeks ago, our surroundings looked really very pretty. Houses, cars, roads were covered with ice. And … More Snowy Sunday in Beaverton

This was our second visit to China, and definitely won't be our last! We absolutely love this country – rich in culture, delicious foods & friendly people.
It may come as a surprise to you that we have yet to experience all the touristy spots of China. No, we haven't visited the Great Wall of China. No, we haven't experienced the Terracotta Warriors. No, we have explored the Forbidden City. Instead, we have experienced many areas of China that we feel truly captures the authentic China.
