The Sundry sets the stage for sustainable food
Home/Business, Energy, Local and Organic Food, Zero Waste/The Sundry sets the stage for sustainable food
By Katie Pohlman
Tucked away in the Crossroads sits The Sundry, a market and kitchen bringing local, sustainable food to the urban core, while working to lower its impact on the environment.
The 1930's red brick building blends in with the neighborhood. Only a small, hanging wooden sign signifies what business is inside.
But once in The Sundry door, guests are welcomed warmly by the staff working in the open kitchen and the market.
The Sundry, which opened in December 2014, has made sustainability its top priority. Aaron Prater and Ryan Wing, co-founders of the business, have paid attention to every detail, from where they source their food, to the type of stove used in the kitchen, to the take-out containers and serve ware given to customers.
The frame around the open kitchen was built from reclaimed barn wood.
"Our industry, the hospitality industry, is responsible for a third of the waste produced in this country," Prater said. "We can't keep going down that path."
Prater, a chef at The Sundry and professor of culinary arts at Johnson County Community College (JCCC), said the two knew there would be a higher start-up cost to create a sustainable business, but it was worth it in the long run.
"Sustainability in business can be the biggest source of change toward a more sustainable world," Wing said. "(The Sundry) was a little bit of just putting those ideas into practice and proving that they can work."
The two hope that someday The Sundry will be a zero-waste business. But for now, they have a good start.
Developing a sustainable business
Prater and Wing met while Wing was working on a grant to develop solutions to energy and water efficiency issues in restaurants. He worked with hospitality students from JCCC to help identify the problems and approach businesses on how they could become more efficient.
During this time, Prater and Wing realized they had similar ideas for a market with a kitchen combination.
"Both of us care about the food we buy personally," Wing said. "We were having to drive all over the metro area to collect sustainable ingredients. With The Sundry, we wanted to bring all of those things together so people who love food could go get those local, sustainable ingredients without driving all over town."

It is meant to be used topically and applied to the areas where the hair is falling out.

Back in 2005, long before they began approaching $10 billion in annual revenue, everyone thought that Facebook was a cool app, but no one thought that it would ever make any money. Observers laughed at the idea that Facebook could be a real business.With that backdrop of doubters and detractors, Noah Kagan, employee #30 at Facebook, pitched Mark Zuckerberg with what he thought was a genius idea: prove the Facebook skeptics wrong and show them that the fledgling startup could make real money.
As Kagan recounts the story, Mark listened to the pitch and then wrote out one word on a whiteboard: "GROWTH." Then he "proclaimed he would not entertain ANY idea unless it helped Facebook grow by total number of 'users.'"
To Zuckerberg and other Silicon Valley luminaries like PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel, the secret to productivity is this: focus is singular. You don't get three or four or five. You only get one.
Peter Thiel, the first outside investor in Facebook, shares a similar philosophy on productivity and management that he developed while turning PayPal into a billion-dollar company.
In the words of former PayPal executive Keith Rabois, Thiel "would refuse to discuss virtually anything else with you except what was currently assigned as your #1 initiative." If Kagan had tried to have a meeting with Thiel to pitch a new a new idea, they wouldn't have even gotten to the whiteboard. Thiel wouldn't discuss anything but your top initiative.
PayPal's annual review forms reflected this ruthless focus. You don't get to brainstorm and make a top 10 list to show off all your accomplishments. All employees got to do was write down their "single most valuable contribution to the company."
With distractions cleared away, Thiel allowed every person in the company to seriously pursue their only priority "with extreme dispatch and vigor." Granting employees a singular focus encourages a clarity of thought and mission that can drive people to perform at A+ levels.
Multitaskers Fail, Those with Focus SucceedIt turns out that for personal productivity, multitasking is one of the worst things that you can do.
Stanford researcher Clifford Nass conducted a study where he gave participants different tasks to do in order to figure out how the brain works — and he was shocked by what he found.
[M]ultitaskers are terrible at every aspect of multitasking. They're terrible at ignoring irrelevant information; they're terrible at keeping informationin their head nicely and neatly organized; and they're terrible at switching from one task to another.
On the other hand, researchers have shown having the ability to direct your focus to disregard impulses and distraction — maintaining "cognitive control" in psychological terms — has been shown to be a more powerful long-term predictor of future financial success than IQ and wealth.
In a thirty-year study, psychologists followed the trajectory of over 1,000 New Zealand children to find that those who became the most successful weren't the smartest or the most well-heeled. They were the children who had shown the greatest self-control. And it's focus, or control over the mind, that holds the key to self-control.
Focusing on a single, high-impact priority can be the critical advantage for getting things done — whether it's for yourself or with your team.There are a lot of smart people out there, and a lot of people who have money to spend to make things happen. Your ability to focus and manage yourself amidst the rising tides of tasks, distractions, and ideas is what will set you apart.
To Zuckerberg and Thiel, if you allow yourself to have more than one focus, you've already accepted the probability of mediocrity. By its very definition, focus doesn't function when you're diffracting your attention.
Make your focus ruthless. Focus on just one thing, and you'll put your organization and your own personal productivity on the path to doing your best work and achieving excellence.

It's rare that a direct sequel to something awesome – be it film, game or hardware – is anything other than a disappointment when it comes to a new phone.
Rarer still is when the second instalment surpasses the original. We can think of just a scant handful of cases off the top of our heads: The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2 and Left 4 Dead 2.
Well, add the Galaxy S2 to that list, because this phone is awesome.
Thin, light and with an amazingly clear 4.3-inch Super AMOLED plus screen behind its toughened Gorilla Glass front panel, this is one handset you won't be pocketing in shame when your mates pass by.
In fact, we suspect you'll be evangelising about it to anyone who'll listen. That's because the dual-core processor within its tiny shell isn't just a marketing bullet point, but rather powers an experience that we're nothing short of effervescent about. For instance, web browsing is blisteringly fast and the Galaxy S2's Flash support is second to none.
We're thrilled to say that the plus points are just too numerous to do justice of here. Check out the full review to find out why this is one of the best smartphones we're likely to see in 2011.


Those camping along The Colorado Trail – and elsewhere in Colorado's backcountry – need to take adequate steps to store their food so that it's inaccessible to bears and other critters. It's not only a matter of safety for Trail users, but also for the safety of the wild animals along the Trail. Not to mention the consequences of losing your food supply to a hungry intruder.
Bear problems along the Trail are on the rise as the black bear population rises (there are no grizzlies in Colorado) and the popularity of the Trail increases. Fortunately, few Trail users report adverse bear encounters, but those that do occur can wreak havoc on the Trail experience. Smaller critters – raccoons, porcupines, skunks, etc. – can do surprising damage to a food supply as well.
Bears that score human food morph into "food bears." They begin revisiting the same campsites looking for more easy pickings. Bears that are normally spooked by humans become more aggressive and menacing. Bear-human clashes become inevitable.
Your plans for a CT trip should include a food storage strategy. Options range from hanging your food bag out of reach of a bear to bear-proof canisters and bags. In no case should you sleep with your food. Hanging your food is the lightest option, but it requires practice, patience and extra time to do it properly. Many CT travelers use a bear-proof bag such as an "Ursack" along with an odor proof plastic bag like an "Opsak" as a liner.
One example of the recent-year bear problems along The Colorado Trail, in 2011 and 2012, the CT saw nuisance bear activity in the heavily used Segment 1, including the Bear Creek and West Bear Creek campsites. Several hikers lost food and equipment, their trips upended or ruined. Colorado Division of Wildlife put up signs warning: "CAUTION, BEAR ACTIVITY. Exercise proper camping and food storage! Be bear aware!" The following season there were no reports of bear problems in the area.

Tiffany Haddish's celebrity-filled bat mitzvah, in photos
By Gabe Friedman, JTA | December 4, 2019
Tiffany Haddish celebrated her bat mitzvah Tuesday night surrounded by an array of Jewish celebrity friends, including Billy Crystal, Chelsea Handler and Sarah Silverman.
The comedian, who celebrated in Beverly Hills on the occasion of her 40th birthday, released her Netflix standup special, "Black Mitzvah," on the same day.
Sarah Silverman's sister, Susan, a renowned rabbi, oversaw the service.
As Haddish told Alma, she became interested in her Jewish heritage after meeting her father, an Eritrean Jew, for the first time at age 27. She had previously worked as a performer at bar and bat mitzvahs but hadn't known much about that part of her identity.
"For a long time, I didn't even know black Jews existed. I didn't know anything about Judaism for a long time," she said.
Haddish, who has appeared in blockbuster comedies such as "Girls Trip," showed off some of the Hebrew she learned on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" earlier this week.
Here's a visual recounting of Tuesday's big event:

As his Welsh rugby fans belted out the national anthem ahead of defeating old rivals Scotland, one man won the hearts of social media users as he lovingly gazed at his pint.
The look of love came as the camera at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff panned to a woman showing her passion while singing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.
Wales managed to see off Scotland in a 21-10 victory but the real victory looked to be the taste of the young man's pint as he let out an 'ahhh!' of refreshment after taking a gulp.
No love is easy, however, and he was first unsure about the new and exciting flavour.
Tension was abound as he stared at the cold beverage, seemingly trying to make sense of it, but alas, it got the seal of approval.
It was a successful night for the Welsh, too.
This was the 10th match in a row that Scotland have been slain by the Dragons.
This win also meant Wales claimed the inaugural Doddie Weir Cup.
While usual suspects George North and Jonathan Davies touched down to ensure Warren Gatland's men were triumphant, the young man was definitely the one who tasted victory last night.


Responding to Pope Benedict's visit to Britain and Beatification of John Henry Newman in September 2010 when he called for a New Evangelisation, Maryvale is augmenting its catechetical mission throughout the British Isles and in locations worldwide and expenses are needed for the trained volunteers.
The Institute is always looking for funds for its catechetical mission, not only for work in the British Isles but elsewhere, including Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, the United Arab Emirates. Maryvale's international reputation for catechesis has led to involvement with the Franciscan University of Steubenville in the U.S.A. and the Studium of Notre Dame de Vie, Venasque in France.
Aiming to achieve £10,000 in the year to August 2012 by individual donations and fundraising efforts.
To provide funds to develop Catholic catechetical resources, education and outreach.
» Direct approaches to individuals and charitable trusts.
Success will be signalled by achieving a short-term financial resource of £90,000 in this calendar year.
Establishment of permanent networks of mentors, catechists and learners available to provide authentic teaching and clarification of the Catholic Faith in all parts of the world.
There are no apparent risks.
Maryvale Institute is based in Birmingham, England, but there are various Maryvale centres or 'outposts' throughout the world.
Various individuals and groups espousing the Roman Catholic religion.
Maryvale Institute is now in its 31st year and has a long and well-attested reputation in teaching the Catholic Faith from school certificate level to first degrees and doctorates.
Deputy Director of the Institute and Dean of Graduate Research, is also concerned with catechesis at all levels.
Academic Assistant to the Director of the Institute and Director of the B.A. in Applied Theology (Catechesis), has a leading role in catechesis.


The compaction factor is defined as the ratio of weight of partially compacted concrete to that of fully compacted concrete.It shall normally to be stated to the nearest second decimal place.
Place the concrete sample gently in hte upper hopper to its brim using the hand scoop and level it.Open the trap door at the bottom of the upper hopper so that concrete falls into the lower hopper.
Push the concrete sticking on its sides gently with the rod.Open the trap door of the lower hopper and allow the concrete to fall into the cylinder below.
Cut off the excess of concrete above the top level of cylinder using trowels and level it.Clean the outside of the cylinder.Weight the cylinder with concrete (w1).Empty the cylinder and then refills it with the weight of partially compacted concrete.
Empty the cylinder and then refills it with the same concrete mix in layers approximately 5cm deep,each layer being heavily rammed to obtain full compaction.
Level the top surface.Weight the cylinder with fully compacted concrete.This weight is known as the weight of fully compacted concrete (w2).Find the weight of empty cylinder.


There is perhaps nothing more contentious than culture. Both as value and practice, it has certainly become the new discursive paradigm of the 21st century, despite of or maybe even because of its prolific signification to address matters that range from philosophy to politics, the economy to religion, ethnicity and aesthetics. Either as value or material creation, culture informs actions and labour practices. In its variety and spoken by many voices, culture is always at work, in a way that will necessarily require that it be graphed in the plural, as cultures.
The III Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture aims to bring together artists, students and academics to discuss the manifold ways in which cultures work. Firstly, by understanding culture as a process and a narrative that constructs the social. Culture structures communal forms of belonging in both normative and non-normative ways, it organizes the relation to the past and in short promotes the self-awareness of groups and societies.
Secondly, by discussing cultural work and its impact in the making and remaking of social meaning. How do artists envisage their practices in the age of austerity and how do they consider themselves relevant agents before the challenges ahead? In fact, culture is also a practice of citizenship, a potentiality, where hegemony, subversion and renewal come together.
Thirdly, by considering the cultural economy and how the growing awareness for the economic contribution of the cultural sector has been changing cultural theory. How does the perception of culture as consumption alter and challenge cultural theory's critical positioning? And how does it provide a new strategic political visibility for this sector?
Finally, by placing the idea of work centerfold, we want to consider the intersection between cultural practice and former sites of industrial production, how the discipline of labour clashes with the disruptive mode of creation, and how the artistic professions represent themselves and lend themselves to representation. Artistic freedom and disciplinary regulation are inextricably linked. The city as spatial organization disciplines bodies and subjectivities and houses the seats of order and regulation, whilst promoting the relations that allow creativity to thrive. This twofold dimension of the city is particularly relevant in the tactical appropriation of former sites of violent disciplinary regulation (military barracks, hospitals), as well of industrial discipline (factories, warehouses) by artists in cities all over the world.
Cultural work in the age of austerity.
The cultural societies (Kulturgesellschaften): The role of cultural institutions in modernity and post-modernity.
The cultural sector and the experiential economy.
Liquid cultures and material designs: challenges and opportunities.
The representation of cultural work in the arts, in literature, film and the media.
Global cultures and local practices: the globalization of the creative sector.
Field work: Culture as a collaborative project (examples from all fields of cultural activity are welcome).

Have you ever heard of oat milk? Oat milk is loaded with all the essential nutrients and it is one of the simplest ways to add it to your diet. Oat milk is a specialized form of milk, which is made with steel-cut oats. The steel-cut oats are soaked in water and then blended.
Afterwards, they are mixed and strained which results in a heavy, thick and foamy type of milk. Not only oat milk is loaded with nutrients but it is also flavoursome. The milk includes nutrients like calcium, vitamin A, fiber and iron. Oat milk is extremely delicious vegan alternative to dairy milks, and it is also nutritious. You can consume oat milk even if you are lactose intolerant, since oat milk is lactose-free. Many people who are lactose intolerant choose other sources for lactose-free milk, such as rice milk or soy milk. Oat milk might be a healthy alternative for you, because it is typically cheaper to buy and you can even make it yourself.
Oat milk is low in fat as compared to the normal milk. This type of milk can be good for people who are suffering with heart diseases. It has zero cholesterol, which will lower your risk of heart attack, stroke and other heart diseases. Oat milk also improves cardiovascular health by eliminating the accumulation of fats in the walls of arteries.
Oat milk contains large amounts of antioxidants. These antioxidants will protect your body from the damaging effects of free radicals. Thus, this milk will prevent ageing of the skin.
Oat milk is known to be useful for regulating your digestive system. This milk has great amount of vegetable fibre which eases the digestive process.
If you want to get rid of the harmful toxins, stop abdominal bloating and a smooth digestive system then oat milk is the perfect drink.
Regular intake of oat milk can reduce overall oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. This in turn lowers the rates of chronic diseases such as certain types of cancer, heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
Oat milk does wonders if you have thin or fragile bones. Oat milk in particular contains high amounts of calcium, vitamin D iron and other essential minerals. These minerals are necessary for maintaining bone density as you start ageing. It will also help in building strong and healthy bones.
As oat milk contains zero cholesterol and is low in fat, it makes a perfect drink for those who want to lose weight. Also, the soluble fibre present in oat milk will keep your stomach full for a longer period of time, which curbs your hunger pangs. Thus, include oat milk in your diet if you want to lose those extra kilos.
The high level of soluble fibre in oat milk helps in boosting your immunity. This also helps in the proper functioning of the immune system and helps to optimize the digestive process.

EARTH HOUR: CORPORATE GREENWASH
I wrote extensively about Earth Hour last year and my intention was just to ignore it this year, especially since it appears to have lost its 'novelty' value and the level of public interest in it – at least here in New Zealand – seems to have dropped away a little.
However I saw Oliver Driver and Carly Flynn talking nonsense about it on Sunrise this morning. Mediaworks (of which TV3 is a part) is one of the main supporters of Earth Hour in New Zealand so it wasn't surprising that Oliver and Flynn gushed enthusiastically about it all.
It was, incidentally, ironic that the two presenters should be enthusing about 'all of us' coming together for this 'great' environmental campaign when, just two days earlier, both Driver and Flynn were agreeing that it was a good idea for Paula Bennett to bash beneficiaries.
Apparently the love and good vibes only go so far…
One of the other main New Zealand supporters of Earth Hour is Toyota. Given that cars spew tons of pollutants into the air every year, I'm not exactly sure how Toyota are contributing to creating a cleaner environment.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are the organising body behind Earth Hour.
I wrote extensively about the shocking politics of the WWF last year and I'm not going to repeat it all here, suffice to say that the WWF has a dismal record of jumping into bed with corporate polluters in return for sponsorship dollars.
Such has been its eagerness to attract corporate backing it has accepted funds from oil corporates like Chevron and Exxon Mobil – both oil giants with dismal environmental records.
The WWF also has taken millions from corporations like Citigroup, the Bank of America, Kodak, J.P. Morgan, the Bank of Tokyo, Philip Morris (yes, the cigarette manufacturer) , Waste Management , Coca Cola and DuPont.
As I wrote last year:
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), formerly the World Wildlife Fund, has long been pushing a market-friendly brand of environmentalism.
Interestingly, given the recent local controversy about the importation of palm oil into this country, in November last year some 31 countries signed a letter attacking WWF's founding role in the 'Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil'. The letter said: 'WWF's involvement is being used by agrofuel companies to justify building more refineries and more palm oil power stations in Europe.'
The palm oil industry is a leading cause of destruction of tropical rainforests.
As was the case last year there has been no critical analysis of Earth Hour and the WWF. Instead we have media oganisations like Mediaworks acting as an advertising agency for the WWF.
It has also has the backing, among others, of various city councils – and former Prime Minister Helen Clark.
How many New Zealanders know they are supporting an organisation that takes money from cigarette companies, supports uranium mining in Australia and is playing a central role in the promotion of the palm oil industry and the consequent destruction of more of our precious rainforests?
If they did then its likely a lot of Kiwis would probably stay well clear of Earth Hour.

EDITORIAL: Earth Hour, corporate sponsors and burning planets
"Earth Hour" will be held around the world on March 27. The event is organised by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and involves participants switching off their lights for the hour as a symbolic declaration of support for environmental action.
The Earth Hour website is sponsored by, among others, Woolworths Limited, the giant supermarket and retail corporation. With the amount of waste and pollution associated with the retail industry in frivolous consumption, built-in obsolescence and so on, this would seem an odd choice for sponsor.
WWF has a shocking record for quite uncritically accepting sponsorship from polluting industries. Back in 2002, Counterpunch co-editor Jeffrey St. Clair exposed WWF's links with logging corporation Weyerhaeuser, writing on Dissidentvoice.org that WWF "rakes in millions from corporations, including Alcoa, Citigroup, the Bank of America, Kodak, J.P. Morgan, the Bank of Tokyo, Philip Morris, Waste Management and DuPont".
In November 2009, more than 80 environmental organisations from 31 countries signed a letter attacking WWF's founding role in the "Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil". The letter said: "WWF's involvement is being used by agrofuel companies to justify building more refineries and more palm oil power stations in Europe."
Currently, WWF is one of the key "environment" organisations in Australia promoting "clean coal". This hypothetical technology is the main prop in the Australian coal industry's smoke-and-mirrors trickery to keep the public off its back.
Clearly, WWF is a willing aide to corporate polluters who want to be seen to be cleaning up their act. How much does the environment get back? Whatever WWF ekes out for payment in its bargaining with the devil, it isn't working for the environment.
The Earth Hour website includes a link to a calculator where visitors can work out their own personal carbon footprint. If you follow links for what you can do after the event to "make Earth Hour every hour" you will be directed toward various governmental awareness raising schemes and green power providers.
If the event simply raised people's awareness a little, it would be better than nothing. But sometimes "not enough" is worse than nothing: it's a false hope. The direct links to our climate-criminal government, as much as any donations from polluting corporations, are like telling people to go back to sleep, not to get up, when the house is burning down.
Although individuals will gain positive feelings from participating in Earth Hour, climate activists have to channel popular concern about climate change into rebellion, not tokenism. Or our whole planet will burn down around us.

CRITICS OF "Advantageous"
Mark Leeper's Reviews
ADVANTAGEOUS is a science fiction film with a much higher budget for art direction than it has for special effects.
Eye for Film
As with the best science fiction, the technology of the future is used to explore the human condition of the present.
The dialogue is so disaffected it's as if humans were replicants even before going through the aforementioned twin-making procedure.
Spirituality and Practice
A thought-provoking sci-fi drama about parenting, education, the commodification of women's bodies, and female unemployment.
Advantageous makes a superb showcase for Kim, a hugely underrated and underutilized talent.
Achieves much on a relatively meager budget (it has an impressive futuristic visual design), and the last half hour is so irresistibly creepy that it's sure to invoke discussion after the screening.
...one of the best science-fiction films of this past year and further proof that female directors know how to deliver on genre films.
A picture emerges that at times suggests a strange if alluring mash-up of "Stella Dallas" and Michel Foucault, with a smidgen of Jean-Luc Godard's "Alphaville" and a hint of Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale."
You've seen enough movies to know it won't go as planned, but director Jennifer Phang's low-budget film is extraordinary in the sly way it dishes out the details.
It's not hard to imagine it becoming cult viewing in places like Berkeley, the director's city of birth, or any college town or urban area with the right critical density of literature, film and women's studies majors who sometimes read Wired.
As in a lot of good sci-fi, the movie is set in a particular world, but driven by the characters that inhabit it.
Unfortunately, the stilted script and portentous direction make Advantageous, a film written and directed by Asian-American women, a missed opportunity.

The hits keep on coming for Luke Bryan. He just sold out New York City's famed Madison Square Garden in five minutes and added a second show. Now, the 'Drink a Beer' singer has confirmed his participation at the 2013 American Music Awards. Bryan will be performing at the ceremony.
The show's performance roster is filled with pop stars – Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and more. Bryan, along with Florida Georgia Line, will give the show a healthy dose of country. Those are also two very good reasons to tune in to the broadcast.
Bryan nabbed his first AMA last year, when he won the statue for Favorite Male Country Artist. He is up for two awards this year. He is once again nominated for Favorite Male Country Artist and his 'Crash My Party' album is up for Favorite Country Album.
Each category is voted on by fans. Want to vote for Luke Bryan in one, either or both of his categories? Then go here and cast your ballot.
The AMA broadcast is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 24 on ABC. The show starts at 8PM ET.
The full list of 2013 country nominees for AMAs is here. Good luke, er, luck to all the country acts and artists who were recognized with nominations.

You are deluded if you think that the world around you is a physical construct separate from your own mind.
then you'd have quit this Game before you played it.
Like the appearance of silver in mother of pearl, the world seems real until the Self, the underlying reality, is realized.
Is the joy of reaching the stream.
The lucid dream, located as it is at a crossroads between worlds and states of consciousness, places the magician in a unique position to influence the delicate balance of consciousness and the interplay it has on matter in the waking state, and is thus an opportunity to test one's ability in the art of adjusting the mutable fabric of Maya.

A Winding Journey
By Buddy Gharring, Pastor at Twin UMC
In about 2012, at a moment when I felt especially lost in the world, I was lucky to find a friend. John Swanson was a Young Adult Minister who made me feel seen, welcomed, and understood- something deeply important for many people in their early 20's. John was an excellent preacher/storyteller. Maybe the best I've heard to this day. He was also gay, and in that community that wasn't an OK thing to be. Soon enough John was fired, something that had a huge impact on his life. And vicariously on mine.
I loved John, and John had demonstrated Jesus' love in my life more vividly than many others. He was able to understand and explain the Bible like nobody I had ever met. But being gay was a sin, right? I struggled as I watched John's life unravel. My life felt split- spending hours with John and his friends, and hours working at the church that had fired him. Lots of tension, questions, and searching.
During this time, I went back to finish my undergrad degree at a ministry school, and as professors would teach on subjects like "the role of women" I found myself pushing back, thinking, "That's not the point of what they were writing." So I went exploring and was introduced by a friend and professor to a whole new world of biblical scholarship- people who deeply loved Jesus and the Bible, but who arrived at different understandings than the people I had grown up with. People who came to the Bible open-handedly, and asked, "What does this book claim to be? How did its authors and first readers understand it?" And in that earnest pursuit they, and I, found something very different than what I had grown up believing.
While this pursuit led me towards egalitarianism (basically, the belief that people are all equally human, regardless of gender-identity), I also stumbled upon a whole body of biblical scholarship that poked huge holes in this idea that the Bible condemned homosexuality. I found that many people love Jesus, deeply revere the Bible and try to understand it as well as possible, and come to the conclusion that it has no clear qualms with homosexuality (see Daniel A. Helminiak, David P. Gushee, or Peter Aelred's work, to name a few).
At about this point I was meeting with a high schooler who was slowly coming out as gay and had been facing a lot of shame because of it. I was on a journey of coming to terms with my own understanding of human sexuality and spirituality, so I decided to just sit with him and listen well. I wanted to be a safe adult with whom he could share openly and honestly, and those coffee meetings changed my life.
I wish I had learned earlier that there was a different way to honestly understand the Bible – a different way to walk with Jesus. I wish that I had been in a different place when I met John, where my support for him could have been more clear and vocal. But for many of us, this is a winding and gradual journey. We thank the Johns in our life for the way they opened our eyes as we advocate for future generations.
I share my story to say this: walking with Jesus, loving the Bible, belonging to a faith community that fills your soul, and loving your LGBTQ+ friends and family (or loving yourself) are not mutually exclusive activities. You can deeply love both. You can do so without having to say, "Well, I'm just going to ignore that part." Trust me, because it was my studying the Bible that led me to loving my LGBTQ+ friends and accepting them fully.

Established in 2009, Alyson Nicole started out as a small line of bridal veils and avant-garde head pieces. Shortly after attending a bridal fair in Pennsylvania, Alyson started working closely with clients and bridal boutiques creating custom veils and bridesmaids hair accessories. Along with brides and private customers, she also worked closely with colleges to create one-of-a-kind millinery pieces to complement students' designs during their annual fashion show.
Three years later, after getting situated in Brooklyn, NY, Alyson decided to relaunch her brand to include an array of accessories that catered to a more non-traditional bold bride, along with bespoke services for accessories and wedding gowns. Alyson takes pride in hand crafting each product in her home studio. She loves to create components and products from scratch to make them truly unique. From the hand beaded embellishments, to the hand curled feathers, all the way to the fabric logo tags; Alyson's hand made products are done so with care and passion. Materials are hand selected based on quality and aesthetics to build a line of accessories that mix natural elements with industrial aspects, creating a beautiful juxtaposition for unconventional brides.
All production and sourcing is handled directly by the owner. Each material is personally hand selected and sourced from local/small businesses first before contacting national and international vendors. We are a strong believers in supporting the community you live in and try to do this as much as possible!
Production is created out of our studio in Brooklyn, NY. We make and inspect each item before it is packaged carefully. A lot of the materials we work with are very delicate, those products are handled with a lot more care and are checked quite a few times even after they are put in their packaging.


There's a "50-50 chance" that Dell would be taken private — private equity billionaire Wilbur Ross told CNBC Tuesday, in reaction to reports that the computer maker is in talks with PE firms about a potential $20 billion-plus buyout.
Dell stock soared 13 percent Monday to a near eight-month high on a report from The Wall Street Journal that TPG and Silver Lake Partners could team up on a deal to bring Dell private. JPMorgan Chase & Co is said to be involved in the discussions as well.
"The real hurdle would be [if] the LBO's leverage sponsors and equity sponsors buy into the theory that it was really going to turn around quickly," said Ross, who specializes in investing in and restructuring financially distressed companies. "Remember [Dell] is a company whose earnings have been in a kind of free-fall," he told "Squawk Box."
Dell's fortunes are largely tied to the personal computer, which has been losing favor in recent years. But even in the shrinking PC market, Dell has lost share to Hewlett-Packard and China's Lenovo. Market leader HP has a 16 percent share, followed by Lenovo at 15.7 percent, with Dell at a distant third with about 10.6 percent.
Sanford Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi told CNBC on Monday that splitting the company in two — a PC unit and an enterprise business — seems more feasible than an outright sale. Sacconaghi noted that personal computers account for 70 percent of Dell's revenues and about 60 percent of its profits.
Dell CEO and Founder Michael Dell owns 244 million shares in the company, according to Thomson Reuters data. He ranked No. 22 on the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans with a fortune of $14.6 billion last year.


Liverpool Waterfront is a staple on your places to visit list in Liverpool. It has beauty, it has history, culture, art, music food & drink in a breathtaking and iconic setting.
Diverse in its appeal the waterfront offers everything from a sing-along in The Beatles Story to a perhaps windy, but picturesque riverside stroll.
Where else could you marvel at truly magnificent mercantile architecture like the famous Liver Building; enjoy world-class contemporary art at Tate Liverpool; visit one of the UK's leading photography spaces, Open Eye Gallery; explore the Merseyside Maritime Museum, visit the International Slavery Museum (the only of its kind to look at aspects of historical and contemporary slavery) and become interactive at the recently opened Museum of Liverpool - all within a stone's throw of one another.

Sailing conditions got off to a slow start in Falmouth for the opening races of the Gold Cup 2012. With a scheduled start time of 1pm sailors took their chances and began heading out to sea as supporters looked on from one of the best vantage points, Falmouth's 'Event Square'.
As the final sailors arrived at the start markers the wind dropped and silence fell. The only sounds where the insignificant waves that slapped at the dinghy hulls. Then in an instant Finns, Ribs & Yachts began chasing the wind. This sporadic chasing continued for nearly an hour. As press and support crew looked on and waited.
Finally at 1.55pm the first race warning single is sounded and the Finns head for the reorganised start line.
Staged in front of Pendennis Castle, Gyllyngvase beach and Castle beach the Finn Gold Cup 2012 was finally underway.
After two races Ed Wright (GBR11) was sitting in first with Ben Ainslie (GBR3) in 2nd and Deniss Karpark (EST) in 3rd.
Up to date Race results for the Gold Cup can be followed here on our Visit Falmouth facebook page.

Songs Fit for a Princess: THE ANTI-CINDERELLA Play List
When I began writing THE ANTI-CINDERELLA, I began looking for the right songs. It wasn't easy. For the Love in a Small Town books, I go country without fail. For the football books, it's usually contemporary alt-rock. For the Perfect Dish romances, Jersey rockers and crooners have been the go-to.
But what kind of music best epitomizes a non-traditional royal romance?
The very first one that jumped to mind was something by Ed Sheeran. He's not only one of my favorite musicians, but he's British. I've been listening to his latest album for a solid year, and one of my favorite songs is Perfect. When I heard him sing it in concert last August, I knew that I wanted it for this book. It captured the romance and simple beauty of an important scene in the book.
The second song was a gimme. With the battle Kyra wages with the media, Bonnie Raitt's Something to Talk About was exactly the wry poke at rumors and gossip that I needed.
The ABBA songs were a nod back to the days when I was young and dreaming of what it would be like to be part of a royal romance. I was a huge ABBA fan, and these few songs brought back sweet memories.
While writing this book, I was also binge-watching Grey's Anatomy, one of my favorite series of all time. The music Shonda Rimes uses on that show lent me a few ideas, including Brandi Carlile's The Story.
Enjoy all of THE ANTI-CINDERELLA tunes . . . and be sure to follow me on Spotify to keep up with all my bookish music.
