Selma: Evening alt and 3rd Doing Ok..and you?
alt: okay, was waiting on Serena to play
3rdthawkins: surprised to know that my Hawkins family already had a family website at myfamily.com, since at least 2000...I had created one in hopes to do what they already have done.......this is great, finding good information and see some pics oh, no college f-ball alt? hey daviss
Selma: Evening davis
daviss: Hello 3rd alt and Selma!!
alt: wonderful 3rdthawkins , the myfamily.com sites are really nice Hello daviss
3rdthawkins: yeah they are, now I need to add my own touch to it, they will be surprised at what I have
daviss: How are you all doing on this Saturday
alt: since 2000 that's long enought for some great history, photos & news items to have accumulated, you have a lot of catching up to do with your Hawkins lines.
3rdthawkins: real good daviss :}
Selma: How were the crab cakes daviss?
alt: how many folks are on the site 3rdthawkins?
3rdthawkins: yep alt, my plate is full with my Cummings line, and then ready to receive information from a cousin on my Sanders line, I feel almost overwhelmed, but i'm loving it
daviss: I have all the stuff fir the makings Selma and I will enjoy them during the Cardinals game on tomorrow
alt: I was watching ND & Michigan for a quick moment daviss
Selma: Ok daviss.. LOL
3rdthawkins: seem to be a lot alt, not sure exactly how many, but I see they have been having fun long before I knew anything about them...Im definitely late on the party to the party
daviss: Thanks much Selma and I will let you know if I have to eat them all by myself or if the kids like them too. Lil Tyler won't be a problem cause he loves anything granny cooks lol
Selma: How old is Lil Tyler? Give the child a hot dog.. LOL
daviss: lol he is 8 yrs old
alt: well there's a lesson to be learned there 3rdthawkins... to parahrase what Selma always says the 'conversation' was going on ling before you entered it.
Selma: You don't waste good crab meat on someone who doesn't appreciate
3rdthawkins: yep, and Im glad, I'm glad my Hawkins family is taking pride in themselves and their history, you don't see that on my mom's side
daviss: We are also going to have chicken wings with the fixins
Selma: I will have to get some crab meat tomorrow.. LOL
alt: I took Selma's statement to heart and remember that even as old as I am my family genealogy & history was 'happening' long before I got into it.
daviss: thats a good quote alt and Selma
3rdthawkins: right alt
alt: I think it is very appropiate daviss
daviss: Bearnut2!!! howdy
Selma: Same here...I just continue what was going on before...
3rdthawkins: that's a double lesson alt, because my great grandmother had already done a lot of family research, and those papers are going to be sent to me by her grandson (my fahter's first cousin) hello bearnut2
alt: Hello Bearnut2.. how ya doing this evening?
Bearnut2: Hi everybody--happy saturday!
daviss: when did you learn the Hawkins had been searching 3rd?
Selma: I do have better access to records then were available to many of the earlier folks
alt: and that's the BIG difference Selma ... access to records. but the 'old' methods still stand the test of time.
Selma: Evening bearnut...
daviss: Is this your dads line 3rd that have the page
Bearnut2: Hey Selma, alt, daviss, 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: at different times daviss, my gf's cousin let me know my gf's sister did some research and sent some of those papers to me, which I think it was actually her mother, my great grandmother who did the research, but not sure if she did it for hawkins......last Nov? I met a cousin online who had a tree up on ancestry.com, she had a few pictures on FB of some of my ancestors Yes daviss, Hawkins
Bearnut2: sorry --i was trying to catch up on the convo lol
3rdthawkins: but I believe the stories should stay alive also, that's what makes us, that's what keeps us strong and show how strong we are and have become
daviss: are the hawkins the ones that may have passed or is this another line 3rd
3rdthawkins: I don't know of any of the other relatives, but I know I have a story bevause of my grandfather, he gave his descendants that story, its a story that needs to be told, not just to the family, but to the world
alt: when I got into my Adams genealogy about 20 year ago I was given some papers by an ancestral cousin who had started charting the Adams family around 1920 following the 1st annual Adams family reunion.... his stuff is still working for me today.
3rdthawkins: daviss, my grandfather is one of only two people who (tried to) pass(ed) in the family....my great grandfather (my grandmother's father) is the other one
daviss: Oh Bearnut2 I still have not heard from Ancestry yet on the retest for my haplogroup
Bearnut2: ahh daviss you may need to call them again
daviss: Is that the hawkins 3rd ' I think they were also going to call the test facility
3rdthawkins: yes daviss...........I ws just talking to my grandfather's cousin, and she's the second person in the family that told me I need to write a book....I think I will....a movie could be in the works also
daviss: ok gotcha 3rd
3rdthawkins: of course, this cousin is apart of the Sanders line, NOT the Hawkins the other cousin (my dad's 1st cousin) is the other one that told me she's in the Hawkins line, her mother also passed (but married Hispanic)
alt: Our Adams folks did a WDYTYA are thing with a chart att this year's reunion on our Adams lines... which date back to about 1725.
daviss: I got an email from Sharon (Seraph) and she got her results back also from 23 and me
Bearnut2: that was a really cool idea with the chart, art
3rdthawkins: yeah it was
alt: was she with the RITF project daviss?
Bearnut2: cool daviss!
Selma: How is Seraph..haven't seen her in awhile..I know school started she is probably busy
daviss: yes alt
alt: hmmm, was she satisfied with the information from the tes?
daviss: she is good Selma I need to call
Bearnut2: i know a bunch of folks got results last week--my family got 24 new cousins
Selma: alt..How is Irita..was thought about her yesterday
daviss: how close are the cousins bearnut2 Mabe you will hear soon alt Selma and 3rd did you two apply
3rdthawkins: for what?
alt: she's doing fine Selma ... 3rdthawkins, Irita's folks the Male's, Mayle's have a myFamily site with about 500-600 people.
Bearnut2: probably about 5 were 3rd to 6th and the rest 5th and greater
daviss: RITF Project
Bearnut2: Ingrid!!! HI!
Selma: Noe
alt: they have something like 3,000 pictures on the site 3rdthawkins
3rdthawkins: wow, not sure if we have that many alt, of course they are adding names of those who passed, mainly the children of my great great grandfather Levy Hawkins hello Ingrid_Doweary what is that daviss?

daviss: hello ingrid
Selma: Evening Ingrid

3rdthawkins: yes Ingrid, things are looking up, I am excited

3rdthawkins: hello jhonora
freeaainnc: hi jhonora
3rdthawkins: that's great bearnu2
alt: Hello jhonora, how ya doing?
Bearnut2: cool alt! have you tried ged match yet? everyone is excited about the new admixture tools
jhonora: Hello 3rdthawkins, alt, Bearnut2, daviss, freeaainnc, Selma
Ingrid_Doweary: Free, a library technician at work salvaged some books on material preservation for me. Hey Jhonora.
daviss: wonderful bearnut2
freeaainnc: congrats bearnut2
Bearnut2: hi jhonora
freeaainnc: great Ingrid!
daviss: hello free and jhonora
alt: no Bearnut2. I'm 'laying low' on the DNA stuff...
jhonora: I made a great discovery in the past three days
daviss: good for you also jhonora
Ingrid_Doweary: I was thinking about you when he asked if I wanted them. This university library where I work is weeding material now.
Bearnut2: thanks all! I was actually kicking myself because the means to find them where right in the 1920 census all the time
daviss: how did you locate them bearnut2
3rdthawkins: lol I get that myself bearnut
jhonora: I found out my gr-gr-gr-grandmothers parents and that her dad was a homesteader. We have our own lil' settlement called Hayes Quarters in Ms.
3rdthawkins: wow, cool jhonora
alt: ah so Bearnut2, that's what we were speaking of earlier... the access to records/materials are almost overwhelming.. we jsut have to know where to look .. and of course keep good records of what we already have discovered.
freeaainnc: that is cool jhonora
Selma: Wow..great find jhonora..
3rdthawkins: wb Ingrid
Bearnut2: I knew that my great great grandmother had a brother named Lee Williams and had found him and his wife and family in the census...
daviss: thats wonderful Jhonora!! was this in SC bearnut2
Ingrid_Doweary: Thanks 3rd. I was having trouble with text box.
alt: you found this homestead record where jhonora?
Bearnut2: "Something" told me to look at his census records again and in the 1920 listing with Lee's family, he had an older sister living with him
jhonora: I haven't gotten the file yet, but I came to learn of it through ancestry.
Bearnut2: no daviss in AL
alt: Okay jhonora
Ingrid_Doweary: Interesting how when you review the same documents over and over again, you discover something you didn't notice before.
Bearnut2: named Alice so I went looking for Alice in 1880 because according to the census, Lee was born in 1880 and I had never been able to find him
daviss: oh ok lol I was hoping you would say Texas cause I have an uncle Lee Williams
jhonora: I also discovered I have about 700 more cousins than I knew I had.
Ingrid_Doweary: Great findings Jhonora!
alt: hehehehehehe @ jhonora
daviss: that is a great find!!!
Ingrid_Doweary: Great find indeed, Bearnut2 and jhonora .
Bearnut2: lol daviss wow jhonora!
3rdthawkins: I hate making discoveries/finding information and still can't find a person in a particular census, erks me
alt: Now you and 3rdthawkins can see why my database is so large... after 20-25 years of throwing whoever I find and where into it the connections just start to show up.
3rdthawkins: hello AYWalton
AYWalton: good evening alll hi 3rd
Ingrid_Doweary: Hey AYWalton. good to see you.
AYWalton: greetings, alt, Bearnut2, daviss
alt: Hello AYWalton
Bearnut2: so I found Alice with their parents and other siblings on the 1880 census and also a baby boy named Leroy!
AYWalton: hello free, Ingrid, Ms. Selma.
Bearnut2: Hi AYWalton
daviss: heyyy AY!!!
freeaainnc: hi AY!
alt: Now you have another whole line of folks to work with Bearnut2
AYWalton: I was just watching WDYTYA the episode with Lionel Ritchie. you have a new line, Bearnut2?
3rdthawkins: I can watch his episode ALL NiGHT LONG!
alt: bad 3rdthawkins bad LOL
Bearnut2: yep alt, and the interesting thing is that the census was taken in June of 1920 and Alice died in July of 1920 and that is the only time I would have found her
3rdthawkins: lol lol
Ingrid_Doweary: You definitely do, Bearnut2 . I did get some questions about Maryland state history I was wondering about.
AYWalton: it is a good episode.
Bearnut2: yep AY--I think I've found my 3rd gr grandparents--Isaac and Harriet Williams of Barbour Co. AL
Ingrid_Doweary: Indeed that episode was a good one, AY.
3rdthawkins: yea it is AY, you're right..............................you think Bearnut2? so you're still not sure
AYWalton: I know you must be thrilled!! how wonderful!
Bearnut2: I won't be "sure" until I can find something that links them with either my 2nd gr grandmother
3rdthawkins: ahh, ok, so how sure are you (percentage)?
Ingrid_Doweary: I understand that, Bearnut2.
Bearnut2: or that definitively show that lee and Leroy are the same person. But I'm about 98% sure lol
alt: 3rdthawkins, that's why I think it is important to add those 'unattched' individuals when they are in the same area and are suspected siblings to a collateral relative... further research almost always connects them to your family.
Ingrid_Doweary: I concur with Alt about the collateral relatives research.
3rdthawkins: right alt, I'm going through that right now on my Cummings line with two people, for one, I am sure the one I found is him, I'm just trying to verify which children are his in the marriage and which ones are her's in the first marriage, but I'm sure it is him
AYWalton: I was trying to close out extra windows I had open and I closed out one too many.
Bearnut2: lol
3rdthawkins: got on a roll huh AY lol
Ingrid_Doweary: wb AY.
alt: I'm discovering all kinds of information and connections with the Indianapolis Recorder newspaper... it dates from 1898 to 2005
Ingrid_Doweary: You are researching a Cummings line, 3rd? Where is the Cummings homestead?
Bearnut2: I was able to find what I think was my 2nd gr grandmother's death certificate. I ordered it so I hope it is!
daviss: fingers are crossed for you bearnut2
3rdthawkins: yes Ingrid, Camp County, came from somewhere in Georgia
daviss: hello vkn!
AYWalton: greetings, vkn!
vkn: Good evening to each and all
3rdthawkins: Camp County Texas Ingrid, from Georgia, they have spread out now
Ingrid_Doweary: I'm glad to hear that Alt. Looking up some of the A-Am newspapers myself. Hey Vkn!
Bearnut2: hi vkn thanks daviss
AYWalton: hey hey hey, it's honoray---I did not see you over in the corner jhonoray!

daviss: AYWalton I am almost through with my blog re: The Help lol
AYWalton: oh really? Can't wait to read it!!!
jhonora: AY, I mentioned earlier that I made a great discovery over the past three days. I found out names of my g-g-g-grandmother's parents. Her dad was a homesteader and we have our own lil' settlement in Ms, Hayes Querters.
AYWalton: when will you post it??
Bearnut2: I keep hoping I'll have some luck with the newspapers but so far none yet. But my grandma did tell me there was a mention about her father inheriting some property when she was a little girl so I'm on the hunt to find it!
freeaainnc: where will you post it?
3rdthawkins: my 3rd great grandparents Ingrid Benjamin Cummings and Julia and their children, I think their youngest, who is my 2nd great grnadfather, was born in Texas.........but the rest were born in Georgia and was settled in Camp County, Texas by 1870
alt: hello vkn, sorry.. didn't hear you come in the room.
vkn: was tippin in alt
Ingrid_Doweary: Hayes Querters, MS. Which county is that in. ?

Are you a young carer?
A young carer is 'someone under 18 who has a significant role in supporting or looking after someone else who is experiencing drug and alcohol misuse, illness or disability'. If you are between 8 and 18 and looking after someone in your family; like a parent, step parent, grandparent, brother or sister.
Every young carer's situation is different but the help you give could include things like; shopping, cooking, laundry, nursing care (i.e. giving medication or helping someone getting up and down stairs) or help them get washed or dressed. You may spend time sitting with someone for company or listening to their problems. You might also be looking after younger brothers or sisters because your parents are not able to or because they have an illness or disability.
You may be the main carer or you could be helping someone else care. While everyone is different, lots of young carers have similar experiences and feelings. Sometimes it helps to know that there are other young carers out there who may think and feel the same way as you do.
There are lots of young carers across Scotland and the UK. In fact Scottish Young Carers Alliance figures estimate the number of young carers in Scotland is 44,000. Although through working in schools, young carer's projects suggest that it's closer to 100,000.
Lots of young carers feel good about what they do, but it can be tough too. They may worry about the person they care for or perhaps find it hard to join in with their friends because there are things at home they need to do. Some young carers find it hard to concentrate at school or find it hard to do their home work as they feel too tired. They sometimes feel different to others in their school and young carers are often teased or picked on.
However you feel about being a young carer, always remember that there are people out there you can talk to and get useful information or support from.
Help & Support from West Lothian Young Carers Project
If you look after someone, we may be able to give you some support.
We support many young carers in similar situations.
We can help you find out more about the illness or disability the person you care for has or maybe you'd like to know more about places you could get help. We can put you in touch with local activities for young people that you could join. Whatever information you need, we can help you find it.
Group work
Young carer groups are about having FUN. You can get a break from your responsibilities and meet other young carers. There are all sorts of activities on offer; like games, art and crafts and outings. There are Support Workers you can talk to if you have any worries. We run Senior and Junior Groups throughout the year.
Someone to talk to
Sometimes young carers find it helpful to see a Support Worker by themselves. You can talk about what's happening in your life. They may also be able to help you join in activities that are going on locally.
Support in Schools
Young carers often tell the support workers how difficult school can be. We have a 'Young Carers Champion' identified in all the secondary schools in West Lothian and they can be a point of contact to our project. We also run lunchtime drop in groups at some secondary schools so look out for our posters.
Activities & Outings
We organise day trips for young carers to have fun and get away from it all and sometimes we go away overnight during the school holidays.
Meet the Staff
West Lothian Young Carers Project Staff are friendly and always happy to help. They can get you involved in group work or activities for young carers and help you meet other people your age in similar situations. The workers are also able to help put you in touch with other people, to help you with different support or where to go for different activities. Ask the worker about some of this, if they can't help you they can find out what is out there for you.
You can tell the support worker anything and we won't tell anyone outside of West Lothian Young Carers Project without you agreeing, unless you say something that makes us think you or someone else is at risk of serious harm. If this happens we may have to pass it on to someone else.
Referring to us
Each young carer must be referred to the project before we can start working with them. The referral form can be completed by a parent, social worker, teacher etc. When we receive your referral form it will be held on our waiting list. We will write or call you when a space becomes available and we will come out to visit you. This is usually arranged at home or somewhere that's comfortable to you and your family. We will talk to you about your situation and find out more information and see how we may best be able to support you.
If you do not want us to visit you and just want some information, or to join our mailing list for newsletters and updates, that is fine – you just need to let us know what works best for you and your family.

Young Carers Quotes
Good to make friends and talk about what is on your mind
I feel more confident and more relaxed about meeting new people
My negative thoughts have changed into positive happy ones
I enjoyed meeting new people and had opportunities to take part in new and different things
I'm less worried now and go outside to play more
The project has helped me to get away from my mum and gave us a break from each other
It was good to meet others in same situation as me
I was always stressed and stuff but now I'm getting better marks in my lessons
Although I still worry about my mum when I leave the house, I think I'm more confident about getting out the house now
It was fun coming to the group and doing all the activities
I enjoyed having some time for myself
I have learnt I'm not the only person who has the same problems as me
I had lots of fun and feel much better about myself
I worry less about my mum
I liked having more time away from the house and it helped me cope better
It was a fun environment and I eventually stopped worrying about my family at home

- Stage 20: 28' 15" (actual), 26' 42" (prediction), 01' 33" fast (-5.49% error)
Tomorrow's final stage will be mostly ceremonial until the big sprinters go for the stage win once they are in Paris. Froome will probably be seen with some champaign and four fingers up (three in a row!). The last stage is always tough to predict because of the ceremonial nature of the stage. We've done well in the past by backing off on power. Our final prediction is given below.

About Nepal, Pokhara, Parahawking & Maya Devi – Not many people would regard Nepal as a tourist destination. However we found a recent 3 week trip there in January 2010 not only an amazing cultural experience but an extremely rewarding & soul cleansing one too.
Baring in mind that Nepal is a very poor country. Ranked as poor as the likes of Sudan, Ethiopia & Uganda. We were amazed to see a country of such beauty, friendship & generosity. A country land locked between China (Tibet) & India. Nepal provides a vast & wide ranging array of things to do & places to visit. From the splendour of Kathmandu's temples, Stupas & heritage sites to the Pokhara area with Mountain villages, Fewa lake & the lakeside district the tourist hub for trekking the Annapurna circuit and such like places.
In Pokhara we were based at Maya Devi Village about 5 minutes drive from Lakeside. It's a little hamlet of traditional style buildings along with a bar area. It's close by to the landing area on another big tourist draw to the area. Paragliding. Quite an experience when you come out of you accommodation the first few times to see dozens of paragliders swirling around over the lake & landing nearby!
It's also home to the Himalayan Rapture rescue centre. Run by Scott Mason. Scott not only rescues birds & tries to release them into the wild when not imprinted on by humans. He also cares for the ones which can't be released & spends hours a day looking after & exercising them. Scott also runs Parahawking. A business born out of the rescue centre where by he has taught some of the birds which can't be released to fly alongside his team of trained paraglider pilots & handlers whilst giving tandem flights to tourists & Raptor lovers.
We had the pleasure of doing a paragliding flight & parahawking flight. Both are an amazing experience! Although the Parahawking sensation of being guided by you pilot up to 2000m above sea level with these majestic birds of prey (Bob & Kevin) flying with you, landing on your glove, feeding and drifting off again is a unforgettable experience & real highlight of our time at Maya Devi Village.
Scott through both projects is raising awareness about the plight of Raptors in Nepal & India. As well as donating money from the flights & through other avenues to Bird conservation Nepal with the aim of setting up at Vulture safe Zone in the Pokhara area.
Vultures have seen a massive decline in numbers. The White Backed Vulture, The Slender Billed Vulture and the Long Billed Vulture have declined by a staggering 99.9% in the last 15 years. This is all down to a drug called "Diclofenac", an anti inflammatory drug which is administered to sick and dying livestock across Asia. Diclofenac is lethal to the Vultures, if the animal dies with Diclofenac in its system, vultures that feed from the animal carcass die from liver and kidney failure. It is killing them in their millions. It's a massive project, but having spent time with Scott we cans see its one he's very passionate about & committed to.
Out with Maya Devi, The tourist Lakeside area is the hub of all things paragliding, trekking & sightseeing. Here you can find numerous travel agencies providing easy 1-2 day hikes to full on 20+ days depending on your itinerary, time & experience.
Annapurna base camp is a very popular which can be done in about 10 days if you're based in Pokhara. Sleeping bags, equipment can all be hired here too; some companies provide you with the lot including guides, cooks & people to carry your stuff, all you have to do are the walking bit!! You can rough it & sleep under the stars or you can stay in very well appointed lodges. For longer treks which require more planning you should book in advance. The shorter ones run pretty much everyday. That said, most can accommodate a late addition.
Also on lakeside there are various offices for the different paragliding companies. Many looking after specific nationalities. Many are multipurpose offering not only trekking & paragliding but Mountain biking, Mountaineering, rafting, Nature treks & safaris too. The best British one we found was Himalayan frontiers. Easily findable on the main street. No language barrier, expertly run & well organised.
As you would expect Lakeside offers pretty much everything you need. Tourist shops to buy souvenirs, cafes, bars, restaurant & a couple of clubs. A favourite of ours being the chillybar. Also grocery shops, outdoor wear, laundry services & plenty of taxis. Tip for the taxis is settle on a price before you get in. They are pretty cheap anyway. Ask for a card from the driver if you feel comfortable with him following your 1st journey. We had a great guy Mikel, quick call & 10 minutes later he was there!
Finally a couple of general points. Tap water should not be drank. Always drink only bottled water that you can see the cap has not been tampered with. We did drink straight from the steams up in the mountains with no problem, but still not recommended! In the cities don't even thinks about it, not even for brushing your teeth with! Finally for much of the year the country has load shedding. Due to the lack of hydro power out with the dry season areas get divided up and can experience period of up to 7-8 twice daily without electricity. You hotel or accommodation will be able to give you a week in advance rota of when it will be off. Many have their own generators too but that's not always the case.
As you will see from Part 2 Siklis village, you don't need to worry about electricity up there! Look out for part 2 of our Nepal Travel adventure coming soon here on Girlie Gossip!

– Which of These Things is Not Like The Other? (Heresy)
I have to say in no uncertain terms that to deny the Messiahship of Jesus, IN THE FIRST coming, is completely unbiblical.
Messiah is Kingship. Messiah is also a person not just his place as king. He was to be the one to fight for and win Israels's peace.
Jesus directly told the woman at the well that he was the Messiah. Simon Peter's heaven sent "from the father" confession was this:
(Note that Both MESSIAH and SON OF GOD, are terms for the King of Israel in Psalm 2 – you will read the word "messiah" as "anointed one.")
He processed into the city of David on a donkey, amidst palm waving, and was robed in a kings garment of purple and wore a kings crown (thorns). The charge and complaint of the Jews was EXACTLY that Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, King of Israel. and was "exalted" (lifted up on the cross) under a sign in three languages that said, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews."
In FACT, the name "Christ" is Greek for "Messiah." His most common appelation in the epistles is "Jesus the Messiah."
His full and permanent earthly/heavenly reign has nothing to do with the question of whether he WAS ALREADY anointed to be KING.
David was anointed LONG before he ruled. He was already MESSIAH before he reigned. But, as soon as he was anointed, it was an obvious sin to fight against God's chosen servant.
Jesus directly claims messiahship several times, and his followers almost always refer to him in this way. Hagee says that Israel cannot be said to have rejected His Messiahship (anointing) because he never in any way ("word or deed") claimed to be Messiah.
This is either ignorance or a lie from Hagee, a man who should know better.
He DID claim it. And the DID reject him FOR EXACTLY the reason that HE CLAIMED TO BE MESSIAH.
Paul says that the GOSPEL is specifically that the resurrection and lineage from David prove Jesus to be Messiah (Romans 1.1-6).
For Paul, Belief that Jesus is already LORD/Son of David/Messiah [all Ps 2 and Ps 89 references), and is RAISED from the dead are the two prongs of the Gospel:
-Rom 1.1-6
1Paul, a servant of the MESSIAH Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for THE GOSPEL of God— 2 THE GOSPEL he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a DESCENDANT OF DAVID, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the SON OF GOD ["messiah" title in Ps 2 and in Ps 89] by his RESURRECTION from the dead: Jesus THE MESSIAH our Lord. 5 Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. 6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus the MESSIAH.
– 2 Timothy 2.8
Remember Jesus THE MESSIAH, RAISED from the dead, DESCENDED FROM DAVID. This is my gospel[.]
– Rom 10.9
That if you confess allegiance with your mouth, saying, "Jesus is LORD," and believe in your heart that God RAISED him from the dead, you will be saved.

I had a client approach me to refinish the bookcase custom to match an antique dresser I did for them almost exactly a year ago. Their vision for the piece was spot on and I set to work. I sanded, stained, and sealed the flame mahogany drawer fronts that had become faded and tired over the years, and painted the case in the deepest purple that leans heavily towards eggplant- I love love love this color- so unexpected and sophisticated!
We settled on a warm taupe for the interior to balance the eggplant of the exterior, and I sanded the teensy little inter drawers to match the exterior ones. I didn't distress the piece, but did seal it with dark wax.
|And here's the antique dresser that we matched


text:
The exterior layout of this place is enough to make you have a few more glance when you walk pass. Of course we did not just happen to walk pass. Reservation is strongly encourage if you do not want to miss out some good tapas!
I was blown away by the cover of the menu. Having a very eye catching and interesting food menu is definitely a plus point.
And here's another one.
Fresh Hamachi with Sesame, Soy Dressing and Black Caviar
I love this dish. The raw fish is so fresh and the soy dressing goes just right with it. And as you can see, they are very generous with the caviar too. And I thought that the price was really reasonable.
Price: $15
Buffalo Mozarella Cheese, Proscuitto Ham Topped with Truffle Mayo
The texture of the mozarella cheese is just right and it's of bite size chunks which makes it easier for consuming. The parma ham is thinly sliced but not too thin that you can't feel any thickness.
Price: $18
Poached Lobster Wrapped in Proscuitto Ham Doubled with Crispy Nori and Beancurd Skin
This dish is not in the main menu but in the menu of the shape of a vinyl record. Great combination of the crispy beancurd skin, seaweed, parma ham and lobster. I'm not too sure if this is in one of the permanent menu. But if you see this, order it!
Price: $25
We also ordered the Sweet Chili Crispy Chicken Thigh Marinated in Shrimp Sauce. However the hungry me must have forgotten to take an individual pic of it.
Price: $12
Address: 10 Coleman Street Grand Park City Hall #01-21/22
Food: 5/5 Burps
Service: 4/5 Burps

Cinderella Syndrome Symptom Depression
Cinderella doesn't realize that marriage is suppose to be about loving and doing what you can for your spouse, because happiness is the by-product of doing something that you enjoy with someone you enjoy it with. Old happily married couple share similar passions and respect each other.
Cinderella wants to do everything she likes, who wants things her own way and usually isn't getting it. She often feels inadequate and doesn't understand why she feels angry, powerless and out of control. She doesn't trust her own strengths because she depends upon others to make her happy and give her support. Some become vengeful and vindictive due to their short falls, neediness and low self-esteem. Her inferiority or illogic understanding that she doesn't deserve to be happy and all she has to look forward to the same ole grind…this is a prelude to depression.
She also has learned early in life that if she plays the "woe is me" card enough someone will pay attention to her...and maybe they will her bidding. She is using her weakness as a strength. This attitude known in some circles as "suffering pays" many Cinderellas learn to manipulate people to obtain pleasure, that they aren't even aware that they have developed this inner resource, it's second nature. This unhappy tendency often exasperates and discourages those that are trying to help her and give up on her. If she is aware that she does this she doesn't understand their self-destructive tendency and tends to feel guilty after they succeeded in getting their way by means of suffering and to relieve her guilt finds ways to get rid of this undeserved happiness before it's brought to her attention or the clock strikes twelve.
Sufferers tend to be depressed because of her unrealistic expectations and her belief that life is unfair. She has done nothing to deserve this negativity but has it anyway. If counseled she feels her negativity is often a response to her vulnerability from being neglected by family members. Counselors identity their anger at themselves for allowing this neglect to happen, as if they had the power as a child to prevent it. They have to learn to replace self doubt with an independent identity with self respect; in turn they can respect their spouse and the role they play in their lives, realistically.
Does your friend catch herself comparing herself unfavorably to other women who seem luckier that she is? Does she realize that this attitude only brings on feelings of anger at the unfairness of life and her own inferiority and inadequacy? She needs to stop feeling resentful and perceive herself as a worthwhile human being in spite of her faults and imperfections. When she feels in control of her life, their depression and anxiety are replaced with feelings of security, confidence, competence, identity, responsibility, belonging, and self-respect, which is the prerequisite for a successful marriage.

Hoping to get a quick overview of the interior of the island of Moorea, Gail and I joined the Island Drive and Belvedere tour on Friday morning.
|An air-conditioned bus!
Our first stop was Belvedere Lookout. We saw Mt. Rotui with Cook's Bay to the right
and Oponohu Bay on the left
and the famous Bali Hai (Moua Roa) Mountain.
We visited an ancient Tahitian stone temple, or marae
a pineapple field
|Baby pineapple.
|Our tour guide.
and many native plants.
|Candlestick plant.
|Lipstick fruit. Our tour guide crushed a berry and rubbed it into her lips. Beautiful!
|Pink hisbiscus.
Then we stopped at the Ia Ora lookout point for a panoramic photo op
before we made a brief stop at Le Petit Village for a bit of shopping before returning to the ship.
We showered and dressed for dinner and went to Paul Gauguin's Farewell Party.
By then, the MS Paul Gauguin was en route back to the island of Tahiti. That was when my tears started, and they continued at the Piano Bar, where I went for a drink before dinner and had to say goodbye to some of the great friends I made on board ship;
|Danny, Dan, Pam, Jim, J.R.
|Pianist Ruben Ramos.
|Melanie, Pam, Jay.
at L'Etoile Restaurant where I enjoyed one last great meal;
and back at the stateroom afterwards, as Gail and I packed the rest of our belongings and said goodbye to our wonderful cabin stewardess Annie Rose.
|Annie Rose and Pam, whose make-up is all cried off.
We disembarked the ship in Papeete 9PM, caught a taxi to the airport, went through customs, and boarded the plane bound for Los Angeles.
* * *
This vacation was a dream come true, but it was a dream I hadn't even dared to dream for myself, and one that I almost missed because of my narrow view of what was possible.
So if an experience like that can literally fall into my lap, who knows what other wonders lie waiting for me down the road if I will just keep my heart and mind open?
I am grateful for all the beautiful places I saw, for all the wonderful people I met, including the entire crew and staff of the MS Paul Gauguin, and especially to Gail for inviting me to be her guest.
I'm still trying to sort it all out. But there's one thing I know for sure.
Nothing will ever be the same.

Here's what I was up to in July…
The White Cat and the Monk by Jo Ellen Bogart, Sydney Smith [Picture Book]
A lovely picture book inspired by one of my favorite bits of actual history: the Irish monk who wrote a poem about his cat, comparing the cat's hunting to his own scholarly work.
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas [YA Fantasy]
More adventure, more magic, more romance. I started reading this series because they're so tremendously popular and I wanted to study what they were doing right, but the deeper I get the more I'm just enjoying the story. On the other hand, one particular plot point in this book left me very unhappy and uncomfortable in terms of the treatment of characters of color, even though it made sense storywise. I'm going to keep reading because I love a lot of the other elements of the series, but I want to make that comment here as a caveat to other readers.
Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E. K. Johnston [YA Contemporary]
An incredibly compelling (I could not stop reading) and ultimately uplifting book about a very painful topic. But I don't want to label this as an "issues" book because it's so much more than that. It made me care about cheerleading, It made me love these characters, and root for them living their lives, not just surviving a harrowing experience. I loved how it so thoughtfully and deftly explored aspects of personal choice, friendship, gender roles and expectations, and dealing with trauma.
Ms. Marvel, Vol. 5: Super Famous by G. Willow Wilson, Takeshi Miyazawa, Adrian Alphona, Nico Leon [YA Graphic Novel]
This series continues to be so delightful and rich and wonderful. I especially love how Kamala is having to balance all the different parts of her life; so often we see a character struggling with a bunch of responsibilities that they *don't* want, and ultimately the message is about not wasting time on things that aren't important to you. It was refreshing to see Kamala confronting the fact that she actually loves all her responsibilities and *wants* to say yes to everything, especially since that's more true to my own experience (both as a teen, and an adult). And bonus points for the wonderful way the series is handling Kamala's relationship with her long-time best friend who she loves but just can't be in a relationship with due to her superheroing. I love that we see him in a new relationship with an awesome, smart new girlfriend who isn't portrayed as the villain just because she's a sort of "rival", and see Kamala navigating that challenge and making mistakes and learning from them.
Jem and the Holograms, Volume 2: Viral by Kelly Thompson, Emma Vieceli, Corin Howell, Amy Mebberson, Maria Victoria Robado [YA Graphic Novel]
Delightful, rich and wonderful are good words for this volume too. My favorite bits are the Stormer-Kimber romance and the effervescent joy of the colorful art and seeing all these cool different female characters interacting with each other.
Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening by Marjorie Liu, Sana Takeda [Adult Graphic Novel]
I actually read this as individual issues but the collected Volume One is now available so I'm listing it here since it is an amazing work of art. A complex and multi-layered world and characters, swinging from pure beauty to harsh, gruesome horror. Unlike anything else I'm reading.
Saga, Volume 6 by Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples [Adult Graphic Novel]
Still wonderful! Everything else I can say is a spoiler!
Seveneves by Neal Stephenson [Adult Science Fiction]
I am a sucker for disaster movies, and this book is basically one big long disaster movie (or at least, the first two thirds are– the last third takes place 5000 years after the event) with a lot of bonus scientific digressions on orbital mechanics and space-station architecture. Which made is an excellent book for my tastes, though I suspect some readers may want to skim a bunch. It's also a tremendously thought-provoking book, and also one of the most harrowing books I've read recently. I rarely get nightmares from books but the overwhelming dread of the basic premise here really struck me hard: all life, all human civilization on the surface of the earth is going to be wiped out in the aftermath of the breakup of the moon. Humanity will survive in the form of a few thousand people sent into space who must then persist for 5000 years, at which point they'll need to reseed the Earth with life and recolonize it. This was a book that left me thinking, left me wanting to talk to other readers about the choices the characters made, the shape of the societies that endured, and so much else.
Stranger Things
This Netflix original series was even better than the talk online led me to expect: amazing story, perfect pacing, excellent acting, detailed, pitch-perfect 80s-era costumes/sets/music. We watched all eight episodes in three days, and I still wish there were more RIGHT NOW. I am so glad to hear there is a second season coming!
Editing to add: There was one element of the show that did bother me, which was the treatment of one particular female character, Barb (one of my favorites, possibly because she reminded me of myself) . I just had a friend share the link to this article that really pinpointed why Barb's story was problematic, and also explored some other critical commentary I found really interesting. Again, I did love the show and recommend it, but I would love it even more if it addresses the issues laid out in that article in Season 2!
I loved the new Ghostbusters! It had all the joy and humor and excitement I remember from the original, and I adore the new cast.

Movie Studios Claim That Google Fiber Leads To More Piracy
Even though any decent broadband connection will suffice for illegally sharing copyrighted movies and TV shows, at least two movie studios believe that the faster speeds offered by Google Fiber will result in billions of additional lost dollars for the entertainment industry.
This is according to a Warner Bros. and Sony report leaked to TorrentFreak. Researchers surveyed people in the Kansas City area — the first to get access to Google Fiber — and concluded that 31% of everyone in the market is already pirating video content.
Can that be true? That means that if you are in a room with two other people, one of you is illegally sharing content online. This figure just seems incredibly high to us, but let's just move forward under the assumption that it's right.

We've heard plenty about rugged and water resistant phones like the Motorola Defy, the Sony Xperia active and of course the Samsung Galaxy Xcover. This Samsung droid was water, dust and dirt resistant making it the complete package for heavy duty users. Sadly though, the market for rugged phones isn't as big as the companies would like which is why we usually don't stumble across a lot of these phones. However, Motorola thought it was a good idea to come up with a successor to the Defy with the Defy Plus and now it is Samsung which has come up with a successor to its Galaxy Xcover smartphone. This move was expected, but not this soon. We were originally expecting the Galaxy Xcover 2 to launch at the MWC later next month, if the leak last week was anything to go by. However, it's good news that the device is here so that we can finally get it out of the rumor mill. So what does the successor to the original Galaxy Xcover pack?
Samsung has vowed to make this an instant favorite for hardcore users like the most of us. True to its rugged exterior, the Galaxy Xcover 2 is dust resistant and can sustain water levels of up to 1 meter for 30 minutes without skipping a beat. What's even better is the fact that it is usable under water, now that's exactly what you need for your swimming sessions, right? Jokes aside, the Galaxy Xcover 2 is a pretty rugged device as evidenced by the images above. Sammy has spared no expense in making this device a looker at one glance. Powering the smartphone inside is a 1 GHz dual core processor (manufacturer not known), 1GB of RAM, 5MP camera sensor on the back and a decent 4-inch 480×800 resolution display. The rugged exterior means that the smartphone is a tad heavier than your average handset at 148.5 grams. Thankfully, Samsung has made sure Jelly Bean is running on the smartphone on top of the TouchWiz Nature UX of course. A 1,700 mAh battery powers the device up which Samsung calls "massive" for some strange reason. Either way, the Galaxy Xcover 2 has merely been shown off and there are no details on availability or price just yet. We're guessing Samsung wants to keep that for the MWC event next month in Barcelona.
As expected, the Galaxy Xcover 2 doesn't feature state-of-the-art hardware specifications, which is most probably to accommodate for the low price tag. Maybe manufacturers should take a leaf out of Sony's book and learn from what it has done with the Xperia Z, which is a water/dust resistant smartphone and a flagship device at the same time. There's no rule book anywhere which claims that rugged phones have to be low end or mid ranged, so I don't quite understand the logic behind low end rugged phones. Regardless, the Galaxy Xcover 2 will certainly appeal to a different set of audience and we will anxiously wait for more info on the device at the MWC next month. In the meantime, you can let us know what you think of the device by dropping a line below.

Southern CSOs at the UNFCCC COP12 Conference released a statement calling on developed countries to live up to their historical responsibilities and immediately cut emissions deeply, in addition to transferring finance and technology to the South as a part of an owed 'climate debt.'
The Statement calls on 'developing countries' to reject the development model used by the rich industrialized countries and to take on their 'fairshare' of the effort to confront the climate crisis.

I know this is not strictly a new topic but I would like to try and get an up to date answer, mid sentance when buying a tac magum it suddenly became "sold" to another when I mentioned I had checked the circuit diagrams and there was one chip I had never heard of and was a little concerned if I could not get these it would truly earn its name as a desk! Is it the God's honest truth that these SSM2016 so called wonder chips that were only produced specificaly for high end analogue mixers are no longer made and imposible to obtain and oh so easy to damage? oh and what about the SSM2402 "click free" FET switches?
P.S. how do I make the spell checker work?

5 ways to become a lovemark0
Summer intern Josh Stein weighs in on how brands transcend mere preference and enter the realm of being loved.
Some brands just do it right. Apple, Coca-Cola, Nike. They don't just sell a lot of product. They don't just make great ads and creative. They aren't just a brand. They're a lovemark.
Ever tried to convince an Apple user to try a PC? A Coke drinker to order a Pepsi? A Nike enthusiast to wear Adidas? It's impossible. And why? Because these brands have become loved. Through brilliant marketing, they've bred a crop of fiercely loyal, intensely emotional brand diehards. They've taken a product, an item, an object and transformed it into an experience, a self-statement, a fulfillment of self. They've inspired true love.
In a recent guest post at Top Rank Marketing, former Saatchi executive Brian Sheehan broke down how companies can achieve this enviable feat. His ideas can be boiled down to five key sticking points.
- Have a rallying cry – Loved brands have a rallying cry. Whether it's Apple breaking monotony or Dove helping you achieve your best self, loved brands rally their consumers around a single, powerful idea.
- Inspire people – Loved brands aren't just about selling. They aim higher. Loved brands inspire their consumers to seek more, whether it's with a lifestyle statement (Lenovo. For Those Who Do.) or a challenge (Lexus – The Pursuit of Perfection)
- Uncover the truth – Loved brands understand the truth of their consumers. They work tirelessly to find one key truth. They learn what matters most, and build their campaigns around that.
- Keep some mystery – Loved brands stay interesting. And mystery is intrigue. They maintain a constantly unfolding narrative that keeps consumers and brand admirers on the edge of their seat.
- Be intimate – Loved companies ask to enter your heart…not the other way around. Ritz-Carlton's tagline switch from "Stay with us" to "Let us stay with you" is a perfect example.
People inherently don't trust companies trying to sell them stuff. So elevate your brand and become loved. Which brands do you love and why?

The Tao of Management - 9. Nurturance by the small
Humility is definitely an important key to a successful Montessori classroom. The guide must practice humility and utilize discernment. Humility is a bridge used for the mutual respect between student and guide.
I heard a great story from a very well respected Montessori guide that has stuck with me for some time now. It includes a great math lesson as well as what I found to be a wonderful story about his humility. In this story I will call this guide J.
J was giving a math lesson and he asked his little group what was 96 x 5 eual too. The children were working it out as well as the guide and one child finished it amazingly quickly. Then the child asked, "J, what is taking you so long?" J said, "What do you mean? I am doing 90 x 5 which is 450 + 5x6, which is 30, then I added them and got 480."
The child then went on to say, " J you obviosuly did not go to a Montessori school because if you did then you would know a much faster way to do that problem." J laughed and said, " well, you are right, I did not go to a Montessori school as a child, I have only been teaching for about 40 years."
The child when on to say, "well, that is probably why you never figured out that all you have to do is multiply 96 x 10, which is obviously 960. Then take half of that and you get 480. In fact, anytime you multiply a number by five, all you have to do is multiply it by ten and then take half of it." J, then thought about it and figured out that the child was right. He then thanked him for sharing that with everyone. Later on, if I remember correctly that child got J a sign to hang up in his classroom. J got such a kick of out if that he did hang it up and this action of hanging up the sign just reflected how humble I felt he was when he shared the story. The quote says," Those who can-do, those who can't -teach, and those who can't teach - teach Montessori."
Some may find this quote offensive and on the one hand it might very well be offensive. However, J is a very good teacher and very well respected. It spoke volumes to me with which the humor that he found in all of this and the fact that he hung it up in his classroom.
I hope that this story encourages you to reflect on humility in the classroom and the role that it has with you and your children whether they be in the classroom or at home. I am grateful for being able hear this story first hand and for learning that little math trick.

Great post, Matthew! I wonder how many of the Elementary materials were shaped by the children over the years? My trainer told us that a 7-year-old child "invented" the "finger hopping" addition chart.

Oh, I remember that story!! Thanks for posting it, it's truly delightful. :)
I once had a four-year old finish the short 9-chain and tell me: "I finished the 81 chain". I told him (in all my righteousness, ugh): "Oh, you finished the 9-chain." And he replied: "No, it's the 81-chain. Because the gold one is called the hundred chain."
Humbled, indeed.

i literally made my husband buy this book for "the girls" ...but really for me
you can design outfits on these underwear clad sketches... i couldn't stop it was so much fun! they look kind of cheesy its true, but its such a breeze to draw exactly what i am thinking of on the figures that are waiting to be dressed...
my girls giggled hysterically
i told them how they were supposed to dress the girls in stylish outfits and they got to work... those girls needed clothes!
do you recognize that little cropped sweatshirt below? this fancy coloring book even helped me figure out where i wanted to crop it... the one on the right is my latest project, still a work in progress {all right fine, i haven't started it yet... i got distracted by a super ugly mens turtle neck that was meant to be a pencil skirt}
so fun right?! sadly i couldn't find the book online but i got in the bargain section at Borders for $5.... i need to buy one for each of my sisters cause i know they love to color!
a little bit of Ditz
did a full grocery run today...
with no debit card.
had to leave my cart and run home to get money.
i felt like a duffus.
that is all.

They've snuck into quite a few other hearts as well. My family of course - they love me when I make these. But others too...I taught a bread class last week and we made these. Everyone loved them. Also, my husband works with a group of young men ages 12-18 in our church. I make these quite often for them to enjoy after a long, hard bike ride or other strenuous activity. I've had some of those tough boys even come give me a hug over these rolls. Yep, they are heart-winners. This being Valentine's day coming up, you might want to try them out and see if you can win a few hearts as well. :)
Delicious Cornmeal Crescent Rolls
Printable Recipe
*Makes 2 dozen rolls
2 cups milk
2/3 cup yellow corn meal (I use freshly ground popcorn)
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
5 ½ – 6 cups flour (or the amount needed to get the correct texture - see explanation below in the directions)
1 ½ tablespoons instant yeast
1/4 Cup melted butter, for brushing on the rolls
On medium heat, heat the milk to just below a boil so bubbles are just appearing around the edges (this is called scalding milk). Add the cornmeal and cook and stir until thickened, lowering the temperature if needed so the mixture doesn't boil. Pour the cornmeal/milk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer (I use a Bosch). Cut up the butter into 4 or 5 pieces and add to the bowl. Then add the sugar, the salt and the eggs. Add 3 cups of the flour to the bowl and the yeast on top of the flour. Turn on the mixer to a low speed and mix well until combined. Add the flour gradually until dough barely starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Turn up the speed of the mixer (I usually do a 3 or 4 speed) and mix for 6 minutes.
Divide the dough into three pieces and roll each into about an 8-10 inch circle. Brush the top lightly with butter. Cut into 8 wedges and roll each wedge up starting from the wide end so it forms a crescent roll shape. Place each roll on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover lightly with greased plastic wrap or a thin dishtowel. Let the rolls rise until doubled (about 30-45 minutes). In the winter I sometimes warm up my oven just barely and let them rise in there a little more quickly.

After a wonderful presentation for this past September's New York Fashion Week, Nomia is definitely on the fashion scene. Originally known for her dresses, the designer Yara Flinn has expanded to create lines that are all her own. Her designs are simple and clean, but always have a little something that adds both sophistication and edge, which is difficult to create as the two do not often go hand-in-hand. Nonetheless, Nomia can be found at select stores across the U.S. in addition to shops overseas. Have a closer look with designer Flinn to see why.
Where does Nomia come from?
Nomia came to be as I was trying to figure out the next stage in my life after my work at Prada's art foundation. I had been applying to a few schools for MFA programs but they weren't working out so I decided to pursue fashion as it had always been a parallel interest of mine along my art work.
What do you feel are your definite strengths as a designer?
I think my strengths as a designer are really understanding a woman's body, what parts of our bodies we are comfortable and not as comfortable showing. It's also very important to me to create pieces that are timeless and modern at the same time, but never trendy. I always hope that pieces from one season can be blended seamlessly with pieces from another season- it's a continuation of a thought more than a complete reinvention.
What kind of styles move you when it comes to the creative process?
I have always been very drawn to 90s minimalism, Helmut Lang, Calvin Klein, very pared down, streamlined silhouettes with subtle details.
Describe your clientele for me.
I have found that I actually have an extremely varied clientele which makes me very happy . I hope to define my customer by her culture, personality and lifestyle rather than her age or financial demographic. I'd say that my client is someone who enjoys life, art and music more than shopping or collecting clothes.
How has the fashion industry changed since you first began designing clothes?
I think when I started designing the general aura was a bit sexier and flashier than it is now. I think the economic climate has women wanting to buy something unique, and beautiful, but also very versatile, hence the shift towards more minimalist separates than just cocktail dresses. I am still known primarily for my dresses, but they are most often pieces that can be worn many times, and styled in many different ways.
So where can we find Nomia pieces for sale?
Currently in New York, Creatures of Comfort, Honey in the Rough, Steven Alan, shopbop.com, Joan Shepp, The Tannery, among others...
You sell garments overseas in Hong Kong and Australia. Any plans for other sales abroad?
I would love to sell in Europe, especially London, as I feel that they have an appreciation for newer designers rather than more established brands. I would also like to explore the market in Brazil, since my mother is from there and I am starting to see a desire for more luxury goods due to their robust economy. Hopefully soon they will be looking for harder to find, newer designers.
I am absolutely in love with NS1109 Mesh sleeve overlay dress, NF1122 Chiffon draped overlay, and NF1124 Washed Cupro detached shoulder dress. Where did you get inspiration for these pieces?
Thank you! The Spring collection was inspired by basketball...loosely. The dress NS1109 with the mesh sleeve was kind of a play on an arm brace, the other pieces are from the FW11 collection which was inspired by Japanese armor, so they were very symmetrical, structured and graphic. My inspiration is never literal, it's mostly just a reference point for me to start designing.
So tell me about your experiences with this past season's New York Fashion Week presentation? What are some of the advantages that come along with showing your latest collections at fashion week?
Fashion week is always a very stressful and exciting time, but I couldn't really imagine not having some sort of presentation or show. It's so satisfying to see the clothes you have been working on in a studio really come alive and move. The advantages of having a show are the chance to collaborate with a production team, stylist, casting director, music producer and everyone else you need to materialize a successful fashion show. The other, more obvious, advantages are press related - I've found that more people have been exposed to my work because of the shows.
What's next in terms of future designs?
This past SS12 I worked almost exclusively in color, which is something I hadn't really done before. Usually I had one statement color in a collection of mostly neutrals, but I'm becoming very interested in color combinations and the ways they can play off of each other.
If you had to pick a celebrity to be the face of the Nomia brand, who do you think best represents the Nomia woman?
I think many people would probably pick her as well, but I would have to say Tilda Swinton; she is alluring, confident and has a very strong sense of style.

Green Gone To Arizona
Shawn Green and the Diamondbacks have agreed to a 3-year, $30M deal, according to the AP.
ESPN, fix your fargin' website.
Update: on dodgers.com, $32M/3 years, with a fourth-year option for $8M. Also, the two throw-in pitching prospects have been named:
- Dan Muegge, a former University of Texas pitcher. The highest level he's played at is single-A, with a 14-4 record, and a 3.12 ERA. His peripherals, 6.12 K/9 and 2.48 K/BB, show a pitcher with mediocre stuff. The Midwest League is generally a pitcher's league, and South Bend is the third-best pitcher's park in the league.
- Beltran Perez, a name that sounds like he's trying to get into the majors by adopting the last name of as many free agents as possible, had a 4.41 ERA with a 2-6 record in AA El Paso, in the best hitter's park in a hitter's league. As with Muegge, a 6.66 K/9 and and 1.66 K/BB don't speak highly of his abilities at this level.
Now let's see: will Plaschke, Simers et al. blame DePo and the Parking Lot Owner for (a) spending too much on Lowe; (b) not spending enough on Beltre; (c) letting a fan favorite like Green go; (d) giving the D'Backs too much money for unproven prospects; (e) all of the above. It seems to me that DePo's trade of the Heart of the Team (tm) last year was a gutsy gamble, and even tho Penny got hurt, he is committed to seeing if Choi fulfills the promise that two other teams saw in him, and to shore up the rotation that was not ready for prime time. I see LA totally competitive with the Geritol Generation up north, and think the print media should give DePo a break. Time enough in June if we are ten games behind.
And yet, here we are five weeks or less from spring training with no signed coaching staff. Tommy Hawkins quit because no one contacted him about a new contract.
Rumour has it that the Dodger front office is in turmoil with no clear direction and a severe lack of communication.
Who has the reins????

AHB -- I submit: if they had, how would you know?
AHB -- I submit: if they had, how would you know?
Don -- I certainly understand the reasoning behind the Green trade -- he's overpriced and redundant, and the team needs pitching more than Green's risky bat. However, Choi remains in my mind an even bigger gamble. This will be the first season anywhere where he's ever been required to carry his position offensively. To say that I'm not concerned would be incorrect, but DePo's a smart guy -- generally -- and while I don't always agree with his moves, I do think he's at least coherently shifting the Dodgers to the kind of team he wants (higher OBP, revamped pitching, younger, younger, younger).

Mercury (communication, ideas, thinking, siblings) moves into organized and clear-headed Virgo today. Mercury rules Virgo and is uber-happy to be in his/her own sign after blasting through bombastic Leo.
Since Mercury will station retrograde during his stay in Virgo, this will be a good long chunk of time for us to tend to the details of whatever we have going on.
For the next few weeks our thinking will be more analytical. Conversations will be to the point. We will want the facts. Other people will want the facts from us. The numbers will have to balance out. Practical thinking matters. Mistakes will be noticed, so double check language, spelling, grammar, etc (I need to triple check because I always double check and still find errors in these posts!).
We will need to put on our magnifying glasses because if we don't see that missed punctuation mark, mathematical error, problem we have glossed over or unsubstantiated fact we are spouting - there is a very good chance someone else will.
The shadow of Virgo is self-criticism (and criticism of everyone and everything) and self doubt - setting too high a standard. Perfectionism. Nothing is ever good enough and sometimes things don't get finished so we don't have to be judged and come up short. Since Virgo energy - and we all have Virgo somewhere in our charts - is one of the ways we learn to love ourselves unconditionally, we are pretty much guaranteed to miss something and make mistakes now and then.
We really can figure out and work with the things that need improvement without beating ourselves up when we come up short.
If we have been searching for a solution - this is great energy to nail one down!
Bottom line - it's time to get our sh*t together.
This is a good time to start/reactivate a mindfulness practice. Slow down. Think about what we are doing - ie I am doing the dishes, this water is warm and soapy, these dishes are cool, the sun is shining through the window, etc. There is so much wisdom encoded inside each one of us that gets bypassed when our lives get too noisy.
Mercury will soon be retrograde.
He is walking a path RIGHT NOW (started yesterday) that he will re-walk two more times. This means it is time to pay attention to what is going on in our Virgo/Leo houses because this is the stuff we will be going back over. When he turns direct on September 5th we will be sinking or swimming.
So what is happening now? Yesterday? Today? What are we working with - what are we in the middle of? What is just beginning? What is falling apart?
We are all aching to turn the world around. The collective world and our own personal worlds have reached an impasse with something. Everyone is dealing with their own intractable situation and at the same time we are all dealing with the world's problems that seem insurmountable.
Lots of stuff is about to get shaken up. Have I said recently - the eclipses are coming?!
For today, with Saturn sitting across from Venus and Venus about to confront Chiron next weekend, it is easy to get all mired in our own victim stories and focus on what isn't working. It would be better to step into our own Saturn now (responsibility) and find a way to bring love, balance and kindness (Venus) to someone else .... remember our collective North Node is in Leo - we need to be following our heart. We could start by loving what is right in front of us. xo

t is unlikely that the world will come to a legally binding agreement on climate change at the upcoming United Nations climate summit due in Durban, South Africa, at the end of this month, said Minister for Environment and Water Resources Vivian Balakrishnan.
'There isn't the political will or financial resources to make such a deal (at this stage),' he told the opening ceremony of the Clean Energy Expo Asia on Tuesday.
Still, it is important that government and companies that make multi-billion decisions in energy investments to understand that their decisions will have long-term implications, he added.
Policymakers, in particular, need to have rational policies in place for the long term such that countries are well prepared for a future that will see diminishing energy resources even as demand for energy spikes on the back of the world population hitting 7 billion.More
