Waffles for Brunch

I’m sure you’ve seen that brunches have become very fashionable these days – who does breakfast and lunch separately when you can go for the cool menu and have something special (and instagrammable?)

I’ll admit I love the idea of brunches – it’s more filling than breakfast and usually prettier than a lunch. And here’s another thing – it’s usually cheaper than going for lunch but still comes in decent portions! Having said that. one of the things I’ve always said about living in London (and enjoying a social life in London!) is that it can be pricey – eating out can add up and sometimes it isn’t always worth it.

One of the things I am starting to do more is make quality food at home where I can make something easy, and understand how to put it together. This is a waffle and fruity brunch my friend made for me when I visited her recently (we even melted chocolate and poured it over as artistically as we could, which wasn’t much), which we sat for a little while and enjoyed some banter – it was filling, cheap and best of all we didn’t need to go out in the cold at all!

La Belle Sauvage – A Watery Adventure

Philip Pullman’s latest The Book of Dust trilogy come after a long period, 17 years after the original His Dark Materials epic story was released, along with all the  controversies and praise that it brought with it. And it’s not surprising really – there’s layers of complex ideas about theology, science, magic and just great story-telling which makes it so much more than a children’s story. Having said, that, when Pullman announced this latest prequel-slash-sequel trilogy, starting with La Belle Sauvage, I knew I’d have to re-read the first books before I could get started on this one because I wanted to get a sense of context to follow on from.

I’m glad I did re-read it all – there’s a lot of things I had forgotten about (is it just me, or are there just some books out there which are different with every reading? Sign of a good book, I say). There’s also a lot of technological, science-y and theological things which I’m sure went over my head when I read it as a 13-year-old, and which made a lot more sense to me now after reading HDM. It’s fascinating to see how many strands which make up the whole story; the idea of dark matter and Dust, of love, of the concept of dæmons and soul as well as the more biblical side to it all (whether literal or metaphorical) which entwine to stand together behind the vibrant character of Lyra Belacqua and her dæmon.

So one of the first things I would say is if you don’t remember the HDM trilogy, I’d recommend a read – you could read La Belle Sauvage to start off with (as it is a prequel, technically) but things make a lot more sense when reading the His Dark Materials trilogy first. The story of La Belle Sauvage follows a young protagonist a lot like the first trilogy, and set in ‘Lyra’s Oxford’ – plucky young Malcolm and his dæmon Asta, caught up in espionage, secrets and the oppression of the authoritarian Church and its oppressive rules. For the first time, we see the mechanisms behind the events leading to Lyra’s adventures, as well as creating an interesting back story to a few familiar characters.

Malcolm is a young, intelligent, curious boy who helps his parents at their tavern, has adventures on his boats, is friends with the local nuns and scholars. Things begin to change when he hears about the nuns looking after a baby named Lyra Belacqua, and when he sees a strange man drop a message on the ground, only to pick it up and get mixed up with a whirlwind of secrets and shady characters.

I won’t give too much away, but I will say that although the start of the story drags on a little, it is still a good read. I can see that the author didn’t want to make it too similar to Lyra’s adventures in HDM, and that details are need to establish a different story, but it felt a little stale at times . Malcolm and his life at school, working in the tavern with his parents and sailing his little boat seems a little too ‘Boys’ Own’ style at times, and there were a few parts which dragged a little.

Contrastly, just as the first half drags, there is a flood introduced to the story which requires Malcolm and his boat (sounds biblical at all?), the second half is almost chaotic and slightly confusing at times. Malcolm discovers a lot of new, fantastic things and worlds which almost feel hallucinogenic and pretty surreal, with several characters which feel like they came out of fairy tales – but in the context of the larger story, it is a hint at the idea of alternative worlds and the idea of magic.

What makes Pullman’s stories work are that they are cleverly written, and the characters are interesting. There’s no annoying obvious ‘mysteries’ (which we all guess pages before) and there’s enough of the fantasy to keep us gripped to the pages. Reading La Belle Sauvage felt like a nice throwback to my younger years, and it was interesting to be back in Lyra’s Oxford, with new characters and more intrigue. It’s certainly readable for adults, and this start to the new trilogy is certainly noticeably darker and violent, to emphasis how terrifying this world can be. Malcolm is pretty likeable in the story, although I will admit that I am a little worried that Pullman is tempted to re-write a couple of things to make them fit conveniently into HDM. Some characters such as Lord Asriel and Mrs Coulter, both strong characters feel a little less charismatic however – however i have heard one argument that this could be because we are seeing them from Malcolm’s perspective.

Despite the slightly messy second half of the story (which was interesting despite it being a little crazy) I am looking forward to the next installment of this trilogy though. I love books which do world-building well, and especially it will be interesting because it seems that Lyra herself will be continuing her adventures as an adult – and it will certainly be interesting to see if she crosses over to our world ever again!

Glow Trees in Liverpool Street

My sister and I came across these lovelies a few weeks ago in Broadgate, next to Liverpool Street station – beautiful glow trees. The art installation is called Lumen, part of artist David Ogle’s collection called Light Traces, and designed to make us stop from our busy lives and appreciate the environment around us, by enjoying the bursts of colour in the dark after a short winter day.

One of the things that I liked about these pretty trees was how cheerful and calming they look, and how nice it is to walk around and bask in the coloured lights. It’s striking how simple the trees look together, and yet when you look a little closer and see how the different pieces are fixed together, it’s surprising how much more complex it actually is.

This art piece will be up in Broadgate until 22nd February 2018, so if you’re around then take a quick look, it’s a nice place to stop and admire for a little while.

Happy New Year!….2018, New Year, Same Me

Happy (belated! Okay, three weeks late) New Year guys!

I’ve been MIA for a little while, mostly because I wanted to switch off and take a break from blogging. And also because I got a little addicted to binge-watching Netflix series and posting on Instagram, so generally being fairly productive. But at the back of my mind there’s a little nagging voice that’s been telling me to go and update my blog, so here I am pretending I was here all along 🙂

I also wanted to spend some time gathering my ideas – I am definitely starting to go towards the trend of quality posts over quantity (this pretty much applies to most things in my life) and I’m seeing so many new niches, ideas and dialogues which I’m finding inspiring. So watch this space, I’ve already been doodling and drafting posts at work whenever I’m struck by an idea, so hopefully there’s some pretty interesting content coming soon.

So even though I’m a little late in posting, here’s wishing you all a productive, beautiful new year, with something a little different to inspire you everyday : )

The Grand Details of Leadenhall Market

I recently found myself walking through the beautiful, 14th century Leadenhall Market which is located near Tower Hill. I didn’t realise that the actual market doesn’t run on weekends, so got the chance to see the ornate walls and arches up close and while it was quiet.

There’s something beautiful, yet eerie about walking through these halls – you can see just how much history it carries, and the grandness of it all encapsulates the beauty perfectly. Apparently the Market is situated in the centre of what was Roman London – which just shows that it is so much more than a market or a walkway to it all.

If you’re around the area, I’d recommend a visit through the grand halls of Leadenhall Market so you can explore and feel the weight of the history, and to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere as you walk along.

Floral Cabanas at Coppa Club

I’ve been hearing (and seeing) a lot about the Coppa Club beautiful cabanas (especially after they had some very cosy igloos in the wintertime for customers!), and took the chance to go there recently with a couple of friends to try some lunch there on a warm day. The restaurant is situated next to Tower Hill, and has a perfect view of the River Thames and its various buildings, so unsurprisingly, it was extremely busy and most of the tables were taken!

We didn’t get to spend long in the cabanas as they were all booked up, but the staff did let us sit in one for a short while, until we were moved to our proper table. The hanging flowers looked beautiful, and made us feel like we were in a secret garden – a really lovely atmosphere.

As for the food, we ordered some light lunch – a salmon and cress toast, a watermelon salad and a fruity trifle with some mocktail drinks. The food was not bad, but I did think it was slightly pricey for what we got – I imagine this is due to the prime location of the restaurant. The salmon was pretty standard, but the dessert was nice – the only thing I was a little disappointed with were the drinks, which didn’t have anything special about them.

I’ve been meaning to go Coppa Club for a while now since they’ve had the cabanas, and it was lovely to sit and enjoy the view. However I will say that it was very, very busy which definitely affected the customer service – we asked the staff several times for a few things and they just never came back to us, or said they would speak to the manager and then didn’t give us an answer. One of the things we wanted was to change our tables, as we were seated in a very uncomfortable spot under a very hot sun, but despite asking for over 45 mins if we could change, we never got another table and eventually just left after we ate. For me, this affected the experience pretty negatively, which made me feel like the hype wasn’t enough for the quality of food and customer service you get.

One of the things which is on the rise is beautiful looking food, flat-lays and pretty restaurants, especially with food bloggers and Instagram making everything look so appealing. My experience here has warned me not to always believe the hype – it may look pretty in the pictures but sometimes it might not be as amazing as it looks!

PRICE : £10 UPWARDS FOR light lunch, £15-30 FOR LUNCH
LOCATION: 3 Three Quays Walk, Lower Thames St, London EC3R 6AH

WALALA X PLAY at Now Gallery, Greenwich

I recently visited a very fun art gallery at Now Gallery in Greenwich, featuring WALALA X PLAY – a mirror maze of colours, stripes, polka dots and angles  created by digital print designer Camille Walala, and involves having to walk around, explore and look at the different patterns and colours. I love interactive art exhibits like this, which means we get to participate in such a simple way, and which everyone can enjoy in their own way.

The exhibit is in an interesting Pop Art 3D style, and encourages visitors to look at light, colours, reflections, shapes and playfulness, and is meant to give us a view of the human self, so that as we engage we come away with an experience which is influenced by the art.

If you’re around the area, I’d recommend a visit – it’s free and nice for a quick half hour of fun. The exhibition is on until 24th of September though, so hurry!

Our Eid …. Sweets Overdose and Pretty Dresses!

Just thought I’d post a few peeps of our Eid last weekend, which was a lovely affair with family, lots of food and little ones rushing around enjoying themselves most out of everyone!

I feel like I’ve been taking less and less photos each Eid, so these don’t feel like a proper representation of our Eid but it’s a nice sample – lots of pretty clothes, an overdose of good food and sweets, and lots of laughs – just the way we like it : )

A Bend-y Body

Over the last eight-or-so-months, I’ve lost sixty-plus pounds – not to shabby, eh? I did, however, lose about 20 of that in about 20 minutes once my son was born 😉

I haven’t really achieved any fitness ideal though. I’m not terribly unhappy with my current shape or size but I was getting used to being so much more before baby number two. I’m able to squeeze in some moderate exercise ( I’ve accepted it will be a bit further into the future before I can resume my gym rat ways ) but I have this nagging urge to flex, bend and twist! Start fixing to do it and uggghhhh…. Stinging! Burning! Pulling!

Resting in a stretch with elbows under knees at our former – cramped – apartment in 2010. Apologies for the ancient looking photo 🙂

A dream of mine in recent years was to offer ‘flexibility training’ – for fitness, for athletes. I would often strike up a conversation with folks at the gym who were intrigued by my thorough stretching – I am no yogi – I just think most bendy people probably don’t practice at the gym. Most of my ‘flexibility training’ came from a young lifetime of soccer and from my various coaches. Through the years it became a daily practice; never did I exercise without stretching. My form may not be perfect as I have never formally trained in any respect; I choose to continue a stretch if it feels good and discontinue / alter a stretch if it doesn’t… Listening to my body… Learning what makes it happy… I have been quite flexible; all with practice of course. Initially, it was a regimen. But as each stretch became easier to hold for extended time I found myself adjusting slightly to the nearest muscle and would start there at my next practice. Over time I developed a way to pull each muscle and thoroughly enjoyed each practice, stretching usually for at least an hour, sometimes two, most nights (after The Boy was in bed).

Lying in a stretch – photo snapped by my husband in 2010.

Once The Baby formed his little body in mine, exhaustion forced my hand, and though I bought/borrowed many a pregnancy yoga DVD, I was too exhausted to care after working full time and generally single parenting The Boy since The Man was working 60 plus hours in a week. Eight months later now, I thought I’d at least be close to be former bendy body. But it seems I forgot what little time is available with newborns around 🙂

I have decided to make a commitment! (!!!)

Instead of just hoping I’ll “have time later”, I am going to make time! I am going to give myself thirty days to make some progress. I will commit to stretching every other day and will have my photographer (a.k.a. My Sissy) catalog where I am throughout.

I am fed up with finding the time to sneak to the gym but being to embarrassed about my straining to stretch in front of others.

I am tired of feeling locked into place.

So ready for the freeing of my limbs. Ready to feel each muscle gently lengthen again.

I’ve just got to persevere past that initial burn to unlock happiness!

Wish me luck!

FYI Water Protectors: Governor Dayton is Holding Water Quality Town Hall Meetings

Governor Mark Dayton and Lt. Gov. Tina Smith have organized ten town hall meetings around the state giving Minnesotans an opportunity to discuss the water quality challenges, learn from experts, and engage with policymakers. The goal is to spur collaboration and action to improve Minnesota’s water quality 25 percent by 2025.

This is another opportunity for those opposed to the expanded tar sands pipeline through northern Minnesota (Enbridge Line 3) to engage with state leaders and make your voices heard. A major tar sands pipeline spill would set water quality back significantly. Enbridge, a Canadian oil transportation company, has proposed abandoning an existing and failing pipeline (Line 3) and installing a new and larger pipeline, including a partial reroute. The proposed route would cut right through the Mississippi headwaters region as well as prime wild ricing areas. (For more background, click here.)

Here are the cities and dates for the Town Hall meetings.

Blood Donation for Dummies

I got an email yesterday about a blood drive going on here at Northwestern. I've never given blood before, but it seems like a good, charitable thing to do, so I think I'm going to see if I can make it. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to all this -- I don't even know my own blood type -- so I thought I'd do some research. Are there risks? How much positive impact would my act of giving blood have?

I turned first to the Red Cross website, since they're the organization holding the blood drive. Before getting too invested in this, I went through their laundry list of eligibility requirements to make sure I could actually give blood. The requirements are interesting in that they seem very lax with regard to some health concerns -- being on antibiotics or having an STD, for instance, are generally OK, which surprised me. In other areas, however, there are a number of very pointed questions to make sure that absolutely no infected blood gets by. Mad Cow disease and HIV/AIDS are particularly dangerous. The Red Cross are experts, I'm not, and it's evident that they have public safety in mind, but it still seems that some of the constraints are a bit extreme. For instance, if you have ever lived, had a medical procedure, or had sexual contact with anyone who ever lived in a number of African countries, you're disqualified. If you have ever used needles without a doctor's permission, even once, you're out. I was skeptical at first, but after considering the catastrophic consequences of a tainted blood supply, it makes sense. It's remarkable how long disease can remain latent.

One thing in particular stuck out, though: gay men who have been sexually active in the past thirty years can't give blood. It seems to me that this is rather discriminatory -- while it is true that that's a common way of contracting AIDS, such a blanket ban seems like stigma-propagating overkill. What about safe sex? Monogamous couples? A Philadelphia Daily News column points out that all donated blood is tested anyway. If this is the case, that ban seems even more unnecessary.

Anyway, it looks like I'm eligible -- so what exactly am I signing up for? Apparently, the standard donation is a pint of blood, approximately one tenth of the average person's total volume. It sounds like a lot, but apparently the body refills itself after about 24 hours. The process, which includes a health history check, a "mini-physical," the withdrawal itself, and a brief recovery period in "the canteen," takes about an hour. In order to "ensure a pleasant donation experience" (gag), I'm advised to get a lot of sleep, eat a good meal beforehand, and be drinking plenty of fluids.

After they suck the blood out of my veins, they'll store it in a cooled storage vehicle which will carry it to a distribution center. There, it'll be separated into its components and stored while they test a sample for disease. Twelve to sixteen hours later, it'll be shipped to a hospital chosen based on demonstrated need. So the effect of donation is fairly immediate.

The Red Cross website also has a list of fairly compelling facts demonstrating their need for donors. One donation can apparently help save three lives, for instance, meaning that giving does in fact have a large impact for relatively little inconvenience. However, the need for donations is also highlighted by this tidbit: the average blood transfusion is three pints... so one donation only covers a third (or a ninth, when split up into three). Blood cells, platelets, and plasma, the three components of the blood, are all needed, and giving only one of these specifically is possible (though I don't see why I wouldn't just go all the way).

What I'm taking away from all this is the assurance that my donation will be valuable. I'll make sure to donate at the upcoming drive and on more occasions in the future  -- provided this goes well. "Civic duty" can only compel me to do so much, and after a number of failed attempts at finding a vein, I may feel differently.

Hofland Expeditions supports three local charities in Arusha and surroundings: a local school, an orphanage and a project called Sibusiso.

5% of your travel sum will be used to support these projects. In this way you will have a great time in Tanzania and at the same time you are able to help the local people. With your contribution and other donations, we help a number of orphanages and local schools. We mainly help children in the age of 0-12.

This foundation is helping mentally disabled children in Tanzania. For more information you can visit their website: www.sibusiso.com

Local schoolsSchool

(The Kijenge Primary School)

The local schools are owned by the government ; there is no money for ‘fancy’ goods. With the donations that we receive and your 5% of the travel sum, we try to contribute to a better education and a better life for the children.

To give you an idea of what we buy for the children, here are some examples: pens, blackboards, footballs, pencils, school books, school banks, clothes, footwear, dolls and other toys.

The orphanages are also managed by the government and churches; hence there are not enough means for ‘fancy’ goods. We visit the orphanages personally, so that we get a good impression of what is really needed.

Your 5% contribution (from the travel sum) and other gifts are spend on; beds, blankets, clothes, pans, plates, footwear, school attributes, school money and of course toys!

How do we know what to purchase?orphanage

Once a month I have a meeting with the school administration/leaders. In this meeting they tell me what the children really need and what they will need in the future.

It is always a great experience to see the children’s faces when we bring new gifts.

During your stay in Arusha you will have the opportunity to pay a visit to one of the projects we support – and you can see for yourself how we (with a relatively small budget) try to contribute to a better life of the local youth. If you wish to pay a visit to e.g. the school we are supporting, please let us know in advance.

Many thanks for your donation!

CIVIC Launches Cookie Control Solution

Webmasters are now able to avoid prosecution following the launch of Cookie Control, a cookie consent solution, by digital communications agency CIVIC. Cookie Control was developed in response to demand from CIVIC’s many government clients including the Scottish Government, SQA and Skills Development Scotland. Developed at no cost to the taxpayer, the project is a great example of collaboration both within the public sector and the private sector.

To act in accordance with new EU legislation, websites must now gain consent for the use of cookies or similar technologies. From May 2012, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) will begin to prosecute webmasters who have failed to comply.

The law means that webmasters must audit their cookies and present clear information about them on their privacy policy and provide a mechanism for obtaining consent, before cookies are collected, and make any technical changes to cookie-storing scripts in order to test for consent before any are stored.

CIVIC’s Cookie Control solution is a smart plug-in, designed to gain user consent where other solutions have failed. It comes with an online configurator where users can set their customised styling options, select the position of the Cookie Control icon, edit the supplied boiler-plate text and include a link to their privacy policy.

The service will also provide examples of how to adapt standard third party scripts to test for user consent before they run, and the team at CIVIC are also available to help with custom implementations and cookie audits.

While many websites will be able to comply with a few tweaks to their code and the application of Cookie Control, some third party apps like Google Analytics and websites reliant on sales and advertising, will be affected. Not surprisingly, many website owner’s reactions have been quite negative.

Big providers of internet services liberally use cookies to make their websites work, track user behaviour and personalise the user’s browsing experience, however this data, once brought into existence, has a way of getting out, being repurposed for commercial gain or otherwise misused.

Mark Steven, CIVIC’s Head of Client Services, says: “Despite the overall unenthusiastic reaction, we think the new cookie law will produce a new kind of good practise for websites and prevent user-identifiable data getting into the hands of big corporates and their governments. Ultimately, for the protection of individual freedoms online, this is a good thing.”

“We think our Cookie Control solution is a simple, universal way for websites to comply with the regulations and we look forward to helping websites stay on the right side of the law.”

CIVIC is an independent creative digital communications agency with significant experience in the public and private sector. Using what it calls “creative technology”, CIVIC blends design with cutting edge digital expertise to bring business strategies to realisation through digital media.

Roasted Orange rind Madeleine's

In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines
, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines,
In two straight lines they broke their bread
and brushed their teeth and went to bed.
 They left the house at half-past nine,
In two straight lines in rain or shine,
the smallest one was Madeline
— Ludwig Bemelmans

Every time I take a bite of these lovely little cakes, this Ludwig Bemelmans quote plays in my head, and the fact that this is an obvious and predictable connection doesn't make it any less true. Of the many perks (trust me there's quite a few) that come with being a parent, introducing my daughter to childhood favourites/classics is one of my favourite of them all.

A little insight for you; Giselle (my daughter) has very random moments where she will rehash a memory of an event, a particular moment or a particular food she’s experienced. She loves to wistfully reminisce, which is almost always followed by a request to do it again; we must go there again, we must make it AGAIN and this particular instance, the memory of eating these Madeleines was her "must have". A few additional facts about my girl; she's a very good negotiator and she seals her deals with a pinky promise accompanied by a nod of the head and a polite reminder that “pinky promises can never be broken”. Last week, she came home from school and I sensed she was feeling very much in the mood for cake, on account of her less than subtle hints about cake; “Aaahhh, I feel really cakey today”, “I don’t know mom, my tummy just wants cake”, “mommy can i have some cake please?” unfortunately for her, I had none, but I promised we’d make something "cakey" soon, “Today? can we make the ones with the orangey taste?”  she asked. She meant madeleines, of course, …….I felt bad that I had to deliver the “soon” response. I delivered the "soon" response because a set date and time is a sure way to trigger the walking, talking notification system that seems to have come preinstalled at birth, I'd be reminded every hour, on the hour, of how much time remains before I had to make her "orangey" cake, she will do the math and she will set a reminder plus an alarm on her iPad to make extra certain that mommy absolutely does not forget that she promised to bake cakes for this day.

We love our bread, we love our butter, but most of all we love each other.
— Madeleine, children's tv show

So this past Saturday, with a contract that was signed in the form of a pinky finger promise laying not-so-heavily on my shoulders, I set about peeling a few organic unwaxed oranges and roasting their rinds in preparation. I whipped up the batter on Sunday and left it over-night in the fridge, after dinner on Monday, we had ourselves madeleines hot out the oven for dessert, she scoffed 5, back to back, on her 6th it was clear she had sufficiently satisfied her cravings.

I had initially intended to kill two birds with 1 stone by making and photographing these with her, however, when the time came, I really wasn't in the mood for the stop and go process that's required when doing food photography. In the end, since this mixture is enough to get you two batches of 12 and 1 batch of 8 (32 total) I made a batch on Monday and the following day, I made the rest and quickly did this shoot.

Roasted orange rind -

5 Organic unwaxed oranges

Directions -

Preheat your oven to 140C.

Wash and peel oranges with a sharp knife or a potato peeler. Place on a baking sheet and into the oven. There is no exact time for this method, it's all a matter of checking for doneness.

Set your timer for 10 minutes, once the time passes, check the rinds, if they are still soft and pliable, allow to bake for another 3 minutes, check again and if still pliable, keep checking at going at 3 minute intervals until they are stiff and can be snapped easily, be patient and do not increase the temperature of your oven as this may result in your rinds being burnt.

Once rinds reach the point of snapping, remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet, if you listen carefully, you will hear them snap crackle and pop as they cool and crisp.

After roasted rinds have come to room temperate, transfer to a pestle and mortar or a spice/coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder.

Sift your powder, discarding large pieces left over in sieve and store in an airtight jar.

Roasted orange rind madeleines -

100 grams ground almond

10 grams baking powder

2 tablespoons ground roasted orange or lemon rind

In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, ground almonds, baking powder and roasted orange powder

The Texas Supreme Court & Same-Sex Marriage, Pre-Obergefell v. Hodges

Today, the Texas Supreme Court disposed of two same-sex marriage cases, In re Marriage of J.B. & H.B., No.  11-0024, and State v. Naylor, No. 11-0114 (Tex. 2015). Though neither case resulted in a groundbreaking or even particularly impactful decision, the court took the opportunity to air its thoughts on same-sex marriage in a cacophony of voices. To paraphrase one of the Justices, the expected ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in the next two weeks “will likely subsume the merits of” its decision today.

In both cases, couples legally married in Massachusetts filed for divorce in Texas. Texas does not recognize same-sex unions at all, including same-sex unions from other states where such unions are legal.

In the case of J.B. and H.B., the Fifth District Court of Appeals ruled that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the parties’ divorce and that Texas’ same-sex marriage bans do not violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In re Marriage of J.B. and H.B., 326 S.W.3d 654, 659 (Tex.App.–Dallas 2010, pet. dismissed). The Texas Supreme Court granted J.B.’s petition for review but H.B. passed away on April 11, 2015. J.B. filed a motion to dismiss on April 17, 2015 which was granted today.

The Texas Supreme Court actually issued a ruling in State v. Naylor, but did not reach the merits of the case. In Naylor, the parties were married in Massachusetts in 2004. They returned to Texas, adopted a child, and started a business together. Eventually they separated. In January 2009, Naylor filed a SAPCR which resulted in an agreed order. Naylor then filed a petition for divorce in the same cause number as the SAPCR and also later amended her pleadings to request a modification of the parent-child relationship. After a two-day hearing, the parties reached a settlement, the terms of which were read into the record on February 10, 2010 and the trial court granted a divorce.

The next day, the State filed a petition in intervention arguing the trial court lacked jurisdiction to grant the divorce because the parties were of the same sex. The State further argued the parties’ only vehicle for relief in Texas was to have the marriage declared void under Tex. Fam. Code 6.307. The trial court stated it could not consider the petition in intervention because it was not filed until after the rendition of the final judgment. The State appealed but the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal for want of jurisdiction, finding the State lacked standing.

The Texas Supreme Court, in a profusion of opinions, agreed that the State’s petition in intervention was untimely. Frankly, with other matters pressing, I have not had time to read the four opinions in great detail. The majority opinion, authored by Justice Brown, was joined by Chief Justice Hecht and Justices Green, Johnson, and Boyd. Justice Boyd also filed a concurrence which emphasizes that the parties’ divorce decree is not binding on the State and also takes issue with several points in Justice Willett’s dissent. Justice Willett filed a dissent, which was joined by Justices Guzman and Devine, and Justice Devine filed his own dissent. The majority opinion in fact took pains to recognize Justice Devine’s “careful and thorough” treatment of the constitutional questions underlying the the case, and even stated it has “no quarrel” with his analysis. “Like Justice Devine,” the majority concluded, “we would appreciate the opportunity to address the merits of this issue of critical importance at this crucial juncture in our nation’s history. Yet we must respect the bounds of our jurisdiction by addressing only the questions immediately before the Court.”

Hovering over all of the opinions is the pending ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court expected by the end of the month. As Justice Willett put it, “The federal constitutional merits lurking in today’s case will be addressed within days.” The opinions give the distinct impression the court is not just clearing the deck before Obergefell v. Hodges makes landfall, but taking a stance before the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in, particularly with its explicit endorsement of Justice Devine’s dissent. This impression is strengthened by the fact the case has been on the court’s docket for literally years and there was no compelling reason to rule at all before Obergefell.

The Fourteenth Court of Appeals released its memorandum opinion in Kelley v. Kelley, No. 14-14-00519-CV (Tex.App.–Houston [14th Dist.] Jun. 18, 2015) this morning, which is a contract interpretation case. Wayne and Jody Kelley divorced in 2011. Their decree incorporated a separate Agreement Incident to Divorce in which Wayne became obligated to buy Jody’s 50% share of their business for $426,000 within a year. Additionally the business would issue a promissory note for the $426,000. The agreement also included the following guaranty: “Wayne specifically… does hereby guarantee all obligations that Wildcat Petroleum is assuming that are due and payable to Jody.” Neither Wayne nor the business ever paid Jody and she sued only Wayne for enforcement. Wayne claimed, among other things, that the obligation was unenforceable. The trial court entered summary judgment in favor of Jody which was appealed by  Wayne. Wayne’s only issue on appeal was that the business should have been joined as a party to the suit.

Whether or not the business should have been a party to the suit depends on what type of guaranty was in the agreement. The Court of Appeals noted there are two types of guaranty under Texas law: a guaranty of collection (or a conditional guaranty) and a guaranty of payment (or unconditional guaranty). With a guaranty of collection, the guarantor agrees to pay if the debt cannot be collected from the primary obligor. Generally, in a guaranty of collection suit, the principal debtor must be joined as a party.

With a guaranty of payment suit, however, the guarantor is obligated to pay the debt when due if the debtor does not. Because the only condition precedent to enforce a guaranty of payment is default by the principal debtor, the principal debtor is not a necessary party. A guaranty is deemed to be a guaranty of payment unless the agreement specifies otherwise.

In his brief, Wayne acknowledged that the guaranty language of the agreement indicated an unconditional guaranty of something, though it was unclear what: the business’s obligation to pay or the business’s obligation to issue a promissory note. For this reason, Wayne argued the guaranty was conditional, making the business a necessary party.

In response, Jody argued, and the Court of Appeals agreed, that Wayne clearly and unconditionally guaranteed payment of $426,000, making the guaranty one of payment, rendering the business an unnecessary party.

In re M.M.M. & S.H.M.

On June 5, 2015, the Texas Supreme Court issued its notice denying the petition for review of In re M.M.M. & S.H.M., a controversial case from the 14th Court of Appeals. This means, barring a motion for reconsideration or petition for U.S. Supreme Court review, the 14th’s published opinion In re M.M.M. and S.H.M., No. 14-12-01145-CV (Tex.App.–Houston [14th Dist.] Apr. 10, 2014, pet. denied) will stand as final. The case garnered a lot of media attention in 2012. In this case, Appellant Marvin McMurrey III sought a declaratory judgment that Appellee Cindy Close did not have a parental relationship with or standing to pursue rights to the children the subject of the suit. Close was impregnated with McMurrey’s sperm and an unknown donor’s eggs via assisted reproductive technology. McMurrey asserted at trial that Close was merely the surrogate who agreed to carry the children for Mr. McMurrey and his partner, but there was no written agreement. McMurrey and Close disputed what the postpartum plan was. Close stated the plan was for them to co-parent the children, but McMurrey alleged Close had agreed to carry the children but play no further role in the children’s lives after birth. Both parties moved for summary judgment. The trial court (the 247th Judicial District Court of Harris County) found Close was the mother of the children as a matter of law and implicitly denied McMurrey’s request for a declaratory judgment declaring she had no parental relationship to the children.  Under Chapter 160 of the Texas Family Code, a mother-child relationship is established when a woman gives birth to the child. Tex. Fam. Code. sec. 160.201(a)(1). There is no requirement the mother be the genetic parent of the child. McMurrey argued giving birth merely created a presumption of maternity which would be rebutted with genetic evidence, as is the case with paternity under section 160.201(b). To cut to the chase, the Court of Appeals disagreed but the entire opinion is worth a read. The issue of maternity has been quite a saga but hopefully it has met its final conclusion at long last, though it would appear that the remainder of the suit will now resume in trial court, including various torts.

Opinions, June 16, 2015

The Fourteenth Court of Appeals released its published opinion in In re A.L.H., Cause Nos. 14-14-01029-CV and 14-104-01030-CV (Tex.App.–Houston [14th Dist.] Jun. 16, 2015) in which the Court of Appeals affirmed the termination of a mother’s parental rights but reversed as to the father. The mother had executed a notarized affidavit of relinquishment of her parental rights which stated termination would be in the best interest of the child. On appeal, she asserted the affidavit was executed involuntarily, but presented no evidence in support of that claim. Her issues were overruled. The father asserted that the evidence was legally and factually insufficient to support the trial court’s judgment of termination on either of the two statutory grounds for termination, i.e. Tex. Fam. Code sec. 161.001(1)((D) (placing the child in dangerous conditions) and (N)(constructive abandonment). As to endangerment, the Court of Appeals found DFPS presented no evidence of the child’s environment at the time of removal or that the father had knowledge of the child’s environment. Constructive abandonment requires clear and convincing evidence that the child has been in state custody for six months and three necessary elements (“(1) the Department made reasonable efforts to return the child to the parent; (2) the parent has not regularly visited or maintained significant contact with the child; and (3) the parent has demonstrated an inability to provide the child with a safe environment.”). If the evidence is legally insufficient on any of the elements, the termination finding cannot be sustained. The Court of Appeals found that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support the trial court’s conclusion on the first element, that DFPS took reasonable efforts to return the child to the father. At trial, the caseworker testified that the father did not visit with the child throughout the case, did not request visitation, and did not provide anything for the child’s care or support. The father did not comply with court orders to establish paternity and did not appear at trial or any of the hearings. DFPS argued that its actions to serve the father with notice of the suit and the trial court’s orders to establish the father’s paternity were evidence of the department’s reasonable efforts. The Court of Appeals disagreed. Additionally, the department argues its efforts to place the child with an aunt in Arizona constituted reasonable efforts, but the record reflected the aunt testified she would not allow the parents to have any contact with the child, which the Court of Appeals found negated the department’s argument. The termination of the father’s rights was reversed.

The Fourteenth Court of Appeals issued its memorandum opinion in In re J.J.G. and D.J.T-B., No. 14-15-00094-CV (Tex.App.–Houston [14th Dist.] Jun. 4, 2015) in which it affirmed the termination of the mother’s rights to her children. In this case, an 11-week-old child was admitted to the hospital with what turned out to be shaken baby syndrome; the children were taken into the state’s care and the father was incarcerated as a result. Only the mother contested termination. After the state became involved, it established a family service plan with the mother which required the mother to, inter alia, stay drug free, maintain stable employment and housing, and attend parenting classes, all of which she subsequently either failed to do or failed to provide proof of having done. During the mother’s family service plan period, she evidently tested positive for marijuana and cocaine but she claimed the positive cocaine result was because someone laced her marijuana without her knowledge. At trial, the mother testified that she had not used drugs 26 days before trial, was trained to become a dental assistant and would be able to get a job as such after a four-month externship. She also testified that if the state extended her case she would get treatment for addiction. The trial court terminated her rights. On appeal, the mother argued that her marijuana use should be viewed as a lesser offense, when compared to other illegal drugs, because other states have legalized marijuana use. The court of appeals disagreed and overruled the mother’s first issue. On her second issue, the mother argued the evidence was factually insufficient to support a finding that termination was in the best interest of the children. The court of appeals marshaled all the negative evidence against the mother and overruled her second issue.

Opinions, June 2, 2015

The First Court of Appeals has released its concise memorandum opinion in Roberts v. Roberts, No. 01-15-0024-CV (Tex.App.–Houston [1st Dist.], Jun. 2, 2015) which clocks in at about 400 words. A default divorce was entered against appellant even though the proof of service had not been on file for at least ten days. Reversed and remanded.

Searching for methods with custom attributes in nested class structure

Does anyone know of a good way to do this? Say I have a class called Garage and in that class there is a property of type List<Cars> that contains objects of a Car class. Some methods in the Garage class and in the Car class have a custom attribute. I'd like to find those methods and invoke them.

It would be trivial to do this if I know the structure of the Garage class, but what if I don't?

In other words, is there a good way to create a method where any object can be passed to it, the method traverses the entire object, including any enumerables within that object, and any enumerables within those objects, etc., to find and invoke methods with a certain attribute?

Right now I'm using reflection and a recursive method for this, but the PropertyInfo.GetValue method is really picky when you start having to deal with lists and enumerables. Has anyone solved a problem like this before?

Dar kao simbol društvenoga suživota

The paper in details show how an ethnological act, an act of gift-giving, can and must be put in a theoretical and methodical context. Without it, it is difficult to find the meaning of any ethnological occurrence. The author explains the conception of a gift as an universal cultural category through which higher values are realised. In communication between two persons, which have a positive attitude towards each other, meeting has an important role. The situation in which occasional gift-giving is obliged, the author calls gift-situation and puts it within a cultural system. Gift-giving and the gift givers, together with the kind of gift that is given, the intention of giving and the ritual of giving a gift, are connected with time and place and the typical gestures while the gift is given. It is obvious that the act of gift-giving has a symbolic function which is complex and of various meaning.

I’m no Betty Crocker…

… or Mrs. Cleaver, or Martha, or Lil’ Debbie … but I was very excited today to go to Viking Cooking School for a cookie decorating class! Brian went a few times last year and raved about it, so I thought I would take a turn, and I dragged a friend along with me for extra fun.

A few years ago I was given an incredible set of antique copper cookie cutters and have wanted to learn to put them to good use. Now I know how! I think?

I know you’ve been wondering what I do all day with both kids in school. Now you know. I’m elbow deep in sugar! Yeah, right! You’re dreamin’. I decorated 6 cookies in 2 hours, if that gives you any kind of clue as to what I got myself into there.

But really, the greatest compliment is a cookie that disappears! (And it did. In 1/10th the time it took to decorate it!)

Beginning of a new Second Life Hunt!

I am Suff (or Leannan, as my display name is at the moment) Lockjaw. Some of you might know me from Hard Alley, as I work/live very closely with many of the residents and managers there, and am also the madame of the House of Ill Repute brothel located in Hard Alley.

I have experience both running my own 100-store hunt on another avatar, and volunteering with an adult hunt that’s been off and on now for a year, so I decided to branch off and do my own and see if I can be successful enough to make this a repeating event:)

I want EVERY adult-minded Second Life resident to know about all the amazing high quality stores that cater to their needs, and not just the regular slap-dash average items you can find everywhere. There are so many fantastic stores who cater to the inner-slut in some of us, that aren’t SEEN as much as they need to be, so that is my goal behind this hunt…. to show off more of the amazing naughty tidbits out there in our world, and bring more people to YOUR stores.

The goal of a hunt is threefold: You get the added foot traffic, you get more people discovering your store and hopefully SPENDING cash at your place, and the hunters get an example of your goods. I DO have one request if you decide to join me… PLEASE make your gift something that shows your talent. This is why I am setting all this up as much in advance as I can…. I know you all are busy, but I also know you want to show your aspiring and continued customers your REAL talent, so put a little love into what you want to give for this hunt:) Remember this gift will make people go “DAMN, I want to go back and buy that whole store out!”. That’s the kind of gift that makes your store pop up in their mind when they go through their hunt folders after, and the kind that will have them coming back for MORE.

The theme is SLUTTY. Yeah, I said it.. SLUTTY. This is not a low, cheap term in my mind, this means down-deep gutter-minded, sexy, hot, just all-out sensual and sexual. I would love to see ultra-lowcut sensual clothes for both women AND men (yeah, some men will venture through this..LOL), hot sexual poses and furniture, porn-style artwork… you get the idea..LOL! Bring out your inner pornstar while thinking about joining this hunt:)

I will have a blog started for this very soon, I am working on it and a better logo than the temporary one I made on 11 July (the first day I sent out these notecards and started making full plans). There is also a group now, which is at secondlife:///app/group/49e20bf5-764c-f004-6d93-003832988ba6/about . If you join with yourself or with your alt, please let me know so I can give you a Merchant tag…. you will have more rights with that:)

If you are interested in joining as a merchant, write to me on Second Life (Sufferingfrom Lockjaw is the name). Fill out the application I give you, ADD A FULL-PERM LOGO TEXTURE so I can use it for the blog, and send it to me:) And please, make sure your sim is at least Moderate/Mature/Adult.  I will NOT be accepting anyone in PG areas (and General ONLY under full understanding), due to the fact that some of my hunters will probably be wearing as little clothing as possible, knowing them;)

If you have ANY questions, write me an IM if I am online… if I am offline, it might be best to notecard me and i will write you back as soon as I wake up:)

Lusty regards,

Leannan Lockjaw

Coordinator for Hunt for Your Inner Slut

2013 Digital Review

2013 in Digital

As we are approaching the end of 2013, I thought now would be a good time to review the most significant digital marketing stories of the year.  And what a year it has been, eh?!

Facebook Graph Search is launched:  This relies on people having pretty relaxed privacy settings, as only public info can be shared in search results.  Hmmm….don’t think Google will be losing too much sleep over this yet.

Twitter Vine launched:  Feels like a product with a great fit for the 21st Century – short, visual, lots of feline potential.  I think that in 2014, brands are going to start to see this as an opportunity (there are already some brands and sports teams using it excellently).

Google releases enhanced PPC campaigns:  The best advertising channel in the world just got better.  The level of detail which you can set your ad up with now is fantastic, and it’s tough to think of a business that would not benefit from PPC now and into 2014.

Google hits Interflora…hard:  Following Google algorithm updates, Interflora found itself on the receiving end of a Google penalty.  It sent its product out to bloggers in the hope that they would write about the product and provide a link.  Result – Interflora temporarily disappears.  Expect more updates and penalties in 2014.

Google Glass:  Hipsters of the world unite!  Google Glass is being trialled by a select group of volunteers (and their $1500).  I think it’s too early to tell what impact this is going to have, but with 2014 due to see a rise in 4G coverage, this could be big in 2014.

Facebook hashtags:  As part of Facebook’s plan to encourage its network to interact, the hashtag was released onto Facebook in 2013.  Like Graph Search, this relies on people relaxing their privacy settings, which I think is unlikely right now.

Hummingbird long-tail search:  Google introduces the Hummingbird update, to understand the context which the user is searching with in order to provide more accurate search results.  This encouraged most SEO experts to push the virtues of the long-tail search in response.

Rise of Not Provided:  The same SEO experts were disappointed if not surprised that Google has started to not provide keyword data for SEO keyword referral.  The rise of ‘Not Provided’ was happening throughout 2013, so no shocks – just a hole in the data right now until someone finds a solution!

Facebook loses teens:  Teenagers are switching from Facebook to Twitter and Instagram – after all, what teenager wants to be on a social network where their whole family hang out? This is a key demographic for future growth, so expect Facebook to address this in 2014.

Mobile consumption doubles over last 12 months:  Mobile is becoming more and more important, with consumption doubling over the last 12 months.  This will continue into 2014, with the reduction in smart phone cost and the rise of 4G.

What does 2014 hold?  I’ll let you know on the 20th December, so remember to check back!

Once Saved…Always Saved

17 Jul

And the Lord said: “Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men, therefore, behold, I will again do wonderful things with this people, with wonder upon wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.” – Isaiah 29:13-14

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. – Matthew 15:8.

Maybe you remember your salvation experience aka the day that you surrendered your life to Jesus; was that a transformational experience for you, or just an “experience”? I can be honest and say that it took me a long time to “get saved” because I was attached, committed and addicted to the sin that I was in. You know how we do it, we will say, “keep on praying for me, God is not through with me yet”, or my personal favorite, “God knows my heart”. Wait, let me give you one more…the most popular one, I believe, “I am just not ready to take that step yet”. We have so many excuses as to why we will not devote our lives to Christ, but once we do, it should transform your life, your spirit, your behaviors and most of all your mind. I remember that when I got pregnant with my eldest daughter I was not saved yet, and my mother, who was, would hammer away at my boyfriend (at the time) and I about getting married. I heard more “it’s better to marry than to burns” than I ever wanted to hear, but because of the intense pressure from her and her church friends, I went ahead and married the guy. To make a long story short, the covenant between the two of us in marriage was not legitimate because it wasn’t what we wanted, and to be honest I don’t believe it was what God wanted. The marriage was doomed from the start because neither of us was honest in agreeing to it, and he was gone within 3 months.

There is a new doctrine, or maybe not so new but more open and common nowadays and it is the Once Saved, Always Saved doctrine. This is interpreted as even if you gave your life to Christ 20 years ago, and since that time became a serial killer, maybe repented once or twice, but you drink to numb the reality that you are killing people, then suddenly you die – you will still make it to heaven off of that 20yr ago confession unto salvation. If you believe this then you are an indoctrinated member of the OSAS Church of Lies.

How can once saved always saved be a lie? Well, there are MANY scriptures to dispute this erroneous doctrine which is straight from the devil. The one that pops immediately into my mind whenever someone brings this to me is 1 John 1:9,

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Why would Jesus need to forgive and cleanse us if our twenty year ago salvation was enough to keep us saved for life? Peter said it best…

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:13-16).

Ok so there you have it, God commands us to be Holy because He is Holy! But wait…there’s more! Paul stated to the church at Corinth,

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (1 Cor. 9:27).

If we go back to the beginning of this post I talked about marriage being a covenant agreement between a man and a woman; salvation likewise is a covenant agreement between yourself and God, and as with any covenant or agreement there are terms to be met or expectations, if you will. God did His part, He gave his only begotten Son, and we gave our lives, our will, our very souls to him. However, it is my opinion that God gave the most, I mean he DID create us…so in exchange, God also set provisions and stipulations for us to follow. God is always faithful in meeting His end of the covenant; He promises to never leave nor forsake us, He doesn’t. He promises to supply our every need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus, He does. He promises His peace that He will leave with us, done! We promise to commit our ways unto Him, and do we? We have this expectation that once we get saved that, hey…it’s all good now and we forget about the agreement! Once we disregard that covenant, it is broken!

When we rebel against God, he does not send wrath or judgment right away; God’s grace is sufficient for thee and he will send warning. Remember when we were little kids and you know that you should have been home by the time the street lights came on because, those were the rules in your house? Mama didn’t always beat your butt the first time, she might remind you about the rules. The second time, she may send your annoying little sister to warn you that it is almost time. The third time, you might get a swat on the butt and sent to bed…but ohhh the fourth time…you may not walk for a week! See, mama had mercy on you, and gave you chances but you still were rebellious, so finally judgment rained down upon you. That is how God is, loving, merciful and kind. He will always send warning before judgment – see Noah. There are many passages of scripture which show us that even Christians, saved folk, will turn away:

2 Peter 2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again ; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Luke 8:13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

We are definitely in the times where there will be a great falling away of believers, just look at the state that the church is in now; deception is running rampant, false prophets are ravaging the sheep and believers are believing a lie!

2 Thess, 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.

The greatest lie that satan would like for us to believe is that once you have been saved, that you can do anything, say anything or live any way that you want to and still be saved. Take heed lest you fall! The OSAS doctrine contradicts scripture and is very dangerous. Hebrews 10:26-29 states,

For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. – Isaiah 55:10-11 (KJV)

    My Goodness! More people need to hear or read this instead of justifying there sin or not wanting to face it. Keep it up. I love reading your entry’s

    This is a powerful message Sis. I pray that everyone who sees this, will really evaluate who they are in Christ (myself included). I thank God that He has given you the wisdom and ability to use this forum to spread His true doctrine. May you allow God to continue to use you to minister to His people! Love it!

    Thank you Bootney and Sis. Alison! In an age of contrary doctrines like the prosperity doctrine and the inclusion doctrine, this is one that is slyly slipping under the radar! Hopefully more people will view or share this, and those in darkness will come to light. There is no Once Saved Always Saved, but there is Jesus Christ, the same yesterday today and forever. – Hebrews 13:8.

    Well, Sister, it looks like that “pastor” went thru with his sermon. He even linked a video to his blog. Let’s just say I am truly grieved. Talk around town, the church was packed—they came to see the “pastor” get tattooed while preaching his sermon. Truly we are in the last days.

    • iampastorswife

      July 18, 2011 at 10:29 AM

      Sister Evette, I had forgotten about that service so thank you for the reminder! What caught my eye was the quote that he put up:

      Hello. we have been coming to grace church for a little bit and I have really enjoyed it. My son and his friends were interviewed today and honestly it was so funny. But his friends wouldn’t of been with us if I didn’t tell them about you getting tattooed today. They honestly didn’t believe me, so his friend just came to see if it was true and then he dedicated his life to Jesus. You are an amazing pastor. Thank you for being ready to go beyond to reach people….

      This goes directly into the other blog post about Successful Ministry According to Satan; this preacher seems to be more into self-gratification and self-edification than to building up the kingdom for Jesus Christ. Jesus does not need gimmicks to draw, man does. See, when you trick and entertain them to get them in the door, you will have to keep tricking and entertaining to KEEP them. This is a shame and an abomination. Paul stated in Corinthians:

      For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
      Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
      Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. (1 Cor. 3:11-13).

        Couldn’t agree with you more!

    I believe that the doctrine of OSAS is one of the most dangerous doctrines being taught today and I thank God for all that are teaching , preaching ,and living contrary to this erronous doctrine.

    • iampastorswife

      July 22, 2011 at 9:49 AM

      Brother Frank, I could not agree with you more. I actually had someone tell me that they believe with all their heart that they are going to heaven despite how their current lifestyle is because they accepted Jesus years ago. It broke my heart that they cannot hear God because of doctrine/teaching. “With all their heart…” which is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked according to the Word. We continue to pray. Thanks for your comment!

Project: "UI Art Branding"
Company:United Design Practice
Designer(s): United Design Practice, China
Category: , Professional
User's Profile : User's Profile

Entry Description: As a company grows, it needs to respond to market changes, even in the transitions in mindset of the founder. The branding of the company needs to adapt and visually reposition itself to both business partners and consumers. This Shanghai based company has pivoted to the art industry, doing art buying, curating, exhibitions, residency programs, artists related events and collaborations. Interestingly, the client has a different take on what art means relative to prevailing perceptions in the China market. They believe art should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, social status, and career background. Not only for the rich and social elites. Hence UI came into being. Part of the old entity FRUIT, and placing special emphasis on this relationship and interface between, you, I and Art.

About the Designer/Company
We are a cross-disciplinary design agency focussed on creating seamless design solutions for our clients. Behind every design brief is a business challenge. We investigate into the very nature of the challenge, analyze the competitive landscape and best-in-class precedents, before disrupting the norm with design solutions across relevant touchpoints. From the intangible to the tangible. From the very small to the very big. Branding, interior, architecture, masterplanning, landscaping, marketing communication, PR event, exhibition; jobs we've been hired to do but the end solutions are much less defined and more effective.

I actually updated my cube!   Leave a comment

In case all… 3 of you may have noticed, I’ve been pretty awful about actually updating my blog list and cube.  I guess there’s a theme there, eh?  🙂

On the podcast, it’s been a running joke that I never seem to update this blog aside from crack-a-packs.  I’m going to be changing this, utilizing it more for list changes and content that I’ve created, like my 2-part review (colorless and non-colorless) on OGW, the podcast review and my guest appearance on the “What’s In The Box” podcast.

I host weekly cube drafts and frequently make changes to the list (usually on the Tuesday before the draft, if not several times) but my Cube Tutor list stayed unchanged.  I saw somewhere that my list on CT hadn’t been updated since April 2015 and that’s just abysmal.

So I did a complete reset on my list since I figured it’d get me to finally get it up to date.  Well, it worked.  It’s up to date now.

Before BFZ, I did a reboot of my pauper cube (which I’m looking to get updated on CT as well) inspired by the recent Modern Masters 2015 set, where things like affinity/Metalcrafts are things and while my regular cube list didn’t go as far on that, it got me to doing some changes in sections.  As discussed on the podcast, one thing I did was cutting multicolor to 2 per pair (I have hybrid separately because they play different roles than multicolor as being a boon rather than a drawback, which I posted about last year.  Unfortunately, CT doesn’t really account for this, so it looks like some multicolor sections are wonky) to account for new colorless cards.

I’ve always talked about how cube design isn’t so much a compilation of the best cards and how it’s about crafting a draft environment featuring powerful cards.  People sometimes see a card being removed from a cube as being “not good enough,” and while sometimes cards do get cut because they aren’t, this ignores things like crafting an environment (because after all, wouldn’t an on-deck binder just be pointless, then, if not to re-visit cards that were cut for reasons other than solely for power reasons and for environment crafting?)  Because of that, sometimes list updates will be trying things out, rather than it being a decree of a card being bad, but I’ll likely put that in updates.

Thanks.  🙂
