Pentagon Roswell Cover Up Was Already Exposed At 1997 Press Conference, Only Now Gets Viral
"This will be the final word on the Roswell incident. Whether you accept that as the explanation is up to you, but we do," said Colonel John Haynes at a press conference.
By Myth & Mystery | Guest Post
In July 1997, the US Air Force held a press conference to stop rumours that they recovered a "flying saucer" and extraterrestrial bodies during the incident. But it did not go well. Instead of satisfactory answers, Col. John Haynes brought more confusion and curiosity to the case. The Air Force took 50 years just to say, "I don't know what they saw in 1947."
Roswell UFO Incident Brief
On July 8, 1947, Colonel Jesse Marcel stated in a press release that "the US Air Force has recovered a flying disk with alien bodies had crashed in New Mexico." Unfortunately, a new press release was issued later, which certainly was to change the facts of the first one, and now the crashed UFO turned into a crashed weather balloon.
The updated weather balloon theory did not add any significant details that would explain why or how a highly decorated war officer (Col. Marcel), who participated in delivering the first nuclear weapons used in war, mistook a weather balloon for a crashed disk with alien bodies.
Dozens of US military officers claimed that the crash involved extraterrestrial craft with aliens, while sceptics tried hard to deny it. Besides, the US government covered the whole incident calling it a military program (Project Mogul).
Last Roswell Press Conference
The 1997 press conference (Below you can find a full 24-minute video) was to justify that it was the invasion of the crash-test dummies, mannequins designed to test high-altitude parachutes. The Air force Colonel John Haynes based his statements on a detailed 231-page report named "The Roswell Report," which included photographs, film footage, original records and witness statements of the event at Roswell on the night of July 4, 1947.
Colonel John Haynes at a press conference
Haynes explained that the alien bodies were mannequins, sent aloft with sensitive auditory equipment to detect nuclear detonations in Russia. Dummies were sent aloft for scientific research. But on carefully listening to Hayne's words, he does not say aliens' bodies were mannequins. He said "bodies observed in New Mexico desert were probably test-dummies" as an explanation for aliens.
Now it raises a question as to how a highly decorated war officer, lieutenant colonel Jesse Marcel, mistook mannequins for aliens.
The report of alien autopsies was discussed in the press conference. Haynes explained multiple Air Force accidents resulted in the loss of human lives. So, does it mean from this report that not only cannot Air Force officers recognize dummies, but medical staff have never seen human cadavers before? Did this 1997 report help close the Roswell case, or just raise more suspicion?
The first question posed to Haynes by a journalist was "Why did it take so long to come to this conclusion, after multiple other conclusions?" With a pause, Haynes stated: "The first report…" and then in essence: "It took a while for our historians to find any photo evidence of what I am now telling you." Isn't it ridiculous that the scientist did not take any photo evidence to document how the test dummies held up under stress in a crash?
The second question, essentially calling Haynes out, "You're talking about 1950s test dummies, that happened nearly a decade after the Roswell incident…" Again, Haynes says, "Well… That's the problem with time compression. I don't know what they saw in 1947. But I am quite sure it was "probably" Project Mogul."
The third question was "Why don't 'conspiracy theorists' believe you?" Before the 2017 New York Times report that UFOs were only in conspiracies, only some people knew the real truth. But it is true that the US government has been covering up the UFO truth for decades. Still, there is no proper explanation for Roswell crashes.
Anyway, Haynes replied to this question by saying that he does not have a clue why people believe what they believe. Isn't that kind of the job of the military in general, to speculate what and why people believe things so you can predict reactions and formulate proactive responses to deescalate potential volatile situations?
As per Haynes, there were "lots" of dummies dropped, around 2,500 hundred balloons in New Mexico alone, then why is there no photographic evidence of that? Haynes, to a conspiracy theorist: "But they must look at the evidence," and then holds up the New Roswell Testament, "Here's this book."
According to him, the book had everything that people wanted to know about Roswell. He clearly meant to disregard all of the hard work done on The Project Blue Book, Project Sign, Project Grudge, and The Robertson's Panel. But then 30 years later, NY Times exposed the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program which single-handedly dismissed Col. Hayne's statement given in the 1997 Roswell press conference.
The following question: "Does the US Airforce regret not declassifying crash test dummies and weather balloons?" Haynes: "Great question. Nothing in this book was ever classified." Then why did it take the USAF 50 years to come down to this conclusion? He further said, "In the first reports, everything was classified in the '70s," by this time, Hayne created confusion among the reporters. It was NEVER classified, or it was classified in the 70s, which means he did not answer the question.
According to Haynes, test dummies were not used until 1953. But, if you "overlay" the material from his book and extrapolate backward in time, you may have a better explanation than what was initially reported "it's aliens," followed by "it's not aliens," which means… Why was there a need for the press conference again?
Haynes was very proud of this report. According to him, it answered lots of questions. But he could not even answer the questions being put to him, and several times said: "Well, the answer escapes me, but it is in the book."
The last question to Haynes was essentially, "How do you know you're not being used for misinformation and you don't know everything?" Haynes replied: "It's my job to know everything." Then how does the Navy seems to know more than the Air Force about UFOs? Why is the Air Force still silent on this subject?

On March 13, 1997, thousands of witnesses in Phoenix, including the governor of Arizona, John Fife Symington III, witnessed a UFO. The event lasted from 7:30 pm and 10:30 pm MST, made no noise, and was the size of a football field, based on witness testimony suggesting it occluded large swaths of stars from the sky. The military said it happened due to the "flares" they dropped.
The most interesting thing about the Phoenix Lights was it took place in March. It did not make national headlines, the cover of The USA Today, until June. Interestingly, the final statement on Roswell just happened to fall in June.
The 1997 Roswell Press conference ended with the word "Probably." However, there was no "probably" in the first new release about Roswell. There was no "probably" in the Nimitz TicTac incident report. The UAP, the new term for UFOs, went from 80,000 feet to sea level in less than one second, without a single sonic boom. Interestingly, David Fravor and his Wingman, did not say "probably." It was definitely non-human.
Highly trained and reputable military and law enforcement officers, government officials, journalists, and scientists have been telling "it's aliens." There are more credible people saying it's aliens, for example, Haim Eshed and Chris Mellon. The Phoenix Lights should have been issued in the year of disclosure in 1997, but instead, the US Air Force doubled down on "it was a weather balloon."

Myanmar-based rights groups submit a complaint to the OECD against Telenor sale
July 28, 2021 - by Mette Larsen - 2 Comments.

A total of 474 civil society organisations have submitted a complaint to the OECD against Norway's Telenor after the telecom giant earlier this month sold its Myanmar business to M1 Group, Financial Times reports.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organization that works to build better policies for better lives and the Myanmar-based rights groups that endorsed the complaint have remained anonymous because of what they called "extreme rights abuses" by Gen Min Aung Hlaing's junta since it took over power of the country in February.
The complaint to OECD has been submitted by the Amsterdam-based Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations, a non-profit group, on behalf of the civil rights organizations. In the complaint, the groups alleged that Telenor "irresponsibly disengaged from its Myanmar operations" and failed to act by OECD and UN principles on business and human rights when the Norwegian state-owned telecoms company sold its business to M1 Group, which was funded by Lebanon's new prime minister-designate.
In the complaint to Norway's national contact point under the OECD's guidelines for multinational enterprises, the groups state that "Telenor has failed to conduct appropriate risk-based due diligence and has failed to seek to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights impacts to its customers potentially arising from the sale of its Myanmar operations. Telenor failed to engage with relevant stakeholders in relation to the sale of Telenor Myanmar to M1 Group."
Since Telenor announced the sale of its local business in Myanmar, human rights groups, journalists, and others have voiced concerns that M1 Group might be less vigilant in resisting censorship and protecting customers' data, and according to Vicky Bowman, director of the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business, Telenor's decision to exit is a big disappointment to those in Myanmar who care about digital rights and responsible business practices. "Before it took the decision, it did not engage with its Myanmar users to find out their views." Vicky Bowman said.
Financial Times writes that Telenor did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Rise of Phoenixes 《 凰权 》Huang Quan
Blood everywhere, the man lying on the ground unknown, the crowd shouting, the brother once again planted and escaped.
It happened so quickly and unexpectedly, Feng Zhiwei, who had always been calm, was also stunned.
Standing there, she looked at Feng Hao's disappeared direction, her heart raged for a moment and then heard a slight" click" in her hand.
A sound, a cloud of dust in the air and the raging crowd suddenly stopped.
As soon as Feng Zhiwei lowered her head, she saw that half of the brick in her hand had broken into a thousand pieces and fell to the ground.
Feng Zhiwei raised her hand in disbelief but she couldn't see what was wrong after looking at it for half a day.
She tries to get back the sudden rush of blood, gives it another squeeze and the cinder block doesn't budge.
As soon as she let go of her hand, the cinder blocks fell to the ground and she crushed them with her foot, leaving only a pile of ashes on the ground.
Then she smiled and said, "Oh my, why did this man suddenly fall down? Get medical help!"
Everyone was staring at the 'murderer' who was holding a bloody brick a moment ago but now he was trying to save others but they couldn't follow Feng Zhiwei's strange thoughts.
"I'm just a poor man, "Feng Zhiwei slapped the ashes in her palm, immediately forcing the first gentleman to take a step back, "If I don't have money to pay the medical fee, I won't bother, this gentleman's injury is not serious, please, everyone, please."
With a smile, Feng Zhiwei smiled at the stunned people and then calmly turned around and left the stage.
A cold breeze blew through and the clothes on my back were chilly.
Just a few more steps and I'll be out of sight of the crowd…
"Pop, pop, pop."
Three slow, measured applause, bursting out in a strange silence.
When Feng Zhiwei turned her head, she saw two men sitting on two horses not far away, followed by a large group of officials and magistrates.
On the left side of the white horse was a young man, in a purple brocade robe, handsome and somewhat childish, with eyes as bright as black pearls, staring at her with wide eyes.
On the right side of the black horse, the man looked down at her carelessly, his moon white and blue mountain demon robe was as elegant as a beam of moonlight and his face temperament reflected each other but his cape was deep black, embroidered with a large group of light gold mandala, flowing on the shoulders, demonic and cold, the whole person had a kind of contradictory beauty of seduction.
His eyes were still and deep, staring at Feng Zhiwei and no ripples could be seen.
Feng Zhiwei was embarrassed and tugged at the corners of her mouth: last time she promised not to cause any trouble or kill anyone and now she encounters this kind of situation again.
This time it was worse, she hit him with a brick in the street and then she drove him off.
After all, she's a lady, she's always followed the rules, so why is it so coincidental that she meets him every time? Hey, maybe it's not his fortune.
The purple-clothed boy glared at the horse, pointed at Feng Zhiwei and ate, "You–you–"
Feng Zhiwei's heart sank, knowing that these people must have seen her holding the brick, so it would be hard to muddle through today.
When the young man saw Feng Zhiwei destroy the weapon and deny the debt, he subconsciously said something but somehow, seeing Feng Zhiwei's calm but angry eyes at that critical moment, he opened his mouth and blocked the words in his throat.
He looked to his side and felt that Sixth Brother, who was usually very deep, was looking at people in a strange way.
The horse's whip cracked softly on the gilded saddle blanket and the man on the black horse, not letting his young brother finish his sentence, spoke up, "What's the fuss?"
"Your Highness!" As if seeing a savior, those gentlemen rushed over but didn't dare to get too close to that horse, "The young master of the Wu family has been killed!"
Feng Zhiwei's heart was heavy again: Wu, the youngest son, obviously a direct descendant of the current dynasty's Prince Fu family, Feng Hao had actually hit a noble younger brother at this level and caused such a big trouble again!
And the man with three faces, which prince is he? Rumor has it that the Crown Prince is unpredictable, the second prince is domineering, the fifth prince is cold and unapproachable, the sixth prince is a member of the Crown Prince's gang and is known for his beauty and flirtatious personality, the seventh prince is friends with the fifth prince and has a good reputation and is the first among the princes to be crowned king and the tenth prince is young.
Depending on the age, he is either six or seven.
"Fool." The man's upturned eyes were full of scorn and the whip was pointed at the boy, "dead or alive, don't you know?"
The people swarmed to see the wounded underground again and a few dukes hurriedly carried the man away for treatment and the commander of the Nine Cities Capital Guard, who was in charge of the security of the capital, drove his horse to the man's side and frowned, asking, "Do you know who the murderer is?"
"Him!" The rest of them all pointed at Feng Zhiwei.
Feng Zhiwei looked surprised, took a step back, innocent stare, "Passerby curious, unintentionally involved, clambering and biting indiscriminately, how can I prove innocent!"
"You deserve trouble because of the suddenness of the incident and your inability to avoid it." The man looked down on her and was so quick and fluent that he blocked Feng Zhiwei.
Raising their eyes, their gazes met again, one wary, the other cold and for a while Feng Zhiwei lowered her eyes, taking the initiative to avoid.
The situation is better than the person, even if he has a smart mouth, it's better not to show it off at this time.
This one is inscrutable but at least she was able to clear up some of the connections in that sentence.
The Commander of the Nine Cities looked slightly embarrassed and bowed to the man: "Your Highness, there must be an explanation from Lord Fu, this person is under suspicion…"
The phoenix eyes flew obliquely, glancing at Feng Zhiwei, the man said indifferently, "If you say you are innocent, then who might testify against the murderer?"
Feng Zhiwei was startled, her mind was racing, she gritted her teeth for a while and resisted the urge to recruit Feng Hao, what's the use of recruiting him? What's the point of recruiting him? If the identity of the brothel servant is involved, if Qiu Residence finds out about it, they may even make an insult to him and if that happens, will the mother choose between herself and her brother again?
A sore heart but not a trace of a face, frankly smiling and pointing behind him: "Just now, I saw a man with blood on his hands, crossing the wall, heading west."
The young man on the white horse choked, suddenly couldn't stop coughing, the man on the black horse turned to look at him, the young man accosted: "Uh, Sixth Brother, it's okay, the wind I flashed my tongue."
Sixth Brother… It's the Sixth Prince, Prince of Chu, and the Tenth Prince, Ning Ji.
There is a poem in the capital: "Early plum blossoms on the high tree, reflecting the blue of the Chu sky." Alluding to the title of Prince of Chu, Ning Yi.
It was not the Crown Prince, nor the Seventh Prince, who was called the Wise King, who was the most popular of all the princes but the Sixth Prince, who was so young and bright that when he was born, the court heard the sound of music in the sky but the legend did not seem to bring him luck. But for some reason, he was soon given to his own sister, the Princess Yao, to raise.
It is rumored that Ning Yi was very late to speak his first words at the age of three but it seems that his late words opened his eyes to a lifetime of wisdom and at the age of five, he beat the national Paishou player Zhenlong game and at the age of seven, he had a poem with the world's most talented and amazing Xin Ziyan and in a short period of time, he composed "The Righteous Manner", a thousand words long poem, which made Xin Ziyan amazed, He became the best friend of Ning Yi and was invited by the royal family to be the head of the first academy in the world, which made him a sensation in the capital.
After the founding of the Tiansheng Kingdom at the seventh year of reign, a serious illness buried the child's infinite talent and Ning Yi's temperament changed. The courtesan's red lips and teeth are always calling out to him.
Therefore, Xin Ziyan once sighed to a friend: "I want to give away ten thousand miles, far and wide, separated by mountains and rivers", which is the next line of the poem that mirrors Ning Yi's poem." and for Ning Yi today, it has no meaning anymore.
Because of that illness, Ning Yi never went to Chu, located in the northwest of Tiansheng and stayed in the capital to recuperate. Of course, whether to use medicine or beauty fragrance to recuperate, it's still worth considering.
But Feng Zhiwei would never speculate on this question now and she pointed in that direction with great seriousness, Ning Yi glanced at her and before she could say anything, the Tenth Prince Ning Ji, the "windy one", was already smiling and laughing: "So, can you lead the way, sir?"
He smiled wryly, his dark eyes twinkled as if he was watching a good show, thinking that Feng Zhiwei must have a guilty conscience but when he nodded, he turned and left.
"Keep up!" Ning Ji was stunned but he reacted quickly.
The constables hurriedly followed and Feng Zhiwei led them left and right, into an alley, saying, "I saw someone going down this alley."
She was referring to the broad-robed man's house-Ning Yi was willing to give her another chance to save herself and she instantly thought of this mysterious man and if she gave up Feng Hao, she might even get herself involved and if she gave up this man, at least he would be able to save himself and if he started to fight, she would be able to fish her way out.
Thinking this, Feng Zhiwei quietly retreated a few steps, waiting to run away once the chaos started.
She moved backwards facing the officer and felt a coldness in her back and something hard gripped her waist.
Turned around and saw the gold inlaid jade horse whip across his back, the horse Ning Yi lowered eyebrows and elegant face, smiling almost kindly to look at her, "Where are you going?"

ANASAZI Foundation
In the Native American tradition, life is a "walking." One's walking is determined by the state of one's heart toward all that is around him. Anasazi is a Navajo word commonly interpreted as "the Ancient Ones." According to legends, the wise teachers taught that the Creator placed man on the earth in order for him to learn how to "walk forward"—in harmony with man and all creation.
For years, ANASAZI Foundation—a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in Arizona—has served families by introducing them to a New Beginning and helping them to discover their Seed of Greatness and the wisdom of the lives led by these Ancient Ones.
Founded by renowned wilderness pioneers Larry Olsen and Ezekiel Sanchez (a Totonac Indian whose native name is Good Buffalo Eagle), ANASAZI gives young people an opportunity, through a primitive living experience and a philosophy that invites healing at the hands of nature, to effect a change of heart—a change in one's whole way of walking in the world. ANASAZI's wilderness experience is nonpunitive. To those at ANASAZI, the wilderness is not a harsh place to break youth down but rather a safe place—a place free from distractions, where one can learn, ponder, discover, and build.
Through this experience and ANASAZI's concurrent work with parents, ANASAZI prepares parents and children to turn their hearts to one another, begin anew, and walk in harmony in the wilderness of the world.

Drawing on 30 years of helping families, this profound fable by the Anasazi Foundation illustrates the true anguish of conflict and explains how we can end war within ourselves, within our families, and even between nations.
Created in 1988 by renowned wilderness pioneers Larry D. Olsen and Ezekiel C. Sanchez (a Totonac Indian whose native name is Good Buffalo Eagle), the Anasazi Foundation invites young people, through a wilderness living experience, to effect a change of heart. For over thirty years, their teachings have helped families begin anew and walk in harmony in the wilderness of the world.
Inspired by their wisdom, this book tells the story of two brothers whose warring hearts threaten to destroy their lives and their community. Trapped in a canyon, the two brothers are rescued by a mysterious old man who perceives their need for peace. He offers to guide them home -- inviting them to open their hearts toward a New Beginning. When they agree, he teaches them the five legends of peace. And as they walk forward, they learn that we are free to create peace in our own lives--and how to do it. This discovery saves not only the brothers but ultimately their people. This poetic narrative offers us all a hopeful way out of the canyons of war, leaving behind the warring within.
This poetic and moving allegory is written for all ages. Its message is both timeless and desperately needed for our own time.
"As the ANASAZI program grew, I put my efforts into developing a companion program to include parents and families in the powerful principles their children were learning on the trail. ANASAZI is not just our vision—it is the Creator's work. The Five Legends is based on our work to help heal divided hearts." —Sherrel Olsen, Co-Founder Mother of ANASAZI Foundation
"The Five Legends is a heartwarming book about peace and the power of family. I highly recommend it." —Steve Young, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback and ESPN commentator
"Having taught youth for over twenty years (some of whom were labeled 'at-risk'), I can definitively say most youth are in need of a book like The Five Legends. This book is perfect for teenagers as it doesn't come across as preachy but instead allows them to arrive at the principle on their own." —Mark Rice, High School English Teacher
"A touching story of reconciliation, new beginnings, and shared humanity. Written from the heart for the heart." —The Jenkins Family (Bruce, Shari and Aly), Friends of ANASAZI Foundation
"This book inspired me to be more understanding of others. It can be easy to find fault with our 'brothers.' The Creator is the path to love, harmony and forgiveness, and following that path allows us to live in the 'WE' world." —Mike Tetmeyer, Retired Sr. Vice President of Marketing of Hy-Vee Food Stores
"The Five Legends is a life-changing fable about a mother's unconditional love and how seeing people truthfully can change everything." —Ganel-Lyn Condie, Speaker and Bestselling Author

WITH THE INFECTIOUS AND EMOTIONALLY COMPELLING NEW POP SINGLE "WITHOUT YOU" – SET FOR RELEASE FEBRUARY2 ON iTUNES, GOOGLE MUSIC AND OTHER DIGITAL PLATFORMS. THERE WILL BE A PRE-RELEASE ON JANUARY 24.
Since launching her performing career as the youngest singer ever to grace the stage at NYC's legendary Rainbow Room, Hilary Kole has conquered the hearts of jazz fans throughout the world with her intimate piano and vocal performances, themed shows with her jazz ensemble and special concert hall symphony performances. Capping nearly a decade of popular, critically acclaimed recordings showcasing her storytelling panache via fresh interpretations of pop and jazz standards, the multi-talented performer launches the next phase off her storied career with the infectious and emotionally compelling new pop single "Without You" – set for release February 2 on iTunes, Google Music and other digital platforms. There will be a pre-release on January 24.
Showcasing a more intimate side of her artistry than any previous release, Hilary co-wrote "Without You" with fellow multi-talented New York singing sensation Devin Bing, whom HuffPo has proclaimed as "a total original with the charisma of a 'Golden Age' entertainer." Devin also produced the track and plays the haunting piano that introduces Hilary's narrative of facing the crippling enduring realities of heartbreak and finding the renewed strength to move on in a healthy positive way. Driven by their similar backgrounds (she went to Manhattan School of Music, he to the University of Miami to study music) and a sharply intuitive musical chemistry, Hilary and Devin are currently working on several follow-up singles that they plan to release throughout the winter and spring 2018.
Longtime Hilary fans know that in addition to being a brilliant song stylist and interpreter, she is an accomplished songwriter who has included in her shows original material among the Gershwin, Porter, Bernstein and Mercer pieces for the past five years. "Though I've made my living as a jazz singer," she says, "I've sung a lot of pop songs, too. Most people don't know that I studied composition in school and have been writing my own music for a long time. When you become known as an interpreter of standards, it's a challenge to get people to see you in a different light.
In addition to headlining famed NYC venues as Town Hall, Birdland, The Blue Notes, Iridium, Jazz At Lincoln Center, The Jazz Standard and Carnegie Hall (with the New York Pops and with Michael Feinstein), Hilary debuted at the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel as the co-writer and star of the critically acclaimed, Off-Broadway revues "Our Sinatra" and "Singing Astaire." She made her concert hall debut at Lincoln Center as part of the "American Songbook Series".
In June 2007, Hilary appeared at Carnegie Hall in a Tribute to Oscar Peterson, a performance reprised in January 2008 at the Canadian Memorial to Dr. Peterson at Roy Thompson Hall alongside Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock and Nancy Wilson. Globally, she has headlined at the Umbria Jazz Festival, The Montreal Jazz Festival, the Nairn Jazz Festival in Scotland, and the Cotton Club and Blue Note in Japan. In 2016, upon releasing The Judy Garland Project, she toured the U.S. and Asia, performing Garland's iconic repertoire with a small ensemble group and orchestras. Hilary is currently writing a new show for orchestra based on the top female composers of the past half century, from Peggy Lee to Alanis Morissette and Heart.
Her previous discography includes the John Pizzarelli produced Haunted Heart (2009); You Are There (2010), featuring vocal piano duets with legendary jazz pianists Dave Brubeck, Michel Legrand, Benny Green, Cedar Walton, Hank Jones and others; and the deeply personal A Self-Portrait (2014), which included interpretations of contemporary pop classics from the rock era.

I attended a small Christian college in the suburbs of Denver. Colorado Christian University only took one city block in Lakewood near the intersection of two main roads, Alameda and Wadsworth–which is also a trendy shopping, eating, apartment living area called Bel Mar. Positioned between having Downtown to the East and mountains to the West, CCU could not be more perfectly placed.
CCU required undergrad students to have a certain number of ministry hours before they graduated. First semester of freshman year, I attended the ministry fair. There were so many opportunities to work with, but that semester I had all afternoon and evening classes (yes, no 8am's for me! But it only lasted that one semester.) Feeling discouraged, I near the end of the tables and come to a board that reads, "Westside." A girl greeted me and gives me an introduction on the ministry. There was going to be a volunteer meeting later that week, at a time I could attend. I took the information papers, but don't really remember reading them. I was just excited that this could be a possibility–Thursday evenings was the only time I had available and Westside ran a street church on that evening.
At the volunteer meeting, I met AB. She had a slide show of pictures with stories of certain kids. The neighborhood was to the west of Downtown Denver; AB has been living among these kids and their families for years–her love for serving them and sharing hope with them was captivating. For me, growing up in a small farm town and living in the country, everything about this ministry was completely out of my experience and comfort zone. Yet, I knew in my heart that this was it–my ministry.
I didn't just get my ministry hours. I got a family. When God started piecing together the future plans for the move to Ohio, I had been with the ministry (properly called The Third Story) for almost six years. Change is hard and it was the kids, AB, street church, other volunteers that I had become close friends with that I wanted to cling to and not let go. Knowing that I would no longer be physically part of the family tore my heart. AB was supportive and encouraging; she still is. The older kids seemed to understand; change is so constant for them, I think they handled it better than myself.
I could talk for hours about street church–but the stories of just the kids wouldn't be complete. Street church would not be complete nor AB…not without the dog tales! (pun somewhat intended.) When I first started, I heard of Jack. Jack is a legend–he would bark like he was singing when we sang songs before the Bible story; you quickly learned not to leave your plate near the table edge as he could swipe it clean in one bite; and he was master protector, yet so gentle. The kids would lean against him at story time and always said his name in the prayer requests. About a year and a half into the ministry, AB adopted another dog. Still in her puppy years, she brought so much enthusiasm to Jack's older years. Although a rough transition beginning,these two were a perfect combination.
This is Sofia. My first memory of her was when I was returning from getting kids on my neighborhood pick-up route. My partner and I led our kids down to the basement area (that AB rents) of a church where weekly club takes place. If you're expecting peace and quiet, club would not be your dream destination. Between the kids' conversations and giggling, games and never-ending jump rope, Jack barking, AB yelling for everyone's attention…it sounds like chaos, but it actually runs smoothly considering everything.
Everything including Sofia. On that first evening she came to street church, I walk in to see the younger boys running in huge circles across the room with a puppy chasing them. The next time I see her, she was at home chasing the freshly falling snowflakes with the cone around her neck. After recovering from her eye surgery, Sofia started attending club again. One eye didn't stop her momentum; in fact, we had to have kids keep their personal Nerf footballs at home, because Sofia would tear it to nothing otherwise.
The only change I noticed in Sofia was how light affected her attention. When we would sit in the kitchen for our before-getting-kids meeting to discuss the evening agenda and such, Sofia usually sat in someone's lap. However, she was obsessed with the sunlight that came in from the small window to the linoleum floor. She would watch for any movement in the shadow parts that would cause the lighted parts to shimmer. More like a cat motion, she would pounce at the light, wagging her tail and could not be easily swayed to leave the room until the kids arrived.
I have been thinking of Sofia lately. Not that I am obsessed with light on the floor or only have one eye, but my eyes are causing me to have a different view of and in light. I am not one for the dark–even before my balance problems, I never have been one to like dimly lit rooms. In light, I can see more fully. However, with my right eye now n a constant greyly dark veil, my vision is dimly lit. And now, light…especially the color white…is almost illuminated. Light now causes me to squint. It makes lip-reading more challenging and working at this computer even more slow as I consistently have to refocus my eye. The strangest part is how it affects color otherwise. Some tones look different in shade when I test blink my eyes.
My eyes are playing the controlling game. My left eye, once the weak, now wants to lead. My right eye now acts like my lazy eye. I tell myself, "Focus," all day as if it is a comforting word when my eye goes in a haze. I am trying to be patient, give the medicine time, and not become obsessed with fear–the future will shimmer with changing shadows, and it's out of my control. Then I am reminded: my future is Light…and when my eyes are truly healed, there will be no grey, no shadows, no blur, no refocusing, no swollen optic nerves, no more fear of darkness.
"Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus." Hymn.


The Tinker & Rasor Model M/1 Detector has received wide acceptance in the corrosion control and industrial painting industry as a device for locating bare spots or (holidays) in the thin protective films which are sprayed or brushed on metal or concrete surfaces. This detector is non-destructive and the applied voltage to the coating never exceeds 67.5 volts at any time.
The inspection electrode consists of a 2" x 2" x 7" cellulose sponge which, when dampened with water, is moved over the coated surface. When the electrode passes a void or bare spot, a small current flows and actuates an audible signal in the instrument. The damp sponge provides an electrically conductive film that contacts the surface being inspected and insures good inspection even in corners and around irregular shapes where holidays are most likely to occur.
New six cell battery pack of AA size batteries readily available anywhere.
Optional comfortable headphones for high noise environments.
Non-destructive detector case made of a tough ABS plastic.
Never applies more than 67.5 volts at any time.
Detector Unit with batteries, housed in a 5" x 6" x 3" inch heavy duty two-color plastic case complete with slides for attaching to the operator's belt.
Wand with 18"phenolic handle, clamp and 6-foot cable. Longer wand handles for inside inspection available at extra cost.
Cellulose sponge electrode 2" x 2" x 7"
Shipping weight (domestic): 4 lbs (1.8 kg) for domestic delivery.


Food glorious food! Perfect for a quick dinner recipe or how to smoke your own fish for the freshest of seafood salads. It's all here, plus you can share your own favourite recipe and have it published on this site!

Marie McDonald was born in 1926 and spent most of her childhood on the rural island of Molokai in the Hawaiian chain. She is descended from two great traditions: on her mother's side, the Mahoe line of Hawaiian chiefs; on her father's side, the distinguished Adams family of New England. She journeyed to Texas for her advanced education, earning a degree in art from Texas Woman's University in Denton. Since then, she has lived in Hawaii, where she has taught art to Hawaiian students for many years in the public schools. She also owns and operates the Honopua Flower Growers in Waimea, on the big island of Hawaii.
McDonald is not only the islands' best-known practitioner of the art of Hawaiian lei making, but she is also its primary scholar. Her research and documentation of the tradition in her 1985 book Ka Lei:The Leis of Hawaii is the authoritative source on the subject. After the book's publication, she conducted field research on lei traditions associated with Hawaiian ranching. She finally located a lei maker on Maui who could tell her about the leis once made of sisal fiber scraps — the lei malino. At her own ranch on the big island, she experiments regularly with raising older plants and flowers.
Hawaiian cowboys wear leis in parades and rodeos and at other times when the spirit moves them. Leis are used to welcome others, whether they be strangers or friends; to celebrate holidays, weddings, and birthdays; and to honor the dead. High school boys give their dates leis to match their dresses, and at graduation the students are piled "to the eyebrows" with leis, in McDonald's words.
There are a number of lei-making techniques. Hili is a simple braid of one material. Haku is the most difficult, in which the lei maker braids ferns or other leaves and mounts flowers into the plait. A thread of hibiscus bark or raffia binds a wili lei. A kipu'u lei is knotted, whereas a humupapa lei is sewn to a base of bark or fabric. Because Hawaii has a virtually seasonless climate, a variety of buds, blossoms, fruits, and leaves are available year-round. Because many native species are endangered, McDonald encourages her students to grow lei gardens. "Orchids, carnations, and other things, you can buy in the supermarket," she said.
Materials for traditional leis are actually chosen first for fragrance. Texture and the feel of the material against the wearer's skin are also considered. Movement is important for leis worn by hula dancers and for head leis. "They are very intriguing and graceful and enhance the beauty of men and women," McDonald said.
Least important is how long a lei will last. "Some Westerners have trouble understanding that the meaning of the lei is in the making and giving, perhaps because they live in such a plastic world," McDonald said. "The lei is an expression of love, affection, honor, and respect. It's the most beautiful thing I can make, from the most beautiful material at hand. As long as the lei is at its peak when I give it to you, it shows that I care."
Through her work as a resource specialist for the Department of Parks and Recreation, McDonald devoted many years to educating Hawaii's youth. She also worked as an art teacher in North Kohala, an isolated area on Hawaii. She has rarely turned down a request to provide leis and floral decorations for a special occasion. She also has consulted on displays and presented numerous demonstrations, both at home and on her extensive travels.

I'M ANALYZING BIG DATASETS TO FIND THE TREASURES THEY HOLD
"In our Process Mining course, we mined a dataset to find out the different ways loan applications are processed. In theory, ineligible people get rejected while others get an offer. But there wasn't really a standardized process. Our job was to find out from the data what the typical tracks were and why there were exceptions. Eindhoven is leading in this field, a hot topic with many opportunities and good future prospects. TU/e has high rankings and focuses on real-life applications, not just theory. It is great to have many other international students in my program. The coursework is challenging so I haven't had much time to discover everything Eindhoven has to offer, but I enjoy riding my bike through the countryside. In the future, I'd like to work as researcher for a leading data science firm such as RapidMiner."


It's not easy being green, but at a salinity site near Western Plains Zoo the high survival rate of about 2000 trees has surprised project co-ordinators.
More than 95 per cent of the striplings planted last September have weathered the first critical months.
With little more than good ground preparation and some conscientious weed control the six species are thriving.
The two-hectare site is one of 50 trials west of the Blue Mountains and part of the State Salinity Management Strategy.
Locally the project is under the control of State Forests, Western Plains Zoo and Dubbo City Council.
"By choosing different sites, soil types and species the trial will determine which trees are the most suitable for production in terms of combating salinity and commercial viability," council's landcare director Ken Rogers said.
Early days or not the zoo, which hopes one day to run animals on the site, believes there is an important message for landholders.
"We are much the same as a working farm except we have weird-looking animals instead of cows," environment co-ordinator Phil Cameron said.
State Forests western regional manager Paul Wells described the trial as "critical" in the fight against salinity. Planting trees, he said, sucked up carbon and lowered the water table.


Claystone beds directly below and above the Emeishan basalts in SW China formed around the Guadalupian-Lopingian (G-L) boundary. Zircons from both levels give U–Pb ages of ~ 260 Ma, and are identical within-error to ages reported for the Emeishan Large Igneous Province (LIP). The claystones lack Nb-Ta anomalies on primitive mantle normalized elemental diagrams; zircons from these claystones have a geochemical affinity to within-plate-type magmas. These features, combined with the strong negative Eu anomalies in the zircons and high Al2O3/TiO2 ratios, indicate that claystones around the G-L boundary have a silicic volcanic component related to Emeishan LIP. Zircons from the underlying claystone bed have much higher U/Yb and Th/Nb ratios and lower εHf(t) values than those overlying the LIP, suggesting that early-stage silicic volcanic rocks had a higher crustal contamination or assimilation during magmatic processes. In terms of stratigraphic correlation, our data demonstrate that silicic eruptions occurred not only at the end, but also at the beginning of the Emeishan LIP, and the overall duration of the main basaltic phase was short (< 1 m.y).


Some athletes even serve jail sentences for lying about using that hormone use, yet, kids in school abuse it every day, as it is promoted as health food by USDA.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has promoted a program in which low fat or no-fat milk has replaced whole milk in school systems in their futile effort to end the obesity epidemic among children.
In their ignorance, school regulators and USDA ignoramuses do not consider that low fat and high fat milk both naturally contain powerful growth hormones which stimulate triple-t growth (tummy, tush, and...well, that other t-word) growth in little girls and boys.
The most POWERFUL growth hormone in the human body (IGF-I) is identical to the most powerful growth hormone in the cow's body. Use of that hormone gets athletes banned from their sports, and that includes Olympians, triathletes, baseball players, and tennis players. Some athletes even serve jail sentences for lying about using that hormone use, yet, kids in school abuse it every day, as it is promoted as health food by USDA.
Exhibiting their collective weakness of logical neural function, USDA now promotes low fat milk, not reasoning that if the fat is removed, milk will contain proportionally more protein and therefore, more protein hormones. Duh!
The May, 2011 issue of the Journal of Clinical Nutrition (vol. 93 no. 5 1117-1127) contains a study which measured milk consumption in 4-13 year olds in a series of random 24-week clinical trials.
Children drank either full-fat milk or low fat milk. The results surprised investigators who found no difference between the two groups in weight gain or weight loss.
Advice to parents to change to reduced-fat products was effective in reducing children's saturated fat intakes but did not alter energy intakes or measures of adiposity."


KOTA KINABALU, Jan 19 (Bernama) – Police confiscated a box containing 6kg of ketum leaves which was sent from Alor Setar, Kedah to the district and left unclaimed at a courier service company, Tuesday.
In a statement today, Kota Kinabalu police chief, ACP Habibi Majinji, said the case will be investigated under Section 30 (3) of the Poison Act 1952.
At the same time, Habibi informed that in a week-long operation that ended yesterday to battle the drug problem in Likas and Tanjung Aru, 57 people aged between 18 and 53 were detained by police.
They consisted of 38 locals and 19 foreign nationals, with 12 taken in for drug possession and 45 for testing positive in a urine drug screening.
The statement added that the seizure of 6.023kg has an estimated value of RM4,000.

Wiqueram (Wicheramus) fou un governant de Túscia del temps de Carlemany, successor del duc Aló (Allone) vers el 797. Hauria succeït al duc quan aquest darrer va desobeir les ordes de Carlemany en relació a Gausfred (fill i successor de l'abat Walfred), abat del Mont de San Pietro a Monteverdi, al que va intentar fer matar.

És esmentat com a duc el 800 i com a comte el 810. El 796 o 797 s'esmenta com a duc també a un pergami de l'arxiu arquebisbal de Lucca. No està clar si era de nació franca o llombarda. Es creu que era duc de Túscia i comte de Lucca, ja que el seu successor Bonifaci I també va ser esmentat amb els dos títols el 812 si bé després de 813 sempre comte.

Es va casar amb una dona de nom Mona o Bona, moment en què va donar una església al bisbe de Lucca per restaurar-la; junt amb la seva esposa va construir una església a Vetroniana.

El 812 o 813 el va succeir Bonifaci I el Bavarès (esmentat com a dux el 812 i comte el 813). Els comtes de terres fronteres eren anomenats també marchio (marquès) i Toscana era considerada fronterera amb els sarraïns.

I can't believe my baby is two years old. I know that every mother looks at their child and wonders where the time went. It feels like just yesterday Carlos and I were bringing her home from the hospital.
But here we are…two years later. So much has changed and yet everything is still the same.
Our days are just as busy as ever, having moved from two hour feeding schedules and nap times that never lasted long enough to rolling over, tummy time, standing, crawling, and now running and jumping in muddy puddles. I can still remember her newborn cries and it surprises me how her cries have changed so much since then. When she was first born she looked so much like Carlos but now she looks like neither of us. She's her own person with her own distinct voice, traits, and views of the world.
It's crazy how much has changed in the four~ days since she turned two, as if a switch turned on internally alerting her personality of the "terrible twos." She started doing this fake cough/cry mix when she wants something where she slyly opens her eyes to see if I'm buying her crocodile tears. Or how about she used to be so good about telling us when she was done eating but now would rather throw everything onto the floor, climb out of her high chair and try to jump off?
Would you believe me if I said that I love this stage though? I love seeing her personality shine through. I love how she laughs at things she finds funny, how fiercely independent she is/wants to be, how fearless she is, and especially how she shows her love. Every time I see her face light up when she sees me, every unprovoked hug or kiss, or even when we're watching tv and she holds my fingers, those tiny moments make my heart swell and it's as if I'm seeing her for the first time all over again.
This little girl has completely changed my life. I always thought I knew what unconditional love was and that I was the type of person to lay my life down for someone I cared about but nothing prepared me for motherhood. Giving birth to her was the first step in learning the true meanings of grace, patience, love, and kindness. And there are days when I feel like a total failure and have to constantly remind myself that I'm doing the best I can and I wouldn't change this job for the world.
Happy Birthday to my Dove, my guiding light and peace.

I haven't written in a couple of weeks due to some personal issues. I've debated writing on the subject, afraid of being too honest in such a public forum.
I've been going through an inexplicable wave of depression for the past few weeks. All I've wanted to do is stay in bed, watch Supernatural, and sleep.
At first I thought it was due to the impending arrival of Aunt Flo, but after her usual visit I'm still feeling blue. Then I figured it might be due to the wet weather we've been having but on sunny days I feel just as down.
I suffered from depression as a teenager. I went to several therapists, was put on multiple mood altering medications, suffered from the effects of said drugs, and eventually quit it all. I blocked a lot of that time in my life from my memory. I couldn't tell you why I started going to therapy to begin with even if I wanted to, but I can tell you that it wasn't something I had to deal with often after I graduated from high school.
It wasn't until recently that I started feeling it weigh on me. There hasn't been a major catalyst in these feelings. Carlos and I haven't been arguing. Things with my parents are normal. Vanessa and I are good even with the distance. Paloma has just been her usual vivacious and loud self. But somehow I can't find a way to get through this period.
I keep getting asked, "Are you okay? You don't seem okay." Those are the questions that make my skin tingle, my blood boil, and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It's a ridiculous reason to get upset. They mean well. They're my family and they love me. However when I'm in this dense fog of depression it's difficult to see their good intentions.
The worst part of feeling this way is how I feel when I'm around Paloma. My patience is thin and my temper is roaring. The more frustrated I get, the clingier and more emotional she is, causing me to get even more frustrated than before. I'm beyond blessed to be in a situation that I can leave her with my parents of her dad for a few hours so I can take time to collect myself. It breaks my heart every time I walk away, hearing her cry and reach out to me. But I know that I need to take a few moments to myself so I can be the best mom I can be to her.
Even knowing that those few moments are what's best for BOTH of us, I still get hit with mom guilt if I'm not with her 24 hours a day. I feel inadequate as a mom. I see these YouTube vloggers or other bloggers sharing their stories of their life with their littles and I feel like being depressed is something that just doesn't happen to them. I feel as if they're constantly smiling, doing cute activities with their littles and their lives are peachy. I know, logically, that it isn't true. Logically, all kids throw tantrums. Logically, all moms lose their cool. Logically, not everyone has everything together. Again…logically.
Depression isn't logical though. It has no rhyme or reason other than a chemical imbalance. I've been debating going to a therapist but finding one that speaks English is going to be difficult. I could attempt to see one but I feel like most of the sessions would be spent trying to make our way through my nervous and broken Spanish.
I often wonder if this is what postpartum depression feels like. Drowning in a glass of water, feeling completely alone and misunderstood. The more you try to explain the more people look at you with concerning eyes that are secretly saying, "Bless her heart. She has everything she could ever want and she's here complaining." Fearful of the backlash of sharing this very real crisis.
These are things that I FEEL. Having them, let alone sharing them, doesn't make me dysfunctional. It doesn't make me spoiled or flawed. I am many things: a mom, a wife, a daughter, a friend, but most of all I am human. Like most things in life, my emotions go through hills and valleys. I just so happen to be going through a valley right now. I look forward to the day when I'm back on the hill. I'll be okay if it's not today or tomorrow because I know that one day I'll feel like myself again.


On the banks of the Ruvuma River, surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Northern Mozambique, lies the picturesque province of Niassa.
Two thousand kilometers from the country's capital is a region that attracts honeymooners, adventure tourists, and conservation specialists from all over the world. Expedition guides come to work here every day, marveling at the nature, while nearby the locals go about their daily lives.
In the midst of a province exploding with biodiversity, I was intrigued to be spending the next two weeks filming in a small village 20km from the provincial capital, Lichinga.
After a week of talks with the regional peasant movement (UPCN), the cameraman and I set off to meet members of a small village, who were resisting a company operating in the region.
After only a few days I met Amado, a local farmer who had changed paths and come to work for Chikweti. His wife and kids were still living on their small farm while Amado moved to town seeking work on the plantation.
One afternoon he offered the cameraman and I an opportunity to travel with him back to his farm just "20 minutes away". Four hours, two broken down vehicles, and one puncture later, we arrived where Amado and five families were living. Needless to say Amado thought nothing of the journey, as it's a regular weekly trip for him.
The beautiful and uncommon intimacy of the footage provided a powerful palette for the film, but at the same time it imparted a clear responsibility on behalf of the crew. Every evening I would sit down with the chief and dozens of community members to watch the footage shot that day. Often in the pitch black, this sometimes went into the early hours. Yet ultimately, the immediacy of the footage insisted that I always sought out the truth beyond mere observation.
We filmed the residents in their homes, with their families, and out in the fields to see what happens; how they were organising, who they respected, what opportunities presented themselves or not. In just a few weeks we witnessed the dangers and disappointments, recorded the role of authority (both traditional and state) and saw how their experience of one forestry company affected their attitudes, their hopes and dreams.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Plant Hardiness Zone Map helps gardeners determine which nut trees can grow in the climate conditions particular to their region. Zone 9 encompasses parts of the Southern United States, from Florida and Texas to Arizona and California, as well as Hawaii. To thrive in zone 9, nut trees must tolerate average annual low temperatures to 20 degrees F and tolerate summer heat.
The black walnut (Juglans nigra) is hardy in zones 4 to 9. Black walnut trees grow from 70 to 100 feet tall with a similar spread. These North American natives have a large, open canopy and grow best in sun and moist, well-drained soil, though they tolerate drought. The black walnut produces edible, oily seeds encased in thick, yellow to green husks. Recommended cultivars for nut cultivation include the "Elmer Meyers" and "Sauber No. 1," both known for prolific production and good cracking quality, and "Thomas," which is well-adapted to Zone 9 conditions.
The pignut hickory (Carya glabra) grows to 60 feet with a 40-foot spread. These fast-growing trees prefer sun to partial shade and tolerate a range of soils. Their nuts are edible but tend to be bitter.
The pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is hardy in Zones 5 to 9. In warm climates, the pecan grows up to 140 feet tall with a slightly narrower spread. The pecan grows best in sites with sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil; it does not tolerate poorly drained soils. Pecan trees require spacing of at least 35 feet between trees and 20 feet from structures to thrive.

We bought it this past weekend as we embarked on rad covers for our bedrooms upstairs (we are so happy with how the main floor covers turned out we just can't stop!). The main floor rad covers are not quite perfect, and a lot of that can be attributed to the fact that we were doing angled cuts with a table saw. Despite our very specific pathagorean-theorum measurements (never thought you'd use that one past Grade 12 math, did you?), we weren't able to get great cuts.
This puppy makes ALL the difference in the world. It was a thrill to use it this weekend! We have all of our cuts done, the pieces are being glued together / attached, and all we have to do is buy some trim for the tops and prime and paint them. Hoping for another great weekend this weekend so we can continue to work outside!
Anyone have any great ideas for other projects that we can use our new favourite power tool on?
Rain boots as indoor shoes?
Remember in elementary school how you had outdoor and indoor shoes? (...and many other great things like cubby holes, nap time, and water and sand play tables. Oh, and finger paint).
Well, my outdoor wellies almost became my indoor shoes tonight. Here's the story...I was making dinner and needed an onion, so down to cold storage I went. When I reached for an onion, I also heard a splash and got a soaker. UGH. Water in our cold stoarge area. 2 puddles to be exact.
I tried to decipher wher the water came from - not from above (which is good), but apparently down the wall. We had some torrential downpours today in Toronto, so seeing as we haven't had this problem before we think it was a matter of too much rain in a short time. Regarless, it will require some sleuthing and some repairing.
Think dry thoughts for me please??
The irony in this whole story is that I thought someone stole my rainboots at the gym tonight. I know it sounds crazy, but it's this weird fear that I have that someone will walk off with my shoes. So, I'm changing after my workout and my rainboots are no where to be found...I search all the empty lockers, under all the benches, etc. etc...then I go to the front desk to report my missing boots, and the girl asks me if I checked the change room. Umm...yes, of course I did. So, I make my way back to the change room and on the way in I find them (hallelujah!) - in the very front sub-section of the change room to the side of a bench. Apparently the cleaners move them (to the other end of the change room) if they are a tripping hazard in another area. What?
Turns out I didn't need the rainboots indoors in the end (thankfully). With all the rain we had I am happy to have them back, I just hope hope hope that they will never become my indoor shoes!
Today I'm featuring a project we actually completed some time ago. I'm not sure why it hasn't made it to the blog yet but better late than never!
We knew we wanted to convert a coffee table to a bench of the end of our bed, but it took us quite a while to find a suitable table. We were looking for something that would be the right height for a bench, but more importantly a table that was wide enough to be proportionate to the bed.
I just loved the curve of the legs and the bottom of the table.
Then we really got to work...I sanded, primed, and painted the table with a semi-gloss white (sorry...no during photos). We decided we wanted to do a tufted bench, so we bought a button-coverer and the Mr. took hold of that task. We drilled holes in the table top where we wanted the buttons, then used spray adhesive to put the foam on. We wrapped the batting and foam in the fabric and stapled the fabric to the underside of the table top.
It's hard to see tufting with the pattern in these picture but we're happy with how it turned out. Next we have our side table project (it's been too cold to strip the paint in the garage!), and some lamp spray painting to do!
I came across this house featured on Design*Sponge - it's an older post but I spent some long overdue time on that site this weekend. I love the sneak peaks and before and afters!
Here are some great inspiration pics for this long weekend, or for any spring decor projects you have in mind! Happy Easter and Happy Passover.
I managed to track down a great antique map while on my trip at a random outdoor market in Antwerp (see my original post on maps in decor here). I asked for a discount because it was ripped in a few spots...the guy looked at me like I was a mad-woman and told me that it's a 100 year old map, it's not going to be perfect. Too funny. So I bought it. It fits perfectly in the frame we had and is antique-y sepia tones. I'm not sure if I would prefer black and white, but for now I'll take it!
When we were roaming around Antwerp, Belgium we came across a gem of an antique shop. They had loads of solid wood goods, chairs in particular. Seeing as we could use a few extra dining chairs for when we have larger dinner parties we wish we could have easily brought some home with us! They had heaps of other unique finds, at pretty reasonable prices. We went to a number of other antique and interior shops but I didn't go photo crazy because I was too relaxed enjoying the holiday!
Chairs, chairs and more chairs!
These are a few photos of a mall floor. Yes, herringbone hardwood much like my Hardwood Heaven post, in a MALL. Leave it to the europeans to make it classy all the way.
Here are some more photos of our lovely trip to France and Belgium! We had a great time - hard to believe we've only been back for a week!
This was the courtyard of our Paris apartment - don't you just love it?
Wouldn't you love to live in a place with an entrance like this? Paris is full of hidden gems where you look at this and when the door opens it leads to a beautiful courtyard.
These tiled roofs are famous in the Dijon area - great way to add some visual interest in town!
One of the best things about our trip was enjoying and experiencing an early spring – it was everywhere! By the end of our trip the tulips were in FULL bloom and almost finished in Paris. We enjoyed some lovely sunny afternoons in the French countryside and in Paris itself. And, I just noticed yesterday – crocuses blooming in my garden! I actually ran out to the backyard to make sure they were there and it wasn't a figment of my imagination via the kitchen window. The rest of the garden needs a big clean up (read: looks horrible after the winter), but those crocuses are inspiring me. I also saw my first robin of the year today - so exciting.
ahhh....there were so many people lounging around the grass this day - it was our last full day in Paris and was absolutely gorgeous. We did as the Parisians did and picnic'd in the park!
We returned home last night from a 2-week vacation (read: bliss). We went to France and Belgium and it was lovely! We had dry weather, and the last week was sunny and over 20 C pretty much every day...gorgeous! Struggling through the back-to-work-jet-lag-blues today but we'll be back to 100% before you know it. The work day today went surprisingly fast, but we will see what tomorrow brings. I haven't had a chance to upload any photos yet but we did come across some good inspiration while away (including herringbone patterned wood floors pretty much everywhere, and a map for our living room - see original post here).
It's April now...full fledged spring must be around the corner!
I love the combination of these pieces.
Kingston Road Dress - picnic anyone?
I love the look of a gauzy white shirt on a hot day.


"With the current political situations around the world, music has the opportunity to help with the difficult questions, to create communication in a world where language divides too many, to smooth over the fractures in society, and realign the increasingly polarized audience."
Concert Artists Guild is delighted to announce the appointment of pianist Tanya Bannister as President of CAG effective July 1, 2018. She will succeed Richard S. Weinert who is stepping down on June 30 after 18 years.
Tanya is like family to CAG, having won CAG's competition in 2003. In addition to an active performing career, she has developed an interest in institution building in the arts over many years, principally through her work as Artistic Director of Alpenkammermusik, an annual chamber music festival in Austria, and as a founder of RoadMaps, an artistic, humanitarian and cultural venture. She has also been a Board member of CAG since 2015 and has participated actively in numerous CAG events in recent years.
Born in Hong Kong, Ms. Bannister holds degrees from the Royal Academy of Music in London, Yale University, where she studied with Claude Frank, and New York's Mannes School of Music, where she received an Artist Diploma as one of a handful of pianists selected to study with Richard Goode. In addition to mastering the traditional repertoire, she has a deep affinity for contemporary music and has premiered numerous works written for her, including three commissioned by CAG. She has released several CDs, including a CAG release of piano concerti of Mozart, Chopin and Schubert arranged with string quintet, which was selected for special mention by the New York Times.
Founded in 1951, CAG has helped more than 500 young musicians launch concert careers. Winners of CAG's annual competition receive comprehensive management support, including a debut recital on the CAG Presents Series at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, concert bookings, opportunities through the CAG Commissioning Program and CAG Records label, marketing, publicity and mentorship. Notable alumni artists include violinists Jennifer Koh, Joseph Lin (Juilliard Quartet) and Eugene Drucker (Emerson Quartet); pianists Barry Douglas, Michael Brown and Daniel Hsu; clarinetists David Shifrin and David Krakauer; flutists Carol Wincenc, Marina Piccinini and MacArthur Fellow Claire Chase; groundbreaking ensembles Imani Winds, the Brasil Guitar Duo and Sybarite5; and Grammy-winning ensembles Pacifica and Parker String Quartets, Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and MacArthur recipient Eighth Blackbird.
"What happens when you turn a piano concerto into chamber music, with one player per part? The pianist Tanya Bannister, joined by a fine complement of string players, puts three works to the test: Mozart's Concerto No. 14 in E-flat, Chopin's Concerto No. 2 in F minor and Schubert's Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F. It's perhaps no surprise that the Mozart and Schubert sparkle as chamber music, but for me it was a revelation to hear Chopin's lines rendered with such filigree clarity."
Roadmaps festival had its inaugural year with a spotlight on Syria. Tanya played the NY premiere of Kareem Roustom's 'Aleppo Songs' as well as collaborating and organizing this special humanitarian and artistic series of events.

Aleksandrs Grīns (pravé jméno Jēkabs Grīns, 15. srpna 1895 – 25. prosince 1941 Astrachaň) byl lotyšský spisovatel, překladatel a důstojník lotyšských ozbrojených sil.

Životopis
Alexandrs Grīns se narodil 15. srpna 1895 v rodině sedláka v usedlosti "Ziedi" (v obci Birži, nyní Kalni, okres Jaunjelgava). Navštěvoval základní školu v Muižgale, poté absolvoval obchodní školu ve městě Jēkabpils. Grīns měl v plánu studovat medicínu na univerzitě v Tartu, ale kvůli vypuknutí první světové války místo toho začal studovat vojenskou školu v Moskvě. Po několika měsících výcviku byl Grīns povýšen a vyslán na frontu. Během bitvy u Smārde a Olaine se rozhodl změnit si jméno z Jēkaba na Alexandrse.

Během bojů v roce 1917 byl Grīns vážně zraněn a následně v září, po německém útoku na Rigu, byl evakuován do Petrohradu. Po rozpuštění Lotyšského střeleckého sboru, 6. dubna 1918, byl Grīns demobilizován z armády a vrátil se do svého rodného domu, který byl ale zničen. Odešel tedy na studia medicíny na Tartuskou univerzitu, ale na začátku roku 1919 byl opět mobilizován do sovětské lotyšské armády. Při ústupu sovětské armády u Bausky dezertoval a přidal se k vojsku proněmecké prozatímní lotyšské Niedrovy vlády, dostal se do Balodisovy brigády, se kterou dorazil do Rigy. Na podzim roku 1919 pokračoval ve studiu medicíny na Lotyšské univerzitě.

Od roku 1920 pracoval jako novinář pro Latvijas Kareivis, Latvis a Brīvā Zeme. V té době také začal psát historické romány. V roce 1939 pokračoval ve službě v lotyšské armádě, po okupaci Lotyšska v roce 1940 byl poslán do litenického tábora, kde byl 14. června 1941 zatčen. Následně byl převezen do Rigy a vyslýchán v noci z 24. na 25. června. Poté byl deportován do Ruska, kde byl odsouzen k smrti a zastřelen ve věznici.
