My decision to attend the Highlights Foundation Writing and Illustrating Nature and Science for Kids and Teens retreat could not have come at a better time. As of writing this, I am only one month removed from my date of separation from Air Force active duty. The transition has been more difficult than I expected. For this reason, I knew I needed to meet and connect with other creatives, and to dive deeply each day into exploring what was possible for my storytelling. You can learn a lot on your own, but creativity is inherently collaborative. All the work we create now is in dialogue with artists and writers who have come before and work alongside us. I needed to be amongst fellow writers and illustrators and grow my community.
When I got to the campus, I found my way to my delightful little cabin. The interior was decorated with memorabilia from Jane Yolen who has written over 400 books for children! I was thrilled to be surrounded by her poetry, advice, and books. When I walked around campus, I discovered plenty of spots to tuck away and work. I discovered The Word Garden, with tons of rocks inscribed with various words or symbols. Perfect for assembling poetry or sentences! I also spent hours in The Art Coop – a chicken coop turned art studio! I walked the halls of the Lodge and Barn, which had original works of art hanging on the walls from prominent illustrators. I will admit…seeing work signed by Eric Carle made me feel daunted! It reminded me of walking the halls of the Air Force Academy or Pentagon, where massive paintings tell the history of those who have come before and shaped the institution. I had to remind myself that the work of those whose books lined the shelves of the library and whose art hung on the wall had all started exactly where I was now: square one, one book released, very first retreat ever.
Our daily classes flew by, and we got to explore “STEAM by the Stream” where I sketched on a rock right above the water flowing by. We stargazed at night and learned about the Perseid meteor shower. Stars shot overhead, the space station meandered across the sky, and satellites flew by – all against the backdrop of the Milky Way. I learned so much in just a few days… how to stop and really see what inspiration is within reach. How to draw forth that inspiration and write for different age groups, in different styles, and for different segments of the book industry. I was given so many tools for storytelling, I know it will take months to feel them all sink into my writing practice. I want that knowledge to settle deep within my bones.
So much of the creative process is mastering your own internal flow for bringing ideas forth. Often (especially early in the process) ideas may get shot down by other people as “strange, not going to work, good luck with that etc.” This is often why I am very careful not to spread my new story ideas too widely in the beginning, because they are tender at that stage. The book dummies I brought to the retreat explore mycology, marine biology, and somnology. After receiving excellent feedback from instructors, I see that each story has a long way to go! Barely brought forth from the universe, I must trust in the value of my ideas until they stand on their own. Entering into community with my fellow writers and illustrators strengthened the ideas I have for my next three books and gave me the insight necessary to bring them forth. My world has expanded significantly with more ways to improve my storytelling.
The first piece of advice I ever give anyone who wants to pursue a creative path is this: dial into the community that shares your interests. Do not try to do this alone. Even knowing this, I hadn’t realized how badly I needed to grow my creative community until I sat amongst my classmates and reveled in their ideas and talents. Something clicked into place for me on this trip regarding identity. When I looked at my classmates, all of them had amazing careers in STEM, education and many even had PhDs. All of them were actively pursuing their creativity by weaving together all the different aspects of their identities and interests. A passion for the weather led one of my classmates, a Meteorologist, to write a book educating children about storms!
I wondered “what if… the dichotomy I always perceived from within the military… wasn’t the whole picture?” You know what I mean, that whole concept of “creative versus not creative.” I always believed we are all creative, but that some people have more trouble than others accessing it in a rigid system of hierarchy. But…if we are all inherently creative… what if we find ways to express that creativity through the interweaving of all our identities, rather than the singular selection of an identity?
I think the strongest potential for our self-expression lies within the intersection of all our identities and unique interests.
No one else has that unique combination of passions and lived experience that you do. This is why no one can tell the stories or make the art or music you uniquely can. It’s not that you “are or are not” creative, it is that you have (or have not yet) woven together your experiences and interests in such a way as to pull inspiration from them.
The Highlights Foundation Campus is a place where everything feels possible. It has this insane energy… like a cross between Disney Land and the Vatican… an energy of spiritual possibility. Reverence. The ideas you have are automatically honored and accepted by your fellow creatives, no doubt whatsoever. It is a place where you can receive honest critique on how to improve your work, with no threat of someone diminishing or shooting down your ideas. This is a rare thing, and it’s not something you often find when bringing your ideas to life. Attending the retreat was life changing. When you feel present in your full potential and meet others equally within theirs, anything can happen. Stories. Movies. Dreams. Book magic is strange, but it is very real. We cannot begin to imagine what is possible for us until we take our daring first step – a concrete act of belief in what has not yet been made real. Whatever steps you decide to take in the direction of your dreams, know that all of us walk alongside you in full belief in what you are making possible!

WEIRD SCIENCE FANTASY #29 (1955)
Often called the greatest comic book cover of all time, it's tough to argue against this masterpiece by Frank Frazetta. Originally executed as a Buck Rogers cover for Famous Funnies (and rejected due to its extreme violence), Frazetta's composition leads your eye immediately into the area of maximum impact, with the dark cliff wall framing the man's figure and his cudgel exploding into negative space with the battered Neanderthal. Fritz misses nothing--even the angle of the club, the flying debris and the birds serve to complete the savage arc frozen in time. The forms, the body language, the design and colors all work together to create a sense of menace, intensity and brutality. Although this cover would probably be better served as a full size picture, the masthead and border image help give notice that what you see inside will indeed be unique. Interestingly, this was the only piece of artwork ever returned to any artist during the EC years. Frazetta was so happy with the finished piece that he made publisher Bill Gaines an offer: contrary to regular practice wherein Bill kept all the artwork, Frank agreed to take less money simply for the reproduction rights if he could keep the art. Gaines accepted and returned the cover to Frazetta after publication for a savings of about $50. Many years later, Frazetta said he had then been offered $50,000 for the legendary pen-and-ink piece, but turned it down.


The Shop on the Borderlands is a brand new website, developed by Clare Associates, selling secondhand, classic and out-of-print roleplaying games* online.
We produced the site using the WordPress content management system and the WooCommerce ecommerce plugin from WooThemes. That’s a very powerful combination for an ecommerce site and also a very well-supported one. Crucially for the business owner, both WordPress and the WooCommerce plugin are very easy to maintain. Once the shop is built, you won’t need to be an expert web developer to keep your stock up to date and handle orders.
We built this site from the ground up with one key objective – we want to make it as easy as possible for visitors to the site to find what they want to and then to buy it. With several hundred different products in stock, that first point – making it easy to find what you’re looking for – is vital.
We decided early on that since this was first and foremost a shop, the home page of the website should simply be the shop page rather than an introduction to the business. We have a simple one line explanation at the top of the page (“Welcome to the UK’s best selection of second hand and out-of-print role-playing games. Wish you’d bought that boxed set, adventure or supplement that you saw in a tiny games shop in 1985 and never found again? Well, now you can.”) and a link at the bottom of the page to “About The Shop on the Borderlands”. Apart from that, what most visitors will see when they first arrive is different categories of product, arranged both as a simple list on the left of the page and as a grid of images in the centre.
The entire site – but especially this page – has been designed to be responsive, and works just as well at different resolutions and screen shapes, for example on smartphones.
Because of the shape of smartphones and their touchscreens, people are more likely to scroll down a long page than they would be on a laptop. So on a smartphone, the Shop on the Borderlands site is tall and thin and scrollable, and this is achieved without having to have a separate mobile site. (Separate mobile sites cost more to maintain, don’t perform as well in search engine rankings and make it awkward to share links with users who aren’t using mobile devices.)
The shop’s customers will mostly be enthusiasts who know what these categories mean, so we make it very easy for someone who plays ‘Call of Cthulhu’ to click through to a list of all the Call of Cthulhu products on sale.
Clicking on any of the products takes you to the detailed entry for that product complete with one or more images and more details about the item and its condition.
WooCommerce makes stock control easy. Items that are sold out can be set to show as ‘out of stock’ or hidden until new stock arrives, according to the wishes of the business owner.
Because the site was developed using WordPress – a content management system famous for its ease of use – editing individual pages is very easy for the business owner. If you can edit a Word document, you can edit a WordPress webpage. With this site, the business owner was able to do much of the site development himself – entering product details, uploading product images, writing the text on the FAQ page etc. If you hire a web developer to build you a website and you’re looking to keep costs down, this can be very effective. (Of course if you’re just starting up a new business, you might be short on both cash and time…)
A couple of other things you’ll have to think about if you’re starting a new ecommerce business, or if you’re taking your existing business online for the first time: shipping and payment.
First of all, what will you charge for shipping? Will you charge different rates for different products (heavier ones for example)? Will you ship overseas? If so, which countries? And what will your rates be to those? if you’ve never sold online before and if you’ve never exported before, those are difficult questions to answer. You will need to research this properly. You should also talk to your web developer – the more complicated the shipping costs setup, the more work there is for the developer in setting this up. Also, even using something like WooCommerce, you may have to purchase extra plugins to handle the particular distinctions in shipping costs that you want.
The Shop on the Borderlands ships worldwide. They offer free shipping to UK orders of £20 or more, with a flat rate of £2.50 below that amount. European shipping is charged at a flat rate of £12. Shipping to the rest of the world costs £15 plus £5 per item (reflecting the extra costs of worldwide shipping).
Secondly, how will you take payment online? Online shoppers will expect to pay by debit or credit card. Depending on the sort of customers you have, they may want to pay by PayPal too. To take payments online, you need a payment gateway. There are dozens of different payment gateways out there that can integrate with WooCommerce. You will need to research which one is right for you. They each charge you different amounts for each transaction. Some have a monthly fee, some don’t. We will be able to advise which is right for your business. As a rule though, avoid ones where your site handles card data. You want all of the card data handling to be done by big businesses who spend lots of money on IT security, even if it means that the customer leaves your website for a moment to enter their card details.
For The Shop on the Borderlands, we recommended PayPal Standard as the payment gateway as it offered the best combination of low fees and the ability to pay by PayPal, something which would be important for many of the shop’s customers.
One final thing that we did for The Shop on the Borderlands was to design a logo for them. The owner had a vague idea in his mind of what sort of theme he was going for – something inspired by the covers of late 70s / early 80s Dungeons & Dragons books – but not much else. So we were able to design an original logo with a similar typeface, the ‘S’ turned into a dragon, and a horned helmet at a jaunty angle perched on the ‘B’. Oh, and as a final little gimmick, the image at the top of the page changes ever so slightly every time!
* Games like Dungeons & Dragons that you play with like-minded individuals and funny-shaped dice.

LIGHT, COLOUR AND SPEED: A BRIGHTLY CHROMATIC EXPRESSION OF THE HIGH-FREQUENCY CHRONOGRAPH IN THE DEFY 21 CHROMA
Through the DEFY collection, ZENITH’s most innovative and forward-thinking line, the Manufacture has developed a unique expertise when it comes to colours where least expected. Whether its dazzling gem-set pieces, its DEFY 21 Ultra series of highly chromatic movements or even artistic collaborations, the imagination is the only limit when translating high-frequency chronometry into frequencies of light and colour. With the new DEFY 21 Chroma, the Manufacture is once again expressing this notion in its purest and brightest form yet.
Since white isn’t a colour itself, but a combination of all the colours in the visible light range, it was only natural to craft the DEFY 21 Chroma’s case in white ceramic with an all-over matte finish to provide a perfect contrast and further accentuate the colours within. The sapphire crystal gives way to a refracted rainbow spread evenly across the open dial and movement, with a perfectly transitioning gradient of colours spanning the entire colour spectrum, starting with red at 12 o’clock then shifting through orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and pink in a clockwise manner. The meticulously applied colours on the markers and 1/100 of a second scale extend beyond the dial and out of the case, with the crown’s rubber grip ring as well as the white cordura-effect rubber strap’s stitching following the colour arrangement of the dial. This also extends to the chronograph counter hands, each tipped in a different tone.
Vastly open and allowing a view into the ingenious 1/100th of a second chronograph movement beneath, the dial features raised white chronograph counters matching the case, beneath which the extraordinarily decorated movement shines through. Each bridge is finished in a different metallic colour, again following the gradient of the dial’s markers.
Visible through the sapphire case back, one can admire the singular El Primero 21 automatic high-frequency 1/100th of a second chronograph that’s at the peak of performance and precision, featuring two independent regulating organs and gear trains for the timekeeping and chronograph functions, operating at frequencies of 5Hz (36’000 VpH) and 50Hz (360’000 VpH), respectively.
Limited to 200 pieces and available at ZENITH boutiques and authorized retailers around the world, the DEFY 21 Chroma demonstrates the Manufacture’s mastery of the high-frequency automatic 1/100th of a second chronograph, while adding an unprecedented and playfully vibrant palette of colours where least expected for a high-performance chronograph with truly no equal.
ZENITH: TIME TO REACH YOUR STAR.
ZENITH exists to inspire individuals to pursue their dreams and make them come true – against all odds. Since its establishment in 1865, ZENITH became the first watch manufacture in the modern sense of the term, and its watches have accompanied extraordinary figures that dreamt big and strived to achieve the impossible – from Louis Blériot’s history-making flight across the English Channel to Felix Baumgartner’s record-setting stratospheric free-fall jump. ZENITH is also highlighting visionary and trailblazing women – past and present – by celebrating their accomplishments and creating the DREAMHERS platform where women share their experiences and inspire others to fulfill their dreams.
ZENITH exclusively uses its own in-house developed and manufactured movements across all of its watches. Since the creation of the El Primero in 1969, the world’s first automatic chronograph calibre, ZENITH has gone on to master the complication with even more precision, capable of measurements to the closest 1/10th of a second in the most recent Chronomaster lines, and 1/100th of a second in the DEFY collection. ZENITH has been shaping the future of Swiss watchmaking since 1865, accompanying those who dare to challenge themselves and break barriers. The time to reach your star is now.

Northern Rock has kindly donated its giant ‘Sign the Stripes’ Newcastle United football shirt to the Newcastle United Supporters’ Trust (NUST). The Trust is auctioning the giant shirt – which is signed by thousands of ‘Toon’ fans from all over the world – to raise money to help with the launch and development of the Junior branch of the Trust – JUSTNewcastle.
The giant shirt made its first appearance at the Boxing Day fixture at St James’ Park, where it was passed through the East Stand crowd just before the game. It has also appeared on the centre spot at a number of other Newcastle United matches prior to kick off.
At a special event held on Monday 21st February 2011 at Northern Rock’s head office in Gosforth, Andy Tate, Customer and Commercial Director at Northern Rock, handed over the 10m x 15m shirt to NUST Chair, Norman Watson.
Norman Watson, Chair NUST said: “This is a very generous donation from Northern Rock and will be used by the Trust to help support their work in setting up and running the Junior Supporters’ Trust. The establishment of a junior branch – which will be free to join for under 17s – demonstrates NUST’s commitment to encouraging young people to support their club and to help ensure there is a next generation of Newcastle United fans.
“We’re sure that bidders for the shirt will recognise this as a great chance to own a unique piece of Newcastle United’s history, whilst at the same time providing funds for such a worthy cause.”
It is hoped that the money raised by the NUST for JUSTNewcastle from the shirt sale will make the Junior Trust a reality by providing starter packs, finance football tournaments and education for younger supporters about the great history of both the football club and the city.
The cost of watching live football, coupled with easy access to televised football now means that youngsters no longer automatically support their local team. Indeed club loyalties are weakest among the young. A junior branch of NUST will help cement the support of current young fans and attract new young fans by encouraging youngsters in the region to make Newcastle United their team of choice.
Building an affinity for the local football club at an early age, can have wide ranging benefits for youngsters and the Club, as well as increasing a sense of pride for the local community. Through the fully inclusive JUSTNewcastle, the NUST can unlock this potential support of young fans and implant in them the good values needed to be Newcastle United supporters.
Andy Tate, Customer and Commercial Director of Northern Rock said: “We thought it fitting that the giant shirt, emblazoned with the names of thousands of supporters, should go to an organisation that aims to nurture the next generation of fans, to enable them to launch and develop this very worthwhile Junior Trust.”
Welcome to the NUST Shirt Auction.
NUST is auctioning the giant shirt by means of closed bids through email. Businesses and individuals have the opportunity to bid on this unique piece of Newcastle United’s history, whilst at the same time providing funds for such a worthy cause.
Good luck with your bid!

I cannot believe that it’s been over a year since I’ve written on my blog, but I promise you, I have a very good reason. I’ve been busy.
Just before the 2014/15 season of the Coastal Sounds Community Choir, my wife (and fellow Artistic Director) and I decided that it was time to grow our little organization into one that could service the singing needs of more people. This included more permanent projects for different demographics, and building on our “occasional” projects so that people could take part in activities that didn’t require a night of their week all year round.
Thus, we evolved into the Coastal Sounds Choir Association.
One of the CSCA’s biggest benefits is its locality. The Town of Conception Bay South has a very strong artistic community (music, dance and visual art), helped along by a plethora of music schools, dance studios and other community-based programs. Considering it’s the second largest municipality in all of Newfoundland, it’s a great pleasure to offer musical activities to the local residents to save them the trouble of travelling to St. John’s or farther (even though St. John’s is only 20 minutes away, folks really love to stay in their town, hence all the schools and studios).
The plan was to build on the recent success of two new projects that were done in the past two years. The first is the Christmas Cantata Project, which premiered in 2013 with just my own singers from Coastal Sounds and Topsail United Church, and then was opened up to all interested singers the surrounding areas in 2014. We’re now on our third Cantata and it’s become one of the most popular parts of the musical year in CBS, for both concert-goers and singers. Singers enjoy the opportunity to take part in a “spread-out” rehearsal schedule (this year, over five Saturdays) because it can be difficult to commit to another weekly activity, especially for those who work long days or have young families. The Christmas Cantata Project has received such positive feedback that we intend to keep it an annual tradition for our Christmas concert.
The second is our Summer Music Program, which was originally organized by just Beth and I, but was rolled under the umbrella of the CSCA during the expansion. Over the past two Augusts, we have held an Adult Choir Camp for singers who wanted to receive an accelerated choral education but could also not commit all year long to a permanent choir. The program accepts singers of all musical backgrounds (like the Coastal Sounds Community Choir, our flagship project) and aims to just get people singing, to get them interested and show them just how much fun it can be. The Adult program continues to grow year after year and we hope that we can expand it to youth in 2016.
And finally, we created a second permanent project, the Aurora Women’s Choir. We held auditions for interested members in September 2014 and started with 19 singers. This year, we’re up to 28. Even though the choir’s only been together for just over a year, they’ve had wonderful growth in both capability and opportunity. Aurora won a Gold Standard at the 2015 St. John’s Rotary Music Festival and in July 2016, they have been invited to represent the province at the UNISONG Choral Festival in Ottawa. It’s awesome to think that we’re only getting started and the more repertoire research I do, the more excited I get about all the wonderful music there is for women’s choir. After working in Barbershop and men’s voices for a decade, it felt right to explore the other side of things as well.
We rebranded this year (a HUGE thank you to WaterWerks Communications for their hard work) and I invite you to our website to check it all out. One main focus for growth in 2016 is a new project called the Con Fuoco Youth Choir. This choir is intended to be a comprehensive choral education for young singers aged 12-18. Auditions will be scheduled soon so watch our website and Like our Facebook page to stay up to date.
It’s been an incredible year and I am overjoyed at the idea of getting more people involved in choral singing. It has obviously changed my life and will change yours, too. Come to our 2015 Annual Holiday Concert and see all the smiles for yourself.

Jim Shore’s unmistakable style combines classic Disney characters with designs inspired by folk art forms of quilting, rosemaling and tole painting. Disney took a surprising and delightful twist on the classic princess in the frog lore when both Tiana and Naveen were turned green. But, despite their new bulging eyes and slimy underbellies, the pair still fell in love.

The Alizeti 300C was available for test rides on the indoor circuit and riders got a chance to feel the power of the system first hand. Riders enjoyed zipping around the track during the three days of the show. The Alizeti team got lots of great feedback from riders at the show. Most riders were very pleased with the peppy acceleration as well as the light weight of the system.
Although it was the last year that Interbike would be held in Las Vegas, the turnout was strong and the crowd was eager for innovative new products. Alizeti looks forward to next years event which will be held in Reno.


Now that the weather has turned colder, I don’t have as much garden work to keep me busy. But I still look for opportunities to get me outdoors and to keep me there. It seems as if that is where I find my hp readily available to me.
I’m not walking at 7 am anymore. I’m walking for an hour or so around 9 or 10. Sometimes I make a date with an OA buddy to take a walk in a park or on a trail. But much of the time, it’s a walk just to walk. I pray and I ask myself "what am I hearing, seeing, smelling, touching and tasting." It makes me pay attention to the present moment.
Right now, before getting outdoors, I am doing a 30-day reading and writing exercise that I found in the “Documents” section of the oa.org website. It’s called "Slipping and Sliding." It uses For Today and one of the Overeaters Anonymous volumes. First you read what it recommends and then there are some queries to use for writing. I have found this a good discipline for me.
Years ago in program I used to write more and then it faded. So this is getting me back to a discipline that is serving me well. It doesn’t take too long to do this, but it centers me and starts my day off way better than I would all by myself.
I’m reminded to check in with my hp frequently during the day, asking for direction and starting with my many gratitudes.


We’re not just concerned about the big guys with heavy machinery—we also want to help you out with your little, everyday, oil-related problems. Today, we’re going to take a look at how you can choose the best lubricant to keep your bicycle pedaling for years to come.
According to this link, there are three main types of lubricant you can use on your bike: chain oil, light oil and grease.
To keep your bicycle chain lubricated properly, you’re going to want a synthetic,
“wet style” lubricant (like Finish Line Cross Country) that can enable your bike to handle high-torque pedaling through rough riding conditions over long distances. If you have an older bicycle with a 3-speed internal gear hub, a product like Phil Tenacious Oil might be all you need. While wax is generally not quite as good as oil, if you live in a dry climate area, you may prefer a wax lubricant such as Boeshield T-9, which doesn’t collect as much dirt as oil does and is easier to apply.
Try to stay away from light oils that are vegetable-based because they tend to gum up. One of the best light oils is TriFlow-- a synthetic, Teflon-based lubricant that comes with a tube to make it easy to apply in hard-to-access areas. It lubricates quickly and thoroughly, so you should only need a few drops to get the job done.
It’s a good idea to have some waterproof grease on hand at all times when working on your bicycle. You can use a tube and a grease gun for squirting oil into tight spaces or use it on a small brush to grease the threads.


Open your Bible to Exodus 26
Curtains of Linen
26 “Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and violet, purple, and scarlet material; you shall make them with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer. 2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall have the same measurements. 3 Five curtains shall be joined to one another, and the other five curtains shall be joined to one another. 4 You shall make loops of violet on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and likewise you shall make them on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set. 5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite each other. 6 You shall also make fifty clasps of gold, and join the curtains to one another with the clasps so that the tabernacle will be a unit.
Curtains of Goats’ Hair
7 “Then you shall make curtains of goats’ hair as a tent over the tabernacle; you shall make eleven curtains in all. 8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have the same measurements. 9 You shall join five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent. 10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the first set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set.
11 “You shall also make fifty clasps of bronze, and you shall put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it will be a unit. 12 The overhanging part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13 The cubit on one side and the cubit on the other, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it. 14 And you shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather above.
Boards and Bases
15 “Then you shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 17 There shall be two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; that is what you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side. 19 You shall make forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board for its two tenons and two bases under another board for its two tenons; 20 and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards, 21 and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board and two bases under another board. 22 For the back of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards. 23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the back. 24 They shall be double beneath, and together they shall be complete to its top to the first ring; this is how it shall be with both of them: they shall form the two corners. 25 And there shall be eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board and two bases under another board.
26 “Then you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the back side to the west. 28 The middle bar in the center of the boards shall pass through from end to end. 29 And you shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars; and you shall overlay the bars with gold. 30 Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to its plan which you have been shown on the mountain.
The Veil and Curtain
31 “You shall also make a veil of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer. 32 Then you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks also of gold, on four bases of silver. 33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and bring in the ark of the testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall serve as a partition for you between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. 34 You shall put the atoning cover on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35 And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.
36 “You shall also make a curtain for the doorway of the tent of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver. 37 And you shall make five pillars of acacia for the curtain and overlay them with gold, their hooks also of gold; and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them.
Turn in your Bible to Exodus 27
The Bronze Altar
27 “Now you shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. 2 You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze. 3 And you shall make its pails for removing its ashes, and its shovels, its basins, its forks, and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. 4 You shall also make for it a grating, a netting of bronze, and on the netting you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. 5 And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar, so that the netting will reach halfway up the altar. 6 You shall also make carrying poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood and overlay them with bronze. 7 Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles will be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. 8 You shall make it hollow with planks; as it was shown to you on the mountain, so they shall make it.
Courtyard of the Tabernacle
9 “Now you shall make the courtyard of the tabernacle. On the south side there shall be hangings for the courtyard of fine twisted linen, a hundred cubits long for one side; 10 and its pillars shall be twenty, with their twenty bases of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 11 Likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings a hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty bases of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 12 For the width of the courtyard on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, with their ten pillars and their ten bases. 13 The width of the courtyard on the east side shall be fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 15 And for the other side there shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 16 And for the gate of the courtyard there shall be a curtain of twenty cubits, of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver, with their four pillars and their four bases. 17 All the pillars around the courtyard shall be joined together with silver, with their hooks of silver and their bases of bronze. 18 The length of the courtyard shall be a hundred cubits, and the width fifty throughout, and the height five cubits of fine twisted linen, and their bases of bronze. 19 All the utensils of the tabernacle used in all its service, and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the courtyard, shall be of bronze.
20 “And you shall command the sons of Israel that they bring you clear oil of beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually. 21 In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord; it shall be a permanent statute throughout their generations for the sons of Israel.

The fellas at Chrome Chasers provide such a unique experience in Alaska! Having grown up fishing for steelhead in Northern California, this was unlike anything I had ever done. Not only was the fishing superb, if one river was blown out or didn’t have fish in it, we were quickly able to make a change and check out another stream. Rick’s knowledge of the islands, rivers and ocean were top notch. From dropping shrimp and crab pots int he morning, to running up rivers in jet boats and hiking the most gorgeous rain forest you will ever see, the memories stick out vibrantly. The fish are not always easy, the wading and hiking can be strenuous, but it is well worth the effort for the rewards.For anyone looking for adventure with more wildlife than people, I would highly recommend Chrome Chasers for your next trip!
I have had the good fortune to fish for steelhead in this area for over 15 years and I didn't start out using Chrome Chasers, but I no longer use anybody else. The time and effort they have put in, truly understanding these unique fish and their returns from the salt is impressive. In fact, it is the only place I know of where you can actually watch steelhead arrive into the first freshwater pool of a river, with the high tide. In fact, they are so fresh, they really have yet to even start to look like steelhead, as they are still "purple!"
If you truly want to experience the speed and power of truly fresh steelhead, then this is simply where and with whom you need to fish
Rick, thanks for a great trip! I can’t begin to get all of my impressions down, even nearly a year after coming home. I think that any angler with an open mind that truly loves wild steelhead for not only what they are, but also where they live, and is interested in seeing those unique places that steelhead thrive, as well as learning new techniques to fish for them effectively, owes it to themselves to fish southeast Alaska with Chrome Chasers. My mind wandered to the summer run fish of my home waters in the Columbia Basin and the winter run fish of the bigger Oregon coastal rivers as I sat on shore and watched you and Nick dissect the technical drifts of the first pool above tidewater on Mystery River X. It was, and still is, incredible to think that steelhead are able to adapt to and thrive in so many unique places and that we as anglers can adapt our tackle and techniques to suit each environment. Fishing with Chrome Chasers was truly an eye opening experience for me. The fresh crab and shrimp at dinner each night wasn’t bad either!


By Josh Sazin
In celebration of the upcoming Star Wars issue #50, a most impressive milestone of Marvel Comics’ new run of the franchise, I have ranked each of the series Marvel has published since their relaunch in 2015. So, if you’re looking to catch up on some comics and aren’t quite sure where to start, take a look:
*Disclaimer: I have not yet read the limited series “Thrawn”, “The Last Jedi Adaptation” or “Lando: Double or Nothing”, which are currently being published*
- Rogue One Adaptation
This six-issue adaptation of the first “anthology” film is pretty straight-forward. It doesn’t offer a whole lot of additional content, but it does feature solid artwork by Emilio Laiso and is a good-enough comic version of the film. If you’re a big Rogue One fan, the trade paperback collection may be something to look into. The trade also features the one-shot “Cassian & K-2SO Special 1”.
- The Force Awakens Adaptation
Like the Rogue One adaptation, The Force Awakens is presented just fine in this adaptation by Chuck Wendig (Star Wars: Aftermath) and penciled by Luke Ross. One of my favorite Star Wars Marvel covers to date comes from issue #5, a menacing black and red cover featuring Kylo Ren with his saber ignited. The trade collection features the six-issue run, but very few surprises.
Similar to Lucasfilm and their anthology films, Marvel started off their run in 2015 based entirely off of nostalgia. With limited runs for each classic character, Chewbacca wasn’t about to be forgotten. The story is by far anything incredible, but it’s a heart-warming, hero’s tale with colorful artwork by Phil Noto. And for all of you sweaty fans, the mystery behind whether or not Chewie was given a medal on Yavin is finally solved!
- Doctor Aphra
Doctor Aphra is an original character who was first introduced in Kieron Gillen’s Darth Vader series in 2015, and was given her own series in 2016 once “Vader” wrapped up. A sly, sarcastic archaeologist, Aphra and her torture-hungry droids 0-0-0 and BT-1 (think R2 and 3PO on Opposite Day) cross the galaxy in search of rare artifacts. While they were often the highlight of the Vader series, the ongoing Aphra run can be hit-or-miss as far as content goes. If you’re looking for new, original stories and characters, this is a jackpot. But personally, I’ve enjoyed Aphra’s supporting role most so far.
- Jedi of the Republic – Mace Windu
Set shortly after Episode II: Attack of the Clones, this limited series follows Jedi Master Mace Windu as he heads into battle during the early stages of the Clone Wars. The story details the inner struggle the Jedi have with their roles in the recent war, now seen as army generals for the Republic. The story is short but sweet, and again nothing overly eye-popping unless you actually asked for a Mace Windu story.
- Poe Dameron
Due to Disney and Lucasfilm being extra top-secret about their new films, we’ve been very limited in the vein of content involving the sequel trilogy. The ongoing Poe Dameron comic is one of the very few examples we have that delves into what happened before and during the events of The Force Awakens. It’s a solid read, especially if you’re a fan of Oscar Isaac as Dameron in the movies. The character translates very well to comic form!
- Obi-Wan & Anakin
The Marvel comics have focused more on the Original Trilogy era, but when it delves into Prequel-era stories, the content can be glorious. Obi-Wan & Anakin is one of the most underrated limited runs to date, set a few years after The Phantom Menace with Obi-Wan training a young Anakin while on a peace-keeping mission. But perhaps the most interesting part of the series is when Chancellor Palpatine takes Anakin under his wing and helps him with inner conflicts of becoming a Jedi, showing the early stages of what ends up being a galaxy-changing relationship.
- Shattered Empire
Shatted Empire was one of the first pieces of the “Journey to The Force Awakens” multimedia campaign. The four-issue story follows the Rebel Alliance shortly after the Battle of Endor. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is trying to clean up the fallout of the Empire’s end, still spread across the galaxy in “last stand” mode. Shattered Empire also features the introduction of Poe Dameron’s parents, revealed to be Rebel fighters alongside Luke and Leia. If you’re curious as to what happened post-JEDI, this is definitely the trade you want to pick up. It also features the One-Shot “C-3PO 1: The Phantom Limb”.
- Captain Phasma
Look, we can all agree that Captain Phasma was a bit of a disappointment in both The Force Awakens AND The Last Jedi (even though we were promised Phasma would have a bigger role in the latter, which I’m still confused about). Anyways, Marvel’s Phasma run is the perfect remedy, detailing how Phasma escaped the crumbling Starkiller Base at the end of The Force Awakens, and showing just how brutal and dangerous the character SHOULD have been portrayed on the big screen. Check this one out if you want more of the character you agree got short-handed.
- Han Solo
Han Solo got his own limited run set during Episodes IV & V, written by Marjorie Liu in 2015. This is a great arc centered around everyone’s favorite smuggler and Wookiee co-pilot. Inspired by the film The Cannonball Run, this is a fun adventure if you’re looking for newer media covering Solo’s adventures between the core saga films. This is also a great series to visit (or revisit) with the hype of Solo: A Star Wars Story. The trade can be found online, collecting all five issues.
- Princess Leia
The series Leia was given back in 2015 met a lot of criticism, although personally I found it to be one of the strongest character arcs in the comics to date. Also set after A New Hope, we find the Princess pressing through after the obliteration of her home planet Alderaan. While she wants to mourn, Leia stands tough and rallies the people of Alderaan who, like her, were not caught in the planet’s destruction. This story is a true test of whether Leia can be a strong Rebel leader in the wake of ultimate tragedy. I definitely recommend this run!
- Darth Maul
Like I said, when Marvel delves into the Prequel era, their content seems to be the strongest of all. Darth Maul’s five-issue series is no exception. The story takes place shortly before The Phantom Menace, while he is still being trained by Darth Sidious. He is forbidden to engage in Jedi combat just yet, so he takes to the underworld to kill criminals. The most fascinating parts of Darth Maul’s character were always highlighted in his multimedia roles, rather than his time in the movies. His Clone Wars arc is incredible, as is his final arc in Star Wars Rebels. In this comic run, however, Maul is both tempted by the Dark Side, as well as tempted to stray from it. If you’re a fan of the Dathomirian Sith Lord, this is the trade you should be catching up on.
When the animated TV series Star Wars Rebels premiered in 2014, it was met with praise. Set a few years before A New Hope, it followed a band of Rebels who had a goal of helping others while also standing up to the galaxy-consuming Empire. Kanan Jarrus, one of the show’s leads, known as Padawan Caleb Dume during the Clone Wars, goes on the run after the Empire’s Order 66; the purge of all Jedi. The story is pretty amazing, giving insight into the character’s origin. We get to follow Kanan in hiding, using abilities from both his Jedi training and those taught by new allies and enemies in the underworld to survive. The series is collected in two trade paperbacks, Vol 1. “The Last Padawan” and Vol. 2 “First Blood”, as well as combined in omnibus form.
Lando Calrissian’s comic arc from 2015 is one of my favorites Marvel has produced. It follows the adventures of Lando before he became the Baron Administrator of Cloud City as we see in Empire Strikes Back. The story sees Lando traveling the galaxy on smooth-talking smuggler missions alongside his pal Lobot. This comic, written by Charles Soule, gets a bit strange and wild, and really sticks with you. In order to pay off a debt, Lando accepts a mission to raid an abandoned Imperial yacht in space, the owner of which turns out to be a much bigger threat than anticipated. The series also sees the introduction of alien clone warriors Aleksin and Pavol, who look and fight very similar to Marvel’s Black Panther. Like I said, this comic tip-toes on the weird, out-there parts of the Star Wars universe at times, but for that it’s an absolute must-read.
- Darth Vader
The first Marvel Darth Vader series ran for 25 issues, between 2015 and 2016, written by Kieron Gillen. The story followed the aftermath of the first Death Star’s destruction by the Rebel Alliance, and how Vader’s position as Emperor Palpatine’s right-hand man was jeopardized because of his “failure”. Palpatine doubts Vader’s abilities, and downgrades him to smaller missions under Imperial supervision. Their relationship becomes strenuous and even more vile throughout the series, and Vader wants to prove the Emperor he’s still the strongest warrior in the galaxy. Vader sets off on his own quest to find the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, sensing that whoever it was is strong with the Force. As I mentioned before, the series also introduces archaeologist Doctor Aphra, and occasionally crosses over with the title “Star Wars” series.
- Star Wars
The core series “Star Wars” was the book Marvel first launched in January 2015, and as of July 2018, will have run for an impressive 50 issues so far. The series takes place during the time between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back (a trend for most of the “classic character” series), and follows the main characters Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie as they help continue to grow the Rebellion and prevent the Empire from ruling the galaxy. The story has several amazing arcs, each one seemingly better than the last. From time to time there are stories from the “Journals of Ben Kenobi” that Luke reads from what Old Ben left behind for him, detailing his time on Tatooine while watching over Luke as he grew up. The Star Wars title also has a very underrated Yoda flashback arc as well. There are currently seven trade collections, the longest ongoing series of the Marvel re-launch.
- Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith
After Kieron Gillen’s Darth Vader run ended in 2016, Charles Soule picked up with a new ongoing Vader series in 2017, following the Sith Lord’s mission to purge all Jedi immediately following the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Not only do we see the origin of his red lightsaber, but “Dark Lord of the Sith” is one of the most brooding yet adventurous Star Wars comics of the new Marvel collection. It’s the time period people have been clamoring to see more of Vader in, especially after seeing his brutal cameo in Rogue One in 2016. Vader is at his absolute strongest here, hunting Jedi and leading a pack of blood-thirsty Inquisitors at the command of the Emperor. While the series hopefully has several issues remaining, this is definitely the one you want to jump into and strike while the iron is hot. Vader at his strongest = a must-read.

For me, the spirit of Christmas is a cozy home: soup simmering on the stove, cut out cookies in the oven, a crackling fire in the fireplace, and our family together again. My favorite part of Christmas is decorating our home. I love reminiscing as I go through years of decorations we’ve collected. I become transported as I unwrap each decoration, from the colorful ornaments my children made when they were small, to the big boughs and wreaths my dear friend Glorynn crafted when we first rebuilt our home, to gorgeous glass Waterford tree globes Robbie and I collected when we lived in New York City, to the ornaments friends gifted me while we were still in college. Each decoration fills my heart with warm, wonderful memories.
A few days after Thanksgiving, when all the turkey leftovers are gone and I regret eating that extra piece of pumpkin pie, I take down the Thanksgiving decorations, put them away, and lug out the large green and red bins filled with Christmas decorations. First, I place a wreath on our red front door. Then, I grab my clippers, head outside, and cut tree branches to go into the white stone pot on the porch where the red geraniums grew throughout the summer.
This year, for the first time, I chose a more rustic wreath for our front door. This one, made by a friend, is decorated with dried berries and strips of burlap wrapped around a wire frame.
Here’s the geranium pot I fill with branches, pine cones, berries, a ribbon, and some Christmas potpourri. The potpourri at the entrance gives off a lovely scent for guests both coming and going.
Next, I go inside and decorate the mantle and windows. Personalized needlepoint stockings are hung waiting to be filled. I group red and green candles, an old fashioned wooden nutcracker, a santa, fragrant pinecones, and branches from the yard to complete the fireplace and mantle.
Ta da! Last but not least, the tree. Robbie spent over three hours hanging over 1,500 LED lights, then I hung each memory-filled decoration, and we finished with a red and gold Florentine angel carefully placed on top. In our family tradition, we start placing gifts under the tree as they are wrapped or received through the post, and of course, we wait for Santa’s arrival for our abundant tree to be complete.
What’s your favorite decoration? And, what holiday tradition does your family share?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our home to yours!

Olive Oil Chocolate Cake (Paleo)
Updated: Dec 27, 2021
This is 100% a Nigella Lawson recipe that our family has adopted as our own. It is "THE" cake we make for every family birthday and gathering.
All I can say to Nigella Lawson is "THANK YOU!" My daughter and I have food allergies and this cake recipe is a God send. This cake is also paleo-friendly for those looking to cut back on grains.
I describe it as a dense, dark chocolate European-style cake, but it's better than that.
I've tweaked Nigella's original recipe and the version we make is sugar free - we use stevia - and people are amazed by every decadent and delightful bite. We top with coconut whip cream or ice cream.
⅔ cup regular olive oil (plus more for greasing)
6 tablespoons good-quality unsweetened cocoa (sifted)
½ cup boiling water
2 teaspoons best vanilla extract
1½ cups almond meal
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch of salt
1 cup superfine stevia (or sugar)
3 large eggs
Preheat your oven to 325ºF. Grease a 9inch cake pan (springform tin works well, but not necessary) with a little oil and line the base with baking parchment.
Measure and sift the unsweetened cocoa into a bowl and whisk in the boiling water until you have a smooth, chocolatey, still runny paste. Whisk in the vanilla extract, then set aside to cool a little.
In another bowl, combine the almond meal with the baking soda and pinch of salt.
Put the sugar, olive oil and eggs into the bowl of a freestanding mixer with the paddle attachment (or other bowl and whisk arrangement of your choice - I use a hand mixer) and beat together vigorously for about 3 minutes until you have a pale-primrose, aerated and thickened cream.
Turn the speed down a little and pour in the cocoa mixture, beating as you go, and when all is scraped in you can slowly tip in the ground almond mixture.
Scrape down, stir, then pour into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the sides are set and the very centre, on top, still looks slightly damp. A cake tester should come up mainly clean but with a few sticky chocolate crumbs clinging to it. That's what makes it dense (not dry) inside.
Let it cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. If you're using a springform pan, ease the sides of the cake with a small metal spatula and spring it out of the tin. In my world, I simply let the cake cool in the pan. When I'm ready to pull out, I simply take a spatula around the sides (to make sure nothing is sticking), put a plate on top and flip the mixture upside down so the cake lands centred on the plate (the parchment paper helps release).


Swimming pond of 22 x 8 metres, Dordogne (Périgord Noir)
On the first visit, it was immediately clear where the swimming pond should be. The terrain was sloping and consisted of hard rock. We had to think a little about the shape and size. All the square buildings around it first made you think of a rectangular swimming pond. Nevertheless, we decided to propose a long, more or less banana-shaped pool, the shape of which would fit in well with the road that runs along it. The circular retaining wall of local stone that we built around the pool fits in beautifully with the old buildings. From the road, only this circular retaining wall can be seen and the swimming water remains "hidden" so that there is sufficient privacy during swimming.
With its 22 metres length and maximum 8 metres width (and containing 180 m³ of water), this swimming pond is very large, but with its size it fits perfectly into its environment. When you approach the swimming pond from the house, it seems to fit exactly into the open space. A slightly higher terrace was created at the building to keep an eye on the pool water and to be able to enjoy the beautiful view of the valley at the same time.


Margaux Farm’s all weather gallop is an undulating seven and a half furlong course built on the lay of the land on four separate hills. It has been proven that horses working uphill build stronger muscles behind and that horses working downhill build stronger forearms and shoulders. The turns on the gallop are good for older horses and babies alike, and condition for lead changes and balance when entering turns.
The all weather straight track at Margaux Farm has a distance of a mile and one sixteenth and runs through the center of the farm. Majority of speed work takes place on our straight track, with the ability to breeze five eighths of a mile. The straight track has two gradual turns with a two furlong tear drop finish.
The turf course at Margaux Farm is an undulating 1 1/4 mile oval. The course lies along the Elkhorn Creek and is a natural floodplain to the farm. The soil of the course is rich with silt, and maintains good footing year-round. The turf course has three furlongs of flat track where speed work is done, and a one furlong uphill finish.
