I probably don't need to tell you that social media has been ablaze with reasons why Millennials are not attending church (see here and here). And there have been multitudes of Facebook and Twitter arguments about who is right and wrong about divided issues. Peeling the layers behind the heated discussions that have been filling our Twitter feeds and Facebook walls over the past few weeks reveals a deeper issue that I believe is the key to the success (or failure) of those who consider ourselves to be Christ followers to effectively communicate the Good News of Jesus Christ. More specifically, for United Methodists to live out our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
The issue at stake is community, the connectedness of people to one another and to God. Today, our society is so connected (via technology) that we have become disconnected, even isolated when it comes to authentic, face to face connection with one another. What we gain is the ability to communicate with one another whenever, or wherever we are around the world. But, what we lose is so much more. At it's core, we lose communion with one another; the connection we were created to enjoy with God and with one another. You've seen the Facebook rants one way or another on a hot and divided issue, then the comments that follow. It's hard to find many comments that are Christ-like in tone, and the virtual conversation spirals out of control until the final decision is made to hit the ultimate Facebook slap button - "unfriend". But, what does this accomplish? Does this mean you are no longer friends in the real world?
Think about the above conversation occurring over a meal at the dining room table, or at your favorite restaurant with your friends. Yes, the conversation may become heated and yes, there may be inappropriate outbursts. However, there is a physical and social connection present that allows one to see the emotion, the passion, and even the drive behind what is being said. Even more importantly, you become vulnerable. There is no power button, and it is more difficult to just get up and walk away. You can't just "unfriend" and no longer hear or see that person. You have to physically get up out of your seat, grab your jacket, and walk out the door. That event will then (hopefully) lead you to process your thoughts and actions (either positively or negatively).
Many studies have been conducted within the area of addiction and connectedness, which really has something to do with what I am talking about here. Johann Hari gives a TED Talk (here) where he goes against the grain of all that we've been taught about addiction being primarily biochemical in nature. His premise (along with several other researchers) is that the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but connection. Addiction takes many forms, to include addiction to the device we hold in our hand and check frantically to see if someone has "liked" or "shared" our latest Facebook post. Think about why we do that... We desire to be connected. But what happens when we find that instead of liking our post, someone comments with a zinger that sends us into left field, wondering where we went wrong or why they didn't agree with us.
What the world needs is not another reason to believe this or that, or even a reason to jump on this side or that side, to "like" this post or that post. What the world needs now, more than ever from the gathered community of faithful followers of Jesus Christ is the open invitation to join with us in communion with God through Jesus Christ. With all our imperfections and failures. With all our failed dreams and lost hopes. With our addictions and pridefulness. I've heard it said that people need to belong before they believe. If this is true, and I believe it is, then we (the Church) need to be making our number one priority the way we live out our connection with God and with one another. I am thankful to be a part of a faith tradition that celebrates an open table when it comes to sharing in the sacrament of Holy Communion. If you desire to be in a relationship with Jesus Christ, or desire to deepen your faith, then you are invited. That's it. No memberships, no pledge cards, no hassles. Just come, as you are to the table of God's love and be nourished as the bread of life fills you with grace and mercy to live into community as God's beloved child.
But living into community has its responsibilities as well. When we decide to respond to God's grace knocking at the door of our heart, we begin a journey of learning how to be humble, kind, self-less, and a servant to all. Instead of getting the best seat in the house, we give it up to another so that we then take the least preferable seat. This is the evidence of God's grace at work on our hearts and lives. It is this grace that calls us, even propels us forward to engage in acts of justice and mercy as we seek to live under the law of love (Galatians 5:14) and not the law of being right.
Friend, let us be authentic in seeking out community with one another. Let us not seek to be right so much as to be loving and kind, even if we are right. Seeking God's presence in authentic community where we can agree to disagree, yet remain sisters and brothers in Christ is so much more valuable than any "like" on Facebook.
Because of Christ,
Restless Grace

A Plea for Authentic Community

Lately I've been contemplating the power of water and its inherent properties that enable it to flow wherever there is access. In fact, even when we think we've done enough to patch every hole, cover every crack, and waterproof any point of entry, water continues to find its way into places we would rather it not go. Over the past week or so, we have not been wanting for more water as it has been raining in buckets for several days. Not that we don't need the rain; the ground has been soaking it up like a sponge. However, there are some areas where the ground is causing the water to simply run off, or pool into large puddles.
Witnessing the rain and subsequent pools of water that recede into the thirsty ground has caused me to think about how much we allow God's love to permeate the depths of our souls. Scripture tells us that God's love is not forced on us to accept, but that Jesus stands at the door of our heart and knocks, waiting for us to answer and let him in; not just to visit but to live and dwell that we may be changed from the inside out. In fact, in John 15:9-12 we read this:
How thirsty is your soul? How open is your heart to allowing Jesus to take up residence within you? Are you willing to allow God's love to permeate your being and flow through you by the power of his Holy Spirit?
"I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you." - New Living Translation
Think about the waters of baptism and the flood of joy that fills your heart when you recognize God's presence in the midst of your circumstances. Be thankful for God's great love through his son Jesus Christ that is still redeeming us, recreating us, and transforming us by the power of God's Holy Spirit.
Let's continue the conversation. What are your thoughts?

Snowmageddon and Waking Up Before the Sun
|"Snowmageddon" from my window...
A few things I've learned this week:
- In the Army, it's always your fault. Even if it's not.
- A haircut each week makes the day go much better (and keeps the sergeant happy)
- Not getting a haircut means everyone has an opportunity to "learn" (do push-ups) with you. FYI I was not the one who didn't get a cut, so not my fault (oh wait, bullet point one...).
- Waking up at 4am means bedtime by 8pm.
- Staying up until 11pm to catch the Grammy's was not a smart move.
- I am an MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) hoarder...
- The Army seems to enjoy making you do things, just because
- I can rappel down a 40 foot tower and not die, pee, or poop in my pants
- The commando rope obstacle is the spawn of Satan
- Marching can be fun!
- Left-face means LEFT-face (my other left)
- Having chapped lips in the gas chamber leaves one speechless...
- I am better at using a compass than I thought! (Thanks, orienteering merit badge!)
I am sure that as this week progresses, I will have more opportunities to learn. Overall, this has been an awesome experience so far. I hope that I can keep honing the skills I've been learning so that I can be the best Army Chaplain I can be.
Until next time!

CIMT - Week 1 Done
As you may already know, I am serving in ministry as an Army Reserve Chaplain while leading my congregation full-time. As a Chaplain in the United States Army, I am required to undergo basic training so that I am prepared to minister to my soldiers as a soldier myself. I have heard people say that Chaplain school is "basic training lite" or that it's "basic training for gentlemen". Nothing could be further from the truth. While it is true that our training is not as intense as an enlisted soldier, the requirements are very much the same. Chaplains are required to meet the same physical, emotional, and psychological challenges with the same fortitude as an E-1 Private (or, warrior as they are now referred to).
The first segment of training that an Army Chaplain is required to go through is called Chaplain Initial Military Training (CIMT). It is during this segment that we are trained to think and act like soldiers. Keep in mind that several of us have not had prior service or experience in the military. This four-week course is designed to get us into shape and teach us the in's and out's of being a soldier and leading other soldiers as an officer.
I have just completed my first week of CIMT, and I am feeling it! This week included a lot of in-processing (paperwork for medical, legal, insurance, etc.) and several classes on various topics (How to fill out certain forms to get paid, differences between active and reserve components, and physical training standards). I can say that there have been some low points where I have felt overwhelmed and very much unprepared for the weeks ahead. I have also been learning that in the Army, a culture of accountability and responsibility are at the core of everything that is said and done. We have been assigned a Battle Buddy, someone we are accountable for and to. If you get to do push-ups, your Battle Buddy joins you (as I found out as my BB had his hands in his pockets). It's all good, because I'm sure that I'll experience some of this Army "joy" at several points. At the same time, I have experienced some great moments of real joy and affirmation as I stand side by side with my fellow Chaplain students and we recall our purpose for joining in the first place. These affirmations are strong as we all come from different faith backgrounds and experiences, and as we share these experiences, we recognize a common thread of love for people and God.
I have surprised myself this week, running faster than I thought possible and engaging in more exercises with less exhaustion. To be honest, this is an area that I have been nervous about as I know that I am not a strong runner and my upper body is in need of improved strength. However, there has been great encouragement as I have been pushed to my limit, and I know that in the weeks to come, my limit will be stretched even further.
I am thankful that God has led me to this ministry, and I look forward to serving in ministry to soldiers and their families. I really believe that there will be a breadth to the ministry that God as called me to, both in the local church and in my "extended" congregation in the military.
Thank you for your continued prayers of encouragement, strength, and protection for me, my family, and my church.
Until next time!

When You Know You're Doing It Right
|Andrew's artwork titled "Joseph"
Sunday afternoons as a clergy family are interesting...
In the fall, I typically turn on the Lions and watch them (attempt) to play football. Yesterday was no exception (at least for me - The Lions didn't even seem to show up during the second half). The boys will get out their Legos, monster trucks, and various other toys. My wife will typically be seen watching a movie on Chicktime (Lifetime, that is). Sometimes we will play a family game together, or just enjoy snuggling on the couch as we watch a family movie.
Sometimes, the boys want to make things. Usually out of play-dough or sand. However, many of the gifts that I typically receive are in the form of artwork. Andrew and Josh both enjoy making works of art and giving them away. Yesterday, Andrew gave me this drawing of his interpretation of Joseph, from the Old Testament stories. With a smile on his face, and a hint of pride in his voice, he said "Here daddy, put this in your office." Not thinking anything of it at the moment, I said "Thank you" and set it down (not my proudest parenting moment but hey, football!). Andrew promptly responded by saying "Now go put it in your office".
What is it about receiving hand-drawn pictures from our children that just melts our hearts like warm butter on a hot ear of corn? I'm not sure, but I think it has a lot to do with the satisfaction of knowing that, as a parent, you must be doing something right. And, I think that the reciprocated feeling of our children seeing the smile on our face brings them great joy and satisfaction that they, too are doing something that brings joy to us.
After all, is it not our job as parents to encourage our children and cheer-lead them on in their lives?
Another thing... I wonder how God feels when we use our gifts and talents to honor him... I tend to believe that God puts on a humongous smile and says "Great job". And, unlike the earthly parent who decides to soak up just one more play from the football game, God gets up right away to put the picture on his wall.

A Quarter and a Thankful Heart
For the past several years, I have enjoyed shopping at Aldi for many of our grocery needs. When we moved last year, I was disappointed that we would have a longer drive to the store we would typically frequent. However, just last week I discovered that there is an Aldi in Ann Arbor, YES!
But, why do I talk about Aldi? And, what in the world does this have to do with my journey with Christ?
Quite frankly, a lot!
For those who have never had the Aldi "experience" (and that's what it is, let me tell ya!), let me elaborate on one of my favorite things about Aldi - You pay a quarter for your shopping cart. That's right! But, you get it back when you return the cart. Not only do you get to back out of your parking spot without the surprise that someone left a cart, just for you, in your blind spot, but the quarter experience is something you can pass on to someone else. For me, it means leaving the quarter in the cart so that the next person can use it. I have been the recipient of this gift many times, and it just makes my day! How wonderful it is to leave this simple gesture of thankfulness and generosity for someone else to experience.
What if we were more aware of the simple ways we could be thankful for what we have been given, and be a blessing to someone else? This must be what it means to be "thankful in all things" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
The Shaker's had it right when they wrote "Simple Gifts". I leave you with some of the verses from this great hymn...

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be freeMaybe, if we learn to be thankful for all things, we'll all come 'round right...
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.

A New Adventure Begins
|Signing the Oath of Office in my office
I am blessed to have the opportunity of knowing a brother in the Lord who is in my congregation and is also a retired Army officer, a Lieutenant Colonel to be more precise. George had offered to swear me in when my oath arrived, and sure enough on 6 June around 1300, he did just that. I am blessed because I know that my congregation is supporting me in this endeavor, knowing that there will be times that I will need to be absent to fulfill my Reserve duties. In essence, I will be serving another church, yet this church will not have a church building per se. This is one of the most exciting aspects of Army Chaplaincy that I am honored to be a part of. Although I have yet to be assigned a unit, I know that God's hand is upon the process.
Please continue in prayer for me and my family as we continue to navigate the continued process and as Maria and the boys transition to life as an Army Reserve family. I know they are making a great sacrifice as well and they need to be recognized for their dedication to this call. Again, I am blessed to be surrounded by such affirming people.
I will do my best to keep you updated throughout the continued process. Keep checking back for updates!
God is good! All the time!
Until next time...

The Cruz-Diez Foundation is an organization committed to preserving, developing, exhibiting, and researching the artistic and conceptual legacy of Carlos Cruz-Diez, one of the twentieth century's seminal thinkers in the field of color.
We believe that the arts are the finest communication system ever invented by mankind. Our goal is to stimulate and nurture the kind of intellectual inquiry that leads to new forms of expression.

The Kleine Museum and the Cruz-Diez Foundation present the exhibition Carlos Cruz-Diez, Didaktik und Dialektik der Farbe (Carlos Cruz-Diez, Didactic and Dialectic of Color). This exhibition presents and conveys in a simple and comprehensible way the concepts of the artist on the chromatic phenomenon. Through a series of panels, the visitor can retrace, step by step, the origin and development of each of his plastic investigations.
Eminently didactic, the show was first presented in 1980, at Simón Bolívar University in Caracas, Venezuela. The intention was to pass on to young people the discoveries of his investigations into color, and to motivate them to detect the subtlest things in the midst of the colossal bombardment of information, images and forms of the contemporary world. Since then the show has travelled to many countries in Latin America and Europe
For more information: www.kleinesmuseum-weissenstadt.de
On April the 1st 2015, the Colour Group (GB) presented the Turner Medal Award to Carlos Cruz-Diez for his contribution to understandings of Colour through Art.
Every two years, alternating with the Newton Medal rewarding scientific contributions, the Colour Group (GB) presents the Turner Medal to a distinguished artist in recognition of their outstanding contribution towards understanding colour in the Visual arts. This year, for the 75th anniversary of the group, Carlos Cruz-Diez was honoured with the Turner Medal award 2015.
The exhibition Carlos Cruz-Diez: Circumstance and Ambiguity of Color is a pedagogical sample that evidences the artist's proposal: the AUTONOMOUS COLOR, as an ephemeral and evolving reality, devoid of symbolism.
With this video, listen to the artist speak about the importance of this pedagogical exhibition.
Virtual Tour of the Cruz-Diez retrospective
For those who missed the exhibition "Carlos Cruz-Diez: Color in Space and Time",
which remained for five months at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH),
the Foundation produced this virtual tour.
In 2011, The Cruz-Diez Foundation and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston,
presented a large-scale retrospective of Carlos Cruz-Diez to celebrate sixty years
of the artistic production of this central figure of contemporary art.
They joined forces to bring together more than 150 artworks, many of which
belong to the permanent collection of the Foundation.

Want to solve the federal government's deficit woes? The solution is quite straightforward. First, quit being the arrogant police of the world. No intervention unless we are attacked first.
This would allow us a drastic cutback in military spending, which would reconcile our debt over a relatively short amount of time. Next, withdraw from Germany, Japan, Korea and other countries. If they want our military presence and protection then they should be charged a fee. They should fund the "protection" we give.
Considering we are supposed to be a free-market, capitalistic society, let's act like one.

Soliciting ordinance change likely
Street solicitors and panhandlers in Henrico County are likely to be out of luck next month – again.
The county's Board of Supervisors Oct. 23 is expected to adopt changes to its no-soliciting ordinance that will close a loophole created the last time the ordinance was amended, in 2008.
The 2008 amendments made it illegal for anyone to distribute materials, solicit or sell (or attempt to sell) items while standing within any roadway or median in the county.
But it didn't prevent individuals from engaging in those activities while sitting or lying down in a median or roadway. New language to be considered by the board next month would make such activities illegal altogether and also would prohibit the sale or attempted sale of services in all medians and roads.
In recent months, the number of solicitors in Henrico has increased noticeably, particularly in well-traveled northern and western corridors including West Broad Street and Staples Mill Road.
Supervisors and police have received a number of complaints from citizens who object to being asked for money, but in most cases police officers are unable to write tickets to the offenders because they are sitting down.
During a work session Sept. 11, officials emphasized that while the proposed changes should reduce the public nuisance factor, they are designed foremost to make things safer.
Tuckahoe District Supervisor Pat O'Bannon recounted a recent experience of her own, during which she witnessed a car strike a median while making a turn, which caused a solicitor sitting in the median to jump up into a travel lane on the opposite side of the road.
"This is totally about safety," O'Bannon said of the proposed ordinance changes.
In 2011, police received 97 calls related to soliciting and made six arrests (including two of the same person), County Attorney Joe Rapisarda told the board. Already through the first eight months of this year, police have received 93 calls and made two arrests.
Individuals cited for violation of the ordinance face a maximum fine of $250. The ordinance does not impact activities on sidewalks, Rapisarda said.
Henrico Police Maj. Stephen Alloway told the board that one man who solicits at the West Broad Street-Pouncey Tract Road intersection in Short Pump made $60,000 through his efforts in a year.
Prior to the 2008 ordinance change, the county was only able to enforce its standards on county roads or at intersections that involved two or more county roads. It lacked the authority to enforce the ordinance on state roads (those with route numbers) in the county, or at intersections involving at least one state road.
But that year, Henrico won permission from the General Assembly to add state roads to the list of those on which it could enforce its ordinance.
Two years later, the General Assembly authorized all localities to adopt similar ordinances.
If the board adopts the new language, the revised ordinance would be effectively immediately, Rapisarda said.
More cyclists on the way
Riders to pass through county on East Coast Greenway tour
Citizen Staff Reports 10/02/2015
From October 4-9, 35 cyclists will be riding through Henrico County as part of a 325-mile tour of the East Coast Greenway (ECG) route from Fredericksburg, Virginia, to Raleigh, NC.

Henrico woman wins $1M in Va. Lottery game
Citizen Staff Reports 10/02/2015
When Amanda Spiller of Henrico saw that she'd won the $1 million prize in the Virginia Lottery's $100 Million Cash Extravaganza game, it didn't immediately sink in.
"I was in shock. . . complete shock," she said. "I had to double and triple check."
She bought the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven at 2750 Hungary Spring Road in Henrico. She had the choice of taking the full $1 million prize over 30 years or a one-time cash option of $681,000 before taxes. She chose the cash option. The store received a $10,000 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket. > Read more.

Reviews of Fort Worth Gas Line Install & Repair Pros
Fort Worth, TX
Called right away and were able to come out in a few days to turned gas pipe so my new gas stove would slide closer to the wall, turned my garbage disposal and hooked up my new dishwasher. Did a great job and a reasonable price. Although I am still waiting on my receipt to be emailed to me.
Fort Worth, TX
From start/finish the service was excellent. Put in the HA request & within 30 mins got a call. The "Salesman" was the Plumber (Bryon) and assessed the repairs and identified risks. The office (Stacie) called when he was going to be late or early. Estimate was 1/2 what the fancy truck plumbers gave and no up-sell. When I had questions about the repairs, Bryon or Stacie responded quickly with answers. During the repairs, Bryon arrived when he said, was courteous and gave frequent updates. AND - the repairs came on-time and under budget. Would recommend and will re-use them.
Fort Worth, TX
They did a great job helping me get a new gas line install and a new gas meter and running a line to a gas fireplace.

Handy Shelf
April 29, 2014
By using premade spindle rails and scrap lumber, I made some attractive spice/knickknack racks for the motorhome. Using a piece of paneling on the back of the rack makes for easier mounting. Will Garner | Grand Junction, Colo.
No More Shake 'N' Break
April 29, 2014
Having gone through various racks, and still having wine glasses jingle and turn over, I decided to make my own. I used two pieces of 2-by-4-inch lumber glued side by side (the length was determined by the glass size). Then I made a template by placing the wine glasses upside down and tracing... Read more »
March 25, 2014
I grew tired of a disorderly table that was littered with pens, TV remotes and travel literature. Nothing was commercially available, so I fashioned a receptacle for about $20. With some spare plywood, flexible carpeting and a little imagination, the result is a pleasing container to tidy up the... Read more »

Here is a great way to keep real wine glasses safe while traveling, as well as just storing. My husband mounted the rod portion of a fishing pole rack on the wall of one of our cupboards. Make sure the rack is flush against the mounting surface. It cost us approximately $15 from a local sporting... Read more »
Safer Knife Holder
March 3, 2014
We needed a place to store our knives and grater that would keep them sharp and our fingers safe from cuts. We fashioned custom holders and attached them securely to the side wall of our slideout pantry. They are out of the way and very accessible. When the pantry is secured, and the door... Read more »
Lighting the Way
February 26, 2014
We often return to our RV after dark, and fumbling for the light switch is a nuisance, even if we have a flashlight. We tried leaving a light on, but it attracts flying insects, and tends to deplete our batteries when boondocking. The obvious answer was a motion-activated light. We looked at several,... Read more »
Neat and Dry
January 27, 2014
I wanted a towel rack in my utility bay to keep towels neat and to have a place for them to dry. I was unable to find a rack at my local hardware store that did not interfere with the other components in the utility bay. I then came up with a solution using two small coat hooks and a bungee cord.... Read more »
Stationary Soap Dispenser
January 27, 2014
Rather than have soap bouncing around in the sink or taking up space on a shelf in my motorhome, I installed a countertop soap dispenser next to the kitchen sink. It is a simple matter of drilling a hole through the counter in accordance with the instructions on the package, but first make sure... Read more »
No More Shower Door Leaks
December 23, 2013
The seal on the bottom of my motorhome's shower door leaked. The small piece of plastic on the bottom of the door rubbed off and broke. I solved the problem by installing an RV rain gutter upside down. I attached it as close to the bottom as possible without rubbing the bottom frame. It works great.... Read more »
Out of Sight
December 23, 2013
We needed extra storage drawers in our motorhome, so I utilized the space under the sink in the galley. I removed the top shelf from the cabinet, mounted the drawers to the shelf and then reinstalled the shelf. The drawers are out of sight and it's a great place to store small items. I also added two... Read more »

Back To The Past With A DeLorean
Who doesn't love a DeLorean? »
Who doesn't love a DeLorean? »
Every so often you meet somebody that's driving their dream. Here are two. »
The DeLorean was known for a lot of things. Speed was not one of them. Underpowered even by early 1980s standards, it was a bizarre choice for a time machine that needed to hit 88 MPH to cross the temporal barrier. But could Doc Brown's car even go that fast in the Twin, er, Lone Pine Mall parking lot like it does in… »
The DeLoren DMC-12 has been dead since 1983, but that doesn't mean John DeLorean's dream is over. How could it be, when new cars are still available? »
Midnight. Los Angeles. An impossibly low and wide silver machine glides through the empty streets, the city lights reflecting off its stainless steel body as it looks less like a relic of the 1980s and more like an artifact from a future that never happened. »
Yesterday was John DeLorean's birthday. The man was a motoring icon for many reasons, though there's really only two things about him that anyone thinks of: cocaine and a certain time machine. I don't want to bring up the DMC-12 at all. Crap. I mean, not again. Let's focus on six other things DeLorean did. »
I've always had a sneaking suspicion that my life was incomplete, but I was never sure why until tonight. It's because I don't own a badass lifted DeLorean monster truck like Rich Weissensel does. »
This morning I gained intimate, carnal knowledge of a rare and majestic beast. Its name... DELOREAN. Here's the raw, uncensored up-close documentation of my experience. »
You knew a DeLorean was pretty much the best car you use for time travel, but did you realize the cars could be ordered with an OEM ski rack? This one looks pretty much perfect with a pair of Volant stainless steel skis strapped across the rear louvers. »
You all know it was a pile of crap for numerous reasons but that doesn't matter because shiny gullwing movie car, and also that Matt Farah owns possibly the best example in the world. Yet the DMC-12 is always worth a revisit. »
The guys at Regular Car Reviews think the DeLorean DMC-12 is a bit like Marilyn Monroe – everyone remembers and adores the Marilyn persona, but not nearly enough credit is given to Norma Jean. »
Your son loves DeLoreans. You, his mom, knows this. The world's best DeLorean show is in Ohio. Problem: You live in Russia. What do you do? You go to Ohio, introduce your son to Doc Brown, and reinforce your title as Russia's best mom. »
"It's like making out with a high school girlfriend and going for second base, only to suddenly realize — she isn't stopping you this time. Why isn't she stopping me? She always stops me." »
The DeLorean name is one of the most famous — and infamous — in the automotive world. DeLorean is so associated with his movie star car and his trial for cocaine trafficking that it's easy to forget what a remarkable engineer he was. Until you see something like these long-hidden sketches. Then it all makes sense. »
It has been 27 years and a week since I first saw a Delorean. On my 31st birthday, I decided it was time I bought one. A week after my 32nd birthday, I finally got to take her home. I know, Deloreans aren't fast. I know, Deloreans had sketchy build quality, the result of being built in Northern Ireland. I know, most… »
While the DeLorean Motor Company made one of the most beautiful cars of all time, with its DMC-12, the company itself was a bit more troubled. And for mentioning those troubles on air, ABC's new sitcom The Goldbergs has incurred the wrath of founder John DeLorean's daughter, Kathryn. »
It's always tragic when we have to report on one of our favorite cars burning to the ground, but this DeLorean fire is the saddest one I've seen in a good while. What the hell happened here? »
Ever since this weird Men's Wearhouse ad aired during the season premiere of "Breaking Bad," I haven't been able to get it out of my head. Not because of the bad '80s suit, but because of the car meant to reprsent the "millennial" generation. »
The DeLorean DMC-12, despite its "Back To The Future" buzz and scintillating stainless steel skin, never became the success some thought it destined for and the last to save it was mysteriously interrupted. Did the Reagan White House guide the British government to let the company die so it could entrap its creator… »
In 1985, when I was 4, my father brought home my first-ever car magazine. It was an issue of Car and Driver, and I must have "read" it cover-to-cover at least 100 times in the first week I had it. But I always spent more time on one page than any other: it was the page that had a full spread featuring a shiny,… »

|Reviews for Konoha: At His Fingertips
| kitiem3000 chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
That has to be the funniest way anyone has ever killed of Danzo.
| Slayer End chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
You know, this is really pleasant. I mean, it's nice. I think that a lot of people needed this chapter to help them keep going and it just brought a smile to my face. It's very... euphoric (is that the word I'm looking for?).
But now for the questions:
First off, Akatsuki is still a threat that needs to be dealt with. There's no way you're going to end the sequel to one of the best Naruto-fics on the site at five chapters. So, what IS your plan for the Red Dawn?
Second: After this series, what are your plans? When you're done with this version of Naruto are you going to do another version of Naruto? Or, maybe, are you going to do a crossover? What's next for MegaB?
Third: You left a lot of questions unanswered in the first part. I'm assuming you're going to answer them in this, right?
Fourth: Do you know how good it is to have you back?
Well, that's all I have to say. Later, man.
Forever Signed in Blood,
Slayer End
| urfan chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
while it was short, it was still quite funny with the anti-climactic death of Danzo and the rest was sweet and appropriate. In short, I still liked it just fine.
| XPGamer chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
For a moment I thought it was going to be someone waking up from a dream, since it all seemed kinda silly and left-fieldish.
Then it wasn't, so I no longer could, therefore I am.
| deadal chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
wasn't his dual Wakizashi some quite of mythical swords of the ten claws of juuby or something like that?
still a very good chapter, happy to see that story is not dead!
| Dragonking20 chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA, I LOVED how Danzo died, it Was AWSOME. While it was short you got it out MUCH sooner than usually. I don't really know how long this has been out as I've been working outside since 8 this morning and boy is it hot in Alabama. Not quite as humid as it was yesterday, praise the lord for that, but still a pretty good temp. for around here. Anyway once again you have a delivered an humorus and awsome update and can't wait for more. Now I've got three more story updates to read, a new edition of Gameinformer with info on DARKSIDERS 2, and an NCIS marathon to watch, the only thing that could make this day better is 'ding dong' for my pizza to get here,
| sertry chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
| WizardsGirl chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
Yay, an update! I love this series...BUT Would have been sad had you ended it before the Kage Meet. Wanna see their reactions to Naruto being the new Hokage of Konoha! Update again when you can, please!
Hugs & Kittens,
| sadistic lunatic chapter 4 . 6/29/2011
lived up to my expectations and more! i had to struggle to keep up my poker face when danzo died and naruto's "it's not my fault!" reaction!
still, news travels fast. can't wait to see what happens during the summit!
| Scissorman1985 chapter 3 . 6/26/2011
Update or I'll track you down and teach you the meaning of loss!
| Hayden Elrics chapter 3 . 6/10/2011
GO MegaB! woohoo!
happy for the update, in case you couldnt tell :)
| Tobi Fan 321 chapter 1 . 6/10/2011
Great chapter!
| Bluestelue chapter 3 . 6/7/2011
OMG! YES! A MILLION TIMES YES! I AM SO HAPPY THAT 'KASHI DIDN'T DIE! YAY! anyways. . . Your fic has almost no errors, except you misspelled Kakashi's name before he dug up Obito's grave. Other than that it's perfect! When you wrote the scene where Kakashi didn't feel really anything I wasn't really sure if you would allow him to live or not. . . BUT! It's ok now! Anyways. . . Great fic and i can't wait for the next chapter!
| Thoriyan chapter 3 . 6/4/2011
Hey, loving the development of characters, especially Kakashi in this chapter but also as a whole. Plotline is awesome. Curious to see if this heads in a more serious direction or not; new jaded Naruto seems to indicate deeper and more serious. Cheers, keep writing!
| Slyther88 chapter 3 . 6/1/2011
beautiful chapter, specially kakashi's part, really touching. thank you for writing this story :D

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

It had been a rainy autumn, so far, and when the weather report predicted a few days of sunshine, I planned to do some hiking before the rains settled in again. (more…)

It is no secret that much of the scenic allure of the Shenandoah Valley has to do with how its landscape and environment changes are so dramatically visual from season to season – but most so whenever Autumn arrives.
As days get shorter and cooler, you can always count on seeing more and more out-of-state plates on scenic byways and up on Skyline Drive, the world-famous Shenandoah National Park highway that meanders for miles and miles among spectacular Valley vistas and Blue Ridge Mountain peaks.
In fact, about 23 percent of the yearly number of Shenandoah National Park visitors arrive during the month of October, the same month that the annual fall foliage colors tend to be the brightest.
A portion of Skyline Drive traffic comes from the nearby Washington, D.C. - Baltimore area. And as increasing numbers of cars, motorcycles, campers, bicycles and joggers converge on a two-lane, limited access ribbon of winding road with a 35 m.p.h. speed limit, city escapees can often find themselves in the middle of the one thing they were trying to get away from back home: gridlock!
Autumn traffic congestion does exist on peak foliage days, but with a little bit of planning it's also something that can be avoided. First and foremost: Avoid the weekend crowds and plan to come during the week.
Then try heading in a direction from south to north on Skyline drive, instead of entering via the northernmost gateway, just off I-66 at Front Royal, Va.Read more...
Virginia's scenic Shenandoah Valley is a great place to visit during any season, but Autumn is extra special. World renown mountaintop vistas, countless Valley backroads with a myriad of visual experices. It's also a time for flavorful festivals, thrilling live performances and inspiring living history ... all set against a flaming backdrop of Fall colors and natural beauty.

The Moths Who Come in the Night to Drink Our Tears
always leave quenched,
though they're drinking,
in composition, seawater,
which does not make them insane as it does parched humans when we drink it, even with our big, big bodies.
If you knew a leper's tears do not contain the bacillus leprae,
would you let him weep on your chest?
Let the moths come, let the sandwoman and -man come,
let Morpheus and Dreamadum come unto me, and my beloveds,
let the moths come and drink of the disburdening waters.
—César Vallejo, Arago Clinic, Paris, Holy Friday,
April 15, 1938
It was you, César, they killed to the base of your forefinger, you.
Certainly they shot Pedro Rojas too.
No doubt Juana Vásquez was killed.
The killers, poor also, were skilled.
And Emilio, they shot him in the back of the neck after they made him kneel amid the wreck of his grandmother's house—they beat but did not kill her. The people, their hands and feet
(A cripple sleeps with his foot on his shoulder.
Shall I later talk about Picasso, of all people?),
these are the people you wrote for, César,
though your later poems, no longer lighted by the laser of your homeland, of Heraldos Negros or Trilce, were real enough for exile but not as true, licit.
Socialist realism, the aesthetic was called,
poetry force-marched—to diminish, equally, all.
It was not right for your mind and betrayed your heart.
Your countrymen and -women should bring you home, César.
Entombed in France is good enough for some,
but Peru should bring Peru's great poet home.
Jebus don't love me, oh.
Oh Jebus don't love me, no.
He never because I too slow.
The moon do love me, but it fall,
plash, way there in ocean where I see them small fishes who be, who be a ton
of teeth in my big eyes. So,
Jebus, let this tiny haminal go,
because I don't love you neither, no.

New Program coming September 2016
Thank you for your interest in the Civil Engineering Technology program. This program is currently under review and is being updated for the September 2016 intake. As a result, we are not currently accepting applications for the September 2016 intake at this time.
Anticipated changes include, but are not limited to, transition to delivery on a semester basis, updated program content and updated program admission requirements. The program website will be updated in full and we will begin accepting applications as program updates are finalized – anticipated for Summer 2015.
To indicate your interest in being notified once updated program information is available for the September 2016 intake, please fill out the Technology Program Interest Form and we will communicate with you directly once program updates have been finalized.
Planning, constructing and maintaining built and natural environments
If you look around any urban area, most of what you see is the result of Civil Engineering. Learn how to plan, construct, and maintain structures and public works, while respecting and responding to the natural environment.
In demand
Obtaining a Diploma in Civil Engineering Technology is one of the quickest paths to a rewarding and well-paying career. From the most remote village to the biggest cities, there is always a need for civil engineering – whether it be installing sewers, ensuring clean water, or supervising the construction of a major skyscraper.
Civil engineering technologists assist engineers in protecting human lives at the most basic level: water that doesn't carry disease, seismic upgrading, ensuring homes don't flood, and building roads that are safe to drive on.
Hands-on learning
Do you like looking at graphs? Do you enjoy disassembling things to see how they work or designing and building your own toys or gadgets? Our hands-on program will give you real world technical problem-solving abilities. Your abilities in design and computer software will be a desirable asset to you as you advance in the workforce.
You'll have the opportunity to gain valuable work experience and industry connections through our Co-operative Education and Internship programs.
Bridging the gap to UBC
After graduating with a Diploma in Civil Engineering Technology, you can apply to Camosun's Civil Engineering Bridge program.
The six-month bridge program leads directly into the third year of a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Civil Engineering at the University of British Columbia - Vancouver or the University of British Columbia - Okanagan.
Is Civil Engineering Technology right for you?
While trial and error may work when building your own marble run, it won't work if you're designing a bridge – the calculation of all the forces and stresses needs to occur before anything is built and these calculations require some pretty complex math. Furthermore, a much-overlooked talent necessary in engineering is communication. Drawings, reports, site meetings, instructions to contractors, even emails and phone conversations all require communication skills. The best engineers and technologists have skills in both areas.
As a Civil Engineering Technologist, you'll have the opportunity to work on:
- bridges, buildings, towers, silos and tunnels
- highways, roads, railroads, airports and canals
- protection of the environment and public health by treating water and sewage, and by protecting our streams and waterways from urban runoff
- structures and subdivisions
- infrastructure such as water supply, water mains, sewer mains and flood control

NEW YORK (AP) - Humble as ever, Mariano Rivera began his special day by paying tribute to a Hall of Famer.
The New York Yankees retired Rivera's No. 42 Sunday, and the great reliever honored Jackie Robinson during a ceremony in Yankee Stadium's Monument Park.
Robinson's No. 42 was retired throughout the major leagues in 1997 on the 50th anniversary of the day the Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman broke baseball's color barrier. Players wearing 42 at the time were grandfathered.
"It is a great pleasure and honor for me to be the last player to ever wear number 42," Rivera said during the 50-minute ceremonies before the last regular-season day home game of his 19-season career.
As Rivera stood nearby, Robinson's wife Rachel unveiled a plaque dedicated to Jackie. Then with his wife and three sons, Rivera uncovered his number _ changed from Robinson's Dodger Blue to Yankees navy _ that will be on display in Monument Park alongside the 15 other retired Yankees numbers, honoring 16 players and managers.
"We didn't have the finish of what I was looking for, but it was a great day," Rivera said after the Yankees' 2-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants dropped them four games back in the AL wild-card race.
"I didn't know what to feel, especially at the monument, where they had the number retired already _ I'm officially retired today," he added.
Before a sellout crowd, the Yankees staged a sort of "This is your baseball life" pageant for Rivera. Several of Rivera's former teammates were on hand, including Core Four member Jorge Posada, who in a role reversal threw a ceremonial first pitch that Rivera caught. Former manager Joe Torre also was on hand along with Gene Michael, the general manager at the time Rivera signed with the organization in 1990.
In a proclamation from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg that was read to the crowd, Sept. 22 was declared "Mariano Rivera Day."
"It was very nostalgic for me," Torre said. "When you bring everyone together, it conjures up all those memories."
After video highlights of a big league career that includes a record 652 saves, a recording of late Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard introduced Rivera.
Then the bullpen door swung open and the first chords of "Enter Sandman," rang out. Only this time the song that for more than a decade almost always indicated the end of the game for New York's opponent was being played live.
Metal icon "Metallica" performed their hit from a stage in center field, lead singer James Hetfield crying out, "For you Mariano."
Instead of jogging in from the bullpen, Rivera slowly walked to the infield.
Standing in front of the mound, many of Rivera's friends and family took photos and videos as the 13-time All-Star was given several long ovations and serenaded with chants of "Mar-i-ano!"

I try to live each day to the fullest. I aspire to be more than I am, and sometimes i do need a push. but doesn't everyone sometimes. Most recently I've been pretty stinking motivated. Its lovely.
I feel most at peace amongst nature, and those i trust most. I can take a little bit to open up to some one, however once I have opened up and am an open book.. With that being said, I do speak my mind, regularly.
I am all about sustainability and building bridges, people bridges, tree bridges and as sustainably as possible....but people are funny creatures.. so who knows how sustainable we all are.
City living has its perks, but I really want to live out in the country, I have some crazy fun ideas about how to make life out in the wilderness. I think I could live in the city, if my home was self sustaining, and I had a giant indoor garden.. well If the whole house/building was a garden. lol
I am def into guys, but I want to throw out there that I am pretty curious concerning ladies. Its my intention to meet people i jive with. And go from there... It says Im straight up there. def a little bi-curious, or lady-curious. So I am always into talking to laid back ladies... about possibilities.
I am not into drama, i value truth, tact and decorum for all the serious stuff in life. And outside of the serious stuff. I love to laugh, cook, camp, beach it up, and garden.
Music festivals are awesome, the vibe of the folks, music... grand. I love star gazing, cooking a good meal with good people, playing endless card games on cold stormy nights, and making smores, baking anything from scratch
if your still reading, thats great. carry on
