By Billy Planer I have learned much from my teachers, more from my colleagues, and the most from Bruce Springsteen me with a nod to Rabbi Chanina. I attended my first Bruce Springsteen concert in the early 1980's and have easily been to over 100 since. Each show is a time of rejuvenation, rededication, recommitment to, and learning about, my craft, profession and calling - Jewish experiential education. Here are some of the main tenets about being a Jewish educator that I have learned by attending a Bruce Springsteen concert: You make up your mind; you choose the chance you take You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks Out on to an open road you ride until the day You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay The Price You Pay The beginning of a Springsteen concert … [Read more...]
Some Needed R & R: The Power of Relationships and Reflection in Cultivating Experiential Jewish Educators
By Mark S. Young and Dr. Jeff Kress There is a unique intersection between experiential Jewish education (EJE) and developing the human resources of our Jewish educational workforce. For the last five years, this intersection has been at the heart of our work. In our development of both EJE pre-service graduate programs and in-service programs for full-time professionals we have assiduously followed this guiding understanding: The core elements of EJE are relevant across contexts, settings, and media. This includes the professional development, itself. In acting on this premise, we have come to appreciate the power of some needed R & R (relationships and reflection) in the training of experiential Jewish educators. Our two signature programs of the Experiential Learning Initiative at The … [Read more...]
George Washington University Launches Experiential Education and Jewish Cultural Arts MA Program
Jewish cultural education has taken a bold new turn with the launch of the Experiential Education & Jewish Cultural Arts (EE/JCA) Master's program at George Washington University in Washington, DC. The only program of its kind, EE/JCA's intensive one-year curriculum exposes learners to the richness and complexity of Jewish cultural expression - its sounds, gestures, big ideas, and creative personalities - while providing a foundation in the theory and practice of experiential education. GW's strong relationships with DC cultural institutions connect students with meaningful internships, allowing them to bring together their coursework and experiences in the field. The inaugural cohort is interning at local Jewish organizations including the DCJCC, the Jewish Food Experience, Hillel … [Read more...]
Nature is One of the 70 Languages of Torah
By Dr Gabe Goldman "What's Jewish about a Moose?" is the title of a program I offer that teaches about Jewish values, practices and beliefs through direct nature experiences. Recently I presented the "Moose Program" on Shabbat afternoon at a Conservative congregation in New Jersey. The 55 people who attended ranged in age from 2 to 90 years-old and were not typical "outdoor" types. In fact, as several admitted, their concept of "camping" would have to include a Holiday Inn! Nevertheless, over the course of the hour-long program, these confirmed suburbanites enthusiastically handled a variety of animal skins, bones, plants and tree barks as they learned about nature's role in Judaism. They examined deer hides in various stages of being transformed into Torah parchment. They held an oak gall (a … [Read more...]
Using Group Norms in a School Setting
[This is the final piece in a series of articles written by participants and alumni of the YU Certificate Program in Experiential Jewish Education (EJE), highlighting EJE related ideas and practices.] By Sarah Gordon When working with groups of student leaders, educators often jump right into event planning or skills training, hesitating to first set aside valuable time to focus on community-building and group dynamics. This year, I decided to dedicate time to discussing "group norms" with the student leaders at Ma'ayanot and to implement group expectation discussions modeled on those that I experienced with my cohort of the Yeshiva University Certificate Program in Experiential Jewish Education. When students have the opportunity to share expectations of how their group should work … [Read more...]
The Conflict Within: A New Look at Experiential Jewish Education
By Aron Wolgel [This is the sixth in a series of articles written by participants and alumni of the YU Certificate Program in Experiential Jewish Education (EJE), highlighting EJE related ideas and practices.] When Jewish experiences are constructed to be memorable and formative, the level of connection is heightened to produce Jewish identity. The focus on creating Jewish identity highlights the key point that Experiential Jewish Education (EJE) is different from educating through Jewish experiences. Growing up, my Jewish education was full of many enjoyable and memorable Jewish experiences, through a strong foundation in Jewish day school and many summers in Jewish sleep-away camp. Yet, my Jewish identity really began solidifying itself when my family moved to a city where there was no … [Read more...]
Costumes and Usernames: Simulations, Real and Virtual, in Experiential Jewish Education
By Yael Steiner [This is the fifth in a series of articles written by participants and alumni of the YU Certificate Program in Experiential Jewish Education (EJE), highlighting EJE related ideas and practices.] Thinking back to my summers as a camper, my most vivid memories involve costumes. Counselors and units heads were constantly dressing up, turning ordinary activities like lunch into dramatic events of great historical significance. During an afternoon trip to Lake Chautauqua, our counselors transformed into British soldiers, patrolling the lake on motorboats and preventing us, the Ma'apilim (illegal immigrants) from entering Palestine. Each summer felt like a time warp to an era in Jewish history, brought to life through the creative and dramatic efforts of the staff. As a … [Read more...]
What Overachieving Young People Really Need to Hear
By Lily Lozovsky [This is the fourth in a series of articles written by participants and alumni of the YU Certificate Program in Experiential Jewish Education (EJE), highlighting EJE related ideas and practices.] For the last ten years, I have been on call for the existential crises and big questions facing overachieving young people. When we first met, they were teens on Jewish leadership programs I was running. We discussed great leaders, talked about values, social change, and the importance of taking action. Empowered and inspired, the teens returned home, excited to make a difference. These days, my conversations with alumni are quite different. I find myself sitting with students who are stressed out and frustrated. They are doing everything "right" yet find themselves craving meaning … [Read more...]

A neat plugin that offers many of the capabilities you'd find in paid-for solutions. If you don't need state-of-the-art capabilities, I'd definitely recommend trying this plugin.
I used the plugin for a week or so, then switched to the paid "PRO" version, which supports attachments in outgoing emails - an important feature for me.
Importation of my data from Aweber into the free version worked smoothly and switching to the PRO version was seamless.
It satisfies all my requirements for an autoresponder (which admittedly are humble) and enabled me to dump Aweber.
While even the PRO version doesn't offer all the sophistication of Aweber, I got got tired of paying Aweber every month, and am finding I can do pretty much all I want with this option.

Prosecution: Woman screamed, then Pistorius fired
PRETORIA, South Africa — A woman screamed and then there was silence, according to South African prosecutors pressing a premeditated murder case against Oscar Pistorius. Next, the indictment says, witnesses heard gunshots and more screaming at the home of the Paralympic champion, who says he shot his girlfriend by mistake on Valentine's Day.

I'm looking for a good editor to work with me on an ongoing basis.
As a trial of your work I've recorded a 7 minute sales video (with myself to camera) and would like you to edit it, add background music, power point slides and anything else you think would create a high impact for the viewer.
To give you an idea of the video, it is very similar to the video on the link before but is currently raw footage.
The video is also for a 4 day sale but on a slightly different product.
Here's an example -

I do need this completed by this week so it is a must that you can meet this deadline.
If you can also provide other video's that you have edited that would be great!

This blonde teeny is not really into learning foreign languages, but her Spanish teacher is such a stud who can teach her something she's really willing to learn.

She's gonna take her first fuck test right on the floor and a messy facial cumshot as a special reward for being a diligent student.

She reminds me of Liv Tyler
I think I've found my new Most Favorite Porn Babe... She is PERFECT!
Girl: She is as close to perfect as they come. Could lose the tongue ring, however. It does nothing to add to her gorgeous body. Guy: Kind of a dork. How did he land his part in this movie? Must be the Director's son. Still. . .one very lucky S.O.B. to be with her.
She would easily win every Liv Tyler lookalike contest:) God, i am horny now..gotta find this ARMAGENDON DVD:))

CurrysPCWorld TV Size Finder
DSG Retail Ltd.
- 7 August 2014
( 98)
We believe buying a new telly should be exciting and fun, so we've created the free Currys PC World TV Size Finder app to help you answer that first and all-important question about which screen size is right for you.
The designs and sizes of televisions have changed dramatically in recent years. Thanks to new technologies, a modern 46" narrow frame OLED TV is approximately the same size as a 40" LCD TV from 2008. So you may find that a larger screen could fit into the same space as your existing TV without taking up extra room!
At Currys PCWorld we want you to be happy with your purchase so we're committed to giving you all the tools to make the right decision with minimum fuss.
Download the Currys PCWorld TV Size Finder app here and begin your journey to finding the perfect TV.
Rubbish Had this installed last year and loved it. Looking at getting a bigger tv so reinstalled, but only get as far as the 'loading' screen. Guess I'll go elsewhere this time!
Does Not Load REPLY TO COMMENT. This is an ongoing issue that is clearly viable from other comments I would have thought that you would fix not just suggest to open on another device! I have a brand new galaxy s6 if it won't work on this then what will it work on?!?! Lazy developers! That's the issue!
Doesn't work Doesn't load on numerous devices

Really helps. Useful as picking the right size was a difficult.
pointless in store I was told they no longer give paper templates to choose what size TV but that they have an app to help decide I was told you take a photograph of your wall and it superimposes the televisions well I downloaded it and tried it this morning there's no facility to take a photograph of the wall you have to stand 5 ft away and imagine the size of TV on the phone to be on the wall which is absolutely ridiculous if I could score this minus 5 I would, Currys sort yourself out!

GM has announced pricing for the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, and it's safe to say that direct-competitor the Toyota Tacoma can expect to face some challenging terrain in the midsize pickup landscape. The 4x2 extended-cab Colorado starts at $20,995, including destination charge, and comes equipped with a 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the nearly identically equipped Canyon starts at about $1,000 more.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (October 7, 2015) -- Twenty-two drivers have three days to compete for a spot in the motorsport industry's top driver development program, the NASCAR Drive for Diversity (D4D), set to commence at Langley Speedway in Hampton, Va., Oct. 19-21, 2015. Now in its 12th year, the annual Combine invites promising ethnically diverse and female drivers, ages 14 to 26, from across North America to test their skills over a three- day period in order to identify members of the NASCAR D4D Class of 2016. "Finding and developing diverse athletes who will represent the future of NASCAR is at the core of our organization's mission," said NASCAR Senior Vice President of Racing Operations Jim Cassidy. "Every year, the bar is raised with talented applicants who have the potential and determination to succeed. We're proud to watch our graduates in the national series and develop more diverse talent to join them in the years to come." In partnership with Rev Racing, the Max Siegel-owned race team, D4D offers racing opportunities in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (NKPSE) and NASCAR Whelen All-American Series (NWAAS) for one full season, providing drivers with equipment, mentoring, and competition experience. "We could not be more excited about this year's NASCAR Drive for Diversity Combine to select the 2016 Class of Rev Racing drivers," said team CEO Max Siegel. "Coming off of our sixth consecutive multiple race winning season, we are focused on continuing to make our program and approach world class, as we prepare these young drivers to advance into the national series." The NASCAR D4D Combine has proven successful in identifying and developing future stars of the sport. Current D4D member Collin Cabre secured Rev Racing's second win of 2015 with a victory at the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season finale at Dover International Speedway . In addition, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Larson and NASCAR XFINITY Series drivers Darrell Wallace Jr . and Daniel Suárez, leaders in the series' Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings, are among the graduates of the program. This year's athletes include 13 women, notably the youngest combine participant ever at 14 years old, Macy Causey. Also participating are four stars from the NASCAR Mexico Series: Abraham Calderón, Enrique Contreras, Rubén García Jr. and Santiago Tovar. Returning to defend their spots in the program are current NASCAR Whelen All-American Series drivers Dylan Smith and Natalie Decker. Driver combine participants will be evaluated on their driving skills and will also be tested on a series of strength and agility exercises at Hampton University. Fans can follow the Combine on Twitter at @NASCARDiversity and @RevRacing. Below are invitees to the 12th annual NASCAR Drive for Diversity Combine: First Name Last Name Age City State/Country Hannah Adair 21 Tulsa Okla. Jairo Avila 20 Alhambra Calif. Kayli Barker 18 Las Vegas Nev. Nicole Behar 17 Otis Orchards Wash. Abraham Calderon 26 Monterrey Mexico Macy Causey 14 Yorktown Va.

Erika Newcome 20 Pickerington Ohio Hannah Newhouse 18 Twin Falls Idaho Vanessa Robinson 25 Las Cruces N.M. Dylan Smith 23 Concord N.C. Walter Thomas 16 Indianapolis Ind. Santiago Tovar 22 Mexico City Mexico In addition to drivers, NASCAR Drive for Diversity has successfully identified and developed pit crew members to find employment opportunities within the sport. The NASCAR Drive for Diversity Pit Crew Challenge Tour will host its final Combine of the year at the NASCAR Research and Development Center on October 9, 2015 in Concord, North Carolina.
NASCAR officials will return to Michigan International Speedway on Tuesday, Oct. 20 to test a low downforce package similar to what was used in competition last month at Darlington Raceway . Drivers scheduled to take part in the test are defending NASCAR XFINITY Series champion Chase Elliott in the Hendrick Motorsports No. 25 Chevrolet, current XFINITY Series points leader Chris Buescher ( Roush Fenway Racing No. 17 Ford) and Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup contender Denny Hamlin ( Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 Toyota). According to information provided to the teams on Wednesday, the test is to verify max and corner speeds with three different grip levels of tires. The schedule calls for individual 10- and 25-lap runs in the morning and afternoon sessions. The lower downforce package debuted at Kentucky Speedway this season before also being put into play at Darlington, where it featured a 3.5-inch spoiler, 25-inch splitter extension panel (radiator pan) and 6.63-inch by 25-inch splitter. The only change for the MIS test will be an increase in the splitter extension panel to 33 inches. Drivers and teams were pleased with the initial results of the package, particularly at Darlington where Goodyear was able to provide a specific tire based on data gained from testing there prior to the race. The MIS test will take place approximately two months after the Sprint Cup Series competed at the 2-mile facility with a high-drag aerodynamic configuration. A high-drag package was also used at Indianapolis Motor Speedway . JGR driver Matt Kenseth called the high-drag package "terrible." "You just can't pass," he said after finishing seventh in the Jeff Kyle 400 at the Brickyard. "Yeah, you can run up on the straightaway a little bit, but you can't run though the corner with anything." A month later, after his driver dominated at Michigan with the same rules package, Kenseth's crew chief Jason Ratcliff said "at the end of the straightaway (cars could) gain on others two or three car-lengths. But they just couldn't do much once they got there and they got down in the corner, they were kind of helpless." The high-drag rules included a 9-inch spoiler with a 1-inch wicker bill, a rear fascia extension panel (similar to those used for superspeedway events at Daytona and Talladega), a 2-inch leading edge on the splitter and a 43-inch splitter extension panel. "We know that high drag package is awful," four-time premier series champion Jeff Gordon said following the Darlington race. "We know that this (lower downforce) is definitely in the right direction. … I think when you look at the less horsepower we had coming in this year it's the package that should have been with this car that we have now. You can't take that kind of power away and not do something significant to the downforce as well." Homestead Test Slated for December NASCAR and Goodyear officials have added a post-season test scheduled for Dec. 14-15 at Homestead-Miami Speedway to continue preparations for the 2016 rules package. Organizations scheduled to participate in the test are Stewart-Haas Racing (Chevrolet), Hendrick Motorsports (Chevrolet), Richard Petty Motorsports (Ford) and Furniture Row Racing (Toyota). It is expected to be the first on-track testing for Furniture Row and driver Martin Truex Jr . with a Toyota entry. The Denver-based team is making the switch from Chevrolet to Toyota for '16. Because of the change, SHR was added to the test to replace Furniture Row for Chevrolet. "I think '16, we're not really even thinking about right now," Truex said earlier this week. "We know what we're doing next year, we'll worry about that after (the final race at) Homestead. "I think everybody in the Chase is probably in the same position -- you're worried about today and tomorrow and this coming weekend. No further ahead. Once you set your plans, it's real easy." Lineup Change for Atlanta Test The Toyota teams of Michael Waltrip Racing and BK Racing have declined to take part in the Goodyear tire test slated for Oct. 27-28 at Atlanta Motor Speedway . Joe Gibbs Racing has been added to the lineup to represent Toyota teams at the 1.54-mile track. MWR will not field a full-time Sprint Cup Series team next season. The two- day program is a confirmation test for Goodyear; an open team test is scheduled for Oct. 29 following the completion of the tire test. CMS Tire Info Sprint Cup and XFINITY Series teams will be running the same tire codes this weekend at Charlotte, according to Goodyear officials, and is unchanged from what was provided for the 1.5 mile track's May races. The left-side tire code has been used at CMS since 2012; the right side, which features a multi-zone tread, was used there for the first time in May.
Ray Alfalla ( Slip Angle Motorsports ) punctuated yet another stellar season in the NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series Powered by iRacing by earning his fourth victory of the 2015 season at Homestead-Miami Speedway . Alfalla, who started a lap down because of technical trouble, sliced through the field in the early going and drove every bit like a driver with nothing to lose. Last Row Motorsports ' Jake Stergios finished second, followed by brother PJ. The Stergios brothers had the cars to beat on the short run, but could not match Alfalla's speed as the laps added-up on their virtual Goodyears. Bryan Blackford was fourth, just edging Chris Overland and mirroring their places in the final standings. Alfalla and Jake Stergios dominated for most of the evening, leading a combined 146 of 167 laps. Stergios was one of the first sim racers to experiment with the high line in Turns One and Two and the change in line brought his car to life. Polesitter Cody Byus ( The TEAM ) had no answer and was passed by Stergios just nine laps in. As halfway approached, Jake still led but PJ had cut the margin and began to plan his move. On Lap 83 PJ drove to the bottom in Turn Three and cleared his brother off of Turn 4. A lap later, a caution stopped the battle and sent the leaders to the pits for tires and fuel. PJ won the race off pit road but his time at the front was short-lived as Jake used the outside lane in Turns Three and Four to regain the lead. However, Alfalla was now within striking distance and began picking his way through the top five. On Lap 112, Alfalla took the lead for the first time and started to pull away, but a caution for Brad Davies ( Drill Aisle ) erased Alfalla's lead and brought the leaders to pit road for the final time. Alfalla won the race off pit road and looked set to drive away to victory, but Jake was strong and stayed right in Alfalla's tire tracks. Stergios gave it a valiant effort, even getting alongside Alfalla at one point, but did not have the speed on the bottom to clear the race leader. He finally burned off his tires and had to settle for second, just over one second behind at the checkers. Kenny Humpe, the 2015 series champion, did not have the result he was hoping for. Although he qualified fourth, Humpe lacked speed in race trim to compete for the win. Still, a strong finish looked possible until his chance to record a twelfth top five of the season ended when he got loose off Turn Two on Lap 44 and pounded the inside wall. Humpe wound up forty-second, dead-last. As Alfalla and Jake Stergios battled for the lead over the last 40 laps, PJ Stergios, Blackford, and Overland were locked in an intense battle for third on track, and third through fifth in the championship. PJ came away with third on both counts, a rather comfortable 19 points ahead of fourth place Blackford. Overland and Blackford fought side- by -side multiple times during the last fuel run, each needing to finish in front of the other to claim the $1,000 fourth place prize. Blackford's long run speed was too much for Overland, who settled for fifth in the championship, a single point behind Blackford, and collected $500 for his efforts. Further back in the standings, Nathan Wise was the last driver to secure his 2016 NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series license by finishing twentieth in the standings. He beat Michael J Johnson ( Gale Force Racing ) by seven points despite limping a damaged car home to a thirty-seventh place finish at Homestead. As the sixth NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series comes to a close, the story of the year has to be Humpe's complete dominance through the first three quarters of the season. Though he faded a bit at the end, Humpe's consistency was nothing like this series has ever seen. As he looks to become just the second repeat champion, Alfalla -- already a two timer himself -- looks to be his biggest competition. Nobody was stronger the last few races than Alfalla and he will carry that momentum into the off-season and, he hopes, to the start of 2016. The NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series is off until February, giving drivers and teams some much-needed time off. What does next season have in store? With the NASCAR iRacing Pro Series bringing-in new talent, drivers undoubtedly changing teams, and iRacing build changes, it is always possible that different and unexpected drivers will challenge for wins. However, Humpe and Alfalla will be on their games, and likely ready for any new challengers.
NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France said Thursday that meetings about a potential franchise system for participation in its upper series have already taken place, sparking ongoing talks with its team owners about the direction of stock car racing competition. France made the remarks during an afternoon appearance on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio's "Tradin' Paint" program, telling hosts Jim Noble and Chocolate Myers that improving the current framework was crucial to the overall health of the sport. "Any time we can improve the structure for our team owners, that's a good thing," France told SiriusXM. "If we can improve their business model, we can improve their overall structure, then what's going to happen is new owners will be more inclined to look at wanting to participate in NASCAR ; that's a good thing. The other good thing is, the level of competition goes up because the more healthy the team owners are, the better we're going to be. "We're working alongside of all the team owners to see what's possible, and we're going to have to go down the road and keep working at it. That's very important to us." France also discussed the soon-to-be-released schedules for all three NASCAR national series, saying that teams and fans alike should not expect a dramatic overhaul to the 2016 racing calendar. "I can tell you that the schedule is not going to change materially at all," France said. "There are things in the sanction agreements with the tracks that are unrelated to the dates that have to be worked out, and that's really what we're doing now. That's taking a little longer than normal. The schedule will look very similar." With tongue firmly planted in cheek, Myers pressed France for an accelerated release of the 2016 schedules on behalf of Dale Earnhardt Jr ., who has expressed his wishes for a prompt announcement so that he might better plan his wedding to Amy Reimann. "I understand," said France, biting on the joke. "That does take precedence, so we'll make sure to put those dates right in front of him so he knows when they are." France also took time to assess the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup after the Challenger Round, the opening three-round series of the postseason. In doing so, France lauded last weekend's clutch victory by Kevin Harvick at Dover International Speedway that kept his repeat title hopes intact. "What you really are seeing is, this is the era of big moments and big performances," France said. "Being consistent and steady, that's important but that's getting pushed to the wayside. It's whoever can step up their performance."

The track's parent company, International Speedway Corporation, announced Tuesday that Sunoco will become the speedway's fourth "founding partner" as part of the massive redevelopment project. The $400 million renovation or "re-imagining" of the iconic facility will now include a massive Sunoco presence, giving the longtime NASCAR partner naming rights to one of the five "injector" entry areas at the new-look facility set to debut its makeover in January 2016. "The thing I keep thinking about is, here with Sunoco is a partner who has been in the sport for a number of years, has a lot of good things going on and now wants to expand their footprint,'' Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III said. "It shows me this is working. There's success there. For them to want to grow the relationship and invest even more in the sport, that's a real positive for the industry." Added ISC Chief Executive Officer Lesa France Kennedy, "A brand synonymous with motorsports for many years, Sunoco will continue to be a great asset across the ISC enterprise, adding to the overall fan experience.'' Indeed fans will see plenty of Sunoco branding at the track. In addition to the entry naming rights, the company will have branding rights for one of the newly created 11 fan "neighborhoods" -- a football field-sized area along the frontstretch with dining and souvenir areas outfitted with dozens of video screens so fans don't miss a minute of the race action on track. "This represents the next chapter of our long-term partnership with ISC,'' Sunoco Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Cynthia Archer said in announcing the Daytona Rising relationship. "ISC is taking the motorsports experience to new heights by creating a visually compelling facility. Fans will be amazed when they see the new motorsports stadium and Sunoco's engaging injector experience for the first time in 2016.'' Sunoco has served as the Official Fuel of NASCAR since 2004 and is the exclusive supplier of Sunoco Green E15 racing fuel for all three of NASCAR's national series. Sunoco joins Toyota, Florida Hospital and General Motors as founding partners on the Daytona Rising project. "Across the board, we're seeing people already in sport wanting to own a piece of Daytona or someone new that that says, 'Hey, I want to be a part of Daytona, there's a lot of exciting things happening,' " Chitwood said. "I like the mix right now and really think it sends a positive message for everything we're doing with the Daytona Rising project."
RELATED: No. 78 team penalized for infractions at Dover · The No. 78 team has been penalized for an infraction that occurred during pre-race inspection on Oct. 4. This is a P2 level penalty (Sections 12.1; 20.4b; 20.4.2a; 188.8.131.52.2). Crew chief Cole Pearn has been placed on NASCAR probation through Dec. 31, 2015.
Cutting-edge technology and a spirit for change intersected on Wednesday at Pikes Peak International Raceway as NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Martin Truex Jr . gave rides in an adaptive stock car to paraplegic and quadriplegic individuals. Volunteers from Furniture Row Racing helped transform a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car (in this case the No. 78 Chevrolet SS) into an adaptive vehicle for people to drive if they have spinal cord injuries and disabilities. It was all part of the Falci Adaptive Motorsports NeuroGroove RaceDay at the 1-mile track in Fountain, Colorado. "What an awesome day to be a firsthand witness to some incredible technology," Truex said in a team release. "Life is about giving back and Dr. (Scott) Falci and his partners are doing just that. To see the joy of the individuals I gave a ride to was very inspirational." Denver resident Stewart Lundy, a paraplegic, was one of the riders who got a chance to whiz around the track with Truex in the adaptive car. "And he (Truex) gets paid to do this!" Lundy said. "I need to reassess my life goals. That is probably one of them now. I loved every minute of it -- I'm coming down from an Adrenaline high." Falci Adaptive Motorsports is working to add racing as another adapted sport for the spinal cord and disabled population. Dr. Scott Falci is a neurosurgeon at Denver's Craig Hospital and he and his partners are spearheading the effort. One of the highlights of the day was a demonstration of smart glasses technology that enables individuals to drive a car or wheelchair with head movement. "Dr. Falci and his partners are developing life-changing technology, and we are thrilled to be involved in this altruistic endeavor," said Joe Garone, president and general manager of Furniture Row Racing .

Woman, why are you weeping,
Bent in scalding tears?
What has wrenched your heart to breaking,
No smile to hide your fears?
"Look here! Can you but see?
They've shaved away my mountain –
The trees, the moss, the laurel –
The scent of morning dew!"
"Naught but crags and crevices,
Jagged holes and caves
With muddy sludge for rivers,
Can you not weep for shame?"
I am but sorry witness –
I have not done these things;
Yet in my deepest heart I know
That somehow I'm to blame.
The coal, the oil that fuel my day –
The wealth of Mother Earth —
Are wrenched from her without a care:
Her virgin soil is raped!
And yet I cannot help but see,
Despite these ugly scars,
Amidst the very ravaged wounds,
A rainbow new to me.
For what was once a forest green,
Had hidden from my eyes
The color-rich terrain beneath:
Rock bathed in subtle dyes!
The violence we wreak on earth
Is ours to suffer from;
But God, in all His loveliness,
Cannot be overcome!
Sr. Adelaide Thomason, O.S.U.
November 30, 1921 – August 21, 2015
Sister Adelaide Thomason died peacefully at Andrus on Hudson on August 21. She was 93 years old. Adelaide was born on November 30, 1921. She is survived by a sister, Dolores Melitio of Dallas, and five nieces and nephews.
She entered the Ursulines in 1939, after graduating from the Ursuline Academy in Dallas, Texas. Her final profession was on January 16, 1945. She earned a B.A. in English from the College of New Rochelle in 1945. She received her Masters Degree in Philosophy from the Catholic University of America in 1954, and her Doctorate in Philosophy from Fordham University in 1969.
Adelaide's lifelong ministry was education. From 1945 – 1959 she taught at the Ursuline Academy in Dallas. From 1960 – 1963 she served as Assistant Superior at the Ursuline House of Studies in New Rochelle. From 1960 – 2006 she taught in the Philosophy Department at the College of New Rochelle, where she was a gifted teacher. Much of her effectiveness came from her diligence in remaining up to date in the discipline, alert to contemporary philosophers and developments in the field. In 1980 and from 2004 – 2007 she was an NGO at the United Nations representing the International Federation of Catholic Universities.
At Sister Adelaide's request, she will be cremated and there will be no wake. A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, August 25th, at the Ursuline Province Center Chapel, 1338 North Avenue, New Rochelle, NY. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers gifts may be sent to the Ursuline Retirement Fund at the Ursuline Province Center.]]>
The Pentecost psalmist sings a masterful hymn to the Spirit of God, Creator of the Cosmos, taking hardly a breath, in the telling of the God-colors into the world, into humanity, into my own heart.
Meanwhile, back in the Upper room in the Cenacle, the apostles are hiding behind closed doors, confused by the Easter events, when a spiritual tsumani breaks upon them.
We have our own closed doors, don't we, hiding our baptismal graces of faith, and charity? Am I tithing the time and energy entrusted to me as co-creator of the Spirit – feeding the hungry, helping feet that have gone astray into drugs?
Society has its own closed-up places that do not breathe Life – racism, trafficking. What am I doing on earth, for God's sake? Or am I on auto-pilot?
What would it mean if I let the Spirit into my own heart, whether it be sparsely furnished or cluttered. God does not look over my thoughts and deeds as if they were odd items at a yard sale.
We are not here forever, but are travelers on our own path to eternal life, be it a quick sprint or a long-enough journey. My vehicle is a listening heart taking me to this unconditional, all-embracing God of my heart.
Just what is up and what is down,
Or what is here or there?
For Him who causes all that is,
Is there a how or where?
Is there a special place where He,
And only He, can be?
A fragment of a separate world
Which we have yet to see?
Or is it true that "home" for Him
Defies the bonds of place
As, whisp'ring in the wind He sings,
While stars reflect His face?
And we, unworthy though we are,
Have but to look within
To find His glory gleaming there
Whose love forgives our sin!
Sr. Irene Mahoney, O.S.U.
May 5, 1921 – May 9, 2015
Sister Irene Mahoney whose religious name was Denis, died peacefully at Andrus on Hudson on May 9, 2015. She was 94 years old.
Irene entered the Order of St. Ursula in 1942 and made her profession of vows in 1945. From 1945-1946 she taught at Blessed Sacrament School in New Rochelle. An outstanding teacher at the College of New Rochelle, 1946-1959, 1962-1980, she taught students a love of literature and a love of writing. Writing was a deeply satisfying vocation for her, and she produced biographies, plays, essays and fiction.
She taught at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Del., from 1959-1962 and Wen Tzao College in Taiwan from 1980 to 1982. Since 1983 she was a free-lance writer. She was part of other writers doing research and writing at the New York Public Library. She was provincial archivist for the community of St. Teresa's in New Rochelle. At all times she was a woman with a talent for making good lasting friends wherever she lived and served.
Irene obtained her Bachelor's degree at the College of New Rochelle in 1941. She earned a Master's degree from Fordham University in 1948 and a PhD from The Catholic University of America. She was in residence at Milay Artists' Colony in 1976. In 1978 she was at Hollins College in Virginia.
Her volunteer activities included Literary Volunteers of America. At the Ursuline Center in Montana she established summer programs focusing on the Ursuline missions and the culture of the native Indians. She was active in Friends of the New Rochelle Public Library and in dramatic programs for Call to Action.
Irene was born in Brooklyn, NY on May 5, 1921 to the late Frank and Mary (O'Rourke) Mahoney.
A Funeral Mass was offered May 11 in the Province Center Chapel. Burial was Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, New Rochelle.]]>
How often we have first impressions that turn out to be far different realities. A person, a situation, an encounter, aren't what we thought. First-hand accounts of the Easter stories show just such recognitions of reality.
Days after the brutal death of Jesus, the Gospel stories after the event artfully show the confusion his followers felt. We read or listen to the first-hand accounts of their extraordinary experiences.
The gospel accounts of Jesus alive show how those who best knew him during his years of ministering, healing, and teaching, did not, after his tortured death on the Cross, recognize him. The man they saw surpassed the limits of human life. His friends could not grasp his bodily presence among them: is this a spirit? Jesus asks for bread: to eat with them confirms his physical presence, his humanity. He invites one of them to touch the wounds in his body. He is alive. They recognize him.
The Easter Jesus approaches his friends in different ways, with the Gospels giving details of each encounter, emphasizing the shocking reality of Jesus alive after death. The first encounter with the resurrected Jesus took place in a garden near the tomb where Mary Magdalene found the body gone, the body she and others had carefully prepared for burial. In her tears she does not recognize the figure nearby—her first impression was the gardener. Jesus says simply, "Mary." That's all that need be said: she recognized Jesus alive. Her following him as a disciple over the years reaches this privileged moment of being a witness to Jesus alive.
A third episode centers on two disciples who are totally bereft at his death. Their journey from Jerusalem was profoundly confusing and sad. A fellow traveler joins them in their journey, and they discuss the meaning of Scriptures. When they stop for refreshment, Jesus blesses the bread—and they recognize him, wondrously alive, inspiring, and true: new life out of real death. Their trust in him through all the events shared with him is now fulfilled: they recognize Jesus alive.
Recognition—a deeper encounter with what was beyond understanding. They become witnesses, eyewitnesses, to Jesus alive. On the witness of these followers of Jesus, our faith is built. We believe, we recognize all that he has said about life and life after death: first Jesus.
A sacred march to town,
with seating on a donkey's colt;
A path of palms thick-strewn,
yet soon to be awash in tears;
Joyous songs of children
echoed by the very stones.
A crowning for the King,
a regal purple robe as well:
A throne erected just for Him —
at thirty silver pieces — cheap!
And just so everyone will know,
a sign is placed above His head.
A fallen crown lies still;
the sacred march has reached its end.
Sobs replace once-happy songs
and silent stones speak joy no more.
An empty throne remains,
its King to enter other realms
As we, amidst the barren scene
are left, in faith, to watch and wait.
What if Lent, this lengthy
entry into Spring —
bereft of birdsong,
flowers, warmth:
a "fast" perhaps, but slow –
What if this unwelcome word
took on a different cast?
Instead of time without —
a time of plenty;
A time "lent" to us by God
to fill our treasure chests of clay;
Borrowed time; Kairos time, tucked
within the Chronos of our day.
Would the ashes then remind us of
the stardust which we are —
promising that time, no longer borrowed,
will endure?
What if our "alleluias," buried now in
purple tones,
can still shine through that filmy veil,
to greet the Bridegroom when He comes?
What if …?

Christmas is coming. Time to celebrate.
What are we really celebrating? All the stores seem to be celebrating, but people these days look pretty bushed, as far as I can see.
It's the birth of a baby, a long time ago.
For a baby born a long time ago it's a pretty big celebration—all over the world, it seems.
Well, this baby grew up to be Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, God in the flesh.
God? Such a tiny bundle – six and a half pounds, maybe? God? God? Can any human being be more vulnerable than a newborn? They need to be fed, to be washed, to be clothed, to be changed. They need to be held, to be carried, to be protected, all the time. They can't do anything for themselves. That's not my idea of God.
Ah, there's the wonder of it, the mystery of it. Remember hearing this? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." And a little further on in the same sacred book, "And the Word became flesh, and made his dwelling among us."
Hmm, yes, I remember hearing all that. But it doesn't say anything about a baby.
True enough. But think a little more. "Flesh" can mean many things. And you yourself hit on one of the most human: vulnerable. Our God, becoming enfleshed, took on vulnerability. In the beginning of his human life, as an infant, as helpless as any other. And in fact, Jesus never outgrew it. Death came to him on a cross, nailed— vulnerable to the end.
That is certainly nothing to celebrate.
Agreed. Not the cross. But go back to your first question: What are we really celebrating?
Somehow, from somewhere, it's coming to me that it must be love—a crazy, almost unbelievable love, from a God who could want so much that his creatures would know he loved them that he emptied himself, became one with them—with us—took on our weakness, and what better testimony of that than the form of a baby.
I think you've got it. And now, let's celebrate.
Merry Christmas!

Ugh! So frustrated with due date calculators!!
Comments (4)
i would go by the date you you ovulated or use a calculator that will allow you to adjust your cycle length. i know it can be confusing. when i was calculating mine, i had to use an average cycle length because my last two cycles off of the mini pill were not the same length. my edd according to the calculators is 2/3, but when i called my ob i was told it is 2/6...who knows, lol!
DS1 May 2009
DS2 December 2010
Patiently awaiting our Rainbow Baby
I was just thinking this same thing! Thankfully my cycles stay pretty true to 28 days....and since I know when I ovulated, either way my edd is 2/4. I know due dates don't mean anything in the end, but its nice to have an idea lol.

Do you have books you reach for when you're having a tricksy day?
When the mountain of washing is higher than K2, your inbox is bulging like duvet inside a string bag, you've a hacking cough and you've just run out of chocolate?
When the Bakeoff has just finished for another year and you feel a little like a slumped souffle?
Yes? So do I
I found The Concise British Flora in Colour in my Grandad's bookcase some time in 1978. The dust jacket drew me in - it's covered in wild roses. In general his shelves were lacking in reading matter suitable for a 6 year old - rather highbrow, lots of gardening, rows of dusty green and brown tomes but along with Edward Lear's Nonsense Omnibus (there was an old man with a beard) and an astonishing series of books about gems (diamonds!) and storms (BIG SPINNING WINDS!) the Concise British Flora became a favourite amongst his books.
It's a guidebook to wildflowers: always a good start, but there isn't a single photograph to be seen. Each and every species of wild and semi-domesticated flower was drawn and painted in meticulous detail by the author, the Reverend William Keble Martin, over a period of sixty years. It was published in 1965 when he was 88, only 7 years before I was born, and was an immediate bestseller yet it seems to have a timelessness to it: each page is like a Victorian botanical plate. In a way this makes sense as William Martin was born in 1877 when Queen Victoria was still on the throne and just as the passion for nature and obsession with collecting and cabinets of curiosity reached its peak. I suspect he absorbed the fascination with botany of those around him when he was young and he channeled this deference to and reverence for plantlife into this exquisite book.
The pages of the Concise British Flora never cease to make me gasp. It's not just the individual drawings that are beautiful, it's the arrangement of these small botanical studies en masse that instills wonder. Each plate is like a small botanical museum - a collection of pressed specimens, a peek into a Victorian collection. These images and this book have been with me for 37 years, yet this is such an enormous collection of drawings - over 1400, that there is always a new cluster of leaves to discover or the name of a tiny, humble, little wayside flower to learn.
This book has been a constant source of inspiration and botanical knowledge for me. Some pages I would adore as a curtain panels, some as prints and some I simply gaze at because of their intricacy. In many cases the most exquisite plates are the ones depicting weeds - small species that may live between paving slabs and that we step on each day without a thought.
This book taught me to squat down as a child and stare at wild plants, especially the smallest of them.
It taught me to appreciate the beauty in a tangled jumble of foliage and each year its pages are echoed in my own garden.
Finally this book has inspired man of my instagram images this year, and I've shared a few of them here.
I'm joining in with dear Laura at Circle of Pinetrees' wonderful A Year in Books project. This isn't just a book for October though, it's one to turn to all year round, for visual solace, inspiration and sheer handpainted wildflower joy.
Note: You may notice that my blog looks a little different. I did consider bringing in some swanky designers to attend to it but in the end I did it myself with some truly invaluable help from Kim Lawler who installed my social media icons quicker than you can say cow parsley. Kim you are briller than a basket of tiny piglets. It seems modern in manner of e.g. a 3d pen or Metal Mickey but those little symbols in the top left hand corner there actually take you to my Instagram or Twitter feeds. I find this quite amazing. I didn't want this place to look overly shiny - the fabric in my header is some linen from my favourite quilt, but this online gaff of mine needed a new electronic frock so that I could step out here to have bloggish tea and cake a bit more often and not feel as though I was wearing my old pyjamas.
I'd love to hear what you think.
