Depletion of the Ozone Layer
Man made chemicals, primarily chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), travel to the upper
atmosphere where they catalyze the breakdown of the protective ozone layer.
Scientists have warned that even if action is taken quickly enough, ozone depletion
can be reduced, but not reversed for at least 100 years.
Ozone is composed of three oxygen molecules (O3) is produced naturally by sunlight.
At ground level ozone is a pollutant, but in the upper stratosphere (a segment of
atmosphere extending approximately 9 miles to 30 miles above the earth's surface) it
forms a layer that protects the earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, and
rocks form outer space. Although ozone composes a small part of the atmosphere's
total mass, it absorbs more than 99% of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
In small doses, ultraviolet radiation can produce sunburn and has been shown to
cause skin cancer in laboratory animals. In greater amounts this radiation can "break
apart" important biological chemicals, including DNA. 1% depletion in the ozone layer
allows 2% more ultraviolet radiation to reach the earth's surface. Scientists predict
that this would raise the incidence of skin cancer by 4% to 5%.
Increased ultraviolet radiation will also cause an increase in cases of cataracts,
suppress human and animal immune systems, damage fish larvae, kill off
micro-organisms on the ocean floor that serve as food for larger marine life, give some
crops 'sunburn", decrease crop yield, and damage man made products such as paints
and plastic.
Chlorofluorocarbons CFC's have been shown to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
This would result in a partial melting of the ice caps, a rise in sea levels, and the
disruption of current weather patterns and the decline of agricultural productivity.
Scientists had measured the amounts of ozone layer for many years fearing it might
be damaged by man-made air pollution. Then suddenly, in 1985, British scientists
announced that they had discovered a thirty per cent decrease in the amount of
ozone over Halley Bay in the Antarctic. At first they could not believe their
Measurements - they had expected damage to occur slowly. Also satellite scientists
had told their computers to regard any very low readings as errors and therefore
missed the hole. The damage was so dramatic that scientists were extremely
CFC sources
CFCs are found in fridges, freezers and air conditioners and in some aerosol spray
and fire extinguishers. Plastic foams used for packaging and furniture can be made
with CFCs. In electronics factories, CFCs are used to clean the circuit boards that go
into televisions and computers. The CFCs then gradually drift up into the atmosphere

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), and chemicals like it, do not bond easily with other
chemicals. This makes them nontoxic and ideal for use in manufacturing processes.
Because CFCs are so unreactive, they do not decompose in the lower atmosphere as
most chemicals do. Instead, they travel up to the stratosphere where the ozone layer
exists. There they are broken down by ultraviolet radiation and release chlorine
atoms.…read more

Other Harmful Chemicals
In addition to CFCs, other chemicals have been shown to destroy the ozone layer.
These are methyl chloroform, halon 1211 and 1301, and carbon tetrachloride. Methyl
chloroform is used as a cleaner for electronic and metal parts. Halon 1211 and 1301
are used as fire extinguishing agents. Carbon tetrachloride is commonly used in
Europe, the Soviet Union and much of the third world as a solvent and is also used in
the U.S.…read more

atmosphere today than there was 200 years ago.

heats the interior.
Similarly the earth's atmosphere allows most of the sunlight that reaches it to pass
Through and heat the earth's surface. The earth sends the heat energy back into the
Atmosphere as infrared radiation. Much of this infrared radiation does not pass freely
Into space, because certain gases in the atmosphere absorb it.…read more

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson reunite in The Internship. After the hilarity of Wedding Crashers, many fans will flock to the theaters to see the comedic team back in action as they take on Google. Some will be pleased, some will be disappointed, but everyone will be fidgeting in their seats during this lengthy dramedy.
Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, they defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete with a group of the nation's most elite, tech-savvy geniuses to prove that necessity really is the mother of re-invention. ~(c) Fox
If you've seen Wedding Crashers, then you have an idea of what to expect out of this PG-13 flick. The framework of the movies are incredibly similar: Owen and Vince are a slick duo working on a con (in this case, getting jobs at Google), Owen needs reassurance from Vince to stick with it, Owen falls in love, Vince starts feeling left out and leaves, Owen convinces him to come back, and the bromance continues to a happy ending. Unlike Wedding Crashers, the humor of The Internship is a little more grown up. Vaughn and Wilson have left their usual raunchy shock-jokes in favor of 'fish out of water' humor. Both the characters and actors play up their Generation X roots, trying to convince the audience that two forty-something-year-old salesmen could fall out of touch with modern technology, and drum up a few laughs as they are thrown to twenty-something-year-old-tech-savvy-hipster wolves. The overage heroes are clueless when it comes to technology and almost everything else—Billy's main cultural referent is Flashdance—but they are still able to give the kids what the film frames as life lessons: cheerful banalities about teamwork, true love, belief in one's self and the courage to dream.
At 119 minutes, the laughs are a bit spaced out and the fatigue begins to set in halfway through the film. One scene in a strip club is unnecessarily drawn out in an effort to show Billy and Nick's ability to rally their intern teammates and teach them how to live unconnected lives. The audience quickly realizes it's just a tactic to beef up the running time. Why did director Shawn Levy think a two-hour dramedy was necessary? I have no idea. The characters – both main and supporting – have a hard time developing the way they ought to. These are characters who've been pulled from the cliché cut-outs book, ranging from socially crippled savants to the racy virgin feigning worldliness.
Regardless of the lackluster characters, the slightly implausible plot, and the overbearing feeling of being in a 2 hour Google commercial, there is a fair amount of fun to be had in The Internship. More than the laughs, the movie's insistent sincerity is what shines brightest. These are not the smarmy frat-boys who've dominated the comic marquis for the past two decades; these are two grown men who are roughly adaptable, capable of some humility, and find humor in the gap between Generations X and Y.

Comments about Adriane Hunt
Who Really Cares
So you loved me all along
You tell me with words after you're gone
Separate lives, lovers
Bored entertaining "the others"
Scared and depressed
But I must confess
Your something beautiful
Is only an illusion
Young and sweet
It's hidden when we meet
Cries of innocence
Love lost, it makes sense
I rewind all this in my mind
Things that die before its time
Color me blue
My sky seems gray
It rejects me today (but who really cares)

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Free-For-All Archives' started by GraceSaves, Oct 28, 2003.
For what reason do you primarily come to this particular section of the Baptist Board?
I was just curious to learn if there are differing motives for why we post on this board. I would greatly appreciate it if you would expound a little after voting!
As for myself, I honestly post here to share my faith with others so that they can gain a better understanding of it. This is my primary purpose. My goal is not to convert, but to inform, although every once in a while I do seek to understand concepts from the other faiths present, which greatly helps me, because I can't stand knowing that I've been "preaching" something that is false (i.e., I used to believe that Lutherans teach and believe in consubstantiation, but I now know this to be false).
It depends. Some times I post to point out different points of view and why I disagree with what someone writes. Some times I post to work out an idea that just hit me. Some times I post to rebuke out and out herecy.
What Church do you go to Eladar? I have trouble figuring out what you believe.
You do have a gift to annoy people. And a lot of free time.
Sorry to offend.
I attend Church of Christ, but was raised Lutheran. My beliefs are not defined by where I go to church.
I am sorry! None of the answers worked for me!
:-( But I come here to learn from others. I am
mainly here on days when I am not feeling very
good and need to just be still. However, I cannot
just be completely still!
A few years ago, I left a very abusive church, and
I have a way to go before I get a complete under-
standing of what "normal" churches teach. While I
do not attend a church, I do understand that those
in churches are my sisters and brothers in the
Lord. I enjoy their thoughts.
I only read certain things, though, and avoid cer-
tain others. As a teen, however, I learned the art
of separating the person from the idea, so that I
can enjoy that one in a different capacity even
when they seem abrasive in another. I have
needed this art lately.
Well, first I was just asked to visit. After reading the posts, I thought I'd stick around and see just what other churches believe.
I'll have to say that I'm a little surprised at some things and in shock about others.
I've started to leave several times, but curiousity gets the best of me.
BTW, I still haven't figured out this three person Trinity belief.
Maybe if I stay, someone will be able to explain it.
Still waiting,
MEE (Carol )
This could be said for anyone who posts here.
That's OK, the spirit within you will lead you to the truth that it wants you to find.
Just know that others disagree with your point of view. That should be enough.
From what I can tell, you've got problems you need to work out which can't be done on the internet.
Because I'm not willing to lie in order to be allowed to post on other parts of the board.
Yelsew! You've thought that, too? I have often
thought that I am far more qualified to post on the
Baptist sections than are certain others! But I have
been wrong before! :-D
Here are a few verses:
Hebrews 1:8, "But of the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom."
John 10:27-33, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. "I and the Father are one." The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."
Isaiah 9:6,7, "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this."
These are all descriptions of Jesus who was the messiah to come. Wonderful Counselor is a name given to the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 7:14, ""Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
In Hebrew "im" means with. "Anu" is the first person plural ending to a wordwhich menas us. El means God. Translated means "God with us."
A Nave's Topical Bible can help you a lot with these kinds of questions as well.
Hi Grant, It's hard to pin point why I come. Sometimes to correct obvious biblical error, sometimes to learn, sometimes because it is a kind of a national/international Christian fellowship. I have really enjoyed speaking with several people here as well. You, Grant, being one of them. When I first posted with you I thought you were in your 60's. To find out you were in college blew me away, which is another reason I come, to find out more about people. On this board we kind of learn about eachother from the inside out, instead of in life where it is more from the outside in. Hope that makes some sense.
In Christ,
Hi Carol Long time no see, hope you are well!!!
Hello to you too Brian! Been missing you, as well as the other Brian. (ONENESS)
I've been here almost everyday....just don't post much anymore.
That's OK, the spirit within you will lead you to the truth that it wants you to find.
Just know that others disagree with your point of view. That should be enough. </font>[/QUOTE]Eladar, I know what the doctrine of "One God" consists of...I just can't get anyone to show me how "HE" consists of *three persons.*
Also, just because someone doesn't agree with my point of view doesn't make me wrong.
I believe in "One God" and He isn't made up of..three persons.
Just to keep this on the subject, this is one of the reasons that I post on this board.
And you were a confirmed Lutheran! But I know what you mean. I once opined that Baptists were Nestorian herectics. Three Baptists quickly rebuked me. This forum affords an opportunity to correct honest misunderstandings.
And you were a confirmed Lutheran! But I know what you mean. I once opined that Baptists were Nestorian herectics. Three Baptists quickly rebuked me. This forum affords an opportunity to correct honest misunderstandings. </font>[/QUOTE]Yes, I was a confirmed Lutheran, under a very orthodox Lutheran pastor (so much so that many people didn't like him, because they had gotten used to not-so-orthodox pastors. I'm pretty sure (though not positive) that consubstantiation was never used in my instruction, but from what I was taught, it seemed to fit very nicely. The difference in definitions is EXTREMELY minor, even if the implication is greatly different. You must admit this; its why people confuse it so much.
And don't worry, John. There are plenty of Catholic misconceptions we still need to clean up with ya.
I choose #1. But in general it is to interact with non-catholics, correcting there misconceptions with the hope of planting seeds that down the road will bear fruit. To that degree #3 is okay but I expect to convert noone for Paul planted, Apolos watered, and God made it grow.
In the process of the interaction my faith is deepened in my Catholic understanding of scriptures and I thank non-catholics for challenging me in my faith.
Blessings to all.

My random thoughts or when I think out loud are written and published right away. I am always grateful for the feedback. 🌼🌻🌹03/12/2016 #23 Laura MikolaitisThose are some amazing thoughts @Donna-Luisa Eversley. I like the concept of living incomplete because it leaves the door open for new opportunities and challenges. There is so much waiting for us out there when we choose to seek it.
Being ever evolving enables us to continue to broaden the depths of who we are, and that's a gift really. I really enjoyed reading this and I am so glad to see you writing again my friend!02/12/2016 #22 Alan CullerThanks @Donna-Luisa Eversley for sharing your thoughts. I especially like the 'never stop growing point' - the absence of growth is death -life is about learning and loving. My father was asked at 95 the secret of a long life -he smiled and said "Just keep breathing." :-)
Thanks again.

We breathe. It´s all complete. And there can be never completeness for one hunger satisfied gets replaced with more hunger.
Yeah ... you´re a limited edition and a precious one. I like you attitude towards life and love a lot, my dear friend.01/12/2016 #19 Lisa 🐝 GallagherGreat attitude @Donna-Luisa Eversley, we are all incomplete! When we stop learning, helping, giving- well we stop living. I think we all have days we feel stagnant or may even stagnate temporarily and for me, it's recognizing those times and stepping back up to the plate. Very inspiring Donna and maybe we all need to push each other once in a while if another is withdrawing. We never know another's circumstances, it always helps to know we have others that care because we can't always be 'all that' for everyone. Sometimes we need an extra hug, someone to listen etc... I'm glad I saw you on facebook or I would have reached out to you on here, I would have been very worried about you, my friend. Thank you for this, you have a way of working through things, whatever they may be and coming back with a fervor.01/12/2016 #18 Deb 🐝 Helfrich"Life is a paradox of balance." Feeling at peace with our past and full of hope for our future is the way to stay blissfully present to the sorrows and joys of being alive right now. Every minute we can figure out how to balance in the present brings us more fully alive.
The right now is unlimited, @Donna-Luisa Eversley.

I am in full alignment with your thoughts - we are imperfect beings and yet we strive to improve. You captured this so wisely in our looking for those "perfect opportunities to meet my imperfection,". And this process is ongoing - never completed. Bravissimo ! Sharing in Sanctuary hive & on twitter!01/12/2016 #11 Fatima Williams#1 Love this buzz @Donna-Luisa Eversley Yes by being incomplete we keep on addling to ourselves. I stand with you on this by saying let me be incomplete I don't need people pushing me to be complete. I love my imperfect incomplete self.
Christmas greetings everyone. I'm feeling all Christmassy since it turned December.🤗🤗🤗⛤🤗🤗🤗01/12/2016 #9 Jesse AngelesDonna,
I love this! The idea rings so true and for so many. In my line of work I see so many that believe that expanding their knowledge involves time which they do not have. The scarcity mentality that robs those of a richer life. Abundance of knowledge is a great life for me.

This is great advice for academic researchers because storytelling has the power to capture audience attention arguably more so than traditional academic methods of communicating. Everyone loves a good story and should learn how to leverage storytelling to their professional advantage. For example, I've got a good story about a prominent academic researcher/writer and professor of materials science whom I like referring to as, "The Beautiful Mind of Belgrade." Perhaps you know of him?16/12/2016 #1 Anonymous

I pray one day there is more tolerance than not. I believe it begins in the home by means of action not talk. However, hate talk doesn't help. Kids are so resilient and impressionable at such an early age, maybe there should be mandatory workshops from Kindergarten -4th grade to help remove prejudices and/or stop prejudice in its tracks. No one deserves to be treated differently or in a mean manner because of their skin color, ethnicity, religion and on the list goes. The song was moving too @pascal!11/12/2016 #13 Pamela 🐝 WilliamsThe reality of this story is what makes it so heart wrenching. When will we learn to love each other, when will the color of our skin, our accents, our different orientations take a back seat to our humanity. Beautifully written Pascal. Thank you10/12/2016 #12 Neil SmithThe date is irrelevant here Pascal. This is life for someone now. We seem to have reached a time when people find it all too easy to point the finger. When cowardly, politicians try to find a gentler way of passing on the message of the real bastards without questioning whether the message is acceptable or true no matter the form of words used. I feel like I am living through a time that will be looked back on with some shame and embarrassment.10/12/2016 #11 Deb🐝 Lange@Pascal your post is so well written, so provocative, I hope it reaches a wide audience. and knowing that we know what you have said, I do hope actions are taken to allow different groups to come together, to build trust, to share stories, to build bridges of understanding. we can affect the. U.K. tire we live in with intentional community building. If you need facilitators to help with projects such as this, reach out, I have specialised in ways to help people build trust and connect face to face.

Well, I use it because it fits. And so it does for your story @Pascal Derrien. Important story, very well told.09/12/2016 #6 Pascal Derrien#3 wow @Dean Owen that's a story an half, I have been saying many times I think people only understand what it is to be a foreigner until they actually become one.... and even there, there is a pecking order. Many thanks for sharing that story09/12/2016 #5 Pascal Derrien#4 agree with you @Jim Murray , this could happen easily today in Ireland and I have been getting a lot of flack for my positions, the policy makers love to gesticulate and are spoofing on daily basis but action is nowhere to be seen, we are going to hit a wall soon (no pun intended)09/12/2016 #4 Jim MurrayI live next door to a country that has just opened up the floodgates to exactly what you wrote about. It's not speculative fiction anymore Pascal. It's reportage.09/12/2016 #3 Dean OwenI think many of us can relate to some part of this story. For me it was the peer pressure bit. I was on a bullet train last week when I asked a Chinese man to not talk so loud on the phone. He started screaming at me. The train police came and he continued. They just filmed everything. Then another Chinese man started talking to the train police and said I was right, the guy was too loud, and I was brave for taking a stance. The guy who defended me started getting kicked by three Chinese guys for defending a foreigner. It was all a bit weird. I'd thank the guy for not bowing to peer pressure, but the police had to usher him off for protection....08/12/2016 #2 Pascal Derrien#1 thanks @Ken Boddie indeed and even though I have situated this story 10 years or so from now it is based on a bit of stories, daily observations and quotes from the last three weeks that I have merely sewed together :-( :-)08/12/2016 #1 Ken BoddieGreat story, Pascal, of social stigma, bias, peer pressure and how we can let these control our lives if we let them.

My husband got along well with his adoptive parents so it worked well for him.30/11/2016 #17 Pascal Derrien#16 many thanks @Franci🐝Eugenia Hoffman yes I was thinking about all the adoption stories without a happy ending the other day, what if people don't click, what if it is too late or what if the research never takes off as you are rightly saying......30/11/2016 #16 Franci🐝Eugenia HoffmanYou are one excellent story teller, Pascal. My husband was adopted out of the cradle. He never found his real parents, even after researching.29/11/2016 #15 Pascal Derrien#14 thank you @David B. Grinberg for the kind comments, a tale not very often touched on so I suppose it is a modest cotribution .....29/11/2016 #14 David B. GrinbergThat's a wonderfully introspective piece of storytelling, Pascal. Very admirable and impressive, indeed. Thank you for sharing this and keep buzzing!28/11/2016 #13 Pascal Derrien#12 thanks for sharing this @Mark Anthony, those generations of babies are often referred to as ''the disappeared'', the numbers are not exactly known but most probably around 30 000 over the years of cover up. Big stigma here in Ireland. Take care28/11/2016 #12 Mark AnthonyHi @Pascal Derrien. Touched by the story, my mother came to the UK when she was 11. She was in a convent in Dublin from when she was a baby. There was no redress for her, she missed the cutoff point. The legacy left within my family wasn't nice.28/11/2016 #11 Pascal Derrien#9 ah thanks for the kind comment and for dropping a line @Sara Jacobovici I know a few real adoption stories some are positive and some others are.....different. There are some extra layers of complexity depending where you live and the circumstances it is a tricky topic28/11/2016 #10 Pascal Derrien#7 thanks @Deb 🐝 Helfrich you turn right or left where does this bring you ? it is a fascinating question to think that in a way we are building our own lives even though we are not fully in control , so may scenarios so many possibilities ?28/11/2016 #9 Sara JacoboviciI very much appreciate your writing @Pascal Derrien. I experience the question of identity as the core of what makes us human. My very close friend is adopted and so is her younger brother. As adults each had their own journey in discovering their biological parents, very different experiences, very different impacts. Each carries their own story. Thanks for sharing Owen Carlson's.28/11/2016 #8 Sara Jacobovici#1 Great line @Ken Boddie, "Is there Mars in our lives?"28/11/2016 #7 Deb 🐝 HelfrichPhenomenally deep questions right on the surface of life, @Pascal Derrien. Are we our nature or our nurture? As an adult, what is the margin of difference that might have played out in who we are and have become if we had a different set of parents? If we do find out does that change us tomorrow? With no one to consult about the facts, is it worth thinking of the alternative us? How could we not?28/11/2016 #6 Pascal Derrien#5 thanks @Gert Scholtz there is always more than just meet the eyes, face value has been over traded and it is currently out of stock for the foreseeable future :-)28/11/2016 #5 Gert Scholtz@Pascal Derrien Fascinating!

Comments15/11/2016 #24 Pamela 🐝 WilliamsThanks one of my very nice writers😊! I'm so glad you like the story. It's been a both fun and challenging! @Paul Walters was the other one! What is it with me and Pauls lately! @Paul "Pablo" Croubalian has been such an inspiration to me for social media and now you two writing rock stars IMHO! #2315/11/2016 #23 Paul KemnerWow- this series is an excellent first fiction! Writing serial stories seems to be a great way to get started- you get feedback and encouragement as you go along, and it's a lot easier to get someone to try a short chapter instead of something that will take weeks to read.
I agree with you that the female warrior and high-elder words would be the ones to keep- they describe important characters. You're using them frequently, so we get a chance to learn them.15/11/2016 #22 Pamela 🐝 Williams#21 I always thought I would love to get an actual Passamaquody tribal member to teach me how to say the words. On the site where I found the words there are pronunciations available, but even still they are extremely difficult to verbalize. You never know exactly how they sound things out. Like German. I sometimes find myself reverting to German pronunciations of certain words that I can tell are of German origin. No I don't speak German but I took so many German grammar classes the pronunciations come easily if the vocabulary does not.!!15/11/2016 #21 Deb 🐝 Helfrich#20 That's one of those things that someone will either love or hate. I thought it brought so much of the world alive, and you used the parentheses at just the right time. But for a larger audience, I can see it being a stumbling block...there has to be a both/and situation of using the words as enrichment while keeping the readers in the flow of the story. Audio comes to mind..... a short clip of how to say the words might help the sounders-outers in the crowd, for instance.15/11/2016 #20 Pamela 🐝 Williams#19 If I do a rewrite and expand the story I've decided, with the help of some very nice writers whom I turned to for advice, to simplify the use of the words, but there are some I'll keep just because I liked them! Like the word for the high elder and the female warrior. They seemed add 'punch' to the characters. and roles.15/11/2016 #19 Deb 🐝 Helfrich#15 I did want to report back that I both am glad I binge read the first 9 installments, because it really built a world for me, but that my initial reason, to be able to follow the complex use of names, turned out to not be an issue. You did a great job in keeping the flow of all the new terms easy to remember without the reader needing to generate their own cliff notes.15/11/2016 #18 Pamela 🐝 Williams#13 I'm thinking about it Pascal! This has gone so well I'm almost afraid that since this one went so well, anything else might be a disappointment LOL!15/11/2016 #17 Pamela 🐝 Williams#12 Well I sent you on a roller coaster ride of emotions on this journey @Donna-Luisa Eversley, I'm so glad it ended with a happy sigh for you. So, how are you feeling about Running Deer now? Go ahead, admit it, maybe we all have the potential to be a bit mean when our heart is broken. We're human, all of us, we all say and do things we wish we could take back. It's about finding the strength to move on, just one step forward.15/11/2016 #16 Pamela 🐝 Williams#14 I thought hard about the ending, even as I was writing the other chapters. I wanted it to end realistically; we all suffer losses and sometimes sacrifices have to be made to move forward in life. As I wrote in my reply to Franci; it ended with hope and dreams for the future. You've been a wonderful fan Fatima! thank you for that, my readers gave me the courage to finish the story.15/11/2016 #15 Pamela 🐝 Williams#11 thank you Deb, those words mean so much. I've enjoyed writing this so much but I especially loved my wonderfully loyal readers who have been such an encouragement.14/11/2016 #14 Fatima WilliamsOMG @Pamela 🐝 Williams I love the ending and it's a perfect end for this drama. I would have loved for them to have met to rekindle the love they had, which was blinded by guilt and revenge nevertheless I love it. Thank you so much for giving us such an entertaining engrossing story that connects to each one of us at a different level.

GrinbergVery nice fiction writing, Pamela, impressive!13/11/2016 #7 Lisa 🐝 Gallagher#6 I think I understand your mushy self a bit! Remember, dont lose hope . Its easy to let go of hope when things feel as though they are crumbling around us, thats when we need others as reminders or 'pick me uppers'.. no not drugs (referring to my phrase, uppers') lol, just ways to uplift our spirits!13/11/2016 #6 Pamela 🐝 Williams#4 I'm going to show my mushy self again and admit that I was sitting in my favorite coffee shop downtown and cried as I wrote the last few paragraphs of this story. Whether they were tears of happiness that Kisuhs Nicanol and Running Deer found peace or tears of sadness because she had to leave all that she knew is still a question I'm asking myself. What I liked most about the ending was that the high elder, a true leader, was willing to make the sacrifice of banishing his wife if Kisuhs Nicanol chose to stay, that he also realized that if the young warrior was to live life to the fullest she had to make the decision to simply live. As I told you on the phone; I don't understand where this story came from, or why I was driven to write it, but I know it wasn't mine. Live in Peace and Hope my friend.13/11/2016 #5 Pamela 🐝 Williams#3 As I told Deb in a comment; not what I would call a 'happy ending' but the best ending that could occur. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the betterment of everyone. She now has family and hope, and in the end, isn't that what matters? That after all the trials and tribulations that we all suffer, that there is in the end; hope?

Comments12/11/2016 #71 Pamela 🐝 Williams#63 Sweet memories; my stepfather loved Jameson and always kept a bottle on hand. I learned to 'mix' his drinks by the time I was 10. (that would be Jameson on the rocks, not a difficult drink to make, but I still remember; it was 3 ice cubes, and two shot glasses of whisky, swirl to chill :-) ). He let me take a sip one time, that's all it took for a 10-year-old! It tasted nothing like the Iced Tea I expected!! But I still remember the hearty laugh my facial expression received. Now I love an occasional whisky on the rocks; I think it's a nostalgia thing.11/11/2016 #70 Pamela 🐝 WilliamsYou ain't just whistling Dixie!!!

I've made wine for years. Tried beer a few times, but I'm not really a fan.11/11/2016 #66 Aaron Skogen#65 I do try to stay on the right side of the law Paul. So to your point, I would need to obtain a micro-distillery permit from the state of Minnesota (for a nominal fee) :-) I've actually thought about it. . . I was looking to expand my home-brewing into a micro-brewery (NV Brewing™) a few years back after receiving several awards including a Sweepstakes award for my Black IPA, Diabla Negra. Whiskey would be a nice addition to the portfolio, IMHO. Plus, I could then use Buddy Guy's tune as our theme song!11/11/2016 #65 Paul "Pablo" Croubalian#64 LOL... and highly illegal, not to mention dangerous11/11/2016 #64 Aaron Skogen#60 :-) now your talkin'!

I was prepared, I spent high school and college in Colorado. My husband? Not so much. I have to say that my first winter after buying our little Subaru Outback Sport was pretty fun with the studded snow tires. We park behind our house, off an alley. The snow was well above the bumper and I backed right out, no problem at all. The trick to surviving that kind of winter? Lots of Irish whiskey. Love this.08/11/2016 #59 🐝 Frans van WamelMy hernia hurts, s(t)ung by disbelief. Gobnait's mother is bewildered Paul.

Great post @Paul "Pablo" Croubalian. Growing up in Northern NY I could relate. We had some pretty harsh winters - and they still do. I can remember snow banks as high as the street signs.

Phil Friedman06/11/2016Two Pizzas and a ShovelTHEY SHOVEL A LOT OF THINGS IN CHICAGO, BUT NEVER BULL CHIPS...The more things change, the more they remain the same...At least, that's the way it is in Chicago.I was born, raised, and lived there until I was an adult. Right in the inner city. First...
Comments08/11/2016 #46 Aurorasa SimaHahahaha .... and we all know from your video that your wife owns a taser and is not afraid to use it. Also safer for the delivery guy (and the guy with the shovel)
Yummy. I also often make my own pizza (beside dough) .. On anything tomato sauce I like basil and oregano.
Yeah, the quality of the cheese makes half of the pizza.
When I still ate meat:
- Ground beef, onions, jalapenos and corn
Now MOST favorite
- No tomato sauce but: Garlic, serrano pepper, feta, black olives, grilled red pepper
I like my pizza to remind me that I am still alive. Serrano pepper does that.08/11/2016 #45 Phil Friedman#44 Yes re anchovies, Aurorasa. I make pizza at home for my family. I use Boboli pre-baked pizza crusts, add my own sauce (spaghetti sauce with a couple of pinches of sugar to kill the acidic after taste) and the best mozzarella cheese I can find. Piles of it. Add chopped onions, and topped cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with a mixture of Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Bake 15 minutes in preheated oven at 450 degrees F. Better than just about anything you can get in a restaurant, with not much more effort that baking a frozen pre-made. The piece de resistance are the addition of flat anchovy fillets in olive oil.
But my wife and daughters won't let me put them on until after the pizza is baked. And even then they make me keep the anchovies in a glass container, and add them only to MY pizza as I eat it piece by piece. Not only that, but they make me sit at the den coffee table, while they sit at the country kitchen breakfast counter. Living in a household full of women is not easy.08/11/2016 #44 Aurorasa Sima#38 Good trick to keep Pizza safe. The taste and smell sticks, even if you remove the anchovies.
I´d love to hear more stories about your teenage years, I believe it was an interesting time in a quite unique place.
Growing up in Germany is what I love about Germany so much: Normal, liberal, boring and safe. Nothing much to talk about.08/11/2016 #43 Aurorasa Sima#39 I´ll throw in some history (besides old Egypt it´s the only bit of history I know. Pizza and Pyramids, maybe a bit Indians)
Etruscans (800 - 100 before Christ (hope that translates) have known something very similar to Pizza. It can´t be tracked down to a single region.
Assyrians were baking Lahmacun as early as 2000 before Christ.
The existence of the first Italian style pizza is estimated to be since the middle of the 18th century.
To my knowledge, the dough was medium thick (more thin than thick) and as you said pizza was a poor man´s food and they threw on top of it leftovers.
Chicago, if you say the Italian community I trust you, seems to be the inventor of the Deep Dish.08/11/2016 #42 Phil Friedman#41 Interesting thing, Paul, is that most people who spend some time in Chicago think it's a much friendlier big city than NYC. It's hard for me to be objective, as I was born and raised, and so feel comfortable in Chicago. Although for a long time now I've considered Toronto (and Canada) my spiritual home. Thanks for reading and commenting.08/11/2016 #41 Paul Walters@Phil Friedman methinks a pamphlet explaining snow etiquette and parking rules should be given out on arrival! Scary people in Chicago!08/11/2016 #40 Aurorasa Sima#39 I´ll reply in a second. Can´t focus, need to throw a Connie´s in the oven first08/11/2016 #39 Phil Friedman#37 PS - Of course, pizza in traditional Italian homes was always "deep dish" because it was made with the left-over dough from baking bread. Being leavened, it rose to a thick crust.08/11/2016 #38 Phil Friedman#37 Okay, Aurorasa, let's set the history books straight. When I was very young, growing up on west Roosevelt Road, pizza was available at bars and a few "pizza joints". It was all thin crust (pre- Uno and Due), and available in only three versions: plain cheese, cheese with Italian sausage, and cheese with anchovies. I took up eating anchovy pizza as a teenager. Almost all of my close friends were strapping big football players. When we went out for pizza, they would devour entire extra, extra large pies before I could finish one piece. But once I started having my "share" topped with anchovies, my share was always there, waiting for me, no matter that I ate a lot slower than they did. Hunger is the mutha of invention. :-)08/11/2016 #37 Aurorasa Sima#35 Hahaha, a happy mood jingle. I´d totally order one (if they have thin crust).
#36 Ok, that makes sense. I did not think about that.08/11/2016 #36 Phil Friedman#34 Aurorasa, having grown up in Chicago, I knew there was no way any police were coming out in that storm to deal with an "old guy" whose car was stuck in the snow. For once they got out there, if it turned out I really was stuck in the snow and blocking traffic, they would have been bound to stay with the situation until a tow truck arrived, and that would likely have been several hours.08/11/2016 #35 Phil Friedman#32 #33 Thanks, Wayne, for reading and commenting. With regard to the telephone number for Pizza, Pizza, the real interest in that it is probably one of the most successful national marketing campaigns ever. The jingle was "Nine six seven, eleven eleven. Call Pizza, Pizza." https://youtu.be/uEXbdWQ-_UI08/11/2016 #34 Aurorasa Sima#32 Chicago cops are really scary. I would not want to stand there with a shovel if they get called in snowy weather.08/11/2016 #33 Wayne Yoshida#13 So I had to Google the number. are they related to Little Cesar's in the USA?08/11/2016 #32 Wayne YoshidaExcellent story Phil. Now I know why you live in Florida. There are several morals here. Like the keep shoveling while talking thing. By the time the cops arrive, you'd be done, and issue solved. Patience and perseverance. . . The art of negotiation - Buy the pizzas plus a tip. . . and the consequences between a couple pizzas and a shovel . . .
I lived in Mammoth Lakes for a year (ski town), and I don't think they (we) did the chair thing to mark one's parking space. However, I do know how important a shovel is in snow country. I was really pissed when my shovel disappeared from my front porch one early morning. Turns out my neighbor borrowed it to get his car out of the driveway. . . and left it at the parking space. . .
How about this one: I met a co-worker who grew up in Sunny So. Calif. and never traveled very far from home. We went on a business trip to Boston during the winter for a couple of days. Our rental car had a snow brush/ice scraper on the front seat. He thought it was a back-scratcher. Funny true story!07/11/2016 #31 Phil Friedman#30 yep, Andy, you did read this before in a W4W discussion on LinkedIn. And actually you were the person who encouraged me to share the story as a post. I commented on your piece on The Good Man Project --- totally trashed the post. Naw, just kidding. Solid post that everyone should read. My best to you.07/11/2016 #30 Andrew Books#1 You dare write about snow? What the hell, Phil.....are you trying to depress me? What's next....a reminder how the Bears beat the Packers last year? Friggin' Floridians...:)
I know I've read this before, so good to see it here. Remember when we used tyo see snow like this in November? I know it's not PC, but I think global warming is good for Wisconsin. Just saying....
Best to you!07/11/2016 #29 Phil Friedman#28 It is true, Richard, that snow storms leave many who park on the streets to their own devices. I have to say that, on the whole, Chicagoans are a pretty decent lot when required to work through the dislocations created by storms. For example, while this small "incident" was going on, at least a couple dozen people came to turn onto the street, saw what I was trying to deal with, and simply took another route around the stoppage. Thanks for reading and commenting.07/11/2016 #28 Richard Buse@Phil Friedman. Thanks for sharing. Oh, the joys of locating and securing a place to park in a crowded northern urban area after snow has amassed. I lived in Milwaukee for 41 years. The city government was proficient at quickly and thoroughly plowing streets, but that efficiency hinged on adherence to winter parking restrictions that greatly reduced the number of available parking spots.. Winter parking rules were enforced and violators faced fines, towing fees and vehicle impound fees.07/11/2016 #27 Michele Williams#25 Lol! I reveal too much. I guess this is what happens when you combine the personal and professional on social media. I must say I am now very pleased to own a shovel and have my morning coffee in a beBee mug.

Which must be some sort of recommendation --- for Jesse's writing, that is....
Comments29/10/2016 #31 Phil Friedman#24 Jim, please know that I am sincerely touched by your sacrifice, for I know that you are a seriously dedicated baseball fan.
I agree that something might be lost in translation in my exchange with Maria, which is why I began, I believe, in a light vein. Unfortunately, I have found --- and you all can, if you want to, lay this off onto having a "negative" outlook on life --- that a high percentage of professed Messengers of Lightness and Positive Energy have a dark component that emerges when they meet what they see as the slightest bit of resistance or rejection. I lay this off to them actually being posers, whose out-flowing love is only a facade that covers their core desire for bringing attention to themselves. For I believe that a true proponent of positive energy and love would meet perceived negativism with even more love, or at the very least with indifference. I think I remember a Jew named Jesus once telling people that.
Thank you, as well, for noticing the metaphor that runs through the story. I was starting to think that the whole thing was simply too obscurely written, and that I should go back to writing exclusively about boat building and the marine industry. And your comment has at least encouraged me not to give up --- yet. I think.
I hope that by now, you've returned to your game, and enjoyed the rest of your evening. Satisfied that you sent some genuine positive energy my way. Cheers!29/10/2016 #28 Phil Friedman#25 Actually, Milos, my current photo strikes more people as a WTF? expression --- which is appropriate. :-)29/10/2016 #27 Phil Friedman#26 Milos, you are just afraid that one of my old friends back in Chicago will skewer you with some lift truck forks. Not to worry, once I became an academic, I also became civilized. :-)29/10/2016 #25 Anonymous#24 @Jim Murray, Perhaps the problem is related with his "grumpy" face? :) It is generally known fact that the face is the most important in social media. Unfortunately, I am unlucky, since I am not only grumpy face, but also very ugly. Perhaps Image of happy and carefree face will dispel negative magic and provide eternal unity and harmony. Then we'll all become demigods I'm clueless or something.. Mr No-Muzak, my friend, forever.29/10/2016 #24 Jim MurrayOK I just sacrificed a whole inning of the baseball game to read your posts and all the comments including the pigeon English comments of Maria with the Three Last Names and I cannot, and you know I have several brain cells to rub together, figure out what her problem is. My only conclusion is that she is from an alternative universe where everything is groovy all the time, and that through some malfunctioning black hole, has landed on your post with marching orders to try and fuck you up.
What she does not know is that you are unfuckup-able, and social media is littered with the intellectual corpses of all those who have tried to do that to you. There's even a small part of me on that trail.
I got the metaphor that your story represented. And I'm sure a few others did too. But in all deference, you sorta kinda have to have a writer's intellect to put it together. People who cannot, but have an inkling that it might be something metaphorical, can end up being frustrated. I get that way when I try to remember that Jeff Daniels is Jeff Daniels, and not just half of the Dumb and Dumber duo.
If this Maria person reads English as poorly as she writes it, there may be something or a lotta things lost in translation. beBee should add that feature once we make them big and powerful. Then everybody will be able to live in the same universe.28/10/2016 #23 jesse kaellis#20

I am not, however, worried, as I have a good friend in the Caribbean, who is an Obeah Woman; and she has protected me with spells and amulets from bad thoughts and wishes from self-proclaimed Angles of Goodness and Light. I reiterate, have a good life. May our paths never again cross.28/10/2016 #20 Phil Friedman@ @jesse kaellis --- You and your work are mentioned at the beginning of this post.

Pamela 🐝 Williams23/10/2016The Shifting Tide - Episode 9Welcome to the continuing fictional saga about the life of a young female Indian warrior. This is the next to the last episode and I hope this will explain a lot of what has occurred in the other episodes. As I have written at the beginning...
Comments03/11/2016 #35 Maria Teresa Redondo InfantesHallo Mrs Pamela ..I am sorry not remenber you me?27/10/2016 #34 Pamela 🐝 Williams#30 Stay tuned Deb. Although I wouldn't call it a happy ending, life is set right, as best it can in the circumstances under which my characters have been placed. Life is full of lessons, we are all tested and we all fail, but sometimes we don't, sometimes we find the path we can take and find peace, with ourselves, with others. "Give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference". My brother kept this posted on his refrigerator for decades, it was given to him at an AA meeting. The Serenity Prayer. When he passed it was the one thing I insisted be on his marker: Granted Serenity, along with a picture of his cat of course..25/10/2016 #33 Lisa 🐝 Gallagher#21 cant wait!25/10/2016 #31 Fatima WilliamsDear @Pamela 🐝 Williams this was very emotional and a nail-biter to read. I started reading with a smile and all the characters fell into place and I was still wondering why Running deer hated Nicanol after reading the birth part of the episode. Towards the end I was thinking OMG what is this stubborn child going to do and as I wanted my guesses to be wrong . They were not only right but also claimed two lives instead of what I thought as one.
The loss of a loved one can create such negative feelings and behavior especially when the death is not natural and man-made. I now see why she is treated this way and wonder if Running deer will ever understand that Nicanol has realized the consequences of her action.
Brilliant fantabulous story writing. This one will definitely never cease from my memory.
#Youareawesome #Lovedit #PamelaRocks :)25/10/2016 #30 Deb 🐝 Helfrich#25 That's what we get in real life. The current imperfect amalgamation of many, many past actions and thoughts. Almost all of which will stay hidden...
But, of course, the question is - even when meanness is justified in some sense by a prior interaction - is it acceptable?
I have held grudges for things unable to be uttered in the same sentence as losing a child. And it is inevitable that there will be individuals who we struggle to get along with - but the poisoning of the clan/community that is an entirely different level of grudge and perhaps one to really be alert for. One person rarely has much of a chance against systemic injustice.25/10/2016 #28 Pamela 🐝 Williams#26 That's very nice Maria. thank you for sharing with me.25/10/2016 #25 Pamela 🐝 Williams#18 Ah, so you kept them in reverse timeline! Do you see now why that makes sense? To me it had to be written that way, you had to think about the characters and their actions until this episode and everything fell into place. To me it imbued the story with raw emotion.25/10/2016 #24 Pamela 🐝 Williams#20 those are some beautiful quotes Maria. Thank you for sharing.25/10/2016 #23 Pamela 🐝 Williams#5 I actually tire myself out once I start writing, I can't stop. I sat in a coffee shop Saturday, working on the story and before I knew it four hours had passed. They kicked me out because they wanted to close so I went to one of my favorite diners, had a Western Omelet and worked for another hour. I think I got a bit obsessed. You think?25/10/2016 #22 Pamela 🐝 Williams#7 Thank you Chas, that means a lot to me. I reread it, which is a mistake I always find things I want to fix and change but this came to me as is so I'm going to restrain myself and let it be.25/10/2016 #21 Pamela 🐝 Williams#8 thank you my friend! It was really hard to write. I got attached to my characters. I want to eventually do a Prequel and tell the full story of Friend of the Wolf and Morning Dove. Something is telling me that needs to come first. When I finish the final chapter you'll see that. Yes, it's already in my head. Wish I could write it as fast as the story comes to me. I could write a novel in a weekend. :-)25/10/2016 #19 Pamela 🐝 Williams#10 I warned you Donna-Louisa, things weren't as the seemed. Tell me, do you perhaps feel a little compassion for Running Deer now? Grief and Loss can change a person and she lost a lot.25/10/2016 #18 Deb 🐝 Helfrich#15 It is a definite absolutely love filled set of wows. I am glad I waited in order to read them together. I actually thought I would finish them last night, but I decided to let the first five sink in. I hoped you would be able to see the pattern in my relevanting. I didn't even want to scroll and see any comments my first time through. Excited for the finale!!!25/10/2016 #17 Pamela 🐝 Williams#11 Thank you for reading Maria! I hope you enjoyed the story. No, not Pocahontas, but I loved the Disney Movie :-)25/10/2016 #16 Pamela 🐝 Williams#9 #14 that's very flattering Pascal and Franci. I don't know if I have the fortitude to write a novel, thought I'll admit its been a dream. I've really enjoyed writing this story and it's definitely uplifting to read such kind comments.25/10/2016 #15 Pamela 🐝 Williams#12 So you liked the stories Deb? You didn't make that clear :-) I saw as you went through each one. I'll have to try that myself. though when I do I see the grammar errors!25/10/2016 #14 Franci🐝Eugenia Hoffman#9 Yes, I feel the same way, Pascal.24/10/2016 #13 Pamela 🐝 WilliamsThanks all, on the phone, will reply more later. Time for the commute24/10/2016 #12 Deb 🐝 HelfrichWow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Did I mention that these stories are wow-worthy?24/10/2016 #10 Donna-Luisa EversleyOmg...@Pamela 🐝 Williams...omg...how could you let this tragedy happen. My heart hurts.. o dear...quite riveting. Very well written😥

jesse kaellis03/10/2016Driving a cab in South Central You gonna pay! I got laid off my job as an apprentice pipe fitter. I was working in Castaic. This was past Magic Mountain and College of the Canyons. Up around that way. I was doing erosion control along the Castaic River. I didn't mind...

TonyTony Delorto Unfollow22/10/2016 #12 jesse kaellisI'm a much better driver now, Donna-Luisa. I'm never impaired for one thing. When you pick up certain kinds of traffic violations you can reduce the points by going to traffic school. You still have to pay for school but the points are removed from your driving record.
Every time the instructor would walk into the room he would look at me and do a double take. Because I was in there every year. You can only do traffic school once a year or I would have been in there twice a year. Or more.
One time, this was in California, I'm in traffic school, this is after I moved away from Vegas and was working as a process server -- anyhow the instructor asks, "Has anybody here ever been in an accident." "I have, lot's of them." There is a hush over the room. A kid asks me, "Which way are you goint when you're leaving here?"22/10/2016 #11 Donna-Luisa Eversley@jesse kaellis..hahaha, I don't want to see you on any road behind a steering wheel😁...wow, you sure know how to laugh at your weaknesses.
Totally enjoyed this memory shared...😊21/10/2016 #10 jesse kaellisThanking these people for the relevants.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't tailor a story to external input. There is no percentage in that, and by rights, it would never end. I did it this time as an experiment. It took me all of two minutes -- or less.03/10/2016 #8 jesse kaellis#7
The real takeaway is that I am a lousy driver and I should have remembered that. It's not like I didn't know. You don't ever blow through a stale yellow light because when I hit the Hyundai the light was red. I was driving too fast and at the moment that I hit the light my computer started flashing and I looked down. Bad news altogether.03/10/2016 #7 Charlie Accetta#5 The story ends when you say it does. It doesn't have to end chronologically if you have something more to say about it.03/10/2016 #6 jesse kaellis#4
I'll try to tie it up a bit, Charlie.03/10/2016 #5 jesse kaellis#4
Thank you, Charlie. The ending has to stand because that IS the ending. I think I went back to school and took bakery. And ended up managing a small wholesale bakery. I posted a story about that before. The reflection? There isn't any easy money in LA, and if you don't have credentials you are going to end up scratching for a living at the bottom where there is plenty of competition.03/10/2016 #4 Charlie AccettaThe story is great. The voice is awesome. It would win awards, if only it had an ending worthy of the rest of it, even if it is just a reflection.03/10/2016 #3 jesse kaellis#2
Thanks, John. I figure the cab deal would have brought in about $30,000 a year. But you HAVE to put in 12 hours a day, so it's like having a full-time and a part-time job. As I said, a hard dollar. I can see burning out on it. I talked to one longtime driver who routinely slept four hours a night. Between shifts.
In the three days, that I drove I got a lot of women who were taking groceries home. I'd help carry the bags in. What the hell. Short trips for a two dollar tip. They didn't have any money; they were on welfare. I never picked up one person who wasn't black, although it was only three days. I had one young lady taking me here there and everywhere. I took what money she had at the end. It wasn't enough to cover the meter.
LA would be far different from driving in a compact city like NY.03/10/2016 #2 John White, MBA@jesse kaellis: anytime, I really enjoy your posts. They are unique.03/10/2016 #1 jesse kaellisThank you, John. Thank you, Milos.
