We love beauty, adventure, risk, and return. And joy.
When these things become tangible… we have to pass them on. Waxing Poetic puts our hearts into this practice by making jewelry, housewares, and generally splendid things. Sometimes we succeed, and when we do, we share.
Waxing Poetic jewelry, charms, objects, candles, housewares, and general amusements come to you from Carpinteria, California, by way of designer Patti Pagliei Simpson, her intimate coterie of friends and family (sisters in particular): like-minded artists, dreamers, adventurers, and raconteurs. We make things we love, and hope you like them too.
We believe that faith, risk, hope, and joy are inextricably bound, and never mutually exclusive. Adventure and routine are strange, and sometimes lovely, cousins. There is a way to write the lines in between all of us, and in our own small way, we want to make links. If we can make things to share, to pass in between, we can do more than we ever hoped – and then some.
Our jewelry is fabricated by an incredible batch of Balinese craftspersons, truly part of our extended 'family'. These incredible people devote themselves and their lives to beauty, both in action and intent. Somehow we were blessed to have them join forces with us. Our Bali artisans are paid several times more than minimum wage, and treated with respect, dignity, and most importantly, gratitude. We work closely with the Bali wing of the WP family in both refining our designs, and in building aesthetic sensibility based not only on concept, but also on construction, and shared content.
Waxing Poetic believes in community–not just ours, but the overall global adventure version of community. We want to be fair, to be good, and to be grateful. We do our best, but know we can always do better. Much of that better, really and truly, is thanks to you.
Waxing Poetic celebrates the potential for transformation in all of us. Our jewelry pays homage to the journey of our lives: where we come from, what our stories are, and how they have influenced both the world and us.
Celebrate the Journey
We believe in adventure
And possibilities
In great loves and in small (or large) miracles
In wonder and discovery
And in finding those things
Closer than we expected & often
(To our delight and amazement)
Within one another and ourselves
We believe in quests of greatly varying scale
In true heroines and heroes
In honoring our origins as much as finding
(and sometimes writing) our own ways
In paying attention to particular details
& keeping open eyes for the ones we do not recognize yet
as beautiful (but we will)
We believe in leaving markers
In making meaning
In sharing coded messages
In entrusting one another with our hearts
And collaborating on our courses
Through life and everything therein
In being brave enough
to take risks
to ask forgiveness
and to remember to laugh
to ask to help
to love abundantly and often
to be gentle and just
and in all of this to
Celebrate the Journey
WAXING POETIC came into being, as one might expect, by assembly, experiment, love, tradition, and chance. And sisters. Specifically, Patti and Lizanne. But first, some backstory… Patti was the arty one in Joe and Rita Pagliei's brood of four wonderful children: a beauty, a beloved son, a slightly risky and sometimes impulsive artist (guess who?), and a brilliant, holds-it-altogether voice of reason (Lizanne).
Raised by savers (both in the figurative and literal sense) and perpetual storytellers, Patti and Lizanne share a reverence for intimate narratives, invented traditions, saints of all sorts, and the alchemy that happens when these fuse with devotion, wonder, love, and invention. In 2002, in tandem with a variety of other projects, they decided to take a risk, collect some friends, pray, and make a go of it. Waxing Poetic is the ever-evolving result of that process.
Thank you for coming along for the ride.

Biggest Surprises, Disappointments of Early Spring
David Rawnsley
Trouble viewing this page?
The 2010 season is still early, with colleges approximately 20 games into their seasons and high schools just getting started anywhere north of the Sun Belt states. It's not too early, though, to look at some of the top surprises and a couple of the disappointments of the spring as it relates to the June draft.
Both surprise and disappointment are relative terms.
Some big surprises are very well known to scouts and baseball fans, such as the reemergence of North Carolina RHP Matt Harvey as a potential high first-round pick. Others, such as Division III standout RHP Dave Filak or slugging Louisiana high school 1B Hommy Rosado, have not been household names much beyond their own houses until now. But it's always a great story to see a young man dramatically improve his draft status in the games and months leading up to the June draft dates.
While there are plenty of players underperforming, just as there always are, we've chosen to concentrate on a couple of players who are not playing at all and classify them as disappointments this spring. It would be easy to say that top prospects such as RHP Anthony Ranaudo or 3B Tony Thompson have disappointed, but at least they are back on the field after injuries that cost them much of the early season.
10 Draft Surprises
LHP Kevin Chapman (Florida):
It would have been easy to classify Chapman as an afterthought on the young and talented Florida roster before the season, as the 6-4 lefty missed all the 2008 season with TJ surgery and threw only 11 innings in 2009. But Chapman has stepped forward to claim the Gators' closer job (1-0, 1.20, 4 SV), along with showing a consistent plus fastball and sharp breaking curveball. There will be concerns about Chapman's injury history, as he missed most of his senior high school season as well, but no one in the state of Florida has moved further up the draft charts faster than the Miami native.
RHP Dave Filak (Oneonta State):
Filak led Division III in strikeouts per 9 innings last year with 14.86 (6-1, 2.36, 53 IP/88 K's) but still was regarded as only the 15
best prospect in the New York Collegiate Summer League last summer. The 6-5, 220 lb right hander has improved both the command and velocity on his fastball, which has been touching 96 mph early, and his hard curveball is a potential second plus pitch. Filak's strikeout numbers this year are on pace to top last year's; he's K'd 31 hitters in only 15 innings versus 2 walks.
RHP Matt Harvey (North Carolina):
Harvey spent considerable time as the #1 ranked prospect in the 2010 college class after turning down well in excess of $1M in bonus money from the Angels out of high school. His declining stuff, inconsistent mechanics and poor performance for the Tar Heels as a sophomore (7-2, 5.40, 88 H in 75 IP) plummeted his standing in the rankings and in scouts' minds. That's in the past, though, as Harvey is throwing better than ever this spring, touching 98 mph frequently and dominating hitters again (3-0, 1.97, 32 IP/20 H/37 K).
RHP Tyrell Jenkins (Henderson (TX) HS):
Jenkins has long been an attraction to scouts with his 6-4, 185 lb frame and loose and easy athleticism. He's also had his time divided by football and playing a position in baseball. Jenkins has blossomed this spring, boosting his fastball up to 96 mph at times and showing a much improved curveball. Scouts have made repeated Dwight Gooden comps when talking about Jenkins, and while that may be premature for draft purposes, there is definitely some first-round type talk out there.
C Michael Kvasnicka (Minnesota):
Kvasnicka was certainly on the scouts' radar based on his sophomore season with the Gophers (.341-10-63), but that was as a strong-armed right fielder. Although he has caught occasionally in the past, Kvasnicka has moved behind the plate more often this spring and shown scouts that he can handle the position defensively, giving him significantly more value than he would have in the outfield. He's been mentioned as potentially one of the top three or four college catchers in the country for draft purposes. The switch-hitter has been pitched around severely this spring, drawing 16 walks in 21 games versus only 2 strikeouts while hitting .338-4-16.
RHP Barrett Loux (Texas A&M):
Loux was mediocre as a sophomore (3-3, 4.12) and underwent surgery in the summer to remove bone spurs from his elbow, thus entering the spring as a question mark. He now looks like a potential first rounder after a 3-1, 1.29 with 47 K's in 28 innings. Loux has thrown very consistently in the 92-94 mph range with outstanding angle to the plate. He throws both a curveball and changeup that show plus potential and will even mix in a slider at times. Loux's pitchability and maturity on the mound are also pluses, although some scouts are bound to be wary of his recent elbow history.
RHP Donn Roach (College of Southern Nevada):
Roach flamed out at Arizona as a freshman, going 1-4, 7.84 and necessitating a transfer back to his hometown of Las Vegas. Joining perhaps the most talented pitching staff at any level of college baseball, Roach has become perhaps the team's top prospect after his catcher, Bryce Harper. His fastball has been up to 96 mph and he's shown vast improvement on his ability to pitch and work ahead in counts.
1B Hommy Rosado (Barbe HS, Lake Charles, LA):
A broken hamate bone kept Rosado in the shadows of teammate Garin Cecchini (see below) last year, but there may not be a better high school hitter in the country right now than the Puerto Rican native. Rosado has slammed 18 home runs already this spring, many of the tape measure variety, and benefitted from the crowds of scouts coming out to see Cecchini before his unfortunate ACL injury. Rosado will have to overcome the fact that he is a 6-0, 220 lb right handed hitter limited to first base, but scouts say his swing bears an uncanny resemblance to Albert Pujols', not a comparison to make lightly.
RHP Asher Wojciechowski (The Citadel):
Wojciechowski was hardly an unknown, having pitched for the USA National Team last summer (2-1, 2.18, 20 IP/29 K), but he has moved up his stuff to a new level this spring and put himself into first round consideration. The 6-4 right hander has been consistently 93-94 mph for entire outings and his low 80's slider is close to a plus pitch right now. Wojciechowski is 5-0, 3.00 with 47 K's in 33 innings after winning only 3 games last year.
1B Christian Yelich (Westlake HS, Thousand Oaks, CA):
Any number of California high school prospects could fill this spot, as players such as RHP Scott Frazier, RHP Eric Jaffe and RHP Vincent Velasquez have all shot up prospect charts. But the sweet swinging Yelich has come further to convince scouts that he is a sure-thing hitter as a 6-4, 190 lb left handed hitting first baseman with great projection. Talk now centers around Comp/Second Round, whereas before the spring there was little draft talk whatsoever.
Worth Noting:
RHP Seth Blair, RHP Adam Duke, RHP Mike Foltynewicz, RHP Scott Frazier, LHP Mario Hollands, OF Marcus Knecht, RHP Tyler Norwood, 1B Kyle Parker, LHP Rob Rasmussen, RHP Jordan Swagerty, RHP Vincent Velasquez
5 Draft Disappointments
3B Garin Cecchini (Barbe HS, Lake Charles, LA):
Cecchini comes from a serious baseball family and has long been a favorite of scouts both on and off the field. He tore his ACL on a routine play going back into the first base bag on a pickoff throw and has already been operated on by Dr. James Andrews. That unfortunate injury seems likely to send him to LSU, whereas he might have been a top 2 or 3 round selection this year.
LHP Josh Osich (Oregon State):
After throwing only 51 innings in his first two seasons at Oregon State, this spring was supposed to be Osich's coming out party, a chance for his mid to upper 90's fastball to dominate college hitters and propel him into high first round status. Pre-season TJ surgery derailed those plans, though. Don't be surprised if some team still makes a strong run at the Idaho native despite the fact he won't be able to pitch until next spring.
LHP James Paxton (Kentucky):
There are too many levels of disappointment here to even dwell on, starting with the NCAA taking a hard line on one individual when it is common knowledge that virtually all players with pro ability have agents by the NCAA definition. Paxton still had things to prove on the mound despite his turning down $1M+ from the Blue Jays last year. Now he'll have to do it in shorter and stage-managed independent league performances instead of with a talented Kentucky team.
LHP Josh Spence (Arizona State):
The soft tossing but devastatingly effective southpaw turned down third round money from the Angels last year to return to Arizona State for his senior season. He has yet to pitch because of a sore arm, although he has recently starting throwing again with no timetable for a return to the mound. Arizona State hasn't missed Spence, though, as they've started the season 20-0 and have a team ERA of 2.97.
University of Georgia Pitching Staff:
The Bulldogs' pitching staff is loaded with plus fastballs and potential high draft picks, but the team is currently 8-13 with an unsightly team ERA of 8.21. RHP Justin Grimm has been competitive (1-2, 5.16), but has likely dropped out of first round consideration. RHPs Michal Palazzone (3-2, 9.25) and Jeff Walters (0-2, 9.58) are the other two weekend starters, but may have seen their draft hopes evaporate. Strong-armed closer LHP Alex McRee (0-1, 8.38, 3 SV, 13 BB in 9 IP) is in the same boat, and he threw 14 balls in 15 pitches in one appearance. Former top 2011 prospect RHP Cecil Tanner (1-1, 12.27, 20 BB in 11 IP) is faring no better.

Conflitto sociale e incomparabilità dei beni (Social conflict and incomparability of goods)
According to mainstream economics, rational agents choose among alternatives that are supposed to be ranked and compared. This assumption is strongly criticized by sociologists and anthropologists; it may partly hold true only when the commercial transactions sphere establishes a uniform measure: money. But what happens when a community compares social goods supplied by different institutional spheres? The rigorous equalization of any rate of exchange is replaced by a system of conventional equivalences. This system is temporary, since it changes as collective beliefs evolve; it is conflictual, because the "rates of conversion" between social goods often express relations of power among the groups themselves; and finally it is unstable, because individuals tend to develop private "rates of conversion" that are different from the collective ones. This system, despite its fragility, is a crucial tool of reproduction of a complex society. This essay discusses and analyzes some aspects of the issue.

Liverpool have entered the race for Barcelona defender Jeremy Mathieu according to Sport.
The report claims that the French defender is on the radar of Reds boss Jurgen Klopp as he continues efforts to strengthen his defensive options.
Liverpool decided not to renew Kolo Toure's contract and Martin Skrtel joined Fenerbahce last week. To make matters worse Joe Gomez is injured. The Reds currently have just two fit centre backs in Lovren and Matip.
Sport do however, report that Liverpool could face competing from Super Lig champions Besiktas who have made a €7 million bid for the defender.
Barcelona have strengthened defensively signing Samuel Umtiti and Lucas Digne which does suggest that the La Liga champions may to open to offers for Mathieu who is expected to fall down the pecking order.
Besiktas would be able to offer Mathieu first team and Champions League football if he were to join the club next season.
The Black Eagles have made strengthening the defence a priority. Besiktas conceded the most goals in the top three last season want to make changes to their back line with Champions League football around the corner.

Impossible Narration
After just five minutes, I had to turn this book off. The narrator was so irritating and annoyed me so much that I had no idea what the book was about.The fake southern accent was so disconcerting that I could not even concentrate enough to hear the story.
Fortunately I have a print copy of this audiobook and was able to read that. Although it was not the best of Haywood Smith's books I have read, it was ok. A short listing of the rules of etiquette for mothers-in-law, meant to be a humorous piece that was less than stellar. I would give it 3 stars tops The audiobook was spoiled for me by the narration
Anyone else! My personal favorite female narrator is Kate Rudd, but I can imagine Fannie Flagg narrating this book and I know there are others who are terrific with southern dialects..
For me, the narration of an audiobook is a most important aspect of the listening experience. The narration can make or break my overall opinion of any book, sometimes regardless of the quality of the author's writing and the book as a whole. The narration is the additional aspect that I so enjoy when listening to a book. If it's good, the experience is enhanced by the narration
Hopefully writers consider the narrators that are recording their book but sometimes I wonder. To me it is important and poor narration can result in a negative reaction to a book that may be very good. That means both the reader and the writer lose...readers miss a good book and the author does not get credit for their well written book. The majority of the narrators I have listened to were at least ok if not really good. Obviously it makes a big difference to me and I imagine other readers feel the same. Many times while listening to an audiobook it feels like I am part of an audience and the experience is similar to watching a broadway show. It is entertainment that I enjoy with the rest of the audience this is what I love about audiobooks. I feel as if I am being entertained and it's fun and I do not have to think about it like I do when reading a book and I will always enjoy reading a good book. But now I have a choice.
Reading has always been a big part of my life and it has always been a wonderful experience. Audiobooks are relatively new to me and they give me a new and different way to enjoy a book. As an avid reader, both audio and printed books are equally enjoyable, but in different ways. My reading list is pretty much split between audio and the printed version. Some books I prefer to read, others I want to hear narrated. The feature called "whispersync" means I can read and/or listen to a book. It's pretty cool. If I leave off reading on a certain page, i can download my audible recording and it will continue from where I stopped reading the ebook. And vice versa. Love that option.

Consigning Border divisions to history
Initiative seeks to identify local communities' needs
The summer rain was pouring down as I drove along the once familiar border roads. It was evening time in and out of Monaghan and Fermanagh. The colours of the road markings at the verge went from white to orange and back to white again. Ironically, the orange lines told you that you were in the Republic.
Almost all the man-made additions to the landscape speak of two distinct sets of footprints in this place. Every few minutes symbols and signs remind you that you are crossing an international border.
The magnificent community centre at Corcaghan, on the outskirts of Monaghan town, is packed for the launch of the 'Community Sharing Project'. There's a mix of Northern and Southern registrations in the car park. As I sign in, I notice that the names of many of those before me are from Loyal Orange Lodges from Donegal to Armagh.
From the moment Breege Lenihan, coordinator of the Co Monaghan Community Network (CMCN) begins to speak, one realises that this border is deep and there is more to it than road signs. However, tonight in Corcaghan, they are not talking about the burdens of the past, rather the practicalities of the present and hope for the future.
Mary Mullin, chairperson of the CMCN, begins the proceedings with a welcome and then reads out a list of apologies that sounds like a veritable who's who of Border society. Ministers, MLAs, TDs, two bishops, various ranks of lower clergy and local councillors all regret they cannot attend; it is not like such characters to pass up a full hall and a feelgood project.
As the night goes on, though, it becomes clear why the political caste and other representatives of the ruling classes have passed up on the event: things have moved beyond rhetoric, beyond the 'hand of history'; the glitter that attracts them has faded and has been replaced by the mundane stuff of ordinary life.

Background: COPD is a progressive chronic lung disease characterized by pulmonary inflammation. Several recent studies indicate aberrant expression of WNT ligands and Frizzled receptors in the disease. For example, WNT-5A/B ligand expression was recently found increased in lung fibroblasts of COPD patients. However, possible effects of WNT-5A and WNT-5B on inflammation have not been investigated yet. In this study we assessed the regulation of inflammatory cytokine release in response to WNT-5A/B signalling in human lung fibroblasts. Methods: Primary human fetal lung fibroblasts (MRC-5), and primary lung fibroblasts from COPD patients and non-COPD controls were treated with recombinant WNT-5A or WNT-5B to assess IL-6 and CXCL8 cytokine secretion and gene expression levels. Results: Following WNT-5B, and to a lesser extent WNT-5A stimulation, fibroblasts showed increased IL-6 and CXCL8 cytokine secretion and mRNA expression. WNT-5B-mediated IL-6 and CXCL8 release was higher in fibroblasts from COPD patients than in non-COPD controls. In MRC-5 fibroblasts, WNT-5B-induced CXCL8 release was mediated primarily via the Frizzled-2 receptor and TAK1-signalling, whereas canonical β-catenin signalling was not involved. In further support of non-canonical signalling, activation of JNK, p38 and p65 NF-κB by WNT-5B was shown. Furthermore, inhibition of JNK and p38 prevented WNT-5B-induced IL-6 and CXCL8 secretion, whereas IKK inhibition prevented CXCL8 secretion only, indicating distinct pathways for WNT-5B-induced IL-6 and CXCL8 release. Conclusion: WNT-5B induces IL-6 and CXCL8 secretion in human lung fibroblasts via Frizzled-2 and TAK1-mediated signalling. As WNT-5 signalling is increased in COPD, this WNT-5-induced inflammatory response could represent a therapeutic target.

The collaboration with U.S government agencies in the spying campaign all over the world is getting on Google's nerves. This time around, the Canadian authorities are reportedly inquiring Google for being involved in such immoral, anti-competitive, disparaging and anti-trust activities.
The Canadian Competition Bureau has disclosed that it is going to investigate the search engine behemoth for this purpose in May; meanwhile, court data reflects that Google controlled at least a single market involved to search and advertising.
As per The Verge, the figures have clearly displayed that the software and search heavyweight could possibly be a significant partner in handling search outputs to advertise its own products or avoiding information export from the AdWords forum.
If these recent accusations claimed by Canadian Competition Bureau are true to be anti-competitive, then Google has certainly violated Canadian anti-trust laws and will most probably be taken to the court.
The report also notifies that earlier in 2013, Google agreed to bring in a change in its services and practices after making a deal over same allegations by the US's Federal Trade Commission, which do not appear persuasive and trustworthy to the Canadian authorities.

A Libertarian lays bare his support for a Georgia hopeful
Before this weekend, MARTA engineer Derrick Grayson may have been most known in Georgia for using Sen. Johnny Isakson's illness as a fundraising tool.
After it, he's irrevocably linked to what may be the most bizarre event at a political convention so far this year (although 2016 is still young).
Grayson was the longshot political contender who finished a distant second to Isakson in last week's Georgia primary. Spurned by the GOP faithful, the self-styled "Minister of Truth" headed to Orlando this weekend to run for the Libertarian's Vice President slot.
It didn't go so well for him – he eventually withdrew and ended with just a handful of votes – and his effort to block former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld went up in smoke.
The day went even worse for one of his supporters. James Weeks, a Michigan Libertarian, rose to vouch for Grayson. Then he used his two-minute speech to do something inexplicable.
It cannot be unseen.

The Gospel according to Saint Mark, chapter 11, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Et cum appropinquarent Hierosolymae, Bethphage et Bethaniae ad montem Olivarum, mittit duos ex discipulis suis
2 et ait illis: "Ite in castellum, quod est contra vos, et statim introeuntes illud invenietis pullum ligatum, super quem nemo adhuc hominum sedit; solvite illum et adducite.
3 Et si quis vobis dixerit: "Quid facitis hoc?", dicite: "Domino necessarius est, et continuo illum remittit iterum huc" ".
4 Et abeuntes invenerunt pullum ligatum ante ianuam foris in bivio et solvunt eum.
5 Et quidam de illic stantibus dicebant illis: "Quid facitis solventes pullum?".
6 Qui dixerunt eis, sicut dixerat Iesus; et dimiserunt eis.
7 Et ducunt pullum ad Iesum et imponunt illi vestimenta sua; et sedit super eum.
8 Et multi vestimenta sua straverunt in via, alii autem frondes, quas exciderant in agris.
9 Et qui praeibant et qui sequebantur, clamabant: "Hosanna! Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini!
10 Benedictum, quod venit regnum patris nostri David! Hosanna in excelsis!".
11 Et introivit Hierosolymam in templum; et circumspectis omnibus, cum iam vespera esset hora, exivit in Bethaniam cum Duodecim.
12 Et altera die cum exirent a Bethania, esuriit.
13 Cumque vidisset a longe ficum habentem folia, venit si quid forte inveniret in ea; et cum venisset ad eam, nihil invenit praeter folia: non enim erat tempus ficorum.
14 Et respondens dixit ei: "Iam non amplius in aeternum quisquam fructum ex te manducet". Et audiebant discipuli eius.
15 Et veniunt Hierosolymam. Et cum introisset in templum, coepit eicere vendentes et ementes in templo et mensas nummulariorum et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit;
16 et non sinebat, ut quisquam vas transferret per templum.
17 Et docebat dicens eis: "Non scriptum est: "Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur omnibus gentibus"? Vos autem fecistis eam speluncam latronum".
18 Quo audito, principes sacerdotum et scribae quaerebant quomodo eum perderent; timebant enim eum, quoniam universa turba admirabatur super doctrina eius.
19 Et cum vespera facta esset, egrediebantur de civitate.
20 Et cum mane transirent, viderunt ficum aridam factam a radicibus.
21 Et recordatus Petrus dicit ei: "Rabbi, ecce ficus, cui maledixisti, aruit".
22 Et respondens Iesus ait illis: "Habete fidem Dei!
23 Amen dico vobis: Quicumque dixerit huic monti: "Tollere et mittere in mare", et non haesitaverit in corde suo, sed crediderit quia, quod dixerit, fiat, fiet ei.
24 Propterea dico vobis: Omnia, quaecumque orantes petitis, credite quia iam accepistis, et erunt vobis.
25 Et cum statis in oratione, dimittite, si quid habetis adversus aliquem, ut et Pater vester, qui in caelis est, dimittat vobis peccata vestra".
27 Et veniunt rursus Hierosolymam. Et cum ambularet in templo, accedunt ad eum summi sacerdotes et scribae et seniores
28 et dicebant illi: "In qua potestate haec facis? Vel quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem, ut ista facias?".
29 Iesus autem ait illis: "Interrogabo vos unum verbum, et respondete mihi; et dicam vobis, in qua potestate haec faciam:
30 Baptismum Ioannis de caelo erat an ex hominibus? Respondete mihi".
31 At illi cogitabant secum dicentes: "Si dixerimus: "De caelo", dicet: "Quare ergo non credidistis ei?";
32 si autem dixerimus: "Ex hominibus?" ". Timebant populum: omnes enim habebant Ioannem quia vere propheta esset.
33 Et respondentes dicunt Iesu: "Nescimus". Et Iesus ait illis: "Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate haec faciam".
King James Version
1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 ¶ And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 ¶ And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 ¶ And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

I could have the big professionally written bio here, but why don't I tell you firsthand who I am.... After a few years as a kid tinkering around on the keyboard, my mother mentioned there was a guitar sitting in my dad's closet. I pulled it out and there was an instant connection. I took lessons from the start. (Thank you Marlyn Warner for quickly instilling a love of improvising!) Right before I was about to enter Jr. High and play in the jazz band, we found out our school system was dropping their jazz programs. Thankfully my parents decided to take a stand and ran a petition to keep them going. Everything worked out and so began a long stint of playing jazz through college. Between school, jazz bands, and then playing on cruise ships, I've been able to sound like just about anyone I've had to - from Freddie Green to Santana to Clapton. While I still love playing all of those popular tunes, I've always had that hunger to just be me and figure out what Eric Astor sounds like. I moved to Los Angeles to answer that question, and it's been a learning process. From keeping the bills paid to dealing with the infamous 'flakes' you quickly realize that the only way your dreams are going to come true is if you take them into your own hands, stand on your own two feet, and work your ass off. More than four years later, I've been fortunate to work around and with some of the best musicians in the world, and realize that step one is to just go for it. It's been an awesome experience getting this first album together, and I have a lot of friends and family to thank for that (read the CD liner notes people!) I'm looking forward to getting back out on the stage and letting my own sound be heard. See you there!

In Chicago politics, 100,000 voters is a magical figure.
In 1982, U.S. Rep. Harold Washington was asked to run for mayor by a coalition of black leaders who felt disrespected by the administration of Mayor Jane Byrne, who had created a white majority on the Chicago Housing Authority Board. Washington agreed to do so on one condition: "Give me 50,000 new voters, and I'll run."
The registration drive that followed added 100,000 new black voters to the rolls. His demand met doubly, Washington ran -- and won.
Ten years later, a Washington, D.C., lawyer named Sandy Newman was looking to expand Project Vote!, his minority empowerment project, to Chicago. To head the registration drive, he hired a young Harvard Law graduate named Barack Obama. Modeling his campaign after the effort that swept Washington into office, Obama signed up 150,000 voters. He was helped by the fact that Carol Moseley Braun had won the Democratic primary for Senate that March. The black community, depressed since the death of Harold Washington, was once again excited about politics. Obama's effort helped Moseley Braun, too: she won the general election with 54 percent of the vote.
Now Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis wants to repeat that trick. Lewis, who is Mayor Rahm Emanuel's leading political adversary, wants to register 100,000 voters. Her goal: get rid of Rahm Emanuel.
It worked for Harold. It worked for Carol. Will it work for whoever the CTU chooses to run for mayor?

Forgive us, Lord . . . for the things we have done that make us feel uncomfortable in Your presence. All the front that we polish so carefully for men to see does not deceive You. For you know every thought that has left its shadow on our memory. You have marked every motive that curdled something sweet within us.
We acknowledge--with bitterness and true repentance--that cross and selfish thoughts have entered our minds; we acknowledge that we have permitted our minds to wander through unclean and forbidden ways; we have toyed with that which we knew was not for us; we have desired that which we should not have.
We acknowledge that often we have deceived ourselves where our plain duty lay.
We confess before You that our ears are often deaf to the whisper of Thy call, our eyes often blind to the signs of your guidance,
Make us willing to be changed, even though it requires surgery of the soul and the therapy of discipline.
Make our hearts warm and soft, that we may receive now the blessing of Your forgiveness, the benediction of Your "Depart in peace . . and sin no more."

Patchogue-Medford Library gets national award
First lady Michelle Obama gave a Long Island library a national medal for its work in bilingual education, bestowing the award at a special ceremony Friday in the White House.
Patchogue-Medford Library officials said the prize - the nation's highest such honor - validates their efforts to make the facility a critical resource for the entire community.
The 2010 National Medal for Museum and Library Service comes with a check for $10,000 and was given to 10 recipients, including The New York Botanical Garden.
"We are still kind of floating on air," Patchogue-Medford Library director Dina McNeece Chrils said in an interview after the ceremony. "It was the event of a lifetime. You get up every morning and do what you love and when someone notices on the national level that you're doing this, it is absolutely surreal."
The Institute of Museum and Library Services, which selected Patchogue-Medford for the honor, lauded the facility for its work with immigrants such as Zheni Velasquez, who emigrated from Ecuador in 1991.
Velasquez, 48, of Patchogue, was a teacher in her home country but had to clean houses when she came to the United States. She took English language classes at the library and eventually had the confidence to start pursuing a college degree.
A citizen since 2004, Velasquez now teaches Spanish at a Bay Shore community center. She said the library changed her life.
"I took advantage of the courses they had," said Velasquez, who attended the ceremony and chatted with the first lady. "They gave me a tutor so I could learn one-on-one. It helped me a lot."
The Institute also credited the library for its role in helping the community heal after the 2008 stabbing death of Ecuadorean immigrant Marcelo Lucero.

I go into settings and stop the process and kill the program, but before you know it, it is trying to sign in again.

Applik:I 'm going through withdrawals already thinking about not being here for about 2 1/2 weeks soon
Won't you have internet service where you're going? Not that's it really any of my business, but I always take my computer when I travel - which I don't do any more, but when I did. OK. I'm rambling. Need to get busy!
Gillette, WY
No time as we're tied up every day with things to do. Teaching my nieces how to quilt. Yeah right, they couldn't find eye of needle never mind know what to do with needle! Don't have a computer nor internet services at their home. I can't imagine it but, it'll be interesting for me but, like I said withdrawals! Guess now I'll understand how an addict feels coming off of drugs.
My addiction - fabric pheromones and for those that aren't aware of this disease it's brutal if you contact it.
Causes quilter's to purchase ungodly amounts of fabrics.
Pheromones transmit very high pitched sounds heard only by quilter's. They do very nasty mind control thoughts that only quilter's can hear saying more fabric, buy fabric. Totally sneaks up behind quilter's in fabric shops and forces quilter's to buy fabrics we don't need.
Little monster huh?
I'm a Fabri-holic and I have many material witnesses to prove it
Such a relief to know that Spud is OK. Please let her know how much she's missed next time you email her.
Kissimmee, FL
Judy, please add my best wishes to Spud, too. I hope she is enjoying her time doing what she wants. So glad to know she is well!
Judy, Thanks for letting us know Spud's OK.
If you are in e-mail contact, please ask her not to drop out of here. I knew her on anothe forum and was sad when she no longer posted. I was so Happy to find she was here, when I joined!!
I'll miss Spud, but I certainly understand. I became addicted to this site this summer, and once school started in September, I found myself staying up too late at night trying to catch up with this chatty group. After many drowsy drives into work in the morning, I just had to wean myself away. I figure I can say hi on the weekends.
Being a facilitator probably means you can't just choose to come in once or twice a week, so it was all or nothing for Spud. I do hope she'll pop in from time to time to give us updates, even if it's as a "guest" or via email messages to one of the group. I'll miss her humor and her advice.
On the banks of the Mississippi River in north central Minnesota (Brainerd lakes area)
Sorry that Spud won't be joining us with our chats...not sure why she had to drop out completely...would have loved to get a once in awhile update from her as she was so much fun to chat with...I guess she has her reasons and we have to just learn to live without her...hopefully no for long tho

Judy Iliff:Spud has decided to leave QCA for a while. She's doing fine and quilting away.
Judy, please let her know that we love her. The amount of her involvement certainly must have taken up a lot of time, and like money, time needs a budget as well. Wish her happy quilting and happy holidays for us.

I agree Patti. I was off line for a few days with work & when I came on this morning I noticed the ominous silence. There were no fun happy faces. There was no sparkley signature. There was no wit & wisdon. (Present company excepted)There was no cheerleader!
Spud, whatever you are doing I hope it brings you nothing but joy! We all miss you & love you but we want you to do whatever is best for you. We will all cheer YOU on in our hearts.
I've only been here a short time, but really appreciated Spud's cheerleading. However, it is so easy to spend too much time here. LOL, I want to know what everyone is saying and I want to quilt. We need to figure out how to have the forrums "read" to us while we sew. That would be the ultimate!
now that would be a great idea...and the computer can type what we say and then we wouldn't need to stop to type either...haha...I think that is called having a conversation...lol just kidding with you
Helen Bell:

In reality, they have those programs for sight and hearing impaired people. I'd probably sew my finger to the quilt if I had it, though. I can multi-task with the best of them, but I don't think cutting fabric with a rotary cutter, for instance, and answering an e-mail would be real smart!
Hmmmmm, you might be right. don't want to sew thru fingers or cut them off.
I miss Spud too. She definately is the one who holds this bunch of crazy-quiltin' ladies together. I don't like being the only sparkly name, especially since I copied hers!! LOL
Hope is she taking a rest
Nancy D.:
Dear Spud, You are missed! Hurry back.
Nancy D.
Dear Spud, You are missed! Hurry back.
Nancy D.
I agree with Nancy You are surely missed Spud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
Gagoo:I don't like being the only sparkly name
Joyce is sparkly, too, isn't she?

U.S. Rep. Dave Camp released the following statement after reports that President Barack Obama will send about 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan:
"I appreciate that the President has finally made a decision about the path forward in Afghanistan. I hope this gives General McChrystal and all our men and women in uniform the resources they need to succeed in Afghanistan. Abandoning our efforts there would jeopardize American's safety. Clearly, the military and American people deserve a winning strategy that allows our troops to come home and Afghanistan to defend and secure its own people against the Taliban."

Even quality fabric sofas can start to fade, sag, or suffer damage over time. In order to avoid the expense of purchasing a whole new piece of furniture, there are a number of steps you can take to restore your sofa or fabric sofa bed. Understanding the resources available to you as you take these steps can make the restoration process faster, easier, and perhaps less expensive.
Use Stain Removers
Stains come from many sources in a busy household, from wine to markers or juice. If left untreated, these stains can build up over time and mar the appearance of the sofa. When faced with stained fabric, the first step is to attempt to remove the staining using any number of cleaning supplies. Tonic water may remove very new stains. For more stubborn, or older, stains, chemical solutions, such as specialised fabric stain removers, may provide the strength needed to clean the fabric.
Cover with a Sofa Throw
Another simple and inexpensive step to take when restoring a fabric sofa is to cover it with a throw. A throw is a simple blanket or piece of fabric used to cover the sofa in order to keep it safe from the damage and stains that accumulate over time. You may either purchase a throw or create one yourself by following steps you can find online. Throws tend to be loose and fairly casual covers, and can slip off the furniture, so fastening the cover to the furniture with safety pins is a good idea.
Repair Upholstery
Another, though potentially more expensive, option for restoring a fabric sofa is to repair the existing upholstery. Stain removal is a good first step, but sometimes, stains will resist removal, or additional damage, like tears or fading, may require a little more attention. You may consider dyeing the upholstery with a fabric repair kit or fabric paint or dye, but you can also find an upholstery repair professional to fix your furniture. Some will even allow you to supply your choice of upholstery fabric or other sofa material to ensure you get exactly the look you desire.
Replace Sofa Cushions
Cushions that are flat, sagging, or otherwise damaged may benefit from replacement. Many fabric stores will cut your foam to size, allowing you to easily obtain the type and size of replacement sofa cushion you need. The only other step is to remove the old foam and put the new foam inside the covers of the sofa. You may also replace old sofa cushions to refresh the look of the furniture.
Replace Support Webbing
Sagging seats may also be indicative of broken or worn out support webbing underneath the cushions. You can replace the webbing yourself, with a little bit of effort, or you may hire a professional. The process generally requires removing all cushions and padding, and reweaving new webbing into the old space.

The Visionist
About the Book
The Visionist
An enthralling debut novel about a teenage girl who finds refuge --- but perhaps not --- in an 1840s Shaker community.
In this exquisite, transporting debut, 15-year-old Polly Kimball sets fire to the family farm, killing her abusive father. She and her young brother find shelter in a Massachusetts Shaker community called The City of Hope. It is the Era of Manifestations, when young girls in Shaker enclaves all across the Northeast are experiencing extraordinary mystical visions, earning them the honorific of "Visionist" and bringing renown to their settlements.
The City of Hope has not yet been blessed with a Visionist, but that changes when Polly arrives and is unexpectedly exalted. As she struggles to keep her dark secrets concealed in the face of increasing scrutiny, Polly finds herself in a life-changing friendship with a young Shaker sister named Charity, a girl who will stake everything --- including her faith --- on Polly's honesty and purity.

Warren did it. Youngstown did it. So have 100 other communities and 13 states. Now, it's Ohio's turn to consider "Banning the Box."
Two state representatives from Canton, Kirk Schuring, (R, Canton) and Rep. Steve Slesnik, (D, Canton) introduced legislation in February that would make it illegal to ask about a job applicant's criminal record before making a conditional job offer.
"House Bill 56 is intended to ensure that ex-offenders in our state have a fair chance in seeking and securing job opportunities with public employers," said Schuring.
Rep. Michele Lepore-Hagan, (D-Youngstown), is one of the co-sponsors and the ranking member of the Commerce and Labor Committee that has had several hearings on the bill.
"The Ohio Fair Hiring Act will help those who have overcome past mistakes and want to be productive, taxpaying citizens to obtain gainful employment in the public sector," said Lepore-Hagan.
The proposed legislation would allow applicants with felony convictions to get further into the interviewing process before background checks are made. This gives them a chance to be more than just another application immediately thrown into the trash.
This will force public employers to consider people they might not have considered otherwise, said Stephen JohnsonGrove, deputy director for the Ohio Justice & Policy Center, Cincinnati-based non-profit law office, during hearing testimony March 3.
"The most common function of asking about criminal records very early in the hiring process is simply to instantly reject those job applicants," said JohnsonGrove. "The (bill) will be a boon to the 1.92 million Ohioans – 1 in 6 people – who have a misdemeanor or felony record."
Akim Lattermore, 47, of Youngstown is one of those Ohioans. She served five years in the 1990s for aggravated robbery and receiving stolen property. While in prison, she earned a GED and a degree in office administration. Her return home and back into society wasn't easy. She'd get jobs only to lose them after a few weeks when employers learned of her felony status.
"How long are you going to make me pay for a crime I committed when I was a kid?" asks Lattermore. "I have kids, grandkids, there's been 21 years. I've reformed my behavior, I've changed my ways, and I've done everything I can do to be an active participant in society."
She now works with the Mahoning Valley Organizing Collaborate and the Free Indeed prison ministry in Warren, where she advocates for others.
Another advocate is Rebecca Soldan, program coordinator at the Oak Hill Collaborative and program director at United Returning Citizens, both in Youngstown.
"Our justice system was based on the understanding that if you commit a crime, you do your time, you pay for it," she said. "I don't think it's built in that people just need to suffer indefinitely for it. The more people we can put back to work, the better."
That makes sense to Patrick V. Kerrigan, director of the Oak Hill Collaborative in Youngstown. He is also a former Youngstown Municipal Court Judge, who served 13 months for extortion in the late 1990s. The practice of immediately discarding felons from the employment pool is illogical in many ways, he said.
"If you don't let a person coming out of prison have the opportunity to get a job, you are condemning that person to a lifetime of unemployment and desperation – and it's going to lead to further criminal activity," said Kerrigan. "It's a heck of a lot more money to keep somebody in prison than to help him or her on their way to becoming a productive citizen again."
While the proposed law only works for public jobs, Soldan would like to see this spread to the private sector. In 2014, Youngstown banned the box and there were a few hires.
"It is tough in a city that's not doing a lot of hiring," said Soldan. "What we really need is for this to move to private enterprise."
Kerrigan agrees.
"It's more a symbolic gesture, both in Warren and Youngstown, and if you can get the state to do it. The real key is obviously to get it into private industry and convince them to do it."
Many employers say hiring felons would expose them to lawsuits. However, there is protection available.
The Federal Bonding Program provides a $5,000 fidelity bond to protect businesses that hire felons. Also, the federal government offers the Work Opportunity Tax Credits, up to $2,400 per employee with a felony conviction.
In Ohio, the Department of Corrections offers Certificates of Qualification for Employment as well as Certificates of Achievement and Employability. Both attest that a person is suitable to be employed, and protects employers.
"It not only removes the sanctions that limit people from getting certain positions, but it also removes negligent hiring liability," said Soldan. "So if something did happen on the job, the employers themselves would not be held responsible for that employee's actions."
Kerrigan also points out a problem with licensure in the state. There are 750 job classifications that require professional licenses. Felons don't qualify.
"You can't be a cosmetologist. You can't do hair because you have a felony record. You can't sell hearing aids if you have a felony record. The list just goes on and on and on," he said.
So far, the only vocal opposition comes from the Ohio Public Employer Labor Relations Association, which bills itself as a non-partisan group of public employees. That group submitted a position paper at the March 17 Commerce and Labor Committee hearing.
"There is no comparable statute requiring public employers to consider whether to hire minority or women candidates or any other applicants for employment. Forcing specific criteria on public employers will treat applicants convicted of a felony more favorably than other applicants," the paper states.
That group is also concerned with possible lawsuits and the need to rely heavily on legal council in the hiring process.
While limited in scope, the bill would allow more people to work and contribute to society after they've completed their sentences. That's a great first step, said Lattermore during her testimony before the Commerce and Labor committee.
"You want us to pay taxes; we want to pay taxes. You want us to work; we want to work."

ok,i'm off to have a drink with friends,but.............after that i still need figure out a way........
i mean it's not my responsibility,i don't have to,but ..........i need help them ,cause they need me too
Dear Tina, your friend got into trouble(Losing wallet and thing), it's normal. It wasn't the end of the world. Her was at work and you know how bosses treat workers in China...some workers are even afraid to pick up the phone..
Your friend should get her bf suggestion. She would have left the phone as her bf was at work and he could settle this matter after work. First things first, work comes first, it was urgent, relationship is import ant, but not urgent. She was ok, wasn't hurt phisically, she could have left the phone and go to the banks and tell the banks about the loss of her banking cards. Her Bf after work could have helped in his way.
High Priest
Hahahahaha ... I was going to guess that they are (or at least one of them is) about mid twenties to early thirties, and then I thought this is a silly guess, because (of course) they would have to be ... and one (or both) of them is not Beijing local ...
I have a question ... or two ... what kind of work does her BF do? what was he doing when she called?
@ Priest, she was just thinking leaving the phone there is not her first option,and for the loss of money cards thing,she called me later ,crying,said she didn't care,it's just the way her bf dealt with the issue hurt her
and after she came back,they were talking about this,her bf frankly concluded in the end:
I gave seconds to think about the priority of these 2,i think work is more important
@john,yes,i was thinking i probably put too much worry about this than i should...
@dd,he is an investment.....not sure about the right title for it,he was having ameeting with a client
2 wrongs dont make a right.they were both wrong in one way or the other.based on the info u have shared with us her bf did the only thing he could do which was give her a suggestion and in her position there was only 2 things she could do which is 1)leave her phone there(as her bf suggested) or 2)call some friends for help which she did to solve the problem.
now lets see where they were both wrong
her bf was at work and she knows this so what really was she expecting him to tell her or do in a situation like this?what would he have said or done to make her feel ok when he was at work at the moment?or would she have prefered he left his responsibilities in his office and thereby put himself in a bad corner at work cos the hair salon wont let his gf leave?was she in any immediate health danger?i think ur friend wanted her bf to be SUPERMAN.girls expect too much from their bf without considering the consequences the bf will have to face besides she is not a kid who doesnt know how to handle things when her bf is not around or is she gonna be calling him for every little problem she runs into for him to run over and fix it for her?.
her bf was correct in the suggestion he gave her but he fucked up for not calling her back to know what or how she handled the incident without him being there.fucked up for not caring to know if she was ok since the last time they talked which makes me believe he doesnt really care how she handled it .sorry to say but when a guy doesnt really care if his gf is ok or hurt or safe or how she handled a problem she called him about then that relationship is either heading to the end or it has already ended.
i suggest u ask the both of them to be honest with each other and tell each other if they still love and wanna be together cos if the answer is no then they are just torturing themselves making each other think the other is still there for them.if the answer is yes then they got a big bridge to fix in their relationship.
wow,that's a big analysis,steve
for now,i think they need some time ,maybe this break is good...but then this has to be discussed with a compromise
well, girls should never date guys who works for the sell side in the financial industry. They've married to work, and work drains their soul, left only skeleton, flesh and cum to shot :D
dafan,u were taking the risk to mess up with ppl who work in financial field,weren't u ?lol, kind of true with my friend's bf's case, seems he gets up at 5:30 or 6 in the morning and come back home at 9,or later.....
since when did love become a business arrangement or battle field that there should be a compromise?there is understanding and not contracts in true love.love is unconditional,forgives all,understands all,unselfish otherwise its not true love.
