My makeup routine

I get asked a lot of questions about my makeup, so I thought I'd share a little bit about my makeup philosophy.

I have very oily and very sensitive skin. "Special needs" skin, if you will. Taking those things into account, I have to use products that will keep me from breaking out, but also provide oil control. It's taken me a long time to find the right products, but I FINALLY know what works for me.

I like a more natural look for work. I don't usually wear eyeshadow, and I only line my top eyelids. I try to look as polished as possible, but not going so far with the makeup that I look like a hooker. For night, I still like to look natural(ish), but I do a little heavier on the eye makeup (so not hooker, more high dollar escort). I am more likely to wear eyeshadow at night, but it's not always a given. I line my eyes a little darker and do a couple more coats of mascara.

Here's my work makeup routine...

1. I use either Equate Anti-Wrinkle Cream or Aveda Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisturizer depending on my mood. Both moisturize well. The Equate is thicker and better for winter. The Aveda isn't as rich and I use it more often in the summer. I use these under my eyes and around my nose. Even though I have oily skin, I think it is SO important to moisturize!

2. MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer. I use this under my eyes, around my nose, and anywhere I have a blemish.

3. MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. I use this all over my face and blend with a kabuki brush.

4. Bare Minerals Warmth and MAC Powder Blush in Pink Swoon. In the summer I use Bare Minerals Warmth, as well as blush. I dust lightly over my face with a foundation brush. Then, I blend the blush on the apple of my cheeks and up my cheekbones.

5. MAC Eyeshadow in Mystery. I wet an eyeliner brush and swirl it in the eyeshadow. Then, I line my eyes.

6. MAC Opulash. First I curl my lashes, then I sweep 2 coats of mascara in my top and bottom lashes. I let them dry and curl again.

7. MAC Lipstick in Speak Louder and Buxom Big and Healthy Lip Polish in Katie. I apply the lipstick to both my lips, blot, and then apply the polish.

The Writer as Street-Crossing Guard

In the process or articulating the tools of narration for your students, your clients, and for your own composition, you've outlined narrative, interior monologue, and dialogue, but with one quick point on an outline for your lecture, you might have come upon a term and concept for whom you are the likely father.

Dialogue is the medium of communication between characters, a straightforward exchange until, as you like to do to make sure your points are being taken, you can demonstrate nuance, or choice, or the spillover from the effect dialogue has on characters to the point where it also has an effect on the reader.

Say one of your students arrives late to class, late enough to feel a bit defensive.  Say further, that the student arrives in time to overhear a heated, bordering on acrimonious exchange between two or more fellow students, with the possibility of you trying to wedge in for the purpose of restoring some order if not peace.

The late student cannot help but register some response, possible ones being alarm, undifferentiated adrenaline, wariness, surprise, confusion.  Other possibilities include a combination of all these, because no one has demonstrated the invariable singleness of an emotion.

Reverse the polarity by having the late student arriving in time to hear gales of laughter and pervasive sense of merriment and mutual enjoyment.  This time, the late student's responses are more likely to be positive, convivial ones, tinged with the regret of not having been there sooner in order to get the full effect of whatever hilarity it was that produced such amused responses.

If dialogue is effective, whatever effect it will have on the reader, it will also provide some feelings for the reader, who becomes your substitute for the student who arrived late.  There is an exception:  The reader will have caught the full force of the dialogue and interaction between characters.

The reader will have been there from the start of the scene, may not have missed the most salient of the writer's intentions in constructing the scene and its resulting dialogue as it now stands, no doubt after a few revisions and as well the editorial process.

The next step, beyond dialogue, is narrative, which is all the movement,response, evocation, description, and nuance that come from action other than dialogue.  Pretty straightforward.  Now comes another aspect of narrative, the thoughts and inferences of characters to which the reader is made privy.

Another way of approaching this narrative tool is to say of it that it is equivalent to the reader being able to eavesdrop on the inner sensitivities of at least one character, the person chosen to serve as the filter for the story.  This was not, she realized, going to be easy.  Or, He knew he was going to have to put more effort into solving this problem; his attempts so far had given him nothing to go on.

The next step in the scale of potential narrative may be either a fresh vision on your part or the possibility of you being asked how it was you took so long to see this.  You will call it outer narration, by which you mean all aspects of story that are not dialogue nor interior monologue.

Outer narration is an account of the filtering character, the point-of-view character, involving movements and responses that are action beats rather than internalized thoughts or questions.  John ran as fast as he could to head off the runaway horse.  Thus, outer narration.  Who was he kidding?  Did he actually think he could outrun a horse?  Thus interior monologue.

Outer narration, as you see it, hits a brick wall if it is rendered, John was cold.  Such rendition is stage direction, which is also authorial intervention.  John began to regret setting off without a jacket.  Another matter.  No hint of the author there, directing traffic.

3D rigid motions, registration and robotics with Matlab

This toolbox provides a set of functions for modelling 3-D rigid motions including Euler angles, rotation and homogeneous matrixes, quaternions and dual quaternions, and axis/angle representations. These tools are commonly used in robotics, but they are equally useful for image registration and matching, image analysis and modeling, and others. Before using the toolbox, you should run the script:
        >> setup__robotics_toolbox
that will temporarily fix your path to include all the required folders. In case you plan to use the toolbox regularly, you are suggested to include the line above in your 'startup.m' Matlab's config file.

The core of the toolbox is actually the object-oriented iterface (OOI) for quaternions, dual numbers, and dual quaternions algebra. Corresponding classes have been programmed for each one using Matlab's object oriented interface, allowing to use them in the same way real or complex numbers (or matrixes) are used. For example, a 3xN matrix xyz comprising N 3-D column vectors can be translated to its quaternion representation just by typing:
        >> myquaternions = [ii,jj,kk]*xyz; % 1xN array of quaternions

Or you can compute the rotation angle they represent as:
        >> angle(myquaternions),

Or you can compute their squares or compare them:
        >> myquaternions.*myquaternions == myquaternions.^2
Note this module is similar to the [qtfm] package, but THEY ARE NOT equivalent. First, we use here dual quaternions instead of octonions. Besides, qtfm is quite more general since it manages quaternions with complex entries, which is not the case here: quaternions, dual numbers,  and dual quaternions are restricted to have only real entries. You may notice the difference with a very simple example:
        >> q = quaternion(-1);
        >> sqrt(q),
will return (0+1i) + (0+0i)*ii + (0+0i)*jj + (0+0i)*kk with qtfm, while the present software will return 0 + 1*ii + 0*jj + 0*kk. To get started, you can run any of the demos:

The aim when designing this code was mainly to provide an intuitive and flexible interface to work with different representations of rigid motions. This means the software is not particularly optimized for performance/execution speed. However, an effort has been made to take advantage of Matlab's efficiency in matrix computations.

Blossomed Around the Mountain of Snow

The landscaping of Walt Disney World is as much a tool for storytelling as the architecture, signs, and Cast Members are. This attention to detail is one of the reasons that the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival is one of the highlights of the year for me. Not only are there incredible displays to observe and learn from, but there is also a way to learn about the behind the scenes workings of Disney’s Horticulture. Let’s explore how the landscaping designs of a single park, Blizzard Beach, helps to give guests the sense that they have entered a winter wonderland on the meltdown.

Just past Lottawatta Lodge is a gorgeous vista of the entire park, and it gives us a perfect place to talk about the entirety of Blizzard Beach’s flora and how it plays into the story of the water park. The story of Blizzard Beach is critical to the understanding of why certain plants were selected for the park and where they ended up. As the tale goes, Blizzard Beach was the vortex of a freak winter storm that turned the area into a skier’s paradise. Plans were made to turn the area into Florida’s first ski resort. The lodges were built, runs constructed, and even a chairlift was installed to take guests up the mountain. However, it was then that Florida’s naturally warm temperatures returned. It utter dismay, it was at this moment that Ice Gator took to the slopes and went careening down Mount Gushmore and through the resort. Inspired, the planners turned the ski park into a water park, and thus Blizzard Beach was born. In its wake it left behind some wildly paradoxical landscape.

Let’s start with the top down, and that means venturing all the way up to the peak of Mount Gushmore. Up here, at the peak of a whopping 90 feet, Blizzard Beach creates an alpine setting with the use of evergreen and conifer species. Trees such as Spruce pine, Deodar cedar, and Southern red cedar all add to the northern feel at the top of the mountain. While guests may not notice these winter hardy trees while slipping and sliding down Summit Plummet, if you take a leisurely stroll/hike up Mount Gushmore’s stairs they rest majestically along the ledges along the mountainside.

Meanwhile, down at the base of the mountain the tropical foliage native to Florida’s tropical climate returns to the park. This section of Blizzard Beach is home to Meltaway Bay, Tike’s Peak, and Ski Patrol Training Camp. Here the story is encapsulated in the Mexican fan palms, sago palms, Hong Kong orchids, scrambled egg trees, Crinum lilies, Selloum, and Allamanda.

The mix and matching approach of these alpine and tropical plants depends on what section and altitude of the park you happen to find yourself in. There are two ways to see these two landscaping themes blend in with one another. The entrance to the park, including Sonny’s Sleds, Beach Haus, First Aid, and Lottawatta Lodge, features wonderful interplay between the winter and summer designs of the park. Secondly, and my favorite way to tour through the foliage, is to grab a tube and float around on Cross Country Creek. The woody ornamentals and perennials are on full display for guests relishing Blizzard Beach’s version of the lazy river.

Of course, there’s also a simpler way to see the blending of beach and ski resort plant life throughout the park. Just watch the cutouts present in the fencing throughout Blizzard Beach’s walkways. No matter how you choose to take in the wonderful work of Disney’s Horticulture around Mount Gushmore and all of its slippery slopes, it will always be there to help solidify the story of the park. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think it’s time for me to put in at Manatee Landing!

Happy October!!!

It's October!  My favorite month of the year, Max's too.  It's birthday month!

We've had an idea for a few weeks about what we would like to get the Monster for his 10th birthday. We'll be celebrating all month the birth of our amazing son, so we're starting the month with his big present.

To celebrate Max's grand love of music, we thought BIG!  Because Max is BIG!

What's bigger than his own piano?

Of course, Max wanted to play right away with his feet, so we helped him be gentle.

Until we get a box made to put the piano up to a higher height for him to play with his hands while he's in his chair, we'll help him with his hands too.

He sat and listened to Daddy play for a long time.  George kept watch out the window for any attack bunnies.

It's a Baldwin console piano, and just the right size for Max's bedroom.  We had a budget from the sale of Max's CD and some funds we had raised over the past year for Max's music therapy, and the rest of it we paid for.  So if you like, you - Max's supporters helped buy him his big birthday present!

We found it for sale used by a young guy who is starting out his piano restoring business.  He and his friend delivered and tuned the piano as part of the sale.  He showed Steve how he took all the pieces apart, restored or cleaned it, and put it back together.  If you're looking for a piano, or to have one serviced or tuned, we will definitely recommend him to you!

Max had a concert last night as he was getting ready for bed, and another this morning as he was waking up.  I'm going to have to brush up on my piano lessons to remember how to play more than Chopsticks.  But until then, it's good he has a Daddy who can play!

This post brought to you by...**Don't ever tell a new parent their child won't play piano after brain surgery.**

Elizabeth said...

Oh, how wonderful! And I love the last sentence!

ferfischer said...

LOVE LOVE LOVE the last line. Oh, and can you send me the info on the piano guy?

A Confession for Getting Your Prayers Answered

When I ask for something according to God’s will, He hears my prayers. Even if I don’t know what to pray the Holy Spirit intercedes on my behalf. When I pray I release my faith as I believe God and pray in the Spirit. I believe that I receive what I ask for in Jesus’ Name.

I thank and praise God for the answer to my prayer and I believe I have the results by faith. I praise Him with my whole heart because He is good. His mercy endures forever!

Scripture References: 1 John 5:14-15, Romans 8:26, Mark 11:23-24, John 16:23, Philippians 4:6, Psalm 9:1-2, 1 Chronicles 16:34

What to Pack for Vacation: Summer Beach Trip Essentials?

Summer is fast approaching and there is no better time to talk about some beach trip essentials and things to pack for your summer vacation. It is super important to protect yourself when you are outdoors or traveling to beautiful destinations. Here are all the essentials you need to take on your next summer beach trip.

Beach Trip Essentials

  • A beach towel
  • A hat Sunglasses
  • A water bottle
  • Phone in a waterproof case
  • A Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker
  • GoPro and selfie stick
  • Insect repellant and sunscreen

Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen

The first step to sun safety is our sunscreen. You’ll want to look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that screens out both UVA and UVB rays. UV rays can cause damage to your skin cells beyond just sunburn. They can actually contribute to skin aging and skin cancers over time. You should apply your sunscreen 15 minutes before you go outside and at least every 2 hours after that. Apply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. The spray is great for hard-to-reach areas and even a boost of hydration when you are on the go. After that, you will want to apply your insect repellent.

Water & Cool Liquids

Our next essential is water. Dehydration is one way to ruin a trip, so you want to make sure you are getting enough fluids. Don’t just drink when you are thirsty; make sure you always have access to cool liquids.

Wide-Brimmed Hat & Sunglasses

Hats and sunglasses not only complement your look but they can provide some valuable additional protection from the sun. When choosing sunglasses, look for a pair that protect against UVA and UVB rays. Polarizing lenses will cut glare because of reflections, so they are good for driving or outdoor activities in the water. You might also want to get a great case if you are like me and you throw your stuff all over the place.

Camera & Waterproof Case

An action camera like a GoPro and a selfie stick may look and feel ridiculous, but the shots they can capture are worth it. Or you might want to throw your phone in a water-resistant case. Just make sure that if you are a guest in someone else’s country that you show respect and caution. Don’t advertise yourself as a target for theft.

Portable Speaker

Finally, you might want to pack a Bluetooth-enabled portable speaker to use as you lounge with your friends. Again, make sure to be respectful of the surrounding people.

So that’s it for the summer beach trip essentials. In the comments section, let me know what you always bring to the beach. It’s so important to protect our skin from sun damage and a trusted sunscreen is the first step to doing that. UV rays are no joke and no tan is worth the price of your health, so make sure to wear your sunscreen.

Lanre DaSilva Ajayi In An LDA Custom Printed Trouser & Top A The Eventi Cocktail Weekend

This season we are seriously crushing on prints: paisley, stripes, florals...EVERYTHING. The trend is like taking a road trip back to the ‘70s with bold wallpaper prints and wide-legs.

Nigerian-based fashion designer Lanre DaSilva Ajayi of self-named brand also known as LDA for short is definitely feeling the ‘70s vibes!

We spotted her at both the Eventi Cocktail Weekend event organized by Lara Rawa. The event took place last Sunday (13th of April 2014) at the Intercontinental hotel in Victoria Island Lagos.

The fashionista designer was looking refreshed in this blue print patterned ensemble consisting of a short sleeves top and wild-leg trousers custom-made by her.

We are totally crushing on her look which she finished up with her sleek hairstyle and adds a pop of colour with those red lips!

Recently I was fortunate enough to shoot some publicity stills for the upcoming play B*TCH written by Sean Pomposello and directed by Christian Amato.

A fun shoot on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan located near the ever popular High Line Park, it's hard to believe such a beautiful section of the city not so long ago was home to sex clubs and leather bars, but that's another story....

Back to the topic at hand, B*TCH. The comedic story revolves around three brothers who decide to embark on the unpleasant sport of dog fighting, enlisting the help of Uncle Knee Co, a card carrying member of the Mothers and Fathers Italian Association (aka the mob), in order to make big money fast.

After meeting the director and cast and snapping a few photos of the actors in character, I'm sure that the upcoming performances in January, B*TCH will be a hit.

Arthur Aulisi as Uncle Knee Co

Michael Neithardt as Junie

Benjamin Weaver as Mitts

Brian Cheng as Davy Dollar$

Gina Lemoine as Gil

B*TCH will be at The Players Theater from January 5th - 28th.

Review - Little Giant Xtreme Model 17 Multi-Use Ladder

Little Giant Xtreme Multi-Use Ladders Now that Thanksgiving is officially behind us, we are all looking forward to the wondrous Christmas season and are probably busy decking the halls in order to make our home a little merrier...stringing lights, hanging wreaths and trimming the tree.

You might also be busy readying your home for the cold winter weather that lies out gutters, adding caulking and weather stripping around doors and windows, even adding an extra layer of insulation or trimming back limbs away from your home.

In order to finish all of the tasks listed above quickly and SAFELY, a good ladder is essential.  For the last 40 years, Little Giant Ladder has been successfully making the finest ladders in the world (used by NASA, military, Boeing, DirectTV and millions of homeowners), and now all of their learning and know-how has culminated into their finest ladder to date, the Little Giant Xtreme.  Keep reading to learn more!

I received the Little Giant Xtreme Model 17 Multi-Use Ladder from Little Giant, which retails for $359.80 with FREE SHIPPING.

Little Giant Xtreme Model 17 Multi-Use Ladder

The completely new Little Giant Xtreme is a multi-use ladder that combines the strength, safety and versatility of the classic Little Giant Ladder with several new groundbreaking features, including the Comfort Step, AirDeck workstation, user-friendly Rock Locks, and the stronger, safer Quad-Lock hinges.

The integrated Comfort Step serves as a spacious, comfortable standing surface at any height or configuration. When coupled with the AirDeck’s safety handrail, the Comfort Step literally makes you feel like you are standing on solid ground.  This is ever so important for counteracting that dangerous feeling of vertigo that sometimes happens when standing up high on a ladder.

In our home, we have a 12-bulb chandelier that hangs in the center of our foyer.  This chandelier is about 15-18 feet off the ground and is in the middle of the room, with no walls or anything else around to hold on to.  I absolutely dread changing these light bulbs whenever they burn out, but now thanks to the safety handrail on the AirDeck of the Little Giant Xtreme, I won't get those shaky knees and fearful feelings that I will topple off the ladder at any time.

Little Giant Xtreme Multi-Use Ladders
Little Giant Xtreme Multi-Use Ladders

Each side of the Little Giant Xtreme telescopes independently, giving you the option of several sizes of stepladders, from 4 to 9 feet depending on the model you select.  You can also adjust one side to work on staircases or uneven surfaces or as a 90-degree stepladder.  The Quad-Lock hinge even allows you to use the ladder as a wide-flared, multi-height extension ladder (from 11 to 19 feet high).

Finally, the inner and outer ladder assemblies separate to form two trestles for a time-saving scaffolding system. The Little Giant Xtreme is the finest multi-use ladder system in the world and couldn't be easier to configure and use in even the toughest situations.

Little Giant Xtreme Model 17 Multi-Use Ladder

DIY homeowners, general contractors, painters, window cleaners, facility maintenance professionals, landscapers and home decorators are among the many people who will now be able to use the right ladder for the right job every time.  The Little Giant Xtreme ladder is:

  • Lightweight ~ Exclusive aerospace-grade aluminum alloys, commonly used in military aircraft, make the Little Giant Xtreme lighter than any comparable multi-use ladder on the market.
  • Comfortable ~ The Little Giant Xtreme is the only multi-use ladder in the world to feature the Comfort Step, a large built-in standing surface that makes standing on the ladder comfortable and safe, no matter the chosen configuration. Standing on the Comfort Step feels like standing on solid ground.
  • Safe ~ The Little Giant Xtreme meets or exceeds OSHA and ANSI standards.  It is rated to hold 300 lbs. as an extension ladder and as a true two-person, two-sided stepladder.  The AirDeck workstation includes a magnetized tool tray and safety handrail so the user can enjoy the secure feeling of something to hold on to at the top of the ladder.
  • Versatile ~ Capable of working at multiple positions, the Little Giant Xtreme adjusts to the perfect height to reach even the toughest areas, such as stairwells or vaulted ceilings, and it can be used on uneven surfaces, stairs or sloping ground.

If you want to see just how unique and truly easy to use the Little Giant Xtreme Multi-Use Ladder is, then please watch the following demonstration video.  After viewing this, you'll see that there's nothing in the world like the Little Giant Xtreme!

I couldn't be more thrilled with the Little Giant Xtreme Multi-Use Ladder and honestly don't have one bad thing to say about it!  It folds up compactly, is a 24-in-1 ladder for the maximum in versatility, is extremely safe thanks to the AirDeck workstation and Comfort Step platform and it can replace practically every other ladder you already have in your home or garage.  I also love how easy it is to move from room to room or job to job due to the Tip & Glide Wheels.

I've had ladders in the past which were very bulky and heavy, but the included wheels makes moving the Little Giant Xtreme a breeze.  Now, cleaning gutters, putting up drapes or Christmas trees, changing light bulbs or installing holiday lighting can be quick, easy and super safe with the Little Giant Xtreme.  Make a special homeowner on your list VERY happy this year with a Little Giant Ladder!

Random Ramblings

Oscar and Emily left for a week-long visit with friends in Arizona this morning; party!

I have been without chocolate or candy for almost a week now. Strangely, I have dodged the usual cravings. Could the sugar detox have worked, perhaps? We’ll know next week when the dreaded PMS monster makes its monthly appearance.

The Girl’s birthday present arrived yesterday. She is getting the PlayStation Rock Band thingie. It will compliment her Guitar Hero game nicely. Also: I clearly have no sense of self-preservation and fully expect to be driven insane by her “music”.

Speaking of music, The Girl has been practicing her flute every night. I am surprised and pleased by her dedication. Currently, she is rocking the B scale which? I have no idea; I ditched piano practice as a child by knocking on the instructor’s door, running for dear life and then telling my parents that the teacher must not be home as she hadn’t opened the door when I knocked. Obviously I never learned a B scale. Or any other scale for that matter.

The Man-Cub starts wrestling tonight and he is stoked. I picked up the registration forms yesterday and we have approximately one million and ten Pee Wees for whom we will be responsible every weekend for the next two or so months. Yay?

On her way out of town this morning (par-tay!), Emily called to inform us that she had been listening to the news and had heard that there is a recall for my Tahoe. Apparently something in the engine can catch on fire whether the engine is on or not. I am most unhappy at this development and am awaiting a call back from our dealership. Is it wrong that, if my car is jacked; I totally want a brand new one?

I have a meeting of my woman’s club today. They have asked me to run for Secretary of the Board. I reluctantly agreed and am hoping that I will run against someone who can totally kick my ass. Also; I. Am. Such. A. Sucker.

On the topic of suckers (the segues, they are smooth like glass!), the Man-Cub’s Valentine’s Day party is coming up and I have again been asked to provide a snack. I downright refused to make another boring-ass relish tray and will instead be baking my special heart-shaped sugar cookies with drizzled icing. Thank God I didn’t give up cookies for lent. But, this segue was supposed to be about suckers so, I should tell you; The Girl and I are making cinnamon flavored suckers as a gift for her Valentines and, since suckers are technically candy, I will not be indulging in them. Which suuuux.

Thus endeth the rambling.

  1. A B scale? Seriously? That is like one of the hardest ones. Now if it's the B-flat scale, that's a different story ;) Anyway...the scales, they are boring. But it does get better! Yay for The Girl!

    --Jess, former really-good flutist until I rebelled and decided I was going to be a high-powered businesswoman. Yeah. That worked out.

  2. Yeah, pretty sure it's Bb scale; B is damned tough for a beginner. ; ) Go Girl, go! :) Flutists rock! (says the flutist/flute teacher) ; )

This is Going to be Awesome. Or, Slightly Awful. Coin Toss!

Last year, The Teenager played volleyball on a competitive traveling team and she loved it. Although her teammates attended high school in Hooterville instead of here in Petticoat Junction; she fit right in and even made some pretty good friends. Unfortunately, because the team was based in Hooterville, we had to make the drive into town twice a week for practices which, was sort of inconvenient, so; you can imagine my delight when, this year, The Teenager was invited to play for a competitive team being organized here in Petticoat Junction.

No more trips into town. No more finding something to do for two hours while The Teenager practiced (because I was too cheap to drive back and forth, twice). No more worrying that The Teenager was missing out on unofficial team-building activities held during school hours. It's all good, right?

Well, maybeee...unfortunately, the coach of the local team is not someone that we know well and, what we have been told, has been somewhat, well...not negative, but; worrisome enough to cause me some reservations. Not enough to keep the girl from playing, obviously, just enough to make me wonder if the experience this year will be as positive as the experience last year.

On the other hand, since I really have no first-hand knowledge of the coach, I'm going to refrain from making any judgments and just see how it goes. And, I get to start, today, at a meeting to discuss the fundraisers planned by the club. So far, I've heard rumblings about Pampered Chef sales and a three-on-three volleyball tournament; both ideas that I can get behind because I think they will be more popular than the coffee sales fundraiser done by last year's club.

Also, since last year's club was coached by the Hooterville High volleyball coach, preference was given to the girls who actually attended the school, meaning, not my daughter so; with any luck, this year she will see more play-time, even if the coach does get on our nerves and, here in the adult world, we call that compromise.

Special Education Millage Vote - May 5, 2015

On Tuesday, May 5, 2015, voters in Kalamazoo County will be asked to vote on a 6-year, 1.5 mill property tax to help fund the operation of our schools.

Special education services in the county are substantially underfunded, which creates a great deal of pressure on the general education budgets of local school districts. At one time all special education services were funded through dedicated special education sources. However, these sources have not kept up with special education needs.

Since special education services are largely required by federal and state laws, Kalamazo County school districts have had to fund these otherwise unfunded costs out of their limited operating budgets. Districts across Kalamazoo County are now funding approximately $11 million of special education costs from their operating budgets. Kalamazoo Public Schools alone is funding over $5 million from its operating budget, which reduces programming for general education students.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What would be the impact to schools across the county and Kalamazoo Public Schools if this millage question is approved?

A: For many years local school districts have needed to make significant budget cuts, primarily due to the state's underfunding of public education. Kalamazoo Public Schools has cut $10 million over the last five years, and districts across the state have cut amounts more or less proportionate to their sizes. The requirement to spend more of their operating budgets for special education services has created the need for even greater cuts to general education programming. If approved, this millage will be used the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency (KRESA) to substantially or fully reimburse school districts for the existing shortage in special education funding.

Q: How much would this request cost the taxpayer?

A: The proposal would increase taxes by $75 annually for a home with a taxable market value of $100,000.

Q: Who can vote in this election?

A: Any registered voter that resides in a school district within the KRESA service area can vote in this election. Registered voters from all districts in the county may vote: Climax-Scotts, Comstock, Galesburg-Augusta, Gull Lake, Kalamazoo, Parchment, Portage, Schoolcraft and Vicksburg.

Q: When is the last day to register to vote?

A: The last day to register to vote in this election is April 6, 2015.

Q: How can I find out where to vote?

A: You can look up where you vote at the Michigan Voter Information Center

You can also contact the clerk's office in the city or township where you reside. For Kalamazoo voters these offices are as follows:

Q: Can I vote by absentee ballot?

A: You can vote by absentee ballot if you:

Absentee ballots must be requested from the city or township clerk where you reside.

Please Vote

Please vote in this election. The polls will be open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Tuesday, May 5, 2015.

Monopoly Speed Die!

I am a huge fan of Monopoly but like many people I think that it can take a bit longer than most people would like. Because of this fact it can be a bit hard to find willing victims er I mean players. I first encountered the speed die in the Nintendo Wii version of Monopoly and thought that I should have one for the actual board game version. After doing research it looks like there was a version released with the speed die and special rules. I have a few themed version of monopoly already and didn't feel like buying a new copy just for a simple die. I created a custom die and rule card to be used. This can be added to any of the random version that I have.

What do you think of the theory that the earth is hollow and people live within our earth?

#FORCEOFNATURE!We Love you forever and ever!

Barely one month after the Ebonyi state governor  David Umahi’ barred some journalists for life, the governor has also bared Almajirai from migrating into the state as part of the measure adopted by his government to curtain the spread of Coronavirus in the state.

Umahi made the declaration on Wednesday in Abakaliki during a live broadcast after the State Security Council meeting.

Umahi also called on all the herdsmen in the state to keep their cows in check,warning that he would auction without delay any cow that obstruct his convoy again in the state.
He said: ” We will not be afraid to say that there will not be Amajiris in Ebonyi state and the Northern Governors I commend them, they said go to your state of origin. So, why will the youths that want us to fight take to social media to start saying that Amajiris are coming to south east that they should be allowed to come in. Is it part of the social distancing? We will not allow Amajiris in Ebonyi state. Ebonyi will not allow Amajiris, they should go to their state of origin. We have to as a people to begin to tell ourselves the truth.
“I have directed with the Chief security officer to meet with the security people. Please I don’t want to see any cow within the premesis of the centenary city. How can I be struggling with cows to come into government. Please, in the entire centenary city, I don’t want to see any cow. Not just government house, anywhere that is called centenary city; international market, the mall. This is insulting. So, security people should do meeting with the cattle rearers whether it is Hausa cows or Igbo cows because I can also see some Igbo cows and I don’t want to see it again.
” Anyone we see,Attorney General, you move to court to get order of the court to auction it. So, we will not see that again, we will not allow that again”

Share and Enjoy !

Avengers: Infinity War review

Image result for avengers infinity war poster

Avengers: Infinity War

Avengers: Infinity War is the 3rd film in the Avengers series and the 19th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It has an all star cast featuring Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Josh Brolin just to name a few. It is more or less an epic event 10 years and 19 films in the making. Many of us Marvel fans were already aware of the Infinity Gauntlet story line from the comics but for those who do not know; here is a quick rundown. Thanos is a bad guy in the truest definition of the word. He obtains the Infinity Gauntlet with all six infinity stones and wipes out half of all life. The infinity stones are these 6 magical gems that hold incredible power and control a certain aspect of life. The time, space, reality, mind, power, and soul stones were created at the same time as the big bang and were scattered throughout the cosmos. Thanos collects the stones and as I said before, wipes out half of all life. He does this for one reason and one reason only: to impress The Grim Reaper who is a woman in the Marvel Universe. The remaining heroes on Earth band together to stop and succeed in the end. The movie version however is not at all the same.
In the movie Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos is a humble warrior who has grown tired of seeing people die from starvation and over population that he decided that desperate times call for desperate measures. He goes on a quest to collect the infinity stones to wipe out half of all life in an attempt to control the population and bring about peace to the galaxy. The Avengers along with Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange band together to stop Thanos from gathering the stones and wiping out half of all life.
I love this movie with every fiber of my being and I was so pumped for Avengers Endgame that I had already purchased my ticket the day they went on sale. I love everything from Josh Brolin’s stellar performance as Thanos to just the narrative structure of the movie. Since Infinity War is such a large scale movie with so many character, the Russo brothers ( who directed this beautiful work of art) split it into three separate stories with each being led by one of the three founding members of the MCU Avengers. Thor’s story is the first we see as the movie begins with Thanos attacking Thor’s ship that we saw at the end of Thor Ragnarok. It follows Thor going on a quest for revenge against Thanos. He meets the Guardians of the Galaxy and with the help of Rocket Raccoon and Groot, he manages to create an Axe that he believes can kill Thanos. The second story follows Tony Stark and his plan to stop Thanos.  It begins with him talking to his fiance Pepper about having a kid and then he is confronted by Dr. Strange and Bruce Banner who just recently got the snot beaten out of him by Thanos while on Thor’s ship. Tony learns about the Infinity stones and Thanos’ plan to wipe out half of all life. He along with Dr. Strange, Spiderman, and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy travel to Titan ( Thanos’ home planet) to try and beat him there. The third story follows Captain America and his plan to protect the Mind Stone which is inside of Vision’s head. He travels to Wakanda along with Falcon, Black Widow, Vision (who was attacked by one of Thanos’ minions earlier in the movie and is now critically injured), and the rest of the Avengers minus Ant-Man and Hawkeye. They meet up with Black Panther and Winter Soldier who has a shiny new arm to protect Vision and the Mind Stone. If you have already seen the movie then you know these plans all end up failing miserably due to many reasons that would take too long to list here.
Avengers: Infinity War is an Action/Sci-fi film that was 10 years and 19 films in the making. Despite it being an action film, it shares very few characteristics of a typical action movie. The heroes don’t win in the end, The characters all have some sort of depth  to them, and believe it or not but the villain is the main character of the movie. Regardless of all that, the movie features a lot of fighting, explosions, special effects, and a huge budget. It is without a doubt an action film and I hope will go down in history as one of the greatest action films of all time.

The Heart of Our Home

I recently shared with you our new family art room and our various room swaps, but I have not shown you what and how we managed to make space for our living room. I mentioned that we put our living room in the other side of the long room that spans the middle of our home, and the other side is our dining space, and as I said, it was a little bit sad to give up the more formal space, the one with stove, and I'm sure I'll have pangs at Yule, when we won't put our tree up in that room, but in many ways the swap has been very positive. For one thing, every time we have a gathering, people gravitate naturally to the center of our home. For another, the former living room now family art room faces south and has lots of windows, which isn't so conducive to video games or streaming media. And, because this is the way we are, we don't arrange any room without thinking ahead to Yule and we always plan a space for the tree. By having the living room in the center of the home, it's the room that greets company, it's connected to the dining room and kitchen, and it's cozy despite it's stove-less status. This is truly a connected, central family space. It really feels like the heart of our home.

See that rather congested corner by the cellar door? Those pieces will move and that's where the Yule tree will go.

Queen's Radio

Online Radio Queen's Radio, Live Stream and high quality. Listen to the uninterrupted radio.. Dad, just because you gave up your dreams... doesn't mean I have to be the same thing. Look, I don't care where you get it from. Just get it here now! As it stands, we have nothing to feed the Governor and his wife except leftovers. You knew? What? You knew that it wasn't about the job. You knew, and you still let him get arrested. You let me let him walk out this house in handcuffs! What do we really know about Travis and his family anyway? I know that he loves me. So? Dad! All right, yes, I offered him a job, but he turned it down. So you knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, and you let him and his father get arrested anyway? I didn't press charges. The man assaulted me. Listen, sweetheart, they are not Clancy material. Now, they ruined our weekend, and possibly, my chances with the Governor. What am I even still doing here? I'm gonna go get them out of jail. See here, young lady... No, you see here, I don't care what Travis' real name is. I don't care about his peanut allergies, and I don't care if you don't like his family.

Block Pattern - Spring Chickens

For the last 18 months or so, I've been designing the block of the month for my local guild, Capital Quilters.  I keep thinking that I really should share the block patterns here, but have never gotten around to it.  To be fair, I haven't gotten around to much blogging at all lately.  Anyway, here we are!  I'm starting off with Spring Chickens, which is the most recent block I designed.  Of course, you can change up the colours to suit yourself, but I have left my original colour instructions for the guild.

Here is the link to download a pdf with the chicken templates.  Please note, when printing, you must use the "Actual Size" or 100% scale setting, NOT the "Fit" setting.

I really love the idea of my own free range flock of chickens, and fresh eggs every day. My current house isn’t really suitable though, so for the meantime, these gals will have to do. The point here is to choose fabrics that in no way resemble the actual colouring of a chicken - a medium to large scale multi coloured print for the body, with more intense brights for the wing and comb and dark for the legs so that they stand out from the background. For the background, choose a blue-grey fabric, something a little on the dull side, and with enough contrast to your chook body that you see the outline clearly.

Fabric and cutting
For this block, you need:
 - a 9 ½” square of a light or medium fabric that reads blue-grey
 - multicoloured light or bright scrap for chook body
 - small bright scraps for wing and comb - this will be more effective if the fabric reads as a single colour
 - small dark scraps for legs - this will be more effective if the fabric reads as a single colour
 - fusible webbing (steam-a-seam, vliesofix, softfuse, etc)

Trace the chook body, wing, comb and two leg pieces onto the back side of your fusible webbing. Cut out, leaving some extra room around the shapes. Fuse the fusible webbing onto the WRONG SIDE of your chosen fabrics. Carefully cut out the chicken shapes on the line you have traced.

Cut a 9 ½” square from your blue-grey background fabric. Lay the pieces out on your background square. Make sure there is at least ¾” between the lowest part of the feet and the edge of the background fabric. The chicken body should cover the top of the legs and the bottom edge of the comb, so that you only need to sew around the uncovered edges. Once you are happy with the position of all the shapes, fuse in place.

Using your sewing machine, blanket stitch or zigzag stitch around the chicken shapes to secure them to the background fabric. Use a thread to match your applique shapes (you might have to change colour for the different elements), or an invisible thread.

 The block should finish at 9 ½” square.

If you follow me on instagram (@adrianneonthewindyside), you will see that I have started my own quilt with blocks that are similar to these, but set on point.  So far all my chickens are assembled but yet to be stitched down.

I admired and loved your chickens pictures on IG! Thanks for sharing the chicken templates!

NickiJ said...

Mmm, I might have to give these a go. They will go nicely with my chicken quilt I have just made. Thanks for the templates. Your chicken are fun and funky.

Podunk Pretties said...

Thanks for sharing your pattern. We have chickens and I've been wanting to make a chicken quilt for quite some time.

Unknown said...

This is so cool and it's very kind of you to share the template and a tutorial. I've only in the last two weeks attempted appliqué (doing the Penny Sampler course with Rachel at Stitched in Color) so suddenly all those appliqué quilts I've seen but dismissed are now on my To Do list! Will definitely make a chicken block soon! Thanks again.

Kathy@KayakQuilting said...

Thanks so much for sharing this pattern! I've loved following your chicken stories on IG! My son and his fiancé have a cute little flock of chickens and this would be something they would love!!

Teje Karjalainen said...

Stretch of the Week # 7

Rolling out the gastrocnemius (calf)

My preferred tools are a lacrosse ball & a step.

Put the ball on top of the step and let your calf sink into the ball. Roll the ball around the entire surface of the calf. If you can tolerate it, when you find a sore spot just sit and hold until that sensation alleviates.

Do not roll so hard that you are in agony as you can often create inflammation (or add to it) by doing this too aggressively.

I like to roll out the calf first followed by a calf stretch (see #stretchoftheweek #3). Try rolling each calf for a minute or two and then do a 30 second stretch 3 times (both legs). This would be a great routine post-run/exercise!

The UK’s proposed scheme for early access to unlicensed medicines should be launched as soon as possible, a panel of experts has told the government.

The Expert Group on Innovation in the Regulation of Healthcare also urges ministers to conclude funding arrangements for the scheme, and calls on the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to press for “available legal flexibilities” to be used to get innovative new treatments speedily to patients.

Also, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) “should be pressed to launch a call for adaptive licensing at the earliest opportunity, so that companies could put forward pilot products,” says the Group, which was established in June 2012 following Prime Minister David Cameron’s 2011 Strategy for UK Life Sciences.

In relation to quality, safety and efficacy, the concept of adaptive licensing would need to relate to a more proactive use of existing flexibilities in European Union (EU) law; the development of new or revised legislation requires a lengthy process, says the Group.

It also points out that, this year, EMA is due to publish a number of retrospective case studies for adaptive licensing, together with guidance and a call for products to go through the process, but UK-based companies have been reluctant to come forward with specific pilot products for adaptive licensing until the details of EMA’s proposals are made clearer.

“When they are able to do so, areas that are government priority areas for action, such as antimicrobials or rare or debilitating diseases where there is unmet medical need, might be suitable candidates,” the Group suggests.

It also calls on the government to consider adopting a designation that “would send signals to investors” – as the US breakthrough designation does – perhaps in the context of the proposed UK Early Access Scheme, and for MHRA to press for Europe to consider a similar approach at EU level, “bearing in mind the need to progress quickly on this agenda, given the apparent early success of the US designation.”

Steve Bates, chief executive at the BioIndustry Association (BIA),  welcomes the Group’s recommendations, pointing out that, in just a year since the new US new breakthrough designation rules were put in place, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 32 drugs such designations and has already approved two of them.

“As well as holding the potential to significantly accelerate such treatments to those patients who need them, breakthrough designation has had a positive effect on the companies developing the products and on the investment community’s perceptive of those companies,” he added.

Chris Shiflett's Blog:
PHP Advent
Dec 01, 2010 @ 16:11:18

Good news for all of the fans of the PHP Advent article series that comes around this time each year - Chris Shiflett has confirmed it'll be happening again this year.

PHP Advent is our little way of showcasing some of the talented people who work with PHP in some form or fashion, and persuading them to share something they've learned during a busy month when they might otherwise keep quiet. We'll be publishing an article each day in December until Christmas.

If you're new to the PHP Advent (or advent-type article calendar things), check out last year's articles from lots of great members of the PHP community covering everything from development processes, technology tips and parenting.

Single frame job updates

Posted on October 19, 2016 in Blog \ News

As we expected and hoped the recent farm management software upgrade to allow, we have expanded our support of tiled render jobs a little bit.  Internally, we can split single frame jobs up into smaller pieces, to better take advantage of the highest Power levels.  A few output format restrictions have been softened.  We can now tile render single frame Terragen jobs that have additional output defined.

We’re still working through a few of the improvements internally, and some of them will require a new agent release to be realized.  For the time being, though, single frame jobs are working better than ever.

Now, if only C4D Team Render was scriptable…

Ofam in Tofino - Day 4

 I'm writing this on Sunday, July 4, exactly one week after Day 4 of our vacation.

We've since driven home (during the hottest day in the history of time) (listening to rap music) (I deserve an award) hosted a two night sleepover (Drew and Dani and their two cats moved into my TV room on Monday night), worked a couple days, recognized Canada Day by myself, with no celebrations, (because inevitably someone would be offended) (and I had zero energy to plan something, regardless) cleaned the lake house, did a 24 hour read-a-thon with a friend (finished 3 books), connected with/prayed for a couple friends who's husbands had major surgery this week, listened to church online, for probably the last time, and spent today reading on my lawnchair in the lake (until two families with three dogs decided to share my shore space and have their dogs fetch balls beside me.) ... so what I'm saying, is that alot of living has happened between last Sunday and today. And even though its only been a week, it feels like forever.

June 27.

Clint was up early (5:30 a.m.-ish) and out of our rental before 6, in order to get to Port Alberni, meet his team, unload his equipment and get on the shuttle boat by 9 am. He would be filming on a commercial salmon fishing vessel for most of the day. (Temperatures in Tofino remained in the mid-20's. In Port Alberni, they were like the rest of the province: 41 degrees.) He drove back 'round 8 pm with sunburnt eyeballs. (Full sun, on the water, with all the reflections, while filming with no eye protection. Being a video producer isn't always all that sexy).

I got up around 11 and made cheese biscuits for those of us still fully in vacation mode.

(Yes, I premeasured all the ingredients and brought them in a ziplock bag. I love my family THAT much.) And, to be honest, I love cheese biscuits, warm from the oven with a dab of butter, so I kinda baked them for myself, too.

The kids played board games while I cleaned up the kitchen, then I went to the beach. Eventually they all joined me, and we spent the afternoon reading, tanning, walking ... The most laid back of vacations. Don't tell us we missed out on something if only we'd hiked, or biked, or explored or drove around. All of us were in complete agreement to DO NOTHING but relax. And we are EXPERTS at relaxing. I love that about us. There are so many things we do not agree on, but we seem to do this well. Vacations and vaccinations. Those are our sweet spots.

(Actually, I was a little worrried about our weekend together, and the possibility that they'd all be bored. After all, it's been a decade since we'd travelled together, and they may have expectations... But after I'd posted a list of fun options of things to DO in Tofino, it was universal. "No thanks. Can't we just sit on the beach?")

Late afternoon snack was hotdogs and sundaes from Chocolate Tofino; supper was halibut and chips in the backyard and then we just went back to the beach because. Because that's what you do. The air was fresh, clean, cool. The view was calming, beautiful, majestic. I don't know what was on my kids' minds as we just sat and stared, but my mind and heart were saying, "Thank you. Thank you for THIS. This place, these people, this time, these feelings. Thank you for my family, this blessed life I get to live. Thank you that I didn't die from breast cancer. Thank you that it worked out for all of us to spend some time together. Thank you for protecting us through Covid. Thank you for smart people and doctors and that I get to live in a country where medicine is available. Thank you for sand. And waves. And the ocean. And sand dollars and jelly fish and sons and daughter-in-law(s) and parents and siblings and cousins and friends and co-workers. Thank you. Thank you for loving me. For loving my kids. Thank you for the job opportunities they have. Thank you that their housing needs are met. Thank you for having a plan, a good plan, for each of them. Thank you for holding them close, keeping an eye on them when they wander. Thank you for sunsets. Moon rises. Stars. Shooting stars. Thank you for summmmmmmer."

I spent alot of time, praying/chatting with the Almighty while I sat on that shore. I just felt so very loved. Like He was saying, "I'm glad you finally got here. Pretty cool, eh? I knew you'd like it. Look over here - and there - and wait til tonight..." It all felt so personal. So perfect. Like this is exactly what He'd been planning when we made the reservations last February. It was a birthday gift from Him to me, because He knows me so well.

But there's that other thing. That thing that makes my heart so sad.

On the day before my birthday, 215 unmarked graves were discovered on the grounds of the Kamloops Residential School. And since then, hundreds more have been uncovered at other Residential Schools across Canada.

And I just ache.

I decided to donate $215 towards Residential School survivors and paint 215 rocks with orange paint in their design, to raise awareness. My goal is to have them painted and left on random trails and paths and parks and green spaces by Sept 30 (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation).  And even though I don't know who those 215 are, God does. So as I place a rock, I pray for the grieving family of that missing child. May God comfort them and fill them with peace.

So while I was sitting on that beach, feeling so very loved, I prayed for those families that were suffering and sad and in pain. Vancouver Island, more so than, say Surrey or Langley, was filled with signs and towns and communities with Indigenous names.

I left a couple of those rocks on my short walk between our rental and our beach, and near any stores we shopped at:

The next morning (Monday, June 28) Clint got up at 5:30 am, again, to get to Duncan to do another couple video shoots.

Max, Drew, Danica and I left at 10 am. We were three hours early for our ferry (and ten minutes late for the one before), so we hung out in the mall in Nanaimo. We were home by 7. And within an hour, Max was back at my mom's to pick up his air conditioner (he lives in Vancouver now) and Drew and Dani were back with suitcases, litter pans, and cat food. Their place in Abby was 42 degrees inside.

And with that? We were done.
A good practice run before (maybe? Hopefully? God-willing?) we go to Europe next Spring.
Fingers crossed.

Three things I'm thankful for:

1. Photographs and memories.
2. Laughter. I said and did some stupid things which, thank goodness, ended up being more funny than annoying, adding much levity to our dinners out.
3. So grateful for my mom's generous birthday cheque, making the whole trip possible.

When You Can't Feel God's Presence

I've been thinking a lot today about how hard it is to feel God's presence in the world sometimes.

I know that might seem a shocking admission to some of you, but I've learned that it's better to face these kinds of challenges rather than just sweep them under the rug.  Doubts are simply a part of faith, after all.

I have a feeling that there are more than a few of us who ponder what God is up to when things aren't going all that great in the world, or in our own lives.

So how do you know that God is there---especially when things are hard?  How can you feel God's presence, when you feel all alone in the universe?  How do you hear God's voice when you cry out and all you get is what feels like stony silence?

I  don't have an easy answer to this, I'm afraid.  I mean, the answer seems easy, but it's actually really complicated.  The good news is there is some simplicity on the other side of the complexity---which is kind of a universal pattern.

It comes down to two seemingly simple things:  Trust and Awareness.

Let me explain by way of a poem by Langston Hughes that I read the other day:

I have seen nothing but you.
Every day.
Has been your face,
And every night your hand
And every road
Your voice calling me.
And every rock and every flower and tree
Has been a touch of you.
Have I seen anything else but you…

As I read this poem, I feel a longing within me to feel what the poem is describing.  Fortunately, there have been times in my life when I have felt God that palpably, so I know that it's possible even if I happen to be struggling at the moment to connect with it.

I've learned that it's not enough to merely say that you believe in God.  Belief is tenuous.  Belief is often wrong-headed and incomplete and typically based on information that is transmitted to us by others, or through our faith traditions.

But trust... now that's something altogether different.

Trust is deeper than belief because it's something that you know. You feel it deep within you.  Most of the time you can't really explain it because to try and do so doesn't do it justice.

Trust is often forged in struggle and abetted through faithful study, but it is realized by nothing less than your own gut feelings and lived-through experience.

And the thing about trust is that when you learn to surrender and embrace it, you discover newfound freedom for awareness.

When you can say, "I don't know much, but at the very least, I trust that God is all around me," you will find that you are freed, at last, to cast your gaze about and take in a world that is absolutely dripping with the glory of God's love and holiness.

Because trust allows you to live in expectation of God's presence, and as you begin to look with the expectation of seeing God you will suddenly begin to perceive the sacred nature of everything.

Every bit of Creation is imbued with the potential for sacramentality and can not only point us to God, but also reveal God's presence and make us more aware of what God is doing in the world.

May you go out into the world today trusting in the presence of God all around you and in you. May your eyes be opened to the holiness and beauty of God's presence in all of Creation, and even in the people whom you encounter as you move through your day...

And may the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you now and always. Amen.
