We continue our journey through the Spiritual Habit of Worship in so many ways...
During the Education Hour:
* The children talked about "where your treasure is, there is your heart also." That by having Jesus and God in our lives, we are richer than having lots of money. They were asked to write down five things that are special possessions to them... and then write "Jesus" on top - as a reminder to keep Jesus first.
* The Confirmands and their parents watched the NOOMA video, "Sunday," with Pastor Penny and discussed that church is more than "going through the motions." It's being open to God's heart and seeking God's heart. Not just sitting in the pew... But really being present to God's prompts in us.
* Wired Word re-visited the story of the United Methodist leaders that were trapped in the earthquake rubble in Haiti. Even in the midst of injuries, fear, and darkness... they kept worshipping God. They sang, they prayed, they knew God was with them. An inspiring story, especially now that we know that two of them eventually died from their injuries... What great faith in the face of great hardship.
* Bettie continues her "Caring Ministries" class. I haven't gotten to attend yet - if anyone has an update for me, please send it my way! (Or add it in the comments section.)
Worship was alive and active this week! The microphones were acting up, Ginny jumped out of her seat to tell us about her new hearing aids... You just never know what's going to happen in the joy of the moment! Mark did a great job with the children's sermon, reminding us of the promise of God's love (and marriage, and credit card bills, and the post office...). The Bell Choir sounded wonderful! And the Choral Readers did a nice job with the Psalm readings - different voices blending to accentuate the readings in new ways.
Pastor Penny reminded us that worship is something to be done in all times and places - whenever we see God, and say "thank you." Worship is something we make time for, we are intentional about, and we do even when we may not feel like - that's what makes it a discipline... And God is there. Even in those moments.
We also had the distinct pleasure to welcome more new members into our midst! Nancy, Yvonne, and Bob come with new talents, gifts, ideas, and blessings to share - so be sure to welcome them as soon as you can!
We worship together, because we are in this walk of the Christian life together. We gather, praise, pray, sing, hear God's word, respond to God's word, and celebrate this life as one. I hope you'll join us next week!

Like this is any real surprise but Mike Melanson over at ReadWriteWeb brings us the results of a recent survey taken by the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism as part of its yearly Digital Future report (pdf).
The survey asked 2,000 people if they would pay to use Twitter and the results were that… are you ready…. zero percent would be willing to pay.
Jeffrey Cole, director of the Center for the Digital Future, said that the response shows just how difficult it can be to begin charging users for services and goods they already receive for free.
"Twitter has no plans to charge its users, but this result illustrates, beyond any doubt, the
tremendous problem of transforming free users into paying users," said Cole. "Online providers
face major challenges to get customers to pay for services they now receive for free."
Of the survey's 1,981 respondents, 49% had "used free micro-blogs such as Twitter." While 70% said that they found Internet advertising annoying, it was by far the most preferable outcome (outside of completely free, ad-free content), with 55% of respondents saying they "would rather see Web advertising than pay for content."
Like I said, color me surprised.

December 27
Little Brazil w/ Sons Of..., The Brigadiers, & John Klemmensen and the Party
The Waiting Room Lounge, 6212 Maple St.
9 p.m., $7, onepercentproductions.com
Little Brazil return to the stage with a new line-up and a new batch of songs. The band has slowed down since the release of their excellent third album, 2009's Son. Singer Landon Hedges spent a chunk of 2012 with Desaparecidos, the indie-punk project fronted by Conor Oberst. Little Brazil is a far cry from the squealing, shouting political vehemence of Desa, instead writing heady, melodious guitar pop. It's touched by early Weezer and other punk-pop indie acts, but Little Brazil has always had a strong identity, highlighted by the big guitar sound shared by Hedges and guitarist Greg Edds. If 2013 brings about a new Little Brazil album, it'll be a good year indeed.

Nigerians set to find out how to get to Sesame Square
Starring a yam monster, an HIV-positive puppet and talking drums, the Nigerian version of the famous US TV show Sesame Street is all set to hit TV screens this weekend.
There are no New York-style streets with tall blocks of flats punctuated with fire hydrants, but smaller houses with gardens surrounding a huge mango tree, lined with straw baskets.
This is Sesame Square, featuring Kami - a furry, golden, female muppet, and the energetic Zobi, a blue, male muppet, who drives a stationary yellow taxi.
The likeable Kami is five years old, and HIV-positive, in a role that is expected to help eliminate the stigma associated with the Aids virus.
Yemisi Ilo, the executive producer of the series, notes that having a character like Kami will "help educate children in a fun and lighthearted way".
"Our reality here in Nigeria is that there are hundreds of thousands of Aids orphans," she adds. "We want all children, including those with HIV, to be able to relate with the characters."
"It is by no means heavy… Kami doesn't come out saying she is HIV-positive. It's just who she is."
Nigerian accents
As well as teaching children to spell and count in a fun way, the fluffy Zobi also helps educates them about malaria prevention, in a country where more than 300,000 people die every year from the disease.
"Me eat yam!"
Not only does Zobi have a huge role to play as the co-lead muppet, he is also the "Yam Monster" - Nigeria's answer to the cookie monster in the original programme.
Zobi has a huge appetite, which he tries to satisfy with the starchy tuberous root vegetable which is the staple food of many Nigerians.
Music will typically play a key role, and many local guest artists will be featured.
With scenes shot around the country, the programme will help educate Nigerian children about some of the languages, dress and traditions around the country.
The producers say they will ensure that they take great care to represent all of Nigeria's many ethnic groups and promote national unity.
This will be especially important in a country where outbreaks of violence between rival communities has claimed hundreds of lives this year alone.
The show will be aired in English, and some distinctive characters and segments from the original Sesame Street, such as Ernie and Bert, Elmo, Big Bird, and Grover, will be featured speaking with Nigerian accents.
Oral culture
Sesame Square will debut on the national network, Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), reaching across the country, although not all of Nigeria's 150 million inhabitants have television sets - and many of those in the large audience who own TVs might not have the electricity to make them work.
Ahead of its launch, the programme has attracted a great deal of attention, and not just from children.
"I want my kids to watch this kind of programme, because I also watched Sesame Street when I was young and even now I'm curious to see what this new one is like," says Segun Abimbola, a banker.
Sesame Square, funded by the US government's development agency USAids, is one of more than 20 international adaptations of the original, and the third version in Africa, after Alim Simsim in Egypt, and South Africa's Takalani Sesame (where Kami was first introduced).
The US-based Sesame Street is one of the most widely viewed children's programmes on television. Having been on air for more than 40 years, it is also one of the longest running.
The series has been an educational tool worldwide, focusing on various issues affecting children.
Sesame Workshop, the organisation behind Sesame Street, collaborated with educational consultants and organisations, including USAid, and the Nigerian Ministry of Education, to come up with a curriculum for this project.
The famous Can You Tell Me How to Get to Sesame Street theme song has given way to a similarly catchy Welcome to Sesame Square, enhanced with the beat of local talking drums.
The name Sesame Square was coined to reflect the Nigerian setting, and "it has a nice ring to it", says Ms Ilo.
She says it is based on the traditional Nigerian village, where a landmark, often a huge tree, serves as the centre for meetings.
It is where people gather to debate or tell stories - reflecting the strength of the oral tradition in these cultures.
An oral tradition which Zobi and Kami are about to enhance.

EBITDA stands for Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization. It's another way to measure your business's income, along with net income and operating income, as well as cash flow and revenue. There are two different EBITDA formulas, but the result is the same with either calculation.
The world of small business accounting is filled with acronyms: FICO score. DSCR. LTV ratio. EBITDA formula. We're here to talk about that last one.
When you're applying for a business loan, you'll probably run across the words "EBITDA coverage ratio" more than once. This ratio is a key indicator of the financial health of your business, and having a low one strongly correlates with default.
But what exactly is an EBITDA coverage ratio, and how can you calculate your own?
EBITDA stands for Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization. It's another way to measure your business's income, along with net income and operating income, as well as cash flow and revenue. Differentiating between these can be tricky, so let's start off with some definitions. (By the way, you can find all of these on your income statement.)
Earnings: You've probably got this one. It refers to the amount of profit you make in a specific period of time—usually a quarter or a full year. "Profit" and "income" also usually mean the same thing.
Interest: This is any interest payment you make on existing loans or lines of credit. In some cases, you might receive interest payments from investments, so "interest" could refer to the net figure: interest income – interest expense.
Tax: What you're required to pay in income taxes.
Depreciation: Depreciation is relevant for "tangible assets," which have a physical form—like your office building or any equipment you use. Over time, any tangible assets will depreciate in quality, meaning that they lose value. (A car that's 10 years old is usually worth less than a car that's only two years old, for example.) Depreciation takes into account the diminishing value of your tangible assets, so every accounting year a little bit of the cost of that car would be added into your accounting statements.
Amortization: Amortization, on the other hand, is for "intangible assets" like patents or copyrights. Aside from that, it's pretty much the same as depreciation: a little bit of the cost of the asset will be added to your accounting statements for as long as that asset continues to be useable.
Putting all of these together, EBITDA is a way to measure your earnings without taking the costs of interest, tax, depreciation, or amortization into account.
You also might hear of the acronym EBIT, or Earnings Before Interest and Tax. You probably guessed correctly that this figure ignores interest and tax, but does include depreciation and amortization.
Revenue refers to all of the money your company pulls in through sales. It's also known as gross income. It'll be at the top of your income statement and all the other figures will be calculated from your revenue.
Operating income is the same as EBIT. It factors in costs like the cost of goods sold (COGS), rent, utilities, and depreciation, subtracting these costs from your revenue.
Net income will be at the bottom of your income statement. In addition to all the above costs, it factors in interest, tax, and payments on one-time events (like lawsuits).
Your cash flow is an analysis of the amount of money that's coming into your business versus the amount of money going out. It might sound like this is the same as profitability, but it's actually not: because of timing problems with sales and accounts receivable, you can be profitable without being cash flow positive. (And likewise, you can be cash flow positive without showing a profit on your tax returns—if you're trying to save on business taxes.)
If you want to know how to calculate EBITDA, start by calculating EBIT. You can use one of two EBITDA formulas:
Once you have your EBIT, add back in depreciation and amortization:
Net income + interest + taxes + depreciation + amortization
Revenue – operating expenses + depreciation + amortization
Basically, the EBITDA formula allows you to measure your business's profit while taking some things into account (like revenue and operating expenses) and not other things (tax, interest, depreciation, and amortization). It will give lenders a slightly different picture of your business's finances than your operating income, your net income, or your cash flow.
Now that you're an expert, let's talk about the coverage ratio.
The coverage ratio compares your EBITDA to your company's liabilities—your debt and your lease payments. The goal is to see whether or not you're likely to afford to make your payments, given your profitability.
If the ratio is 1, then you'll be able to pay off your debts, but just barely. The average is a ratio of around 2, according to Accounting Explained, but higher is better: a higher ratio means that you have more money and less debt.
The formula for your EBITDA coverage ratio is:
(EBITDA + Lease payments) / (Interest payments + Principal repayments + lease payments)
So let's take an example, because all of this jargon can get a little confusing.
Let's pretend that you run a small homemade pie shop called Slices of Heaven. You're looking over your financial statements for the year—and you have your income statement and your balance sheet in front of you, thanks to your stellar accountant.
How can you use the EBITDA formula?
Here's what you've got so far:
Net income: $100,000
Interest expense: $10,000
Tax: $25,000
Operating profit: $65,000
Depreciation: $10,000
Amortization: $5,000
Lease payments: $50,000
Principal repayment: $30,000
First off, your EBIT is the same as your operating profit, but you can also calculate it by subtracting interest and tax from net income:
$100,000 / ($10,000 + $25,000) = $65,000
To get EBITDA, you need to add back in depreciation and amortization:
$65,000 + $10,000 + $5,000 = $80,000
Finally, for the EBITDA coverage ratio, remember that
Plugging the numbers in, that becomes:
($80,000 + $50,000) / ($10,000 + $30,000 + $50,000) = $130,000 / $90,000 = 1.44
With an EBITDA coverage ratio of 1.44, you'll be able to pay off your debts, but you don't have too significant of a cushion to fall back on.
If your net income were $150,000 instead of $100,000 (let's keep the taxes the same just for the sake of simplicity, even though in real life they would then be higher), your EBITDA coverage ratio would be much better:
EBITDA coverage ratio = ($130,000 + $50,000) / ($10,000 + $30,000 + $50,000) = $180,000 / $90,000 = 2
Now that you've gone through the trouble of understanding EBITDA and calculating your own EBITDA coverage ratio, you're probably wondering…
Why did I just do that?
Just like with the FCCR, the EBITDA coverage ratio is a figure that lenders, especially banks, might look at when evaluating whether or not your business is a safe bet.
Having an equation that works for all companies lets lenders compare your business to others in the industry. It also gives them the chance to see how your business has done over time: if your EBITDA coverage ratio is a little low, but it was even lower last year, that's a good sign, because it means that you're managing to pay off your debt effectively.
Meanwhile, if it's decreasing year-to-year, your EBITDA coverage ratio will suggest that you're not handling your debt well and the lender might hesitate before offering you a loan.
If you're keeping your business records and financial statements up to date, you can use the EBITDA formula to calculate your EBITDA coverage ratio on your own. Being aware of this metric will help you better understand what kinds of debt you can handle—and whether or not you'll be successful in taking on more.

text: Hi, just a few days ago I made my first set of desserts. I've never really done anything other than dinner meals or small snacks so it was something new. I posted a video to Youtube showing my steps to making my three desserts which were a Peanut Butter Chocolate Mix, a Banana Pudding and a Chocolate Mousse. The video is pretty long since it is three recipies in one but I would like to get some feedback on how well I did with the ingredients. Maybe I missed something or didn't add enough of one thing. I've also uploaded a Corn Dog and Chicken Stew recipie as well. All feedback would be greatly appreciated so I can continue to deliver the best recipies for an internet audience. Also, my videos will seem a bit silly because I'm trying to entertain the viewer while teaching them something new.

Here's an idea for the Zoo and the golf course (and the Stadium, later). First we find good zoos for all the animals, maybe see if San Diego would take them, though they might have to be Californicated with better social skills, how to share, express their inner feelings, honestly enjoy tofu, then we level the area and build really nice public housing. The golf course would be a park for the public housing residents and everyone else. We keep the green space.
It's just common sense. The housing would be close to everything, hospitals, downtown, the interstate, schools. Just look at what the city did with that old drug-infested slum off 12th St., Highland Courts. How many people does the golf course serve, anyway? And for what reason? Television and sponsors like Nike have sold golf to the world as legitimate exercise. In my world in order to be allowed to play golf a person would have to shoot close to par seven times out of ten rounds played. If not, you would be denied admittance. Gradually there would be no need for golf courses. With public housing close by, the city could build a good-sized playground and a day-care center so moms could work. Hire people to make sure the whole area is secure. Here's a campaign slogan for some lucky candidate: No to the Zoo and the Golf Course Too! A sure vote-getter.
Finally, the city stealthily takes over War Memorial Stadium, first the land around it and since there would be no room to park, no one would come anymore. We demolish the Stadium to make room for a laundry, a food co-op, a teaching restaurant-kitchen and a school to teach kids a marketable trade — heating and air-conditioning, automobile repair, roofing, plumbing, carpentry. This will work. This is America, by god. The people rule.

I thought The Observer column May 27, was disappointing when discussing the requirement for a voter to provide ID. The author's discussion leads the reader to think those working in the election don't have appropriate procedures — they do.
It would have been appropriate, at the end of the discussion, for the author to conclude the requirement to produce ID is the "right thing" to do but not necessarily a prerequisite to vote except: when the poll book indicates the voter "Must show ID." Even then, if no ID is presented, it's possible for the individual to vote, except it's called a provisional ballot that must be authenticated by the election commission before it's counted. If the author of the column had called the Pulaski County Election Commission, I'm sure they would have provided the correct information.

Dreams of war
I had a dream the other night. I was taking one of those tours of famous World War II battlefields. My tour ended on the island of Okinawa. It was then I began a search for my tree. It was a very important tree, as it probably saved my life. June 16, 1945, the war had not yet ended. I was standing beside my company commander when he was shot by a Japanese machine gunner. We scrambled for cover behind the nearest tree which was no more than two feet in diameter. The sniper just kept on firing, tearing all the bark off our tree.
The next day I would have gone looking for the tree that had saved my life, as I was sure it would be filled with bullets, but then it was my turn to be wounded and I was soon evacuated from the island. In my dream my tree had disappeared. There was no tree, no battlefield, just freeways and high-rise buildings. Someone had stolen my war! That moment may have just been a grain of sand in WW II, but to me it was a monstrous sand dune.
Who are these people that sneak in after the battle, plant the grass, give the place a name and place all those white crosses, with no mention that the real terror of war lay six feet below each cross? Just the sight of that cemetery is supposed to give us pause and keep us from ever going to war again. It doesn't work.
I continued to dream. Could we avert wars if we left the D-Day landings at Normandy intact? Not to change one thing. Leave the sand blood-stained; leave all the thousands of bodies where they had fallen; let everyone see the bodies rolling in and out with the tide, in blood red water; all the detritus of war banked up; pile upon pile of destroyed boats, tanks, trucks..... A nation's lost treasure on display. When the sightseers come to stroll the beach and ask the guide what that strange piece of meat is that's lying in the sand, he tells them, "it looks like the larynx that's been torn out of a throat."
We must leave Hiroshima just as it was on Aug. 6, 1945, when one bomb left the ground littered with thousands of charred bodies.
My dream has become a nightmare and I am jarred awake, joining all the people who have never known war. The world's blackboard has magically been erased, only to await a new entry.

This is a great game that can go with the many of the fishing stories in the Bible. I used it for the story about Jesus appearing to Peter and the disciples after his resurrection, while they were fishing.
How to play the Fishing Game...
In this game, kids stand inside a boat and use a fishing line with a rock tied to the end and try to land on the fishes. If the rock lands on a fish, it goes in the boat. If the rock lands on a piece of seaweed then they must throw a fish back.
Variation: On each fish write one word of the Memory Verse. Children must catch the fish in order of the words of the verse.
- construction paper cut out in fish & seaweed shapes
- string
- small pebble or rock
- cardboard box boat

If I have learned one thing from having a weekly vegetable box delivered to my door it is this – beets are always in season. Well they are on Vancouver Island anyway. From June, straight through to October, they haven't missed a beet, and I have heard down the grapevine that the winter edition is set to include even more of this tasty vegetable. I have only just begun the experience the versatility of beets, from Beet Apple and Kale Salad with Walnuts and Dill to Beet and Goat Cheese Salad with Green Beans and even Gluten Free Beet Chocolate Muffins with Chickpea Flour. And now another beet inspired dish to add to the repertoire – a super Simple Beet Dip with Balsamic Vinegar and Cream Cheese.
"Beets are very high in a phytonutrient called betalain. Betalains function both as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory molecules. Rhubarb, chard, amaranth, prickly pear cactus, and Nopal cactus are examples of foods that contain betalains."
Steaming vegetables is the best way to retain maximum nutrients, but boiling beets could also work. In this recipe I used a spreadable cream cheese; you could use the brick variety but be prepared to add a liquid (such as olive oil) to the dip if it is too thick. Although beets are always in season, lemon is not. An alternative would be some apple cider vinegar which would pair nicely with the balsamic vinegar. This dip is great on crackers, wraps and even on roasted veggies.

text: "For the past few weeks, I have been focusing on "lament" as part of my observance of lent. It was a decision with a long build up - "lament" kept coming up in my life for the past few years through things I was learning in seminary, people I heard speak, and other random moments in my life. Laments in the Bible are protests, doubt, despair, and anger. Often they summon God to action, demand a response to the evil being faced. I started this journey of "journaling lament" thinking I would be lamenting the magnitude of sorrows and pains in the world that others face. Goodness knows the world has enough of them I thought I would spend these weeks lamenting lack of clean water, lack of education, the violence that faces women, children, and men on a daily basis. I thought I would delve into understanding corrupt prison systems and the way entire ethnic groups are oppressed because of their DNA. And I did that for a short time, but slowly, somewhat seamlessly, the laments became about me. About the fears and traumas rooted in my heart that impact the way I interact with the world."

unknown vintage faux fur coat from Italy, Diesel dress, cashmere cardigan,
Stefanel tights, Bruno Magli boots,
We took a little day trip to visit Bergamo city for the first time this past weekend. Even though it's just over an hour away from Milan, we had never visited this darling Medieval hilltop city. It really is a charming place and, just like all Italian towns and cities, has a very specific identity and feeling. The old part of the city is only accessible by funicular and/or bus so it's a notably peaceful walking-town once you're there.

When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.

After over a year and a half, our sort-of-a-music-video is finally complete! Ink & Water was made with no CG, just water, ink, and some creative lighting. Shot by Boa Simon on 35mm and on the RED, the project was edited by Nate Orloff to music by Brian Andrews, who wrote the score after being inspired by the footage we'd shot.
Turn up that bass and enjoy!

The Challenge of the Political Earworm
The Trump administration has surprised everyone with its ability to undermine its own message. This is exemplified no better than the birth of the phrase that may prove to be the political earworm of Trumps' tenure in the White House.
In spite of an abundance of clear photographic evidence, and on his first day in the press briefing room, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer decided to question statements about the inauguration crowd size from the podium.
President Trump's Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway went on to appear on NBC's 'Meet the Press' the next day. Challenged on the White House's willingness to spread untruths, Conway's rebuttal was that Spicer was in fact just "offering alternative facts".
#SpicerFacts was born. Most political memes stay within 'the bubble', but the Spicer jokes and memes made it into the mainstream consciousness, not only in the US but around the world.
Talk shows led the way, but even the world of professional sports got in on the act. A sign of real cut-through. That weekend saw the NHL's Dallas Stars mocking the Trump administration on their Jumbotron mid-game, claiming that the paid attendance was "1.5 million." Steve Kerr, the coach of California basketball team Golden State Warriors joked about alternative facts when being interviewed. The Warriors' media game notes went even further with an entire "alternative facts," feature. Even amongst typically Republican crowds, the #AlternativeFacts line was greeted with laughter.
Stars Jumbotron with a topical joke. pic.twitter.com/9vsmTG1Agj
— Kate Morrison (@unlikelyfanatic) January 22, 2017
It looks like the phrase may be setting the early tone for the new administration which instructed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to remove the climate change page from its website and imposed a ban on staff publishing social media posts, press releases or blog posts and from publicising publicly-funded research.
While this has since been reversed, it is reported that any studies or data must undergo a review by political appointees before they can be released to the public. Scientists across the US are greatly concerned by Trump's apparent disregard of scientific fact, with marches planned and unofficial social media accounts being set up to get round gagging orders.
But the resistance to facts is not just restricted to the field of science. POTUS 45 has also announced the launch of an investigation into the 3-5 million instances of voting fraud that cost him the popular vote suggests this White House might just be warming up.
Trump's election campaign succeeded in many parts due to the simplicity and cut-through of his 'Make America Great Again' (#MAGA) message but it'll be hard for him to shake off the perception that his administration is living in an #AlternativeFacts universe.
Sean Spicer and the rest of the Trump team have an uphill task to regain their credibility. You only get one chance to make a first impression.

The lady behind the glyph
Kate Ampersand (K&) is a one-woman illustration and design studio, focused on infusing a little whimsy and class to any project I collaborate on. My primary mediums for paper goods include one handy-dandy sharpie, and watercolor. I also work within illustrator at times to bring my work to life for businesses looking to brand and market themselves. I have been known to hand letter whenever possible, and hand embroider. Take a look at my work to see how these mediums and skills come together and breathe life into past projects.
Downtown Lancaster is where I call home for myself and Murphy, the resident feline assistant. When we aren't people watching and chastising the squirrels, you can find us snuggled up drawing patterns, doodles, and watching reruns of the latest Netflix addiction. I live for capturing everyday moments in color palettes, collecting local honey from my travels, and the sound of a brass band.
My number one goal for the K& venture is to partner with passionate people, doing big things, and making heads turn. I love collaborating with aspiring business owners, mothers surprising their daughters with magical gifts, and best friends reminding each other of the love and support across state borders. K& is a brand that captures essence and emotion in a visual way; let's work together to create yours.
All products and services are created with love from Lancaster PA, and I partner with other companies in the tri-state area that help out with the printing and production of the work.

A mask that definately works!
Contact me at: +65 8448 9435
This is the mask,
Use TRICE a week, each time 30mins each time.
Rinse off with cold water after use.
After 1 use, u can feel the smoothness of ur face. I can grantee that.
I'm selling for $18ONLY. Yes, only $18 for 3 times use.
Where else can u find such cheap and good mask?
Its selling very fast, friends who bought it once are now constantly buying. It helps reduces redness, prevents pimples/acne & smoothing the face just in 1 use!
I believe some girls dont like to put on make up because after removing them, some would have red small dots or worst grow pimples in a few days time. This mask eliminates that.
Feedback from caroline: 'I didn't dare to put make up, unless special occasions. After i used your mask, i put on make up everyday when i go to go school. I have more confidence in myself. I believed girls grow some pimples before their period comes. But now, i used for 3weeks and when my period comes, i only grow 2pimples. But, the next day it was gone!'
Thank you caroline for ur feedback .
Seriously, i see all my friends in my school who bought from me are like putting make up everyday and taking alot pictures of themselves. I see that they now have more confidence in themselves and are happier knowing redness and pimples have reduced.

Some mates of mine have formed a theme band called "Barbariön" (they wanted "Barbarian", but apparently there is already some Scandinavan metal band by that name..). They play barbarian-themed metals songs and each band member has his own persona. They have put a LOT of time and effort into their costumes and stage props as well as their music, and seeing them play is a truly entertaining experience. They asked me to do an illustration for the cover of their new EP, "AAAAARRRGGGHHHH" (I'm not sure if I spelt that correctly...), so here is Frank in all his glory.

I finally found the answer to the most asked question, "What do you give someone who already has everything?" See, Mother's day is coming up in a couple of weeks, and as always, I'm never sure on what present to give to my Mom. She's not into cosmetics (shocker), she's picky with clothes and even pickier with bags, she doesn't care much for flowers, cakes or chocolates. So what's my answer to the question? Why, STICKYGRAM, of course!
Stickygram turns your Instagram photos into magnets. I find this really perfect for my Mom who LOVES magnets - every time we travel, she just have to buy a magnet to stick to our fridge's door. Frankly, I find the clashing colors to be a little tacky haha so when I saw a blog post raving about Stickygram, I just have to order a few sheets to replace the magnets we currently have!
I found the Stickygrams to be of high quality - matte finish, clear prints and crisp colors. Each sheets includes 9 photos (1 photo = 2" x 2"), and 1 magnetic sheet cost $14.99. A bit expensive but you can find coupons online for discounts (see below for code)! I bought mine when they were having a buy 2 get 1 free promo.
They offer free delivery worldwide, and promises to deliver it to you in 12 days. That's when I encountered a bit of a problem, though. I first ordered last February but didn't received anything during the allotted delivery time, so I emailed them at email@example.com, and promptly got an answer. The resend it to me, but after a whole month, I still didn't have my sheets. Finally, they sent it via courier (DHL), and after 3 days, I finally had them. Props for their customer service. I was really impressed!

Great photo! I love looking at the old photos and I love Fallon's history. I have a FB for Fallon, Nevada maybe we could post some of them?
Terrific photo Delia! Several members of my family in collateral lines migrated 'out west' in the early part of the 1900s so I always enjoy looking at photos from this area and time period. How are the wedding plans coming??

Insert Nonsnarky Title About Perfume Here
But given that Roger chose to include Perfume, which I had to physically restrain myself from walking out on last fall, I'm pretty much stymied. Typically as film editor of the online weekly Flavorpill, I only list movies that I recommend in some way. So suffice it to say I am ill-equipped to discuss this 2.5-hour epic about an 18th-century perfumer who moonlights as a serial killer of really, really fragrant women.
Before I slide deeper into snark, herein lie two positive comments about this film:
1. It completely commits to its oddball premise — in particular during a wildly extended shot of myriad naked bodies writhing in scent-driven ecstasy — no matter how unlikely it was. A movie about perfume? Even Kubrick declared it uncinematic.
Yes, moving on.
2. I admire Alan Rickman, who portrays a victim's powerful father.
And thus concludes my book report-like "review" (playing second fiddle only to my now-legendary third grade essay What I Did My Summer Vacation).
Afterward Alan Rickman, festival director Nate Kohn and Movie City News' Dave Poland bemoaned how most critics' failure to recognize the film's complicated brilliance derailed its box-office success. I kept conspicuously silent as did, I noticed, other critics in attendance.

At the critics panel I told the audience how Ebert always tells my students that the role of the film critic is to write about films they love and hate in a way that doesn't alienate the reader. It's great advice ... something YOU adhere to naturally. I'm your biggest fan. :-)

No Fear
Do not fear too much, my friends,
the huffing and puffing of vanity's wind
that would billow the sails of your vessel.
In place of the ancient Scull of Golgatha,
I have affixed a Crossed Trizub,
bound by knots more than four,
that cannot be undone except by acts
of courage, valor, cherity and mirth.
No untruth can long stand in its presence,
and it will serve as an eye and ear
that I may sense an echo of your voyage
and imprisonment ...
aye, though I walk the vales and pinnacles
of unpassable deceptions,
I will be with you --
and the reach of my staff
is greater than might be imagined.

Russia's gas export monopoly Gazprom
Investors say the lack of a stable fiscal framework and market pricing for gas means that most investment ideas in the sector are uneconomic. The seven-month-old government of President Umaru Yar'Adua has begun a root-and-branch reform of the energy sector. It wants to use its gas reserves to drive industrial development in the impoverished country where most people live without electricity most of the time. The gas official said a new fiscal regime had been sent to the presidency and would be announced within a few weeks. New laws enshrining the regime could take several months to approve.
UK-based companies BG Group
The government hopes to see an explosion in domestic demand for gas for use in power generation, petrochemicals and fertilizer. But the price now paid by the state power monopoly for gas makes investment in stand-alone gas projects uneconomic. The official said the new pricing policy will mean gas producers subsidising domestic supplies for about two or three years before prices reach export parity, which he estimated at $3.50-$4.00 per thousand cubic feet. Nigeria's state power monopoly now pays just 14 cents per thousand cubic feet. Gazprom has faced growing questions about the sustainability of gas supply from central Asia and has begun to extend its search for new reserves outside the region. In 2006, it acquired four offshore exploration licenses in Libya and last month it acquired another three.

In other news:
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said in a statement that Russia expects the operations to be permanently closed and "any other actions would be provocative and build up bilateral tensions." The order against the British Council comes amid high tensions stemming from the 2006 poisoning of former KGB officer and Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko in London. Russia has refused Britain's request to extradite the man it considers the main suspect; this summer, Britain expelled four Russian diplomats to protest Moscow's stand, and Russia in turn kicked out four British diplomats.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said last month that the British Council closure order was taken as a "countermeasure" to the diplomat expulsion. Kamynin appeared to suggest Russia could also order the council's main office in Moscow to close. "The activity of the British Council in Moscow and Russian regions has no legal foundation," he said. "We have not raised the question of the British Council's office in Moscow thus far, and this is an act of goodwill." The British Council is technically a non-governmental organization, but it acts as the cultural department of the British Embassy. Russia contends it acts as a for-profit organization.
Kathryn Board, head of the British Council's overseas network, said the organization complies with Russian law, a 1994 Britain-Russia agreement and the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. "If there is a law we don't comply with, the Russian government has yet to point it out," she said by telephone from London. British Council officials have been in contact with the Russian government, seeking an agreement that would allow the offices to open without incident, Board said. "We still have a week or so to go and we very much hope this will be seen through to a proper conclusion," she said. Russia is also angry at Britain for its refusal to extradite tycoon Boris Berezovsky and Chechen separatist envoy Akhmed Zakayev.

Playing with Leather
Since it was just for fun project I allowed myself to play with contrast to stitching on my cover machine. Not the most inspired work but I think I like the pockets look. The front knees was suppose to look a bit like quilted. It starts above the knee but it probably goes to much down. AT least my son had fun at some point trying to count the stitching and lines on his pants. It was fun to see him making up this game for himself.

TORONTO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. activist investor Jonathan Litt on Monday called for Canada's Hudson's Bay Co (HBC.TO) to consider going private and to monetize its vast real estate holdings, sending shares in the owner of Saks Fifth Avenue up 15 percent.
The company, also known as HBC, said it would review the letter from Litt, whose activist real estate hedge fund Land & Buildings Investment Management disclosed it had bought 4.3 percent of Hudson's Bay.
HBC stock had lost about a third of its value this year amid declining sales at its retail stores, which include Saks, Lord & Taylor and the 347-year-old Hudson's Bay brand.
The company this month said it would cut 2,000 jobs as part of a restructuring of its retail business.
The stock fell to a record low on Friday, partly due to investor frustration that the company has yet to announce plans to monetize its more than $10 billion in real estate assets. They include its Saks on Fifth Avenue in New York City, which is valued at $3.7 billion.
Shares peaked just shy of C$30 two years ago but investors have since complained the value of its real estate holdings are not reflected in the price of its stock, which has a market capitalization of C$1.6 billion ($1.21 billion).
Litt called on the board to focus on that issue, saying he estimates the real estate holdings are worth C$35 per share, nearly four times HBC's closing price on Friday.
"The path to maximizing the value of Hudson's Bay lies in its real estate, not its retail brands," said Litt, a former Citigroup real estate analyst. "If there is a smarter and better use of any or all of the locations, stores should be closed and redeveloped and put towards their optimal use."
In addition to its North American operations, HBC owns European department store Galeria Kaufhof. It also holds majority stakes in joint ventures worth over C$8.1 billion ($6.1 billion) for its property holdings in North America and Europe.
HBC shares closed up C$1.34 at C$10.22 in Toronto after reaching a high of C$10.45.
Litt is known as an aggressive activist investor who pressures his targets through public letters, often pushing companies to sell themselves if they are unable to institute the changes he suggests.
In the last year, Litt has pushed for the sale of Brookdale Senior Living Inc (BKD.N), Forest City Realty Trust Inc (FCEa.N) and FelCor Lodging Trust Inc FCH.N. [nL1N1JA0ZZ]
Litt took on Taubman Centers Inc (TCO.N) this spring and waged an unsuccessful proxy fight to replace two directors on the board, including CEO Bobby Taubman.
In 2015, Land and Buildings launched a proxy fight against Macerich Co that resulted in the mall owner adding two directors and making corporate-governance changes.
Joshua Varghese, a portfolio manager with CI Investments, one of HBC's biggest shareholders, said he would like the company to close some stores, stop opening new ones and focus on finding ways to get the value of its real estate holdings reflected in the stock price.
CI Investments is the company's sixth-largest shareholder with a 4.1 percent stake, according to Thomson Reuters data.
"I hope it will force the management team to address these issues in more detail with its shareholders," Varghese said.
Founded in 1670, HBC began as a fur trader and once owned more than 40 percent of what is now Canada and much of what became North Dakota and Minnesota.
U.S. real estate developer Richard Baker bought the firm in 2008 and took it public in 2012, retaining its name and Toronto headquarters.
Barry Schwartz, portfolio manager at Baskin Financial Services, said the company should gradually pull the plug on its struggling stores and sell the real estate.
"Their retail is finished," said Schwartz, whose firm does not hold any HBC stock.

Some New Nurses Have Trouble Finding Jobs
Sponsored links
From VOA Learning English, this is the Economics Report. About one-third of new nursing graduates in the United States are having trouble finding work.
Alexandra Bauernschub is finishing a master's degree program at the University of Maryland. She has done well in the program, earning the highest grade point average possible. But she is worried because she has not received job offers. Yet there is hope for nurses who complete studies at four-year schools or graduate level programs. They have an easier time finding a job in health care than nurses graduating from a two-year degree program.
Experts say there are fewer job openings because nurses in their 50s and 60s are delaying retirement. These workers are hoping to rebuild the savings they lost a few years ago during the financial crisis. Jane Kirschling is head of the University of Maryland's nursing school. She says weak economic conditions have created tensions in the job market. The number of students entering nursing school has risen sharply in recent years. At the same time, the United States is preparing for the retirement of millions of "baby-boomers." That is the name given to Americans born between the end of World War Two and the early 1960s.
Hundreds of thousands of nurses are expected to retire just as people their age need more medical care. Health care laws are changing in the United States. Health experts say they expect demand for nurses to care for the sick and aged to grow. They say many older nurses will retire if the economy improves. This would create job openings for younger nurses and recent college graduates.

OLPC SF Community Summit
The olpc community is gathering this weekend, Oct 19-21, for the annual summit at San Francisco State University sponsored by olpcsf.org. By proclamation it's OLPC day in San Francisco again! Our Sat & Sun schedule from 10AM-4:30PM looks good. Confirmed attendees include Mary Lou Jepsen, Brian Behlendorf, Daniel Drake, Matt Keller, Richard Smith, C Scott Ananian, Bernie Innocenti, Sameer Verma, about 150 people in all.
Many people that put GNU/Linux laptops (over 2.5 million and counting) in kids hands all over the world are flying here to collaborate and discuss their successes and challenges. Some members like David Farning and I from our Ubuntu Sugar Team will be participating with Fedora Ambassadors, Sugar Labs and others. Stay for the Sugar Camp immediately following the summit at SFSU in the same location next week.
UDS Lightning Talk – Local Schools
Here is the text of my lightning talk.
Good afternoon! My name is Grant Bowman.
First, I want to thank Ubuntu for choosing this UDS location. It's very exciting to have you all here. I'm a local. I would like to plug all the hard working San Francisco Bay Area groups I am privileged to be involved with but I need to highlight just one right now.
I would like to pause for a moment with you to zoom out quite a bit just for a second. Schools around the world are literally the place where the minds of our next generation are shaped. As social networking and new research confirms, the human condition is predicated on what Edward O Wilson calls eusociality or, more simply, "fitting in." My colleagues and I have seen the need to "fit in" manifest itself time and again here in California and through travels to places like August Town, Jamaica and Nairobi, Kenya. Highly social school administrators are not immune. Luckily this eusociality is a double edged sword. It can work in both directions. Let me "take you to school."
Even in these times of financial challenges, school district administrators, principals, teachers, parents and students still clamour to allocate a very significant amount of their overall resources to the purchase of poorly made computing products. This is directly due to public misconceptions. With a foundation of education these misconceptions can be changed.
As far as design & usability, Ubuntu is now leading the state of the art rather than following. We are experiencing a innovative, disruptive computing transition as described by Clayton Christianson in his book The Innovator's Dilemma.
Poorly made computing products guarantee vendors upgrade sales. This contrasts with how we do things. As Eric Raymond describes, we are able to scratch our own itches and share our improvements for mutual benefit. We operate in the open in a bazaar style.
Closed source vendor lock-in creates a cycle of dependency in hearts and minds of all ages just at a time when students are looking to authority figures to show them how best to move forward. *We* know that free and open source specifically and Creative Commons more generally are game changers. Tim O'Reilly calls us alpha geeks. The public is slowly becoming more aware.
The significant resources closed source vendors direct at our common future are shaping the computing platform choices we and our neighbors use both publicly and privately. The longer we wait the worse this problem becomes. As we know, now is always the best time for engaging.
We would like to contribute back our hard won lessons, build our capacity and replicate our best practices in similar environments. In the 1970s Dr. Douglas C Engelbart called this structure a set of improvement communities. His papers are well worth reading to this day.
Partimus means "we share" in Latin. For those that haven't heard yet, we are a locally operating 501(c)(3). We bring repurposed hardware, our favorite GNU/Linux distribution, free and open source applications and free culture content to San Francisco and Oakland schools. We are deeply involved in community building efforts. We need your support to continue to provide and grow our program as we have done for the past eight years. If you are able to help us, please contact me, Elizabeth Krumbach or the email address firstname.lastname@example.com. Lyz and I are happy to speak with you. Lyz also has Ubuntu earrings for sale, a fundraiser we are conducting on our website, partimus.org
Oh, wear sunscreen. Thank you very, very much.
balug.org 12.04 LTS Presentation Tues, April 17th
Tomorrow at 8pm the unstoppable Elizabeth Krumbach and I will be presenting on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin. Please arrive at 6:30pm to eat dinner with us before the presentation. 12.04 is scheduled for release into the wild April 26th joining the existing eight mammal pangolin species in Africa and Asia. We are presenting in San Francisco's Chinatown at the Four Seas Restaurant at the monthly Bay Area Linux User's Group meeting. The balug.org website has more details. The Four Seas is located at 732 Grant Ave @ Clay a few blocks from the Montgomery St BART station. A handout will be provided highlighting changes such as default DNS handling with resolvconf and dnsmasq, RC6, Ubuntu Core and OpenStack.
We are excited to host this meeting just 20 days in advance of UDS just across the bay in Oakland, CA May 7-11.
Kenya Ubuntu Hour
I am working with the Kenyan Team to host an Ubuntu Hour in Nairobi, Kenya this Thursday from 17:00-18:00 EAT at iHub. iHub is an Open Space for hackers, technologists, investors, and tech companies in Nairobi. The iHub's location is on the 4th floor of the Bishop Magua Centre on Ngong Road (directly opposite the Uchumi Hyper). The location is quite inviting, with quick access to public transportation, food and the City Centre.
I will also have my IRC client turned on for discussion in #ubuntu-ke if you would like to join us virtually via that web IRC client or use your own IRC client. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! I hope this will be the first of many related events.
The Ubuntu Hour was proposed by myself and made possible with the help of the iHub staff, iHub Member and Dreamfish Member Bernard Owuor and iHub Member, Dreamfish founder and CEO Tiffany von Emmel.
According to the website the space was made possible by funding to Ushahidi by the Omidyar Network and Hivos. Ushahidi covers the lease, electricity and data connections.
Jambo Kenya
In a few short days I am headed to Nairobi, Kenya for three months to work with Dreamfish and recent graduates of Nairobits. While in Nairobi I look forward to to meeting with the Ubuntu Kenyan Team and other open source related groups such as iHub, mFarm and Ushahidi.
Before I leave I am hosting several send-off parties in the San Francisco bay area next week. Please join us if you can.
- Aug 31, 8:00 at noisebridge.net in San Francisco
- Sept 1, 7:00 at tiedhouse.com in Mountain View
- Sept 2, 8:00 at dvlug.org in Walnut Creek
I will have an Internet connection while staying at Dreamfish Place Nairobi and hope to participate remotely in various Ubuntu events during my trip.
Ubuntu Membership
While I have been contributing to Ubuntu for over a year, I am pleased that my application was accepted and I am now an Ubuntu Member. What does this mean? In the Ubuntu community special recognition is given to Ubuntu contributors who have demonstrated significant and sustained effort in one or more ways. While many California Team members have made contributions, Ubuntu Members have also documented these efforts in an application and appeared via IRC before a governing board for approval. Ubuntu Members (519 world wide at present) play a role in the governance of Ubuntu by voting to confirm new appointments to the Ubuntu Community Council.
I would like to thank everyone for the testimonials they provided and for their support during the IRC meeting. It was quite a validation of my efforts that I will not soon forget.

I have still been working, just forget to post, but I will persist
I have recently uploaded a few new Journal Quilts to the Made on Monday Site, Hosted by Kate Bridger
Earlier in the year, I did a lot of printing on fabric and sheers of gum leaves and I have finally gotten around to doing something with them!
Jane Lafazio, to make a large wall hanging. Of course that is a long way away.
I have also now got a beautiful Bernina Q20 long arm! I have done about half a dozen quilts since I got it and am really enjoying the space!
AS I said, I am doing a degree in fine arts too, so sometimes I have deadlines there.
I have also almost completed my quilt for Art Quilts Around the World Can't show that until after the due date which is the 30th Nov, so here is just a taster.
Don't forget to be creative every day!

Paper to Fabric with left overs
My husband has been cutting things out of perspex to sell and gave me some of the waste pieces to use as templates.
I started by using them on paper.
I used inktense blocks to make rubbings and spread it outside the rubbing with water. I really loved the distressed look and decided I wanted to do it on fabric. Inktense is permanent once it has been wet and dried, so perfect on fabric.
This was mt first rubbing. I still wanted the blurred washed out surround.
With this one I used a brush to blur out the edges, but it was too pale for me so I added a bit more around the edges with my characteristic scribbles. I also needed to make the central rubbing permanent so I sprayed it with water then dried it quickly with the iron. I look forward to free motion quilting this one!

A new group
I have joined a new challenge group called Art Quilts Around the World. I am hoping it will give me a new impetus for blogging regularly. I am also now completing a Bachelor of fine art at university, so to get the flow going I will show you a few pieces I recently completed as part of my course.
This piece was an attempt to create depth using layers, shapes and line. I used two screen prints layered with organza and a small thread sketch. This is very close to the work I normally do.
This piece was using layering of organza as well, but the subject is the subcellular world. Just a glimpse of what is inside all our cells.
This is a box that I created using layers of organza. It is also based on the subcellular world, but this time plant cells. I was very pleased with the way light moves through it and it now sits on my desk near the window to catch the light.
So, whilst I have not been posting, I have been busy. I even had a little exhibition recently
here are a few pictures
Hope you enjoy my post. Hope to post again soon.

Getting my art on
I have had an extremely difficult year with family issues and am finally starting to get my mojo back. It has taken me a long time to find my space again and I am still working on it, but recently, I have started to get some work accomplished! I have been doing some free motion work on my new little bernina, which I got from Bernina Australia at caroline sharkey's wonderful workshop in August at Uluru (Ayers Rock) It was a wonderful time and I did a workshop with Sue De Vanny, which was excellent
Above is the piece of work I completed at the workshop.
Since I came home and also since the problems have sorted themselves, I have been doing a lot of free machine practice and free machine doodling.
These are two of my current practice pieces. One is just a grid of squares but the other is in a double wedding ring type layout.
As I said, I am also doing a lot of doodling.
These are two panels that will be part of a new sewing machine travelling case for my new Bernina, since one of my machines was damaged badly on a plane trip early this year! I am in love with this multicolour wonderfil thread!
This one, finished now, was a mandala I doodle stitched then coloured with fabric markers. I also have one other doodle panel on the go, but haven't photographed it yet.
So what else?
Above left is a needlefelted panel I whipped up one day (lol), which is waiting for some stitching, and the other is a very large crochet blanket I have been working on called sophie's universe. I am only half way, perhaps I'll finish by next summer?
Of course if you know me, you know that textiles are only half my crafty self. I will post soon with some of my art, journaling and mixed media play.
Happy Creating!

Free motion practice
One other thing I have been doing earlier this year is free motion sketching practice. I was using creativebug's sketching challenges as inspiration. The subjects were very basic, but it was good practice. Here are some of my results.
Trees, cups and chairs
Leaves, my favourite
Watch, apples, vegetanles and bikinis
Fish and forks
Cacti, brushes and jars
And this was an owl on a card my mother sent me.
There are a few months of sketching challenges on the site, and I really enjoyed the practice.
Hope you are being creative!

Back again
I have not blogged for nearly a year, and I have found that I was not as productive, partly because I was not blogging, but also because the Tangled Textiles Group finished. I tried lots of challenges and workshops, but found that it was impossible for me to stick to anything, especially if it was an every day commitment because there are periods where I am not at home. for the next few weeks, I will try and go through some of the things I am doing.
My last posts here were about journal quilts and I have attempted to keep doing these with the help of Kate Bridger, who is hosting a Made on Monday five inch square challenge on her site. I have been absent for a month or so, but am hoping to join in again. Participants also post their work on the textile arts facebook page.
Here are my first seventeen contributions
They are all on my favourite theme of leaves and use a variety of techniques including free motion embroidery, hand embroidery and thread painting and a wide variety of fabrics including hand printed fabric.
Hope you enjoy these and I will be back with more as I do them
