Trying the Dom/sub LifestyleMy long distant bf and I have been trying this sexually only. It started by accident when we were together. I made a joke about using handcuffs and turned out he liked that. So we agreed to do this seriously, with rules for me to follow. This is what we both wanted. We have been having fun with this but I messed things up. We had made it a rule I couldn't play with my toys without his permission but I did last week. He was hurt that I broke my promise but also now he thinks I don't want to do this anymore and tells me I have to prove to him I want to. Problem is he wants me to figure out how to do that. I have no idea how to prove this. Guess this is his way of showing his control by making me try proving it to him. This whole dom/sub thing is not as simple as I thought but I really want to continue it.
Since you like the feelings this pleasure brings you, then I suggest you and your boyfriend find the BDSM community near you and take the year long Submissives Class for you starts in Dec. and the Dom Mentor's program for him to help teach him how to be a better Dom and learn the rules to make is safer for both of you.

God Bless
He needs to learn how to control you, to be a better Master. He should beat your *** till it hurts or humble in public at least - (within reason be safe, use common sense) and then instruct you on how/what to do once he undrerstands how he wants you to follow his instructions.
Until you two set up the parameters, how far each of you is willing to commit, then you can't really begin, or get serious and proceed. Take your time on this, and seriously try to be basic. Because over time, as you both grow, you will change, you can't help but change. It is a fact of life, the one thing we can depend on. Things will change, and that will change us, and make us grow. That's how we stretch.

Love never stays the same. It either grows or regresses, the movement never stops. So if we are working toward the good, the light of knowledge, we are progressing. You have to decide what is good for you, and with any luck, it will be good for him as well. That way you can grow together!

But don't get upset if something happens that makes you have to split from any partner. Sometimes you only need someone for a learning experience, and once the experience has ended, so does the relationship. You part on good terms and move on from there. Some relationships were never meant to last. That doesn't mean it was bad. I think all learning is good, and whether positive or negative, you learn from every experience you choose to go through.

Good journey!

In my situation, i sort of HAVE to provide my own punishment. In fact i ask for it when i feel i deserver it. i suppose i am domming myself FOR my hubby since He isn't comfortable with it yet. Kind of sucks but we are trying very hard to make this work.
I have been thinking of talking to my wife about this to see if it could help spice up things, but have been looking for information as to what is involved, any suggestions.
Well IMHO you should be honest with him from start but he should not make such fuss about it - everyone make mistakes .... So now it seems you are on a good way into improving your relationship, I hope it will work great for both of you.
From my past experiences I let my sub decide her punishment a few times. The reason I did this was to test and see how far she was willing to go at that point. With you deciding your punishment and following through with it, it shows that you are willing to do what you are told and this gives your boyfriend an idea of what you are ready for in the future. This does not mean that you are taking control, this is a test that your boyfriend is putting you through to see if the two of you are on the same page. This is also his way of testing to see how open you will be. With you deciding your punishment this opens up the avenue of discussion between you and him as to how far to push you. It sounds like he isn't sure of your boundaries and is afraid of pushing you too far. I hope that my comments are helping you to get a better understanding of what is going on, feel free to ask my opinion about all things in this matter.
The first thing that you and your boyfriend need to do is sit down and set boundaries. You don't want to have the same experience as I a did with my previous slave where she was waiting for me to take her to the next level and I didn't, forcing her to go and find a new master to fulfill her needs. Proving to him that you want to continue forward with this lifestyle, does he want emotional proof or does he want physical proof? You are gonna have to find out from him as to the level of proof he wants. From your last sentence you are also gonna have to talk to him and discuss where the both of you see this going, if you want more you will have to let him know in some way. Many a men have began to "dominate" women because they feel that is the only aspect in there life that they can control, hopefully that is not what is going on with you and your boyfriend. I hope that my words have given you a little bit of insite.
I am glad to hear that you and your boyfriend are trying out a new lifestyle. How long have the two of you been experimenting with this? Has there been any problems like this is the past? Have the two of you set boundaries as to how far you are willing to go? What are your limits? The main question you will have to ask yourself is if this is what you really want and what you are willing to do to get it.

text: So I was using the phone, listening to a podcast when the audio started to cut out. The phone was acting sluggish so I rebooted it. Now it stops booting at the slash screen and won't go any farther. I was able to open clock work recovery one time, but the menu key wouldn't work so I couldn't do anything. Another strange thing, the notification light was bright red when I but the battery back in, even without powering on the phone. That light has since turned green. Several more reboots went straight to the download mode screen, but now it just sits at the splash screen no matter what buttons I press. Any idea what happened? So strange that it would fall apart in my hand after nine months of use.

Alumni, friends of the University, and members of the community are asked to bring their prized chili to the gathering. The cook-off will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Club Buzz located in the basement of the David B. Miller Yellow Jacket Student Union. The style show will begin at noon.
Anyone interested in entering the chili cook-off, please register by contacting Tom Wheaton at email@example.com or 642-6385.
Prizes will be awarded for first through fourth place. The public is invited to attend. The cost is $5 per person payable at the door with all proceeds going toward scholarships for BHSU students.
In conjunction with the 130th anniversary, the alumni association is asking former students to share their most memorable moments from BHSU. Ten entries will be drawn at random to receive a free "1883" BHSU t-shirt. Please submit your entries to firstname.lastname@example.com or send them to BHSU, Attn: Alumni Office, 1200 University Street Unit 9506, Spearfish, SD 57799-9506. Be sure to include your t-shirt size when you submit your entry. All submissions must be received by April 2.
BHSU was originally founded as Dakota Territorial Normal School in 1883, before South Dakota had even gained statehood and before the city of Spearfish was officially established. Four year degrees were added in the 1920s, and in 1941 the school was renamed Black Hills Teachers College. Graduate courses followed in 1953 and by 1964 there was a new designation-Black Hills State College.
Over the next several decades, the college continued to grow in strength and stature. In 1989, the name was changed to Black Hills State University to reflect the depth and breadth of the academic offerings.

On a chilly Thursday afternoon, Desert Vista High School junior Ava Posta worked contentedly at Pomegranate Cafe in Ahwatukee Foothills, stamping pastry bags and coffee sleeves with the local cafe's signature pink logo.
Fitting right in with the casual, low-key atmosphere as weekday brunch-goers trickled in, Posta said working at the cafe has prepared her for future work experiences.
"Just working here is fun and I've met a lot of different people," she said just before squeezing fresh orange juice.
Posta is part of the WorkBridge program at Tempe Union High School District. Serving more than 20 students among seven schools in the district, the program aims to transition qualified high school juniors and seniors into post-secondary jobs or service.
Through Individualized Education Plans, each student can work or volunteer in a field they are interested in after graduation and are then paid through district grants for their work.
In addition to the community garden and the cafe, WorkBridge students are placed in preschools, food banks, school cafeterias, resource and fitness centers, libraries, and boutiques.
Posta wants to be a baker after high school, and works at Pomegranate about two hours a week every Thursday and is then taken back to school for the rest of the school day.
"We really enjoy having her here as part of the team," said Pomegranate owner Cassie Tolman. "The program fits right in with who we are, we support local, we support diversity, acceptance, and love. So it was really just right up our alley."
Since the semester began last fall, Posta has been working one day a week at the cafe.
"We're getting to know her in the meantime, so it's really lovely," Tolman added.
WorkBridge is available to students meeting some requirements within the district's seven high schools, and offers a comprehensive range of programming for students with disabilities, according to the district website.
In Tempe, a handful of other students volunteer through WorkBridge at the Harvest for Humanity community garden near Guadalupe and Rural roads.
Prepping for the recent, overnight cold fronts that hit the Valley, students helped cover plants, flowers, vegetables and other produce at the garden while others helped wheelbarrow coffee grounds over to an area for compost.
"I look at WorkBridge as giving them an opportunity to get out there, be part of the community and be part of something," said WorkBridge teacher Sherri Hoffmann, who oversees students from Desert Vista and Mountain Pointe high schools.
Just before rounding up her group of about five students at the garden, Hoffmann mentioned that parents and the community have been embracing the program.
"Some of my students have just blossomed out here," added Hoffmann, while looking out around the 2-acre garden. "That's what it's all about, giving these students an opportunity to shine, and they always do."

Dodgy painter fined over patio blunder
A door-to-door con man has been ordered to pay a victim on Queensland's Fraser Coast nearly $3,000, for damages caused by his dodgy painting.
The UK man appeared in the Hervey Bay Magistrates Court yesterday, where he was fined $2,500 for breaches under the Australian Consumer Law.
Office of Fair Trading regional manager Peter Nell says people should be wary when no documentation is provided.
"Anybody being approached by unsolicited tradespeople should check their bonafides," he said.
"If they do try and do any work or request money within a 10 business day cooling-off period, they should contact the Office of Fair Trading and report that activity."
Mr Nell says the con man caused $2,700 worth of damage to the victim's patio.
"The paint he used reacted with the existing paint and as a result the paint that was applied needed to be removed," he said.
"It actually adversely affected the existing paint and ... it's still in that state, it needs to be removed completely and resurfaced."

What I find strange is that so many people accept completely that a large, dangerous looking person should find it necessary and acceptable to leave his car in this situation, go and yell at the driver whom he perceived to be a line cutter, and then, maintain an aggressive, taunting, challenging attitude, even after the first driver de-escalated the situation and promised to remedy it. He used aggressive and intimidating behavior in a totally inappropriate situation.
People like me, and apparently the OP, recognize that this is really, really, seriously screwed up behavior. and then, you open up the box of what ifs.
Do all of you skeptics really, seriously believe that there was no possibility that this person was packing, or so out of his mind that he COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE THOUGHT OF FURTHER ESCALATION, EVEN IN THE FACE OF CONCILIATORY ACTIONS ON THE LINE CUTTER'S PART?
This is the sort of behavior used in prisons during interactions with other killers, pimps, and rapists. Not between normal people who are part of a community of at least nominally civilized and polite people.
No matter how you guys try to minimize and sugar coat the behavior by the "big teddy bear" who had engaged in prosecutable behavior, the OP behaved correctly.
The situation scared him. He had a concealed weapon. He took necessary steps to prepare for the attack he thought may be coming, after reviewing the scenario presented to him. Then, he de-escalated the situation on his own.
All of you doubters who saw nothing in this situation but a guy who's had a rough day doing his civic duty by berating a line cutter need to just once put yourself in the cab of the van, in his mind, and re-assess the situation. Where you are sitting now, behind the keys, you have this god-like hindsight of what happened with third party knowledge of how it all turned out to be a perfectly harmless encounter.
That is not how to assess a defense situation. You'd get an F at the academy. You're responses are to be based on the information available to the target only. and he acted appropriately to the situation.
You guys would probably call my wife an idiot because she locks her doors anytime a pedestrian gets within 10 feet of the car. Every day, people encounter criminals in real life. Child molesters, killers, burglars, dope dealers, gang members, and only the grace of god prevents a dangerous situation from developing. That's why we carry firearms.

1. Horticulture Research International (HRI)
is a Public Sector Research Establishment (PSRE) with the principal
objective of carrying out horticultural research and development.
It is the principal contractor for horticultural R&D in the
UK and is recognised as a centre of excellence providing cost-effective
R&D. HRI has a significant research effort in genetic modification
which is used in two distinct ways. The first as a research tool
to identify gene properties and functions and the second is to
produce improved cultivars by incorporating specific genes through
genetic engineering. Targets are primarily fruit and vegetables
for fresh consumption or processing and ornamental species for
amenity and leisure purposes.
2. Containment (90/219/EEC). HRI has
carried out basic research involving genetic modification for
over 10 years, including the first transformations of apple and
strawberry. Most of the current work is carried out under the
provisions of 90/219/EEC. This has provided a safe, effective
framework for contained research. Risk assessments use well-established
methods and information, which has proved to be robust The assessments
and supporting practical protocols protect operators from potential
risks and avoid harm to the environment.
3. Release (90/220/EEC). The release
of GMOs arising from HRI R&D into the environment is so far
limited to studies on long term stability of transgenes in Apple.
The application procedure for consent for release of GMOs for
experimental purposes requires comprehensive details on the transgenic
organism and a detailed assessment of the risk of harm to human
health and the environment. Where consent has been given and the
trials carried out in accordance with the protocols detailed in
the application, the system has been successful in allowing experiments
to proceed without adverse consequences. The system is open and
releases are publicised. This has led to problems such as vandalism
and attacks on GMOs. There is thus currently a conflict between
the need for transparency in GMO trialling, essential to retain
public confidence, and the need to maintain security of the trials.
4. Consent for Marketing under this directive
requires the agreement of all 15 member states of the EU and is
consequently a major barrier to GMOs reaching the marketplace.
This is in contrast with the relatively streamlined system for
consent in the USA. While protecting the rights of individual
states is a political necessity, it is important that agreement
for non-controversial GMOs does not place European firms and their
products at a competitive global disadvantage.
5. Novel Foods (EC) 258/97. Regulations for
the approval of Novel Foods is based on the concept of substantial
equivalence. This approach, used by ACNFP, WHO and OECD is based
on the demonstration that a novel food produced by or representing
GMO is as safe as its conventional counterpart. The levels of
variation must be within the natural range of conventional counterparts.
This is a rational approach, but needs to be combined with an
appropriate labelling strategy to sustain public confidence. For
example, a refined oil derived from herbicide-tolerant oilseed
rape would be substantially equivalent to the conventional product.
However, consumers will demand the right to know that the ingredient
is derived from a GMO.
6. The labelling of Novel Foods derived from
or containing GMOs must be open and informative. If possible the
type and reason for the modification should be available
to the public to enable them to make informed choices. This could
possibly be achieved through a code or symbol system. Labelling
should be clear, avoiding statements such as "this product
may contain". Consumers will be suspicious if labelling is
based on the measurable amounts of product from GMOs, although
information on the content should be available for monitoring
and enforcement of regulations. Consumers will need to know the
provenance of the ingredients in Novel Foods and traceability
should apply to GMO derived products, even where substantially
7. GM horticultural products will, in many cases,
be the GMO itself, e.g., where fresh products are modified to
maintain quality on the supermarket or consumers shelf. In some
cases, these foods may contain elevated levels of compounds known
to have positive health benefits, i.e., functional foods or nutraceuticals.
By definition, these products will not pass the test of substantial
equivalence, being outside the natural range of variance. Regulation
for Novel Foods should anticipate this situation. Full safety
evaluation of such products will be required to sustain consumer
8. Genetic modification offers substantial benefits
in terms of environmental enhancement through reduced chemical
inputs and health and quality enhancement. For the Horticulture
industry to take advantage of the opportunities, the regulatory
regime will need to be rigorous, rational and transparent, to
reserve public safety and confidence. A regime, which is over-complicated,
slow and expensive, or only nationally based, will inhibit the
application of this important technology.

Tough economic climate as Obama seeks 2nd term
Associated Press | 9/6/2011, 3:59 p.m.
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama faces a long re-election campaign having all but given up on the economy rebounding in any meaningful way before November 2012. His own budget office predicts unemployment will stay at about 9 percent, a frightening number for any president seeking a second term.
Obama's prospects aren't entirely grim, however. The GOP, heavily influenced by the tea party, may nominate someone so deeply flawed or right-leaning that, Democrats hope, Obama can persuade Americans to give him a second chance rather than risk the alternative.
Democrats say the man who ran on hope and change in 2008 will have to claw his way toward a second term with a sharply negative campaign.
The strengths and weaknesses of his prospects seem clear.
Next year's unemployment rate is likely to be the highest in a presidential election since 1940. But the leading Republican contenders have denigrated Social Security, switched positions on critical issues and done other things that might make them ripe targets for Obama's well-funded campaign.
Democratic strategist Doug Hattaway says GOP candidates, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, may turn off independent voters with their embrace of tea party stands on taxes, spending and program cuts.
Obama "should lump them all together and make them answer for their slash-and-burn politics," said Hattaway, a former top aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's rival for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.
To do so, Hattaway said, Obama must link the candidates to congressional Republicans, blamed by Democrats for the nation's stalled job growth and recent downgrade of U.S. creditworthiness.
Making the connection might not prove easy.
Obama's potential challengers have avoided getting dragged into details of the bitter Capitol Hill fights over deficit spending. At least for now, they can lob criticisms at the president while offering few specific, measurable alternatives.
"President Obama oversaw an economy that created zero jobs last month, and that is unacceptable," Romney said Friday.
But the influence of the tea party and other conservative groups may give Obama some openings, by pushing the GOP field so far to the right that the candidates risk alienating vital independent voters.
In a debate last month, the top contenders pledged to oppose a deficit-reduction plan even if it cut $10 in spending for every $1 raised by new taxes. Perry, who entered the race after that debate, also has taken a tough stand against higher taxes.
Obama's team says independents, who might pay scant attention to ideologically driven primaries, will find such positions extreme when they compare the eventual GOP nominee and the president.
Political aide David Axelrod hinted that Obama will try to sharpen his differences with Republicans who insist on spending cuts in virtually every area and who refuse to let tax cuts expire, as scheduled, for the wealthiest.
It's hard "to create an economy in which people can get decent jobs and raise a family at the same time we're cutting back on our commitment to spending on education and research and development that will create innovation and jobs," Axelrod said in an interview.

Jennifer Lawrence Has 'Two Left Feet'
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Drama, Comedy, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Jennifer Lawrence has "two left feet" when it comes to dancing.
The Hunger Games actress struggled when she had to shoot scenes for her role as a dance expert in upcoming film Silver Linings Playbook - based on author Matthew Quick's best-seller - because she has no rhythm or co-ordination. Jennifer's character Tiffany is a grieving widow who helps former teacher/mental institution patient Pat - played by Bradley Cooper - win back his wife. Only there is one condition, he has to partner her in a dance competition.
"I have two left feet, and I'm not exactly a graceful mover. Bradley's the one who can dance - and he's not supposed to know how to!" she told The Daily Mail.
The 22-year-old beauty didn't expect to be offered the role, joking that she didn't think they'd hire a "klutz." However, she wowed director David O. Russell - who directed Oscar-winning film The Fighter - with an audition conducted via internet video chat service Skype.

VIDEO: Natalie Portman in Black Swan Trailer
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Fox Searchlight, Drama, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis play rival ballerinas in Black Swan, but this film isn't made for little girls.
The dark thriller revolves around a New York ballet company which is staging a performance of Swan Lake. Portman's character is picked to dance the lead role, but the arrival of a new dancer (Kunis) creates new tension and competition.
Kunis stretches her villain chops in the flick, which will be released December 1.

Nine Addict Penelope Cruz
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Adaptation, Musicals, Romance, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
Penelope Cruz found working on her latest film, Nine, addictive.
The Broken Embraces actress formed a strong bond with her co-stars on the musical, which included Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman and Marion Cotillard, and particularly enjoyed their dance training.
"It was scary, but it was so much fun. It was great seeing that we were all feeling the same way. There was a great support system on that set, all the actors with each other and with Rob Marshall, the director. I had danced classical ballet before, so this was very different from what I had studied. We had a room in our building and we were all taking different classes. We would all pass each other in the hallway. All day, training. We all felt so free and so happy. Music was so present everywhere. That elevates people, music. It was so addictive, that experience."
Rob admits he was amazed by the actress' work ethic and dedication to giving the best possible performance while filming: "She knew we had to get in there and really be great, so she came in and worked like nobody's business. She was the first one there and the last one to leave. She'd always want one more take. She's a real perfectionist."
Daniel Day-Lewis Scared of Singing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weinstein Company, Adaptation, Musicals, Romance, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases,
Daniel Day-Lewis didn't think his singing and dancing was good enough to star in new musical movie Nine.
The Oscar-winning actor, who plays Italian film director Guido Contini in the hotly-anticipated film, had a crisis of confidence and asked the director Rob Marshall if there was anyone else who could take his role, because he had no confidence in his voice.
"I did say to Rob in the early stages, 'Is there anyway of getting out of this? I have a list of actors who could do it tomorrow!' He tried to convince me I could sing and I said, 'You've no idea if I can sing or not!' I sang feebly a couple of times, and on the grounds of that Rob managed to convince me it was worth pursuing."
The 52-year-old actor, who is famous for his method acting, also joked that dancing was difficult because his body is so "creaky": "I can do a lot of stuff, I can climb, I can run, I can cycle, I can box, but I can't dance. I used a lot of 3-in-1 to lubricate those stiff joints. It's not natural grace - that's sheer effort of will. My limbs are a mass of scar tissue through years of doing things I shouldn't have."
Daniel stars in Nine alongside Penelope Cruz, Dame Judi Dench and Nicole Kidman.

Stock futures are edging lower to start the week.
Lowe's and other retailers are reporting quarterly earnings Monday morning.
Lowe's Cos. posted profits that were below Wall Street's estimates, pulled down by charges tied to store closings and unfinished projects. The home-improvement retailer's stock dropped 1.7 percent in premarket trading.
J.C. Penney Co.'s stock dropped 2.6 percent in premarket trading after it reported a quarterly loss early Monday. The department store operator said its results were weighed down by restructuring costs and it lowered its earnings outlook for the rest of the year.
IBM is up nearly 1 percent after the investor Warren Buffett said his firm has been buying the company's stock this year. The purchases have given Berkshire Hathaway Inc. a stake of more than 5 percent in IBM. Berkshire will file a full quarterly update on its holdings Monday afternoon
Less than an hour before the opening bell, Dow Jones industrial average futures are down 12 points, or 0.1 percent, to 12,099. S&P 500 index futures are down 5, or 0.4 percent, to 1,256. Nasdaq 100 futures are down 4, or 0.2 percent, to 2,346.
Major European markets are mostly lower Monday. New governments are taking over in Greece and Italy, two countries under pressure in the European debt crisis. But plenty of challenges remain. Italy managed to sell five-year bonds to investors and raise $4.1 billion on Monday. But the 6.29 percent interest rate was the highest since 1997.
Stock indexes closed the week higher last Friday, as it appeared Greece and Italy were making steps toward getting their debt troubles under control. The Dow and the S&P 500 are now positive for the month. The Nasdaq is slightly lower.
No major economic reports are coming out Monday.

Osteoclast, large multinucleated cell responsible for the dissolution and absorption of bone. Bone is a dynamic tissue that is continuously being broken down and restructured in response to such influences as structural stress and the body's requirement for calcium. The osteoclasts are the mediators of the continuous destruction of bone. Osteoclasts occupy small depressions on the bone's surface, called Howship lacunae; the lacunae are thought to be caused by erosion of the bone by the osteoclasts' enzymes. Osteoclasts are formed by the fusion of many cells derived from circulating monocytes in the blood. These in turn are derived from the bone marrow. Osteoclasts may have as many as 200 nuclei, although most have only 5 to 20. The side of the cell closest to the bone contains many small projections (microvilli) that extend into the bone's surface, forming a ruffled, or brush, border that is the cell's active region. Osteoclasts produce a number of enzymes, chief among them acid phosphatase, that dissolve both the organic collagen and the inorganic calcium and phosphorus of the bone. Mineralized bone is first broken into fragments; the osteoclast then engulfs the fragments and digests them within cytoplasmic vacuoles. Calcium and phosphorus liberated by the breakdown of the mineralized bone are released into the bloodstream. Unmineralized bone (osteoid) is protected against osteoclastic resorption.

The fast of Jonah is a fast that is practiced by the Syriac Orthodox Church from ancient days. Based on that, our church chose it at the time of Pope Abraam, the 62nd Pope of Alexandria. This fast was organized by the fathers of the church as a sign of their love and unity in the orthodox faith. The church accepted it without change. It is well known that Pope Abraam is the person responsible for moving the Mokatam mountain.
This fast is practiced by the church for the following reasons:
To resemble the people of Nineveh, who have been warned by God that their city would be destroyed in forty days. He gave this warning through His prophet Jonah, and they fasted with real eagerness, crying to God that He would have mercy on them and forgive them, so God forgave them. And that is why we fast for three days, in preparation for the blessings and mercy of God.
In order to remember the mercy of God and His compassion towards sinners.
The church fasts for three days in order to remember the prophet Jonah and his being in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights. We also fast
this fast because we see an example of a similar one in the New Testament, when
the multitudes, which followed Jesus, fasted for three days before He fed them
(Matthew 15:32).
This fast comes after Epiphany (or Theophany) and before the Great Lent. This is
why the church treats it with the same order as the Great Lent.

Member of Holy Coptic Orthodox Church
The Story ofJONAH
These days the church is preparing to start Jonah's Fast or the Fast of Nineveh.
This fast is known to be the fast of repentance, humility and the return to God.
This is why many of the young and old in the church hold fast to this specific
fast and abstain totally from food and drink for long periods of time, some even
abstain for three continuous days. Thus, the church considers this fast to be
one of the fasts of the first degree, similar to the fasts of Lent and Wednesday
and Friday.
The primary message of the book is clearly that God's interest and mercy extend
far beyond the Jews to the human race. This reminds us of the story of the child
who asked his teacher the question "was Jesus white or black?" According to the
story, the teacher replied that He was born with a fair complexion, but the
strong sun of Israel tanned him dark. In the book of Jonah, we see how God was
concerned not only for the Jews, but for the Gentiles too.
Even though the book of Jonah is only four chapters, it is considered one of the
special books of the Bible since it combines the prophetic element with the
historical element. When we examine this book, we find ourselves considering
many deep spiritual meanings.
Jona or Jonas is the Syriac and Hebrew dialect version of the Hebrew name Jonah
meaning "dove". Jonah, the prophet son of Amittai, from the tribe of Zebulon
(Joshua 19:10), came from the city of Gath-hepher located about 3 miles away
from Nazareth. It is said that he is the son of the widow of Zerephath (1 Kings
17:17-24) who was raised from the dead. Some critics have attacked the story of
Jonah as a symbolic story but the words of the Lord Jesus indicate the literal
interpretation of this book: "This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and
there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet... The men of
Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn
it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than
Jonas is here" (Luke 11:29-32).
Let us study certain aspects of Jonah's Life:
1. Jonah the Stubborn
This book unveils to us, from its beginning, the details revolving around the
sin of disobedience, for Jonah has sinned and he is the prophet of God. This is
why the waters are salty and bitter, and his needs are very great. Furthermore,
the water is filled with rocks. Every problem under these circumstances is
enough to end a person's life. He becomes counted as one of the dead, but when
he finds himself in the belly of the great fish, he discovers that he is
surrounded by a river that has sweet water, not by waves or any danger of
drowning or dying. That is how we experience the work of our wonderful God to
whom we pray to in the Holy Liturgy of St. Gregory, saying "You have changed my
punishment to salvation."
The most beautiful thing in Jonah's praise to God is that it's full of hope and
confidence in God's response to his requests. That is why we find him saying
"out of the belly of hell cried I and thou heardest my voice" (Jonah 2:2).
Jonah says in confidence "yet I will look again toward thy holy temple" (Jonah
2:4). And we see him also saying "yet hast thou brought out my life from
corruption, O Lord my God" (Jonah 2:6). Therefore, we find that there is a
difference between the person who prays, simply to say words, and the person who
prays in faith, finding that God calls us saying all that you ask in prayer and
faith you will receive. God also says "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place and it shall
remove" (Matthew 17:20).
The Bible emphasizes that all are weak. Therefore, we see that Abraham, the
friend and companion of God, falling into the sin of lying and David, whose
heart is with the Lord, falling into the sin of adultery and murder. We observe
the loving Peter, who is one of the apostles, denying our Lord Jesus. In spite
of all this, God remains loving. Just as we describe him in the Holy Liturgy
"Thou hast changed my punishment to salvation."
Jonah appears in his disobedient attitude in many instances such as God's direct
invitation to his saying: "Rise and go to Nineveh." Then God speaks to him
through a mighty wind and this is a method that God uses to talk to us in that
He allows us to go through trials and tribulations so that the person can wake
up. But, Jonah goes to the bottom of the ship to sleep. God also speaks to him
through the innocent sailors who, when faced with trials and tribulations, call
each one to his Lord. Jonah's heart is still unmoved, on the contrary, he
increases his sleep and finally the Lord sends him the captain of the ship to
ask him to call on his God. Instead of remembering the voice of God saying:
"Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify
me" (Psalm 50:15), Jonah refuses the captain's request. Finally, the sailors
cast lots to see who is responsible for this evil. The lot falls on Jonah and he
is sentenced to death because he confesses. "For the men know that he fled from
the presence of the Lord, because he had told them" (Jonah 1:10).
These circumstances often happen with us since God talks to us in many ways. We
refuse to listen because we are searching for comfort for our bodies or sleep,
or that we are preoccupied with many things and forget to respond and that each
one of us should get up and pray to his God. "Behold, I stand at the door and
2. The Praying Jonah
Jonah is thrown in the sea and is considered dead. When he reach the stage of
death, Jonah finally arrives at the stage where he is praising and giving thanks
to Him. He does this in the belly of the great fish. All through the previous
stages, Jonah did not see God or hear his voice, but now he begins to see God.
Jonah starts to say with Job: I heard of Thee, but now my eyes have seen you.
Also like the three youths who saw God in the midst of the burning fire and just
as Daniel the prophet who enjoyed a visit by an angel of the Lord in the midst
of the lion's den. In just the same way Jonah starts to speak to God. He talks
to God about His love and His protection for him. As if Jonah is telling the
Lord how the people have condemned him by throwing him in the dangerous sea.
3. Jonah Warning the People
After the whale has thrown Jonah onto the land, Jonah goes to the city of
Nineveh according to the order of the Lord as it was given to him a second time.
"Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that
I bid thee" (Jonah 3:2). We find that Jonah carries the message to the city of
Nineveh and says to them "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown"
(Jonah 3:4).
Instead of Jonah talking to the Ninevites about the God who loves the salvation
of all, has gentleness, compassion, love, mercy and motivates us to repent, he
preaches about the angry God, the vengeful God and the powerful God. Here we see
the personality of Jonah who does the work of God with a mild attitude and
instead of going all over the city for three days, he goes in one day and that
is sufficient for him...
In general, there are many instances in which we lock out the picture of a
loving God. Even worse is when we forget many times the work of God within us
and we revert to our stubbornness and disobedience once again. Very often, we do
the work of God with loose hands, but, in spite of this, God still works in our
souls and hearts
We must realize that we are responsible for witnessing to others as our Lord
Jesus Christ said: "Ye are the light of the world." And again, "Let your light
so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father
which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:14, 16). We must live the life of continuous
thanksgiving "in every condition, for every condition and in whatever condition"
and thank the Lord for his great mercy towards us. Remembering always that
"cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully (Jeremiah 48:10) and
"those that seek me early shall find me" (Proverbs 8:17).
4. Jonah the Rebellious
Here we see Jonah the prophet after he has glorified God and God prepared to do
His evangelizing and work through Jonah's weakness. Therefore, God has become
fruitful through Jonah so as to show him that He is a powerful God, and can save
with little or with much. God wants to show us that "neither is he that planteth
any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase" (1
Corinthians 3:7). We notice that the people of Nineveh have fasted, have worn
sackcloth from the youngest to the oldest, they have called to God and each one
has repented of his or her evil ways. God responds to their repentance, since it
is the most important thing that moves the heart of God towards mankind. "God
saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the
evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not" (Jonah
Therefore it is proclaimed, from the beginning, that God's heart moves from the
repentance of sinners. This is evident in the parable of the lost sheep where
God leaves the 99 sheep to search for the one lost sheep. God leaves His chosen
people and He goes, assisted by Jonah, to look for the lost sheep, which is the
city of Nineveh. Just like how God leaves the 9 coins and lights up the candles
and sweeps the whole house in order to find the lost coin. Other parables also
point this out to us, like the parable of the prodigal son, where the father did
not ask anything of his son, but gave him everything simply because he had
returned to his father's house. This is the God that Jonah proclaims when he
says "for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and
of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil" (Jonah 4:2).
In general, the characteristics that angered Jonah from God were that He was
merciful and slow to anger. It is by this wonderful love, which God uses towards
all of us, that He produced the gourd to grow and shadow Jonah's head from the
sun. Then the Lord sent a worm to wither the gourd, an eastern hot wind and
again the sun beat upon Jonah. God did all of this so that He would move the
heart of Jonah a second time in order to remove the anger and weakness and
replace it with joy in the work for His glory. It is within this context that we
remember the words of our teacher St. Paul when he said that it is the
long-suffering of God that gives us the ability to be led towards repentance.
St. Jerome sees that the secret of Jonah's unhappiness is not the saving of the
people of Nineveh, but Jonah's realization of the unfaithfulness and
unthankfulness of His own people the Jews.
1. God Wants the Individual and the Group
The title of this book refers to the people of Nineveh, but the book itself
talks about God who seeks for the salvation, repentance and return of His
people. In doing that, God uses many methods in order to arrive at the end that
He has in mind which is the salvation of the people of Nineveh, Jonah and even
any strangers such as the pagan sailors on the ship.
2. God Uses Nature for the Salvation of Man
Here we see, throughout the whole book, the natures of God and man. Man who is
disobedient and rebellious and God who uses the sea, wind, waves, gourd, eastern
wind and hot sun, which all work towards one goal - the good of man. It is for
this reason that we see God at the beginning, preparing paradise and then
creating man to be lord over it. In just the same way, God uses nature at the
time of Noah and to free His chosen people from their slavery under Pharaoh. He
also used animals to warn the prophet Baam, through a talking donkey (like Mr.
Ed). In just the same way, we see the prophet David saying "The heavens declare
the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork" (psalm 19:1). And
again "Praise ye him, sun and moon... Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye
waters that be above the heavens" (psalm 148:3,4).
3. The Intense Care that God Has for His Children
God cares for His children even at the time of their rebelliousness and evil.
That is why we find God's promises towards his children truly marvelous. "Can a
woman forget her sucking child... they may forget, yet will I not forget thee"
(Isaiah 49:15). "But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered" (Luke
12:7). "For he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his (God's) eye"
(Zechariah 2:8). All these promises we find fulfilled in the person of Jonah
even when he was under the sin of disobedience. That is why St. Paul talks about
God being faithful even when we are unfaithful. He cares for His children
irrespective of their condition, appearance, or the circumstances under which
they live. That is why David talks about this heavenly care as he experienced
it: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" (Psalm 23:1). David also says "I
have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor
his seed begging bread" (Psalm 37:25). This is God and we are His children.
4. Jonah a Symbolical Representation of Jesus
Here we find many points, some of which are the following:
A. The book of Jonah is a message intended for people to understand that
repentance is important. In just the same way, Jesus came carrying a message to
the world: "Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand."
B. Jonah goes into the ship, and Jesus Christ goes into the alter. Jonah is
condemned to death by the sailors, and Jesus Christ is condemned to death by the
high priests or the people who existed in the temple at that time
C. Jonah is thrown in the sea and we find him discovering the river around him.
Jesus Christ came for the salvation of the whole world.
D. Jonah remains in the whale for three days and while there, he cries out and
talks to God. Jesus Christ dies and goes into the tomb, remaining there three
days. During those three days, He goes down to Hades and takes with Him all
those who have slept, with the hope that He would take them back with Him into
E. We must not forget that Jonah was part of Jesus' family tree and thus Jesus
literally became the son of Jonah

Letter: Vote for Hermansen
Dear Editor,
I'd like to remind Troy Township residents to vote Tuesday, April 7. Our town constable, Mel Hermansen, is in a contested race and he deserves our support.
Not many people remember to vote in our April elections, so I'm writing to remind my fellow Troy Township residents that this year is critical.
Please vote to keep our constable, Mel Hermansen, in office. He is doing a good job and he listens to us.

Reviews forChristmas Cauliflower Casserole
My Review
Average Rating
"Yummy! Not a fan of walnuts, but without them it still is delicious!"
"Very nice. Didn't add walnuts as parents were coming over for dinner. Enjoyed this dish. Happy to make again."
"I have a question. When you say "stuffing mix", what exactly do you mean? Stovetop or the bagged kind?"
"Cauliflower, sour cream and cheese? It has to be good. Haven't made this yet but have to give it 5 stars for the above reason and to skew out the poor reviews which had nothing to do with the recipe. HA"
"I thought was good. I think I would cook the cauliflower a little bit longer before hand as even after baking in the oven it was a little too hard for my liking. I also omitted the walnuts."
"Beautiful presentation dish and tastes wonderful."
"I can't rate this because I don't have intentions on making it. Anytime TOH puts up a recipe that involves sour cream, unless it's a cake, I won't make it. I've tried a few other dishes that required sour cream and found that each time it curdled and left a terrible texture. Not a fan."
