Entry 0419: Reflections on the 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time
by Pope Francis (Updated)
On three occasions during his pontificate, Pope Francis has delivered reflections on the 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time, on 18 August 2013, 17 August 2014, and 16 August 2015. Here are the texts of two brief addresses prior to the recitation of the Angelus and a homily delivered on these occasions.
Saint Peter's Square, Sunday, 18 August 2013
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning!
In today's liturgy we listen to these words from the Letter to the Hebrews: "Let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith" (Heb 12:1-2). We must give special emphasis to this affirmation in this Year of Faith. Let us too, throughout this Year, keep our gaze fixed on Jesus because faith, which is our "yes" to the filial relationship with God, comes from him, comes from Jesus. He is the only mediator of this relationship between us and our Father who is in heaven. Jesus is the Son and we are sons in him.
This Sunday, however, the word of God also contains a word of Jesus which alarms us and must be explained, for otherwise it could give rise to misunderstanding. Jesus says to his disciples: "Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division" (Lk 12:51). What does this mean? It means that faith is not a decorative or ornamental element; living faith does not mean decorating life with a little religion, as if it were a cake and we were decorating it with cream. No, this is not faith. Faith means choosing God as the criterion and basis of life, and God is not empty, God is not neutral, God is always positive, God is love, and love is positive! After Jesus has come into the world it is impossible to act as if we do not know God, or as if he were something that is abstract, empty, a purely nominal reference. No, God has a real face, he has a name: God is mercy, God is faithfulness, he is life which is given to us all. For this reason Jesus says "I came to bring division." It is not that Jesus wishes to split people up. On the contrary Jesus is our peace, he is our reconciliation! But this peace is not the peace of the tomb, it is not neutrality, Jesus does not bring neutrality, this peace is not a compromise at all costs. Following Jesus entails giving up evil and selfishness and choosing good, truth and justice, even when this demands sacrifice and the renunciation of our own interests. And this indeed divides; as we know, it even cuts the closest ties. However, be careful: it is not Jesus who creates division! He establishes the criterion: whether to live for ourselves or to live for God and for others; to be served or to serve; to obey one's own ego or to obey God. It is in this sense that Jesus is a "sign that is spoken against" (Lk 2:34).
This word of the Gospel does not therefore authorize the use of force to spread the faith. It is exactly the opposite: the Christian's real force is the force of truth and of love, which involves renouncing all forms of violence. Faith and violence are incompatible! Instead, faith and strength go together. Christians are not violent; they are strong. And with what kind of strength? That of meekness, the strength of meekness, the strength of love.
Dear friends, even among Jesus' relatives there were some who at a certain point did not share his way of life and preaching, as the Gospel tells us (see Mk 3:20-21). His Mother, however, always followed him faithfully, keeping the eyes of her heart fixed on Jesus, the Son of the Most High, and on his mystery. And in the end, thanks to Mary's faith, Jesus' relatives became part of the first Christian community (see Acts 1:14). Let us ask Mary to help us too to keep our gaze firmly fixed on Jesus and to follow him always, even when it costs what it may.
ON THE OCCASION OF THE 6th ASIAN YOUTH DAY
Dear Young Friends,
The glory of the martyrs shines upon you! These words—a part of the theme of the Sixth Asian Youth Day—console and strengthen us all. Young people of
Asia: you are the heirs of a great testimony, a precious witness to Christ. He is the light of the world; he is the light of our lives! The martyrs of Korea—and innumerable others throughout Asia—handed over their bodies to their persecutors; to us they have handed on a perennial witness that the light of Christ's truth dispels all darkness, and the love of Christ is gloriously triumphant. With the certainty of his victory over death, and our participation in it, we can face the challenge of Christian discipleship today, in our own circumstances and time.
The words which we have just reflected upon are a consolation. The other part of this Day's theme—Asian Youth! Wake up!—speaks to you of a duty, a responsibility. Let us consider for a moment each of these words.
First, the word "Asian." You have gathered here in
Korea from all parts of Asia. Each of you has a unique place and context where you are called to reflect God's love. The Asian continent, imbued with rich philosophical and religious traditions, remains a great frontier for your testimony to Christ, "the way, and the truth and the life" (Jn 14:6). As young people not only in Asia, but also as sons and daughters of this great continent, you have a right and a duty to take full part in the life of your societies. Do not be afraid to bring the wisdom of faith to every aspect of social life!
As Asians too, you see and love, from within, all that is beautiful, noble and true in your cultures and traditions. Yet as Christians, you also know that the Gospel has the power to purify, elevate and perfect this heritage. Through the presence of the Holy Spirit given you in Baptism and sealed within you at Confirmation, and in union with your pastors, you can appreciate the many positive values of the diverse Asian cultures. You are also able to discern what is incompatible with your Catholic faith, what is contrary to the life of grace bestowed in Baptism, and what aspects of contemporary culture are sinful, corrupt, and lead to death.
Returning to the theme of this Day, let us reflect on a second word: "Youth." You and your friends are filled with the optimism, energy and good will which are so characteristic of this period of life. Let Christ turn your natural optimism into Christian hope, your energy into moral virtue, your good will into genuine self-sacrificing love! This is the path you are called to take. This is the path to overcoming all that threatens hope, virtue and love in your lives and in your culture. In this way your youth will be a gift to Jesus and to the world.
As young Christians, whether you are workers or students, whether you have already begun a career or have answered the call to marriage, religious life or the priesthood, you are not only a part of the future of the Church; you are also a necessary and beloved part of the Church's present! You are Church's present! Keep close to one another, draw ever closer to God, and with your bishops and priests spend these years in building a holier, more missionary and humble Church, a holier, more missionary and humble Church, a Church which loves and worships God by seeking to serve the poor, the lonely, the infirm and the marginalized.
In your Christian lives, you will find many occasions that will tempt you, like the disciples in today's Gospel, to push away the stranger, the needy, the poor and the broken-hearted. It is these people especially who repeat the cry of the woman of the Gospel: "Lord, help me!" The Canaanite woman's plea is the cry of everyone who searches for love, acceptance, and friendship with Christ. It is the cry of so many people in our anonymous cities, the cry of so many of your own contemporaries, and the cry of all those martyrs who even today suffer persecution and death for the name of Jesus: "Lord, help me!" It is often a cry which rises from our own hearts as well: "Lord, help me!" Let us respond, not like those who push away people who make demands on us, as if serving the needy gets in the way of our being close to the Lord. No! We are to be like Christ, who responds to every plea for his help with love, mercy and compassion.
Finally, the third part of this Day's theme—"Wake up!"—This word speaks of a responsibility which the Lord gives you. It is the duty to be vigilant, not to allow the pressures, the temptations and the sins of ourselves or others to dull our sensitivity to the beauty of holiness, to the joy of the Gospel. Today's responsorial psalm invites us constantly to "be glad and sing for joy." No one who sleeps can sing, dance or rejoice. I don't like to see young people who are sleeping. No! Wake up! Go! Go Forward! Dear young people, "God, our God, has blessed us!" (Ps 67:6); from him we have "received mercy" (Rom 11:30). Assured of God's love, go out to the world so that, "by the mercy shown to you," they—your friends, co-workers, neighbors, countrymen, everyone on this great continent—"may now receive the mercy of God" (see Rom 11:31). It is by his mercy that we are saved.
Dear young people of
Asia, it is my hope that, in union with Christ and the Church, you will take up this path, which will surely bring you much joy. Now, as we approach the table of the Eucharist, let us turn to our Mother Mary, who brought Jesus to the world. Yes, Mother Mary, we long to have Jesus; in your maternal affection help us to bring him to others, to serve him faithfully, and to honor him in every time and place, in this country and throughout Asia. Amen.
Asian youth, wake up!
Saint Peter's Square, Sunday, 16 August 2015
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning!
These Sundays the Liturgy is offering us, from the Gospel according to John, Jesus' discourse on the Bread of Life, which He himself is, just as the Sacrament of the Eucharist is. Today's passage (Jn 6:51-58) presents the final part of this discussion, and refers to several of those who were scandalized because Jesus said: "he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (Jn 6:54). The listeners' astonishment is understandable; Jesus in fact uses the typical manner of the prophets to provoke questions in people—and also in us—and, ultimately, to provoke a decision. First of all, regarding the questions: what is meant by "eat the flesh and drink the blood" of Jesus? Is it just an image, a figure of speech, a symbol, or does it indicate something real? In order to answer, one must divine what is happening in Jesus' heart as he breaks the bread for the hungry crowd. Knowing that he will have to die on the cross for us, Jesus identifies himself with that bread broken and shared, and it becomes for him the "sign" of the Sacrifice that awaits him. This process culminates in the Last Supper, where the bread and wine truly become his Body and his Blood. It is the Eucharist, which Jesus leaves us with a specific purpose: that we may become one with Him. Indeed he says: "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" (v. 56). That "abiding:" Jesus in us and we in Jesus. Communion is assimilation: partaking of Him, we become as He is. This requires our "yes," our adherence of faith.
Regarding the Holy Mass, one sometimes hears this objection: "Of what use is Mass? I go to Church when I feel like it, and I pray better in solitude." But the Eucharist is not a private prayer or a beautiful spiritual exercise, it is not a simple commemoration of what Jesus did at the Last Supper. We say, in order to fully understand, that the Eucharist is "a remembrance," that is, a gesture which renders real and present the event of Jesus' death and resurrection: the bread really is his Body given up for us, the wine really is his Blood poured out for us.
The Eucharist is Jesus himself who gives himself entirely to us. Nourishing ourselves of Him and abiding in Him through Eucharistic Communion, if we do so with faith, transforms our life, transforms it into a gift to God and to our brothers and sisters. Nourishing ourselves of that "Bread of Life" means entering into harmony with the heart of Christ, assimilating his choices, his thoughts, his behavior. It means entering into a dynamism of love and becoming people of peace, people of forgiveness, of reconciliation, of sharing in solidarity. The very things that Jesus did.
Jesus concludes his discourse with these words: "he who eats this bread will live for ever" (Jn 6:58). Yes, living in real communion with Jesus on this earth lets us pass from death to life. Heaven begins precisely in this communion with Jesus.

comScore today released new data from the comScore MobiLens service, which comprehensively chronicles key trends in the U.S. smartphone industry. The latest report covers the three month average period ending May 2013. And the findings are very favorable toward Apple.
Apple ranked as the top smartphone manufacturer with a 39 percent OEM market share (vs. Samsung's 23%) as of the end of May 2013. HTC was third with 8.7 percent, followed by Motorola with 7.8 percent and LG with 6.7 percent.
Unfortunately, Google's Android continues to lead as the #1 smartphone platform with a 52% platform market share. Apple's iOS, however, is hanging tough at 39% (and the gap continues to narrow).
MobiLens data is derived from an intelligent online survey of a nationally representative sample of mobile subscribers age 13 and older. Data on mobile phone usage refers to a respondents primary mobile phone and does not include data related to a respondents secondary device.

Grandma's Feather Bed
In May of this year we sold our house and moved from Raleigh, NC to Austin, TX. The move was part of a larger plan and also the fulfillment of our wish to become more flexible and free ourselves of home ownership for a while.
Part of selling and moving is going through years of belongings and deciding what to keep, what to donate, recycle or send to the landfill.
After living in the house for seven years, our attic was filled with boxes, old clothes, holiday decorations, backpacking gear, old rugs, records, old files and more. Some of those boxes never saw the light of the sun since I taped them shut 7 years earlier. Inside many of the boxes were old items from my 20s and even my childhood.
As I was going through the items and had to make a "keep it or toss it" decision, I realized something surprising about myself: I am not at all emotionally or sentimentally attached to stuff. I keep stuff usually because I don't want to make a decision to throw it away.
It almost scared me how much I didn't care about the stuff. High school yearbook? Don't care (but I kept it anyway, see bullets below). Wooden wall clock I made myself in 8th grade? I was proud of it at the time but I don't care.
So, how did I decide what to toss? I tried to ask myself questions like these:
- Does this item currently create happiness for me and my family?
- Could this item create happiness for me and my family in the future?
- Is it something that my daughter would cherish when she's older?
For most of the stuff I came across in the attic, the answer was no. It's all been tucked away in a dark, hot attic for years. None of that stuff creates or will ever create happiness. You don't typically love the stuff you neglect. One of the exceptions were two boxes of 12 inch records. Those have brought happiness in the past and will continue to do so (once I set up my turntable).
I've been thinking about this topic ever since watching the last box (and my car) loaded onto a moving truck. But this post from J. Eddie Smith reminded me again how much I just don't care about the old stuff I don't use. Self-storage is a 20 billion dollar per year industry and "has been the fastest growing segment of the commercial real estate industry over the last 30 years." Americans spend 20 billion storing stuff we don't use. Stuff we think we care about it.
I suspect that a lot of this storage results from the tough situation of inheriting furniture and other goods that are family heirlooms. That's a nice way of saying "someone else's junk just became yours."
Last Fall before our daughter was born we needed to empty some space to make room. I donated three pieces of furniture that were part of our family: my maternal grandfather's rocking chair, my paternal grandfather's desk he used in his cedar-paneled basement office (it was a roll-top desk that had the roll-top removed and was worthless, not to mention worn out) and a TV cabinet that I designed and built with my father.
To prevent any family issues, I cleared getting rid of the first two items with my parents. The third one, the TV cabinet I built with my dad in the woodworking shop in his garage in North Carolina, was tougher. While emptying it out, I found the initial sketch I made on a page from a pocket notebook for the piece taped inside the bottom cabinet. I made it as a gift for my wife for our first apartment in North Carolina. I was proud of it and it wasn't a half bad piece of furniture. But I didn't need to hold onto the TV cabinet–lugging it halfway across the country–to have the memory of building it with my dad and gifting it to my wife.
My take, however, isn't universally accepted in our household.
"What about the memories?" she asks.
Those memories are still in my head in exact details and I don't need the wood, paint, casters and hinges to make the memory any more vivid than it already is. After all, we don't expect to take home the entire beach after a memorable summer vacation.

The European Commission has deemed green olives from Halkidiki in northern Greece as products with protected designation of origin (PDO), it was announced on Thursday. Halkidiki is known for producing large green olives that have a high nutritional value. Local producers have been trying for some time to gain the PDO status for their products.
The law ensures that only products genuinely originating in that region are allowed to be identified as such. Its aim is to protect the reputation of the regional foods, promote rural and agricultural activity, help producers obtain a premium price for their authentic products, and eliminate the unfair competition and misleading of consumers by non-genuine products, which may be of inferior quality or of different flavour.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #142- Sentiment
Hello, the new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers starts today and the lovely Jackie is the host for this challenge. Jackie has chosen Sentiments as this fortnight's theme.
For my card I have stamped some flowers stamps from a Autumn Leaves stamp set with Versamark ink and embossed them with some 'Crystal' embossing powder from Stampendous. I then painted the background and flowers with Spectrum Aqua Markers.
I then created the frame with some Spellbinders dies and black card. The sentiment is from Hobby Art and had been stamped with black Archival ink onto the middle of the water coloured panel and stuck back in place underneath the frame.
I hope you like my inspiration for this fortnight's challenge and please stop by my fellow DT's blogs to check out the wonderful projects.

Tea Cups and Roses
Hi, today I have a little paper Tea Cup to share with you. This project was inspired by the new challenge over at Try it on Tuesday. I had lot of trouble with taking the photo for this and I am sorry to say this was the best I could achieve. My camera doesn't seem to like glitter glue for some reason.
For the Cup and Saucer I used my Silhouette to cut out the shapes and the paper layers, which are from K and Company. I edged the paper pieces with 'Brushed Corduroy' Distress Ink and glued in place. I then added a coat of Artiste Glitter Varnish over the top to add a sheen and make it feel more like porcelain than paper.
The roses I made by hand using some Artista Superlight Clay and coloured them with some decorating chalks in pink and yellow. I then added some Stickles glitter glue and allowed them to dry.
The leaves were made by stamping an old wood mounted stamp that I have had for a while, but it doesn't have any writing on, so I don't know who's company it is from. I stamped the leaves with 'Rich Cocoa' Memento ink and coloured them with 'Peeled Paint' Distress Ink. I then cut them out and glued them to the back of the clay roses, before attaching them around the Cup.
I finished my Tea Cup with a sentiment form Hobby Art's 'Birthday Collection' stamp set and filled the cup with some Tea Bags.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenge: Try it on Tuesday- Tea Cups
I hope you like my Cup and thanks for taking the time to visit.

Birdsong Notebook
Hello, today I have a Notebook I have made to share with you. I have used the 'Birdsong' stamp set from Hobby Art for the birds and branches. The birds were stamped with 'Tuxedo Black' Memento ink onto white card, then coloured with my Copic markers. The branches however were stamped onto a piece of cardboard that I had painted with a coat of white Gesso. I then cut around the branches and painted them with watercolours.
The background papers are from my all time favourite paper pad, K & Company's 'Que Sera Sera'. The pink layer was originally red, so I covered it with some white Gesso to tone it down. I also added a watered down layer of Gesso to the top blue layer. I added a layer of white card, which I had painted with Gold Acrylic paint and made a couple of tears, before attaching all the layers together with some stitching.
I added some swirl, ink splatter and ring stamps and also some 'Shabby White' Embossing Enamel to the background. The brickwork was added using some homemade texture paste and a stencil from Dutch Doobadoo. I then added some colour to the bricks with watercolour paints.
The frame was made by sticking three frames together that I had cut from thin cardboard using some Crafts- Too dies. I then added some white Acrylic paint, Glitter Varnish and Gold gilding wax, until I achieved a porcelain type effect. The 'Notes' text was hand written.
The flowers were made using a Tonic punch and have been coloured with a Copic marker and added some gold Perfect Pearls for the centres. I finished by gently spritzing some Gold mica spray over the cover to add some more shimmer here and there.
I would like to enter this Notebook into the following challenge: Love To Scrap!- Anything Goes
I hope you like my Notebook and thanks for taking the time to visit.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #141- For A Man Or Boy
Hello, today sees the start of a new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers and more. This fortnights host is Vania and she would like to see your creations for a Man or Boy.
For my card I chose to make a card for someone to give to their Handyman Father. I started my card by making the tools, and for this I used the 'Tool' mask by That Special Touch. I used the mask to draw through and cut out the tools. I then inked the tool shapes with Versamark ink and heat embossed with silver powder. I then traced the tool shapes again with a fine liner and added some hand drawn details to them, before colouring them with Copics. I then cut out the detailed parts of the tools and overlaid them on top of the embossed ones before adding some Glossy Accents.
The sheet metal effect background was made by running some black card through the 'Heavy Duty' embossing folder from Couture Creations. I then covered the whole surface with some silver gilding wax. My wax had started to dry up in the tub, so I added a tiny amount of Spectrum Noir Pencil Blending Solution, which revitalized the wax. I also found that this made the was blend more evenly over the surface of the card too.
The brickwork layer was made with a stencil from Dutch Doobadoo and some of Pamellia Johnson's homemade texture paste. I then coloured this with some water colour paints.
The woodwork was made with PVA glue, 'Brushed Corduroy' and Walnut Stain' Distress inks and an EB7 Spectrum Noir marker I then cut the panel into strips and added to the card in different lengths to achieve a patched look. I also used a silver gel pen to add the effect of small nails.
The stencils Dad was done with the 'Schoolhouse Alphabet' by Tim Holtz, a Ranger embossing pen and some Black Distress embossing powder onto some more brick background. I then cut out around the brick and layered onto the card with 3D Foam.
The stamped sentiment is from Hobby Art's 'Sentiments' clear stamp set.
I hope you like my interpretation of this fortnights theme and please stop by my fellow Team mates blogs to check out their gorgeous projects.
I would also like to enter this card into the following challenge: Anything But Cute- Make It Masculine

Monochromatic Father's Day
Hello, today I have a Fathers Day card to share with you. I don't really make any Father's Day cards, I think this being only the second one I have ever made. I didn't want an overly fussy sentiment so I opted just to stamp Dad in the corner.
The main image stamp is from an A5 stamp sheet by Kanban 'By The Sea' and has been stamped with Black Archival Ink and water coloured gently with 'Black Soot' Distress Ink. I then added some Glossy Accents to the water, lighthouse and Sun. I then used two Spellbinders Nesting dies to cut out the image and frame. The main image is raised on 3D Foam.
The backing paper was made by stamping the compass and anchor stamps that also come on the Kanban stamp sheet. I also used a swirly flourish stamp that is from Inkadinkado and a script stamp that was from a stamp sheet I bought from my local supermarket and all were stamped with Black Archival Ink. I also heat embossed a flourish design over the background using clear Versamark Ink, Pearl Stampendous Embossing Powder and the Flourish mask from Tim Holtz.
The flowers have been made by using a matching set of stamps and dies from Prickley Pear. I stamped the flowers, which have a nautical pattern on them, then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I added some black Perfect Pearls to the centres and some leaves from a Crafts- Too die.
The shell, starfish and seahorse are clay embellishments that I painted with a white ZIG Woodcraft marker and added 'Black Soot' over to reveal the detail.
The sentiment is from Woodware and the bird also came included on the Kanban stamp sheet. I have added some white ribbon, a triple bow and some lace. I have also used some black Core'dination card stock.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly- Something For The Boys
Fantasy Stampers- Father's Day
Love To Scrap!- Male Call
Frilly And Funkie- Monochromatic
I hope you like my Father's Day card and thanks for taking the time to visit.

Floral Cuckoo Clock
Hello, I enjoyed making yesterday's card so much that I decided to make another clock inspired project.
For the base of my Floral Cuckoo Clock I have cut the clock itself from chipboard using my Silhouette and a cutting file from the Silhouette store. I then cut it again from paper so that I could do some different techniques.
For the brick effect on the base of the house I first applied some of Pamellia Johnson's homemade texture paste through a Dutch Doobadoo stencil on to the card. I dried it quickly with my heat tool, before adding splodges of Winsor and Newton water colours in splodges. I then gave it a little spritz with water to blend the colours and allowed it to dry. I also cut some small strips from a spare piece of the wood effect paper and added them around the house for a bit more detail
The wood effect was created using PVA glue and 'Brushed Corduroy' and 'Walnut Stain' Distress Inks and a EB7 Spectrum Noir Alcohol marker.
The clock face was made by triple embossing the piece of card with Silver embossing powder and while the enamel is still warm, I stamped into it with a Crafty Individuals stamp and Black Archival Ink. The hands were coloured with a black marker and added with a grey brad. The chains at the bottom have also been embossed with silver embossing powder.
The birds are from an old stamp set by Woodware and have been coloured with Copic markers and white highlights added with a ZIG Woodcraft marker.
For the flowers I used a variety of dies and Distress Inks. The largest yellow and pink rose was made using a Pinflair die, 'Wild Honey' and 'Worn Lipstick' Ink. The smaller light pink roses were made using a Tonic Petal Pair Punch and 'Tattered Rose' Ink. The brighter pink flowers use two Dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs and 'Worn Lipstick' Ink. The yellow rose buds use a small five petal flower punch, from Tonic and 'Wild Honey'. The daisies also use a punch from Tonic and I have added some yellow seed beads to for the centres of these and the brighter pink flowers.
The flourish vine is a die from Cheery- Lynn that has been coloured with 'Peeled Paint' Distress ink and the smaller twig like greenery uses a Marianne Designs die and 'Brushed Corduroy' and 'Peeled Paint'.
To finish I added touch of clear Wink of Stella to the tips of the flowers for a bit of glitter and some green organza ribbon to hang it by.
I would like to enter this into the following challenge: Try It On Tuesday- Watches and Clocks
I hope you like my Cuckoo Clock and thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Making Your Birthday A Wonderful Day
Hi, today I have a card to share with you that is a bit different to the style that I usually make. I bought this lovely clock face die from the Silhouette store a while back and have been waiting to use it on a project, and this fortnights challenge at Try It On Tuesday is the perfect opportunity.
My card uses a digital stamp 'Vintage Floral Frame' from The Paper Shelter. I printed the image and coloured it with Copic makers before using a white ZIG Woodcraft marker for highlights and a clear Wink Of Stella for a bit of shimmer. I then cut out the centre of the image and added the clock face.
The clock face was cut using my Silhouette and then covered with Tim Holtz Black Distress Embossing Powder. I then cut two Matt's, one I also covered with the Black Distress Embossing powder, the other from patterned paper and placed them underneath the clock face. The hands were cut out again and covered with gold gilding wax, before being attached with a brad.
I have used some backing papers from Craftwork Cards 'Butterfly Parade' paper pad and another Matt made using the Black Distress Embossing powder. I added some Pearl Stampendous embossing powder to the background after sponging some clear Versamark ink through a Flourish stencil by Tim Holtz. I also added a scattering of Shabby White Embossing Enamel to the background papers.
The damask shapes behind the sentiments were cut using my Silhouette and have been inked with 'Frayed Burlap' Distress Ink and Wink of Stella applied.
The swirls are a chipboard border from my stash, that I covered with the white ZIG Woodmarker and rubbed some gold gilding wax over the surface.
The sentiment is a Hobby Art stamp from their 'Birthday Collection' stamp set, which I stamped with Black Archival Ink and the butterflies were cut out from some of the patterned papers. This card is 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches.

Birthday Butterflies
Hi, today I have a card to share with you that uses some butterfly stamps from Hobby Arts 'Butterflies' stamp set. I have stamped the butterflies onto Vellum with Versamark ink and embossed them with 'Winter Wonderland' embossing powder from Stampendous. I then coloured the back of the butterflies with 'Dusty Concord' Distress Ink, cut them out and layered them for some dimension.
For each of the backgrounds I have started with a base background that I made with 'Dusty Concorde', 'Bundled Sage' and 'Antique Linen' Distress Inks and some Pearl Mica Spray.
For the large background layer I ran the card through a butterfly design embossing folder by Crafts- Too. I then applied some more 'Dusty Concorde' Ink over the raised butterflies, before outlining them with a Quickie Glue Pen and adding some Silver Gilding Flakes.
The strip background was made by applying some Versamark Ink through Tim Holtz's 'Flourish' stencil then adding some 'Winter Wonderland' embossing powder. I finished this panel by adding some more silver gilding flakes around the edges.
For the sentiment panel I stamped one of the Flourish stamps from Hobby Arts 'Flourishes stamp set with 'Bundled Sage' Distress ink around the sentiment but it is quite hard to see in this photo. The sentiment is from the 'Birthday Collection' stamp set from Hobby Art and has been stamped with 'Dusty Concorde' Distress Ink. I also added a frame of silver gilding flakes.
The purple card that I used for my layering was made with just the 'Dusty Concorde' Distress Ink and the Pearl Mica spray, then I stamped the same flourish stamp and 'Dusty Concorde' Distress Ink for a bit of detail.
I finished the card with some clear gems and green ribbon organza ribbon from my stash.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
I hope you like my card, I really enjoyed making this one and thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #140- Stitching
Hello, today sees the start of a new challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers and more. This fortnights challenge is to make a project that uses some stitching or faux.
For my card I have used an oriental stamp set that came as the free gift with this months Cardmaking and Papercrafts magazine. I stamped the images onto watercolour card with Archival ink and painted them with Spectrum Aqua Markers. I cut a frame from Kraft card and added some pink floral patterned paper before piercing two rows of hole around the frame. I then used some green embroidery floss to Cross Stitch around the frame. I then cut out the fan and some cherry blossom that I had stamped and coloured and attached them around the frame. Both of the backing papers I have used also came free with a magazine, but I can't remember which one, but they are a sample of Do Craft's new designs. I finished the card with a Thank you sentiment that also came with the stamp set and some crystal glitter.
I hope you like my card, and please take the time to visit my fellow DT's blogs to check out their beautiful cards.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:Creative Inspirations- Pastel Shades

Did Phillip Garrido Murder 10 Prostitutes?
While it's wonderful that Jaycee Lee Dugard was found alive, after spending 18 years of her life as a prisoner of Phillip and Nancy Garrido, many are starting to question why on earth she wasn't found sooner. Law enforcement missed multiple opportunities to find Dugard. In 2006, an anonymous caller phoned police and said that Garrido was "psychotic" and that they had heard children's voices in the backyard — where Dugard was being held — yet police never even searched his property. And then in 2008, the police did a sweep of registered sex offenders in Garrido's area, yet they only visited his home but never searched it.
There may have been a third opportunity as well. Police are now searching for forensic evidence which links Phillip Garrido to the deaths of 10 prostitutes in the mid-to-late-90s. Several of the bodies were found near an industrial park where Garrido worked at the time. For the sake of argument, let's say Garrido is responsible for these killings. Had Garrido been caught, Dugard likely would have been rescued 10 years ago. But unfortunately, when prostitutes are victims of violent crimes, their cases are not treated as high priority. How else to explain why the search for a serial killer has gone unsolved for so long? "No Humans Involved" (NHI) is an unofficial police term for the murders for prostitutes, transients, and homeless people, killings that are generally treated with a less of a priority than the murder of your average citizen. Can you imagine if 10 housewives had been murdered and the police suspected one person was responsible? It would be front page news! And had those murders gone unsolved, the person responsible still on the loose? The Contra Costa County police department would have been even more red-faced than they are now. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that heads would have rolled.
Instead, 10 prostitutes were murdered and their killer was never found. If that killer turns out to be Phillip Garrido, maybe people will finally show some outrage that killing sex workers should be treated with the same priority as everyone else. Jaycee Lee Dugard will have paid the price. [Times Online]

Kraken: The symbol of House Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, a giant squid in gold on a black field.
The killing of a giant squid had been preceded by a specific guess that linked it to meteoric falls in the Luzon Deep.
Everybody had been making fun of Dr. Harvey because he said there was such a thing as the giant squid.
"I presume you mean that a giant squid or cuttle fish has attacked us," spoke the professor.
Another flare swept from the fishing boat's deck in the direction of the giant squid.
The Judge says the world is full of marvels and I fancy, your encounter with that giant squid is one of them.

A Public Hearing on collaborative consumption took place in the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) – one of the advisory bodies of the European Commission – on September 25th in Brussels. Participants had the opportunity to exchange views on the topic with a broad range of institutional and other stakeholders. An Opinion Paper on collaborative consumption is open for comments until December and it will be formally adopted by the EESC on January 1st. It will be later transmitted to the European Commission (DG Health and Consumer Protection) that will decide whether legislation on the topic of collaborative consumption or other initiatives should be considered.
The event confirmed the growing importance of collaborative consumption for European regulators and their need to be better informed about the various initiatives and developments in the sector in order to facilitate its growth in Europe.Collaborative consumption fits well within the EU policy framework because of some common objectives: increase resource efficiency, create jobs and prosperity, build community participation, advance social innovation and generally accelerate a shift towards a stronger, more resilient Europe.
Many new collaborative consumption companies have operations in Europe, making the continent an incubator for new business models that creates a more sustainable economic development. However, the emergence of collaborative consumption in Europe is not happening without challenges. Innovations face substantial financial constraints and often lack institutional support and scale. New comers also struggle with a number of outdated regulatory frameworks, hostility of established enterprises and friction with trade unions and consumer organisations, which creates uncertainty that may inhibit investments and development of the sector.
Collaborative consumption is affected by many EU policies and addressed within existing EU initiatives regarding health and safety, consumers protection, resource efficiency, taxation, insurance, employment etc. Presentations made at the event by Airbnb, the European Crowdfunding Network and other car and bike sharing companies in Belgium confirmed that collaborative consumption enterprises are finding more and more that their national and international markets are shaped by European regulations and that markets can work better if regulations can ease their smooth functioning. Their business strategies must therefore be based on the legal instruments that the EU is likely to introduce if they want to unlock European markets, reduce burdensome regulations and generate competitive advantage.
Presentations made by Euro Freelancers, ShareNL and OuiShare at the event emphasized that the narrative of collaborative consumption is typically framed as a bottom-up, grassroots action. All of the proliferating collaborative consumption initiatives in Europe are focused on a small piece of a much larger puzzle and considerable change will not come from a disconnected group and a fragmented start-up scene along the value chain. However, if the most active organisations join forces to share a compelling agenda, an inspiring long-term vision and coordinate their EU policy actions, they could pave the way for the top-down framework conditions needed to scale-up collaborative consumption.
European policy makers should help to set up networks with leaders from cities (e.g. via the EU Covenant of Mayors or the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities) and create local working groups to address regulations that could hamper collaborative consumption, bringing together residents and neighbourhoods, redefining public services, innovation and civic engagement. This will help to build capacity, spread information and ideas about successful models for collaborative consumption and facilitate the transferability of best practice solutions across Member States.
European policy makers should also incentivize public investments (grants, subsidies) for pilot projects, platforms and initiatives on collaborative consumption all over Europe, above all in cities.
The EESC event marked the launch of the European Sharing Economy Coalition as the first pan-European network to make the case for European policies that place a much greater emphasis on sharing and collaboration, as the driving force behind a more prosperous, sustainable and competitive European economy.

God Help the Children of The Poor
"Marc Parent is one person who should never have been a child protective worker. In his widely acclaimed book, "Turning Stones" Parent portrays the Emergency Children's Services in New York as an operation that tolerates outlaw switchblade knife toting cowboys, including Parent himself.
Because Child Protective Services (CPS) is a political issue that depends on the political process for budgeting and priorities, and because CPS is subject to being used as a political football and is also subject to intense media oversight and pressure it is necessary for CPS workers themselves to speak up and stand against the tide, if need be, on behalf of their clients, the children."

"The Soviet Union, even at its mightiest, never had the firepower and military might that the U.S. now possesses. And yet the U.S. is struggling to maintain security of its own forces in the tiny nation of Iraq, after years and years of disarming and weakening of the Iraqi military and population!"

We need South-South integration
"Globalization's negative impact in the region as elsewhere includes volatility of capital flows, rampant consumerism, environmental impacts, and death of infant industries. There is also a cost to labor that is losing rights because of the new system of global production relying on temporary jobs."
Israel and the Fall of Racially-Based Societies
"...belief in being better than others is quite convenient since, in their minds, it justifies their historical and current dehumanization and sacrifice of others. Almost certainly this is the basis for much hate that plagues the Jews (and their supporters)."
Global gearbox, local transmission
"The underlying narrative, that the current Intifada was a reaction to Arafat's misrule, and thus launched in order to divert attention from it, has belatedly found favor with Israeli media commentators, and since been echoed widely in post-9/11 diagnoses of Arab "inabilities to cope" with "globalization" and "modernity". But under the tutelage of institutions such as the World Bank, the Palestinians did indeed try to globalize during Oslo, and in this precedent lies the revealing tale of globalizing imperatives transmitted through a local reality of occupation."

And Doug Ewell answered:

This is correct, except that it is two 16-bit code *units* required to
represent supplementary characters.
For the UTF-32 encoding form, there is nothing special about supplementary
characters (characters whose Unicode scalar value, i.e. code point, is
between 0x10000 and 0x10FFFF), except that they've only recently started
to be standardized.
For the UTF-8 encoding form, supplementary characters are represented in
4 bytes, while basic characters are represented in 1, 2, or 3 bytes. This
could have an implication for an implementation, although proper UTF-8
implementations should already be handling them correctly. The big issue
is for UTF-8 implementations that *incorrectly* handle supplementary
characters as sequences of two 3-byte representations of surrogate code
points. In order to talk meaningfully about those issues, a terminological
distinction between basic and supplementary characters is useful.
For the UTF-16 encoding form, as Doug pointed out, the difference is between
1 code unit versus 2 code units for representation of a code point.
That distinction is rather significant for many Unicode implementations,
and again a terminological distinction is useful.
Finally, for comparison to ISO/IEC 10646, it is also useful to have a
terminological distinction that lines up with the international standard.
10646 has settled on the term "supplementary planes" to refer to Planes
1 through 16, so the use of the term "supplementary character" in Unicode
to refer to characters encoded on the supplementary planes makes it easier
to understand what is intended, no matter which of the two standards you
are coming from.
> Many descriptions on the Web erroneously claim that Unicode contains only the

That sentence will be updated eventually.
The critical piece of text in the standard is conformance clause C1 on
page 37, which currently reads:
"C1 A process shall interpret Unicode code values as 16-bit quantities.
* Unicode values can be stored in native 16-bit machine words."
In Unicode 3.1, about to be published in UAX #27, that wording is being
changed to:
"C1 A process shall interpret the Unicode code units in accordance with
the Unicode Transformation Format used.
* The Unicode Standard defines code points (scalar values) that can
be encoded in any of three transformation formats (encoding forms):
UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32."
The PDUTR #27 text currently accessible on the website does not yet
show this change, which was just accepted at the recent UTC meeting,
but expect an updated text for what will eventually become UAX #27
to show up on the site in approximately a week.

Smokies' Ramirez gets off on right foot
Right-hander allows one hit, strikes out five over 4 2/3 frames
By Jonathan Raymond / MiLB.com | August 29, 2013 9:44 PM ET
When a Major Leaguer gets traded, there might be any number of reasons behind it -- age, salary, production.
When a Minor Leaguer is dealt away, though, there's one main factor involved -- the team on the receiving end thinks you can help down the road.
On Thursday, taking the mound for the first time with his new team, Neil Ramirez showed the Cubs what he could do in the near future.
The club's No. 12 prospect, acquired to complete this year's Matt Garza recent trade from the Rangers, looked strong in his debut with Double-A Tennessee. The right-hander surrendered just one hit and two walks and struck out five in 4 2/3 innings without factoring into the decision in a 5-0 win over Chattanooga.
"I thought it was good. I thought I was out there throwing strikes, attacking guys, just trying to give these guys a chance to win," he said. "I threw all my pitches, my fastball and changeup were working the most for me. I was able keep guys off balance with the changeup and elevate the fastball. Worked out."
The Cubs have mounted a highly visible rebuilding effort over the past few seasons under general manager Theo Epstein, and as in any rebuilding project, that means a young talent like Ramirez will likely get a chance to push for an opportunity sooner than later.
"I'm excited about it and I know any time you get traded to a team they obviously have been scouting you and think you can help them. I see it as like a fresh start. It's a good organization to be with, trying to rebuild and you know it seems like they're trying to do it through their Minor League system, give guys opportunities. I'm excited about that," he said.
The 24-year-old had long been a promising arm in the Texas system, but scuffled some last year. He began the year with Triple-A Round Rock, where he ended the 2011 season, but posted a 7.66 ERA in 74 innings with the Express and was sent down to Double-A Frisco.
He regained his footing there, notching a 4.20 ERA in his last 13 appearances of the season, and this year, he re-established his prospect status by going 9-3 for the RoughRiders with a 3.84 ERA in 103 innings. Most importantly, he's struck out 127 -- good for an 11.10 K/9 -- while walking 42.
He said the trade also gave him a chance to take a few days off and recharge for the stretch run.
"There was a period of about five days where I didn't throw a baseball, just because I wasn't able to. So it's nice just to get back to throwing when I got to Tennessee, get into my routine, try to finish strong," Ramirez said. "It's a little bit of an adjustment as far as being down and having to get cranked up again, but I feel like the downtime will help me finish strong here.
"They've got great guys in this clubhouse. They're going to the playoffs and have been playing real well all year and made me feel like one of the guys right away. Just getting out there and playing baseball again, they made it easy, made it comfortable."
Offensively for the Smokies, No. 14 Cubs prospect Christian Villanueva homered while Justin Bour plated three runs.
P.J. Francescon (2-0) struck out three and walked one in 1 1/3 innings of relief to earn the win while Yeiper Castillo picked up his first save with three perfect frames to off the one-hitter.

It has also been confirmed that New Zealand has earned a spot on the start line at seven Olympic classes, with the Men's 49er and Laser being added to the five previously confirmed classes on Thursday night. Based on results so far, it is looking probable that NZ will qualify in the Women's 470 and Men's RS:X at this event.
The 49er fleet swapped their rest day Thursday for one race, and Peter Burling and Blair Tuke had a strong finish in third. Their points earned during the qualifying round have stuck with them now in the gold fleet where they sit in fourth overall, and they are tied in points for third, and only one point behind second.
'We just need to keep knocking off good performances' said Peter. The 49ers will be racing early Friday morning at 9:00 am in the centre course of Bathers Bay.
The Men's RS:X class saw some topsy-turvy results today in their three races, again due to a strange breeze. Both JP Tobin and Tom Ashley had results with scores under five and over twenty. JP now sits in the favoured position of seventh overall, and Tom has slipped back to ninth.
Three of the famous five men's Laser sailors are within the top fifteen overall, this was a big climb up the leader board especially for Andy Maloney and Mike Bullot.
Unfortunately Andrew Murdoch received a second yellow flag today which rendered him out of the first race. Penalty aside, Andrew had two good races today and still remains within the top ten in the overall standings of the Mens' Laser, eighth overall.
Tomorrow the Mens' RS:X and Lasers have a rest day, and Saturday will be their final two races before Sunday's medal races for the top ten competitors.
Friday and Saturday will have two races per day for the women's 470 and three for the men's 49er.

Jimmy Giggle, Hoot the Owl and their best owl pal Hootabelle are coming to the Canberra Theatre Centre in January for their first live stage show, Giggle and Hoot and Friends. They will be joined on stage by B1 and B2, aka Bananas In Pyjamas, and Sportacus and Stephanie from LazyTown.
Adapted from the ABC4Kids top-rating programs, the show will feature favourite songs, lots of dancing and colourful costumes.
Jimmy Rees, 25, who plays Jimmy Giggle, says this will be his first time in Canberra performing (he's visited a couple of times for meet-and-greets at shopping centres) and he's looking forward to it.
''It will be a lot of fun,'' he says.
It will also be a change from the hectic schedule of shooting the show - he lives on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria and travels up to Sydney two days a week - which he's undertaken since he was cast in 2009.
''I was doing an arts media degree at Deakin University,'' he says, ''and I decided that I wanted to earn a bit of money.''
He sent in an audition disc to ABC3 for its Me On 3 program and was chosen out of more than 5000 applicants. He still hasn't gone back to finish his degree.
''I've got 10 years to go back,'' he says. ''I want to finish it but I'm too busy.''
Rees is looking forward to the interactive element of a live theatre audience. ''I love kids, always have,'' he says. ''They're really great fun, a funny audience.''
And if they're bored or unhappy, they're not afraid to show it. Which is why the live show runs a tight 50 minutes with plenty of characters and action and audience involvement to keep them entertained.
Also in the audience may be some of the mothers who apparently find Jimmy Giggle a bit of all right and discuss this on social media. It's something he finds amusing - and so does Tori, the primary school teacher he will marry next year.
''The people at work and my fiancee keep pushing me towards Facebook sites about this,'' he says. ''It's part of the job.''
Nice work if you can get it, as the saying goes. But so far, nobody has thrown their underwear at him and it is not something he would encourage.
''That would be inappropriate,'' Rees says.
He says that as the host of a children's show he is mindful of the need to be a role model, as with other children's entertainers such as the Wiggles.
''There's a lot of responsibility with kids to act in an appropriate manner,'' he says.
Not that there's any whiff of scandal about Rees. Apart from his duties on and publicising the show, he likes writing and playing music - he taught himself to play his father's guitar as a teenager - and performing on stage.
He began acting as a student at The Peninsula School in shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar, Fame and Cabaret.
And early next year he will play the Scarecrow in a pro-am production of The Wizard of Oz in Parramatta with one of his colleagues from Giggle and Hoot as the Tin Man.
Rees says he is happy to make the most of playing Jimmy Giggle for as long as it lasts but some time in the future he says he wouldn't mind hosting a talk show like Rove McManus or Shaun Micallef. Music is also something that interests him.
But all this - and finishing that degree - are all at some unspecified time to come as Jimmy Giggle is still keeping him very busy.
■ Giggle and Hoot and Friends is on at the Canberra Theatre Centre on January 23 at 4pm and January 24 at 10am and noon. Tickets: A Reserve $44.90 B Reserve $34.90. Bookings: 6275 2700 or canberratheatrecentre.com.au

Alle-Kiski Tuesday Takes
School of hard "Knochs": The South Butler high school has seen its share of athlete-related tragedies in the past five years. Tim McNerny, one of the school's all-time great football players, was murdered in Washington, Pa., last week; cheerleader Alexis Summers died last year in a car accident and in 2008, former football player Curtis Howard was shot to death in street violence in Lancaster, Pa.
Cheswick police: The borough should continue to investigate contracting out its police service and/or merging with one or more neighboring departments. If there are savings to be had, why not? Some residents seem to believe the borough should have its own department, simply because they want it, but don't articulate as to why. We're a little confused on that one.
Say what?: A number of local school districts are considering selling advertising on school property to defray costs. But University of Colorado researcher Alex Molnar says the practices could harm the students' critical thinking skills by allowing them to accept without question advertising messages. Perhaps that wouldn't be a problem if our schools actually taught critical thinking skills.
Congrats: Ned Laubacher, CEO of the Allegheny Valley Hospital in Harrison, has been kicked up the corporate ladder of the West Penn Allegheny Health System. Laubacher is becoming an executive vice president and will oversee AVH and Forbes Regional Hospital in Monroeville.

A Year in the Life
Talent on Display
his year offered an array of opportunities for
students to showcase their talents on campus
and around the region.
The Theatre Department presented four
productions, kicking off in October with Beth
Henley's 1981 Pulitzer Prize-winning play
Crimes of the Heart
The play was directed by
BSC Professor of Theatre Dr. Alan Litsey in
collaboration with Anna Rose MacArthur, a
theatre major from Chattanooga. The season
ended in April with Jonathan Larson's Tony
directed by Professor
of Theatre Michael Flowers. In between, the
department performed the controversial rock
Spring Awakening
in November, and
the college's first production of the comic romp
The Good Doctor
during the January Exploration
The Concert Choir performed eight concerts
in two states during its annual Spring Tour in
March, singing music by Franz Schubert, Alberto
Ginastera, Ernest Bloch, Z. Randall Stroope,
and others. During E-Term, students studying
children's opera performed Seymour Barab's
Little Red Riding Hood
for local schools and
patients at Children's Hospital. The season also
marked the 75th annual BSC Service of Lessons
and Carols, which featured the world premiere
of a new piece by the renowned composer Eric
Whitacre, commissioned by alumni and friends
of the college especially for the occasion. And the
BSC Alumni Choir issued its first holiday CD
to the Celebration
featuring a collection of Advent
and Christmas music made from live performances
at the college's annual Carol Service between 1978
and 2010.
BSC dancers put on the annual holiday Winter
Dance performance in December and a Spring
Dance demonstrating what they had learned
throughout the year. The spring event, called
Timeless," was directed by and included a piece
choreographed by Jacqueline Crenshaw Lockhart
director of the BSC dance program, and also
included a Balanchine-inspired ballet by Alabama
native William-Michael Cooper.
The college's Durbin Gallery held several
exhibitions throughout the year, including a spring
show of works by graduating seniors. In February,
BSC hosted the poignant "Darkness into Life:
Alabama Holocaust Survivors through Photography
and Art," along with a companion series of lectures,
including a visit by Birmingham survivor Max
Steinmetz, to examine the events leading up to and
during the Holocaust.

In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Tina Fey reveals a stranger cut her face when she was 5 years old, leaving a scar on her left cheek.
Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Tina Fey opens up to the January 2009 issue of Vanity Fair magazine about the story behind the scar on the left side of her face. Besides, she also talks about her loves for cupcakes, strippers role and nice people.
Publicly addressing the scar on her left cheek for the very first time, Fey admits "It's impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it and glorifying it." She goes on telling the publication that she got the scar when she was still 5 years old when a stranger walked into the front yard of her Upper Darby, Penn., home and cut her face, leaving a scar on her left cheek. "She just thought somebody marked her with a pen," her husband Jeff Richmond adds.
As a result of the incident, Fey thus doesn't "enjoy any kind of danger or volatility". "I don't have that kind of 'I love the bad guys' thing. No, no thank you. I like nice people," she reveals. And that is one reason why she loves her husband Jeff very much.
Talking about her love for cupcakes, Fey jokingly tells Vanity Fair's Maureen Dowd, that it's okay to indulge before the Vanity Fair photo shoot with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz because "Annie's going to photograph my soul, right?" Furthermore also revealing her love for strippers role, the actress explains, "I love to play strippers and to imitate them. I love using that idea for comedy, but the idea of actually going there? I feel like we all need to be better than that. That industry needs to die, by all of us being a little bit better than that."
In addition to the interview, Tina Fey also takes over the cover of Vanity Fair's January 2009 issue, which will go on sale on Wednesday, December 3 in New York/L.A. and December 9 nationwide.

SPORTS>> Rabbits roll Dogs
Leader sportswriter
Lonoke coach Wes Swift admits there are still some kinks left to work out with his new high-octane Jackrabbits.
But that high-octane style was still good for nine steals and 22 points in the first quarter alone during Lonokes 75-59 win over Star City on Thursday night in the first round of the Pulaski Academy tournament.
The Jackrabbits (4-1) ended up winning the turnover battle by only one at 20-19, although most of those giveaways came with extended sub play in the second half by Lonoke.
We played the kind of game we wanted to play, Swift said. We made so many mistakes, but its still early and were a work in progress. I thought we made a few shots tonight. I think youre going to see us make more and more. Obviously, were not going to make the three-point shot every night, but I think we have enough players that can knock down a couple.
There was no shortage of Jackrabbit players knocking down the three-pointers against Star City. Trenton Spencer and Michael Howard each had two in the first half, while Lance Jackson put up 11 of his total 13 points in the third quarter alone, nine of which came from behind the arc.
The outside game generated plenty of points, and a 13 point, eight rebound performance by senior forward Pierre Smith gave the Jackrabbits balance on the inside.
The Bulldogs tried to put the defensive pressure on Howard and fellow senior Clarence Harris, but it was to little avail, as Lonoke used its depth and a plethora of skilled shooters to spread the scoring around. Howard still went on to lead all scorers in the game with 16 points, while Jackson had a good night on both ends with 13 points and six steals.
Thats what we talked about up at Morrilton, said Swift. We got up there, and it was Michael Howard. Mikes going to be a consistent scorer for us. He can really score. They went to face guarding him tonight. And like I told them, thats still fine. We still have enough scorers that I dont think teams are going to be able to do that to us. Any time you take a defensive player out of the mix, its always advantage-offense.
Lonokes offense held quite an advantage during the first half, outscoring the Bulldogs 22-10 in the first quarter. The Jackrabbits went on to hold a dominant 49-29 lead at the half, and was one point away from a mercy rule at the 1:19 mark of the third quarter before relieving the starters.
Star City took advantage of the subs inexperience, cutting the lead to 73-57 with 2:42 left, which prompted Swift to put his starting five back in for the remainder.
A total of 28 rebounds was enough for Lonoke to win the rebounding battle against the comparably-sized Bulldogs, but not by much. Swift said that is one area in which he and his players are still not on the same page.
Its not very good, and thats a weak spot for us, he said. Its what we talk about every practice. Its my number-one priority, and I think about their number 10 priority right now, so thats not a good thing. Thats going to be a work in progress.
Darius Scott had eight points and five steals for Lonoke. Spencer and Harris also finished with eight points. For Star City, post player Deandra Edwards led with 15 points, with 13 for C.J. Waters and 10 for point guard Issac Hawkins.
Lonoke played host Pulaski Academy last night in the semifinals after Leader deadlines.

Communicate with the Senate
Whereas there is at present no administrative office that looks across the disciplines to address the needs of UHM undergraduates (especially those in their first two years) and to co-ordinate their various academic programs;
Whereas resources in support of undergraduate education are now scattered across many offices;
Whereas such an office has the potential to increase the number of students matriculating at UHM;
Whereas administrative structures have not adequately addressed the needs of UHM undergraduates;
Whereas the establishment of an OUE would be important symbolically and would say to our community that we are devoted to providing an excellent undergraduate experience, we will nurture our students' intellectual.and social development, and we will prepare them well for their intended careers and for participation in the communities in which they eventually make their homes;
therefore, be it resolved,
that, at the time of Manoa reorganization, an OUE be established--to be headed by a senior administrator, to be placed structurally in an administrative position at the direct center of the academic enterprise, and to be amply funded to support those programs under its purview;
that due consideration be given to aligning all academic advisors so as to give coherence to UHM's undergraduate advisory mission;
that due consideration be given to placing the new office of enrollment management under the OUE so as to coordinate recruitment with admissions, matriculation, orientation, advising, and instruction; and
that the office be established without contributing to the proliferation of administration that has characterized the UHM campus over the past decade.
Background Information for Resolution of Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE)
During the last several years, recommendations for the establishment of an Office of Undergraduate Education have come from three campus committees: the Manoa Faculty Senate Ad Hoc Committee on the Undergraduate Experience (March 1998); the A&S Millennium Academic Experience Committee (April 1999); and the WASC Task Force on General Education (1999). In response to these calls for improvement in undergraduate education, the Faculty Senate passed a "Resolution to Appoint a Senior Administrator for Undergraduate Studies" on March 31, 1999. This resolution led to still another review by The Joint Committee on the Office of Undergraduate Affairs, which also recommended the establishment of such an office (Spring 2000). In the process of preparing their various reports, members of each group consulted widely with students, faculty, and administrators. It should also be noted that the recently approved Manoa General Education plan assumes "administrative support for the operations of the GEC and its related Boards" (final clause, Faculty Senate Resolution, October 18, 2000). CAPP endorses the recommendations of these previous groups and affirms its support of the establishment of an office of undergraduate education.

Of course, as a young man, Brando took himself and his work very seriously.
Brando, who once played a gay soldier, was ahead of his time in confronting the question head-on.
Both Brando and Bertolucci were nominated for Oscars, while Schneider was snubbed.
The runaround concluded with King and Brando exchanging lip kisses.
As things turned out, both newsmagazines got their Tango cover stories, but only one had Brando in his own words.
He follows it with the vindictive "Infin, che un Brando vindice" (In fine a swift, unerring blade).
On a declivity towards the sea, is the beautiful stalactite cavern of Brando, not long since discovered.
During the interval between Brando's death and Turold's arrival, a partial destruction of the monastery took place.
During his incarceration Brando had taught himself English, which he now spoke almost fluently.
Brando was an ardent admirer of Rudyard Kipling, and could, I verily believe, have passed an examination in most of his works.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
This is my first online "chat".....
It IS comforting to learn what I am experiencing is "common", however startling to me! Did not realize there are physicians who specialize in balance medicine....puzzling question is how this problem started in the first place...I thought it seemed to start with the cataract operation...yet that is not the cause. Am anxiously awaiting whatever information you can provide. Primary care physician is aware of my problem. Have not seen her in a few months. I will see her again to update her on steps I have taken so far. Could it be the medication I am taking?.
Hi Irena,
Take a look at this website, and get back to me if you would like for me to look up a clinic in your area for you. Best wishes . I'm glad that you asked the question. So many people need more education about this. Fall prevention is extremely important. I'm glad I could help you.
Hi Irena,Take a look at this website, and get back to me if you would like for me to look up a clinic in your area for you. Best wishes . I'm glad that you asked the question. So many people need more education about this. Fall prevention is extremely important. I'm glad I could help you.
Hi again Irene,
Please reply so that both I and customer services knows that you are receiving my help answers.
Please remember to click a happy face rating.
I must go off duty now for a family calling, but if you have other questions, I will check back in first thing in the morning.
Thank you.
Dr. Tom, as an aside, I forgot to mention what I think may be one of the causes of my imbalance: depth perception. when closing each eye separately, there is a difference of 2 feet, i.e. left eye sight reveals object 2 ft. closer than when looking from right eye. Also, individual eyes change shade of color....right eye showed walls, grey, right eye had wall a bright cream! This was told to the ophthalmologist and dismissed. Are these all part of vestibular disorder?
I went to provided web site: vestibular.org and located a PT clinic across the street from our condo!!!: Jackson Clinic! Before I contact them, I need your opinion re depth perception problem.
What troubles me is that two ophthalmologists swore my vision is 20/20 yet my vision seems blurry without wearing glasses. Dizziness is worse when wearing glasses ( I've worn my entire life) and less so without them, but blurry vision! yet I am told I have 20/20! Frustrating!
Any insight?
Thank you for your prompt reply Dr. Tom. I was unable to answer until today. So, tho' I "hate" to admit it....this aging process is for the birds! Glad to have you say the physical therapist can help in the balancing and
in the process the depth perception problem may correct itself.
As to new glasses....Ophthalmologist prescribed new glasses immediately after cataract surgery...twice..still dizziness. 2nd ophthalmologist has prescribed new right eye lenses...since original cataract eye has changed in time. It is not the glasses., nor eyes....it is "all in my head"! I am hoping the PT can help me. Is it normal to suspect that something is pressing on my optic nerve? Thank you Dr. Tom for listening.
Dr. Tom, I have discussed my dizziness w/ primary care doctor...that is where I started this "adventure". I will return to her once again with all the info I have learned. THANK YOU. I will return to you when I have seen her and the vestibular PT. This is so frustrating!
