Golf for a Cause
Back by popular demand, the Rancho Cordova Community Classic Golf Tournament tees off for charity on May 6 at Woodcreek Golf Club. This fun-filled golf tournament, presented by the Belka and Hagan Families, along with Velvet Rope Host David Houseman, will be raising funds for five worthy causes in 2017.
How does the Cordova Community Council put these proceeds to work? In 2016, 750 children's bicycle helmets were purchased with this donation, distributed at the Rancho Cordova Fourth of July, and keeping kids safe while riding all year long.

Last year we raised over $60,000 for local charities...
Proceeds will benefit our local community charities!
Cordova Community Council
not only organizes and funds our fun events like the 4th of July celebration, Christmas Tree Lighting and Kids Day - they help organize and promote all of the non-profit groups that directly help the residents of Rancho Cordova. Did you know that Cordova Community Council provides shoes and school supplies for our homeless children within the Folsom-Cordova School District? This is one of the many initiatives driven by the Cordova Community Council.
Jerry Manuel Foundation
helps young athletes with their education and athletic training all while teaching them to be leaders in their communities. Jerry Manuel himself, a Cordova Lancer, went on to play, coach, and manage in Major League Baseball. After a long and successful career, Jerry brought his talent back to our community to mentor and develop young athletes!
Rancho Cordova Food Locker
does not raise funds on their own, still, they quietly have served up more than fifteen million meals to families in our community. Starting out ever so small, as Rancho Cordova has grown, so has the needs of the Food Locker. Each and every week the food locker provides meals to families and over the Holidays - they can barely keep up with the demand! We probably all know someone who has needed the food locker's help.
Rancho Cordova Rotary Foundation
is a humble group who provides scholarships, help to local veterans, help to the food locker and they fund the Dictionary Project locally where they deliver a dictionary to EVERY 3rd grader in Rancho Cordova! They are not a group that likes a lot of recognition for their efforts, they just do good things for our community!
, a Roth Staffing Companies initiative, this year partners with the American Heart Association to help fight heart disease and stroke across the Unites States, including in our own Rancho Cordova.
Our community has always rallied around making a difference. Our hope, is this Annual Golf Tournament will raise a significant amount of funds for these charities that work TIRELESSLY to impact Rancho Cordova and all of our residents.
Please join us in making this a successful and fruitful event for Rancho Cordova!

A few of my friends have been talking about some of the things that God has been laying on my heart for quite some time. One of those things happens to be modesty and the way in which we dress in current society.
First and foremost I have to say that this is an issue that each person should think about on their own. I am simply expressing how God changed our hearts on an issue. This may not be an area of your life that he is calling you to change for Him at this time. Faith is about your relationship with Him, following His lead and while the Bible is the complete infallible word of God, he will use the teachings that he put in their to mold each of us on His timing. NOBODY has mastered every teaching and we all experience the lessons in a different sequence. This just happened to be one that we came upon now and I would like to share it with you. Happy reading!
Brendan and I began praying about modest and what our family should wear about two years ago. Brendan and I had differences in opinion as it pertained to modesty since we first met and it was becoming apparent that we needed to be on the same page. The funny thing to me is that how much we neglect the fact that God is in fact the third strand of rope that is our marriage. He is the rule maker and safety net, the one that loves us most and blesses us with all we have. Yet it always surprises us when we realize a particular area of our life that He does in fact want us to be on His page about, even though we thought it was 'not a big deal.' When Brendan and I decided that we needed to pray about what modest meant to us God spoke to us and knocked us both out of the water.
In our opinion modesty is important to follow God's orders, to bring glory and honor to Him and to our bodies as they are His temple, and to bring glory and honor to our family as we are his vessel/servants/friends/children...The clothing that we wear portrays us to society and even though we all try to 'judge-not' it is impossible not to turn the switch of stereotypes or 'first-impressions etc. when it comes to how we cloth ourselves.
Something that sticks out to me about our foundation that is Genesis is the story about Adam and Eve creating clothing for themselves and then God creating better ones for them because what they thought was "covered" was not sufficient. So that tells me that it is better to be more covered than less.
Another thing that speaks to me not necessarily from scripture, although the scriptures would support this, but from our current culture and my own personal beliefs is that women are beautiful creatures. We are created to bring peace and order to a tough and sin-filled world. We are here to nurture, mother, help, and create. Our image creates a certain feeling in a man, in a friend, in a child. Obviously we know that men are attracted to women and we should know that it is just as much are responsibility to gaurd our brothers from the temptations of lust. Some think it is not important to be modest in front of the same-sex person, however, we want to be as approachable and safe as possible to encourage friendships. We also want to make sure that just as our home should be welcoming in appearance so should our bodies. As Christians we are also called to take into account all of our actions as well as each way that we influence those around us. Arguably the most effective way to learn over the long run is by example. Our example speaks volumes. Everything that we say and do is being watched by all and we need to know how to present ourselves in mind (words), body (clothes), and being (actions).
In the same way we need to make sure that our influence is a good one and not one that would cause another to sin. The Bible tells us it is better to pluck out our eye than to sin with it. That means that sin can occur in the mind by a simple thought or sight. You know the song "be careful little eyes what you see" that speaks to me so much because one sight of things that God detests is sin, and each time we view something that he detests it makes us more and more numb to the guidance of the Holy Spirit that is in us! I would never want my actions, words, or attire to cause someone else to sin. Instead I want to build others up!
Brendan and I were also compelled by the scriptures that describe a woman's clothes to be distinctly different from that of a man. Of course the scriptures from these passages were for written for a specific culture and a church that was quarreling over religious law. The point being that if the arguments over said religious law caused discourse in the body of Christ than they were focusing on the wrong things. The Lord wants us "to agree wholeheartedly with one mind." But again I revert back to Genesis where more conservative was better in God's eyes.
The last scripture that comes up a lot in the modesty debate is in reference to a Woman's hair but for now I will leave that one alone and come back to it later this week.
For now I will tell you what Brendan and I have decided for our family.
1. We will be very careful about what shirts our family wears as far as logos and prints because some just send the wrong message. We will not have belly showing and no deep v-necks. We are still discussing some other parts of this like shirtless men and bathing suits. Although our girls are not going to wear two-piece suits.
2. Girls should wear skirts or dresses whenever possible. We will wear leggings/bloomers under skirts and dresses and are gradually making the switch now. One style we like a lot in the cold is to wear jeans under our knee length dresses. It is fun and feminine. I have recently begun sewing again and I have made the girls a few pinafores that look so cute over a long sleeved t-shirt and jeans or leggings. They love them and they are so much easier to change if they get dirty rather than having to change the whole outfit. They are also rather inexpensive and I can make them out of repurposed clothes/sheets/etc... The point is to be distinctly feminine and Bren really loves the dress/skirt thing.
Have any of your experienced this conviction in your home? Do any of you adhere to the skirts and dresses rule? If so where do you get your clothing?
In switching over it has been very difficult to do all of this as long skirts are not popular and warm clothes for girls that are not jeans and sweaters is also a feat. Thankfully I have been switching over for two years and have found quite a few spots.
One that I found locally is CATO fashions, we have several in the Oklahoma City area and I know that they are in several states.
Here are several others, the first one is my favorite for skirts!
Hannah Lise
and my favorite for bathings suits is here at Black and White Apparel
Modest World
Here is a directory I found of a few links I like
This is a lady named Cathy that custom makes them for you
I am sure there are many more. With these listings and the directory that I listed I am sure you will have a good start for your own search. I would love to know of any others! Thanks so much!

Im always on the lookout for modest clothes for our children. my oldest is very well endowed( for lack of better words) and it is very difficult at the tender age of 13 to find clothes that are modest and don't reveal anything. Most clothes her size are "trashy". So im always searching for a way to cover her as much as possible and usually end up with lots of undershirts to cover what her shirts don't cover. As far as skirts, we were them to our christian meetings and out in the ministry, but not on an everyday basis. We also don't buy things that have characters on them ie. spongebob, spiderman etc. We try to stick to animals and things along that nature. I also shop at CATO and find lots of good things for my girls there and love their clearence racks. It is very clear in the Bible that we are to be modest in dress and not to adorn ourselves with all the extras to draw attention to ourselves....It sets a good example and is always a good witness when we are in the ministry. thanks for sharing...ReplyDelete

(Long Feng enters throne room with several Dai Li agents behind him.)
Long Feng: Now comes the part where I double-cross you. Dai Li, arrest the Fire Nation princess. (the Dai Li do nothing) I said, arrest her! What is wrong with you?!
Azula: It's because they haven't made up their minds. They're waiting to see how this is going to end.
Long Feng: What are you talking about?
Azula: I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing, so you've had to struggle, connive, and claw your way to power. But true power: the divine right to rule, is something you're born with. The fact is, they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne, and which one is going to be bowing down. But I know, and you know. (takes a seat on the throne) Well?
(Long Feng is stunned by Azula's speech, but eventually relents, and kneels before her.)
Long Feng: You've beaten me at my own game.
Azula: Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player.

How To Wear A Claddagh Ring
Do you want to know how to wear a Claddagh ring? Pride in Irish heritage has come roaring back in the past few decades, leading many to purchase traditional Irish Claddagh rings. Because the way you choose to wear a Claddagh ring tells gives observers clues about your romantic status, it's important to get it right. For those who don't know, Claddagh rings are designed to looks like two hands clasping a heart topped with a crown. The hands symbolize friendship, the heart symbolizes love, and the crown symbolizes loyalty. The exact origin of the tradition isn't known, but it's believed to date back over 300 years to a tiny Irish fishing village named Claddagh. Here are some tips about how to wear a Claddagh ring so that you're sending the right romantic message.
- Pointed outward on the right hand. If you wear a Claddagh ring on your right hand with the pointed edge of the heart facing toward your fingertips, you are signaling that you are single and looking for love.
- Pointed inward on the right hand. If you wear the ring on your right hand with the point of the heart facing toward the length of your arm, you are indicating that you are in a relationship.
- Pointed outward on the left hand. Wearing a Claddagh left on your left hand with the point of the heart facing your fingertips means that you are engaged.
- Pointed inward on the left hand. Wearing the ring on your left hand with the point aiming toward your body shows that you are married.
Not only are Claddagh rings a beautiful tradition, but owning one and knowing how to wear a Claddagh ring can come in very handy. If you see an unsuitable man approaching you at a bar, it takes only a moment to transform yourself from a single girl to a happily married woman.

I assume you're talking about "normalized float" samples (like used
in Nyquist and Audacity) with maxPeak=1.0, minPeak=-1.0, what leads
to absolute peak values between min=0.0 and max=1.0, so lg(absPeak)
is always negative.
One of the first things I would try whould look like this:
(scale -1 (s-log (s-abs sound)))

Who is "they"? Can you tell what document? Is it one of the
CCRMA/JOSIII papers? I wasn't able to find out by reading the
mails from last week.
In Nyquist you often have to "compute around the corner", so maybe
we need to re-arrange the formula, but therefore I would need the
complete context of the original paper.
Other ideas: In Nyquist there is e.g. "snd-avg", which can compute
the RMS-power of blocks of samples.

I really wanted to be in that movie as a character! NO! I am still hoping that they are delaying to get me on set for a week to make up for a year of filming. I am hoping this is true. I will be some what disapointed, but that is ok! When Jesus wants something done he will have it done. I am just hoping I am not a burden to anyone by saying this or getting me on set! I am hoping I am going to be in the film as Caroline a sister on knownly to Beth and Sandra and the dad of Caroline's adopted christian and missionary family without knowing it and learns while dealing with the knowing what really happened at the bath tub! Also, Beth and Sandra learn that all three of them are sisters and there dad is going to take them in the missionary family! Shocking! Well! I am hoping this happens! I am just being honest! Not sure if I will get to be in the film or not, but hoping with all my heart!ReplyDelete

1 Response to "Bandh and Harthal…"
There is more to the topic discussed.
You call it by any name HARTAL or BANDH or STRIKE, it is conducted by some portion of interested persons (NOT COMMON PUBLIC) to force their way towards their goal against the person (also NOT COMMON MAN) who is obstructing reaching the goal. In both the cases , requring and refusing, no PUBLIC is involved. It should be sorted by the persons concerned within themselves.
But I am ubake to understand why unnecessarily PUBLIC who are NOT the party for any of the above. Is it that all sections of interested persons, if joined to gether, can disturb the public and their peaceful living because of momentary mass power which gives them an edge to disobey court orders,law of the land and also basic decency of dealing with the public.
Why can't the so called persons involved in the bandh or harthal, deal tha matter by only opposing the activites of the other person concerned (ex. say a group fo workers against the government do anything with the governemt officials whoa re repsonsible for that) and leave the innocent common man undisturbed.
The persons who are parties for such harthal and bhandh should also understand, what ever way they disturb the public, the public are not infavour of theri activities but only tolerate this because of expected attack either oral or physical. However, the particiaptns have NOT Gianed anything form the public who may not be able to sort out thoeri [problem and only GOvernmet officials can do something to them.
In the name of Bandh or Hartal or Strike, let the affected persons do it in a confined manner ONly against thier employer or some others who are directly connceted to their grievances, if any.

The Resident Evil franchise is at a crossroads with rumors of a reboot giving fans new hope, but Milla Jovovich is looking back on the past film series and sharing that it might have had a very different look. The actress reveals she had to fight to keep Michelle Rodriguez from stealing her role on that 2002 debut film.
Milla Jovovich Says Michelle Rodriguez Was Almost Alice In Resident Evil
Refinery 29 reports that Ms. Jovovich almost quit the first Resident Evil film, which would have undoubtedly had a disastrous effect on the future of the franchise. Milla was cast in the lead, but was replaced by Michelle Rodriguez prior to going into production.
Ms. Jovovich recalls that Rodriguez had just filmed Girl Fight and was fast becoming Hollywood's new "it" girl, while Milla had been the favored actress for a few years. She admits her star power was beginning to wane in comparison to Michelle's fresh face at the time Resident Evil was set to go into production. The studio was hoping to capitalize on Rodriguez's rising fame.
Milla had other ideas. Now, as she recollects the incident, the Resident Evil actress says she knows the story makes her sound demanding, but Jovovich points out that she had been promised the lead. She didn't feel it was fair for the studio to go back on their word, just to capitalize on Rodriguez.
Milla Jovovich Gave Her Future Husband Paul W.S. Anderson An Ultimatum
Entertainment Weekly reports that the revised Resident Evil script with Michelle Rodriguez as the lead created a conflict that would ultimately change Milla Jovovich's entire life.
"I ended up reading the script on the plane, so by the time I landed in Berlin I was livid," Jovovich recalled. "I got to the hotel and said, 'We have to have a big talk, or I'm going to be on a flight tomorrow morning.'"
Anderson and Jovovich ended up spending three hours in a hotel room revising the Resident Evil script page by page, putting Milla back in the lead. That time together was what brought the two together, recalls Milla, who began dating Anderson during the filming of Resident Evil.
Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich later married in 2009.
Michelle Rodriguez was recast as Rain in Resident Evil and, although her character dies in that film, Michelle reprised Rain in a later film, 2012's Resident Evil: Retribution.

Latex mattresses feature one of the most current features in mattress textile innovation: latex foam. Latex is the stable dispersion of polymer microparticles, and may be natural or synthetic. But what does this mean for a latex mattress? Latex mattresses are popular alternatives to memory foam, as latex has very similar properties, and is preferred […]

Oh, exams... I've got really important exams in June 2010. Whatever college course I get depends on how I do in them. It's called the Leaving Certificate Examination- although I'm positive it's not called that in other countries (example, the German "equivalent" to the Leaving Cert. is called the Abitur. I don't know about any other countries, lol). Anyways, I've got Christmas tests in 3 weeks, I think (better find out, hahaha)... But I've got next week off- Midterm Break ftw, ha.
No, I probably won't play through the whole thing. I just haven't a clue about what's different now- I mean, obviously the maps are, but I'd like to see the little dialogue changes and such.
Haha. Pokethlons are excellent, but not when I don't understand the rules straightaway. Plus they make the Rom run far too slowly, so..
What exams have you got, may I ask? Is it your final year in secondary school, too?
October 23rd, 2009
Oh yeah; that's the very reason i haven't been on for long these past few days. I have a major test coming up... :-/ So anyway, are you actually playing the entire game? is ANYONE? I mean, sure i too downloaded the rom as soon as it was on for download, but that was just to check it out. I don't think i played more than 15 mins. It's too irritating, seeing so many pictographs...
Yeah, my cell's next to useless now (atleast texts still work!), though i don't plan to repair it till my exams are over...
October 21st, 2009
Oh, that's a pity (that it doesn't read memory cards). I remember before I got a memory card for this phone- it was only for about a week or two, but I was totally lost without one, lol.
Yeah, HG and SS are really spectacular, aren't they? I'd stopped playing for a couple days, but today I got back into it. (long story short, I thought I was having save problems, and I'd had to fight Whitney again, for like the fourth time. But I'd actually gotten to Ecruteak and today I beat Morty. So I might keep going). Although it's really annoying that I can't understand... Whenever I'm asked a Yes/No question, I appear to always give the wrong answer, lol. But obviously that's not the Game's fault, lol. Although I'm not sure as to whether or not I should keep going- it might ruin it for me when I buy the English one, and I don't want that to happen.
So, how's it goin? Anything keeping you busy recently, school/work, etc? :D
October 18th, 2009
Nah, i couldn't get the MeBoy stuff. Though that's cuz my cell phone doesn't recognize memory cards any more...:-( Gotta stick with the Crystal i already have on my cell... :-/ Well anyway, i'm pretty far ahead in that game...
Yeah, i tried HeartGold, it truly was fabulous. The best part, undoubtly is the permanent running shoes. Waiting for the english version! Oh, and your usage was a tiny bit off; the game isn't incomprehensible, the texts in the game were.
October 17th, 2009
I think I've actually tried that, and it didn't change anything- in fact it got worse, it wouldn't even go into the file selection menu. I'd click "choose file to upload" but nothing would happen. Meh, bit of a mystery, I guess. Anyways, so have you gotten Meboy the way you wanted it? I haven't played mine in a while- I got the SoulSilver Rom yesterday, lol. It's awesome! But completely incomprehensible (a word which i'm almost positive I put into the right context there, haha).
October 16th, 2009
Hmm... That is indeed odd... I've uploaded many a picture to the net, and nothing's ever gone wrong... Try updating to the latest version of Opera Mini, and see if that helps.
October 16th, 2009
Ok, well this question relates to both Nokia and Opera mini, so...
On my old Sony Ericsson v630i, I was able to upload files such as simple images, to the internet, via Opera Mini. But on this Nokia 3120, anytime I try, I get a stupid error message saying "Too many file handles open". Would you know of a way to fix this? I'd thought it meant there were too many files in the folder, which was on the memory quick. So I moved it to a folder on the phone memory, where it was on it's own, and still got the same message. So yeah, have any idea how I can bypass this somehow? No worries, everyone I've asked so far has been baffled, so if you don't know then it's ok. Thanks :D.
October 16th, 2009
Sure, yeah. I used to use Opera Mini all the time. Till i started getting charged for it... :-( But i still use it on my mom's postpaid connection, so go, shoot.
October 15th, 2009
Actually, I've a question for you, if that's ok. Do you know anything about Opera Mini? If so, you think you could help me out with something?
October 14th, 2009
Oh, I didn't know any of that. That's quite interesting. It also tells me I can't use VBag to play GBA Roms- it has Symbian in the title, so I guess my phone won't support it. Ah, whatever, I didn't really care for 3rd Gen anyways, lol.
Do go on, if you like, I'm learning alot I didn't know about Nokia/Phones in general. What else can the S60 Symbians do, that ours can't?
October 14th, 2009
Well, actually, it IS possible to transfer saved games. Only with the new version, and only through Bluetooth... Check this out for more details:
Oh, and don't get the wrong impression about Nokia. The ones we're using are S40 (the "Operating System"), are designed to be lightweight, user friendly, and with not too many features. The REAL phones (the S60 Symbian ones) are absolutely amazing. God, i could go on and on about mobile phones...
October 13th, 2009
Oh, I think I know a guy who got one of those recently. Didn't seem too bad, but he only got it because it had higher volume than most phones. O.o
Oh god, I miss Sony Ericsson. My new phone couldn't download a Meboy with Crystal Version, probably for that reason (it was about 1.12MB or something). But then it wouldn't even download Gold, which was only about 453kB! It just wouldn't download Meboy. I got desperate enough that I downloaded a Meboy Builder.zip file (to my phone, lol) and then, as you said, used my Card Reader to paste it in (it's over 6MB).
Haha, for some reason I think Prism has new types too, but I don't know why. I always think they're part of the same series- I don't even think they are, are they? Anyways, yeah, Brown is pretty difficult. I haven't played very far into it, but I plan on, it looks like a great hack. And it's finished, thank God, so there's no starting again to transfer a new version over (btw, it's impossible to transfer Saved games to Meboy. It just doesn't work, I tried several times. It's a pity, because I had a great file on Crystal on the PC, now I've to start again.
Oh, thats terrible! Nokia really aren't great phones. The only reason I got this is because it was cheaper than the Sony Ericsson ones, and supported Opera Mini. Other than that, it's really not that great.
October 13th, 2009
Yeah, that is exactly what i wanted to know. Thanks! I'm, as you mentioned, obviously a MeBoy user, and my phone is the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic (sounds fancy, it's actually plain terrible). /you're now a Nokia user, you might have noticed that it doesn't allow you to install applications above 1MB. You can actually do it (by simply pasting it onto the memory card, using a reader or the Mass Storage mode), but the hole in the ace is that this doesn't allow you to install one version over another, thus making it impossible to upgrade your MeBoy... I'm still using 1.6, while 2.1 has already come out... So, which is easier, Brown or Prism ? I'm sure brown is gonna be really difficult, cuz it has NEW TYPES!
October 13th, 2009
No problem ^.^ . Yes, I'm a Meboy user, lol. I had one on my Sony Ericsson v630i, but recently got a new Nokia 3120. I actually just "built" a Meboy for that today, with all my Roms.
Yup, hacks can be patched permanently- you need an IPS patcher, like Lips (Lunar IPS). Just get the hack IPS Patch, and patch it to a clean Rom (I may be misinterpreting your reply, so if I am then this explanation probably isn't needed).
Yeah, I've got Prism and Brown on my phone now (as well as all the official games).
How about you? Obviously you're a Meboy user, but.. I dunno, what kinda phone do you have? Lol.
October 13th, 2009
Thanks for the reply. That isn't quite what i wanted though. I was aware of the MeBoy Builder, i just wasn't aware that hacks can be patched permanently onto rom file. Should have read about it earlier... Anyway, thanks!
Just curious, are you a MeBoy user?

We had so much fun at this "museum". We easily spent 4 hours here with our 4 year old son and he hasn't stopped talking about it. The best part is that they can touch everything and you don't have to worry about them being too loud or excited. After they run around and play in the different areas (Theatre, Mexico, Indonesia, etc.) they can have some quiet time in the craft room. We spent about an hour there making crowns.
The staff was so friendly, relaxed and seemed to really enjoy their job.
We'll be back! :)

An anime shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup. It's about a gang of theives trying to steal everything that looks valuable and an insane detective who is determined to catch Lupin, the main character of the show, at all costs. Most of the characters on the show basically all look alike: the men are all tall and skinny with bowlegs and the women are tall and thin with big boobs. At first glance, the show looks a little like Cowboy Bebop, but without spacships and inerplanetary travel.

America's Voice
Are you planning a DAPA Dinner in your community? If so, please use this form to tell us about it so we can help make it a success. Be sure to include information about the time, date, and location.
The next few weeks are going to be huge for the immigrant rights movement. On April 18th, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments in the politically-motivated lawsuit that's blocking the implementation of DAPA. We expect that they'll issue their decision about the case in June. If we win, DAPA could be implemented this summer!
In the lead up to the Supreme Court case, we're looking for DAPA eligible families interested in hosting a DAPA Dinner during the week of April 11th. By sharing your story and a meal with candidates, elected officials, or community leaders you can show them why programs like DAPA and DACA are good for our country.
The goal of our DAPA Dinners campaign is to highlight the stories of DAPA eligible families. By inviting a politician to sit down for a discussion on the importance of DAPA, you will help demonstrate that DAPA eligible immigrants are just as American as any other United States family.
America's Voice and/or our partners have already hosted DAPA Dinners with presidential candidates Martin O'Malley, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders as well as Senator Harry Reid, Senator Dick Durbin, Representative Bill Foster, and Representative Ruben Gallego. We would love to help you organize your own DAPA Dinner.
If you're planning to host your own DAPA Dinner, please fill out this form and we'll be in touch.
Here are some photos from recent DAPA Dinners:

Are manufacturing firms moving back to the United States en masse? What is really happening with respect to preferred manufacturing locations globally? This issue has been receiving substantial attention in the popular press and has been the subject of numerous consulting studies. A number of factors have been suggested as drivers of the global manufacturing location decision today. Some of these include:
- The rising cost of fuel and associated transportation costs (Behar & Venables, 2010; Fishman, 2012).
- The rising cost of labor in low-cost countries (Anon, 2012; Fishman, 2012).
- The slowing of the global supply chain due to the shipping industry adoption of slow steaming (Hull, 2005).
- The improving ratio of U.S. labor output/productivity per labor dollar (Anon, 2012; Fishman, 2012).
- The growing concern toward environmental issues (Mueller et al., 2011).
- Real and anticipated volatility in currency valuation (Culp, 2012).
- Increasing theft of intellectual property when dealing in global regions (Clarke, 2012; Riley & Vance, 2012).
- The fast response time and leaner supply chain associated with locating manufacturing closer to the end customer/consumer (Williamson, 2012).
- Perception of quicker recovery in the case of supply chain disruption (Fishman, 2012; Williamson, 2012).
This research uses the results from a survey administered in August of 2012 to gain a better understanding of the drivers of the manufacturing location decision. It also leverages appropriate theory to improve our understanding of these drivers by addressing the following questions:
- What factors have the most influence on manufacturing location decisions for various regions, and which regions are viewed favorably and unfavorably?
- What factors are seen as important drivers of risk perceptions in various regions across the globe?
For this study, the manufacturing location decision is focused on owned manufacturing facilities. Offshoring refers to the locating of a manufacturing facility outside of the company's headquarters region, whereas nearshoring refers to locating a manufacturing plant within one's region.
After a brief presentation of relevant theory and the research method, results are presented. As a part of this discussion, implications are drawn for the relative riskiness of each of these regions, across a number of drivers of risk. Finally, this work suggests several research propositions as well as several areas for possible future research.

Cracking Up, Breaking Down (December 11, 2016 through January 08, 2017) was a group show at The Parlour Bushwick located in south Bushwick on the border of Bedstuy. Featuring New York-based artists Ben Pederson, Jack Henry, Nicholas Cueva, and Alex Yudzon, this body of work alluded to themes of angst, excess and emptiness. The show, recently closed, was curated by Rachel Phillips and Janice Sloane, both of whom are artists. Phillips works in a Surrealistic style, allowing the unconscious to guide her practice. The shapes in her drawings and paintings oscillate between abstract and recognizable forms. Sloane utilizes photography, painting and found objects to construct works of art that suggests themes of aging, sexuality, and healing.
Cozy couches lined a thoughtful selection of eccentric work dynamically arranged in two rooms on the first floor of a townhouse on Bushwick Avenue. Mirrors decorated the walls, and beautiful crown molding adorned the doorways, arches, and ceilings. This setting created an intimate and endearing atmosphere. Using diverse materials and divergent techniques, this body of work suggested a precariousness and unease that reflects the collective state of mind of our generation.
Ben Pederson's colorful sculptures exude a frenetic quality because of his use of overlapping, bright and contrasting colors, the irrational placement of tiny dots, and the inclusion of uneven, tilted elements. When these elements are combined, they invoke the sensation of being on a precipice. Hollywood Nights is composed of cardboard, plaster gauze, and Epoxy clay. Pederson uses acrylic and vinyl paint to create the brightly colored base, which has solid black triangular structures that jut out from it. In Both Times at Once, it appears the sculpture is trapped inside another work. The surrounding bars are painted black at the bottom and vibrantly colored at the top. This work is more suggestive of architectural elements than of an otherworldly form, contrasting to Hollywood Nights. As viewers walk around these works, colors shift and forms re-shape as if they have caught them in a state of transformation or transition. Is it growing or shrinking, contracting or pulsating, transmuting or putrefying? The sculptures suggest organic and synthetic elements, something of this world yet far beyond it.
Also on view by Pederson are tiny bronzes, dubbed Junkfood Trees. They have hand-painted pieces of food at the edges like pizza, chicken wings, ice cream and other fatty foods. These works suggest the success of the fast food market and the excessiveness in which we consume and unconsciously waste.
These themes also could be discerned in Jack Henry's sculptures, column-like structures composed of rebar, Hydrocal, ink, and found objects. A contemporary scavenger, he collects items that are man-made from buildings, ripped billboards, and the side of the road. He collects cultural debris from the places on the peripheral—the places people see but never truly look at. By utilizing the discarded and banal, Henry's work suggest issues of mass consumption and Post-Industrial America.
Henry's sculptures appear to be in a state of deterioration akin to a dilapidated or abandoned building. For the works in this show, the artist assembled dried flowers, straw, plastic tarp, and other pieces of detritus to construct human-size monuments reminiscent of tombstones. The shape alludes to ancient Roman and Mesopotamian burial shrines, calling attention to how the past informs the present and how objects come to stand in for memories. The sculptures are described in Henry's artist statement as "monuments or memorials to cultural disaffection." A sublime beauty is found in the castaway, things that no longer serve a purpose but have a past akin to people.
Nicholas Cueva uses a traditional medium to express a contemporary mindset. His oil and acrylic paintings utilize gestural brushstrokes to create playful abstract shapes that contrast to the areas of raw, unpainted canvas. This technique refers to how we create our own narratives about situations and must fill in the gaps when missing information. Cueva often uses still life and portraiture as a departure point. In American Une, some objects can be discerned; for example, a bent hand in the upper left, a green parrot with a gold chain in the upper right and a glass of wine in the bottom right. An eye and a shape of a face appear to be at the center of the canvas, although the artist has scraped oil and acrylic paint off to make a large void at the focal point. It's as if the face has been effaced by time like a torn advertisement on the street.
The voids are important elements in Cueva's work and function as psychological and emotionally charged spaces. In Pick Nick, the perimeter has recognizable objects like a bowl of fruit, bananas, glasses, a vase, a table, and the middle has been unpainted or erased. The scattered gaps in form and voids at the center become portals, allowing viewers to navigate through the surface of color. The paintings thus become a vehicle for contemplation. The breakdown of the picture plane into fractured shapes suggest the fragmented nature we perceive reality and recall memories—the splintered way we see the world, ourselves, and how we choose to remember it.
Alex Yudzon's photographs are meticulously arranged and draw inspiration from Classical compositions by Old Masters. Yudzon studied painting and art history. The latter informed his artistic practice. He was most interested in iconography, 16th and 17th Old Master paintings and still life, particularly the vanitas paintings. The artist explains the genre "combined semi-rotting food with symbolic objects to emphasize the ephemerality of sensual experience." He often stages fruit and objects, arranging them in front of a backdrop of hand-painted scenes or reproductions of works by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Lucas Cranach the Elder, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. He then photographs the installations straight on. This juxtaposition of the present and past show how the two are inexplicably intertwined. Yudzon's photograph is a contemporary work of art now—but in time they will be viewed as work of the past. His art will be situated within an art historical context and he will become part of a genealogy of artists. Unlike the human body, works of art and artists can be immortalized; they do not ossify and deteriorate with time.
Yudzon creates centralized, triangular arrangements of objects in his photographs. In Campfire, burning candles are staged in the front of a woods scene. The dark, smoky background recalls the Renaissance technique of sfumato. In the foreground, the wax has melted into a sticky web that is repulsive yet mesmerizing. In Papaya Mountain, the semi-rotting fruit is arranged in a pile on a plate that sits on a brilliantly patterned cloth. It is displayed in front of a mountainous backdrop and the shape of the fruit mimics the form of the mountains. The vehement pink-orange color of the papaya contrasts to the subtle blues and grays in the background. He typically photographs an excess of objects as exemplified in Papaya Mountain and Campfire. The artist described his work as having "an anxiety of collapse through overabundance." The excess thus becomes a means to the breakdown. In Cocktail, Yudzon places a lobster arm into a cup. In this work, he chose to focus on a static, singular object, instead of creating a mis-en-scene of objects in a transient state akin to the aforementioned photographs. Light dramatically shines on the lobster vase positioned in front of an endless, faded background. The objects the artist chooses are ephemeral or in a state of decay. The decomposition of the things alludes to the fragility of our body, the entropic nature of life, and the transience of each moment.
Cracking Up, Breaking Down is a stimulating show that touches on contemporary issues and collective anxieties related to an unstable American sociopolitical climate. Several galleries in the area, such as Underdonk's Sister Outsider or Knockdown Center's Nasty Women, have had exhibitions of work that directly allude to the uncertainty and vulnerability our community feels after the shock of the 2016 election results. Social trauma lingers–a term coined by Mary Kelly when discussing difficult experiences and feminism during the 1970s-80s; however, she had come to find a rupture in the continuity of feminism and the avant-garde. This chasm correlates to the social division that both Democratic and Republican parties face within their organizations. This show is particularly important because it a poignant reminder that only after things fall apart can we begin to build something new. The fractured pieces of ourselves will not be the same size nor fit in exactly the same place, but it will be come together and be more durable, stronger, and resilient. Some say there is beauty in the breakdown, but, as I see it, there is a greater beauty in what lies ahead—what we cannot foresee or fathom yet, what is just out of sight.

I was married, had two small daughters and worked as a mechanical designer during the day. My sister gave me a Kathleen Woodiwiss novel, and I fell in love with the past. My nights were changed forever. While everyone slept, I wrote. No more nuts and bolts and machine parts—now my nights were spent conjuring up beautiful, spunky women clad in satins and brocades and the Adonis-like men pursuing them. My imaginings filled with sweaty muscles—which amused my husband—rough ocean crossings, and horse-drawn carriages dashing into the stormy night.
I wrote only one historical and never published it. I quickly moved on to write Package Deal, entered it into a Romance Writer's of America national contest and won third prize for best short contemporary. A dream come true, right? I wish. A chronic illness flattened me. I crawled into bed and spent several years thinking of healing, not writing.
After years of doctors and more beauty sleep than one woman deserves, I have recovered mostly, but not completely. An angel, my niece, sent me a wireless mouse and keyboard and I began to write again. I punched out two more novels, revived Package Deal, got an agent and sold Package Deal, which I'm happy to say reached Amazon's top 20 e-books list this February.
I wrote Package Deal hoping to share some of the wonder along Florida's coast. I'd spend my summers in Daytona beach with grandparents and an aunt and uncle, all of whom were amazingly talented people. As I grew up, I hoped to unearth a bit of their talent and use it for myself.
My life and relationships have resulted in a passion for travel, taking me as close as East Texas and as far as Tahiti, Morocco, Brazil, Japan. I have an affinity for foreign people and places, love the challenge of communicating with others and learning their language and in general… suffer from wanderlust, a curse to bear at times.
As a last resort art major in college (lol), I still paint—mostly scenes from the countries I've visited, play with my Rosetta Stone and pretend I can speak foreign languages, but writing is my true passion. Several trips to Morocco inspired me to write a humorous time-travel mystery, Eyes of the Camel. I plan to work on book two of the series this summer. My visits to my sister in East Texas inspired a humorous crime novel, also meant to be a series, which I hope to place this year and see in bookstores eventually. I've moved from romance to humor, although all my books have romantic elements as does life.
Somewhat of a gypsy, I move around more than most people change cell providers. I am currently in East Texas, again, and plan to live in Florida for several months over the summer, then possibly off to Brazil where I will polish my Portuguese, dig my toes in the sand while I soak in the sun, dance the Samba and write more novels.
Here are some of the places I have lived ~
