Dr. Jack Vander Wal passed away on August 26, 2017. He was a charter member of Ring 211 — The June Horowitz/John deVries Magic Club in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He enjoyed magic and the many magic friendships he made over his life. He caught the "magic bug" around eight years old. His father came home with a magic trick from staying in a hotel in Holland, Michigan (His dad worked for the Heinz Company and sold soup to supermarkets. — Had to stay over one time because of gas rationing during WWII.) This may have been the one which caught his first interest. Later, magic tricks were brought home from Abbott's Magic and Manufacturing Company from his father. This lead to trips to Colon, Michigan. Percy Abbott, himself, taught my father, both his version of the Egg Bag and the Linking Rings (eight rings). My father then would attend the Abbott Magic Get Togethers. My father and mother's honeymoon was the Abbott Magic Get Together in 1958. He and she attended many. Then he took the family in 1983. He and I then went continuously since 1991. For a good many of those years up to my mom's passing in 2001, my younger brother and her would join us. Since 2007, my nephew who also caught the "magic bug," Jesse Shira, joined "Pa Pa Wizard" and me at the Get Togethers.
My dad met the Late Earl Ray Wilcox through his father (when his father later was in the restaurant business as well as Earl). This lead to joining the local magic club in 1969 and being part the club as it became a Ring. He held every office, except for Treasurer. He was the Ring President five times, was the Ring Scribe back in the early years, received the most awards presented by the Ring, offered many a time to perform at club meetings, for a long time was the Workshop Chairman, played the organ for all fourteen Ring 211's Annual Installation Banquet & Shows and the first few of Ring 211's Annual Hocus Pocus Parties. Dr. Jack performed an act on the cabaret show of the first twenty-two Annual Hocus Pocus Parties. He performed his close-up at each of the fourteen Annual Installation Banquet & Shows and strolling close-up at each of the past thirty Annual Hocus Pocus Parties. When the club held its board meetings at members' homes, he volunteered his home. Many great magi presented lectures for the club in his basement known as the "magic cellar" from the 1970s to the late 1990s. Since, the mid 1990s, he offered his back yard for the annual club picnics. He was also a member of the Society of American Magicians in the 1970s to the mid 1980s. He volunteered to sell ads in the S.A.M. 1983 Convention Program when the S.A.M. held their convention in Grand Rapids. He also was an honorary member of the club known as a "hall of famer." Just recently, in May, he was inducted into the Michigan Magic Day Hall of Fame at this year's Michigan Magic Day. He was an Order of Merlin Shield and held I.B.M. number 23507.
In the seventies his wife was his assistant and they performed Abbott Magic illusions such as the Temple of Benares and the Zig Zag Lady as part of his banquet show. This act was also featured on one or two of the Installation Banquet & Shows. In fact, he even was performing these two plus the Sword Basket with an assistant for a few Ring 211 events in the mid 2000s.
He was my main mentor in magic. I would not know any other magician nor even be part of this wonder art known as the performance art of magic, if it was not for him. I am very thankful. Thank you, Dad! He will miss the I.B.M. convention in 2018 when it comes to his home town . . . no, he will just have view from above! A Broken Wand Ceremony was presented by Gil Scott and Jeff Brodrick with the wand being painted and prepared by Bill and Julie Rasmussen.
Vander Wal, A. Jack. Andrew "Jack" Vander Wal, 82, of Jenison, MI, went to be with his Living Savior and reunite with his beloved wife on August 26, 2017. Jack was a faithfully devoted husband, father, and Christian who had many talents, a zest for life, and a propensity to make others laugh. Jack was born on September 3, 1934 in Grand Rapids, MI. He graduated from Grand Rapids Christian High School (1952), Calvin College (1956), and the University of Michigan School of Dentistry (1959). He married the love of his life, his "Continuous Joy," in 1958 and they had 5 children across 3 decades, or as he liked to say, "one a decade." Jack was passionate about and continuously pursued excellence in dentistry, magic, and accompaniment on the piano and organ in church every Sunday. Jack cherished his work as a dentist, practicing 55 years and never officially retiring but transitioning to part time on a mobile unit that served those in elder and foster care communities. Always learning, he took pride in offering specialized services beyond that of general dentistry. Perhaps what he enjoyed most though, were the friendships he made over the years with his assistants and office staff who he affectionately called his "office girls," relationships he continued up to his passing. As a young boy, Jack became interested in magic and was known to reward neighborhood kids with a magic trick if they could show they didn't have any cavities (after checking their teeth with his mother's knitting needles). When he was 12, Jack had his first paid show and has received numerous awards over the years, most recently being inducted into the Michigan Magic Day Hall of Fame. Jack was a founding member of Ring 211 of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and held various roles in the "magic club," still actively participating until his death. "Happy Jack," as his son Randy called him, made magic a family affair, taking pride in teaching this passion to Randy and grandsons Jesse and Joshua. Jack was equally passionate about playing music, a talent that also began at a young age and continued throughout his life. He began piano lessons when he was 9 and from junior high through college, played the drums in the school band. He had a long history of playing for church functions, weddings, and funerals, but was the most fulfilled on a weekly basis in worship with his church community playing either the piano or organ. Jack's commitment often included music at 3 Sunday services and he was well known for his thunderous rendition of "Onward Christian Soldiers" where it was common for fellow congregants to stop him after the service to offer their amazement. Family members are heartbroken to lose their "Jack" of all trades but are grateful for their time with him on earth, and are at peace that he is no longer in pain. Jack is preceded in death by his parents, Gerald and Evelyn, and his wife of 43 years, C.J. He is survived by his children Jamie (Jerry) Shira, Randy Vander Wal, Chellie (Karl) Schmitz, Bonnie (Karen) Vander Wal, & Jordie Vander Wal; grandchildren Jozie (Jay) Hayes, Gracey, Jesse, & Zion Shira; Joshua, Chaiah, Bekah, & Amira Schmitz. He is also survived by his sister Billie (Rudy) Prins and brother Jerry (Sue) Vander Wal, as well as nieces, nephews, and cousins. The family is looking forward to welcoming others to celebrate in Jack's memory on Thursday, August 31 from 2 – 5pm and 6 – 9pm, with a Broken Wand ceremony beginning at 8:30pm at Matthysse-Kuiper-DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW. Funeral service will be held on Friday, September 1 at 1pm with the family greeting visitors an hour before at New Community Church, 2340 Dean Lake Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49505. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ALS Association of West Michigan in honor of Jack's wife, C.J., who succumbed to the disease in 2001. Condolences may be sent online at www.mkdfuneralhome.com.

Sharks winger to miss Saturday's game vs….
Sharks winger to miss Saturday's game vs. Canucks and beyond
Jonny Brodzinski suffered upper body injury in Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets; Lukas Radil draws in vs. Vancouver Canucks

SAN JOSE — Winger Jonny Brodzinski will miss Saturday's game against the Vancouver Canucks and be out for at least the near future with a shoulder injury that he incurred the night before in the Sharks' game against the Winnipeg Jets.
Lukas Radil will draw back into the lineup Saturday after he was scratched for Friday's game, which the Sharks lost 3-2.
Brodzinski started Friday's game on the Sharks' fourth line with Barclay Goodrow and Noah Gregor. He assisted on Goodrow's second period goal for his first point with the Sharks, but played just 4 minutes and 30 seconds as he was bothered by the shoulder at various times during the game, coach Pete DeBoer said Friday night.
DeBoer said Saturday afternoon that Brodzinski's injury is considered "more than day to day, probably."
Brodzinski had just one shift in the third period and did not skate in the final 16 minutes and 42 seconds.
Brodzinski's shoulder is not the same one that was injured last season when he was with the Los Angeles Kings. Brodzinski needed shoulder surgery after he was injured in the preseason and missed the first four-plus months of the regular season. He finished the year with three points in 12 games for Los Angeles. The Sharks signed him to a one-year, two-way contract in July.

Radil, who does not have a point in eight games with the Sharks this season, will take Brodzinski's spot on the fourth line as the Sharks look to end a four-game losing streak. Radil has been a healthy scratch in five of the last seven games.
This is the Sharks' first meeting with the Canucks this season. San Jose won three of four games with Vancouver last season, including both meetings at SAP Center.
The Sharks have not lost at home to the Canucks since March 31, 2016, and have 12-1-1 overall record and a 8-0 mark at home against Vancouver since that game.
Aaron Dell starts vs. Canucks
Aaron Dell will start his fourth game of the season Saturday, looking to bounce back after he allowed four goals on 22 shots in the Sharks' 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 27.
Dell made 35 saves for the Sharks in their 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Oct. 24 at Bell Centre. He got the call again three days later, but the Senators scored four goals in the first two periods, all at even strength. Dell was pulled in favor of Martin Jones for the third period.
"He wasn't very good in Ottawa, but he wasn't alone there," DeBoer said.
Dell comes into Saturday with a 2-2 record with a 3.53 goals against average and .891 save percentage. He is 5-0-0 in his career against the Canucks with two shutouts and a .946 save percentage.The Canucks are starting Thatcher Demko in net. He is 3-1-0 so far this season with a .941 save percentage. In Vancouver's 4-2 win over San Jose on April 2 of last season, Denko made 33 saves.
Radim Simek update
Radim Simek will play for the Barracuda on Sunday in its game against Tucson at SAP Center and could be back with the Sharks soon after.
Simek played his first professional game since March on Wednesday in the Barracuda's 3-0 win over Bakersfield, but did not dress for Friday's game in Stockton, a 3-2 San Jose loss. DeBoer said the plan was to give Simek some time off after his first game, play him Sunday and "then we'll make some decisions on where he's at."
"I saw his shifts (against Bakersfield), I thought he played well," DeBoer said. "First game in a long time, but I'll go watch him (Sunday) and see how he looks live."
Simek suffered torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee March 12 in a game against the Winnipeg Jets. He had been skating with the Sharks on a regular basis before he was sent to the Barracuda on a conditioning assignment Monday.

Living at Poverty line brings understanding to Americorps VISTAs
On March 8, 2012, the Thayne Center for Service and Learning and the Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) Community Writing Center presented "Walking the Walk: Civic Engagement, Community Service, and Volunteerism through the Experiences of AmeriCorps VISTAs." AmeriCorps Volunteers In Service To America (VISTAs) talked about their experiences in AmeriCorps and how they related to the community that the VISTAs serve.
"VISTAs voluntarily experience living in poverty themselves," said Moderator Elisa Stone, associate director of the SLCC Community Writing Center.
VISTAs make about $850 per month before taxes, which is the income of someone at the federal poverty line.
"The last three years, I have taught my kids how to budget our money," says VISTA Treva Woody, who is a student at SLCC and a VISTA at the Thayne Center.
VISTA efforts focus on helping those who are below the poverty level.
"I think everyone should have an understanding," says VISTA Nancy Christensen, "of what it means to live at that level."
Poverty doesn't just affect people who fit a stereotype.
"We're all connected," says Christensen, "Any one of us could be one step away from poverty."
The VISTA panel encouraged people to get involved in their communities.

Or you just just post your link to where Madani said it and we can go and check it out for ourselves?
Or maybe you can't "because it goes against the grain of your narrative?"
Why should I do your work for you. He said it, I could care less if you guys believe it or not. The reason people remember it, as I said before, was that it seemed a positive thing that seat sold revenue could be that low in light of his almost total CFL trolling which was so blatantly obvious that the CFL PR guy actually called him out on it, an almost unprecedented thing for a pro league employee to do. Or is him being called out by the CFL PR guy something else not to believe?
Just read that the Argos attendance is based on scanned tickets (AIS) asses in seats and not tickets sold. Interesting. A proper (and truthful) rebuild is in the works.

Hey all, this may have been covered earlier but just wondering how viewers per game (particularly CFL) on TV, are measured?

Jay's get very good numbers in Alberta and BC, Saskatchewan as well has good Jay's TV numbers. Jay's are a true national brand, maybe are only in professional sports.

Look, as much as I like the CFL game - it's so bush league!
I mean come on, half the players are NFL rejects..
There are only 9 teams..
The fucked-up, crossover playoff thing..
It's fun, entertaining, but difficult to take seriously.
It's totally bush league.
But I have tickets!

I don't think I've ever heard the KHL or Swedish elite league or Swiss elite hockey league called bush, due to them having non NHL players, just different leagues offering different experiences, all very entertaining! I wonder if the fans in those respective countries bash their own league because it's not the NHL, or if that is just a Canadian thing to do?
Having a small league makes it better I think, not having to follow 30+ teams makes it easier to follow the league as a whole. I mean, the NHL used to have only 6 teams and I've never heard them be called bush!
I think the league shouldn't be separated in 2 divisions, rather one division with the top team from the east and top from the west having bye weeks in first round of playoffs.
Sometimes any league can be difficult to take serious. With arenas half full in Carolina or Phoenix, how can anyone in those markets take the league or the game serious.
I sometimes have a difficult time taking other sports leagues serious, based on salaries. For example, the NBA with people getting paid $40+ million a year to play a game which only lasts 48 minutes!! Plus all the timeouts and intentional fouls... I find it very difficult to take that serious... or soccer in general, players rolling on the field like they've just been shot!... or baseball with games taking 4+ hours...
Sometimes it is difficult to take the CFL serious too, with some of the crappy calls that are made, especially one that have no effect on the play itself whatsoever.
It's all personal preference really.
Sounds like the typical Canadian inferiority complex, which makes for a self-fulfilling prophesy.
Let's face it, if we don't support the CFL and its generally exciting brand of football, the end product will be one NFL team in Toronto with the Toronto media ramming it down the rest of the country's throats, just like the Blue Jays and the Raptors.
Perhaps, we should call the NHL bush league too because there is teams in Canada's smaller cities. I have been told that Ottawa doesn't deserve an NHL team, so why not go to the one team serves all for Canada.
At that point, I will tune out of pro sports entirely.

Diary Surveys – from design to data delivery
1. The geographic markets used for measuring and reporting radio and TV audiences are defined using data from Statistics Canada and Canada Post.
2. Survey Design staff determines the number of respondents, diary mail-outs and telephone listings needed to conduct each survey in each market.
3. A process called RDD (Random Digit Dialing) is used in each market as the basis for the weekly survey recruitment.
4. Enumeration departments in Montreal, Toronto and Moncton recruit households to participate in each upcoming survey and Diary packages are delivered to all participants in each household.
5. Diary information is captured by an electronic scanning system. Data is validated and processed.
6. Following a final data check, radio and TV database files are produced and supplied to third party processors for distribution to members via electronic software programs.
7. Once surveys have been processed, approved and released, members can then access opinions expressed on the comments page of each diary.
Panel Meter – from design to data delivery
1. Each month, approximately 50,000 randomly selected homes with a landline or mobile telephone are called.
2. A large-scale, monthly telephone survey called an Establishment Survey is conducted to determine the status of households within each of the meter markets.
3. Candidates are randomly selected from the Establishment Survey sample frame to take part in the Electronic Meter Panel.
4. Once a household is recruited, it receives a package containing a Personal People Meter (PPM), a portable charger and a headphone adapter for each household member.
5. Each household is assigned a Panel Administration Team member who remains in contact throughout participation, answering questions, updating household information, and providing coaching to encourage each member of the home to meet the minimum carrying times each day.
6. The PPM is carried by each member of the home who is two years of age or older. It automatically records and time-stamps inaudible codes that are embedded in the audio of television and radio signals.
7. Each respondent's data is checked for compliance and validated against metrics at the household level.
8. Once final data checks are complete, radio and TV database files are produced and supplied to third party processors for distribution to members via electronic software.
9. Television databases are released daily and radio databases are released monthly.

BC & Alberta have more NFL football fans than MLB baseball fans & Saskatchewan has twice as many NFL fans as MBL fans so its kinda hard to say Jay's have good numbers in the West especially considering there are no NFL teams in Canada.
Also seriously using the term 'bush league' in reference to a sport is only used by men who can't play sports very well themselves & who are trying to compensate for something very very small.
osmo Jul 30, 2017 11:30 AM
So, head to head a Sunday Blue Jay's game will not our draw a NFL game at the same time in these provinces? I find it hard to believe. NFL barley does 100k nationally at times for many games.
It depends on whether you are talking about an in contention Jays or the back to reality Jays which can be a half million person difference.
And the NFL has been drawing much better (I am loathe to say) because of the full push they get from Bell and being aired on the full CTV network which has up to a 20% greater reach than TSN. This disparity can only get bigger IMO with the cord cutting phenomena in full swing. The CFL has got to somehow get some games (at least the Grey Cup) on CTV before Bell builds the monster that will kill them.
And IIRC, like hockey if there are three NFL games on at the same time the rating numbers are lumped together.
I think it goes the other way around. The guys promoting bush leagues as better than the premier leagues are compensating for wee wee willies instead of excepting it for what it is.
wave46 Jul 30, 2017 5:30 PM
Legitimate question:
Why the comparison between MLB and the CFL here? Do the fanbases overlap that much (other than playing during part of the other's season)?
It's like comparing a steakhouse to an Italian restaurant. Yeah, they both fall under the category of 'restaurants' but a direct comparison would be silly as to which is better. The groups that passionately follow either may not really overlap.
I see the comparison for NFL vs. CFL numbers - it's pretty likely that fans overlap there.
The guys promoting bush leagues as better than the premier leagues are compensating for wee wee willies instead of excepting it for what it is.
And who is doing that? And what is your definition of better, higher salaries? more camera angles? bigger supposedly "better" players?
By parts of that definition that counts leagues such as the KHL, the EPL and all women's sports as "bush league" or less than the best. And that supposition is stupid.
Those that use the terms "bush league" are the water cooler, office pool crowd who are clueless because they only know the side of the argument that has been force fed to them and that they have happily and gullibly (sic) lapped up.
What pisses people off is when people come on here and deride someone else's sport as not good entertainment and worthy of one's time. If I've done that, my apologies, but it would almost always be because someone else has done it first and I'm letting them know it's not acceptable to me.
Every sport, no matter how much money and how high profile, has had its "fail" moments, they can all be made to look "bush league"
I used to enjoy clicking on sports threads and seeing JHikka's stats (which he generously takes the time to collate) for many of the sports leagues in this country. Anyone who takes an interest in the business dide of sports is going to find that info interesting. MLS only posts numbers at the end of the year, it's really cool being able to see the numbers every month as well as the progress or developments in other leagues. I say we give the guy a break and let him do his schpeel as long as people find value in it.

I don't generally play the bush league rhetoric game but frankly if we go there the MLS is definitely bush compared to the EPL Bundesliga La Liga and Série A. It's arguably even bush compared to the French league.

It was half in jest response to Saskscraper. He's fun.
Bush league can be a derogatory term to some however, I'm in no way implying that a bush league is not fun or a waste of time to follow. That's your own conclusion. I follow some bush league sports and I proudly call it as such.
The CFL is not the top league in our coverage area. The actual game of football (not including all the ancillary activities promoting the NFL) is a niche market in Toronto. That's being rational.

Riders beat Jays, post best TV number of the CFL season

"The Saskatchewan Roughriders 41-8 demolition of the B.C. Lions last Sunday was the most-watched CFL game on TSN so far this season.
The Riders-Leos match up even beat the Toronto Blue Jays, their 750,000 average audience besting the 721,000 the Jays posted on rival Sportsnet. The two games did not go head-to-head, however: the baseball game started at 1 p.m. EST (11 a.m. local time in Saskatchewan) while the CFL began at 8 p.m. EST (6 p.m. Saskie time.)..."

It's pretty obvious the Ti-cats were using tickets distributed instead of actual attendance since last season. There was always very little variation in the number regardless of how it looked in the stands. This last game had quite a lot of empty seats, and yet the number barely changed. Actual attendance probably sat at around 20k.

Agree, I have seasons seats, and there has been noticeably fewer people each game... don't know how much longer they can keep pretending they're sellouts :shrug:

The lower bowl of BMO Field has been mostly sold for Canada's friendly against Jamaica on Saturday. Upper deck seats now being sold.

Would the SK@EDM game be the highest (single) game attendance this season for the CFL?

And it typically happens either against Saskatchewan right at this time of year, or at the Eskimos home game vs. Calgary that either precedes or follows the Labour Day game.
Scotiabank will be taking over the naming rights of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto starting next July. $800M over 20 years. This is ten times the figure Air Canada has been paying annually since 1999 ($4M/year versus $40M/year announced today.

Quite a few empty seats for the Canada Jamaica friendly in Toronto. Quite surprising considering the large population of not only Canadians but Jamaicans in Toronto.
...and it's a Saturday night with no rain.
21600 announced.
They had originally only been selling seats in the lower bowl for the game and had opened up the upper section on the west stand a few days ago. 21,724 is a good crowd for a friendly but I wouldn't consider it great by any stretch.
http://www.canadasoccer.com/great-cr...oronto-p161127
"It marked the second-highest crowd for a Men's National Team international soccer match in Toronto (all competitions) and also the second-highest attendance for an international friendly since a 1994 pre-FIFA World Cup friendly with Brazil."

O Gambito Elefante (também chamado de Contra-gambito da Dama ou Contra-ataque Englund AKA) é uma rara abertura no xadrez derivado da Abertura do Cavaleiro do Rei, representada pelo código ECO C40E, que se inicia com os movimentos:

e4  e5
Cf3 d5

Embora este gambito seja considerado sem fundamento, é usado com frequência pelo mestre barbadense Philip Corbin.

O gambito 2...d5
Neste gambito, as Pretas ignoram o ataque no peão-e e ineditamente tentam tirar a iniciativa das Brancas, sacrificam um peão para ganhar um movimento e depois obter uma compensação por isto, deixando as brancas em uma posição delicada, podendo ser uma boa surpresa de abertura para as Pretas. Entretanto, normalmente esta abertura é considerada ruim, pois se as Brancas jogarem com exatidão, as pretas não conseguirão recuperar o peão sacrificado.

O branco é capaz de capturar qualquer um dos peões centrais do Black com a vantagem, seja por 3.exd5 ou 3.Nxe5. Com um peão de centro removido, o preto está em uma posição passiva com o branco claramente tendo a iniciativa como o branco controla mais espaço.

3.exd5
As respostas das Pretas ao 3.exd5 incluem 3 ... e4 e 3 ... Bd6 (o Gambito Elefante). 3 ... Qxd5 salva o peão, mas deixa o Branco com uma grande vantagem no desenvolvimento após o 4.Nc3, um dos melhores movimentos contra o gambito, devido à flexibilidade.

3...e4 4.Qe2 f5
3...e4 4.Qe2, Pretas jogam 4...f5 5.d3 Nf6 6.dxe4 fxe4 7.Nc3 Bb4 8.Qb5+ c6 9.Qxb4 exf3 with 10.Bg5 cxd5 11.0-0-0 Nc6 semelhante a Tal–Lutikov, Tallinn 1964 (ver de Firmian) com vantagem para as Brancas.

O gambito 3...Bd6
3...Bd6 4.d4 e4 5.Ne5 Nf6 6.Nc3 0-0 7.Bc4 de acordo com Firmian, as Brancas possuem superioridade, mas sem ataque imediato.

In marketing, results testing shows that subtle differences in a headline or presentation of information can increase results. Marketing professionals understand the value of communication, both written and verbal, and your objective as a business person is to be confident that your marketing message is maximized and as powerful as possible.
With direct mail pieces or ads in Spectrum Monthly, you have literally seconds to capture a potential customer's attention and bring them more deeply into your message.
Headline words: You, You're, and Free are almost mandatory. As in examples like: "You're gonna love this!" or "FREE this weekend only!" Two other biggies are SAVE and SALE, but those are often overused and have less impact unless there is an obvious coupon or discount shown near the headline.
Other compelling words include: RESULTS, PROVEN, and SAFE. Or you may need to convey efficiency with words like FAST and/or EASY. There is another old standby which still captures the attention visually: NEW! Add urgency with the words NOW and ONLY and LIMITED. Show you mean to back up your claims with a word like GUARANTEE. When you consider this in total, there are other words that may stand out to you to include, such as benefit, healthy, tested, long-term, etc.
What Does Your Message Look Like?
Now take a look at your advertising messaging. Does it include these words in the headline and the sub-headings of your message? For many companies, the headline of their message is a logo, which is always wrong and ineffective. No one wants to buy "Joe's Tree Service." They want to buy: "Beautify your yard this month and save." Then they see an offer, and then they will find the logo to see who to call.
When you invest money in an advertising campaign, it should include the most powerful message possible from the reader's first impression!


Homes exude personality – not just their own, but yours as well. As primary canvases to our life and times, our homes are often an intriguing medley of style, story and eccentricities. From décor scheme to detail, every aspect of our homes and its architecture offers expression to our innermost sensibilities in 3D. Here are 10 extravagant homes that burst with flavor and character, creating an original aesthetic through individual expression.
A glorious overlay of lines, geometries and color, this fabulous home takes personalization to the hilt with its treatment of space and surfaces. From furnishing to structure, every element of design is woven into a choreographed composition, blurring the boundaries between the movable and immovable in this home.
I don't know if ever the Flintstones had it this good! The bare textures and solid profiles lend weight and charm to this home, creating a haven of safety and communion within them. The raw is here translated into an aesthetic of refinement, emerging as a primary design generator that sets this home apart.
The eclectic is always a tricky muse, given just how out of control it can all get. But balanced out with a careful selection and it can add volumes to your home and space. The focus here is on detail and individuality, encouraging the eye to roam and initiate myriad dialogues with space.
Even a singular color can work as a strong and impressive theme for your home, weaving the different elements, graphics and textures into a harmonious and intriguing whole. Try reds or browns for an indulgent warmth, or go blue to bring cool crispness to your designs.
A great way to invigorate your space is to reinvent how you use a material or finish. Creating spatial geometries with the very material you use to populate it not only blends the different ends of design together, it creates fascinating visual and kinetic experiences for the occupants.
Don't underestimate the power of rhythm and repetition – these can create stunning effects in even the smallest of spaces. Try creating strong visual themes through structure and surface treatment, using furnishings to bring variation and individual charm to the space.
If you are blessed with a home with history, you might want to explore it to give your space a touch of timeless charm and character. Moldings, features, proportions and even surface finishes can all be celebrated and integrated into the most modern of designs. These are sure to not only delight you visually, but inspire you across space and time.
Renovations and conversions are often a visual blessing in disguise, stimulating the home and design with original features and a fresh take on the ordinary. But there is no reason you can't recreate the same in your home – no matter what its style or origins. You could for instance bring a serene, ethereal quality to your home with church inspired architecture.
Homes can be just as fun as the minds that inhabit them. Don't be shy; go completely authentic and original when setting your space up and paint your ideas loud and proud on your three-dimensional canvas. If you prefer keeping your eccentricities away from prying eyes, the bedroom or den is a perfect place to get expressive.
Don't be afraid to explore and experiment with color. Used right, a broad color spectrum can create inimitable effects and themes in your home, lending it that unique and distinctive feel you so seek.

Hunt for container adrift in sea …
A Cornish lifeboat and a Royal Navy helicopter took part in a search for a cargo container seen adrift in the sea. Falmouth coastguards were alerted to the container after it was spotted eight miles (13km) from Lizard Point. The Lizard lifeboat was asked by coastguards to locate it in case it became a potential hazard to shipping. A navy helicopter training in the area also joined the search. The container was not located. Coastguards said they believed it sank. The lifeboat was launched at 1335 BST and was out for several hours, coastguards said. They added it was not known from which vessel the container was lost from or what it contained.
It is estimated that some 200 million shipping containers are used globally each year, and that at any one time, between five and six million containers are in transit.

La estación de Campament es una estación de la línea 2 de Metrovalencia. Se encuentra entre las estaciones de Paterna y Carolines-Fira, al sur del barrio de Campamento (Paterna). Está declarada bien de relevancia local.

Historia y descripción
La estación de Campament se construyó entre 1926 y 1928, para la línea de ferrocarril Valencia-Liria, de la Sociedad Valenciana de Tranvías, que había entrado en servicio en 1888. En un principio se trataba simplemente de un apeadero para dar servicio al Campamento Militar Daoíz y Velarde de Paterna, de ahí la denominación de la estación. La nueva estación se edificó en estilo modernista, pues el crecimiento demográfico de esta zona de Paterna, denominada entonces el «Ensanche de Palacio» (diseñado por el arquitecto José María Manuel Cortina Pérez), se había ido llenando de chalets construidos en dicho estilo.

Está decorado con almohadillados, molduras, bolinches y almenas fantásticas en la torreta. A la parte de los andenes dan varios murales de azulejería, estando el que hacía las veces de rótulo firmado por B. Vidal. El edificio de la estación está realizado en ladrillo bícromo, sobre zócalo en la parte del andén, con porche de hierro forjado y decoraciones en azulejo. Tiene tres puertas y un reloj. Por su estilo guarda similitudes con la estación de Carlet, edificada en la misma época. El edificio se restauró en 1982.

Everything you know about the PC gaming world is set to change over the next twelve months. We're going to experience a tectonic shift in the coming year on a scale not seen since the introduction of Windows 95 and the death of DOS. Valve have struck a blow for open-source gaming must have reverberated around the corridors of Microsoft's Redmond HQ like the last peal at a funeral.
Okay, that's overselling it a bit, but the groundswell of support surrounding Linux as a viable gaming OS alternative to Windows, currently spearheaded by Valve, really could change things. We'll at least get a range of gaming PCs that look like nothing on the market right now. Next year Valve have announced that they will be helping hardware partners sell branded Steam Machines specifically designed to run with a bespoke Linux-based OS and sit under your TV in the living room. One of the advantages they'll have over the consoles is that they'll be modular and upgradeable, and rely on the hardware we use to power our desktops right now.
That means we'll be able to build our own Steam Machines to fit our living rooms. With that in mind, I've scoured the world of small form-factor hardware to create two sample Steam machines, a no-holds barred powerhouse and a powerful but more sensibly priced offering.
Valve have admitted their prototype is going to be "something special", a high-performance beast of a mini-rig. But have also not discouraged others from building their own. "Apart from the custom enclosure," Valve says about the Steam Machines, "anyone can go and build exactly the same machine by shopping for components and assembling it themselves. And we expect that at least a few people will do just that." The only thing we're missing right now is the SteamOS itself. But I'm betting it will be entering beta in more than just the 300 prototype machines when they eventually ship.

Everyone had a great time today at our annual party. We have such great fun with the white elephant gift exchange especially as more gifts seem to show up each year that will come back next year. The little stool had not been seen for a few years and showed back up today. There was great fear of an appearance of the red bra but I don't think it was in any gifts. The singing fish and the ugly sweater came back and I am sure will be back next year.
In addition to all the fun with the gift exchange. we all enjoyed some great food and an afternoon with good friends.
Pictures to come and we are looking forward another year of fun adventures.
Last Friday we headed up to Homosassa for our fifth annual scalloping trip, a weekend full of fun and food!


A day in a life of a Malaysian Student in Sydney Australia. Farhan who originated from Kuantan Pahang is in his last semester pursuing his Master degree in Biotech. He's living with two other housemates all hailing from Malaysia. As any typical Malaysian, a tradition that wouldn't be miss even if they are boys is, of course Malaysian cooking. So today Farhan took me to his usual grocery store to buy some necessary item to prepare a sumptuous weekend meal together. Well it is not really hard getting all the things we needed especially halal ones, There are also special oriental Asian spices herbs and ingredient being sold here like stink bean, lemongrass, bird chilies, coconut milk, including the ever so famous "belachan" or shrimp paste. Well they really can cook and the ingredients were very fresh.

Sand Lake Scenic Resort (Sha Hu)
If you love both the desert and the world of water, Sand Lake Scenic Resort in northwest China is an ideal choice. Located in Pingluo County of the Ningxia Autonomous Region, 56 kilometers (about 35 miles) north of Yinchuan, the capital city of Ningxia, it is more than 80 square kilometers (about 31 square miles) in area, including 45 square kilometers (about 17 square miles) of lakes and over 22 square kilometers (about 8 square miles) of desert. This unique, natural scenery attracts millions of visitors from China and abroad.
Sand Lake Scenic Resort is one of the best places for bird watching in all of China, as it is home to 198 species and over one million birds. Every year during spring and autumn, over one million migratory birds stop here. The Bird-watching Tower, equipped with best telescope available, holds hundreds of people. This is a paradise for the birdwatcher as well as a great variety of birds, including white cranes, black cranes, red-crowned cranes, swans, wild ducks and mandarin ducks.
Sand Lake Scenic Resort also has several species of fishes. Not just the common carp, silver carp, grass carp and crucian carp but also the blunt-snout bream, which is rarely found in North China. You can find giant salamanders here as well. Because of the abundance of fish, the reeds and the lotuses seem to be endless in the lake.

And what would be the recommended time needed to explore this place?

Take a taxi to Beimen Bus Station for about CNY 5. Then, take a bus to the lake (about 1 hour). The buses are available from 8:00 to 10:30 at intervals of 30 minutes. The fare is CNY 15. The return buses are available from 13:00 to 18:00 by the way. The suggested sightseeing time is about 3 or 4 hours. :)

Weather the end of Feb. in Sand Lake.
Would this be worth the trip at the end of February? Is the lake open?
Answered by Rina from NETHERLANDS | Jan. 02, 2016 02:06
Hello TJ. It will be cold then and personally there is not much to see in late Feb. although the scenic spot will be open then. For better view and visit, the best timing is during May and Oct. and during Apr. and late May there are many birds.

How far is the Yinchuan airport from Shahu Resort Hotel located in Shahu Scenic?
Which transportation (bus, taxi, others) can I take from Yinchuan airport to Shahu Resort Hotel? How much is the fare?
Answered by Mindy from RUSSIA | Aug. 31, 2013 04:20
It is a little further than 60km from the airport to the scenic area.
From the airport, you can take the shuttle bus to the city center. Then catch a taxi to local Beimen Bus Station, where there are direct buses to Shahu. I remember the bus fare to the scenic area is CNY15 per person.

Is this good place for birdwatching at Yinchuan Sand Lake?
I don't like sandsliding, water-motorcycling, windsurfing etc. I enjoy bird watching. Is this a good place? I have mixed feeling because I read about bird watching in bookguide but can not imagine water-motorcycling, crowds and a lot of birds next to each other. Do I need an agency to go there and see birds?
Answered by Jackson from UNITED KINGDOM | Aug. 14, 2013 02:09
Yes, the Sand Lake is a perfect place for watching birds.
The highlight for this attraction is the combination of the lake and desert.
I suggest you to go there to see the birds without joining a tour, so that you can freely enjoy yourself to that wonderful land.

I was trying to learn as much as I could. I enjoy sourdough. Its unique.
A very mild starter. When used in enriched breads it lacks any hint of sourness. A great replacement for commercial yeast. I think of it more as a natural leaven than sourdough.
Remove from refrigerator. Remove half the contents. Add flour and water. Stir until well mixed. Return to the refrigerator.

Inter-American Division Closes Business Meetings on Bended Knee
160 leaders pray for revival and God's blessing as they face a busy 2023 with confidence.
Libna Stevens, Inter-American Division, and Adventist Review
[Photo: Libna Stevens, Inter-American Division News]
Top church administrators and leaders from across the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Inter-American Division (IAD) ended their annual business meetings on bended knees. Leaders pleaded for God's protection, guidance, and providence across the territory in the weeks, months, and year ahead. The prayer session, held in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, on November 1, 2022, sealed the end of the three-day annual Year-End Executive Committee meetings, with sights set on the sole mission of reaching the unreached with the gospel message and guiding the membership to remain focused on Jesus.
"We are here to ask for more unity in purpose, to let our communities where we live know and feel that we are a praying people of God, a believing people that trusts in God above all else," IAD president Elie Henry said as he addressed the more than 160 administrators and leaders gathered. Henry pointed to seeking a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit, a clearer vision to offer hope to so many families, young people, and various people groups.
Leaders prayed for areas of the IAD that are experiencing danger and difficulties, as is the case in Haiti, Venezuela, and Cuba. They also prayed for the financial resources to continue advancing the mission in every corner of the territory.
Committee members voted a document titled "God's Promised Gift: An Urgent Appeal for Revival, Reformation, Discipleship, and Evangelism," vowing to carry it throughout their respective territories. The document includes placing priority on seeking God for spiritual revival and outpouring of the Holy Spirit in their own lives, families, and ministries. It calls for individually setting aside daily time to fellowship with Christ through prayer and the study of God's Word. It also encourages the ministries of the church to spend time praying, studying God's Word, and seeking God's heart to understand His plans for His Church, leaders said.
In addition, committee members voted to approve and implement an initiative coined as "Back to the Altar." The initiative seeks to encourage the daily, habitual practice of morning and evening worship in the lives of Seventh-day Adventist individuals and families for personal revival and reformation and outreach. It "seeks to safeguard the spiritual lives of members and others from the negative effects of digital media by promoting good digital hygiene and sharing healthy ways to use media for fellowship and evangelism."
IAD Sabbath School director Samuel Telemaque said the initiative has a goal of sustaining a culture of daily morning and evening worship to spur an inside-out revolution in the IAD during the 2022-2027 quinquennium and beyond. "The 'Back to the Altar' initiative requires collaboration of all the ministries and institutions for effective implementation," he said.
Part of the spiritual revival initiatives voted will strengthen the church during 2023, voted by leaders as the Year of Conservation and Soul Winning across the IAD. Each ministry and department of the church will execute initiatives designed to both conserve the members of the church and lead persons to accept Christ, following a conservation development plan that includes discipleship programs.
Leaders also went over strategic initiatives for next year, including building healthy communities, increasing discipleship programs across churches and congregations, the expansion of radio stations under the Hope Channel Inter-America network, resources to fund mission projects in the territory, and more.
A prayer session also took place among executive members for the three million copies of The Great Controversy book by Adventist Church cofounder Ellen G. White that are scheduled to be distributed next year throughout the IAD territory.
Three mission fields were upgraded to conference status, including the Alpine Mission and the Central Veracruz Mission in the Inter-Oceanic Mexican Union, as well as the Campeche Mission in the Southeast Mexican Union.
IAD's next annual executive committee meetings will be held May 1-4, 2023, in Miami, Florida, United States.

Cochrane researchers updated a review about treating diarrhoea in children. This review was first published in 2009. This new edition of the review includes a new study, and uses more recent Cochrane methods, but the findings have changed little since 2009.
In some homes, mothers use water mixed with cooked rice, wheat, or maize to give to their children when they are sick with diarrhoea. Children may like this more than salt and sugar solution, which is the standard medical treatment given. This updated Cochrane Review aimed to look at the evidence comparing these "food-based" rehydration solutions with the standard sugar and salt solution. It included 35 studies.
Older included studies compared food-based rehydration solutions with older formulas of the sugar-salt solution that were more concentrated. There was some evidence that the food-based solutions were better, but differences were small.
Also, some older studies compared food-based rehydration solutions with the current standard global formula for sugar-salt solution. This may reduce the length of time children had diarrhoea, but there were not many included studies and we are not very certain about the results.
The results of this review mean that using food-based solutions certainly doesn't do any harm, and could be more effective than sugar-salt.
This Cochrane Review update is a comprehensive summary on this topic, but the studies and findings are reasonably well known by child health professionals.

Q: Allow Docker Apache write permissions to local synced volume When running a Docker container, what is the correct way allow Apache write access to a synced volume?

*

*Important, I would like the folder synced so local changes are immediately reflected inside the container as is happening now with the current run command

When running the container with:
docker run -v /Local/folder/toSync:/var/www/html -p 8080:80 --sig-proxy=false the-image
The Docker Apache process does not have write access to the folder because the owner and group of that folder is set to 1000 staff Where I believe 1000 is replacing my local username (which is absent from the container). Apache is running as www-data and therefore cannot write to the file.
Attempting to set the local folder user/group to www-data results in chown: www-data: illegal user name
What is the correct way to set permissions and/or mount the volume to permit Apache write access?

A: You need to put the :z on the end of your volume.
-v /Local/folder/toSync:/var/www/html:z

Also, the syntax of your chown statement doesn't looks right.  Changing the owner of the volume should work fine, and you will still need to do this.
FROM php:7.4-apache
WORKDIR /var/www/html
EXPOSE 80
WORKDIR /var/www
RUN chown -R www-data html

Steven Guttman is an American real estate developer and art collector. Guttman served as chairman and CEO of Federal Realty Investment Trust and led the company as CEO from 1980 until his departure in early 2003. Guttman founded Storage Deluxe when he began investing in self-storage in 1998. He also founded UOVO Fine Art Storage in 2013.

Guttman joined the American Friends of the Centre Pompidou Foundation in 2007, becoming chairman of the organization in 2012. In 2016, Guttman was named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour by the French Government for his work with the foundation.

Early life
Guttman grew up in Charleroi, Pennsylvania and attended Mercersburg Academy, where he graduated from high school in 1964. He then attended the University of Pittsburgh, graduating in 1968. He went on to pursue a Juris Doctor degree at George Washington University Law School, graduating with honors in 1972.

Career

Early career
After graduating from law school, Guttman accepted a position with Federal Realty Investment Trust. He became COO of the Maryland-based real estate investment trust in 1978 as well as a managing trustee in 1979. In 1980, he was also appointed the president of the company.

During Guttman's tenure, the company expanded beyond the Mid-Atlantic states. In the 1980s, Guttman and Federal Realty also developed Bethesda Row, a shopping district in Bethesda, Maryland with an emphasis on restaurants, as well as Pentagon Row, a mix of retail and residential space in Pentagon City, Virginia. In 2001, Guttman was appointed the chairman of the board while still serving as CEO of the company.

Santana Row is perhaps the largest project Guttman has undertaken. The mixed-use development in San Jose, California represented a significant investment of the company's equity. Due in part to criticism of his handling of this project, in March 2002, Guttman announced his plans to resign upon completion of Santana Row. On August 19, 2002, a fire at Santana Row damaged over a hundred residential properties, delaying the opening of the project. According to officials, "it was the costliest in San Jose's history." Guttman had moved to the city to oversee the completion of the project. He was on hand to call emergency services and witness the destruction the fire wrought. Guttman retired from his career at Federal Realty in early 2003 having served twenty-two years as CEO of the company. Despite the problems faced by project, Santana Row was a successful project with high yields for Federal Realty and good revenue for the retail tenants.

Guttman founded Storage Deluxe when he began investing in self-storage in 1998. Storage Deluxe builds and own self storage properties and has developed dozens of properties in the New York city metro area. In 2011 Storage Deluxe sold 22 of its facilities to CubeSmart for $560 million. The facilities ranged in size from 50,000 – 165,000 square feet for a total of 1.6 million square feet.  In 2019, Storage Deluxe announced it had acquired a site in East Williamsburg, New York with plans to erect a 220,000 square foot facility in a $100 million development.  In October 2020, CubeSmart announced the acquisition of eight additional self-storage properties in New York City from Storage Deluxe for $540 million.

Later career in the art industry

Guttman's interest in the arts began while he was living in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., where he first began collecting French and English furniture which he admired while visiting the local shops near his home. Although he acquired a few pieces of artwork and furniture during that time, he only began to grow his art collection in earnest in the latter part of his career as a developer and after retirement from Federal Realty. Sometime in the late 1990s or early 2000s, Guttman and his wife Kathy Guttman became interested in what is considered France's version of Arte Povera, an Italian term for the post-World War II contemporary art movement that reused debris and scraps as its medium for art. They began collecting the works of the early originators of this movement such as André-Pierre Arnal and others. According to The Wall Street Journal, "the Guttmans' collection of [these artists'] work ranks among the world's best."

In 2006 realizing that his large art collection was in need of a proper storage space and learning that such a space was hard to find, Guttman built a fine art storage facility in Bronx, New York. The storage space was housed on the top two floors of a building owned by the Storage Deluxe Management Corporation, a company he founded.

In January 2013, Guttman founded UOVO Fine Art Storage, because he felt the demand for art storage far exceeded the capacity at the Bronx facility, and because he believed he could improve on existing art-storage options with a facility purpose-built to receive and protect fine art. UOVO specializes in safeguarding high-value fine art, fashion, interior design, and archival collections.. The company operates four facilities in the New York City area and stored in its facilities are numerous notable works of art and memorabilia from the fine art, music, entertainment and fashion industries. The company is named after uovo, the Italian word for egg and evokes the fragility of art. UOVO announced that it would build its first purpose-built art storage facility in Long Island City, Queens. The pair of buildings on 22nd Street which make up the 280,000-square-foot facility near Queens Plaza opened in 2014. The facility built from the ground-up features about 500 storage spaces and private viewing rooms, strict security, as well as advanced cataloging and indexing. The company offers suites customized for individual collections, workspaces for curators and conservators, as well as specialized transportation services for artwork. Its clients include museums and wealthy individual collectors, but also foundations, galleries, financial institutions, fashion designers who need to store vintage clothing and fabrics, and nonprofit groups.

In December 2014, Guttman purchased a warehouse facility in Orangeburg, New York. The 106,141-square-foot facility located at 33 Kings Highway sits on a thirteen-acre lot. In February 2017, the company opened its third facility, the second in Rockland County. The renovated 140,000-square-foot facility sits on a 9-acre property located at 100 Bradley Parkway in Blauvelt, a subdivision of Orangetown, New York.

In 2015, Guttman expanded his team, bringing on Steve Novenstein as the chief executive of UOVO. With expansion of space and team, Guttman attracted high-level clients to UOVO, including many notables in the art and fashion world. The Rubin Museum of Art in New York, a notable client, utilizes UOVO's facilities as an auxiliary storage space for its collections. Although UOVO seldom discloses the items stored in its facilities, the fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has stored his collection with UOVO since 2016. Spanning decades of work, de la Renta's designs are housed, cataloged, and sometimes showcased at UOVO, providing the designer's archivist opportunity to peruse the collection when necessary. UOVO also stores the collections of other notables in the fashion industry, among them PVH Corp.—owners of Calvin Klein Inc.—and the Tommy Hilfiger Group. In 2018, UOVO acquired a 150,000-square-foot facility in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.

In 2019, Guttman and his team at UOVO joined forces with the Brooklyn Museum to create the UOVO Prize, an award recognizing the work of emerging Brooklyn-based artists. In 2019, the inaugural UOVO Prize was awarded to John Edmonds. In 2020, the second annual UOVO prize was awarded to Baseera Khan. In 2022, the third annual UOVO Prize was awarded to Oscar yi Hou.

In March 2022, Guttman and the UOVO team announced its expansion to Palm Beach, Florida, with the assistance of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County. The new expansion will occupy a  facility at 4200 Westgate Avenue. Later that month, UOVO announced its expansion to Dallas, Texas, in partnership with the art collector Howard Rachofsky and art advisor John Runyon. Rachofsky and Runyon renovated an existing Irving building to house the operation. The new acquisition is a 85,000-square-foot facility, located just north of Dallas in Las Colinas.

As of July 2022, Guttman and the UOVO team launched UOVO Art Finance, a way for clients to leverage their art collections while works are safely stored in UOVO's state-of-the-art facilities. Through this program, UOVO offers loans against art from $1 million to $25 million. Using artworks entrusted to its care as collateral, UOVO prioritizes ease of process while ensuring that works are protected with the utmost security for the duration of the loan agreement.

Beyond his involvement in the art world through UOVO, since late 2011, Guttman has served on the board of the Miami Art Museum, now known as Pérez Art Museum Miami. The museum, which is partly supported by public funds, began construction on a new facility paid in part by a large cash donation from Jorge M. Pérez. In recognition of this contribution, the museum was to be renamed Jorge M. Pérez Art Museum of Miami-Dade County. Guttman and three other board members resigned in protest of the name change.

Guttman also serves on the board of the American Friends of the Centre Pompidou Foundation. He first joined the organization in 2007. In July 2012, he was appointed the chairman of the organization after the resignation of Robert Rubin, the previous chairman. In May 2016, Gérard Araud, the French ambassador to the United States, presented to Guttman the honor of Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur, the civilian Legion of Honour award. In the private award ceremony at the French ambassador's residence in Washington, D.C., Araud stated that they "continue to benefit from Mr. Guttman's relentless commitment to strengthening the bridge of ideas and talent between the U.S. and France. I applaud his efforts and congratulate him on an honor well deserved."

Personal life
Steven and Kathy Guttman live in the Greenwich Village They own four homes that house some of their more than 1,000 objects of art and design, including their primary residence in Miami as well as residences in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City, in Paris, France and in Washington, CT.  Their Washington CT home, named the "Rocks", was the personal residence of architect Ehrick Rossiter.

In 2017, they donated $2 million to the University of Pittsburgh Football program, the single largest donation to the program's Championship Fund. The donation was specifically earmarked for his alma mater's football program.

NOTE: This husband has a lot of room for improvement. I think we all agree on that. But let's focus on what the wife has control over in this situation, please.
I'm not real sure how to even begin answering this…. In the beginning of our marriage I was not a Godly wife nor did I understand how to be that because we married so young. Once my relationship became fully established with my Savior is when I started learning how to be a Godly wife and how to listen to the Holy Spirit on when to speak and when not to speak.
I had so much hate for my husband in my heart that any disagreements we had would cause even more anger to well up inside me. Even though the anger was there, the Lord was working on me long ago with holding my tongue.
At that moment, I snapped. I threw the covers off of me with tears in my eyes, snatched the baby out of his bed, and stomped down the hallway to get back to my room to tell my husband to get out because he was useless and that I could do all this on my own. While I was leaving our son's room entering the hallway, I felt that tug on my heart saying, "Stop, don't say it," but I kept walking.
I got to the threshold of my bedroom door and take a deep breath to say it but it was like the Holy Spirit yelled at me to stop. I stood there crying, wanting so badly to tell my husband to get out – but I couldn't. That anger from that night ended up being one of my "hate bricks" that I built around my heart that God had to destroy in the last year and a half. I was angry with God too, you know… but this was a stepping stone in my relationship with God for me to understand that I don't always know what's best.
I am NOT a "quick on your feet" thinker so when disagreements arise, sometimes I won't even have an answer or even a response sometimes until like 2 or 3 days later but then I feel like it's too late. God has taught me over time that when there is a situation that needs to be dealt with, how to prepare for it. My husband is manipulative and can change the angle of a disagreement so quickly that it makes my head spin. God has taught me how to review each angle in my head so that I can be prepared with an answer if the conversation goes that direction. I don't always pray beforehand but when I know it could get ugly, I will pray for the right words to say in wisdom and that they will not fall on deaf ears but an open heart, that my responses would be gentle so as to turn away wrath.
If my husband gets rude or harsh in his comments or responses, I look away for a moment saying a prayer in my head that God would help me before words come out of my mouth. Sometimes I can't even speak anymore because so many things are going through my mind that confusion would happen and God is NOT the author of confusion. I have to step away to gain clarity and then proceed. When my husband is "done" with a subject, God tells me to just wait because the same situation will arise soon and it can be turned around to prove my point. God has been right every single time, of course.
We are both pretty head strong people. When I decided to allow myself to become submissive to my husband despite the imperfections and to allow God to lead me, it was a hard task but has turned out to be quite rewarding.


This time, I balanced my paper tray of pastries on the Osloer Straße tram stop railing to take a photo in the failing light. By the time I got off at Schönhauser Allee, only two pieces were left. The söbiyet -- the triangles to the left -- are my favorite, filled with a tender mixture of pistachios and fresh cheese.
The water börek is scrumptious too. (That's why I had to take two bites before I found a spot to take a photograph.) Here, lasagne-like noodles are layered with a sour-salty, crumbly cheese and leaves of lemony parsley.
Five pieces of baklava and a generous wodge of börek costs about €7-8.
Their pastries are made fresh at the Stettiner Straße branch, just north of Gesundbrunnen. Peep into the back room and spot the cauldron over a naked gas flame, bubbling with syrup. To the side, there's a metal table covered with flour. Or snag a plastic chair at their Müllerstraße shop and order a Turkish coffee while you watch all of Wedding crowd past on the pavement.
(pardon me while i wipe the drool from my mouth) luscious! baklava is one thing i would much rather buy than make.
I've often seen this place on my way to work and wondered if it was any good so now there's really no excuse for not going in. Love your photos, anything with pistachios gets my vote.
Mmm, makes me think of this place in Jordan that does Knafi, oh man is that good. I would be 100 kg if I lived there because I wouldn't be able to restrain myself.
Jonquil, I know, that's why I'm so grateful they're there: the flavor of the nuts is always crisp and true, the sugar syrup is never too cloying.
Vanessa, really? Dangerous information then -- I think I *would* gain a hundred kilograms if I had such frequent access.
Suzy, a friend swears by the knafi at the Adelbertstraße Hasir.
