We had such a great day yesterday! My reward for a very early start was this beautiful sunrise.
The first thing I did was to pull the turkey out of the refrigerator and get busy making a pecan pie!
I had never made a pecan pie before and since the ingredients for it were so easy to find for once I enjoyed putting it together. I had no idea it was such an easy pie to bake, especially with roll out crusts!
Then I got busy with the turkey getting it ready to slow roast all day long. It was nice to get it all prepped and into the oven. From there, I could pretty much relax a bit, putzing around the kitchen, getting the other dishes prepped and ready. My sister-in-law found these giant, fresh brussel sprouts and I gotta say, she made me a believer about how delicious they can be when fixed correctly!
It was a beautiful day so we sat outside for a bit and soaked in the sunshine. The Minnesota Vikings were on TV so we recorded the parade and watched them lose once again. They started out so well, but have really faded to be a very average team. But I digress.
Doug wanted us to watch the Ted Talk called Gratitude by Louis Schwartzberg. You can view it here. We've used this clip in various ways through the years and it's such a great reminder that finding beauty and gratitude in small things is how to really cultivate a life filled with gratitude. It was a great pre-meal viewing.
I was excited to set the table with the beautiful china that I inherited from my mom. I had not used it for 2 years because of moving around this world. Each time I take one of the pieces and set it on the table, I am filled with memories of our own family celebrations. The china has a great story too...my mom bought it in Sweden back in 1956 when she traveled through Europe as a single woman. We used it throughout my childhood and I always loved it. She gave it to us when they downsized and we shipped it back to Sweden! We loved decorating our table and enjoying meals with it as we gathered many people from the around the world in our home. Now it is back in California where it spent so many years in the Mullen household. It is truly an heirloom that evokes deep and warm connections.
Our garden yielded some beautiful things that we enjoyed during the day. We juiced the grapefruit, limes and lemons and enjoyed freshly squeezed cocktails and since I hadn't bought any flowers, I simply went out and clipped away at the beautiful blossoms that surrounded us! They made for a lovely centerpiece and fit in well with the desert mileu. We ended up eating indoors because it was a bit windy on the patio but the sunshine streamed through well enough.
While getting the food ready we got a call from Doug's brother and our nephew in Minnesota. It was fun to hear the voices of other family and know that they were celebrating well across the country.
Finally the turkey was done, the sides were finished and we were ready to dig in.
I am very thankful that Doug's mom and sister could join us this year. It was delightful to share our first Thanksgiving back in the US with them and fun for them to do something new as well given the reality of losing Doug's dad last March. Obviously there was more than enough food! But we are set for a good round of leftovers today and my cousins will join us which will be really fun.
We were stuffed to gills with delicious fare.
In fact, everyone was so full that we didn't even eat pie. But I had to at least taste it! It was delicious and I'm sure others will enjoy it today!
We ended our evening under a starry sky around a fire in our backyard. Sitting out on Thanksgiving evening was definitely something that Doug and his family had never experienced. It was perfectly relaxing and a great way to continue the rich conversation that the day of leisurely eating and drinking gave way to.
On this day after Thanksgiving I continue to be filled with thanks. I will not support the craze that is Black Friday. Shopping is the last thing that I would want to follow the day we enjoyed yesterday. Instead, I'll probably find my way back to the patio, relax on the loungers, maybe take a swim and soak in the jacuzzi, eat leftovers and continue to enjoy the joy of being with loved ones in this new and beautiful place that we call home. I'm grateful. I hope you are too.


text: 2 Chronicles 7:11-22The Message (MSG) God's Confirmation 11 Solomon completed building The Temple of God and the royal palace—the projects he had set his heart on doing. Everything was done—success! Satisfaction! 12-18 God appeared to Solomon that very night and said, "I accept your prayer; yes, I have chosen this place as a temple for sacrifice, a house of worship. If I ever shut off the supply of rain from the skies or order the locusts to eat the crops or send a plague on my people, and my people, my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, I'll be there ready for you: I'll listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health. From now on I'm alert day and night to the prayers offered at this place. Believe me, I've chosen and sanctified this Temple that you have built: My Name is stamped on it forever; my eyes are on it and my heart in it always. As for you, if you live in my presence as your father David lived, pure in heart and action, living the life I've set out for you, attentively obedient to my guidance and judgments, then I'll back your kingly rule over Israel—make it a sure thing on a sure foundation. The same covenant guarantee I gave to David your father I'm giving to you, namely, 'You can count on always having a descendant on Israel's throne.' 19-22 "But if you or your sons betray me, ignoring my guidance and judgments, taking up with alien gods by serving and worshiping them, then the guarantee is off: I'll wipe Israel right off the map and repudiate this Temple I've just sanctified to honor my Name. And Israel will be nothing but a bad joke among the peoples of the world. And this Temple, splendid as it now is, will become an object of contempt; tourists will shake their heads, saying, 'What happened here? What's the story behind these ruins?' Then they'll be told, 'The people who used to live here betrayed their God, the very God who rescued their ancestors from Egypt; they took up with alien gods, worshiping and serving them. That's what's behind this God-visited devastation.'"

Members of the press,
The Democrats are at it again with an unbelievably misleading TV ad.
In its new ad, "Good," the DGA- and union-funded Maine Forward PAC takes a statement from LePage wildly out of context.
TRANSCRIPT: "LePage even said, 'if kids want a good education, they should go to private school, and if you can't afford it, tough luck.'"
Maine Forward's statement is so far out of context, even the liberal Bangor Daily News editorial board called out Democrats for the same attack back in 2012.
From the BDN editorial (emphasis added):We're not criticizing the job of the MEA — to protect the interests of teachers — but it is important for Maine residents to have all the information. That also includes putting LePage's comments in context. The quote that got the most attention from the Wells event — and that spurred the MEA to say LePage was "caught in a bald-faced lie discrediting public schools" — involved the governor saying "tough luck" to Maine students. That sounds bad on the surface, but what was he really referring to?
He said charter school legislation has been a good step so far, but overall, "If you want a good education, go to an academy. If you want a good education, go to a private school. If you can't afford it, tough luck. You can go to the public school. Until the state of Maine decides, and the governor's staff and the Legislature sit around the table and say, 'What's best for our students,' we are not going to fix our schools."
LePage spoke harshly. Clearly, using a rough tone and comparing public and private schools isn't an effective strategy to motivate teachers, administrators and school board members to improve academic achievement (and it stirs up the opposition). But the governor's comments were tied to a larger message about the need for reform and for different parties to work together on changes. Part of reform for LePage involves online and distance learning. It also involves school choice — making it easier for students to choose what school they attend — an idea strongly opposed by the MEA.
LePage's uncut comments are an easy target for those who oppose his proposals. We just encourage you to get the whole story. Understanding the full picture includes putting his quotes in context, recognizing the agenda behind the accusations and knowing that both LePage and the MEA take part in their share of political games.
By keeping the statement out of context, the Democratic PAC is trying to make it sound like Gov. LePage doesn't care about public schools or students. When put in context, it becomes obvious that the governor was decrying the status quo and holding it up as an example of why we need to work together to reform Maine's schools.
The Facts on Gov. LePage's Education Record
QUOTE from Rick Bennett, Maine Republican Party Chairman:
"Congressman Michaud should immediately denounce this deceptive ad that takes the Governor's comments so wildly out of context. There will be lots of criticisms about each candidate's record coming from each side, but to recycle a line of attack that even a left-leaning newspaper said was out of context smacks of desperation. Gov. LePage is where he is today because of his education, and that's why he is so passionate about reforming our schools and making sure every Maine child has the opportunities he had."

JJ Gibbs
Subject: Business and Management
Year joined: 2015
Voice type: Tenor 2
Position: Business Manager
Lord Jonathan Jefferey Gibbs is now an Out of the Blue veteran, 2017/18 being his third year in the group. During his time in a blue suit, Lord Gibbs has developed a passionate tenor voice, and an equally passionate following of wide-eyed fans, thanks to his questionable roles in Christmas music videos and the adorable smile that accompanies his inability to wink.
Much like the blue jay, the JJ has developed an extraordinary ability to sleep at night in solitude. His snore, coming in at 5.2 on the Richter scale, has evolved for maximum comfort during the harsh winters of the Out of the Blue UK tour, and is truly a sight to behold (though not a sound to be heard).

Also on the second day, Saturday, were two more talks. The first was an Industry Panel consisting of Mara from Walker Books, Sarah from Hot Key, Janetta Otter-Barry and Kate Wilson from Nosy Crow. Mar publishes teen and younger fiction. She looks for voice, good story, writing and characters. Sarah publishes from 9 -19. Is enthusiatic about ebooks. She publishes both e and print books together. Looks for what she wants to read. Janetta only publishes books by her old authors from Frances Lincoln. Kate publishes from 0-12. Looks at transmedia. Has to be child centric and mum friendly. Has to be sure they can do something for you. Both Val and Viv work with illustrators, so I didn't take many notes about them being a writer.
Question time
Do you accept submissions and how? Kate: Yes. Sarah - Yes. Janetta - yes but shorter text picture books. Val - Yes, do research online and in bookshops. Viv - yes. Accepts PDFs of imaes. She will Google you. Mara - yes, even though the website says no. editorial@walker.
Mind if the ms goes to agent first? Mara says they let me have by -. If with agent then work is good. Kate said some agents she trusts. Vic said down to personality. Kate thinks that publishers offer more. Sarah said agents can get you into conversations you wouldn't get on your own. Kate never looks at agents who don't offer world rights.
If already published, mind? Sarah said no, submit idea. Kate also said no. Janetta only has established authors. Are you accepting fiction? Her area only. New editor to arrive.
Dream submission? Mara - strong junior fiction 9-12 like David Almond. Kate - not in this world, fantasy. Janetta - pb. Develop on list. Illustrative non-fiction. Work with other writers in other countries, so yes. Kate - author promotion - is cost factor overseas.
Trend for PB for older readers - No. Had to sell abroad. Historical fiction revival? Didn't realise that was dead. Has important place. Kate thinks it's interesting time for writers.
Later was State of the Nation where various people involved in the industry had a discussion, from bookseller, library to publisher. Childrens' Writers in South London was mentioned, something I'd not heard of and am interested in. The main thing said was It's not you, it's the bottom line, when talking about rejections. Publishers tend to put marketing to one lead author and the others have to fend for themselves. In the US, midlist authors are struggling. They look at low track records. US take more chance with new authors who have no track records. Looked at generate a bit. Come marketers. Claire agreed that easier to help debut authors.
Relentless Revolution (Digital) - Melissa said it's interesting time to work on. Wants to inc all authors. Think there's a plan to sell ebooks, too. Strategies in places. Claire said contracts, watching and waiting and figuring it out. Potential in ebooks for increasing readers. Wanting it to work for you. Matt said there is confusion in libraries about Amazon Prime. In libraries you can borrow as many books as you want for free but Amazon you have to pay for just one. Lin Oliver said we should embrace it all, and is excellent for all. Think of ourselves as creators. We have win Amazon. Issue of discoverability. Missing the gatekeeper. That we can read. Beverley said 1 in 6 books bought b y adults for kids by reader request. Should adapt. Don't forget story is at heart of it. Lin said we don't have to worry about gamasitation. Others can do that. Danger for kids to sustain reading text.
Endangered (libraries) School libraries aren't compulsory. Digital review - if that goes then public have no one that can check for them if councils are doing right. Matt got rather emotional about all this as he is a librarian. Candy wonders if libraries should fit in with what's going on. Matt said that libraries are for people who can't afford books, and are first contact with council. Lin said that libraries in the US are the same. They are using libraries more for functions such as homework, to learn and gather for the communities. Less likely to close then. Children can phone central library for tutorial help.
Merging of the giants. Claire thinks it's good news but fewer people to sell to. Problem is evaluation of books. Costs - if book is usual £12.99, then ridiculous now considering ebook prices being low. People now think that price of book is right.
And that is is for talks. Next time I will talk about author branding and performing and what I learnt.

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
The word faint means to be weary, to tire (as if from wearisome flight). Have you ever been there? Have you ever been physically exhausted? Have you ever been emotionally weary? There is nothing so draining as emotional weariness. When you find yourself physically tired sleep can restore your body; but emotional weariness drains one to the very soul. Perhaps there is nothing quite as difficult as getting yourself out of bed when you are emotional weary.
Have you been there?
Have you ever lost heart? Perhaps it was the news that the cancer was back – just when it appeared life was getting back to normal. Perhaps a friend that was disloyal and turned on you in ways you never expected. A wayward child for whom you pray for day after day; yet you never see any evidence that God has heard your prayer. Financial struggles that seem to never let up can cause discouragement. Life situations give us plenty of opportunities to become discouraged. Discouragement is a part of life. Perhaps the easiest place to encounter discouragement is in the mundane, day to day situations encountered in life. Walking thru life can cause us to become weary. John Claypool adequately describes this phrase: 'walk and not faint':
"Some people feel the sequence of this Isaiah passage is all turned around and that the highest form of God's help ought to be the soaring of ecstasy. They say it should read, "First you walk, then you run, and finally you mount up with wings as an eagle." But I think the writer knew what he was doing when he set down the promises as he did, for in the dark stretches of life, the most difficult discipline of all is not that of soaring or even of running. It consists of "keeping on keeping on" when events have slowed you to a walk, when it seems that in spite of everything you are going to crumple under the load and faint away.' (From the book Tracks of a Fellow Struggler – How to Handle Grief)
Sometimes it is hard just to get up and do it all over again. Have you been there? I know I have. How we handle discouragement will determine if the hard situations in life will derail us or develop us. Discouragement will come. How do we handle these times when we are emotionally weary?
1. Reacquaint Yourself with the Savior
If we are saved, we know the Lord as our Savior. We have a relationship with Him. We know He died on the cross to pay for our sins and we have put our dependence in what He did on Calvary as our only hope for redemption. We know Christ. However, sometimes we forget Him in times of discouragement and hardship.
I love what the writer of Hebrews has to say about being weary. "For consider Him (Christ)… lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." I have written in the margin of my Bible next to this verse: "Solution to depression". When we feel weary and discouraged that is when we need to reacquaint ourselves with our Savior. He endured so much for us! He was perfect – yet HE became sin for us. He left Heaven for you. If you were the ONLY person in the world for whom He needed to die in order to redeem you – He would have endured it all just to save your soul! That is amazing.
When I see all that the Savior endured for me, I find in His example strength to walk and not faint.
2. Review God's Goodness to You
I love the words of the Psalmist: "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living." It's pretty amazing that the Psalmist made an affirmative that he WOULD have lost of heart – become completely discouraged - if he had not seen God's goodness.
The 'goodness of the Lord' are all the way he has showed His loving kindness to us. So, the Psalmist said he reviewed all the ways He could see God's kindness to him as a person. Our God is a very loving God – He is so kind to us. In fact in Psalm 33:5 it says, "the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD." In times of discouragement it is easy to forget all the ways that we have been blessed by the kindness of our loving God.
I was challenged years ago after our daughter died to daily write down all the things for which I was thankful. All the ways God had blessed me. It was imperative that I not forget in the midst of suffering and grief that my God was still good. Everywhere we look we see the kindness of God. From the beauty of creation to the salvation of our souls we are constantly reminded that God loves us and has been so loving and kind to us. Sometimes, we just have to look for it – rest assured you will not need to look far.
3. Be Renewed
If you wanted to find someone who had reason to be discouraged and depressed in the Bible you would find it in the apostle Paul. His life was far from easy after he became a Christian. He was imprisoned, beaten, betrayed by others (unsaved and saved alike), and yet we see Paul singing praises to God amidst terrible situations. He gives explains to his readers how he was able to avoid discouragement during difficult times in his letter to the Corinthian church.
"For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day." II Corinthians 4: 15 (Emphasis mine)
How could Paul say that his inward man was renewed day by day and what does that mean? The word renewed means to renovate. The inward man (Paul's soul) was being renovated (made over / new) through the various trials that Paul was facing! The trials were bringing him further on in his sanctification! This is exciting. The trails you and I encounter in our lives will cause us to be more Christlike and will prepare us for eternity with Christ. They have a purpose! It's not the cheap cliché, "Life is hard – and then you die". No, the trials in life will have eternal value when we allow God to use them in our lives.
It is clear in the text that this renewal in Paul's soul took place with two different exercises.
* First of all, Paul realized that the hardships in life will end.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment…" II Corinthians 4:17. When difficulties came he reviewed this truth in his mind – this will not last forever! In my mind I wonder how many times Paul reminded himself of this truth. As he was feeling the blows of a beating did he repeat this fact in his head? Did his mouth whisper the words, 'but for a moment' as his ankles swelled in the stocks?
*Secondly,when Paul encountered hard times he choose to focus on eternity.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal eight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." When we realize that the things of this life will not last – but what God is doing in our hearts to conform us to Him will last for eternity we find the strength to walk and not faint.
Are you discouraged right now? I challenge you to spend time reacquainting yourself with Jesus Christ, look for all the blessings you have in your life right now; and allow the Spirit of God to conform you to sanctify your through the trials you encounter.
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
Thanks for stopping by – I am so glad you did.

Today is the first day of Ramadan the month in which Muslims from all over the world will fast from sunrise to sunset. We have breakfast in the morning called (Suhoor) which is just before sunrise and just after sunset we break the fast with dates and Milk followed by a meal (Iftar) Within our community we usually have meals in the Mosque or at home with family and friends (Its beautiful)
Almost every Muslim will try to give up bad habits and re-frame from doing anything that is unpleasing to God. During Ramadan you will find that Muslims spend more time in the mosque praying and reading the Quran, most will try to complete the Quran at least once during this month.
Fasting is intended to teach Muslims self-discipline, restraint and generosity. At the end of Ramadan our community have a huge celebration this is called Eid-ul-fitr, the festival of breaking fasts.
We also have a very interesting programme Rtv, this was hugely successful last year and had many views on YouTube the programme has three categories which are Knowledge, Inspire and Spotlight Rtv check it out.
For all of my Muslim readers have a beautiful month, make it beneficial xx

|Dr. Tara Quymn
|Thank you God
|1st appearance:
|Home Is Where the Hate Is
|Voice Artist:
|Nina Hellman
Dr. Tara Quymn was a scientist that was staying in the Amazon Rain Forest with her two daughters, Nancy and Drew, and their bodyguard, Ginnie.
She first appeared in The Guild book as one of the scientists The Monarch sees when he's picking his new arch.
When she was younger, Tara was Dr. Venture's playmate and would often go on imaginary adventures with him, Kano, and H.E.L.P.eR. in Rusty's basement, while her mother, Mz. Quymn, and stepfather Colonel Gentleman would party upstairs with the original Team Venture.
She traveled to the Rain Forest in search of Solomon's Heart, a rare fruit that only grows in a certain valley in the Amazon Rain Forest on trees that are at least 40 years old. Solomon's Heart can cure cancer, but its existence is being threatened so Dr. Quymn is trying to both protect them and study them as much as possible.
During her time away from Dr. Venture she has yearned for his embrace, even though she may be involved in a relationship with her bodyguard Ginnie. She denies Rusty at first, but quickly changes her mind and advances on him one night while he's in his tent. She brings him back to her hut and continues her advance until Ginnie bursts in and breaks them up. Ginnie attempts to beat down Dr. Venture, but Brock steps in a battles her until they accidentally set the hut on fire. As Brock and Ginnie fight, Dr. Quymn, an epileptic, has a seizure, which leads Dean and Dr. Venture to believe that she is the Wereodile. Ginnie breaks free of Brock's bind and explains the situation while everyone exits the still burning hut.
Dr. Quymn and her group leave the Rain Forest soon thereafter. Col. Gentlemen was later quoted as saying that them splitting ways broke her heart.
Incest Hypothesis[edit]
Immediately after the release of Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman, fans began to speculate that Tara was actually Dr Venture's sister. The following is the current evidence from the episode used to support this hypothesis:
1. The affair between Dr. Venture's father and her mother.
2. Their extreme similarity in appearance.
3. The probability of twins being a genetic trait. Although, twins are not genetically linked with the father's line and the likelihood of conceiving twins is not affected by male genes at all but is influenced entirely by the mother.
- Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider video game series, with her braided hair, English accent, midriff-baring top, and acrobatic moves
- Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, from the TV show of the same name
- Her name is also a homophone for "quim," which is British slang for a vagina.

The Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 was one of four Galaxy Pro tablets launched at CES 2014 in Las Vegas earlier this month, and it's now available to pre-order in the UK.
However, you'll need a few quid in the bank (and then some), as the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Wi-Fi pre-order price comes in at a whopping £649.
That's the story over on the official Samsung Store, where the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Wi-Fi can be pre-ordered in black or white.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 release date, the South Koreans say it should start shipping on February 4, which is Tuesday next week.
Easing the pain somewhat, Samsung is throwing in a free Gamepad worth £59 for the first 300 pre-orders, effectively making the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 price a slightly more palatable £590.
Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 specs include a 2560 x 1600 resolution on the 12.2in display, Exynos 5 Octa (Wi-Fi) or Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (LTE) processor, 3GB of RAM, an 8MP rear camera, 2MP front shooter, 9,500mAh battery, and the latest version of the world's most popular smartphone operating system, namely KitKat Android 4.4.
Fancy software features include Enhanced Multi Window, e-Meeting, Air Command (hover with the stylus and press the wee button), Action Memo, Screen Write and Pen Window.

|Synallaxis (1)
First collected and described by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle (3), the rufous-capped spinetail is named for its bright orange-brown crown, which is bordered by a buff 'eyebrow' streak and dusky-coloured cheeks (2) (4). The rest of the upperparts are mainly brown, more reddish-brown on the wings and on the tail, which is strongly graduated and typical of the Synallaxis genus. The chin and throat are whitish-grey, becoming grey on the upper breast, and paler buffy-brown on the belly, sides and flanks (2) (4). The beak is dark, and the legs and feet greenish-grey. The male and female rufous-capped spinetail are similar in appearance, while the juvenile has a much duller crown, and underparts that are washed yellow or brownish (2).
The rufous-capped spinetail is usually seen in pairs, and often joins mixed-species flocks (2) (4). Most foraging takes place in the understorey, with the prey, thought to be arthropods, probably gleaned from foliage and small branches, mainly within a metre or two of the ground (2). Like other members of the genus, this species often draws attention to itself by its frequently given vocalisations. The song of the rufous-capped spinetail is a fast, somewhat nasal di-di-di-di-reét, often repeated for long periods and often given between the members of a breeding pair (2) (4). The alarm call is a distinctive, low-pitched trill (2).
The rufous-capped spinetail is thought to be monogamous, and breeds during the spring and summer, building a relatively large nest of up to 40 centimetres in length. The nest is placed around 1 to 2.5 metres above the ground, amongst dense vegetation, and is constructed from a mass of sticks, which are usually thorny. The entrance is a tunnel which leads to the nest chamber. Clutch size is two to three eggs (2).
The rufous-capped spinetail usually inhabits evergreen forest and secondary forest, where it is typically found in the undergrowth and along the forest edge, and is particularly common in thickets of Chusquea bamboo (2) (4).
The rufous-capped spinetail is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The rufous-capped spinetail occurs in a number of protected areas throughout its range, including Itatiaia and Serra dos Órgãos National Parks, Serra do Mar State Park, and Augusto Ruschi Biological Reserve in Brazil, and in Iguazú National Park and Urugua-í Provincial Park in Argentina (2). There are no specific conservation measures reported for this species.

text: The best thing about little kids is that they always act how they feel: they won't smile unless they're happy and you will definitely know when they are sad. Tessa was no exception. She is such a doll! As long as Tessa could run around and play, she was thrilled. She would spin and spin in circles until she fell over. She loved throwing rocks and climbing stairs. And, Tessa loved singing with her grandma and grandpa. There are so many images I adore from this session because they are full of exuberance, just like Tessa.

The reason for the season
Digistamps4Joy, and I have made up a card from it. I found a 'book' of what initially looked like silver patterned paper, bought it, then got a wonderful surprise when I opened it at home. It was a set of velum paper, over printed with the most gorgeous silver designs! Here you can see how I layered it on top of a piece of purple cardstock. The stamp was printed onto white card, cut with a nestabilities shape, the edges stippled with light pink and purple, and the flowers coloured in with pastel gel pens. This has come out so nicely, and I think the velum gives a soft feeling to the whole card and stamp.

text: Joyce Tenneson (born in Weston, Massachusetts on May 29, 1945) is an American fine art photographer known for her distinctive style of photography, which often involves nude or semi-nude women. Tenneson earned her master's degree in photography from George Washington University after starting as a model for Polaroid. She left her job as a photography professor at 39, and moved from Washington to New York. Tenneson shoots primarily with the Polaroid 20x24 camera. In an interview with a photography magazine, Tenneson advised artists: "I very strongly believe that if you go back to your roots, if you mine that inner territory, you can bring out something that is indelibly you and authentic - like your thumbprint. It's going to have your style because there is no one like you." As a child, her parents worked on the grounds of a convent, which is where she grew up with her two sisters. She and her sister "were enlisted to be in holiday pageants and processions. It was a mysterious environment - something out of Fellini - filled with symbolism, ritual, beauty, and also a disturbing kind of surreal imagery." Tenneson moved from Manhattan to Rockport, Maine in 2004.Her work has been displayed in more than 100 exhibitions around the world. Tenneson has had cover images on several magazines including Time, Life, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, Premiere, Esquire and The New York Times Magazine.

Inspired by this experience, he turned his attention to the modeling and analysis of complex networked systems. His latest research addresses applications of network science in the analysis of data from socio-technical systems, but also from biology and sociology. In a theoretical line of research he further studies new methods in the analysis of time-stamped network data. At ETH Zürich he developed a course on network science which bridges the curricula of engineering and natural sciences. He previously held a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes and was awarded a Junior-Fellowship from the Gesellschaft für Informatik in 2014.

BrotherBook - 2017
Winner of the 2017 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, David Chariandy's Brother is his intensely beautiful, searingly powerful, and tightly constructed second novel, exploring questions of masculinity, family, race, and identity as they are played out in a Scarborough housing complex during the sweltering heat and simmering violence of the summer of 1991.
With shimmering prose and mesmerizing precision, David Chariandy takes us inside the lives of Michael and Francis. They are the sons of Trinidadian immigrants, their father has disappeared and their mother works double, sometimes triple shifts so her boys might fulfill the elusive promise of their adopted home.
Coming of age in The Park, a cluster of town houses and leaning concrete towers in the disparaged outskirts of a sprawling city, Michael and Francis battle against the careless prejudices and low expectations that confront them as young men of black and brown ancestry--teachers stream them into general classes; shopkeepers see them only as thieves; and strangers quicken their pace when the brothers are behind them. Always Michael and Francis escape into the cool air of the Rouge Valley, a scar of green wilderness that cuts through their neighbourhood, where they are free to imagine better lives for themselves.
Propelled by the pulsing beats and styles of hip hop, Francis, the older of the two brothers, dreams of a future in music. Michael's dreams are of Aisha, the smartest girl in their high school whose own eyes are firmly set on a life elsewhere. But the bright hopes of all three are violently, irrevocably thwarted by a tragic shooting, and the police crackdown and suffocating suspicion that follow.
With devastating emotional force David Chariandy, a unique and exciting voice in Canadian literature, crafts a heartbreaking and timely story about the profound love that exists between brothers and the senseless loss of lives cut short with the shot of a gun.

Clearly should have been shortlisted for the Giller. This portrayal of
brotherly love, and of the despair and hopelessness of marginalized communities is fashioned with honesty and delicacy. This author holds great promise!
This is quite a perfect book about "complicated grief", systemic racism and brotherly love.
powerful, emotionally charged and beautifully written. Although I'm not from that world I can't help but have tremendous empathy and more understanding of the plight of the at risk youths and their parents struggling to provide a better life for their children but fail nonetheless.
I personally did NOT enjoy this SAD, pessimistic, book; set basically in the poorer parts of the ghettos, which told scenes of many gang fights, racism and much young street violence - not a healthy way to spend ones time and mind in reading about, "Boyz-of-the-hood". Book is basically directed to youth, poverty, and their daunting struggles to survive in life while facing their hardships and many misfortunes. This book did NOT hold my interest long - which I lost towards the latter 1/2 - felt like a chore to finish. Skip it unless u like violence and street gang fights which doesn't go anywhere but towards death n destruction, in the end. Thx
Powerful novella. I too was sucked into the hopelessness of life in a poor neighbourhood. Mother had her religion for support but even her family back in Trinidad believed she was 'lucky' because she had escaped. Mother's overwhelming grief in the loss of one son is beautifully drawn by the surviving son. Is this the "Ford Nation" Toronto is seeking?
In beautiful language the novel explores love and loss, poverty and the immigrant experience. Left just a little dissatisfied at the end.
This short novel is an excellent study of how people grieve. It's about a poor Trinidadian-Canadian family in Scarborough and how their lives intersect with gangs and hip-hop culture and a mother who works and works and then needs to be cared for. It's a great thoughtful story, well-told.
I really enjoyed this novel. I took it out for the Amnesty International Canada bookclub. It is the story of two brothers that takes place in a rough neighbourhood in Toronto. The boys are of Trinidadian descent and live with their single mother, their father having abandoned them many years ago. This novel deals with coming of age issues including sexuality, which are exasperated by the rough neighbourhood that they live in and the boys image as visible minorities. The story is told in both past and present time, and is split into only seven chapters. The plot hits a climax when one of the brothers is killed by the police. The reason I am giving it a four is because the ending was quite abrupt and I feel like it could have been fleshed out a bit.
Story of two brothers being raised by a single mother in Toronto and the constant struggle for the boys to survive the neighbourhood bullies and gangs. I don't know Toronto but the story seems to validate what we see on the news about gangs, shootings, and police interactions with these groups of young people, often with Jamaican backgrounds, and often with horrific outcomes.

SDCC 2016 [Panel Reviews]: The Last Man On Earth / The Exorcist.
THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (Saturday) – Sometimes you go to a panel, not for big plot revelations or to see some revealed guest stars for the next season, but just to laugh and enjoy yourself. The entire cast of FOX's The Last Man on Earth were on hand to answer questions about the new season and just be the funny people that remind you why you're watching the show in the first place. Creator Will Forte (Phil) revealed to the audience that Season 3 kicks off exactly where the last one ended. "We know already who one (hazmat individual) — the guy who played Pat, played by Mark Boone Junior, who's awesome," said Forte. "We all know who the second person is, and I'm very excited about that person. We don't know who the third person is. But it's all gravy after that second person, and I'm excited for you guys to see who it is."
Now to the funny: While talking about the unusal hairstyle that Phil had last season, actress Kristin Schaal was asked if she would do the same thing: "I've had this same hairstyle since I was 18 so I just need someone to shave it off. I would do it right now if someone has a razor." To which Comic-Con never failing as an audience an attendee yells out "I have one!" Schaal looks at the woman with bewilderment and asks "Why do you have that?!"
(Cont.) Asked about how is it to play the ever-lucky Todd (Mel Rodriguez) — who gets to enjoy the love of not one but two women in Melissa (January Jones) and Gale (Mary Steenburgen) — he modestly answers, "I'm just happy to have a job." But when asked who he thinks Todd should end up with, he smartly refused to comment. When asked about the three-way "sex scene" shot with Phil and Mike (Jason Sudekis), Schaal remembers it all too fondly: "I'm saddling Sudeikis, and I'm getting Forte just eyeing it all… I didn't quite get how funny it would be. I was actually bummed we had to move on, because I could've filmed that scene for a week."
During the audience Q&A, one nerd asked why–and how is it decided that–so many people on the show are dropping like flies. Schaal cheekily offered, "Well, it's really who crosses Will…and I've been pushing it today." Cue the audience losing their shit with both Schaal and Forte allowing an uncomfortable pause develop! But leave it to a young kid to come up with the best question (of course): "I was wondering, since it's called The Last Man on Earth, how many more people were going to join?" Forte deadpanned that six people, including Queen Elizabeth, would be added to the show before adding: "My answer to that is.. hey.. you know the movie Rocky, right? Are there other people in that movie besides Rocky?" 4.5/5 Bibles.
THE EXORCIST (Friday) – This is what you get for not wanting a write-up on Kristen Bell. The Exorcist focuses on Father Tomas Ortega (Sense8's Alfonso Herrera), a priest who runs a small parish in Chicago. One of his parishioners, Angela Rance (Geena Davis), tells the good Father of her concern that there are demons in her house. She has two daughters, so it's in all likeliness that one is a recluse and just stays in her room all the time. The other priest introduced is Father Marcus (House of Cards' Ben Daniels), an orphan raised since childhood by the Vatican to wage war against its enemies. More on him to come. Despite hearing a lot of good things about this show on social media, all the Divine One has to say is "meh". Nothing here made me want to run and go cry to my mother. And like most pilots I've watched this past week, the only encouraging thing is the last 10 minutes. If anyone cares, it did leave a clever discovery that left a disturbingly creative direction. 3/5 Satanic Bibles. – Derek Vigeant

This popular series of wrestling simulation games is available to PC users for the second time in franchise history
Windows Vista / Windows 8 / Windows 10 / Windows 7 / Windows 10
2K Games
For over a decade, wrestling games have been lost in that foggy region between being an arcade game and being a simulation game. WWE 2k16 takes a big risk going deeper into simulation mode than ever before, and you have a lot of genius fixes since 2k15. For example, you have more modes than before, which was a common complaint of WWE 2k15. The game just didn't have enough modes to satisfy you. Another big problem was with the reversals. In WWE 2k15, you just had to button mash to fight your way out of a disadvantageous position. 2k16 has largely addressed those issues so that you feel you're actually fighting your way out with a reversal. Now, your decision to save or use a reversal can win or lose a match. It's more strategic than ever before.
More Playable Characters
Any hardcore wrestling fanatic will fall in love with the fact that you have over 125 characters to choose from. You have everyone from Old Colonel Mustafa to the rising Hispanic champion and everything in between. The game features your favorite characters, and you can choose from the 80s and 90s stars, as well as NXT champions. If 125 characters weren't enough, you also get different versions of each wrestler. Stone Cold Steve Austin, for example, a wrestler who once chugged more than 115 beers in Japan, has three different versions:
Online Matches: The Problem
Playing the online matches can be somewhat of a problem because of consistent lag throughout the game. Lag can be a huge disadvantage, and when you're wrestling, you don't want to be losing because of something outside your actual skills. It's a shame WWE 2k16 did not put the problem to rest in the newest game because playing matches with your local buddies can be a lot of fun. It'd be great if you could take that experience online.
The Controls Still Need Work
The developers needed to spend a little more time on the controls of the game because the mechanics are not always the greatest. Sometimes the overall movement and what not can feel kind of clunky, and it needs more work than what the developers put into it. The one advantage of WWE 2k16 is how the load time between the ring entrance and the match takes much less time than what you had in 2k15.
Getting Your Opponent to Waste His Resources
The game has more strategic appeal than in past wrestling titles. You just mashed buttons and tried to pull off specials to beat your rival. WWE 2k16 takes a different approach where you try to restore your own stamina while sapping your opponent's stamina. The weird thing about WWE 2k16 is how you're not only supposed to win, you have to hype up the crowd at the same time. It could be kind of odd having a blowout match where you whooped your opponent, but you scored low on showmanship, so you had a lower score in general. Oddly enough, it happens in WWE 2k16, which is one of the less savory features of the game.
Like the Personality of the Wrestler?
This section of the game can be somewhat hit and miss. You have times where the personality of the wrestler you play is dead on. Other times, you feel like you're playing a generic character because it's so off. Stone Cold Steve Austin is one prime example of a character where they got his personality perfected. You can feel yourself taking the role of Stone Cold Steve Austin. This game is as close to a real performance in a wrestling game as it has ever gotten.
Career Mode: Improvement
With the Career Mode in 2k15, it felt uncomfortable to sit through. You had a somewhat boring, long and drawn out mode, and there weren't enough things to do in it. Much of the problem with Career Mode has been rectified in WWE 2k16. You have many interesting things you can do in Career Mode this time around. For example, you can give interviews and how you respond will have an impact on the rest of your wrestling career. Also, you can choose to ambush your enemies and use dirty moves to get a win. Being the bad guy in Career Mode can be a whole lot more fun than playing the role of the good guy. As you progress through the game, you will unlock the playable versions of different characters, which gives you all the more reason to continue playing through it.
Career Mode has multiple aspects to it. You can also create a diva and an entrance performance for when you visit the stage. Not to mention, you can also play as some of the famous wrestling divas.
Create a Superstar
Along with choosing from 125 characters, you also have customization options in the game. You can create some downright comical characters if you are looking to add a little humor into the game of wrestling. For example, you could choose to customize your wrestler with a rubber ducky floater. You have so many hairstyles, whereas, in 2k15, you had few hairstyles to choose from. You can also choose how you want to morph the body from slim, fat, lean or buff depending on the type of wrestler you want to create. You can also create a diva for the game.
What makes WWE 2k16 even better is how many of the mechanical problems in the past game were ironed out. You have numerous standout reasons to check out a game like this. The game showcases a more iconic story than what you had last year, and you can relive the Stone Cold Steve Austin career from the WCW to the WWE.

HiResEBM is a partnership between EU SMEs and RTD providers with the aim of developing an electron beam melting (EBM) additive manufacturing process to enable the fabrication of high resolution medical implants with optimised porous structures directly from metal powder. Currently the design of some medical implants with porous structures is limited by production technologies not being able to implement complex 3D structures with high enough resolution of the porous structure.
These complex structures are used to improve the initial fixation strength and the long term osteointegration properties of implants which lead to better quality of life for the patients. However, many patients undergo revision surgery within five years of receiving the original implant.

She told in an interview with Interfax journalists, Censor.NET reports.
"Our points of disagreement are well known, but our channels of communication have always remained open. Contacts at all levels are constant on all the files that are priorities for both of us: bringing an end to the devastating war in Syria, the crisis in Libya, the conflict in eastern Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Palestine, the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal, ensuring peace in Afghanistan, the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, and the fight against terrorism, to mention just a few. There is no global power that can solve any of these challenges alone. Without cooperation among us, instability will continue and will spread," Mogherini said.
"The European Union has an extremely clear position when it comes to our relationship and engagement with Russia. A return to better relations is not only possible but desirable, and it is linked to the resolution of the conflict in eastern Ukraine - to the complete implementation of the Minsk agreements. Sanctions are not a policy in themselves, they are linked to the illegal annexation of Crimea and to the conflict in eastern Ukraine. We have repeated time and again that when the Minsk agreements are fully implemented, the related sanctions will be removed," the high representative said.
"Every decision we have taken so far about sanctions was agreed by unanimity. And this unity is reconfirmed regularly, as sanctions are reviewed with decisions on their prolongation usually taken every 6 or 12 months. Having said that, we do not aim to extend sanctions 'endlessly': our aim is to see the conflict in eastern Ukraine solved with the full implementation of the Minsk agreements. As I said, sanctions in themselves are not a policy, but one of the tools the European Union, together with many other partners in the world, is using to achieve the end of the conflict in the east of Ukraine," Mogherini stressed.
In 2014, the European Union, the United States and several other countries imposed sanctions against Russia following its occupation of Crimea and aggression in eastern Ukraine. These restrictive measures were repeatedly extended and expanded. In particular, the talks on visa waiver and a new basic agreement on cooperation were suspended; several Russia's officials were banned to travel to the EU while their assets were attached. Trade, financial, and military restrictions were introduced.

Personal Evangelism Conference Day
On September 10, Rev. Chris Walker, Evangelism Coach, spent the day with us, speaking about how evangelism has become a normal part of his life; he explored ways in which we could make it a normal part of our lives as well. Being at the conference was a great blessing, however, if you were unable to make it, we still want you to make evangelism a part of your everyday life!
We recorded the day and have posted the video of each of the four sessions below. Our hope is that you would watch them, begin to incorporate what Chris speaks about, and pray his evangelistic prayer: Lord, bring me spiritually thirsty people in whom you are already working.
