Fiction from the Left
(The Badlands)
A Modern Folk Tale from the Left
Episode 6: Report to Tatcho
(Previously in El Malpaís: In Episode 5 Oskar traveled through McCarty's Flow to The Land of OZ in the mid-21st century where he met Rosa de la Frontera and was detained and classified as a Criminal Element for trespassing on OZ property. When he returned from the Land of OZ his exploration of Los Tubos de Tiempo in El Malpaís was complete but his vision quest would be unfinished until he delivered his Report to Tatcho.)
Oskar dashed into Tatcho's camp on the Rio Grande and embraced the old man tightly while Diego trotted around the pair and brushed against their legs.
After the greetings were over Tatcho prepared a feast for the famished vision quester and his compañero. He roasted a fresh rabbit on a spit over an open fire while he baked corn tortillas on a flat rock in the glowing embers. Close at hand was a pot of salsa he had concocted from green chili peppers and onions that grew wild in the river bottom.
The boy and el lobo mexicano sat on the ground as Tatcho cut slices of meat from the sizzling rabbit, placed them on a tortilla, slathered them with salsa, and rolled it all up into a fat burrito. Tatcho offered the first one to Diego but the wolf pointed him towards Oskar.
Oscar took the burrito and wolfed it down in three bites—then asked for a second. He was finishing a third when he realized that el lobo and the old man were watching him eat.
"Sorry," he said, liking his fingers clean. "I was really hungry."
Tatcho and Diego laughed.
When the trio had finished off the tortillas and rabbit (Diego even ate the bones), they settled down around the campfire.
"Tell us about your vision quest, Oskar," Tatcho said.
"El Malpaís was…overwhelming," the boy said haltingly. "I think I may have seen too much, Tatcho—some of the visions were horrific. I found out that man will learn to fly and set the sky on fire and he will develop the power to move mountains."
Tatcho leaned close reassuringly.
"Take it easy, Oskar. I am your medicine man—I'm here to help you sort it all out."
The boy nodded and managed to smile.
"Tell me what you saw in Los Tubos de Tiempo."
"Here," Oskar said unfolding his map of El Malpaís and handing it to the old man. "This should help you follow my travels."
Tatcho traced the paths of the four lava tubes on the map.
"Did you explore them in order?"
"I did."
"Then start at the beginning," Tatcho said. "Tell us about El Calderon."
El Calderon
"At the exit of El Calderon I stepped back into the Stone Age," Oskar began. "As I was investigating a recent bison kill I was captured by hunters from the Tribe of Conn and taken to their leader who declared me a slave of the tribe. A slave, Tatcho!"
"Men have enslaved other men since time immemorial," Tatcho said. "We still see it in our times."
"But It's not right," Oskar shook his head, "to treat a person as property."
The old man nodded approvingly.
"And what did you learn in the Stone Age?"
Oskar thought about it for a minute.
"I think the main thing is that I arrived there believing in the myth of the noble savage, but found that there was nothing noble about living in the Stone Age. Life was short and brutal and people were dominated by strong men and manipulated by clever charlatans."
"How did you manage to escape?"
"After I refused to be a slave Conn was about to kill me when Tiwi, the tribal shaman, tricked the chief into turning me over to him. The shaman wanted to exploit my light complexion and fair hair to increase his own power but I refused to go along with his scheme. When he threatened to turn me over to the tribe I told him that I would expose him as a fraud and he let me go.
"And I'll never forget Tiwi's final words to me, Tatcho. He said:
There is no place for you in the Tribe of Conn—or any other tribe."
"He was right," Diego interjected. "I know you, amigo. That was no place for you."
"It's not just me," said Oskar. "No person in their right mind would want to go back to the Stone Age—life was precarious in those days and people lived in perpetual darkness."
Tatcho nodded.
"A most excellent beginning for your vision quest," he said, consulting Oskar's map. "Now tell us about Cerro Hoya."
Cerro Hoya
"Cerro Hoya took me back to Medieval Times," Oskar recounted. "Things had changed a lot since the Stone Age. Humankind had advanced from subsistence hunter-gatherer tribes to well established agricultural communities where wealth came from the land. The trouble there was that all the land had been seized by the warrior kings who ruled over the people by military force with the collusion of the priests.
"And again, as in my journey to the Stone Age, Iarrived as a naive traveler. I had read of noble kings and loyal knights but encountered greedy landlords who exploited peasant farmers who were bound to the land they tilled. And the knights—the knights were nothing more than hired thugs who enforced the status quo."
Oskar shook his head.
Tatcho saw the boy's disappointment.
"You are not diminished when you lose your illusions," the old man said. "You are liberated by the loss. Freedom from false preconceptions assures the success of your vision quest."
The boy squared his shoulders and resumed his narrative:
"In a way, Tatcho, the machinations of the priests were the most disturbing things I saw in Medieval Times. The church had taken religion, peoples' search for consolation in their dismal lives and turned it into an institution of social control to bolster the power and privileges of the rulers.
The old man sensed that something profound was troubling Oskar.
"What is it mi hijo?"
"Oh, Tatcho!" said the boy. "I did a terrible thing on my way back to El Malpaís!"
"Tell me."
"At the threshold of Cerro Hoya I left behind the woman who saved my life."
"I see," said Tatcho, placing a firm hand on Oskar's shoulder. "But you must understand that you could not have brought her back with you."
"Why? I made it back."
"Because what happened in the past—no matter how attached to it we may be—must remain in the past. No one can alter history."
Tatcho let the boy think about that while he traced the meandering flow of Bandera on the map.
"What about Bandera?" he asked when Oskar was ready to go on. "Where did Bandera take you?"
"Bandera transported me into the future. It was there that I saw the things that deranged so many vision questers who went before me."
"We weren't with you," el lobo reminded him. "What did you see?"
"Yes," Tatcho said, "Tell us what you saw."
"Men will master and exploit nature. They will learn to take the very elements of the earth and convert them into all manner of useful objects that people are willing to pay money for."
"Like what?" inquired the wolf.
"Like automobiles—self-propelled vehicles capable of carrying people at high speed over great distances."
"I'd like one of those," Diego quipped. "I'm tired of walking everywhere I go."
"The exercise is good for you," said Tatcho to the wolf and turned back to Oskar. "Tell us more."
"The down side of Factoryland," said the boy, "is that men will pay little attention to the impact of their activities on nature. In the process of development they will cause catastrophic environmental and climate change that will endanger their own future.
"Also on the negative side," he continued, "is that the incredible wealth created by manufacturing will be concentrated in the hands of very few individuals while masses of people will experience misery and dislocation.
"And it gets worse…"
"How can it get worse?" muttered Diego. "Environmental destruction and human suffering—how will it get worse?"
"The most frightening thing about the future," Oskar shook his head, "is that through science and technology man will create weapons of mass destruction so powerful that they can set the air on fire and reduce cities to heaps of rubble. He will use those weapons to end World War II, the most destructive conflict in the history of man in which 70 million people will perish.
"In the future," added the boy, "bombing countries back to Stone Age conditions of existence will become a widespread practice of war."
Tatcho was dumbstruck; Diego lowered his head and rested it on his paws.
"Listen," said Oskar. "It doesn't end there. Ruthless men will use the threat of mass destruction to establish the most powerful empire that the world has ever seen—an empire that will increase global inequality and political instability."
Silence fell over the river camp on the banks of the Rio Grande—each member of this odd familia lost in his own deep thoughts.
Tatcho recovered first. He picked up the map and pointed to the last lava tube.
"You have not yet talked about McCarty's Flow."
McCartys Flow
Oskar took a minute to collect his thoughts and then began:
"McCarty's Flow took me even further into the future. Strangely enough when I completed my passage through the final time tube, I found myself at the foot of Lookout Mountain. When I climbed to the peak I saw a radically altered landscape—the mountains to the north had been moved to make way for the progress of man. The trails that had connected the Indian Nations for centuries had been replaced by a corridor of concrete and steel that led directly to OZ 17, a megalopolis on the West Coast, one of the pillars of the Land of OZ."
"The Land of OZ?" queried Tatcho. "What is this 'Land of OZ'?"
"The Land of Ownership Zones is the ultimate outcome of the empire I first encountered in Factoryland. OZs are fortresses built by the super-wealthy in a world of poverty. The owners of the means of production live in and rule from the security of the Ownership Zones while the mass of the population has been reduced to a state of peonage—they contribute to the wealth of the owners through their labor and the consumption of goods and services controlled by the same people."
"That is a bleak future," said Tatcho shaking his head. He stood up and stretched has ancient limbs. "Let me think about it all."
The old man walked slowly to the edge of the river studying Oskar's map of El Malpaís while Oskar and Diego gazed at each other in silence.
Tatcho Speaks
Darkness had fallen by the time Tatcho returned to his place at the campfire.
"Your vision quest, Oskar," he said, "was a fantastic voyage. You did what I did not have the courage to do when I was young. You traveled from the distant past far into the future and saw things beyond the purview of most people—indeed you have seen things that I have never even imagined"
The old man paused.
"I am humbled by your experience."
"Me, too," said el lobo mexicano. "I wish I could have gone along."
"Quiet, lobo loco!" said Tatcho. "You know that a man has to go on his vision quest alone."
The old man turned back to Oskar.
"Your vision quest offers you a unique opportunity—you can choose when you want to live. It appears that there are three possibilities.
"First, you can try to ignore your vision quest and continue to live here in the present. Diego and I both enjoy your company and value your friendship. We can continue to travel and explore the world together. And I am sure that your family will be glad to see you from time to time."
"I vote for that!" said Diego, obviously delighted.
"It's not your choice, wolf!" said the old man and addressed the boy again:
"The only trouble with choice number one is that although you can ignore your vision quest, you can never forget it. Because of your quest our present has become the past for you. You have seen the future and if you chose to remain in the present you will, in a very real sense, be living in the past."
"I get that," Oskar said. "I have been thinking about that a lot."
"But you will be with us," Diego said.
"And always wondering what might have been," the boy added.
"Choice number two," continued Tatcho, "Is to choose to live in the past. Considering your vision of the future, this choice might be tempting. But remember that the past can never be changed. You've been there and you've seen the conditions of existence. It's your choice but I don't see you turning to the past. Knowing you, it would lead to a life of discontent."
"And choice number three?" asked the boy.
"You can choose to live your life in the future. Standing upright on your own two feet and recognizing your dependence on others you will have an opportunity to shape your own destiny. Considering what the future has to offer it's the scariest choice but it's your only prospect for an authentic life."
Tatcho concluded:
"This, I think, is the meaning of your vision quest."
Oskar stood up, squared his shoulders, and faced the old man.
"I'm going back to the future," he announced.
The three amigos spent their last evening together sharing their experiences during the year they had not seen one another. Oskar told of his trip back east to go to school. He impressed the old man and the wolf with the knowledge he had acquired. Tatcho described the ruins of many abandoned pueblos that he had discovered to the west of the Indian Nations. And Diego recounted the harrowing encounters he had with the migrants from the east who were settling the American Southwest."There's not many of my kind left," he concluded.
That night the three amigos slept together beneath the crystalline sky of New Mexico for the last time.
The next morning Tatcho and Diego accompanied Oskar back through El Malpaís to the entrance of McCarty's Flow. Oskar took his backpack from el lobo mexicano, slung it on his back, and offered his hand to Tatcho.
The old man took the boy's hand, drew him close, and embraced him.
Oskar noticed Diego staring into the lava tube, raring to enter.
"No, Diego," the boy said kneeling in front of the wolf. "You can't go with me."
"But Tatcho told you to recognize your dependence on others."
"I do," said the boy. "I met somebody in the Land of Oz."
The wolf was downcast.
"Not someone like you," Oskar said, scratching el lobo's head. "There will never be anyone like you."
The wolf shook off the boy's hand.
"You know I don't like that."
Oscar laughed and stood up.
"You stay with Tatcho. You two can make tracks in the sand together."
After the boy disappeared into the darkness Tatcho and Diego turned to each other.
"There's a universe of things that we have not yet seen and discussed," the old man said.
He started down the trail back to the Rio Grande. He continued talking as he walked away:
"The abandoned pueblos that I found have never been investigated. You and I…"
El lobo mexicano took a long last look into the darkness of McCarty's Flow and then followed Tatcho.
Their foot prints intermingled in the sand of El Malpaís.

It didn't take the owners of wealth long to see the advantages of these zones. By expanding and consolidating the FTZs they concentrated their wealth and power and at the time of Oskar's visit to the Land of OZ the Ownership Zones controlled most of the world's wealth.

Monday was the first night of the Battle Rounds on Season 13 of The Voice (Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CTV) and that means good news and bad news.
The good news is that we get longer performances from the singers. The bad news is that we have to see more people get their dreams crushed. Also, more awkward fighting from Blake and Adam. We really hoped that part was over. But back to the good part:
Singers: Moriah Formica vs. Shilo Gold
Miley Cyrus looked as far as her living room to find her celebrity adviser, hiring her dad Billy Ray Cyrus. It's a bit of a surprising move considering Cyrus is so intent on making #Herstory. To make things even more surprising, Miley chose "American Woman" for the battle song for her "growlers and rockers" Moriah and Shilo. Miley argues that she wants songs that celebrate women. We argue it's a song by men. But none of that mattered when the two women hit the stage and delivered the best performance of the night. Girl power! Jennifer and Adam chose Moriah, while Blake played Switzerland.
Winner: Moriah Formica
Singers: Brooke Simpson vs. Sophia Bollman
Bless these girls for acting so excited to see Billy Ray Cyrus as their adviser. Let's be real, they were hoping for Katy Perry, but this isn't American Idol. Cyrus again went with another song penned by a man, this time Bob Dylan's "You're A Big Girl Now." We thought that Brooke would be the clear winner, but Sophia held her own. Still, we would have chosen Brooke, whom Blake and Adam also chose.
Winner: Brooke
Singers: Lucas Holliday vs. Megan McNeal
First up with Team Jennifer Hudson, who scored Beyoncé Kelly Rowland as her adviser. Still impressive. She's paired Frasier Lucas Holliday with Meagan McNeal, who switched the swag and properness in their voices for "My Prerogative." Hudson paired them together knowing "They have the potential to turn The Voice into a legit party." Lucas said he didn't want to go back to working at Dollar General. Meagan said she needed to win as much as she needs air to breath. We say we're nervous for both singers.
Winner: Lucas Holliday
Singers: Chris Weaver vs. Kathrina Feigh
Chris and Kathrina performed "Dangerous Woman" by Ariana Grande (pay attention to this song choice, Miley) and Jennifer instructed Chris to Christize the track. What's so interesting about the Battle Rounds is hearing a song by a solo performer turned into a duet and in the case of "Dangerous Woman," it really works as a back and forth. While Kathrina delivered an incredible performance, especially reaching into her lower register, it's difficult to beat the person who is likely going to win The Voice. Thankfully, B Shel Productions came to the rescue with a steal. Our favourite part of this steal was that no one was more excited than Chris.
Winner: Chris (steal for Kathrina by Blake)
Singers: Keisha Renee vs. Noah Mac
Blake Shelton kept it country and brought in Rascall Flatts as his celebrity advisers, who we learned in the intro have sold 23 million records. Yee haw, y'all! Keisha and Noah sang Elvis Presley's version of "So Lonesome I Could Cry" and their performance was so pretty we could cry. What was so difficult about Keisha and Noah's performance was that the singers could not be more different, but are both immensely talented. Why do the Coaches do this to themselves and more importantly, to us? In the end, Blake went with Keisha and Jennifer waited until Noah was literally steps away from leaving the stage before she stole him. J Hud knows that face and that voice are the things preteen dreams and millions of dollars in fan merch are made of.
Winner: Keisha (steal for Noah by Jennifer)
Singers: Adam Pearce vs. Whitney Feinmore
Adam Levine asked Joe Jonas to be his celebrity adviser, a question we assume Levine asked while they were at their weekly meeting of Male Pop Singers with Super High Voices. The pair helped fellow high singer Adam Pearce along with poppy folk artist Whitney Feinmore, who performed Tom Petty (RIP) and Stevie Nicks' "Stop Dragging My Heart Around." Adam went with Adam, and Whitney earned a double button press from Miley and Blake. Not surprisingly, Adam quickly got involved, aka began badmouthing Blake. Dude, you missed out on Whitney. Shush. In the end, Whitney chose Team Miley and is ready to make #Herstory by singing more songs by dudes.
Winner: Adam (steal for Whitney by Miley)

Here is a little bit about him:
When God called Steve Trullinger into the healing ministry in 1995, he was at that time an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Steve already knew that he would be trading his secure, tenured academic position for a faith-walk of adventure, trusting in the Lord's design for the second half of his life. His twenty-five years as an educator and researcher helped prepare him to train healing teams and to understand the synergisms of spiritual gifts in the ministry of healing.
Steve releases encouragement among the sons of God to step into their destiny and he exhorts the Body of Christ to please God by exercising faith in His promises. Steve holds the firm belief that the Father trains his sons through activation of faith and the demonstration of promised miracles that Jesus said would accompany those who believe! There is often a release of powerful healing anointing to launch individuals and even entire congregations into the ministry of healing when Steve ministers the compassion of Jesus to the sick!
In his crusade ministry in Africa, Steve has witnessed miraculous creation of missing body parts and the wholesale healing of entire villages! He has been privileged to commission healing ministries and serve as a "spiritual father" to younger healing revivalists. He helped found The Father's Touch Orphanage in Igoma, Tanzania, and often visits various regions of East Africa to encourage the children left parentless by the AIDS epidemic and to bring the Father's touch to the sick and the lost.

I hope you can make it!Blessings! Ken & Shaunna Thank you for all who have and continue to contribute to Hilltop with donations, time and volunteer work. We can't do it without you!

I've been thinking a lot the past few months about focus. I'm a firm believer that the things we focus on are the things we bring more of into ur lives.
It can be hard to keep our focus positive. I don't know about you, but I have enough negative circling about me that I don't want to give it any more power by focusing on it.
As someone who likes to look at life through the lens of her camera, focus is a word that I can really identify with. When making a picture, focus is key to getting the final image I desire. When I was first learning on my old film camera, I would often be excited so see the developed print of an image only to find that while I had been focused on a particular element in the picture, the autofocus setting on my camera was actually focused on a completely different element causing the final product to be disappointing.
Have the experiences from your past caused you to have an internal autofocus that leads to outcomes in your life that are less than desirable and disappointing? Do you find yourself focusing more on what is missing from your life than the bounty with which you have been blessed? Are you focused more on fear or avoiding uncertainty than you are on creating awesome in your life? Are you focused more on protecting your feelings and playing it "safe" than you are on love and kindness and reaching out to others?
These are all questions that I'm trying to ask myself whenever appropriate circumstances arise. I've been having some fun creating mini vision boards for myself using the analogy of focusing a camera to focus my thought ms and desires. I've done this in a way that looks a bit to me like the focus of a camera and I've made several of gear for different areas of my life. I find it very useful.
Here is one I created to hep me refocus on the good things to come out of my new eating/health lifestyle, especially when things seem difficult and I find myself thinking about how hard it is rather than how much good I get from it.
I have a tendency to get caught up in things that are stressful–like work issues–and I lose my focus on the person I really want to be. Here is one I made as a reminder for me this week to try to do all things with love and to stay focused on what I want and not my circumstance.
What strategies do you employ to keep your focus?

Roasted Red Pepper Kale Stuffed Chicken Breasts
A quick easy healthy meal that your family will love, Roasted Red Pepper & Kale Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Fresh Mozzarella.
Do you ever have those times where you just HAVE to get something done and get so distracted you can't do it?
Usually don't have a problem with this kind of stuff. I am very task oriented and get giddy when I get to make little checkmarks next to my task list.
But today is a whole another story. I have traveled two of the past three weeks and have just been feeling so exhausted lately. I find myself just staring at the computer screen wondering what in the world am I gonna write today! Some days, it just comes to me as easy as eating pumpkin pie but others its like pulling teeth. So.. since today is one of those "pulling teeth" kinda days.. just bear with me, I promise there are good things to come.
Like this Roasted Red Pepper & Kale Stuffed Chicken Breast… see.. told ya there's good stuff to come.
In our family, the protein of choice {at least for me… not so much my husband} is chicken. Which means I am always looking for ways to it change up. Normally I grill or saute my chicken but I was feeling ambitious and had some time to spare so I ended up baking it.
One of my favorite recipes is Creamy Garlic Chicken, but I wanted to mix it up so I made something new!
First step for this Stuffed Chicken Breast was to flatten out the chicken so that I could easily stuff it. Next step was to add in "the filling", in this case the roasted red peppers, kale, and fresh mozzarella.
Roll it up, hold it together with toothpicks and bake away.
The melted cheese combined with the hearty kale and sweet red peppers makes this Stuffed Chicken Breast rock! Its super easy to put together, throw it into the oven, and 40 minutes later is a healthy delicious dinner!
Your welcome! 🙂

[Plugin: Mozilla BrowserID] GET vs. POST and SSL-Certificates
Hi, awesome plugin!
I ran into some trouble with one of my websites, because the get request the plugin generates was to long (browserid_assertion.length was > 2000). I solved this by creating a form element in login.js and submitting it. (http://pastebin.com/p50K55cF).
tiny question:
In Check_assertion() wouldn't it be better to "get_options" only after "if (isset($_REQUEST['browserid_assertion'])"?
Something else I think this would be a lot easier to use for many people if you shipped with https certificats. I wanted to use it in a hosting environment, but my host hadn't configured curl for https. So I disabled the verify SSL-certificat option, but this feels insecure to me.
Maybe the plugin can somehow set CURLOPT_CAINFO somehow and ship with the required files?

Nicolle was born in the town of Pickering, a sleepy suburb east of Toronto, to her parents Richard and Deborah. Together with her younger brother Robert, she explored the forest and lakeside paths by her home and credits this with fostering her love of the outdoors and all things that grow. As a child, Nicolle was always making art, be it homemade comic books for her mother or doodling on the white walls of her bedroom. As she grew older, her love for creating only strengthened and she could always be seen with a pencil in her hand. After graduating high school, she decided to apply for the Illustration program at OCAD University and attended her first class in the fall of 2011. Here, her lifelong love of art and drawing was fine-tuned and sharpened, and her own style slowly started to emerge.
She loves everything midcentury and retro and is influenced by 1950s and 1960s art, but also draws inspiration from everything from 19th century folk art to 1980s Japanese anime. Her favorite things to draw are people, plants, and animals.
Nicolle is a devoted animal lover and her dream is to one day live on a small farm for rescued and abandoned animals. She also loves camping, watching documentaries, and playing tabletop games. She would like to learn to knit and would like to try pottery someday.
Nicolle lives in Toronto with her rocket scientist partner and their collection of houseplants.

Control Dust Mite and Pet Allergies
- Bedding: Select non-allergic, washable bedding materials. Rather than pillows stuffed with feathers. Get special casings (plastic or rubberized fabric) that zip around mattresses, box springs and pillows. These limit your exposure to dust mite particles. Use washable blankets and spreads, and wash all bedding (including pillows) every week in hot water.
- Humidity: If possible, install a room dehumidifier in the bedroom. Keep humidity below 50%. Lowering humidity reduces the number of mites. Avoid using vaporizers or humidifiers.
- Cleaning: Clean and dust your home thoroughly a regular basis (particularly the bedrooms). Vacuum frequently using HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arresting) air filtered vacuum. Clean your carpet, rugs, and upholstery every year. Clean your air ducts every 3-5 years.
- Clothes: Wash in hot water, hang them in your closet and keep the closet door closed, or put them into dresser drawers.
- HVAC: Change or clean air-conditioner and furnace filters monthly. We recommend using a HEPA cleaner on your heating system or a portable HEPA filter unit in your bedroom.
- Clutter: Get rid of stuffed animals, and other dust collectors, or use washable ones.
- Pets: Never allow pets in the bedroom. Bath them twice a month with a Dander shampoo. You can use Dander wipes in-between baths.
- Concentrate efforts in the bedroom of the dust-sensitive person.

By: McCarly Thomas
It started when some female athletes from Belmont University came to a handful of our Lipscomb Tuesday night FCA meetings last fall. Then, it became a conversation. A comment was made here or there;
"What if we had our FCA meetings together?"
It made sense. Two schools less than a mile down the road from each other had every reason to come to together. We also acknowledged that with Belmont having moved conferences, the intense rivalries between many sports no longer existed.
From there another comment was made;
"Well, what if we invited Vanderbilt?"
Hindsight, God's hand was in the entire process, but this was when it became evident that he was starting something. Taylor Neuhart, a junior pitcher on the softball team, has a good friend on the football team at Vanderbilt, and I (McCarley) have a good friend who plays golf at Belmont. There were our connections.
Soon Taylor and I found ourselves in a coffee shop on 21st avenue with two or three student athletes from each school trying to figure out if this was something they were even interested in pursuing. Much to our joy, they all were. A few plans were made, a group text was created, and what was once a conversation started to become a reality. The next few months involved a lot of planning and figuring out what exactly we as a group wanted this "Nashville FCA" to look like. Very quickly, as the fall always tends to go, November 10th arrived and the hall of fame room was ready. I would like to think in this moment that the leaders from the other schools shared the same apprehension that Taylor and I shared. We had hoped, prayed, and advertised for weeks, but reality rested in the fact that we had no idea how many students would actually show up for this night.
Last Tuesday, 7:30pm rolled around, and all I can say is God is faithful. God blew past all of our expectations as car load after car load arrived bringing in more student athletes than we could have hoped for. Even the leaders for the other schools were surprised by the numbers from their own schools that continued to pour in as the night went on.
At the beginning of the night, everyone was playing the "shoe game", a staple at Lipscomb's FCA. The game is the best kind of mass chaos. Basically everyone takes off one shoe and throws it into the middle of the circle; from there everyone is asked to go find a shoe that is not theirs and find/return it to its rightful owner. It pretty much forces everyone to get up and mingle, meeting as many people as they can in an allotted amount of time.
Somehow in the crowd I found myself beside Taylor. We looked at each other, looked at over 100 college athletes packed into our hall of fame room, and shook our heads in quiet disbelief. It started as a conversation. God took that conversation and created a beautiful new avenue for young men and women to grow in HIS name in this city.
Matthew 18:20- "For when two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them."
For the next three hours we mingled, we worshiped, and we listened to a great lesson from our Director of Spiritual Formation, Chris Klotz (Klotzy). More than anything we were encouraged. We were encouraged by the power of our God, encouraged by the number of God's people who live in such proximity to one another, and encouraged by the realization that we are not alone. We left that night knowing that we have so many companions not only as student athletes, but also as children of God.
At the end of the night our original group of representatives from each school got together for a picture before everyone went their separate ways. Then, a conversation happened;
"What if we invite Trevecca and TSU next time?" and "Let's meet in January so that we can have our next one ready to go in February!"
The conversation is staring again, and I cannot wait to see where it leads.
God bless,
McCarley Thomas is a Junior Right Hand Pitcher on the Lipscomb Softball team. You can follow Lipscomb FCA on twitter @LipscombFCA and on Instagram @Lipscombbisonssf

A deposit of 20% is required upon booking your hunting safari. The balance is payable upon completion of the safari. Only trophies taken or wounded are charged for. We do give latitude in some cases on wounded annimals. Hunters who have hunted previously with Nick Bowker Hunting are not required to pay a deposit.
If you book one of our special packages and do not take all of the trophies included, a credit is given at 80% of the list price of the trophy for the trophies that you did not take. This should, however, rarely be necessary.
If the hunting safari is cancelled, cancellation fees will be due and payable according to the following:
Nick Bowker Hunting, its agents and employees shall not be held liable for any damage, losses and expenses suffered by any client as a result of sickness, quarantine, weather conditions, war, strikes, riots or any other cause outside of our control.

Nick Bowker Hunting shall not be held liable for any loss or expense arising from the loss of property, cancellation or curtailment of the hunting safari however caused, save only to the extent that such loss of baggage, cancellation or curtailment was caused by the hunting outfitter's negligence.
Clients may not carry any unlawful articles or substances whilst in SouthAfrica. If any hunter or observer offends against the prohibitions set out herein, the hunting outfitter will be entitled to immediately exclude from the safari hunting party the offender who will be responsible for his or her own repatriation and all costs thereof.
In all matters where it is or may be necessary to have recourse to the Court, the Courts of the Republic of South Africa shall have sole jurisdiction to the exclusion of the Courts of any other country and the law of the Republic of South Africa shall prevail.

The delightful 25 acre garden of Sandon Hall welcomes Flower Power Fairs back again and as usual we shall have a full compliment of outstanding plant growers and specialists attending.
You will have a huge selection of plants on sale here from small alpines to the big boys of the herbaceous border and everything in-between. Amongst the plant specialists attending will be LBJ Nurseries, Penmere Plants, Ruth Hall, Ribbesdale Nurseries. Plantazia, Hempholme Plant Nursery, The Herb Nursery, Stannard Plants, Bright & Beautiful, North Staffordshire Hostas and Shade Lovers and Cooper's Nurseries. We also welcome the Tiny Plant Company.
The gardens extend to over 25 acres, planted mainly with specimen rhododendrons and azaleas, but over the past three years an impressive amount of work has been undertaken on the Sunken Garden and the rose beds. Hopefully we should also be able to see the bluebells underplanted in the older areas of the gardens so please do explore when you're visiting.
DON'T FORGET TO BRING CASH, most nurseries do not have card facilities. And for those of you who wish to stop the use of plastic bags, may I politely ask you to bring your own bags and help save the planet.
The fair takes place on the Conservatory lawn and admission to the fair is included in the usual garden admission cost of £4.00. Children are free. No dogs in the gardens please but welcome in the delightful parkland as long as they are on leads as there are sheep roaming. The second plant fair will be on 2 August this year.
- Admission £4.00 includes garden, grounds and plant fair.
- Children free.
- Open 11am – 4pm
- Sandon Hall, Sandon, Staffs ST18 0BZ

Some question why the technology has not been installed in quake-prone Southern California
By Kim Baldonado and Bill French
| Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012 | Updated 5:54 AM PDTAbout 30 seconds before Tuesday's Magnitude 7.4 earthquake was felt in Mexico City, residents in the capital were warned by a siren.
Mexico City created an early warning system after the devastating 8.1 quake in 1985, which killed about 10,000 people.
"They realized they could set up a system to warn Mexico City when something happened on the coast," said CalTech Geophysicist Tom Heaton. "It was privately funded."
CalTech is one of three universities that received $2 million each late last year to work on an early warning system for the west coast.
"We've got several students and professors working on ways to improve it," Heaton said. "We're gearing up to hire new programming people."
Here's how it would work: A network of sensors, some of which are already in place, detect the first signs of movement, called primary waves or P waves. Those are weak, but can alert that the more powerful secondary waves, or S waves, are on their way.
Japan already has such a system in place which alerts schools, office buildings, hospitals, and train operators. Japan's system is credited with saving lives during its 9.1 quake a year ago, but that system cost $500 million.
The most recent funding for the west coast system was only $6 million and its only intended to build a prototype.
"We're continuing to work on it at accelerated pace," Heaton said. "But certainly we haven't got the go ahead from the federal government to actually build a working system."Source: http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Early-Quake-Detection-Helps-in-Mexico-143602346.html?_osource=Newsletter-Daily

The Library at the
Indiana Institute on Disability and Community
The Library at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community maintains the book and video collection for the Indiana Resource Center for Autism. As this collection has expanded, it has become increasingly more difficult to maintain an updated list of all written and video publications. Library materials housed in the Institute's lending library collection are listed online as part of IUCAT, Indiana University's online library catalog. The collection can be viewed at http://go.iu.edu/1tdu. Items in the Institute's collection are available for loan to any Indiana resident.
Selected Speech and Language Assessment instruments are available for preview and loan only to certified speech and language pathologists (SLPs) who reside or work in Indiana from the Library. SLPs may wish to borrow the instruments for preview, training or for limited use to assess students with low incidence disabilities.
