The Upside of Piracy...
By Virginia Prescott & Britta Conroy-Randall
TV is big right now. Premium channel series like Mad Men, Girls, and Game of Thrones are the stuff of water cooler and Twitter conversations, leaving those without access to cable in quandary…do they patiently await the iTunes, or Netflix release? Or give in, and illegally download fresh episodes? Even law-abiding viewers admitted to pirating Downton Abbey from British television before it made it to PBS. Reporter Britta Conroy-Randall brings us more on the growing argument that piracy is actually good for art.

Orchid newbie
I bought this little orchid at Lowes. It had no flowers, but the price was right and I like the idea and the challenge of starting from a young plant. Based on my research, I tried my best to provide a good growing environment. I'm posting here because my plant seems to be failing to thrive. It doesn't seem to be doing any growing at all. I've had the plant about 2 months.
Here's the whole guy.
Slightly closer pointing out the single new development.
This is the tag that came with the plant.
This is a top-down shot of the roots and a bud (i don't know if that's the appropriate term.) The bud was there since before I owned it.
I repotted the orchid into bagged orchid mix from lowes. I've been using diluted MG orchid fertilizer. I water once per week unless it looks thirsty.
I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks in advance,
It might not do any growing till spring arrives and then it would start to grow a new pseudobulb from a growing eye at the base of the last pseudobulb to mature.
It also at some point in time as the new pseudobulb grows and matures grow some new roots.
I could provide some complete culture notes but they are written for a climate similar to San Diego so they would be pretty useless for your climate zone...So seek out complete culture notes for your climate zone.
One of the parents of your orchid is Lc. Drumbeat, used i think because it imparts vigour, easy growing and free flowering to progeny.
The bud you refer to is a seedling pbulb - it won't do anything. The yellow leaf is just an old leaf departing this world.
The newest growth should come from the biggest pbulb on the right of your top picture.
What kind of light is it receiving? It needs good strong sunlight for a good part of the day. Also the area of the US would help with additional information.
The plant came with a card that said that it needed only a modest amount of light. I'm coming to realize, however, that any advice/directions from a mass retailer, like Lowes, cannot be trusted.
I'm located in southern Massachusetts, and my orchid resides in my classroom (I'm a teacher). It used to sit on my desk, but a couple weeks ago I moved it to my window which I believe is south-west-ish facing. It receives bright indirect light most of the day, and about two hours of direct sun in the afternoon.
It is good you moved it to a sunnier window. Keep an eye on the bark, as Josh mentioned, it might be too dry. Stick your finger down into the bark and see if it is damp.
If you want, you could carefully peel the brown sheath on the base of the largest leaf. If growth is beginning, you should see a triangular 'eye' beginning to swell. Just be careful not to damage it. That would be your new growth for this year.
If all is good, you should be seeing signs of growth soon.
Sticking my finger into the bark is not feasible due to the small size of the pot and the large size of the chunks of bark. I think I might try watering more frequently. Would it be beneficial to thoroughly soak at the sink, and then apply some dilute fertilizer? Would that be silly and over-complicated?
Just apply basic orchid care and stand back, the plant will do the rest.
Water it once a week
Fertilize with 1/2 strength fertilizer every 2 weeks.
Give it a lot of light but keep it out of direct sun.
Repot it once every 1 1/2 years.
If you do the above, 90% of the orchids from HD, Trader Joe's or Lows will love you. You don't want the other 10% at this time.
Al, I find that slightly warm water will saturate the bark more readily.
If you wet the pot thoroughly and let it set a couple minutes before watering again,
you'll be able to overcome the bark's hydrophobic tendency.
I agree with Nick on the reduced fertilizer rate every couple weeks.

O'Connell injury blow for Ireland
ESPN Staff
November 7, 2012
Ireland's Paul O'Connell will miss this Saturday's showdown with the Springboks due to a back injury © Getty Images
Ireland's Paul O'Connell has been ruled out of his side's clash with South Africa on Saturday with a back injury.
The veteran second row looked set to make his first international appearance since the Six Nations having trained with the squad earlier this week. But the 33-year-old, who only returned to action last month having been sidelined since May with knee and back problems, has suffered a reaction and will sit out this weekend's Aviva Stadium showdown.
"Paul returned to training at the start of this week and took a full part in the squad sessions on Monday and Tuesday," read a statement released by the Irish Rugby Football Union. "However, he suffered a reaction and will not be fit for selection for this weekend's game. Paul will see a specialist in the coming days and an update will be issued in due course."
The news is a fresh blow for Ireland coach Declan Kidney who has already been stripped of the services of centre Brian O'Driscoll (ankle), hooker Rory Best (neck), flanker Sean O'Brien (hip) and fullback Rob Kearney (back) for the game against the Springboks and the following games against Fiji and Argentina. In addition, flanker Stephen Ferris is sidelined with an ankle injury and may only feature against the Pumas.
With O'Driscoll and Best out of action, O'Connell was also expected to assume the captaincy with No.8 Jamie Heaslip and fly-half Jonathan Sexton now in line to be named skipper.

Concerns remain for France
Ian Moriarty
October 11, 2011
Marc Lievremont has against all expectations carried France to the semi-finals but is it because of him or in spite of him? © Getty Images
And so it came to pass. France play Wales in a World Cup semi-final this weekend, despite almost all French players, coaches and supporters at a loss as to how it came about. For a side that lost two games in the pool stages and suffered a squad meltdown, not to mention an irreparable rift between the coach and some players, France are 80 minutes from a World Cup final.
Having turned up for just 10 minutes against the All Blacks, they managed a full half against an awful English side, but they'll have to show a huge amount more to beat an in-form Wales side.
To their credit, France's players showed the kind of spirit and personal responsibility last weekend which has been hitherto lacking in this tournament. Lièvremont has been the focus of all of the nation's ire for the last few weeks but then again he's been an easy target.
Squad meltdown or not, the performance of some players in the Tonga game was downright disgraceful and while Lièvremont deserves it in the ear for his numerous selection and tactical mistakes, he cannot wear the jersey for the players.
With that nightmare now a not quite distant memory and that morale-boosting quarter final win against England in the back pocket, Les Bleus move onto the next level at Eden Park on Saturday with the whole rugby world wondering if they've got the cojones to put back-to-back performances together.
Naming an unchanged team for this weekend's game could be considered something of a bold new step for Lièvremont if he is indeed the person in charge of the controls. The preference of Morgan Parra over Francois Trinh-Duc at flyhalf continues to baffle and will once again be the major weak link this weekend against the Welsh.
The Dusautoir-Bonnaire-Harinordoquy troika were superb last weekend but they'll have their work cut out defending the No. 10 channel against the all-singing, all-dancing Wales backrow, and a re-born Jamie Roberts.
Then there is the scrum. France's front row was boosted last weekend with the return of Nicolas Mas at tighthead but the lingering presence of Jean-Baptiste Poux over the out of form Fabien Barcella continues to be an issue for France.
An imperious front row has been one of the few constants during the Lièvremont era but the loss of Thomas Domingo before the World Cup, allied to the injury problems of Barcella, Servat and Mas has meant the de-powering of an area that has always been a source of strength.
As this stage of the competition, the lure of the shining golden prize in the distance is motivation enough for the players so the very least we can expect from France will be a passionate, committed performance.
We know too that when the game breaks up, in Maxime Medard, Alexis Palisson and Vincent Clerc, France have some wonderful runners. But Les Bleus are brittle, as they have always been during Lièvremont's tenure and that could be decisive.
Talent and a big dollop of luck has got France this far, but the FFR-sanctioned 'curse of Marc Lièvremont' could still derail France's hopes.

My new snowpeople project
I love to craft. I do mostly tole painting. I have been selling crafts for the last 7 years or so... For the past few years as I've gotten older,shows are just too much. Shows are alot like moving so I only do the Christmas season now. I haven't sewn since HS, many, many, years ago. I am hoping for feed back for improving on this idea, or maybe not making at all. They are quite labor intensive and craft shows aren't what they used to be, however I do enjoy making them. Any positive and or negative feedback would be appriciated as I don't know if these will even sell. I did enjoy giving these as gifts last Christmas though.
Thanks to all
OMG sooo cute! would so love to see a larger photo! took a look at your other snowman, all are soo cute! love the cute faces and all the extra detail you add, what a wonderful gift! I am sure you would have no trouble saleing them! very beautiful indeed!
Happy Crafting
Candy, your snowpeople are darling--such cute faces and outfits. I can't advise you on selling crafts, but I'm sure some of these other ladies can help.
Oddie mentioned posting your painting pics in the gallery on the Painting forum, so I am posting a link to make it easy for you to find it.
There are three sections on the Painting forum, gallery-discussions-and conversations. You can find the links about a third of the way down on the page, right in the middle. Please visit all three sections and chime in with your ideas and comments on any of the posts.
And good luck with your sales of your snowmen crafts too.
Here is a link that might be useful: Painting forum gallery
I think I have this photobucket thing figured out...if not I posted a new message that works...I think Ha
Thanks again everyone for the comments. I will submit photos of snowpeople to some shows and see what happens.

Pirelli acquisition proof of ChemChina's vision and strength, says Heuver Tyrewholesale
Heuver Tyrewholesale, distributor of the Aeolus tyre brand in eight continental European markets, says it expects "many developments" now that its parent company ChemChina has acquired a share in Pirelli. Commenting on the transaction, director Bertus Heuver said "ChemChina is China's largest tyre manufacturer and Aeolus Tyres is its leading international brand. We agreed import rights for Aeolus ten years ago, and immediately noticed their ambitions and willingness to make investments. So ChemChina's decision to take over Pirelli is merely an extension of their existing philosophy and is proof of their vision and strength.

Prior to the start of yesterday's Malaysian Grand Prix, Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery expected teams to make three tyre change stops during the race. Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel opted to stop only twice, and this may well have been the decisive factor in his 8.57 second victory over Lewis Hamilton. The Malaysian GP victory was the first win for Vettel and Ferrari since 2013, and this fourth victory in Malaysia – the 40th of his career – means that Vettel is now the most successful driver in the history of the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Tuning in to RFID – 'Chipping' retreaded tyres saves time & adds value, says Roline
Innovative practices aren't only found amongst the big players in the retreading industry. One small Dutch firm has invested in a better way of keeping tabs on the tyres it retreads, and aims to extend this to the fleets it works with. In February, Tyres & Accessories spoke with Hans Jörg from Lopik-based retreader Roline, and learnt how a technology of interest to top level motorsport is being used in retreaded bus and truck tyres.

Following confirmation that ChemChina is set to buy Pirelli, the Italian manufacturer's CEO, Marco Tronchetti Provera, has sought to re-assure employees that "the agreement with the Chinese will have no impact on employment".

Rammus must be banned in Dominion because most people ghost q and buy mobility boots and get top tower so early and u cant stop it...=S
Senior Member
this is old news, if rammus doesnt get banned just queu dodge, theres no penalty anymore
Uh, I've never seen a Rammus cap before we were able to stop him...
Buru Diman
If a Rammus uses Powerball/Ghost and buy Mobility Boots to get to Windmill first, it means you will be able to kill him easily once you get there seconds later.
General Ryon
i played a few games as rammus rushed sunfire and thornamil even though they had 3 casters and it didnt matter rammus W gives him well over 200 mr my TM sunfire cape taunt W combo killed any mage in 3 seconds that didnt build a giants belt or mr very early. although i main eve and i repeatedly oen shot other rammus's with my op combo. if you play mages to plan to counter rammus what do you do about the enemy talon then besides get one shotted? making a team comp to counter one champ leaves your team very week to many other classes and rammus wants focused hes the tank...if your able to burst rammus through his W and whatever extra mr and health he has in items i want to know how. Rammus's that arnt to bright are easy to shutdown but a pro rammus wont build armor against an ap burst team he'll build mr and you still wont do dmg and he will walk on your face. the best way to counter rammus is get a little MR yourself he does about 85% magic dmg. Rammus doesnt build Mpen so even just 100mr will greatly reduce his dmg. This however wont stop you from getting taunted and killed over the next 3 seconds by whoever else is around. Are there ways to shutdown rammus? yes, the problem is how much it takes to counter rammus, same thing with akali, poppy and others.
and idk how you can easily kill rammus at lvl 3/4 he should have at least 1 point in his W and probly tank runes/masteries putting him at over 100 of each resist much tankier than any other champ. Again focusing the tank will just get your team killed by their dps as he soaks up the dmg and walks away. Dominion is a rock paper scissors game most of the time. "op" champs are 2 of those things like rock and paper with very little weekness and unkillable 1v1 in most situations. Even if you are a a pair of super scissors your going to have problems because your enemy is part rock.
Nasus. Wither. GG. Rammus will NEVER get close enough ever again.

Open season is one of the funniest book I've read in a long time!!! enjoy.
This is one of the funniest books I've ever read. Howard's depiction of an uptight librarian looking to turn bad-girl as she approaches her 34th birthday is hilarious. Good, suspenseful story too! Much better than Howard's recent books. Highly recommended!

Waldrom lands in Dunedin
ESPNscrum Staff
September 21, 2011
Leicester Tigers No. 8 Thomas arrives at Dunedin Airport after answering Martin Johhson's England call © Getty Images
Leicester Tigers No. 8 Thomas Waldrom landed in Dunedin this morning hardly able to believe the call that has put him on the edge of England's Rugby World Cup bid.
Waldrom was involved the Leicester Tigers 27-26 victory over Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park on Saturday and was expecting to pore over the Aviva Premiership match with Richard Cockerill.
However, within minutes of the Director of Rugby calling him in to the office on Monday morning, he was packing his bags to fly out to New Zealand as cover for Harlequins Nick Easter, who did not train yesterday because of a sore back.
"It wasn't what I expecting when I went into Cockers' office," said Waldrom after arriving at Dunedin Airport. "I just thought we were going to talk about the game but he said go and sort out stuff at home and then you are on a plane to New Zealand."
Less than three hours later, having said goodbye to wife Emma, son Troy and his nine-week old brother Kade - "I'm afraid I left a bit of mess for the missus!" - Waldrom was in a taxi to Heathrow and ready to step up to the plate if Martin Johnson requires.
He said: "It's just a case of being out here; it's up to Johnno what he wants and how Nick's injury comes along. I'll just have to sit and wait but it's one of those things you have to do. Cockers didn't have to let me go but he knows what an opportunity it is if I do get into the squad so he let me go and big thanks to the Tigers."
Waldrom, who was part of England's 45-man Rugby World Cup Preliminary Squad, spent several hours on the flight studying his 'playbook'.
The 28-year-old has been watching England' victories over Argentina and Georgia and added: "England have had a fairly good start - everyone know there has been a few mistakes but I can see what they are trying to so - and I'm sure it'll build over the next few weeks."

Virtualization and cloud computing have changed the requirements for management solutions in a way that no innovation in the history of our industry ever have. Previous innovations created new requirements, but did not break existing management approaches or business models. Virtualization breaks both the existing legacy approaches to managing applications and systems, and breaks how one must manage applications in this new environment. The revolution has only just started.

The Rise of Application Operations and the Role for Next Generation APM Solutions
• • 1 Comment
The need to virtualize every application, along with the need to support constantly arriving new and newly changed applications will drive the creation of an Application Operations function in the enterprise. This function will need to be supported and enabled by a new generation of APM tools that meet the new requirements of the Application Operations team.

Application Performance Management for Virtualized Applications – the VMware vFabric APM Update
• • 2 Comments
As business critical applications move into production virtualized environments, the need arises to ensure their performance from a response time perspective. Legacy Applications Performance Management tools are not well suited to make the jump from static physical systems, to dynamic virtual and cloud based systems. For these reasons enterprises need to consider new tools from vendors that have virtualization aware and cloud aware features in their APM solutions. Vendors like AppDynamics, BlueStripe, Confio, dynatrace, ExtraHop, New Relic, Quest, VMTurbo and VMware (vFabric AppInsight) are currently leading this race to redefine the market for APM solutions.

Looking at the Entire VMware Operations and Application Management Strategy
• • 0 Comments
VMware is clearly serious about extending its management reach into the application layer of the stack. New products like vFabric AppDirector, and vFabric APM make this into more than intention – they make VMware's participation in these markets a reality as well. The move to remake the APM industry has thus far been lead by creative startups like New Relic, AppDynamics, BlueStripe, dynaTrace and ExtraHop. Now VMware has joined this effort will add considerable mass and velocity to the effort. The message is clear – it is time to instrument all of your applications for response time and the legacy APM vendors do not have the products that are up to the task.
One of the biggest things I took away from the VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas was the all advancements within the storage part of virtualization. For me, this was the year for storage. One product that really got my attention was the new NAS appliance, VMstore from Tintri. This 3U appliance, well 5U if you count the UPC, is a single datastore with 8.5TB of usable storage. This appliance was a collaboration of some very smart individuals from different companies like VMware, Datadomain, NetApp and Sun. They put their minds together and built this NFS appliance from the ground up with specially engineered file system to work with virtualization. What makes this VM-aware appliance different from other typical storage designs is VMstore uses VM's and virtual disks as the abstractions instead of the conventional storage abstractions, volumes, LUN's and files that we have all been accustomed to. Each I/O request will map directly to a virtual disk all while VMstore monitors, controls the I/O and presents disk performance statistics per VM or per VMDK.

VMware Joins the APM Revolution with vFabric Application Performance Manager
• • 1 Comment
With vFabric APM VMware has announced a compelling entry into the APM space, joining the current set of APM innovators – New Relic, AppDynamics, BlueStripe, dynaTrace and ExtraHop. The innovations that VMware is bringing to the table will usher in a redefinition of what APM is, from a performance and availability tool for the development team, to a strategic applications management platform that enables price/performance comparison shopping by application owners. Once the price/performance features are fully implemented, this may do more to enable performance sensitive applications to move to public clouds than any other thing that VMware has done.
Less than 5% of the applications that matter to enterprises world wide are under management by an APM solution that can help ensure application response time, application availability and the integrity of the critical transactions within the application. This is because first generation APM solutions have been too expensive to purchase, too limited in their scope and too expensive to configure, maintain and own.
The focus upon sharing real response time and transaction load data by SalesForce.com is notable when compared with the pre-historic approach to performance that is used by many cloud vendors (and for a matter of fact many enterprise IT organizations). Response Time correlates directly to end user experience and at the end of the day that is all that matters. Hopefully the industry will learn from SalesForce.com and advance this concept further.

Dream House
2011 Directed by Jim Sheridan
Once upon a time, there were two little girls who lived in a house.
Publisher Will Atenton (Daniel Craig) quits a lucrative job in New York to relocate his wife, Libby (Rachel Weisz), and their daughters to a quaint town in New England. As they settle into their home, however, the Atentons discover that a woman and her children were murdered there, and the surviving husband is the town's prime suspect. With help from a neighbor (Naomi Watts) who was close to the murdered family, Will pieces together a horrifying chain of events.

Unsurprisingly, during Dream House, you would have caught me yawning most of the way through it. In fact, watching me dream would have been less tiresome!
This is not an invitation to watch me sleep. You weirdo.
It showed promise, but came completely apart after the second act. A great cast, completely wasted. It's not director Jim Sheridan's fault. The producer changed the film completely, and Sheridan even tried to take them to court to make it a 'Smithee' film. He lost, but the cast stood by him and refused to promote the movie.
What could have been a solid psychological thriller is unfortunately crippled by a weak script, a punishing slow pace and an overdone haunting atmosphere that is never subtle enough to be scary. The puzzle-like narrative could have done with a few more unpredictable turns, but the rest of the narrative can ever match the initial twist. The talented cast, headlined by Daniel Craig, lift it from the rubble, but fail to truly revive it from what seems to be an over elaborate B-movie.
It's shot and performed well...but, some films are just bad. They just are.
Daniel Craig moves from the big city to a beautiful suburban home with his wife Rachel Weisz and their two daughters. What at first is an idyllic home for his family becomes disturbing once he learns that the previous resident murdered his family then himself.
It has all the potential of an excellent psychological thriller with a great cast that's boosted by Naomi Watts. Sadly it never achieves it's potential and wastes a great premise. That's not to say it's a bad movie because it's not, I enjoyed it.
For a long time I've mistaken this movie by chinese "Dream Home", one of the most visceral and gory horror movies I've seen, a favorite. The resemblance is only left for the title though, I always knew this american one was something closer to a haunting story than the sheer massacre from the chinese movie.
Now I think it'll be easier to spot the different, because Dream Home is a movie to remember with all its crazy over the top violence, while Dream House is a movie to forget, with all its cliché and plot twist. The unfolding of the story happened without any climax, and most of it is quite predictable, a shame since the movie relies on that.…

Sakarīgs gabals par to kā Daniels Kreigs iet sviestā un pats to neapzinās. Šī gan ir viena no tām filmām, kuru skatīties otro reizi vairs ne tuvu nebūs interesanti.
Why does Elias Koteas reduce himself to stupid roles.
Not bad. Not an ending I exactly predicted (though I did sense it would be very "Others").
I found myself again yelling at the screen "WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A WEAPON!" when someone is running out into the dark (woods, mind you) after someone else in a hoodie.
Besides that, I liked the story.
I was surprised the twist came so early because they usually wait for that till the end. And I wondered what the hell else they were going to use for the second half of the movie. But, I was impressed with what the directors and writers came up with.
Also, the cast is A+ for me.
It's a shame what's happened to Jim Sheridan - after bouncing back from 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' with the decent 'Brothers', he falls flat on his face again with a mess of a film (although Morgan Creek are to blame for this travesty) One of Ireland's finest directors, I hope he swerves Hollywood and goes back to making the culturally strong films he was known for in the 80s/90s.

Parece increible que alguien intente hacer una pelicula que intente algo original con casas poseidas, pero esta pelicula lo intenta y lo consigue. Alejandose del terror para presentar un thriller psicologico con algun sustito, la peli entretiene y tiene sorpresas en el guion como para justioficar su visionado.
Anna had seen this movie previously and really thought I should check it out. Apparently she didn't pay attention though because it kind of seemed like her first time watching it.
I'd say this is a pretty solid movie. But I do kind of feel like the twist in the middle of the film came a little earlier than I would have liked it. Overall I'd highly suggest people check it out.
Just a mindless, tedious chore of a movie.

The Taste December, 2005 Newsletter for www.tasteofgrace.com Taste of Grace Via de Cristo firstname.lastname@example.com Rejoice And there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you; you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."

Bring a friend to Christ 3 The Taste Newsletter for December, 2005 Taste of Grace Via de Cristo From the Spiritual Director… Advent – prepare. Christmas – receive. Epiphany – share. It is a great time of the church year for Christians, especially for the Fourth Day community of Via de Cristo and other Cursillo movements. Why? Because these three seasonal themes, prepare, receive, share, are 'echoed' in a Via de Cristo weekend. Prepare – team formation, prayer, getting candidate and letters, trusting God. Receive – focus on the candidates to receive all that God has to offer, especially the gift of Jesus Christ and all that Christ means. But, we that serve on team also receive his grace and love. Share – the simplest meaning of the 4th Day – pass it on! Last week, as I prepared my sermon for the 4th Sunday in Advent, Pam shared an e-devotion with me from Max Lucado. It's about Mary, and her saying "Here am I, the servant of the Lord." Lucado called his devotion "CHRIST IN ME," and it went like this: Like Mary, you and I are to be "indwelt" by Christ. Find that hard to believe? How much more did Mary? No one was more surprised by this miracle than she was. And no one was more passive than she was. God did everything. Mary didn't volunteer to help. What did she have to offer? Mary offered no assistance. And she offered no resistance. Instead she said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38). Unlike Mary, we tend to assist God, assuming our part is as important as God's. Or we resist, thinking we are too bad or too busy. Yet when we assist or resist, we miss God's great grace. We miss out on the reason we were placed on earth – God wants us to be so pregnant with heaven's Child that he lives through us. To be so full of Christ that we could say with Paul, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ that lives in me." (Gal. 2:20) What would that be like? To have a child within is a miracle, but to have Christ within? To have my voice, but him speaking. My steps, but Christ leading. My heart, but his love beating in me, through me, with me. What's it like to have Christ on the inside? To tap his strength when mine expires or feel the force of heaven's fires raging, purging wrong desires. Could Christ become my self entire? So much him, so little me That in my eyes it's him they see. What's it like to a Mary be? No longer I, but Christ in me. May all of us continue to prepare for Christ, to receive Christ, and to share Christ in all that we say and do. He is, after all, the reason for the season! In his love and service, ] Pr. Craig 4 The Taste Newsletter for December, 2005 Taste of Grace Via de Cristo TOG Leader's Training We will all be hearing the familiar Nativity verses from Luke this holiday season "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." Yet with all the conflict and strife in our cities, our country, and our world, it is hard to imagine what the angels were heralding so long ago. It seems that nothing has changed - there is no peace even after 2000 years! So what were the angels talking about when they appeared to the shepherds? They were speaking of peace between God and man, not peace among mankind. Even Jesus made it clear that His first coming to earth was not for the purpose of bringing peace on earth. "Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division." (Luke 12:51) Yet even we Christians, knowing "the rest of the story," want Jesus to be an earthly King and save the world. However the real purpose in Jesus' coming was to make things right between God and man. That is where we, as Christian Leaders come in. As we all heard in the Leader's rollo, it is our responsibility to help others discover the love of Christ and to help them become right with God. One way to do this is to become more actively involved with the leadership roles on Taste of Grace weekends. A Leaders training has been scheduled for Saturday, February 11, 2006 at Shepherd of the Hill Lutheran Church in Lockport. The training will be from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, with a BYO working lunch. The training is intended for persons interested in assuming a future role as head chas and rectors/rectoras. Please prayerfully consider attending this training. There is no charge for the training and no future obligation. If you are interested in learning more about the training or would like to sign up for it, please contact me at (815) 936-0173 or email@example.com. It is important that anyone interested in attending the training contact me by February 7, 2006, so that I have enough materials prepared for the training. Peace and blessings to you, Pam Sagebiel 5 The Taste Newsletter for December, 2005 Taste of Grace Via de Cristo Dear Friends in Christ, This morning the "Legend of the Candy Cane" was shared with me and I'd like to share it with you… The Legend of the Candy Cane According to legend there was a candy maker who wanted to invent a candy that was a witness to Christ. First of all, he used a hard candy because Christ is the rock of ages. This hard candy was shaped so that it would resemble a "J" for Jesus or, turned upside down, a shepherd's staff. He made it white to represent the purity of Christ. Finally a red stripe was added to represent the blood Christ shed for the sins of the world, and three thinner red stripes for the stripes He received on our behalf when the Roman soldiers whipped Him. Sometimes a green stripe is added as a reminder that Jesus is a gift from God. The flavor of the cane is peppermint, which is similar to hyssop. Hyssop is in the mint family and was used in the Old Testament for purification and sacrifice. Jesus is the pure Lamb of God, come to be a sacrifice for the sins of the world. So, every time you see a candy cane, remember the message of the candy maker: Jesus is the Christ! The truth of this legend is unknown… however, what a wonderful faith reminder for us (and for our families) each time we see a Candy Cane shaped like a shepherd's staff we can be reminded of Jesus: the Good Shepherd. John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd." John 10:14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me…" Merry Christmas!

Startups are companies set up to test business models developed around new ideas. Typically they have fewer than fifty employees. Startups are usually made up of developers and designers – people who write code and those who can design a consumer-friendly interface. To build their idea startups work with investors. Investors are drawn to startups because the cost is low and despite higher risk, can offer significantly higher returns if the idea becomes popular. Once funded, startups can grow quickly while maintaining low costs and limited labor.

Autumn weekend in Cape Cod?
My sister, brother and I will be spending 4 days in S. Wellfleet next weekend. I know there is a Seafood Festival going on, but in addition to that, would like to do something interesting each day. We have not been there in 40 years - so have no idea what to plan. We will have a car, so can travel to other areas of interest.
For those of you who are familiar with the area, what would you suggest?
We just went to the Cape in June for the first time in about 10 years. And we live in MA!
Definitely go for a long walk on the beach.
Have lunch at the Bookstore in Wellfleet. Check out the Left Bank Gallery, too.
We stayed in Chatham and enjoyed browsing the shops downtown and had a great dinner at the Impudent Oyster.
I'm sure you'll get other ideas from people who go there more than once every 10 years. I will say we don't consider ourselves "Cape people" but when we were there in June, we were reminded of how pretty it is. There's no place like it!
Go out on one of the boat "cruises" to see (or try to see) whales? If you all are sure you won't be hanging over the edge of the boat for the duration! I'd take a hoodie.
CapeCodToday.com mentions a lighthouse cruise (tho it's an all-day thing), a wine tasting (E. Falmouth) ...
One time I went on a seal watching tour from Chatham. It was fun and you're not out in the open ocean. Unfortunately, I get seasick easily, so no whale watching for me. Another interesting thing to do in Chatham is to watch the fishing boats unload their catch at the Fish Pier.
Is the Flea Market at The Wellfleet Drive-In open all year? It's held on Saturdays and is fun.
It's not super close to Wellfleet but I LOVE the Sandwich Glass Museum... and Sandwich itself is a charming little town - it's also the last weekend for the walking tour of the town they offer. If you are into that sort of thing and go, I highly recommend you get there early enough to see the glass blowing demonstration... the woman who was there when I went was fantastic and if you go to the last demo of the day, she attempts a very very large piece (often does not work but you get a good discussion about why etc). Anyway I am a real glass person so I loved this.
If you like architecture and lighthouses, I would look into lighthouse tours - there are a ton around here. Not sure what their hours are... Columbus day is kind of the last big hurrah around here before the seasonal stuff closes down for the winter. Not sure if any of the whale watching cruises or stuff like that is going on.
I don't know the cape all that well but I moved to Martha's Vineyard almost a year ago. Fall is my favorite time here but that is because things quiet down! It's beautiful here on the island and might make a nice day trip but a lot of stuff is closed down right now - but there are still walking trails with gorgeous views, downtown Vineyard Haven has a lot of stuff open year round and some of my favorite restaurants are open year round. The ferry ride is also really nice! If you come to the island I can give you some pointers on that.
I love Cape Cod, and always enjoy the wildlife sanctuary.
Have a wonderful trip!
