He loves us too well to promise that!
If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to Heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the end — all this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no affliction. He loves us too well to promise that!
By affliction He teaches us many precious lessons which without it we would never learn. By affliction He . . .
and makes us long for Heaven.
In the resurrection morning, we shall all say, "It is good for me that I was afflicted." We shall thank God for every storm.

The Sit-Yun Wedding – Morgan Hill, Calif.
Home / weddings / The Sit-Yun Wedding – Morgan Hill, Calif.
It’s already October 1st and that means that I just photographed Chris and Rene Yun’s beautiful end-of-September wedding here in the South Bay Area!
You couldn’t have hoped for a better weekend, too! The SF Bay Area got a couple days of rain in the week leading up to their wedding which meant clear and clean blue skies for their afternoon ceremony! And what a fun time we all had, too!
I met Chris and Rene several years ago through the automotive community here in the Bay Area. And like most people these days we’ve stayed in touch primarily through social media. Rene had kept up with my photography work on Facebook, and later instagram, as I got busier traveling around the US shooting all manner of weddings.
So, when Chris proposed to her she reached out to me about shooting for the two of them. Chris later told me they were both thrilled that I was going to shoot for them and all he needed to know from Rene was “Just tell me where to send the check!” Haha! It sounds silly, I know. But honestly it’s very flattering to hear that the only concern from your bride and groom is your mailing address because they know you’ve moved recently. Chris and Rene both had full faith in me that I would be able to capture all they photos they were hoping for.
And we had a blast.
Both of them were perfect examples of “Don’t take your wedding too seriously” as the weekend flew by. They were laughing, joking around, and doing everything the way they wanted it to be done. Chris high-fived friends as he walked down the aisle, they took jumping-high-five photos during the portraits we shot, they pre-planned their first dance ahead of time, and made sure to say hello to every person that attended whether it was to thank them, take photos with those who traveled far to be there, or simply catch up on life for a few minutes. I don’t think Chris stopped smiling that whole evening.
I’ve made a large selection of just over 360 images to tell the story of Chris and Rene’s wedding weekend. As always I will caption various moments here and there so those who couldn’t be there will know what’s going on.
Rene didn’t seem to want to practice the first kiss… so Chris went for it on his own!
The ladies were sitting and discussing makeup, skin care, and which products they do or don’t like. haha!
Mom came in to watch her daughter get ready, too!
Once back upstairs, and after eating, the girls were back to prep-work and finishing their hair before getting dressed.
Why yes we did have a box of In-n-Out french fries… DON’T JUDGE US! hahaha!
Nextdoor Chris was sitting and writing out his vows. He knew what he was planning to say, just had to put it on paper so he wouldn’t forget.
And then helped tie on Rene’s belt.
How amazing is the veil?
Asian mafia right there… well, and Josh. Haha!
The seriousness that the sunglasses adds to this photo. You KNOW something is about to go down.
Quick shot with the bride before I had to run downstairs to get ready for the ceremony!
Then he started high fiving people, starting with Q! haha!
The funny part is that he actually pulled it off pretty quickly!
Look! I’m in a photo, too, now!!
When Oliver got to the front Chris gave him a huge hug. You could see Oliver was really proud.
Araceli got too embarrassed to walk down the aisle herself! She looked super cute in her little flower girl dress though!
And Mrs. Yun was wiping away tears as she watched!
As they walked back down the aisle Mrs. Yun stood up and hugged her new daughter-in-law. So sweet!
So Chris did the only logical thing and went and hugged his new father and mother in law, too!
Don’t worry Chris, Josh has your back!
It was REALLY bright out, but we managed to get everyone in the family photos at least.
Sorry you guys had to all stare toward the sun for a while!
Still had to get a couple images under the arch. It was very bright out with no clouds that day which is why we took many of the photos in the front yard with their backs to the sun.
Plus I’m pretty sure that my wedding couples like giving me challenges. Their whole wedding I was adjusting my camera for pretty much every photo since Rene and Chris were in direct sun. But it was still gorgeous and worked out great!
And then he read from a birthday card that Chris gave Oliver when Oliver was the age that Chris is now!! How amazing is that?! He had saved it all these years and pulled it out for his Best Man speech!
I’m fairly certain Chris is probably reading it to make sure that he actually did write what Oliver said he wrote! hahaha!
HAHAHA!! Oh my god, I was dying! Chris was telling Oliver to cut it!
And told the story of how her and Rene first met Chris, and talked about how it was a completely random chance happening.. and that if Rene hadn’t decided to scribble her number on a piece of paper, and Vicki hadn’t volunteered to walk about into the coffee shop and find Chris to give him the number then we wouldn’t all be celebrating with them at a wedding that day.
Last up was Chris’ friend Winston to say a few words to everyone, too.
Hector was my lighting assistant for that artsy photo above. Hector and Chris go back 7+ years, actually. He was able to get leave from his military work and fly in to California just long enough for the wedding. How cool is that?
It was great! Rene and Chris had learned and whole choreographed routine!
And after the formal dances were done, it was time for everyone else to join in!
Time to make everything official before it’s too late and everyone drinks too much. Haha!
Edwards signature was last… meaning they’re now married!
They’re trying to cut a piece but also have to deal with the ribbon that’s wrapped around the layers of cake (that purple band).
Chris almost had to scoop the slice out to get it on the plate!
The ceilings there were really low and the flowers hit the ceiling, then hit Rene in the head!
Then he did a few pushups to warm up! LOL!!
Chris successfully removes the garter from Rene’s leg!
Turns out that Chris wasn’t much better at throwing… He and Rene are made for each other, clearly.
Both Rene and Araceli had changed into lighter dresses since the ceremony earlier that afternoon.
Then it turned out that the Despicable Me minion’s version of YMCA confused the guys so much they couldn’t spell Y-M-C-A… haha!
On their second or third attempt at creating a heart with sparklers they managed to pull this off!
I jokingly told Chris to “do the starbucks logo”… He actually did a pretty good job considering it was with both hands and two sparklers at the same time!
This was actually while we were all in the photobooth together!
The very last image of the night. Chris and Rene out in front of the mansion before those that were left headed out.
It was an awesome day and a great weekend with both their families and friends. I’d love to post a ton more photos for everyone but this was already a lot! I’ve made a lot of headway on the overall edits and should have those finished for Chris and Rene soon!
This was a great way to spend my first week of my two-week trip here in the Bay Area for weddings.
Chris and Rene, thank you for having me be part of your ceremony and part of your lives! I hope you’ve enjoyed these photos so far and can’t wait to share the rest of them with you as soon as they’re ready!
For the rest of you who made it this far… thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed everything! I have one more wedding here in the Bay Area, then I’m back in SoCal after being gone for over six weeks!

Sources of stress: life changes and daily hassles.
Definition: Life changes: These are significant changes in a person’s life which disrupt their normal routines. They include both positive and negative events, such as, marriage, divorce, a new job, moving house, etc. A number of researchers argue that life changes are a major source of stress.
Holmes and Rahe (1964) were the first to record the effects of life events. From their work in hospitals, Holmes and Rahe noticed that certain life events in their patients seemed to be associated with stress and poor health (e.g. heart disease). They claimed that the greater the life change, the greater the stress and the more serious the illness.
Holmes and Rahe examined 5000 patient hospital records and identified 43 life changes that appeared to cluster in the months preceding their illnesses.
They gathered 394 participants and asked them to score each life event in terms of how much readjustment would be required by the average person, compared to marriage (to which a random value of 50 was assigned). If an event would take longer to readjust to than marriage, then they were told to give the event a larger score, scores from all 394 participants were totalled and averaged to produce a life change units (LCU’s) for each life event.
Aim: To investigate the link between life events, stress and illness.
Rahe used a slightly adapted version of the SRRS to investigate the relationship between stress and illness – Schedule of Recent Experiences (SRE), created by a set of ‘normal’ individuals rather than a group of individuals who were already hospitalised (as in the case of the SRRS).
The sample consisted OF 2,664 men who were navel and marine personnel serving aboard three US navy cruisers.
The men were asked to complete the SRE for events experienced in the last 2 years.
The SRE was adapted to be specifically relevant to military experiences, such as being selected to receive a promotion – this produced a total LCU score.
During the 6-8 month tour of duty, a record was kept of any time one of the men visited a sick bay on board the ship.
The type and severity of the illness was also recorded.
Those men who scored low in terms of SRE scores also had low levels of illness whilst at sea.
As both positive and negative life events were included in the SRRS, it appears that it is change rather than the negativity of change that is important in creating stress. Conclusion: It is the overall mental and emotional effort required to deal with a life event that creates the stress.
(1) Point: Further research has provided evidence for a link between high LCU scores on the SRRS and the development of stress related illness. Evidence: For example, Cohen et al (1993) gave nasal drops to participants that contained the common cold virus and also assessed life changes using the SRE. The researchers further assessed psychological stress using a perceived stress scale. Participants were quarantined to see if they did develop a cold. The results indicated that participants with higher LCU scores were more likely to get infected with the cold virus. Evaluation: This is a strength as Cohen at al’s (1993) research further supports the link between life changes and illness.
(1) Point: The ratings for the individual life events on the SRRS ignores individual differences: Evidence: For example, some people hate Christmas and find it stressful and therefore would view it as having a high LCU score (a large amount of readjust would need to take place), whereas others do not view Christmas as being stressful and therefore would view it has having a low LCU score. Evaluation: This is a problem as it means that the SRRS is not individualistic and therefore may under estimate/over estimate individual’s stress levels. In the case of this study it means that the research may not be measuring accurately what it is intending to measure (i.e. an individual’s stress levels) and therefore the research can be criticised for having low internal validity.
(2) Point: A weakness of Rahe’s study is that the reliability of the participant’s recall can be questioned.: Evidence: For example, the life changes approach is generally based on people’s memory of events over months or years. Rahe (1974) investigated the test-retest reliability of the SRRS and found that it varies depending on the time interval between testing. Evaluation: This is a problem because participants recall of past events (retrospective data) may not be accurate and again this could call into question the extent to which the study is accurately measuring what it is intending to measure therefore risking the internal validity of the study.
Definition: Daily Hassles: The stresses of everyday life (e.g. sitting in a traffic jam, queuing at the supermarket) as oppose to major life events (e.g. marriage, having a baby).
(1) Accumulation Effect: Minor daily hassles (e.g. class test, falling out with best friend, rip new jeans etc…) build up and multiply. This leads to severe stress reaction (i.e. anxiety and depression).
(2) Amplification Effect: Chronic stress (e.g. life changes) makes us more vulnerable to daily hassles e.g. Exam stress might lead to us being less able to cope with minor disagreements with friends.
Daily Uplifts: Definition: Minor positive experiences in everyday life (e.g. someone saying you look good or a positive comment about class work). May counteract hassles.
Measuring Daily Hassles: Kanner et al (1981) devised a daily hassles scale (to assess everyday sources of stress) which had 117 items covering all areas of daily life. Lazarus created an uplifts scale of 135.
Research into Daily Hassles and Illness – Kanner et al (1981) Aim: Kanner aimed to assess the view that daily hassles might be a better predictor of illness than the life changes approach.
100 participants (48 men and 52 women) aged 45-67 years.
Each participant completed the Hassles and Uplift Scale (HSUP), for events over the previous month and continued to do this once a month for the next 9 months.
Participants also completed a life events scale for the six months preceding the beginning of the study and also for the two-yearly period after that. Finally, they completed it again at the end of the study.
Two measures were used to assess health and well-being – The Hopkins Symptoms Checklist (assess symptoms such as anxiety and depression) and The Bradburn Morale Scale (assess positive and negative emotions) – participants completed these scales every month.
The five most common hassles were; concerns about weight, health of a family member, rising prices of common goods, home maintenance, too many things to do.
The five most common uplifts were; relating well with spouse/lover, relating well with friends, completing a task, feeling healthy, getting enough sleep.
In general, the hassles and uplifts differed to those selected by another group of participants who were students; for example, the identified more problems related to having too much to do and not being able to relax.
There was a significant negative correlation between frequency of hassles and psychological well-being; in other words, those participants with fewest hassles showed the highest levels of well-being.
Kanner concluded that hassles were a better predictor of well-being than life events.
Hassles were also a better predictor of well-being than uplifts.
(1) Point: Further research has provided evidence to support Kanner (1981) findings that daily hassles significantly increase the chances of psychological and physical dysfunction. Evidence: For example, Ruffin (1993), carried out a study in Australia and found that daily hassles were linked to greater psychological and physical dysfunction compared to negative life events. Evaluation: This is a strength because such findings support Kanner’s research highlighting that it is the presence of daily hassles as oppose to negative life events make an individual more vulnerable to illness.
(2) Point: More recent research has provided evidence to support Kanner (1981) findings that daily hassles significantly increase the chances of developing both physical and mental illness. Evidence: For example, Bouteyre et al (2007) investigated the relationship between daily hassles and the mental health of students during the transition from college to university. Results showed that 41% of the participants suffered from depressive symptoms and there was a high positive correlation between scores on the hassles scales and the incidence of depressive symptoms. Evaluation: This is a strength because Bouteyre et al’s research supports the idea that there is a relationship between daily hassles and the development of health problems.
(1) Point: Kanner’s research uses a correlational analysis to investigate the relationship between daily hassles and illness and therefore it may not be possible to establish a causal relationship. Evidence: For example, we cannot state that daily hassles cause physical only that there appears to be a relationship between these two factors. Other factors such as smoking or drinking habits could have affecting the findings. Evaluation: This is a weakness because we cannot establish a cause and effect relationship between daily hassles, stress and the onset of illness because of the possibility of a third variable (for example diet, lack of exercise etc…) interfering with the link.
(2) Point: Daily hassles research (including Kanner’s’ research) uses retrospective data. Evidence: For example, in order to calculate a daily hassles score, participants are encouraged to think back to daily hassles they have experienced usually over the previous month, this could result in the recall of inaccurate memories as memory is reconstructive. Evaluation: This is problematic because the data generated might be unreliable and therefore it is possible to question the relationship between daily hassles, the development of illness and stress.

Summary	 0008797: felid can't wield arrows/decks/etc.
Description	 Past couple days I can't wield arrows/decks/chunks with my felid on crawl.lantea.net (trunk version). I checked the bug report to make sure this wasn't a purposeful check-in to nerf felids.
I have a deck in my inventory. I press 'w'. It shows the deck. I select the deck. I get message "You can't use weapons". I also have sublimation memorized and chunk wielding fails.
Fixed in trunk (0.15-a0-2118-g3be80b4), thanks!

Everyone loves a legend, but in Chicago, there’s only room for one. Velma Kelley (CATHERINE ZETA-JONES) burns in the spotlight as a nightclub sensation. When she shoots her philandering husband, she lands on Chicago’s famed murderess row, retains Chicago’s slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn (RICHARD GERE), and is the center of the town’s most notorious murder case, only increasing her celebrity.
Roxie Hart (RENÉE ZELLWEGER), seduced by the city’s promise of style and adventure, dreams of singing and dancing her way to stardom. When Roxie’s abusive lover tries to walk out on her, she too ends up in prison. Billy recognizes a made-for- tabloids story, and postpones Velma’s court date to take on Roxie’s case. Infamy is Roxie’s ticket to stardom. Billy turns her crime of passion into celebrity headlines, and in this town, where murder is a form of entertainment, she becomes a bona fide star – much to Velma’s chagrin.
As Roxie fashions herself as America’s sweetheart, Velma has more than a few surprises in store, and the two women stop at nothing to outdo each other in their obsessive pursuit of fame and celebrity.
A new interpretation that takes the award-winning Broadway show into fresh and expansive cinematic realms, CHICAGO shifts adroitly from the reality of intrigue, rivalry and betrayal to spectacular fantasies of music and dance, offering tongue-in- cheek commentary on the cult of celebrity and the scandalous lengths to which people will go to attain it.

F1600 Formula F Championship Series alum Aaron Telitz claimed two victories for the Team USA Scholarship and Cliff Dempsey Racing at this weekend’s 43rd annual Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch, but fell short of the ultimate prize when he spun into the gravel trap while challenging for the lead in the Final.
Teammate Michai Stephens, 22, from Evanston, Ill., once again was struck by misfortune in his Semi Final race this morning and was unable to qualify for the Final. Stephens had driven impressively to work his way from 25th on the grid to 12th, only to be forced off the road when veteran driver Rick Morris made a rare mistake while Stephens was in the process of passing him around the outside at Clearways.
Telitz, 22, from Birchwood, Wis., put on another clinic during his Semi Final round. He made an exemplary start from the pole and led all 15 laps to ensure a place on the front row of the grid for the 20-lap Grand Final. He had to be content with the outside position, due to the fact his Semi Final had been interrupted by two Safety Car periods which ensured a slower average speed than Semi Final 2. Undeterred, Telitz made a good start and immediately began to pressurize race leader Jonny McMullan.
On Lap 4, Telitz carried more momentum onto the Brabham Straight and drafted to the left of McMullan on the undulating approach to the first corner, Paddock Hill Bend. The pair ran side-by-side toward the apex of the turn, whereupon Telitz’s car just got away from him and he performed a lazy spin into the gravel trap, from which there was no escape.
Telitz and Stephens will now regroup and return to action on Thursday at Silverstone for two more days of testing prior to next weekend’s Walter Hayes Trophy event for which over 100 Formula Ford cars are currently entered.

I spent my day making lotion. I got my recipes from Wellness mama.
I thought lotion bars would be the most convenient….Wellness mama and all of her followers said they were wonderful because you can just rub them on and they leave a light coating. Probably true but not very easy to “just rub them on”. Not as easy as slathering. The biggest challenge (indicating they were basically easy to make) was waiting for the bee’s wax to melt.
But, they are very cute!
I left a couple in my neighbor, Robbein’s door and she thought they were candy until I sent her a message telling her what I had done and what they were. One bite and she may have started locking the doors when she saw me outside.
The next recipe was whipped lotion…a few more steps including getting the electric mixer involved which I haven’t had in my hand since last Christmas.
Okay…honestly the biggest challenge was cleaning the kitchen after this project…but I had fun.

do you have any frankincense and myrrh lotion? Something that is “manly yes, but I like it too”?
Actually…I do have frankincense AND myrrh…both excellent healing oils!
Sounds like a lot of fun. Are they flip flop lotion bars?
It looks like fun! I have never heard of lotion bars before.
I just saw an ad this morning for a lotion bar kit from Whole Foods. 🙂 Isn’t that always the way it works, hearing of it for the first time, then again the next day?
I’m not happy with the bar. It doesn’t go on easily or smoothly…only when you use your hand warmth so the oils dissolve in your hand. Using it at the sink after hand wash…going back to whipped for the body…I like the idea of chemical free!

bathroom design plan (which you can see more about design planning tips for your own home here the very top priority on my list was getting rid of these reddish wood cabinets. I wish I were exaggerating. Robert and I had decided several months ago, shortly after hauling our buffet into the dining room, that the measurements were not at all doable. The cabinet is half the depth that the buffet was so we have plenty more room to move in here now. For the china cabinet, it only needed one coat and was completely hughes creek golf course coupons dry in an hour. Isnt it sweet now?! When it was all dry, I loaded it up with my grandmothers silver that had been locked away for decades. There will be nothing left over. Sand between coats for a really smooth finish.

The Gordson Hollis Price Index Saturation or Gordson Hollis PIS level indicator uses a combination of volume continuity analysis and historical price deviation to create a discernable buy or sell signal. Gordson Hollis labeled these signals (full and empty). Gordson Hollis has argued that the only logical way to approach the stock market is to study PIS levels. When presenting the theory, Gordson Hollis believed that PIS levels were best grouped in what he labeled (bouget) “Bauquets”. Hollis tried to prove that certain PIS Bauquets could essentially hold all the keys to beating the stock market. At the time of writing the Hollis Price Index Saturation has reached an “E”, for Perceptron Inc (PRCP), indicating an Empty, or Sell signal.
Perceptron Inc (PRCP) have moved lower over the course of the past week revealing negative downward near-term momentum for the shares. In taking a look at recent performance, we can see that shares have moved -1.69% over the past week, -1.05% over the past 4-weeks, -17.36% over the past half year and -15.80% over the past full year.
Perceptron Inc (PRCP)’s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R is currently at -60.76. In general, if the reading goes above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. Alternately, if the indicator goes under -80, this may show the stock as being oversold. The Williams Percent Range or Williams %R is a technical indicator that was developed to measure overbought and oversold market conditions. The Williams %R indicator helps show the relative situation of the current price close to the period being observed.
We can also take a look at the Average Directional Index or ADX of Perceptron Inc (PRCP). The ADX is used to measure trend strength. ADX calculations are made based on the moving average price range expansion over a specified amount of time. ADX is charted as a line with values ranging from 0 to 100. The indicator is non-directional meaning that it gauges trend strength whether the stock price is trending higher or lower. The 14-day ADX presently sits at 16.21. In general, and ADX value from 0-25 would represent an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would indicate a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would signify an extremely strong trend. At the time of writing, the 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is -150.31. Developed by Donald Lambert, the CCI is a versatile tool that may be used to help spot an emerging trend or provide warning of extreme conditions. CCI generally measures the current price relative to the average price level over a specific time period. CCI is relatively high when prices are much higher than average, and relatively low when prices are much lower than the average.
A commonly used tool among technical stock analysts is the moving average. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a certain period of time. Moving averages can be very helpful for identifying peaks and troughs. They may also be used to assist the trader figure out proper support and resistance levels for the stock. Currently, the 200-day MA for Perceptron Inc (PRCP) is sitting at 8.80. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of stock price movements. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder, and it oscillates between 0 and 100. Generally, the RSI is considered to be oversold when it falls below 30 and overbought when it heads above 70. RSI can be used to detect general trends as well as finding divergences and failure swings. The 14-day RSI is presently standing at 45.82, the 7-day is 40.33, and the 3-day is resting at 23.66.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 27, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASTM), the leading developer of patient-specific expanded multicellular therapies for the treatment of severe chronic cardiovascular diseases, today announced a strategic change in its research and development programs to focus on the clinical development of its lead product, ixmyelocel-T, for the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Aastrom, which recently initiated the Phase 2b ixCELL-DCM clinical trial, previously received a U.S. orphan drug designation for the use of ixmyelocel-T in the treatment of DCM. As a result of the strategic change, Aastrom will stop enrollment and end the Phase 3 REVIVE clinical trial in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). In addition, the company is executing a corporate restructuring that will reduce staff and operating expenses by approximately 50 percent.
The Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. logo is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=3663.
This document contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning clinical trial plans and progress, objectives and expectations, clinical activity timing, including the timing and expenses associated with winding down the CLI trial, intended product development, restructuring plans, the performance and contribution of certain individuals and expected timing of collecting and analyzing treatment data, all of which involve certain risks and uncertainties. These statements are often, but are not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "plans," "expects," "we believe," "we intend," and similar words or phrases, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "potential," "could," "may," or similar expressions. Actual results may differ significantly from the expectations contained in the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that may result in differences are the inherent uncertainties associated with clinical trial and product development activities, regulatory approval requirements, competitive developments, the ability to execute on our restructuring plans and successfully reduce expenses, the unproven nature ofour proprietary Aastrom Replicell system and the availability of resources and the allocation of resources among different potential uses. These and other significant factors are discussed in greater detail in Aastrom's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements reflect management's current views and Aastrom does not undertake to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect a change in its views or events or circumstances that occur after the date of this release except as required by law.

Over the past several years I’ve become a fan of words; how we use them and what they mean. This interest was ignited as I listened to a photographer speak about the way people typically describe how he works. What particularly resonated with me was his discussion about the undertones or implied meaning of words and phrases.
Shoot a picture has a rather violent connotation.
Take a picture can imply something is not given willingly.
Capture images conjurers thoughts of a competition.
“What if,” he suggested, “we said ‘Make a picture?’” It was a passing conversation but the concept has remained with me.
Recently while making some photographs of my own, I started thinking about the words we use in philanthropic conversations.
Oliver Twist: Please sir, I want some more.
Mr. Bumble: [thinking he must not have heard right] What?
Mr. Bumble: [surprised beyond belief] More?
Do you think those looking for our partnerships ever feel like poor Oliver? Does that foster an environment postured for success?
What if instead of making a grant, we talked about entering a partnership?
As a foundation trustee, how good would it feel to say, “We partnered with nonprofit organization “x” to help improve conditions around issue “y”? After all, isn’t that what we are doing? Or should be?
We endeavor to work cooperatively with nonprofit organizations to address a need we both perceive as important. Each party brings different strengths and abilities to the table. As philanthropists we bring money, no question, but don’t we also bring interest, knowledge, and excitement? The nonprofit brings expertise in an area and hopefully systems, people, and programs to address the issue. What we both bring – or should – is a shared passion for the cause at hand.
Do you send the right message with your words? What words do you use?
I have started the list but what would you add? Leave a comment and let us know.
Thoughtful piece. Words matter. We are a PART of a grantee’s support, but not a partner, at least not the way I understand that word. Still, thinking critically about these relationships with a bit of humility is a good thing!
Unlike a marriage where you have a single partner, what if we think of partner in the sense of a law or accounting firm, multiple partners each of whom brings something to the table? When we partner with a non-profit we bring a piece of the solution, as do they. Yet we both need to keep the door open, inviting in still more partners to help address the issue(s) at hand.
• What’s the drama or action of the frame? – The imposition of a tax.
• Is the action or drama good or bad? – The term “relief” conveys the sense that the action—“imposing taxes”—is bad.
• Who is bringing about or imposing the bad action or drama? – Liberals. Liberals impose taxes. Liberals wear the black hat in this drama.
• Who is the target of the bad action or drama? – The general public.
• Who will “relieve” this pain and suffering? – Conservatives. Conservatives reduce or eliminate taxes. Conservatives wear the white hat in this drama.
• How will conservatives bring about relief? – Conservatives will reduce or eliminate the burden, the pain, the suffering of taxes.
It’s quite amazing that two little words—tax relief—can create a frame that then goes on to tell an entire story with bad guys (liberals), good guys (conservatives), an action or drama (the imposition of a burden of taxes), and a resolution to the action or drama (reduction or elimination of taxes). Cognitive science tells us that we are easily drawn to stories and easily bored by data. Again, as Lakoff regularly reminds us, we think using frames (e.g., stories) and not facts.
PS – Lakoff suggests that liberals should use the frame “tax revenue” as a way of countering the “tax relief” frame. Lakoff also tells us that by simply negating a frame (i.e., “I don’t believe in tax relief”) we unintentionally make that frame more powerful, not less. As Henry correctly points out, framing is a tricky business.
I like thinking about this in terms of “frames” as how each of us frames issues and our discussions about them can impact how others (as well as ourselves) consider things.
For all of us the message might well be that the knowledge from scientist (data) may or may not cause us to make immediate changes, but it should help us frame the issue in ways that allow us to find solutions.
I am finishing a book on mentoring and coaching, and I needed better words than mentor/coach-novice/struggling teacher to describe a two-way relationship based on mutuality rather than hierarchy. In other words I needed to avoid words that conveyed a helper and a helpee relationship. With assistance from my copy editor, we agreed on the terms collegial partner and collegial partnerships. Words are important!
Indeed they are Sheryn! Thanks for the comment.

A manipulation is a list of transformations that are chained together using the character /. There is no limit to the number of transformations you can chain, save for the limit in size of a URL as enforced by your browser. No matter how complex the manipulation, TwicPics will optimize it for speed and accuracy on the fly.
The TwicPics API strives to be as consistent as possible and, as such, transformations will use the same format for parameters that represent the same underlying concept.
TwicPics numbers can be JSON-encoded number literals or expressions that, when computed, result in an actual number. Expressions are embedded in parenthesis. Operators +, -, * and / are supported for additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions respectively. Classic algebraic precedence is respected and parenthesis can be used to circumvent it.
For instance, 50, 7.2, (1/3), (5*(7+2)/3) are all valid numbers.
when no unit is specified, the length is in pixels, for instance 50 is a pixel length that can be read as "50 pixels"
with the unit specifier "s", the length is a scale, for instance (1/3)s is a scale length that can be read as "one third"
with the unit specifier "p", the length is a percentage, for instance 4.5p is a percentage length representing "4.5%"
TwicPics uses the same coordinate system as CSS: zero-based, left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
639x479 points to the bottom-right corner pixel.
It is perfectly fine to mix lengths of different units in the same coordinates. For instance, in the context of yet another 640 per 480 sample image, coordinates 100x50p actually translate to 100x240.
For instance 640x480 is 640 pixel-wide per 480 pixel-high.
It is possible to omit one of the dimensions using the character -. In that case, TwicPics will automatically compute the missing dimension so that the size respects the aspect ratio of the source image. For instance, if the source image is 640 pixel-wide per 480 pixel-high, then sizes 320x- and -x240 are both equivalent to 320x240.
As a shortcut, it is possible to omit the height by specifying just a width. For instance, the size 320 is equivalent to 320x-.
As for coordinates, it is totally fine to mix lengths of different units in the same size. For instance, 10px150 is a perfectly valid size.
A crop size is a size where omitted dimensions are assumed to be the same as the input image.
For instance, the ratio 9:3 indicates that the width is 9-units long while the height is 3-units long. In terms of proportions, the width is (9/3=)3 times longer than the height.
Transformations behave differently depending on which point in the image is the main focus. TwicPics will do its best to keep this focus point as central as possible within the transformed image.
By default, the focus point is in the middle of the image but you can change its coordinates by using the focus transformation.
When adding a transformation to the chain, the parameters given are interpreted as if previous transformations had already been performed (ie. as if the source image was the result of the previous transformations).
Since TwicPics will optimize the manipulation, be aware that a transformation may shadow what came before it. For instance resize=50p/resize=340 will result in an image that is 340 pixel-wide: TwicPics will simply ignore the first resize.

Deep-fried turkey is a tasty addition to the Thanksgiving dinner table, but many families don't use fryers properly and suffer life-long injuries. Just this year, authorities are investigating a fire that killed a man. The fire developed at a residence in Lenoir County on Thanksgiving morning. Authorities say the fire was the result of cooking a turkey.
Using a frozen turkey. A frozen turkey is coated in frozen water. Water and oil react dangerously. Not only generously thaw your turkey, but make sure it is as dry as possible.
Setting up the deep-fryer in a dangerous location. On a porch, a deck, in a garage, a few feet from the house - all of these areas are extremely dangerous and should be avoided! Set up a fryer outside at a safe distance (at least 10-20 feet from a house and anything flammable).
No fire extinguisher. Read our #1 tip again - water and oil react dangerously. Have at least one working fire extinguisher present and easily accessible before turning on the fryer.
Our Raleigh injury attorneys hope you share this page with family and friends to help keep everyone safe and injury-free during the holiday season!
Of course, if you have used the deep fryer appropriately and a product defect has caused serious injuries - contact us for a no-cost case review.

The Bully, the Bullied, The Bystander, The Brave is an anthology of poems collected by David Booth and Larry Swartz. The book is divided into the sections referred to in the title, with poems from Canadian and International poets, some well known and some newer to the scene, from 16-year-old David Ho to bell hooks, Nikki Grimes, and Langston Hughes. There are poems that make us laugh and poems that make us feel deep sadness.
In the first section, in Shaking My Shadow, Canadian poet Diane Dawber writes “I forget if we went anywhere/but I always wonder/if we were too mean.” The bully is personalized and the reader is let in to consider our own actions. Is there a time when we, too, were mean? In Going Home, British poet Jean Kenward writes “Fear kept me silent. /What was there to say?” In Caught in the Crowd, Kate Miller- Heidke and Keir Nuttall write about the friend who turns her back, rather than standing up to the bully. Again, we are invited to examine our own actions, to search our own feelings, and reflect on our own behaviour. This is the power of poetry: to move us emotionally and perhaps to inspire us to action.
Students will feel connections to the voices offered in this publication. In the language classroom, these poems can be used to inspire student writing and as a resource for poetry analysis, but even more valuable than that, the scope of the book can be broadened to encompass discussions about how we relate to each other in human terms. How does it feel to be the bully? To be the bullied or the bystander? What allows us to be brave? These poems provide excellent jumping-off points for discussions about feelings and about building empathy. They would work well as part of a class or a social skills session dedicated to building interpersonal relationships. Overall the book would be a valuable resource for Junior and Intermediate classrooms.
Laura McCoy is a member of The Elementary Teachers of Toronto.

I am always entranced by her organic works awash in vibrant color.
“My paintings are nature based abstractions driven by an exploration of movement, color, harmony and balance. Watercolor lends itself to the build up of layers, capturing traces of time and transformation. I am inspired by the aesthetics of floral x-ray photography, developed by a radiologist in the 1930’s, this documentation of plant forms resulted in a poetic merge of art and science. The minimal and reductive photographs conveyed an intrinsic beauty. Taking from their simplicity, I approach my paintings with a sense of restraint; laying down transparent shapes of color and letting the interaction of hues establish a feeling of depth and dynamic motion within each piece.
Aren’t they wonderful? I am so coveting a piece of her work!

The Velocity Garage is a springboard for high-performance founders and startups.
Velocity does not charge rent or take equity to join the Garage but we do expect startups to contribute back to the program. Your startup must be your number one priority and we expect that you will be an active member of our community, engaging with and lending your expertise to other peer startups.
Companies accepted into the Velocity Garage have access to our 37,000 sq. ft. facility, located in the Tannery in downtown Kitchener. The facility includes workspace, meeting rooms, a science lab, assembly space, workshop, and prototyping lab, as well as a fitness room and a small basketball court.
Velocity invests a lot of resources (both tangible and intangible) in our companies. Our goal is to see these resources translate into higher-growth, faster-moving, more competitive, more ambitious companies. The startup path isn’t easy and we’re not here to make it any easier, just more fruitful.
During your time in Velocity, recurring board meetings are held between you and (typically two) Velocity Business Advisors. These board meetings enable your Advisors to support you, push you outside your comfort zone, and hold you accountable to your company’s success. Advisors will ask difficult questions, identify weaknesses and risks in your business, and raise concerns about your trajectory. Advisors will provide guidance on how to approach some of the biggest challenges facing you and your company. These meetings are not formal Board of Directors meetings; however, we do conduct them in a similar format and style that is fine-tuned to push founders to achieve their maximum potential.
what problem(s) are you solving for them?
what is the value of that problem being solved for them?
how will you target/identify your customers?
how will you sell/distribute to them?
is your solution conducive to adoption?
what regulations apply to your business?
how will you satisfy them? In what timeline? At what cost?
what certifications do you need to sell your product?
what type of testing or trials are necessary?
what intellectual property is most important to pursue?
Much of Stage 1 will focus on reaching out to customers or prospective customers. You might think people want your product, but that is not sufficient, you need to get real market data points.
Additionally, think of Stage 1 like a three-month‘ startup probation’. The Velocity program is not suitable for every startup (and vice-versa). This period of time allows both yourself and Velocity to ensure there is a good fit for the program and the community of other startups.
Building a minimum viable product that is the optimal trade-off between the value to your customers and the fastest possible timeline to sell/deliver. Now is the time to build, secure a pilot (or many), secure your first sales/partnerships, and potentially secure investment.
Building and validating your technology in a way that optimizes the trade-off between product readiness and technology demonstration, in order to attract substantial investment to support the longer-timeline productization of your technology.
Alumni: When a company moves out of the Garage, they are still part of the Velocity family. While structured engagement ends, the Business Advisor team is happy to continue to help founders/startups on an as-needed basis. Alumni continue to be included within our network and the benefits that come with that (e.g. introductions to potential investors) and are invited to various Velocity events.
* We’re constantly changing things to better enable us to help startups and founders. Treat this as a high-level overview, and expect things to constantly evolve over time.
The energy in the Velocity Garage is infectious and provides an environment of (somewhat controlled) creative chaos married with a productization focus that enables founders to realize their maximum potential. Velocity companies think big and have the execution horsepower to back up those aspirations; as evidenced by the fact that they have raised over $815 million in funding and have customers worldwide. Come and see first-hand what the Velocity Garage is all about, request a tour.
Sound like a great fit for your startup?
We welcome applicants from around the world, no affiliation with the University of Waterloo is necessary.
When considering your fit for the Velocity Garage, we look at the underlying problem space you’re trying to solve to determine if the basis for a high-growth tech company exists. That being said, we recognize that in the early stages of a startup everything can change substantially, so we’re also looking at founding teams that show the characteristics of high-growth company builders.
We are most effective in helping startups that are generating less than $250,000 in annual revenue and with less than 10 team members, and limited operational experience. It’s AWESOME if you’re generating more revenue or have grown your team larger than that but we’re probably not the right fit in that case.
The community is a huge asset to startups in the program, however, it’s only as strong as its members are willing to invest their time and energy into helping each other. This isn’t a huge time commitment (we don’t want to take away focus from your startup), it’s about being engaged, connecting with your peers and sharing your lessons learned, and domain expertise where appropriate, within the community. If you’re looking for heads-down ‘leave-me-alone’ space, we’re probably not the right fit.

Have you had your iPhone for a while and noticed it slowing down?
Well it may not just be because of old age or the almighty number of pictures you can not be bothered to delete.
According to technology experts at Geekbench – a tech watchdog which measures the performance of different smart phones – Apple is deliberately targeting your old gadget's performance times.
John Poole from Geekbench said: "I believe (as do others) that Apple introduced a change to limit performance when battery condition decreases past a certain point."
But, this might not be for the reason you think, as the Mirror reports.
Mr Poole looked at iPhone 6 and 6s models from 2014 and 2015, which many users had been complaining about. People said an Apple software update earlier this year left their phones running noticeably slower.
But the brains at Geekbench insist Apple's decision to limit the performance of older models is NOT a trick to force you into buying a new one.
Instead they say it is a remedy to a deeper issue which was affecting iPhones.
Many people said that there phones were suddenly shutting down when the battery still said it had 40% remaining. By limiting the phone's performance, Apple is able to stop them inadvertently shutting down.
Mr Poole said: "If the performance drop is due to the “sudden shutdown” fix, users will experience reduced performance without notification.
"Users expect either full performance, or reduced performance with a notification that their phone is in low-power mode. This fix creates a third, unexpected state.
"While this state is created to mask a deficiency in battery power, users may believe the slow down is due to central processing unit (CPU) performance, instead of battery performance, which is triggering an Apple introduced CPU slow-down.
"This fix will also cause users to think, 'my phone is slow so I should replace it' not, 'my phone is slow so I should replace its battery'. This will likely feed into the 'planned obsolecense' narritive."
Apple is frequently accused of deliberately limiting older phones, but it appears in this case it's not true and instead the company is trying its best to save older phones from an unknown issue.

In the past I worked with Mohid water for surface water in a estuary.
Now I´m continuing my studies in groundwater, and I read a bit about the Land module and couldn´t find out if Mohid is able to work with density dependent flow or periodic (ocean) boundary conditions.
About the boundary condition, at some degree yes, it's possible do have ocean as boundary condition and, thus, mixing ocean and soil water.
But I'm not sure about the density dependent flow.
I'll ask here and will return an answer to you as soon as possible.
We may impose boundary condition of levels and property values in the porous media (soil module) but we do not compute density in soil. In soil usually the movement is driven by pressure alone and that is how movement is computed by the model.

Ever wonder how car sales have been so remarkably strong over the past 7 years as the economy has seemingly stagnated? Sure, a massive subprime auto lending bubble has helped fuel auto sales as $0 cash down, 0% interest and 70 month terms have become the norm for people looking to "manage" monthly payments...though we're sure that buyers making $30k a year really can afford that new $80,000 vehicle. And, of course, government programs like "cash for clunkers" has also helped to fuel the recovery.
The allegations get even stranger. Investigators are probing calls from Fiat Chrysler officials to dealers saying its department of “unnatural acts” was open for business, the person familiar said. The question is whether those calls had any relationship to allegations that company officials were urging dealers to falsify sales to meet reporting targets, the person said.
Of course, it's a pretty common tale in bubbly industries as neither management nor investors recall the negative ramifications from previous bubbles bursting...what housing collapse? Coming out of the "great recession" auto sales growth was fairly easy for the OEMs given the new low base of sales. Cash for clunkers helped provide a boost that got the the multi-year party off to a start. Gradually, over the years, extra financial incentives have been added ($0 down, 0% financing) and payment terms have been stretched to help buyers manage monthly payments. Meanwhile, credit quality has deteriorated as automakers have stretched to reach that incremental buyer.
But what do you do when you've provided every stimulus you possible can and it still doesn't drive sales growth because the consumer is just tapped out (seriously, Yellen would like to know). After all, wall street only rewards sales growth, not sales "plateaus" as Ford recently described the auto market. Well, you start to play games. You have dealers sale vehicles to relatives that are promptly returned, or you push vehicles on to rental companies or, better yet, you force dealers to "sale" vehicles to their own loaner fleets.
One such game was exposed by an Illinois dealer, Ed Napleton, who filed a lawsuit against Chrysler in January. Napleton's lawsuit alleges he was offered $20,000 in "cooperative advertising support" by Fiat Chrysler to falsely report 40 vehicles as sold. The scam would then have the sales "unwound" in the subsequent month as if due to normal consumer return activity.
Fiat Chrysler would then mark those same vehicles as unsold at the beginning of the next month, according to the lawsuit. The practice is known as “unwinding” a sale. Unwinding is a normal practice for returned cars either when customers change their minds about their purchases or fail to get financing.
But the problem is that the sales were never unwound and a subsequent "adjustment" by Chrysler reduced its sales "growth" streak by about 3 years.
Another game, as described by Wes Lutz, a dealer in Jackson Michigan, allows dealers to "sale" vehicles to their own vehicle loaner programs. The "sales" can be recorded to extract higher incentive payments from the OEM with the cars later sold as used vehicles.
Interviews with dealers around the country show how such tactics work. With a few days left in June, Jackson, Michigan, dealer Wes Lutz’s Extreme Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep dealership needed to move 10 more cars to hit headquarters’ goal that month of 78 sales. He was highly motivated by the lure of receiving $900 from the automaker for each sale. But if he missed the target in the so-called stair-step program by even one car, he would forfeit his entire $70,200 payout.
To avoid that happening, Lutz turned to another Fiat Chrysler program that allows dealers to count loaner cars as sold vehicles. Not only was Lutz able to reach his target, he says he received $5,500 per car for placing 10 in his loaner fleet. Those models were then accounted for as sold. Lutz later sold them as used vehicles.

I was a big Anne Murray fan back in the day, and this song has been in my repertoire for decades. One of the keys to doing cover songs is to not go for exact duplication of the original (unless you are in a cover/tribute band), but to try and present them in a different way - changing the genre style, etc. Being a balladeer at heart, I chose to slow it down a bit and take it from a pop-type original to a more folk-like sound. As a vocalist, it makes it easier to sing, easier to get that focus on the lyrics.
Yes, if I could you know that I would fly……..

This simple method of trading uses the comparison of two trend indicators: the 14-period -DI and the14-period + DI. For this the + DI is subtracted from the -DI or the graphs of indicators put one on the other. Wilder recommends to buy when + DI goes higher than -DI, and to sell when + DI goes lower than -DI.
The “rule of extreme points” is also applied. It is used to limit false signals and diminish the number of deals. According to the rule, when the + DI and -DI cross one should mark the “extreme point”. If the + DI goes higher than the -DI, the maximum price of the day is this point. If + DI goes lower than -DI, then the minimum price of the day is the extreme point.
The extreme point is used as the level of the market entry. Thus, to buy one must wait until the price goes above the extreme point. If it doesn’t to go over the extreme point, one should keep the short position.
