'On the Edge of Our City': A Short Story for Yom Kippur by Aharon Appelfeld
A Holocaust survivor wrestles with the angel of history on the beach in Tel Aviv
Chapter 2
Tel Aviv in July is a glaring city. Everything is squashed and molten underfoot. You're trapped when you leave your lair. Worse than everything is the ugliness stamped in every doorway and gate. Once it seemed there were hidden aspirations in this blazing city. I even imagined that one day they would raise me up. But in recent years powerful emptiness has engulfed me, clumsy words, and a dark avidity that threatens to swallow me. I'm not afraid. Sometimes I have a strong desire to open the window and shout: Murky city, hollow city, I can't bear your stifling emptiness! I know my shout won't shake anything. The emptiness here is solid. The people are bastioned in these paper tenements as in metal castles.
To cope with the heat and the emptiness, I seldom go out, just to the grocery store, just to the seashore at night. As I said, women muddy my spirit. Sometimes they seem to me like the embodiment of this emptiness. Tina, where are you? How come I didn't hear your cry? I just felt your goodness of heart, the understanding you acquired in the ghetto and the camps, but I didn't see your determination to struggle against the ghosts of emptiness.
When I heard she had converted to Christianity, I wanted to go to her, and I even made some preparations. It didn't work out. I'm far too connected with what I've accumulated to go after a beloved woman. What I didn't do, Tina did. Presumably she uprooted me from her thoughts, but within me she grew from year to year. Sometimes she seems to loom up like a bell tower.
To vanquish the emptiness I have stratagems. I listen to music for countless hours. The music fills not only me but the space around me. Music, as I have learned, is an elixir that seeps into all your limbs.
Some time ago my cassette player broke. It was already night. I couldn't bear the house, and I raced from street to street, maybe I'd find a repairman, maybe I could borrow a cassette player, maybe I could buy a new one. All the stores were locked. I sat in the doorway of a building and wrapped myself in despair. A man approached me, leaned over, and asked, "What's the matter?"
I didn't ignore him: "My cassette player broke."
"One doesn't mourn for a cassette player," he reprimanded me.
"I can't manage without music," unintentionally I told him the truth.
"Can't you control yourself?" he scolded me.
"It's hard for me, can't you see," I spoke the way I never speak.
"It's beyond my understanding," he said and turned his back to me.
But another man, who had overheard our conversation, immediately sympathized with my distress, approached me, and asked, "You need a cassette player?"
"Right," I said and rose to my feet.
"I can lend you one," he said in a plain voice.
"Just until tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll buy a new one."
"Wait a minute. I'll bring it right away."
Before much time had passed, he brought me a cassette player, almost new. I wanted to pay him, but he refused. He wrote down my name and address and said: "Every evening after nine o'clock, I"m home."
"You trust me?"
"Yes," he said with a smile.
"I promise I'll return it."
"I don't doubt it."
I hadn't imagined that there were such generous people in this city. I ran after him and shouted, "Thank you."
"Think nothing of it. I'm sure you'd do exactly as I did."
That night I didn't sleep. I sat in the armchair and listened to music. I didn't fall asleep until dawn, drugged with coffee and cigarettes.
The next night I went out to return the cassette player. The man greeted me at the door. He was shorter than I had pictured him. Probably a janitor or a government clerk. Not a trace of nobility in his face. "Thanks," I said. "You saved me."
"You're exaggerating."
"Without music, I choke. You also listen to music."
"Not every day?"
"So how did you notice that I was in distress?" I asked stupidly.
"I didn't notice."
"So why did you lend me the cassette player?"
"I saw you needed it."
The man's laconic speech stunned me. I wanted to thank him again, but I didn't. I don't like to annoy people. But since then, every time I operate my cassette player, I remember him and it seems that I'm not alone in the world. You can't depend on women to be faithful; but a man who gives you a cassette player because he sees you need one—there's a man I can count on.
On Behalf of the Jews, Please Accept These Yom Kippur Apologies. Please.
We gave the world Anthony Weiner and Michael Bloomberg, and even our holidays screwed up everyone's summer

Jennifer Lawrence may have a Golden Globe, but she doesn't have a golden butt. Yes, ladies and gents, Jennifer Lawrence may be only 22, but she's got the ass of a 90-year-old. Hey, that's her opinion, not mine. It just looks your standard saggy ass to me -- we all have those saggy asses with the wrong angle -- but she's the one who "disowns" it. Can't say I blame her, really.
When the Hunger Games star appeared on David Letterman to promote her new movie, Silver Linings Playbook, Letterman ungallantly teased her about a recent pap shot in which she appears in a blue bikini -- and with one tired looking backside. She joked:
It's not my butt and I will not take responsibility for it. 'It's a 90-year-old butt that's been photoshopped onto my body, and is posing as my butt.
Ah, don't we all have days like that? Jennifer has said she refuses to diet down to the size zero preferred in Hollywood circles, and no doubt she refuses to criticize her less-than-stellar butt either. Personally, I think it's refreshing. I don't care how skinny and toned you are, if you're turning around like she is in that picture, you're going to have a bit of cellulite. Big deal. Not the end of the world.
The important thing is that Jennifer has a sense of humor about herself.
Do you think Jennifer has a 90-year-old butt?
Image via CBS/YouTube
not to news worthy
Oh no!!! She has the butt of a 90 year old man?
Well...she better give it back to him. :P
She looks like a normal young woman to me. Not anorexic, but not overweight either.
I agree with elasmini
No she looks fine
she's adorable and so funny! And I didn't think it looked like a 90-yr old butt! LOL
She looks fine!
I doubt it. She still has a pretty face so I wouldn't worry too much about her butt :)

In 2006, Liberia's only functioning seaport was a quagmire, riddled by corruption, cargo theft, and a glut of untrained workers. These problems combined to slow the delivery of relief supplies that were badly needed after a 14-year civil war, which had ended three years earlier. A battle site, the Freeport of Monrovia suffered from war damage and years of neglect. It was in danger of shutting down completely. The responsibility to upgrade the infrastructure and improve management lay with the National Port Authority (NPA), a state-owned enterprise that operated the Freeport. From 2006 through 2011, Togba Ngangana, George Tubman and Matilda Parker, successive managing directors at the NPA, enacted a series of reforms to restore the authority and port operations. The Liberian government and outside donors agreed to hire internationally recruited financial controllers to work with NPA directors on fiscal matters. Together, the directors and controllers put in place new systems that helped the NPA collect revenue and prevent unnecessary expenses, installed an automated financial management system, reduced staff size, trained remaining workers, and improved the Freeport's security infrastructure to meet standards of the International Maritime Organization. This case chronicles the steps reformers took to improve the management of a politically sensitive agency in a post-conflict setting.

The week had been quiet for the Patriots on the NFL fines front. DL Myron Pryor had delivered a hit on Vikings QB Brett Favre late in last Sunday's game that caused the QB to get several stitches to his chin, but the hit appeared completely legal. Pryor was not flagged for the hit and former NFL VP of Officiating wrote earlier this week that the hit appeared perfectly legal. Not legal enough apparently, because Pryor has been fined $7,500 for his hit on gramps. I've re-watched the hit on Favre several times (and you can too by clicking here) and I can't possibly see how it is an illegal hit. If you take a look at the picture in this article it's pretty hard to see how the hit could possibly be considered illegal. Pryor hits Favre in the chest with his helmet and in the process the force snaps Favre's head down while Pryor's helmet slides up. Pryor explained how something like that happens earlier this week to the Boston Herald, and it makes sense. He didn't stop to comment today though and bolted out of the locker room after practice. The fines didn't stop there.
LB Gary Guyton was also fined $7,500 in a helmet-to-helmet hit on Favre that occurred earlier in the game. That fine makes more sense than the Pryor hit, as Guyton was actually flagged during the game for a 15-yard penalty. Guyton had to expect the fine would be on its way. Either way, this is starting to get a little ridiculous. I have to side with James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers and his vehement opposition to all of the kiddy gloves being used to try and manage a violent game. I can't help but wonder if this will factor into any new CBA that will hopefully be struck before a lockout occurs.

Class AA state boys tournament predictions
As the dust settles from another successful Summit League basketball tournament at the Arena, it's time to make way for the Class AA boys hoop fest, which tips off Thursday with Roosevelt as the No. 1 seed.
After picking the Lincoln girls to lose in the first round of last week's 'AA' tourney in Rapid City and seeing them surge to their first-ever state title, I'm hoping for better luck with my forecast this time around.
Here's a look at how I think the boys bracket will shake down in Sioux Falls:
First round: Roosevelt over Rapid City Stevens, Brandon Valley over Huron, Pierre over Rapid City Central, Lincoln over Brookings.
Semifinals: Roosevelt over Brandon Valley, Pierre over Lincoln.
Championship: Roosevelt over Pierre.
Summary: Expectations were high for the Rough Riders this season, and they have exceeded them in many respects. The team's frenzied full-court style perfectly suits the depth and athleticism that Lee Taylor and his staff roll out each night, led by seniors Tyler Howard, Brandon Boggs, Nate Cole, Lucas Wilber and Jeremiah Clark. This shapes up as their shining moment, with a chance to give Roosevelt its first state title since 2000 in front of a Sioux Falls crowd. But it will be a battle, rather than a coronation. Though the Riders set a school record with 1,582 total points this season (an average of 71.9 a game), they are not known for great perimeter shooting. They feed off their defense and need to be opportunistic, but they are vulnerable in close games that come down to half-court possessions. Still, their only loss came in a border battle with Marshall (Minn.), and they have senior leadership on their side. A semifinal clash with Brandon Valley is potentially troublesome, though Roosevelt ripped the Lynx 82-55 on the road back on Dec. 21. Chase Marso gives Brandon Valley hope, but the erstwhile quarterback would probably have to put up 40 for the Lynx to pull of the upset. On the other side of the bracket, I look for Pierre to assert itself as a team determined to claim its school's first title since 1982. As Zach Hanson and Lane Severyn came up through the ranks, we kept hearing that the Governors were a team destined for big things, and now the time has arrived to make good on that promise. I look for Severyn to have a stellar tournament and lead Pierre to a thrilling semifinal win over the pesky Pats, who surprised a lot of doubters with their do-or-die regional win at Watertown. But this tournament is destined to come down to Roosevelt and Pierre, and I think the Riders will have just too many fresh legs and fast-moving parts for the Govs to handle once Saturday night rolls around.

"He had always wanted to be in the Army," says Justin Mitchell. "I mean we've got pictures of him as a child in fatigues. That was just something that was in his blood."
Sitting around the table at the Mitchell home you just know something is missing. The past six months have been like no other for this close knit Winnsboro family.
Dorinda Mitchell clearly remembers the moment her son's reserve unit headed to war in Iraq.
"You just fell like your heart is ripping out of your chest. You just have to... that is when the prayers really became from I'm going to pray for the troops to I'm going to pray for the troops. You know you see the bumper stickers pray for the troops and we always have it on our prayer request list but, when you have one it changes the depth of that prayer," says mother Dornida Mitchell. "When he first left it was...I would come home... I didn't make his bed for days. I would just go curl up in his bed and just cry. finally the prayer was Lord you have got to pick me up. You've got to get me back. I have another child that I have to deal with too."
Little sister Lindsey spent her freshman year at Texas A&M living with her big brother. Those moments and a childhood bathed in a belief that prayer works has made the long days bearable.
"It does consume your thoughts. And when you hear stuff on the news and you think oh gosh that is so close to where he is I mean it just consumes your thoughts at times" says sister Lindsey Mitchell. "I prayer for his protection. For strength for the job that he is supposed to do. I pray for our family to have the peace....
Peace doesn't always come easy. A lesson the Mitchell's have learned, life does moves on. Since Justin was deployed last year, the family has been through a series of ups and downs. Dorinda has had health problems. The family just sold two local businesses and now dad has taken a job that forces him to commute to College Station every week. But they have also learned that faith, prayer and the prayers of others really does matter. It is the glue they feel that keeps them together and steady while the missing part of this family remains in harms way.
I mean, it just brings it close to home...I've had so many people just stop and say we have never had anybody that close you know it just helps to know your not in it by yourself," says Dorinda. "I just feel with our family, our church, our community, you know we are taken care of. I mean we have that support and it's...you feel it. Everyday."
"We've been through a lot of different trials and tribulations but it is all from God," says Justin Mitchell. "The things that we've been through. There is no doubt He strengthened us through it. "I read my Bible every morning and talk to the Lord every morning. Before I start my day. And I pray every night after I go to bed. (Q: And what do you think that does for you?) It gives me the strength to get up the next morning and start again."

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Baton Rouge-area home sales rose 12 percent in September. That's according to figures released by the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors.
Realtors sold 698 homes in the eight-parish metro area, compared with 622 that month the year before.
Dollar volume rose 21 percent to $137.3 million.
For the year, the metro area is up 14 percent to 5,820 homes sold. Dollar volume is up 14 percent for the year to $1.12 billion.
David McKey, of Coldwell Banker One, tells The Advocate (http://bit.ly/QqW7g7 ) low mortgage rates — below 4 percent for a 30-year fixed-rate loan — continue to keep buyers interested, and consumer confidence and falling unemployment figures have people a little more at ease.

Research SummaryI am involved in three major research themes: (i) wound healing, (ii) infection & inflammation and (iii) evidence based oral health. Within these themes the following subjects are integrated: * in vitro and in vivo models related to wound healing and tissue regeneration * the effect of periodontal disease on general health e.g. cardiovascular disease and diabetes * clinical studies on implant dentistry The three themes 1. Wound healing which encompasses translational research in all three levels (in vitro, in vivo/preclinical and clinical trials) in soft and hard tissue regeneration, healing processes following non surgical and surgical procedures in health and in chronic diseases (diabetes, osteoporosis) and implant dentistry. 2. Inflammation & infection, which encompasses the area of periodontal medicine (association of oral health with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis), genetic susceptibility and association with chronic general health diseases. 3. Outcome based oral health which includes systematic reviews in Periodontology and Implantology as well as innovative methodology in data synthesis. 1. Wound healing: The Clinical research Division has a significant translational research expertise and track record in preclinical and clinical studies on the effect of active biologic peptides such as enamel matrix proteins and bone grafts in periodontal and bone regeneration. Furthermore, ongoing studies are focused on the early and late bone healing in healthy and diabetic or osteoporotic conditions.The Division has a complete programme of translational research from the basic in vitro studies to preclinical and controlled clinical trials where the effect of different implant surfaces or biomaterials is evaluated in terms of molecular, histological and clinical healing. Furthermore, the research team is establishing translational research in stem cells and their possible application in the field of periodontology and implantology.

Thomas Cranmer
Psalm 135: 13-21
1 John 4: 1-6
"Testing the Spirits"
Grace and peace to you in the name of the Triune God. "Testing the Spirits". That is the heading for this passage in my NRSV. Neither this text nor our Psalm assigned for today appear anywhere in the three year lectionary. So there was no help from textweek or working preacher. This text has certainly received my attention these last months. I know many of us have been "testing the Spirits" to try and listen carefully where it is that God may be calling us, as we wonder how God is at work in our midst and in the world. I have listened around the table in my office and around the lunch table in the community and it is clear that many of us have been testing the spirits in an attempt to separate one's own wants, selfish desires and self-interest from what might actually be the Spirit of God.
But what does it mean to "test the Spirits?" Is it simply a way to rationalize what I know I really want to do anyway? Is testing the spirits about imposing one's own interpretation on a situation and trying to label it "spirit?" Does testing the spirits involve being wholly unprepared for something, like an exam or an interview and claiming "I'll leave it to the spirit." Perhaps evidence of this testing of the spirits is when you come around to my way of thinking.
This text today from 1 John provides a compass point of orientation for the courageous work of testing the spirits. This compass point is one word and it begins this passage... Beloved. To be called beloved presumes certain things. It takes for granted that you are already in relationship. It takes for granted that you are loved into being. The divine lover has embraced you. You are beloved.
To be beloved means we are not left for this testing the spirits on our own. We are grafted into a community, a body of Christ, that means there are people of faith who are committed to hold us and such testing of the spirits in prayer. Have you been bold enough to actually ask specifically that people hold you in prayer in times of testing? Even if you haven't, we do it anyway as a community of faith, whether you want it or not. It is a bit like grits in the deep South. A friend who was making his first visit to Atlanta ordered breakfast and with it came a bowl of grits. He called the waitress over and said, excuse me, I didn't order this. She responded with a twinkle in her eye, oh honey, nobody orders grits, they just come. Prayer just comes in the testing of the spirits as part of being beloved.
A consequence of being beloved in the testing of the spirits is we are given the freedom to risk new adventures. We are invited into the freedom to be for one another in new ways. It is NOT a free pass to security, comfort, prosperity. Luther writes that this knowing we are beloved could lead to the misguided presumption that God is favorably disposed to us. How often are we tempted to think that when testing the spirits we deserve some kind of plum assignment as a reward for faithful service.
We are reminded today that testing the spirits as one who is beloved, may not reap obvious rewards.
Today is the commemoration of Thomas Cranmer. The BBC History report notes that "Cranmer was archbishop of Canterbury (1533 - 1556) and a leader of the English Reformation who was responsible for establishing the basic structures of the Church of England. With Thomas Cromwell, he supported the translation of the bible into English. In 1545, he wrote a litany that is still used in the church. In 1549, he helped complete the Book of Common Prayer. Thomas Cranmer was born on 2 July 1489 in Nottinghamshire. His parents were minor gentry. As his father only had enough land to give his eldest son, Thomas and his younger brother joined the clergy. Cranmer was given a fellowship at Jesus College, Cambridge in 1510, which he lost when he married the daughter of a local tavern-keeper. She died in childbirth, at which point he was re-accepted by the college and devoted himself to study. He took holy orders in 1523. A plague forced Cranmer to leave Cambridge for Essex. He came to the attention of Henry VIII, who was staying nearby. The king and his councilors found Cranmer a willing advocate for Henry's desired divorce from Catherine of Aragon. Cranmer became ambassador to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Cranmer was sent to Germany to learn more about Lutheranism. Here he met Margaret Osiander, the niece of a Lutheran reformer, who he married. After Edward VI's death, Cranmer supported Lady Jane Grey as successor. Her nine-day reign was followed by the Roman Catholic Mary I, who tried him for treason. After a long trial and imprisonment, he was forced to proclaim to the public his error in the support of Protestantism, an act designed to discourage followers of the religion. Despite this, Cranmer was sentenced to be burnt to death in Oxford on 21 March 1556. He dramatically stuck his right hand, with which he had signed his recantation, into the fire first."
Every time I go to Oxford, England I am reminded of this hot-handed reformer who was burned at the stake in the same spot at the center of Oxford as Ridley and Latimer six months earlier. That place is now marked by a large monument. Testing the spirits as one who is beloved does not guarantee an easy road. Many of our own stories of testing the spirits through the vicissitudes of our journey of faith are perhaps, thankfully, not so dramatic as Cranmer's, but they are certainly closer to the heart. Rick, Luke, Ariel and Donna have sacrificed so much in separation during these last four years and many of you could share similar stories. Testing the spirits doesn't ensure and easy road.
One other way that Luther suggests we may test whether the spirit is at work is "when we speak from the spirit of God the majority snore. " In that case I may have preached very spirit filled sermons judging by the snores-even this morning.
The hymn we are about to sing captures the sense of God's claiming us as beloved and that belonging frees us in testing the spirits to manifest God's love in what we do, how we act, in the discernments and decisions we make so that we bear witness to the love of God with each other and with the world.
This text ends with an emphatic "we are from God." It does not mean that either the church or our own testing of the spirits are infallible, but it provides us the compass point that "God's grace is larger than our sin and God's mercy greater than our ability to grasp it. That's the good news for today. AMEN!

I was asked on Facebook yesterday if I had a coleslaw recipe to share. Now, my favorite slaw is my Asian 5 Spice Slaw.... but not everyone is into that sort of thing, but if you are please make it because it's DELICIOUS!
I digress... so, I realized I have never actually written down my normal slaw recipe.. and hadn't planned on making any, but The Boyfriend had some fish for lunch, so I offered to make him some slaw and wrote down my recipe as I made it. Even though I call this caraway dill slaw, the flavors are mild enough that you could serve it as regular slaw.
Caraway Dill Coleslaw
- 4 cups chopped cabbage
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup minced red onion
- 2 tbsp mayo (My Lower Fat Vegenaise recipe is GREAT here!)
- 1 tbsp dijon
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp dry dill, caraway seeds
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, parsley
- salt/pepper to taste or Old Baby Seasoning
- Massage the salt into the cabbage until it starts to break down. Set in a colander to drain water. (there won't be much water released)
- In a mixing bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and season to taste with salt/pepper. Let it side for 5 minutes after adding the salt/pepper and taste before you re-season.
- You could also replace the salt with Old Bay Seasoning. This is super yummy!

Bad aim
Saturday, October 13, a Blaine police officer encountered an 18-year-old Lynden
man walking east on H Street carrying a 30-06 hunting rifle. Upon seeing the officer,
the man threw the rifle on the ground. Contact was made with the man who said
he had thrown the rifle to the ground because he was afraid the police would confiscate
The man asked for a ride home to Lynden because he had suffered a gunshot wound to his right leg and was having difficulty walking. He initially declined to accept medical assistance.
The man explained that he had burned his clothing in the woods because the dog scent emanating from the clothes was not conducive to deer hunting. He inadvertently left a cartridge in his pants pocket which exploded in the fire and struck his leg.
As the officer was trying to convince the man to accept medical treatment, the man passed out and apparently went into shock. The Northwest Regional Fire and Rescue was summoned to provide assistance and the man was ultimately transported to the hospital by the Bellingham Fire Department.
An investigation revealed that the man had been hunting in the unincorporated area south of Blaine. The matter was referred to the Whatcom County Sheriffs Office. .

Our History
Seapatrick Parish can trace its history back to the 5th century when tradition has it that St Patrick camped overnight to rest on his journey from Downpatrick to Armagh. Christian worship has been offered in the area since then, and in 1837 the church in the village of Seapatrick was built, with Holy Trinity being built in 1882.
The name Seapatrick is a compilation of Suide Padruic meaning seat or resting place of Patrick and tradition suggests St Patrick paid regular visits, possibly as he journeyed between Saul or Downpatrick and Armagh.
Seapatrick Village (now really a suburb of Banbridge) was therefore the original centre of civilization and the original Parish Church, now a ruin, was located there.
Like most ancient churches in Ireland it bore the scars of successive periods of war and until the mid 17th century was probably the only church in the area. History would suggest that the Roman Catholics had ceased using it by 1630 but continued to use its graveyard for burials right through to the 19th century. It is recorded in journals as being in very poor condition in 1641, being refurbished in 1698 and in good condition in 1721.
With the advent of the Industrial Revolution at the beginning of the early nineteenth century and the introduction of linen production to the area by the Huguenots the population of the area increased dramatically. In those early days the only means of crossing the Bann River was a ford at the bottom of Kiln Lane some half mile from Seapatrick Village. Also about this time a Mail Coach run between Belfast and Dublin was introduced. In order to facilitate this new means of transport and communication, it was decided to build a bridge over the Bann River. Engineering surveys determined that this should be located a distance of a mile below Seapatrick Village and some half mile below the existing ford. In due time housing gravitated around the bridge and hence the town of Banbridge was born.
The new relocated Parish Church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity was consecrated on 7th November 1837. From 1609 until 1837 the incumbent of Seapatrick Parish had been called "Vicar of Seapatrick" and also "Dean of Dromore".
In 1821, due to the poor condition of the parish church in the village of Seapatrick, it was felt necessary to build a new one. Due to the bourgeoning developments around the bridge and restrictions posed by existing graves etc on the original site, relocation to a new green field area offered by the Marquis of Downshire beside the new bridge over the Bann was mooted. The proposal faced stiff opposition for a variety of reasons ranging from money to traditionalism and due to the poor economic circumstances of the time was not eventually carried until 1833.
The new relocated Parish Church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity was consecrated on 7th November 1837. From 1609 until 1837 the incumbent of Seapatrick Parish had been called "Vicar of Seapatrick" and also "Dean of Dromore". The then incumbent Rev Daniel Dickinson ceased to be Dean and became Rector of Seapatrick. He was Vicar and Dean from 1832-37 and Rector from 1837-70 a ministry of thirty eight years. He is the parish's longest serving Rector and third longest incumbent.
In 1837 times were hard. The local workhouse was built in 1841 and the Potato Famine (1846-1848) and emigration decimated the population of Ireland in the succeeding years. In 1847 the Old Parish Church at Seapatrick village was sold to a local mill owner and vestry member Fredrick Hayes for £25. Two men were employed to demolish it and use the stone to build a wall around the graveyard to protect it from grave robbers. Only one gable of the old church exists today.
The Disestablishment of the Church of Ireland separating it from the Church of England and making it an autonomous Anglican Communion took place in 1869 with effect from 1st January 1871. In 1880 less than fifty years after the relocation of their treasured Parish Church the residents of Seapatrick gained some consolation with the refurbishment of the nearby disused schoolhouse into a Chapel of Ease seating 100 people and dedicated to St Patrick. St Patrick's Church was consecrated for worship in 1882 and has maintained this tradition of worship in Seapatrick Village with a weekly service ever since.
In 1883 it became necessary to enlarge the new Parish Church in Banbridge. Its roof was raised six feet and transepts added to accommodate 800 people. In 1887, on the Church's 50th anniversary, the Bishop confirmed 300 young people. This remains a record for the diocese. Building work has continued to modern day as we seek to restore and preserve the church for future generations. In 2010 the crooked spire was straightened, a not inconsiderable task was set by the then Rector. Archdeacon John Scott challenged the parishioners to raise £200,000 in one year, and less than 11 months later the money was raised, the building work was complete and the spire was paid for. Today "Holy Trinity" continues to flourish, as we hope you will see from this website, and to maintain the emphasis on people rather than on bricks and mortar.

If you've been looking for that petition to tell Corporations to STOP SUPPORTING ALEC, here's a link:
The tragic Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida has once again drawn attention to the role of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in spreading terrible public policy in the form of "model" bills across the nation. We are sending letters to the corporate leadership of the ALEC to demand that they withdraw their membership from ALEC and do what's right for our democracy.
They are responsible for funding the Tea Party, and contributing to GOP candidates, in a concerted effort to defeat Democrats, and influence both State and Federal legislatures.
We need to do what we can to not be helping those who act against our best interests. One way to do that is to withdraw our money from their coffers.
How to accomplish this? First off, we need to KNOW which products the Koch Brothers manufacture, so we can Boycott them.
So, first starters, how many Koch Brothers products can you name?
But now, Charles and David Koch have replaced Dick Cheney as the chief villains for many.
For years they have been using their vast fortune, estimated at a combined $44 Billion to help fund Conservative think tanks and politicians.
They have been a primary benefactor for the Tea Party movement, and now they are vowing to spend $88 million going in to the 2012 elections.
They are the very symbol of the unholy alliance between business and state that plagues this country."

Last year, the SEC passed new rules on "over-signing," including an annual 25-man limit for conference teams.
This year, UGA coach Mark Richt told the AJC that he expects to finish with a recruiting class of between 30-35 players. The Bulldogs already have 30 commitments for 2013, with at least a couple of more targets on both sides of the ball.
How can that be? How can UGA sign 30-35 if there's a new rule with a 25-man limit?
"Early enrollees."
The recruiting term will soon, if it's not already, be as famous as over-signing, which is defined as a college team signing more recruits than they have scholarships available. Over-signing was made famous by coaches like Houston Nutt and Nick Saban.
Early enrollees is the loophole when the SEC talked tough and passed the over-signing rules last year. What are they? Early enrollees are recruits from high school, prep school or junior college that can complete college entrance requirements by midyear (or graduate early) and enroll at a four-year college in January. In some sense, it's a reward for both the college and the recruits they target for taking care of work early in the classroom.
What's the big deal about that? If a recruit can enroll early, then he can be "back-counted" toward the previous year's recruiting class – if the college finished with under 25 signees in that previous year. Note: You must also stay below the overall roster limit of 85 players, too. This is how UGA will finish with a recruiting class of 30-35, even though all of them won't count toward the 2013 numbers.
Let's talk a closer look at UGA's situation:
Last year, UGA had a lot of momentum and success until signing day, when it missed on numerous targets. The Bulldogs finished with a much smaller class than they or anybody else expected at 19. Out of that group of 19, two failed to meet NCAA academic requirements. That knocks it down to 17. And then three other recruits enrolled early, with two "back-counted" toward the 2011 numbers.
So the final tally for UGA's 2012 class was 15 signees, 10 spots under the SEC's new 25-man limit. Some jokingly called it "under-signing."
This year, UGA has 30 commitments and may finish with 35.
Out of the 30 commits, at least 17 have said that they intend to enroll early and begin taking classes at UGA for spring semester on Jan. 7.
Now whether all 17 make it or not is unknown. According to now-former UGA recruiting coordinator Rodney Garner earlier this week, each recruit has to be approved by the school president and admissions committee, and all of them had yet to be approved – whether it's due to academics, waiting on test scores, delayed paperwork or for whatever reasons. A lot of that will unfold in the next 10 days.
While UGA would love to have all 17, it's really counting on 10. That's the magic number because that's the maximum the Bulldogs can "back-count" toward the 2012 class, which currently has 15 signees, to max out with 25.
If at least 10 are early enrollees, UGA can quickly compensate for last year's small class and add much-needed team depth with a super-sized signing class — perfectly legal under SEC rules.
What if 17 make it? What about the other seven? The other seven, even though they are early enrollees, they will count toward 2013's regular 25-man limit.
Early enrollees are the hottest thing in recruiting. They're not new, as some have pointed out below. But it is new for so many schools to to use them in this magnitude. UGA had only three early enrollees last year and two in 2011, before blowing the doors off with 17 potential EE's this year.
UGA is not the only SEC school taking advantage of this new rule, with both Florida and Alabama expecting around 8-10 early enrollees each.
And a memo to high school freshmen, sophomores and juniors: If you really want to play D1 football, you will triple your marketability to colleges if you do well enough with your academics to be an early enrollee as a senior.

This is blatant cheating by Coach Richt. That is the exact same thing all you Georgia fans accused Coach Saban of doing. Early enrollees and oversigning are the same things, just different terminology.

As always, Muck Richt will bend the rules, ignore the rules, and just plain cheat to keep his $300,000 paycheck coming in every month. Not that dawg fans care if he uses sleazy practices to recruit and sign stupid bozos who can barely read.
Yes, there's a reason why UGA is known far and wide as The Cesspool of the South.

More marketable if you do good with your academics? UGa has about 74% special admits so that seems funny. In Georgia the kid if he is good will be given grades and passed along to go play college ball as we all know. The Government School Educational System in Georgia is terrible.

AT GT, CPJ does not do this because no one wants to play all at GT. CPJ signs kids that no one else recruits and as a result, Tech's classes usually number around 12-15 kids. Whether they enroll I. January or August, Tech will end up 6-6.
ACC and Tech are non factors. SC will lose to Tech, because the Men of Troy will have no respect for Tech and will over look Tech and GT will defeat hapless USC in a nothing game.

@ Bama Boy. You have no clue!
"Oversigning" means you will have to cull or kick to the curb or talk into Bogus Medical hardship's, the extra players that Saban never had a scholarship for in the first place.
There's a reason why Mark Richt never did "Oversign" players.
Saban never had the scholarships available for the Six extra players that he signed and then culled each and every year. Mark Richt has the Scholarships.
Too bad the new rules have taken away Saban's ill gotten advantage.
Keep selling that line. Only the ingorant will believe you.

@ Hawk, You mean, the SEC finally figured out how to nullify Saban's dirty practice and take away his ill gotten advantage.
Say good bye to Alabama having all that extra depth. The rules now allow Richt and others to establish more depth without kicking these young kids to the curb.
Saban was even forced to say he would now honor four year scholarships. How will he cull those under performing players now?
Saban will always be the poster Boy of Oversigning. Richt never did and it was the right thing to do.
But, ain't y'all bamma Boys proud.

Everything SABAN does is within the rules. He makes new rules that the NCAA will try and curtail such as SKYPE.
SABAN has been using SKYPE for years and other coaches are just now starting to catch on. Of course CMR is always late to the party.

Bama fans……..
Saban oversigned and made room for players by medically discharging players or taking away their schollys and asking them to transfer, etc. The reason the SEC changed the recruit signing rules was because of coaches like Saban constantly oversigning and doing the above to keep his 85 man roster. What Richt and most SEC coaches are doing now is within the rules, and the rules now force coaches like Saban to play by the rules…..and the game is now coming back to better competition in the SEC because coaches like Saban can no longer bend the rules to their advantage. Some of you Bama fans are just plain…BLIND.
December 23rd, 2012

I'm totally amazed with the utter stupidity demonstrated by every negative blogger. UGa and CMR are doing nothing illegal, immoral, unethical, etc. Get a life guys because you are struggling way to hard to find something wrong with UGa's program. P.S. GT just wishes they had the luxury of signing the max allowable recruits!!!
December 23rd, 2012
9:39 am
Some of the Bama fans on the AJC make you want to pull against the SEC in the title game……but to them I say….enjoy the game…..because the rest of the SEC has come back up because of the new recruiting rule….forcing Bama to play by the actual rules when recruiting and managing the roster. The lower division schools are no longer….and can't be…..Bama's dump schools.
December 23rd, 2012

Even our fellow Gator fan gets it. I guess it is just too much reading comprehension for the Tide to handle.
December 23rd, 2012
9:48 am
But there is one additional rule I would like to see changed that all coaches are now taking unfair advantage of…..and that is the transfer rule. I think coaches are still misusing this process to their advantage. And I think players should be able to transfer without sitting out a year. Heck, the coaches can do it. And I think a transfer, if accepted by another school, should maybe count for more than one roster spot or maybe count as two recruits in one year.
December 23rd, 2012
9:49 am
You are correct Tampa Gator……..and when Kirby Smart takes over on January 9th Bama will be back to where they were just a few years ago (ie losers to UGa, FL, LSU, Auburn and TN every year). By the way, I know many folks believe Kirby is incredible, but I noticed that his All American loaded defense gave up 400 yards to UGa and LSU and over 500 to Texas A&M. Also, he didn't even slightly slow down UGa when it counted in the SEC CG. We all know how that game ended and it was thanks to UGa…..not Kirby's vaunted defense!!!
December 23rd, 2012
9:49 am
To all you baffoons who want to say CMR is bending the rules… take a hike!
The overall rule is 85 scholarships at any given time. It shouldn't and doesn't matter what year you fill your bucket, save the SEC 25/year limit.
Grayshirting and essentially kicking players off the team for "medical" issues are what we should be talking about. Tell me again who is noted for these practices? F NS the little Napoleon
December 23rd, 2012
9:53 am
Doesn't Tech only sign about 10 players a year? They should be able to get 35 signatures, too, if they recruit some of the nuns at St. Mary's house for the poor.
December 23rd, 2012
10:04 am
I'm NOT rooting for UA in the title game, just like I didn't pull for AU, UF, LSU or UA in any of the prior six. It doesn't make UGA better by association. What it DOES do is makes head to head recruiting that much harder. Especially when other teams break the rules (paying players, or truly oversigning).
December 23rd, 2012
10:05 am
As long as they stay within the total limit of 85 on scholarship at one time what's the big deal.. The problem before was certain coaches would have over 85 scholarship players.
December 23rd, 2012
10:10 am
Just saying,
The official stats I saw Bama gave up 396 yds to georgia. So you guys couldn't even hit the 400 yard barrier. Meanwhile we gained 519 yards total offense including running over, around, and through the dawg defense for 350 rushing yards.
As for the yardage we gave up to LSU we WON that game even after committing more turnovers and fumbling near their goal line. Ya'll just mad because Eddie Lacy and TJ Yeldon ran wild on your sorry ole defense.
December 23rd, 2012
10:12 am
Do you really think that Georgia players are the only ones that use marajuana? Out of all the players in the SEC, ONLY Georgia players do? Other coaches cover it up so their players can play. It's simple as that. And Bama fans can't say Georgia is cheating by over signing because Saban is KING of over signing…It doesn't matter though because Saban will be in Cleveland next year.
December 23rd, 2012
10:20 am
Bama fans are so stupid. Here we have an entire article dedicated to explaining to them that THIS IS NOT OVERSIGNING, and what do the bama fans do? They blow up the message board with cries of "mark richt is oversigning."
You can't make this stuff up. They really are that dumb.
December 23rd, 2012
10:22 am
Sooooooo. When Saban oversigns and backcounts recruits its blatant cheating. But when Richt does it then its playing by the rules. You dawg fans are nothing short of laughable.
OVERSIGNING IS OVERSIGNING. UGA is cheating and Richt is a CHEATER.

Key Additions
Keith Ballard, Jonathon Blum, Matt Cooke, Nino Niederreiter.
Key Subtractions
Matt Cullen, Devin Setoguchi, Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Cal Clutterbuck, Tom Gilbert, Justin Falk.
Last year: The Wild entered 2012-13 with high hopes after an uncharacteristic spending spree netted them last summer's two hottest free agents in Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.
And once the season started, the on-ice product performed promisingly enough, especially at home. The Wild went 4-2-1 in January riding the newly-revamped roster and a blend of tough defence and standout goaltending, buoyed by the emotional and inspirational play of Josh Harding, who's still mired in his battle with Multiple Sclerosis.
The Wild rolled along at a little better than .500 through to the middle of March and were nearly unbeatable at the Xcel Energy Center, posting a 13-3-1 home record through the season's first three months.
At the deadline, the team went all-in on Buffalo Sabres captain Jason Pominville, hoping his clutch playoff track record would provide the team a boost once May rolled around.
April, however, was disastrous for the Wild with the team winning just five of 14 games. The slump saw the Columbus Blue Jackets breathing down the Wild's neck for the eighth spot in the Western Conference playoffs and the Wild certainly didn't help themselves in the final week of the season by getting blown out at home by the Oilers and Flames.
To make matters worse, Pominville was concussed with just two games left in the regular season, dealing a team fighting for their playoff lives a serious talent and leadership blow.
They won the one that mattered most, though, beating the Colordo Avalanche in a win-and-you're-in final game of the season.
Minny showed some serious pluck in the post-season after losing Niklas Backstrom before the puck even dropped on Game 1.
The Wild took the eventual Cup-winning Chicago Blackhawks to overtime in two of the first three games of their opening-round series and even winning one. But the Hawks were too strong for the Wild, who had to resort to third-stringer Darcy Kuemper twice.
This Year: The Wild have a really nice blend of youth and experience throughout their lineup with one common current running through both sides: serious talent.
Captain Mikko Koivu, Pominville, Suter and Parise will shoulder the leadership burden enough to allow the likes of Mikael Granlund, Jonas Brodin and Nino Niederreiter the luxury of working on building up their skills as pros.
If the latter takes place this coming season and provides the Wild with a youthful boost in their secondary scoring, there's no reason why the Wild can't be competitive in their new division.
Backstrom's 2012-13 numbers slid a little from the averages he'd been putting up throughout his career, with the Finn posting a sub-.910 save percentage for just the second time in his career. If he's going to shoulder a similar load this coming season (Backstrom appeared in 42 of the Wild's 48 games last season), the team will need him to be better to start seeing the results they'd hoped for when they sprung for Parise and Suter.
Suter, meanwhile, took the leap forward the Wild expected of him last season. His first year away from Shea Weber proved he was no passenger on the blue line, as he led the NHL in ice-time and being named a Norris Trophy finalist.
The Wild will need him to do that again and hope that his blue line partner – Brodin – suffers no sophomore slump in a lengthened year.
Top Prospects: The Wild didn't get up to the podium on draft day until the 46th overall pick where they grabbed defender Gustav Olofsson.
But the Wild could afford a passive draft, after they saw three of their top prospects make contributions last season in Granlund, Brodin and Charlie Coyle.
Brodin had a stellar debut and made the All-Rookie Team, while Coyle and Granlund both got enough of a look that they should be considered everyday pieces for the Wild this year.
Fletcher also grabbed a high-potential young forward in Niederreiter, who - with some patience and further development - could help make up an explosive combination amongst the Wild's other offensive weapons.
As far as the players in waiting go, the Wild's system is still loaded despite mortgaging their first-rounder and a couple nice prospects to get Jason Pominville at the trade deadline.
Mathew Dumba had another great year in Red Deer, despite being one of the last cuts from Canada's World Junior squad - scoring 42 points in 62 games.
The Wild also have 2011 first-rounder Zack Phillips in the chute, who saw nearly a full season with Houston in 2012-13.
The Long and the Short – How will a full 82-game slate affect the Wild performance after a shortened season?
This is what has to be worrisome for Minny.
The bottom fell out as last season came to a close and had it been a full season, it would just have been the halfway point.
Like it or not, the Wild likely made the playoffs because the Blue Jackets ran out of time to pass them, so if they stumble again in 2013-14, they have to find a way to stop it from being a freefall.
The Wild are young so their legs will be fresh, but the team must find consistency this season fast and, more importantly, maintain it for seven months.
On the Books – What off-season moves did the Wild make to get themselves back in cap shape?
Minny did some minor surgery to do to get into cap shape after the Suter and Parise additions and used both a trade and a compliance buyout to get the job done.
The team was forced to buy out Tom Gilbert's remaining year, which saved them $4 million off the cap.
The team also shipped out Devin Setoguchi and his $3 million cap hit to Winnipeg, getting a second-round pick in return.
Long Division – A look at the intriguing possibilities ahead for the Wild after realignment.
It'll be an interesting experience for the Wild, who find themselves out of the Northwest Division for the first time in franchise history.
The Northwest was effectively dissolved, sending the three Canadian clubs to the Pacific and the Wild and Avs to the Central.
Luckily for the Wild, the Central looks to be a fairly open competition with the Blackhawks as the only perennial powerhouse amongst the seven. The St. Louis Blues will almost assuredly be a playoff team, but if the Wild play up to potential, they can keep pace and hopefully ahead of the likes of Winnipeg, Nashville, Colorado and Dallas.

Dany Heatley, RW - A power forward who has lost at least a step and is far from the days when he was good for 40 goals a season, Heatley is coming off shoulder surgery and played a career-low 18:32 per game, scoring a career-low 0.58 points per game (21 points in 36 gams) in 2013.
However, Heatley still has an opportunity to play on the Wild's top line with Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise. Even if that's not where Heatley ends up playing a regular shift, he's going to get power play time -- since 2005-2006, his 108 power play goals ranks third behind Alex Ovechkin and Teemu Selanne -- and playing in a scoring role for more than 18 minutes per game is still ample opportunity for a veteran forward going into a contract year to prove that he can still be productive.
Click here for the latest Fantasy News!
Unquestionably, the additions of Parise and Suter last summer were designed to set the pillars in place for a perennial contender.
That said, one would have to believe that Chuck Fletcher had a better outcome in mind than eighth place and a first round exit for the first year with the two American studs.
So, what – realistically – is the Wild's window to become a competitor and, possibly, a Champion? The clock is ticking, albeit not that fast.
Suter and Parise are in the Twin Cities until 2024-25 … a.k.a. the 'rest of their careers.'
Obviously, the team enjoys the leadership of Koivu, since he's signed on through the end of 2017-18 and Backstrom's got three years under contract, though age will be working against him.
The rest of "the future" for the Wild is likely still on rookie contracts. Brodin, Granlund, Dumba and - to a lesser extent - Niederreiter and Coyle are all still development.
But was bringing on two All-Stars last year a signal from the Wild to its fans that a long, successful future is ahead, or was it intended to be an immediate boost that would instantly make the Wild a force in the West?
If it's the former, then the Wild have nothing but time. But if it's the latter, one has to wonder how much patience the Wild's management and fans will have if they under-perform this coming season.
