This fast and easy Italian tuna pasta
is simple enough to become a weeknight go-to meal yet elegant enough to
serve for a holiday or special dinner party. I recommend using a top
quality tuna packed in olive oil, such as Flott, which can be found in
most Italian specialty markets.
Makes 4 servings
2 (5-6 oz) cans or jars of Italian tuna packed in olive oil
1/2 cup sliced olives, such as Kalamata and green Cerignola
1 1/2 cups cannelini beans, rinsed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
the zest of half of a lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley*
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 pound spaghetti
salt, to taste
In a large bowl combine tuna with its oil, sliced olives, beans, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Then stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until well combined.
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until al dente. Drain in a colander and return to pot. Add the tuna mixture to the pot and toss well. Stir in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil until pasta is well coated. Warm until just heated through. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately. Garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
*Note: In addition to parsley, I sometimes add finely chopped celery leaves.

Western Pennsylvania Christian Orators By Laws
as amended July 7, 2015
The Vision of Western Pennsylvania Christian Orators (WPACO) as a parent-led coop is to assist home-educating families as they endeavor to develop sound communication skills in Christian students so that they can effectively communicate their ideas, thoughts, and beliefs, thereby positively impacting both the body of Christ and their culture for the cause of Christ.
Article 1: Vision
1. Each board meeting shall be opened with the reading of the WPACO vision statement.
2. The WPACO Vision Statement, Statement of Beliefs, and Code of Conduct are already in place and remain in place. Nothing in this document in any way overrides those statements.
3. All business and interactions of WPACO and its Board should be handled with a biblical spirit and attitude, as summarized in the Peacemakers' Pledge.
Article 2: Board Membership
1. The WPACO Board will usually consist of at least 10 people and no more than 15 people.
2. Although there may be appropriate reasons to make exceptions, it will be the usual case that husband and wife will both serve as board members.
3. For the sake of continuity, new board members will generally commit to serve at least two years on the WPACO Board. Members may serve for more than two years.
4. When a member desires to resign from the WPACO Board, he or she will normally note this intention at least two months in advance.
5. WPACO Board membership will be self-perpetuating. That is, when there are openings on the board, new members will be selected by the board by 2/3's vote of the entire board membership.
Article 3: Board Meetings
1. The WPACO Board as a whole will meet as necessary, at least one time per year. Additional meetings may be called by the Executive Committee.
2. Board members are expected to attend all meetings. Members who miss two meetings within a year (July 1 to June 30), barring exceptional circumstances, will be asked to resign.
3. The board will seek to make decisions by reaching consensus. When this is not possible, decisions will be made by majority vote.
4. Absent board members will be allowed to vote. These votes must be communicated in advance. Also, the issue must be of such a nature that an "informed vote" can be made in advance. (also, see Article 7)
Article 4: Board Functions
1. The WPACO Board will set general policies and make major decisions. The board will deal with significant issues such as any decision to expand or divide the group, to oversee new groups, to decide how many tournaments to schedule, etc. Decisions relating to the implementation of these major decisions will generally be handled by the committees and the administrative team.
Article 5: Board Leadership
1. The WPACO Board Chairman will be a father who has had at least one year of experience serving on the board. He will be selected by the board and will serve a one-year term, from July 1 to June 30.
Main duties include the planning and conducting of board meetings and facilitating discussion and decision making when the board is required to do so.
2. The WPACO Board Vice Chairman will be a father who has had at least one year of experience serving on the board. He will be selected by the board and will serve a one-year term, from July 1 to June 30.

If the Board Chairman resigns without finishing his term, the Vice Chairman will become the Board Chairman and complete the term. The newly vacant position of Vice Chairman will be filled at the next board meeting, to complete the term.
If the Vice Chairman resigns without finishing his term, the position will be filled at the next board meeting, to complete the term.
3. The WPACO Board Treasurer will be a board member, selected by the board. He/She will serve a one-year term, from July 1 to June 30.

This Executive Committee will include the Board Chairman, the Board Vice Chairman, the Board Treasurer, and the Board Secretary. As many as two additional individuals can be chosen from among board members to serve on the Executive Committee, serving as Executive Committee members-at-large. Membership on this committee is restricted to board members.
The Executive Committee members will serve a one-year term, from July 1 to June 30. The membership of the executive committee will be adjusted as necessary whenever there are changes in board leadership.
3. The Administrative Team will consist of two or three mothers (current board members) who are actively involved in the teaching and organization/administration of WPACO. They will implement board policy, make curriculum decisions, assign classrooms and teachers, conduct registration, and administer the daily workings of WPACO.

6. The Scholarship Committee will be responsible to disburse fundraising money to enable WPACO families to participate in the regional and national tournaments.

You drive home from work, open the car door, get out and you close the car door and lock it. As you walk to your house door you get out your house keys. As you open the door you see two unknown strangers sitting in the middle of the living room on the floor with their hands tied behind their back. You then sneak towards them. As you get close to them you realize that they both have their neck sliced. You gasp and scream and you run towards the phone to call 9-1-1. Before you grab the phone, you see a bloody butcher's knife, next to it a note. You grab the note first since you're that curios about what it says. The note says, "You killed both of the people. You sliced their necks and now you have to suffer the punishment." You drop the note and quickly turn around, behind you, you see your reflection in a mirror with the bloody butcher's knife. A flash appears and that's when you wake up in the asylum. The unknown people, which you can't see, say, "Next time there will be no trace." Before you know it, you are in an empty room with nothing but a metal bed and a toilet but no window or lights. You then close your eyes and dream of another murder scene.

It has been a struggle. I dont find it negative but rather positive as the struggling equates me working hard and doing my best. I think there are two aspects that a photographer must master to be successful. There is the "technical" aspect and the "creative" aspect. As an IT person, I tend to master quickly the technical side of photography, from using the functions of the camera to installing softwares that allow you to do post processing, learning the histogram in relation to the triangles of exposure to gears to use for cetain situations and just everythig technical. They were just pretty much learning things over and over again. With being creative, it's what I struggle for to be honest. I just felt that I lack the creativity that I need on my photos in general.
Creativity can be learned and mastered in my own opinion. It takes more practice, practice and practice. But there are just people who are creatively gifted and one of the people I admire to is Benjamin Von Wong. Do search his works and you'll know what I mean. He was an engineer who quit his 9-5 job to pursue photography full time and he tours around the world to meet creative minded individuals to pull off epic shoots.
With the right team, creativity can be limitless and I think I perform well working with others. It allows me to get other perspective on things that I do not see and bring me something I haven't experienced before that others on my team have experienced. With my example, Benjamin Von Wong loves working with creative and passionate individuals. You can see the results. Check out his long list of behind the scenes videos and know more about him.
It all comes down to this. I am still on my infancy stage when it comes to photography and as I keep in mentioning, I still have a lot of work to do to reach where I wanted to go. Knowing my weakness enables me to work more on it as much as I can. With information literally just everywhere on the internet, educating yourself is limitless. You can take it the free way literally or the paid way. Just sayin'.
Let me know about your thoughts on the comments section below.
And one more thing. There will be a big announcement that I'll be making in my next few blogs about the direction of my photography so do check my blog as often as possible or subscribe by entering your email on the right so you will get updates exclusively.

Following our three day "introduction" to Japan, spent in Tokyo, it was time to hop on the train to head on our eastward journey across country to Matsumoto (my quick guide to Japanese transport can be found HERE).
Matsumoto was to be simply a "stop gap" in our travels, as we were bound further onward toward Tsumago and eventually Kyoto. Just an overnight kind of thing, basically.
Thankfully the morning train from Tokyo was early enough for us to arrive in Matsumoto at a reasonable enough time to explore the area quickly before dusk, however it wasn't quite early enough to squeeze anything in other than visiting the famous Karasu-jō , aka "Crow Castle". More on that in a little while, but first, let me just share a handful of thoughts on Matsumoto itself.
Wikipedia says: "Matsumoto is a mountain city on Japan's main island, Honshu. Nearby Nakamachi Street is lined with old merchant houses reminiscent of a bygone Japan. The Japanese Alps loom overhead, with hot springs, ski runs and hiking trails. In summer, a road to Mount Norikura is carved through deep walls of snow."
First impressions? Well Toto! I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, right? VERY different landscapes to Tokyo indeed. We were in a much more rural setting for sure.
Buildings are less compacted, and mostly no more than two stories in height (unless the building was a hotel or larger store in the area, for example). There are spaces of greenery and natural water sources, and plenty of local food establishments to choose from, particularly ramen dishes and curries.
Our hotel, Hotel Buena Vista, was positioned conveniently around a 10 minute walk from "Crow Castle". The hotel was the same kind of deal as the one in Tokyo in that it was a westernised affair, again, because it was simply a very brief stay before heading onward further.
The hotel itself though was very plush at a 4* grade, all staff more than happy to help, and you have around 4 restaurants to choose from, which is extremely fortunate because at the time of our arrival was a national holiday in Matsumoto (Matsumoto Soba Festival), and all of the local restaurants closed early!
Views from the room were very urban, but that's obviously fine by us. I wanted to see EVERYTHING!!! I didn't care what it was! Haha!!
The cutest part of the view actually, was to our neck craning left was a small apartment with huge french windows looking in on an elderly gentleman who would more than likely be kneeling at his table either eating or reading, with a perfectly formed and tended zen garden on his balcony areas. So dreamy. It almost made me burst into tears, infact...
Ok, so more about our adventure to "Crow Castle" then! Here's a little formalised history before we continue.
Wikipedia says: " 'Crow Castle' is located in the city of Matsumoto, in Nagano Prefecture and is within easy reach of Tokyo by road or rail.
The keep (tenshukaku), which was completed in the late sixteenth century, maintains its original wooden interiors and external stonework. It is listed as a National Treasure of Japan.
Matsumoto Castle is a flatland castle (hirajiro) because it is not built on a hilltop or amid rivers, but on a plain. Its complete defences would have included an extensive system of inter-connecting walls, moats, and gatehouses."
"For the next 280 years until the abolition of the feudal system in the Meiji Restoration, the castle was ruled by the 23 lords of Matsumoto representing six different daimyō families. In this period the stronghold was also known as Crow Castle (烏城 Karasu-jo) because its black walls and roofs looked like spreading wings."
I have to add that the preservation of this guy has been utterly, utterly pristine in quality, and to the day of our visit, there was still work being done to keep the foundations in place. Beautiful.
The dusk of the evening framed 'Crow Castle' perfectly, and gave it all of the presence we could have wished from from it's angles, dominance, and ultimately the famous red bridge over the moat.
There was no fee to enter the 'Castle' grounds at the time of our visit, however if you wanted to climb the castle itself, then there was a fee of 100 yen to enter. A small price to pay, however we were nearing closing time and there was so much more for us to see around the outside, that we just lost all track of the clock, unfortunately.
Mind you, as I mentioned earlier, the Matsumoto Soba Festival was in full swing, and the Castle grounds were crammed with delicious Soba stalls and other delicious foods to celebrate. It naturally more than made up for the fact that none of the local restaurants were open, as you could literally eat your own weight in anything on offer for quite a reasonable price indeed (take up to 1000 yen for an absolute feast. 500 if your "pretty hungry"). You can just about see the covered stalls in the photograph above, but this was at a point where everything was beginning to wind down.
So as evening truly began to fall, we skipped back to the hotel to satisfy our hunger further with an all you can eat buffet option at one of the restaurants there (3000 yen/£20 ish).
The buffet consisted of lots of really tasty bits and bobs, from different varieties of Japanese curry, meats, fish, rice, and miso (my favourite) of course. There was even a grill there to cook you up some steak to your liking, if you fancied it. All desserts were also included, and I have absolutely no shame in showing you those in the closing photo below.
There was also an additional "all you can drink" option (paid separately), whereby you could literally help yourself to beer and wine all night. Now, if that was a deal ANYWHERE in England, there would be fatal HAVOC, I tell you. In Japan, however, it's simply enjoyed slowly, before heading quietly off to bed for TV and pyjamas.
See you next in Tsumago!

Michael McLeod says government recognizes need to provide more support for Indigenous people in Canada
May 16, 2018
The federal government announced $2.3 million over four years for Dechita Naowo — an organization in Ndilo, N.W.T., that offers free training in areas like environmental monitoring, construction and administration.
The territory's MP Michael McLeod made the announcement in Ndilo on behalf of Patty Hajdu, Canada's minister of employment, workforce development and labour.
"The government's recognized that we need to provide better supports for Indigenous people across the country," said McLeod.
He referred to the high unemployment among Indigenous people in Canada's North. McLeod said investing in this program will help prepare people for job opportunities that they would otherwise not be qualified for.

Green Dock Beetles at Brockholes Wetlands
May 15, 2013: After a delayed start to the season due to cold weather, Green Dock Beetles (Gastrophysa viridula) are now emerging in good numbers. Dock leaves (Rumex sp.) have already become chewed and egg clusters, mating pairs, and pregnant females are well in evidence. The beetles' elytra are of a brilliant green colour but varying angles of incident light often shows them to be red, gold,, or yellow. Individuals are about 5-7mm long.

I am a big fan of Tanya Burr! It's true! I have been watching her videos since she began posting all those years ago. In fact, it was Tanya although with her sister-in-laws Sam and Nic Champan (of Pixiwoo fame) who coaxed me into the beauty world. I owe most of what I know about the world of beauty to them – they sparked it all. I've watched all of them grow into the superstars they are now and can't believe how far they have come on. I only really noticed the height of their notoriety when I started to hear people (a lot younger than I) talking about them when I was out and about – they were no longer the small scale youtubers I watched after a long day at work.
Being a bit of a fan-girl myself (albeit older than the masses) I was really keen to try out the new products Tanya Burr has added to her 'Tanya Burr Cosmetics' range. I liked the first products that came out during her first launch but was looking forward to seeing how she had pushed things forward and improved on them. They appeared to be really popular when they launched so, I expected Tanya would have a lot more clout and scope to be more "hands on" this time round.
So, I soon headed off to Superdrug to see what I could pick up!
This was when the mass of her target audience was reaffirmed to me. As I headed to the "Yoububer aisle" (fast becoming a staple section of most beauty stores) I had to push my way through crowds of young girls gawking and prodding at her numerous cosmetics (along with those of her fellow Youtuber, and friend, Zoella). The enthusiasm these shoppers have for everything she has created is amazing. However, picking up products to find most of them have fingerprint smudges, ripped labels or broken off pieces? Not so much!
You can see that Tanya has pitched her product line to this audience market through whilst still including some of her own signature quirkiness. The packaging is fun and feminine with metallic detailing and bright colours whilst the moulds of the products inside features cute, little love-hearts and butterflies.
Everything about these products is very sweet and pretty right down to their names – "fairy cake," "Martha moo," "Soft pyjamas." Since the beginning of her product launch Tanya has always expressed her love for naming products. Her original nail polishes in "little duck" and "Mischief Managed" were some of my favourite names. They are quirky whislt still being personal to her – "Martha Moo" for example is in homage to her pet dachshund, Martha.
The price point for these cosmetics is very reasonable and accessible for her young fans. Products range from around £4 to the £12 mark and limited edition items and gifts sets can be picked up for not much more than this too.
Superdrug also often has "3 for 2" or "buy one get one free" promotions on which means fans can snap up even more than they hoped for. I love that her products are so accessible in this way.
I've picked out two products from my purchases to feature in today's blog post:
Tanya Burr Perfect Brow Palette £7.00
Tanya often speaks about, and uses, this kit in her Youtube videos which include celebrity inspired make-up tutorials and personal make-up looks. She has often said that she "couldn't live without" this product and that a lot of how the product was created was inspired by her own needs. The kit includes four shades: 'fairy cake,' 'pebble,' 'chestnut' and 'hot cocoa'. It provides a good range of colours to suit different skin tones and hair colouring. I really like that there are a variety of shades because I like to mix and match when doing my own brows. I find that depending on the look I want to achieve a "one colour fits all" product doesn't really work. Most products focus in on only one shade and quite often it's a case of getting a shade that's "close enough" rather than perfect. So, the mix and match component is by far my favourite thing about this palette. It also includes a pair of tweezers and a little brow brush (spoolie) which is a nice touch. It is definitely a good starter kit for those venturing into brow work for the first time whilst still being good enough quality to appease the more "brow-experienced". The consistency of the powder is nice and, so far, I haven't experienced any fall out when putting it on! I will definitely repurchase.
Tanya Burr Rosy Flush Cheek Palette £8.00
First off, I love how pretty this product is. The detailing of stars, love-hearts and stripes on the powder compacts is so sweet and add to that "something special" feeling of the product. These kinds of little details almost make you feel guilty for wearing them down. I am pleased to say though that I have used this several times now and the patterns have so far remained. The beach bronzer is a classic colour than can be used for general bronzing (and contour if you wish) and there is a soft highlighting shade in "champagne shimmer" to compliment it. The highlighter –given the price of some of the most popular highlighters out there – is fantastic. It's really pigments and provides a lovely, shimmery glow without making you look inter-galactic.
It's the "apricot flush" however, that stands out for me in this palette. It is a soft, peachy tone which works well with many skin tones particularly fair skinned. This is refreshing for me as I often find these kind of palettes are geared more towards those with a darker, olive skin tone so it is great to see that it is a shade I can easily use every day. The products go on well, blend easily and have decent staying power.
Overall, I would say I am impressed and would definitely purchase these two products from the range again. The brow kit certainly looks like it's shaping up to become a handbag staple.
How are you finding the Tanya Burr Cosmetics Range? What do you think I should try next?

Teacher Need-Structure and Instructional Preference in Reading: A Pilot Study.
Duncan, Patricia H.
Thirty-one experienced teachers enrolled in graduate reading courses served as subjects in a study conducted to determine whether simple instruments could be developed to assess teacher need structure, frequency of teacher behaviors related to reading, and the relationship between the two. A 25-item instrument was developed based on Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The subjects indicated the amount of their agreement with each item and then responded to a checklist of 45 typical behaviors related to teaching reading. Also, the subjects were given a list of Maslow's categories and asked to indicate with which need each item corresponded. It was concluded that the opinionnaire was able to indicate distinct motivational directions for most subjects, appeared to resist the influence of rater tendencies toward high or low weighting, and contained a majority of items that clearly fit particular need categories. The behavior checklist did not appear to discriminate between frequently and infrequently occurring behaviors. (TJ)

If you're an Australian business or targetting an Australian market, then Australian Web Hosting is a must.
We've put together 4 compelling reasons why you should be hosting your website locally to you and your market.
Have you ever received an email bounce for an email from your email address, or your email domain, that you never sent? We get a lot of emails and calls from people that this has happened to with the concern that their email accounts have been hacked.
While this may be the case, it's not the only reason why this could have occurred.
With Wordpress being one of the most ubiquitous content management system used on the web today, it's no surprise that it's heavily targeted by hackers.
The ease of setup and management, together with the extensible plugin architecture of Wordpress, make it a great tool to quickly build a new website.
Changing the PHP version, configured extensions and basic settings is easy in cPanel using the built in PHP Version Selector.
We are always looking for ways to bring you new products and services or improve our existing services. Our new premium anti-spam system is a combination of both.
We have partnered with SpamExperts to implement their hosted cloud solution.
We have been receiving more than the average number of support tickets relating to SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates of late, so we have decided to put together this post which will hopefully answer any questions that you might have about SSL certificates: how to get them, how they work etc., as well as some questions you didn't know you had yet.
Securing your Virtual Private Server is of utmost importance: it is part of your Internet life, and may well be part of your infrastructure that is absolutely mission-critical, and if it were to be compromised the ramifications could be anything from minor irritation to complete disaster.
We are not claiming that this post is a full-proof defence and will render you impervious to hacker attack, but anything you can do will certainly help, and these are useful steps.
Steps to show how to purchase and SSL certificate to secure your website.
We are sometimes asked why emails are being flagged as spam. Mail servers use a disparate variety of methods to combat spam and in most cases we are not in control of the system that is flagging these emails as spam.
This is therefore not a question we can answer with authority, but is something the recipient network administrator can answer. However, two common issues have emerged:

Fires Flare at Sapref Refinery in South Durban
View from Wentworth Park
View from Cuttings Beach at the Umlazi Canal
For several years, the South Durban Community Environmental Alliance (SDCEA) has pressured Sapref to install back-up generators, but Sapref has failed to do so. Sapref's neglect continues to put nearby communities at risk. The SDCEA calls for the Sapref Refinery to re-examine the urgent need for back-up generators in light of today's dangerous flaring.
"It is unacceptable that South Durban communities are left in the dark about incidents such as these by the city officials as well as polluting industries. Due to lack of information, our communities cannot continuously bear the brunt of these incidents that leave them uncertain of their health risks. Communities are outraged by these incidents, and tend to turn to the SDCEA instead of city officials since officials have previously not responded positively", stated Bongani Mthembu, GIS & Air Quality Officer specialising in pollution at the South Durban Community Environmental Alliance.

by Cat Clarke
My opinion on Entangled by Cat Clarke is a highly recommended view. I purchased this book because I ran out of books to read, I read the blurb and enjoyed how it made you want to find more about the characters, I started it slowly at first but then I could not place the book down. It has an intriguing plot about it and I enjoyed that about the novel, however I was disappointed about the ending did Grace die? What happened to Sal and Nat?
3.5/5 stars

I am a newbie to slots. This question might have already been asked so apologies if it already has. From the information in the slot pictorial guides there is a mention of metal bending if it is necessary when working on slot machine mechanism. I believe that in pictures of old slot tools there are some tools that were exactly for the purpose of bending metal horizontal, vertical and so on. Are these tools available to purchase? I don't have the equipment to make my own so I am hoping that such tools are still available? Even in the modern world there must be occasions were you still need to bend metal? If anyone has these tools and can post a few images then that would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Lol

The exact cause of RLS is unknown.
Primary RLS is the most common type of RLS. It is also referred to as familial (because it is hereditary) or idiopathic (because the causes are unknown) RLS.
Secondary RLS , on the other hand, is believed to be caused by a separate underlying medical condition or in association with the use of certain drugs. For example, some of these conditions include vein disease in the legs such as varicose veins, kidney failure, low levels of iron or anemia, pregnancy, and peripheral neuropathy (a problem with the nerves that carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord that produces pain, loss of sensation, and inability to control muscles). Stress, diet or other environmental factors can also play a role in developing secondary RLS.
Several research teams have taken a closer look at what might cause primary RLS. In particular, recent studies at Johns Hopkins and Pennsylvania State Colleges have found evidence for brain iron deficiency as a cause for primary RLS. This was first demonstrated in cerebrospinal fluid studies and more recently by the first-ever autopsy analysis of the brains of people with RLS. The autopsy studies reported that cells from the portion of the brain called the substantia nigra showed a deficit in one of the proteins that regulates iron status. However, this evidence suggests that the iron insufficiency in the brain of RLS patients comes directly from a failure of normal iron regulation. In terms of finding a cure, this is good news. The results of this study show that there is no brain damage in people with RLS and that drugs that target the problem of iron uptake may be one way to approach future developments of a treatment.
More than 80 percent of people with RLS also suffer from a condition known as periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD). Characteristics of PLMD include involuntary leg twitching or jerking movements during sleep that occur repeatedly throughout the night and result in

Few would argue that EA have been at the forefront of the video game industry in terms of intergrating music into their games. They have routinely used the music of upcoming bands (OK Go in Madden 2003, hired top notch producers to score original music (NBA Street), and have hired well known pop stars to sing theme songs and even star in the games (Def Jam Vendetta, the upcoming James Bond 007: Everything Or Nothing).
They will continue their co-mingling of modern music and video games with the soundtrack to their upcoming game NFL Street, which will be available for NFL Street will be available on PS2, Xbox and GameCube in January 2004.
The music will be a mix of hip hop and rock from artists as diverse as Baby D and The Lostprophets, plus it will include an all original score by the legendary turntablist outfit The X-ecutioners. Additionally, several of the tracks of the tracks will be premiered on the game before they come out on the respective band's albums.

Rally Day, September 7, is a day of re-gathering, re-covenanting,
and renewal. The summer is over, school has begun, and it's time
for us to return to Sunday School and worship. We will gather in the
sanctuary at 9:15 for a rousing opening and then dismiss to our
classes to reunite with our old friends and make new ones.
I am so excited to start this new year of faith formation using our
new curriculum, "Shine." God's light shines in the darkness of our
world and we are a reflection of God's light. God calls us to shine
our light on others. The light transforms us so we can bring healing
and hope to the world. One of the Biblical texts that have formed the
basis of this new curriculum is Isaiah 9:2, "The people who walked
in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in the land of
deep darkness – on them light has shined." "Shine" encourages us to
let our light shine.
This reminds me of a story I once heard, to close each day's activities
in summer and on holidays in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney
World a huge fireworks display lights up the sky. One night a
tourist noticed a small boy about three years old perched on his
father's shoulder. The child sat mesmerized, aware only of what was
exploding in the heavens. When the fireworks were over, the little
boy looked up into the sky again and said, "Thank you, God."
Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world. We may not be as
explosive, noisy, or even as beautiful as Walt Disney World's
fireworks, but when I look at the light we share, I say, "Thank you,
Blessings, Pastor Susan

Date Traveled, August 2012
The Pha That Luang stupa and the Patuxai monument are two important national symbols of Laos. The Pha That Luang was an old stupa that was destroyed in a Thai invasion in the early 19th century and rebuilt by the French. The Patuxai was built more recently to celebrate Laos' return to independence.
They are both located in the center of Vientiane and away from the waterfront area where much of the hotels are. If you are staying in one of the hotels or guesthouses around the waterfront, it probably makes sense for you to grab a tuk tuk to take you there. Its a short 20 minute ride to the Pha That Luang and the Patuxai is on the way. My partner and I were in Vientiane for just an overnight stay before leaving Laos and had arrived in the afternoon. After checking into our hotel, the Ansara, we walked the streets past the cafes and restaurants to first see the central square, Nam Phou. The Nam Phou fountain is a popular hub in Vientiane and is surrounded by more cafes and restaurants. The fountains were undergoing renovations and were not turned on but I could see why with its gardens and convenient central location that it was a popular spot.
Nam Phou Fountain and That Dam stupa
A fun Tuk Tuk ride to the Patuxai and Pha That Luang
One of the Wats near the Pha That Luang
A short distance away from the Nam Phou fountain is the That Dam stupa. The That Dam stupa or simply the "black stupa" is an interesting structure and worth the short stop to visit it. It is an old monument that has been allowed to be taken over by the weeds and plants that grow all over its sides giving it an almost natural appearance. It seems so out of place where it is located around the concrete growth of the city, like it has been left behind while the rest of the place changes around it.
We found a tuk tuk near the That Dam and negotiated a round trip journey for about 60,000 kip. Could have probably gone lower but was in a good mood. We didn't originally know if it we were going to bother going all the way to the Pha That Luang, but having gone there now, my advise is to definitely go see it if you are in Vientiane. Its a short easy diversion and the tuk tuk ride is a fun way to see a bit more of Vientiane. Besides, you can see everything else in Vientiane in a couple of hours or so, you might as well bag these interesting monuments while here. We decided to go because the other Wats nearby, the Wat Si Saket and Haw Phraw Kaew, were closed, fortunately it turned out, because we were able to visit them the next day before out flight and so got to see all the sights.
We passed by the Patuxai on our way and would stop by on the return trip. It was fun riding around the city in the tuk tuk partly because we got to see more of the capital which is so different from sleepy Luang Prabang and partly because the city is not yet polluted or dusty but that is probably inevitable if it grows like other places in the region. One can still hope they will be able to balance things out.
The Pha That Luang is located at the center of a large park area and is surrounded by other Wats and a few public buildings in a neatly arranged setting. The bright golden hue of the stupa is distinctly striking even from a distance and is quite impressive to see. In front of the stupa in the park area there is a large statue of Chou Fa Ngum or Prince Fa Ngum, founder of the ancient Lan Xang kingdom which incorporated much more than present day Laos. Lan Xang translated to the land of a million elephants and is still a sobriquet for the country of Laos. The people of Laos consider Fa Ngum the founder of their nation and indeed he is an important historical figure for all the ethnic "Tai" people.
Prince Fa Ngum, founder of the Lan Xang Kingdom
The Patuxai monument
Vientiane by Tuk Tuk
Right in front of the Pha That Luang you will be accosted by people with birds offering you the chance to release the birds. I certainly refused to encourage this cruel practice and wish the authorities would crack down on that. But the incident did not prevent me from being fascinated by the Pha That Luang from up close. We also spent a few minutes walking around the stupa and also checking out the other Wats nearby before heading back for our return trip. Our tuk tuk dude remained as promised where he dropped us and even had refused to take the half fair I had earlier offered him. I did so only in case we got separated but regardless there were no issues there. He was cool and even took pictures of the two of us at the Patuxai.
The Patuxai is often called the Lao Arc de Triomphe because of its similarity to the Parisian monument but it actually has heavy Lao artistic and architectural influences. It was apparently built using American funds that were intended for an Airport in the 60s when the US was trying its best to prop up Laos and Vietnam from falling to Communism. Not sure what they felt about the money going to the Patuxai then, but from a ling term cultural legacy I think this trumps the airport. It is located in the center of a main artery of Vientiane and has a small lawn and fountain in front of it which was a popular photo spot for people. You could spend some time there if you want to relax nut a few minutes is sufficient to just see the place a bit. Afterwards we returned back to the area by the Mekong. Our tuk tuk driver dropped us off and got a decent tip from me as well, so all in all, all of us were happy with our tour.
