IRON MOUNTAIN -- For many, the New Year means a new beginning with new goals. However, a large percentage of people set one thing at the top of their list: getting in shape.
Michael Padalino says he use to be over 400 pounds. Now he's averaging close to 300, and every New Year he sets the bar higher, attempting to shed more of the weight. "I don't have a weight goal set in mind, but I would like to be somewhere in the neighborhood of about 200 pounds," says Padalino. "You have to think of it as a change in lifestyle altogether, not something you just do one day, but everyday."
Anytime Fitness manager Brian Farley explains January is the busiest month at the gym. He believes the holiday season contributes to the gym's high traffic because "people eat and drink excessively" and "have a lot of extra calories coming in."
He insists that the best way to keep up with a healthy New Year's resolution is by setting realistic goals.
"It's not going be something that's going to change in two weeks," says Farley. "You really need to be diligent, you need to put the time in, you really need to come to the gym, you need to watch what you eat. Stay confident and keep your eyes on the prize."

Fixing snapped strings without stringing the whole racket
How do I do this, and what do I need? I have several rackets with snapped strings I wanna fix.
I don't wanna buy more equipment than absolutely neccesary, and certainly not a stringing machine. And It's not at all important that the result is perfect, just that the rackets will be somehow useful.
Perhaps this is mentioned in other threads here, couldn't find any though. I've been searching for videos on the net as well, but all the results I found include a stringing machine.
It's almost impossible to do this, sadly.
In the old days, where tensions were lower, you could pull the string back out through the frame and twist it on a stick (which you can still buy as part of the Yonex emergency kit) to get it tight. You would then shove an awl into the frame from the inside to keep it tight and tie onto a neighbouring string. Even when this was possible it was very much an emergency measure (for example if a guy was down to his very last racket). If somebody HAS managed it with a modern racket and tension I do hope they post their procedure.
In addition, leaving broken strings in your racket might lead to frame distortion, so I would advise you to cut them out ASAP - they're no good to you broken!
But how about using patch strings? Or was that a part of what you meant in your example?
I think thats what Mark A was referring to. Apologises if I contradict anything below
In regards to patching one or two snapped strings, it is difficult to get it right. Don't get me wrong, it can be done.
This is because nowadays the tension is higher than what was used in the old days. And when the string snaps, tension drops quite quickly. And getting the patched strings to match the tension of the other strings is near impossible to do.
What Mark A was referring to is a Yonex Repair Kit:
If you dont care about the consistancy of your string tension or racket head warping, you can use that. As Mark said, people only use this as a last method.
If your rackets had the factory string (under 20 lbs) then it's probably not an issue to patch it with the yonex kit. If you're over that tension though you'd have problems with frame distortion and you won't have the same tension as it began with regardless of what it was.
The thing is... I don't know about anywhere in my local area where I can restring the rackets. So I'll have to send them by mail to a stringer. The price to restring each racket is approx. £20/$35 plus postage. That's about the same as what the rackets did cost (most of them are Forza Fusion Power 200 CF).
If the tension is different from string to string, how does that influence the play? Will the shuttle come of the racket with different speed depending on where it hit the racket?
Again... it's not that important really, as long as they will be somehow useful for recreational/amateur play. I am however interested in keeping the costs low, and the Yonex kit looks like a possible solution for me
If your rackets have been sitting there for a while with a broken string and there is no distortion yet then you're probably safe. The fact that they've been sitting for so long will mean they've lost almost all their tension, I would find that unplayable.
The yonex kit is a small investment so it might be worth a try but it's also 1/4 the cost of an entry level drop weight machine.
Have you asked the guys you play with what they do with broken strings? Might be worthwhile to combine resources and buy a stringing machine, string itself is cheap if you buy from mbs (or other online store), around $3 - $4 USD each (if bought as a reel or packs of 10 or more).
in NA, lots of players think repairing 1 or 2 strings is easy and worth only 1 or 2 $. lol
It is not, a proper repair can cost from 1/2 to almost the full labor of stringing a new racket.
To be honest, patch jobs are a false economy IMO. We see them all too regularly here in the UK and they aren't good for your racket's lifespan or that stringjob's playability. Much better just to cut them out and start afresh.
The cost of the stringjobs in relation to your frames could be used as a reason to upgrade. Likewise, buying a stringing machine would make financial sense in the long run, especially if you could string for friends as well.
"False economy" is 100% right - it would be like doing a brake replacement only on one wheel of a car.
I have seen cases where the crosses alone have been replaced - if the racket is mounted properly and stretched back to its original length it's conceivable that the crosess could be cut and then strung as normal. However, it's half a pack of string and you've got the problem of the already-worn mains (when they go you've had it - your fresh crosses will have gone to waste).
In my case (which I admit is a specail one) it's not really a matter of fixing 1 string vs full stringing, it's more a matter of fixing 1 string versus buying new rackets and throw the old ones. So if fixing 1 string cost 90 % of the price of a new racket, I'm still happy. Lol. The rackets belong to my student badminton club, and is used for lending to the players who are to lazy/stingy/unserious to buy their own rackets. It would actually be an advantage for us if the quality gets worse, then more people would probably buy their own rackets instead of breaking those who belong to the club (which now is an economic problem for us). But, we do wanna have at least a few ones available for lending.
QUESTIONS: Is there a chance that the tension will be so low that there's a risk that the shuttle will get stuck between the strings? Or is there a (high) risk that the different tension from string to string will cause the frame to brake?
@druss: Yes, I have asked them, they're the ones who told me about the stringer.
Since you are so insisting on doing this and it seen like the only option you have. I will give it a shot on how to properly patch a string with pictures. Yes, i have done it with a stringing machine and with Yonex kit before. Just never take pictures to show how it works. I do not recommend patching string if you can have your racquet restrung.
Here are the items you need. You need a cylinder object like a pipe. A thick plastic pipe will be ideal. You will need 2 badminton fly clamps. Rest of the instruction will be posted with pictures next week because I just don't have time to mess around this week.
Hi, I know that this is a very old thread, but I did not see any updates. Yes, repairing just a few strings is what we call an emergency fix, i.e. if you are playing competition and you need your favorite racquet working after breaking a string due to a mishit. Here is my emergency repair kit that I made in 1983. Basically a piece of garden hose, I wrapped some string around it to show the pattern. My home made clamps - this all fits inside a Gosen HySheep string wrapper, and of course some string - usually about 5 main strings in length, because it is more likely for the main string to fail, and we should clamp and pull it back and then tie off and replace 4 strings.
I turned the clamps around to show how the slot is just made with a hacksaw. Basically just 3mm thick aluminium - add a small piece of string with tape between the center section and the outers for a see-saw action. Some springs, nuts and bolts and you have a repair kit. Better than the awl - and back in those days, we were only stringing at 14-16 lbs so the rubber hose was fine.
I like your homemade equipment
As for me, I've now bought the Yonex Repair Kit and it worked OK (using awls) on rackets with "factory string tension". However the tension still decreases very much after fixing the racket. Acceptable for recreational play though, I think..
Ok. I thought I might add that a lot of the newer racquets have single pass grommets. This means that there is only room for one string to pass through. With the older racquets, most of the grommets were double pass grommets except for the ones near the T joint. What we used to do was if we broke the main string near the middle, we would pull them out and tie off, then put in new string for the middle 4 main strings. With the new racquets - this is no longer possible, hence one of the reasons why a full restring is needed (not disregarding the much higher tensions used today which can warp the racquet if the strings are not cut after a breakage). The best thing is probably to buy a cheap stringing machine - for most loan racquets, you don't need a really high tension. I recently strung an old racquet for someone at 17lb - he liked it, because his concern was that he wanted a durable stringing job. He is not a strong player, yet the other stringers string it for him at 24lb which he breaks too quickly due to mishits. He really did not care about the tension, so the way he swings - he has a slow swing, and this suits a lower tension.
Just a point for you, I often use long nose pliers to pull the other strings a little when doing a manual repair - you need pliers that are not sharp or those with soft jaws, not to damage the string - so as you tension with one hand, use the other hand to pull a string a little - that way you can get a better tension. Otherwise, you lock the strings to allow you to do a 4 string repair. Anything less is likely to have a discernable change in tension.

It's the first time I've hosted anything. I like Nashville, I like it very much. I've never been here before and I only got in yesterday but I've driven around and walked around I guess about a half mile last night and saw the Gulch and I like it.
Toby Keith:
I'm particularly fond of this award show because videos were a great part of my career and I was able to grow my career and express myself not only through music but through the video. I got a lot of CMT awards. They always put together a great show. It's different; to me it's not as sterile as the other award shows. It's more hang out, hang loose. I hosted it several years ago with Pam Anderson and I guess I'm back on the cycle again. I'm back here again. It's always an honor and it's not as scripted, we get to hang out. We've got some guidelines to go by and it's just wide open and that's the way it should be. I have a great cohost, too.
Dish Magazine's Editor-in-Chief Raeanne Rubenstein To TK:
What did you think the first time you heard Willie Nelson's..?
I did one called "I'll never smoke weed with Willie again" and I sang it at his birthday party and he got up with me and I thought it was just a matter of time because he would write something like that and it's hilarious. As you know, he's been in the news forever and I think it's a wonderful song. It's a fantastic song, it's got four or five verses and it's hilarious that he's at his age and still has so much fun.
Raeanne Rubenstein To KB:
How did you come to host the CMT awards and are you a country music fan?
I got an invitation. I am a country music fan and I have presented at a variety of country music award shows in the past because I'm a fan and I don't know, honest to God I don't know how I got here. They just invited me and I squealed. I obviously said yes. I'd never been to Nashville before so I was very excited.
Raeanne Rubenstein To both:
Since you only met yesterday, how are you two getting along?
We're already fighting.
It's going really well.
It's been great. Everything since we've met so far has been working. A lot of training, a lot of rehearsal. Up between now and the end of the show…
We're probably going to be besties.
Raeanne Rubenstein To TK:
Are you going to get back into film? I know you've been taking a break.
The last picture we did, it took me ten months because we actually wrote the script and coordinated all my buddies to do the movie so it took so much away from my album process that I really felt that I took a hit from it because I just wasn't as prepared musically when I went back in the studio as I usually am that time of year. And when you own your own label you have deliver the business side of it, too. I really felt like I took a hit. If the right things come along, that don't very much time, then I can consider doing things. It's gotta be really the right thing. We had fun, I had a blast.

Toby's a big Deadwood fan. Did he pick your brain a bit about your experiences on that show?
There's a variety of topics Toby and I have yet to cover in our relationship because we did just meet yesterday. I didn't know that, you're Deadwood fan?
Raeanne Rubenstein To KB:
Kristen, can we expect any gown/wardrobe changes throughout the show, anything special for you?
I guess, I packed some stuff. It's particularly fun to host something I think because you get to sort of formulate an arc in your wardrobe. And it's really silly and girly but it's a whole lot of fun but I had a lot of fun putting it together and yea, I'm very excited about that.
I have a nice skirt. A knee high job with some pumps.
Raeanne Rubenstein To KB:
Did you get any hosting advice from anyone?
No, but if anyone's got any for me, I'm all ears.
To both:
What do you hope the fans will take away from watching the show?
We just want them to be excited at the end, when it's over with. Fans voting is the way all award shows should be. It should be up to the listener, not up to us. I've always said it's really not up to us. We can only make music and create … and you're successful because people follow you and it should be up to them. It shouldn't be up to a bunch of yahoo's sittin around a desk.
Raeanne Rubenstein To KB:
You travel with your sloth?
Yea, let's talk about this sloth
Here we go. I'll start by saying that I am not a fan nor will I ever support the exotic animal trade. So, it's not my sloth but I can understand how it could be slightly confusing. In the movie business, or like for a music video, when you need a horse or a tiger or a bear there are animal sanctuaries that work out of Los Angeles or in a 300 mile radius where the animals live and are usually rescued and have a bunch of trainers. So the surprise came from an animal rescue place that works for movies. This sloth I will say, had a bigger resume than both me and Dax combined. This sloth has been in Minority Report, ever heard of it? But we didn't talk all business that day. It was a wonderful day. But I didn't keep her. I just adored her while she was in my living room.
Raeanne Rubenstein To TK:
Are you nervous to host?
After 20 years of playing in front of every audience, that went away years ago. It doesn't really matter if there's one or a billion watching. I've done everything from the World Peace Press Project to been on Letterman and all those things. The butterflies on that went way. It creates energy. You wanna get out and perform and do good, but other than that, no to answer your question.
We just finished our tenth trip to the desert and played our 192nd show. We don't go into Iraq anymore, that's over. There's no place to go anymore. We started going out on carriers in the gulf. So we visited the Abraham Lincoln and the U.S.S. Enterprise was about 30 miles off the coast of Iran. Spent the night and played for 5,000 sailors, so we started hitting the sailors more since Iraq's out. We usually go for a couple of weeks and it's a wonderful geography lesson, it's a wonderful history lesson. It's a wonderful meeting of heroes. It's just a wonderful venture each year. It's like an adult Boy Scout trip and we really wrap up and get excited about going.
I've always been a fan of music in general, I grew up in Motown. So, jus the idea of music being a way of life and a part of your life is a big idea. Detroit and Michigan is kind of split down the middle of people who like Motown and sort of gotten more into urban music or who still like country. For me, I think that the songs are so relatable, their ideas are simple and their melodies and harmonies are sort of pure, not really simple. They're just very relatable ideas and they sing a lot about life. Every time I hear a country song it makes me laugh because I can consider myself in that position, I guess. That doesn't happen necessarily with every other genre of music for me. I also feel like my mom sang a lot of Patsy Cline around the house and she had a lot of Garth Brooks CDs. She was into country music so I played a lot in her Discman before I started my own collection. So I think that influenced me a little bit.
Raeanne Rubenstein To TK:
What award show would you host that would put you in the same position Kristen's in now?
It'd have to be like the Emmy's or something, right? I guess. The Emmy's, the Globeys, the Slothy's.

Didn't deliver on my expectations - I think Disney missed it on this one. Key point is having a plot that missed it's target audience - KIDS ! Brought two 9 year olds and one 4 year old. Saw signs of boredom (couldn't understand the conversations), two key songs taken out of the show (Love to Laugh and Mr. Banks' first song. Also, first entrance of Mary is a flop - she "appears" on stage rather than arriving from the skies via umbrella. I mean how can you mess up THAT ? Nice show but could have been MUCH better.....

I recently seen Mary Poppins at the New amsterdam theater with my wife and two children.This show is truly exceptional in every aspect.Everything in the show from the music,stage sets,special effects,and the wholesome touching story line makes this show a must see for all families.It is worth every penny.

Do not go to this production, buy the movie instead! I was there with 3 children, 8, 8 & 5, and thought the scenes were gloomy and where did those ugly statues come from & where did the wicked nanny come from - WIcked? The audience screamed when mary ascends - but wouldn't you expect it?[$]

Singapore ended up regretting it though, they're finding themselves in the same situation as Japan where they are going to be crippled by a low birth rate and a huge senior population expecting entitlements. If you look at history, high birth rates are tied to healthy societies, the problem is those countries also tended to engage in constant wars of expansion which burned through excess population. We're living in interesting times for sure, I don't think there's a good answer.
So does Europe, really, the difference is that Europe has been importing Eastern European and Muslim immigrants who are keeping things somewhat more balanced. Of course the societal tensions that produces are a bad side effect of that solution. It hasn't been making headlines here, but there's been a lot of Xenophobia in Japan recently due to Chinese workers who are coming over and not going home as well, but nowhere near on the same scale.
The first thing they showed my son in sex education class was a film of a baby being born, then the kid growing up with a running tally of costs(food, clothing, etc). THEN asked if anybody was prepared for that because they were capable. He is 25 and still thinking about whether he is ready.

Complete with Raincover, Car Seat Adaptors and Shopping Basket
Order today for Monday delivery
The all New Zapp Xtra- The world's most compact folding buggy offers has all the existing Zapp features with the added extra of a reclining seat.
Its sleek modern design and lightweight compact fold the Quinny Zapp Xtra is ready to go wherever life takes you. The Zapp Xtra is suitable from 6months to approx. 4 years. It lets parents enjoy a hassle free life with their child. It has a 360 degree front swivel wheel for easy steering but this can be locked when needed.
I love my Zapp. We did a lot of research on what buggy to get before my little one was born. We wanted; compact when folded due to small porch and small car, last from birth to toddler so had to lie flat and rear face as well as front face, fit through doorways easily, be lightweight but sturdy., be able to attach a car seat to use as a travel system. The Zapp fit all of these. Unfortunately it has a really small basket as it is a triangular based frame but I get around this by using Hamster bags. It is a lovely pushchair at a great price and I don't see us needing to buy an umbrella fold pushchair because it collapses down so small anyway.
This pushchair is perfect when out and about in the car. The adaptors that come with the quinny allow the maxi cosi car seat to be fitted easily and quickly.the seat unit itself is excellent and the recline option is an additional feature which is missing from the original quinny zapp. The only downside is the small basket that comes with the puschair holds hardly anything. I am really pleased with the pushchair and find it very practical and easy to fit in the boot as it takes up minimum space.
Very comfortable to use as it is quite small in size.
I ordered this as i needed a small buggs to fit in my boot and something that was light. This is fantastic, i would recommend buying a newborn inlay for it though and a cosy toes for as they get older. I had it up on my own in minutes (me being 7 months pregant)!
After a couple of uses construction and deconstruction of this product is quick and simple. The shape and soft flexible material of the seat unit allows my three month old to sit comfortably, whilst providing plenty of support. This pushchair combines the right mix of stability vs light weight handling, making the perfect middle-sized pushchair and reasonably compact folding/storage. The only thing holding this pushchair back is the shopping basket. The main frame bar runs through the basket, which limits the size considerably. To be honest the basket is only a little niggle, and I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a smaller compact fold compared to larger newborn pushchairs, or those seeking a supportive light weight pushchair for daily use.

Your init file contains personal EmacsLisp code that you want to execute when you start Emacs.
or _emacs
or ~/.emacs.d/init.el
or ~/.xemacs/init.el
or ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el
In Emacs, if you do not know where your InitFile is located or you do not have one and want to create it, then just open it for editing in Emacs:
C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET
When you add Lisp to your .emacs, it is not evaluated until you restart Emacs. Rather than restarting Emacs, you can use 'M-x eval-buffer'
, or 'M-x eval-region'
or just 'C-x C-e'
. See EvaluatingExpressions.
If it seems your InitFile is not being read, type 'C-h e'
to see if there's a chance there was a problem with it loading. See also DebugFileLoading.
It's often better to break up a lengthy InitFile into a number of Emacs Lisp packages and a small, top-level InitFile that loads your packages, especially if you define commands and other functions. Some of the "init files" available here on EmacsWiki are organized in this way, as a set of packages.
For basic advice on how to install a neat new Emacs Lisp file you just found so that it loads automatically when you start Emacs, see InstallingPackages.
You can also have a separate CustomFile reserved strictly for customizations recorded by Customize.
Start Emacs with a specific init file:
emacs -q -l ~/my-init-file.el

I second what Mitch said. The idea seems like a good one, and there's no denying that it's interesting and has such huge potential. But the downside, especially a lot of those you mentioned, just make everything come off so bad and too much of a hassle.
Don't even get me started on the costs.
Mitch, - I tend to agree that most of those private gTLDs aren't necessary nor much easier to publicize a site with. maybe it would have been better to expand the public list i.e. the .com, .net and the other ones not owned by companies. Its more like a luxury good to some extent, just because one can afford it. reminds me of when a person gets a car identification plate with his/her name on it....but its all in the spirit of democracy i guess.
Well, first of all, somebody still has to manage the name space.
Second, we need domains for the same reason we need indices and area codes and exchanges and country codes and so on -- to help determine who "belongs" to who and to make them easier to remember by having some sort of structure.
slfisher - If it cost less there would be even more domain-squatting going on? Makes sense.
I wonder why we need gTLDs at all anymore. They seem like an artifact of the pre-1992 Internet. Just let every device and entity on the Internet be repesented by a unique string of alphanumeric characters, and be done with it. The Internet would then have only one gTLD.
What purpose do gTLDs serve?
It really does, but on the other hand, if they'd made it less, they'd have an even bigger problem to deal with.
I can see the value for big business here, particularly companies with a great many brands who therefore need to manage a great number of domains. But the cost seems ridiculous.
Yes, Kim, it's certainly not a one-time cost. And another reason this seems slanted toward large conglomerates, without much room for midsize organizations. I think we may see more backlash - there was some on the ICANN call - once people truly understand the full extent of this.
That's a good thought, Alison. It's a shame we didn't see more of that sort of coalition forming.
Thanks for the info, Sharon. That's an expense which is often overlooked: once you've paid for your gTLD, you then have to actually maintain it, which is an ongoing expense.
I agree, Sharon. This has the potential to do a lot of harm to midsize organizations and their copyrights. It seems a good opportunity for industry organizations - those serving small retailers, farmers, pharmacies, manufacturers, etc. - to band together and buy a few domains they can all share/lease. At least that way they have some control over certain key words. But even spread among hundreds, the price is steep.

Peak weekend and the big move
Mileage: 78.0 and 65.3
January mileage: 833.8
February mileage: 65.3
Hours: 8:15 and 8:00
Temperature: 8 and 20
This week, I learned an important lesson ... do not try to peak out your training and move to a new apartment in the same weekend. I don't know what's more exhausting: Hauling all the pieces to a king-sized bed a half block over glare ice; making dozens of weighted-down trips up two flights of stairs; cycling two consecutive eight-hour days; or attempting to organize a glut of stuff in an apartment already occupied by somebody else. I am going to go ahead and say the last task is the most exhausting. It's the only task not yet completed.
Still, I have been terribly busy, so I'm sorry to the people I owe e-mails and phone calls to. I don't even have much time to blog right now. But I had a encouraging, successful weekend of training in two very different conditions: Cold and clear, then warmer and snowy. I thought I'd throw in a picture dump of sorts right now, and maybe I'll have time to blather about it later. Enjoy.
I normally don't ride this close to the glacier, but I couldn't resist.
Eagle Beach wouldn't be such a bad winter camp spot.
There's Romeo, sitting in the snow. I'm really starting to get attached to this wolf. I wonder if he would let me take him home? Just kidding. My cats would hate that.
I didn't load down my bike this weekend, if only because I can't find half my gear. Hopefully it pops up from the crush of possessions in time for the race.
Lots of fresh snow made the riding extra slow today. But it still amazes me that I can even ride at all once the narrow trails have been generously powder-dusted. I've now used three different types of bikes for my winter riding. They've all had their advantages and disadvantages, but this Pugsley is truly the alpha bike.

Love the pics! Really enjoy following along with you on each ride, so thanks for letting us tag along. Hope the move goes well and you find your gear!

Best of luck in the race! I live in Grand Junction, CO. I hang out on Fatty's blog from time to time, as I am his brother-in-law. I am also an acquaintance of one Mike Curiak, of Iditabike fame. He has done it a few times, and knowing his capacity for endurance, gives me a hint of what you must be made of. It must be good to be tough.

great pics@! Man, you are one tough cookie!
- Snakebite said...
Moving into an apartment already occupied? What's up with that? A bit of overlap or are you going "commune?"
I agree with the other comments, fantastic pics, and good luck in the race.
Hey Jill~ Glad to hear you and Geoff accomplished your "move" without any significant problems. I was worried you might twist an ankle moving your 60" plasma screen TV ;-)

You are incredible. I've enjoyed every post and the pics are amazing. Thanks for the inspiration - just turned my old hard tail into my winter commuter. Check out the pics of my 2 yr old future snow biker: http://www.ericmoody.blogspot.com/

Thanks for sharing Romeo's story with the rest of us. I hope he fares well. He does seem to be so lonely.
Growing up in northern Minnesota I often had the opportunity to hear wolves howl on those cold winter nights. Over the years I've grown to be quite enamored with the species. I'm looking forward to getting up to the Gunflint Trail later this month. I miss it immensely.
Once again, I wish you well in your endeavor and hope that all the details and plans are falling into place. I look forward to following your progress.

It was only a matter of time before I left a post wishing you luck with your training and the upcoming Iditabike....So Good Luck! Velonews turned me to your blog and since then I've been hooked by your photos and writings. I live in Mackenzie BC, we are just coming out of a cold snap and should be receiving a good dump of snow this week, so not only am I looking forward to some great powder riding on my snowboard at the local hill but to also get back on my bike (in less severe temps) and that I owe to you. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm loving the bike rides short as they may be.
Take care and remember to taper.

She has a great voice! As others have said, the song is weak. But her voice is fantastic! Does she like country music? Because I can see her voice being excellent for soft country or something like that.
Sorry, but the thought of her doing a cover of Eye of the Tiger is hilarious! haha

Anyone can go back to all the forums they've ever joined to promote their selves/their friends with some made up story. You don't have to be a new member to make up stuff.
Seriously, though, why would Sony be like "get enough likes and we'll sign you lol". It's like those facebook forwards.

Isaiah 2: 1-5
Welcome to the season that begins once the tables are cleared from Thanksgiving. Welcome to the season that begins as the celebration of imagining new things—like a wall that now shows the stigmata of where the big red cross was, as it undergoes preparation for moving with us into our new space. Welcome to the season we mark with a wreath, and this time, one more time for old times' sake, with a lofty reprise of the big wreath that so often graced our sanctuary—this time courtesy of Verna Thomas and family. If you took the opportunity this morning to make that brief pilgrimage around our building, I hope something resonated with you, or that you discovered something you hadn't thought about before, or that you gained a new insight or perspective. If you weren't able to make the trip, I invite you to take a glance at the little signs that are now in the hallway. But in either case, I invite you—in a word or two—to say what came to your awareness during that time in our worship….
Lots of associations in that little tour, I'm sure, and there will be more, no doubt, as the weeks of this last month on site dwindle down. And herewith, not to put too frivolous a spin on things, but to offer light-heartedly what might be yet another perspective on all this: my hastily devised "Top Ten Things We WON'T Miss About This Building": (Drum rolls definitely permitted)
10. Opening the doors and dripping the faucets so the water lines won't freeze
9. Figuring out who's jamming our microphones
8. Putting up and taking down storm windows
7. Forgetting the combination to the key box
6. Wondering how much of the parking lot the snowplow will skim off
5. Renting scaffolding to change a light bulb
4. Hassling over parking with UVM
3. Roof leaking on the Bible
2. Mowing grass
1. Those phone calls asking how in the world to find us
There. I hope that didn't make too irreverent an inroad into your musings about our church home. But in its own lame sort of way, it does faintly echo Isaiah's vision of the future. Namely, that there is another side to all this. There is a future beyond whatever is painful in the present. On the other side of a dismaying world—or even a small Vermont corner of the world—there is a day disclosed by the voice of the divine that will be brighter, even brighter by far.
Isaiah the prophet—the part of the scroll we think of as "First Isaiah" rather than the later disciples who compiled the second part—was active in and around Jerusalem during the eighth century BCE, a time when the immediate threat on the horizon was the kingdom of Assyria. As Elinore put it the other day, the Assyrians were pretty good at making war, and most of their neighbors were not very good at standing up to them. It was a time, like other times before and since, when life was hard—a time of terror, injustice, and oppression. And the scroll of Isaiah is replete with images of the Assyrian juggernaut and its consequences, as well as no small amount of blame directed at the leadership of Judah for helping to get the people of Israel into this mess to begin with. There is plenty of condemnation to go around.
But, says the prophet, the day will come. The day will come when not only will things be looking up, they will be looking up in spades. Jerusalem and Mount Zion will be as if they are the center of the universe, the place where the God of the universe will bring to earth a new reign of peace, and all the nations will come there to have their disputes settled and to learn a new way to live with their neighbors without having to resort to killing each other. The powerful image of swords and spears turned into plowshares and pruning hooks is the keynote of Isaiah's pronouncement, of course, and it stands as a constant beacon of possibility not yet realized but immensely descriptive of the vast brightness of the divine vision, especially when it sits beside the reminders of humankind's own paltry and self-destructive efforts. And we are reminded that it was out of desperation that such an image appeared: perhaps the glut of swords had finally become obscene enough; a radical dream of a plowshare had to be conceived. The making of peace rather than war may often seem to be a pipe dream, but it is a powerful one that still judges human life, while offering a way we still haven't tried very much in all these centuries. Isaiah would argue that the disastrous results of what was supposed to be realpolitik in the eighth century BCE called into question which reality was the more real after all. We still live with this conundrum, and we still tend to choose the lesser reality over the greater one.
Some of you have heard pieces of my own lifelong effort to beat a sword into a plowshare, so I will be brief. A recipient of some of the most intense training the Department of Defense had to offer, I was once rather like a sword myself, sharpened and ready for anything I might be called upon to do. It wasn't until about six weeks into my tour of duty in Vietnam that I had what one would have to call a conversion experience, and it became clear to me that I was simply on the wrong path. Everything subsequent to that watershed has been an experience of trying to learn to be a nonviolent person, and I can tell you that although my struggle has hardly changed the world, and is still very much a work in progress, it has changed me and is still changing me. I really ain't gonna study war no more.
All of this is really mentioned in passing, as a way of affirming that Isaiah the prophet was right: that there is, by the grace of God, a bright new tomorrow that is possible for us all. It is possible as we live our lives more and more as people of peace, and it is possible as we live our lives—all the vicissitudes notwithstanding, such as having to find a new church home—living as people of hope in the realization of God's vision for humankind. No, we are not there yet. And it's mostly bigger than we are, but it is within the scope of each of our lives to change, one small life at a time. And to hope, always to hope. David Davis, in A Kingdom We Can Taste, puts it this way:
We must still be walking, because we're clearly not there yet. Those prophets' voice, the prophets' plural voice, the prophet's oracle includes an appeal, a reminder, an affirmation for those of us who find ourselves no longer strangers on this worn pathway of life and faith. A word to those of us yet trying to make some sense of what we see, trying to name some purpose. A word to those of us who pray with more than a hint of urgency, "Is a little more peace out of the question?" In days to come? What about now? And the Word of the Lord plays on….Yes, we're walking still. It must be Advent.
Yes, it must be Advent. And we ask ourselves, in so many ways and at so many levels, what is our own vision of the future? What is our vision of the future beyond the walls of this building, and in that new place where we are heading? What is our vision of the future, out beyond complacency and habit, in that new direction we are being led where we are not promised things will be easy, but that they will be different? What is our vision of the future beyond the habits of the nations, as we keep trying the same old destructive methods, insanely hoping for different results? What is our vision of the future beyond the national orgy of bloated excess that this season so often becomes, with its black Fridays and its hedging and leaching all but kills the spirit? What is our vision of the future that is out in a place on the other side of all that, where we practice giving simple daily thanks for the gifts of God that are enough for us to live? What is our vision of the future as the Season of the Birth of Possibility comes upon us today, and offers to blossom into something we could never have imagined or dreamed? What is our vision of the future, and how do we begin even now to step into it with hope and with trust and with hearts that have finally heard God's repeated message? I am with you. Don't be afraid.
…Gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside…
…Gonna study war no more.
I ain't gonna study war no more…
Gonna lay down my sword and shield…
Gonna walk with the Prince of Peace…
Gonna lay down my burden…

This is in response to the story titled, States likely to rethink mental health budgets. I am very glad about that. Many centers were closed, and the poor people just turned out on the streets. That is a terrible way to treat people.
Rep. Dan Cooper, Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said, There just wasnt enough money to go around. All politicians make me sick. There would be lots more money if they all took less salary, beginning with the president.

Am I a Jew?
My Journey Among the Believers and Pretenders, the Lapsed and the Lost, in Search of Faith (Not Necessarily My Own), My Roots, and Who Knows, Even Myself
ISBN 9781101590164 | 288 pages | 30 Aug 2012 | Plume | 18 - AND UP
Summary of Am I a Jew?
Summary of Am I a Jew?
Reviews for Am I a Jew?
An Excerpt from Am I a Jew?
"I was nine years old when my mother forced me to convert to Christianity…." When Theodore Ross moved from New York City to small-town Mississippi, his mother insisted that the family pretend to not be Jewish. He was sent to an Episcopal school, where he studied the Bible, sang in the choir, and even took communion. As an adult, he abandoned the religious charade, but wondered: Am I a Jew? In search of an answer, Ross immersed himself within communities on the fringes of Jewish identity—"Crypto-Jews," "Lost Tribes," the ultra-Orthodox, and more. Filled with humor, curiosity, and sincerity, Am I a Jew? explores America's riotous religious diversity, and one man's quest to stake a claim within it. Am I a Jew? It is an obvious question, but one that even the most sophisticated minds struggle to answer. It's a silly question, except millions have lost their lives, depending on their response. It's a religious question, except when an atheist asks it. There is, admittedly, a certain Hebraic quality in even asking it. "Theodore Ross, who may or may not be Jewish, is excellent company on the page. Whether he's discovering secret Jews in New Mexico, attempting to discern the brighter side of Orthodox Judaism, or interrogating his family members about their own religious foibles and dodges, Am I a Jew? is always moving, heartfelt, funny, and alive. This is a terrific—and terrifically odd—memoir." —TOM BISSELL, author of Extra Lives and Magic Hours "Am I a Jew is a brilliant American odyssey, one that is both inside and outside of traditions both national and religious; it's also often very funny, and always very empathic; Ross has written a genuinely great book." —RIVKA GALCHEN, author of Atmospheric Disturbances "[This] intelligent and altogether entertaining account of searching out the roots of identity will be of interest not only to those who've asked, 'Am I a Jew?' but also to anyone who's ever wondered, 'What am I, anyway?' One finishes this book thankful for a fuller understanding of the diverse strains within the Jewish tradition and not a little awed by the writer's compelling mix of skepticism, candor, and love." —GARRET KEIZER, author of Privacy and The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want "An elegant guide for the perplexed inhabitants of our increasingly disorienting world, Am I a Jew? is a profound meditation on the nature of modern identity." —ROGER HODGE, author of The Mendacity of Hope: Barack Obama and the Betrayal of American Liberalism |
