Reflections on a Blood Bath
by Linda Rex
It's always distressing to me to hear about another massacre of innocent human beings, and this week's event in Orlando was no different. How can we, after all we have received of the grace of God, still turn on one another and steal the life God has given and redeemed? The inhumanity, or shall I say insanity, of such an act is beyond comprehension. I hope and pray this event will not end up trivialized like all the others, and just boiled down into a political or religious statement about gun control, human rights or the moral depravity of humanity.
For all the people who had to arrange and attend a funeral for someone dear to them, this is so much more than that. Such unnecessary and horrific loss! To have one's world so violently rearranged by someone else creates such unimaginable pain and anger.
Unfortunately, this is not an unusual happening nowadays. It is still somehow so deeply engrained in our humanity to participate in the evil one's kingdom in which he comes to kill, steal and destroy. Even our ideologies can be at fault when it comes to the taking of other human lives. But we must go deeper even than that.
We can blame radical Islam for this event, but if we were truly honest with ourselves, we would have to admit, that were the situation right, we could do exactly what this man did. Each of us has the capacity to commit horrific acts of evil, because each of us, at our core, is broken. Each of us has our own demons which we fight. None of us is truly innocent.
As Christians, or even as humans of any creed or belief, we need to be really careful not to assume we do not possess the capacity for evil. Too many people have been hurt and crushed by the infidelity or abuse of someone who claimed to be a Christian. History is full of stories of people who said they were godly men or women, but who turned out to be truly evil at their core.
This morning I looked to see how often the word kill was used in the Bible. The Old Testament is full of stories where people killed one another. Yes, sometimes even God allowed or encouraged it, due to the circumstances involved. But this capacity to turn as one human against another began with Cain and has not ceased since.
As I continued to look at the use of the word kill, I noticed there was a change when it came to the gospels. In the gospels, we see Jesus talking about how the Jewish people killed their prophets and telling his disciples the Jewish authorities would kill him too. We see Jesus telling his followers not to fear people who can and will take their life, but to fear, or respect, the God who gives and takes away life. Jesus stressed giving one's life, not taking one's life away. He laid down his life for each of us, and calls for us to do the same.
It is instructive that the Jewish leaders of the day worked very hard to be pious, good people, well-respected by others. But their piety was demonstrated by their determined effort to put Jesus to death. The man Saul, who we know as the apostle Paul in his later years and who held the clothes of Stephen as he was martyred, was a clear illustration of this reality. His effort to be God-fearing resulted in his participating in the death of an innocent man, and the killing and imprisoning of many other people in the early church.
The expansion of the early church into the Roman culture came about not because the believers threatened to kill people who weren't followers of the Way, but because they willingly laid down their lives for the sake of Jesus. It was through their suffering, loss and death that the early Christians impacted the culture around them. Great change came about because of their willingness to suffer and die rather than give up their relationship with Jesus Christ and the blessing of life in the Spirit.
We need to understand the difference between living by a law or moral code, and living and walking in the Spirit while following Jesus. Paul said when talking about the new covenant in Jesus Christ that "the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." (2 Cor 3:6) When we are living and walking in our flesh according to some form of ideology, or some moral code, it is easy to justify killing and destroying another human being. But when we are living and walking in the Spirit, participating in the life of Jesus, we have the desire and capacity to give life rather than take it, and may find within ourselves the capacity to lay down our life for another human being who could even be our enemy.
We see the life-giving Spirit of Christ at work in many places and ways in the world. I see the Spirit at work in the hearts and lives of the parents who so faithfully and diligently minister daily to an autistic or disabled child. I see the Spirit of Christ at work in our community as people work to bring about peaceful resolutions to difficult problems. I see the Spirit of Christ at work in the life of the person who works to care for and studies the environment and the wildlife in exotic locations in the world, and in the life of the one who cares enough about the animals in their neighborhood that they make sure they each have safe homes and good health care.
This is the new covenant life Jesus bought for us with his blood shed on the cross and which he made available to us in the gift of his Spirit. We are bathed in his crimson flood so that we can have real life instead of our natural manner of life which so often leads to death. Why should we continue to live life on our own terms when we have been offered something so much better?
In the taking of the Eucharist, in our sharing through the wine and bread of the body and blood of Jesus, we are reminded as Christ wished us to be, that he stands in our place. It is his life, his death, his resurrection, and his life eternal in his glorified humanity which is ours. We are awakened again to the Spirit poured out on us, alive within us, and are renewed in our capacity to share in the divine life and love, even now in the daily ins and outs of life. It is Christ in us by the Spirit who enables us to love the unlovely, forgive the unforgiveable, and to lay down our lives for those who do not deserve it.
Such suffering as is incurred in the terrorist attacks we are witnessing is not going unnoticed. Such destruction and death will not be ignored. It is a violation of the Spirit of life in Christ which we have been given. And Christ promised never to leave or forsake his children—he is here with us in the midst of our pain and suffering and death, and inhumanity of human to human. He grieves and weeps with us, he endures suffering with us, and is hurt and angered by what we do to one another.
But this is also why he came and took upon himself the whole injustice and evil of humanity. This is why he allowed the pious Jews of his day to torture him and crucify him. So every time something like these horrific events happens, we are not alone. He has joined himself to us in our sin and suffering, and has made us one with himself, so we are and can become something we would not otherwise be.
In Jesus we have the hope that evil does not have the last word, and one day will be fully eradicated from our humanity. In the gift of the Spirit, we see Jesus beginning to work his kingdom life out in our world today in the midst of its brokenness. May God grant us the grace to walk by faith, not by sight, looking beyond this broken world and our broken humanity into the true reality purchased for us by the Son of God and made possible for us in the gift of his Holy Spirit.
Dear God, forgive us for all the horrible things we do to ourselves and to one another. Thank you for joining with us in the midst of our brokenness and evil, and raising us up to life with you in Christ and by your Spirit. Please finish what you have begun—do not give up on us. You know how desperately we need you to transform and heal us and our world. May your kingdom come and your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven, through Jesus and by your Spirit. Amen.
"I know that you are Abraham's descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father." They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham. But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do." John 8:37–40 NASB
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:10 NASB
Leaving Behind the Ignorance of Prejudice
by Linda Rex
Yesterday I was watching with interest the speech given by Pope Francis to Congress. I was impressed by his finesse in taking the stories of four Americans and drawing from them positive principles by which our leaders and our people could move forward into the uncertain future.
As he was speaking, someone said to me, "Well, there's our enemy." It took me aback for a moment, but then I remembered how for centuries some Protestants have seen the pope and the Roman Catholic church as being exactly that—as being the anti-Christ spoken about in the Bible. Of course, this requires a misinterpretation of Scripture, but it has been assumed to be true by many and is still believed to be so by some today.
I'm a little ashamed to say today that I used to be one of those people who believed the pope and the Roman Catholic Church were the enemy of all that is truly Christian. This was born out of ignorance and false teaching I had adopted as a child. But God was not content to leave me in my ignorance.
One of the first things he did was to place me in a relationship in high school where I grew to know and respect a teen who was the daughter of Polish immigrants. She had attended Catholic school in her youth and was a devout believer. She had a crucifix on the door to her room and she would cross herself every time she passed it to go in and out. I saw a devotion to Christ that was different from mine but equally, or perhaps even more, genuine. Although I had other friends in school who were Catholic, she left an impression on me that was not easily forgotten.
As time passed, I had a family member who married someone who was Catholic. I still remember the beautiful ceremony in her church. I could feel the presence and power of God there in a way that amazed me. The song that invited the believers to communion with Christ was inspiring and captured my heart. God was slowly and surely destroying the arrogance in me that kept me believing my faith was superior to and more real than these Catholic believers.
In the years since then, God placed me in the position of coming to know more and more people of the Catholic faith. Many of them were devout, and some were actively pursuing a relationship with Jesus Christ. Sure, there were an equal number who were merely nominal Christians, whose faith was just something they adopted as part of their family heritage. But what God did over the years was to bring me to a repentance, a change in my mind and heart and in my beliefs, about the Roman Catholic Church and its followers.
The way God changed my mind and heart was by placing me in relationships with people in which I was forced to reevaluate what I believed and why I believed it. I could have been stubborn and refused to acknowledge and repent of my prejudice. But my personal integrity would not allow me to do that. The truth was—I was wrong—and I needed to admit it and change accordingly.
I have found as time has gone by that God keeps me in a continual state of needing to reevaluate, repent and change when it comes to what I believe about certain people, their beliefs and cultures.
Technology is making our world smaller by bringing together people and cultures that would probably otherwise never interact. We are being forced to build relationships with people of all faiths and political, economic backgrounds. We are being forced to reevaluate what we believe about them and how we should interact with them.
This is actually a good thing. Because one day, in our future, lies a time when all peoples of all nations and all cultures will be joined together in a world that has no political, religious, cultural boundaries. In this place, what will matter most will not be what clothes we wear, how much money we make, or what kind of foods we prefer to eat. Rather what will really matter will be our relationships with one another and with God. What will really count is how well we love and care for one another.
This is why Jesus said, "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness…" To have these heavenly values is more important than seeking the earthly values that are transitory and passing. We look beyond the human designations that separate us into the heavenly qualities that unite us. We are all one in Jesus Christ—he is our humanity—our unity, our equality, our diversity. He joins us together in such a way that all these other things we count as important become truly insignificant in the long run.
Our challenge is to remain in an attitude of a willingness to see and admit to our prejudices, and to consciously make an effort to change when we see we are wrong. When we respond to the work of the Holy Spirit as he brings us together with others we may feel uncomfortable with, we will find an amazing harmony and healing that can only be explained as divine.
God wants his children to be joined together with him in Christ, and when we respond to that, miracles happen in our relationships. We experience his divine life and love in a multitude of ways as we yield to the Spirit's work to bind us all together as one in Christ. May we always respond in faithful obedience to him.
Thank you, God, for the amazing ways you bring healing and restoration in our broken relationships. Grant each of us the heart and mind to repent of our prejudices and to open ourselves to making room for others in the divine fellowship. We have so far to go! May we always turn to you for the love and grace we need so that we may love and forgive others. In Jesus' name and by your Spirit. Amen.
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33 NASB

Richard Roflow
Schoodic Point
Gouache, 13 x 20
Maine painter Richard Roflow loves to paint the intimate details of the landscape that he encounters on near his home and studio on Deer Isle, as well as the iconic images of Acadia National Park. He came by his love of painting nature early in life, though his formal education was at the Cincinnati Art Academy in the 1950's.
Now over 50 years later most of his paintings are inspired by the drama of the Maine coast and coastal weather. "He rarely paints on a sunny day. It's always misty, foggy, and dramatic. He paints those days that Mainers know as being a Maine day," said Barbara Entzminger, whose Bar Harbor Birdnest Gallery exhibited many of Roflow's paintings in years past. "I consider myself a light painter. I try to paint the light I see and how it creates distances," Roflow said, explaining the prominence given to plays of light in his compositions.
Roflow, a two-time winner in the National Park Academy of the Arts competition, Arts for the Parks was recently honored as the Maine artist featured in the Presidential suite of the Bar Harbor Regency reserved for President Obama and his family for their visit in July, 2010.

He painted almost every day of his life with fellow artists in the fields, along the streams and beaches and in the mountains in and around New England. Although the artist traveled throughout the world, Paris made little impression on him. He was American through-and-through.
Bernard Corey was the "last of the old school" of traditional New England landscape painters. When he died early in 2000, the era when artists painted for ten hours a day, every day with competency came to an end. Corey's carefully painted impressionistic plein aire canvases captured the essence of nature in all four seasons. The Rockport Art Association gave Corey a retrospective exhibition (October-November 2000) saluting the artist's profound understanding of nature and painting.

Winter Stream
Oil on canvas, 20 x 24 in
Born in 1896 the son of renowned tonalist painter Charles Paul Gruppe, Emile Gruppe became one of the 20th century's masters of New England seascapes and landscapes. In addition to being raised by an artistic father, he was also educated in art at The Hague in the Netherlands and in New York City at the National Academy of Design and The Arts Students League. He also received instruction from artists George Bridgeman, Charles Chapman, Richard Miller and John F. Carlson. Throughout his career Gruppé exhibited at the major national annuals, including those of the National Academy of Design, where he made his debut in 1915. His paintings were also shown at the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, the North Shore Art Association, the Rockport Art Association, where they won numerous awards and prizes. In 1942, he founded the Gruppe Summer School in Gloucester with his mentors.
Gruppe painted numerous works throughout his long artistic career, as many as 200 hundred oils a year. He is best known for his impressionistic landscapes of Vermont, painted figures and portraits, and especially for his Gloucester and Rockport harbor and village scenes. For the majority of his professional career, he worked and lived in Gloucester, Massachusetts, often wintering in Vermont and Florida.
During this time, Gruppé adopted a more direct and personal mode of painting in which he combined a dynamic brand of Realism with the light and atmospheric concerns of Impressionism. This later work is sought after for its distinctive, vigorous brushwork, compositional qualities and refined color values. Gruppe lived a long and prolific life, passionate about his art and about sharing the joys and skills of visual creativity with future generations. In one of his last interviews he revealed his philosophy of painting: "If you want exacting details in a painting, than you might as well look at a photograph. I make an impression on a canvas, and let one's imagination fill in the details." He died in 1978 at the age of 82 after a lifetime of painting.
Gruppe's works can be found in the Richmond Art Museum, the Hickory Museum of Art, Springville Museum of Art, Whistler House Museum of Art, and more. His works are now highly collectible and have brought dramatic prices near $60,000 at auction.

Known as "the Painter of Snow," Walter Koeniger was the son of an architect, born in Germany on May 6, 1881. From architecture, Walter turned to painting, while still in Germany. He studied under Eugene Gustav Dücker (1841-1916) and Eduard Karl Franz Gebhardt (1838-1925) at the Düsseldorf Academy. Dücker studied at the Imperial Art Academy of St. Petersburg and was influenced by Russian realism. Around 1912, Koeniger settled in Woodstock, New York, where he abandoned Dücker's crisp, photographic realism for a more painterly, expressive technique. He concentrated on capturing the fleeting moods of nature during a period when the winter scene genre was rapidly rising in popularity.
Koeniger focused on views of the Catskill Mountains and wooded areas around Woodstock and Saugerties. He painted in broad, large strokes, rendering brilliant sunlight and glowing color harmonies, soft gradations of color in the sky, streams and forests. For G. Frank Muller (1925), Koeniger attempted "to convey to the beholder the rapture he experiences before nature at her best. Koeniger seizes the delight of woodland beauties and passes it on for our enjoyment." Reportedly, Koeniger would delay the completion of a painting until the setting sun would add the proper tint of orange to the scene.
Vose Galleries featured Koeniger's works in December of 1926. That year he began to exhibit his landscapes at the National Academy of Design where he returned in 1929, 1930, and 1931. His activities at Woodstock (where he died in 1943) are not well known; apparently he was not involved with the artists' colony there. Koeniger was a member of the Salmagundi Club.

He first earned public attention in 1914 when one of his pieces was shown at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC. During the 1920s, he exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Brooklyn Museum.

The Rockport Art Association gave Corey a retrospective exhibition (October-November 2000) saluting the artist's profound understanding of nature and painting.

Marosan was first recognized for his modernist drawings of the Hungarian Revolution which he experienced first hand in 1956. Not long after emigrating to Canada in 1957, the Globe and Mail's influential Art Critic, Pearl McCarthy, cited Marosan as one of the leading abstract painters in Europe at that time and felt that his work was some of the best she had seen in years. Marosan's artwork is in the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, the Fine Arts Museum in Budapest, the City of Vienna collection, The Hague, the Chiltem Gallery in London, England, the Medal Museum in Brussels and the National Archives of Canada.

|Russian Ukraine Kharkov
young boy
My name's Vladimir Chursin.
I live and work in Kharkov (Ukraine).
When I was in school I took an interest in technics and this world of artists and musicians was completely far from me.
I entered Kharkov Institute of Radio Electronics (KIRE) in 1979. After finishing course of the institute I went to work and was engaged to development of radio-electronic circuits. The first metamorphosis happened in 1996. I have wanted to paint.
I started to draw in water-color and pencil.
Then I graduated from Popular University of Kharkov State Academy of Design and Arts with degree of an artist.
And now almost all of my art works are in oil.
I took part in collective art exhibitions in Kharkov.
Personal exhibition was made at Maestro gallery (Kharkov) from January 30th to February 12th, 2007.
The second metamorphosis. After half a year of painting I had the sensation of ability for writing music.
Just a wish of playing will take me nowhere, but creation of music...
I played the piano in childhood without great wish.
Those musical compositions didn't like me and I said after finishing school: "Never!" (remember "Never say never again")
So I've got two music albums so far.
Is that all? No. Evolution is permanent state, if not, life forces.
to be continued... absolutely!

We've had a fairly quiet week here. Lottie has been trying to change her nap routine and so we've been stuck at home a fair bit while she decides when exactly she'd like to sleep, bless her. All that and the last few days, she has gone back to the exact routine she was in to start with. I think she just likes mixing things up a bit to keep me on my toes!
Away day: I took my dad to hospital one day this week and Lottie went to my best friend's house. She was as good as gold, had a nap, ate lunch and cuddled all morning. So proud.
A night out: I went out. Like really out! My sister and I were going to go for dinner, then see Bridget Jones, but we ended up nattering too much and missing the film. But it didn't matter a bit. It was so nice to be out, lovely food, and great to have a bit of time out with my sister.
Furniture surfing: Lottie is on the move. She is totally obsessed with climbing the furniture and walking while holding onto your hands. It's like an obsession and she's so proud of herself when she gets up.
New bracelet: My ex-colleagues have been trying to organise a lunch for ages and I have just been too busy, so this week, they sent me a leaving present – a gorgeous Links of London bracelet. So kind – I absolutely love it and it really cheered me up.
Cousin time: It was really nice to see my sister again today, this time with my niece. After lunch, her and Lottie had a lovely time at the park together. So lovely to see them play together.

Marlborough District Brass Band concertReviewed by Tessa Parker
The Variety Bandbox concert by the Marlborough District Brass Band was a potpourri of musical entertainment. It was more like Pandora's Box, because you never really knew what was coming next and it was certainly full of surprises!
From the opening curtain, we were enthralled with swirling mists, a caped Phantom of the Opera playing on a wonderfully constructed organ, smoothly moving staging, subtle lighting and classy dressing by the band, redolent of times gone by when women reveled in the femininity of ball gowns and men looked equally grand in tails and bow ties. It was a great opening!
Conductor Kevin Moseley said this concert was like getting married, with something borrowed, something blue, something old and something new. There was something new in the introduction of four sopranos who sang along with the band at times, adding another dimension to much of the music. The sopranos were Hillary Ellena, Brenda Davey, Pat Parkinson and Neroli Vallance.
From good old band classics to a delightful Strauss cocktail, a hauntingly beautiful rendition of Annie Laurie, by Riki MacDonnell, turned into a beautiful instrumental duet when Kevin joined in and the Marlborough Girls' and Boys' college choirs stirred our musical senses with their singing. It is always great to see young ones in the band and the choirs.
Other young ones performing were Hugh Mack on violin and Sam Logan on guitar, playing a superb accompaniment for Jacinta Nott as she sang a lovely arrangement of Over the Rainbow.
Variety abounded with Borodin's Polostvian Dances, Tales of Hoffman, Ravel's Bolero, bagpipes and humorous situations played to the max, but always spot on and never missing a musical beat, so to speak. Even a change of conductor as Nicola Moynihan took over her father's baton, while he sang along with several others in a My Fair Lady medley.
One can truly say there was an abundance of flair, fun and fine playing. But space doesn't allow a mention of everything and everyone. Suffice to day, it was a concert to delight one and all and those who were unable to attend missed out on a very special musical treat.Top

Go Outside is the biggest outdoor magazine on the planet. It's side by side with those who practice outdoor sports and adventure trips. But there's something else present in these people's lives too: mosquitoes. Until now, this was how we helped with this annoying problem. But we wanted to do more. How? By turning your radio into a mosquito repellent. This is how it works: Along with the regular radio station broadcast. It was transmitted for the very first time, an audio signal of 15khz. Undetectable by the human ear. Studies have shown that this frequency imitates the sound of a dragonfly, the mosquito's natural predator, thus keeping them away.
The idea, sponsored by Go Outside, was broadcast for 3 weeks during the musical programming of Band FM radio station, from 6pm to 8pm, a time period with the greatest incidence of bites. More than 3 million radio sets received this signal. More than 3 million radios were turned into repellents. Go Outside Repellent Radio.
Turning a radio into a mosquito repellent: An idea that sounds like music to our readers ears.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'guest bedroom' tag.
Since the home repair whirlwind this spring, Matt and I took a break from all things house in order to hang with my family when they were vacationing in Florida, travel back home for a wedding and wedding shower, and just simply take a breather. And now that I've finally washed all the paint off of my fingernails, I'm ready to get back into the swing of home repair/decorating. We've also settled down a bit from all our travel and general busyness of life. So, it's time put my paintin' clothes back on and get to work around here!
But, before we break out the paint, I completed a little guest bedroom decor project this week. Matt was out of town for training and whenever he leaves town, I complete a project. I think that I'm self consciously trying to tell him that I am self sufficient and that I can make decisions on my own! So, when you last saw the guest bedroom, we had just painted it. The walls, although nicer yellow that bright pink, were bare. They needed some life. Enter Pottery Barn. Pottery Barn catalogs are like design magazines to me. I go through the pages and tear out decor ideas I like and want to imitate. Here's the most recent one:
Isn't it fabulous? I've wanted to do a photo frame collage ever since I saw this. And the wall in the guest bedroom is the perfect place for one! Here's how I completed the frame collage.
1. Frame Colors – Figure out the frame colors you want to use. Since the bed in this room is black and the bedspread is white, I decided to go with black and white (creative, eh?). The great thing about most frames is that they are very spray-paintable. I had a few that were not black or white, but I was able to paint them to make them fit in with the rest of the frames.
2. Gathering Frames – Buy frames in the colors you desire (or just by frames with designs or shapes you like and paint them!). Thrift stores are an excellent place to find super cheap frames. They usually sell the frames for a dollar or less. I had a bunch of frames hanging around, a couple that needed to be painted, and I also bought a few at Target and Wal-Mart. I used an array of sizes and designs to give the collage more diversity. But, in general, you want more medium to small pictures than you do large ones.
3. Arranging Frames – Next, arrange the frames somewhere where they can be easily moved around. I laid out frames on the guest bed. This is the tricky part, figuring out how to arrange the frames so that it looks like a collage. I started with a large frame in the center and worked around it, adding different size frames about the same distance apart (about 2 inches) all around the larger one. Then I just kept adding frames, rearranging them, trying to make the frames I had work together.
4. Take a Picture – Once I was satisfied with the arrangement I had, I took a picture of the set-up for the blog. This turned out to be the most helpful portion of the project.
5. Choose Photos/Frame Fillers – Once layout complete, you will know the size and direction of the photos you will need. I bought some photo mats at Wal-Mart to change up the frames a little bit. It also makes it easier to find/print out pictures if they aren't all 8×10. I was also interested in getting something besides pictures to put in the frames. I ended up buying some greeting cards with pictures/designs that I liked and then cutting them down to fit in the frame. This also gave me some control of the colors in the photos and allowed me to pull the room colors (yellow, pink, red) into the collage.
This part of the project was really difficult for me. I didn't want to choose a bunch of pictures of Matt and me because it's our guest bedroom and I'm guessing that our guests will want to retreat to the room and they probably won't want to keep looking at our faces. So, I used a bunch of pictures from our Europe trip and a few oldies, but goodies from years past. Only three are pictures of people and one of those people is the pope.
6. Hang the Frames – I then took the large, middle picture, found a spot on the wall, and hung it up. Then, I looked back at the remaining frames and panicked because I couldn't remember which frame edges were supposed to line up with the big frame. So, I referred to my photo.
Now, I guess you could be really exact in the method that you hang the photos, but I was not. I just held the picture up in the place I wanted it, pressed a nail into the wall on the top-middle of the frame, pulled the frame away, checked where the hangy thing was, guesstimated that location in relation to the nail indention, made another nail indention, grabbed the hammer, and hammered the nail. I only had to reposition one nail.
I did, however, have a little problem with the frames wanting to jump off the walls when I was hammering, so I placed some towels on our floors (we don't have carpet in this room) to cushion their landing.
Now, you see that P in the middle frame? I made that using these instructions at Young House Love. I modified the instructions a little and ended up printing it out on our printer at home from a scan of the letter, but it was generally the same.
Here is the final look.
I finagled some furniture around, switched around some benches, and viola! A photo collage!
Now we just need some guests! Remember, there are only 2 shuttle launches left and you can watch the launches from our backyard!! :)
Next up, the long awaited dining room remodel!
A few hours after we bought our house, we stopped by to check it out without the previous owners staring us down. This was only the second time we had seen it completely empty, the first being earlier that day for the final walk through. To say that the house grossed us out is a huge understatement. It was absolutely disgusting. We cleaned for 2 weeks and then moved in. Even though everything was clean there were still a couple of rooms that grossed me out. The guest bedroom was one of those rooms. Something about the combination of ugly wall colors, ugly wallpaper border, and lots and lots of hooks just gave me to heeby jeebies.
So, we set about trying to change that this past weekend. First step, take down ugly wallpaper.
The we painted and painted and painted. That dark color on the right took quite a bit of paint to cover. Now, the room is not completely done yet, so I can't give you the official before/after shots, but I wanted to show you our progress. The wall color is actually lighter than it looks the photos. It was stormy out when I was taking the pictures, so I had no help from natural light. And yes, the flooring is linoleum.
We still need window treatment, wall decor, and a few other minor dress-ups, but I love the way the room is coming together! And, a huge plus, this room doesn't gross me out anymore! It feels soo much better now. It's amazing what a couple of coats of paint can do!
On the downside, Matt has sworn off any more painting for the rest of his life. I'll have to remedy that in some way because we have most of the house still to paint. Yikes!

So over my lunch break I finally got around to cleaning out the small filing cabinet that came with my desk at work. And it turns out, my desk used to be occupied by an international spy. I present the evidence: in the photo below is everything that was contained in the top drawer:
You might have to enlarge it to see it all properly, but it's so spy-gear! And I happen to know that the last person in my cube did not have the name that is on that nameplate. The titles of the files that were in the drawer are sketchy as well.
Oil Flow? Error Codes? Those SO do not go with the place I work! And you can't really see them in the first picture, but there was a card for TD Waterhouse (you can see in the second picture) and this:
The System. Could it sound more ominous??? I am going to try to get to organizing my shelves more tomorrow, I'm hoping to find a secret button underneath one that releases the Kraken (what? spies totally have Krakens!). I promise not to reveal your secrets, spy-guys. Cross my heart.

Rev. John Forsythe Rouze devoted thirty six years of his life to preaching the gospel and his influence was
of no restricted order, for he was not denied the full harvest nor the aftermath of his labors. In fact he contributed
in large measure to the moral progress of Marion county and he was a man highly beloved and respected by all who
knew him.
He was born in Butler county, Ohio, January 1, 1823, and was one of a family of five sons and five daughters who
were children of Joseph and Susan (Forsythe) Rouze, both of whom were natives of New Jersey, where they were reared
and married. They removed to Ohio and later to Indiana, where their last days were spent.
The Rev. John F. Rouze received only such meager educational opportunities as the schools of that early day in
the pioneer district afforded. He was quite young when he started out in life on his own account and prior to the
Civil war he came to Marion county and entered land from the government. The fact that property could be secured
in that way is indicative of the conditions of the county at the time. He lived to see remarkable changes and bore
his part in the material development of this section as well as in the moral progress. He was a minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church in early manhood but afterward became identified with the Methodist Protestant church,
believing that more good could be accomplished through that avenue. For thirty six years he engaged in preaching
and his work was fraught with good results for the benefit of his fellowmen.
Mr. Rouze was three times married and his children were all born of the first union. His last marriage was celebrated
September 4, 1865, when Mrs. Nancy J. May became his wife. She was the widow of Alexander S. May, who came to this
county with his parents when the Indians were here. After the outbreak of the Civil war he offered his services
to the Union and served as a member of Company E, Eighth Iowa Volunteer Infantry. His remains now rest in a cemetery
in New Orleans. Mrs. Rouze is a daughter of S. P. and Alsina (Robinson) McCorkle and she became the wife of Mr.
Rouze in the old Knoxville courthouse. For a time thereafter they resided upon his farm and he gave considerable
attention to its development and improvement, but he never ceased his labors as a minister of the gospel and his
efforts in that direction were largely beneficial. At different times he was called to public office by his fellow
townsmen, who recognized his worth and ability. He was a member of the Masonic order and also the Knights of Pythias.
He died August 28, 1901, since which time Mrs. Rouze has taken up her abode in Bussey, where she still resides.
His life, ever honorable in its purpose and high in its ideals, left a deep impress upon many with whom he came
in contact and his memory now remains as a blessed benediction to all who knew him.

I understand why Millennials are wary of the current system. They've witnessed a consistently declining economy; one of the most partisan eras in American history; the fall of the twin towers; and a war predicated on weapons of mass destruction that were never found. I agree with them that our political system desperately needs reform. But, socialism is not the answer. Though it may sound compassionate and Christian, it's actually antithetical to everything Christianity teaches. Here's why.

Seeking Truth — Is Abolishing Marriage the Left's End Game?
Are progressives truly fighting for gay rights and income equality? Or, is their objective far more radical and insidious than most Americans imagine? Are they actually out to destroy marriage and family — and seizing gay rights as a means to this end? In this episode of Seeking Truth, Julie interviews Dr. Paul Kengor, author of "Takedown: From Communists to Progressives, How the Left has Sabotaged Family and Marriage." And, in this riveting and eye-opening discussion, Dr. Kengor shows how Leftists — beginning with Karl Marx, the father of communism, and moving to Weather Underground terrorist and Barack Obama mentor, Billy Ayers — have sought to revolutionize society by smashing monogamy and anything that smacks of traditional, Christian values. And now, with the dawn of gay marriage, they may have just the vehicle they need to complete the job!

Five reasons why you should watch Downton Abbey
For five years, we have cribbed and whined because our favourite drama ever was not aired in India. But it was a good thing. Watching five seasons of Downton Abbey in one go is the next best thing. No, it is the best thing. Ever.brunch Updated: Apr 07, 2015 18:06 IST
For five years, we have cribbed and whined because our favourite drama ever was not aired in India. But it was a good thing. Watching five seasons of
Downton Abbey
in one go is the next best thing. No, it is the best thing. Ever.
Downton Abbey is a Yorkshire country house, where the Earl and Countess of Grantham (Robert and Cora Crawley – their last names are not Grantham, just their title) live with their three daughters (the uptight Mary, the feminist Sybil and poor neglected Edith) and countless servants.
Pronunciation Guide
: It's Downton, not Down-town.
1. This is like a Jane Austen novel
. There are suitors for Mary – most notably, her "cousin Matthew". Sybil is a champion for all causes – education, socialism and women's rights. And the rather plain (at first) Edith.
2. The history:
It is 1912 when the opening credits roll in, and the Titanic has just sunk. You will be taken through the First World War, the feminist movement, the Irish Civil War, the Russian Revolution and the affairs of the British royal family. The last episode was set in 1925.
3. Downstairs and upward mobility:
This could very well be a show only about what happens downstairs (that's where the servants live) under the strict supervision of Mr Carson, the butler and Mrs Hughes, the housekeeper.
There are several maids and footmen, a fat, lovable cook (Mrs Patmore), an adorable scullery maid (Daisy)... the list is endless. You'll see how their lives change after the First World War – and how they mix with the Crawleys (very intimately).
4. The little details:
This is a world where women did not inherit estates (so will Downton go to Robert's distant cousin who is *gasp* a lawyer in *gasp* Manchester).
What must it be like to be gay back then? And what if a society lady were to date an African-American jazz singer? And the obscene bestseller of the time was Maria Stopes' Married Love, a manual for married women.
5. Maggie Smith:
Only the best actress ever! The 80-year-old plays Robert's mother, or the Dowager Countess. She'll teach you how to insult in polite society.
Don't be defeatist, dear. It's very middle class
Psst, starting on January 23 on Star World, Monday to Friday at 10pm

|Hi guys,
Going to your game against Accrington on Saturday, will be blogging about the match afterwards (see link). Never been to Gigg Lane before, so wondered about the best way to get there from Manchester Piccadilly?
Also, is there a decent pub near the ground that'll have the early game?

|From Piccadilly your best be is the Metrolink which will deposit you in Bury town centre, about 10 minutes walk from the ground. From there just follow the crowds. Obviously that last sentence was a joke. I'm sure one of the good people of Bury will point you in the right direction, either that or mug you anyway. That last bit was a joke aswell.
There's a social club next to the ground which should cost a pound to get it (although its been free the last couple of times I've been in there) and they always show the early match.
Alternatively there's a pub at the bottom end of Gigg Lane (can't remember its bloody name even though I used to go in every week) and one about a half mile further down the main road (Manchester Road) where a lot of Bury (and away) fans gather pre-match called the Swan and cemetery. I would expect both of these to be showing the live footy.
Hope you enjoy your trip to Gigg. Someone came and blogged about us last week (link is below). I hope your opinion of the team and fans mirrors his.

'Dragon Ball Super' Spoilers: Buu true origins and nature explained by Toriyama
Buu was brought into existence even before some characters of 'Dragon Ball Super' were created.
The turnout of the Tournament of Power in "Dragon Ball Super" could have been very different had Buu made it to the team. During the Zen-o exhibition match, he easily defeated his opponent by using his abilities. Unlike other fighters, he can heal himself quickly and annihilate his opponents without even sweating. While he was preparing for the tournament, he even sparred with Son Goku and knocked off the fan-favorite Saiyan by his quick moves. While many fans appear to know the origins of this powerful character in the franchise, a new report claims that it has directly excerpted interesting information from the horse's mouth — Akira Toriyama.
In one of his past interviews, the brains behind "Dragon Ball Super" and the rest of the DB series, Akira Toriyama, revealed interesting details about Buu's origins.
According to him, Buu was not actually created by Bibidi. The creator dismissed the previous statement made by the Kaioshin in the Manga that Bibidi created him. Toriyama san said that the powerful character existed since time immemorial and cycled between long hibernation and between rampages. During this time, Buu absorbed humankind's evil factor that triggered him to be violent. Bibidi knew how to call Buu from his long sleep.
Since Toriyama's revelation, it appears that Buu was made even before inhabitants of Universe 7 were created. The question about his origin remains unsolved. Interestingly, a new fan theory recently surfaced online claiming to have known the origins of Buu. Anime fan James Corden said that the Angel of Destruction Whis made Buu long before the role of god of description was even made a position. He claims that the character does not have a specific date when it came into existence.
From the statement made by Akira Toriyama, it appears that the evil nature of Buu was picked up from humans. This includes his murderous, sadistic, insane traits. Like the Tournament of Power, it seems that Buu's existence was made to maintain the balance between creation and destruction. After long rampages, Toriyama san described the character to undergo long hibernation periods. This routine is similar to that of Beerus that make sure the balance is observed and then sleeps after destroying several planets.
Other details
Meanwhile, Episode 116 of "Dragon Ball Super" is slated to officially air on November 19. It will feature the continuation of the fight between Universe 7's Son Goku and Universe 6's Kefla.
It was previously teased that Son Goku will use his Ultra Instinct form once again in this upcoming episode.

Acta Didactica Napocensia, v5 n2 p49-58 2012
A lot has been said about what to teach in ICT in primary and secondary education. There are serious discussions even debates about it. Much less has been said about why ICT should be taught. [1] Competences are related actions and tasks done by people (somebody is competent in a certain field if they are able to solve common tasks related to that field). ICT curricula contain these competences, together with development tasks, activities, abilities and skills, always assuming a knowledge system you can rely on. One of the most important competences, which is gathering more and more ground in primary and secondary education of dynamically developing countries, is "algorithmic thinking". This paper is aimed at dealing with its depths.

Ordering sculpture: Home page return Contact Us
We have recently changed our method of accepting orders to an email system, which is a lot more personal than the previous click the button, fill in your details, bit. It is preferable to us, in the interest of achieving the ultimate in customer satisfaction, to interact with you via email. This is due mainly to the fact that Foot's sculptures, with the exception of the bronze, alloy, and plain white works, can and do vary quite a lot in colour, as well as pattern. Every single piece is unique, and although that makes each one special, it also means that the one you've seen in the image on this site was just one example. For the same reason that one gets asked how many sugars would you like in your coffee, we'd like to make sure you get exactly what you would most enjoy. Little details like, is it going to go in a brightly lit area, on in a darker area; inside or outside; do you live near the ocean; etc., these are all significant in making an optimum choice.
Once we know exactly what you would like, and in some cases we can even make it specifically to your satisfaction, then if necessary an image can be emailed to you. Once you have decided and are ready to make payment, several methods are available. PayPal is the easiest and safest option, and they have a good buyer protection policy. You can also email credit card details if you are comfortable with that or you can also fax orders direct to Foot's personal office in Australia (from the U.S. dial 011 61 749 461 419). You may phone, in Australia the phone number is 07 4946 9062, the Hamilton Island gallery (country code is 61 for overseas clients). Of course there is always snail mail, and those old fashioned things called checks (cheques to us Aussies), mark them "Negotiable by Payee Only" and you are safe as houses, but don't expect it next week.
Direct bank deposit is also an option, domestic or international, send an email to obtain bank deposit particulars. You are entitled to a 1.5% discount for this if requested.
PayPal is the best option, but in the interest of getting you exactly what you desire, some input is required. You can add notes such as whether or not you prefer lots of colour or a little, or any other requests, in the box "add special instructions to seller" which will appear once you have gone to the PayPal site. You can also request that we email you a Paypal payment request which can be made payable in in your currency of choice, this is done simply by sending us an email.
Click the Paypal button, below to go to the secure Paypal site, where you can pay with your credit card, or your paypal account. Please note that we have chosen not to set up our website purchasing as a 'shopping cart', for reasons mentioned above, so you will need to enter the name and ID number of the particular sculpture and its colour/ medium into the text box below. If you clicked the "Express Interest" button on the page, it would have sent us those details.
|Use this button for purchases in USD and all other currencies. Please note that you should provide a postal address for items with a ship weight less than 20 kg. and if over 20 kg., a physical address for delivery; when you are on the PayPal site. A phone # is needed for international deliveries. See below for shipping costs.
|Use this button for Australian purchases in AUD. Please note that you should provide a physical address for delivery when you are on the PayPal site, as we normally use courier services for delivery. Entering a phone number here is a good idea. See below for shipping costs.
If you have any problems with any orders, would like something original made, or would just like to contact the artist personally, please feel free to directly email us.
Unless you are 100% happy with your work, we have no problem with refunding your money if the item is returned in its original condition and packing.
Regarding shipping:
For clients in Australia the cost of shipping is minimal, due to the vast distances of our country, we have developed very efficient and competitive shipping means and costs. To ship any small sculpture under 3 kg, we use a $20 TNT airbag that is delivered the next day, or you can elect for a Fastways bag @$10 (1 week delivery). For items up to 5 kg this requires a $30 TNTair bag, or $15 by Fastways. Items can also be posted, up to 20 kg, but generally Fastways is a very reliable carrier at very good rates, the cost is generally around 5% of the cost of the sculpture, more or less depending on your location. They do not deliver to some destinations, however. We can also use the post for items between up to20 kg, but for all items over 30 kg we use TNT.
For overseas clients, NOTE THAT YOU HAVE THE BENEFIT OF NOT PAYING THE GST IF WE SHIP OUT OF AUSTRALIA, THIS WILL SAVE YOU 9% OF THE LISTED PRICE. You also have the option, if overseas, of paying in $AUD, less the GST, and then plus a calculated freight cost, which we would need to calculate for a chosen item and destination, email us. Also note that we use the postal service for items up to 20 kilos, above that we use TNT international air freight. Very large or very heavy items over 200 kg (500 lbs.) can only be sent by ship. All shipping or posting includes insurance, but note that items sent to Canada and Germany can not be insured through the postal system. For these countries we use the premium Australia Post service, called Express Post International, it is very fast, requires signatures and has full tracking end to end, via a web page. There have been no issues with this service, and it is only a few dollars more expensive than air mail.
