This space has been a labor of love!
Built in the 40s, our house was originally constructed with three bedrooms, and this room was one of them. Then, in the 80s, the previous owner added the second story, which included two more bedrooms. A few years after we moved in, we opened up the wall that leads into the kitchen, and decided to make this room our TV den. Although we lost a bedroom, the renovation really improved the natural lighting. We thought about making this room into a second dining area, but I didn't like the overall feel, and since we didn't have a place for our TV in the main living space, we decided a TV den would make the most sense. When looking at pieces for our project, I knew I wanted our new TV room to be comfy, but stylish! I thought about buying a sectional, but I knew that it would close off the room. When I found the Xander sofa by Jonathan Louis, I quickly noticed it was really deep and comfortable, but also stylish and quirky. I also loved the bolster style back pillows. When choosing the fabric, I knew I wanted to divert from my normal white sofa, and choose something that would compliment the new paint color (pink shadow by Sherwin Williams). Jonathan Louis has many options to choose from, but we went with a deep blue color, called "modern ink." We also picked these Mongolian pink fur pillows, filled with pluma plush inserts, to compliment the wall color.
For the art, I was sent a piece from the owners of Mister Sister, who I met on my trip to Portland, and we instantly connected! Check them out for fun, eclectic vintage pieces.
I wanted the art flanked by sconces, and found these great pieces on Amazon. I wanted the sconces to be traditional, yet funky, and these did the trick! Here is the link to those sconces, and cord covers.
The room already boasted built-in shelves that housed our books, records, and record player. The rug is a 150-year-old Turkish kilim, and is one of my first rug purchases.
From an extra bedroom to comfy TV den, this space really transformed into a room we love to spend time in. Thanks to the beautiful Jonathan Louis sofa and ottoman, this room really turned into our comfy, eclectic space I had envisioned from the start. Make sure to check out their website to find Jonathan Louis retailers.
So the remodel is just about completed.
There are a couple more things to do, like touch up paint, install a few new light fixtures and add some more special pieces. One of my favorite new pieces is the table from Poly & Bark. I love the way it adds a clean, but spacious vibe. I've had these ghost chairs for almost 4 years now, and I knew they would compliment the table perfectly! Here are some before and after photos. I love how open it feels!

So I feel like I have already failed at this blog thing! I have so much going on that it's hard to set aside time to write out everything and process this crazy thing called life.
So if you are looking for a peaceful place to stay in the busyness of Marrakech Riad Jardin Secret is for sure the place.
One of the most enriching parts of our trip was our stay in Fez with our friend and his family. He was our driver on our first trip, and on our five-hour drive, we ended up sharing our stories. His was very similar to mine with similar struggles with drugs, alcohol, and broken relationships. It's amazing how God places us in situations to share our stories to resonate with others in deeper ways.
From that one conversation, God gave me a new brother. A brother that would be a constant source of prayer and friendship, even though we live 6,000 miles apart. This last trip, we planned a time to meet his family and children. It was cool to see how a true Moroccan lives, eats, and sleeps. His family welcomed us with open arms and loved us like we were their own. He took us to an amazing place to shoot in Fez, and it was for sure one of the most epic places we have styled a shoot.
I feel so grateful to have friends that became family. Even though our cultures are completely different, we were brought together by a loving God and by living life on purpose.
We were also able to attend a Moroccan wedding, which was an experience of a lifetime. When our friend, Ismail, asked us to attend his wedding, we felt so honored. It was by far one of the most beautiful weddings I have attended, and experienced traditions that blew me away.
Over all, our entire trip was blessed! I am so grateful to experience things I would have never dreamed of 7 years ago. God is so sweet to allow someone so underserving of these life experiences to enjoy these beautiful moments that can only be described as His creation and beauty.
I am so happy to be home, and now find myself in the midst of home renovations. Can't wait to show ya'll more of this process!
I thought it was about time for me to jump on this blog train. I have blogged in the past when I was living in Haiti, about how I was learning and growing spiritually; but blogging has changed since then. I feel called to this area of the web, a place to share my heart, design, style, and love for photography.
My days in Haiti were filled with loving on orphans, teaching in tent camps, and learning to love myself again. Now my days are filled with styling, photography, being a wife, teaching Bible studies, and learning how to be an honest and loving business owner. It's hard to believe that 7 years ago, I was living on a mattress on the floor, two streets down from where I live now. To say my life is different now is an understatement. My past was filled with drugs, alcohol, and low self worth. It's sometimes hard to believe that this is my life now, and that I can live in my passions and gifts. I'm excited to share more of my redemption story through this platform, and explain how I got to where I am now.
My husband and I live in an historical neighborhood in a house that dates to the early 1940's. We are slowly renovating, and I will be sharing the progress with you on this blog! Let's just say we are knockin' some "ish" down! My husband and I moved from West Palm Beach, FL back to my hometown of Greenville, NC over a year and half ago, and so far, we really love it. It was really difficult to imagine living in the same town where I experienced so much heartbreak, but God calls us to be uncomfortable in life sometimes. I'm glad I didn't let my past keep me from where I know I belong. Living here has been such a life changing experience. My career has taken on new shapes, and I've seen God move in my life and business tremendously. We are certain that we are right where we belong.
So here we are, living in Eastern NC, where my business has turned into something I could have never dreamt. A lot of people ask me on Instagram, "how did you start doing what you're doing now?" And the answer is a lot of faith! I knew from a young age I was called to do something creative. I went to a fine arts school where I majored in painting and printmaking, which I feel has helped me so much in my composition with interiors and photography. My passion is to help others create magical spaces where they can find peace and rest. Not only do I get to create these spaces, but I also get to capture them with photography, which I am finding is unique to my business. I also love capturing other's spaces they have worked so hard to curate, which you often see on my feed. I do a lot of product styling for companies, and I am now venturing into incorporating my personal style, and how it inspires my interior styling.
But the most important part of what I do, and what is at the core of my work, is the hope I want to bring to this lost world. We all have a story to tell. My story, which I hope to share more of, has made me who I am today. I was healed from my past for a purpose, and I know that is to help people see the light they so desperately long for. I was so lost 7 years ago with no hope, no home, and no worth. I stand tall today knowing who I am and what I am meant for. I know that my story, along with yours, is to be shared in order to bring hope and inspiration to those who are hurting. Trust me, I am a hot mess and have so much to work on, but I hope I can take the lessons I'm learning, not only in my business, but also in my life to help you find the light inside of you.
So cheers to a new year and new beginnings! I can't wait to share some of my tricks, styling advise, personal style, and life lessons with you all! You all are amazing!

Nemschoff has been making high-quality furniture for healthcare and other high-use environments since 1950. In recognition of its consistent best-in-class quality, the company was acquired by contract furniture leader Herman Miller in 2009. Today, Nemschoff offers a comprehensive portfolio of products supporting the entire care continuum, and continues to be a frequent recipient of design awards for its innovative products.
Nemschoff publishes a comprehensive annual catalog that serves as the source of truth for pricing information and specification decisions that dealers and customers must make. But, producing the catalog was a daunting, highly manual task, which often resulted in many inaccuracies. Long term, these inaccuracies led to incorrect orders and increased cost to Nemschoff.
ThoughtForm analyzed the catalog, pinpointing users' communication needs and where the catalog fell short. ThoughtForm redesigned the catalog to help users find desired products more easily and to better recognize each product's value. We also developed a production system that automates the flow of Nemschoff's price data directly into publishing files, increasing speed to market and improving the accuracy of information.
Created a new catalog design that supports users, while highlighting brand value.
Implemented a new, streamlined production system.
Successfully introduced the new changes to the organization.

Overview [1]
Events in east Jerusalem: This past week hostilities in east Jerusalem escalated, peaking on May 10, 2021, when Israel celebrated Jerusalem Day. Once the violence and rioting had begun, the Palestinian terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip started firing massive barrages of rockets at Israel.[2]
Terrorist attacks: This past week Border Police fighters prevented a shooting attack at the Salem Crossing (west of Jenin), planned by three armed, shooting Palestinians. The fighters shot the terrorists, killing two and seriously wounding the third, who was evacuated to a hospital. There were also several incidents of rock-throwing, the most serious of which occurred near the Lion Gate in east Jerusalem, when a Palestinian mob attacked an Israel driver who lost control of his vehicle.
The Israeli security forces exposed a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) network in Judea and Samaria which financed terrorist activities with funds sent by humanitarian aid agencies and NGOs operating mainly in Europe.
The international arena: This past week Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Maliki visited Moscow and Ankara and met with the foreign ministers. PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh met in Ramallah with foreign representatives and took them on a tour of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in east Jerusalem.
Coronavirus: This past week there was a decrease in the extent of Covid-19 cases in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip.
Judea and Samaria
Events in east Jerusalem
This past week hostilities escalated between rioting Palestinians and Israeli police in east Jerusalem. The confrontations were mainly at al-Aqsa mosque and in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.[3] The worst rioting was on May 10, 2021, when Israeli celebrated Jerusalem Day, and thousands of Palestinians who had barricaded themselves on the Temple Mount confronted police. The riots triggered the massive rocket fire strikes from the Gaza Strip.
On the evening of May 10, 2021, after the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, the rioting was renewed, although it was smaller in scale. During the riots a tree near al-Aqsa was set on fire and caused a larger fire which could be seen from a distance. The fire was quickly put out. The social networks posted claims that the fire was caused by stun grenades used by the Israeli police, while the police said it was started by a Molotov cocktail thrown by one of the rioters.

During the night the riots spread to Nablus, Bethlehem, Ramallah and other locations in Judea and Samaria. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that two hundred Palestinians had been injured. Israeli Arabs also rioted in some of Israel's mixed cities.
A solidarity demonstration was held in the city of Lod, during which a local Arab resident was murdered. Palestinian spokesman related to his death. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem praised "our people in Lod" who rose up to defend Jerusalem. He added that the uprising emphasized the unity of the Palestinian people in every location in "historical Palestine," and he called on all Palestinians in all the cities in Judea and Samaria and Israel [sic] to continue confronting Israel (Palinfo Twitter account, May 11, 2021). The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) also praised the residents of Lod (Dunia al-Watan, May 11, 2021).
Shooting attack
On May 7, 2021, Border Police fighters and the IDF prevented a shooting attack at the Salem Crossing (west of Jenin). Three Palestinians driving from the prayers in al-Aqsa mosque exited the vehicle, which had halted for a security check. Armed with guns and knives and firing their weapons, they advanced towards the gate of the Border Police base at the site. Border Police fighters shot at them, killing two and critically wounding the third, who was evacuated to a hospital.
Hamas praised the attempted terrorist attack, claiming Israel's ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people demanded a comprehensive national stance on the friction between Palestinians and settlers in the West Bank (Sawa, May 8, 2021).
Terrorist operative who carried out the shooting attack at the Tapuah Junction captured
One of the yeshiva students shot and mortally wounded in the terrorist attack at the Tapuah Junction on May 2, 2021, succumbed to his wounds.
On May 5, 2021, three days after the attack, the terrorist who perpetrated it was captured near the village of Silwad (north of Ramallah). He was Muntaser Shalabi, 44, from the village of Turmus Aya (northeast of Ramallah). IDF forces raided his house, during
which local Palestinian villagers rioted.

In response to the capture of the terrorist, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said that it was only a matter of time before the "sweeping revolution explodes in Israel's face." He said the Palestinian who carried out the attack at the Tapuah Junction had become a symbol and an example of the capabilities of the "resistance" [i.e., Palestinian terrorism] (Filastin al-Yawm, May 6, 2021). Senior PIJ figure Muhammad al-Hindi said in an interview that the Palestinians would continue the path of Muntaser Shalabi and that the battle was ongoing. He said they called on "everyone" to unite around Jerusalem and that people like Muntaser Shalabi had to be encouraged (al-Mayadeen, May 6, 2021).
Rocks Molotov cocktails and events
In the meantime, in Judea and Samaria Palestinians continued throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli civilians and vehicles driving on the roads, with a significant increase in events, probably the result of recent tensions. On May 10, 2021, rocks were thrown at an Israeli vehicle on the Jericho Road near the Lion Gate in east Jerusalem. The driver lost control of the vehicle and was attacked by a mob of Palestinians. He was saved by a policeman. Two people were superficially wounded (Rescue Without Borders in Judea and Samaria, May 10, 2021).

On May 5, 2021, Sayid Yusuf Awada, 16, from the village of Awadla, south of Nablus, was shot and killed, and two other Palestinians were wounded when an IDF force opened fire at Palestinians throwing Molotov cocktails. The Palestinian media strongly condemned the killing. Mahmoud Abbas spoke with the boy's father (Wafa, May 7, 2021). According to Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for Mahmoud Abbas, the Israel government ("the occupation") continues its [alleged] policy of "killing and executing" Palestinians and imposing "collective punishment." He called on the international community to defend the Palestinians in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and Sheikh Jarrah from Israel (Wafa, May 6, 2021). The PIJ condemned the killing of the boy, saying his death will not have been in vain (Filastin al-Yawm, May 6, 2021).
Other prominent events were the following:[4]
May 10, 2021: Palestinians placed rocks and tires near the Israeli community of Migdalim (southwest of Nablus) and threw rocks at the civilian security force that arrived at the location. One man was superficially injured.
May 10, 2021: Rocks were thrown at an Israeli vehicle near Luban al-Sharqia (northeast of Ramallah). The vehicle, which was damaged, belonged to an Israeli Arab, who was superficially injured.
May 10, 2021: Molotov cocktails were thrown at the western fence of Kiryat Arba, causing a fire. No casualties were reported.

May 9, 2021: An Israeli civilian mistakenly drove into Qalqilya (east of Nablus), and was attacked by Palestinians who stole his vehicle. He said several suspicious Palestinians halted the vehicle, threatened him with a knife and yanked him out of the driver's seat, stole the vehicle and drove off.
May 7, 2021: The Israeli security forces stationed at a roadblock near the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron detained a Palestinian woman after finding a knife in her bag. She was taken for interrogation.

May 6, 2021: Rocks were thrown at an Israeli vehicle southeast of Nablus. The driver was superficially injured.
Money from Europe for humanitarian activity used to fund terrorist activity
The Israeli security forces exposed a network in Judea and Samaria that used funding from humanitarian aid agencies and NGOs operating in Europe to finance the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The agencies and organizations operated in many European countries and collections millions of euros for humanitarian aid. Investigation revealed that PFLP institutions fooled the European humanitarian aid organizations by reporting on fictitious projects, providing false documents, forging and inflating bills, falsifying tenders, forging documents and bank stamps, and reporting inflated salaries.
Four PFLP "activists" were taken for interrogation (Israeli Security Agency website, May 6, 2021).
Taysir Abu Sharbak, 47, from Ramallah, accountant for the health committees.
Sayid Abedat, 46, from Ramallah, formerly accountant for the health committees, fired in 2019 for embezzlement.
Amro Hamouda, 46, from al-Bireh, former director of the health committees' purchasing department.
Huwani Mashrawi, 63, from Beit Sahour, who had Spanish citizenship. She worked for the health committees for many years, in charge of for receiving donations from European countries.
Israel's South
Rocket and mortar shell fire into Israel
The events in east Jerusalem triggered a serious escalation of rocket fire from the Gaza Strip. Between May 4 and 9 six rockets were fired into Israel. However, beginning on May 10, 2021, after a Hamas ultimatum to Israel, the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, primarily Hamas and the PIJ, initiated massive rocket strikes against Israel which continued as of noon, May 11, 2021.
On May 9, 2021, two rockets were fired at the southern coastal city of Ashqelon and at the Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip border. One rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome aerial defense system. Another fell into the sea. Two more rockets were fired and fell inside the Gaza Strip.
On the night of May 8, 2021, a rocket was fired into Israeli territory, falling in an open area. In response IDF aircraft attacked a Hamas military post in the southern Gaza Strip (IDF spokesman, May 9, 2021). The Palestinian media reported that two "resistance" posts were attacked east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip (Wafa, Filastin al-Yawm, May 9, 2021).
On the morning of May 10, 2021, three rockets were fired into Israeli territory. One was intercepted by the Iron Dome aerial defense system (IDF spokesman, May 10, 2021). Two civilians were injured as they ran to take cover (Barzilai Hospital spokesman's unit, May 10, 2021). In response IDF tanks attacked four Hamas posts near the border security fence (IDF spokesman, May 10, 2021).
At 18:00 in the evening on May 10, 2021, seven rockets were fired at the area around Jerusalem. Immediately thereafter the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip began firing massive barrages of rockets into Israeli territory, especially at the southern coastal city of Ashqelon, the western Negev city of Sderot and the Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip border. By 12:00 noon on May 11 more than 250 rockets had been fired at Israel (reported in a separate ITIC bulletin).
Following the events in Jerusalem, the IED and incendiary balloon-launching units in the Gaza Strip called for a general mobilization and renewal of their activity. During the past few days dozens of incendiary balloons have been launched into Israeli territory, causing fires in the communities near the Gaza Strip and disrupting train service, causing roads to be closed and damaging crops and nature reserves. On May 10, 2021, a large balloon with an IED attached was found near an community in the western Negev, while a cluster of balloons was found in another community with two hand grenades attached (western Negev spokesman's unit, May 10, 2021). The night harassment units also renewed their activities, with operatives bussed in from various locations in the Gaza Strip.
Developments in the Gaza Strip
Distribution of the funds from Qatar
Mohammed al-Emadi, chairman of Qatar's National Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza, announced the distribution of another $100 million in humanitarian aid for needy families in the Gaza Strip. The distribution began on May 7, 2021, each family receiving $100. The funds were distributed through the Hamas post office bank branches (Dunia al-Watan, May 8, 2021).

Statements from senior Hamas figures for Iran's World Jerusalem Day
For World Jerusalem Day (an event initiated by Iran and marked by Muslims around the globe on the last Friday of Ramadan) a forum was held with the participation of the leaders of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip. Some of the statements made were the following (al-Mayadeen, May 5, 2021):
Isma'il Haniyeh, head of Hamas' political bureau, praised Iran while relating to the events in east Jerusalem. He said the Palestinian people would be victorious over the "occupation" and its soldiers, police, and settlers as it had been victorious in its battle against the metal detectors and [the barriers Israel erected at] the Damascus Gate. He said it proved the Palestinian people would not surrender but would defend al-Aqsa mosque and Jerusalem, and they all shouted "With our souls and blood we will redeem you, al-Aqsa," and "Prepare your swords, we are all men of Muhammad Deif." He also said the battle for Jerusalem was open and the Palestinians were still in danger, especially when settlers threatened to break into al-Aqsa mosque on Jerusalem Day. He called for Palestinians to take a strong position to defend al-Aqsa mosque and to support the firm stance of the Palestinians in Jerusalem.
PIJ leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah said Israel had occupied Jerusalem, calling the city its capital to symbolize its control of Palestine. He said Israel was working to remove the Palestinian presence through "ongoing destruction" and using force to take control of the houses of the original residents with the objective of Judaizing the holy Islamic city.
Abu Ahmed Fuad, deputy PFLP secretary general, said he was speaking on behalf of Ahmed Saadat, the organization's secretary general, who was imprisoned in Israel. He said the significance of World Jerusalem Day was that Israel had to disappear. He stressed that the PFLP would continue its struggle until all "Palestine" had been liberated by the "resistance." He added that the PFLP was an ally of the "resistance axis" and promised they would continue the path of [the late] Qassem Soleimani, [former] commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps' Qods Force, and would devote all their energy to the "resistance" and an armed struggle.
Shtayyeh meets with representatives of foreign countries
PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh reported he had met in Ramallah with representatives of foreign countries. He asked them for immediate intervention to stop Israel's activities in Jerusalem and the holy sites, and to keep Israel from expropriating houses and expelling residents from their homes in east Jerusalem. He said Israel's legal system was politically directed against a Palestinian presence in the city and that an uprising of east Jerusalemites would restore the Palestinian cause to top of the world's list of priorities (Muhammad Shtayyeh's Facebook page, May 11, 2021).
On May 11, 2021, the consuls and representatives of European countries visited Sheikh Jarrah, met with local families and heard their side of the story about the current situation. According to the Palestinian media the representatives said what was happening was not legal and would lead to tension (Wafa, May 11, 2021).

PA foreign minister visits Moscow and Ankara
On May 5, 2021, Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Maliki arrived in Moscow as part of a series of visit to discuss developments related to the Palestinian cause. He met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and gave him a message from Mahmoud Abbas for Putin, thanking Russia for its support and for the coronavirus vaccines it sent to the PA. He informed Lavrov of the circumstances which had forced the PA to postpone the elections to the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), adding that it was out of the question to hold elections without the participation of east Jerusalem. He claimed Israel did not honor the agreements it had signed with the Palestinians and called on Russia to exert pressure on Israel to allow the elections to be held (TASS, Dunia al-Watan, May 6, 2021).
From Russia al-Maliki went to Ankara, where he met with the Turkish foreign minister. Al-Maliki told him that Israel's attack on al-Aqsa mosque demanded a rapid response from the international community and measures that would prevent [Israel's] continued aggression and defend the Palestinian people in Jerusalem (Wafa, May 8, 2021).

PA elections postponed
"Fatah sources" reported that Mahmoud Abbas wanted to hold elections by the end of the year or by the middle of 2022, even if Israel allows them to be held in east Jerusalem now. According to the sources, Mahmoud Abbas does not want to deal with internal Fatah tensions, and wants to impose sanctions on all Fatah members who expressed support for independent slates for the PLC elections. The sources also said that Mahmoud Abbas would continue exerting pressure on Hamas in the West Bank to prevent an escalation and would ask PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh to freeze limiting some of the sanctions on the Gaza Strip (al-Akhbar, May 5, 2021).
Mahmoud al-Zahar, a member of Hamas political bureau, said the PLC agreed to form a government or a national community, which could legally be done. He said it was currently preferable to say goodbye to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and build the Palestinian house on a genuine national foundation (Dunia al-Watan, May 4, 2021).
Ahmed Bahar, deputy PLC speaker, said Mahmoud Abbas' decision to postpone the elections was a blow to democracy and the efforts to reach an internal Palestinian reconciliation. He said postponement meant the current PLC would continue to function as the Palestinian legislative branch until elections were held. He called for the PLC to be reactivated and to impose its authority on Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip (Dunia al-Watan, May 5, 2021).
The Spread of Covid-19

Here is a reading from today's daily office.
Today, let's ponder how our prayer life has brought us wisdom.
Applying what we know, living by the word of God, is our work.
When I read the words of Isaiah in the 61st chapter, "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God . . ." I want to be like the author of that text and rejoice, exult in my God.
Yet, my ability to do so is limited; it is an experience of failure. I cannot consistently rejoice, exult, or believe that God will not rest until the light God has placed in me "shines out like the dawn."
My pitfall shows up in my closest relationship, my marriage. Both my husband and I brought plenty of wounds into our marriage, as I would guess most brides and grooms do. Identifying those wounds and calling in the resources of heaven to clean and bind up those open sores is something the couple is required to do for itself.
At the close of 2012, I felt that I was given enough light to name a deeper layer of our ache than I had previously been able to accurately identify. My husband also desires the application of God's salve, so together we are practicing staying in empathetic connection.
Returning to Isaiah 61, if we allow God to clothe us in the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness, we will know ourselves by a new name, and experience ourselves to be a crown of beauty in the Lord's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of God.
Has God's light revealed deeper work for you to do?

So you've lived in Memphis all your life and have never been to Graceland?
Doesn't make sense to me, but you have your reasons, and I've heard most of them. You don't care about Elvis or you think the souvenirs are tacky or you believe the fans should "get a life."
So you're a local and you don't follow the Tigers or Grizzlies? You just aren't interested in sports, most likely, or you've been turned off by the money and hype.
Appreciating Elvis, or the Griz, or the blues, or barbecue — those aren't civic mandates. You can't be exiled for preferring tofu to ribs or string quartets to Stax. (In fact, we've got tasty tofu and talented string quartets of our own.)
But if you live around here and you don't occasionally make a pilgrimage to the Mississippi River, I have to ask: What's wrong with you?
"It's so peaceful and calm," said Carlton McVay, 24, who one day this week was spending his lunch hour in Mud Island's Greenbelt Park, contemplating a swollen and muddy and beautiful river that was almost lapping the edge of the parking lot while also stretching as far as the eye could see, to both the north and south.
"It's tranquil," he said. "It's just a chance to get away for a while."

McVay was the first person I talked to when I went to the park this week, to look at a river that — according to the "Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service" of the National Weather Service — was set to crest at close to 36 feet — or two feet above flood stage — on Friday.
The date is almost six years to the day after the near-record flood of 2011, which crested on May 11 at 48 feet, 3 inches, submerging some neighborhood streets and the famous intersection of Beale and Riverside Drive in a sort of slow-motion drowning that functioned as a pop-up tourist attraction.
While talking to McVay, I was somewhat amazed that right off the bat a Memphian had waxed philosophical about the emotional impact of the Mississippi. "Pretty good quote," I said to myself.
"I don't care what you are, man, woman, child, human, animal, bird, whatever, everything is drawn to the water."
Tajuana Nichols on the Mississippi River
Then I walked a few feet to the north and encountered Tajuana Nichols, 38, and was amazed all over again — and then some.
"It's just the closest you can get to God besides breathing," said Nichols, without prompting.
She was seated on a slope of lawn, close to where the lazily rising water hugged the trunks of the semi-submerged trees with a slurpy cadence that complemented the programmed soundtrack of American Indian flute music-plus-rainfall that murmured from her cell phone, to aid in her riverside meditation.
"I don't care what you are, man, woman, child, human, animal, bird, whatever, everything is drawn to the water," continued Nichols, accompanied by spouse Cortez Jones, 37, and daughter Oxana Jones, 6. "A big body of water, it draws you to it."
Indeed. At the Mississippi, words that have withered through overuse, words like "power" and "majesty," regain their meaning, especially when the river is no longer being contained by its usual banks and has turned parks typically filled with dog-walkers and Frisbee-tossers and picnickers into live-action postcards from a watery primeval past.

Of course, Memphis, established as a thriving river port, owes its growth and character to the Mississippi. It is the so-called Bluff City, a reference to the river bluff on which it is situated. Naval battles were fought here during the Civil War, and the river was home to the heroism of Tom Lee, the tragedy of the Sultana, and the genius of Mark Twain.
Those associations are significant, but the river doesn't need historians or artists to justify its existence or validate it awesomeness, any more than does a vine of honeysuckle, a bolt of lightning or a snow leopard. It was here before we came around to ooh and aah, and it may be here after we're gone.
As Tajuana Nichols suggested, it's waiting for you. I'd suggest you say hello, while the water is high and splendid and intimidating. Soon, it will recede, and when it does, its vanished waters will leave a sidewinder's trail of flotsam and jetsam and detritus, from lost kayaks and empty plastic bottles to huge branches and logs. Judging from past years, children and art students and other adventurous souls will gather the driftwood and construct found-object teepees and "Blair Witch" symbols and what look like pagan altars. They may not be able to help themselves, because a big body of water, it draws you to it.

In my conversation with Agnès Varda about her current exhibition of video installation, photography, and sculpture showing at Blum & Poe (the full interview will run next month in The Brooklyn Rail), she emphasized that expanded vision occurs through close, returning attention to all that is caught in images of daily life: the complex and sustaining drama of living in time.

Zhujiajiao – The Venice of Shanghai
This post will mainly be photographs as I wanted to show off a bit of my photography. I have been taking my camera out a lot more lately and I am loving some of the moments I capture.
Zhujiajiao is known as one of the few famous water towns on the suburbs of Shanghai. I have been wanting to go here for a good month now and thought it was a good time to get out of the dorms and city after our mid-terms.
With 2 people down, the 3 of us had an early start so we could try and find the bus station in time. Little did we know, it took a few wrong turns to eventually find it. It doesn't help that People's Square station has about 16 exits, makes it so confusing. A good hour later and 3 numb bums (the seats on the bus were not comfortable), we arrived to the beautiful town of Zhujiajiao.
The plan was to get a ticket to all the hot spots in the town and a boat ride across the canal. The tickets were about £8 each for all of this, still can't get over how cheap places like these are.
Immediately after buying the tickets, we started to browse all the cute little town shops and make our way towards the entrance. The architecture in this town was something else. You could definitely tell it was an old town, with the bridges being built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Stairs leading up to the famous Fangsheng Bridge
Before making our way up to the bridge, we walked to the side of the bridge to get some photos and got approached by these woman who were selling fish which you would then release into the river. I thought this was a lovely gesture but also felt sorry for the little fish stuck in those plastic bags for that length of time before someone would buy them.
The beautiful olden boats which would take you from one side of the town to the other. These men would do this all day until 4pm.
A very picturesque garden situated in the centre of the town. I couldn't help but take many photos of this garden, and then get some idiotic ones of us of course.
After a long walk around the garden, we hopped on for our boat ride. We had the whole boat for just us 3 as they do not have more than 1 group on.
It was a peaceful journey with stunning perspectives of the town.
We arrived at this shop which sold jewellery but also he made shapes out of toffee which you would then eat. You could either pick one which was already made and displayed or choose your own animal, character or whatever you wanted which he was able to make. I wanted the character 西 Xi (pronounced as She) as that is my last name. I am glad I only got a small one because it was very sickly. Aneta got a dragon, and Tilly got the chinese characters of Zhujiajiao 朱家角.
We ended up back to where we started the day with a gorgeous, colourful sunset setting in the distance behind the town. After quite a few restaurant look-ins, we sat down to have a small dinner before getting the bus back. We had dinner in one of the restaurants right on the water front but sadly were not sat outside as it was very busy during that time.
The journey back was nothing but uncomfortable. We did not get a seat and, as it was an hours journey back, ended up sitting on the floor. It was very disgusting but there was no way I was going to be standing for that whole journey. It was worth it though to have been able to see that beautiful town.

This looks absolutely beautiful! I almost can't believe that a place like this really exists. Wonderful ♥ You've given me a bad case of wanderlust now 😉
It was a little interrupted by the crowds but apart from that it was something spectacular and lovely to walk round! Abs x

After a very early wake up and a long bus ride our group boarded our plane headed to London. Upon arriving in London we dropped our luggage off at the hotel before heading straight for the Tower of London. This is a historic tower is one of London's most famous landmarks. It is home to the Crown Jewels, Sir Walter Raleigh's prison cell, the Bloody Tower, the Cathedral of St. John, and the Royal Armoires. The sun was shining and with the beautiful view of the tower and gardens it couldn't have been better.
From there it was on to The Victoria and Albert Museum. This Museum was a fabulous art and design museum and a world renowned treasure house with a diverse collection. Here we were allowed to wander around and take in the beauty of the exhibits at our own pace.
At this point we were all fairly hungry so we went to have dinner at Pizza Express. After this, with full stomachs, we headed to the West End to see Wicked in the Apollo Victoria Theatre. With catchy tunes, dramatic acting and a fantastical story it was a show ont to be missed.
The next morning we had breakfast and then it was a quick coach ride to our three hour long guided tour of London. Our guides took us to see many of the cities, s most wonderful sights such as the houses of Parliament, Big Ben, The Tower Bridge, Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus. Unfortunately we got caught in the rain so we could only make one stop on our tour. Buckingham Palace. The damp weasther did nothing to dampen our spirits and we were all excitd to be there.
After that we went on to visit the Imperial war museum. This museum contained a vat collection of material relaiting to the Great war. There was everything from planes and vehicles to cvlothes and bomb bunkers. They had a special exhibit on the holocost there at the time which described the suffering of the jewish population during World War II. From here we went o to have our evening meal at Garfunkles Restarunt. We spent the rest of the night relaxing in the hotel.
On our final day in London we had a quick breakfast before heading out to visit the Science Museum which had exhibits outlining the history of the development of science and industry from veteran cars, trains, and airplanes to the exploration of space and the development of computers. During our exploring we found an activity centre on the last floor that brought out the more competitive side of our group. We had aliitle extra time so we made a quick stop off at the Natural history Museum that contained specimens of animals from all around the world.

I open up a Member form for Add/Editing members. It has its own entity manager and when the Save button is clicked I close the form and go back to a list form.
When the save is processed, I call a routine called CalculateOwing which calculates the members balance. This method is in a separate .cs file cause it can be called from many areas in the application.
Should the CalculateOwing method be in a separate entity manager or in the same entity manager as the member record being processed?
If you want the results of CalculateOwing to be part of the same database transaction, you need to call it before the Save completes and on the same EntityManager that the Save is using.

Conservative MEPs wary of backing text condemning Trump, police brutality

The European Parliament is to vote on a resolution that "strongly condemns" the death of George Floyd, criticizes Donald Trump and urges the U.S. and the EU to tackle "structural racism" and police brutality — but some conservatives will vote against it because of its language on law enforcement.
The resolution, which will be debated Wednesday and voted on Friday, describes as "appalling" the death of Floyd, an unarmed American black man who died under the knee of a white police officer in Minneapolis.
It condemns the "reaction and the inflammatory rhetoric used by the U.S. President" and calls on the U.S. government to "take decisive steps to address the structural racism and inequalities in the country," as well as "police crackdowns" on peaceful protesters and journalists.
It also acknowledges the "thousands of people" who have marched in Europe as part of the Black Lives Matter movement, calls on the EU to unblock legislation on anti-discrimination, and "officially acknowledge past injustices and crimes against humanity committed against Black people and people of color."
"The U.S. and the EU don't have the same context," said Alice Bah Kuhnke, a Swedish Green MEP of Gambian descent who is behind the resolution. "But racism is there in the EU, it takes different forms and we can take this opportunity to make a change."
Bah Kuhnke's text is likely to win the support of the biggest political groups, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will give a speech Wednesday in support of the wave of indignation against racism.
However, some conservatives are wary about giving their backing. The European People's Party — the largest group in the Parliament — said it is in favor of the resolution but expressed strong reservations about the language on police violence.
It put forward an amendment calling for the text to condemn "the episodes of looting, arson, vandalism and destruction of public and private property caused by some violent demonstrators" and denounce "the extremist and anti-democratic forces which purposely misuse the peaceful protests to aggravate the conflicts with the intention of spreading disorder and anarchy."
"You can't accept that policemen use force against people that is not justifiable," said Isabel Wiseler-Lima, a Luxembourgish MEP from the EPP. "On the other hand, it's unacceptable that you talk about the police with a general suspicion … I really don't think [the police] deserve it."
"It's really important that we give another image of the police," she said.
The European Conservatives and Reformists group took part in initial negotiations on the resolution but then pulled out of the talks and put forward their own text.
The group suggested the resolution had an accusatory tone against the U.S., and wanted it to acknowledge "violence or riots or looting" during Black Lives Matters protests. It also tried to water down accusations against Trump, proposing to add a line on his decision to deploy the National Guard against Black Lives Matters protesters as a way to "stop the looting that was going on."
"The resolution has no mention of violence or riots or looting," an ECR spokesperson said. "We were told it was not connected. It didn't make sense to continue negotiations."
The far-right Identity and Democracy group dismissed the text as providing inadequate and unfair criticism of the U.S. In an amendment put forward, the group said it condemned "the few known cases of police brutality, from which people of all backgrounds suffer equally" and "supports the police forces as an essential instrument for the enforcement of the rule of law."
"We think it is inappropriate to compare the situation in the U.S. with the one in the EU," an official from Italy's League, a member of Identity and Democracy, said. "We don't share the positions and manipulations used by some to attack indiscriminately those who represent the police, the U.S. president, and political forces that express critical opinions on the management of migration."
Some MEPs also regretted that the resolution didn't include a call on the EU institutions to improve diversity among staff. According to the European Network Against Racism, which was set up in 1998 to "achieve legal changes at European level," racial and ethnic minorities make up at least 10 percent of the European Union population. But there are only 24 non-white (3 percent) MEPs out of 705.
The resolution argues that racism, discrimination and "the excessive and lethal use of force by the police" exist in the EU.
It cites figures from the Fundamental Rights Agency, an independent EU body, which found that "one quarter of all persons of African descent were stopped by the police" in the five years before it carried out a survey and "among these, 41 percent characterised the most recent stop as racial profiling."
