As I sit here and write this post, I honestly feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! Tomorrow is a BIG day for our family as we get ready to launch not only two kids back to school but also the husband to WORK!! And not just to work, but to a new church community.
That's right, we are getting ready to launch our family into a brand new season and it's just SO exciting!
For those of you who have been following us along the journey, you know that we were hit with some pretty unexpected news this last May when my husband found himself suddenly without a job. If you haven't read the story, take a break and catch up here.
After a few weeks of reeling and trying to find our footing again, we started to process what we really wanted to be doing with our lives. Now that there was no job, no limitations, no nothing…it was time for us to revisit the proverbial drawing board for our family and start to redefine what mattered most to us and what we wanted the next season to look like.
I'll be totally honest with you guys…after 12+ years in ministry, we had very serious conversations about leaving full-time ministry. We talked about what it would look like to get a "regular" nine-to-five job, find a great church community and simply serve as a volunteer. I won't lie, there was a part of that picture that sounded REALLY appealing to us after the tough seasons we'd walked through.
But, when you are called to something, it doesn't matter how much you try to run and hide from it, it WILL find you. No matter how appealing that lifestyle looked outside of full-time ministry, we both knew, deep down, that that wasn't for us.
But at the same time, we knew that SOMETHING had to change.
Once the kids were finally out of school and we had adapted to our new norm, we started putting what we called "feelers" out. Having some strategic conversations with people that we trusted, we started to see what jobs were out there for my husband. We decided early on that we would keep an open mind and allow ourselves to have a variety of conversations, with various people. Just because we have a conversation with a potential "employer" doesn't mean that we were taking the job.
One of the desires that came up in our early conversations in this "misplaced" stage of life was that we knew we had a STRONG desire to stay PUT…meaning, we didn't want to have to move. You see we have moved every THREE years, for the last 11 years of our lives. While that was never the intention in any of those places that we lived, for a number of different reasons, some outside of our control, we ended up uprooting our family time and time again. When we came to Toronto two and a half years ago, we very much came with the intention to stay for a LONG time. But yet again, we found ourselves in a season of transition after just really settling in. Now with three kids, two of whom are in school and are developing their own friendships, we really had NO desire to move. We truly LOVE living in the GTA: we love having the best of both worlds…both suburbia with a somewhat quieter pace of life but within 30 minutes, we are downtown Toronto and enjoying all the hustle and bustle that the city life has to offer. Our kids seem to love both those worlds as well!
But again, going back to the "let's be open to anything" mentality, we had conversations with churches outside of Toronto. Some VERY far outside of Toronto…like on the other side of the country. Some of those conversations even led to formal/informal interviews and we started surveying the land AKA…checking out MLS to see what properties were selling for in those cities.
But nothing ever felt right. We never felt a strong pull to anywhere.
Except one place.
One church kept coming up, time and time again for us.
The funny thing is, after everything happened and we started talking about where we would go to church in this transition time, we always had wanted to check out this church. It was a place we had only heard amazing things about and we were intrigued. We knew a couple of people who went there and decided to just show up on Sunday morning.
And we fell in love.
We felt at home.
We felt free.
We felt like we were coming up for air.
And that feeling has only grown stronger the longer we've attended.
As we get ready to launch into this new season, it feels so exciting for so many reasons and I wanted to share why it's so exciting for us.
First and most obviously, we have felt like misfits the last three months. Leaving a church community that you are involved in is hard, especially when you don't have another one to immediately go into (which has always been the case for us). While this time of transition was a great opportunity for us to regroup and figure out exactly what we wanted to be doing (and let's face it, there's no better time to have a few months off than during the summer when you can all be together as a family!), it was also tough as we weren't sure where we fit in. We had to be very intentional about keeping certain friendships thriving because we no longer had the safety net of "I'll see you at church this Sunday." It was also really tough to watch our kids, particularly our oldest, struggle through this transition. It's hard for adults to understand situations like this, so imagine how much harder it is for a six year old who is given VERY little details yet is completely uprooted from all her friends (the timing of school ending didn't help her either). There were some really tough moments: tears shed, anger and confusion…all totally normal expressions.
So it's exciting to finally be able to find a new community that is opening up their arms and their hearts to our family. As I said, we've attended this church most of the summer, without saying a word to the kids about what was happening behind the scenes (because I didn't want any heart broken again if this didn't work out). The kids took a couple of weeks to warm up to the kids program, but once they did, they have loved it. So when we told them that this is going to be our new church family last week, their response was filled with pure joy and great excitement!
Community is HUGE. And we are SO excited to be a part of a new community with our family.
Secondly, hubby finally has a job! YAY!!! While it's been incredibly nice to have him home all summer to help with the kids as well as be able to travel around at our leisure, it's also nice for him to be heading back to work. There's something about having a job…having responsibility…having a routine. He's really missed it, especially the last few weeks.
And as much as I love my dear husband, it's TIME! I don't think we've EVER spent this much time together…even when we were working together in years past. We always had separate offices and different roles, so we weren't always around each other. This time together has been great…truly it has, to bring us back together and regroup our family. But Lord knows, IT'S TIME! HA! (Love you, babe).
Thirdly, it's an exciting season for me personally as I'm finally starting to get my sleep apnea under control. For those of you who have been following along on Facebook and SnapChat, you will know what I'm talking about. For those of you have haven't, let me give you a brief history.
End of July I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is what happens when you stop breathing at night, for periods of time, during your sleep. I won't go into all the medical details behind understanding it (I'll save that for another post) but mine was SO severe that the doctor couldn't believe I was still functioning and RUSHED my case through to get fitted for the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine immediately.
It's been an interesting five weeks as I've tried to adjust to sleeping with this machine. But I'm happy to say that I'm finally starting to feel the positive results and I can tell, things can only go UP from here.
Again, this deserves it's own post, which I will do sometime soon, but waking up 96 times an hour, every hour of every night…the level of exhaustion that I was feeling from it was indescribable. And because of it, I was often too tired to do anything.
Now, with some renewed energy, I'm starting to feel like myself again. I'm waking up earlier and with energy to start my day (before I would take me about an hour to get out of bed). And so because of that, I'm already noticing positive changes for me.
I'm excited about what this fall season has in store for me physically. With the start of new routines for the kids and hubby, I'm starting a few of my own routines with exercise and healthy eating. I couldn't possibly try to loose weight while (unknowingly) dealing with severe sleep apnea. You're body doesn't burn fat when it's sleep deprived. So all of my previous efforts were futile, which explains why I was getting nowhere and frustrated.
This fall is a time to start tackling not just the physical side of my health but also a few other things that I've just been too tired to do. More on that later!
So, bringing it all back to the beginning when I said it feels like Christmas eve…it really does. Going to bed tonight, we are all a bit giddy, perhaps a tinge of nerves and a huge sense of excitement as we get ready to launch into this new season for our family!
With that said…we are SO excited to let you all know that Chris will be joining the team at The Olive Branch in Markham (only 20 minutes from us) as their Youth and Community Care Pastor! We are SO excited for this new season for our family and have already felt so welcomed into that community.
Unfortunately, many times when people think about the church today, their immediate thoughts are that they are filled with religious practices, certain expectations and judgments. What we love so much about The Olive Branch is that it's nothing like a 'traditional' church. We have found a super gracious community, that welcomes people as they are, providing hope to families and making a difference in the lives of everyone.
One thing for sure is…God IS faithful. Looking back three months ago, it was a dark time for us. We had NO idea where we would end up. There were lots of emotions and lots of fear that we felt. But we clung to God because if there's one thing we know in life…it's that He is faithful.
Looking back, even to when we first arrived in Toronto for one job, we can see now how He was writing another story without us even knowing it. He always has a plan, even when our plans don't work out. Even when our eyes can't see what's ahead, He knows. And He's got it all worked out for our good. We just need to trust.
So here's to new beginnings!
May it be GOOD.
May it be filled with LOVE.
May it be LIFE GIVING.
May it give God all the glory.
Thanks for journeying with us!
Love & Blessings,

But he could have become a drug dealer!

You could contact your dr did and ask for a new prescription for it. Sure it sounds a little sketchy but regular tylenol really doesn't do the trick
Well she's right in thinking that they are highly addictive. They are, I'm guessing you were prescribed hydrocodone which is EXTREMELY addictive. Most people do become addicted after using it for a legit reason because they take it too often and believe they still need it. You should really only use prescription pain meds if the pain is unbearable. Though she still shouldn't of thrown them out, she should've talked to you first. But mothers will be protective! Sorry OP FYL
His_Holiness | 18
They are only going to prescribe 40 5-500 Vicodin or so for wisdom teeth. Their supply would be gone far before they were addicted. Because as tolerance grows so do usage and that is just not very many pills
deloria_fml | 22
Fun fact: Chronic pain patients can be prescribed opiates and have a very low rate of addiction (around 2%). Now, OP's pain isn't chronic, but I happen to know from personal experience that if you are in legitimate pain, you tend to burn through opiates without getting particularly high and can handle much higher levels without developing a physical and/or mental dependency. If OP takes the medication as prescribed, there's no reason to assume s/he will develop an addiction. There's a reason s/he was given the medication. Being functional/not being in pain is sometimes quite important. Incidentally, depending on the surgery, it's quite possible she was just given low doses of codeine or tramadol, which aren't particularly addictive.
OhDearBetrayal | 25
I feel like I've read a similar FML on here before.
Don't quite know why my comment was disliked when I was being realistic. I've seen too many people become addicted to pain killers when their first use was innocent enough, I'm in no way saying the OP didn't need these pain killers I'm simply stating if it can be avoided, avoid pain killers.
102- that is true in most cases but I know in my experience that my friends have been able to go to the doctor and simply say hey I think I need hydros or xannax etc. and the doctor will prescribe it without really knowing if its needed, many doctors give painkillers to people because they make a profit "the OxyContin express" highlights Florida's doctors illegally prescribing medicine, furthermore there is more than one way to get painkillers, they are as easy to find on the street as weed. Be wary of the major addictive properties of them, people think they're so safe because their legal but they can be deadly
deloria_fml | 22
I've been taking Oxynorm (liquid oxycodone) for roughly three years to deal with chronic pain associated with endometriosis and juvenile cystic adenomyosis. People who are prescribed these things are well aware of their adverse effects. At least for me, it wasn't at all easy to get initially as doctors are weary of giving away opiates here (you need three different prescriptions). Generally, people who get this stuff do need it and only someone who is unaware of how debilitating pain is would dare to call it unnecessary or tell people not to take them. I'm sure we would all love to live a pain-free existence and not have to take them.
SammyS2012 | 21
Thats not fair though. Just because some people get addicted, doesnt mean his mom should take away his painkillers. I had spinal surgery when I was 13 and NEEDED the oxycotin (I doubt I'm actually spelling this right) because without it I was screaming in pain. If I'm correct, I think my mom had to sign paperwork saying it was addictive and there was a possibility i could get addicted. If his mom had a problem with the addictive properties she should have denied the medicine in the first place; medicine is expensive. (By the way, I didnt get addicted to the medicine.)
nature_girl_08 | 10
i would imagine that, if the medication were THAT easy to become addicted to with just one or two, low-dosage uses, it wouldn't be legal to use as a pain medication. I had all four of my wisdom teeth cut out a few summers ago, and I was prescribed Hydrocodone Oxycontin (hopefully I spelled that correctly). I was given a full bottle of pills, with instructions to take them every four hours or so (at least, I'm fairly sure those were the instructions; it's been awhile). For me, the dosage didn't even come close to giving me a high; it dulled the pain and made me very sleepy, and that was about it. Pain medications affect everyone differently, but to throw out your child's much needed pain medication because you're paranoid is absolutely ridiculous. I would have been absolutely and utterly miserable with pain if I hadn't had my medication. I definitely feel for you, OP.
GoodLookingGeese | 10
As a FML grandpa I remember it too...
deepunder | 17
At #90. The problem is that the Op didn't get to use painkillers. The mom's logic is like-stop rabid dog attacks by shooting puppies. U should give dogs a chance to live before putting them to sleep. In this case it's a "let the pain stop then determine if the Op gets addicted"
Rababco | 29
@90 people need painkillers because they're in pain! Besides, painkillers is a vague term, over-the-counter drugs like Ideprofine (can't spell it), or Tylenol are technically painkillers but are generally pretty harmless. Then you have really strong painkillers like Morphine (which can't even be prescribed outside of the hospital because it's so strong and addicting.) I have a low pain tolerance so I need larger doses of pain medication than most people. Without painkillers, many people (especially those who have chronic pain) wouldn't be able to function properly and would suffer.

Well in her defense I have heard of some people getting addicted to Vicodin after being prescribed to it. But she could have managed your pills instead of throwing them out....a parents paranoia I tell you
Sputnikspak | 13
People using narcotics short-term post-operatively RARELY get addicted. I was on morphine for two years while waiting for a second surgery, and even though my body built up a resistance and I would experience some nasty withdrawal if I forgot to take my pills, I was not 'addicted' to them. A physical addiction is easy to break - I weaned off the meds, I'm fine now. It's a whole other kettle of fish to be psychologically addicted to something.
coolboy675 | 16
By definition, if you would suffer withdrawal symptoms, then you WERE addicted to the medication.
BauerMegan | 31
#23 she said it was a PHYSICAL addiction. She never said she was not addicted.
horneyhic | 15
Grow a pair and you don't need them all my wisdom teethe were about as impacted as possible and I never took a single painkiller after
gracehi | 31
I was prescribed Vicodin when I had my wisdom teeth pulled, but I only took one dose. It made me so drowsy I couldn't stay awake and so nauseous I threw up. It was so terrible I chose to just deal with the pain of the oral surgery rather than the side effects of Vicodin. Honesty, I don't understand why people take that drug for "recreation." I guess it must have a drastically different effect on some people.
XXgutterflowerXX | 18
I have all 4 of mine cut out because they were impacted & was prescribed Vicodin. Only a few days worth but it still does get given to people for teeth.
Lebush | 27
#23 Using that logic I am addicted to my antidepressant and my blood pressure medication I had major neck surgery when I was 17. I had a fairly useless Dr and I didn't know to ask for pain relief, my recovery took 3 months. 2 years later I had the same surgery again, this time with adequate pain relief. My recovery took 2 weeks. You need proper pain relief to recover properly. Having my impacted wisdom teeth out was one of the most painful surgeries I have had, and I have had a few. My sympathies are with you OP.
Mandybruin | 15
I was prescribed Vicodin when my wisdom teeth were pulled but the dosage was only high enough to knock out the pain. There was no secondary gain whatsoever.
beebea87 | 7
I've been both psychologically and physically addicted to different substances, and I can say a mental addiction is much easier than a physical one. With mental addiction you know deep down you can quit and it won't harm you... with physical addiction, you become desperate very quickly to avoid with drawl bc its after effects can be felt for months afterward depending on what you were taking and cause real pain and discomfort - with drawl can be deadly depending on the substance and amount taken for an extended period -. My mental addiction was an illegal one, my physical addiction was a legal script over 2 years and I can honestly tell you I will never take an opiate regularly again. I do sometimes take my prescription when in severe pain, but would rather be clear headed, and most days push through the pain. A physical addiction means that your body is dependent on those drugs to function, mind over matter does not apply, a mental addiction simply takes willpower.
queerdragon | 20
I was given pain medication when I had my wisdom teeth removed, and I didn't become addicted.
BlowinChronic | 18
They're free if you dig through the trash and find them.
Pilkipedia | 8
Twenty bucks, little man. Put that shiz in my hand.
By helpfulwhale | 12
Oh you know, just casually gonna let my child be in excruciating amounts of pain because clearly he/she is going to become a hardcore drug dealer if I let them have the prescribed pain meds. Mom logic..
horneyhic | 15
Not that painful they had to break my jaw repeadly to remove my wisdom teeth and I never took any any of my prescribed painkillers just sick it up
MissyPastaCreeps | 16
Don't give his mother ideas!

BauerMegan | 31
Sarcasm. A subtle language.
Hiimhaileypotter | 49
I'm glad my mom doesn't follow this thought pattern. I'd've been in hell last summer after I got my 7 (yes, it's possible) wisdom teeth out!

Fr Ludueno, who had lived in Brazil for 34 years, was rushed to hospital but later died of his wounds.

Wonder. I wish I'd written it. I'd like to cross out R.J. Palacio and write in Alyson Gerber. It's everything I love about middle grade in one book.
For one thing, there's no caramel coating. August — a 10-year-old boy with extreme facial abnormalities — tells it like it is. He isn't afraid to speak the truth, as he sees it. I drink my coffee black — no sugar — so this makes me very happy.
August is real, likable, and at times hilarious, but the book is serious and the emotional core is deeply rooted in his painful experience and journey. Nine to fourteen-year-olds can handle tough topics. And whether we like it or not, I think they do. So they should be addressed in literature.
While this story is specific, there is a universal element. On the inside, August wants the same thing as every other fifth grader (and I would argue as every person, at any age) — he wants to belong somewhere. He wants to find friends and a place where he can be himself. He wants acceptance.
August is an ordinary ten-year-old boy on the inside, which by nature makes him a part-time tough guy. He's just starting to reject his parents' affection and fighting for a sense of independence, yet he still has moments that remind us he's only ten (and they are so sweet). The intricate balance of extremely guarded, but also vulnerable is beautifully done here. It's hard not to laugh and cry at the same time.
Here are a few additional things that make me think R.J. Palacio is a genius:
#1. August never describes his physical appearance and yet I can see him so clearly. It's like I'm Summer and we're eating lunch together right now.
#2. Wonder has eight parts. Parts one, six, and eight are told from August's perspective and the other five are written from other points of view, all in first person. Oh, and did I mention that the story is seamless and each perspective adds another amazing emotional layer? I mean, come on. It's too good.

I don't know if you have noticed it yet, and I don't mean to scare you but we're halfway through October. Being halfway through October means that before we know it the Halloween costumes and jack-o-lanterns will be replaced with turkeys and pumpkin pie. And practically a second after that, those same turkeys will be replaced with Christmas trees and Santa Claus. And with the holidays comes, my favorite part, big holiday family meals. If your life revolves around food like mine then you have probably already thought about these upcoming meals and have begun to do a little planning. Well let me help you, to spice things up a bit serve these deliciously creamy horseradish and sour cream mashed potatoes.
When I shared a recipe for Creamy Mashed Potatoes , I alluded to the fact that mashed potatoes are one of the foods that I simply can not live with out. Just ask my family. In that same post someone left a comment suggesting adding some horseradish to them. Now there was an idea that got me thinking. I had tried horseradish mashed potatoes before but never made them on my own. With my batch I decided to add some sour cream and chopped fresh chives as well. They are creamy, a little spicy and have a wonderful fresh chive flavor.
Place diced potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes.
Return potatoes to pan, add in butter, sour cream, heavy cream and horseradish. Whip with hand held mixer until smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in fresh chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

The Zanesville Police Department received a donation to help their K-9 fund Monday from an unlikely source.
Officials from the Noble Correctional Institution presented Chief Eric Lambes and Officer Mike Schiele, with a painting of injured K-9 Bosco created by an inmate in their arts and crafts program.
They also donated more than $200 that was left over in a fund from their K-9 that passed away.
The inmate was not from the area, but heard Bosco's story and wanted to create a painting for the F.O.P/Z.P.D dinner and auction benefit for Bosco.
"He was very excited it was going to be used for a good purpose and he's looking forward to the fact that hopefully it will help in healing Bosco, but like I said, he didn't really do it for his own credit he did it for the benefit which I think it also an additional benefit to him," says Joel Burris, Noble Correctional Institution Public Information Office.
Officer Schiele says Bosco's doing well and even got to come home from the hospital for a night over the weekend. Schiele say's he's amazed at the quality of the painting and may even place a bid on it himself.
"The subject that did it is really talented and it's nice to know that everybody cares and we really appreciate it and to be able to auction it off at our spaghetti dinner on Thursday," says Schiele.
The spaghetti dinner and silent auction will be Thursday September 17th at the North Terrace Church of Christ in Zanesville from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m.

The Death of Mao : The Tangshan Earthquake and the Birth of the New China Hardback
by James Palmer
In the summer of 1976, Mao lay dying, and China was struck by a great natural disaster.
The earthquake that struck Tangshan, a shoddily built mining city, was one of the worst in recorded history, killing half a million people.
But the Chinese Communist rulers in Beijing were distracted, paralysed by in-fighting over who would take control after Mao finally died.
Would Mao's fanatical wife and her collaborators, the Gang of Four, be allowed to continue the Cultural Revolution, which had shut China off from the world and reduced it to poverty and chaos? Or would Deng Xiaoping and his reformist friends be able to take control and open China up to the market, and end the near permanent state of civil war?
Palmer recreates the tensions of that fateful summer, when the fate of China and the world were in the balance - as injured and starving people crawled among the ruins of a stricken city.

Review by edwinbcn
The death of Mao. The Tangshan earthquake and the birth of the New China is an incredibly shoddy piece of historicism. The author, who claims to have read History, should really know better than to publish such an ill-researched and carelessly edited book. It is only by a small margin that the author, James Palmer, belongs to the so-called balinghou The Chinese equivalent of Generation X, which, as Palmer wrote elsewhere "They do not bother to check the details." This harsh criticism applies very much so to Mr Palmer's own book.Living in Beijing since 2004, Mr Palmer is apparently unable to read Chinese. According to the acknowledgements, pp. 250 ff., Palmer gathered the materials for his book by asking Chinese people to interview Chinese eye witnesses, and had these interviews transcribed and translated, to be used as the basic material for his book. This work was supplemented by archival and photographic research by his assistant. While in itself, this research method is valid, and very interesting, perhaps even novel to China, the author should realize that it is a potential source of inaccuracies, and that many details need to be checked.Apparently, this has not happened, or was not done carefully enough. Thus, The death of Mao. The Tangshan earthquake and the birth of the New China is full of mistakes. The distance from Tangshan to Hebei is not 800 miles (p. 169), but 465 km (289 miles); Henan Province does not border on Beijing, but Hebei does. The system of Foreign Exchange Certificates was not abolished in 1998, but on January 1, 1995. The 2008 Sichuan earthquake struck at 2:28 PM, not 2:48 PM. These are just some of the many facts that jump into the readers eye, which suggest that careful checking of other facts may reveal many more inaccuracies. Many of these facts can easily be checked.Furthermore, some facts are circumspect, with questionable accuracy or apparent irrelevance. In a chapter describing the famine caused by the Great Leap Forward in the late 1950s - early 1960s it is rather difficult to tell what the relevance is of the fact that "bad families" in 1976 were entitled to 500 kg rice and 50 kg of cooking oil for a family unit of six people. Officially, in 1960, "office workers were entitled to 30 pounds of grain per person per month, labourers slightly more (...) and two ounces of cooking oil" (source: The Man on Mao's Right. From Harvard Yard to Tiananmen Square. My Life inside China's Foreign Ministry by Ji Chaozhu, published in 2008. In 1984, rice consuption in China stood at 104 kg per person per year.Another problem with The death of Mao. The Tangshan earthquake and the birth of the New China is that it lacks a clear focus. The book tries to deal with two historical events, which would each better be served separately. This indecisiveness, most likely pushed by the publisher, is reflected in the numerous titles by which the book was published in different editions, e.g. Heaven Cracks, Earth Shakes: The Tangshan Earthquake and the Death of Mao's China, The Death of Mao: The Tangshan Earthquake and the Birth of the New China and The Death of Mao: The Tangshan Earthquake and the Birth of the New China. Obviously, the "Death of Mao" is not the same as "the Death of Mao's China". The use of the term "the New China" is quite inaccurate when writing about the modern history of China, as the "New China" is defined as the founding of the People's Republic of China. These confusing titles are the result of the faint traditional Chinese notion that earthquakes and other natural disasters are an indication that the ruling dynasty has lost "the mandate of heaven". Palmer very clearly want to force this link onto the readers' consciousness.The structure of the book consists of six chapters, alternating dealing with the Tangshan Earthquake and the history of China under Chaiman Mao. In chapter 7, named "Aftershocks" the author describes China's history since 1976. This chapter consists of unashamed China-bashing, a compilation of facts, rumour and hearsay to demonstrate that "nothing changed fundamentally: The birth of the New China by Caesarian section in the Square of Heavenly Peace.It is to be hoped that Mr Palmer spends a little bit more time on checking his facts when writing about China, and be more concerned with the quality of his work than sales.
Review by xuebi
Palmer begins by discussing the utterly devastating Tangshan Earthquake of 1976 and weaves that with the narrative of the death of Mao Zedong and the factional infighting that followed. With eye-witness statements and well-written research, Palmer is able to argue that 1976 marked a watershed in Chinese politics, although his focus on the eye-witness and personal stories mean that the political infighting that followed Mao's death is not explored fully. Nevertheless, Palmer's account of natural disaster and politics is good historical research and very readable; and with an epilogue focusing on the Sichuan earthquake, he draws parallels between China then and now.

Aston Martin celebrates the 50th year Anniversary of its Le Mans victory. To get to the top spot again, Aston Martin comes with the new LMP1 class Le Mans car that was introduced this week at the Paul Ricard Test Track. Today, for the first time, a couple of LMP1 cars went to test at the French Paul Ricard Test Track.
There were other twenty-six Le Mans cars present with around 3,500 enthusiasts gathered to witness the event since it was opened to the public for the first time in a long decade. The Le Mans Series will begin on April 5 2009.
Team Aston Martin was pleased with the performance of the car on its first day of testing. A setback was encountered, however, when the Czech driver met an accident thereby prematurely cutting the test.
The team however is confident that they can quickly recover from this setback and be ready with two race-ready cars in time for the Barcelona. According to the team the new drivers are adapting to the car and are getting along well with the team while the older members of the team are also doing great.
LMP1 cars are equipped with carbon fiber monocoque chassis with steel spaceframe support for both the powerplant and gearbox. Power is provided by a v12 engine based on the DB9 with 6.0 liter displacement and can generate around 650hp and 550lb-ft of torque.
Power is channeled to the wheels through a 6-speed sequential gearbox fitted with a triple-plate carbon clutch and comes with 15 inch wide rear tires. The ECU and data system of the LMP1, just like the F1 cars, can instantaneously transmit car data to the engineers back at the pits for analysis.
The difference is that the car cannot receive information while mobile. The Aston Martin LMP1 will come with the orange and blue Golf Oil livery with numbers 007 and 009 at the Le Mans in Barcelona, Spain on April 5. They will also participate in the upcoming 24-Hours of Le Mans beginning June 13, 2009.

Window Lock Replacement
A home owner from Ventnor, NJ says:
June 26, 2013
I need replacement for window locks in attached file. The larger window lock has part # of 536-B w/ a capital L (possibly for left side). The associated window has "DACO" inscription. I don't have any additional info for smaller lock.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
June 27, 2013
Hey, thanks for posting. These are actually known as tilt latches. The big one appears similar to our 26-228 & 26-229. What do you think? Carefully compare the dimensions we show to your own sample and see how they match up.
I'm not sure about the smaller one though. It could be our 26-390 & 26-391, but I can't tell. Are they a match? If not, could I see an undamaged version?

I've lately discovered a passion for our new Top 3 section. That is why, on this Manic Monday, we send your adrenaline levels soaring with our Top 3 of the creepiest creatures to ever appear on the big or little scream. These are my personal favourites – or nightmares, depends on how you see it – but who would you pick? Let us know and have a jolly good start into this new week.
Top 3 Creepy Creatures
3. Pennywise the Dancing Clown from It (1990)
|© ABC | Source: dailygrail
Now isn't this the stuff nightmares are made off? Clowns are scary. End of discussion. I mean Pennywise is actually laughing on this picture and he has colourful balloons in his hand, but don't tell me that if you happened to cross him in real life your first instinct wouldn't be to flee asap.
2. Mrs. Ganush from Drag Me to Hell (2009)
|© Ghost House Pictures | Source: imdb
This not-so-nice lady with her milky eye and the flying handkerchief is about the last person you want to meet in a parking lot in the middle of the night. Especially not after incurring her wrath just moments earlier. So respect the elderly and steer clear of parking lots after dark and you should hopefully be fine.
1. The Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
|© Esperanto Films | Source: villains.wikia
Guillermo Del Toro's masterpiece of a dark, twisted fairytale brought forth the number one of my creepy creature list. I'm actually not exactly faint-hearted, especially not when it comes to movies, but I still remember sitting in the cinema hall with my heart racing as the Pale Man came to life. With his flabby, elastic skin, his grotesque, disjointed way of moving and the eyes where they aren't supposed to be (first on a plate in front of him and then in his palms), the Pale Man makes one hideous sight. And the fact that he loves to devour little children or helpful little fairies leads to the assumption that his character is on par with his revolting exterior.

This study reports on the results of a 3-yr study conducted at a high elevation site in the southern Appalachians to determine if cloudwater and ozone (O3) adversely affect the growth of red spruce seedlings (Picea rubens Sarg.). Field chambers were established at Whitetop Mountain, VA (elevation 1689 m), in 1988. Three replicate chamber treatments were constructed to produce the following treatments: (i) exclusion of clouds and O3 (COE), (ii) ambient O3 with clouds removed (CE), and (iii) exposure to both clouds and O3 (CC). Ambient air plots (AA) were also included in order to assess possible chamber effects. Potted native seedlings from the surrounding forest and seedlings grown from seed collected in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSM seedlings) were used in the study. After 3 yr, seedlings were impacted little by the reduction in pollution levels within the CE and COE chambers. No differences in seedling diameter growth were found for either seedling type, and height growth differences that were detected indicated more height growth in treatments with ambient O3 and cloudwater. Minimal biomass effects were also found. Increased nutrient leaching of needle Ca and Mg was observed in cloudwater treatments, but needle concentrations were not reduced to deficiency levels. Removal of both cloudwater and O3 (COE) did not enhance photosynthesis (Ps) rates for native or GSM seedlings. However, Ps of seedlings in which only cloudwater was removed (CE) was lower in 1-yr-old needles (C + 1) of native and GSM seedlings, and in 2-yr-old needles (C + 2) of native seedlings. These lower Ps rates of CE seedlings were correlated with lower needle N concentrations, indicating that cloudwater NO3− and NH4+ may have provided a fertilizer effect within AA and CC treatments. Respiration of current year needles of native seedlings was not affected by treatments; however, respiration was lower in older needles (C + 1 and C +2) in which O3 and cloudwater were removed (CE and COE).Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

When people ask what I do for a living and I tell them that I am an ergonomist, I typically get a confused expression, followed by "Oh, so that has something to do with ergonomics, right?" The conversation then goes one of three ways: 1. "I notice some pain in my hand. Do you think I have carpal tunnel?" 2. "Ergonomics, that stuff costs a lot of money, doesn't it?" 3. "Can you help me get me a new chair for my office?" The truth is: I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose their disorders; ergonomics is not a cash cow; and I do more than provide new chairs for people. Although public awareness of the word "ergonomics" has increased during the past several years, public understanding of what "ergonomics" actually means is limited. Most people who are queried will say that ergonomics is "about chairs" or "something to do with health and safety."

Worthy mentioning
I think, at least for those of us with existing Meteor applications in the wild that use Blaze, it's a tough call.
We have a few choices without starting over completely:
> Stay the course with Blaze. In this case the feature set and bugs we have today, will most likely persist for some time to come. Like it or not we probably won't get more advanced features like the Vue.js and React.js community enjoy.
> Within our existing Blaze-front end application, try to incorporate Vue.js as much as possible. This could mean using great integration packages from @akryum to stand up new screens with Vue.js and over time replacing existing Blaze screens with Vue.js when we can. The only problem is, most of our Blaze apps either use Iron Router or FlowRouter, I myself use the latter. And in this case, from what I gather from @akryum, Vue.js doesn't play nicely with Iron Router or FlowRouter. Instead Vue should use vue-router. So we're in a bit of a bind here, and it seems like a no-go situation.
> The third approach I was hoping for was to get the Blaze API overlay on Vue.js. So far, we don't know if this is possible. If @akryum is able to achieve this feat, I think the flood gates will open up to Vue.js for us Meteor enthusiasts currently on Blaze.
I am not a React fan because React takes too much time to create a simple project with meteor. Vue.JS is awesome.
I don't see why Blaze needs to be replaced or indeed why Vue is the best alternative. Its a very nicely designed and implemented library and you get the benefits or vdom, better performance, components if you wish but I don't think it fundamentally changes the programming paradigm.
The value of React IMO is that it enables us to reason about and build declarative, data driven apps using mostly FP principles. That may sound like buzzwords but this is the primary reason it has seen such high adoption, not the fact that it added vdom or was from FB.
If I have to learn yet another DSL, I'd like to stay with Blaze and remain compatible. It'd be great if Vue were to become a first class citizen with official support from MDG, in the same way as React/Angular are supported as the rendering layer today. The other advantage of Vue us that its more prescriptive than React, e.g. including a router, and that is in the Meteor spirit of favoring convention over configuration.
Integrating with Apollo/GraphQL/any future data layer is also going to be a problem with any templating language, it simply cannot be done without extending the DSL. This is one of the real benefits of using plain JS everywhere as you don't have any restrictions.
From what I read, MDSG resources are limited and they have a lot of items on the backlog - Apollo, npm Meteor, webpack, all of which are priorities. Adopting Vue (either directly or underneath) doesn't seem like a priority above those, esp if work on Blaze2 is already far enough along.
Well, it all depends. If you want want the most advanced and performant UI framework, Vue.js is it ATM -- not React -- IMO. Now what Vue.js lacks, and Blaze possess is of course deep Meteor integration. Some of us hope this can be remedied, or otherwise worked around somehow. I love the Blaze API but want everything else Vue.js has to offer. Some hoped we could build a Blaze2 on top of Vue.js.
I would be willing to put in the time to learn Vue.js, but again there is no real path for someone that has a Blaze legacy application as a foundation.
I am all for building Blaze2 on top of Vue and wish all success to the project trying to do so. My only concern would be if the view layer was switched to use Vue and Blaze was deprecated/discontinued.
Current Meteor devs would be forced to learn a new technology. The same concern applies if Meteor switched to React, which is why I think it won't happen, MDG has a pretty good track record of maintaining compatibility.
Whether Vue or React are more advanced is a separate issue, I think there's a lot more to it than raw performance. e.g. Inferno is clearly the champion when it comes to performance. React Fiber, if it comes out in a timely manner, will narrow the gap. These things are always in flux. Choosing a view layer for a huge framework like Meteor would consider a lot more issues.
I feel like, as a Meteor developer, I'm cheerfully strolling along the golden streets of my secret city in the clouds with Blaze +ViewModel, and that there's a Holy View Layer War going on down on earth.
(I'm fully aware it's not the most performant option, if all you care about is rendering speed, but you can't beat the developer experience)
Wouldn't it be probably simpler to learn and easier to get backward compatibility to go for Riot.js instead of Vue?
What would it take beyond:- Integration with Meteor tracker?- Adding Spacebar as a pre-processor option in Riot.js in addition to the existing Jade/Pug, CoffeeScript, LiveScript, TypeScript, ES6, Stylus, Less and Sass?
What are the killer features that Vue has and Riot lacks?
Just my disturbing 2 cents...
How do I use Vue in my meteor application as a beginner coming from blaze. Blaze should just be for older apps and newbies.
Here's a framework comparison, Riot is in there: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/comparison.html
There seems to be no master guide AFAIK. @akryum has built a few libraries/tools to help integrate Vue with Meteor. He seems to be the only one working on such projects ATM.
That's kinda the point of this entire thread (if you read the first post you'll know what I mean). Blaze is kinda done from what I can tell. Sure there is a little work going on, but nothing too far reaching I'm afraid.
We were hoping to keep the Blaze API, and build a Blaze2 on top of Vue, keeping it as backwards compatible as possible with Blaze1 (as to not break too much in the transition). Thereby keeping the Blaze we all know and love, but also gaining the unbridled performance and top of the line feature-set of Vue.
As does Vue with functional components and render functions (or JSX). React doesn't have much more other than a bigger ecosystem compared to Vue.
Yes, I have seen that but:
This is on the Vue website, so of course it's going to be biased towards Vue's marketed "strengths";
Even though, what is the killer difference in favor of Vue in this list in the context of Meteor integration?
Doesn't Meteor built-in reactivity already provide automatic conditional rendering?
Meteor already provides built-in build tools and the flow router, so the supposed more sophisticated router and more standard build tools of Vue seems irrelevant to our purpose here;
The statement on dirty checking is controversial and more of a playing around grey area definitions https://muut.com/i/riot-js/using:riotjs-vs-vuejs
IMHO opinion virtual DOM vs. dirty checking vs. a little bit of both is not a pro or cons in itself, without representative and diverse app benchmarking empirically but rigorously comparing the performance of the frameworks based on each approach.
I'd suggest using the official router of the view framework, so using the Vue router would be a good idea.
I'm looking forward to hearing progress on this!
And I'm hoping MDG does make Vue a first-class citizen. I'm not sure why there's not much excitement from MDG about Vue! Seems to much more for React and Angular.
Can somebody please add Riot to this benchmark? https://github.com/mitar/meteor-blaze-benchmark :-)
From the first glance Vue seem to be much more understandable and clean compared to React. Somehow it feels a natural evolution of Blaze..
I couldn't be happier finally this is happening
I've build a large app, using Blaze + ViewModel, even being the slowest framework, It works just fine for me! (another Blaze fan here!).I agree that retro compatibility with Blaze is necessary for Blaze2, the ViewModel approach in terms of usability was the natural next step in Blaze for me, and now I look at Vue, and looks like the natural step forward.
@akryum started this amazing proof of concept for Blaze2, and I think now we should get to work and follow him on that path.
I think the smart (elegant?) approach to this development, is to divide it in two projects:
This way, the ones who go the Vue way would want to maintain the Vue project, making Blaze2 a lot easier to make/maintain for the rest of us.
Thinking only in terms of retro compatibility, Riot could be a better fit.

In December 2016, a dark day in American history will be commemorated by director Peter Berg in Patriots Day. Lead by Mark Wahlberg, J. K. Simmons, John Goodman, Kevin Bacon and Michelle Monaghan, audiences will relive the horror of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, which flung an innocent city community into the epicenter of a manhunt following a terrorist attack. Here's the official teaser trailer:
When explosions rocked America a short distance from the finish line at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, unspeakable suffering was unleashed unto the people of the city. Not only did three spectators die, including an 8-year-old boy, but 260 other innocent people were wounded in an act of aggression that continues to haunt us to this day.
Yet, what exactly happened on the fateful sun-drenched day back in April 2013? What is the true story behind the Boston Marathon bombing depicted in Patriots Day? In preparation for the movie's release in early 2017, familiarize yourself with the events below.
The True Story Behind Patriots Day, The Boston Marathon Bombing
A Patriots Day Marred With Bloodshed
On April 15, 2013, the day marking the 117th Boston Marathon, more than 23,000 participants turned up to test their endurance in the town of Hopkinton, west of the city of Boston. The event had been running for years, commemorating the 1775 battles of Lexington and Concord that sparked the American Revolutionary War that occurred centuries ago.
With the marathon in full swing, at precisely 2:49 in the afternoon, two pressure-cooker bombs hidden in backpacks went off 12 seconds apart amid crowds of spectators near the finish line at Boylston Street. At this point in time, 5,600 runners were still in the race, with many running for cover as the two explosions struck. Here's the news coverage from the deadly attack, provided by an eyewitness who recalled how the impact of the force of the blast threw him to the ground:
Following the attacks, President Barack Obama vowed:
"We will find out who did this. We'll find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice."

An Intense Manhunt Ensues
Reeling from the deadly terrorist attack, more than 1,000 federal law enforcement officers were summoned to find the perpetrators and survey the 15 square block crime scene. Two days later, after scouring hundreds of hours of CCTV footage, FBI detectives began to focus on two men and released surveillance images to the public in a plea for information — in Patriots Day, Mark Wahlberg's character Sgt. Tommy Saunders is at the heart of these proceedings.
Then, news broke that a 27-year-old police officer had been shot dead at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The murder would later be connected to the Tsarnaev brothers (26-year-old Tamerlan and 19-year-old Dzhokhar), who tried to steal Sean Collier's weapon and car. The men then tried to hijack a passing-by SUV, taking the driver hostage and telling him that they were in fact the Boston Marathon bombers.
However, their luck was to quickly run out. After making a brief stop at a gas station in near-by Cambridge, the hostage escaped, calling the police. Tracking the GPS signal of a mobile phone left in the backseat of the vehicle, the FBI were able to follow the Tsarnaev brothers, leading to hundreds of shots being fired on Watertown street, a quiet suburb in Boston.
Boston City Shuts Down
Finally, one of the brothers, Tamerlan Tsarneav, was tackled by law enforcement officers, only to be run over by Dzhokhar trying to get away in a stolen SUV. Clinging on to his life, Tamerlan was taken hospital and died a short time after.
Focusing their attention on Dzhokar, the second brother who managed to slip away, police shut down most of the Boston area on April 19. Citizens were advised to stay in their home and businesses were advised to remain closed. As military personnel patrolled the city streets and police officers hastily conducted door-to-door searches, the people of Boston prayed that this nightmare would soon end.
And, just as the imposed curfew was about to be lifted, the police received a call from a resident in Watertown. Venturing out for a few minutes to inspect his boat, David Henneberry came face-to-face with "a man covered with blood under a tarp." Soon after, the police arrived to arrest Dzhokhr Tsarnaev.
Who Were The Tsarnaev Brothers?
Once both suspects were fully accounted for, information regarding the Tsarnaev brothers spread like wildfire through news outlets all over the world.
It came out that Dzhokhar was a sophomore at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth and his older brother, Tamerlan, was married man with a young child. Born in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, they moved to America in 2002 after their parents applied for political asylum there. Both became naturalized U.S. citizens around 2012.
Although neither were found to have direct ties to any terrorist group, it became apparent that the two brothers had been radicalized and been motivated by extremist Islamic beliefs. They had apparently obtained step-by-step guides on how to build bombs from an online newsletter published by al-Qaeda.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Is Sentenced To Death
The true story behind Patriots Day reached a conclusion in July 2013. Despite pleading to not guilty to 30 federal charges against him, the jury returned with a guilty verdict for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
After 14 hours of deliberation, the Boston Marathon bomber was sentenced to death on May 15, 2015. In January 2016, a judge also ordered Tsarnaev to pay over $101 million in restitution to the innocent victims of that ill-fated day in April 2013 — a day that will always stand out as a very dark one in American history.
Patriots Day hits theatres on December 21, 2016.

Jack Holmes has followed his former Standard Life Investments colleague David Ennett to Kames Capital where he has been appointed as an investment manager on its high yield bond team.
He will report into Ennett, who quit SLI earlier this year and swiftly joined Kames as head of high yield.
Kames head of fixed income investment strategy, Phil Milburn, also recently re-joined the firm after a period of ill health.
Previously Holmes was an analyst on SLI's covering a variety of sectors including general industrials, waste and recycling and oil and gas services.
Kames head of fixed income David Roberts says: "The appointment of Jack to our team further strengthens our high yield capabilities and, coupled with the recent return of Phil and the appointment of David, I would say that Kames now has one of the most experienced and recognised high yield franchises across the UK and Europe."
