The Golden Braid Model of IoT
By: Petter Graff, CTO –
A better model for organizing compute nodes and logic for IoT solutions
Edge, Mist, Fog, Cloud, etc. In the IoT world, we seem obsessed with the need to name the layer in which software runs. The most common definitions are:
Edge compute (or sometimes called Mist compute) is where our computers meet the sensors.
Fog compute is some intermediate layer between the edge computers and their final destination.
Cloud compute represents software running in some data center (either on-premise or at some compute provider such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc.).
Although this model can be useful as an abstract reference layer, I find the naming convention too limiting for practical use. I have two observations that may help illustrate the problem:
In some of our use cases, nodes can play the role of edge and fog simultaneously. For example: say we have a compute node installed in a base station. This node may be a child node of some compute node running in our data center and also play the role of a parent node of some computers running in vehicles in the field…. "Ah," you may say, "that is a Fog node!" OK, but it also is connected to a set of sensors in the base station, playing the role of edge as well.
Sometimes I have more than 3 layers. What do I call the layers now? Last week, I helped a customer that had identified no less than 12 layers from the sensors to the top level compute model. Also, various layers along the way had some degree of direct sensor output.
I vote we stop using this limited nomenclature or at least avoid asking questions like "is this an edge node, a fog node, or a cloud node?"
You may ask, what do we do instead?
At Pratexo, we don't mind talking about layers, and every use case we have ever been involved with has layers. It is also often useful to use Edge/Fog/Cloud etc., to help convey some architectures. If the architecture has exactly 3 layers, that is. However, for each use case, naming the layers based on dimensions understood by the domain experts is most often more useful.
For example, we have a vehicle tracking system where we have installed a compute unit in a car that calculates things like fuel consumption, speed, direction, driver behavior, etc. We have a set of software running in some 5G base stations that processes the vehicle information and control traffic patterns for the concerned area. We also have a set of compute units installed in the control center of the city that dispatches resources to accident sites, control city traffic, etc. Finally we also have a statewide control system running in some statewide algorithms to calculate traffic and dispatch resources based on weather or other conditions.
Now we need to name 4 layers. We could say that the vehicles are edge, the base station mist, the on-premise compute fog and the statewide compute cloud. It works, but doesn't seem very meaningful to me.
Here is one possibility for better naming based on where the software runs:
Using the physical location of the compute:
Vehicle layer
Base station layer
On-premise layer
AWS/GCP/Azure/… layer
I could also imagine talking about functions. In this case, the layers would have been organized the same way.
Using functions:
Local district layer
City layer
State layer
Although we ended up with the same layering, that is not always the case. Sometimes organizing physical locations and logical behavior may end up with very different layering. For example, say we deploy an AI model running in Apache Spark to calculate optimal routing behavior for the city. We may have compute nodes running in the base stations acting as Spark Worker Nodes and the parent node running on-premise (this would make a lot of sense as it would minimize the need for data shuffling).
I can think of a parallel from another world. OMG organized their model models/languages into various layers. They used the layers M0..3. The idea was not to say Meta-Meta model, so instead, you put a number after the M to say that M2 is a Meta-Meta model. M0 means it was the physical objects you modeled (Meta * 0, meaning no meta). A useful model for OMG as they could arrange information, e.g.:
M0: the objects we want to describe
M1: The class diagram defining the objects (the meta-model for the objects)
M2: The UML class model (the definition of the language making up class model, or the meta-meta model for the objects)
M3: Meta Object Facilities (MOF) the languages in which we described the class models (or the meta-meta-meta model).
There was no need for more layers as MOF could be described by itself.
Great that the world had a reference model, but then the problems arose. If you are building a UML case tool, your M0 objects are M1 objects in the reference model. If you are building a meta-case tool, then your M0 objects are M2 objects in the meta-model.
A reference model that worked out a lot better in practice was a model described in Douglas Hofstadter's book Gödel, Escher, Bach often called the Golden Braid model. Every object has a corresponding meta-object that describes it, every meta-object is an object. Voila, there you go. Flexible, practical, works in all cases; no need to name the layers.
I feel the same when specifying IoT solutions. I think more like this:
It would be great if we had a compute unit (hardware or software) in location X.
The compute unit X should connect coordinate sensors or other compute units, which means it has some "south-bound" traffic.
The compute unit X should take part of a bigger compute set which means it is controlled or has to convey information to a parent node. That is, it has to support "north-bound traffic".
We also have east and west for swarms and other collaborations, but I'll talk about this concept in a future blog post.
So now, we typically have a graph (most often a tree structure, but let's be more general and think of it as a graph. We often have the need to abstract this graph by organizing the hardware/software into layers to help organize or discuss the solution. Now let's name it:
Let's call it my Golden Braid model of IoT!

1 Conger Lane March 2016
This thatched 17th century house was listed in 1980 by the former Department of the Environment as Grade II, of special interest. Built on a three room plan the two left-hand rooms with their central chimney stack form the original part of the property and the right-hand room, which has a chimney stack to the rear, is probably an 18th century extension. This extension was in use as a separate cottage until the early 20th century. The property is timber framed with pebbledash cement render to the front elevation and old lime render to the left hand gable; to the rear the brick noggin (infill between the timbers) is painted white. Inside the house the spine beam in the left hand ground floor room is chamfered with a scrolled strip. Most of the joists in the central room have been cut out, leaving a "gallery" at first floor level. The left hand gable retains "fossilized" roof truss at a lower level than the present roof, suggesting that the building may have started as an open hall. The windows and doors are modern.
The Rating and Valuation Act 1925 specified that every building and piece of land in the country was to be assessed to determine its rateable value. When the house was valued in 1926 the two cottages had recently been combined and the right hand, smaller cottage was derelict. Now a stucco and thatch detached house it had two living rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor and three bedrooms with two further derelict bedrooms upstairs. Outside were two timber and thatch barns. The property was owned and occupied by H. W. Thomas. [DV1/C82/138]
Sale particulars from 2008 show that a two-storey extension had been added at the rear of the house. The accommodation now consisted of a galleried entrance hall, a sitting room, a dining room, a family room, a kitchen / breakfast room and a bathroom on the ground floor, with four bedrooms and a second bathroom upstairs, cellars and a double garage [Z449/2/44].

Airport security during civil unrest
Globally, we are witnessing a rise in civil disorder as countries struggle to recover from the pandemic. Discontent over the economy, the impacts of the war in Ukraine as well as certain political decisions have seen many take to the streets – and other public places – in protest. Europe has seen widespread strike action and demonstrations, with more planned in the coming months. In countries such as Sri Lanka and Pakistan, prolonged unrest where almost daily protests have occurred. In other countries, such as Kazakhstan, unrest was triggered by a political decision relating to fuel prices and escalated quickly, with widespread unrest impacting multiple cities and requiring security, and sometimes military, intervention.
Osprey's analysis team closely monitors global social unrest and delivers updates and analysis via the Osprey system as well as our alerts. The team focuses on highlighting the potential impacts of unrest on airport operations, but also examines the wider impacts on airlines operating in a country facing instability, such as potential effects on crewmembers overnighting in the country.
Osprey:Explore line graph showing social unrest between September 2019 and April 2022
Periods of unrest can see protesters block buildings, main roads and airports. While governments and local authorities do look to ensure that aviation facilities are kept secure during periods of unrest, a deterioration in the security environment can quickly overwhelm the authorities' ability to respond, putting airports, aircraft and crew in danger, whether they are airside or landside. For protesters, the disruption of air operations and the publicity that comes with it can be attractive in terms of raising the profile of a cause. However, the disruption of air transport can quickly isolate a government, and a prolonged failure to secure aviation facilities may undermine its legitimacy.
For operators, civil disorder – whether it is a small protest over a new runway, widespread demonstrations calling for economic reform or a violent internal conflict – poses an acute risk to flights, facilities and crew on the ground. Osprey data relating to Sri Lanka and Kazakhstan demonstrates that increases in instances of civil unrest can correspond to an increase in aviation security and safety incidents. Indeed, even small protests can impact access to and safety at airports. In some cases, violent unrest can result in a very real danger to the lives of crew, aircraft operations and reputations. Between December 2021 and June 2022, civil unrest in Sri Lanka and Kazakhstan posed significant threats to aviation.
During the unrest in Sri Lanka in the first half of 2022, the nation's main airport, Bandaranaike International Airport (VCBI/CMB), has seen noticeable disruption due to a variety of causes. As the unrest grew between late March and early April, protesters caused increasing disruption to the facility, with departing passengers being forced to walk to the airport as a result of the unrest. This saw additional security deployed to the Katunayake area of the city of Negombo, where Bandaranaike Airport is located. However, the disruption continued, with passengers being told to ensure they had passports and boarding passes in order to access the facility.
The peak of the activity occurred on 9 May, when social media reports highlighted that, despite the increased security, demonstrators were setting up illegal checkpoints on the main access roads to the airport. At these illegal checkpoints, protesters stopped vehicles and examined the passports of those looking to access the airport in order to prevent politicians escaping the country. Police, with the support of the army, were quick to disperse the checkpoints as a state of emergency was issued. However, despite the emergency declaration, in Nittambuwa, a town 35km (22 miles) northeast of the capital Colombo, a ruling party politician was beaten to death by an angry mob.
The security situation in Kazakhstan deteriorated rapidly during unrest in January. The unrest started in the western city of Atyrau and the wider Mangystau region on 2 January. These protests then spread across the country on 3 and 4 January before the Kazakh government announced, on 5 January, that protesters – which they termed "terrorists" – had seized Almaty Airport (UAAA/ALA), the country's busiest hub, claiming that they had stormed the facility, including the premises where small arms were kept.
Osprey:Explore graphs showing aviation safety, security and social unrest incidents in Kazakhstan between December 2021 and June 2022
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev added that five aircraft, including "foreign planes", which were parked at the installation were "hijacked", though no evidence of the seizure of aircraft has emerged since the unrest. Eyewitnesses also reported that a taxiing aircraft had to abort its take-off as a result of the airport being seized by protesters, with passengers forced to stay on the aircraft for 12 hours.
As a result of the storming of the facility, two soldiers were killed, and a number of small arms were taken by demonstrators. Operations at the airport were suspended, with inbound flights forced to divert. The airport remained closed until 14 January as Russian paratroopers were deployed to help "stabilise" the country at the request of the Kazakh president under the auspices of the regional military alliance, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
The risk to aviation from civil disorder cannot be understated. In the above cases, the unrest occurred in places where international flights were operating; Sri Lanka is an important tourist destination and Almaty Airport is one of the busiest airports in the former Soviet Union, with more than 6 million passengers a year. With many other countries facing similar unrest, monitoring the key trigger points for violent discontent and preparing contingency plans for flights and staff in the country is vital, regardless of destination.
With the war in Ukraine set to have a long-term impact globally, increases in food insecurity and energy/fuel prices are putting governments under pressure. As such, further unrest should be expected in 2022 as many countries face an acute cost-of-living crisis. Indeed, there are similarities between the civil unrest mentioned above and situations developing in countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan and Turkey. Osprey will continue to monitor these and provide our clients with in-depth analysis and advice.

The International Political Sociology of Security: Rethinking Theory and Practice (Hardback)
Trine Villumsen Berling (author)
This book builds a theoretical approach to the intractable problem of theory/practice in international relations (IR) and develops tools to study how theory and practice 'hang together' in international security.
Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's political sociology, the book argues that theory and practice take part in struggles over basic understandings (doxa) in international fields through what the book calls doxic battles. In these battles e.g. scientific facts, military hardware and social networks are mobilised as weapons in a fight for recognition. NATO's transformation and fight for survival and the rapidly growing number of think tanks in European security in the 1990s is taken as an example of these processes. The book studies a variety of sources such as funding to science programmes in Europe; think tanks and research centres in European security; NATO's relations with the EU, the WEU and the OSCE; and the mobilization of theory at crucial points in the transformation process.
Theory as Practice and Capital will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, security studies and critical theory.

Gina Tognoni out, Michelle Stafford back in as Phyllis on 'Young and the Restless': Fans 'stunned,' but Tognoni is 'grateful'
Daniel Montgomery	dan_something
CBS/ABC
Get ready for a major soap swap. It was recently reported that Michelle Stafford is leaving "General Hospital" and will be returning to the role that made her a star: Phyllis Summers on "The Young and the Restless." Unfortunately, that means the actress currently playing Phyllis, Gina Tognoni, is out. What do you think of the actress switch? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
Stafford played Phyllis on and off for almost 20 years, first joining the cast in 1994 and ultimately leaving in 2013. In that time she earned 10 Daytime Emmy nominations, winning Best Supporting Actress in 1997 and then Best Actress in 2004. After her exit from the CBS soap she joined the cast of "GH" as Nina Reeves in 2014, and she's been playing her ever since.

Tognoni took over as Phyllis in 2014, but by then she was already well known to daytime fans. Her breakthrough role was as Kelly Cramer on "One Life to Live," and then she won two Emmys for Best Supporting Actress (2006, 2008) for playing Dinah Marler on "Guiding Light." She had big shoes to fill on "Y&R," but her performance was well received by her industry peers: She was nominated for Best Actress in 2015 and won in 2017.
Tognoni commented on her impending exit on Instagram: "I am beyond grateful for the creative experience that 'The Young and the Restless' has given to me as well as the amazing relationships I made with the cast, crew/staff, producers, and writers. I love my Genoa City family." See what some of our forum posters are saying about the sudden switch and read Tognoni's complete Instagram post below before voting in our poll.
SEE'What the hell?' Soap fans react to 2019's 'crazy' Daytime Emmy nominations
FreemanGriffin: "I have been hoping for this all this time and it is finally happening! One of the things I have missed on 'Y&R' is the wonderful chemistry between Christian LeBlanc's Michael and his best gal pal Phyllis, but he only has chemistry with MS and not at all with GT. While others thought Gina was great in the role I found her to have a lack of humor in her portrayal."
Sean Phillips: "I can really go for this. Nina is really an unneeded character on 'GH' … The actress deserves better."
linecelts: "I was stunned by this. I was so used to Gina T. Part of me is NOT happy about this."
EmmyLoser: "This is wonderful news for Stafford and for 'Y&R.' It never felt like Gina Tognoni was playing the same character that Stafford did, in so many ways, and it'll be great for the show to have that character back. I was at the point where I didn't think this would ever happen."
Boidiva02: "It does seem like a bit of a no-brainer for Michelle to return to the role she is so iconic for and that made her a star, and I'm sure we all knew it would happen at some point."

Sin is the transgression of God's law-the falling short or missing the mark of the character of Jesus Christ. Although the penalty for sin is death in the lake of fire, all sin can be completely forgiven by God who desires that all men be saved. God forgives sin upon the repentance of the individual who accepts the shed blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ as payment in full for the penalty of his sins.
The most consistent and important theme of the New Testament concerning sin is that it will be gladly forgiven by God upon any human being's repentance, acceptance of the shed blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and baptism. Hence, sin need not have "dominion" over a Christian (Romans 6:12), nor must it "reign" over his life (Romans 6:12), nor block his entrance into the Kingdom of God!
Sin is "all unrighteousness" (1 John 5:17); "for sin is the transgression of the law" ( 1 John. 3:4, KJV or "lawlessness," RSV). Sin, in fact, cannot be imputed when there is no law (Romans 5:13), "where there is no law, there is no transgression" (Romans 4:15).
The seventh chapter of Romans deals with the relationship between sin and law. Paul wrote, "If it had not been for the law, I should not have known sin" (Romans 7:7). Using the tenth commandment as his example, Paul continued, "I should not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, 'You shall not covet'." Paul explained that sin is made obvious because the law condemns it. "For sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me" (v. 11).
But this in no way maligns the law as some would quickly and erroneously conclude. Paul immediately thwarted this false concept by writing, "So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good. Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure" (verses 12-13).
Sin is more than the breaking of one of the Ten Commandments in an outward, physical manner. Christ amplified the law of God to include the spirit and intent of the law. Likewise, this amplified the meaning of sin to include the breaking of the spirit or intent of the law through one's actions or attitudes. For example, the New Testament expands the law so that looking upon a woman to lust after her is the moral equivalent of adultery and thereby sinful; so that hating one's brother is the moral equivalent of murder and sinful. Thus one appearing outwardly righteous may inwardly harbor all sorts of evil.
Such external appearances of righteousness can often lead to self-righteousness, perhaps the most insidious of sins since it is so difficult for the person himself to comprehend since he "knows" that he hasn't done anything wrong. Christ spoke pointedly against this type of hypocrisy which is common to men.
Paul understood the universal power of sin. It permeates every nation, every race, every citizen of planet earth. "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands, no one seeks for God" (Romans 3:10-11; Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3); "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Sin envelops every human life. On the one hand; sin includes much more than just our occasional wicked actions. On the other hand, true sinlessness is more, much more, than just the outward adherence to any set of behavioral regulations and/or religious rituals. Paul saw this clearly in his own life, "For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do . . . . For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members" (Romans 7:19, 22, 23). All is not hopeless, indeed the recognition of the full reality of the almost omnipresent problem of sin in one's life is the first step toward-indeed it's the major part of-the solution to the problem. "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death" (Romans 7:24-8:2).
In addition to being the breaking of God's law, sin is also the result of falling short of God's way of life. The two concepts overlap greatly, but stress different approaches. There are two basic ways of life, one of "giving" and the other of "getting." God's way is the giving way; that of outgoing concern for and understanding of others; it is the way of love which is God's primary characteristic. Man's way is the way of "get"; of vanity, jealousy, lust and greed; it is the way of satisfying his own desires without care or concern of others. God defines His way by His law. When man breaks that law and thereby sins, he falls short of God's perfect way.
James referred to sins of omission when he wrote, "Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is a sin" (James 4:17). Sin, therefore, is expanded beyond its traditional (albeit fully valid) "thou shall not" boundaries. Not doing wrong is no longer sufficient to keep one from sinning. Affirmative positive action is obligatory for an individual to do in certain situations or sin will result. If the person does not do what he knows is right to do (for whatever reason, e.g. laziness, inconvenience, etc.), then that is just as much a sin as the direct breaking of any of God's law. Not helping the poor, for example, when one is able (either by giving of one's time or his resources) is a sin; not going out of your way to sacrifice and show outgoing concern for one's parents, children, spouse, relatives, friends, strangers or enemies may violate James 4:17 and become a sin if one knows that it would have been proper to do, but yet neglectfully did not do it.
Although sin and the breaking of God's holy way of life ultimately originates in the mind, mere temptation to sin is not sin, however strong the temptation may be. Christ was tempted by Satan in all points and in every respect but never sinned (cf. Matthew 4:1; Hebrews 4:15). No temptation should make a Christian feel guilty; temptations are normal, but they must be instantly resisted because the line between temptation and sin may become fine indeed. James expressed it this way: "But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is full grown brings forth death" (James 1:14-15). As this verse and others point out, the ultimate penalty for all sin is the second death in the lake of fire (Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:14-15 ).
Satan likewise introduced sin to mankind through Adam and Eve. Although created in moral and spiritual neutrality, Adam and his wife were deceived by Satan into disobeying God's command that they must not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In turn all since Adam and Eve (except Jesus) have sinned and themselves incurred the death penalty for their own sins. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin: and so death passed upon all man, for that all have sinned..." (Romans 5:12).
Sin can be either by omission or commission, individual or national, affecting others or affecting only the self. But in the final analysis, all sin is against God, because God is the author of the law against which man transgresses (Psalms 51:4). While the types of sin are as numerous and varied as human beings, the effects of sin are direct and specific. As explained, the final penalty for all sin is death in the lake of fire. But sin has other effects.
Sin makes people miserable; it ruins their lives and their families; it maims, devastates and kills; it is the cause of all human misery and suffering. This is why God hates sin so much-not because of what sin does to God, but because of what sin does to sinners whom God loves. Furthermore, sin perverts the mind; it can change the values of the sinner, his point of view and outlook, and make him rationalize that he is doing right when he is actually doing wrong. Sin blinds and deceives the sinner by causing a veil to fall over his eyes so that he cannot understand the reality of God's truth as expressed in the Bible. More importantly, it cuts one off from God. "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear" (Isaiah 59:1-2).
Sin is the absolute antithesis of God, the opposite of everything He represents and for which He stands. Thus the sinner can never be given eternal life as a member of God's family until all sin has been wiped away from his life-until it has been repented of and forgiven by God. This forgiveness is available only through the sacrifice of Christ upon repentance (Acts 2:38). But it is freely and fully given to all who ask. There is no sin that God won't forgive, if the sinner is truly repentant.
Repentance is a gift from God. It comes when God opens one's eyes to recognize his own sinfulness, and to see that his life has been a constant journey of self-centered vanity in defiance of God. Once one has acknowledged the reality of his sins, and has come to the heartfelt determination to change to a new life with Christ's help, he can be baptized and receive total forgiveness for his sins. But repentance is not a one-time thing. Rather, one must repent of additional sins as he becomes aware of them; the now converted Christian must confess them before God on a daily basis.
It is crucial that Christians deeply realize that God does not forgive sin begrudgingly. He is quick to forgive lovingly and mercifully any repentant person of any and all sins, no matter what their magnitude, number or frequency may be-and then permanently block even the memory of those sins from his mind for eternity. God says he "hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust" (Psalms 103:10-14).
One with God's Spirit is under no "condemnation" whatsoever in spite of the fact that he must still wrestle, against sin and may on occasion succumb to sin (cf. Romans 7; 8:1). Such a converted person is not counted as a "sinner" although he may indeed sin out of weakness. He is rather looked upon by God as "holy" (Colossians 3:12) because God imputes His righteousness to him through faith (Romans 4). Only one who has had the burden of the penalty of sin completely lifted from his shoulders and has experienced the deep exhilaration of knowing that his every sin has been totally forgiven and forgotten by God can fully appreciate David's statement, "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin" (Romans 4:7-8; Psalms 32:1-2). Such a person has been given the "joy and gladness" which comes from having peace with God (Psalms 51:8). A forgiven Christian knows he need not feel hopeless if he sins in weakness, because God looks upon the heart (1 Sam. 16:7). He realizes that God hates sin but loves the sinners enough to have sent His only Son as their Savior. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John. 3:16).
God can appreciate our human frailty because Jesus Christ, our mediator and intercessor, is always at His right hand. To Jesus, sin is not some theoretical theological concept; for He experienced the full force of temptation in all points of human susceptibility (Hebrews 4:15). He also experienced the full force of the penalty of sin. Though he never sinned, Jesus can well remember the enormity of the incessant battle, constantly resisting Satan's wiles and ceaselessly fighting his own human nature. Jesus will never condone sin; but He will understand it, he will never condemn the person for it, and He will always be extremely desirous of asking God to forgive it.
God in His perfect wisdom knows that not all men will repent of their sins or accept the sacrifice of Christ. Some will absolutely decide, of their own free will and volition, while knowing better, never to obey God and never to repent. Hence, a person who has steeled and hardened his mind against repentance is a person who cannot be forgiven, not because God will not forgive him, but because the person himself does not want to be forgiven. This Sin, against the Holy Spirit, (which is the Agency by which God removes sin,) is called "unpardonable," not because God lacks the power to pardon it, but because the sinner has rejected God, and His Holy Spirit, and refuses to ask for pardon. Those who accused Jesus of performing miracles through the power of Satan were perilously close to that ultimate hardness of heart which will refuse to repent, and therefore refuses to ask God's pardon for sin. The lake of fire is the ultimate penalty for one who commits this unpardonable sin. But, the great God who created the universe will only destroy an individual for whom eternal life would become unending misery, the ultimate torture of terrible frustration.
Yet it must be emphasized and understood that anyone, at any time, can and will be able to repent of any sin when he sincerely desires to be forgiven and to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. This is God's will for all mankind-"Not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance" (2 Peter 3:9; cf 1 Timothy 2:4). Even Paul, as we saw, had his problems of not always living the way he should-of missing the mark-of not having the perfect attitude (Romans 7:15-23). Even he was influenced by Satan's attitudes and human covetousness. But he knew that Christ's sacrifice would forgive and cover all sin (Romans 7:25).
Thus, the unpardonable sin is not at all the fearsome weapon of a sadistic God who refuses to forgive a poor sinner who has made a few mistakes out of weakness. The opposite is the case. Anyone, at any time, can and will be able to repent of any and all sins simply by desiring to be forgiven and by accepting the blood of Christ as payment in full for the penalty of those sins. "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins" (Hebrews 9:22). It is only in Jesus Christ that "we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which he lavished upon us" (Ephesians 1:7). Redemption is through "the precious blood of Christ" (1 Peter 1:18-19), with which converted Christians were (and are continuously being) washed from their sins (Revelation1:5-6). The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was "for all time a single sacrifice for sins" (Hebrews 10:12) because His life, as Creator of everything (Colossians 1:16), was more important than all other lives put together.
In connection with the topic of sin, many skeptics and sincere believers alike through the centuries have wondered why God allows sin to even exist: "If God is both all good and all powerful," they ask, "why does He allow such terrible evils on earth?" The answer is rooted more in the biblically stated purpose of human life than in the philosophically structured arguments of intellectual tradition.
God is, through man, reproducing Himself. In order to enable man to build righteous, character, God created his mind with free moral agency. This means that human beings have been given the right and capacity to make their own choices and to guide their own actions, thoughts, and lives. Therefore, in effect, God has given man the right and the capacity to do evil. Yet even this accomplishes God's purpose. For in allowing man to commit evil, God enables man also to learn a great lesson from the experience of the evil: that disobedience to God's ways, laws and principles will produce horrendous results. Once man has thoroughly and completely learned this hard, painful lesson of history-that disobedience of God produces destruction and death-he will never make the same fatal mistake Satan did; he will never rebel against God, because he knows such rebellion will produce only corruption and calamity.
While we need to deeply recognize the presence of sin in our lives as highlighted by God's law, we need to forgive and forget sin, just as God does (Psalms 103:12). This applies to both our own sins and the sins of others. One of the most common problems for true Christians, having been trained in, and imprinted by, puritanically based Western culture, is the continuing guilt complex over past sins ever after they are fully repented of and buried with Christ. As far as God is concerned, He sees no reason why the repentant person should feel guilty since He Himself will not even remember their sins. Christians, therefore, should grow toward having this same attitude regarding their own sins and (equally important) the sins of others. Once forgiven, all sins should be forgotten.
Certainly sin affects us all because all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). But sin-however heinous and antithetical to God's way-has become an intimate part of God's plan of reproducing Himself through mankind. God's forgiveness-the greatest expression of His total loving kindness and mercy-is the perfect antidote that completely nullifies and makes void Satan's efforts at turning man from his Creator.

I wore this outfit to my best friend's baby shower the other weekend. I always like to wear the appropriate gender color to a shower to add to the decor. Just kidding, but it is fun to see a room full of blue if it's a boy or vice-versa if it's a girl. I ran my outfit choice by my bestie first because, knowing us, we'd show up in the same thing. Luckily, she was wearing white, so I was ok. I have had this dress in my closet for a while, but hadn't had a chance to wear it. Unfortunately, it's sold out now, but there are similar versions available online. I love lace in any color, but especially a pastel!

I got nothing today – everything is not-quite-finished. My Bloomin' Feet socks are almost done, I tried plying from a center pull ball and wound up with a tangled mess and we are Dale is in the midst of a major closet overhaul. And, it's still raining. And gray. Blech.
So, I'll do what knitbloggers everywhere do when there's nothing to talk about. I'll show you a picture of Mason the Wonder Cat.
Even he looks unimpressed. It's boring as hell around here, I tell you.
Plying from a center pull ball didn't work out very well for me either.
I'm with the cat on this one. Lay down in a comfy spot, stretch out, and take a nap till the sun comes back.
Pretty kitty. We've been pretty wet here too. Although, I am glad it wasn't as bad as they predicted. Stay dry and knit on.
The sun is supposed to start shining by the weekend ….
It's boring around here too, and I have no cat to photograph.
I thought he looked pissed (as in "why are you bothering me") rather than unimpressed. Cat pics are a great backup plan.
You've always got the Red Sox ;.) Want to try my tangled mess of Euro Flax Linen that I tried to wind- looks like a bad pile of mint green spaghetti!
Boring is good. Mason is so cute!
I think this week, boring is the way to be.
"boring" seems to be going around~ I wonder if it's an epidemic? It's definitely hit the west coast as well. Give Mason a tickle under the chin,he's a cutie.
Mason looks annoyed that you disturbed him 🙂 He's definitely a cute kitty!
Mason's got the right idea….let's just sleep thru all this rain.
Spring will stomp in any minute now, and change your attitude… I am sure after this last round of storms it will be a sudden and welcome change.
I read somewhere that plying from a center pull ball is easier if you let the singles relax for awhile on the bobbin. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet!
I've done the plying from a center pull ball thing twice recently. The first time it tangled so bad I threw it away (it was just some leftover singles), the second worked out just fine. I think I kept my finger in the center and that helped, but maybe that's just me looking for an answer.
Sometimes, boring is good. I do hope your weather clears up soon, though. It's time for spring in the Northeast!
Yup, toward the end hold the ball in your fiber hand with your thumb through the hole. You can control the feed and avoid tangles at the same time.
I love Mason's face. He looks vaguely offended and confused at the same time.
Boring is better than the wrong kind of excitement.
Do what I do – take an extended blog break!! Oh, but I'd miss you too much so really, please don't.
Hey, you know? Sometimes, boring is good.
Damn but cats are good at conveying absolute contempt. I want to be a cat in my next life.
Hmmm…maybe you should put something new on one of your many spinning wheels?
I'm sorry about all the grey skies and rain. I'd mention something about April showers but that'd be too cruel. I'll try and send some sunniness your way (not like there's much of that here, either).
I LOVE the beautifulness that is Mason!
What a handsome Siamese cat! I need a cat.
I could use a day of boring around here to get some stuff done so send boring on down!
Mason is just so handsome, I love his feet!
Yeah, but yesterday was so cool!
Mason is so pretty! Or should I say "handsome".
Well, of course he looks unimpressed. Cats have three core skills: looking unimpressed, sitting on your lap while you're trying to knit, and finding the most rare and expensive ball of yarn you have and unwinding it all over the house.
Mason is a magnificent Meezer. Greetings to him from Minky (chocolate point), Victoria (Torie the Tortie), and Casper (flame point), my 3 Texas Siamese Rescue Meezers.
How nice of Mason to fill-in on a quiet day.

Boy's wish comes true
Lisa Simpson

Owen Ross made one big wish as he battled cancer — he wanted to see where his dad grew up.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation made his dream come true and brought the teenager, his younger brother Colin, 11, his mother Nicole and dad Cameron to Bermuda for a weeklong holiday.
"My dad grew up here and went to high school here," Owen, 13, told The Royal Gazette. "He would always talk about Bermuda and talk about it and talk about it.
"It sounded really cool. I wanted to go somewhere tropical because we live in a cold place. I wanted to snorkel and see all the fish."
The family, from 108 Mile Ranch in British Columbia, Canada, arrived in Bermuda on Sunday and are staying at The Fairmont Southampton; they have already been taking advantage of the snorkelling opportunities.
"We saw barracudas and really big fish, such as giant parrot fish," Owen said.
"We're just going to be snorkelling every day around either here or going to Tobacco Bay or something like that."
Owen had blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, a rare, clinically aggressive hematologic malignancy, diagnosed on August 7 last year. He had started to feel unwell while on holiday and his parents took him for blood tests. They came back abnormal and the family was referred to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
"They kept saying 'it looks like leukaemia, but not really'," Mrs Ross said. "There's never been a child in Canada that has had it, ever.
"You don't believe it. And then to hear that it was so rare and that they'd never had a case in Canada — that was the worst."
Mr Ross added: "We were just going day to day, hour to hour. The type of cancer he had usually presents in skin lesions and it didn't with him, and it doesn't present in spinal fluid and it did with him. He's very unique.
"The silver lining to that was our oncologist was dealing with some of the best oncologists in the world on a weekly basis to discuss his case."
Mrs Ross added: "It was pretty tough. He was quite far gone. But we're so lucky that leukaemia can be treated, and his type of leukaemia can be treated just with a daily chemo as a walk-in clinic thing."
Owen and his mother stayed at the Ronald McDonald House next to the BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver while he received chemotherapy treatments up to five times a week. He also had to undergo cranial radiation therapy in June.
"He did remarkably well," Mrs Ross said. "He didn't even lose his hair until June."
She added that her son is now cancer-free, with no evidence of leukaemia cells in his spinal fluid or blood. "The doctors are amazing these days. We were diagnosed August 7, 32 days later he was in remission."
But he has to continue chemotherapy treatments for three years to ensure it stays away. He has to take two different chemo pills every day and once a month he has to get chemo at his local hospital.
"But every three months, I go to Vancouver and get chemo in my spine," he added.
It was the hospital in Vancouver that referred the family to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Mrs Ross said the thought of a trip to Bermuda kept them going throughout the treatment: "That's what kind of dangled as a carrot. We looked forward to it the whole year — we didn't think it would ever really happen. It's incredible; any child with a life-threatening disease gets to make a wish. We couldn't believe it."
Mr Ross, who graduated from Mount Saint Agnes Academy in 1985, explained that his son has always wanted to be a marine biologist: "That was one of his dreams, that's why I told him about all the fish here."
A keen fisherman, Owen said he is looking forward to going fishing on a boat the most, although this trip still has to be organised. Colin, meanwhile, is looking forward to having a fun summer in Bermuda.
"I really like it," he said of the island. "I'm just looking forward to having fun this summer after all this."

He usado hashmap para ordenar la salida:
Set<String> duplicado = new HashSet<String>();
    Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>();

    HashMap<DatosAutores,String> uno= new HashMap<DatosAutores,String>();
    HashMap<DatosAutores,String> dos= new HashMap<DatosAutores,String>();

    for(DatosAutores aut: datosAutor){
        if (!set.add(aut.getIdAutor())) {
            duplicado.add(aut.getIdAutor());
            out.println("##"+aut.getIdAutor());
            out.println(aut.getNomAutor());
            out.println(aut.getCorreo());
            out.println(aut.getNombreArea()+" - "+ aut.getClaveArea());
            out.println(".."+aut.getTituloRevista()+" - " +aut.getClaveRevista()+"");
            uno.put(aut,aut.getIdAutor());

A: Una correcta elección de estructura de datos facilitará mucho tu trabajo.
Ahora tienes una clase DatosAutores que contiene un autor, un área y una revista. Y una lista en que se almacenan esos autores tal que así :
Lista
|-DatosAutores
|    |- "157"
|    |- "Joaquín  Ordóñez Sedeño"
|    |- "joaquin@me.com"
|    |- "Anuario Mexicano de Derecho Internacional"
|    |- "4027"
|    |-"Derecho"
|    \- "6"
|-DatosAutores
|    |- "157"
|    |- "Joaquín  Ordóñez Sedeño"
|    |- "joaquin@me.com"
|    |- "Revista Latinoamericana de Derecho Social"
|    |- "4296"
|    |- "Derecho"
|    \- "6"
.
.

Con esa estructura solo puedes almacenar un área y una revista en cada DatosAutores, lo que hace que tenga que repetirse el autor y las áreas múltiples veces.
Una estructura más apropiada sería la siguiente.
Datos :
|- autores : Map<String, DatosAutores>
  |- "157", DatosAutores
  |         |- "Joaquín  Ordóñez Sedeño"
  |         |- "joaquin@me.com"
  |         \- areas - Map<String, DatosAreas>
  |             \- "6", DatosAreas
  |                       |-"Derecho"
  |                       \- revistas - Map<String, String>
  |                          |- "4027", "Anuario Mexicano de Derecho Internacional"
  |                          \- "4296", "Revista Latinoamericana de Derecho Social"
  |
  |- "198", DatosAutores
  |         |- "Romeo  Rojas"
  .         .
  .         .

Con esa estructura solo has de almacenar cada autor una vez.
Y para cada autor solo has de almacenar cada una de las áreas en que tiene revistas una sola vez.
Datos contiene un Map usando como clave(key) la clave String clave del autor; y como valor(value) un objeto de clase DatosAutores.
DatosAutores contiene el nombre y el email; y un Map usando como clave(key) la clave de las areas y como valor(value) un objeto de clase DatosAreas.
Y Datos Areas contiene el nombre del área; y un Map usando como clave(key) la clave de la revista y como valor(value) el nombre de la revista.
El código para DatosAreas sería :
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class DatosAreas {
    private final String nombre;
    private final Map<String,String> revistas;

    public DatosAreas( String nombre)
    {
        if ( nombre==null )
            throw new IllegalArgumentException( "nombre debe ser no null");
        this.nombre = nombre;
        revistas = new HashMap<>();
    }

    public void añadeRevista( String nombre, String clave )
    {
        if ( nombre==null || clave==null )
            throw new IllegalArgumentException( "nombre y clave deben ser no null");
        revistas.put( clave, nombre);
    }

    public String toString( String clave )
    {
        StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
        res.append( "  ").append(nombre).append(" (area:").append(clave)
           .append(")").append(System.lineSeparator());
        for ( Map.Entry<String,String> r : revistas.entrySet() )
        {
            res.append("    ").append(r.getValue()).append(" (clave:")
               .append(r.getKey()).append(")").append(System.lineSeparator());
        }
        return res.toString();
    }
}

El constructor sencillamente asigna el nombre del áreas, crea un HashMap vacío y comprueba que el nombre no sea null.
añadeRevista comprueba que nombre y clave de revista no sean null. Y luego llama a put de HashMap para añadir la revista. Hashmap.put trata el caso de que añadamos la misma clave de revista dos veces. La segunda vez se tratará como una actualización, no se añade repetida la revista sino que se cambia el título al de la segunda llamada.
Y toString(String clave) devuelve una String con los datos del área y las revistas que en ella hay.
El código de DatosAutores sería :
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class DatosAutores {

    private final String nombre;
    private final String email;
    private final Map<String, DatosAreas> areas;

    public DatosAutores( String nombre, String email )
    {
        if ( nombre==null || email==null )
            throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Nombre y email han de ser no null");
        this.nombre = nombre;
        this.email = email;
        areas = new HashMap<>();
    }

    public void añadeRevista( String nombreArea, String claveArea,
            String nombreRevista, String claveRevista )
    {
        DatosAreas area;
        area = areas.get(claveArea);
        if ( area==null )
        {
            area = new DatosAreas(nombreArea);
            areas.put(claveArea, area);
        }
        area.añadeRevista(nombreRevista, claveRevista);
    }

    public String toString( String clave )
    {
        StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
        res.append(clave).append(System.lineSeparator());
        res.append(nombre).append(System.lineSeparator());
        res.append(email).append(System.lineSeparator());
        for ( Map.Entry<String,DatosAreas> a : areas.entrySet() )
        {
            res.append( a.getValue().toString( a.getKey() ));
        }
        res.append(System.lineSeparator());
        return res.toString();
    }
}

El constructor asigna nombre y email comprobando que no son null; y crea un HashMap nuevo.
añadeRevista comprueba si ya existe ese área en el Map de áreas del autor. Si no crea una nueva área. Y añade a ese área (la nueva o la que ya existía) la revista.
toString(String clave) genera una String con los datos del autor y los datos de cada áreas; los cuales obtiene llamando a toString de cáda área, que ya hemos definido antes.
Finalmente la clase Datos :
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.HashMap;
public class Datos {
    private final Map<String, DatosAutores> autores;
    public Datos()
    {
        autores = new HashMap<>();
    }

    void add( String claveAutor, String nombreAutor, String email,
            String nombreRevista, String claveRevista,
            String nombreArea, String claveArea)
    {
        DatosAutores dato = autores.get( claveAutor );
        if ( dato==null )
        {
            dato = new DatosAutores(nombreAutor, email);
            autores.put(claveAutor, dato);
        }
        dato.añadeRevista(nombreArea, claveArea, nombreRevista, claveRevista);
    }

    @Override
    public String toString()
    {
        StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
        for ( Map.Entry<String,DatosAutores> autor : autores.entrySet() )
        {
            res.append( autor.getValue().toString( autor.getKey() ));
        }
        return res.toString();
    }
}

El constructor simplemente crea un nuevo HashMap.
add comprueba si ya tenemos ese autor, si no lo crea y añade; y después añade la revista al autor.
toString llama al método toString de todos los autores y junta el resultado para tener una cadena con todos los autores, sus áreas y revistas.
Con esa estructura de datos el añadir e imprimir revistas organizadas se reduce a :
Datos datosAutor = new Datos();
datosAutor.add( "157", "Joaquín  Ordóñez Sedeño", "joaquin@me.com", "Anuario Mexicano de Derecho Internacional", "4027", "Derecho", "6");
datosAutor.add( "157", "Joaquín  Ordóñez Sedeño", "joaquin@me.com", "Revista Latinoamericana de Derecho Social", "4296", "Derecho", "6");
datosAutor.add( "193", "Carlos Arturo  Castro Castro", "carlos@usbmed.edu.co", "Palabra Clave (La Plata)", "3505", "Ciencias de la Información", "23");
datosAutor.add( "198", "Romeo  Rojas", "romeo.rojasm@uanl.edu.mx", "Colombia Forestal", "4239", "Agrociencias", "28");
datosAutor.add( "198", "Romeo  Rojas", "romeo.rojasm@uanl.edu.mx", "Facultad de Ingeniería", "4139", "Ingeniería", "38");
datosAutor.add( "198", "Romeo  Rojas", "romeo.rojasm@uanl.edu.mx", "Sociedad y mundo", "1211", "Sociologia", "10");
System.out.println( datosAutor );

Obteniendo como resultado :

La propia estructura de datos ya lo organiza todo. No es necesario un código de bucles comprobando si hay o no repeticiones y buscando datos dispersos.
Al tener una buena organización de datos la impresión resulta sencilla.

DALLAS — "This is Us" star Chrissy Metz has shared the powerful reason the forthcoming film "Breakthrough" will resonate with all audiences - and why she believes it's a "beautiful reminder" that God has a purpose and plan for each and everyone one of His children.
From "Miracles from Heaven" producer DeVon Franklin, "Breakthrough" tells the real-life miraculous story of a Missouri boy named John Smith who slipped deep into an icy lake in January 2015. After being declared dead for over an hour, Smith woke up after his mother prayed - and event doctors can only describe as a medical miracle.
Metz, best known for her role as Kate Pearson on the NBC hit series "This is Us," plays John's mother, Joyce.
In an exclusive interview with The Gospel Herald, Metz explained that while "Breakthrough" is an overtly Christian film, audiences of all backgrounds and beliefs will identify with the story.
"It's based on a true story," she said. "These are real people who are flawed and who have this uncertainty in their lives and what it is that they're supposed to be doing. But also because there is something very powerful about a community coming together and coming on the other side of a really traumatic life event and being better for it. And we all want that because we all can relate to that. We all lose loved ones, or we all go through pain and grief."
"Not only that, but family is so important and I think that just reaffirms that we are placed in each other's lives for many different reasons, regardless of how it all has sort of transpired," she added.
Hitting theaters just ahead of Easter, "Breakthrough" is a modern-day resurrection story. John, who was adopted from Guatemala, was hanging out with several friends at a local park when the ice on Lake Sainte Louise cracked, and the three friends plunged into the 40-degree water.
When Joyce got to the hospital, the medical team had been performing CPR for almost a half-hour with no success. Shortly before the accident, she had been participating in the Believing God Bible study by Beth Moore, which hinges on the statement that "I believe God is who He says He is, and I believe He can do what He says He can do."
Instead of mourning the loss of her son, Joyce prayed - and expressed a belief that God could raise her child from the dead, ignoring those who disagreed with her.
"I think that when it comes to a mother's love and this unconditional love for their child, there's no way to explain that depth," Metz told GH. "When you're really adamant about wanting something as Joyce wanted John to survive, it doesn't matter who's in the line of fire, so to speak."
"She was, of course, resilient, but she was not moving," she continued. "Nobody was going to move her at all. And then, her to come on the other side of it and just surrender and trust that whatever God had intended was going to be the right thing."
After her son's pulse returned, Joyce thought the worst was over - but doctors disagreed, telling her that her son would likely have severe brain damage.
"The doctor told me, 'Even if John lives, he'll be a vegetable. There's brain damage, and the only brain function is brain stem function and it's very rudimentary,'" Joyce told GH in a 2017 interview. "I told him, 'Do your best. God will do the rest, but I want no negatives to be spoken around him. When you are in the room, I only want him to hear positive things.'"
"Breakthrough" released its first trailer in December and has garnered over 100 million views. Metz told GH that the 20th Century Fox film is a "beautiful reminder" that God is sovereign over all aspects of life. She revealed that her own faith has helped carry her through "really difficult situations," from small incidents like avoiding crashes on the interstate to big, life-changing events.
"There are so many things that are working for our good that we don't even know about," she shared. "I think it's so beautiful because it's a film, but it's a true story. It's such a beautiful reminder of we don't always have the best idea. We don't always know what's best for us...but there's a plan and there's a purpose for all of our lives, every single one of us, whether we believe that or not."
"I hope," she added, "this film will inspire and remind people of that."
"Breakthrough" is directed by Roxann Dawson and hits theaters April 17, 2019. To learn more, visit breakthroughmovie.com.


Hard to choose just one right? I chose the one in the middle. Cecilia is her name and she hails from Horchow.
This chair told me that she is classy but don't take her too seriously, she likes to have fun. So I put her in a fun family room.
*The paint color is Tundra by Benjamin Moore 2133-70 A light gray that reads as a neutral putty color.
*I have always loved this bold Chiang Mai print from Schumacher. I used it loosely for color inspiration and picked up on the blues, greens and a bit of coral in the space.
*A Charles of London style sofa from Lee Industries in a lime green fabric.
*I love this set of nesting tables in an antique brass finish, topped with a fun owl lamp from West Elm.
*If I was a piece of furniture I might be this beautiful bombe chest from Crate and Barrel. Love those curves! I am using it as a side table. Perfect for stashing away odds and ends.
*I topped it off with this simple industrial looking lamp from Ikea.
*The floor lamp picks up on the other curves we have going on in this space. It's from World Market.
*The other pillows I picked for the space are the gray and ivory geometric (pricey but easy to DIY), A large scale coral ikat from Z Gallerie, and a velvet blue pillow from Crate and Barrel.
*Finally I would either find a vintage Federal Eagle Bullseye Convex mirror in wood or Syroco (check Ebay) mounted over the sofa with a gallery wall of black and white family photos (and a few graphic prints) in gold, silver and black and white wood frames.
Please go check out the other entries and have a fabulous Monday!
Thanks Anna. Loved your room too!
Great design Annie! I like how you pulled together a group of beautiful elements to create such a fun room. And of course I LOVE the chair!
It was really fun. I hope Sarah has more of these!
What a gorgeous design, Annie! I love that everything in your room is pretty and elegant, but pulled together in a way that seems truly fun and livable. Thanks for dropping by and commenting!
Thanks for stopping by Erin! Your room was really fun as well!
Love this room Annie! It is so fun to see the same chair in a totally different space! I love the spindle chair and green sofa!
Thanks Laura, I loved seeing everyone's take on the chairs too!
Hi, Annie!!! I'm so excited you came to the party...and with such a beautiful room!!! I'm happy that you picked the blue and white chair, and I love how much depth you were able to achieve here (with so many other colors and patterns and texture)...something I was having trouble doing with this chair and so switched to the green one! I really like how you layered the rugs. And a lime green sofa?! I never would have thought of that, its awesome, especially with those pillows. The gallery wall with mirror is stunning. I really love how you have such a wide variety of sources here, they are so beautifully put together to create a collected room. So glad you played along, thank you!!!
Thank you Sarah for putting together another Mood Board Monday! It was my first time participating and I loved it! You are too sweet in your compliments, thank you.
Hope you are recovering well, hope to see you in the blog world again soon!


David Winder ran the race for the Rossendale Trust in Sutton, Macclesfield.
A man with autism ran the Manchester 10k to raise money for the charity which helps him.
David Winder, who has austism and attends the Rossendale Trust in Sutton, has been running all his life. A symptom of his autism means he has lots of pent up energy so constantly moving makes him feel better. David does not communicate verbally and has limited use of signs and symbols but expresses himself through exercise.
So he decided to run the Manchester 10k to raise money for the trust.
David ran arm in arm with Jason Blythe, manager of Rossendale's Oakwood Day Service, speeding along faster than any of his runs in training, and was boosted by people lining the street shouting his name. He ran the entire race only stopping for water and finished in 1hr 7mins.
Sponsor him by texting DAVID to 70500 to give £5.
See a video of his run here.


Yes -- we're calling this the "perfect" tank & you'll want it in EVERY COLOR! This Tank is what we've been striving for! And it comes in 12 colors! Some of them very unique and fun like Coral & Iris! Form-fitting contour yet a great drape through the torso -- cut to lay just above your frame, not on it.
Cool-Factors are in the details!
~ 3" longer body than the average Tank for greater coverage!
New: "4-rth Made in California" patch on lower left side of the shirt front.
SIZING GUIDANCE: A size MEDIUM would be ideal on someone 5'9-6'2 in the 155 -180 lb range who is height/weight proportionate. Go one size UP for a more relaxed fit!
MODEL: 6'1, 177lbs. Size: M.
