One-sided Will rebuffed by readers
George Will spoke to Bishop Bob Duncan and declared in his syndicated column that he is a kind of modern day Martin Luther. Episcopalians from around the country wrote letters to their editors saying "not so fast."
Will rehashes some of the old talking points:
It is not the secessionists such as Bishop Duncan who are, as critics charge, obsessed with homosexuality. The Episcopal Church's leadership is latitudinarian -- tolerant to the point of incoherence, Bishop Duncan and kindred spirits think -- about clergy who deviate from traditional church teachings concerning such core doctrines as the divinity of Christ, the authority of Scripture and the path to salvation. But the national church insists on the ordination of openly gay clergy and on blessing same-sex unions.In the 1960s, Bishop James Pike of California, who urged the church to jettison such "theological baggage" as the doctrines of Original Sin and the Trinity, was the last active bishop disciplined for theological reasons. Bishop Duncan doubts whether Bishop Pike would be disciplined today....
The Anglican communion once was a "via media," a middle way, between Catholicism and Protestantism. Now, Bishop Duncan says, the national leadership of the Episcopal Church thinks of itself as a bridge between Protestantism and the culture.
Episcopalians did not take Will's column lying down. Here is a sampling of some of the letters we've seen.
Dianne Eldridge of Murraysville, PA wrote to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
I read George F. Will's "A Cautionary Tale" (Oct. 20) with complete amazement. Mr. Will seems to have consigned the entire Episcopal Church of the United States to the category of " 'progressive' politics cloaked -- very thinly -- in piety." Apparently he bases his uninformed opinion on an interview with Robert Duncan, the recently deposed Episcopal bishop of Pittsburgh. It's good to know that we can all be summarily dismissed with this glib statement: "It [the church] celebrates an 'inclusiveness' that includes fewer and fewer members."I have a question for Mr. Will: If progressive is an evil in your eyes, can you show me the chapter and verse in the Bible describing Jesus, the foundation of our beliefs, as regressive? I also wonder how it is that Mr. Will knows all this about the Episcopal Church: personal experience, reading the newspapers, word of mouth? If from personal experience, I regret that his parish did not take seriously the second great commandment: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." If his experience is not personal, then I deeply regret his writing of a propaganda piece, which leaves me wondering if his other columns are as uninformed as this one.
On the other side of the Commonwealth, Christine Whitmore Papa of Stroudsburg, PA, wrote to the Pocono Record:
Yes, there has been a loss of membership, but new people are joining: just yesterday at my Stroudsburg church I met three new members.Yes, in my native England, Anglican churchgoers may be fewer than before, but Mr. Will doesn't mention that the boom in Catholic worshippers is due to the recent huge influx of Polish Catholics.
Is it necessarily "evidence of spiritual vigor" when a diocese leaves the Episcopal Church, sincere as a departing bishop may be? Doesn't it also take "spiritual vigor" to rise above dissension?
Those 650 bishops at the Lambeth Conference differed, often widely, in their views. Yet from reports of their meetings it seems they were able to discuss, and then set aside, their differences, and focus on prayer, meditation, and all that unites them as Anglicans.
Mr. Will says "The Episcopal Church... today... is 'progressive' politics cloaked — very thinly — in piety." No church is perfect, of course, and our leaders can be as flawed as any others, religious or secular. But in the pews I see believers of various backgrounds, drawn together by a desire to seek God and live as much as possible in the spirit of Jesus. While fostering tradition and keeping core Christian doctrines (we say the Nicene Creed weekly), the Episcopal Church has room for various understandings of what the Christian life means for us today.
Two Cathedral deans weighed in. The Very Rev. John P. Downey, Dean of the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Erie, PA said,
George Will's column about the "inclusiveness" of the Episcopal Church (Erie Times Oct. 20), was a simplistic attempt to describe some of the troubles that the church is undergoing.Numerical decline in membership has been experienced by all the historic mainline denominations in the United States for many reasons. These include decline in birth rate among their members and other demographic shifts, more honest and accurate record keeping, and a well-financed effort to weaken these churches by exploiting the cultural tensions they will inevitably have because of their democratic structures.
Along with these is the reality that the conventional churchgoing of past generations is increasingly marginal in our current culture.
As for the pitfalls of "inclusiveness," let me say that I know well what it feels like to be excluded for religious or other reasons.
The pain is deep and lasting. However, I can only imagine the further reaches of that pain for women and minorities of various kinds.
The Episcopal Church is far from perfect, but I will gladly live with the risks and even the well-intentioned errors of "inclusiveness," than the damaging effects of exclusiveness.
The Very Rev. Dr. Benjamin Shambaugh, Dean of The Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Portland, Maine wrote to the Portland Press Herald:
As a member of the clergy, I have heard it said that "pastors should preach about what they know and not about subjects they don't."After reading George Will's diatribe against The Episcopal Church, I would say the same about journalists. The Episcopal Church I know and have served as a priest for 20 years is not "more devoted to culture than to Christ" but exactly the opposite.
When the Episcopal Church seeks to welcome all the baptized to all of its sacraments, empower women, serve the poor or advocate for justice, it is doing these things not to be politically correct or to give into the culture, but rather to give culture glimmers of the Kingdom of God proclaimed by Scripture and by Christ himself.
Grounded in deep respect for Scripture, the great Anglican traditions of worship and teaching and God-given reason, the Episcopal Church strives to be about what Jesus was about and do what Jesus would do.
It is not the Episcopal Church but rather the religious right that has become more devoted to culture (and one political party) than to Christ.
And Ben Garren wrote to the same paper:
A few points on George Will's Oct. 21 piece ("Traditional Anglicans channel Martin Luther in modern-day schism"):First, Luther had no intention of leaving the Roman Catholic Church, only of reforming it.
The pope and the German monarchy lied to Luther, offering him a safe hearing while planning to murder him.
The Most Rev. Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh has specifically decided to leave the Episcopal Church, having not the stomach to follow Christ and sit at a table with those society deems to be unworthy.
He has been given a fair and honest hearing according to the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church and has been deposed.
Second, Bishop James Pike, the "last active bishop disciplined for theological reasons," was a man who had gone through much family trauma that had left him mentally unstable and no longer able to give proper pastoral care.
Third, "Via Media" does not refer to a middle way between Protestantism and Catholicism but a middle way between affective and speculative spiritual methods.
Fourth, the liberal social justice movement of the Anglican Church stems from the Oxford Movement of the 1850s and a return to Incarnation Theology. It has its roots in the Gospels and early church fathers and mothers.
Finally, The Episcopal Church is seeing no more decline than conservative Christian denominations -- so it is rather difficult to say that the reason for decline is that The Episcopal Church has decided to include the disenfranchised in its ranks instead of excluding them.
Did someone you know speak up for the Episcopal Church in your local paper? Tell us in the comments below.
I left the following comment on the Washington Post website in response to George Will's article.
"The difference between former-bishop Duncan and other people of conscience is he wants to leave the Episcopal Church, but keep the silver. If he were leaving simply for conscience's sake, we would wish him well and Godspeed. Unfortunately, he has chosen to try and take church property with him. In his case, the entire diocese, its buildings, its endowments, etc. He has even been transferring assets to holding accounts. No matter what the lean in your theology, I believe that is called theft."
That having been said, George Will is probably the most erudite and well-spoken conservative commentator in the United States. He and I agree on little, except our mutual love of baseball, but I have great personal respect for him.
His facts are wrong, data is missing, and he has drawn unsubstantiated conclusions in this article. His views do, however, cause me to wonder whether we are always, as a church, fulfilling the command to be good stewards of the gifts and talents of previous and future generations of Episcopalians, or whether we have run afoul of the injunction of 1 Corinthians 6:7 - "In fact, to have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?"
I do not have an easy, glib answer to this, but if even someone of George Will's abilities sees us this way, it makes you wonder.
The Presiding Bishop and various challenged dioceses have handled things in a court of law, and I think it has been necessary. Seeing us through an outsider's eyes, however, will add a needed dose of humility to how I will talk about this issue.

Daniel Lieberman
Daniel Lieberman, in full Daniel Eric Lieberman
(born June 3, 1964), American paleoanthropologist best known for his part in developing and testing the endurance-running hypothesis and for his research into the biomechanics of barefoot running. Lieberman was raised in Connecticut and Rhode Island by his parents, Philip and Marcia Lieberman. He received an A.B. in anthropology from Harvard University in 1986 and earned master's degrees in biological anthropology from the University of Cambridge in 1987 and in anthropology from Harvard in 1990. Lieberman received a Ph.D. in anthropology from Harvard in 1993. After early appointments at Rutgers University and George Washington University, he returned to Harvard in 2001 to serve as professor of anthropology. His early research involved studies that explored the structure of the skull and dentition of early hominins; however, his interests quickly expanded to include the influence of biomechanical forces on the evolution of bones. In 2004 Lieberman and American biologist Dennis M. Bramble investigated long-distance-running performance in humans and how it evolved. Building on early work by American biologist David Carrier, Lieberman and Bramble outlined the endurance-running hypothesis, which states that the ability of humans to run long distances is an adaptation that ...

Police said for the second time in a week, a vehicle has rammed into a drug store, leaving a lot of damage in Richmond, Indiana.
Investigators said a stolen truck hit Phillips Drugs at 17th Street and East Main Street around 2:30 a.m Tuesday.
Damage is reported to be substantial, and the owner confirms that the suspect did get away with some drugs.
The same drug store was rammed with a vehicle early in the morning December 3. At that time, nothing was taken.

Normandiefront: D-Day to St Lo Through German Eyes
- Author:
- Milano, Vince Conner, Bruce
- Publisher:
- The History Press Ltd
You probably already know the basic story of what happened on D-Day - but it is almost certain that your knowledge is based upon books written from the Allied perspective. "Normandiefront" provides a fresh and unique exploration of the greatest seaborne invasion in history. It also explains just why the Americans on Omaha beach suffered the Longest Day of all. As the ramps went down and the Amis plunged into the water, their commanders expected them to face just one battalion of mediocre occupation troops - but the veterans and the new recruits of the 352nd Division were waiting instead. Authors Vince Milano and Bruce Conner have interviewed the surviving members of that formidable fighting force - at the same time amassing a collection of German and Allied photographs and documents, many of which are published here for the first time. The fight to get off the beach and then the seemingly interminable struggle through the bocage - from hedgerow to hedgerow, as the German line fell back only to reform and counter-attack time and time again, all the way to the ruins of St Lo - was one of the most intense ever experienced by any army. Generalleutnant Dietrich Kraiss' deployment of his men is a fascinating military case study in itself. The General, responsible for the stretch of coastline that included Omaha beach and part of Gold beach, was an Eastern Front veteran, as were many of his men. He was therefore used to facing an adversary who outnumbered and outgunned his forces and was well versed in the tactics of defence and counter-attack. The division actually expected to be sent East any day and had been trained for it. Denied the use of one third of his division during the crucial first hours of the invasion that had been held in reserve by higher commands, he tenaciously held his ground until they were released and then mounted a skilful defensive campaign. The reinforcements needed to contain the Allied breakout from the beachhead never came - partly because German High Command refused to accept that Normandy really was the main invasion target and not Pas de Calais. As the authors point out, 'Any Grenadier in the 352nd could have told them differently.' With over 200 photographs and those priceless interviews with German veterans, "Normandiefront" is an important addition to the literature of World War II, telling as it does the story of how one German

John Tricas said he heard opportunity knocking and learned networking software two decades ago, when it was the "next big thing." Now he senses a similar opening as the health-care overhaul law takes effect. In September, the 56-year-old information-technology worker took a job troubleshooting issues doctors, nurses and other users are having with a new government-funded electronic-records system at a Raleigh, North Carolina, health-care company.
"Normally I wouldn't have taken this, because I have done things at a higher level," Tricas said of the recruiting call for the position. "But I said, 'I'll take it' because that gets my foot in the door."
With President Barack Obama's re-election ensuring that his2010 law will be implemented, companies are scouting for workers like Tricas to fill hundreds of thousands of jobs in everything from running records systems to creating and servicing new insurance exchanges and entering thousands of additional codes for health-care treatments.
The federal government projects that under the law, 30 millionmore Americans will start getting coverage in 2014 through expanded state Medicaid programs or private insurers, or pay a penalty. A study published this month in the Annals of Family Medicine found that the newly insured will contribute to rising demand for medical services, requiring an estimated 8,000 more doctors over 12 years. They also will create jobs for workers in support fields such as IT, already in short supply.

MI House approves auto insurance reforms
By Laura Weber, Michigan Public Radio Network
Lawmakers in the state House approved a package of bills Wednesday that Democrats say would hold auto insurers more accountable for unfair business practices.
Democrats in the House spent the week discussing consumer-protection measures. Democratic state Representative Barb Byrum chairs the committee that handled the auto insurance bills.
"I think the public wants consumer protections, I think this is a consumer protection and I think regardless of party affiliation we should support consumer protection, accountability and transparency," she says.
The legislation being debated on the House floor will most likely be ignored in the Republican-led Senate. But as the 2009 Legislative session is scheduled to wrap up at the end of the week, lawmakers are turning their sights on 2010, which is an election year. And Democrats often use consumer-protection issues to their advantage on the campaign trail.

TULOY ANG BYAHE for the most bankable Multi-Platinum OPM singer-songwriter on this side of the planet – NOEL CABANGON.
His new album under Universal Records is currently doing great in the music charts and it is one of the top album in the downloading site www.mymusicstore.com.ph since it was released less than two months ago.
Tuloy Ang Byahe is a follow-up to the hit Byahe, released more than two years ago. It features Noel's renditions of some of the most loved OPM classics, originally performed by icons Smokey Mountain, Leah Navarro, VST and Company, Dulce, APO, Freddie Aguilar, Florante, Rey Valera, Hotdog, Zsa Zsa Padilla, among others.
Noel Cabangon was at Robinsons Place Ermita last Saturday for a mall show and album signing – you can really tell that his music has a lot of true following because of the flock of people who went to see him perform live at the Midtown Atrium and the long line after the show for the CD signing.
One more great news for fans of Noel like myself, he will be having a major concert at the Music Museum this coming September 28 entitled TULOY ANG BYAHE. Joining him are Asiansensation Christian Bautista, multi-talented rapper Gloc-9 and other special guests.
This concert is produced and directed by PETA. For tickets, call Ticketworld at 891-9999.
For more about Noel Cabangon and concert bookings, contact Orion Entertainment at 0916-4140358 or email firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com.

Welcome to Ocean Approved. We produce delicious vegetables from the sea with minimal impact to the environment. We love the ocean and are committed to sustainable practices. We employ a combination of aquaculture and mariculture techniques year-round, and are excited to be moving from wild harvesting to cultivating our kelps. In fact, we operate the first open water kelp farms in the U.S.
We are committed to the sustainable harvest of this vital ocean resource, and look forward to providing only cultivated kelp and seaweeds in the future.
Our name reflects our commitment to the environment and preserving the oceans for future generations. Out on the water, we ask ourselves: If the ocean could talk, would she approve of what we are doing? These practices also guarantee that we are producing the highest quality kelp products available. Once you taste our products, we know that you will approve if it's Ocean Approved!
We are proud to be the first commercial kelp farmers in the U.S. Our waters in the cold Gulf of Maine are perfect for growing our three varieties of kelp. Kelp is a fast growing winter crop. We seed in the late fall and harvest in the early spring. Because kelp is a green plant, farming kelp improves the quality of water. Like other green plants, it absorbs nitrogen, CO2, phosphorus and other nutrients as it grows. Kelp farms also provide shade and structure (habitat) for many other marine organisms.
Our research in creating kelp "seed" was funded in large part by the U.S. Department of Commerce through their NOAA agency and the Maine Technology Institute. In the fall of 2013, Ocean Approved along with our research partner the University of Connecticut will make available the "manual" for kelp farming for all those that are interested in entering this field.
Kelp farming allows us to grow a highly nutritious food without the use of fresh water, arable land or fertilizers.

As car companies struggle to meet growing demand, the third shift is making a comeback. But many factories running on three shifts are doing it differently from in the past. And that new "three crew" shift pattern could make what's normally a hard job even harder.
At Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, employees work 10-hour shifts four days a week. The so-called A crew gets days, while the B crew gets afternoons. But the C crew shift rotates its start time every week. On Fridays and Saturdays, workers start at 6:00 a.m. On Mondays and Tuesdays, they start at 4:30 p.m.

Thousands of people in Windsor, Ontario, say they are being invaded by an obnoxious noise emanating from outside Detroit. They call it the "Windsor Hum," and it's really two sounds — a deep, very low-frequency hum, like a diesel truck idling in your driveway, and a deep, vibrating pulse that you feel more than you hear.

Paul Schubert and his wife decided to buy a new car last summer — a really fuel-efficient one. After a lot of research, they settled on a Toyota Prius. But there was a problem: They couldn't find one.
The tsunami that devastated Japan in March had dried up supplies of the Prius, which is made in Japan, and a dealer told them they would have to wait — "about four months," Schubert says. "And we thought, well, it'd be, probably, end of November, early December before we were going to have a car."
The Schuberts still had a working car.

Seventy years ago, 70 percent of U.S.-made cars came with a stick shift. The number is less than 9 percent today.
But at least one man is on a quest to reverse that slide.
Eddie Alterman loves automobiles. He's a gear head. He's the top editor at Car and Driver magazine. His whole career, he has watched the sales of cars with stick shifts decline. And when Ferrari failed to offer a manual option for the new 458 Italia, he said, enough's enough. Basta.

Newest Review: ... for the first half, growing more mundane as we approached London. The coach was clean and comfortable, and the staff efficient and fr... more
A Berry Good Coach Service
Berrys Coaches
Member Name: Nibelung
Berrys Coaches
Date: 25/07/11
Advantages: Excellent service between West Country and London. Cheaper (and quicker) than National Express
Disadvantages: Still gets stuck in traffic.
Just recently some close friends of ours have rented out their Ealing flat and moved to their main house in a village called Nether Stowey, near Bridgwater in Somerset.
No don't worry, this isn't going to be one on my 'when will he get to the point?' diatribes - I'm just positioning why I now have a yen to go there.
For some months before they made the move and before my friend Ian could officially retire, he'd been making a weekend round trip to 'Stowey' as he called it, mostly by coach directly after work from London to Bridgwater.
I think most people who'd never made a long-distance coach trip before, and I'm not talking coach tours here, would immediately assume that National Express is the one to beat and probably look no further on the assumption that there'd be no point in doing so.
It helps that my pal Ian is a 'bit of a bus expert', the 'bit' bit being a slight understatement, 'nerd' being more accurate.
What I'm about to write is partly a recommendation for a specific company, and partly a recommendation to you not to assume that National Express are the only ones in the game.
It stands to reason that many provincial 'small operators' have a return service to London, if only to serve the 'treat yourself to a weekend in the bright lights' market, especially if Take That have reformed.
It therefore follows that they have buses leaving London, possibly largely empty on a Friday night, and this is where Berry's Coaches of Taunton come into my particular equation.
Berry's offer two routes linking London with the West Country; one via the M4 corridor with a first stop of Bridgwater, and the other, a slightly more circuitous one using the M3/A303 via such places as Ilminster and Yeovil before regrouping at Taunton. The former then goes onto Tiverton in Devon.
Equally importantly for me, they start at Bay D in Hammersmith Bus Station which saves me either the longer haul into Victoria just to come back out of London again, or the suffering of the doubtful 'delights' of Heathrow Bus station in the rush-hour, as N-EX do.
At first, I had to re-read their schedule. Hammersmith to Bridgwater non-stop in 2 hours 40 minutes? This is a far cry from N-Ex's Westward Ho! via Bridgwater Service which not only dawdles off the M4 to pick up in Reading but also waits 30 minutes for a crew change and 'comfort break' at the M4's Membury services*. It's easy to see why N-EX take at least 90 minutes longer to reach Bridgwater on their way to the only place in the British Isles to have an exclamation mark in its name. - and all for more money!
(*It's about time that coach companies ferried people into town centres on a shuttle, leaving express coaches to pull into motorway services solely, just as you might get a bus to and from the local train station - all this diverting into town centres can only devalue the use of the word 'express'.)
Anyone used to the walk-on fare at train stations will take a deep intake of breath when they see coach fares in general.
I took a particularly deep intake when I looked at Berry's prices - of course I have now reached a 'certain age' which makes all kinds of travel cheaper for me, from completely free in London, and thanks to various cards, cheaper elsewhere too.
Berry's also have senior concession rates (although I like to take them to task over the labelling of my ticket 'OAP'. You're a bit 'previous' guys!)
Adult fares are £16 single, £17 for a day return and £22 for a period return. Under 16s get charged half of these rates. Seniors get a concession rate for these 3 categories of £14, £15 and £18 respectively, although further discounts apply - *see below.
Generally speaking, the senior's discount reduces the standard adult return fare from £22 (already a steal compared to rail) down to £18. *Canny oldies, i.e. most of us, also avoid travelling on a Friday or Bank Holidays and then we get to travel for half fare, as do children under 16. The 16-25s are also taken care of if they purchase a Student Card for £5 p.a. as this then qualifies them for the 'ordinary' senior discounts.
The first time I used them about 6 weeks ago, I travelled on a Friday down to Bridgwater and so was charged £18, whereas on this last occasion I left on a Wednesday, and bingo, down went the fare to £11 return. To be honest, I don't suppose I could get to Swindon and back from west London in my car for that money these days - and someone else gets to do the driving.
Just about the only surcharge is for the use of a 'premium seat'. In the case of their double-deckers, these tend to be those seats situated around a table downstairs, or the front row seats upstairs. Even then, the so-called premium is hardly likely to break the bank at £1 per person per direction.
On my first trip, I looked around the coach the second it closed its doors at Hammersmith (and on the stroke of 3.00 exactly I might add), and moved to the front seat. No-one batted an eyelid, let alone charged me anything. I think all the upstairs passengers had a similar idea, it being so 'slack'. This allowed for everyone to bag a 'windy seat' and make sure that no-one was behind them so that the full recline of the seat could be taken advantage of. Mind you, this was only 3 p.m. on a Friday. I don't suppose later departures are so relaxed. They certainly aren't on a Sunday evening on the way back, the Tiverton and Taunton passengers having already taken up any 'plum seats' which weren't booked by the time the bus pulls into Bridgwater.
Exceptionally, on my most recent journey down, there were only a few spare seats, on account of a Take That concert the previous night, and so I found myself surrounded by 30-something females all nursing iPads and headaches of various origins! I did however move right up front again but had the pay the £1 this time!
Yes, the buses have an on-board lavatory compartment, hence the lack of need to pull into Membury services for a 'pit stop' - pit I said, watch my lips.
The on-board courier also purveys snacks and hot and cold drinks to your seat at reasonable prices.
All seats now have a lap belt to comply with the law, and front row seats have the full 'lap and diagonal' versions, which I found a bit constricting and even hard to pull out far enough in the first place. However, this is a small price to pay for being able to watch Berkshire, Wiltshire and West Country scenery glide past at what seems a graceful rate from 12 feet off the ground. Use of my mobile's sat-nav confirmed to me that the driver did in fact have his 'pedal to the metal' most of the time, obviously going by his own speedometer set to 65 mph, whereas the sat-nav told of speeds about 2 mph lower. Since they are permitted to go faster than trucks, they get to do a lot of overtaking. These drivers are so skilled at this manoeuvre that they rarely slow down at all, starting their pull-out from about a quarter of a mile back. On my first trip I was aware of braking on the motorway about once.
Of course, this is how they maintain their 2 hours 40 minute timing to Bridgwater, but of course, it all falls apart when good old 'sheer weight of traffic' rears its ugly head. There again, you'd be fuming in the same jam in your car!
By the way, if you're very tall, not just 6'1" like me, you might want to give the front seats a miss, as there's nowhere under which to slide your feet.
The coach is declared a 'quiet area' from the get-go, and in my experience most people honour this, sticking to texting rather than phone conversations. What a pleasant change from trains where even 'quiet carriages' are violated by just about anyone who wants to.
Being mostly on a motorway, mobile reception s 100% from what I could see, and keeping friends appraised of my ETA was not a problem.
There are overhead luggage racks, but you need 'flexible' bags such as rucksacks to use it. An airplane overhead locker it isn't! Luckily, there's a generous boot in these busses accessed over both of the rear axles. Drivers put it there and retrieve it for you, so just stand back and let them get on with it.
Quite apart from the courier recognising you from last time, which after only two trips makes you more likely to never book N-EX again, but they look after their passengers.
Having spotted that they only had one lady passenger travelling all the way to Tiverton, they booked her a taxi from Taunton to their door. Thereby everyone's happy.
Berry's save a shed load of diesel, their staff get an early night and a happy customer gets all the way home without the hassle of getting from the bus station to their house
You can contact Berry's on 01823 331356, or use their on-line booking service at www.berryscoaches.co.uk. This uses a standard secure server for your payments and shows you the seat layout of their double-deckers. All you then do is turn up at the bus station with your confirmation e-mail which counts as your ticket. If available, you can also turn up on the day and buy your ticket on the bus.
Say what you like about trains, they don't tend to get caught in traffic jams, so even if you have had to stand all the way from Bristol to Paddington in a 5-car train that should have been 8, it tends to get there.
Not so with coaches. These get stuck in the same jams as do car drivers. For example, on my last Sunday return it took 45 minutes longer than scheduled to get home, merely because the stretch from Slough to Hammersmith took over an hour to complete, despite only being about 18 miles.
Obviously, National Express spread their net somewhat wider, but with a 'bargain fare' of £26.50, they'd have to do a lot to persuade me not to use Berry's for this particular journey unless I really wanted to make the journey last as long as possible!
Clearly, a small operator can't offer much of a frequency, and Berry's are no exception. Two departures each way per route, per day is all they can manage normally, with more services of Fridays.
I would however urge users of coaches, not to assume that National Express are the only players. I think now, as a rule, I'd look for operators in the area of my destination not just in my own locality. It certainly pays dividends in my case.

Eight years ago today, Suzanne and I were married.
It's weird. In some ways, it seems like it's been a whole lot longer and in others it seems it was just yesterday. We've been through a lot, Suzanne and I. We've weathered some truly harsh storms. Through it all, we've held tightly onto each other.
Eight years ago today, God kept his promise.
I love you, Suzanne.

The men's basketball team has traveled to Evart, MI every year for the last six years to spend time with the kids at Pineview Boys Home. Today, some of the staff of Pineview, brought some of the boys from the home to Fremont, MI to help the Tigers with their fundraising effort. " It was great to have so much help today in the squash field", said Head Coach Gary Bailey. "Kent Karnemaat of Karnemaat Farms is a great friend and he offered us the oportunity to work picking squash this fall to help earn money for our Hawaii trip this year. It is really hard work and it was great that the Pineview boys came down to help. We have spent alot of time at Pineview over the years working and playing along side the boys and today they gave up their time to help us. I also want to thank the staff, Steve and Drew, for coming down and working so hard."
The Tigers will begin practice next month to kick off their 2009-10 season.

This was brought to my attention earlier today, and it piqued my interest enough to invest in it to become a BETA tester for it. It's an open source editor that lets you do real time collaborative editing no matter where you are. Could be really useful (or a massive pain in the arse!) but it's a great idea. What I am most interested in is whether this is going to be totally stand alone, as in will projects cut in this be transferable to local editing systems like FCP, Premiere, AVID, or do we have to edit on this the whole time? Lots of questions!
Personally I am looking forward to doing a collaborative edit, and when that person says they are just nipping to the loo, I'll add a cross dissolve to EVERY cut for a laugh!
I love the idea that the rushes and renders will be in the cloud as well as local. Of course with my recent hotel internet experience, I know editing there will be a no-go. Am lucky to load a Vimeo 3 minute video in a hour at some places!
This is from the team:
"We're nearly done with hardest part of our collaborative editor (dealing with files). And that means we're close to having a tool that can do honest-to-god real-time collaborative video editing. By our count, this will be a world-first.
We'd like you to be one of the first 100 people in the world to experience collaborative editing. So if you've got $299.99 burning a hole in your pocket for some reason, you can help us deliver the future, plus make sure you're first in line to try it.
If we meet our funding goal, we're confident we can deliver ground breaking collaborative editing, although likely with just a few of our planned editing features implemented. But we're in this for the long haul, and should this project blow up in the press, that means we can charge full steam ahead for that much longer before needing to stop and scramble for money again."
Check out the kickstarter page! and do invest in a really worthwhile project!

I've heard Avid is working on something like this as well– which unfortunately for these guys means their product will never lift off if Avid gets there first.
@Zak Ray – Avid certainly has a lot of name recognition, but in my own opinion as a young-buck DSLR toting video guy, it's a name that connotes "OLD" and "CLUNKY." Unless they're working on a framework shift in hopes of capitalizing on the FCP blunder I think that this could go for (*if* it works and isn't too convoluted).
@Philip – Your take seems right – either revolutionary or a pain. Let us know how it goes!
i have read about novacut weeks ago… seems interesting. please, philip, keep us informed. i hope that your post will help to improve their proyect. thank you in that case.
i´m still searching for a professional open source editor (and affordable), and i´m sure there are many with the same search. i would love to abandone windows plataform.
lightworks, from editshare, seems really interesting too… in the other side, adobe doesn´t seem to hear this need (i would go right now for cs5.5 if it could run on linux… … there is nothing to wait for in apple … and now we have some new info about avid… please zak, are you meaning that avid is looking into an opensource editing suite or maybe into a collaborative/cloud editing suite?
(why i want an opensource editing suite running under a opensource s.o.? is ideological, nothing else
How about Lightworks which became open source about a year ago. I personnaly never tried it since i'm a mac user and it's only available on windows so far but they say it should be coming to mac before the end of the year. I will give it a try when it will be available since i'm looking at other solutions to replace final cut pro
Hey Philip,
This company is doing something interesting:
You can upload and share all rushes – they have drop in centers to do this quickly. You can then sync up edits with things like FCP or do rough cuts directly on their site.
I wonder how is this project Open Source ? I can't find the sources on the website.
If I want the sources of Firefox (for instance) which is really an Open Source project, I just have to go on their website.I might be wrong, but for me this is not (yet?) an Open Source project…
Yes, 100% open source.

You've worked hard to prepare your presentation slides, and you believe you know how to capture the attention of the people seated before you. However, once your slides go up, you notice snickers here and there in the audience. Why are they snickering? What mistakes in your presentation slides brought them on?
Here are three possible reasons why your presentation slides are getting hate.
Your wording is a little off. Sometimes, speakers try to get too clever with their presentation slides. Whether a bad pun or bad rhyme, you could be just trying too hard to make your presentation slides give your talk for you. Your slides are supposed to accompany you, not the other way around. Don't make them do your job.
Your references are from a time machine. You may have loved the 1970s, but if your audience isn't the right demographic, they might start snickering about your age or wonder what they could learn from someone who didn't grow up in the digital age. Sure, you can use classic references, but choose your pop culture references carefully.
Your images are generic. Unfortunately, people in business tend to favor the same stock images. So, when your slides show up with the same generic faces that your audience has seen either on the slides of the speaker before you or on someone else's slides, your listeners are going to stop paying attention.
Want to see other ways that folks ruin their presentation slides? Check out the following slideshow… and consider it your "how NOT to" for creating presentation slides.

If you go to Haley Jacobs' home, it's highly unlikely you will find the Abilene woman's 11-month-old daughter entertaining herself on a play mat or sleeping soundly in a swing while her mom folds clothes or finishes dishes.
That's because the two rarely are separated, even at home. Rather, Jacobs often can be found wearing her daughter. In a manner of speaking.
Jacobs keeps Jacelyn close by way of a sling or wrap. "Baby-wearing" is one of several ways Jacobs practices attachment parenting, a child-rearing model that stresses the development of a nurturing connection through emotional and physical bonds.
People long have practiced attachment parenting, sometimes called AP, but the method has been receiving a lot more attention since a May cover story in Time magazine.
The lengthy article detailed the history of attachment parenting. The photo for the cover story — titled "Are You Mom Enough?" — showed Los Angeles mother Jamie Lynne Grumet breast-feeding her 3-year-old son.
The photo initially caused a stir, but the article was not without controversy.
The headline itself appeared to turn motherhood into a competition, said Mary McDowell, an Abilene mother of three. She said it spurred her to start a Facebook group, Mama Tribe of West Texas, for area mothers who practice attachment parenting.
The three basic practices of attachment parenting — co-sleeping (also called bed sharing), baby-wearing and extended breast-feeding — are among the topics discussed by the group, which allows members to speak freely about some of their parenting practices that may be considered odd to those who practice more conventional parenting.
McDowell said the three basic AP principles are upheld in a variety of ways among practitioners. She described co-sleeping as the practice of a mother keeping a baby in the bed with her, but sometimes parents use a co-sleeper — a bassinet or small crib pulled alongside the bed.
She defined baby-wearing as a mother keeping her baby close to her body for the majority of the day, often using a sling. For many attachment parents, extended breast-feeding means continuing until a child self-weans.
Most AP moms have adopted one or all of these practices, McDowell said, and agree on a variety of others.
For McDowell, attachment parenting means keeping her 3-year-old and 1-year-old sons in the bed with her or very near the bed with the help of a co-sleeper.
Although the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that infants should not be placed in adult beds for fear of suffocation, McDowell said she believes she makes it safe by limiting pillows and blankets in the bed and being a very light sleeper.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends room sharing rather than bed sharing, and McDowell said she considers keeping the baby in the bedroom but in its own bed as still a form of co-sleeping.
Her 6-year-old daughter normally sleeps in her own bed, McDowell said, but there is a spare crib mattress stowed in her parent's bedroom should she wake up and want to be near her mom. She said she does not have a timeline in mind for how long her children will breast-feed.
McDowell said she decided to follow the AP model after trying different methods when her oldest child was a baby.
"I did the cry-it-out method and I hated it, I really did," she said. "So I promised myself after doing it the conventional way, leaving her in the crib, that I was never doing that again."
Letting children cry themselves to sleep in their cribs is a form of sleep training popularized by Dr. Benjamin Spock decades ago. It was what her mother advised her to do, McDowell said.
Jacobs and her husband decided to follow the AP model before their daughter was born. Haley Jacobs also said that she doesn't believe in the cry-it-out method; she and her daughter co-sleep and she does not have an age in mind for weaning her daughter off breast milk.
"I have no idea how long it will go," she said, "just until she's done."
She said she realizes her daughter eventually will outgrow their current sleeping arrangement. For now, though, co-sleeping is a great way for Jacobs and her daughter to get enough sleep, she said.
"There's no way I wouldn't co-sleep," she said. "It would just be exhausting."
If her daughter wakes up hungry in the middle of the night, Jacobs said she can easily breast-feed from bed and get back to sleep.
Their routine and AP habits might be more difficult if she and her husband had more than one child, Jacobs said, but for now she is satisfied.
As her daughter gets older, Jacobs said she plans to continue the nurturing style of parenting. She said she doesn't believe in spanking as a viable form of discipline. Rather, she will lean to teaching as opposed to physical punishment.
She said she has not faced a lot of opposition to her parenting method, but some people have expressed concern that she is too attentive to the needs of her daughter.
"People think that I spoil her a lot of times," Jacobs said, "because I don't just sit and let her scream if she's upset. If she's crying and wants to be held, then I hold her. People say 'she's just crying because she wants to be held.' But in my opinion, if she's crying to be held, then she needs to be held, she needs attention."
McDowell said she has encountered similar opposition.
"They say 'do what the doctor says' or 'don't be too empathetic,"' McDowell said. "I just believe in meeting their needs, continuing what I did for them in the womb."
She said she doesn't let her children cry often, and she's always within earshot. However, McDowell said she doesn't consider her children to be coddled. She said they love to do things on their own, and she has watched her daughter, especially, become more independent with every passing birthday.
Her 3-year-old is making the transition from co-sleeping to sleeping in his own bed. Her 1-year-old likes to play with his older siblings.
Both moms said they chose attachment parenting because they believed it would work best for their families.
"I do it so that my children would learn to trust the world, trust me, trust their father and not have to worry about being alone ever or feeling unimportant," McDowell said. "They know that they are very well-loved and cared for and if they needed anything, they could come to Mommy and Daddy."

Hire the Hyperlocal(s)
We've all heard the phrase "EAT LOCAL". We've also heard the phrase "BUY LOCAL" and "SHOP LOCAL" and soon you will hear the phrase "HIRE LOCAL" or "HIRE HYPERLOCAL".
I'm sure this has been said before and probably already exists in many areas but, can you imagine going to fill in a job application and it asking you something like: How many people do you know in the community? or Are you a member of any social clubs, churches or other?
Essentially your employer will want to know how many people you know and are connected to locally and why wouldn't they. If you can bring value into their business via your local affiliations isn't this a valuable thing?
The other day I was at the bank in my town of 20,000 people. The bank brands itself as a community bank. The bank, however; has enough branches that it seems to have grown out of it's small town feel and connection.
There was a long line of customers waiting patiently to be seen. Unfortunately on this busy day however there was only one teller available, so it was a long wait.
As I waited in line I noticed how this individual bank teller was able to greet every single person by their first name. She also then either asked them a question or mentioned something of relevance to each and every customer.
How's your brother doing?
Did you guys win your tennis game yesterday?
Say hi to Susan…
I was impressed to say the least, because there were about seven people and, she did this with every single person!
When it was my turn I asked her, "How do you know all these people?… Did you memorize names?
Are you required by your bank to remember these customers names" and most importantly….
"Do you get paid extra for the value you bring to your business?"
I know for a fact that I haven't even been greeted by the bank manager, nor have I seen any other individual greet and interact with so many individuals at one time.
She explained to me that she had grown up in the town and that her father was a local mechanic. Over the course of the last twenty five years she had developed relationships with practically everyone in the community. Plus the fact that she simply enjoyed meeting and working with people was an added bonus.
This bank would be getting real value simply by hiring this woman as a community representative. So the question is? What value can hyper local hiring bring to your business?
Do you gain a business edge in doing local business simply because your customers know and like you?
Should hyper locals be paid more for the value they can bring to your business?
What about the risk of firing hyper locals?
Let me know what you think below.

My good friend Nick Paumgarten will doubtless be surprised to hear that I am rooting for the Flyers to go all the way to the Cup. I do this in part from residual Philadelphia sympathies—the Flyers at the old Spectrum were the first N.H.L. team I ever watched—and in part because their mix of old-style Flying Frenchman panache (Briere, Giroux) and Philadelphia muscle is an appealing one. (How did the Habs miss Giroux? Don't get me started.)
I will add, however—and he won't be surprised by this—that I still side with the majority of my Canadian countrymen (with Ken Dryden, for instance, Hall of Famer, the man in goal for the 1972 Canada-Soviet Union series, six-time Cup winner, but, not, apparently, considered a real hockey fan) in their belief that the goonery has gone too far, and that in the first round of the playoffs, "the unimaginable was happening in front of our eyes every night." Far from thinking that those who hate the violence are not real hockey fans, it seems to me that too often, in what we back home call "the States," the problem is violence fans glomming unhappily onto hockey.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
In contrast to the U.S. Federal Government offices and the stock market, Colorado's state offices will remain open Friday during the state funeral for former President Ronald Reagan in Washington, D.C.
All federal offices will be closed to observe the national day of mourning. The closure will include suspended regular mail service.
Governor Owens says the practice in Colorado has been to maintain services for citizens, but he urges everyone to take a moment to recall Reagan's accomplishments.
State offices in Colorado remained open following the deaths of
President Lyndon Johnson and President Richard Nixon. Owens plans to attend Reagan's funeral in Washington, D.C.

Garden House
Project Zen Garden… A complete renovation on the inside that boasts clean, modern lines and finishes with a natural Zen garden approach to the outside. Large window openings were created in all areas to give this 4800 square foot home maximize natural light and the tranquil serenity of the garden space. Structural beams were added to create a complete open floor plan on the entire main floor and staircase.
Cornwall Renovation
Completed 2012 Designed by False Creek Design Group Mechanical & Electrical Recessed & feature LED lighting throughout Interior Finishes White shaker maple cabinets Engineered stone counter tops Engineered Cherry floors Steam shower Custom millwork Interior stair railing - newel posts & custom cast iron balusters Stainless steel appliances
Split-level houses were a big architectural trend to create larger living spaces and ad areas of natural light without increasing the footprint of the house. This did create some unique challenges for this particular Shaughnessy renovation when upgrading all of the mechanical and electrical elements. With a great design and inventive construction strategy a clean modern renovation was created. This 3700 square foot completed in 2011 boasts custom oak millwork throughout, temperature controlled wine room, user friendly lighting control system and a hot tub area.
Quadra Street
A great example of a complete transformation! This West Point Grey house was on an odd pie shaped corner lot that utilized a great view but unfortunately did not conform with new code requirements and city property line set backs. To keep the beauty and view of the lot, a complete renovation was the only option. Everything in this house was redone including all major structural elements to create an open floor plan, all mechanical & electrical, services, insulation and all interior and exterior finishes.
Eagleridge Addition
Located in the serene Eagle Harbor area of West Vancouver this 3600 square foot addition off the back of the existing house became the perfect setting for an in-law suite. The shed dormer roofline and vaulted ceilings allows as much natural light as possible and create an open concept floor plan.
Best Builders was given a budget, strong design and completion date to bring this project within and were able to deliver a turnkey product on time and under budget. The clients left town for the entirety of construction and came back to a stunning, 2800 square foot condo renovation nestled in the heart of Downtown Vancouver in the prominent Coal Harbour area. Since this project was completed in 2009 custom condo renovations has been a great niche for Best Builders.
West 12th Renovation
This West Point Grey project was truly a complete renovation. The clients were faced with a tough decision to build a new home or completely renovate the home for their growing family. The existing home would not conform to new building zoning if rebuilt to the same size and the family would have to lose 500 square feet of living space. So they decided to renovate and make the home as new as possible. Best Builders team lifted the house on platforms, removed the foundations, excavated for a full sized basement, built new foundations and set the house back down. The rest of the house was completely gutted and refinished to create a luxurious family home that fit all of the clients needs.
York Street
This is a multi-unit Kitsilano renovation starting as a 4-unit house. Best Builders removed the roof added another storey and create a fifth unit that encompassed the entire top floor to make a 4800 square foot house. The exterior was completely re-done keeping the design within the heritage of the area. Seismic and structural upgrades were done throughout to bring up to new engineering standards.
Arthur Drive
Maintaining the character of certain heritage residences is not only something that Best Builders believes in but can also fall into city regulations. This heritage restoration that we completed fall of 2009 in Ladner, BC is listed under the Heritage 'B' status. The exterior had to maintain the look and style of when this house was originally built in the 1920's, while the inside had more flexibility; the design was kept to be seamless with the outside. Best Builders installed all of the creature comforts of a modern home with new commercial grade appliances, cabinetry, flooring, electrical & mechanical upgrades, feature millwork and a custom made hot tub in the back yard.

I had been using the Firm Hold for a while but was not satisfied, as it seemed too firm and made me itch. I discovered the lighter hold and I am very pleased with what it does for my hair. It makes smaller curls than I naturally have, and I need to use it with a moisturizer, but it has a nice gentle hold that feels very natural.
I don't spend much on hair products since I have curly hair that dries naturally. I make an exception for devacurl. It smells wonderful and makes my curls soft while providing definition.
This is the perfect thing for my curls and the only thing I've received in my BB that I knew I HAD to have the first time I tried it. It gives my curls great shape without my hair being crispy at all! Love it and recommend it to all of my curly-haired friends :)
My daughter loved this product and could not wait for me to get her more after she used the sample. She really wants to try the other products the offer, so I cannot wait to see how they work.
I love Deva Curl. I sue this gel every day. This and the One Condition are the perfect combo for making my curls look their best. My hairdresser introduced me to Deva products and I've never turned back,
I got this in my box with the poo and conditioner. I was slow to try it but really glad I did! I have pretty wavy hair and usually end up putting it in a pony tail when I air dry, but when I used this product I had great beachy looking waves. No effort! I now have the full line. thrilled!
This is a versatile and all around good gel for curly girls. It has a good hold and makes my hair look great - the next day it can even be 'reactivated' by just spraying my hair with a bit of water. I need a restock on it!
I have wavy hair, so maybe this is better for real curls, but even the tiniest bit would make my hair feel dirty so fast. I usually don't like to wash my hair everyday but using this made me want to wash my hair by the end of the day!! It was just too heavy for my hair. It isn't as light as it claims.
Honestly, this is not all it is cracked up to be. I like DevaCurl for the most part but I hate the smell. It smells like a household cleaner to me :(
I wanted to really like it
This is the first time I have used this product! I love it! I have not had any luck finding a good product for my curly hair. Everything I normally use tends to make my hair crunchy. This product left me hair feeling soft all day!

Reschke one-ups Rizzo in Hinsdale South's two shutouts of Morton
Pitching leads Hornets to 2-0 and 6-0 victories over Mustangs
BERWYN — A four-hitter is a dominant pitching performance, but a one-hitter is better.
Hinsdale South senior Mike Rizzo pitched a four-hit shutout in Game 1 against Morton on Saturday. Then teammate Matt Reschke followed by taking a perfect game into the sixth inning and finishing with a one-hitter.
The Hornets stayed on the heels of West Suburban Gold leader Downers Grove with 2-0 and 6-0 wins.
