How I Commune with God on my Morning Commute6
From Guest Blogger: Ashley LaMar
In about 15 minutes I'm going to be starting my weekday commute to work. My commute looks like this: a 5-minute walk to the train station, waiting 5-10 minutes for the train to arrive, a 25-minute train ride, waiting 5-10 minutes for the bus to arrive, a 15-minute bus ride, and a 5-minute walk to my office. My total morning commute time is 1 hour – 1 hour and 15 minutes and approximately 45 minutes of that is spent either riding the transit system or waiting. What do I do during the time? I read. I used to read a novel on my Kindle but ever since I've discovered the free Olive Tree Bible App I use this time for Bible study.
Note: This is not a sponsored post by Olive Tree, I just love their app and really wanted to share it with you.
I have two faith-based apps on my iPad that I use in the morning. The first is The Christian's Daily Challenge. I read it in the morning when I first wake up before I shower, eat breakfast, and start my day. I ruminate on it and let it sink it while I'm getting dressed for work. Then, when I head out on my commute I open Olive Tree, read the same verse that The Christian's Daily Challenge referred to, and delve deeper into study.
The other day on my commute I was reading through the book of Matthew again and, while reading about the immaculate conception and the birth of Jesus I noticed something that I hadn't paid much attention to before and that was the frequent references to the Angels of God communicating with Joseph and the Magi through dreams. Every time I noticed the reference to an Angle communicating via dreams I highlighted it using the Olive Tree highlight tool. It's actually really cool because you can set different color highlights to mean different things such as highlighting quotes or passages to memorize in yellow and verses about grace and love in pink.
Did you notice the little green arrow at the bottom of the page? Well…there is a ton of special hidden features down there! Just swipe the arrow up and you are able to access related verses, expanded detail on the people, the places, and the topics discussed on that page. You can also click through to check out maps, images, sermons, videos, etc on the people, places and topics. I admit I'm kind of a sucker for Bible maps and I love seeing how the regions discussed in the Bible correlate to the world as we know it today.
If you click on one of the topics the app will bring up a list of other places in the Bible where the same subject is discussed. That is one of my favorite features.
Plus there is a built-in store that you can access from within the app to buy books on theology and Bible history, Christian eBooks, Devotionals, Prayer, and Marriage & Family. A few of my current favorites are:
- Breaking Free Day by Day: A Year of Walking in Liberty by Beth Moore ($8.99)
- A Busy Woman's Guide to Prayer by Cheri Fuller ($14.99)
- Table Graces for the Family by Thomas Nelson ($12.99)
- This Momentary Marriage by John Piper ($9.99)
I love that you can buy the books from the in-app store and, in many cases, the books are cheaper than if you bought them on Amazon.
It's an amazing app for Bible Study and it's perfect for my commute. It allows me to commune with God in the morning as I start my day and again in the evening as I am drawing my day to a close and heading home to my family. I have noticed that I have developed more patience on my morning commute and been less irritable with crowds and delays as I start my day off in a peaceful place. I have also noticed that I return home at the end of the day less stressed and frustrated because I've spent time with the Lord, laid my stresses and cares upon Him and returned home with a joyful heart.
As I mentioned earlier, this isn't a sponsored post and the app is free on all devices iPhone, iPad (like I used it) and Android. It's both Mac and Windows compatible and it is, hands-down, the absolute BEST Bible Study app I have found. If you're interested you can get it here.

What The NIDB Is and How It Has Helped Me0
Guest Review: Abram Kielsmeier-Jones
An underrated but really good Bible dictionary is the New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible (NIDB). Published by Abingdon, the five-volume set is edited by Katharine Doob Sakenfeld and includes contributions of nearly 1,000 scholars.
For a short time the dictionary set is $99.99 in Olive Tree Bible software. Below I offer–from my perspective as a preaching pastor and Bible reader–my take on the set, with a focus on Olive Tree's iOS Bible Study App.
What The NIDB Is and How It Has Helped Me
There are more than 7,000 articles in NIDB. The contributing scholars are diverse in terms of gender, ethnicity, and denominational background–a refreshing mix of voices. The dictionary balances reverence for the biblical text with rigorous scholarship–though the dictionary is rarely arcane.
The NIDB has been eminently useful to me in my weekly sermon preparation. Last fall, for example, when preaching through Genesis, I knew I'd have to make sense somehow of the "subdue" command that God gives the first humans regarding their relationship to the earth. The dictionary's "Image of God" entry helpfully clarifies:
While the verb may involve coercive activities in interhuman relationships (see Num. 32:22, 29), no enemies are in view here–and this is the only context in which the verb applies to nonhuman creatures.
The same article puts nicely the implications of humanity's creation in God's image: the "image of God entails a democratization of human beings–all human hierarchies are set aside."
This sort of blend between technical detail and pastoral application is present throughout the dictionary.
I've also found useful background for my Greek reading. This year, for example, I'm reading through the Psalms in Greek with a group of folks (see here). In the "Septuagint" entry in NIDB I find this:
The 4th-cent. CE "Codex Vaticanus" contains all of the books of the Hebrew Scripture or Protestant OT, and the following material that is today classified as deuterocanonical: 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras, Ps 151, the Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus or Ben Sirach, the additions to Esther (several of which were originally composed in a Semitic language; others of which are original Greek compositions), Judith, Tobit, Baruch, the Letter of Jeremiah, and the additions to Daniel (Azariah and the Three Jews, Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon).
The entry goes on to describe other Septuagint manuscripts, with hyperlinks in Olive Tree to related entries.
iOS Features in Olive Tree
Olive Tree is as cross-platform as a Bible study app gets: it runs on iOS (iPhone and iPad), Mac, Windows, and Android. The app itself is free, and you can get some good texts free, too, so you can preview the app before you buy any resources in it.
I've got the Olive Tree app on Mac, iPhone, and iPad Mini. It's one of the best-executed iOS Bible study apps I've seen. It is visually appealing, highly customizable (especially with gestures and swipes), and easy to learn.
When reading the New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible (or anything else), here are a few features that have impressed me:
You can navigate with "flick scrolling" (how iBooks is set up) or "page scrolling" (like Kindle). This will make just about any user feel at home in the app. Flick scrolling (how you'd navigate a Web page) feels more natural to me, so I use that.
Dictionary entries are easy to get to. You can simply tap on "Go To" and type in the entry you're looking for. The auto-complete feature saves having to type very much on the iPhone's small keyboard:
You can search the entire contents of NIDB by word. If I wanted to see not just the entry for "Septuagint," but every time the NIDB mentions the Septuagint, I would simply type that word in to the search entry bar:
Then I can select a result and read the given entry.
The full-color photos are zoomable. The NIDB contains full-color photographs that help visualize various entries. You can select the photograph and pinch-zoom for more detail.
I've noted this before–there is a great deal of customizable "Gestures/Shortcuts" preferences in the "Advanced Settings" menu. Olive Tree is the most versatile Bible study app in this sense. For example:
- Two-finger swipe left and right takes you through your history within the app. I can swipe between NIDB, and the last NIV Old Testament passage I was reading, and a commentary, and…. No need to go through menus.
- Two-finger tap gets you from any screen to your library; right away you can get at your other resources.
Concluding Assessment and How to Buy
One of my favorite features of Olive Tree's apps is that you can view two resources at once that aren't tied together by Bible verse. It's like having split windows on an iPad. So you can have the NIDB open in the top half of your screen, and a Bible text or other resource open in the bottom half–even to unrelated topics if you want.
The New Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible is about as good a Bible dictionary as you'll find. If you can use it to complement the Anchor Bible Dictionary (also available in OT), you'd be very well set with Bible dictionaries.
Olive Tree has done a great job, especially with its iOS apps. As much as I loved my print copy of NIDB, I unloaded it not long ago since I can essentially carry it around with me now. And getting at its contents is even easier with the enhancements Olive Tree provides.

NICOT Review for the Bible Study App6
Guest Review: Abram Kielsmeier-Jones
Ask a group of pastors, seminarians, professors, or serious Bible readers, "What one commentary series on the Old Testament would you most recommend?" and you're likely to hear: "NICOT." Eerdmans' New International Commentary on the Old Testament blends scholarship with application in a readable and engaging manner. Few, if any, commentary series are consistently this good throughout the series. And I don't know of any other series that has such broad ecumenical appeal.
NICOT in Olive Tree has 23 volumes, spanning 26 biblical books. The bundle includes the 2010 volume on Hosea. The only volume currently in print that is not here is The Book of Judges, by Barry G. Webb (2012). (Judges is not available in any other Bible software at the moment.)
General editor Robert L. Hubbard Jr. writes of the series:
NICOT delicately balances "criticism" (i. e., the use of standard critical methodologies) with humble respect, admiration, and even affection for the biblical text. As an evangelical commentary, it pays particular attention to the text's literary features, theological themes, and implications for the life of faith today.
As I preached through Isaiah this past Advent, John N. Oswalt's two volumes on that book were the first commentary I turned to after spending time with the biblical text. While it was always clear that Oswalt knew Isaiah and his milieu well, the author would find himself swept up at times in praise of the God Isaiah preached. On Isaiah 2:2, for instance, he writes:
What Isaiah was asserting was that one day it would become clear that the religion of Israel was the religion; that her God was the God. To say that his mountain would become the highest of all was a way of making that assertion in a figure which would be intelligible to people of that time.
On that passage's promise of peace among nations, he concludes:
Until persons and nations have come to God to learn his ways and walk in them, peace is an illusion. This does not mean that the Church merely waits for the second coming to look for peace. But neither does it mean that the Church should promote peace talks before it seeks to bring the parties to a point where they will submit their needs to God.
Oswalt is representative of the authors in NICOT, in that he loves the text (and its grammar, history, and background) and loves the God who inspired it.
NICOT in Olive Tree has hyperlinks to biblical references and commentary footnotes, which you can easily and quickly view in the Bible Study (computer) app through the Quick Details corner (by hovering over the hyperlink), or as a pop-up window (which can then also pop out and keep your place in a separate window). It's just as easy to tap a hyperlink in the mobile app.
There are two ways I've used NICOT so far.
1. I use NICOT as my starting point in the main window.
After some time in the biblical text, I have made my way through parts of NICOT by starting from the commentary. I can use hyperlinks to read the verses being commented on, as well as any other references. I can keep a Bible open in the split window and have it follow me along as I read through NICOT.
Using NICOT this way, there are quite a few ways to get around, both by looking up a verse in the commentary, and by navigating its Table of Contents. You only need to use one of these options at a time, but here they all are:
Note that from the Go To drop-down menu, I can keep following the sub-menus till I get to a specific place in the commentary (Introduction to Malachi in the instance above). One could also do this from the Go To item in the toolbar, which allows for both verse searching and Table of Contents navigation.
2. I use the Bible in the main window and NICOT as a supplement in the split window.
This has the advantage of letting me use NICOT as one among multiple resources in the Resource Guide, as shown (in part) here:
In both of the above setups you can take notes in NICOT, highlight, and bookmark your place. You can also do a search on a word or phrase in the commentary, with the results appearing almost instantaneously. One may wish, for example, to find all the times Oswalt refers to the "Suffering Servant" in Isaiah, which is an easy and fast search to run.
In reviewing Olive Tree I have found it to have the most versatile, smooth, and customizable Bible app I've seen on iOS. I write more about the Bible Study iOS app here. The fact that Olive Tree is cross-platform makes it appealing to many. Though the desktop app is well-designed, I would like to see a future update where you can create a saved workspace with multiple resources open in various tabs and windows. That, I think, would take the app to the next level.
But everything is here to help you work through NICOT in a way that you couldn't in print. There are a couple of options (one free and one paid) for Hebrew Bibles, too, if you want to use NICOT in tandem with the original language. (NICOT uses transliterated Hebrew.)
NICOT volumes consistently top the charts of the Best Commentaries site. Preachers and professors, parishioners and pupils will all find much to mine here, as they seek to better understanding the Old Testament and to more faithfully love the God whose goodness its pages proclaim.

Predators forward Gabriel Bourque misses during a shootout attempt Saturday.
- Filed Under
In the eyes of Predators coach Barry Trotz, the ability to simply stand still is a mighty important one to have.
Not standing still just anywhere on the ice, of course, but when it comes to parking oneself in front of the opposition's goal, Trotz has been searching for someone to help fill the role of the injured Patric Hornqvist.
Although Hornqvist is expected to return to action today when the Predators take on Colorado, Trotz believes he's found another player - second-year forward Gabriel Bourque - who's also willing to pay the price near the enemy crease. ...

I posted earlier about my nephew being born at 26/3 on Monday 2/18. He is doing great BTW! Was off the vent and on CPaP after just 12 hours, they started caffeine and he had a brain scan on Thursday which came back clear!
I'm working on a gift basket - or more like gift storage container - that my brother and SIL can keep in the car for their daily trips to & from the NICU which is a good 30 minutes from where they live. I'm thinking of filling with the following but wanted to know if you had other suggestions:
healthy snacks (granola bars, etc)
bottled water
hard candy
breath mints
lip balm
hand lotion
Is there anything else they would find useful?
Also any recommendations on baby books? I saw another post quoting Dr. Suess' Horton Hears A Who and thought that might be cute?

The last and perhaps final working voyage of the tugboat Pathfinder appeared to have been routine and uneventful until it struck notorious Bligh Reef last week on the way home from an ice-scouting mission, the Coast Guard commander for Alaska said Tuesday.
"They were just out on a normal ice patrol," said Rear Adm. Christopher Colvin.
In a telephone interview from his office in Juneau, Colvin said his agency is conducting two parallel investigations into the Pathfinder's collision with the underwater rock, scene of the 1989 wreck of the Exxon Valdez. The Dec. 23 grounding resulted in a spill of a still-unknown quantity of diesel fuel and the disabling of the tug, but no injuries to its six-member crew.
Colvin said the Coast Guard marine safety office in Valdez was conducting a standard marine casualty investigation to determine why the boat hit the rock. A separate administrative review will look into the vessel traffic center in Valdez.
"Naturally, I have the same questions everybody else has," Colvin said. "I just want to make sure that our folks were doing what they were supposed to do, the way they were supposed to do it."
Colvin said he didn't know how long either investigation would take and wasn't prepared to provide preliminary information as it was learned. He said the crew had all given statements to investigators and were cooperating.
"This appears to be an accident. Nothing more," Colvin said.
Crowley Maritime Corp., the owner of the tug, said the boat's master and second mate have been relieved of duty pending further investigation. Colvin said the Coast Guard has not taken action against any of the crew's licenses.
On Tuesday, crews finished draining the remaining fuel from the boat's undamaged tanks and towed it from the fuel dock at Valdez about a mile to a container dock. The vessel, built in 1970, will remain there until it can be assessed for an ocean voyage to a drydock or shipbreaking facility, said Crowley spokesman Jim Butler.
"We're taking a hard look at the extent of the damage," Butler said. "It is an old vessel."
Butler said gauging specialists have been measuring the fuel unloaded from the tug and squeezed from absorbent boom placed around the vessel when it was still in Prince William Sound. The experts hoped to have an estimate of the missing fuel in a day or two, he said. About 33,500 gallons of fuel was in the two tanks gashed open in the collision, but a large portion was still floating in the tanks when they were emptied.
State officials have said the environmental damage appears to be minimal.
Colvin said the Coast Guard had officially notified the National Transportation Safety Board of the collision. The NTSB, which investigated the Exxon Valdez grounding, has the legal authority to intervene in the Pathfinder investigation but won't, said Keith Holloway, a spokesman at board headquarters in Washington, D.C.
The congressional agency picks its marine accidents carefully, he said, because it only has a handful of experts in the field. All were busy with the Dec. 20 crash in San Diego in which a speeding Coast Guard vessel struck a pleasure boat observing a waterborne parade, killing a child.
While the Pathfinder has human scouts to observe ice, the Coast Guard has special radar to do the same. But Colvin said the ice-tracking radar in Prince William Sound has been inoperable for about two months and won't be restored anytime soon.
The failure is the result of an unanticipated software problem that coincided with the nationwide upgrade of the U.S. vessel tracking system, he said. While the radar isn't officially part of the system, it uses the system to communicate with Coast Guard operations in Valdez. When the improvements were made, the radar went dead and there's no money in the current budget to fix it, Colvin said.
But Colvin said the missing radar didn't cause the Pathfinder to make its journey. That's because whenever the radar fails to pick up ice, a tug must be dispatched to make sure the transit lanes for oil tankers are really clear, he said. Before it wrecked, the Pathfinder had not encountered any ice in the shipping channels, making it likely that even with the radar, it would have been sent on its scouting mission, Colvin said.
"That's the weird thing about the ice radar -- if you don't detect anything on the ice radar, you probably have to send somebody out to make sure that there's no ice there," he said.
All Coast Guard navigation aids were working properly at the time, Colvin said.
As it headed out of Valdez, the Pathfinder called the Coast Guard vessel tracking center to say it was leaving the shipping lanes for ice patrol. It skirted Bligh Reef on its left, or port, side and headed west toward Columbia Glacier, the local source of ice floes and bergs. From there, it went to the east to the Bligh Reef side of the lanes, where windblown ice sometimes accumulates.
"They operate near the reef pretty routinely -- that's the challenge," Colvin said. "They were probably a mile south of the reef when they headed north, and apparently it's normal for them to head up on this course."
The Pathfinder crew called back to the Coast Guard vessel center in Valdez that their scouting was done, no ice was found, and they were heading home. They reported the grounding at 6:15 p.m., not long after it happened, Colvin said.

Well done for looking for something else that suited the conditions. The silhouettes are super - and very sharp considering the low light. I would probably prefer it without the dog, and shifted very slightly to the right, but that's nit-picking
Nominating Constructive Critique
Love the comp! The dog makes it more of a family shot, without it it would be more of a romantic shot.

Ahh now me and the lady above Chris disagree, I like the inclusion of the dog it works well, like a "come on you two its me were walking".
Well spotted.
How do you pronounce that name???

The Dorset region
Did you know
Dorset was Jane Austen's home and features in many films?
Dorset's beautiful and dramatic scenery has long made the county a favourite with writers, poets and film crews.
Jurassic cliffs plunge alongside picturesque harbour towns and coastal resorts, providing an impressive backdrop for the many popular Dorset holiday destinations.
Blue Chip Holidays can offer Dorset holiday cottages in many of the county's towns, each of which has a slightly different experience to offer than the next.
Poole has one of the world's largest natural harbours
Portland Castle was built in 1539 by Henry VIII to defend Weymouth
Tours of Thomas Hardy's Dorset are operated throughout the county
Town and island rich in heritage and historical significance
Dramatic Jurassic coast and island scenery
Fabulous natural and sea life attractions
Weymouth town and Portland island are steeped in history. From Roman Galleys to Spanish Galleons the harbour and Island have seen more than their fair share of naval history and Royal patronage.
While Henry VIII contented himself building forts to stave off foreign invasion, George III made Weymouth his summer holiday residence, attracting many wealthy ladies and gentlemen to the fashionable seaside town, and influencing its architecture leaving many magnificent buildings, statues and landmarks.
Blessed with beaches that range from the pebble rich 18 mile Chesil Beach tombolo, to Weymouth Beach's sandy shores, Weymouth and Portland have a great choice of places to visit and enjoy in both the hot summer months and the wild winter weeks.
Add this to miles of stunning Jurassic coastline, a great range of family friendly attractions and a good choice of museums, and you have a surprisingly rich range of activities to keep you busy during your stay in the area.

Worst customer service ever ! So here's my story.. I went in to buy some goldfish for my son I waited 5 minutes patiently hoping someone who worked in the fish department would show up, no one did. I ask a lady who is walking to warehouse if she can have someone help me she says, ill page someone to come help you. Ten minutes pass by no one comes so I see a lady working in the children's clothes department and asked her and she says she can not help me because that is not her department so there's "NOTHING" she can do .. I see another lady walking to the warehouse (the fish department is right next to the warehouse) I ask her if she can please have someone help me it has been 20 minutes and no one has helped me she says she's just a cashier and just to wait by the fish and someone would eventually show up. By that time I was so furious how can an employee not help a customer I mean isn't that their job ? FINALLY half an hour later, the man who works in the department comes and tells me I'm just going to use the restroom ill be back . I didn't know what to say. Idk if I'm exaggerating but this was the worst customer service ever . I wish I could give these rating zero stars

Utewrap The week in Utah sports, June 8-15
While the fate of the NCAA may hinge on the O'Bannon case entering its second week today, there's already been one settlement that will likely earn current and former Utes some extra change.
EA Sports and the NCAA each settled cases over video game licensing that will pay $60 million to up to 100,000 potential athletes, as long as they file a claim. The settlement is the first time the NCAA is paying student athletes for their likeness rights, and possibly is an ill omen for college sports' governing body in its other lawsuits.
Utes football and men's basketball players are likely to get e-mails or mail about how to claim their share of the settlement, which is likely at least a few hundred dollars per player.
It's also worth mentioning my colleague Matt Piper did a story on the U.'s self-reported NCAA violations. Very few are earth-shattering, and some are downright inconsequential. But you can read about them here.
Here's what else was happening at the U. this week:
Women's track and field • Rosalie Waller became the Utes' first-ever All-American in the 800 meters at the NCAA national track and field championships, finishing as an honorable mention. The senior ran a 2:06.45 to finish sixth in her semifinal heat, capping a strong career for the Utes.
On deck: Season over.
Football • Quarterback-turned-wide receiver Micah Thomas is looking for greener pastures, electing to transfer from the Utes rather than try his hand at wideout this fall. Utah also had a team autograph event where fans were excited to meet-n-greet, but still have clearly reined in expectations a smidge for the 2014 season.
On deck • Season over.
Baseball • As Matt reported last week, a bunch of Utah baseball players and recruits were selected in the MLB Draft. This past week, Tanner Banks signed with the White Sox and Mitch Watrous signed with the Padres. The Tampa Bay Rays are looking to sign Utes recruit Spencer Moran, but haven't yet locked him up.
On deck • Season over.
Volleyball • Two Utes are going to compete in China: Shelby Dalton will join the U.S. Collegiate National Team, while Chelsey Schofield will be with the Pac-12 All-Star team. Games start this week.
On deck • Season over.

I've had a lot stronger response for Saturday 12 September for our Sydney LF's meet than the 22nd of this month. So I am changing the date to the 12th and it won't change.
Would you all please pass the word around?
Large Formatters Meet – and anyone else just keen on film
Place: Balls Head Reserve (adjacent to the car park), Waverton
Time: Saturday 12 September at 1.00pm
Options: bring some gear to show off, a wee drink, and lunch (optional)
Please remember this is a drive-only location, and as much as I love a beer, we (I) need to be careful. Also I have no idea what we are going to do if it rains – any ideas?

Bought this for making salt scrubs.
I was drawn to Lavender Harvest Essential Oil Blend by Aura Cacia firstly due to the price. I've been looking to try making my own salt scrubs at home, and a lot of essential oils are very expensive. Lavender Harvest Essential Oil Blend was a good choice for me as I had no idea if my venture would be hit or miss. The smell is lovely, and a little goes a long way.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Lavender I've missed you :)
I ordered Lavender Harvest Essential Oil by Aura Cacia to mix with other oils to make a hair product for a friend. Not only did my order arrive quickly but the scent of the oils as I opened the box made me miss doing aroma therapy. People take for granted the helpful and healthy benefits of essential oils. I most definitely will be a return customer!!!
The scent, the health benefits the fact that a few simple drops is all you need to make something amazing :)
There's nothing I dislike about this item :)

Excellent Service
by Bob , 03/18/2014
We had an immediate and potentially dangerous electrical problem in our home. My son who owns and operates "Remodel, Construction, Improvements" has constantly recommended Brian for electrical help. Well, my son was correct. Brian came in on the very day we called, recognized the problem immediately, and fixed it very well. He is a smart man of character (not a character :-)
Excellent Service!
by Russel , 02/03/2014
Excellent Service! Reliable. The only Electrician that I use. Or need.
Talented with a heart of gold
by Carol , 01/03/2014
I have used Brian several times on large and small projects. He is able to schedule very promptly, arrives on time, calls ahead when he's coming, and his work is perfect. He can handle those nightmares that other electricians can't seem to figure out, and spends time to explain the problem to me. Plus the price is right! Gotta love this guy!
Totally Trustworthy
by oshanaKL , 01/03/2014
I've used him several times, once to clean up shoddy outlet work by another electrician. I have a 100+ year old house with some quirks and I trust Brian completely.
quality and best value
by Parker's , 08/24/2013
Matzen electric did a great job and offered ideas on how to save money without overdoing the job. very knowledgeable.
He does what he says
by kent , 08/16/2013
Not only was Brian on time, efficient and knowledgable, he was a patient and pleasant fellow. We had our overhead service lines buried underground and he upgraded our service panel and added new dedicated lines in our house. We feel confident that our "brown outs" are a thing of the past now.
Excellent Electrical Work But Would Not Honor Price Quote Over the Phone
by Stephan Gerali , 06/25/2013
Brian Matzen did a great job installing electrical outlets and a fan for me. He was prompt, courteous and very professional. I would recommend him for any type of electrical work. My only complaint is that he quoted me a price over the phone and when he got to my house he added 25% to the bill. This is the only reason why I am giving him 4 stars instead of 5 stars. He takes comments seriously so I expect he will correct this service issue in the future.
Friendly, fast, and informative!
by Michael Fowler , 06/21/2013
Needing a "meter release" inspection for my town-home, Mr. Matzen knew exactly what was necessary and was able to arrive at my home to do the necessary inspection the SAME DAY.Approachable, friendly, and informative...It was a pleasure having the work taken care of by him.I will, in-fact, be using him in the future to take care of some new recessed lighting renovations I'm planning on for my kitchen and living room. I would recommend this company to anyone!
Great Work
by Very Satisfied Customet , 05/08/2013
Brian was a pleasure to work with. His company did electrical for a major remodel and then also did a service change on our electrical panel. All work was done with great quality and professionalism. He is quick to respond and easy to work with. Thanks for a great job!
Great to work with!!
by Geoff , 02/28/2013
We have hired Brian and Matzen Electric on several electrical service change out projects and other small electrical repairs. He is always quick to respond to our requests and is very knowledgeable about his trade. As General Contractors it can sometimes be a challenge to find good subs, Matzen is one of the best out there, Thanks Brian!!

Winner of the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography
How to get along with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love—such questions arise in most people's lives. They are all versions of a bigger question: how do you live? How do you do the good or honorable thing, while flourishing and feeling happy?
This question obsessed Renaissance writers, none more than Michel Eyquem de Monatigne, perhaps the first truly modern individual. A nobleman, public official and wine-grower, he wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. He called them "essays," meaning "attempts" or "tries." Into them, he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog's ears twitched when it was dreaming, as well as the appalling events of the religious civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller and, over four hundred years later, Montaigne's honesty and charm still draw people to him. Readers come in search of companionship, wisdom and entertainment—and in search of themselves.
This book, a spirited and singular biography, relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored. It traces his bizarre upbringing, youthful career and sexual adventures, his travels, and his friendships with the scholar and poet Étienne de La Boétie and with his adopted "daughter," Marie de Gournay. And we also meet his readers—who for centuries have found in Montaigne an inexhaustible source of answers to the haunting question, "how to live?"
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
"Serious, engaging, and so infectiously in love with its subject that I found myself racing to finish so I could start rereading the Essays themselves…It is hard to imagine a better introduction—or reintroduction—to Montaigne than Bakewell's book." —Lorin Stein, Harper's Magazine
"Ms. Bakewell's new book, How to Live, is a biography, but in the form of a delightful conversation across the centuries." —The New York Times
"So artful is Bakewell's account of [Montaigne] that even skeptical readers may well come to share her admiration." —The New York Times Book Review
"Extraordinary…a miracle of complex, revelatory organization, for as Bakewell moves along she provides a brilliant demonstration of the alchemy of historical viewpoint." —Boston Globe
"Well, How to Live is a superb book, original, engaging, thorough, ambitious, and wise." —Nick Hornby, in the November/December 2010 issue of The Believer
"In How to Live, an affectionate introduction to the author, Bakewell argues that, far from being a dusty old philosopher, Montaigne has never been more relevant—a 16th-century blogger, as she would have it—and so must be read, quite simply, 'in order to live'…Bakewell is a wry and intelligent guide." —The Daily Beast
"Witty, unorthodox…How to Live is a history of ideas told entirely on the ground, never divorced from the people thinking them. It hews close to Montaigne's own preoccupations, especially his playful uncertainty – Bakewell is a stickler for what we can't know. …How to Live is a delight…" —The Plain Dealer
"This book will have new readers excited to be acquainted to Montaigne's life and ideas, and may even stir their curiosity to read more about the ancient Greek philosophers who influenced his writing. How to Live is a great companion to Montaigne's essays, and even a great stand-alone." —San Francisco Book Review
"A bright, genial, and generous introduction to the master's methods." —Kirkus Reviews
"[Bakewell reveals] one of literature's enduring figures as an idiosyncratic, humane, and surprisingly modern force." —Publisher's Weekly (starred)
"As described by Sarah Bakewell in her suavely enlightening How to Live, or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer Montaigne is, with Walt Whitman, among the most congenial of literary giants, inclined to shrug over the inevitability of human failings and the last man to accuse anyone of self-absorption. His great subject, after all, was himself." —Laura Miller, Salon.com
"Lively and fascinating . . . How To Live takes its place as the most enjoyable introduction to Montaigne in the English language." —The Times Literary Supplement
"Splendidly conceived and exquisitely written . . . enormously absorbing." —Sunday Times
"How to Live will delight and illuminate." —The Independent
"It is ultimately [Montaigne's] life-loving vivacity that Bakewell succeeds in communicating to her readers." —The Observer
"This subtle and surprising book manages the trick of conversing in a frank and friendly manner with its centuries-old literary giant, as with a contemporary, while helpfully placing Montaigne in a historical context. The affection of the author for her subject is palpable and infectious." —Phillip Lopate, author of The Art of the Personal Essay
"An intellectually lively treatment of a Renaissance giant and his world." —Saturday Telegraph
"Like recent books on Proust, Joyce, and Austen, How to Live skillfully plucks a life-guide from the incessant flux of Montaigne's prose . . . A superb, spirited introduction to the master." —The Guardian
"[How to Live] is written in the form of a delightful conversation across the ages with one of the most appealing, likeable writers who ever lived." —Independent Mail
"More than just a straightforward biography of Michel de Montaigne, Sarah Bakewell cleverly breaks away from chronology to explore the fundamental questions of living through the philosophy, beliefs, essays and experiences of the French master we often reference as the "father" of "essay."—Cerise Press
"[A] must-read in its entirety." —Brainpickings
"Bakewell's writing style is equal parts fluid and fascinating." —The Flâneur's Turtle
Former Wellcome Library curator Bakewell (Creative Writing/City Univ. London; The English Dane: A Life of Jorgen Jorgenson, 2005, etc.) sketches the life of essayist Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533–1592) and traces his evolving reputation.
The author notes that Montaigne is particularly appropriate in our time, "[a century] full of people who are full of themselves." He was a revolutionary writer, the founding father of the personal essay and the man who realized that his own life could serve as a mirror for others. Bakewell identifies 20 Montaignian answers to her title's question, though her treatment of each answer varies both in length and focus. Some answers occasion major biographical attention; others are dense summaries of the philosophical positions of the day. Some comprise Bakewell's appealing summaries and analyses of the essays; others elicit her thoughts on Montaigne's stature in the literary world. By the end of the book, readers will have a good sense of the sweep of the subject's life and times and writing. Among the highlights: Montaigne's notion that reading ought to be pleasurable, even exciting (he loved Ovid, Virgil, Plutarch); Bakewell's account of the profound early friendship of Montaigne and fellow French philosopher Étienne de La Boétie, whose early death devastated Montaigne; Montaigne's careful choreography with the church and its leaders, kings and other dignitaries; his late-life relationship with Marie de Gournay, who became his posthumous editor and whose work remains both revered and disdained. Bakewell describes Montaigne's travels, his physical ailments (kidney stones killed his father and plagued Montaigne as well) and his fascinations with the ordinary—from eating habits to sexual practices to observations that cats and people occupy the same space and observe one another with interest.
A bright, genial and generous introduction to the master's methods.

Read an Excerpt
The riding accident, which so altered Montaigne's perspective, lasted only a few moments in itself, but one can unfold it into three parts and spread it over several years. First, there is Montaigne lying on the ground, clawing at his stomach while experiencing euphoria. Then comes Montaigne in the weeks and months that followed, reflecting on the experience and trying to reconcile it with his philosophical reading. Finally, there is Montaigne a few years later, sitting down to write about it – and about a multitude of other things. The first scene could have happened to anyone; the second to any sensitive, educated young man of the Renaissance. The last makes Montaigne unique.
The connection is not a simple one: he did not sit up in bed and immediately start writing about the accident. He began the Essays a couple of years later, around 1572, and, even then, he wrote other chapters before coming to the one about losing consciousness. When he did turn to it, however, the experience made him try a new kind of writing, barely attempted by other writers: that of re-creating a sequence of sensations as they felt from the inside, following them from instant to instant.

Broad Haven
The house was the family home in 1972 when Rod and Jane Bell opened it to guests. Stone built around 1850 and substantially altered towards the end of the 1890's. The house stands in 20 acres of wild garden on the cliff above the safe, sandy beach of Druidston Haven.
The ecologically centrally heated house now has eleven bedrooms, most of which have sea or garden views. Five rooms have private facilities, showers, bathrooms or lavatories. The other six rooms share three bathrooms in the tradition of a typical family holiday house. The new rooms on the second floor have full private facilities and panoramic views of the bay from their shared balcony.The dining room, sitting room and cellar bar open onto terraces and grassy slopes overlooking the sea. Children and pets are made welcome and the atmosphere encourages visitors to treat the place as a second home. Books and maps are available and there is plenty of information on the locality. There is a separate television room and the regeneration of the original family Farmhouse Kitchen provides a Rayburn heated room with a large oak table suitable for use as a private dining room for up to ten. This Farmhouse Kitchen is also used for children's supper at 6.00 p.m. each evening.
These are the converted stables and outbuildings of the original house and were designed to be easy to run with bedrooms, bathroom and an open-plan kitchen/living area. Cookers and water heaters are either propane gas or electric with open fires or solid fuel stoves for cold evenings. Each cottage has a refrigerator, an iron and electric heaters. They are fully equipped with pots and pans, crockery, cutlery and bedding, linen and towels. There is ample parking space outside each cottage and the guests have the run of the hotel grounds as well as their own patch.
We also manage two other cottages within a stone's throw of Druidstone.Curlews Cottage That beautiful dreamy cottage across the valley and Granny's situated above the Druidstone, overlooking the hotel with magnificent views of the coast ,generous amounts of space and equipment.

Fox News contributor Keith Ablow went on an unhinged racial rant against President Obama, accusing him of failing to protect the country against Ebola because his "affinities, his affiliations are with" Africa and "not us ... He's their leader." Ablow also compared America to a hostage with Stockholm Syndrome, electing a man who dislikes the country and "has names very similar to two of our archenemies, Osama, well, Obama. And Hussein."
Ablow, a member of Fox News' "Medical A-Team," appeared on the October 14 edition of Fox News Radio's The John Gibson Show. He had previously written a column alleging that President Obama is not forcefully confronting Ebola and helping calm fears about the disease because he "may literally believe we should suffer along with less fortunate nations."
Ablow started by explaining that from his perspective "as a psychiatrist," Obama thinks he's a "citizen and a leader of the world" who doesn't belong to one country and "perhaps least of all this country because he has it in for us as disappointing people. People who've been a scourge on the face of the Earth. And so for him to then say we're going to seal the borders and protect Americans when in my view, in his mind, if only unconsciously, he's thinking, 'Really? We're going to prevent folks suffering with illnesses from coming across the border flying into our airports when we have visited a plague of colonialism that has devastated much of the world, on the world? What is the fairness in that?' I believe Barack Obama is thinking."

Fox News contributor Allen West dismissed the recent capture of Benghazi terrorist suspect Ahmed Abu Khattala as a "smoke and mirrors" ploy and questioned whether Abu Khattala was really the "mastermind" behind the attacks or "the Obama administration's fall guy." Yet West just months ago co-signed a letter calling for Khattala's capture because he was the "ringleader of the attack."
During an appearance today on Fox News Radio, West said that Abu Khattala has been "seen out in public and everything, and now all of a sudden the American people are supposed to believe that he is the mastermind?" He added: "He ends up being the Obama administration's fall guy. Just the same as the poor guy who produced the quote, unquote, anti-Islamic video," a reference to Innocence of Muslims filmmaker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula.
On January 6, West co-signed a letter to House Speaker John Boehner demanding a Benghazi select committee and calling for the capture of Abu Khattala. The letter, which is posted on West's website, states:
Not a single terrorist in this well-planned and executed military attack by radical Islamists has been apprehended. Ahmed Abu Khattala, a ringleader of the attack, granted long interviews to reporters in Benghazi cafes, while the Obama administration -- and you -- have done nothing. Nearly 16 months after the terrorist attack, American public has no accountability and no plan of action from House leadership.
On the radio, West also bizarrely claimed that the attention on Benghazi was distraction from matters such as Iraq and immigration, stating: "This is all smoke and mirrors. This all distraction. This all wag the dog stuff coming out of the Obama administration while we have a serious situation going on in Baghdad, while we have a serious situation going in on our southern border." (To "wag the dog" means to "purposely divert attention from what would otherwise be of greater importance, to something else of lesser significance.") West similarly wrote on his website yesterday that Abu Khattala was "conveniently captured to deflect attention from all the other nightmares."
Listen to West's comments from the June 18 edition of Fox News Radio's Kilmeade & Friends:
In light of the Obama administration's mistake in releasing to the press the name of the CIA station chief in Afghanistan, right-wing media have rushed to create a false equivalence to the Bush administration's deliberate exposure of then-covert CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Fox News contributor Karl Rove exploited the Obama administration's accidental exposure of a CIA operative's identity to absolve his own culpability in deliberately leaking former CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity during the Bush administration.
Over the weekend, the name of the CIA's top officer in Kabul, Afghanistan, was "inadvertently included on a list provided to news organizations of senior U.S. officials participating in President Obama's surprise visit with U.S. troops. The White House recognized the mistake and quickly issued a revised list."
During the May 27 broadcast of Fox News Radio's Kilmeade & Friends, host Brian Kilmeade discussed the story and remarked: "You think Valerie Plame's a big deal, fine. She's at the -- she's at a desk job in the CIA. What about a guy in one of the most dangerous jobs in the world?"
Plame is a former CIA operative whose identify was leaked by Karl Rove and others in the Bush administration as payback for an opinion piece that her husband, Joe Wilson, wrote rebutting Bush's case for invading Iraq.
Rove -- who was a senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President Bush -- responded on Kilmeade's show by claiming Plame "was not an active agent" and that he "didn't know her name. All I'd heard was the rumor that Wilson's wife had, at the CIA, had helped send him to Niger":

Fox News' penchant for linking everything to Benghazi has struck again, with Fox contributor Allen West bringing up the 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities during a discussion of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's racist remarks.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver yesterday fined and banned Sterling from the league for life after Sterling was recorded telling his girlfriend he doesn't like her "associating with black people" and bringing "them to my games."
On Fox News Radio, West strongly criticized Sterling, but lamented that "the outrage of the public seems to be totally focused on Mr. Sterling" when "you've got this thing with Benghazi and we have an even bigger lie, an even bigger deceit, which is even more impactful on the country that no one is really caring about." From the April 30 edition of Kilmeade & Friends:
ALLEN WEST: [Sterling's comments are] disgusting. They're despicable. They're reprehensible. There's no doubt about that. And, you know, there's no place for that type of attitude or behavior. But what is really concerning, as I listen to the sound-bite montage that you played -- where is the outrage of the public? The outrage of the public seems to be totally focused on Mr. Sterling but, you know, you've got this thing with Benghazi and we have an even bigger lie, an even bigger deceit, which is even more impactful on the country that no one is really caring about.
BRIAN KILMEADE: Alright, we'll get to that in a second, and I see the relation there.
Right Wing Watch's Brian Tashman noted that West also connected Sterling to Benghazi in a column on his website. West claimed that "Donald Sterling's behavior is despicable, but so is that of President Barack Hussein Obama -- and whose abhorrent behavior has more impact on our country?" He added that "We know more about Sterling than Benghazi -- or the IRS scandal."
The conservative media, particularly Fox, have frequently invoked the Benghazi attacks while discussing unrelated events such as the missing Malaysian airplane, the Chris Christie bridge scandal, and openly gay NFL prospect Michael Sam.
Fox News host Gregg Jarrett ridiculed New York Mets player Daniel Murphy for taking paternity leave for the birth of his son. Jarrett said Murphy "is rich. He could have like twenty nannies taking care of his tired wife, and he's got to take off two days? It's absurd. It's preposterous."
Jarrett's remark came after controversy over similar criticism by New York radio broadcasters Boomer Esiason and Mike Francesa. Esiason, a former professional quarterback, said he would have told his wife to have a C-section so he wouldn't miss any games, while Francesa said, "You see the birth and you get back ... Your wife doesn't need your help the first couple days." Esiason later apologized for his "flippant and insensitive remark." Francesa is reportedly standing by his remarks.
Paternity leave is a common practice in baseball. Fairleigh Dickinson University professor Scott Behson wrote in The Wall Street Journal that "almost 100 baseball players, including three other players this season, have taken paternity leave since MLB enacted the policy in 2011, according to Paul Mifsud, Senior Counsel for Labor Relations for Major League Baseball. None have received the public criticism Murphy had to endure." Teams are not short a player during paternity leave, as they are allowed to replace that player for up to three days (Mets minor league infielder Wilmer Flores, for instance, substituted for Murphy).
Major League Baseball, however, is an outlier when it comes to providing paid paternity leave in the United States. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity or paternity leave, and just "three states, California, New Jersey and Rhode Island, offer paid family and medical leave."
Fox News used a misleading report from the anti-immigration Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) to accuse the Obama administration of "destabilizing the nation" by releasing undocumented immigrants with criminal backgrounds. In fact, data show that the Obama administration has met its enforcement mandate to prioritize the deportation of immigrants with criminal convictions, which has resulted in a substantial increase of such deportations.
Fox News reflexively attacked President Obama's forthcoming proposal to raise the salary threshold for overtime compensation, claiming the plan would hurt the economy and discourage hiring, though experts have previously promoted such a change as an opportunity to boost the economy and worker compensation.

The Message of Hope in the Book of Revelation

The idea of The Rapture"the return of Christ to rescue and deliver Christians off the earthis an extremely popular interpretation of the Bible's Book of Revelation and a jumping-off point for the best-selling Left Behind" series of books. This interpretation, based on a psychology of fear and destruction, guides the daily acts of thousands if not millions of people worldwide. In The Rapture Exposed, Barbara Rossing argues that this script for the world's future is nothing more than a disingenuous distortion of the Bible. The truth, Rossing argues, is that Revelation offers a vision of God's healing love for the world. The Rapture Exposed reclaims Christianity from fundamentalists' destructive reading of the biblical story and back into God's beloved community.

Cuoio by Odori
Despite my allergy to birch tar (which didn't act up too much with this), I still have to give a positive review. Cuoio isn't terribly "leathery," but it is a fine fragrance. It's sort of a leathery, soapy, fruity, smooth, fresh fragrance. The vetiver and patchouli stand their ground, so it never smells like x (I typically make mental comparisons to something when a fragrance has too much of either). It's very wearable, modern, and unisex, but it's never a "me too." Sometimes it resembles one of those fruit filled breakfast bars, and it occasionally bears a slight resemblance to that Angel Men Summer Sunessence (or whatever it's called)

Jul 28, 2014Considering it's made for children, this Scooby game is incredibly hard. I made it fairly far through the game, and the gameplay is a cross of stealth, speed and platforming (so basically a cross of Mgs, Sonic and Crash Bandicoot all mashed up into one great dane dog shaped ball. it just works on so many levels). Really great gameplay and only takes up a small portion of your memory card.
For wealthy collectors of "Scooby-Doo" memorabilia or very small children that have yet to be exposed to a "Crash Bandicoot"-caliber action/adventure on PSOne.
Targeted for kids and is not an extremely difficult game, but it does have a lot of levels to master which does give it a longer gamelife.

Delivery duties are not included in the item price when shipping to all other countries. This means you may be liable to pay import duties on receipt of your order.
Free returns pick-up
You have 14 days from receiving your order to return the item to the boutique using our free returns pick-up service. We strongly recommend that you book your free returns pick-up within 7 days of receiving your order to ensure that it arrives back to the boutique in time. Please note for standard orders we can only collect returns from the same country to which your order was delivered. For click and collect orders we can collect your return from the country your order was delivered to and also the country of the original boutique you ordered from. We are unable to accept returns of earrings for hygiene reasons. We are also unable to accept returns of fine Jewellery. Click here to read our full returns policy.
