Q: Engine is misfiring and Check Engine Light is on - 2002 Toyota Tacoma

asked by on

Vehicle engine occasionally starts missing and check engine light starts flashing.It will last for about approximately 5 min. I have had it checked by computer when it is running right and it says misfire on number 3 cylinder. I replaced coil,oxygen sensor,fuel filter,and plug tube set.The vehicle still has the same problem. Changed spark plugs also.

My car has 278000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

Hello. A flashing Check Engine Light is a sign that the computer has detected an issue that could potentially damage the vehicle’s emissions components. I would recommend scanning the trouble codes when the light is flashing in order to determine if there is a serious issue.

If there is a misfire on cylinder 3, and you have replaced those components, a few other things I would look into are the fuel injector for cylinder 3, the mass airflow sensor, the fuel pressure, and for any possible vacuum leaks.

I recommend having a certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, perform an inspection to determine why the engine is misfiring and why the Check Engine Light is on.

Comment: 2012 proves to be Lakewood's 'Year of the Champion'

by: Jen Blanco Sports Editor

Every athlete across the board strives for perfection in one way or another.

Whether it’s setting a personal record, winning a championship or moving on to play at the next level, each individual athlete has his or her own idea of what it means to be a successful athlete.

And in many cases, that notion of success is often defined by state championships.

Lakewood Ranch High senior Devin McDermott described it as “one perfect moment.”

Lakewood Ranch High junior Taylor Newton called it “everything.”

Braden River High alum Nicole Tira described it as “any girl’s dream.”

State titles are coveted, but they don’t just happen every day.

Apparently, someone forgot to mention that to Lakewood Ranch High’s athletes this year.

It’s been the “Year of the Champion” at Lakewood Ranch, as the Mustangs have won seven individual or team state titles this season. Lakewood started its state title run this fall, with Olivia Ortiz capturing an individual state title in cross country and the boys golf team capturing the Class 2A state tournament.

Swimmers Danielle Valley and Will Kazokas and tennis players Arnav and Arsav Mohanty, Cari Berry and Ashley Bongart all added state titles of their own earlier this year.

Most recently, the girls 4x800 relay of McDermott, Ortiz, Kristin Zarrella and Natalie Novak won gold at the Class 3A state meet May 4.

And the school may not be done yet, with the softball team competing in the state Final 4 May 9-10, and the baseball team in the midst of its regional tournament run.

The softball team has never won a state title, and the baseball team won its one and only state title in 2003.

Now with only one week at the most left in the spring season, Lakewood is making a strong case for having one of the area’s most talented athletic programs. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Lakewood has to make room in its trophy case for another state title by this time next week.

Poisoning the North

“Indigenous people have become the industrialized world’s lab rats.” -Rachel Carson As early as 1945 Rachel Carson was becoming…

“Indigenous people have

become the industrialized world’s lab rats.”

-Rachel Carson

As early as 1945 Rachel Carson was becoming increasingly alarmed at the amount of deadly toxins being pumped into the earth, oceans, and atmosphere.

The rather simple logic of “we are what we eat” lead her to correctly assume that all life on Earth was being poisoned as well. In 1962 she published her landmark study Silent Spring.

Last year, Marla Cone, environmental journalist with the Los Angeles Times, alerted us to yet another horror: the poisoning has increased significantly and it is greatly more pronounced in the High Arctic.

Because of that, native people are taking it hardest.

Carson ended her classic study with a call for increased funding of research into toxins and how they are entering the food chain.

She also insisted there are other reliable and highly effective ways to reduce pests and noxious plants without DDT and other deadly chemicals.

While there was some movement to heed her call during the last half of the 20th century, many felt it was too little to late.

Cone’s work, Silent Snow, is evidence of just that.

Because of the way planet Earth works — how the wind blows over the surface and how small animals eat larger ones — the highest concentration of DDT and PCBs end up in the High North and in the bodies of native people who live off the land and the sea.

In fact, Cone found that some native mothers “carried such a potent brew of chemicals in their bodies they could be declared hazardous waste.”

Cone laments, “The Arctic’s indigenous people have become the industrialized world’s lab rats, the voluntary subjects of an accidental human experiment that reveals what happens when a boundless brew of chemicals builds up in an environment.”

In the min-1980s southern technology introduced yet another toxic substance just now beginning to show up in high concentrations among northern indigenous people: polybrominated diphenyl ethers — PBDEs.

Used as an effective flame retardant, residual PBDEs were first discovered in rivers in Sweden. Scientists knew it would not be long before it found its way into the diet of northern peoples.

According to Cone, PBDEs are found in polar bears, seals, killer whales and most songbirds. It now shows up in breast milk of Arctic women.

What is most alarming for Cone is that PBDEs are showing up in rates “unseen since the PCB’s and DDT of the 1960s.”

One would think in light of Carson’s work a half decade earlier, we would have learned something about the use of these potentially deadly toxins. Clearly we have not.

Carson opened Silent Spring with a quote from Albert Schweitzer:

“Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall.

He will end by destroying the Earth.”

Cone is equally pessimistic. “Scientists are dismayed that society has learned nothing from the toxic legacies of the past and appears destined to repeat them over and over. Only the names of the chemicals change.”

What I find most discouraging in both Silent Spring and Silent Snow is that marginalized people suffer most from the toxic sludge we are pumping into the world.

Poor folks who live closest to the manufacturing plants that make the chemicals and indigenous people who live off the land are now at the highest risk.

Those at highest risk are at the lowest rung of the political and economic ladder. They along with polar bears, ringed seals, whales and Arctic foxes are simply without a voice.

And, according to Swedish scientist Äke Bergman, “for a variety of reasons — political, scientific, and legal — it is harder than ever to ban a chemical in the United States (where most of these toxins are produced).”

But while Carson and Cone ended their research on rather somber notes I, on the other hand, remain more upbeat. People tied directly to the land have unspeakable resolve. Their willingness and their ability to adapt are beyond compare.

And, being the believer I am in evolution, I always find solace in Charles Darwin. Evolution applies equally to the world of ideas and sensibilities.

In his 1874 publication of The Descent of Man, Darwin observed, “Originally each man had regard only for himself and those of a very narrow circle about him; later, he came to regard more and more not only the welfare, but the happiness of all his fellows; then his sympathies became more tender and widely diffused, extending to men of all races, to the imbecile, maimed, and other members of society, and finally to the lower animals.”

Darwin is absolutely correct in assuming we evolve successfully by caring intimately about the world we live in.

I believe there will be an outcry of support for native people of the North that will result in a direct action campaign to prohibit the use of highly toxic chemicals in the industrialized world.

Carson is also right on target when she says: “In contemplating the exceeding beauty of the earth people have found calmness and courage.”

Cone’s work has given us the facts about the slow poising of the high Arctic. The rest is now up to us.

Where will we find the courage?

Film Producers

Industry Highlights

For more than 40 years, Chubb has been underwriting film productions, staying apace with the new technologies of this changing industry. From film to video, analog to digital, and SD to HD, we've provided innovative insurance solutions to film producers over the years for myriad risks and exposures.

Insurance Highlights

Chubb’s Film Producers risk policy provides essential insurance solutions for a wide variety of productions, including:

  • Feature films
  • Television productions
  • Commercials
  • Documentaries
  • Music videos
  • Educational films
  • Corporate or institutional productions

Manage Risks

  • During the post production, an error occurred in editing and a reshoot of a key scene was needed. However, the star of the movie, a declared cast member, was incapacitated at that time because of the death of his mother. The reshoot is delayed, resulting in extra expenses of $100,000 to $200,000 per day. Chubb's Film Producers Risk policy helps protect against these added expenses.
  • Media firms and others that gather and disseminate information face a litany of media liability exposures - any of which can result in a lawsuit. MediaGuard by Chubb, provided on a stand-alone or integrated basis, helps protect you against those risks.

Heads Up — FASB overhauls guidance on presentation of financial statements for not-for-profit entities

On August 18, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-14, which significantly changes the presentation requirements for financial statements of not-for-profit entities (NFPs). The amendments are intended to improve the guidance on net asset classification as well as the information presented in the financial statements and financial statement notes regarding liquidity, financial performance, and cash flows for NFPs. Specifically, the ASU addresses (1) the complexity and understandability of net asset classifications, (2) the lack of consistency in the type of information provided about expenses, and (3) inconsistencies in the reporting of (a) operating information in the statement of activities and (b) operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

This is a preview of the Heads Up. View the complete Heads Up.

Main Provisions of the ASU

Net Assets

Under existing U.S. GAAP, three classes of net assets — unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and permanently restricted — are presented in the statement of financial position. However, in addition to total net assets, the ASU requires NFPs to present in the statement of financial position at the end of the period only two classes of net assets — net assets with donor restrictions and net assets without donor restrictions. See Appendix A for an example of how an NFP would adjust the presentation of net assets in its statement of financial position to reflect these two classes instead of the three classes required under current guidance.

Editor’s Note

The FASB decided that the complexity of distinguishing between permanent and temporary restrictions is unwarranted and that better information can be obtained from enhanced disclosures about the nature, amounts, and effects of the various types of donor-imposed restrictions, including information about the purposes for which the resources can be used and the time frame of their use.

Statement of Activities

The ASU requires an NFP’s presentation, in the statement of activities, of the change in each of the two new classes of net assets to be similar to its presentation under current guidance of the change in each of the three net asset classes. See Appendix B for a sample presentation of an NFP’s statement of activities that shows the two new subtotals required under the ASU.

Further, when reporting expenses, NFPs must disclose information about the nature and function of the expenses in accordance with their functional classification, such as major classes of program services and supporting activities.

Statement of Cash Flows

Under the ASU, an NFP that chooses to use the direct method of cash flow reporting is no longer required to present or disclose the indirect method reconciliation. NFPs will continue to have the option to present their statement of cash flows by using either the direct method or indirect method.

Reporting of Net Investment Returns and Reporting Expirations of

NFPs are no longer required to disclose the netted expenses when reporting investment returns. The ASU also limits the type of expenses that are appropriate to include in a report of net investment returns.

Editor’s Note

Since under the ASU NFPs no longer have to disclose netted expenses, the difficulties and costs associated with identifying embedded fees in investment expenses are eliminated.

Further, in reporting expirations of restrictions on gifts of cash or other assets to be used to acquire or construct a long-lived asset, entities must now use the placed-in-service approach when there are no explicit donor stipulations. The ASU thus eliminates the option under current guidance that allows entities to release the donor-imposed restriction over the estimated useful life of the acquired asset.

The ASU enhances the disclosure requirements for NFPs. As a result, such entities must present the following:

  • “Amounts and purposes of governing board designations, appropriations, and similar actions that result in self-imposed limits on the use of resources without donor-imposed restrictions as of the end of the period.”
  • “Composition of net assets with donor restrictions at the end of the period and how the restrictions affect the use of resources.”
  • “Qualitative information that communicates how an NFP manages its liquid resources available to meet cash needs for general expenditures within one year of the balance sheet date.”
  • “Quantitative information, either on the face of the balance sheet or in the notes, and additional qualitative information in the notes as necessary, that communicates the availability of an NFP’s financial assets at the balance sheet date to meet cash needs for general expenditures within one year of the balance sheet date.”
  • “Amounts of expenses by both their natural classification and their functional classification.”
  • “Method(s) used to allocate costs among program and support functions.”
  • “Underwater endowment funds, which include required disclosures of (1) an NFP’s policy, and any actions taken during the period, concerning appropriation from underwater endowment funds, (2) the aggregate fair value of such funds, (3) the aggregate of the original gift amounts (or level required by donor or law) to be maintained, and (4) the aggregate amount by which funds are underwater (deficiencies), which are to be classified as part of net assets with donor restrictions.”

Today Isn’t National BBQ Day

27 May

Today is Memorial day, it is not national BBQ day.  Today isn’t about buying a couch and getting a free coffee table,  or getting a car with 0% APR. It’s not about all the crazy Sales or just another day you don’t have to go to school. Today has a bigger meaning then all of that. I have no idea what you are doing right now; maybe bored at home, maybe you’re driving and reading this on your phone. Whatever it is you are doing you are doing it freely thanks to our soldiers. We are not forced into our military, it’s a volunteer enrollment. While I get to sit at home and drink a cold beer playing Call of Duty(a game that glorifies war,  probably shouldn’t be playing.) someone somewhere is out there trying to keep us safe. Because of this I’m more worried about our own criminals then of terrorists. Today is a day to honor them. A day not to give them medals, but to give them a hug. Say thank you, let them know you appreciate all that they sacrifice.

So today when you bite into that juicy burger remember that you are able to do so because of our amazing military. Hope everyone enjoys today! Happy Memorial Day!

New Fashion Designs from Yarn Designers Boutique

I’ve had the honour again to participate in the Chamber of Commerce’s annual charity fashion show, this time I unveiled four new designs, MaggiKnits Charcoal Tweed Capelet and Rich Red Linen Sweater, Feza’s Lime Boho Vest, and Louisa Harding’s Bohemian Sweater. Our glamorous models this year were Katy Strand and Pat Holt.
MaggiKnits Charcoal Shawl
MaggiKnits Charcoal Tweed Capelet
You won’t be bored knitting our MaggiKnits Charcoal Tweed Capelet with its own matching removable Tartan Cowl.  The red and white accents add crisp definition to a fun knitting pattern.   The main yarn is Maggi’s Irish Tweed wool which is really fast to knit up and very warm.  The shoulders are nicely shaped and this kit comes in several sizes with its own custom made matching buttons included.  Katie has paired this elegant capelet with a readymade grey knit dress and tall boots.  This project is a regularly stocked kit at Yarn Designers Boutique and was knit by Gena Hester.  Maggie has done it again combining a sense of knitting history with a touch of class!

MaggiKnits Rich Red Linen SweaterMaggiKnits Rich Red Linen Sweater
As the Fall chill moves in, you can stay warm with MaggiKnits rich red linen sweater.   Designed by Irish Knitwear Designer Maggie Jackson and knitted by Gena Hester, the tapered front and back compliment every figure.

The Feza Lime Boho Vest is a fun topping for classic black – dressy or casual.  Feza yarns come from Turkey and are well known for their bright cheery colors and textured thick and thin strands.  Each hank is made from 8 to 10 yarns which have been hand tied together by the women of Turkey every 15 to 18 yards.  This vest was hand knit and designed by Gena Hester who added 2 more complementary yarns throughout as well as the lattice ties on the sides and front closures of the vest for added detail.  The fun ruffled matching scarf dresses up this look.  Since the yarn does all the work, the knitting is very easy to do.  Notice the special way it is constructed along the back neckline – the vest is really only 2 rectangular pieces mysteriously sewn together to create the interesting back neckline.
The perfect complement to our lime vest is our lime cabled a-line skirt designed by Laura Zukaite and knitted by Gena Hester.  Made from Lion Brand 100% organic cotton, this skirt is warm and flatters the figure perfectly with flare shaping.  Many knit skirts can hug the body in the wrong places – but not this one – perfect shaping!  Most of that shaping is provided just by changing needle sizes – it’s a miracle in itself!  Stop by Yarn Designers Boutique to choose your favorite organic cotton color and we’ll help you customize your pattern to fit your figure!
Louisa Harding Romantic Bohemian Sweater
Bohemian ruffles and gathers introduce this fun Fall colored outfit.  The two-tone orange and brown sweater is a Louisa Harding English design and knit by Gena Hester.   The yarn is also Louisa’s “Jasmine” – a cotton blend with just a tiny bit of sparkle to grab your eye.   The ruffles and sleeve shaping add such a detailed romantic touch.  Louisa loves details and even publishes books about how details can make or break a knitwear project.  When Gena found this skirt in her daughter’s clothing toss outs, she knew it was perfect for this developing sweater at the time – what a great combination with your favorite boots!  Yarn Designers Boutique is a store whose purpose is to inspire today’s knit and crochet enthusiasts.  We are located in Bear City on the Boulevard, just across from the airport.  Drop by to see us soon – you’ll be glad you did!

This was the fifth year Yarn Designers Boutique has participated in the Chamber Auxiliary’s annual charity Fashion Show.  Again we enjoyed ourselves so much.  Thank you Katy Strand and Pat Holt for your wonderful and gracious modeling and Lisa Movius for hair and makeup styling.  We’re a great team!  I look forward to next Fall’s show and am already planning my outfits!

Lacy Drop Stitch Scarf

So normally, the last thing you want to do is drop a stitch. Well, with this lacy scarf that’s exactly what you want to do! Dropping a stitch is harder than you may think, it takes awhile to work the stitches out all the way down the scarf. This technique creates a beautiful ladder all the way through the scarf giving the scarf almost a woven look.

This technique can be used for anything from knitted curtains to let a bit of light through. Or to a plain sweater pattern to jazz it up, you can even drop the stitch different lengths down the sweater  to create a design (at the end of the ‘run’ just sew it with matching thread to keep it from running further). To get started with the technique try our latest scarf pattern.

Drop Stitch Sock yarn scarfWhat you will need:

400-500 yards sock weight striping yarn. Sample is 2 skeins Mary Maxim Gemstones color #21 Peridot variegated sock yarn. (Or try Premier Yarns Wool-Free Sock Stripes, or Deborah Norville Serenity Garden Yarn for a silky satiny feel.)

Size 6 needles for main scarf, Size 9 for bind off or bind off very loosely.
9 safety pin type stitch markers

Before drop: 6 ½” X 59” After drop: 8 ¼” X 62”

28 stitches = 4” Gauge is not all that important for this project.

Buy this pattern online $5 or get the pattern free when you buy the yarn from us!

Herringbone Ruffled Cowl

I find the Herringbone stitch pretty interesting because it looks more like woven fabric, than knit. Some people would even say it looks crocheted! It’s only a 2 row repeat so it gets easier as you do it.

Yarn:Herringbone Ruffle scarf
Super Bulky weight 80 to 90 yds. I chose Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick 1 skein 87 yds). New color Marble (black accent on white and grey) makes for an interesting repeat pattern for the cowl. You might also try Sandstone which has the creams and grey.

Size 19 US short needles Size 15 US short needles 3 complementary buttons

About 5 Herringbone “V’s” to 4”
Finished size before ruffle: 7” by 25”
Using your favorite method, cast on 20 stitches.

You can wear this with the collar up or down for effect!

Gena’s Summer Beaded Neck Scarf

Beaded Scarf

I have to admit this project happened when a customer brought in her own scarf to show me and get some of my help. I was intrigued enough to learn a new technique while two of us figured it out. Then I went from there.

First I needed to find a durable yarn that could handle many beads being strung on and pushed down the skein as they were knit on without fraying or damaging the yarn. It also needed to be closer to a DK or light weight and be soft for the neck and kind of summery in texture. From my vast selection I picked a new yarn, Elsebeth Lavold’s “Hempathy”. This yarn is made from Hemp, Cotton and Modal. So you ask what is Modal? This is definitely a “Green” yarn as all fibers have been grown! Modal is made from Beech wood chips! Our colors are rich and Susan has brought in a great selection of size 6.0 beads that match our nice yarn colors. You will only need 1 skein of yarn but many beads – I’ll catch you up later on just how many.

Choosing a sturdy yarn

Choosing a sturdy yarn

There are several techniques incorporated in this scarf which make it a nice small project to start with. One of the things that happens when you add beads to a knitted project is that it becomes quite heavy and drapes down rather than floating so I knew this project should be a shorter, small, neck type scarf.

Beads draping down

Beads draping down

Then I thought I could add the keyhole opening so that the scarf would stay in one place. I think this rounds it out nicely. So my first scarf is done and if you watch the video below you can see the basic technique for starting the scarf and continuing to knit on the beads.

Feza Project Update

I am so excited about our new shipment of Feza yarn, I decided I really had to get you some information on my blog.  Some of you remember that I let our stock completely sell out last year as I was so overwhelmed with what to choose for my next orders, that I just didn’t reorder.  So when I went to San Diego TNNA Market in January, I knew I must give this line serious consideration as their yarns are so unusual and beautiful.   This year I restocked Alp Premier and Alp Dazzle in many new colors as well as last year’s most popular.  These yarns are bulky weight and dressy with a new strand being tied in every 15 to 18 yards.  Some are bumpy, some are shiny, some are fluffy, and many are ribbons, which gives wonderful color and texture variation.Premier Sweater

This is a sweater in “Alp Premier”

This year I added Alp Oriental which is Super Bulky with 3 strands being tied together each 15 to 18 yards.  It creates a more casual, Bohemian look – I’m finding that I have to keep at least one project going at all times with the Oriental.  My projects so far are a matching crocheted hat and scarf from one ball, a knitted triangle shawl from one ball plus 2 coordinating balls of Lion Brand Fettuccini to lower costs, and now I’m working on Nancy Bocuzzi’s “Rounded Shawl” knitted on size 35 circular needles with just 1 ball.  If you go to the rounded shawl is on the left center (in Alp Oriental) and Alp Oriental is the shawl on the right center.

Nancy (Feza's Designer) has promised me this pattern soon! This is pretty wild but there are many more color ranges that aren't so wild. I am doing my Rounded Shawl in Color #7 which has a camel background with other colors popping out - much calmer.It's not easy getting these pictures in here. Criss is much better at this. I'll keep trying!Gena's Oriental Sideways

Working this program is such a maze!  Anyway, please come into the shop to touch and feel!  I think you’ll like!  Coming up next – my finished “Rounded Shawl”.  Stay tuned.  Gena

Hyuna Releases “Run & Run” MV Made Up Of BTS Footage That Is Stupidly Superior To “Roll Deep”

hyuna run and run 23423432

Well, for those of you who were disappointed by Hyuna’s comeback “Roll Deep” and its total lack of everything that made her comeback teaser awesome, the Queen of Trolling Concerned Netizens has released a new MV for the (much better) intro track “Run & Run” that milks old production footage for every last click and cent masterfully makes use of some behind the scenes footage from the making of Hyuna’s latest mini-album.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL COMEBACK. The location shots are so much more varied and interesting than the flat, neon mess that plagued “Roll Deep.” The intro’s slower, methodical pace works much better with Hyuna’s rapping and the sing-songy nature of the outro allows her to display more versatility than her actual comeback did in more than twice the amount of time.

Also, Hyuna somehow (impossibly) looks even better in “Run & Run” than she does in “Roll Deep,” even though the former is made up of editing room floor scraps and the latter was (presumably) planned, edited and polished by professionals. It’s as if Cube Entertainment recognized everything that was off about “Roll Deep” and excised all of it for this album intro music video.  I suppose it’s better late than never.

PhonoPaper for iOS/Android – Graphical sound generator and writer

Created by Alexander Zolotov, and based based on the unique Russian synthesizer ANS by Evgeny Murzin, PhonoPaper is a format of graphical representation of the sound (music, human voice, etc.); in other words, it is the 2D audio barcode (by analogy with the QR-code). The app, available for both iOS and Android is also a real-time PhonoPaper-code reader (using the camera).

PhonoPaper app allows code generator (sound to image converter) so the messages in print format can be re-read by the software. PhonoPaper-code is analogue, so it is not so sensitive to different types of the image distortion (bad camera, dark picture, wrinkled paper, etc.). Likewise, PhonoPaper-code can be drawn by hand (paper version of the Virtual ANS synth). You can leave coded voice messages (or pieces of music) on the billboards, posters, postcards, goods. You can also create audio labels for phono records or leave audio examples in textbooks, secret messages, art-experiments and of course learn the basics of the spectral music.

Aural Achitecture/ Play the Building

David Byrne, Francis Alys and Philip Glass used architectural structures or furniture as a musical instrument. Noises came from physical action, which triggered the vibration and resonance of materials. According to this idea, I created a series of aural art pieces to simulate the interaction between the action of people and space. Different materials and sounds reveal diverse sense: cold, warm, soft, and intimate. As with all sensory aspects of architecture, cultural values and social functions determine the experiential consequences of spatial attributes. John cage manipulated silence to arouse people with the ordinary sound or noise in our life; Philip Glass mentioned the unit of noise could be arranged as sound pieces or rhythms, combined in regular arithmetic progressions (Glass, 1967). Therefore, base on their theories, my project aims to discover the sound around us. Through the actions such as touch, knock, these slightly noises let people observe the hidden details in our routine life.

This small mechanism that can control the speed of tapping and trigger the noises. It might create more dynamic tempo. This device connects to surfaces of objects, and it can be knocked. People can play the furniture in the room, stationery on tables, transforming the space into a percussion instrument. In this device, I manipulated interactive circuit board – Arduino, to control the device and transmission the signal via computer. Six solenoids create beats, and potentiometers control the speed; create diverse rhythm.

SmogShoppe wedding

Sandy & D's SmogShoppe wedding. Photo: Nancy Neil Photography

Sandy & Dararith’s amazing Cambodian wedding is currently featured on Once Wed — one of my favorite wedding blogs! It’s posted as three entries: A Cambodian Wedding, A Cambodian Wedding II, and A Cambodian Wedding III.

I was so inspired by the bold, beautiful Cambodian colors and SmogShoppe’s eclectic style. Take a peek at the photos and you’ll be inspired too!

Indian Themed Wedding

Nadine’s sister is having an Indian themed wedding. As the maid-of-honor, she requested a dramatic look that’s not overdone. We used some gorgeous jewel tone greens to play up her eyes, and gave her skin a glowy, sun-kissed look that complements the vibrant colors she’ll be wearing.

These are some shots of Crissy, who had a bridal shower garden party — such a cute idea! We decided on a color palette to match her beautiful flower arrangements of California poppies and purple daisies. The result is a very flirty look that suits her spunky personality perfectly.

Last weekend, I was the makeup artist at Sandy & D’s big, phat Cambodian wedding at SmogShoppe in Los Angeles! The wedding consisted of a two-part Cambodian ceremony with a western wedding twist.

One of the challenges was to create a color palette that would work with the bride’s colorful Cambodian costumes as well as her western wedding dress. We decided to use a neutral palette that would complement all of the clothing ensembles, as well as her gorgeous red hair.

The result: An extremely natural look with impact! Beyond looking glamorous in person, the makeup photographed extremely well — the look a lasting memory.

A Simple Guide to Family Worship

June 4, 2011

[This article is not unique, as it is distilled from larger works for the use of my beloved people, with certain adjustments. Download PDF]

A Simple Guide to Family Worship

“Because the Christian is not his own, but bought with a price, he is to aim at glorifying God in every relation of life. No matter what station he occupies, or wherever he be, he is to serve as a witness for Christ. Next to the church of God, his own home should be the sphere of his most manifest devotedness unto Him. All its arrangements should bear the stamp of his heavenly calling. All its affairs should be so ordered that everyone entering it should feel ‘God is here!’ ” – A. W. Pink

I would like to set before you briefly the Biblical reasons and a few guidelines for family worship. Sadly, it seems that few Christians can remember having daily family worship times in their homes. Yet the thought of beginning this new pattern of worship can be daunting for those just beginning. This guide is written to address some of the most basic questions concerning family worship. I pray that you will feel more emboldened and more equipped to lead your family in worship through using this guide.

Our 1689 Baptist Confession highlights, “…God is to be worshipped everywhere in spirit and in truth: as in private families daily…which are not carelessly nor wilfully to be neglected or forsaken…” (22:6)

What does the Bible say about Family Worship?

The importance of the home in discipleship is prominent throughout the Scriptures, which includes Family Worship. In the Old Testament, we read that discipleship is something ongoing, throughout the day: (Deut. 6:6-7). More formal instruction is seen in passages such as Ps. 78:5-7.

In the New Testament, fathers are given the command to bring their children up in the nurture and admonition (i.e. discipline and instruction) of the Lord (Eph. 6:4). Timothy a disciple of Paul was discipled first by his mother, Eunice and his grandmother, Lois (2 Tim 1:5). In summary, family worship in the Bible is rooted in the idea of responsibility. Parents, especially fathers, are primarily responsible for the spiritual instruction and vitality of their families. We must also take special note, that the Lord openly rebukes the families who do not offer up worship in their homes, (Jer. 10:25). The 80 year old Joshua announced to all Israel, “As for me and my house we will serve [also means in Hebrew, worship] the LORD” (Josh. 24:15).

What are the Benefits of Family Worship?

Family worship brings glory to God. God is most glorified when His people value Him above all other things. Family worship is a visible reminder for all in the home that God is worthy of our time, attention, and affection. Furthermore, family worship glorifies God as His followers are conformed more and more into the image of Christ. The love of Christ will more easily abound in a home where worship is central. Through it we demonstrate that, as well as worshipping God privately and in the gathered assembly, we also worship God as a family. Taking the longer view, think about the incredible value of family worship in the lives of children once they are grown. They’ve heard thousands of passages read and explained, seen God answer countless prayers, sung so many songs of the faith and memorized more Scripture than many Christians do in a lifetime. This is a foundation that will stand the test of time and will bear gospel fruit in generations to come.

Who should Participate in Family Worship?

The participants are all who constitute a particular family. In other words, it may mean a young husband and wife without children, or an older couple whose children have already left home. It includes both believing and unbelieving spouses (as much as possible), and certainly family worship can be led by a single parent (Acts 16:1). It is to include all of the children who are at home regardless of their ages. All can derive great spiritual benefit, even the very young and this also helps to train our children to participate in our corporate gatherings of worship together. By just listening and watching, they are learning the priority of worship in their lives. Remember that the practice of family worship could blossom into the very instrument that brings them to Christ (2 Tim 3:15).

Key Elements of Family Worship

Worshipping with Scripture:

The Word of God is to be central in family worship. Our goal should be to help the members of our family to develop a love for God’s Word with the hope that they will begin to live upon every word of it. Do this by reading of the Bible methodically, and by wisely dividing sections of verses to read each day. Also with this include, Scripture memory and review, i.e. repetition of key verses over and over till learnt.

Worshipping in Prayer:

We are to teach our children to pray not only by example from the very words we use in our prayers, but also by supplying them with the information to be prayed about. Pray often for the needs of your family and extended family (especially the unsaved), for the needs of families in your local congregation, the spiritual needs of our nation, the persecuted church, missionaries, and for the dire needs of a lost world (both locally and internationally). The list is endless. This illustrates to our children our dependence upon God in every aspect of our lives. The Church Members’ Prayer Diary might be helpful here.

Worshipping in Praise:

The Lord is to be worshipped in songs of praise. In family worship we should lead our family in singing to the Lord because He is pleased when we praise Him! The Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs which are often sung in the public worship services of our church should be sung. Aim to memorize Psalms and Hymns as a family. This could be done by repeating the same praise each day until you can all sing them without the use of the hymnbook. You can then move on to the next, but remember to go back and review the previously memorized songs. This will be great help for the children to participate in public worship, and in any place you may be without your hymnbooks!

Time of Day:

In a general sense, family worship should be going on all the time in a spiritually healthy home (Deut. 6:6-9). It is crucial to have a specific regular time, which fits each particular family’s daily schedule. The key is to make it part of your family’s daily schedule to show that family worship of the Lord together is a priority in the home.

Some families worship each morning and evening, others have one specific time. However, whenever you might decide to worship God as a family each day, it should normally include reading, prayer and praise.

Finally, be flexible especially when children are younger, or when visitors and unconverted people who are not used to Family Worship visit your home. Yet do not neglect it, but use it as a means of witnessing and showing the reality of your walk with God. Always look for ways to make this time of worship meaningful and edifying to the family by being prepared and reading on the subject.

If you have any questions or need help or resources in getting started, please speak with the Pastor.

May the Lord bless you in your daily worship.

We will not hide them from [our] children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.” (Ps. 78:4-7)

Thy Word O LORD is Good Indeed

December 14, 2010

A poem by one of our young ladies, Miss Hollie Wilkinson.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It is our guide to life through grace.
It teaches us and lights our paths,
It shows the glory of Thy face.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It tells us how the world began.
That all that Thou didst make was good,
And in Thine image formedst Thou man.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It tells us how we lost our way.
How we rebelled against our God,
And so we sin unto this day.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It teaches us Thy sovereign law.
Which in our sin we daily break,
And our obedience still is poor.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed
It shows that there is hope for some
The prophets tell us of a man
The Mighty God, to earth would come

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It tells us of our Saviour’s birth.
A mediator to redeem,
His people throughout all the earth.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
That very Saviour came to die.
Endured the wrath of a just God,
To save poor sinners such as I.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It shows us death has lost its sting.
The grave no more has victory,
For Jesus rose and He is King.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It teaches us that we can claim.
No righteousness before our God,
And we must call on Jesus’ name.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It shows that Thou hast named Thine own.
Before the world began and they,
Are justified by faith alone.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It shows that when the world is done.
The Judge will bring our deeds to light,
As we all kneel before His throne.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
It shows Thy justice will prevail.
The wicked will be turned away,
Their words will be to none avail.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
For those who’ve lived their lives for Thee.
Will welcomed be with open arms,
And will be Thine eternally.

Thy Word, O Lord, is good indeed,
Its author well deserves our praise.
I pray, O Lord, for gifts of grace,
To love Thee and Thy Word always.

Afghan Christian Fellowship – An Urgent Letter

June 19, 2010

Letter to the Body of Christ around the world, written by members of the Afghan Christian community on June 9, 2010:

To the Body of Christ:

This letter is written by the Afghan Christian Community in New Delhi, India which is a small community of 150 Afghan Christian refugees and asylum seekers.

We left our country because we were sentenced to death on the account of our Christian faith (conversion), as Afghanistan is a Muslim Country, the Afghan Government is an Islamic government, and Islam is the only formal religion of the country, and according to the Constitutional law of the Afghan Islamic Republic, conversion is considered as a big crime, Christian are called pagans and infidels and are sentenced to death by the Afghan Government. Christians are considered criminals. Death penalty is waiting for all those who want to leave the darkness and come to the true light, repent from their sins, and put their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Lord and Savior of all human being.

We believe that you (the Body of Christ) have already heard that some pictures and movies of the Afghan believers (from Delhi and Kabul) were shown by an Afghan Private TV (Noorin TV), this TV channel showed these picture in a especial program (Sarzameen Man), and the Government and people were encouraged and provoked to think about the issue of conversion, to make a stand against it and to take serious and practical measures and actions to destroy Afghan Converted Christians (Sons of God) and those who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Lost.

The Afghan Parliament, Senate, Religious Council and Islamic Parties and leaders made statements that the Afghan Government has to search, find, arrest, deliver to courts and executes all Afghan Christians, and the Christian NGOs and Organization have to be stopped too. University students protested against Afghan Christians in Kabul and Herat Provinces, and the Afghan Government also made a statement that all Afghan Christians will be arrested and executed, and the Christian NGOs and Organizations which involved with the issues of conversion will be closed.

Mr. Mujajdi the Chairman Of Afghan Senate said that if the Afghan Government does not take serious action, he and other Islamic leaders will call and request the Afghan people to take practical measures to kill all Afghan Christians. President Karzai himself showed his personal interest in this regard and said that all Afghan Christians will be arrested and executed and Christian organizations which are involved with this issue will be stopped. He ordered the Afghan security organs to take serious measures in this regard. The Afghan Home Minister and the Chairman of the Afghan Intelligence told  the Afghan Parliament that 4 Afghan Christian individuals and one family have been arrested and they are under investigation, 13 NGOs have been named and suspended, the names of Afghan Christians have been listed, and the Afghan Intelligence agency is trying to arrest them. Two Church organizations by the names of WCA and NCA have been closed.  As we are in contact with our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan, many believers are arrested, our houses are checked by police and intelligence people in Afghanistan, our families and parents (though they are Muslim) are under investigation and even arrested, and all Afghan believers are misplaced.

  1. So, We (Afghan Christian Community) along with our other Afghan Christian brothers and sisters who are in Afghanistan request you to:
  2. Please pray for us and for this critical situation, pray for those who are arrested, and those who are under investigation.Please come together and help your Afghan brothers and sisters in Christ, as we are sentenced to death, we are arrested, we are under investigation, the Afghan Government kills us because we believe on Jesus Christ, we know that we should consider it pure joy when we suffer (James 1: 1 -4), and we are enjoying all suffering all joy. But we also know that faith without deeds is useless (James 2: 14 – 17), and this is the time to raise your voice for your brothers and sisters, for our children, for our old parents, for the execution of thousand Afghan believers. This is the day that all of us should come together and pray, think, help and raise our voices to the International Community, to put pressure on the Afghan Government to stop killing, persecuting and executing Afghan Christians, to give us freedom of religion, to respect and accept us as Afghan Christians.
  3. We do not know how the whole world and especially the Global Church is silent and closing their eyes, while thousand of their brothers and sisters (Body of Christ) are in pain, facing life danger and death penalty, and are tortured, persecuted and called criminals because they believe in the Truth.

We need to wake up, get up and speak up today, and to prove it that we are really in concern, and care for our brothers and sisters in Christ, we should help the persecuted part of the body of Christ, for His Glory. If we really believe that Lord Jesus Christ is God, then, He commands us to love Him and to love our neighbor, if our own brothers and sisters, are in pain and suffering, and we are silent and we ignore them and their suffering, then the question is that do we really obey Lord Jesus’s commandment to  love Him and our neighbor?

So, dear brothers and sister (the Body of Christ), we (Afghan Christian Community in New Delhi) on behalf of all Afghan Christians request you to support us by your prayers and practical measures, let us tell the Afghan Government that we are not pagans and infidels, we are not criminals because of our Christian faith, and let us tell them not to sentence us to death.

May God bless you!

How to Destroy Your Family and Church

April 14, 2010

Listed below are a number of verses that I have been meditating on.  They all deal with the sins of the tongue, especially in relation to gossip.  God’s Word declares clearly that the Lord hates the sin of talebearing and gossip.  It is an abomination in His sight.

The sad but realistic truth is that, this great evil has become respectable, and thought of as a lesser sin. It is relegated to the secondary sins, begining in families and then happily practiced among church members and ministers at home, on the phone, on Skype, on blog sites, facebook and other social networking places.

When our children/church members hear the parents/ministers in the home, they follow their footsteps in gossiping.  This has a deadening effect upon family relationships, and the Church of God, for which Christ died.  Also, this is one of the fastest way of destroying the local church and family relationships, and to diminish the fellowship among God’s people.

With pain I have seen this being done quite effectively among the families and the churches of our Lord.  When you look at the life of the talebearers, the gossips and the murmurers, you see a man or woman who is miserable.  Sin does not produce real happiness, neither in this world, nor the world to come.  The Word of God has an answer in the method of dealing with sin, but Gossip is not the way.

Let the Word of God simply convict us.

Prov 20:19 – He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

Tit 3:2 – To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
Jam 4:11 – Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
1 Pet 2:1 – Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

Dabney on Political Compromise and Conservatives!

April 9, 2010

Some interesting insights from another generation. Robert L. Dabney being long buried in another country and context is yet speaking.  Much of what he says is very applicable to the current election rallies in the United Kingdom.

You can safely insert “Homosexual agenda” or “Same-sex Marriage” in place of “women’s rights” for the current British Conservative Party, and it will be true!

It may be inferred again that the present movement for women’s rights will certainly prevail from the history of its only opponent, Northern conservatism. This is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth, and has no idea of being guilty of the folly of martyrdom. It always, when about to enter a protest, very blandly informs the wild beast whose path it essays to stop, that its “bark is worse than its bite,” and that it only means to save its manners by enacting its decent role of resistance. The only practical purpose which it now subserves in American politics is to give enough exercise to Radicalism to keep it “in wind,” and to prevent its becoming pursy and lazy from having nothing to whip. No doubt, after a few years, when women’s suffrage shall have become an accomplished fact, conservatism will tacitly admit it into its creed, and thenceforward plume itself upon its wise firmness in opposing with similar weapons the extreme of baby suffrage; and when that too shall have been won, it will be heard declaring that the integrity of the American Constitution requires at least the refusal of suffrage to asses. There it will assume, with great dignity, its final position. – [Robert L. Dabney – Essay on Woman’s Rights.

Pastoral Confessions (2) – My Speech

April 9, 2010

The under-shepherd has been called at least in two ways.  Firstly, The internal calling unto salvation.  The union with Christ through His blood which has bought our soul back from the kingdom of darkness.  This radical translation!  Being called a Christian, a disciple and follower of Jesus of Nazareth, the carpenter.  What a privilege it is to be joined to Him, to be called sons of God.

Secondly, The high calling to the ministry of the gospel, the weekly preaching of Christ and Him crucified.  Being the under-shepherd of God’s people, and all that it entails.  Who is sufficient for these things?!

And then, with all of these privileges and responsibilities, I find that so much of my speech, conversation, words, and the thoughts before it is articulated into words to be of base nature.  Too much light conversation and words that are, empty, idle, vain, light.  Statements are made that have not been prayed over, that have not been thought through, without salt, without light, not salted with the gospel, not peppered with the savour of Christ and charity.  Too many words are used for self, and men, rather than Christ and God and His eternal kingdom.

I am too quick to speak, and slow to listen, and yet expect the opposite of others.  Family and friends are too familiar with the jesting words, and funny and quick humours words, rather than edifying and Christ-filled words, which imparts wisdom, counsel, help, encouragement, turth, loving rebuke and hope.

The ears of my wife, children, other pastors and Christian people, have become used to my idle words, and words that can be only described as gossip.  That great respectable sin, which is so wretched and heinous, and soul-damning.

My prayers have been most dry, and repetitious.  The lack of dwelling upon the character of God, has meant that I do not glorify Him in the sermons by the variety of God’s attributes.  The congregation has become familiar only with certain handful of often repeated phrases, adverbs, verbs, adjectives – in describing the glorious Persons of the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  The glorious gospel of Christ, has been reduced to a few clichés and empty phrases, without the force and the power of the Spirit.  Such words and speech are not worthy of the Christian, even less the minister of Christ.

Lord forgive and cleanse my tongue and speech, which is the commentary of a needy sinner’s heart.

If Firefox won't connect to the Internet, but another browser does, the problem could be with Windows Firewall, which may be blocking its access. If this isn't the problem, a rogue Firefox extension may be the culprit. If you use enhanced network security on a server, router or firewall, consult with your network administrator to see if the network might be blocking Firefox as well.

Windows Firewall

If Windows Firewall doesn't allow Firefox to connect to the Internet, you'll see a "Server Not Found" error when you try to go to a website. You can add Firefox as an allowed program by opening the Control Panel and then clicking "System Security." There you'll find the option to "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall." If Firefox is already listed as an allowed program, remove it from the list and then add it again as a new program.

Firefox Add-Ons

Firefox add-ons may sometimes interfere with the browser's ability to connect to the Internet. To see if this is the problem, reset Firefox. The reset button is on the Troubleshooting Information page available from the Help menu. This disables add-ons like themes and extensions without losing your user data. If Firefox connects after the reset, you can then enable the add-ons one at a time to isolate which one was causing the problem.

The first volume in The Carl Stalling Project series is a revelation; more than just an essential part of a Warner Bros. staff that generated some of the finest and most inspired productions in the history of animation, Stalling was a visionary whose work deserves consideration among the finest American avant-garde music ever recorded. As these 15 selections from WB cartoons dating between 1936 and 1958 attest, his cut and paste style — a singular collision between jazz, classical, pop, and virtually everything else in between — was unprecedented in its utter disregard for notions of time, rhythm, and compositional development; Stalling didn’t just break the rules, he made them irrelevant. That in the process he created music beloved by succeeding generations of children is more impressive still — perhaps even unwittingly, Stalling introduced the avant-garde into the mainstream, and as popular music continues to diversify and hybridize, his stature as a pioneer rightfully continues to grow.

The second volume of Carl Stallings’ inspired music ranges from 1939 to 1957, taking in most of the Warner Bros. animation characters along the way, and providing a solid musical reference for the latter-day cartoons with such characters as Speedy Gonzales, the Road Runner, and Wile E. Coyote. Rather than repeat the setup for the first album, which included full soundtrack pieces and carefully assembled montage tracks, the producers this time opted to go, for the most part, with the cleanest tracks they could find. Salted between full scores are excerpts and short bits, including Stallings’ mind-boggling variations on “La Cuchuracha” and “The Mexican Hat Dance” (which undergoes more and more dizzying twists as it goes on). Carl Stallings was quite the straight man of the animation crew, it seems, a dapper fellow who never missed an appointment, threw an assignment, or, apparently, got the joke. Despite this, he created some of the most wonderfully lunatic cartoon scores known, in which his own original score elements were tightly woven with lifts from classical and popular music — he could wring more laughter out of a single sustained violin glissando than many comedians could get from a complete set. It’s easy to predict that Stallings’ work will still be a subject of interest when the work of such contemporaries as Spike Jones and Kay Kyser has faded from view.

I put up some files there recently and I’m starting to wonder if they’re just going to delete them after a couple days. It says “The files are kept forever as long as they are being downloaded” in their About Us page, but I wonder if that only applies to paid accounts?

It sure is nice to use something with a clean interface that doesn’t bombard people with naked lady ads.

Think I’m going to hold off using it further to see if what I’ve uploaded is still there a week or two from now. Have you used it? Do you still have files up there from months ago? Do you have a membership? Etc.

Somebody earlier suggested an FTP site but I’m pretty sure that would get shut down unless I switched to majorly obscure/OOP stuff 100% of the time. Also, through mediafire alone this blog moves like 500gb/month. What would it cost if I was PAYING for that? I just put an AD FREE BLOG banner on here for a reason.

Organization Tips for Fashion Designers

Hey there,

It’s been a while, but here we are. This is the first of a new series that I noticed there wasn’t enough of on the net. As a part of the ‘Confessions if a Designer’ series, I thought this would be a good time to share — I’m not very good at organizing.

In my busy life, trying to put together work life and furthering my fashion career seems draining and since I’m thinking of school, I figured, why not start organizing my life? That is when I discovered the world of YouTube and organization.

It makes life easier.

The thing with YouTube organization that I love is that colors coordination makes wanting to be organized much bearable than ever before. Plus the hacks they use are pretty fun to watch. But the downside: no videos for aspiring fashion designers and students. That’s where this blog comes in.

As the first part of this series I thought I’d introduce you to something less hectic and more easily approachable: knowing yourself.

The first step to knowing yourself is being honest with yourself, which I’m also not good at, but I try to take mental notes of what people may say of my personality, though I may not always readily agree with them.

Being a friendly outspoken person is one thing and being an introvert is another. I’m a bit of both. I enjoy the company of people and love socializing, but I’m not one to go out of my way to do that. If I could I’d stay home all day. I find enjoyment and peace of mind in solitude.

If you aspire to be a designer of any sort, you must know that intermingling with people is a must and that showcasing enthusiasm in things you love is a plus. And its also okay to be an introvert as long you’re pleasant and kind, you’ll go a far way.
