Delight Springs: Matthew Chapman
Matthew Chapman, author of Trials of the Monkey, is an atheist (but not a "new" one), a lineal descendant of Charles Darwin, a successful Hollywood screenwriter, a respectful observer of life in Dayton, Tennessee, and a respecter of the humanity of those fellow humans who happen to believe in a divine universal creation. He believes atheists and religious believers should be able to coexist (his answer to the question posed over at the other blog this morning.) Evolution is "everybody's story," but not everybody warms thankfully to it as the spiritual core of our common narrative. Darwin's boy thinks that may be okay.
Here he is at the Southern Festival of Books in Nashville, in 2001. (btw: I was on the program that year too, plugging my then-new William James book. Wish I'd got his autograph!)

For Immediate Release Reviews - Kids: Not So Tall For Six
Dianna Hutts Aston; Illustrated by Frank W. Dormer
Kylie Bell is the smallest student in first grade. Does this fact bother her? Not a bit. She looks at that particular measurement in her own unique way, choosing to describe herself as the "not-so-tallest" person in first grade.
It's no surprise that Kylie is itty bitty, as her entire family is vertically challenged. Their small stature is why their family motto has become "Brave and smart and big at heart." The Bells know that you don't have to claim a lot of inches to claim your place this world.
It is important that Kylie has such a positive attitude about herself because she sure is having a tough time at school with the new boy, Rusty Jacks. He teases her and taunts her all over the school, generally being a thorn in her side. Kylie needs to summon all her courage to face this big bully.
In the end, it is Rusty Jacks who finds himself needing a friend. When Ms. Shelts asks all the circle leaders who can find a spot in their reading group, not a single person will meet her eye. Rusty stands alone, unwelcome and embarrassed. It is Kylie who take two deep breaths, sets aside her scared feelings, and welcomes Rusty to her group. After giving him a chance, Kylie discovers that under his tough exterior, Rusty Jacks is actually a bit of a softie.
I think one of the cutest details of this book is the way it is written "western"style. The author uses phrases like "skedaddles faster than a spooked horse" and "skitter-dee-doos" while the reading groups boast names like Bison and Shetland Ponies. From the ten-gallon hats and kerchiefs right down to the cowboy boots, you can tell Texas has been written right into this story.
Not just fun illustrations and western twang, this book teaches a valuable lesson. Physical appearance, whether is height or weight, skin or eye color, is not the true measure of a person. Each person's character is defined by their personality, intelligence and heart. The size of Kylie's heart far outstretches her diminutive form and she overcomes her fear to befriend Rusty Jacks.

Was in town for an engagement party and Nick's little flat was perfect to get home to. The beds were so comfy! We didn't spend much time in the flat itself because we went out exploring a lot but overall, we had a great time :)
Ser Lin2017-09-10T00:00:00Z
Nick was great to deal with! Very fast response to our request. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back to stay again!

Lovely appartment/ house everything you need, including a garage. The area is nice and quiet, with shops a walkable distance away. Would highly recommend for families.
창고의 2층을 숙소처럼 개조한집입니다. 몇달은 아무도 드나든적 없던듯 먼지가득하고 서랍에선 언제적인지 모를 썩은 양파가 존재했으며 침대바로옆 변기가 있습니다. 참개방적이죠. 큰 개 두마리가 있습니다. 한마리는 온순하지만 한마리는 엄청짖고 달려듭니다. 호스트는 온순하다 말하지만 제가느끼기엔 전혀온순하지않았습니다. 최소숙박이 3일인데 저희는 손해를 보더라도 하루만 있다가 나왔습니다. 자다가 쥐가 얼굴을 타고지나가도 이상하지 않을 그런집이었습니다. 누군가 저처럼 후회하는 일이없길바랍니다. 절대추천하지않습니다.

James' place is as presented in the photos. I enjoyed the quirky opening boards over the skylights and the end wall section that opens out as though it's windows. I especially appreciated the beautiful vase of fresh flowers, the fresh eggs, and the very comfortable armchair. The bed was comfortable, and the gas heater warmed the place up quickly. James communicated promptly and well.

Great location and such a lovely lady you are. Really enjoyed the house and the aircon is a pleasure. The only thing was would have been liked to be told was the breakfast finished at 9am. Otherwise the dogs were happy and so were we. Will definitely come back again.
Cath was very responsive, the house was beautifully decorated and in a great location. It has everything you could need. We stayed a Saturday night so the pub across the road was a tad noisy. It was the start of winter and we were thankful for the central heating which worked well. The heating doesn't cover the laundry/toilets at the back of the house so it's a nippy trip at night! We would definitely stay again.
Great location. Very warm and comfortable house. Host was A+
Everyone we dealt with was helpful in making us feel welcome in Wagga. The cottage is in an older style but very comfortable and well maintained... a great spot to relax on the long drive from Adelaide to Sydney with 4 kids in tow. The main shopping/restaurant strip is 5 mins walk away with a hotel right across the road. We loved it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Cath was such an accommodating and relaxed host. Everything we needed was there, and Cath went above and beyond to offer more. The house was large and very cool on a hot day. It is perfect for a family and is in such a great location. Thanks for having us Cath!
If you want to experience a bit of Australian history then this is the place to stay. The house has retained all its original features but has been updated for present day living with the addition of aircon. The location is great for getting out and about in Wagga. A comfortable and relaxing place to stay - definitely recommended!
Stayed here for a week while attending uni. Great location, easy 10 minute walk to some great pubs and restaurants. Jan is extremely welcoming and easy to get along with, and eager to help with anything. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic place to stay. Very quiet, beautiful home and restful garden. The beds are very comfortable and Jan is a great hostess. Great for our stay. We felt welcomed and looked after.
I had a lovely stay at jans place. She was very welcoming and made Myself and my friend feel very comfortable. Everything was very clean and as pictured. I would definitely come back.

Elder Gavin Smith Hermosillo Mexico Mission: October 2015
Did you know that there are two types of stress? Good and bad. One shuts you down while the other is actually healthy and motivates you. I'm rocking that right now. We'll get to the why later. Until then I'll start from the beginning.
This week has been phenomenal. Unbelievable . And straight up amazing. We saw God]s hand in our work here without a doubt. This week we taught the Gonzalez family some more and can I just say, they have been a blessing from the start. They're truly one of the most amazing families I've ever met. We stopped by and friday. they are reading their assignments, they are doing their part to learn the gospel and then they;re the friendliest bunch ever. We walk in and within in 5 seconds the middle child Kiro Shesit is hugging you saying she missed you. then Ángel is having you make spongebob out of clay while La Hermana is making dinner and Carlos is telling you about how much he enjoyed the assignment we had left and how things are just working out in life better and better. They;re fantastic.
Then apart from that we are having the most amazing experiences every day finding and teaching people. Just the other day we were on the bus and an older member got on. He;s a little bad in the mind but nonetheless is a great guy. He always shares the gospel with every one he sees. He started talking with someone on the bus and presented him to us. His name is Andres. We start talking a bit with him but uur stop was coming up and Andres was headed much further so he gave us his address and we hopped off. A few moments later we hear someone calls out to us and we look back and Andres had hopped of the bus. He said something like "Hey I have a problem. I liked the way you talked to me and I think you can help." We happened to be near the chapel so we stopped by and started talking to him. He truly was full of need. We were able to talk to him and when we parted ways I could see a hope in him that hadn't been there for a very long time. Daily I'm shocked by the trust the Lord gives us to speak on His behalf. That day I truly felt like I had done my share. He isn't in our area but I expect great things from the missionaries that will be visiting him.
Those are a few of many amazing moments this week.
So we get to the end of the week and there were 4 baptisms. Two from Elder Bazan and Rivero and two from Magdalena (a small town about an hour from here) that was amazing to see. Right after we were told about transfers. Every missionary in the branch here was sent somewhere else. Everyone but me. So even though I still don't know all the areas too well, I'll be teaching all I know to everyone. This will be a very good stressful experience for me haha. I'm stoked to get lost every day haha. but like I said, everything stressful can be a motivation or a lock down and I'm ready to make this the best transfer of my life.
Have the best week ever I love you all tons! Keep up the amazing!
PS. The pic is of a dish a recent convert made. It is called ceviche. It's probably one of the most delicious things I've eaten in many a long moon. It's prepared cutting up in smallish pieces fish and shrimp. These are placed in a bowl uncooked and covered in lime juice. You let it sit for 20 min or so until the acid in the lime cooks the meat. Then you add onion, cilantro, tomato, seasoning, clamato (tomato juice with clam flavoring). Mix the lot and eat with tostados or tortilla chips like a salsa. It's sosossosososoososooooo goood. Don't let the raw seafood trick you into thinking its not. If you get the chance try it. That's all!

So last week was so so amazing.
The blessings just kept coming time and time again. The Lord is truly helping us find the people He has prepared for us. Our rededication to his standards is helping so so much. This past week we got to teach several amazing people. One of whom really stands out to me. The family Gonzalez had been inactive for a long long time but as I previously stated they showed up to church suddenly last week and this past week we got to stop by to talk with them. We had a street name but no house number but after a year here that is good enough haha. Soon we found ourselves outside their door. The moment they saw us they ushered us right in saying they were wondering when we'd stop by. We start talking to them all and they are so ready to receive the gospel. most to reactivate and one, the husband to learn all about it for the first time. He is golden. We left Saturday night leaving him an assignment to read several things and Sunday morning when we saw him in church he had already started and had everything all planned out to be ready for the next visit Wednesday. He loved church and is really just a blessing. and then the ward here they're just great! We hardly have to ask people to visit with us. They come to us asking when the can go visit people with us. We're reaching a point where I hardly know what to do with all the work. its amazing.
Friday we had a 9-5 meeting wtih president and the zone. 8 hours of some of the most edifying teaching and learning I've had in a good while. One of the things that really stood out to me was President Robbinson and his comments of conversion. He spoke about several things but he referred to the Old Ship Zion (Elder Ballard last conference) and how there's really no where else to go. No other way will take us to the celestial kingdom. Too often people see a crack in the wood or a fading paint job and decide to abandon the ship and try swimming on their own but it never works. people will attack your faith and your beliefs but if we have a testimony of what matters most, we will be safe and secure. "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith"
Personally im looking forward to the best week of my life and I hope the same to you all!
I love you tons and please enjoy the pics haha.

So we had a truly amazing week. It was a bit slow but so much good happened.
Both me and my companion got hit by a cold that had us essentially bed ridden for two days. We left for appointments but that was about it. Nonetheless things went amazing. I remember one of the days we left around 5 or 6 to go to an appointment. I felt horrible but we went out anyway. While we were walking my companion and I started talking about how we could improve "What lack I yet?" to a certain extent. In that moment we talked a bit about being more diligent. Later as we went to the appointment, no one was there. So we left a note and went to the next. Same. No one. We were walking away and ran into them in the street on their way home. Sadly they were unable to attend us at the moment but we set an appointment for the next day. At this point I was crazy exhausted. bad bad headache and serious nasal congestion. I wanted to head home basically. But my companion said hey lets check and see if Elena is home. So we went. Not home. Once again I'm ready to go home but I think I needed to learn a lesson that evening. My companion said Hey lets check one more place before heading home. It's on the way anyway. It was a reference we had received a few weeks ago. We had been trying to find them and had even made appointments and all but never had the chance to really talk to them. This evening we stopped by and a young mom came out. We asked if Carmen (the reference) was home. she was Carmen it turns out. She let us in and we got to talk for almost an hour. It was amazing. She had had some questions and had talked with a member friend that lives in Southern Mexico and even chatted online through mormon.org. She also had watched general conference at home by invitation of said member. It was awesome. We were able to clarify some of her questions (some of which I could really notice the Spirit's help in answering). Basically it was an awesome lesson. What's more, as we talked I felt no pain or discomfort due to being sick. We were truly blessed for diligence that night.
As we made it home that evening we decided to keep in the improving spirit and we pulled out the good ol missionary manual. We went though page by page and set goals to ensure we were keeping in line with the mission standards. We had several things to change and I can already see the blessings. For one, these past days as the alarm goes off, while groggy, I haven't felt too tired. Normally I feel destroyed come 6:30 am but right now it's almost easy to get up. Sunday was awesome. Out of the blue a less active member and her nonmember husband and child came to church. We didn't even know they lived in our area (we are slowly trying to get to know the 300+ less actives in our area). They have a lot of interest in reactivating and want their child baptized and the husband as well. More to come in following weeks I hope :) and then we went out working and things just went great that evening. We searched for several people and didn't find them but after scaling what would be a moderate staircase here (some 15 flights probably) we decided we better get something useful out of that effort so we stopped by a less actives house and their dog tried to eat us and no one was home but we stopped by the neighbors to see if they knew when we would be able to find them home. They received us in a very friendly manner. They're an older couple living with their daughter, son in law and grand child. We shared a short message with the grandparents and set a return appointment for today when everyone will be there. It should be awesome. The Lord really blesses those who are obedient. We had been seriously struggling to have any work or progress in our area but after recommitting to being obedient things just started going great. Keep trying to be perfect and even though we all mess up, our efforts go far from wasted. They take us to success. Never stop being amazing and have the best week ever! I love you all and hope to hear from you soon!

Hormone tax?
Posted by gav young on 06/06/2013
Posted in: Uncategorized.	Tagged: collection, dead, hormones, peer pressure, pub, time, timing, venue, work.	2 Comments
My office seems to have turned into a hormonal asylum. Today I was asked if I would contribute to yet another collection. This latest envelope was in honour of a colleague who left some time ago. Well more accurately it was for the passing of his father.
I never knew the man’s father and the collector could not explain why a dead stranger would need money. It is not just me that has noticed the creeping desire to collect for everything. I work in an industry where we are transient, we change sites regularly. In this office they have collections for people leaving sites, not changing jobs just sites.
I will not bow to peer pressure, I will reject the insistent envelope shaking. No puppy dog eyes will get me to engage in this insanity. It’s life it’s not all some odd sponsorship deal!
An interesting development at the location of choice was discovered inadvertently recently. It would appear that a pub that I narrowly missed out on has ceased trading. Perhaps the sale of the pub opposite is not a great way to discover this, it hardly shows an easy trade in the area after all. But this is a gem of a pub, in a great tourist town and a fantastic location.
The building offers a few letting rooms, a good size bar and car parking. It ticks a lot of boxes although I have not seen it since the last owner refurbished. Here’s hoping that the owner takes her time and it hits the market when I am back on track. Hey if not there are other targets. . .

Random Ramblings ♥: Beautiful/Crazy/Busy/Amazing!
Beautiful/Crazy/Busy/Amazing!
I guess I lied about writing once a week. I'm sort of going crazy with all this internship stuff. On the bright side... Somebody needed advice on their own planning yesterday and asked me for help because I seem so on top of things! That was a confidence booster. :) However, right now all I am doing is procrastinating. That's when I get really good at writing in my blog. ;)
The other day I was doing some stats on my internship so far.
I have currently spent about $100 of my own money getting ready for it,
I have spent 7.5 hours (if you count time of people helping me) just cutting out lamination,
I have had about 24 hours worth of (unpaid) meetings so far this summer,
And I have put more hours into preparing for it than I can even count right now.
Someone mentioned to me the other day that they never understood why people go back to college for degree after degree, but then they decided that it's because college is so much easier than real-life jobs! I completely agree, haha. This is nuts.
Good thing I chose to do something that I love!
I had a birthday since my last post! I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22! ;)
I also started contributing to my friend's gratitude blog. I don't write in it as often as I should. (Common theme?) But it helps me remember during all the stress what is so great about my life. And there are lots of wonderful things! Check it out if you so desire. :) http://pointsofgratitude.blogspot.com/
I got to go swimming the other night! It was sort of freezing, and we had to be quiet so their neighbors wouldn't call the cops, but it was fun, and it made this summer finally actually FEEL like summer. (An entire month in.)
Also- I went to Provo and hung out with all my Provo friends for the weekend. It may have involved tennis, handstands, Zumba, and being completely wrapped up/stuck to someone else via Saran Wrap. I was sore for like 3 days! My life doesn't get that exciting at home. I miss college!
Anyway... I really do love this beautiful, crazy, BUSY but amazing life!!

WhOW TO REPLACE THE EXPOUSER LAMP IN MINOLTA COPIE [Solved] - Fixya

1 Answer WHOW TO REPLACE THE EXPOUSER LAMP IN MINOLTA COPIER EP 2030 THANKS MIKE
where is the imaging removal tool
Re: WHOW TO REPLACE THE EXPOUSER LAMP IN MINOLTA COPIER...
It's not very difficult. CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGE TO LAMP! ***BE SURE TO UNPLUG MACHINE BEFORE ATTEMPTING REMOVAL!1. Remove 2 silver screws on plate that aligns your original -on left side of glass. (note: if ADF on machine, there will be two small springs under this plate, be careful to keep springs when you remove the plate) 2. Carefully remove glass by lifting slightly and sliding to the front. 3. Grasp carriage with lamp and pull to the right.4. The lamp is held by tension between two silver lamp terminals. You can press (hard) on the rear terminal toward the back of the machine and the lamp will release and drop onto the reflector. Or, if this is difficult, remove the screw(s) on the black plastic housing that holds the silver lamp terminals. Once loose,slide the lamp to the rear until you can lift the front up and out.5. To replace the lamp, USE CAUTION NOT TO TOUCH THE NEW LAMP WITH YOUR BARE HANDS! The oils from your hand can cause problems later. Use rubber gloves or wrap a paper towel around the lamp when handling. Slide the lamp all the way into the rear hole until you can get the front of the lamp into it's hole. Then, maneuver the lamp onto the front terminalwhile pressing the rear terminal until it's wide enough to accept the lamp. (or, if you removed the black housing, catch the lamp socket with the terminal then pull the housing toward you until it seats into position where you can reinstall the screws). 6. Replace the glass being careful to get the right side under the two metal spring clips. 7. Reinstall the original stop plate located left of the glass with the two silver screws (and the springs if ADF is attached). 8. Plug it back in, turn it on and away you go.
