This was a wonderful experience. We utilized this location for a one-day company retreat and the hosts could not have been more accommodating to our timelines. The cottage is just wonderful, clean and stocked as per the posting. The amenities were fantastic! We had a lot of fun…
Staying at Upper Narrows Retreat was an amazing experience. Not only is the property breathtaking, but there are a million and one things to do. Our host made choosing Upper Narrows very simple and I would not hesitate to stay there again. The property is well maintained and cl…

Protect your sh*t!
No one is safe from an identity thief. Not even America's oldest living veteran. Last week, family members of Richard Arvin Overton discovered that his bank account was drained dry.
Someone stole his social security number and bank account and was able to purchase bonds with his money. Overton, according to CNBC is still able to live at home, but requires 24-hour-a-day help. The care for the 112-year-old, World War II veteran costs about $15,000 each month.
A GoFundMe page was set up to help Overton and the good news is, they've almost reached the goal. Even better news, his bank restored the account to what it was before his identity was stolen.
It looks like things are working out for Overton and his family but there are a few things you can do today that will help keep your identity safe.
- Use strong passwords. Use both upper and lowercase letters and numbers. Don't be obvious and use your birth date or mom's maiden name. You can test your password at sites like How Secure Is My Password?
- Lock up your records. Keep financial documents and any records with sensitive information in a secure place. Try to avoid carrying around anything with your personal information. For your medical records, you can sign up for the VLER Health Exchange and even if you use CHOICE, the VA will share your records electronically, cutting the need for you to carry anything with you.
- Shred sensitive documents. A cross-cutting shredder is best.
- Lock your computer. If you're using a computer in a public place or just at your office, every time you get up from your computer, lock it!
- Secure your wireless network. Unprotected wireless networks put sensitive information in danger. Make sure your wireless network at home is secured with a strong password (see #1).
- Keep virus protection strong. Always update your anti-virus software. Also, computer systems and even browsers should be kept up to date and at the highest security level.
- Watch faxes and mailings. Always check to see if documents are stuck together before mailing anything with personal information. When faxing, yes this is still a thing, contact the recipient before the transmission so they are aware that the information is coming. Afterwards, check again to make sure it was received.
- Avoid clicking on links or attachments. Think before you click! Look for spelling errors, email addresses that don't look right. If you just aren't sure, best practice is to manually enter the URL of the organization instead of clicking on a link.
The Department of Justice recommends four steps to help keep you safe. You can use the acronym SCAM to remember what it is too.
- S Remain STINGY about giving personal information to anyone.
- C CONTACT financial institution or credit card companies immediately to report unauthorized withdrawals or charges.
- A You should ASK for a copy of your credit report occasionally.
- M MAINTAIN careful banking and financial records.
Finally, VA started the Identity Safety Service (ISS) in 2008 to help veterans who may be dealing with identity theft. You can contact ISS staff through its toll-free Identity Theft help line at (855) 578-5492 or by email at [email protected].
If you think you've been hacked, immediately call your state's attorney general and let them know what happened. After that you should file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

Outstanding Design
At the 2018 Winnipeg Theatre Awards (The Evies), Deserter has been nominated for 5 awards, including OUTSTANDING DESIGN. The design team for this production includes:
Emma Hendrix (sound design/composition), jaymez (lighting design) and Brenda McLean (set design).
Also receiving nominations from Deserter:
Outstanding Lead Actor: Jeff Strome
Outstanding Supporting Actor: Ray Strachan
Outstanding New Work: Daniel Thau-Eleff
Outstanding Director: Arne MacPherson
Curtis Colby is an American war-deserter in Canada who is caught in a tug-of-war between his past and the present.
I will be composing and developing the sound design for this world premiere theatrical production by Moving Target Theatre at the Rachel Browne Theatre.
TOPS (working title) is a new project of mine, conceived of as an electro-mechanical sculptural sound composition and performance tool comprised of 40 modified tin harmonic tops, each controlled via a set of linked Arduino microcontrollers.
This project was recently funded by the BC Arts Council and is currently in production. I expect to have a prototype completed in the next few months.
If you are interested in showing TOPS in your gallery or booking a performance, please contact me via the email in the ABOUT section
Watch the video: http://www.emmahendrix.com/sound-design/#/manufacturing-entertainment/
There is a different audio only version on Soundcloud
There is a nine minute single shot determined by the currents of the Peace River under threat by BC Hydro and the SiteC dam project. Sound sources were recorded on location and in the depths of a hydro dam.
If the dam is completed this entire area, Indigenous burial and ceremonial land, and fertile farmland will be under water.
What you see here is not the final outcome of the artwork. There is a single shot version, and a performance rehearsal version.

Julie and my A/V piece, Vertigo Digression No. 3 will be screened as part of SPIRIT GUIDE TO LOW TECH, curated by Constantine Katsiris and Presented by Panospria at the Sounds Like Festival in Saskatoon.
You can see the video on my website here: http://www.emmahendrix.com/music-2/#/sound-art/
We (Julie Gendron and I) will be conducting the first part of research and field recording for Julie's project "When Once There Was". We will be travelling to the Peace River Valley to the Site "C" Dam location to record audio and visual raw material to be used in a live A/V performance. The performance will be developed from the raw material we collect while travelling in the Valley.
I am pleased to have VERTIGO DIGRESSION NO. 3 as part of the group exhibition, SEEDED, celebrating the launch of Video Pool's new POOLSIDE Gallery. Work will be on display Friday and Saturday.
City and the City is an audience-driven interactive play based on the novel by China Mieville that will be performed at PuSh in January 2017. I have stepped off this project due to my move to Winnipeg, but have contributed to the development of the show conceptually and through the music below. Unfortunately, you will not hear any of my sounds at this show in January, but I expect it to be an interesting piece.
Co-created and produced by Upintheair Theatre and The Only Animal
The sound design and composition for this piece is based on the ominous tones of phone sounds and the frequencies and rhythms used to build them. We're including field recordings and student led songs as well.
2 Presentations nightly at 7pm & 9pm. We are using the app AmpMe as part of the sound design elements so sounds will be transmitted directly to your phone.

Both Sides Now is an interactive video installation by Julie Gendron that is currently in development. I am creating complex layers of sound that will be triggered by audience members' presence, specific to one of two videos. The layers need to be interesting in their own right, but must also be able to work compositionally with every sound element in either video, triggered at random times.
The piece is about each individual's struggle with inevitable change–inertia–accompanied with the ongoing internal discomfort displayed through hopeless and awkward control mechanisms.
For more information see: http://desiringproductions.com/blog/both-sides-now/
We will be in development for GAME OVER, another collaborative work with Dinka Pignon (see Orchestra of the Uncanny Valley).
More to come soon...
This performance will be the result of manipulated field recordings and video footage of east Iceland coupled with footage from Vancouver, Canada, and inspired by the soundscape and landscape of each. The video is a continuum of Julie's exploration of vertical video. This will be the third expression of this exploration.
Emma Hendrix and Julie Gendron have been making interdisciplinary artwork together for more than ten years focusing on sound, video, and installation. The residency at Skálar, marks a return to a/v performance after nearly 10 years, following a recent appearance at Destroy Vancouver XVI earlier this year.

32 Songs - Track 19
Blue Monday - New Order
To treat me like you do
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I really don't know how to start talking about this track. It's a bit like saying to someone "Whack out a hundred words on how the colour purple tastes, oh and let me know how Kylie's I should be so Lucky smells".
The repeating drum loop that starts it off and then the syths kick in and something tingles within me. It's been this way since the first time I heard it years and years ago on a dodgy tape that had been played a thousand times. And it is the sound of the song, rather than Bernard Sumner's haunting lyrics and voice, that continues to fascinate me each time i hear it.
To put the whole thing into perspective I should you tell you that Blue Monday is the ring on my mobile phone. During the Festival my phone would ring at least every five minutes, 12 hours a day for two weeks. That equates to me hearing Blue Monday over 1,500 times in a fortnight. Yet i don't get sick of the song at all.

Like one my favorite Portlandia skits "Put a Bird On it", you can put a mustache on ANYTHING.
Just check Pinterest for "mustache" and you find coffee mugs, t-shirts, stickers, nail art, and more. People are insane for anything with a mustache.
I wanted to make something crafty for Movember, just in case you ever needed a lil' party favor or gift for a Movember event. Everyone likes a good mustache party.
You will need:
- Polymer clay, any color
- Black Sharpie
- Magnet backs
- Superglue
- Clear nail polish or clear gloss spray paint (Optional)
First warm up the clay in your hands and form into balls about the size of a large grape. You want to make sure the clay, when pressed flat, will cover the magnet back. Use wax paper to protect the surface you are working on, as sometimes the clay will leave color on white surfaces.
Second, press the clay balls flat. You can use a drinking glass to press evenly. Make sure to flatten to about 1/8th inch in thickness.
Next, bake in the oven at 275 degrees for 15 minutes. If you have made larger or smaller clay disks then follow the baking instructions according to the wrapper. Pictured above and below are some smaller balls I made to flatten into smaller discs for earrings. The smaller discs I baked at 275 degrees for 10 minutes.
Let cool completely before drawing your designs on with a black Sharpie. If you'd like a glossy surface wait until the Sharpie has dried before using clear nail polish to paint a coat or spray paint a coat of clear gloss. Try to limit the number of brush strokes of clear polish as it can make the Sharpie bleed or feather. I made 3 magnets without a clear coat and one with the clear nail polish. The magnets look really good without a clear coat.
Last, attach the magnet backs with superglue. You can also use self-adhesive magnet backs instead of using superglue.
Now enjoy and use to totally pimp out your fridge or give away to your awesome friends!
Later my ninjas!

By D.J. Whitt (Circleville, OH, US)
IT begins with a rainy day, two brothers, a paper sailboat — and a sewer-dwelling clown named Pennywise. The movie's opening is true to the book, mimicking both the atmosphere and dialog of Stephen King's 1986 masterpiece. If you're a fan of the novel, you'll instantly feel transported within the pages; seeing that gloomy day in Derry, Maine come to life was mesmerizing. What follows is a great movie and good adaptation. Why just 'good,' you ask? I'll get this out of the way: I'm a diehard IT fan. I read the 1,000+ page novel once a year, almost ritually. Of course my expectations were high, probably too high — but you'll have that when a book you love (I can't emphasize this enough) is brought to life on the silver screen. Don't get me wrong on this, Andy Muschietti's spin is no hit-and-miss…it's one of the best Stephen King adaptations to date. When the source material exceeds the 4-digit mark, things are bound to be left on the cutting room floor, and I'm sure what got left in the gutter (see what I did there?) weren't easy sacrifices to make. Most of the mythology behind IT is scrapped, but there are references within the film which fans of the book will surely get, serving as nice little Easter eggs (see what I did there again?) for those who have read King's novel.
The Loser's Club: FANTASTIC. Like the book, these kids are the heart and soul of this movie. EVERYTHING depended on the chemistry of these kid-actors, and they scienced up something special indeed. I believed them the whole way through; I didn't see actors playing characters — I saw Bill, Richie, Stan, Eddie, Mike, Ben and Beverly. They absolutely nailed it. The standout amongst these young stars is undoubtedly Sophia Lillis, who plays Bev. There are times when you witness a performance onscreen from a relative newcomer, and by some intuition you just know that their career is going places. The girl with a mane of "winter fire" has a promising future yet.
Bower's and Co.: Henry Bowers and his gang of juvenile delinquents are an integral part of King's novel. There are two forces at work in the book, and whereas the Losers fall on the side of good, Bowers and his buddies act as Pennywise's personal chess pieces. In the movie, I feel like they got backseated somewhat. Bowers is a menacing, psychologically-disturbed punk and the actor who plays him conveys that very well. The others are great too. There's nothing wrong with their performances at all, it's just that I feel like there were some liberties taken with these characters and their arcs that I don't really agree with. Oh well.
Bill Skarsgård plays Pennywise as a darkly whimsical, child-like entity — and it works wonderfully. There's something very "off" about watching a six-foot-three adult parade around in a gothic-inspired clown costume, gibbering in the tone of a young boy who's sitting cross-legged on the floor while playing with his toys. When he gets a whiff of his victims' fears, you can see the saliva build in his mouth, spill over his lip and stream down his chin. That's a practical-effect delivered by Skarsgård himself, and it's a weird, welcome addition to the character. The Leper scene: I was slightly underwhelmed, but again — high expectations usually equal much to be desired in the end. Muschietti makes good use of CGI in his film, it neither drowns out key aspects of the book, nor does it take away from the central heart of King's novel.
The cinematography is gorgeous. If nothing else, IT is a real piece of eye candy. Chung-hoon Chung really sets the atmosphere for this film, each shot a fine work of art. There's grit and green hue underlying each scene — possibly as a reminder that the reason for Derry's true perseverance lies within its sewers. The set pieces and real-life city of Port Hope breathe life into the fictional town of Derry, Maine. The attention to detail is exquisite; it's just as I'd imagined it, not a flaw to be found. Benjamin Wallfisch helps to bring everything full circle with a fantastic score, one that seems partly inspired by another masterful composer, Danny Elfman. And what would this merry band of talent be without its frontman? Andy Muschietti delivers something great. I said "good adaptation," but I'm not sure anyone could deliver a "great" one. Not without it being something along the lines of a 10-part Netflix limited series — which it almost was, but instead we got Stranger Things, which I'm sure no one is bothered by in the least. The end result of Muschietti's adaptation is a tightly tethered mash-up of The Goonies and Stand by Me, if that dual-flavored combo were helmed by late master of horror, Wes Craven.
Stephen King's IT is first and foremost a coming-of-age story. It's about kids who come together and experience life-changing events, crossing that invisible divider between childhood and adulthood. It's loss of innocence, where the veil of naivety is pulled from their eyes by the clutches of an interdimensional, demonic clown named Pennywise. Andy Muschietti hits the marker with this, capturing the spirit of King's behemoth of a book with 2 hours and 15 minutes of graceful direction. This story resonates with me — and so many others, I'm sure — because it's so damn relatable. The nostalgia of once-in-a-lifetime friendship; they can be a toxic thing, memories. But, given time, they fade. Not entirely, but enough. Just enough. Like letting a group of balloons go, watching as they ascend the open sky, until it's a tiny, indistinguishable dot in a sea of blue. You'll never hold those balloons again, and you'll never relive those same memories. So let the fuckers float and get some new ones.

I don't know why stupidity like this still surprises me but it does. Erik Sofge wrote an article about the recently deceased Gary Gygax and his game, Dungeons & Dragons. Erik describes the game as, "one of the worst on the market." Now Erik has a right to his opinion but to describe one of the most successful role playing games ever made as one of the worst on the market is extremely ignorant. D&D has been around for 30ish years and if it was a poor game the market would not have allowed the game to stay around that long, if at all. Here, Erik, are some examples of the truly worst RPG's. Here is another, Daikatana. A little too recent for you? Well what about E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600? That's a little closer to D&D's inception. All would be much better examples of "worst games" than a game that has enthralled teens and adults for three decades.
What Sofge describes as flaws in D&D seem to be flaws in himself rather than the game. For example, he describes the experience system as flawed because you have to kill MoBs to get xp, to get levels, to improve your character. Really? So you mean when a so called dungeon master awards experience for completing a quest, task or puzzle it really isn't experience? If your dungeon master decides to create a campaign that rewards non-kill events with xp then it still applies to your character. Erik obviously has only played the game as a mindless hack-n-slash which is his flaw and not a flaw in the game design. The game is designed to be role played as you want to role play it, not how the rule set wants you to role play it.
So now that we know Erik has an opinion, just like everyone else who made it out of the womb, let's look at the reasons why he believes D&D to be immoral. Here are a few quotes from his article: "violence without pretense", "endless hobgoblin holocaust", "mercy doesn't have ? value in D&D", "little more than a collective fantasy of massacre and greed". I believe that this really delves into Sofge's mind more than it does into the 'morals' of D&D. Let's remember D&D is a rule set and not a manuscript of what to do when you play the game. The overriding theme from Erik is that violence is morally wrong, therefore, since you can emulate violence in D&D, it is morally corrupt. He puts his blinders on and ignores anything else other than his misguided attempt at the moral condemnation of a game that is entirely based on what the users decide to do. By the same token I could proclaim D&D as the ultimate example of morality and justice because players can destroy evil forces and save thousands of virtual lives. What?s next Erik? Condemning every little girl who owned My Little Pony for animal cruelty?
The one comment that is very disturbing is Erik's comparison to killing hobgoblins en mass to the holocaust. It really makes light of the death of 11 million people whenever someone makes a trivial comparison such as this. At the very least Sofge should have some respect for the dead…Oh wait, why should Erik start now? First off, if you are going to make this comparison, which you should not, at least get the players in the right roles (maybe this is why Erik doesn't 'get' D&D, he doesn't comprehend role playing). In Sofge's case, he is putting hobgoblins in the position of the millions of Jews, Catholics, homosexuals, etc. that died due to the Nazi?s. It would be much more accurate to put the hobgoblins in the role of the Nazi?s who killed everyone based on their own twisted desires because, as anyone who has played D&D knows, hobgoblins are defined in the texts written by Gary Gygax as EVIL. Evil as in they maim, kill, plunder… you know, the things that Erik accuses the D&D players of doing in game. Secondly, D&D is a game. As in not real. Comparing imagined role playing events to real life atrocities is crude to say the least.
The real point behind Erik's article is sensationalism. What he wants is to create an uproar and have his thirty seconds of fame. It is vanity at its worst…saying or doing something incredibly stupid just for the attention. This is also not the first time Erik has done this. And let's not forget the internet traffic he is directing to the website that his article appears on. That is the real point of creating an opinion piece such as his article. He knows there are thousands of loyal D&D fans who are going to rip him a new one for his stupidity and draw attention to the sites his articles appear on. That, in turn, will draw a vast amount of traffic to the sites which will earn those sites a lot of money. Which is really quite ironic since Erik describes D&D as, ?little more than a collective fantasy of massacre and greed?
If you'd like your daily dose of ignorance and sensationalism read Erik's article here: http://www.slate.com/id/2186203/?GT1=38001
And for those of you who are angry with Erik over his views you should enjoy this Don't tase me bro! moment.
?Update: Here is a much better written post about Erik Sofge and his D& D article.

Robecca Steam Dolls From Monster High - Release Dates & News
In this article we are going to be taking a look at the Robecca Stream dolls from Monster High. We will check out what Robecca Steam dolls are available and preview the new dance class dolls. We will also take a look at the release date for these, the price and where to get hold of the dolls from. If you are a fan of Monster High and like to get all the latest information on new characters and new dolls then this page is for you.
Monster High is the creation of toy company Mattel. They first introduced the dolls back in 2010. To promote the dolls Mattel brought out a website and ran cartoons based on the adventures of the new characters they had created. This theme has gone on to become massively successful. There have been TV specials, books, movies and a whole host of merchandize based around Monster High. To keep demand high there are regular new webisodes broadcast on the website and there are lots of new storylines and new characters introduced on a regular basis. The list of ghouls at the school is always expanding and one of the latest new ghouls at school is Robecca Steam. So let's take a look at the character and then tell you a little bit about the doll.
Robecca Steam
Her Penguin - Captain Penny
The New Ghoul At Monster High
So Robecca Steam first came to our attention over the summer of 2012. She actually appeared in one of the books before she came into one of the cartoons. Early in September she was introduced in the book Ghoulfriends Forever. Then later in September she appeared in Aba-Kiss Me Deadly which was her first cartoon episode. Fans of Monster High were aware of her before this as she had appeared on websites and there had already been a doll of her brought out over the summer, plus she was previewed in the spring at an unveiling of the new dolls for the summer months.
So what can we tell you about Robecca Steam herself. Well as you can imagine she is actually a robot, so technically she does not have monster parents. She does have a creator though who is said to be a mad scientist. One of her flaws is that she has a fault in her machinery which makes her run late for everything. Although she does not know her father she does now live with Kindergrubber who is the home economics teacher at Monster High. Hoodude Voodoo also lives with Robecca at the moment.
Most of the ghouls at school have pets and Robecca is no exception to the rule. She has Captain Penny who is a robotic penguin, although most penguins can't fly Captain Penny has a jet pack to get around. When it comes to looks she has coppery skin with long black hair with blue streaks in it, she often wears knee length boots and bright clothing to make her stand out. So now you know a little bit about the character what about the dolls that Mattel have brought out based on her.
Basic Doll
Get Robecca Steam Online
The Robecca Steam Dolls
The first doll to come out based on Robecca Steam was released in July 2012. This was a little bit of a surprise as at this point she had not appeared in any books or cartoons. This doll was one of the basic range and came with Robecca in her usual outfit of black and bright blue. As is often the case with the basic range you get a brush, diary, doll stand and little handbag for the doll to carry. Possibly the highlight of this set is Captain Penny the penguin who is brilliantly done and really does look the part. The release date for this one was July and you can usually pick it up for around $30.
The second doll to be released came in the Dance Class range of toys. These were released in early October 2012 and also included characters such as Lagoona Blue, Howleen Wolf and Operetta. Each character comes performing to a different style of music, the Robecca Steam doll is doing tap dance and so she is dressed for the occasion. She comes in a purple outfit with a little purple handbag. This doll looks like being priced at around $40 at the moment and as mentioned the release date has already come and gone so you can get hold of this one online now.
It is expected that in the future we will see more Robecca Steam dolls released as she seems like a popular character and one that Mattel will do well with in the future. The new Dance Class dolls look like being very good so we are sure lots of people will be buying these. As Monster High continues to be massively popular we expect that we are going to be seeing lots more new characters introduced over the coming months and hence lots more new lines of dolls for the near future.

WASHINGTON: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the United States again in June this year, his fourth since he took charge of his office in May 2014.
Earlier this week, four US lawmakers sent a letter to the speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, asking him to invite Mr Modi to address a joint congressional session during his state visit to Washington on June 7-8.
This will be Mr Modi's first 'state' visit, as previous visits were either 'official' or to attend summit meetings. He was in Washington earlier this month as well for the nuclear security summit.
Officials at the Indian embassy told Washington-based Indian journalists that while details of the visit were still being finalised, Mr Modi would get all the protocols associated with a state visit, which often includes address to a joint session of the US Congress.

Automotive Header Portfolio
TE Connectivity's new automotive header portfolio connects PCB's for growing digital interfaces. Automotive header solutions for signal and low-power transmission support the demand for miniaturized components and growing number of inputs/outputs.
October 18, 2016
TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensor solutions, today announced a comprehensive portfolio of headers designed to connect printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electronic control units (ECUs) for automotive applications. The growing functional content and increasing number of digital interfaces require higher integration levels. The new portfolio also addresses the automotive industry's push for miniaturization, as well as press-fit connections and surface-mount technology (SMT).
TE headers establish electrical connections between PCBs and other components within the harsh automotive environment. The portfolio includes standard automotive headers with low pin counts and customized headers with high pin counts. The standard headers are designed for automotive applications that require signal and low-power transmission. The portfolio includes sealed and unsealed products in 90-degree and 180-degree orientations.
As vehicle ECU pin counts go up, TE headers provide a solution for extremely compact interconnection technologies like applied in the NanoMQS connectors. The headers build on existing and widely used terminal technologies so there is a mating counterpart for almost every header.
"Our comprehensive header portfolio provides solutions for the interface between sensitive electronics and critical components across the harsh automotive environment," said Alexander Ginsburg, CAM product manager for EMEA, Automotive, TE. "The well-proven products also address key global trends such as miniaturization, increasingly high pin counts and economic processing technologies such as surface mounting and press-fit."
TE products connect nearly every electrical function in cars – from alternative power systems to infotainment and sensor technologies.
About TE
TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL) is a $14 billion global technology and manufacturing leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future. For more than 75 years, our connectivity and sensor solutions, proven in the harshest environments, have enabled advancements in transportation, industrial applications, medical technology, energy, data communications, and the home.

Bill Erskine
The Five Lamps Organisation
Improving communications and saving money
The Five Lamps Organisation is one of the largest community-led social and economic regeneration businesses in the North East of England. Based in Thornaby, Stockton-on-Tees, it operates from three main premises, including a purpose-built youth centre, and a range of outreach facilities.
As a charity, The Five Lamps Organisation manages the costs of supporting the organisation carefully so it has more funds for its work. When it approached Service F1rst, the organisation's telecommunications equipment was dated and the call costs expensive, and this prompted them to look for a more competitively priced supplier. We proposed that they upgrade their phone system and have us supply their telecoms service.
"We were impressed by Service F1rst's professionalism. They were always available when we needed them, and were able to resolve our issues quickly. They kept us informed of progress during all stages of the transition, and provided detailed information about what was being done and why," says Bill Erskine of The Five Lamps Organisation.
The Five Lamps Organisation now has an improved communications system that costs them less to run, and confirms that "easy-to-use telecoms at lower cost improves our all-round performance and efficiency."
"We particularly liked the way Service F1rst's progress reports made us feel involved in the upgrade, and their ability to resolve problems from afar certainly ensured the changeover went as quickly and smoothly as possible."

It is not often these days that Customer Service excels but I must compliment the Service F1rst team on consistent excellent service.
We have just moved offices and upgraded to virtual numbers.
Chris and his team kept us informed on both the transfer and changes with up to date emails and calls.
We can't thank him enough with us being a taxi service we needed the lines 24/7.
Thanks for a smooth transition and making sure that service was maintained.
Kirsty Hopkin, Managing Director
Digital Print Services Ltd
Smoothing the Office move
Digital Print Services Ltd uses the latest technology to reproduce images and print on anything from business cards, brochures and mousemats, to manuals, posters and menus – and just about anything in between.
As an expanding business, the company has needed to move offices frequently. When it came to the fourth move, Digital Print Services Ltd decided it wanted contact numbers it could take with it in the future – changing phone numbers each time was too costly.
"Service F1rst interpreted our needs fully during the transition period when we were moving offices, and was always on the end of the telephone when we needed help and advice," explained Kirsty Hopkin of Digital Print Services Ltd.
Initially, Digital Print Services Ltd shared their new office accommodation until the other occupying company was able to relocate. Service F1rst transferred all the company's calls to a business mobile phone until Digital Print Services Ltd's new lines could be installed.
Service F1rst proposed that Digital Print Services Ltd adopt 0845 contact numbers, which the company can retain if it needs to move offices again in the future.
"The help and service offered to us by Service F1rst was excellent," commented Kirsty, "particularly during the time when we had numerous delays to the installation of our new lines. It's great to know that if we have any questions or need information on anything, someone is always there on the end of the telephone to help. That reassurance is something we've not had before. It just takes extra hassle away and allows us to concentrate on the day-to-day running of the business.
"Their friendly and helpful service makes it particularly reassuring to be working with Service F1rst."
Mr A Rawlinson
BT Customer
Better service and cheaper bills
Mr Rawlinson had been a loyal customer of BT for 25 years, but felt its service was indifferent and slow, and that he was paying more for telephony and dial-up internet access than he needed to. When he decided to upgrade from dial-up internet access to broadband he was looking for one provider and one bill for his communications services, so he turned to Service F1rst.
"Service F1rst asked me to explain my requirements – phone line, internet access and mobiles plus anything else. They advised very simply what they could offer me and had pricing which was easy to understand," Mr Rawlinson recalls.
"They explained their terms and conditions, which are straightforward and accurate with no hidden charges, the timescales for delivery and change of equipment, and the support and help available. They followed up by phone to make sure everything was as it should be, and reminded me I could call them for support, changes or advice anytime going forward."
Mr Rawlinson moved his line rental to Service F1rst along with all his calls where they are either cheaper or totally free. We gave him permanent broadband access at a fixed price and provided a low-cost mobile phone package to meet his needs.
"Service F1rst has saved me a lot of money," explains Mr Rawlinson. "In the 12 months before I switched, I paid BT over £800 just for landline calls and dial-up internet access. In my first year with Service F1rst they provided unlimited internet access via broadband, phone and mobile rental and all my phone calls for less than £786.
"That just shows you can have a better telephony service at a significantly lower cost. What's more, I know that Service F1rst will be happy to help and will give me best advice if I need anything.
"Service F1rst made it easy to change supplier because they did exactly what they said they would – deliver better value at a lower cost."

If you've never heard the story of Mr. Eternity, Google him or click here. His story is amazing. Mr. Eternity was an Australian eformed alcoholic who converted to Christianity and spread the gospel by writing the word "Eternity" in chalk on footpaths in Sydney, Australia for approximately 35 years. It is one of my favorite testimonies, and his story makes up my favorite tract to hand to people with questions about Christ.
My home church, Florence Baptist Temple, produces the tract with his story and why it is important to consider eternity.
I hand out the tract all the time (or try to at least). Next post, I will tell you about my most recent experience doing just that….
Question: Do you have a favorite tract or witnessing tool?

Close Encounters of the Fowl Kind
Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving (in US), I feel compelled to share some of my personal turkey experiences with you.
Two years ago on my way to work, just a few blocks from home, as the morning glare was oscuring my view ahead of me, I saw some faint, odd-shaped shadows in the middle of the street. As I came to a stop, I noticed that the shadows were moving. They were unmistakably . . . turkeys! I had seen small flocks (or whatever their groups are called) of turkeys many times in the area - but right in the middle of Dallas? Since then they have wandered through our yard a couple of times, interrupting homeschool, and they regularly make appearances in the city park and on our other neighbor's lawns. Many folks leave bread crumbs for them. In case you're wondering, turkeys are not native to Oregon; they were introduced here for hunting. Same is true for possums, who have also graced our yard.
Short Story to Read
You might also want to read Flannery O'Connor's story "The Turkey". It is a poinant tale of the inner workings of reprobation.

Thorny Matters
Over at Yahoo they have link to story about scientists trying to make blue roses. Ever stop to think how many different kinds of roses there are? They come in remarkable array of different colors, sizes, shapes, textures, and scents. Then think about all the other kinds of flowers there are (my Dad breeds daylilies). God invested His creation with the potential for variety and gave us the ability and inclination to explore and develop it for His glory. I was expecially excited about articles mention of the development of thornless backberries. Anyone who lives in the Pacific Northwest knows what I am talking about. I think about this every time I read Genesis 3. Thorns and thistles indeed. But by grace we are able to accomplish much positive development.

Happy Holidays?
They put up the holiday decorations in our hometown yesterday. Seems like it gets earlier and earlier every year, etc. Christmas has become a bizarre manifestation of what passes for in the minds of many as Christian culture. It misses the mark (like much of CCM, pop Christian novels and the like) because it is horribly sub-biblical, and as such is not Christian at all. The crass materialism of the holiday is utterly opposed to everything Christ lived here on earth. Xmas (leave Jesus' exalted title out of it) reminds me of Bruce Cockburn's line in "Laughter"- "They tried to build a new Jerusalem, and ended up with New York." I don't think anyone is laughing Bruce.

Under the Influence
There have been a number of books over the years which have shaped my thinking, especially those I read when I was "coming of age" in my Christian faith. Some of these include Francis Schaeffer's Escape from Reason (I saw Dr. Schaeffer in Pittsburgh on his How then Shall We Live tour), James Sire's Universe Next Door, and Barr and Macaulay's Being Human. All of these books helped me to see (much to my relief!) that I didn't have to throw away my brain to be Christian.
The book that really brought me over to the study of art history was Rookmaaker's Art Needs No Justication, which sadly has been out of print for years, and is, in my opinion, the best book on Christianity and arts ever written. Thankfully, the book can be found online here. While you're at it, you can read Schaeffer's wonderful "little" book Art and Bible online as well.
Happy reading.

Back to the Garden
On my drive to work today I saw a white van painted with the inscription "Eden Pest Control Services." I had to chuckle to myself when I read it. Something tells me that they didn't need pest control in the Garden. (Is this why you never see rats or termites in Thomas Kinkaid paintings?) Of course, their selling point might be that they are trying to undo the effect of the curse in the area of those nasty pests. Could it be that Terminix and Raid are agents of grace?

Eric Gill Quote I Stumbled Across
"Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building - like the Tower Bridge - or a classical front put on a steel frame - like the Daily Telegraph building on Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living - not something added, like sugar on a pill."
(Sounds a lot like Ruskin in the Seven Lamps of Architecture.)

My Little Talk Today
This has been a busy week for me. I was invited to give an assembly presentation on Christianity and Culture for the Classical Christian school my oldest daughter attends. It went pretty well, I think, with the exception that I had about 50 minutes of material and about 30 minutes to actually present it.
I left the students with a challenge to truly see themselves for who they are: that they are kings and queens called by God to rule over the earth and take domintion over it by responsible cultural development. I reminded them that they are called to participate in the global project to make culture and see their place in this, no matter how small or "insignificant". And I reminded them that all that they do in this world should be offered up to God as an act of worship. I hope they got a glimpse of this glorious calling to which they are called.

Two-Kingdom Critique - IV
(My most recent entry in this series is here.)
The antithesis.com site just published an excerpt from Michael Horton's recently re-released Where in the World Is the Church. This book is largely an apology for the Two Kingom View (TKV) of culture, although he leaves the door open at points to a tranformationist view. I find much of what Prof. Horton says in this book confusing and/or muddled. For example, about Kuyper's tranformationist appoach, Horton states:
"Nevertheless, Kuyper did make "Christian" versions of many things in the world: Christian schools, newspapers, and political parties tended to obscure the earlier Protestant confidence in the realm of nature as possessing sufficient light and justification for its existence without having to be organized as specifically Christian. This Kuyperian spirit has been especially attractive in some circles in North America, because it is world-embracing and eschews the pietistic retreat from society, and yet it should not be too hastily concluded that one can find a distinctively "Christian" philosophy, political theory, or aesthetic. If these are indeed realms of common grace and natural revelation, they do not require a specifically Christian explanation. Looking for one will only tend to polarize Christians from non-Christians until believers are at last exiled again from the public square, forced to pursue their "Christian" philosophy in their own spiritual ghetto."
Two things need to be said in response. First, Kuyper never said that the cultural enterprise need to be "justified" by being "specifically Christian" in order to be worthwhile or valid. (Citation Dr. Horton?) Kuyper wrote a hefty three volume treatise entitled "Common Grace" discussing how God works both inside and outside the Covenant People to develop the earth through culture. While it is true that one cannot learn how to mix colors for a painting by reading the Bible, it is equally true that unless one's mind is transformed by tthe Word of God (Rom 12:2), one will - if consistent with their non-biblical world-view - use this "natural" knowledge in twisted, ugly way.
Second, it would seem that Dr. Horton was too hasty to conclude that Kuyper "too hastily concluded that one can find a distinctively "Christian" philosophy, political theory, or aesthetic." Earlier in the same excerpt published by Antithesis, Horton explains how the respective worldviews of Medieval Catholic artists and 17th century Dutch reformed painters resulted in a markedly different approach to making art. Worldview does make a difference. Christians will do culture differently than non-Christians (and other Christians with a different theological outlook) because of a difference in worldview outlook. (Non-Christian's do often outwardly mimic faithful approaches to culture-making, accouting for a superficial similarity.) Why Horton fails to be consistent on this point baffles me.

"Oh Bother!" - Where Art Thou?
Came across a reference to what looks like a wonderful spoof on Postmodern Lit Crit called the Postmodern Pooh by Frederick Crews. You can read a review of it here. I have found Derrida, Liotard, et al to be more like Eeyore. Could this account for Pooh's odd approach to spelling?

Not Necessarily Wild About Harry
Here are few takes on Harry Potter from a Christian perspective: Alan Jacobs says that HP is really about technology. Gerry Wisz says that he knew Merlin and that HP was no Merlin. Krista Faries (her real name) analyzes HP by the light of Aristotle. And Doug Jones and Ben Merkle give HP the Credenda Agenda treatment.
Tolkien Sweeps
We just finished watching Fellowship of the Ring last night on video. I didn't notice it in the theater, but I think there was a little too much use of those wildly sweeping/flying camera shots. Once or twice os okay, but twenty or thirty times? It got tiring after a while.

About My Most Recent Post
This was intended as a little joke of sorts - poking a little fun at Kinkade, who (of course) calls himself the "Painter of Light(tm)" (Cuyp never claimed this honor for himself). The absolute master of this type of idealistic, luminescent landscape was Claude Lorraine, who pretty much invented it. A whole string of artists have followed in Claude's footsteps. Kinkade's style is just a poor imitation of this tradition.

Idealism Revisited
The latest from the "painter of light".
Monday, November 04, 2002
I just saw that Catholic poet Dana Gioia was nominated by President Bush to be head of the National Endowment for the Arts. Gioia is a wonderful poet who is famous for his essay "Can Poetry Matter" which appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in the early nineties (read his poem "Litany"). He has been a frequent guest on Ken Myer's Mars Hill Audio magazine, celebrating the pleasures and nobility of poetry.
This raises the question: should the government be involved as a patron of the arts? This has caused a firestorm of controversy in past. I know that I would not want to accept money from the government to support my artistic habit as a matter of priniciple. Thus, I don't think I would take the position if offered to me (not that they would ever would in a million years). But if we going to have to have someone to be the Director of the NEA, it might as well be someone as wise, sane and erudite as Mr. Gioia.

Puritan Priorities
Gerry Wisz hits the nail on the head with this essay from Razor Mouth:
"One thing you have to say about the Puritans, though, is that they did it. They did become that city on a hill, if only for a generation. Yet if you look at the best of them (not the alarmists or smarmy introspectionists), you will find hardly anything on eschatology (though most were partial-preterists), on Roman Catholicism (though most disdained the city on seven hills), or on politics (though many sat in Parliament and instituted an entirely new government).
"You'll find quite a bit on the Church, plenty on the Christian life, but lots on Christ—his person, character, atonement, abiding, faithfulness, obedience to the Father, and his glory. They stretched to make these things clear to people, and those people took those things and built—however tentatively—a new civilization. Maybe there's something we can take from that."
As Sinclair Ferguson explains in the intoduction to Christian Life: a Doctrinal Introduction , a deep understanding of basic biblical doctrines, combined with real faith leads to a changed life.
And changed lives in turn result in a Christian culture. Its really is that simple.

You are allowed up to an hour for each dive on Splashdown ...
each half day trip is 2 dives, with up to an hour surface interval between. You decide your profiles--how long for the depth of the site.

to lead a group if this is requested. If you want your own Flag, and to do your own adventuring without the Dive guide--welcome to what most of our regulars do :-)
as shallow as 40 feet on many of the reef crowns, with inshore ledges at around 55 feet deep, or alternatively, the deeper our side over the "fingers" is around 95 feet to the sand. While shallow, this is a place top adventure divers and experts from all over the world love...
We were motoring around on top of a 225 foot deep wreck in a 4 knot current. We thought it would not be possible. The captain knew how fast my buddies and I drop from a few recreational dives we'd done with them before... and she calculated the trajectory we would need in her mind.....She even asked us if we would like to land on the Wheel House....Ha Ha.......In fact, we dropped right on the wheel house....That was the first amazing "Deep Dive" we did with Splashdown, the first of many. Splashdown is an amazing operation!Bill Mee Famous Tech and Cave diver of WKPP
I like doing hour long dives, and not having our dive sites chosen by an instructor with a bunch of "barely able to swim divers". Splashdown does not allow this, it's one of very few boats where you never have to worry about students ruining your choice of dive sites. And, David makes diving fun....If we can't be having FUN out there, then why do it ? :-)Sandra Edwards Locally Famous U/W Photographer
While the "Art of Drift Diving" was first created by Frank Hammett off of Palm Beach in the late 50's, no one in the world has taken this farther than Splashdown Divers. What this means to most divers, is that when they reach the bottom, they are in EXACTLY the place on the reef or wreck they could only have hoped to be on, if they knew the reef. It is effortless, the diver just drifts--the Captain and boat do all the work :-)
In all the world, THIS is the place to LEARN DRIFT DIVING, by the people that do it the best!
Everyone that works for Splashdown is committed to providing a level of service that will feel familiar to the Dive Tourists staying at 4 AND 5 Star Hotels. We want to help you to have as much fun as you possibly can.

시베리아 야생에서 온 차가버섯은 자연스럽게 활력을 북돋고 스트레스를 조절하며 면역 체계를 강하게 유지시켜줍니다.
사얀 헬스(Sayan Health)에서는 "신의 선물"로 익히 알려진 이 차가버섯을 탁월한 효과와 함께 쉽게 먹을 수 있는 건강 제품들로 탈바꿈시켰습니다.
For thousands of years Chaga has been demonstrated to:
Manage the toll stress takes on your body. As an adaptogen, chaga helps your body adapt to stress.*
Defend your body against free radicals. Chaga's high ORAC value indicates powerful antioxidant fighting power.*
Promote energy levels and stamina;*
Support immune system strength;*
Support healthy blood sugar levels;*
Help stimulate mental alertness even when you feel fatigued;*
Stimulate body detoxification and improved digestion;*
Promote glowing, young-looking skin and full, glossy hair;
* Optimize your overall diet with its rich supply of vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients;*
Stress tears at your nerves and heart. Pollutants drag down your metabolism. Microbes worm their way into you, laying siege to your cells. And free radicals steal electrons, twisting molecules into ghoulish oxidized forms. It's a tough world we live in. You need every ally you can find.
For centuries people have turned to chaga to help them recharge and live long, healthy lives. Now, research is confirming the folk wisdom surrounding chaga's health benefits. Once reserved for hardy Siberians who knew how to harvest and prepare them, chaga's life-sustaining nutrition is now available to people throughout the world.
Chaga offers you a treasure trove of powerful nutrition from superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the body's most powerful antioxidants to immune-bolstering beta glucans.
Chaga contains special plant sterols and flavonoids, like lanosterol and betulin. It nourishes you with an array of phenols, triterpenes, melanin and minerals.
In your body, chaga works as an adaptogen, helping you adjust to stressors. It supports your immune system, helping your defenses react quickly and effectively*.
And when it comes to fighting off the ravages of free radicals, chaga is one of the most powerful antioxidants on Earth. When it comes to measuring antioxidant capacity, it outpaces superfoods like blueberries, acai and pomegranate.
Preliminary animal studies reveal that it seems to help improve memory and bolster energy . Lab studies indicate it may stop pain by inhibiting known pain triggers such as nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and the infamous cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).
The best chaga for revitalizing your health comes from the birch forests on the mountains of Siberia. Why?
The more severe the climate, the stronger the chaga. In the Siberian winter the temperature regularly drops to 40 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. In this challenging environment, chaga has to produce powerful metabolites to protect itself. Your body can use these same metabolites to strengthen your health.
The cleaner the environment, the purer the chaga. Chaga absorbs environmental toxins like a sponge. In Siberia's remote and pristine forests, chaga grows free of contamination from industrial pollutants. Sayan Health's chaga is harvested from ecologically clean areas of Siberia, at least 200-300 kilometers from any major city.
The older the chaga, the more powerful it is. Chaga mushrooms harvested from birch trees that are at least 10 to 15 years old have higher nutrient concentrations.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease
Sayan Health has transformed this health-sustaining "King of Herbs" or "Gift from God" - as it's known locally - into powerful, easy-to-use chaga health products.
Sayan Health customer, Junny Barahona, writes, "I love the way chaga makes my body feel! The detox benefits of this amazing tea are huge. And it tastes great!"
Brayan Henderson agrees, "Siberian chaga extract is absolutely great product! It helps me to clean out my digestive system. After taking chaga extract for about three weeks I noticed that my skin became smoother and rashes disappeared. I feel that I have more energy as well."
John Grey: "Received this a couple of weeks ago after learning about the benefits of chaga from someone I know. I wasn't sure what to expect with the extract or how it would taste, and I have to say that it's great! Definitely a noticeable difference with digestion, and I'm not sure if this is a common effect or not, but I've found it helps with relaxing at night if I drink it in the evening before going to sleep. I've been mixing it with hot water to make a tea-style drink out of it and I don't need to sweeten it. The taste is very light, not overpowering at all. I'm thinking about trying it in coffee next. The extract powder is a very fine powder that easily mixes in water."

Momof1 - posted on 09/16/2011 ( 10 moms have responded )
I'm trying to get a job that has hours of 4 PM to 12 AM. I would work 7 days a week, then have 3 days off. The problem is my husband doesn't get home until 6 PM. My husbands sister said she would watch our son from about 3:30 to 6, for us. Because the days are weird, (7 days on, 3 days off) I might work as little as 1 day from Monday to Friday or as many as 5 days Mon. through Friday (not counting the weekend, since my husband is home.) So I was just wondering how much would be suitable to pay her. She lives about 2 miles from us and she wouldn't really have to "do" anything with him, except maybe change a diaper. He would already be fed until dinner, already have napped. She would just need to watch and play with him.
Also, I might be asking my sister (who lives about 30 minutes, 15 miles I think away) to watch him 1 day, as to not put so much pressure on his sister. Would I pay her more, since she drives further?
I was thinking that for his sister $20.00 a week sounds good, but I don't know if that is really low. That isn't even $5.00 an hour. But she wouldn't be doing much. I do know that if I had an actual, unrelated to us, babysitter, the rate would be higher.
I also wanted to ask how to go about finding a trustworthy babysitter. My husband thinks we should start looking, since we do not have family or grandparents to watch him. Just his sister or my sister. And all my friends live pretty far away just to watch him for a couple hours. I am very un-trustful of hiring somebody we do not know, because no matter how much you look at their background, you just never know. I do have a couple neighbors around here (that I don't really know) that stay at home with their kids, but I thought it would be weird to just go up to them and ask them, since I don't really know them. Thanks for all your help.
