Welcome back message from our Director, Pino Tassone
Dear Staff ~
Welcome back to another amazing year in Thunder Bay Catholic Schools. I hope you had a great summer.
Our work together this past year brought progress on many fronts. Now, with the start of the 2017-18 school year, we have new opportunities to improve the lives and futures of the children we serve.
This year, we will be asking staff to "Renew the Promise", which is the theme for all Ontario's Catholic schools. According to the Institute for Catholic Education (ICE), "Renewing the Promise" is a dialogue. Our mission for Catholic education has not changed, but our context has changed profoundly. We need to come together to better understand the challenges presented by an increasingly complex society today.
I pray that the Thunder Bay Catholic School Board staff, parents and students will continue to work closely together in a spirit of open communication, so that we continue to grow as a Christ-centred learning community.
Thank you for the energy and dedication that you bring to work every day.
I wish you a personally rewarding and successful school year!
God Bless,
Pino Tassone
Director of Education
Dear Parent, Caregiver, Participant,
The Healthy Kids Community Challenge Thunder Bay (HKCC TBay) is excited to announce the launch of the new "Fuel Stop" Canteen at Delaney Arena, which will offer a variety of healthy menu options from September to December 2017. We know healthy eating isn't easy these days - everywhere kids go they are bombarded with unhealthy, heavily marketed, processed foods. In order to grow-up healthy, kids and youth need to fuel their body with nutritious, whole foods and we believe places people go to be active should support their health. We hope you will be excited to try our new homemade menu items that feature fresh ingredients. We look forward to your support of this initiative to make rec centres places where the healthy choice is the easy choice.
During the time that the Fuel Stop Canteen is in operation, we strongly ask that you refrain from bringing in any outside food. This will be enforced at Delaney at all times. Throughout the pilot project, you will have the opportunity to provide your input about the Fuel Stop menu and what other options you'd like offered - via surveys distributed through our website, on social media and in-person at the Canteen. We hope you'll support our efforts to offer healthier, tasty options at the Delaney Canteen and look forward to offering you some free samples during the week of September 5-8th. Don't forget to join us for a FREE public skate at the Fuel Stop launch on Saturday September 9th from 12-1:30pm. See you then!
The HKCC TBay Team
We would like to remind you that Elementary and Secondary schools are open for registration during regular school hours.

Catholic schools are a successful part of publicly funded education in Ontario. Our schools and school boards consistently meet or exceed provincial expectations in student achievement, program delivery, class size and character development. Our curriculum is purposely designed to produce graduates with good moral character who are responsible citizens, caring family members and collaborative contributors to the common good of Ontario's society. These are values that we celebrate and share with all Ontarians.Learn More
They say it takes a village to raise a child. In this case, it is taking the efforts of an entire region to address a very serious issue in our schools. Eight district school boards in the Thunder Bay Region are working together to address a problem that is having a profound effect on student achievement – persistent student absenteeism. The "HERE" attendance campaign was launched at the Spring meeting of the Northern Ontario Education Leaders (NOEL) on Tuesday, May 9. The campaign was designed to build awareness around the attendance issue in Northwestern Ontario and to provide communications support tools to Boards and schools to help improve attendance.
According to data collected in the 2013-14 school year, students in the Thunder Bay Region (from Kenora to Manitouwadge) had the highest rates of persistent absenteeism in the province. Students are considered persistently absent if they miss 10% of the days they were expected to be in school. In the Thunder Bay Region, the rate of persistent absenteeism was 21.6%. A recent study, Every School Day Counts: Persistent Absenteeism in Ontario, 2016, indicates students who miss an average of two days per month in elementary school stand a 60% chance of dropping out in grade nine, potentially impacting their opportunities for success in the future.
"While the reasons for student absences are diverse and varied across the region, the issue of persistent absenteeism is creating significant consequences for both students and schools," says David Tamblyn, Director of Education for Superior Greenstone District School Board and NOEL Representative. "If the absenteeism trend is allowed to continue, this issue will greatly impact students and their ability to achieve and prepare for their futures. The time to act is now. "
The reasons for persistent absenteeism across the region are diverse and varied and can include:
Persistent absenteeism is a multi-faceted issue that affects diverse groups of students and families. In order for solutions to be effective, they must be focused towards sparking action amongst key influencers including students, parents, school, staff and the community at large.
"Fortunately, the eight district school boards are HERE for our students and their families," says Tamblyn. "We recognize that there is a not a one size fits all solution to solve the issue of persistent absenteeism and we have worked collaboratively to develop a campaign with communications resources that can be used in all parts of the region."
The HERE campaign is supported by the development of the HERE website – heretoolkit.com. School board and school staff will be able to log into the site and access the following resources to support their efforts to address attendance issues within in their Boards and schools:
The HERE website will also provide background information on the issue of persistent absenteeism, guidance on how to use the resources, a section for school staff to share best practices on improving attendance and a section where school staff can receive answers to questions about the HERE campaign. In addition, each NOEL Board will receive a special Here Toolkit Box containing posters, buttons, jump drives loaded with resources including the video and special HERE lanyards.
"The efforts to address persistent absenteeism does not start and end with the HERE attendance campaign," says Colleen Kappel, Lakehead Public Schools Superintendent of Education and HERE Campaign Team Member. "Through the Managing Information for Student Achievement (MISA) initiative, we have also started a persistent absenteeism research project with a Lakehead University Researcher to take an in-depth look at the issue and the related causes and effects. It is anticipated that the findings will provide the basis for further opportunities to address the issue."

One of the most prominent features of Seoul, South Korea is the Han River, which snakes through the heart of the city. A quick look at Google maps shows that some 30 bridges cross the river throughout the city, and if you saw last week's picture, you likely noticed that they, too, are an unmistakable aspect of Seoul's skyline. While on the train to check out the Lotte World Tower (the super tall building in the background), I spotted the bridge in the photo above, and took note of it as something to find later. As it turned out, it's REALLY hard to photograph the tower because of how tall it is, given its immediate surroundings…. so I decided to go find that bridge I had seen.
I didn't realize until I got back that this is the Olympic Bridge (올림픽대교), but it totally makes sense, given that it looks like a big torch! Construction started on the bridge in 1985 and didn't complete until 1990, two years after the Olympics in Seoul, BUT, the bridge stands 88 meters tall to commemorate the Games. Of the bridges I personally saw in Seoul, I thought this one was the neatest looking, and as an added bonus, you can see the giant building that I was trying to photograph AND they lit the bridge up with cool colors as the sun went down!

A great treat to have when fresh plums and apples are available. Great healthy treat for all the family.
With a little of imagination I finally made a beautiful seasonal plum jam tart with raw pastry and covered with raw chocolate.
The best thing about each season is all the new vegetables and new fruits. I went to my local organic market and I found some beautiful plums. I thought: mmm - I can eat them just like that or I can combine them with chocolate.
I hope you enjoy this recipe.
1.First prepare the jam. It's very easy: place pitted plum, diced apple, coconut palm sugar and mixed spices into a sauce pan. Add 1 tablespoon of water and cook on low heat. Stir often until everything is soft and can be mashed together (45 to 60 min). Leave it to cool down. (You will probably have more than enough jam for this recipe, but that's ok it goes great on toast.)
2.While the jam is cooking on a low heat, you can start to make the raw pastry. In a food processor crush the cashew into fine crumbs. Take a mixing bowl and mix lucuma powder, mesquite powder, salt, cacao powder and the crumbled cashews. Add the agave syrup and the melted coconut oil. With your fingers combine all ingredients and knead until a loose sticky dough forms. Divide the mixture in four. Take 1 portion and with your fingertips gently press to fill the base of your pie tin. Place the prepared tins in the freezer for 15 min.
3.Melt the raw chocolate using a Bain- Marie technique. (Put chocolate into a ceramic or glass bowl then sit this in a bowl of warm water)
Do not overcook your chocolate, keep ¼ of chocolate and add it at the end without the warm water under.
(Maretai raw chocolate recipe is for about 500g. I usually make one batch, use what I need for a recipe and pour the left over into moulds for use another time. After the chocolate has set, keep it in foil or an air tight container in the fridge.)
4. Sift 25g of Cacao Powder to avoid lumps, and incorporate into the Butter/Agave mix until it is evenly mixed and uniform. While working on your mix, you can keep the bowl submerged in warm water to make sure you keep the appropriate temperature.
5.Everything is ready to be assembled. Take the prepared tins out of the freezer, pour in the plum jam filling, then add one tablespoon of melted chocolate and roll the pie dish around to thinly cover the jam. (Add a little more chocolate to make sure that you cover all the jam). Place 3 cashew halves on top to decorate. When you have finished all the tarts put them back to the freezer to set.
When you serve your tarts; using a sharp knife, run the blade around the edge and carefully lift the tart out of the tin. Keep them in the fridge up to 5 days. If you have some extra melted chocolate, you can make yourself a real hot chocolate, you deserve it after all this hard work…

The Miami Dolphins have several well-defined needs entering free agency and the draft. Getting a running back who can handle the load should be on the team's radar. Miami was 26th in rushing last season and Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas were not the answer.
One potential solution is for the Dolphins to wait until the second round of the NFL draft to select a running back. This is not a top-heavy class at the position. But there are some opportunities to get good value at tailback after the first round.
Miami holds the No. 50 overall pick in the second round. Here are several quality college tailbacks who could be available in May:
1. Carlos Hyde, Ohio State
2013 stats: 1,521 yards, 15 TDs
Analysis: Hyde is the highest-rated tailback in this draft, but he's not projected to go in the first round. In terms of production and ability, I think he's a steal for any team that selects him in the second round. Miami's second-round pick may not be high enough to get the Ohio State product. But Hyde fits the Dolphins because he's a burly back who is tough inside the tackles. He also has soft hands for a power runner.
2. Tre Mason, Auburn
2013 stats: 1,816 yards, 23 touchdowns
Analysis: Auburn has had a long line of successful tailbacks, and Mason is the next Tigers rusher entering the draft. His production is off the charts, and he nearly led Auburn to a national championship. On the flip side, one concern is Mason ran the football a lot in college and lost some tread on the tires. Mason has shown good vision and acceleration as a runner. The Dolphins need more big plays from their running game.
3. Jeremy Hill, LSU
2013 stats: 1,401 yards, 16 TDs
Analysis: Like Hyde, Hill is another big bruiser who has ideal size for the next level. He's durable, competitive and runs hard -- all things the Dolphins need in their backfield. However, Hill enters the draft with a lot of character issues that will drop his stock. He is reportedly on probation until next January. That may be enough to scare new Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey away, unless Hill drops to the middle rounds.

The Condition of Education Reports Show Gains in Higher Education Enrollment and Degree Attainment
June 4, 2009
More students than ever are entering postsecondary education, and a greater share of those who enroll are earning bachelor's degrees or higher, according to "The Condition of Education 2009." This new report, produced by the National Center for Education Statistics, finds that the share of high school graduates immediately enrolling in college jumped from 49 percent in 1972 to 67 percent in 2007, and total undergraduate enrollment increased from 7.4 million in 1970 to 15.6 million in 2007, and is projected to grow to 17.5 million in 2018. The share of adults age 25 to 29 who hold at least a bachelor's degree increased from 17 percent to 31 percent in 2007.
"The Condition of Education" is a congressionally mandated annual report that provides a portrait of elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education in the United States. Nine of the 46 indicators included in this year's report cover higher education enrollment, degrees conferred, student financial aid, faculty salaries, and postsecondary education revenues and expenditures.
Much of the gains in postsecondary access and success have come from sharp increases in the number of women entering and succeeding in higher education. The share of the total undergraduate student body who were women grew from 42 percent in 1970 to 57 percent in 2007, and the number of bachelor's degrees conferred to female recipients grew 33 percent, from 1997 to 2007. The total number of baccalaureates earned by all graduates grew 30 percent in this time span.
Increases in student financial aid, particularly aid funded directly by postsecondary institutions, helped fuel the rise in college enrollments and degrees. In 1992-93, about 17 percent of full-time undergraduates attending public four-year institutions, and 47 percent of those at private non-profit four-year colleges and universities, received institutionally funded aid. By 1999-2000, the respective proportions had increased to 23 and 58 percent. During this period, the average institutional aid award (adjusted for inflation) increased from $2,200 to $2,700 at public institutions and from $5,900 to $7,000 at private not-for-profit institutions.
While financial aid awards increased, faculty salaries were essentially flat in recent years. After adjusting for inflation, average pay for faculty members grew just 2 percent between 2000 and 2008. This compares with gains of 14 percent during the 1980s and 5 percent in the 1990s. In academic year 2007-08, the average faculty salary at four-year private non-profit doctoral-granting universities was $93,700, compared with $79,200 at public doctoral institutions and $59,600 at community colleges.
Revenues and expenditures of public and private non-profit higher education institutions saw shifts during the past decade. Tuition and fee payments grew from about 16 percent of total revenue at all public institutions in 2000 to 17 percent in 2007, while state appropriations fell from 24 percent to 23 percent. At all private non-profit colleges and universities, tuition and fee dollars increased from 25 percent of total revenue to 26 percent, while the share of total operating funds from private gifts declined from 14 percent to 11 percent. At both public and private non-profit institutions, spending on instruction was one of the fastest growing expenditure items during the past decade, followed by academic support and student services.
A full copy of "The Condition of Education 2009" is available.

|I stopped at a thrift store after running errands yesterday and found this perfect set of Cambridge Glass bridge glasses from the 1930's. These are quite rare because the glasses are very delicate and not many made it to 2017. These are in perfect shape without so much as a chip or crack. 11.99!

During my seventeen years of my life so far, I have been very lucky and fortunate to do some amazing things so I thought that I would share them with you guys. I'm very lucky to have been able to do these things in my life so far and I'm not trying to brag and boast at all. Let's get started.
Notable Things That I Have Done In My Life So Far
- Went to Dubai
- Swam with dolphins
- Travelled a lot (I have went to places in 4 different continents and went to places like America, Prague, Turkey, Tunisia, Tenerife and others. Also, I have had numerous holidays within the UK too.)
- Had a static caravan for 7/8 years at a local caravan park.
That's all that I can think of on the top of my head for now. I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope to see you again soon when I post next.

Cheeseburger is usually intake a lot of calories, even greater than your body need, but still a trick could make it much healthier for your while keeping your taste during weekends.
All you have to do is to avoid the #1 worst condiment served there and just about every other restaurant world-wide, which is ketchup, writes Josh Bezoni, Co-Founder, BioTrust Nutrition.
For one, almost all commercial brands of ketchup contain high fructose corn syrup, which has the worst carb ever putting your belly and body fat.
"I'd honestly rather eat a processed white-bread bun than to consume high fructose corn syrup. Not that either are a good choice, but the bun is definitely the lesser of two evils," Josh further wrote.
Josh suggested, rather another ingredient, which is much healthier than ketchup giving you the taste you want. It is Salsa!
All you have to do is to avoid dousing your burger with ketchup, but use mild salsa. This will make your burger wet as well as tasty besides keeping you away from sugar fat and high fructose corn syrup.
Salsa contains on average 1/3rd the calories and 8xs less sugar than ketchup.

Notwithstanding its distinctly theoretical approach, this tome excels with a substantial quantity of practical examples which illustrate the coherences [of the distribution] further.

That's not to say the book doesn't get technical. It provides a very well-written, soup-to-nuts explanation of how Debian is organized; how to install, configure and modify the system; and how to administer and secure it. Excellent and highly recommended.

Martin Krafft certainly "gets" the beauty of Debian, and he wants you to get it too, so he has written a very detailed exposition of the Debian code and community.

No publisher madduck 2006-02-01T17:05:05Z Voice Quote by Noel Davis, rootprompt.org http://blog.madduck.net/voices/davis_noel Can you imagine a book about Debian GNU/Linux stretching to 600 pages? No, not covering any of the applications that ship with Debian, nor delving into general configuration of, say, X or Samba. Just pure Debian; that is to say, the book covers Debian-specific utilities only, in densely printed pages with hardly any screenshots. Yup, a book like that has just been published under the name of The Debian System - Concept and Techniques. Written by Martin Krafft, this is one of the most comprehensive and detailed accounts of the largest Linux distribution in existence.

He makes basic as well as advanced topics readable without coming across as either condescending or cryptic. The terse footnotes are useful and supplement the text with interesting tips and resources. This is a technical book for sure, without fluff or off-topic detours, and it's packed with information. Still, Krafft manages to impart a personal feel by sharing his observations and balanced opinions. He delivers frank assessments of the strengths, weaknesses and eccentricities of a Debian system. In fact, the book even includes an appendix on how to decide if Debian is the right GNU/Linux distribution for you. No publisher madduck 2006-02-01T17:04:54Z Voice Quote by Abhijeet Chavan, Urban Insight, Inc. http://blog.madduck.net/voices/chavan_abhijeet_5 Krafft's explanations about the reasoning and motivation behind Debian's design and implementation have been invaluable. With the help of this book, I have discovered utilities I had no idea existed. In short, it has helped me become a more informed Debian user. The Debian System is essential reading for all Debian users. No publisher madduck 2006-02-01T17:04:54Z Voice Quote by Richard Bejtlich, Tao Security http://blog.madduck.net/voices/bejtlich_richard_2 Prospective TDS readers should understand that this book is unlike any I have read on operating systems. Readers will not have to skip pages on setting up Apache or configuring BIND, thankfully! Instead, TDS covers core system administration subjects to a degree I have not seen elsewhere. [...] Krafft takes readers on an inside tour of the how and why of Debian. Rather than just explaining a technique or tool, the author discusses the overall problem, possible ways to approach it, and Debian's solutions. He presents pros and cons for each, and then demonstrates usage with command line syntax and sample output. No publisher madduck 2006-02-01T17:13:30Z Voice Quote by Richard Bejtlich, Tao Security http://blog.madduck.net/voices/bejtlich_richard_3 Krafft is obviously a Debian enthusiast, but he is not a zealot blind to any flaws Debian might possess. He is also not afraid to praise other OS' (like NetBSD) or declare that certain misconceptions (think debconf) are invalid. When necessary he compares Debian tools or syntax to other Linux distributions, such as a chart on pp 200-201 on apt, yum, up2date, and urpmi. The book also contains a large number of footnotes with URLs for more research and additional commentary. No publisher madduck 2006-02-01T17:13:24Z Voice Quote by Richard Bejtlich, Tao Security http://blog.madduck.net/voices/bejtlich_richard_4 It is fair to say that Krafft's book has helped me decide to stay with Debian for systems that need to run Linux. I am confident that I can return to TDS when I need to solve problems, and be armed with a variety of options for doing so. I would love to see an equivalent book for FreeBSD!

Boris Talks About Finding Josh Baish's Ear After A Gig
Talk about an earful! Zing!!!
Pitchfork's kinda been all over Japanese noise rock act Boris' new release, Smile, which is released stateside today. And Josh Baish of Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios in Denton keeps finding himself mentioned in the copy.
Well, the story goes like this: Baish went to a Boris show in Marfa, got into a tussle, had a piece of his ear chewed off by an assailant, and, in turn, lost the ear. Later, when Boris was putting away its gear, band members found Baish's missing flesh. And then they kinda sorta wrote a song about it. Seriously. True story.
Only now, the band seems kinda sick of talking about it:
Pitchfork: So how did you and Takeshi decide to include that ear story into "Floorshaker"?
[Atsuo Mizuno]: [laughs] That song is an extension of "No Ones Grieve". It's kind of complicated but, when we finished the song, I had this vivid image of being in a desert in Texas and someone we knew was dancing in the distance but it was still vague as to who it was. But it was vivid and something that stayed with us. Separately, the image of finding this guy's ear on the floor was at the same time so vivid, we couldn't ignore it so we put it into the song. But recently I get asked this question a lot, and I'm asked whether the song is written to make up for the loss of his ear or whether it's an apology song. But it's not like that at all. We didn't write the song entirely for the guy; it was already written, and it's actually two different things, that were coincidentally related. It's just a coincidence and I hate it to be written, like, the other way around, I don't want it to be written like that, so let me set the record straight-- the guy lost an ear and we wrote a song separately [laughs]. But it's funny, I don't really know what to do. I thought it was over and done with, but now that everyone's written about it, it's gone beyond a beautiful story, it's more like a surreal comedy people can't believe now [laughs].
Pitchfork: Yeah, that story is everywhere.
Ooh, ooh! Here, too! --Pete Freedman

"In the aftermath of last month's rampage killing at a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, some members of the religion are considering arming themselves in order to defend against future attacks," businessinsider.com reports. No way! C'mon. Really? "I think that being able to legally obtain and carry a gun is the best thing any Sikh can do, especially after 9/11 where there have been over 800 documented cases of harassment and violence against us," Sim J. Singh told foxnews.com. As opposed to hundreds of thousands of cases of harassment and violence against Jews, African-Americans, OFWGs, Asians, gays and other Americans who aren't Sikhs? Anyway, gopher it. But why is Fox News searching the country for pro-gun control Sikhs? Check this . . .
Still, some Sikhs support stricter gun laws in the hope that it will prevent dangerous people from getting guns. Sim J. Singh and Rajwinder Singh both said that reliable background checks and some limits on firepower seemed reasonable. Others went further.
"A gun can harm somebody. I never even think about owning a gun," said Maninder Arora, a practicing Sikh in Hartford, Conn., who owns a Liberty Tax Services franchise.
"I know the gun lobby is strong. But at least they should put restrictions on the size of the gun, or the quantity of guns. My cousins — they have 3 or 4 guns, which is not right," he added, saying that he would rather put his faith in the legal system.
"We have a system where cops can arrive anywhere in a few minutes. In the [Wisconsin shooting] situation, the officer was there in about four minutes."
Gurdev Singh Mann, the president of a Sikh temple in Renton, Wash., agreed about gun laws.
"Gun laws should be more strict. When giving guns to people, it's better if we check with a judge, look at their behavior and everything," he said.
Not to put too fine a point on it: why should we care about a few of pro-gun control Sikhs in Connecticut and Washington state when the real story is about Sikhs in Wisconsin who WENT THROUGH HELL and decided that they DON'T WANT TO GO THERE AGAIN?
Needless to say, Fox ends with a pro-gun statement, grammatical errors and all. From the Gunshine State (Florida), 'natch.
Sim Singh, however, said that he personally carries a gun because he cannot rely on police arriving soon enough.
"Sometimes the police are not able to arrive in time," Sim Singh said.
"I do not believe stronger gun control is the right solution, as it ends up hurting the law-abiding citizens from having the option to defend themselves with guns when necessary."
How about ending with a quote from a Sikh who saw the end result of civilian disarmament up close and personal? Note to Fox: balanced doesn't always mean fair.
43 Responses to Gun Control Advocates: Sikh and Ye Shall Find
Good on them. I guess the four minutes it took for the cops to get there saved so many lives.
Hi, sikh religion considers weapons as saints. A sikh is not born a sikh but is born of actions.
Anyone calling for the restriction placed on weapons, and the ability for Sikhs to be battle ready is not a Sikh.
Please do not use our name in vain, thanks.
The cops response time was good enough. It's not like that many people died in the four minutes amiright!?!
Sim has it right. The Sikhs suffered much in their own country. Regardless of the slant of the media, the fact remains a few minutes is to long!
A person's reaction to a crisis or trauma is what truly exposes what kind of person he/she is.
Four minutes is a life time if your being raped, beaten to death, or shot at. Im sure most of these people have never even held a gun.
i choose to not be critical of the sikh's. instead i wish to encourage them to be proactive in thir own security. i watched the dash cam footage from the cop cars in the wisconsin shootings just today. except by a hopelessly outgunned but brave man the killer had free reign until after the first cop got there. and the first cop was shot down before he was able to influence the outcome any.
the sikh's should consider keeping rifles and shotguns at their temples to be accessed in an emergency.
Was at the range on Sunday and there was a Sikh gentleman who I hadn't seen before teaching his kid how to shoot. Is it weird to say it warmed my heart? I'm in pretty unfriendly territory as far as the 2nd amendment is concerned and I know it's not politically correct to say this but any time I see women, or really anybody who isn't a OFWG or a young white male (my club) out there shooting it's a rush. I count it as another person on the team. We're all in this together and it's so awesome to see gunners that break the stereotype. Has me believin' in this thing called America we got goin' on.
i'm an ofwg and i agree with you.
+1 Totally not weird. Especially when it's a father teaching his kids.
I'm glad it warms your heart. I encountered a Sikh at the range once, but he was not treated very well at all. In fact, he was gone within ten minutes. I think it's because many people assumed he was a Muslim (as if that should make any difference) because of the turban. For some reason people associate turbans with Islam, whereas in western countries it's almost certain that an individual wearing a turban is a Sikh.
That's our western ignorance for you. People completely uneducated in religion. Turbines are almost always sikh, which is probably one of the most peaceful religions in the world.
Sorry we are not peaceful, but we do not hurt innocents.
This shows a bunch of things, but to me, a somewhat devout Methodist, and from a vry clos minded regions, shows th underlying quality of th Sikh religion.
One thing most Sikhs take very seriously is their religious duty to protect all, regardless of religion, nationality, caste, etc. You can see this represented in the Indian armed forces. They make up a *massively* disproportionate number of soldiers, pilots, officers, etc. You can also see this at their temples. Regardless of who you are, you can always count on the fact that they will be happy to feed you and give you shelter at any time.
I live within 10 minutes of the Oak Creek temple. Some of the guys at the gun club I belong to provide training. At pistol league tonight one guy was saying a club member had been contacted to train 6 people at the temple for security purposes. Hopefully they are taking their own safety in their own hands.
Happy shooting, dv
"How about ending with a quote from a Sikh who saw the end result of civilian disarmament up close and personal?"
To what do you refer exactly? If the Sikhs were unarmed, it was their own choice, as Wisconsin law has always allowed open carry and there has been concealed carry for a year. Sounds like this temple has gottent he message that it is time to act on their rights.
The other day I saw a young Sikh family where the father and his young son were both wearing ball caps over their turbans. You could still see the turbans underneath but it was enough to blend in and I was impressed by their idea. Of course, at the same time I'm rather sad that they have to resort to cloaking their religion for fear of reprisal.
I don't believe they were cloaking their religion. Turbans don't have a visor. All the Sikhs I know are very open about their religion.
But yes, unfortunately we have a lot of ignorant bigots running around, but I have never know a scared Sikh either.
If they were wearing something on their turban that is not a weapon please inform local sikhs. It is against our code, as it is disrespectful to the crown.
Politicians with a Hero Complex who want the masses of sheeple to laud them as their modern saviors and protectors are actually very dangerous shepherds that strip away the self-reliance attitude and self-protective skills of the people to defend themselves from the wolves when they attack. The shepherds, as always, are away somewhere else when needed.
Ahimsa vs. Himsa. Schism in 3…2….1
The Sikhs were ruthless fighters for the British Empire. Consider pro-CCW Sikhism a software update rather than "an oppressed minority finally taking no guff" with all the implied smugness in that statement.
Also the first religious group to knock out a 747.
The War Nerd pays tribute to the ruthless religious Rambos here:
But at least they should put restrictions on the size of the gun…
So a S&W 500 is bad, but a Springfield (1911?) 9mm like the one used in Sikh temple shooting is ok?
History has proven the Sikhs to be great warriors and good on those who choose to carry on that tradition by supplementing the tried and true Katar with a firearm.
Stop with the imaginary hate crimes stuff.
The whining about getting maligned as a hate crime is ridiculous.
Conservative, Christian, Pro Life. Become that and you will truly know what its like to be maligned on national news every night.
Wow. It must be a really hard life to be a member of a group that makes up about half the country. How do you possibly manage such hardship?
Being trash-talked on the evening news is not a hate crime. A hate crime is, to begin with, a crime – under the federal statute, it must be a violent crime.
Wow, getting dissed on the news is equal to being shoot and killed by some racist ass white dude who thinks your a muslim. You sir are a complete and utter fool.
"We have a system where cops can arrive anywhere in a few minutes. In the [Wisconsin shooting] situation, the officer was there in about four minutes."
And some intruder can strangle you to death, cut your throat, bash your head in, or shoot you in the face in less than 30 seconds and be gone. My (un)sincerest apologies to all those in the anti-Second Amendment crowd, but there's no way in f**king hell I'm going to rely completely on someone else to ensure my and my family's safety when there's no guarantee that person will get there in time, whereas I can have my SIG out and ready to go in less than 10 seconds.
They should tell the Sikhs killed that it was OK because the cops were there in 4 minutes.
The pro-gun control Sikhs are violating a fundamental principle of Sikh culture, i.e,. protection of the innocent. A true Sikh carries the weapon that is approppriate for defending innocent lives. In the modern world that is a handgun.
"saying that he would rather put his faith in the legal system"
Maybe you should move to Chicago, D.C., NYC, or California. They have plenty of "legal system" for you. You should feel more than safe enough in any of those places.
What are the specific religious reasons that Sikhs carry the ceremonial knives (I don't know the name of the knife)
It's called a Kirpan. You can read the wikipedia article about it to get a better understanding, but it's part of their duty to be a "saint-soldier". They must first learn and practice the virtues of a saint. Then, when they are baptized, they carry the Kirpan as a reminder of their religious duty to defend the rights of all who are wrongfully oppressed or persecuted irrespective, of their colour, caste or creed.
Yeah thats what I thought….Sounds like their religion almost requires them to carry a gun.
It does it's after the Hindus betrayed the Sikhs and sold out their kingdom that the British took over and installed gun control.
Sorry for run kn, the five traditional weapons worn by sikhs are the musket, pistol, pike, sword, and bow arrow. Now days guns obviously. Give it about a decade the free sikhs state carved out of India will give you your information. 😛
Until now, I knew nothing about Sikhs other than that they're frequently mistaken for fundamentalist Muslims. I just now looked up some information (thanks, Internet!), and it turns out they've got a really impressive code of ethics going. I like the way these guys roll. As far as I'm concerned, America could use more people like them.
America needs to take away Nixon ban on beards in military. Roosevelt I think gave the quom (community) full blessings.
America and napolenic Europe were the Khalsa rule ' greatest allies.
Look up Alexander gardner soldier he was actually from Wisconsin. Died fighting with and for the Sikh kingdom.
Many westerners (whites) went back and died fighting when the British tried to invade the Sikh kingdom unsuccessfully
"Our English cavalry with their blunt swords were most unequally matched against the Sikhs with tulwars so keen of edge that they would split a hair…
I remember reading of a regiment of British cavalry charging a regiment of Sikh calvary. The latter wore voluminous thick puggries round their heads, which our blunt swords were powerless to cut through, and each horsemen had also a buffalo hide shield on his back. They evidently knew that the British sword was blunt and useless, so they kept their horses still and met the British charge by laying flat on their horses' necks, with their heads protected by their thick turbans and their backs by their shields; and immediately the British soldiers passed through their ranks, the Sikhs swooped round on them and struck back-handed with their sharp, curved swords, in several instances cutting our cavalry men in two".
(Sgt. William Forbes Mitchell (93rd Sutherland Highlanders)
Sikhs are one of America's best friends and that is no joke. The skinhead moron who committed this atrocity proved he was not only a bigot but a very stupid one at that.
Limit the number of guns? What's that going to do? It's not like they bring their gun collection with them, and they almost always act alone. So how does that help anything?
4 minutes is a very very long time for victims of a crime but 4 Minutes is a fast response time for police. However, response times aren't that fast in most parts of the country, geographically. If you're talking population density, that's a different story. But most of rural america has very long response times. There's a reason why almost every house in Montana has a firearm. You're lucky if police get there in an hour.
But at least they should put restrictions on the size of the gun, or the quantity of guns. My cousins — they have 3 or 4 guns, which is not right
I think seeing an actual three-gun competition might just blow this guy's mind.

LAMAR — Mansfield's girls pulled off the first upset of the 3A-4 District Tournament on Tuesday, coming in as a No. 5 seed and knocking out No. 3 Charleston, 49-36.
LAMAR — Mansfield's girls pulled off the first upset of the 3A-4 District Tournament on Tuesday, coming in as a No. 5 seed and knocking out No. 3 Charleston, 49-36.
Despite an up-and-down season, Mansfield (16-11) punched its ticket into the 3A Region 1 Tournament next week in Elkins and ended a long streak of regional appearances for Charleston (15-12).
"You never know at this time of the year," Mansfield coach Keith Dake said. "Last night, we played Two Rivers and barely won after beating them by 35 points the last time we played them. Then we come in here and have Charleston, who we lost to twice. We just played a lot better tonight."
Kaylie Pyles scored 24 points to pace Mansfield in the upset. Mansfield won the Bill Frye Invitational during the holidays against Paris but then struggled through much of the conference season.
"We had a little slump, like every team, every player has a slump," Mansfield's Erica McKay said. "But we knew we were capable of playing a lot better and tonight we did it. Going to regionals means everything because we want to go up there and win that first game and go to the state tournament."
Mansfield plays No. 2 seed Paris in the semifinals on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Mansfield came out strong from the opening minutes against Charleston, running out to a 9-2 lead. Mansfield led 21-15 at the half and 30-26 after three quarters.
Mansfield then took control to start the fourth with a 7-0 run. McKay hit a 3-pointer and Pyles' driving bucket made it 37-26. Charleston did not recover as Mansfield took care of the ball and made 12-of-14 free throws to ice it.
"We came out and play with a lot more heart, focus an intensity," Dake said. "That is a huge win for us because our girls had never beaten Charleston and we had to get over a little bit of a mental hump just to believe we could do it."
Paris 70, Danville 69 (OT)
BOYS — Matthew Fitzjurls knocked down two 3-pointers in the final seconds to help the Eagles pull off the upset.
Fitzjurls scored 12 of his 23 points in the OT. Jordan Forbis scored 17 before fouling out late in regulation and David Buchanan had 15.
"I told them during that last timeout, if we were down by two to look for the 3-pointer," Paris coach Mike Foster said. "Jordan was out of the game with fouls and I felt like we were running out of gas. We wanted to go for the win."
Fitzjurls winning 3 came with five seconds left in the overtime.
Jay Trusty had 31 points for Danville.
Paris (10-15) clinched a spot in regionals after struggling through most of the regular season.
"We are young, and I have been seeing us get better all year," Foster said. "We've lost a lot of close games and we have played some tough games against the best teams in this conference.

Customer Reviews
Always Excellent
Posted by Unknown on Jan 27th 2017
I have been buying watches from Watches.com for several years...always excellent, from customer service, to delivery...easy returns, if needed.
Outstanding Customer Service.
Posted by Unknown on Jan 17th 2017
I had an unfortunate thing happen with the links for two of the watches I ordered (the issue was with Nixon, not with watches.com just to be absolutely clear) and after being left stranded by Nixon I contacted Angela with watches.com who fixed the problem and was friendly and courteous the entire time. I would have 100% been busying the rest of my watches from them due to her efforts alone but on top of their customer service being outstanding, the products arrived on time and looked absolutely gorgeous when unpacked. 5 stars doesn't do them justice.
Excellent Service
Posted by Unknown on Mar 15th 2016
Excellent service. Product was as expected. Had to return however but pleased with their responsiveness.
Great selection of watches
Posted by Unknown on Feb 29th 2016
Great selection of watches, really good prices. Fast shipping is just as important to me when buying from someone. Watches.com has fast shipping, and good communications on that shipping. I would highly recommend watches.com to anyone who has a watch fetish. Thanks.
Great quailty and excellent price
Posted by Unknown on Dec 28th 2015
The price was so good that I was worried it would be something different than it appeared, but the watch was exactly what I had seen elsewhere for much more money. Great quality and excellent price. It was here lightening quick! I will definitely use watches.com again.

Victor Montgomery
Victor Montgomery III is an educator and an expert in Crisis Intervention, Suicide Rescue, Combat Trauma and Addiction Counseling. Vic believes in the client-centered value of heart-to-heart resuscitation'. He practices the style of counseling for eliciting behavioral change, helping veterans and active duty warriors examine and resolve the key issue of ambivalence. An increasing number of veteran combat warriors experience a 'wounded soul' and culture shock and therefore have returned home to their families with a unique set of mental and behavioral health distresses that need to be evaluated carefully. For many, the idea of suicide looms nearby. Mr. Montgomery is the author of Healing Suicidal Veterans Recognizing, Supporting and Answering Their Pleas for Help (New Horizon Press, October 2009); and seminar speaker and author of Life in the Balance Seminars designed for communities interested in understanding the dynamics of war trauma, the psychological wounds of war and what happens in the war zone. Vic demonstrates how to recognize suicide signs - symptoms and triggers, alcohol and drug addiction awareness and what family and friends can do to help a depressed and struggling vet. Vic enlisted for the Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego, California at the age of 18 and went through the advanced Infantry Training Regiment (ITR) combat training at Camp Pendleton as a 0311 'grunt', expert rifleman. This gung-ho 'leatherneck' served in the USMC from 1963 to 1967. He traveled across the "pond" (Pacific Ocean) in 1964 on the troop transport ship called the USS Mann and served 13 months overseas, initially stationed with 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Iwakuni Japan as military police base security and later received TAD orders to secure and support MAG and VMA air units flying Skyhawks and Phantoms out of DaNang and ChuLai Vietnam. As a Marine Corps veteran, and trained interventionist, Vic has worked with countless veterans and their families through VA crisis hotlines and out-patient clinics from California to New York. He received his Masters degree in Higher Education from the University of Phoenix; Graduate Studies in Clinical Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Human Development from Vanguard University of Southern California in Costa Mesa, California. Vic received specialized training for veteran suicide crisis interventions and rescues by clinicians at the VA Medical Center and in 2008 served on the National Suicide Crisis Hotline in Canandaigua, New York as a hotline therapist. The author has worked many years as a primary therapist, family counselor, educator, and certified and registered addiction specialist. He has counseled men and women and families for over twenty years. Today, Vic and his wife reside in Western Upstate New York. [+]

I'm terrified of About Me sections because there is far too much pressure to sum my life up and prove to you that I'm likable, witty, intelligent, and worthy of your interest on one page. It's like internet dating. I mean, I've never internet dated, but I'm guessing.
The basics are: I'm an American 20-something living just outside of London in a quaint English village that I previously thought only existed on the BBC.
I moved to London in 2012 on a CAPA study abroad program, and ending up loving the UK so much that I found every way (and visa) I could to come back. While an undergrad, I also did the API London and AIFS London programs, studying at UCL and Richmond, The American International University. Since then, I have also done BUNAC's London Internship program and direct enrolled at the University of Westminster for my postgraduate degree.
Now, not only am I navigating the absurdity of post-grad life (you mean I have to actually find a real job and not just go to lectures in my pajamas?), but I'm doing it in a foreign country, which is both exciting and nerve-wracking.
This blog is about my life in the UK and travels abroad, not because I am oh-so-interesting, but because I think it is probably a good idea to write about my experiences so that I can look back on them in the future and laugh at myself and the things I've gone through. I'm also always happy to answer questions about my experience studying in London or living as an American in the UK, so feel free to get in touch or share with anyone you know who has questions. I am a wealth of useless knowledge on the expat American life and instantly like anyone who lets me talk about it.

|Quoting BritJap (Thread starter):
|Quoting HAWK21M (Reply 3):
Any data on this.
|Quoting SEPilot (Reply 5):
Electro-mechanical operators end up being more expensive, more complex, heavier, bulkier, and less reliable than hydraulics, even with all the drawbacks that hydraulics bring. Granted, electro-mechanical actuators have improved greatly since then, but I suspect that they still aren't competitive with hydraulics for things like landing gear actuators. When you see excavators and backhoes start using electro-mechanical instead of hydraulic actuators then I believe that aircraft landing gear actuators will follow.
|Quoting FWI747 (Reply 6):
However, I recall that NASA tested an F16XL equipped with that type of actuator some years ago.
|Quoting KELPkid (Reply 9):
EDIT: It should also be added that many GA types use an interesting hybrid system for the landing gear, with an electric motor driving the hydraulic pump. I guess that's for the GA types where the hydraulic system is doing nothing more than raising and/or lowering the landing gear...
|Quoting SEPilot (Reply 10):
How big do you think the Johnson bar would have to be on an A380?

"And we here at Singapore Airlines would like to remind those seated in the first section on the upper deck to reivew the safety card, as you may be called upon to help in the event of a landing gear malfunction..."

AFAIK, EHA on the A380 have been chosen for the back-up braking system (named Full Brake by Wire) and as a for the steering control system of the nose landing gear.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Welcome to Just Answer! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you! I will do my best to help!
When you repay them, have them run it as a "negative pay item". That will reduce your regular tax withholding for FICA and CA purposes. There will be a federal withholding tax reduction as well, but it may not be at the same rate as it was withheld on. But this will not matter, because once your W-2 reflects the reduced wages due to the repayment, and you file your tax return, you will get a refund of the overwithheld amounts.
I hope this answers your questions! IF you have any more please feel free to ask.
Thanks! Have a great week!

Course: Shuvah 101
Lesson 4
Opening The Gates Of Change ©
Outside of Eretz Yisroel Rosh HaShanah is celebrated over two days. Each day is the same except for the Torah reading and the Haftarah reading in Temple. Also candle lighting is delayed until exactly at sundown. One lights a candle from an existing light source like the pilot light on a stove on a long burning candle light lit before Rosh Hashanah began.
First day
Genesis 21, Maftir: Numbers 29: 1- 6
Haftorah: 1Samuel 1:1-2:10
First day
Genesis 22, Maftir: Numbers 29: 1- 6
Haftorah: Jeremiah 31:1-19
On Rosh Ha Shanah we attend services at our local Congregation, Shul or Temple? Will we be bored? Will we pray the same long, long prayers? Will we pray for hours? Will we visit with friends that we haven't seen since the last High Holy Days? WHAT WILL WE DO?
After years of participating in Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur services there is one thing extremely clear! Very little changes! What is the point of all of the praying? What is the point of fasting, of afflicting one's body? What is the point??
The point of Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur is REPENTANCE! There are Three Steps To Repentance.
1. Repentance is acknowledging ownership of one's sins. In past lessons I have discussed that: extensively on acknowledging one's sin. Acknowledgement of sin is the first step in repentance. Without acknowledgement / ownership of sin, the entire process is circumvented! We are side stepping our guilt! We're playing games with ourselves! Forgiveness is based on a genuine acknowledgment of sin!
2. Repentance requires a plan, a map of how not to repeat the same sin. Alcoholics Anonymous has a plan, "Don't take the first drink."
3. Repentance is satisfying one's debt! One can acknowledge sin and one can design a plan not to repeat sin but THAT is not enough! How sincere is an acknowledgement of sin without a willingness to pay restitution? That confession is a sham! It lacks sincerity! It is only a mask and nothing more!!
So we come back to Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur -- same day, same time, another year... another year and another year ... we go through the motions and nothing changes. We keep coming back because it's our Jewish tradition. Yet there is more to Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur than tradition! If we are not improving as individuals because of Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur... if our character remains the same after Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur... if our improper habits do not change as a result of our prayers and our confessions and our repentance on Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur then we should be asking ourselves, "What is beneath our foundation?"
This is like being in the red zone without scoring. This is like driving in reverse. This is like a rocket that cannot break free of Earth's gravity. This is like going to school without learning. THIS IS ATTENDING ROSH HA SHANAH and YOM KIPPUR SERVICES WITHOUT CHANGE!!
Classmate, let's focus on repentance, on conduct change, on breaking free from improper habits and on self improvement. In Parshat Nitzovim {Deut. 29.9 - 30.20}, we discussed immunities that we often subconsciously provide ourselves. This week we want to continue with that thought. Our subconscious self is very powerful. It influences our every movement. Our subconscious self is the soil beneath our foundation. So when we struggle with change we must look at our subconscious self.
For example in the parshat for Rosh Ha Shanah, GENESIS 21, the Torah responds to Sarah's subconscious self. Remember in Parshat Vayeira Sarah's subconscious self laughed when the angel said, 'I will surely return to you at this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son,' {Genesis 18: 10}
Genesis 17: 15
And G-d Said to Abraham, 'As for Sarai your wife - do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name. I will bless her; indeed, I Will Give you a son through her; I Will Bless her and she shall give rise to nations; kings of peoples will rise from her.'
Genesis 17: 16-19
And Abraham threw himself upon his face and laughed; and he thought, 'Shall a child be born to a hundred year old man? And shall Sarah a ninety year old woman - give birth? And Abraham said to G-d, '0h thatYishmael / Ishmael might live before you!
G-d Said, 'Nonetheless, your wife Sarah will bear you a son and you shall call his name Yitzchok / Isaac; and I will fulfill my Covenant with him as an everlasting Covenant for his offspring after him...
Classmate, the birth of Yitzchok was an extremely important issue at stake here. Yet in these two instances we see Abraham and Sarah struggling with their subconscious selves just as many of us do ...
So at Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur it is imperative for us to wrestle with a chronic condition that opposes change, a chronic condition hidden deep within our subconsciousness! This does not mean another round of quick fix self improvement classes. That is why so many of us have failed in our attempts to change. We placed emphasis upon what is known as personality ethic. Personality ethic focuses on quick fix influence techniques, communication skills, positive attitudes {especially mind over matter}, etc. It does not insist on real bona fide change! This is the fundamental difference between personality ethic and character ethic. What we need in our lives, if we want change, is to deal with and to focus on our character ethic. This requires dedicated effort! It is not like using a can of flat fix on a flat tire. It is removing the nail, sanding the punctured area, gluing and patching the puncture, mounting and rebalancing the tire.
When we look at the parshat for Rosh Ha Shanah we see words Vah Tah Hahr, meaning 'She conceived.' This is the Torah's reference to Sarah's giving birth to Isaac. The message, 'She conceived' is the Torah's paradigm shift to the subconscious self of Abraham and Sarah. This was a view different from the one Abraham and Sarah originally had. Their subconscious selves did not allow for the birth of a son at their advanced ages. Yet the words 'She conceived' pre-empted their subconscious selves. The message from the angel provided them with a new paradigm that contradicted - that conflicted with - their own subconscious selves.
From right to left;
Vah Tah Hahr
She conceived
ו6 ת400 ה5 ר200 = 611
Five Books of Moshe
ת400 ו6 ר200 ה5 = 611
Now the message 'She conceived' ties in so beautifully with the Lord's aforementioned promise to Abraham, "I will fulfill my Covenant with him as an everlasting Covenant for his offspring after him..." We recognize this Covenant to be the Torah. The Gematria for Torah and for Vah Tah Hahr are both 611. Sarah's conception was a paradigm introducing the Covenant, the Torah! The Torah is a paradigm to our conflicted subconscious self which provides direction and character ethic to those of us who carefully observe it! Not only do we see a message of hope in the words Vah Tah Hahr, but we see the method which we can use to rise above defeat, the Torah. Vah Tah Hahr is a message of change to every Jew! It is the conception of the Torah! It is the soil beneath the foundation for Rosh Ha Shanah and Yom Kippur. It is the map to follow. It is the open gate to positive character change!
