All of these situations involving sex offenses—and undoubtedly others—have happened at Unitarian Universalist congregations. In each case, the minister, the board of trustees, and key lay leaders didn't know what to do. One minister reports that "this was the most difficult decision I have faced in fifteen years in ministry." These situations can exacerbate people's most painful personal histories, and congregations often experience divisive conflicts over how to handle such situations.
This manual is designed to help. It offers information and procedural suggestions for leaders faced with the difficult task of helping the congregation decide if and how to include a sexual offender in their religious community. The facts and circumstances of the particular situation you are dealing with are of critical importance as you seek to make the best decisions for all involved.
Note to Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse: By reading this report or your congregation deciding to include people with a history of sexual offense, you may experience increased feelings of physical, emotional or spiritual pain. The work described in this manual must be done in conjunction with efforts to address the experience and needs of survivors and victims as well. Go to Safe Congregations for more information including the report "Restorative Justice for All."
Child sexual abuse is a devastating social and public health problem. It is also a crime. Half a million children are thought to be sexually abused each year. [i] These children are violated in the most soul scarring ways, and in the majority of cases, by people they know and trust. The results are often pernicious and life long. Many survivors of child sexual abuse experience depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress syndrome, reduced sexual desire, and problems with intimate relationships in adulthood. [ii]
There have always been people who are sexually attracted to children in congregations. In every congregation, there are abusers, victims, survivors, and bystanders of childhood sexual abuse. The recent crisis in the U.S. Catholic Church dramatically illustrated that people we love and admire may turn out to be sex offenders, causing irreparable damage to people's lives. Unitarian Universalists are not immune. We also know that most sexual abuse occurs among family members, and we may not be aware of the abuse that is currently occurring in families that are in our congregations. Many of our children and youth who have participated in the Our Whole Lives program are speaking up as a result of receiving education about child sexual abuse. As a result of a 1996 federal law, every state now has a notification law for sex offenders who have served prison time and are now back in the community. The federal law required states to pass laws mandating that convicted sex offenders register with the local law enforcement agency after release and that states make these registries available to the general public. Over time, each state and the District of Columbia have adopted statutes modeled after the federal legislation, referred to as Megan's Law. This law is in memory of Megan Kanka, a seven-year-old girl, raped and murdered by a neighbor who, unknown to her family, was a convicted sex offender. [iii] In 2000, the Supreme Court found the laws constitutional. These registries include people who have committed a wide range of offenses, from child molestation to rape to exhibitionism and voyeurism to 19-year- olds who had sexual intercourse with their 15-year-old boyfriend or girlfriend and were reported by irate parents. It is estimated that as many as half a million people may be listed on these registries; the State of California alone has more than 75,000 people listed. [To find out how to obtain the local registry, contact the local police department or sheriff's office. The KlaasKids Foundation has an updated list of state laws based on Megan's Law—click on the button for "legislation" to be directed to your state's law and registry.]
Despite these shockingly high numbers of registered sex offenders, it is still true that the vast majority (88%) of sex offenses are not reported. [iv] The large majority of people who commit sex offenses do not serve time in prison or receive mandated treatment. The fact is that even with registries, there is no way we can know for sure who may abuse children.
Yet, we have a responsibity and a commitment to keep our children and youth safe from the person sexually attracted to children and/or youth whether or not they have a history of molesting children/youth. There are policies and practices that we can implement in our congregations to assure that the possibility of sexual abuse is greatly reduced. These policies can also address the safety of vulnerable adults, especially those who may face developmental delays. This manual is grounded in our Unitarian Universalist principles and practices. We believe in the dignity and worth of every person – EVERY person includes the person who has abused children, no matter how morally repugnant that person's past behavior has been. We believe in justice, equity, and compassion in human relations - qualities that we must bring to thinking about this difficult issue. We affirm the use of the democratic process in our congregations, and must honor that in the hard work we do together in community. We are challenged to confront the powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love and called to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science. The report entitled "Restorative Justice for All" stated it this way, "We place a high value on creating a culture of sanctuary within our congregations. Anyone should be able to enter our houses of worship without fear of being exploited in any way." [v]
The preamble from the safety policies of one Unitarian Universalist congregation expresses this commitment in these words:
"Our commitments, as Unitarian Universalists, to the inherent dignity and worth of every person and to justice and compassion, compel us to create a safe environment that protects children and youth from harm and promotes their spiritual growth. We believe our church must respond to this challenge, because it is a special place that highly values the ideals of community and the search for truth. It is a place that encourages personal growth, allows for personal truths, and supports individuals and families in their efforts to build better lives and a better society. As a caring, intergenerational community we can respond to those in need in broader, more flexible ways than many other institutions. We accept the responsibility to educate ourselves and our children about sexual misconduct, abuse, molestation, harassment and exploitation. We pledge to do our best to protect and support those who come either at risk or in crisis. We as a congregation pledge to conduct ourselves in a manner which conveys mutual respect and consideration."

We as a congregation pledge to conduct ourselves in a manner which conveys mutual respect and consideration."
This manual is based on three tenets that indeed present a balancing act, as faith communities develop policies:
This manual is first about primary prevention. We hope that by raising the issues around sexual abuse and sex offenders, congregations can institute policies before there is a crisis. Some UU congregations may want to think "these issues don't affect us. After all, no one in our congregation would do these types of terrible things." Unfortunately, even the "nicest people" may do these types of things. One estimate is that between 7 and 10% of the population may have a sexual inclination towards arousal by children. Many of these people will never act on their feelings, and some will. With the increased use of sex offender registries, we will often know (or can find out) when a convicted sex offender enters our community.
If the congregation does not address these issues before they occur, there is likely to be a sense of panic and crisis when a sex offender starts attending activities at the congregation, if someone in the congregation is accused of abuse, or when the minister, Religious Educator, or a member finds out that a congregant has a history of abusing children or youth. If you are in the midst of one of these situations and do not have policies in place, you may want to first go to "During A Crisis."
This manual provides background information on child sexual abuse, sexual abuse prevention, pedophiles, and others who abuse children. There are three important considerations to keep in mind while reading this manual to help bring perspective to commonly held beliefs about child sexual abuse:
There are a minimum number of policies that every congregation should consider in order to keep children and youth safe and to build the foundation for dealing with a convicted sex offender.
Here's a quick self assessment check list for your congregation.
The next section offers information and guidance to assist congregations in implementing the recommendations in the above check list.
"We fall into a trap when we demonize offenders as another class of humanity and think all we have to do is figure out who they are for members of our congregations to be safe. Violence committed by strangers is not the greatest source of sexual abuse. We're wrong…if we believe that protecting ourselves against sexual predators is most importantly a matter of tightening the sex offender registry, educating children on 'Stranger Danger', and knowing when a convicted pedophile moves into the neighborhood. Law enforcement officials and doctors tell us that these efforts fail to address one group that, statistically, poses the greatest threat to children: male relatives and trusted family or community friends."

A Malayali home-maker in Dubai was in for a shock when she went out of her way to help a Kerala woman escape from a brothel in the Gulf state. In a letter to Kerala Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, she has accused an employee of the Indian consulate of being part of a prostitution racket in the UAE.
The home-maker's letter was passed on to the minister last month by Anweshi, a non-governmental organisation working for women's rights. Since then, Anweshi has been flooded with abusive telephone calls.
The letter was written after the home-maker was allegedly threatened by a consulate employee, known only by his first name. In mid-2012, she had tried to help a Malayali woman who was lured to Ajman with the offer of a maid job at a Malayali doctor's house in Dubai. Only on reaching Ajman did she realise that she was trapped in a prostitution racket allegedly run by Lissy Sojan, also known as Leena Basheer and Aswathy, a person wanted by the Kerala Police.
The victim was locked up and raped repeatedly by the brothel's customers. In their attempts to free the victim, her family contacted the Malayali home-maker living in UAE, who eventually managed to help. In the letter detailing her attempt, she said she first tried to contact the Indian consulate at Dubai through their emergency number. In response to the distress call, the consulate asked her to send in a mail with the details of the case and said action would be taken only after the weekend holiday, she said.
She later went to the Ajman police, who raided an apartment being used as a brothel by the racket. A man named Manish, believed to be Sojan's driver, was arrested from the flat. Four victims of the racket, three of them from Kerala, were also arrested from the apartment.
According to her letter, the Indian consulate official – who is also Malayali – visited the victim in prison and verbally abused her and allegedly threatened the home-maker for rescuing the victim from the flat.
Responding to The Hindu's queries, Sanjay Verma, Consul General, confirmed that the consulate employee was part of the team that visited the Ajman prison to examine the case. However, he termed the allegations that consulate officials were protecting those involved in human trafficking as 'baseless.' He said the consulate had been tracking the victim's case and had tried to meet her when she was housed at a shelter in Ras Al Khaima, but they had been denied permission. "This consulate is proactive in such matters and also runs a shelter to house distressed women, including victims or participants in human trafficking," he said.
Lissy Sojan has at least two cases of human trafficking against her in the State. Reports suggest she had visited Bangalore for a wedding late last year, even as the police were claiming that it was difficult for them to shut down the racket as it was operating overseas.

text: Home > Patient Blood Management Home > Patient Blood Management Patient Blood Management Page ContentPatient blood management (PBM) is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to optimizing the care of patients who might need transfusion. PBM encompasses all aspects of patient evaluation and clinical management surrounding the transfusion decision-making process, including the application of appropriate indications, as well as minimization of blood loss and optimization of patient red cell mass. PBM can reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions and reduce health-care costs, while ensuring that blood components are available for the patients who need them.As a leading organization in the education of health-care professionals about blood management and utilization review, AABB offers resources that address the various aspects of PBM, helping members achieve their goals of optimizing patient outcomes, preventing unnecessary blood usage and auditing physician compliance with established criteria for transfusion.

How to Do a Feasibility Study
A feasibility study may be necessary for a variety of projects, including many business studies for the expansion or continued operation of a company or small business, as well as other types of proposed projects like public works initiatives. Although every feasibility study is different, some basic steps apply to following through on a study to shore up a project. Here are some of the main parts necessary when officials or business managers want to do a feasibility study.
1Plan a study. Business leaders or others responsible for a feasibility study will need to plan out various aspects of the study, from identifying goals to considering alternatives for implementation.
- Address financial aspects as needed. In business feasibility study pursuits, leaders will want to craft a study that addresses competition, supply and demand, and other aspects of whether a corporate or business project will be ultimately feasible.
- Address physical issues as needed. In a feasibility study focused on a public works or municipal project, much of the focus may be on observable physical data, for example, on pedestrian or traffic flows. Here it will be necessary to plan how engineers or other staff will conduct a study to bring adequate final results to the table.
Ad -
2Hire staff as needed. Some feasibility studies rely on skilled engineers to collect and interpret some of the data that will build study credibility. Look for outside firms willing to consult for a specific study or project and make sure the individuals selected have the proper credentials.
- Look at engineering expertise by area. Feasibility studies can include a focus on issues like traffic routing, water and soil quality, storm water runoff or other technical issues. It's important for the engineers behind the study to be competent in the specific areas that the study will address. Otherwise, the study can meet resistance later in the game.
3Implement the study. When all of the numerous points of the study have been worked up on paper, the involved individuals must go out and do what has been planned.
- Work from a deliberate and specific time frame. The feasibility study should have a time frame for all of the activities needed to fully implement it, whether it's consumer surveys or market research for a business study, or monitoring of traffic or other elements for a municipal project study. Adhere to the time frame for a more orderly process.
4Write up results. Those involved should be able to collect the final results of their activities and compile them into a single report that will be considered the feasibility study result.
5Distribute the feasibility study. A study doesn't do a whole lot of good until it is in the hands of the right people. Get the study to all corporate heads or business leaders, or anyone else who can profit from using it to make critical decisions within a business, agency or department.Ad

NFL suspends Bills Bradham for 1 game
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 30 2014 1:55PM
For the second straight year, Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Nigel Bradham is his own worst enemy. On the verge of a starting position in both the 2013 and 2014 versions of training camp, Bradham will have to answer to head coach Doug Marrone once again.
On Wednesday afternoon, the National Football League suspended the linebacker for one game without pay for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Bradham will still be allowed to participate in both the practices and games throughout preseason. When the first week of the season arrives, Bradham will not be eligible for the active roster until Monday, September 8, the day after the Bills take on the Chicago Bears in their regular season opener.
In 2013, Bradham was stopped and ticketed for possession of marijuana following one of the team's preseason games. At that point in time, he was in a battle with Arthur Moats for the second starting inside linebacker job beside Kiko Alonso and a little after the news set in, Moats started taking the majority of first-team repetitions.
It was from that charge, however, that the league elected to suspend him for the first game of the season. Even though the charges were dismissed and Bradham appealed to the league, they ultimately decided the action was still worthy of a one-game ban.
This year, Bradham was in a strong position to replace the injured Alonso at weakside linebacker in the Bills' new 4-3 base defensive scheme. Both Marrone and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz have raved about his work through offseason workouts and into the first two weeks of training camp.
Bradham is a third-year linebacker out of Florida State University, whom the Bills selected in the fourth-round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
5 The bronze altar crafted by B'tzal'el the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had been placed before the tabernacle of ADONAI; and there Shlomo and the community consulted him. | 5 But the bronze altar that Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was in Gibeon in front of the tabernacle of the LORD; so Solomon and the assembly inquired of him there. |

So this weekend, DW decided to buy some Barkeepers because a friend told her it would help us keep the new Nantucket, 32" zero radius Stainless sink clean. Yeah, it's clean, but the finish is gone and the SS is super dull. Thank god she didn't decide to clean the marble counters! I'd have been seeing if GW'ers could recommend a homicide lawyer. She used it once. Agrees with me, and the bottle is now safely away. What can I use or do to bring back the shine of my beautiful, new, Nantucket sink??? |

Looking at the Nantucket site, they mention trying Flitz Fixture Wax. I use BKF on our crummy stainless sink. To get the shine back, "polish" it up with a couple tablespoons of all-purpose flour - push hard! - and follow with an olive oil buff. |

What Emergency?
"The National Weather Service has issued a severe storm warning for this area." These are words that can cause many of us to panic! We worry about being without electricity, food, and heat. Yet, even though we may have been through similar situations in the past, most of us do little, if anything, to prepare for such occurrences. We simply hope it doesn't happen again.
The fact is that emergencies happen! Some say that "life" happens! Storms come, jobs are lost, people get sick, unexpected events happen to all of us. Do you have a plan for how you are going to handle the next "storm" or are you simply crossing your fingers and hoping it doesn't happen?
You're Free
We often picture God's will for our lives like a thin, definitive line. A tightrope we must walk carefully and with the utmost caution. One wrong step and we'll surely fall. And when we do, we'll mess up our future forever.
But when we come to know Jesus, our life is not a tightrope but a wide, open space of grace. We have so much room to breathe, to grow, to learn. God knows we are human. He knows we will take detours, face obstacles, and make mistakes. If he were committed only to using those of us who never stray then no human would ever be part of his plan.
A seventeenth-century craftsman worked alone with primitive tools, but his focus everyday was to put the best he had into his work. This man made violins. He created his own personal standard of excellence and signed his name on each instrument that passed the test.
Many of you spent the month of May praying for a Foster Child or a sibling group in the Arkansas foster care system. This month we had a chance to talk with someone else who is investing in the lives of these same children. Ken Ferguson is the founder and president of New Beginning Children's Homes, a long term residential care facility for foster children in Northwest Arkansas. Ken explains that while the organization is structured like an orphanage, the environment is family and faith oriented.
Choice Points
According to recent statistics, I made 5,000 decisions today.
Some of our everyday choices are random, others weighty, but many of our decisions become choice points, leading us in one direction or another.
You're Part of a Plan
If we could have coffee today, I'd say, "You're part of a plan!"
When you look at the future, you wonder what's ahead. How will everything work out? Where are you going? What will tomorrow bring?
You can rest assured that there is One who already knows the answer to all of those questions. He's the God who created time and he's not limited by it. He knows everything in a way that's beyond our understanding.
The Importance of Planning
In the gospel of Luke, Jesus asks a question. "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?"
Planning is crucial to any endeavor. The old saying goes, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." This is true of our finances, our eating, how we use our time, every area of life.
You've likely already seen the images of destruction on the news from tornadoes that ripped through Mayflower and Vilonia here in Arkansas, as well as Quapaw in Oklahoma and Baxter Springs in Kansas. Yesterday, additional storms caused even more widespread damage in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and several other states. Much like you, our hearts here at KLRC are very heavy as we see the loss of lives, property, and possessions that are now being reported.
KLRC listeners have been quick to respond to tornado disasters in Joplin, Missouri as well as Moore, Oklahoma over the past few years. True to form, we have already had many in our community ask us how they might be able to contribute to the victims of this latest round of storms. We're so thankful for the generosity of the KLRC listening family!
Love Qualifies
Dr. Richard Dobbins has been in counseling for about 40 years. He made this statement: "In all my years at Emerge Ministries, I have never had someone with significant issues who had adequate verbal love expressed by their parents."
That is a huge, time-bomb statement made by an expert.
The Call
"Liesel observed her foster Father's eyes. They were made of kindness, and silver. Like soft silver, melting. Liesel, upon seeing those eyes, understood that her father was worth a lot."
A few months ago I read those words in a story by Markus Zusak, The Book Thief.
This week, I sit across from a foster mother named Ann, and I saw it for myself. I see it in her eyes too - the kindness and the shining when she talks about those kids.

TRADITION and respect were abundant on Friday as the Casterton community once again gathered to remember and honour our country's servicemen and women.
The Casterton RSL sub-branch marked the day with the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the war memorial involving the Glenelg Shire, the fire brigade, school children, scouts and ex-service personnel.
Each year Australians pause to reflect on the service of our armed forces; to remember their courage, service and sacrifice and we proudly acknowledge the history of the ANZAC spirit.
A highlight of the wreath-laying ceremony was four generations of the Buckle and Robinson families laying the wreaths.
Murray Robinson was joined by his son, Alan, grandson, Fabian and two great-grandchildren.
Reg Buckle had two uncles who served in WWI and were both killed in France.

How Anonymous Picks Targets, Launches Attacks, and Takes Powerful Organizations Down
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
Barr (under the handle of CogAnon, the same one he'd used to infiltrate Anonymous) came onto IRC to speak with the hive mind. Sabu confronted him:
You intended of battling anonymous in the media for media gain and attention
well let me ask you
you got the media attention now
how does it feel
Barr's beat-down left the hardcore hackers within Anonymous bolder than ever. A faction of them, including Sabu, broke off in May (a good month before Sabu was arrested) to form a splinter group called Lulz Security, or LulzSec. No one knows for sure how many they were—or exactly who they were—because they created a closed channel on IRC where they decided whom to hack and how. Sabu acted as a sort of dean; Topiary served as the spokesperson and brilliantly funny tweeter; Kayla and others found and exploited vulnerabilities.
Together they carried out a flamboyant 50-day hacking spree that hit scores of targets: private companies, government sites, everything. LulzSec hacked Sony six times, the US Senate website twice, and an FBI affiliate once, getting account data and releasing it onto the web. They hit Minecraft, Eve Online, and Nintendo. They released account data, logins, and passwords from a porn site and an Arizona law enforcement agency. They lit up the media in May and June as no hacker group ever had. True to its name, of course, LulzSec also had a taste for the absurd and anarchic. At one point, LulzSec claimed to have taken down Magnets .com after a customer service representative failed to tell them (per the popular Insane Clown Posse song) how magnets worked. But on the very same day, they were also allegedly behind an attack on the website of the CIA. LulzSec retained all the nihilistic fury of the /b/ raids of old but had married it to the nascent political sensibility forged in #optunisia.
On June 19, LulzSec called it quits, announcing that they were rejoining Anonymous to create AntiSec—a similarly closed group, but designed to be explicitly political, in support of the wider collective's increasingly activist mission. Over the remainder of 2011, AntiSec would go on to hack Monsanto and the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, police associations in Arizona and Texas, the governments of Australia and Zimbabwe, and many more. What most of AntiSec didn't know, though, was that in the waning days of LulzSec, the FBI had knocked on Sabu's door and taken control of his identity. Not only had the FBI joined Anonymous; it was the new dean of AntiSec.
Who are all these people, really? If you look at the list of those arrested on Sabu's watch, they fit the standard stereotype of a hacker—young, male, mostly white. If we're to believe the FBI, "Kayla" and "Topiary" were both young Britons, aged 23 and 19 respectively, and the rest of the arrests have roughly followed suit: They've nabbed mostly men whose ages range from the teens to the mid- to late 30s, collaborating with one another from cities around the Americas and Europe.
But it's a mistake to identify Anonymous entirely with these arrestees, some of whom were blackhats and others who were guilty of just using the LOIC. The hacks draw their power from the support of the wider collective, not the other way around. The majority of Anonymous operations are conceived and planned in a chaotic and open fashion. At any given time, a few thousand people are congregating on the Anonymous IRC channels, figuring out for themselves what it means to be an anon. And together they embody whatever Anonymous is going to be that day.
Most of the time, in most of the channels, there's little more than conversation; sometimes a whole channel will consist of lurkers, with no one contributing a thing. But when some offense to the net is detected, anons will converge on one or more of these "chans," with hundreds or thousands arriving within hours—many of them new to Anonymous and yet all primed and eager to respond. What looks in one moment like a sad, empty chat room can quickly become the staging ground for a major multipronged assault.
Consider OpBART, which flared up in August 2011 and dealt with an unlikely issue for Anonymous: the messy offline world of race relations and police violence. Ever since 2009, when a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer shot and killed an unarmed black man named Oscar Grant, protests against abuse of authority by transit police had grown. On August 11, anti-BART activists were planning a rally at several of San Francisco's underground transit stops to protest another shooting by a BART officer, this one of a homeless man named Charles Hill. It was an unremarkable story by the standards of the national media, but the response from BART to the planned protest did catch the interest of the local press: To thwart protesters from coordinating via mobile devices, BART cut cell service at its downtown stations.
When that news came out, Anonymous turned on BART with a frenzy. In the climate of the Arab Spring, the move reminded many anons of the deposed Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, who had shut off the Internet in order to suppress dissent. An IRC channel called #opbart was formed immediately, and it quickly grew to more than 400 people, suggesting and debating ways to retaliate against BART. On YouTube (a popular medium for Anonymous manifestos), announcements of various anti-BART ops began pouring onto Anonymous accounts; anti-BART anon handles appeared on Twitter. Subgroups formed to weigh the various options: hacking, D0xing, denial-of-service attacks, real-world protests. And over the next few weeks, nearly every tactic discussed would be attempted against BART. Over the month, anon hackers attacked the ill-defended BART and myBART websites and did data dumps; in a low moment, they posted stolen nude pictures of BART's spokesman, Linton Johnson, who had bragged that the cell phone shutdown was his idea. Street protests snarled traffic on and off for weeks.
OpBart was classic do-ocracy in action. No one had commanded anything, no action had been carried out alone. That's not to say that anyone in Anonymous knows what everyone else is doing: One group may be digitally bombarding a server that another group is trying to use or even hack. But that August, a riot of online and offline activity—some of it successful and some not, all of it flying the Anonymous flag—coalesced into what felt like a unified campaign. OpBart took off like a flock of birds, each participant adjusting their own actions in concert with the group through an ambient understanding of how the whole was moving.
After OpBart, it was natural that Anonymous would segue to support Occupy Wall Street—but here again, the surprise was how passionately it did so. Occupy was not an Anonymous plan, and anons were far from a majority of the movement. But Anonymous declared support for it very early, well before the September 17 start date, and thereby helped to bring far more media attention to the project than it would have gotten otherwise. Moreover, Anonymous' support helped to lend a sense of power that US protest movements in recent decades have lacked: namely, the implication that Occupy was capable of serious retaliation if authorities crossed a line.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
16 yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified. | 16 know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. |

The banners of New York's sports teams hang from the ceiling at Play Sports Bar, a space lined with flat-screen TVs tuned to sporting events all while more than 100 different beers flow from the bar. The diverse selection of bottles and drafts, many of them craft beers, complements a menu of traditional sports-bar fare such as burgers, wings, and pizza that can be molded into a football. On nights throughout the week, the bar is enlivened by events such as live music, beer tastings, and karaoke.
A union of Middle Eastern and Western cultures, Fire N Ice Hookah Bar combines the laid-back charm of a hookah lounge with the music and swank of a nightclub. Customers roam through the electric bi-level space flooded by soft colorful lighting before picking their poison—hookah, drinks, food, or all three.
In the hookah lounge, they curl up on plush sofas cushioned by satiny pillows and reach out every so often to grasp the hookah pipe as it's passed around, inhaling any one of 25 exotic hookah flavors. The smoke spirals up toward Middle Eastern tapestries hanging overhead or snakes around the top-shelf cocktails perched beside the pipe. It even intermingles briefly with the aromas wafting from Middle Eastern dishes—such as chicken tikka, korma sliders, and kebabs—before vanishing into the air as quickly as a magician at a science fair.
As the night lingers on, Fire N Ice begins its transformation into a full-blown nightclub. Belly dancers take to the stage first, twisting and shimmying across the spacious dance floor. By 11 p.m., the club's three DJs begin spinning top R & B and hip-hop hits intermixed with a few Arabian jams, signaling to guests that it's their turn to hit the floor.
Head chef Andrew DiCataldo helms Patria Restaurant and Mixology Lounge, crafting Latin fusion cuisine so artfully executed it moved the New York Times to advise readers: "Don't miss the place". DiCataldo's menu highlights classic ingredients such as avocado, plantains, and queso fresco, presenting them in contemporary updates of traditional Latin dishes. Patria and its afterhours lounge are divided in both atmosphere and décor, alternating between the restaurant's scarlet walls, rich wood furniture, and luxurious curtains, and the lounge's cool-toned lights, well-stocked bars, and wizards attempting to resurrect disco.
Though Fushimi Modern Japanese Cuisine & Lounge's menu and daily specials board boast French-inspired fusion food, its sushi is deeply rooted in tradition?and this combination has earned its dishes Zagat ratings and a Michelin recommendation. Chefs may reinterpret the presentation of Japanese staples?such as the tuna sashimi, which they set on broad leaves next to bean-sprout-entangled roe?but they still stay true to traditional flavors. By contrast, cooked fusion entrees tend to incorporate the unconventional, such as the tuna burger with spicy aioli, available on the weekend brunch menu, and the mushroom risotto made with black rice (a dish praised by New York Magazine in their critics' pick review.)
At all locations, the decor also melds old and new. At the bar at the Staten Island location, crimson light filters through a canopy of metallic foliage, casting a moody aura across Buddhist statuettes imported from Asia. The neon-lit Williamsburg location has a sleeker feel, its booths nestled in large circular openings that bring to mind subway tunnels or the oversized portholes of Paul Bunyan's mythical submarine. In Bay Ridge, the stateliness of traditional chandeliers contrasts with the bold colors of wall-sized photographs.
Illuminated by glowing blues and reds, indiglo Restaurant & Lounge presents visitors with a chic, upscale atmosphere in which to kick back for meals, drinks, and live performances. Inside, two levels thump with tunes from the venue's advanced sound system as bartenders whip up cocktails and specialty martinis. Visitors may start their nights off with dinner, such as char-grilled 12-ounce rib eyes and penne shrimp pasta, or with happy hour, which occurs Mondays–Thursdays.
The sizzling of Cajun batter-fried shrimp mingles with the sweet twang of acoustic guitars and smoky jazz vocals. This distinct bouquet of sounds and smells is the essence of The Crossroads, a venue that describes itself as an amalgamation of classic Cajun and American stylings: "[It's] as if NY and N'awlins had a baby and moved to the suburbs." Patrons can sate their appetites with a menu of soul and Cajun fare escorted by a choice of libations, including more than 40 martinis. Nightly musical guests have included local and national acts spanning the genres of jazz, bluegrass, and classic-rock cover bands. Nightly events and specials keep energy high. Every Tuesday, guests pay no cover charges and can climb onstage with their finely tuned instruments or an array of water-filled pint glasses for the open Jazz Jam with the house's trio of musicians.

NAGPUR: Finally, the long wait of passengers for a daily non-stop train between Nagpur and Mumbai is over. The Nagpur-Mumbai Duronto Express will be converted into a daily train by June-end.
The train was announced in 2009 railway budget but it used to operate thrice a week. Looking into its popularity and full occupancy, last year, the train's frequency was increased from triweekly to daily.
However, the train could not run daily as rake was not available. When the rake was made available, non-availability of a power car was a hurdle.
"Now all the hurdles have been removed as entire rake with a power car has arrived in Mumbai. We need some time as the coaches require vinyl-wrapping to give it a Duronto look. Besides, we also need to test the gear and make arrangements for linen. It will maximum take a month," said Brijesh Dixit, divisional railway manager (DRM) of Nagpur Central Railway.
In an informal chat with newsmen on Wednesday, Dixit said a daily Duronto would mean decrease in waiting list of passengers travelling to Mumbai in other premium trains like Vidarbha and Sevagram.
Duronto has a composition of 17 coaches including 2 AC-II tiers, 3 AC-III tiers, 10 sleeper class and 2 SLRs. Senior divisional commercial manager (SrDCM) Mukul Kumar, senior divisional mechanical engineer (SrDME) RK Dwivedi and senior divisional engineer (coordination) Sanjay Khare were present.
Dixit said Nagpur will soon be a 'Clean Train Station' under the scheme launched by the Indian Railways. The scheme would benefit five long distance trains viz. Nizamuddin-Bilaspur Gondwana Express, Howrah-LTT Shalimar Express, Howrah-Mumbai Mail, Ahmedabad-Puri and Jodhpur-Puri Express.
"We will standardize the cleaning of trains with the help of mechanized cleaning," Dixit stressed. Nagpur will be the second station in the division after Ballarshah to be clean train station, he added.
In another move to benefit passengers, the Central Railway has roped in 12 NGOs who have donated water coolers at a dozen stations. The stations include Nagpur, Multai, Pulgaon, Pandhurna, Baitul, Ghodadongri, Kalmeshwar and others. These coolers will be maintained by the railway.
When asked about escalators, Dixit said two escalators - one each at east and west side of the Nagpur station will be installed. Work to install one at the Itarsi end of the station is in process.
On the redevelopment of the station, Dixit informed that length of platform number 4, 5 and 7 will be increased to accommodate 24-coach trains. "However, the project cannot be taken up due to Ram Jhula ROB work," he said.
The mechanized laundry at Ajni is on the right track. "Tenders have been floated and work orders will be issued in July. It will take around 6 months to make the laundry operational," SrDME Dwivedi revealed.
To a query, Senior DCM Mukul Kumar said there are no plans to withdraw token system of booking tickets. "It was introduced to stop manipulations. Doing away with token system would mean inviting troubles," Kumar said.

Last week we told you about knitters around the US making scarves to donated to volunteers at the Superbowl festivities. In the UK, a similar initiative is asking knitters to create cushion covers to be given as gifts to participants in this year's Olympics and Paralympics being held in London.
Wow. Just wow. An Icelandic software developer and husband of a knitter tells us that he has developed a software application to help knitters design their own Lopi sweaters. It allows you to choose and place patterns and colors, to experiment and create your own unique designs. It does require Microsoft Silverlight to be installed [a cumbersome experience if you need the latest version…you have to uninstall it manually before installing. But worth it, we think.].
Speaking of Iceland, Clara Parkes has announced her upcoming Iceland Fiber Experience. This coming September 18-25, the tour promises "a hefty dose of fiber, unforgettable sheep chasing and wrestling, Clara's classes, world class chocolate tasting, all the Lopi from your wildest dreams and of course the usual; spectacular nature, delicious meals from the best local ingredients and excellent company of knitters from near and far".
A "warm-hearted bequest"… a Cleveland librarian and avid knitter, Diane Mathews, bequeathed her collection of knitting books to her library, and her stash of yarn to local knitters, with the condition that the yarn be used to make scarves and hats to donate to the homeless. Thanks to her generosity and thoughtfulness, the program "Warm Up Cleveland" has gathered hundreds of items to be donated to the homeless and shelters around the city. Other knitters have added yarn, since Diane's original stash has been used up.
Witty knitting alert: A knitter in the UK has been making wooly replicas of her colleagues, the gardening team at Paignton Zoo.

The expert staff at Tahitian Tan turns pallid forms into bronzed works of art with well-maintained UV and UV-free equipment.

Expressions Tanning stretches light's abilities even further with an array of services to beautify skin and beyond. Smart Tan certified technicians recommend different intensities of tanning beds that beam light at six different levels, which gradually build golden tans over multiple visits.

As a distributor of top-flight tanning accouterments, the team gets such up-and-coming technologies as the Beauty Angel system, in which a therapeutic red light bolsters collagen production while a vibrating platform stimulates circulation.

The Rings of Saturn"Ostensibly a record of a journey on foot through coastal East Anglia," as Robert McCrum in the London Observer noted, The Rings of Saturn "is also a brilliantly allusive study of England's imperial past and the nature of decline and fall, of loss and decay. . . . The Rings of Saturn is exhilaratingly, you might say hypnotically, readable. . . . It is hard to imagine a stranger or more compelling work." The Rings of Saturn - with its curious archive of photographs - chronicles a tour across epochs as well as countryside. On his way, the narrator meets lonely eccentrics inhabiting tumble-down mansions and links them to Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson," the natural history of the herring, a matchstick model of the Temple of Jerusalem, the travels of Sir Thomas Browne's skull, and the massive bombings of WWII. Cataloging change, oblivion, and memories, he connects sugar fortunes, Joseph Conrad, and the horrors of colonizing the Belgian Congo. The narrator finds threads which run from an abandoned bridge over the River Blyth to the terrible dowager Empress Tzu Hsi and the silk industry in Norwich. "Sebald," as The New Yorker stated, "weaves his tale together with a complexity and historical sweep that easily encompasses both truth and fiction." The Emigrants (hailed by Susan Sontag as an "astonishing masterpiece-perfect while being unlike any book one has ever read") was "one of the great books of the last few years," as Michael Ondaatje noted: "and now The Rings of Saturn is a similar and as strange a triumph." |

silvia, how many avocados on a tree that size? (i'm looking to add one more tree, maybe two, to my garden...) |
Hi Michael I did not count the avocados yet. But, just from looks alone, is a good amount. Judging from the taste, is a sure winner, best I tried so far in Florida. Better than Haas, in my opinion. If you want to add another tree. Do you like Sugar Apple? I have one that is also fruiting and did well with the freeze, not covered. Avocado was not covered either. Silvia |
- Posted by billbrandi 9 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 11, 09 at 15:30
Nice looking fruit. My Brogdon has been in the ground for five years now. There are about 35-40 avocados on it; I'll be sure to check them ripening. Mine did not ripen until August last year. |
- Posted by an_ill-mannered_ache 9a (My Page) on Sat, Jul 11, 09 at 15:37
cool. i think i'll get a brogdon, then. i've heard they're tasty. there's a west-indies lady at the market who always has nice ones for sale. i've never tried a sugar apple... what's it like? |
Billbrandi Thanks. Nice to have a lot of avocados that are tasty. Michael Silvia |
- Posted by happy_fl_gardener 9a (My Page) on Sat, Jul 11, 09 at 21:22
Silvia---Your brogdon avocado tree looks so attractive as well as productive. My brogdon is in part sun so it isn't growing as fast as yours. I got mine from the lady at the DeLand Farmers Market, the one Michael just mentioned. You are located in a much warmer area than Michael and I are. I have a young atemoya growing in a pot. Michael, if I ever get any fruit I will give you one to try. |
Christine Thank you. If it is colder there you might have better luck with the chirimoya, it grows in colder places. It is like tomatoes from the supermarket,the taste is just not there when you buy it in the store. I saw it in Whole Foods for $8, and I am sure it would not taste it like tree ripened. Silvia |

Silvia, I'm envious! That will be perfect for guacamole. How do you keep the squirrels from stealing all your avocados? I've got a huge, ancient avocado tree that each year starts out with thousands of little avocados in the spring. But the squirrels love to feast on them while they're still tiny. This year, for the 2nd year in a row, there are no avocados left. I know it is the squirrels getting them because I've seen them up in that tree, picking little avocados, taking a single bite out of them, then dropping them to the ground. John |
John Get a dog. That is my advice. And I tell you a little story. My neighbors went on vacation and they took the dogs with them. I was taking care of their plants, and oh no, the squirrels moved in! Now that they are back, no squirrels. Silvia |
- Posted by countrynest z9 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 12, 09 at 16:06
Silvia,you always amaze me. Those avocados look terrific. The information about the chirimoya has inspire me. My mother brought back, from south Florida, several seeds of all kind of fruit trees. I told her that it gets too cold,up here,for them. I think I'll plant the seeds in pots and let them grow. When they are too big for my greenhouse,I'll plant them in the ground and protect them when it gets cold. It will be an experiment. The plant that you gave me at Melissa's swap,mora something, is growing nicely. How old do they have to be for fruiting. Felix |
Thank you Felix, the chirimoya is one of the tastiest fruits. You have a good chance with the seeds having the greenhouse. I do have a lot of plants from warmer places, when it gets cold I moved them to the porch. My father used to make a dessert for me made of "babaco", mountain papaya. Maybe I will try to grow that one too in the future. And about the mora, I really don't know, because we always had it wild in the house. It is in the same family of blackberries, so I would think it fruits in a year or two. We will see, I have other plants as an experiment too. I will let you know. Silvia |
