Grace Bible Church Expository Sermon Notes
Jesus Confronts the Disobedient Nation
cf. Matt. 21:28-46 The Lords Day 6/8/97 AM
The section of Matthew 21:23-23:39 contains the final face-off between the heavenly authority of Christ and the religious authority of the Jewish leadership. Jesus confronted the Jewish leaderships disobedience by three parables: the parable of the Disobedient Son, the parable of the Disobedient Tenant Farmers and the parable of the Disobedient Guests.
The Parable of the Disobedient Son
Matthew 21:28-32 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said the same. And he answered and said, I go, sir; and went not. Which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you that the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
The Lord obviously was setting the chief priests, scribes and Pharisees up for His rebuke of their disobedience, when He asked this hypothetical question about two sons response to their father's requests. Then the Lord applied the parable to the contemporary disobedience of the nation of Israel. The story was self evident and the "scribes and Pharisees" got the answer right. But then Jesus focused in on their own disobedience, as He tightened the noose by saying that "the tax collectors and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you." Jesus was referring to two groups of notorious sinners, whose lives rejected the will of God initially. The tax collectors had sold out their national birthright to collect money for Rome and extort their Jewish brothers; the harlots had sold out their souls to prostitute in fleshly immorality.They initially rejected God. In order to collect taxes for the Roman overlords, the tax collector had to turn from the privileged heritage of being a citizen under the covenant of Moses; and the harlot, in order to prostitute her body had to turn from the privileged heritage of being a child of God. They both had to become practical atheists, saying, "No, God!" to the ordering of their moral and ethical lives. But like the first son in the story, the "tax collectors and harlots" repented of their initial rebellion toward God and obeyed Him by responding to the ministry of John the Baptist. The chief priests, scribes and Pharisees who initially claimed to obey God, like the second son in Jesus' story, however, did not respond to the ministry of John the Baptist. Obviously, it's not what we say, but what we do with our lives that proves if we are an atheist or a theist; a fool or a wise man; disobedient or obedient. Remember the context, where the chief priests, scribes and Pharisees came and challenged Jesus authority for teaching, causing Christ to ask them pointedly about the ministry of John the Baptist. They compromised in their answer, because their knew that the people held John to be a prophet, and said, "We cannot tell," Which was a dog-faced lie! They had rejected the ministry of John the Baptist, by not repenting of their own sins and adding the addition transgression of rejecting the Baptizer's message that Jesus was the Messiah. Their proper response was, upon watching Jesus' miracles and ministry, to repent from their previous rejection of John the Baptists' affirmation and embrace Jesus as their Messiah and Lord. They had the opportunity to repent of their previous "No" to God and follow the first sons example of obedience. But they didn't. cf. Matthew 7:21-27. Then Jesus immediately gave a second parable, reinforcing the same rebuke
The Parable of the Disobedient
Tenant Farmers
Matthew 21:33 Hear another parable, There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to tenant farmers, and went into a far country.
By introducing this parable, the religious leaders, would be all too familiar with the nation being related to an unfruitful vineyard awaiting the judgment of God. cf. Isaiah 5:1-7. And the judgment fell on the nation at the time of the exile, when God removed His protective hand and the land was overrun by predatory nations. Then the Lord continued...
Matthew 21:34-36 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the farmers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they did the same unto them.
At this point the parable takes a different turn from the Isaiah parable. The landowner had gone on a long journey, no doubt speaking of God withdrawing His immediate presence during Ezekiel's day when the Shekinah glory departed from Israel or from the temple. God left the care of His vineyard or nation to certain "tenant farmers," who represent the "chief priests and elders of the people." Tenant farmers would contract to work the land, taking some of the fruit and returning the rest of the fruit to the householder. No doubt the leaders listening to Jesus would immediately recognize that Jesus was speaking of them, so when He spoke of their unjust cruel treatment of the "servants" of the householder sent to gather the fruits, they could only conclude that Jesus had reference to the OT prophets. Then the Lord continued...
Matthew 21:37-39 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Finally, the householder or God would send His son, who would be "cast out of the vineyard, and killed," no doubt referring to His own soon crucifixion! And at this point Jesus forces the "chief priests and elders of the people" to answer an obvious question...
Matthew 21:40-41 When the lord, therefore, of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those farmers? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will lease his vineyard unto other farmers, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
That was the only just answer that could have been given and no doubt the religious leaders felt somewhat smug about getting the answer right! But then Jesus, as He did in the parable of the two sons, tightened the noose of incriminating judgment...
Matthew 21:42-44 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner; this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Once again quoting from Psalm 118, which was a favorite during the Passover season, Jesus pointed out the prophecy concerning His own rejection by "the builders" or leadership of the nation of Israel. It was the Jewish leadership who rejected the "stone" which was to anchor the building of the nation, but God would place Him as the "head of the corner" regardless! God would decisively deal with the fruitless nation of Israel, and this time He would give the "kingdom of God" to a "nation," no doubt speaking of the church, which would "bring forth the fruits of it." And there would be two kinds of responses to this "stone" which the builders rejected: the first response, are those who fall on the "stone." They shall be broken or repentant; the second response, are those on whom the "stone" falls, and they shall be pulverized! And as we mentioned before, the "chief priests and elders of the people" understood the implications and indicting warning of this parable, for Matthew adds...
Matthew 21:45-46 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them. But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they regarded Him as a prophet.
This wasnt a mystery or veiled rebuke, but a clear forthright stinging indictment of the Jewish leaderships rejection of Jesus the Messiah and refusal to repent. They stood there angry and frustrated because "they feared the multitude, who regarded Jesus as a prophet."
Main Idea: Although the authority of both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ was from heaven, it was rejected by the Jewish leadership on earth. Like many professing Christians throughout history, they claimed to follow God but their disobedience unmasked their hypocrisy. They remained in danger of Gods judgmental wrath!
What Should We Do About this Passage?
- Application Recommendations -
Among professing believers have always been two types of people: one who claims to be a Christian but is not obedient to the Lord; and one whose obedience validates the legitimacy of their claim.

Lead time for Kindle book release ahead of print release date - experiences?

Lead time for Kindle book release ahead of print release date - experiences?
I came across a mention of Dan Brown's Lost Symbol (that is, the final title; I knew he was writing a new book, and what the working title was) by chance somewhere and went to try to preorder it for Kindle. No dice -- it's not listed on the product page (
Amazon.com: The Lost Symbol: Dan Brown: Books
). Oh well.
Checked to see if it was listed in the local library consortium's computers, and it wasn't, so I made a bookmark for the search form (basically bookmarked the GET form submission) so I could check back from time to time.
On a whim I checked again 1-3 hours later, and this time I found that one of the local libraries in the consortium had ordered it! I immediately hit the "request item" link, entered my library card number, etc. ... and found that I was #6 on the list on a just-announced book that just showed up in the system. There must be locals who literally sit on the library's website hitting refresh to see if some book they want is listed yet.
If there is a Kindle version by the release date, I'll go ahead and get that so I'll be able to read the book again as often as I want, but I'll still keep the library 'hold' active; Mom (who introduced me to Mr. Brown when
The DaVinci Code
came out since she knows I like scifi/fantasy crime stories) will want to read the book, so I could let her borrow it, and I'll probably get it very quickly upon release because I know the consortium will order more than six copies for a highly anticipated book like this one (end result - #6 is about as good as being #1 with regards to wait time).
I've been told by a few people that Kindle editions of new books often don't appear on Amazon pages until a few days before the print edition of a book comes out - has this been others' experiences? I did click "I want to read this book on Kindle" -- just in case. I also put a note in iCal to remind me 7, 2, and 1 days before the release date to see if a link to a Kindle edition is added to the product page.
I guess we'll have to see, but I'd be very, very surprised if a hotly anticipated book like this one doesn't have a Kindle edition by release time. I'm surprised it doesn't have one now because I can imagine that there'd be a ton of people wanting to preorder for automatic download on release day and all the news coverage spurred by the press release/announcement of the release date and title would push the book into the minds of people who have read his other books, or have some other reason to want to buy this one. Some people may forget to keep checking back if they only want a Kindle version and not a dead-tree book.

Thompson Snags E.L. Pitcher of the Week Award
Southpaw wins second career award
By Mike Passanisi / Altoona Curve | April 18, 2011 8:12 AM ET
PORTLAND, Maine - Altoona Curve Starting Pitcher Aaron Thompson has been named the E.L. Pitcher of the Week award winner for the week ending April 17th, the league office announced earlier this morning. Thompson is the first award winner for the 2011 season and it is the second Player of the Week award in his career.
The Beaumont, Texas native made two starts and led the club to its first victory of the season on April 9th and its first home win on April 14th. He was 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA over his two starts and permitted just three hits total in 12.0 innings pitched. In his first start in a Curve uniform on April 9th, Thompson allowed a hit to the first batter he faced in the game and then did not permit another the remainder of the game. He finished six innings and allowed just one run on one hit to earn the win.
In his second outing, which occurred in the Curve's home opener on April 14th, Thompson tossed six innings and allowed just two hits while keeping the Flying Squirrels off the scoreboard. He struck out five and walked just one batter.
A former first-round pick of the Florida Marlins (22nd overall) back in 2005, Thompson came to the Pirates organization after the Buccos picked him up off of waivers this past offseason after he was left unprotected by the Washington Nationals. The last time Thompson won a Player of the Week award was in 2006, when he was named the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week for the week of May 21st after going 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA as a member of the Greensboro Grasshoppers.
Thompson will make his next scheduled start at Blair County Ballpark on Wednesday versus his old team, the Harrisburg Senators.
Reading's Cody Overbeck was named the E.L. Player of the Week after hitting .366 with five home runs to go along with 13 RBI and 10 runs scored.
Altoona opens up a three-game series with the Senators, Double-A affiliate of the Washington Nationals, tonight at Blair County Ballpark beginning at 6:30 p.m. Gates will open up at 5:30 p.m. and it's the first Mirror Monday of the season in Curve, PA. Fans should check the front page of the sports section in today's Altoona Mirror for a coupon good for a $3 Grandstand ticket to tonight's game with the Senators.
For tickets and more information, call 877.99.CURVE, visit AltoonaCurve.com or stop by the box office at Blair County Ballpark.

Van Holt, who plays alongside Philipps on 'Cougar Town', says that he has seen pictures of the actress' baby girl and comments that Philipps' second child is 'beautiful.'
Brian Van Holt can't help gushing over Busy Philipps' second daughter. At the Los Angeles premiere of the new FX series, "The Bridge", Philipps' co-star on "Cougar Town" told E! News that he had seen pictures of Philipps' still-unnamed baby daughter.
"Beautiful baby. I saw pictures," Van Holt said. He later revealed that Philipps and her husband Marc Silverstein had not decided a name. "I said Bobby. I think they should name it Bobby, but they weren't going for it," he joked. Bobby is the character he plays on the series.
Philipps, who welcomed her second daughter on Tuesday, July 2, thanked fans for their well wishes following the baby's birth. "Thank you all for the warm wishes for our new little ladybug! It's been so sweet to read them all!!" she tweeted on July 9.
The 34-year-old actress announced the arrival of her bundle of joy via Twitter one day after she gave birth. "So this happened," she wrote on the Twitter post. A black-and-white picture of the actress cuddling her newborn baby was attached to the post. The baby girl will join her big sister, 4-year-old Birdie Leigh.
The "He's Just Not That Into You" star said earlier this year that Birdie always asked for a sibling. "My daughter is very excited, it's actually something that she has asked for for quite some time. My husband and I were on the fence about whether or not we were going to add to our family, but now that we're on our road, we're really excited," she told Huffington Post Celebrity.

Community Gardens and Farms as Detroit Renewal Tools
The New York Times' food writer Mark Bittman travels to Detroit to see how food and farming are changing the city for the better.
"Food is central. Justice, security, a sense of community, and more intelligent land use have become integral to the food system. Here, local food isn't just hip, it's a unifying factor not only among African-Americans and whites but between them. Food is an issue on which it seems everyone can agree, and this is a lesson for all of us.
'The idea,' says Malik Yakini, a school principal who runs the two-acre D-Town Farm, 'is to help black people stand up, to demonstrate that creating reality is not the exclusive domain of white people - without pointing fingers at white people.' The farm, located in Rouge Park - the city's biggest - will soon double in size."

No need to go with any homemade solutions guys. This is from another thread, but it's about to get serious for BMW:
For many of you on the board with a long history of tail light problems, be sure to SAVE YOUR INVOICES. It looks like you can get your money back once the recall starts. Better is the fact that BMW might actually stop having us fix our own cars with parts from Radio Shack . . . . Geesh, have they no shame?
It's time to stop with the "homemade" fixes. This is a serious safety defect and BMW knows it.
Just a quick update on this problem. Among my circle of friends we have five post-update E46 sedans. Four of them have had tail light, turn signal, brake light failures all caused by BMW's screw up when they updated the tail lights: not enough grounding wire(s). See the BMW service bulletin SI B 63 03 06 on this at the link below:
Since the ne'er-do-wells at "Screw The Customer" BMW NA Customer Service (an oxymoron) have never heard of Ralph Nader, we're going to give 'em a little help. The nice folks over in Washington D.C. have these things called Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and EVERYONE selling cars here has to meet them for ten years after a car or truck is built. That means if our lights have design defects (they do), BMW is under potentially criminal liability to fix the things with a safety recall at NO cost.
BMW's service bulletins basically say, "Only fix the cars under warranty; screw everyone else for whatever you can get away with so you can buy a bigger boat." WRONG ANSWER BMW!
The ball is in motion on this; more later. For now, BE SURE TO SAVE ALL YOUR RECEIPTS IF YOU HAD YOUR STEALER RAPE YOU FOR $400 (per side) TO FIX BMW'S LIGHTING SCREW UP.
I expect to see something in a few weeks so hang in there

New Delhi, Feb. 8: Sharad Yadav today blamed "some corporate houses" for stoking the debate on the NDA's prime ministerial candidate and warned them not to "play with fire", baring the Janata Dal (United)'s discomfort over Narendra Modi's purported projection for the top post.
"Some corporate houses are trying to fuel a debate on the NDA's prime ministerial candidate. They should not play with fire. I urge them not to play politics and stop the search for Prime Minister," the JD(U) chief said. He did not name Modi or the corporate houses.
The remarks have come a day after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat hinted he could endorse Modi. Earlier this week, the Gujarat leader's speech at Delhi's Sri Ram College of Commerce was seen as a pitch for his prime ministerial ambitions.
Today, Yadav, also the NDA convener, asserted the NDA was the "competent forum" to take a decision. "The NDA has not discussed the issue. It will be decided after talks with the BJP."
Yadav's party colleague and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has already signalled the end of ties with the BJP if Modi is projected.
Cong cautious
The Congress has decided not to lock horns with Modi at this stage and ignore him till he is formally declared the candidate of the BJP or the NDA.

The Norquest family immigrated to their farm site in 1925 as part of a larger wave of Midwestern immigrants to the Lower Rio Grande Valley. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Valley also experienced an influx of Mexican migrants in search of opportunity and work. They joined their Mexican-American counterparts laboring as agricultural workers on the farms of Anglos and Texas-Mexicans. Some of these individuals found their way onto the Norquest farm site. This multidisciplinary report posits a nuanced way of looking at human-land interaction on a farmsite in South Texas, where racial and class conflict existed, but where, in certain pockets of exception, people from culturally different backgrounds came together to labor and laugh in order to make ends meet.

Looters strike flooded towns
Looters have started raiding abandoned Emerald houses.
Photo: Paul Harris
Emerald residents returning home to mop up after disastrous flooding are facing another obstacle with reports of looting from inundated homes.
A release from the Queensland Police Service yesterday said officers are currently investigating five reports of breaking and entering into flood affected homes since Tuesday.
Throughout Emerald rumors are spreading that looting has been even more widespread.
"I've only heard what the rumor mill has said so I don't know if it is true or not," Emerald resident Joe Chapman said.
"All I've heard is that they think there was someone broken into over in Riverview but I don't know the exact details."
Michael Keen, who evacuated from his home during the floods, heard about the apparent looting but so far his flooded home has been untouched.
"I've been back to my house a couple of times to check it out and now we are just waiting for the all clear to go back in," he said.
"There have been no attempts on my place and none on anyone I know but I have heard there have been hoons going around knocking stuff off."
Long-time resident Jones Colin also heard about looting but said he has only so far suffered attacks from thieves of the winged variety.
"I heard from a couple of the council boys that there had been a bit of looting over on the west side of town," he said.
"I got cleaned up last night or this morning but there was only a full pouch of tobacco and four packets two minute noodles so I think it was some of the black feather variety.
"I think it was crows."
Matt Fisher's home escaped being inundated by about 200mm. He told brisbanetimes.com.au that he had friends whose properties were damaged, apparently by vandals or thieves, during the flood.
"I had a mate who had one of his front lights damaged," he said.
"Someone smashed his light and he is down the end of a cul-de-sac so he is worried that someone broke that so they could be in the dark to do what they do.
"I haven't heard about it [looting] but normally it doesn't take long to get around town."
Emerald Shire mayor Peter Maguire reacted angrily to the reports
of looting.
"I think people that do that sort of stuff are the lowest form of scum,'' he said.
"People are in dire straits and can't get to their property, and then people go out and, I don't know exactly what's happened, but people are taking advantage of those who are in those sort of situations.
"We'll tip them (the offenders) in the river, it's running fast enough to get rid of them.''
The main road into Emerald, the Vince Lester Bridge, is set to remain closed until at least Sunday afternoon while engineers wait for the Nogoa River to fall low enough for them to inspect the underside of the roadway.
The river, which peaked at 15.4m on Tuesday night, is falling at a frustratingly slow rate, still at 14.85m at 3pm (AEST) yesterday.
Australia Day celebrations have been cancelled in the town, with the venue still under four metres of water.
However, Emergency Management Queensland (EMQ) spokesman Andy Christie said the community spirit is strong, with those who escaped flood damage responding to the aid of those in need.
Supplies are currently being transported to isolated areas around the region, particularly the Gemfields district, with refrigerated trucks delivering milk, eggs, bread and other essentials to stranded locals.
Farmers along the Nogoa have lost at least $80 million in damaged crops, infrastructure and livestock.
At the moment residents said they were more concerned about the after effects of the flooding such as the foul smell of mud deposited by floodwaters and swarms of insects which have been breeding in stagnant pools of water.
"The stench outside is probably the worst thing, everything is just covered in mud and it just smells like a swamp," Mr Fisher said.
Rockhampton is expected to be the next town to experience flooding with river levels predicted to rise over the Australia Day weekend. Celebrations originally scheduled for the holiday have also been cancelled.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd came to the assistance of those in
disaster-declared areas, allowing individuals to access grants of
up to $10,000, and businesses up to $25,000, to clean up and
restock, under Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements
The Queensland government also opened the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal with a $100,000 donation.
The public can donate at any branch of the Commonwealth, Westpac, National Australia and ANZ banks.

ACURA Calendar
Poster Preparation Workshops. All ACURA students and faculty are required to attend two poster preparation workshops that describes best practices for creating an effective poster for presentation at local and/or national conferences. These sessions include instruction on how to use the PowerPoint poster template, creation of a research abstract, how to present effective graphs, data and results, and the writing of compelling yet concise text and concluding remarks.
ACURA Week celebrates and showcases the year's research accomplishments and creative activities from the three academic divisions of Arts and Humanities, Science and Engineering, and Social Sciences. At the Annual Poster Fair the student projects are displayed in poster format to the campus community. Students and faculty informally discuss the findings with the student researchers. Also, faculty judges circulate and interview the student researchers and determine the best student projects from each academic division that will later compete in the Fall Colloquium (see below). Other activities may include literary readings, art exhibitions, dance and musical presentations, and research lectures by faculty speakers.
Informational Meeting. Prospective ACURA students and faculty research mentors meet to discuss the year's upcoming ACURA program. Faculty mentors describe their research activities to the students, then informally discuss their project concepts with interested students as a means for students to find a research mentor and/or join a research team that fits well with their academic interests.
Fall Colloquium. The student researchers who were selected by the poster fair judges as producing the best posters are invited to present their findings in a lecture format to the campus community. During the Colloquium the student researcher gives a fifteen minute lecture using PowerPoint and then answers questions of the audience. The winner of the Fall Colloquium lecture may be awarded travel with their faculty mentor to present their findings at a national conference if the work is accepted by the conference's review panel.

LA Phil Composer Fellowship Program: Sharon Hurvitz | San Marino
Applications for the upcoming Composer Fellowship Program session are due May 31, 2015. Visit http://www.laphil.com/CFP or email email@example.com for more information. Young composer Sharon Hurvitz is a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Composer Fellowship Program's Class of 2015. The assignment given to these young composers was inspired by Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, From the New World, the musical journal of his time in America. To mirror Dvořák's rich exercise, the Fellows were asked to discover their own "new worlds" in neighborhoods they had not yet explored in Los Angeles and respond to them physically, intellectually and emotionally through new musical compositions. Sharon's piece is based on the San Marino area of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Philharmonic's Composer Fellowship Program bridges the gap between exceptional high school-aged composers and the greatest composers of today. A unique offering among American orchestras, this innovative, multi-year program offers passionate high school composers an extremely high level of consistent, intense focus on the process and production of music composition, giving them the tools and freedom to shape the future of concert music.

CARSON CITY — The Nevada Legislature doesn't convene until February, but proposed bills are already piling up — from raising the speed limit to letting dogs in bars to repealing term limits for elected officials.
As of Tuesday, there were 138 requests for bills to be drafted. Many are measures that failed in the 2013 Legislature, during which 1,152 bills were introduced.
Sen. Don Gustavson, R-Sparks, plans to reintroduce a bill to allow raising the speed limit on rural interstates from 75 mph to 85 mph. Last year, the bill made it through the Senate but died in the Assembly.
Sen. David Parks, D-Las Vegas, is planning to introduce a death-with-dignity bill that would allow patients near death to be prescribed lethal pills that they would take themselves.
Assemblyman James Ohrenschall, D-Las Vegas, is proposing a "Nevada Right to Try Law" to allow terminally ill patients access to experimental therapies and medication.
Sen. Tick Segerblom, D-Las Vegas, wants a bill to repeal term limits for state and local elected officials.
Under a bill requested by Sen. James Settelmeyer, R-Minden, bar owners would be given the option of allowing dogs on the premises.
Assemblyman Ira Hansen, R-Sparks, is asking for a bill to exempt home-based businesses with an annual gross income of $60,000 or less from having to obtaining a state business license.

Ticks don't get no respect. But paddlers can't avoid them. And not only are ticks, well, unesthetic, they also carry disease. That's enough to tick any paddler off. Still, they're here to stay. We'll just have to adapt, so Tamia passes on a some tips for living with ticks.
May 17, 2005
Updated June 7, 2016
I'm just lucky, I guess. I've never knowingly played host to a tick, despite having spent my whole life exploring waterways, mountains, and fields in some of the best tick country in North America. (NB: That was true when this column first went to press, but 11 years later my luck ran out.) And for a long time I never gave ticks much thought, either. Not until Lyme disease hit the headlines, that is. Suddenly, ticks were big news. They still are. As the world warms up, tick‑borne diseases are being seen in places they haven't been noticed before. Now, with summer just around the corner and the paddling season well under way, it's time to get to know the enemy better.
Ticks are arachnids, near kin to mites, spiders, and scorpions. Seen from above, a tick looks a lot like a diminutive plastic guitar pick, with its head at the pointy end—ideally located for getting under your skin. But you'll need to have keen vision to look a tick in the eye. Few adults grow longer than half an inch, and many are much smaller, down to an eighth of an inch or even less. They're not flashy dressers, either. Ticks have learned that it doesn't pay to advertise. Camouflage colors like brown and blue-black are their usual fashion choice. And where can you expect to find ticks? Almost everywhere, from the seacoast to the mountains, though they're particularly fond of brushy and wooded areas. In other words, ticks hang out in the same places that canoeists and kayakers do, and chances are good that you'll meet one of these little bloodsuckers up close and personal someday. That being the case, let's take a look at…
Ticks are out for blood. Your blood. It's nothing personal. It's just part of their job description. Both males and females need blood to grow up big and strong. In fact, females can't lay eggs without a blood meal. But ticks don't spend all their time eating. They get around, spending only a part of their lives on their hosts. Baby ticks—tick larvae—hatch from eggs deposited on tangled grass stalks or similar sheltered places. And if adult ticks are small, baby ticks are miniscule, no larger than a grain of sand. They grow up fast, though, heading for the top of the nearest stalk just as soon as their infant bodies harden in the air. There they wait patiently with outstretched legs to hitch a ride on the first warm-blooded creature to pass by. Then, having climbed aboard a suitable host, they lose no time in locating a good feeding spot and getting stuck in. Their first meal is a memorable one, often taking days to complete. At last, however, they're bloated with blood and ready to leave the table. They don't wait for the check. They just drop to the ground and spend the next month or so quietly digesting what they've eaten.
The larvae put on weight in the process, molting and emerging as "adolescent" nymphs. The nymphs then hitch a ride on a second host, once again gorging themselves to repletion and dropping off. This time around, though, they emerge from their postprandial nap as adults. Sex now replaces food as the most important thing in their lives, and their next blood meal is followed by an orgy. Soon each mother-to-be is looking for a place to deposit thousands of fertilized eggs. Then she dies.
Talk about candles in the wind.
By now you know what our part in all this is. Guess who's coming to dinner. There's just one question left to ask: When can we expect our uninvited guests to arrive? The answer depends on where we're paddling. Local weather conditions play an important role, too. In North America, you'd better plan on having ticks dropping by for a meal anytime from ice-out to the first frost in autumn, with late spring and early summer probably being the peak season.
What's that? You say you'd rather not play the obliging host? Then you'd better learn a few…
Nobody likes to find a tick enjoying a meal at his expense. That's why no Chamber of Commerce puts images of engorged ticks on its website, and why you won't find any pictures of these little charmers alongside the seagulls, lighthouses, and blood-red sunsets on the postcards in seacoast shops. Still, the real problem with ticks isn't their esthetic shortcomings. It's their eating habits. They suck blood, right? That makes them mobile hypodermic syringes. They also play the field, taking hosts as they come. We've all heard of the problems associated with shared needles. There's no better way to spread disease. It won't come as much of a surprise, then, that tick-borne diseases (TBDs for short) are a growing problem, especially now that more and more people are spending time—camping, canoeing, kayaking, even building vacation homes—in tick country. Giving your host a present is only good manners, of course, but the gifts that ticks give us are the sort that most folks would just as soon forego. They include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia (aka "rabbit fever"), relapsing (tick) fever, and erlichiosis. Some of these are familiar names, already the stuff of headline news. The rest soon will be.
Want to learn more about TBDs? You should. First, talk to your doctor. She may have some useful handouts. The "Patient Page" in the Journal of the American Medical Association is also worth a look. You'll find the link on the JAMA website. Then get a good book. The latest edition of Medicine for Mountaineering has an excellent section on tick-borne disease. Lastly, don't overlook the pamphlets published by many state and provincial departments of natural resources. They, too, repay the effort of seeking them out. In the meantime, here's a life-size portrait of the enemy, as exemplified by Ixodes scapularis, the common deer tick and the Lyme disease vector.
With more than 20,000 new cases reported annually in the United States, most of them in the Northeast and Central Midwest, Lyme Disease is the poster child of North American TBDs. If diagnosed early, it's eminently treatable, but if neglected it can progress through three increasingly unpleasant stages, culminating in debilitating and intractable systemic illness. Worse yet, the only vaccine was withdrawn after less than four years on the market. Early diagnosis is obviously critical. Unfortunately, the characteristic bull's-eye rash at the site of the original bite is often absent or overlooked, and the poppy-seed-sized nymph—the most aggressive feeder—is difficult to spot during the one- to four-day period needed for transmission of the Lyme disease organism. The best defense, therefore, is the same as for other TBDs…
Clothes are your first line of protection. Shorts and sandals don't cut it in tick country. Long sleeves, long pants, and high boots are what you want, and light-colored fabrics are a plus. (Wellies are great when ticks are on the prod, but be sure to blouse your pants or tuck them in.) Gloves and hats make sense, too, particularly if you're fond of bushwhacking.
What if covering up doesn't appeal? That's understandable. Hot, humid summer days certainly make long pants and rubber boots less than attractive. Then you'll have to resort to chemical barriers. Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) insect repellents also repel ticks, though DEET isn't without drawbacks and dangers of its own. It attacks some plastics and synthetic stretch fabrics, and high concentrations probably shouldn't be applied to infants and young children. An alternative to smearing or spraying repellent directly on the skin is to spray it on clothes or onto a "bug suit," a light mesh coverall which is then pulled over your other clothing. But impregnating garments with DEET is a tedious business, and the treated fabric is extremely flammable until thoroughly dry. Moreover, the whole process has to be repeated every week or so, and after every heavy rain. That's too much trouble for many paddlers. Instead, they squirt insect repellent onto the cuffs of their shirts and pants and daub it onto a bandana that they then drape around their necks. It's better than nothing.
But wait! Technology may have the answer. A new line of outdoor apparel with a catchy name promises to make the job easier—at a price. It carries the idea of impregnated clothing one step further. The catalog copy claims that BUZZ OFF™ garments offer "reliable, proven protection from mosquitoes, ticks, no-see-ums and other biting insects," while also reassuring buyers that the "odorless and invisible…treatment is bonded to the clothing." So "there's no need to keep applying messy sprays." OK. The ad copywriter thought ticks were insects. They're not. Still, the rest of the pitch sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Yes. But.… That "invisible treatment" is permethrin. It's an insecticide, not a repellent, and it's also toxic to fish. Moreover, the stuff apparently does come out in the wash, a little bit at a time. (The ad copy says only that the treatment lasts "through 25 washings.") Not so good. What goes down the drain ends up in the river. And at a time when every week brings news of yet another assault on the world's aquatic ecosystems, I'm not eager to add to the problem. That means no BUZZ OFF™ for me. Of course, if you live in tick country you may feel differently.
In any case, whether you opt for nothing more than long pants and high boots or go the high-tech route, every defense, no matter how cleverly contrived, will fail sometime. That's when you'll have to tackle the enemy one on one. The mission objective is simple:
If you've spent the day deep in tick country, portaging through the bush, you have one more chore ahead of you when you make camp. Ticks are slow movers, even when they're hungry. It takes a while for them to settle down to a meal, and it takes even longer for any pathogens circulating in their systems to cross over into yours. Remove the tick before this happens and you've won the battle.
But you have to find the enemy first. It won't be easy. Ticks are shy. They like cozy, sheltered places—places like your armpits, crotch, and backside. Unless you're a contortionist with a magnifying mirror, you'll need the help of a friend. A good friend. This is no time for false modesty. Be prepared. And finding the tick—not an easy job if it's a nymph the size of a poppy seed—is just the beginning. If it's already stuck in, you've got to get it out. The medical literature isn't much help here. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommend "relaxing" the tick's mouthparts by touching it with a hot needle (or by daubing a little camphor, alcohol, turpentine, or kerosene onto its body) before grasping it with tweezers and backing it out. Good luck. While this advice is echoed by some authorities, it's condemned by others and ignored by still more. Medicine for Mountaineering disdains detail, telling you only to extract the offending beastie "carefully" with tweezers and clean the wound afterward. That sounds simple enough, I suppose. But ticks dig in, remember? Sometimes there's precious little visible tick to grasp. What then? Farwell, who's played host to my share of ticks as well as his own, has none too pleasant memories of field surgery with a variety of less than ideal tools, including a government-issue P-38 can opener (the type fondly known as a "John Wayne"). His only printable comment echoes the advice in Medicine for Mountaineering: be careful. Since ticks often head for your tenderest bits before chowing down, think twice before cutting too deep. In fact, think twice before cutting at all. If you can't do the job safely, it's time for professional help.
At least there's one thing everyone seems to agree on—crushing a newly removed tick between your nails is a bad idea. Flick it into the fire, instead, or drown it in alcohol. Then wash the bite. Later, if you notice an infection at the site or an unexplained rash, or if you experience flu-like symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.
It's time to put things in perspective. Yes, ticks bite people and carry disease. And few of us find them attractive. But every year more than three-quarters of a million people require medical attention because of dog bites in the United States alone. That's over 2,000 dog-bite victims a day, or 60,000 a month—nearly three times the number of reported cases of Lyme disease in the latest year for which data is available. You don't let your neighbor's dog keep you a prisoner in your house, do you? So don't let ticks keep you sitting at home. But don't let them play you for a sucker, either. They're here to stay. Unless you never venture away from a paved parking lot, you're bound to meet up with one sooner or later. Be ready. Get to know your enemy, dress sensibly, check yourself and your companions often for uninvited guests, and see a doctor whenever it's warranted. Where these little bloodsuckers are concerned, there's no easy option. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, whether you're on the beach or in the bush.
Now that's the ticket!

New Sale boss Bryan Redpath has challenged Sharks to put the record straight when they launch their new Aviva Premiership campaign in September.
The official unveiling of the 2012/13 calendar has handed Redpath and his players a hazardous first month to navigate.
Sale will open the new season with a testing trip to bogey side Exeter Chiefs and that's followed a week later by an eagerly-awaited inaugural league fixture at their new Salford City Stadium home against Saracens.
Given the fact Sale's third fixture sees them travel to reigning champions Harlequins and Redpath could have been forgiven for reaching for the aspirin when he scanned the Autumn schedule.
However, rather than a threat, the new director of rugby insists this toughest of starts represents a golden chance for his side to make a bold statement of intent.
"The opening fixtures will be tough but they also present a great opportunity for us," declared Redpath.
"The big thing for us is consistency. The more consistent you are, the better you tend to fare. In the past, Sale tended to have one good season and then a poor one, so we need to eradicate that and look to try and build some momentum."

JNF Raises $2.5 Million to Keep Israelis Safe
Donors Purchase 30 New Bomb Shelters, Four Fire Trucks & Support Numerous Projects

Donors Purchase 30 New Bomb Shelters, Four Fire Trucks & Support Numerous Projects

New York, NY: July 22, 2014 -- Jewish National Fund (JNF) today announced that since Operation Protective Edge went into effect on July 7, donors have purchased four new fire trucks, 30 mobile bomb shelters, and raised some $2.5 million for projects to keep Israelis safe.
"I couldn't be more proud of our donors who have shown deep compassion and empathy for our extended Israeli family during this crisis," said JNF Chief Executive Officer Russell F. Robinson. "We were able to respond quickly because we were already on the ground and when this is all over we will still be there," he added.
Jewish National Fund's emergency campaign has resulted in the purchase of 30 mobile bomb shelters for residents in the southern Israeli town of Halutza and other communities throughout the Negev Desert. Additional shelters have been ordered for residents in other area communities and JNF has received requests for more.
Many residents in these new communities are living in temporary homes as they wait to build their permanent residences and as a result do not have bomb shelters in which to seek refuge. The mobile shelters being delivered hold about 10 people comfortably and cost $30,000 each. American donors also purchased four brand new fire trucks for Israeli firefighters who have been around the clock extinguishing fires caused by rocket attacks. While each truck costs more than $300,000.00, JNF donors pay $125,000.00 towards the price.
The Saar, one of the most modern vehicles in the field of firefighting, can carry five persons along with assorted equipment and apparatus. Each truck weighs in at 15 tons of red fiberglass and is pulled by a 300 horsepower diesel engine. The trucks are capable of driving like a 4x4 over steep hills, rocks and ditches, and perfectly suited for the terrain of Israel's cities and surrounding forests.
"It's inspiring to see the commitment, friendship and solidarity of the community in the US and Jewish National Fund and the land of Israel. Thank you for your partnership with the fire and rescue services in saving lives," said Shiko Bar Dov, deputy commissioner of Israel's Fire and Rescue services.
Since the operation began, the Southern District's firefighting team has switched to working in emergency mode: dispatch stations were opened in various locations in order to reduce the response time to events and firefighters from stations in the center and the north were sent to reinforce their colleagues in the south. Firefighters are summoned to all areas of missile hits and work to extinguish fire bursts following rockets falling in open areas. This is all in addition to their routine rescues.
Overall, the $2.5 million raised is being used to purchase the bomb shelters, engage children in programs and activities to relieve their stress, and keep JNF's Indoor Recreation Center in Sderot open 24 hours a day to service 1,800 children and families. The Rec Center is outfitted with bomb shelters and provides children with a safe place to play, and others the comfort of a good night's rest.
Funding has also gone to JNF's partner Green Horizons youth leadership group, which has delivered activities for hundreds of children in bomb shelters, along with food and essentials; to extra professionals brought in to aid and care for people with severe disabilities at the Aleh Negev rehabilitative village; to JNF partner, The Society for Preservation of Israel Heritage Sites, which has given free admission at 60 sites across Israel; and to JNF partner LOTEM, that is taking people with special needs to Israel's northern areas and away from danger zones.
# # #
JEWISH NATIONAL FUND (JNF) began in 1901 as a dream and vision to reestablish a homeland in Israel for Jewish people everywhere. Jews the world over collected coins in iconic JNF Blue Boxes, purchasing land and planting trees until ultimately, their dream of a Jewish homeland was a reality. JNF gives all generations of Jews a unique voice in building a prosperous future for the land of Israel and its people.
JNF embodies both heart and action; our work is varied in scope but singular in benefit. We strive to bring an enhanced quality of life to all of Israel's residents, and translate these advancements to the world beyond. JNF is greening the desert with millions of trees, building thousands of parks, creating new communities and cities for generations of Israelis to call home, bolstering Israel's water supply, helping develop innovative arid-agriculture techniques, and educating both young and old about the founding and importance of Israel and Zionism.
JNF is a registered 501(c)(3) organization and United Nations NGO, which continuously earns top ratings from charity overseers.

[/quote] Ever heard of Janus, OP? One Man Two Sides THAT would shock people. If Christ and Lucifer are the same person. With two different sides. Just an idea I wanted to slip into your subconscious. [/quote] Thats something Ive been thinking too. Because I started to look for passages on the bible related to his birth date and I found one (the most, or maybe the only) passage in the Bible that could possibly be used to indicate what you just said. If you really know the bible and take the effort to look for it, of if you already know the profile of whom Im talking about, you dont need much to check the Bible. But most likelly just a coincidence. The Bible is such that you can be discussing any topic, open the bible and be able to connect with the topic being discussing most of the time. So not really important at a first glance. As I said, the first time I saw him, the first 2-5 seconds I was very frightened. Striking ressemblence to all the images ever made or conceived of Jesus Christ. Its the kind of thing that one things that if you made a test to people and said "take this picture, this is a computer generated picture of how Jesus Christ would look now, based on the Sudari Saint mantle" People would fall for it, like 90%. And then, when you read about the anti christ and how it WILL deceive people, I could not think of a better way to deceive people then to use this guy as a front. And then my gut feeling was like "Anti-christ!" and immedietly I made a theory about how the PTB would "create a problem, just so THIS guy could save us all and then start bringing peace". I cannot say exactly what I thought the plan would be for TPTB, because this still might be it and because I would give away the guy through what he is capable of doing. [/quote] scripture tells us Elisabeth (Marys cousin) gave birth to John in early spring,and Mary gave birth 6 moons later(SEPT) . . [/quote] Yes, if there is any paralelism to this again here (and there are many examples of paralelism/systematic interpretation on the Bible, its like its own lock and key) someone else is 6 months older or younger than the nobody/this guy. But I dont have any other "profile" to compare. But here is a question. Do you think that shortly before its return Christ will have not experienced life in the flesh of a man here on Earth? Even if its meant not to be known to man? Maybe its something only between God, him and the adversary? But then what calls my attention is that, if this guy is who I think it is, and knowing the possibility that he could get publicized widely... What if its not on the scriptures, so it cannot happen. The only possibility is that he is Elijah. When it refers to him, it says "the scribes did to him what they listed". So the scribes relates to TPTB in paralel. It also mentions that they went after him (Elijah) like they did with Jesus. So both were "persecuted" by TPTB. So could this happen or be happening again? Because the guy posting as the nobody said that the nobody he is talking about "[b][u]will be the future king of kings[/u][/b]". [/quote] The last day servant won't be [b][u]king of kings[/u][/b] he will be the [b][u]prince of Israel[/u][/b] because Jesus his father is the King Ezekiel 34:23-24 23 I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24 And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David shall be [b][u]prince[/u][/b] among them; I, the Lord, have spoken. [/quote] I was refering to the nobody who spoke in the 3rd person (bird in a branch), refering to the "Nobody": "this guy is the 'once and future king'" [/quote] Is this the guy you were talking about...? http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1998850/pg6 [/quote] No. Never heard of that one.

Ah, yes, I think my optimizations were off when building, or something. I didn't get such verbosity at first, and then I remember doing something slightly different and then getting a lot of output. I didn't pay attention to the build size. I will investigate. > It occurs to me that rather than an #ifdef symbol, it might be > appropriate to put the constant table into a separate .h file, > say pg_crc_tables.h, so that users would control it by including > that file or not rather than an #ifdef symbol.

In 1979, Sister Theresa Kane was given a very special task. As president of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, an umbrella group for most orders of U.S. Catholic nuns, Kane was asked to deliver four minutes of welcoming remarks, on behalf of American sisters, to the newly elected Pope John Paul II during his first papal visit to the United States. At a gathering inside the grand church in Washington, D.C., known as the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Kane offered the pope a warm greeting, and then launched into this:
As I share this privileged moment with you, Your Holiness, I urge you to be mindful of the intense suffering and pain which is part of the life of many women in these United States. I call upon you to listen with compassion and to hear the call of women...As women, we have heard the powerful messages of our church addressing the dignity [of] and reverence for all persons. As women, we have pondered these words. Our contemplation leads us to state that the church, in its struggle to be true to its call to reverence and dignity for all persons, must respond by providing the possibility of women as persons being included in all ministries of the church."

It's the Friday afternoon of Memorial Day weekend. A lot of people have already left the office to start their long weekend. Brilliantly sunny outside and I'm having trouble concentrating on writing about a a serious topic. So I share, in case you haven't seen it, Social Media Revolution (parody) created by The Poke and @madeupstats.
I have been a fan of Erik Qualman's Social Media Revolution video since the first time I saw it. It's a fabulous tool to use in client meetings, presentations and meetings with prospects. Social Media Revolution is short, impactful and the numbers blow your socks off. (Even the numbers in the older version).
I read Erik's book, Socialnomics, several years ago, enjoyed, found it informative and have recommended it ever since. If you haven't read the book, what are you waiting for? If you haven't seen the the original Social Media Revolution, you can find a short version of it here and the most recent and updated version here.
The parody is fun and silly. Certainly, as a Facebook friend commented yesterday, there will be people who see this and use it as evidence to support their dim view of social media in general, social media statistics in particular and who knows what else. There are still many people who do not accept that social media isn't a fad. Many people, some in influential positions within their organizations, who don't understand the impact these tools have had, and are having. So many people coming to the web and to social media and social networking every day–for the first time. It's true.
For the newcomers, the parody video? A parody. Skillfully done and entertaining. I was pleased to see that Erik Qualman had commented that he thought so too.
What do you think? Share it with your networks and see what they say. Do you need help adding social media to your marketing and public relations mix? We can help. Give us a call at 419.740.1262 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
And then, take a moment, as I will, in celebration of Memorial Day itself, to give thanks to our nation's veterans: those who are with us and those who have left us with their memories. We are grateful for your service.
Allen Mireles is president of Allen Mireles Marketing, a an integrated marketing and social media consultancy in Toledo, Ohio. You can find Allen on Google+ and Twitter.

Looks like "Budweiser DAVE" from the Loge won't be seeing me this year. So far, no "JUST SATURDAY" Plan. Hey Kingman, How are you and the Loge 13 gang making out? Any Luck???
We former Loge 13er's have relocated to the Caesars Club!! Back on the first base / right field side of the park too. Section 308, rows 7 & 8. Hot stuff!!
My mother was tranferred to another stand but the judge misunderstood. The 40 year old helper stayed. He sold the beer and my mother took the money. She could only go as fast as the 490 year old gave out the beer. They both should have been taken off the stand. As we all know during intermission all stands especially beer stands have long lines. This is in all ball parks. After we filed an EEO complaint that is when ARAMARK tried to cover it up by having a 75 year old work with the 40 year old.
We will appeal it to the cours get it right.

Tickets for the previously announced Dave Matthews Band concerts at
Citi Field Friday, July 16 and Saturday, July 17 will go on sale
tomorrow Friday, February 26 at 10 a.m. online at www.507TIXX.com and
by phone at 718-507-TIXX.
Dave Matthews Band will be the second artist to perform at Citi Field
following Paul McCartney's historic three sold-out shows in July 2009.
The Grammy Award-winning group is touring Europe in support of its
album, "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King," its first studio album in
four years.
The Mets are continuing their musical tradition of hosting some of the
biggest acts in music that began with the Beatles' legendary musical
christening of Shea Stadium in 1965. The former home of the Mets hosted
acts including Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, the Police, the Rolling
Stones, and the Who. Paul McCartney and now Dave Matthews Band are
keeping the rock-n-roll spirit going at the Mets' new home.
The shows will be held rain or shine and are promoted by Live Nation
I find it interesting that Live Nation (TicketBastards evil twin) is actually sponsoring, yet letting the Mets (507-TIXX) sell the tickets... Wonder what the cut is.
Regardless, its nice to see more and more stadium concerts at Citi. We didn't see nearly as many at Shea towards the end of her life. I wonder if it had to do with the Mets lease with the city, and not wanting the field mucked during a long road trip, or does it have to deal now with the Mets having absolute control over their domain, and actually getting a cut instead of the City.
Right there with ya.
PS - I'm posting this a day early as I'll be away from the InterWebs the next several days.
Kong, I have to totally disagree with you on this. Jacobs has proven himself to be unworthy of a spot on any major league roster, let alone given a shot at a starting job. I mean he flunked with the Royals!
He strikes out a ton, never walks and has a terrible glove and range.
On the other hand....he'd fit right in!

Celebrating special occasions when a loved one is no longer living can be difficult and painful.
Since her mom, Ann Ryan, died from lung cancer in 2006, Helen Williams has had to rely on the fond memories of her mother for every one of those moments throughout the year.
Around two years ago, a thought implanted in those reflections began to sprout up. Williams began thinking of a way she could more demonstrably make the legacy of her mother live on.
Friday, in honour of the Mother's Day weekend, that seed finally flowered. A collection of children's books purchased by the Corner Brook Public Library out of funds donated by Williams in her mother's memory was launched.
The $500 donated by Williams is just the first of an annual commitment she says has no end date.
Williams lives at the NATO base in Stavanger, Norway, where her husband, Lt.-Col Richard Williams of the Canadian Armed Forces is stationed.
She volunteers her time with children at the library there and, every time those kids come in for story time, Williams thinks of her own mom.
"It finally came together and I felt really good about it," she said in a phone call from Norway on Friday, just hours before the "Ann Ryan Collection" was unveiled at the Corner Brook Public Library.
"I wanted to make a commitment to something with my mom's name on it that would have meant a lot to her — spending time with children."
Williams has left it up to the library as to what material will be included in the collection and what will be added to it in the future. All of the material, though, will indicate it is in Ann Ryan's memory.
"I just wanted it to be for children who were still young enough that they still needed their mothers or fathers or loved ones to read to them," said Williams of her only request about the material.
In fact, one of Williams' earliest memories is of her mother reading to her.
"I just wish I could hear her voice one more time," she said.
Ann Ryan still has plenty of family in the Corner Brook area, including her husband Mike Ryan. She will be remembered as being at her happiest, said Williams, when spending time with her family, friends and especially her grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Her daughter said there are also lots of people who will remember Mrs. Ryan from when she worked at Mike's Chicken Villa and Leo's Pizza in the Valley Mall.
Having a military family makes it hard for Williams to come to Corner Brook to visit her mother's gravesite. It will be at least another year before she might get back home and get to see the new collection herself.
"That will be my first stop," she said.
