After three years of traveling around the globe, government-trained assassin/amnesiac Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is close to finding out who he is. But a relentless CIA official (a terrific David Strathairn) would rather Bourne wind up at the bottom of a river than get to the bottom of his past.
Big question: Can the last part of the trilogy follow two good movies with a great one and live up to Damon's supremely entertaining, early-season sequel, "Ocean's Thirteen"?
Catch it: Bourne saves his best globetrotting and mental maneuvers for last, and a confident, determined Damon lets you see every conflicted thought of a character who's basically half man, half pre-programmed machine. The series also finally figures out how to keep its pulse racing even when stopping to take a breath--leaving you hanging in suspense one minute and gasping seconds later.
Skip it: If you don't mind being in the dark about the applause-inspiring mid-movie fight that everyone will be talking about. We'd tell you about the heart-pumping chase, endless array of weapons and totally badass hand-to-hand combat, but, hey, you said you didn't want to know.
Bottom line: This is how you do a third installment, avoiding the mild contrivance of the first and coldness of the second in order to kick everything up a notch and a half. A strained study of human conscience doesn't change the fact that "Ultimatum" is summer's prime noisemaker, with twice the adrenaline of "Live Free or Die Hard" and more crushed metal than "Transformers."
Bonus: Lindsay Lohan has a new motto to take with her to movie sets and to court, courtesy of CIA sleaze Noah Vosen (Strathairn): "My number one rule is hope for the best, plan for the worst."
Matt Pais is the metromix movies producer.
'The Bourne Ultimatum'
Directed by Paul Greengrass; screenplay by Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns and George Nolfi, based on the novel by Robert Ludlum; photographed by Oliver Wood; edited by Christopher Rouse; music by John Powell; production design by Peter Wenham; produced by Frank Marshall, Patrick Crowley and Paul L. Sandberg. A Universal Pictures release; opens Friday. Running time: 1:55. MPAA rating: PG-13 (for violence and intense sequences of action).
Jason Bourne - Matt Damon
Nicky Parsons - Julia Stiles
Noah Vosen - David Strathairn
Dr. Hirsch - Albert Finney
Pam Landy - Joan Allen

Comments about Beau-coup Personalized Barbecue Sauce:
I gave the sauce as party favor at my husband's 50th birthday party. It was a huge hit! I tied a miniature hot sauce to the neck of each bottle with raffia. It was a perfect gift! Guests loved it! The only "con" was that it was smaller than I expected.

Holidays bring Bruce Williams to mind
Note: Someone once said that as long as we are remembered, we really never die, and the following column, which was written more than two decades ago, is reprinted below in memory of Bruce Williams, a longtime friend, and a very special West Sacramentan:
The Thanksgiving holiday means different things to different people. For my parents, it's a time to get together with all their kids and grandchildren for a big turkey dinner out at my uncle's house in Davis; for my oldest son, it means his birthday is only a few hours away; for my other two sons, it means a glorious week off from school; and for my wife and daughter, it means cheerfully sorting through a bejillion newspaper ads in search of slashed prices and potential Christmas presents.
For a number of years, though, Thanksgiving weekend has also meant that it was time for me to get off my duff and help out with the setting up of the West Sacramento Little League Christmas tree lot.
There has been a WSLL Christmas tree lot ever since I can remember. For years, it was the league's most important fundraiser, and countless West Sacramentans have participated in going up to the snowline on Thanksgiving weekend to truck back the trees and set up the lot. Hundreds more have volunteered their time to help sell the trees, usually signing up for one or more nights during the Christmas season to watch over the lot and assist customers in locating the perfect tree for them.
Most of the people who have spent a number of years working at the WSLL Christmas tree lot will tell you that it quickly turns into a labor of love. In fact, I know of nothing which puts one into the Christmas spirit faster than an evening of assisting young boys and girls hunt for that one special tree, which, when located, so obviously belongs in their home.
During those years when I spent a number of late-November and early-December evenings at the lot, there was always one person I could count on to help me out on short notice. I would often phone him on a Friday or Saturday night and plead with him to replace someone who had plans they just couldn't cancel.
"You don't have to beg me, Fish," Bruce Williams would say, using an old childhood nickname he knew I hated. "You know I love selling them Christmas trees."
I would thank him profusely and then yell, "And stop calling me Fish!"
When Bruce arrived at the Christmas tree lot, he would always be properly outfitted for the occasion. Unlike me, who could never remember to bundle up and wear gloves, Bruce was an experienced outdoorsman and he would always stroll in decked out like he was going on a camping trip to the Himalayas. While I would jump up and down in my windbreaker and blow on my hands in an unsuccessful effort to stay warm, he would happily wander all around the lot, talking to just about everyone and anyone (Bruce always loved to `visit') who walked through the gate, obviously enjoying himself and snug as a bug in a rug in his thick down jacket.
When the customers would finally begin to thin out, we would often stand around and talk for hours about the good old days, when growing up in West Sacramento seemed so uncomplicated. For most of the years of our youth, Bruce and I lived only a couple of blocks away from each other, he on Rockrose Road and me on Michigan Boulevard. We started high school at James Marshall together in 1961 (by the way, Bruce was voted the best looking boy in the entire school in our senior year) and we were in countless classes together. Later on we coached our sons together in Little League and our shared memories stretched all the way back to neighborhood garage dances, choosing each other on the same pickup teams in P.E., getting bad grades from the same teachers, and even dating some of the same girls.
As the nights at the Christmas tree lot would get late, Bruce and I would almost always get around to swapping war stories about Vietnam. He'd tell me about some of the hot LZ's he had flown into and describe some of the many exotic places he had seen during his travels with the United States Air Force, and I would brag about the little First Infantry Division aero rifle platoon that had been my faraway home for that long ago year. The night would fly by and I would always leave the lot grateful that after all these many years, Bruce Williams was still my friend.
Bruce has been gone for a little over six months now, and for all those many people whose lives he touched (including my daughter and oldest son, who have long been convinced that Bruce Williams was the nicest guy in West Sacramento), this will be their first Christmas without him. It's not going to be easy for any of us, especially for Penny and their boys, Jason and Ryan, but in this special season of thanksgiving, how thankful I am for all my memories of Bruce, and especially for those chilly laugh-filled nights together at the West Sacramento Little League Christmas tree lot.

Contracting license sting leads to charges against 12 in West Sac
State officials conducted a sting operation Nov. 5-6 to catch people violating contractor laws. A total of 112 people may face criminal charges resulting from the sting, reports the California State License Board (CSLB).
The sting took place in seven cities — including West Sacramento, where ten people were cited and another two will face felony charges for using another person's contractor's license.
"Several of the suspects we targeted turned out to be repeat offenders and criminals with a history of violent crimes and drug violations," said CSLB Registrar Steve Sands in a press release. "If you knew their backgrounds, you'd never allow them into your home."
Investigators called unlicensed operators and obtained home improvement bids on projects that included painting, landscaping, tree removal, drywall work, fencing and other work. Some of the suspects were targeted because they had advertised on the Craigslist internet site.
The sting was an attempt to catch some of them practicing contracting without a license. The penalty for conviction is up to six months in jail and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
Many of the suspects will also be charged with illegal advertising, for not including a license number in their ads. Contractors without a license can still bid on jobs valued at less than $500, but their ad must state that they are not a licensed contractor.
Seven of the suspects used contractor's license numbers belonging to "legitimate" contractors, reports the CSLB.
The board urges customers to check up on the licensing of potential contractors by visiting www.cslb.ca.gov or calling 800-321-2757. The website also contains tips for consumers.

Hundreds get help at 'giveaway day'
From Lori Aldrete
Aldrete Communications
for the Yolo County Children's Alliance
It's a long way from Detroit to West Sacramento. But for 37-year-old Latina Taylor and her daughter Jamaica Rayne, a student at Westfield Village Elementary, they are feeling the love of the West Sacramento community and the Yolo County Children's Alliance.
As Latina collected her free turkey dinner, a blanket, toys for "Maka", and clothes for herself and her mom, she repeated over and over, "Thank you. Thank you!" to the volunteers helping more than 600 people needing a helping hand at the 8th Annual West Sacramento Community Give-Away Day on Saturday, November 22 at Westfield Village Elementary School.
Life hasn't been easy for Latina the past few years as the single mom gave up her dream of finishing college at Sacramento State to care for her 6-year-old daughter with serious health issues. She says she feels stereotyped when people look at her "outer shell" and "Coming here today made me feel good. I like to help people, and for people to help me right now…." She paused as tears welled up in her eyes and added, "I'm blessed, so blessed."
Latina and Jamaica aren't alone. For some children it will be their only coat to keep out the winter cold. For 400 families it now means having a real turkey dinner instead of an empty refrigerator at Thanksgiving. And for hundreds of children who may not get many holiday presents, the annual event sent them home with new toys.
Yolo County Supervisor Oscar Villegas and West Sacramento City Council member Chris Ledesma joined numerous student volunteers from River City High School to greet residents and help them navigate through the large multipurpose room and the walkways outside to fill bags full of free food, clothes, toys and blankets.
Yolo County Children's Alliance Executive Director Katie Villegas expressed her gratitude for the many people and organizations that donated their time and resources. "We need a lot of help to make this give-away day happen. Each donation, no matter the size, helped send someone home knowing their community cares about them."
Thousands of dollars were donated. Two local community leaders, Yolo County Supervisor Oscar Villegas and Marty Swingle, owner of Cap West Realty teamed up for a two-tiered match challenge that resulted in $2,000 being raised.
In addition to hundreds of small individual contributions, "YCCA Children's Champs" Tim Stewart and Sierra Health Foundation each donated $2,500. Dr. Dick Huang, Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 447, and the Northern California Construction Training donated at the "Helping Hands" level of $250.
The community give-away was hosted by the Yolo County Children's Alliance in partnership with the Yolo Food Bank, First 5 Yolo, West Sacramento Foundation, St. Joseph's Mobile Mall and West Sacramento Grocery Outlet.
For more information about the event or to find out how to help with it next year, call the Yolo County Children's Alliance at 530-757-5558 or 916-572-0560.

'Sport Stacking' comes to Westfield school
News-Ledger Staff
Several grades of kids at Westfield Village Elementary School took part in a 'Sport Stacking' exercise last week. They worked in shifts in the school auditorium, for an event that was designed as an attempt at a Guinness world record. The maker of the specially-designed "Speed Stack" cups hoped to have 600,000 people across the world doing the activity at the same time. Last year, they had 555,932.
At the Poplar Avenue school, Principal Michele Giacomini led the program, timing the kids as they reconfigured their cup stacks for speed and precision.

Farm to fork, from the back of a trike
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
Collin Samaan is a 25-year old with a mild, friendly manner and a pair of dependable legs. His passions for bicycling and for fresh produce are married through "Veggie Trike," a new venture designed to bring the "Farm to Fork" movement right up to the curb at local neighborhoods.
What's on the back of the trike today?
"We have three different types of lettuce to form a buttery salad," he said, lifting the lid on a cooler during a break on Park Boulevard. "We have garlic-infused sea salt – you get garlic and all your minerals in a great quality of salt. We have apples from Bodhaine Ranch. And rainbow chard, kale and eggplant from 5th and C Farms."
That last selection refers to the pop-up urban farm now operating on a vacant lot at 5th and C streets in West Sacramento's Broderick neighborhood.
"We also sell raw unfiltered honey from To Bee Young Apiaries."
A family in an SUV pulled up alongside the Veggie Trike and asked if Samaan was selling eggs today. He replied that he wasn't – to stock them on the trike would require refrigeration – but he later explained that he is happy to make special deliveries of things like fresh eggs and frozen Apple Hill pies, upon request.
"I work with Abbott Organics," he added. "They are our 'home farm.' My wife, Aimee (Benner), is an employee there. I help there in the mornings."
Then he loads up for his route, which brings him to West Sacramento several days a week since he and Aimee started the venture in August.
The "cargo trike" has a West Sacramento pedigree, with a connection to local resident and businessman John Lucas.
"I work on bikes," said Samaan. "I met him and he invited me to learn how to weld with him. This trike was in his backyard. It had been built in China. We made quality out of this trike."
"I said, 'Let's make use of it – I need to help Anne on her farm, and get the amazing things like the organic salt out to people.'"
Samaan hopes to set up the trike as a traveling produce stand during designated "lunch hours" in West Sacramento and at other locations like "La Bonne Soup" in Sacramento. He's looking for possible locations, possibly near this city's community center and city hall.
And he's happy to take special orders for delivery.
"The coolest thing is that I would love to deliver anytime," he commented. "Give me a phone call or text or message."
To find him, or to place a special order, you can do an internet search for "Veggie Trike" or find it on Facebook.
Samaan said running the trike is a pretty economical, low-overhead operation:
"An apple an hour is all I need."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Bypass Airport Security in New York
An employee at JFK airport went against protocol by escorting the celebrity couple past a TSA checkpoint.
A staffer at New York City's Kennedy International Airport violated security protocol by escorting Kim Kardashian and Kanye West past a TSA checkpoint, The Associated Press reports.
The celebrity pair, who are expecting their first child together, were permitted to bypass the checkpoint after arriving at the airport, known as JFK, via an international flight. After going through customs and baggage, Kardashian and West were shuttled "through a non-public area in order to provide expedited access to their domestic flight," a TSA spokesperson told the AP.
STORY: Deadmau Slams Kanye West: 'I F---king Hate Him'
As it happened, this being a security violation, the parents-to-be were screened privately to compensate for the staffer's mistake. But they made their flight, which took off following a delay of nearly an hour.
Kardashian is due in July. West shocked fans when he announced Kardashian's pregnancy during a Dec. 30 concert in Atlantic City, around the time the couple purchased an $11 million Bel Air mansion with plans to renovate.

Do you honestly believe the Holy Truth lives in a temple made of human hands. Only some are exclusive to HIS love. This excludes the patriarchs prior to Abrahams seed and Adam and the angels and all creation? Where a power and understanding exists such that is of this world, as that is all the elect can fathom? If the Christ was not the messiah what one could do better. If the law is to love God with all and neighbour as self, above self. What law is better if HE IS? Is it is not above the law given to man - not to eat of the fruit or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and laws given to man - then what is?
I started this thread when I was tired and really it was just for fun however I do have a deep sense of what is correct.
God is not Jesus, he is the one full of wroth, jealousy and anger of the Old Testament.
This is not to say he is all bad but he understands you can not rule by sweetness and turning the other cheek, that is for saps. God knows us better then that.
God is a race and they rule by an iron fist. Wait to you meet them ... lol.
Sorry couldn't help it. They intend to go to war with our kind. The best weapon in war is lies and deceit, everyone knows that.
Another day I will explain what they want, in the mean time stop believing in Jesus, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Please verify you're human:

May 13, 2006
HOUSTON -- Sophomore centerfielder Tyler Henley went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI to help the number one ranked Rice baseball team rally from an early 3-0 deficit and claim a 7-4 win over visiting Houston in front of a vocal crowd of 4,126 in the second game of the three-game Conference USA/Silver Glove Trophy series Saturday afternoon at Reckling Park. With the win the Owls evened the series 1-1, setting up the third and final game for the Silver Glove Trophy at 1 pm Sunday at Reckling Park.
After taking the opener on Friday night, the 14th-ranked Cougars were keen to deliver a series knockout Saturday with three-runs in the top of the first inning. Isa Garcia and Brad Lincoln collected back-to-back one-out singles and Matt Weston followed with his second homer of the series to clear the bases and a 3-0 lead.
Rice came right back with a run in the bottom of the frame and three more in the second. Henley led off the first with a double to left-center and he moved to third on a ground out to the right side. He scored on Josh Rodriguez' sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 3-1. The Owls took the lead in the second when Aaron Luna and Danny Lehmann led of with consecutive hits and Jordan Dodson drew a walk to load the bases. Henley knocked single into right field to score two and tie the game, 3-3. A sacrifice fly by Greg Buchanan scored Henley to give the Blue and Gray its first lead at 4-3.
The Owls were not finished scoring. Sophomore Joe Savery led off the fifth inning with a solo home run to right field. His fifth round-tripper of the year gave the Owls a little more room down the stretch. In the eighth, a Dodson walk, a triple by Brian Friday and a double by Rodriguez added two more to stretch the margin to 7-3.
Sophomore Bobby Bell started on the mound for Rice and settled down after the first inning to earn his seventh win of the season without a loss. Bell worked 5.0 frames and did not allow any runs on three hits after the first. He was relieved by Cole St.Clair in the sixth who closed out the came for his team-leading ninth save. The sophomore left-hander scattered three hits and two walks in 4.0 innings while striking out three. He surrendered one run in the ninth for a 7-4 final.
Rice improved to 41-10 overall and 18-2 in the conference. Houston fell to 35-18 on the season and 18-5 against the league.
The series for the annual Silver Glove Trophy as the city's collegiate champion concludes Sunday at Reckling Park. Rice has won each of the last five Silver Glove series dating back to 2001. First pitch is at 1 pm.

I was seriously getting tired of the green blog background but it seemed a nice change when I was anticipating spring. Now that we had such an early spring and then what seemed like summer, I'd had enough. One day I'll change again, just as the weather has.
Out gardening today, it felt as if we were going into fall. brrrr. But I had a few plants to put in, some weeding to deal with before the rain comes again this week. I am so not into gardening and the prospect of bugs and TICKS this year makes it all the less appealing. But, my job it is.
But back to the blog...the only thing I still have in mind is a new header. I can't believe I totally forgot how to do that but I did so it won't be happening today! Maybe in early May.
Here's a nice photo from early morning in my kitchen. No I don't always burn a candle in the morning but I just felt like it on Sunday. Nice, huh?
btw, after seeing this photo, the candle holder went into the dishwasher! In this case, the photo didn't lie.

A Child's Garden of Verses (original 1885; edition 1931)
by Robert Louis (Illustrated By Florence Storer) Stevenson
Work details
A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson (1885)
» 10 more
Robert Louis Stevenson is a classic. How can you read any children's poetry without including "A Child's Garden of Verses". The rhymes and rhythms of Stevenson's words will become an instant hit with the children and his words bring such clarity to the scenes he creates.
Over the years, I have heard a number of authors mention the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson, and none were more impressive than the mention and admiration of the renowned poet, W.S. Merwin. In an interview a few years ago with Bill Moyers, he recounted how his mother read to him every night. He especially loved A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. I have been coveting a copy of this collection for some time, but somehow, other things always got in the way. While wandering through the offerings of Amazon, I came across a copy illustrated by none other than the marvelous children's book illustrator, Tasha Tudor. The book arrived today, and I dropped everything to read it aloud, as Merwin suggested. Some of these poems sounded vaguely familiar, although I cannot recall my mother reading me any poetry. She liked stories, and so did I.
This simple and endearing collection is a wonderful way to introduce children to the magic and beauty of poetry. Here is an example of one I vaguely remember from my childhood, "Bed in Summer":
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hoping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day? (10).
Another brief poem I especially liked was "Looking Forward":
When I am grown to man's estate
I shall be proud and very great,
And tell the other girls and boys
Not to meddle with my toys." (18).
Of course, I would make one minor change – the last word should now be "books." Robert Louis Stevenson's collection,A Child's Garden of Verses is an enchanting source for reading to children and helping them understand the beauty and playfulness of verse. The delightful illustrations by Tasha Tudor, the renowned children's book illustrator, only adds to the experience. 5 stars.
--Chiron, 5/25/15
Given to Ellen Stoner Perry from the Old House Play School 1951
Summary: A collection of poems on a variety of topics including seasons, rain, night and day, and more. Some of the poems are more complex and meant for older children.
Personal reflection: My favorite poem I read from this book was My Shadow because I liked the rhythmic style and the silliness of the poem. I think this book would help students understand there really is a vast range of topics to choose from when writing poetry.
Class use: Read a few poems out loud and ask students which ones were their favorite to get an understanding of what interests them. text set on poetry, read independently and find parts of speech
I'm glad I waited to review this one. I picked it up to read to my son, and his attention wandered, and he was just not up for it, and I was like "no wonder, Robert Louis Stevenson, your whole book is obviously aimed at Victorian grown-ups and their nostalgia for things like climbing trees and visiting the farm that baby Emmett hasn't even experienced yet." But my mum kept telling me how much I loved this book when I was small, and we kept reading, and over nights Stevenson worked his weirding way on both of us: Emmett (as I fancy it--let's face it, he can't even talk yet) feeling himself into the poems through the big, splashy, soft-focus fairy-pictures with their blues and greens and weird perspectives and distant horizons (and the fact is, if he doesn't know yet from farms or trees or penny-cannons, there are a lot of things here that are already part of his everyday: blocks, the rain, the moon, his little shadow, bedtime. And if the prescriptive intent behind all the "nursie" and fairyland and "ships at sea" stuff can get a little cloying--English childhood is an English garden, practice for when English children will leave to conquer and catalogue and administrate the earth!--it is certainly not that Stevenson was an overt imperialist, merely a man of his times. And the ships speak to me too, and remind me to be vigilant to the ways in which children open the door for their parents to embrace conservatism via halcyon-days sentimentality. And in fact, the overt prescriptiveness can be charming: in 2015 we are already more than primed for a statement of creed like "kids love blocks," it has moved from cliché to archetype and needs the merest oblique mention to activate our frames around it. In 1885? The sentimentalization of children as a whole was a relatively new thing; and Stevenson's way of talking about blocks as though no one has ever talked about blocks before in the history of childhood has a courtly formality: "What are you able to build with your blocks?" his opening gambit in the elaboration of the highly moral thesis "blocks are a tool of the imagination." Like, every time I get to the poem about the enigmatic rider I have to remind myself that he's not a headless horseman (although this does, of course, postdate Ichabod Crane); today he would have to be to get the kids to put down the ipad and listen, and the HH has become in fact a stock character, familiar/lovable/entirely unremarkable/not even scary. The fact that a mere headful horseguy riding by night can conjure up a world of mystery feels so fresh and sincere and simple, like drinking cold water, and if I didn't manage to avoid the curmudgeonly ipad grumbling entirely in this review, I will just say that horseman–ipad–starry night sky, it's all equally as new to my boy.
And the ultimate point here is that now the soft trundling doggerel of it is the only book he has that actually puts him to sleep and doesn't stir up the blood like Go Dog Go! and suchlike, and when you read to him from A Child's Garden he cuddles up and looks at the pictures and drifts away and he is happy.
Joni Lucas (Children's Literature)
Stevenson's poems and stories are American classics. Poems about rain, foreign lands, travel, windy nights, shadows, swings, cows, the moon and other fanciful things and places fill up this beautifully illustrated book of poems that would make a great gift for new parents. Tasha Tudor's watercolor illustrations help convey the historical flavor of Stevenson's work and conjure up images of simpler times for children. 1999 (orig. 1981), Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers, $18.00. Ages All.

richard r blakeBridgman, MIAge: Over 65Gender: male4 Stars Out Of 5Testimonies of People Who Have Seen the After-LifeDecember 21, 2012richard r blakeBridgman, MIAge: Over 65Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for Visions of Heaven: 4 Stories of People Who Have Seen the After-Life.Bestselling author Roberts Liardon relates the accounts of four people who have had glimpses into the after-life in his book "Visions of Heaven." The stories begin with his own account of an open vision of a visit to heaven as a child. This testimony has been received by over a million people through the use of spoken and written presentations.
Liardon carefully explains four types of visions and angels: he also discusses the subjects of the rivers of life, the substance of praise, the throne room of God, unclaimed blessings and the river of life. He describes Jesus as Lord, Savior, and friend and the awareness of God's presence.
In Marietta Davis' account of her vision of heaven in the year 1848 she provides the reader with assurance of the absence of fear in heaven, no sorrow, or suffering. Rebecca Springer's vision tells of the beauty of heaven, the river of life, the mansion of heaven and of life in heaven. H. A. Baker and his wife while serving as missionaries opened Adullam Home for teenage beggar boys on the streets Kotchiu, China. These children were caught up in a vision to the city of God and testify of seeing Jesus on the Throne, much as He appeared to John on the Isle of Patmos.
Every reader will appreciate the Question and Answer section included in the appendix. Answers include what the Bible says with specific references providing the answers.
"Visions of Heaven" is a beautiful story of promise; it is a revelation of God's love, offering joy, comfort, affirmation, and rest to the believer.
A complimentary copy of this book was was provided for review purposes. The opinions expressed are my own.

If you are an active member of the U.S. armed forces (referred to in this article as the "armed forces"), there may be times when you don't get a chance to make your IRA contribution by the yearly April 15 deadline. You may also be concerned about how your time in the armed forces affects your eligibility to participate in your employer's plan and receive plan benefits. Worry not! As a member of the armed forces, you are entitled to certain benefits that, for the purposes of determining your eligibility to receive things like employer contributions and the ability to become vested in those contributions, credit you with years of service. In this article, we will give an overview of these benefits.
Note: According to the IRS, "for federal tax purposes, the U.S. Armed Forces includes officers and enlisted personnel in all regular and reserve units controlled by the Secretaries of Defense, the Army, Navy and Air Force. The Coast Guard is also included, but not the U.S. Merchant Marine or the American Red Cross. However, these and other support personnel may qualify for certain tax deadline extensions because of their service in a combat zone."
Governing Law
Your employer may require that you perform services for a certain period of time in order to become eligible to receive and become vested in plan contributions. If you break employment for a certain period, you may be required to restart your eligibility service. A person who is an active member of the armed forces, however, is one of those exempt from this rule.
The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) provides that special consideration be given to individuals who serve in the armed forces. Under USERRA, active members of the armed forces must not suffer adverse consequences to their employment and retirement benefits as a result of being an active member of the armed forces.
Credit for Service
Generally, if you do not work more than 500 hours for the plan year, you incur what is referred to as a "break in service", which may affect your eligibility to participate in your employer's retirement plan or to be vested in contributions. However, if this break in service is a result of your service as an active member of the armed forces, it will not affect your eligibility. (For some background reading on retirement plans, check out Which Retirement Plan Is Best?)
An Example
Say you are required to work for two years in order to become eligible to participate in a profit-sharing plan and receive profit-sharing contributions. Your first year of employment is 2012. You worked for the full year in 2012, but you only worked for 499 hours in 2013. As of 2013, you have completed only one year of eligibility service because you did not work for more than 500 hours in 2013. However, if your reduced number of hours is a result of the time you served in a combat zone, and you are re-employed by that same employer, you will, as of the end of 2013, be credited the additional required time to meet the two-year service requirement.
Receiving Employer Contributions
If your employer maintains a defined-benefit plan, defined-contribution plan or a SEP or SIMPLE IRA, then the plan must include provisions for you to receive contributions that you would have received had you not been an active member of the armed forces. For instance, if you should have received a contribution of $1,000 for tax-year 2013, but you did not receive this amount because you were serving in a combat zone, your employer is required to contribute the $1,000 to your account, after you are re-employed.
Contributions made by your employer are based on compensation that you would have received had you not been an active member of the armed forces. Note however, that if your employer makes a matching contribution, which means you must first make a deferral contribution in order to receive the employer's, you will receive only the employer's contribution when you make the deferral contribution after you are re-employed. Generally, you are allowed three times the period in which you were active in the armed forces to make up the salary-deferral contributions that you missed, providing the period does not exceed five years.
What If the Contribution Exceeds the Limits?
| Your Salary-Deferral Contributions
The contributions you make for the years you were an active member of the armed forces are not considered for determining the maximum amount you may contribute for the tax year. For instance, for tax year 2012, the maximum limit for contributing to a 401(k) plan as a salary-deferral contribution was $16,500. However, if, you made a contribution for the 2013 tax year because your service to the armed forces had prevented you from doing so in 2012, you would be allowed to contribute up to $34,000 ($16,500,for 2012 and $17,500 for 2013.)
Your Employer
Repaying Your Qualified Plan Loan
If you received a loan from your qualified plan, the amount must be repaid within five years unless the loan was used toward the purchase of a primary residence. This five-year period may be extended for the period you were an active member of the armed forces. (For more insight, see Qualified Plan Loans: Guidelines To Operations.)
Making Your IRA Contribution
Generally, for armed-forces personnel serving time in a combat zone, the IRS allows an automatic extension for filing tax returns and taking tax-related actions, such as making IRA contributions. For these individuals the deadline, which is usually April 15, is extended to at least 180 days after either of these two dates:
- The last day of qualifying combat zone service.
- The last day of any continuous qualified hospitalization for injury from service in the combat zone.
Documentation Requirements
Consult with your IRA custodian to determine if there are any specific documentation requirement for handling these IRA contributions. Also, your employer may require documentation to make these special allowances on your behalf. Consult your employer or human resources representative.

My Freedom-giver and Protector
Dream received July 1, 2015
Part 1
I was with a group of people at a table playing a Bible board game. As we played, I saw a space on the board called Slavery in Egypt. Whoever landed there would be unable to play until a particular card was turned over on the stack. That card would give the player the password to be set free from bondage.
The woman beside me had played the game before so I asked her if she remembered the secret word to leave Egypt. She smiled and said, "Yes." Then, however, she put her finger to her lips indicating she wouldn't tell me what it was! "You will find out soon enough," she said.
The first time around the board, I landed on Slavery in Egypt. Every turn thereafter, I pulled a card from the stack on the board, hoping against all hope that it contained the code word so I could rejoin the game. By the time I finally turned over the card I needed, I felt like a caged bird and was eager to be delivered from captivity. The word on the card was Passover.
Part 2
I was standing beside a gentle stream talking with some friends. We had been canoeing in the peaceful water all afternoon. It was getting late so we were discussing where to spend the night. Someone suggested tying the canoes to trees along the banks and sleeping in them. This sounded like a wonderful idea to us because we were tired. We eagerly began to climb into the boats. Suddenly we realized that there were more people than there were canoes. Two people would need to sleep in each canoe!
One of my friends walked over and kindly invited me to sleep in his canoe. I knew the man well and trusted him. Thanking him for his kind offer, I took his arm and climbed into his canoe. Then I carefully laid down beneath the seats in the bottom of the canoe.
As I did so, the man said, "I'll sit in the back of the boat so you can rest comfortably. Don't worry; I am with you. Don't be afraid; I am your God…." (Isa. 41:10).
I knew I was safe in this man's boat. The water gently rocked me to sleep.
A Lamp unto My Feet
Dream received June 16, 2015
I was sitting alone in a small room, drifting in and out of sleep.
A man walked up beside my chair. Placing his hand on my shoulder, he gently woke me up. I thought I was alone in the room so I was startled when I felt his touch. In my sleepy stupor, I looked up to see a tall, shining man. I knew it was an angel. On his face was a look of sincere concern.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
Somehow I knew that he was asking whether I was ready for the time of trouble soon to come upon God's people. "Of course I am ready!" I said to myself. To my dismay, however, the answer "yes" wouldn't come out. My sleepy head nodded "yes," but the word "yes" was stuck in my throat. I couldn't seem to shake off my drowsiness.
The angel looked even more concerned when I could not answer his question. Then I realized the truth: I was not ready! The angel left my side as quickly and quietly as he had appeared.
I woke up.
Fully conscious now, I prayed earnestly, "Father, wake me from my stupor so I can prepare for the troublesome times ahead."
Then I asked God, "What do I need to do to get ready?"
About an hour later, as I was sleeping again, an intense light flooded my mind. That Light was my answer.
I woke up.
Verses that came to mind after this dream:
Awake, sleeping ones! And arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light. So be very careful how you live, making the best use of the time. Live wisely, not like fools. Ephesians 5:14, 15.
We are God's watchmen. He commands us, "Sleep not! Watch and be ready! The foe is lurking near, ready at any moment, should you become lax and drowsy."
Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105.
For the commandment of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction. Proverbs 6:23.
We need the truth of the living Word to be ready. Scripture is our defense to stand through the last great conflict. His Word is a chart pointing out every waymark on our journey to heaven. We need the Law of God written on our hearts because it teaches us His holy requirements. His divine power and wisdom are present in His Word and in His Law.
The Woman on the Wall
Dream received June 9, 2015
A group of tourists was standing outside the thick stone walls of an ancient city in the Middle East listening to their tour guide.
Suddenly a woman cried out, "Look!" She pointed to a child who had slipped away from the crowd and was painstakingly scaling the massive stone wall. A hush fell over crowd. The young girl was climbing to the top! As she carefully placed her feet in the cracks and crevices, pulling herself up with her small hands, no one dared breathe. Could she ascend the wall without falling?
Finally the girl scrambled over the top, breathing heavily. She sat on the stones at one corner, dangling her legs over the rocks, and smiled triumphantly. The crowd cheered but the girl scarcely noticed. Her eyes were on one man standing in the group far below: her dad.
Her father, relieved his young daughter had ascended the wall safely, smiled gently but approvingly. He was delighted with her victory. He pointed upward to God in silent thanksgiving for His grace, and she nodded in agreement.
As they shared this unspoken joy, the young girl became a beautiful woman wearing a long white dress. The woman stood on the wall in victory. Like the girl, she had scaled the high wall by God's grace.
She raised her hands to heaven. God saw her and smiled. His grace was sufficient.
Then I woke up.
President Obama
Dream received June 9, 2015
I was in a large, tastefully decorated living room filled with expensive furniture and massive fresh floral arrangements. I recognized it as a room in the White House. The voice of President Obama could be heard in the distance as he gave a personal tour.
After a short time, Mr. Obama disappeared and the group stood talking among themselves in low tones. Then I heard President Obama's voice outside the White House where he was addressing a large crowd.
"Great change is coming to America," he declared. "You will accept those changes. You will have to agree to them."
This announcement alarmed me, but the crowd clapped and cheered.
Then I woke up.
The dreams I have posted on this site about the Second Coming of Christ were received between 2009 and 2015. I have faithfully transmitted what came to me. I have been obedient to my charge, trusting my Father's calling. The gravity of what is said, the opposition from Satan, and the responsibility of sharing these is possible only by His Spirit. With faith and courage from my Master, I share them with you.
Jeremiah declares:
Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the LORD, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:32.
There is urgency in the messages. It is time now to tell of His soon appearing. This is my duty. To tarry would be a mistake.
Jesus says:
He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and reveal myself to him. John 14:21.
Christ our Savior gives revelations of Himself to His people. Many are testifying to this truth from their experience. They too have had manifestations from their Redeemer about His soon return. He has spoken to their souls and unfolded the wonders of His person. I too am delighted to receive these revelations.
…In Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11.
As you read these dreams, do they reinforce God's Word?
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
How can we know if a dream or vision is from the Spirit of God rather than Satan? Prayerfully ask and answer these questions:
Does it strengthen my faith in God?
Does it encourage purity and holiness in my life?
Does it encourage the Body of Christ?
Does it reveal something about the character and nature of God?
Consider the person who received the dream and the circumstances under which it was given. The answers to these questions will prove the genuineness of the dream.
It was Christ who told John to record what was to be opened before him. "What you see, write in a book," He commanded, "and send it to the seven churches…" (Rev. 1:11).
May the messages contained in these dreams strengthen the Bride of Christ.
I was climbing a tall ladder which reached into the clouds.
I was carefully carrying a long tray filled with 10 or 12 small candles. About half of the candles were lit; the others had gone out.
When I reached the top of the ladder, I handed the tray of candles to someone above me and waited. In a short time, the tray was returned to me. All of the candles were burning brightly.
I carefully descended the ladder.
Then I woke up.
The Unvarying Message: Behold, the Bridegroom Comes!
Dream Received May 22, 2015
I walked through the back entrance of a large church one morning, the heavy wooden doors banging shut behind me. As I passed the door of a small room in the rear of the church, a young man emerged. He was yawning and carrying a big puffy quilt.
"You woke me up!" he grumbled as he headed toward the doors I had entered a short time before.
"I'm so sorry," I apologized politely. "I didn't know anyone was sleeping in there."
"I'll just have to sleep somewhere else today," he complained.
I walked to the front of the church. In the center of the platform was an old-fashioned wooden barrel. A small box was sitting on a table beside the barrel.
Inside the box were about a dozen slips of paper, apparently left there from the previous night's prayer meeting. At that time, each person attending was given an opportunity to choose a paper from the box which had a Scripture written on it with a message especially for them.
As I took a slip of paper, several other people who had come in the church after me also took papers.
I read the words on my paper to myself. It said, "Behold, the Bridegroom comes."
I recognized the truth and urgency in the statement. Then I watched as the other people read their papers. They looked at each other in amazement.
Curious, I asked one of them, "What does your paper say?"
Without a word, he showed me the paper. It read, "Behold, the Bridegroom comes."
"And yours?" I asked someone else.
"Behold, the Bridegroom comes," he said.
All of our papers had the same message.
I woke up.
Note: I share the dream as it was given. Please consider the significance of it, especially in relation to dreams I have had with comparable meanings during the past several weeks.
United in Christ
United in Christ
A Dream Received May 15, 2015
I was with a group of about ten people standing in a tight circle on a quiet suburban street. We had our arms around each other, heads bowed in prayer. The bond of love and affection we shared was obvious.I was with a group of about ten people standing in a tight circle on a quiet suburban street. We had our arms around each other, heads bowed in prayer. The bond of love and affection we shared was obvious.
I was with a group of about ten people standing in a tight circle on a quiet suburban street. We had our arms around each other, heads bowed in prayer. The bond of love and affection we shared was obvious.
We had studied the Scriptures all day in the home of an elderly member of our group. She didn't come outside to pray with us because it was difficult for her to get around even with a cane.
Teary-eyed, our elder sister sat on the sofa near the living room window watching us.
Unmarked cars were waiting for us nearby. Soon we would be taken to an unknown destination and none of us knew what would happen to us after that.
Several of us were crying because we knew we would not meet again until we were caught up together in the clouds with our beloved Savior.
Separated from the Body
We, the body of Christ, were being torn apart, limb by limb, at the thought of separation. I was deeply distressed about this. The intense sorrow, anguish of spirit, and long periods of silence between our prayers showed that my brothers and sisters were distraught as well.
If one part of the body suffers, then all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part is honored, then all the other parts share its honor. All of you together are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of that body. 1 Corinthians 12:26-27
While we were praying, a woman wearing a charcoal grey trench coat silently emerged from one of the waiting cars and stole up behind us.
Without a sound, she pulled a tiny camera out of her pocket and took multiple photographs of our prayer circle. There was a look of intense hatred on her face as well as triumphant glee. She had caught us doing something illegal and was proud of it. The woman scurried off with her camera full of pictures.
We ignored the woman, having full assurance that we were in the will of God and His power would protect us.
After one last warm group embrace, we silently filled the waiting vehicles.
I turned around in the backseat of the car and waved goodbye to our elderly sister still watching from the living room window. With tears rolling down her cheeks, she waved back. She was powerless to save us and powerless to join us, yet very much one with us through our Beloved Savior.
As we pulled away from the house, I again looked out the back window. She was now being escorted outside to a waiting car. As she slowly and painfully shuffled down the path leaning heavily on her cane, she bravely waved to me again.
Inside the car was another elderly woman from our group. When I looked again, their heads were bowed in prayer and their mouths were moving. Then, in silent but stoic tears, huddled together in the back seat, they clasped one another in a heartfelt embrace.
The three of us in the back seat of our vehicle clasped hands and began to pray fervently for our aged sisters in Christ. Our prayer infuriated the driver.
Filled with rage, he accelerated the vehicle. Faster and faster we traveled.
Suddenly there was a bright flash of light and I woke up.
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12
There is Strength in Unity
Union is strength, and the Lord desires that this truth should be ever revealed in all the members of the body of Christ. All are to be united in love, in meekness, in lowliness of mind. Organized into a society of believers for the purpose of combining and diffusing their influence, they are to work as Christ worked. They are ever to show courtesy and respect for one another. Ellen White, Lift Him Up, p. 295.
From Rooftop to Village
From Rooftop to Village
A Dream Received May 11, 2015
I was enjoying a warm, sunny afternoon on the flat rooftop of a house on the outskirts of a Mediterranean village. The canopy of blue sky refreshed my soul. A gentle breeze stirred the lush potted plants around me.
"I am Coming Soon"
I heard a sweet, melodious sound which I recognized as the voice of my Master, Jesus. He said, "Get down off the roof. Go into the village below and tell the people I am coming soon."
My Sheep
I hurried down the winding stone stairway toward the quiet street below. A pretty pink bicycle was resting against the inner wall of the compound.
"Should I use the bike?" I asked the Master.
"No, you won't need the bicycle," Jesus said. "Hurry through the streets. The ones who know My voice will listen. My sheep know My voice."
And whenever He brings out His own sheep, He goes before them; and the sheep follow Him, because they know His voice. John 10:4 (EMTV)
I passed through the narrow gate to the quiet street.
Sharing the Message
A dark-haired little girl 4 or 5 years old playing in the street saw me leaving the house.
She looked at me and smiled.
Taking my hand, she said confidently, "I'm ready. Let me come with you to share the message."
We departed together with the blessing of our Savior.
And He called the Twelve and began to send them out by two and two.,,Mark 6:7 (MKJV)
Be Ready
But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into.
Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Matthew 24:43, 44 ESV

Y'know, it's already harder and harder to get excited about each new NFL season as more information steadily comes out about how inherently dangerous the sport, notably at the professional level, is to the human brain.
And now we have the owner-imposed referee lockout to dampen enthusiasm even further.
It's really difficult to root for a sport that is owned and operated by some of the meanest people who walk the face of the earth.
Roughly two and a half decades ago I got married, finished graduate school, and moved to Vermont for a job teaching at Middlebury College. That was a time when U-Haul, a company synonymous with cross-country moves, had the motto: "Adventures in Moving."

Here he comes, just at the start, and he's a beauty.
The Phee-nom.
I wish it were the old days, when baseball in August was just heating up, prelude to the pennant run and the Series, and not a concession to the colossus that is football these days.
What a great baseball season in the Majors we have, this summer.
Sure, the Red Sox are down — how can they not be, with all those injuries: 26 players on the "disabled list" this summer, the most of any team in the last 25 years. Now, Middlebrooks.
As usual, the Olympics have hooked me. No, I haven't watched the London Games 24/7. The need to stain our deck, get our new desktop computer up to speed and other household chores have gotten in the way. Oh, and they actually expect me to show up for work, too. The nerve.
Still, my family and I have watched a fair amount, some live on our desktop, some painfully parceled out by NBC in primetime, and some recorded on our DVR. The DVR is great because it allows us to skip through video of gymnasts and swimmers when they were kids, not to mention Super Pac ads.
What to do on a summer's day is not really a problem for me. Just my list of outdoor projects around the house could keep me busy for weeks. I need to get my trailer hitched up and haul the cut-and-split firewood stacked on lumber trails around the property, so I can get it under a shed roof before snowfall.
Black kids in the U.S. don't play baseball anymore.
As a generalization, that's true. Participation by African-Americans in baseball has declined precipitously at all levels in the last two decades or so.
In 1975, 27 percent of all major leaguers were African-American. Now that number is 8 percent. The Red Sox have one African-American on their 25 man roster, Carl Crawford.
Where to sleep? That was the question. Beneath the roof of the lean-to shelter, or under the much higher and vaster "roof" of open sky and star-filled heavens?
In the heat of July, sustained focus and long, reasoned arguments can be difficult to maintain, especially for the easily distracted.
Wait, was that the hummingbird at the fuchsia again?
Oh, right, anyway, it's time for a sports snippets column.
• As of late last week, the last two baseball games I saw played were an American Legion Addison County team game and a Vermont Lake Monsters vs. Lowell Spinners contest in Burlington.
