The Goddess of Now welcomes you to the 2018 growing season, the start of the natural year! The new season begins with the Vernal Equinox, on March 20th as the Sun moves from dreamy Pisces, into the self-directed, independent, first sign of the zodiac, Aries. New plans and projects are normally favored under this energy. This year, however, spring begins with a bit of a review of what we've been up to over the past few weeks, as Mercury, the Messenger, retrogrades on March 22. So, take your time before launching into something new and altogether different. Instead, use this period for spring cleaning your life! Make decisions about what is and isn't working for you, release anything that doesn't light you up, clean your closets, and complete or delete old projects. Mercury resumes forward movement on April 15, just in time for the Aries New Moon, with a big, bold invitation to take action on those things that spark your passion.
This spring, we are shifting out of a long-range trend that favored a proactive Warrior Goddess response, when we were feeling empowered, and a flight or fight reaction, when we weren't. Uranus, the ingenious rule-breaker of the zodiac, that inspires new ideas with flashes of insight and the breakdown of old structures, is completing its 7-8 year journey through Aries and will soon cross the sign-line, into Taurus. The new vibe will be more aligned with reimagining the Earth Goddess, representing our sensual nature, amplifying the Feminine, considering innovative ways for women to say no to archaic patriarchal programming and show up in the world in a way that allows real, positive change to occur. There is a Goddess revolution underway and it will not look the way we think it will. May we all be open to this happening in ways that surprise, delight and encourage us to live more fully from the heart.
Sending an abundance of spring blessings to each of you reading this!

Here are a few observations about giving among the millennials at your church. If you're thinking "What millennials?", well, that's a great topic for a later post, but for now let's talk about the younger adults already attending your church. These tips are hardly earth-shaking but they are a distillation of many suggestions and may give you some ideas to consider.
But before the suggestions about the millennials… don't forget about the current culture in your congregation. A friend recounted the experience at her church, when a new youngish pastor arrived five years ago. For one thing, the pastor eliminated the collection plate, which intentionally or not sent the message that giving to the church was not important. Second, the pastor stopped the prevailing practice of gently contacting parishioners who had missed attendance for a number of weeks, which intentionally or not sent the message that attending church was not important. Thirdly, and most significantly, the pastor seemed uninterested in the lives and stories of the older members of the congregation, apparently focusing on bringing younger members into the church.
By the time that pastor recently moved on, church attendance was down, especially among the older members (there were some but not that many new young members), and the financial picture had grown consistently worse. And the reality is, it didn't have to be that way. The church had actually been in a great position to grow, but mistakes, serious mistakes, were made. So, in your eagerness to appeal to millennials, don't forget your existing flock, especially those who actually attend services, have expendable income and are used to supporting a church. Seems obvious but then…
OK, with that caveat, let's look at some suggestions about millennials. Keep in mind these are generalizations.
- First and foremost, they're not that interested in institutions… like church, for instance. But they're very interested in causes, in actions with a discernable purpose. They will not be attracted to a plea to balance the church budget, but they will support actions that impact people's lives. It's not unlike stories I heard years ago, from rural pastors, who would claim that their members weren't very responsive to an annual pledge drive, but give them a cause (a new roof, a new ministry, etc.) and everyone jumped on board.
- So, tell stories that appeal and attract, that engage the interest of young adults (watch our video on inviting lay speakers to share their stewardship stories). Be specific, give examples, bring in speakers, offer opportunities and activities for action and connection.
- Which means… develop relationships. Yes, millennials like social media (more about that in a minute) but they also crave real human connection. If you and your church are open and transparent AND provide channels for connection, young adults will respond. For instance, our church is active in supporting refugees and immigrants, to the point of providing housing and meals to a family for one week each month. Inviting church members to be part of that ministry not only is essential to providing the ministry, it also connects people's minds and hearts to the mission of your church. Yes, websites and social media sites are important, but especially insofar as they lead to personal contact.
- And your mission takes money. Millennials know things cost, so don't be afraid to talk about money. Be open and honest about your church finances, how it works, what it takes, etc. Don't be afraid to ask. And make it easy to give. Younger adults value mobile giving (don't eliminate that collection plate though!), so facilitate giving through your website and online giving. And like the rest of us, millennials are used to monthly bills (at least for their phones), so encourage recurring monthly giving.
In all of this, think of millennial stewardship, generosity, giving, as part of a longer practice. The young adults in your church probably don't have as much money as older members, and they may not have a lifelong habit of supporting a church, but they are the future of your congregation. Without forgetting the rest of your members, reaching out to millennials has to be a key part of your stewardship program.

Read Out Loud: And Other Ways to Get Out of a Reading Rut
It's not true that professors like loading you up with busy work such as reading. They're actually assigning you pages they find necessary to the subject they're teaching. Perhaps you recently had to scour 70 pages to be caught up by the next discussion post, it's likely that you hate your book right now, and the act of reading.
Don't let the endless supply of pages and new information overwhelm you into a frustrated stupor, instead try these tips to avoid a reading rut:
- Read out loud: You can whisper to yourself if you're in public. Hearing the text may help it click better, and it keeps different parts of your brain engaged during the process.
- Stop and reflect: If you're at a point in the chapter that's a bit more complex, then stop and sketch out what you're reading. Drawing a scenario will help you to remember it better as well.
- Cut up the reading into smaller sections: Let's say you have 6 chapters to read, chop it up by chapter, or by subject matter. That way you can prioritize the content.
- Discuss the material: You can do this with a family member, friend, or co-worker. Even though they may not know what you're talking about up front, it will give you a chance to explain what you're learning, in turn creating more interest to finish what you've started reading.
- Make it an event: If you are able to meet up with classmates, set up a virtual or live event to meet in real time and "read" together. You can read the same material and make notes, or read separate chapters and get together in the middle.
With online education reading is an essential part of the process. If reading was fun before you started school, then it should continue to be fun. Try these tips, or add a few of your own. Don't let reading for class get tedious, develop an engaging system so you don't slack off on your reading assignments for class.

The Call
I have seen many thrillers, but I'm surprised about how few thrillers about the suburban environment actually exist. I can think of a lot of movies with suspenseful material from the city to the military as the setting, but you don't see a lot of these kind of films that look like it could happen next door. I think that much can be covered from this landscape as Rod Serling used this kind of idea all the time on The Twilight Zone. I can tell you that as a child, I had a big fear of potential burglars and kidnappers. In my mind, no matter how pretty a picture can look, something ugly can emerge without warning.
What I like about the idea of suburban thrillers is that danger can come to anyone; suburban's are the most of the unsuspecting. One simple day at work can become the fight of their life. Take the case of a 911 operator. Though they listen to the darker sides of life, the police are the ones that have to handle the dirty work. So life is work isn't too much for these phone operators…with exceptions. On such operator will become responsible for finding a serial killer in The Call.
In Los Angeles, Jordan Turner (played by Halle Barry) runs the normal life of a shift worker who handles calls with care, figuring out the best response for each situation. One evening, a call is received from a teenage girl who frighteningly tells that a man is trying to break in while she's home alone. At first, things go well when the young woman opens a window, throws some sandals out onto the ground and hide under the bed in an attempt to trick the invader into thinking she's escaped. But when the call becomes disconnected, Jordan accidently dials back, causing the noise of the phone to be heard by the man. This girl is taken and found the next day dead, naked, and buried in the desert.
Six months have passed and Jordan now works as an instructor for new operators, telling them never to become emotionally attached to the people on the other line. She takes another call that turns out to be a kidnapping. On the other side is another teenager named Casey Welson (played by Abigail Breslin), who is trapped in the trunk of a car with a disposable cell phone that cannot be traced. Not wanting to loose another kid, Jordan talks Casey through trying to signal other drivers and a possible way out.
I'll admit that the trailers did not impress me. I was afraid that the preview had already shown the whole movie in ninety seconds and that seeing it wouldn't do much. Was I right? Unfortunately, yes, but I'm not reviewing the trailer. To start off, phone thrillers aren't anything new, but this one had a good start. The Call knows how to make the most claustrophobic spaces even smaller, making the situation even more uncomfortable.
I can see that Halle Berry wants her role to work pretty bad, but is left unfulfilled with an uninteresting character. She mostly plays the strong feminist, but that's it. Abigail Breslin on the other hand makes out better as a character you feel sorry for. The movie gives more of a chance to show that she was a noble girl caught up in a bad condition. In the surprising opposite case of Halle Berry, our kidnapper (played by Michael Eklund) has a great back-story that's almost good enough to rival Norman Bates. But Eklund looks to intimidating to pull off this guy. Do these characters at least end the story well. Without giving anything away, the first two thrids are effective, but the end takes an even darker turn that doesn't match the smarter choices that Jordan and Casey made earlier.
I'll give this three dispatcher headsets out of five. Despite a strange ending and an R rating, I encourage parents to take or let their teenagers see The Call. You'll never know when a cell phone may be the only lifeline to dial with.

We have been in Spain for just about a week now. We are currently sitting in a cafe called Bella Vista, AKA "Orange Chair" to the Americans in town or "Orange Bar" to the English (the chairs on the outside are all bright orange). There's also a Blue Chair restaurant and a Red Chair in town. Direct and to the point…I like their style.
We don't have internet at our place yet, so it has been challenging to keep completely up to date between working with Dennis on his upcoming project and getting acquainted to this new place. I will be better about posting more in real time… I promise 🙂
So, to recap our week–We landed in Malaga around midnight and were picked up by Grant, Dennis' buddy from California, and his friend, Daniel. The drive is about 20 minutes from the airport to Mijas, where we are living. Grant went to a leadership academy in Mijas, called G42, a couple years ago, and he has stayed in Mijas ever since! He's now working doing photography and videography for local restaurants.
We stayed with Grant for the first two nights while our place was getting prepped. Grant has a friend of a friend named Andrew staying with him for the month. Andrew is taking a year to travel and explore the world! I didn't know Grant and neither of us knew Andrew before this week, and we have had a lot of fun being shown the ropes and hanging out. I am a little bitter though. I have lost both nights that we played the card game Phase 10. [Not competitive at all…]
Mijas is classically what you would think of when you imagine a small-town in Spain. The whole town is basically one main street. Our apartment is at the beginning of the main road, and we just walk down that street to get everywhere within the town. There's tons of little shops and restaurants along the main street. On the weekends, there are flamenco dancers in the main square and vendors that serve cinnamon roasted almonds and donuts that they make right in front of you.
The streets are lined with brightly colored potted flowers on the white walls. When you walk on the street you have to stay close to the buildings, otherwise you may get run over by a horse drawn carriage. There also are "burro taxis" which are carriages drawn by donkeys.
It definitely has been a deep dive into a completely different culture!
On one of our first nights here, there was a crazy thunderstorm right above us. What's ironic about this, is I asked Grant how often it rains in Spain. He said, "I can't remember the last time it rained!" Sure enough—WHOOSH. Rain, thunder, lightening, the whole shabang. I've been in a lot of thunderstorms, but I have never experienced anything quite like this. Not just loud, but the thunder came with authority. Giant booms rumbled through the mountains around us. It was incredible.
We live right by some great trails that take you through the mountains. We have gone on a couple of hikes, which are so fun, but it was a wake up call that Minnesota is VERY flat. I haven't worked these muscles in a very long time!
We went on a hike with our new friend Andrew, who is hilarious. He is super high energy and has the best stories [colorful language and all 🙂 ]. He's super cool and has had a lot of great life experience.
The views were breath-taking when we got to the top–or maybe I was just super out of breath from scaling the cliffs…
Nah, it was really pretty.
It was all fun and games until I wiped out. HARD.
And–of course it was AFTER we had gotten off the mountain. Cool.
Apparently, climbing mountains is just fine…but I will be on hyper-alert for sidewalk gravel from now on!
There's so much more to tell, but I will bid farewell for now. Stay tuned, because I have a lot of things coming up soon.
Thanks for a good first week, Spain!

With just over two weeks to go before the May Federal Budget, KPMG Enterprise has received a clear message from mid-market clients interviewed in a pre-Budget Pulse Check: the government should focus on delivering business tax cuts.
There was strongest support for a high threshold, with almost half indicating that companies with a turnover of up to $100 million should benefit from the tax reductions.
On personal tax cuts there was a pragmatic approach, with almost one in two (46 percent) saying this should occur only after the Budget was in surplus. 38 percent called for personal tax cuts in the next year while 15 percent believed personal tax rates should not be reduced at all.
Other key findings indicate that the mid-market's sources of vexation or unease remain constant, with competitiveness, dealing with red tape and bureaucracy and the need for ongoing innovation and digitisation (24 percent) as the prime issues for concern.
Notably, despite the government's instant asset write-off rules promising more cash for SMEs, more than two thirds of respondents indicated they had not utilised the increased threshold, and the majority of those that had, invested in new equipment or technology.
The poll indicated that respondents were uncertain whether current government incentives to encourage innovation in the business sector would impact future operations, with nearly half the respondents believing R&D incentives were not applicable to their businesses, and only 20 percent of the rest deeming them sufficient.
Brett Mitchell, Partner KPMG Enterprise, says the findings capture the mood of the mid-market before the May Budget.
"We asked a selection of mid-market clients a series of topical questions," he said, "and our Pulse Check reveals a sense of disquiet. Our respondents are worried about profitability and small business viability.
"The prevailing feeling is that Australia remains over-taxed. There is a desire for the government to push the innovation agenda even further and tackle long-standing issues such as red tape and bureaucracy."

Roadside Monument Albums
About Roadside Monument: Roadside Monument was a band that played math rock, punk, emo, or just rock (depending on whom you ask). Its last lineup consisted of Doug Lorig, Matt Johnson, and Johnathon Ford (see Unwed Sailor, Decahedron). Previous members included Todd Florence, Mike Dente, and Joel Metzger. In their career from 1996 to 1998, they released three full-lengths and three EPs (two of which were splits, one with Puller and one with Frodus). All of their releases were on Tooth and Nail Records. In 2002 they reformed, but disbanded a year after.

The year after the UK vote to leave the European Union has been dominated by a lot of words but not a great deal of substantive action. This side of the election, it's hard to escape the feeling that action to shape our future outside of the EU is about to kick into gear.
Lots of people ask me what I see as the main risks and opportunities associated with Brexit, and my consistent answer to the latter has been the chance to radically reform agriculture policy so that it delivers much more for nature. The recently announced Agriculture Bill brings that opportunity into sharp relief.
So it's great that today a group of academics under the banner of 'Brexit and Environment' are launching two short reports; one on agriculture, and another on fisheries (of which we've heard a lot over the weekend and I may return to later in the week). Here though, I want to talk about farming, and what we get as a society from land.
Farmland birds like the skylark are in decline (photo by Nigel Blake, rspb-images.com)
As I've written before, what happens with farming is fundamental to the fate of wildlife in the UK and globally. Over the last 50 years, agricultural management (which is the dominant land use covering 75% of the UK) has been the biggest driver of species declines in the UK. Much of this has been driven by inappropriate public policy, particularly the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Although some of the more damaging aspects of the CAP have in recent years been reformed, it has failed to do enough to undo the damage of the past, and we continue to lose wildlife from our countryside as a result.
We now have the opportunity to put this right.
The Agriculture Bill announced in the Queen's Speech last month must put the environment at the heart of farming and land use policies in the future. Many of the things we need from the countryside – wildlife, clean water, flood protection, carbon storage – cannot be bought at the till. These are 'public goods' that the market does not provide, and we have argued for a long time that there is a clear case to make for investing the current annual £3.1 billion of tax payers money in agriculture and land management if the focus is to be on securing these public benefits that we all need.
This approach provides the strongest case for continued investment given the range of environmental benefits that farmers are uniquely placed to provide for society. It is also the best, long-term bet for the sector, given the importance of our natural resources to the future viability of production and the cross party and public support this commands.
The report mentioned above comes to roughly this conclusion, but also identifies some tricky issues to deal with along the way. First and foremost amongst these is the issue of devolution. Given the febrile nature of UK politics at the moment, this issue could easily derail the whole Bill, and with it any chance of seizing this opportunity. To make sure this is avoided, the UK Government must engage early, and work collaboratively with its devolved counterparts to develop a framework for future policies by consensus, based on mutual agreement over their direction and purpose.
And this is the key point. There will be lots of detailed debate about the shape and design of future policies. Right now though, we need legislators across the UK to be ambitious with post-Brexit farming and land use policies, and to set a clear direction of travel from the outset. Whilst a transition phase is necessary and inevitable, this must be for a pre-defined period if we are to avoid drift and inertia.
Brexit poses huge challenges for farming and wildlife, but also opportunities. To secure a better future for farming and to put life, colour and sound back into the countryside, we need the Government set out an ambitious new vision for the environment and a radical new public policy on farming and land use.
We spend 90% of net income on conservation, public education and advocacy

text: The Lifeline Bringing you the best local stories in and around our community. Jul 01 A Work of Art By Jill Duff-Hoppes An iconic guitar designed by a Lake Mary man now hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art In the 1980s, David Newell wanted a cool new electric guitar. He had his eye on a particular instrument, but he couldn't afford it. So he asked a buddy to help him build a custom guitar instead, using the Gibson Explorer body design as a jumping-off point. Decades later, the distinctive guitar they created is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The sleek, futuristic-looking instrument was loaned to the museum by guitarist extraordinaire Joe Perry of Aerosmith, who played the black guitar in the iconic music video for Run-DMC's 1986 remake of the Aerosmith hit, "Walk This Way." Their collaboration was a groundbreaking mash-up of rap and hard rock, and the video was put into heavy rotation on MTV. David, a 57-year-old Lake Mary resident, recently visited the Met with fiancée Rene Brent to check out the exhibit. Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll features about 130 guitars and other instruments, plus posters and costumes. The experience was an emotional one for David. "It brought a tear to my eye," he says, adding that his guitar is in the same room as those played by Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen. "I was completely humbled by the whole thing." How David's guitar made its way into Joe Perry's hands, the "Walk This Way" video, and ultimately the Met is a tale as totally rad as the '80s, themselves. David's fascination with guitars began when he was a kid in Albany, New York. He got his first one at the age of eight and taught himself some chords. By high school, the teen was a sound guy for a local band and spent his free time jamming with guitarists. A few years later, David met Andrew Desrosiers, a guitarist who also built and repaired the instruments. They became friends, and Andrew agreed to make the guitar David wanted. When David saw Andrew's final design, he knew it was something special. The guitar, which they dubbed the Crusader, is pointy and features triangle cutouts within the body. "It was different; there was nothing like it," says David, an in-demand hair stylist at the time. "The name represented forging ahead in an unknown direction, crusading into the future." The duo formed David Andrew Guitars in 1984, applied for a design patent, and peddled the Crusader in bold ways. Andrew was the main craftsman, while David excelled at creative marketing. Once, David wore the guitar to a music trade show in New York City, because they didn't have the money to purchase booth space. And when rock groups came to play gigs in Albany, David knocked on stage doors and talked his way inside, in hopes of showing the guitar to the bands. His brash approach paid off when Twisted Sister put him in touch with Guild, a guitar manufacturer. "Just thinking about this is so funny," David says. "Everything was spur of the moment and off-the-cuff." David and Andrew struck a deal with Guild, which renamed the guitar the Bladerunner. Guild produced about 100 of the instruments in the mid-1980s. The guitar originally retailed for $1,500 but now sells on the internet for $3,500 and up, David says. Another of David's buddies, Jay Abend, was the conduit between Joe Perry and the Bladerunner. Jay, who worked for Guild, got a call saying Joe needed a guitar for a video shoot. He brought over several, including three Bladerunner prototypes in white, black, and hot pink. The black guitar won out, and the video, of course, was "Walk This Way." One of David's favorite memories from that era is the day he and Andrew were admiring their first Crusader prototype over a couple of beers. "We were looking at the guitar and saying, 'Boy, that thing's a work of art. It's really unique-looking,'" David recalls. They even joked that the guitar would wind up in a museum one day, alongside other memorabilia like Fonzie's jacket from Happy Days. "It was just a couple of kids dreaming about an idea, thinking, 'Wouldn't it be fun if that happened?'" David says. The business partners kept David Andrew Guitars going for several years and remained lifelong friends until cancer claimed Andrew's life in 2011. David wishes that Andrew could have seen their museum fantasy become a reality. "He would be very proud, and he would have laughed that we talked about being in a museum all those years ago," says David, who still owns a Bladerunner. "The '80s were exciting and very inventive. I look back on that time with great fondness and appreciation." Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll is on display at the Met through October 1. The exhibit then moves to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, where it will be showcased from November 20 through September 13, 2020. Want More Information?

With the growing success of joint replacement surgeries, patients have become accustomed to certain indignities related to having a metal replacement part in a hip, knee or shoulder. For example, they tend to set off airport metal detectors and attract attention of security personnel. Now, theres more. The Mayo Clinic Biomechanics Laboratory report released at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons sheds light on the potential causes of the squeak, thus guiding means of eliminating it.
The sound is associated with implants made of a material known as alumina ceramic-on-ceramic — and is audible to the person with the implant and those nearby. After 11000 cycles of tests in a mechanical simulator that reproduced the flexion and extension motions of the hip, Mayo Clinic investigators concluded that: • Squeaking occurred when the film fluid between the two moving surfaces was disrupted. • Disruption could be caused by the presence of particles that originate from wear and tear, or from imperfect alignment or positioning of implant surfaces. • Squeaking occured especially quickly under highest pressure on the artificial joint. • Once squeaking started, it didnt stop — and was constant at all frequencies tested. According to Robert Trousdale, MD, the lead Mayo investigator: Adding a small amount of lubricant solved the problem in the lab. Our research is helpful because it can be applied to devising a solution to the squeak problem.
Nice quick 2 minute video where the researcher discusses what they found with this. I found this interesting because ceramic and ceramic is one option to consider in a revision surgery.

"I think it's nice that there are all different kinds of lunches and breakfasts and dinners and snacks. I think eating is nice." – Albert from Bread and Jam for Frances, by Russell C. Hoban
My parents are having a New Year's party tomorrow night and asked me to make two flavors for the event. Since no party is complete without sauce, I made David Leibovitz's Salted Butter Caramel Sauce (from The Perfect Scoop).
Caramel is always a nerve racking process, the sugar looks horrible and you're sure you've ruined it until, magically, it all turns out ok.
Two bits of advice; 1) Use a large whisk to combine the cream into the sugar and butter and 2) wait until the sugar starts to melt back from its more solid stage before you put in the cream. It will look bad, and it probably won't smoke, but it will turn out fine.
Salted Butter Caramel Sauce
6 tablespoons (85g) butter, salted or unsalted – I use unsalted
3/4 cup (150g) sugar
1 cup (250ml) heavy cream – 38%, not cream with added sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 teaspoons course salt – a nice kosher or fleur de sel
Melt butter in a large, deep heavy-duty saucepan or Dutch oven. Stir in the sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar is a deep golden brown and starts to smoke (again, wait until the sugar begins to melts, you may not see the smoke).
Remove from the heat and immediately whisk in half of the cream until smooth (wear an oven mitt, since the mixture will stream and splatter and may bubble up furiously). Stir in the rest of the cream, then the vanilla and salt. If there are any lumps of caramel, whisk the sauce gently over low heat until they're dissolved. Serve warm.
Storage: This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Rewarm it gently in a microwave or by stirring in a saucepan over very low heat.
It came out and tastes great! Can't wait to eat it.
If you preheat/scald the cream (either in another pot or a microwave) you will reduce the spattering and slightly speed up the last stage.

For some people anything is good if it's made of chocolate. But many people don't know how chocolate is made or where it comes from.
Chocolate is made from cocoa beans found in West Africa. As the world's demand for chocolate rises, many cocoa farmers struggle with low yields and low incomes. More than 90 percent of cocoa farmers in Ghana, the world's second largest producer of cocoa, live on less than a dollar a day per person.
Researchers are studying if certifying farmers as trained cocoa producers can benefit their businesses.

Roy Keane issued what could only be described as a battle cry on Friday, ahead of Ireland's massive World Cup qualifier against Austria this weekend.
Speaking to the media in a press conference that quickly became a call to arms, Keane's message to the team was clear: be prepared to make personal sacrifices for the greater good:
"You go out on the pitch and you put your body on the line, you have to be able to accept that. People have done a lot more for their country than break their legs. People have died for their country."
Every war needs its generals, to lead the rest into the battle. Since Keane himself can't do that on the pitch (as much as he would love to), that task must fall to someone else. On recent evidence, and given the player he has turned into, that someone will be James McClean.
The turnaround in the West Brom winger in the past nine to twelve months has been remarkable, both in terms of his own performances and in his status in the starting lineup and squad as a whole.
At 28 years old, McClean is by no means a player even coming close to the end of his career. And yet, in a squad that is becoming increasingly younger as the likes of Robbie Keane, Shay Given, Richard Dunne and John O'Shea are either gone or are on the way out, players like McClean are now being discussed as sort of the elder statesman, a player for the younger generation to look up to. 28 he may be, but McClean is still a man with 50 international caps and two tournaments under his belt.
A recent and yet probably the most pertinent, example of this was a statement given by Callum O'Dowda this week. The Bristol City man has had a relatively low-key progression in the Ireland setup over the past year, though hope is still high for the young midfielder and he knows exactly who he wants to emulate:
"He has been really good to me, just little things in training. We're big pals as well off the pitch, so that helps.
"He's the kind of player….his running power, for example – I want to do stuff that he does. I like to implement what he does on the pitch as well.
"It helps when I'm training with him. He's the kind of player I want to turn out to be like."
It's important to remember that when Ireland took to the field to take on Sweden in their opening match of Euro 2016, McClean was consigned to the bench. It's probably even more important to remember that people weren't exactly put out by that, such was the widely-held opinion of him as an effective but ultimately flawed winger – a similar assessment (rightly or wrongly) of Aiden McGeady on the other wing.
McGeady would surely have been the cautionary tale to McClean about the ramifications of unfulfilled potential. Their paths were on a parallel train, while McClean could only watch as Robbie Brady almost cemented his spot on the left wing, the spot that should have been his own, by becoming an Irish legend over the course of those three weeks in France.
Twelve months later, it's hard to fathom an Ireland lineup that doesn't have McClean in it. He has come into his own massively over the course of this qualifying campaign, scoring goals at vital times and elevating himself to being one of the first names on Martin O'Neill's teamsheet.
His will to win is at the heart of everything he does, regardless of the importance of the fixture. He looked genuinely distraught by the defeat to Mexico in New Jersey last week, while the storming run and clinical finish in the win against Uruguay the following weekend were far more dedicated and exertive than one would normally expect to see in an international friendly.
The need for a leader in the absence of captain Seamus Coleman is clear, and although Ireland are not short of experienced heads, someone to actually lead them is a necessity. McClean, with his drive, the respect he commands from his teammates and unwavering passion for the shirt, is the perfect candidate to take charge while the regular armband owner continues his recovery.
The potential in McClean has been evident for years. Dating back his days terrorising League of Ireland defences at Derry City almost a decade ago, the Derry native always seemed destined for great things. In a League of Ireland XI against the likes of Celtic and Manchester City in 2011, his comfort against such esteemed opposition was there for all to see, so it was no surprise when he found himself on his way to the Premier League with Sunderland later that summer.
That said, this is probably the first time that we have seen him take that crucial next step, to fulfil the potential that he had been threatening to show for years before the spectre of stagnation began to plague him. Five years after Giovanni Trapattoni bowed to the inevitable and put him in a green shirt for the first time, McClean is finally ready to lead Ireland into the war that Roy Keane has called for.
On this week's edition of the Mixer Irish Football podcast, we spoke to former Ireland international Joe Gamble as well as looking ahead to Martin O'Neill's side's clash against Austria this weekend.

In A Nutshell
Late in 1817 Percy Shelley and his friend Horace Smith decided to have a sonnet competition – that's right folks: a sonnet competition! For the subject of their sonnets, Shelley and Smith chose a partially-destroyed statue of Ramses II ("Ozymandias") that was making its way to London from Egypt, finally arriving there sometime early in the year 1818. In the 1790's Napoleon Bonaparte had tried to get his hands on the statue, but was unable to remove it from Egypt. That's partly because it weighs almost 7.5 tons. Shelley, like Napoleon, was fascinated by this giant statue.
Shelley published his poem in January of 1818 in The Examiner, a periodical run by his other friend Leigh Hunt (pronounced "Lee"). Smith published his poem less than a month later, with a title almost as long as the poem itself: "On A Stupendous Leg of Granite, Discovered Standing by Itself in the Deserts of Egypt.
While Shelley has a reputation for radical and experimental poetry, "Ozymandias" is a pretty "tame" poem compared to many of his other works; it is written in a well-known and widely-used form – a fourteen-line sonnet – and doesn't say anything too offensive like "We should all be atheists" (Shelley was expelled from Oxford for writing a pamphlet advocating just this).
