I wrote a quick blog about Russell Brand's podcast with Alister McGrath today… take a look! I empathised a lot with Brand because his position isn't that dissimilar to mine about 10 years ago.

What should Christians think about blasphemy laws?
I wrote this shortly after a weekend news story (from experience, read 'speculative) about Stephen Fry being investigated for blasphemy in Ireland. I'm for free speech, and more importantly, free dialogue with people who have these views. They're often not presented in the mainstream press with the alternative point of view.
Learning from the testimony of Nabeel Qureshi
I learned about Nabeel's cancer diagnosis when I'd just put down his autobiography, 'Seeking Allah, finding Jesus'. If you haven't read it I'd really recommend it. I thought there is a lot to learn from his story, and summarised ten points in this piece. Do pray for him.
The reliability of John's gospel
This article looks at some of the reasons why we can trust John's gospel, despite the many attacks on it as unreliable.
Why we shouldn't put all our faith in science
I did a talk about this subject recently, but some of the points are in this article in Christian Today.
Science is given an authority in our culture that often ignores its limitations – this is potentially dangerous. It's also referred to by people who don't understand it. Particularly in the social sciences, there are many opportunities for bias and misunderstanding. Take a look!
Has the Bible been changed?
This is a pretty common objection, particularly from atheists and Muslims. However there are good reasons to trust the Bible and what it says as an accurate reflection of the original authors. Here's an article on the subject that I wrote for Christian Today.
Bart Ehrman: has the Bible been changed, and does it matter?
Bart often tries to be fair to Christians, for example arguing with Jesus mythicists, as I've discussed elsewhere.
However it's his popular books, such as 'Misquoting Jesus', that bear a lot of responsibility for the widely-held beliefs that our Bibles have been changed so much that they can't be trusted. He's argued that the early Christians decided to make up a lot of things Jesus said, or that the ancient manuscripts are so different that we can't know what the originals said. And a lot of people believe him.
It's true that we don't have the original manuscripts of the Biblical text, and the ancient manuscripts we have do vary somewhat. However these variants are nearly always very small and insignificant changes, such as 'in' and 'into', which don't change the meaning. Modern Bibles such as the New Living Translation tell you all about this in their notes.
But behind the rhetoric Bart is a bit more fair. I've been reading 'Misquoting Truth' by Timothy Paul Jones, which summarises some of these points. For example, he says this:
"It is probably safe to say that the copying of early Christian texts was by and large a 'conservative' process. The scribes … were intent on 'conserving' the textual tradition they were passing on. Their ultimate concern was not to modify the tradition, but to preserve it for themselves and for those who would follow them. Most scribes, no doubt, tried to do a faithful job in making sure that the text they reproduced was the same text they inherited."
In fact because of the technique of textual criticism, the fact that there are multiple later manuscripts with small errors in them actually gives us more confidence in what the original text said, because the changes act as clues to trace the original. Bart acknowledges this:
If there were only one manuscript of a work, there would be no textual variants. Once a second manuscript is located, however, it will differ from the first in a number of places. This is not a bad thing, however, as a number of these variant readings will show where the first manuscript has preserved an error. Add a third manuscript, and you will find additional variant readings, but also additional places, as a result, where the original text is preserved (i.e., where the first two manuscripts agree in an error). And so it goes—the more manuscripts one discovers, the more the variant readings; but also the more the likelihood that somewhere among those variant readings one will be able to uncover the original text. Therefore, the thirty thousand variants uncovered by [John] Mill do not detract from the integrity of the New Testament; they simply provide the data that scholars need to work on to establish the text, a text that is more amply documented than any other from the ancient world.

The current occupant of the Oval Office seems, with each passing week, to come up with a new way to display scorn toward women. This past week alone, President Trump continued to defend staff members and allies against allegations of domestic abuse and sexual assault — even as he has been accused of similar charges — and proposed a budget that would gut programs that support women and women's health.
How, then, should we mark this Presidents' Day?
We should celebrate by reclaiming the history of women in presidential politics and by carving out a space for women in our commemorative history — which tilts decidedly toward remembering the achievements of men. Not only have female presidential candidates made vital contributions to our democracy, but there is a link between the historical figures we commemorate and the leaders we elect. Including women in the history of Presidents' Day would revamp our image of what a president looks like.
But first, what exactly do we commemorate on Presidents' Day?
Presidents' Day originated in a celebration of George Washington's birthday, and the official name of the federal holiday remains "Washington's Birthday." As early as 1784, Americans gathered to celebrate Washington's birth on Feb. 22 and reflect on his legacy. In 1879, Congress added Feb. 22 to the list of four approved bank holiday — New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Over time, having random days off in the middle of the week turned out to be disruptive to both business and government. So in 1968, Congress enacted the Uniform Monday Holiday Law. This legislation moved several roving holidays — Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day and Veterans Day — to a set Monday.
Moving Washington's Birthday to a date that would never fall on Washington's actual birthday provoked Rep. Dan Heflin Kuykendall of Tennessee to warn, "If we do this, 10 years from now our schoolchildren will not know or care when George Washington was born."
But Rep. Robert McClory of Illinois saw a benefit to creating a three-day weekend: providing "more opportunities for family togetherness and more opportunities for people to visit the great historic sites of our Nation."
And so, given that Presidents' Day was created to celebrate the history of the presidency and visit historical sites, today we should broaden our understanding of the presidency and commemorate the many women who have run for president — 14 or more, depending on how one defines "run."
We can begin with Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to do so. Having made a fortune as the nation's first female stockbroker, Woodhull and her sister, Tennessee Claflin, bankrolled a reform newspaper called Woodhull and Claflin's Weekly. In 1870, Woodhull began using the paper to promote her candidacy for president in 1872 (even though, at 33, she was too young to be elected). She had recently become the first woman to testify before a congressional committee, and she hoped her campaign would bring attention to her arguments for women's political equality.
In 1872, she accepted the nomination of the Equal Rights Party and named the abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass as her running mate. (He never responded to her invitation.)
But Woodhull's reputation was undone by her bold critiques of sexual double standards. When she was 15, her parents married her to an alcoholic con man nearly twice her age. She divorced him in 1864, and this experience gave her an unorthodox perspective on marriage. When newspapers attacked Woodhull for supporting "free love," she used her own paper to expose the affair that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, the "most famous man in America," had been having with one of his parishioners. Simply writing about the affair, however, violated the Comstock laws, which prohibited the printing or mailing of anything "obscene." Woodhull was arrested, and she spent election night in the Ludlow Street Jail in New York.
Sen. Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, the first woman elected to both the House and the Senate, picked up Woodhull's torch in 1964 when she became the first woman to enter a major party's presidential primary. Smith campaigned in New Hampshire and in Illinois, where she won nearly 30 percent of the Republican primary votes and came in second to Barry Goldwater, the eventual nominee.
Beyond her presidential campaign (for which she took no contributions and missed no Senate votes), Smith is best remembered for a 1950 floor speech condemning the rabid anticommunism of the McCarthy era. In her "Declaration of Conscience," she implored her colleagues on both sides of the aisle to stop thinking in terms of partisan victories and instead focus on the good of the nation.
Less than a decade later, in 1972, New Yorker Shirley Chisholm, the first African American woman elected to Congress, became the first African American — male or female — to seek a major party nomination for president. "Unbought and unbossed," Chisholm entered the Democratic primaries as the candidate of outsiders, women, African Americans and young people recently enfranchised by the 26th Amendment. As she explained in her 1972 announcement speech, "I am the candidate of the people of America. And my presence before you now symbolizes a new era in American political history. … We are all God's children and a bit of each of us is as precious as the will of the most powerful general or corporate millionaire."
Chisholm also challenged the policy allowing only front-runners to participate in televised debates and won the right to appear on TV — a rule change that has benefited many outsider candidates.
Presidents' Day is inherently political, and what it commemorates has changed over time. In generations past, Americans gathered to recite speeches about George Washington, his bravery in battle and his contributions to democracy. These celebrations were not really about Washington, however. What they did was provide an occasion for citizens to imagine the sort of nation in which they wanted to live.
And so, today we should remember the legacies of women in presidential history: Woodhull standing up to sexual double standards; Smith refusing campaign contributions and promoting bipartisanship; Chisholm campaigning on behalf of citizens, not those represented by lobbyists.
We also need to honor these female path-breakers in our commemorative landscape.
Those in Ohio can pay homage to Woodhull by visiting a plaque outside the public library in her birthplace of Homer, or witness a handmade wooden statue of Woodhull mark the passage of each hour in a clock at the Robbins-Hunter Museum in Granville. New Yorkers have the opportunity to honor Chisholm by visiting Chisholm Circle at Brower Park, and Floridians can see a historic marker to Chisholm at the Jackie Robinson Ballpark and Museum in Daytona Beach. New Englanders can travel to Skowhegan, Maine, to visit the Margaret Chase Smith Library and Museum.
And we should all support efforts to replace one of Maine's two statues in the U.S. Capitol with one of Smith, as well as Rep. Yvette D. Clarke's proposal to erect a statue of Chisholm there.
By celebrating the contributions of women such as Woodhull, Chisholm and Smith and working to honor them in our national memorial landscape, we infuse Presidents' Day with a new approach to commemorative history, one that includes the experiences and voices of women and one that just might lead to a new chapter in the presidency itself.

On our way to the ski hill, my friend's children decided to "find me a man" by the end of the day. The kids did their best to let it be known I was unmarried and to introduce me to anyone who was skiing alone and therefore, in their minds, single.
To my great relief they finally got bored with their mission and charged off on their own. I then made my way to the chair lift. As I moved near the front of the line, a gentleman close to my age said "Excuse me, but are you single?"
Groaning inwardly, I said, "Yes, but despite what you may have heard, I'm really not looking to get married."
He looked at me oddly. "All I want is someone to share the chair lift with."

The early morning sun on Tamil New Year i.e. April 14 (Puthandu Vazthukal) first falls directly onto the Lingam in this Shrine – this phenomenon can only be viewed on this day. Traditionally each year on this date, large crowds gather at this Temple to be first to greet the rays of Surya and seek divine blessings for the coming new year.

Wall Street had an up day on soaring confidence in long-term futures outlooks for commodities such as Republican senators and a small index-traded fund that includes options on a handful of Senate Democrats.
Specifically, half a dozen anonymous Wall Street lobbyists said that they are already hard at work pushing Congress to roll back the Volcker Rule–which forces banks to gamble with their own money instead of yours, because otherwise when they lose your money, their losses are insured by also your money.
Wall Street's K Street lobbyists are so confident they can put money in the pockets of Senate Democrats without being opposed by the people whose money that is, too, that they literally fucking revealed their shopping list to Reuters, a journalism company whose business model depends on distributing exactly that kind of information to millions of people.
Here are the friends of Main Street that Wall Street's K Street streetwalkers are openly telling us they are eyeing for their support to ditch the Volcker Rule:
- Angus King (I-ME)
- Joe Donnelly (D-IN)
- Jon Tester (D-MT)
- Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND)
- Joe Manchin (D-WV)
Wall Street told The Fucking News that if giving a global wire service the names of senators it hasn't even started purchasing yet doesn't succeed in getting the attention of its once and future victim taxpayers, it will consider other methods, such as opening a pizzeria to host its own Satanic child-sex ring.

We hiked through some burn zones, past Three Fingered Jack, and down into the town of Sisters.
Mount Jefferson
On our way out of Olallie Lake we saw our first elk who seemed to know it was hunting season. We walked passed Mount Jefferson and camped on a ridge with a great view of the other side of Mount Jefferson.
Olallie Lake
We camped at Olallie Lake with great views of Mount Jefferson.
South of Mount Hood
More fall colors and walking through dense forest. We camped at a nice (closed) Forest Service campground. We passed a 100 mile trail run.
South of Mount Hood
Our second day out of Timberline. We were able to see Mount Hood and had nice fall colors most of the day.
Timberline Lodge
Heading into Timberline Lodge today to collect our resupply. The weather waited to turn rainy and cold until we packed up our tent in the morning. We passed a couple of washed out river valleys and some pretty waterfalls. We are happy to be drying out and warming up in Timberline before we head out into the rain this evening. Next stop – Sisters!
North of Mount Hood
Mostly good weather our second day out of Cascade Locks. The hiking was mostly through a forested river valley. Once we climbed out of the valley, we should have been able to see Mount Hood but the clouds were a bit too low for a clear view.
Tunnel Falls
First day out of Cascade Locks heading south. We saw some very large salmon in a shallow river. We also passed a few waterfalls including Tunnel Falls. It is called Tunnel Falls because you walk behind the falls through a tunnel to get to the other side.
Cascade Locks, OR
Pictures from Cascade Locks from our other phone.
Travel Back to OR/WA Border
We walked to Manning park, BC where we caught a 2 am Greyhound to Vancouver, BC where we got a room for the night. The next day we saw lots of locals (see pictures) and caught a bus to Seattle where we connected to a train to Vancouver, WA where we got a cab to a bus to walk to Cascade locks, OR… Dinner at Thunder Island brewery was delicious. We will be hiking south towards Crater Lake tomorrow.

Do you love sausage? If that's the case, then you most likely know a lot about it and excited when you're sharing it with your loved ones. You would possibly be familiar with a different variation of sausages available at shops. You would possibly have experimented with alternative ways of preparing sausages, and you've reached such stage after a good number of trial and error experimentation. After all this trial by fire you may or may not have an especially favorite type.
But if you think you've reached nirvana, then you are dead wrong my friend. Good news for you is that you may have just been sampling only one kind of "sausage family" after all.
Every country holds one or more distinctive sausage tradition and puts their twist on the classic meat. Even from a single country, there's enormous diversity and slightly different variations of sausage. You think you know them all but prepare to be surprised.
- France – Andouille
Originating from Andouillette, this variation was and is highly coarse-grained and noticeably pungent. The traditional version is still popular in France and rarely seen outside. One variation of this was imported into North America by French immigrants who settled in Canada. This eventually reached Louisiana. In the more southern part of America, it became Cajun cooking. Southern Andouille has a much different taste than traditional Andouillette. In the most typical of cases, it is smoked, spiced, made from ground pork, onion. But it stands out most because of its smoky flavor.
- Germany – Bratwurst
You've heard this, but no like this. Bratwurst is known for merely a synonym for sausage whereas it is a lot more than that. The name itself has hailed from Old German Phrase that is the sum of "Brat" meaning finely chopped meat and "wurst" just means plain old sausages. It's been told that actual motivation behind Bratwurst was to use the unused part of pork and for this reason, Bratwurst became popular in then Germany. To use whole pork, many variations of this was introduced in Germany alone. Today Bratwurst is popular around the world there's more than one way of going about it. Pork would be your prime ingredients, but veal or beef works just as fine coupled with seasoning and spices such as pepper, nutmeg, and sage.
- Spain – Chorizo
Not to be confused with the Mexican variation. They're quite different. The timeframe began when the Spanish were exploring America. Pork, again, the base meat of chorizo. One beautiful addition was paprika – the vital ingredient. A combination of chili peppers found only in the Americas make paprika. Garlic, Herbs and White wine are added. It is not mandatory to cook chorizo but not unheard of either.
- Italy – Italian Sausage
One of the most popular versions of sausages is the Italian edition. This type of food is called Salsiccia in Italy and is made of meats that have been seasoned heavily with chili and other hot ingredients. Then it is allowed to soak and change the flavor of the meets overnight, and Italian sausage is born.
The Italian sausage is used in America as "centerpiece" of meat-based meals. The common version in America is pork sausage with fennel and as a base seasoning anise mixture is used.

Hi Becca!
I was raised in a house full of dogs! My dad was a labrador retriever dog trainer. The first thing I did when I moved out was I got myself an orange and white kitten. I never realised until then that I was a cat person!
Aren't they comical and fun? I keep saying I'm going to write a children's book based on my black cat. He is so funny and the antics he does daily!!
Enjoy your weekend!

Peaceful PylonsSuperb location for a shoot on Port Philip Bay, these pylons a quite a site.
Colourful reflections
Headed out last night as a small window of nice twilight presented itself after a heavy shower of rain.
I will be posting more on here but also on facebook which has a few more images so head over and have a look. Please like the page, thanks heaps!
Head over to the website and click on the facebook link. http://www.abscenes.com
Golden contours
Driving around some of the back country dirt roads of southern South Australia I noticed these paddocks and came back later that day as the sun was setting. I do love an old fence post as well and these had heaps of character.
Up early shooting with the crowds that flock to the 12 Apostles this time of year. Thought I'd be the only one there. Anyway, was just about to leave before I noticed the sun lighting up the wave spray and then I noticed the lone photographer on the beach and his silouette giving scale to the cliffs.
Golden Mass
Driving along a fairly remote area of S.A (what isn't) I decided to turn left down a dirt road to try and take advantage of some nice summer clouds. After a couple of kilometres and cresting a hill this little scene appeared to my delight. No town for miles and only a residence every few km's but this old church still sits proudly amidst the dry paddocks.
Mt Oakleigh sunrise
I've just completed my second trip on the Overland Track in Tassie with the first one being 20 years ago as a teenager. The weather last time was bad, didn't see Cradle Mountain as I walked past, nor Tassie's highest peak Mt Ossa. The weather this time was worse with constant sleet and then snow and didn't see either mountain again, however the sky cleared one morning for 10 minutes before snowing again. Whilst the track is a lot easier than 20 years ago with some boardwalks it is still very much a challenge and the mountain atmosphere is a powerful force not too be underestimated, even in summer. Didn't get many images but after fresh snow this place is just pure magic.
Forest Giants
Tried for a couple of mornings to capture a scene that I've had my eye on for a while. The forest is lush at the moment with a few years of decent and consistant rains. A beautiful scene as the sun appeared over the horizon hitting the forest behind. Only problem, leeches. After every shot the little bastards had to be flicked off the boots and socks were tucked into the strides….luckily no fashion police to be seen.

|So….my son, Hayes, is wild about everything Titanic,
so…..I decided to make his cake for his 8th birthday this past weekend. Here's a few shots of the process:I baked a basic vanilla cake (from the box) with white buttercream icing. After it totally cooled, I began icing it with room temperature icing. The key is to ice it with a very thin layer first, then let the icing set in the fridge between icing rounds. This prevents crumbs from spreading in the icing. A very helpful hint I found online!
|A first for me but very exciting!
|Here's the icing completed with smooth outer sides & a rough top surface to simulate 'waves'…;-)
I forgot to mention placing wax paper under the edges for a smooth, clean, icing free presentation board under the cake, to be removed later….
|The next step was to do a few costs of blue food color spray mist on just the top to create the 'chilky, rough ocean'. Note my overspray at the top left corner, hence my gratitude for the presence of wax paper!
|I ordered a Titanic desk set' online from Amazon that was originally going to one of his gifts. When it showed up & was much smaller than I had thought, I just made it the cake topper! I placed the iceberg & sinking Titanic ship firmly INTO the cake so they would stay secure. Teeny tiny lifeboats to follow….
|I removed the wax paper from the edges & finished them with white icing from a can with a decorative tip. I purchased fondant & cutouts for the lettering from Michaels but didn't have time to go that fancy, so….I opted for cut out sugar letters & numbers instead. Much easier but I'm saving the fondant for sure. Beware that the sugar letters pick up the icing coloring very easily, so placement can be precarious. Anyhoo, I placed the letters & numbers, then the little life boats, placed the cake in a store bought box, and…..voila! So fun AND cool!
|And I had a very happy birthday boy!! If I can do this? YOU can do this!!Have fun, a great week, & thanks for checking in to this week's blog!
I'm Making Hayes' Birthday Cake!

If you haven't already you should be sure to take your son to Pigeon Forge to the Titantic museum. I live in the area my son Bradley is the same age as Hayes….he loved it I though it was pretty cool too.
hey deanna,
i met you in cancun, january 1994. i can't believe that was almost 19 years ago. you were with scott somebody. we all spent the week together. i was with my parents so y'all made my vacation, and then some.
i've got your cd's and have a wonderful time and terrific memories listening to them.
Mark Watland
WOW! Beautiful, talented and an expert cake baker. I just dropped in to see what you're up to. I saw you in 2001 at the Temple Theater in Tacoma, Washington and I'll NEVER forget it. You were incredible, Deanna. Hope to see you on the road again someday. Happy belated birthday to Hayes and hope you both had a great day.

You bundle up; it's cold outside. The scarf keeps the drafts out of that ill-fitting collar; the gloves come ever-so-close to covering your wrist, but when you stretch out to reach the bars an annoying half-inch gap forms and exposes bare skin to the cold, but you're used to it.
You throw a leg over the bike, and with your left glove on, you use your right hand to fire up the taillight. Flasher mode works best.
Rolling away from the parking lot lights, you join the bike path; the moon is almost full, and it casts a base glow on the path before you, but even the leafless trees block enough of it to warrant the headlamp now. You switch on the light and the path ahead reveals itself to you. It's as if your bike has a jousting sword, poking ahead as you ride. Your world funnels down to the patch of bike path currently bathed in the warm glow of your light.
Joining the Boulder Creek Path, you pick up a tailwind; the wind noise disappears, and all you hear is the thrum of your knobby tires on the pavement. Picking up speed, you're all alone in the dark. You turn on the other headlamp, peering deeper into the darkness.
Another bike approaches from the other direction, flicking its light at you. Moments later, he is gone, a silent passing in the night. You wonder who it was, what he was riding.
The path curves and undulates; at times you almost follow some light-colored grass right off the path. This is fun.
You enter a stretch of path that is illuminated by nearby streetlights. Your world opens up, your peripheral vision has something to do once again, and then just as quickly, you leave this zone of light; darkness slowly flows back around you leaving only the little puddle of light from your headlamps.
Over the bridge at Scott Carpenter Park, your wheels rattle the wood boards that make up the roadway, making noise in the night.
At the Confluence, you peel off to the right onto Skunk Creek Path, ducking to clear the low branches of that tree at the apex that you know are there but can't see. You hear them go by. Now you're on familiar ground, and go even faster. You look at the mountains, bathed in moonlight, and smile.
Rolling through your neighborhood, you switch off your headlamps and pedal through the blackness, savoring every pedal revolution of those last few hundred yards.

Management and storage challenges presented by big data sets
In this Q&A, author Krish Krishnan shares his thoughts on the challenges of working with big data and the ways it has changed our approach to data. Read Now
Editor's note
Storing hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes of data is no longer uncommon for organizations throughout a vast array of industries, but there's a big difference between big data sets composed of stagnant archived files and big data containing business-critical streaming media files. These are commonly referred to as big data at rest, and big data in motion.
When determining what type of storage should house a big data set, it's important to take into account how files will be used. While object storage and scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) are two of the most popular storage options for big data environments, media and entertainment companies that rely on data in motion shouldn't overlook including higher-performance storage, such as solid-state drives (SSDs).
SearchStorage constructed this guide to help storage pros craft an architecture to house big data sets containing large streaming files. From the links provided throughout this guide, learn about the storage challenges you might encounter with big data and how to work around them, as well as the best way to perform analytics. You'll be well on your way to building the best architecture for your big data in motion.
1Exploring big data storage options
Obvious storage choices for many big data platforms include scale-out NAS, for the amount of capacity it has, and object storage, which can help with the unstructured nature of big data sets. But when streaming files, it can also be a good idea to look at high-performance storage, such as SSDs. The stories and podcasts below include examples of what a storage system should provide for big data, and when specific types of storage work the best in big data environments.

Jack Knox: Let's talk turkey about veggies
Oct 07 2012
Members of PETA, dressed as turkeys, demonstrate on Douglas street at Fort street.Photograph by: Lyle Stafford , Times Colonist
The PETA people were doling out free food Friday.
Two of them stood at Douglas and Fort in full-sized turkey costumes, giving away boxes of tofu poultry substitute. "Gobble veggies, not turkeys," read one of their signs. Nobody does publicity stunts like the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
A pair of middle-aged women eyed the animal activists warily.
"What are they doing?" asked the first.
"Handing out turkey," replied the second. "Wait, no, it's Tofurky. Why don't you get some?"
"Um, no," said the first. Which illustrates things nicely. It took PETA 15 minutes to give away 30 Tofurky roasts. Had it been sausage samples in Costco, they would have been gone in 15 seconds.
We know there's at least an element of truth to PETA's contention that the animals we eat don't lead the best of lives. We also know they taste awesome with gravy. Heck, we'd chow down on ebola-ridden whooping crane if it were fried in bacon fat.
That takes us to the cholesterol-clogged heart of the matter: How does PETA expect us to care about the turkeys when we don't care about ourselves?
"Most turkeys slated to be killed for food are crammed into windowless warehouses, where disease, smothering and heart attacks are common," read the organization's Thanksgiving press release.
Sounds like your typical Victoria office job.
"Turkeys," the release continued, "are drugged and bred to grow so large so quickly that their legs are often unable to withstand the birds' weight."
And that sounds like the typical Canadian schoolchild.
Last month, Statistics Canada reported that one-third of Canadian kids between the ages of five and 17 are overweight or obese. While the stats are no longer new (they're unchanged from recent years), they remain disturbing. We're still told this could be the first generation of kids to be outlived by their parents.
These are the same parents who wouldn't dream of letting Junior waddle three whole blocks to school lest he be snatched by some imaginary bogeyman, yet think nothing of poisoning the little beggar with pre-packaged heart disease and sugary drinks that come in containers more suited to college drinking contests.
Not that mum and dad treat themselves any better. More than half of Canada's adults have too much junk in the trunk. Last year, provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall released a report showing that rotten lifestyle choices are costing B.C. taxpayers up to $2 billion a year in extra healthcare costs.
Again, this is not new. Canadians eat in the same way they drink and smoke, not ignorant of the consequences, but wilfully blind to them.
Why? In part, says Lori Smart, a registered dieti-tian with HealthLink B.C., because of the environment in which we eat. Children are bombarded with marketing by purveyors of unhealthy food. It would be great to see the same effort put into getting them to eat fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat. (Note that last year, U.S. lawmakers caved to pressure from the frozen food lobby, and voted to classify pizza and french fries as vegetables, thereby qualifying them for inclusion on federally subsidized school lunch menus.)
But here's the ugly truth: We also eat badly because it tastes good. Government can empty school junk food machines, ban trans fats or, in the case of New York City, outlaw the sale of giant containers of pop, but no matter how often Big Mother urges us to eat quinoa, or compost, or whatever, it will never make us drool like bacon.
In 2001, after I wrote a column making fun of PETA's attempts to wean Canadians off the traditional Thanksgiving bird, the organization sent me a free Tofurky, dared me to test-drive it, which I did (keeping a Big Mac at hand in case of allergic reaction). In fairness, it was better than expected - but you could also say that of a prostate exam. It wasn't turkey.
Perhaps, this being Thanksgiving, we should just be grateful that we have this problem. The wealthier the country, the fatter its people. (Maclean's magazine this week reported on the obesity crisis in the Middle East's oil states, which now have five of the world's Top 10 countries for diabetes prevalence.)
But living in a land of plenty doesn't mean we should eat it all at once.

I'm Lily and am a Social Media and Marketing intern at Art in Tanzania!
I accompanied one of my fellow interns, Michiel – a volunteer from Holland, to the Glory of Africa Orphanage located about 30 minutes from the Dar es Salaam compound. As part of his project, Michiel is teaching English to children of various ages ranging from 4 to 14 years old and I was able to go along to document what happens on a typical day.
First things first, let me give you a bit of an insight into what the Glory of Africa Orphanage is all about. Founded in 2012, Glory of Africa currently houses 8 children with many more in the neighbourhood coming every day for education and food which is made available through donations. Art in Tanzania's interns and volunteers have been working with Glory of Africa since 2013 by creating different projects as a means of support. 'The Glory Water Pipeline' is an example of a clean water and sanitation project that was created in 2013 whereby volunteers raised money and donated a water tank to the orphanage. There is a classroom within the compound where you can find a blackboard, chalk, rows of desks and a cupboard filled with pencils and paper. All this is to ensure that the children have equipment for the lessons that take place and to provide a classroom environment.
Michiel usually visits the orphanage in the afternoon around 4pm after the children have finished their daily school routines, therefore lessons are a sort of after school activity for the children typically lasting between one and two hours. In previous weeks, the children have been learning the basics of English with one particular lesson focusing on various animals and the translation of these animals from Kiswahili to English. By the end of the lesson the children were able to successfully communicate in English what their favourite animal is and why! I went along with Michiel on his 4th visit to the orphanage. The lesson started off with a recap of the previous days teachings, which consisted of verbs, and then moved on to focus on different grammatical terms. This lesson had particular focus on nouns and identifying the nouns within in a sentence. Different sentences were written in English on the blackboard and the children were asked to come up to the front and underline the noun in each sentence, all correctly identifying the noun. From starting with simple English words to teaching various grammatical terms, their knowledge and understanding of English is coming along swimmingly as Michiel moves on to teaching more advanced topics aiming to introduce Human Rights perhaps to some of the older children.
With everything learned and the lesson over, it was time for some games! Football seems to be a loved sport in Tanzania, and the orphanage was no different…
Two footballs were given to the children and, joined my Michiel, they rushed out the door to have a kick about outside.The orphanage has a big open space where the children can play and run about between and after lessons. Everyone got involved in the game and the children looked extremely happy and full of energy; it was a great chance for them to get out and be active after learning. We ended up staying for around an hour and a half after the lesson playing and talking to the children which was a great way to get to know more about them outside of the classroom!
Taking the opportunity to volunteer by teaching English is a fantastic opportunity and what better way than to volunteer with Art in Tanzania and support local organisations such as the Glory of Africa Orphanage. With their desire to learn, teaching and getting to know these children seems so rewarding; being able to play games with them is a bonus too!

Short breaks at Grace Little Centre
One of the most important ways to help families with profoundly disabled young people is to provide short breaks away from the family home for the young person.
Grace Little Centre
Crindledyke Road
The Grace Little Centre provides short breaks for children and young people with learning disabilities between the ages of 8 and 18 and is registered by ofsted.
One of the most important ways to help families with disabled young people is to provide short breaks away from the family home for the young person. The break allows parents to recharge batteries and carry on the often difficult and exhausting role of caring. The break also gives siblings a chance to have attention and time for themselves while the young person is in a safe supported environment with thier friends. The centre and staff team provides a safe and secure environment for young people with disabilities to socialise and relax with their peers, try new activities and increase their independence.
The centre is fully accessible and has moving and handing equipment suitable for the needs of the most profoundly disabled young people. There are 4 en-suite bedrooms for overnight stays and staff accommodation in the residential wing. In addition in the activity wing which is open to non residents there is a sensory room, soft play, IT and arts and crafts area. You can hire different parts of the activity wing privately, prices are available on enquirey.
During 2009 we received a bequest from a member Grace Little of around £200,000 and the trustees decided to use this towards building a local centre. We have had some wonderful support with fundraisng for the centre starting with a gift of land on a 150 year lease by Kingmoor Park Properties. In December 2010 Cumbria county council were able to help us with a grant of £160,000 to build the centre. In March 2011 we revived a fantastic donation worth £175,000 from local couple Anne and Ray MacDowall. We have had many other donations since which have helped us complete the project.
If you would like to know more about private hire or how your child can access the Grace Little Centre please contact us at the office.

Teaching Locations:
My offering as a teacher is to hold sacred space for students to be themselves, freely and completely. In the Western world, the practice of yoga is often misunderstood as a practice of perfection and flexibility. Although asanas (postures) are important in providing the foundation for one to go deeper within themselves, the true yoga lies in the union -- the union of the body and spirit to be in harmony and full acceptance of one another at any given time and space.My goal as a teacher is to guide you beyond the limitations and illusions of the mind through the vehicle of the ancient practice of Kundalini Yoga. Learn to see beyond the two physical eyes. Become so empty that the earth and cosmic energy can flow freely through your body and being. Open the opportunity to live comfortably in your heart and to walk in the vibration of your highest truth. Come to the true realization that you and creation are one.Sat Nam!

If you cannot keep an appointment, please let reception know as soon as possible, so that it can be offered to someone else.
If you are too ill to come to the surgery or are housebound, you can request a home visit through a receptionist before 10.30am. The doctors will however expect, where possible, the patient to come to the surgery.
They usually do not visit children at home, but are very happy to fit them in their surgeries as emergencies where necessary. The receptionist will ask you questions so that they can pass information to the doctor/nurse who may also telephone you first to discuss your needs. The doctor or nurse will decide if a visit is the best way to help you.
You do not require a doctor's sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.
If you are sick for more than seven days, your employer can ask you to give them some form of medical evidence to support payment of SSP (statutory sick pay).
It is up to your employer to decide whether you are incapable of work. A medical certificate, now called a 'Statement of Fitness for Work' (see below) from your doctor is strong evidence that you are sick and would normally be accepted, unless there is evidence to prove otherwise.
You could also provide evidence from someone who is not a medical practitioner, e.g. a dentist. Your employer will decide whether or not this evidence is acceptable. If your employer has any doubts, they may still ask for a medical certificate from your GP.
The 'fit note' was introduced on 6 April 2010. With your employer's support, the note will help you return to work sooner by providing more information about the effects of your illness or injury.

Using the cardboard boxes in which I bring home my fruit and vegetables (and any other cardboard packaging I find) I construct a new flat box which is about an inch thick, secured with lots of masking tape and sometimes a few staples.
I then cover it with some fabric, usually something like a cotton canvas of medium weight which I have found in an Op shop. These pieces of fabric only cost me a few dollars. Once this is wrapped around the box I staple it on (sometimes making the corners neat is a bit tricky but not impossible).
Next I paint the canvas with very thin acrylic paint (actually a floor sealer) which soaks through the fabric and makes it stick to the cardboard. Then I apply a few coats of a standard acrylic ceiling white. It is quite amazing how much of this the fabric will absorb.
At this stage the canvases start to look like a good base for an artwork, though the white base coat also shows up any joins in the underlying cardboard or lumps where the fabric has not stuck very well. Certainly, some of my canvases are smoother than others but with my recent work I have discovered that once collage and paint is applied these irregularities seem to disappear, or even add to the effect. A final coat of a high quality acrylic varnish protects the painting. The final painting is solid and appealing because of the slight bumps!

Reviewer: V. Dimov, M.D., Allergist/Immunologist
A 3-month AAF presented to the hospital with a persistent rash that started at 2 weeks of age. The rash started on the neck and was described as 'fluid filled blisters that burst and spread to other parts of the body'. Her pediatrician treated her empirically for scabies without improvement.
Associated with her progressive skin lesions, was a low-grade fever of 100-100.4 F. She returned to her PCP who treated her for impetigo but the antibiotic therapy did not resolve her progressive rash, and therefore was she referred to the hospital.
Past medical history (PMH)
GERD. Born at term, 6 lbs 2 oz, vaginal delivery without complications. Tolerating cow milk formula since birth. Immunizations: Received her Hep. B at birth. Her 2 mo. vaccines were deferred due to the rash.
Zantac po, Permethrin topical, Clindamycin po, Altebax topical ointment.
Social history (SH)
Lives with her mother, mat. GM and brother. No sick contacts, no pets. No smoking exposure.
No tobacco or alcohol use.
Family history (FH)
The mother is 20 yo, infected with HPV and has an abnormal pap smear. No other illnesses or STD. The father and paternal GM have SLE. Her brother is a healthy 4-year-old.
Physical examination
Gen: Alert well fed baby, healthy appearing, in no discomfort.
ENT: no scleral icterus, no conjunctival injection. No nasal mucosal edema. Tonsils present, no hypertrophy, no exudates.
Chest: CTA bl, RRR.
Abdomen: Soft, no distension, + BS, no organomegaly. Small reducible periumbilical hernia.
Skin: Bullous 0.5-1 cm lesions in multiple stages of healing involving face trunk and extremities. Ruptured hyperpigmented lesions healing without evidence of superinfection.
What laboratory tests would you order?
CBCD, CMP, Blood cx, HSV titers and VZV titers were all normal.
What happened?
The patient was placed in isolation and started on empiric treatment with Acyclovir for HSV. Her rubtured bullae were treated with topical antibiotics. She was started on antihistamines for her pruritis. Skin biopsy and Tzanck test performed.
What happened next?
Skin biopsy showed cutaneous (bullous) mastocytosis.
Final diagnosis
Cutaneous mastocytosis
Mastocytosis is characterized by an excessive number of apparently normal mast cells in the skin and, occasionally, in other organs. Characteristic skin lesions, called urticaria pigmentosa, are present in most patients, but clinical presentation can vary from a pruritic rash to unexplained collapse and sudden death. These lesions are typically tan to red-brown macules that appear on the trunk and spread symmetrically. Patients with mastocytosis often have a long history of chronic and acute symptoms that were unrecognized as mastocytosis. Skin lesions may or may not accompany systemic mastocytosis. Systemic disease may involve the gastrointestinal tract, the bone marrow or other organs.
Drug therapy is initiated to stabilize mast cell membranes, to reduce the severity of the attacks and to block the action of inflammatory mediators.
Mastocytosis should be suspected and the diagnostic criteria applied in patients without skin lesions if one or more of the following features is present: unexplained ulcer disease ormalabsorption, radiographic or technetium 99 bone scan abnormalities, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, peripheral blood abnormalities, and unexplained flushing or anaphylaxis. Elevations in the levels of plasma or urinary histamine, or histamine metabolites, urine prostaglandin D2 metabolites, plasma thromboxane B2, plasma (total) mast cell tryptase, or IL-6 are not definitive diagnostic findings, but are consistent with the diagnosis of mastocytosis
A principal objective of treatment in all categories of mastocytosis is the control of mast cell mediator-induced signs and symptoms. The mainstay of therapy is histamine H1 and H2 blockers and the avoidance of triggering factors such as minor skin trauma, hot or cold water that can lead to massive systemic histamine release and systemic symptoms.
Most prominent among these are systemic hypotension, gastric hypersecretion, GI cramping, and pruritus.
H1-receptor antagonists such as the classic antihistamine hydroxyzine, or non-sedating antihistamines such as loratadine or fexofenadine, are instituted to reduce pruritus and flushing. If this is insufficient, the addition of an H2 antagonist, such as ranitidine, cimetidine or famotidine, may be beneficial. One approach is to administer a non-sedating antihistamine during the day, and a potent sedating antihistamine at bedtime. Even with these medications, many patients continue to complain of musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and flushing, in part because of the inability of histamine antagonists to block the effects of high levels of histamine and because of the presence of other mast cell mediators. There may thus be some value in adding aleukotriene-modifying agent.
Disodium cromoglycate (cromolyn sodium) inhibits degranulation of mast cells and has some efficacy in mastocytosis, particularly in the relief of GI complaints.
Epinephrine is used to treat episodes of systemic hypotension. Patients should be taught to administer this medication themselves. If subcutaneous epinephrine is inadequate, intensive therapy for systemic hypotension, as for anaphylaxis, should be instituted. Patients with recurrent episodes of hypotension may be given H1 or H2 antihistamines to reduce the severity of attacks. Episodes of profound hypotension may be spontaneous but have also been observed after insect stings and administration of contrast media.

The tourism crisis: No relief for Vietnam as visitor drop continues
The number of international arrivals in Vietnam has fallen for the 13th straight month in June, down 8.2 percent from May, local media quoted the General Statistics Office of Vietnam as saying on Sunday.
Around 3.8 million foreigners visited the country in the first half, a 11.3 percent drop from the same period last year.
Sea travel saw the sharpest decline with arrivals going down 26.5 percent year-on-year.
The downturn hit most of Vietnam's traditional tourism markets, including Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Finland, Germany, Italy and Spain.
One of the reasons was the lack of diverse products and high prices, according to the office, which also blamed the situation on management failings.
Speaking to news website Saigon Times Online, representatives of many tour operators said the situation was "very difficult."
They said they were unsure if the situation will improve in the second half of the year, even though the government has recently issued several positive policies, most notably the visa waver for visitors from Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and Spain, starting from next month.
Ung Phuong Dung, director of Ho Chi Minh City-based Indochina Services Travel Group, for instance, did not think that the picture of European market, which her company is majored in, will become brighter anytime soon.
The euro's depreciation against the US dollar has made Vietnamese tours' prices increase by 15-20 percent for European travelers, she said.
Indochina Services saw a decrease of 20 percent in the number of European customers last year, Dung said, adding her company is now promoting tours among visitors from the visa-waiver countries.

Sunday 18th December 2016
Cathedral Council Meeting
There will be a meeting on Tuesday 20th December. Please pray that all decisions taken are God´s leading. One item being discussed will be the report from the VCF team (Vida Cristiana y Formación – Christian Life and Formation) to share the findings of their 2-year survey of all Anglican groups in the Diocese of Peru.
Thank you! to those who have helped with the Christmas Box project during the week, checking boxes, writing labels, packing boxes into bigger boxes,….. Some of the boxes for the Cuzco area have been sent, and others are ready for sending. Each child also receives an evangelistic colouring booklet "What is Christmas?", and this year a donation of booklets from the Bible Society means that they are also receiving booklets of Bible stories, lessons on character, etc. Please pray for all those who will be receiving their boxes in the near future, that they will receive the box full of goodies with joy, but that even more importantly they will understand that the true gift given at Christmas is that of Jesus. There will be a trip to Abancay to deliver some of these boxes. This will be from 4th to 9th January. Please see Penny Marcés for details.
1.Bazaar: The latest total gain from the Bazaar, held on 19th November, is almost S/.20,000. There are still jars of mincemeat, Christmas and chutney available; please ask Robin Emigh if you would like to buy one.
2. Search for a new Rector: The Selection Committee, which had received 2 applications, decided to extend the deadline for applications until 28th Feb 2017. Louise, the website administrator, has seen that entries to the "search for a new rector" link on the website have increased significantly over the last month. Please continue to pray for our new Rector, and for the process.
Can I help in the Cathedral in any way?
If you would like to help in any way in the Cathedral, as a sidesperson, reader, mending books, singing in the music group, or any way we haven´t even thought of yet, please see Martha Rivera or Penny Marcés. Whatever gifts you have can be used in some way….
Don´t forget…..
On Wednesdays there is a time of Advent Worship and Meditation, from 7.15 to 8.30 in the Rectory. As we prepare for the coming of Jesus, both at Christmas and His second coming, this meeting is an opportunity to reflect on different aspects of our relationship with God.
Please note: There will be NO 8am service or Adult Forum on Christmas Day 25th December. Everyone is warmly invited to the Christmas Family Service at 10am.

October is Domestic Violence Month
Domestic violence remains a huge and largely hidden problem. The purple ribbons you may have seen recently on car bumpers and people's lapels are to remind us that someone is physically, sexually, psychologically or verbally abused by an intimate partner every 15 seconds. It crosses all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines, and it happens in both heterosexual and homosexual partnerships. Although women are more often targeted by men, there are also men who are victimized by their female or male intimate partners and women who are battered and manipulated by their female partners.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, in the United States, 1.3 million women and 830,000 men are assaulted each year by people they believe love them. In a 2005 survey, the Centers for Disease Control found that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men are victims of domestic violence at some point.
It goes on in teen couples as well as in adult relationships. One study found that 1 in 5 high school girls reported being physically or sexually abused by a dating partner. Another study of teen dating behavior found that 3 out of 5 teens say they've had a boyfriend or girlfriend who made them feel bad or embarrassed about themselves.
Victims often don't complain. Their partners may have instilled such fear in them that they don't dare say anything. Or, they have become so inured to the manipulation and violence that they don't recognize they are victims. Sadly, it is often only when someone has become seriously hurt or has an emotional breakdown that friends, family members, or professionals even realize what is going on.
Things are getting better. Since the 1994 passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), there has been increased awareness of the problem. More proactive measures are being taken to identify and help victims. It's now common for medical professionals to ask people if anyone is hurting them as part of a routine physical as well as when someone is injured. School counselors, nurses, and teachers are becoming educated to the signs that a child is being traumatized or hurt and are taking steps to intervene. Mental health counselors are more sensitive to the issue and more sophisticated in encouraging their patients to talk about what they'd rather not talk about.
But we have a long way to go. In this year's proclamation, President Obama noted that
"[… t]he ramifications of domestic violence are staggering. Young women are among the most vulnerable, suffering the highest rates of intimate partner violence. Exposure to domestic violence puts our young men and women in danger of long-term physical, psychological, and emotional harm. Children who experience domestic violence are at a higher risk for failure in school, emotional disorders, and substance abuse, and are more likely to perpetuate the cycle of violence themselves later in life."
Often the abuser doesn't understand that his or her behavior is in fact abusive. Raised in a family where abuse was business as usual, they don't recognize their manipulative or overt efforts to control others as abnormal. Not having been brought up in a loving and secure family, they don't know how to be secure and comfortable in their partner's love.
When things go well, all is well. But when angered or threatened by real or imagined slights, they lose it – just as they watched the adults of the previous generation lose it. Some are then remorseful and apologetic. They mean well. They want to do better than was done to them. But they can't hold onto their good intentions when upset. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to upset them.
The Cycle of Violence
The victims are on the other side of this interaction. Sometimes the buildup of psychological and verbal abuse is subtle and gradual. Over time, the person they love undermines their self-esteem and makes them feel more and more dependent. The victim really doesn't see it coming.
In other cases, the victim comes from a long history of childhood victimization. Like most people, she or he was drawn to the familiar when drawn to a mate. For them, being yelled at, put down, coerced into sex or taken advantage of is just more of the same.
This is what is meant by the "cycle of violence." With somewhere between 3.3 and 10 million children witnessing some form of domestic violence every year, it's understandable that many of those kids learn to accept abuse as normal." The pattern of abuser/victim is thus bumped from generation to generation. Unless someone in the family gets angry enough or desperate enough to call in help, or unless someone outside the family intervenes, the behaviors continue to the detriment of the individuals involved and to society as a whole. Violence in families is linked to high rates of substance abuse and addictions, mental illness, suicides, and sexual acting out as well as criminal behaviors.
The cycle of violence can be stopped.
The cycle of violence can be stopped. Victims can be helped to find the strength to seek and accept protection, advice, and practical help from their local shelters and mental health clinics. Abusers can learn how to appropriately express anger and how to be loving partners by attending programs for partners against violence or therapy. Couples can learn how to be loving and supportive partners and parents through couples counseling and parent education classes. And children of abusive relationships can be healed when their parents get themselves and the children into treatment.
When domestic violence is known in an extended family or in a network of friends, there is no such thing as being an innocent bystander. To know about abuse and do nothing is to enable and support it. Family, friends, and professionals who are concerned about a family can and should help them face the issues and get the help they need.
Anyone can become a member of the purple ribbon campaign to help stop the cycle of family violence. To learn how to increase awareness in your community, contact the international organization by clicking here. Even wearing a purple ribbon or putting one on your car helps stop the silence that surrounds domestic violence and lends support to the millions of people who are grappling with the problem.
Victims who need help and support to stay safe can call the national Resource Center on Domestic Violence at 800-537-2238 or visit their website.
S.A.F.E. concentrates on domestic violence against straight men, gay men, and lesbians.

Let's get one thing straight: Most men don't hate doggy style sex. It's one of the most popular sex positions. This is not an attempt to discredit doggy style. No one is taking it to task. In fact, think of this as a thought exercise. An attempt to take something so good and pure and find even the tiniest flaws.
#1. It's hard on the quads
If you're in the traditional both-partners-on-their-knees position, going at it for any serious length of time can be pretty brutal on your legs, especially if you're not in the best shape. Doggy style is way more physically demanding than say, missionary. So for some people, it's reserved as the coup de grace and not for most of the main event.

The Bible. Many people talk about this best selling book, but what's it all about? More specifically, what's in it for you? This course will introduce you to the Bible—how it came into being, its contents, its main characters and events—in the hope that you will want to study it, get to know its ultimate author, and discover the important message that it has for you personally.
"My name is Lance, and during the past 40 years, I've been incarcerated for 13 years. I was released from jail in 2006. In 2009, I picked up a bunch of new charges (both state & federal). To sum up the situation, if I lose my trial, I will get 40 years because I am a repeat, repeat offender.
But today, by the grace of God, I am a new person! I have been saved, and God has given me peace and contentment that I never experienced before. One day, I was sitting in my cell when I noticed this short book about Jesus. It was an ECS Ministries study course called The Bible—What's In It For You?
In the 10 months since I picked up that book and started reading, the work that God has done in me is unbelievable. I once used to recruit people to commit crimes and now through the grace of God, I run Bible Study groups in the prison. All the lessons we discuss come straight out of the ECS courses and because every topic is backed by Scripture, it's been really easy to turn it into real-life Bible studies. I've never, at any point in my life, felt more free and more alive. I know it is through God's grace that I have been saved by faith in Jesus!"
