Connecting With The Created Series
Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 29, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: We know we should love others as we love ourselves, but how do we love ourselves? This message looks at connect with ourselves.
I was probably 9 or 10 when I first discovered Lego, as opposed to the soft plastic bricks that I had been playing with up to that time. Even though Lego had been around for 20 years it was only introduced in Canada in the early sixties. But even after I discovered the joys of Lego I didn't realize that you could actually buy kits with instruction manuals to help you build them.
Which kind of seems like cheating to me.
In 1964 the first Lego kit was introduced and you could build a cowboy and pony.
Since then the sky has been the limit when it comes to Lego Kits, from most of the world's great landmarks, think the London Bridge and Eiffel Tower right up to most of the Star Wars fleet. But the biggest kit that had ever been produced was the Taj Mahal set which contains almost 6,000 pieces.
Well move over Taj Mahal, early this month Lego released a new Millennium Falcon set which contains 7,541 pieces. And it can be yours for only 799.99 American. And Luke said it was a piece of junk.
And the reality is that what allows you to take a pile of randomly shaped, sized and coloured bricks and create sometime like the Taj Mahal or the Millennium Falcon is their ability to connect with one another.
This Fall our series at Cornerstone has been "Connect" and we've been looking at how we are to connect.
And so in week one we looked at how we were created to connect. To connect with God, to connect with creation and to connect with others.
Last week we went a little deeper in connecting with our creator and looked at how we connect by talking to God, by praising God, by listening to God and by trusting God.
This week I want to look at connecting with the created, that's us.
When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment his answer is found in Mark 12:29-31 Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: 'Listen, O Israel! The LORD our God is the one and only LORD. And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."
And most of us are familiar with the concept of the greatest commandment, Love God and Love others. And most of us are familiar with the Golden Rule, not the one that says "He who has the gold makes the rules", but the one that Jesus taught when he said Matthew 7:12 "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.
But the premise of both of these is the same, love others as you love yourself. So, at the core you first need to have a love for yourself. That almost seems wrong and selfish. Love ourselves? We are supposed to love our spouses, and love our children and love God and love others, we aren't supposed to love ourselves. Or are we?
Because, can we really love others without loving ourselves?
Author Ayn Rand wrote "To say "I love you" one must know first how to say the "I"."
The reality is that you will only be able to love who you are when you finally connect with yourself.
The phrase "Know thyself" has been around for thousands of years, it's been attributed to both Plato and Socrates, and it really doesn't matter who said it first, the truth of the statement is that we each need to know who we are in order to connect. To connect with God and to connect with others begins with connecting with ourselves.
So to know ourselves we Need to Know that We Were Created by God This seems to be a reoccurring theme in my messages lately. To know ourselves is to know that we aren't simply an accident or an oops. And that's important, to know we were created to be here.
We not the result of a single cell creature that accidental evolved from the primordial sludge millions of years ago. Instead we are the creation of a loving creator.
3000 years ago David wrote in Psalm 139:13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.
And maybe you find it difficult to celebrate how God created you. Seriously, I have a theory that when people with a healthy self-esteem look in the mirror their reaction is, "Meh, not bad."
They are neither the ones who look in the mirror and hate what they see, nor the ones who think the one looking back at them is perfect. "Meh, not bad." Unless it 4:30 on a Sunday morning, then it's just scary.

Strange Things
I wish I were adept
at this kind of thing
to write you a song
or a poem, perhaps,
if that's trite enough for you.
(where is this going?)
I hope you know every-
thing you say and do
drives me into a frenzy
of hopeless analysis
(I used to think a+b=c
But you've turned my whole world around)
I can't list out every-
thing I like about you
impossible or improbable
but look! There's the weekend gone
and a 5 on my quiz;
I hope you're happy now.
there's another one! i really need to clear up my files more often

Meet our new Tioga County Fair Queen!
The Tioga County Fair week begins with the evening of the crowing of the 2018 Tioga County Fair Queen. The new queen then presides over the activities of the week that officially start on August 6th, at 3:00 PM and runs until the 11th.
This year five young women stepped up to compete for the title of the queen; Natalie Kalyan, Trecia Spencer, Karmen Short, Bridget Kennedy and Harlee Brooks. They were all required to write an essay, interview with the judges, give a speech, and answer an impromptu question.
The judges chose Karmen Short to reign as the 2018 Tioga County Fair Queen. Karmen is the daughter of Scot and Peggy Short of Westfield. She is a 17-year-old senior at Cowanesque Vally High School. Karmen is a Tri-athlete at CV, playing volleyball, basketball, and softball. She is Vice-President of FFA and a member of the student council. Harlee Brooks was chosen to be the first alternate fair queen. Harlee Brooks is the daughter of Robert and Laurie Brooks. She is a 16-year-old senior at Wellsboro High School. Harlee is a two-time National Accredited Parliamentarian and is the President of the Grand Canyon FFA Chapter. Harlee is also a member of the 4H Tioga County Council.
On the broadcast, Home Page correspondent Lauren Gooch spoke with Karmen and Harlee about their role in encouraging young women. Lauren also spoke to Jennie York, secretary for the fair, about some of the upcoming activities. Jennie mentioned the concert on Monday night with Unspoken and the free fireworks that follow. Tuesday – Senior Day, Wednesday – Family Day, Friday – Demolition Derby, and Saturday – lumberjack competition. For a complete schedule for the Tioga County Fair visit the link listed here.

This is a Thursday series in which I pause and acknowledge something big and important or something small and insignificant that has made me thankful. It is so important and incredibly refreshing to look at the positivity around us, when we are so often surrounded by negativity. Now, I know this might be unpopular opinion. And I will say this with some caveats, but: I LOVE SNOW. I hate driving in it, and I hate scraping the car, but ... there's something so lovely and peaceful about sitting inside and watching the snow fall. And there's nothing better than waking up, looking out the window, and seeing a coat of white glistening flakes coating everything, giving the world a fresh start.
I'm a big fan of new beginnings. I love New Year's resolutions, I make birthday resolutions, sometimes I even make new day resolutions -- I am constantly searching for ways to make life even better than it was the day before. Because life is really too short to live any other way, in my humble opinion... :)
In my mind, Donnie and I are totally the sort of couple who would see something great like snow and immediately go out and play in it. We are spontaneous, we are fun-loving... right? Only, we've never played in the snow before. So even though it was late (we didn't finish making our snowman until midnight!), we piled on extra layers of clothing, and ventured outside. It was the best.
We were inspired to make the snowman from the movie The Snowman which is a Christmas Eve tradition in Donnie's family. It is a simply beautiful movie, with lovely animation, and beautiful music that is unfortunately catchy, so don't watch it if you don't want the song stuck in your head... (LOO LOO LOO LOO LOOOO LOOOOOOOOO) The video is at the end of the post, after these photos of our late night out in the snow.
This is only the beginning of the gear I wore... Two pairs of leggings, jeans, two pairs of socks, two shirts... Then I added a sweatshirt, and my winter coat, and a hat, scarf, gloves... Oh, and plastic bags on my feet. (Donnie wore about the same amount of things...) This photo is silly and embarrassing, but I'm putting it all out there, right?
All bundled up and ready to go out in the snow!
And here is our beautiful guy, The Snowman!
If you just want to catch a glimpse of the snowman, you have my permission to skip ahead to 5:55 in the movie. But really, it's a delight, so if you have some free time this evening, I recommend coming back to watch the whole thing with a mug of tea, or a glass of wine.
What's making you thankful today? (I'd love to read what you're thankful for in the comments...)

The best places to play in 2017
If you've been on the hunt for the perfect best free spins casino but haven't found it yet; then perhaps we can help. Here we've got a list of what we'd rate the top three free spins casinos to be in 2017. We've gone through just about every online casino in existence too so you can be rest assured we've not missed anything out. So without wasting any more of your time we'll get straight into the list. That way you can get on to playing your favourite games with the best free spins bonuses in town!
Casino British
When it comes to free spins casinos, it's very difficult for us to look past Casino British! Their free spins bonus is arguably the best deal out there: especially if you're a new player on the scene. The reason for this is you've got 50 free spins waiting for you when you register an account with Casino British. You get these free spins by doing nothing more than registering an account with their site. There's no deposit required and you'll be getting these best free spins on NetEnt's Starburst Slot.
While the 50 free spins bonus is definitely fantastic; it's not just the bonus alone which makes Casino British land at the top of our list. Casino British is a pretty new online casino; and that has afforded it the luxury of being built with the latest and greatest software around. This is quite apparent to see too. Everything about their site looks sharp and crisp…plus their British theme is sure to be a hit as well! All in all we'd have to admit, it's very hard to look passed Casino British when it comes to free spins casinos. There's simply too many free spins on offer here for you not to claim them!
2. Dr Vegas Casino
We've always been pretty big fans of Dr Vegas Casino. They just seem to know what players are after then they give it to them. What's even more incredible is that they're constantly changing their bonuses to meet their players demands too. It's because of this that we can happily put Dr Vegas Casino on our list. What we mean by this is they only recently added their free spins bonus to their casino; so it's brand new!
You'll get 25 free spins with Dr Vegas Casino and these are free spins that require no deposit as well. Simply registering an account with Dr Vegas Casino will be enough to see these land in your account instantly!
This is just the start of what's to come at Dr Vegas Casino too; Dr Vegas Casino also has one of the most exciting new player welcome bonuses in the industry! The welcome bonus at Dr Vegas Casino is worth a staggering £2,250! What's makes this even better is they've split it up across your first five deposits with the site. This will make claiming it for the full amount even easier; and at the very least you'll have five deposit bonuses instead of one!
3. Casino.com
The final entry on our list for the top 3 free spins casinos in 2017 is Casino.com. Casino.com is a site which knows how to do a lot of things right. They were the first to that glorious url; they made sure they built their site with incredible software; and of course they've made sure they have the bonuses to match!
The free spins bonus you get from Casino.com is once again a free spins bonus that requires no deposit. When you register your account with Casino.com you'll find 20 free spins waiting there in your account. While this is a pretty good deal and an of itself: it's the rest of the deal which really seals Casino.com as number three on our list here. That's because there's another 180 free spins for you to claim when you make a deposit!
The deposit you make must be for at least £20 if you want to get these free spins. It can be for as high as £400 at the other end though. Plus, what makes this welcome bonus even better is that any deposit you make on their site they'll match. This means there's 200 free spins and £400 up for grabs at Casino.com!
Take your pick
Overall we wouldn't say there's very much at all separating these three online casinos. All three of them offer incredible no deposit free spins bonuses. This is why we'd say they're the top 3 free spins casinos in 2017. So if you're a fan of online slots and you haven't yet picked a site to play at: one of these three online casinos are assured to be a place you'll thoroughly enjoy!

"In theological terms, the space of art lies between the Garden and the Kingdom; its time is the meantime." – Mark Taylor, Disfiguring: Art, Architecture, ReligionIf, as I have suggested, the God of Genesis 1 establishes "creative space" by setting up a system of borders and boundaries which humanity can criss-cross or operate within to "approach God," the God of Genesis 2 can be seen as functioning within that very space He has created.
In Genesis 1, God creates by speaking; in Genesis 2, He creates by doing. The God of Genesis 2 can be viewed as an artist-craftsman. In the second Creation story, God sculpts, gardens and sews. He makes the first man from the dust of the Earth, watered by a spring; he plants a garden, into which he places the creature; finally, he fashions a woman from one of the man's ribs. After the Fall, he makes leather clothing ("from skins") for his exiled creatures. The God of Genesis 2 approaches Earth in the very way we humans strive to approach God. He works within the border territory.
Just as we might describe humanity as living on the boundary between Heaven and Earth – our feet on the ground, our heads in the air – the God of the second Creation story conducts his work in this same space. There is even the unparalleled vision of God "walking about in the garden in the evening breeze" (Genesis 3:8, Robert Alter's translation in The Five Books of Moses).
This is very much a hands-on God, a God who interacts directly, face-to-face and bodily, with the universe he has created. Whereas the God described in Genesis 1 may seem distant, making pronouncements from on high and viewing them with approval, this engaged God gets down and dirty, quite literally.
So what gives with these two accounts of Creation? Biblical scholars generally say that the two accounts were written by different authors – Genesis 1 by a an anonymous writer known as P, Genesis 2 by another anonymous writer known as J – and that their separate accounts were placed side by side by yet another anonymous author, the Redactor, or R. This sets up the two Genesis accounts in a manner much like the four New Testatment Gospel accounts, set side by side with no accounting for their differences.
My hat is off to the Redactor. I think this collage of stories is brilliant. It was made even more so by a subtle maneuver made by an early modern editor to provide a bit of slippage between the stories.
The division of the Christian Bible into the chapters and verses we are familiar with today did not happen until the Middle Ages. The Tanakh and earlier Christian versions used divisions that differ from the accepted modern divisions. A 13th-century archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, has been credited with the current organizations of books and chapters, although others surely had a role.
At any rate, in the Christian Bibles we read today, the days of Creation in chapter 1 end with a day of rest for God. But that day of rest occurs not in chapter 1, but as the first three verses of chapter 2. The second account, the artist-crafstman version, begin with verse 4, which reads as a new beginning:
"This is the book of the genesis of heaven and earth when they were made, in the day the Lord God made heaven and earth, before any plant of the field was on earth and before any herb of the field sprang up."Whoever is responsible for the decision to move the day of rest into Chapter 2, I think it is a brilliant, and startlingly post-modern, move. It allows the two accounts to bleed together; it both announces and blurs the distinction between the two stories. The Chapter 1//Chapter 2 boundary becomes a permeable membrane, a collision//fusion of branes.
I also want to point out the introduction of a new way of referring to God in verse 4. In the translation above, we read "the Lord God" where chapter 1 has always referred to the divine being as simply God. In Hebrew, the distinction is El (or Elohim, a plural form used in the singular sense) in Chapter 1 vs. YHWH or Yahweh in Chapter 2. This is one of the clues that scholars use to detect the change in authorship. God is given other names as the Bible proceeds, including El Shaddai, often translated as God Almighty. These other names are sometimes additional clues to changes of authorship. Depending on the translation you read, you may be able to pick out the changes, or the translator may have blurred those edges.
In his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, G. W. F. Hegel says that God is "the act of distinguishing or differentiating, which at the same time gives no difference and does not hold on to difference as permanent." I hope that my earlier writing on the first Creation account -- as a process of establishing borders and boundaries, but one that allows for intermediate space in which we think and create -- helps to elucidate Hegel's words.
I turn once again to Mark Taylor, who in Disfiguring writes that, "To apprehend truth is to see through the particular to the universal. The possibility of this vision is created by art."
The Bible tells us that God created humanity in his image. As a corollary, I would add that when we create, we act in God's image. Whatever creative endeavors we pursue vocationally or avocationally – painting, sculpting, making music (by composition or performance), writing, sewing, cooking, gardening, crafting – are our way of blurring the distinction between the individual and the universal, and moving closer to the concept that we call God. I know that when I play the piano, or work in my woodshop, or design and dye a pysanka, or cook, or write – hell, even when I am caught up in the analysis of a computation at work – I often lose consciousness of time and place in the intensity of my efforts. That's what I'm talking about here: My boundaries become indistinct, I become one with my work, I become part of the universal experience. I know that others have described this as well.
Immanuel Kant refers to this as the "sublime," a word whose etymology conveys moving "up to the threshold." Making art can be sublime, experiencing art on the receiving end (observing, listening, touching, wearing, tasting, etc.) can move us to a similar place if we are truly caught up in it.
When I talked about this in my class last Sunday, I discussed the way in which our senses experience: Through our eyes, ears, nose, mouth, tongue, fingertips, all the places where the external world somehow passes through to our inner selves. These are places of transition, where it becomes impossible to define a boundary between inner and outer. Think of your lips: Can you define a boundary between the outside of your body and the inside at that point? Depending on how you position your lips – pursed or pouting, connected or disconnected – that boundary may change or vanish.
As the Gospel of Thomas tells us:
"When you make the inner like the outerThe act of creation by the maker and the experience of creation by the recipient share this quality of transcendence, which Taylor calls "delight":
And the outer like the inner
And the upper like the lower,
… Then you will enter the kingdom."--Willis Barnstone translation, in The Restored New Testament
"Delight is the inversion of satisfaction. Satisfaction is possessive – to seek satisfaction is to strive for the fulfillment that seems to result from the appropriation of otherness. Delight, by contrast, is nonpossessive. By granting the incurability of primordial emptiness, the dispossessed subject creates the possibility of overcoming the desperate struggle for possession and possessions. Delight can be understood as enjoyment without possession. The nonpossessive enjoyment of improper subjects calls into question the psychology of mastery and the economy of utility and consumption. In delight, one does not seek to master, does not cultivate the useful, and does not long to consume. Delight replaces self-affirmation, which attempts to negate negation by negating otherness, with an affirmation of negation that is impossible apart from acceptance of the other. Instead of struggling to reduce difference to identity, the one who delights acknowledges the identity of difference and the difference of identity." – Erring: A Postmodern A/theologyWe can delight in God's creation. We don't possess it, because we share it with each other and with God. We can also delight in our own and each other's creation through shared experience.
To quote Hegel once again:
"Thinking is the meeting of the self with itself in the other. This is a deliverance that is not the flight of abstraction, but consists in what is actually having itself not as something else, but as its own bing and creation in the other actuality with which it is bound together by the force of necessity. As existing for itself, this deliverance is called I; as unfolded to its totality, it is free spirit; as feeling, it is love; as enjoyment, it is blessedness." -- G.W.F. Hegel, The Logic of HegelI want to end this essay-full-of-quotes by quoting Ernest Holmes, whose writings form the foundation and primary texts of the faith in which I participate, Religious Science. This is from an essay called "I Am the Creativeness Within You," in Living the Science of Mind:
"I the Universal am now individual. I the impersonal am now personal. And yet in My personality and individuality I still remain Universal. But I the Universal Creative Mind now become at the same time the individual and personal creative mind through your will, your desire.
"Because you are some part of Me you have the Power to think and to create. This Power is My Power; it is also your Power. And because this is so, that which you have believed has come upon you; that which you have thought has transpired. Until now you have not know that the very Power which binds you can give you freedom, that the very Power which has created physical infirmities may heal. I the Eternal within do all these things."

I work for Network Rail in Retford in Nottinghamshire working in the Signalling & Telecommunications Department as a Senior Engineering Technician in the Rapid Response signalling fault team covering the Retford area.
I've been on the railway for 25 years (1993-2018) and had experience on working on most signalling equipment from mechanical to most electrical types. New technology is ever increasing and I like to keep myself involved and up-to-date. I've had experience on maintenance teams, New works, Locking Fitters, Pointcare and now Rapid Response as well as acting supervisor at both Retford & Sheffield depots.
My main experience was working on points for ten years as leader of the Retford Pointcare team covering most point types. I was awarded a Determination award in 2009 for managing a junction refit which was dogged by failures. I was also awarded a recognition award for a stretcher design that would indicate if a points stretcher had become detached, this was after the Grayrigg accident. I was also recognised for the work me and my team did at Woodhouse junction in Sheffield, of which in around five years we refitted all the mechanical points, of which I redesigned the compensation issues and moved the cranks and compensators to their proper positions which inevitably cured all failures caused by wear and tear and heat issues. We also refitted nearly all 250 sets of points in the Retford area, making point failures decrease from around 7-10 failures per week to around 1 or 2 failures or less per month.
I've enjoyed every minute of my railway career, and anyone who works on the railway will tell you its a very enjoyable and rewarding role.
I hope you enjoy browsing my site,
F. M. Spowart.

Qatar could be stripped of hosting the 2022 World Cup, with England in contention to host it, according to a Saudi sports chief, reported News.com.au (Australia).
The USA will also be considered as another venue, report German news Online Focus who cites sports minister Turki Al-Sheikh.
FIFA has been facing calls to take the prestigious tournament away from Qatar after the explosive report into vote-buying by the Gulf state was made public.
The world's football governing body published its report of the bidding battles for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments in full after German newspaper Bild announced it was going to print leaks from it.
It revealed a secret payment of $2.6 million was made to the ten-year-old daughter of Brazilian FIFA bigwig Ricardo Teixeira, while three senior figures were flown to a meeting in Rio in a Qatari-owned jet.
Political conflict in the country is also causing concern for football chiefs.
Dubai-based TV channel Al Arabiya claims a confidential BBC report has warned companies against building facilities for the World Cup in Qatar.
FIFA will reportedly wait until next summer to make a final call on the 2022 World Cup venue.
President Gianni Infantino wants all 211 member countries to vote to decide on the hosts.
MP Damian Collins, chairman of the Commons Culture, Media and Sport select committee, said: "It's absolutely the case that the decision to award the World Cup to Qatar has to be reviewed.
"It is clear that the decision not to publish the full report was an attempt to cover up the full extent of corruption at FIFA.
"FIFA was aware of serious allegations and deliberately attempted to stop them emerging.
"It looks like inappropriate payments to get votes. If that is the case, Qatar should lose the right to host the World Cup."
England famously lost out in their bids for both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, despite sending envoys including David Beckham and Prince William to argue their case.
But football fans were left gob smacked when Qatar was then announced as the host of the competition in 2022.
The country has been under fire for its treatment of builders working on half-completed stadiums, with unsafe conditions and low wages leading to numerous deaths and claims of modern-day slavery from human rights groups.
There is also an issue of the weather, with Qatar experiencing scorching summers at the time the World Cup is usually hosted.
A fierce debate rages on about whether it should be moved to the winter, but that would disrupt all the major European domestic leagues.

NFL News: Player News and Updates for 10/19/15
NFL Updates: News From Around the League, Week 7 Schedule and More
October 19, 2015
See the Latest Odds
We've still got one more game on the Week 6 schedule in the NFL, but most of the league is all finished up for now. Let's check out some of the notable players and stats in the headlines today.
Colts-Patriots Wrap-Up: The always-entertaining matchup of the Colts and Patriots was all set last night in Indianapolis, and New England was able to continue their dominance of their conference rival.
The Pats took a 34-27 victory here to remain unbeaten on the season, with a nice performance from Tom Brady (312 yards; three TD) and LeGarrett Blount (93 rush yards; two total TD).
The Colts hung with New England for most of the game, but bogged down in the second half--highlighted by a bizarre fake punt attempt.
USA TODAY Sports
The Steelers shocked the NFL world with a convincing victory over the Cardinals yesterday, thanks to a couple of big performances from some lesser-known players.
Landry Jones posted two touchdown passes, filling in for an injured Michael Vick. Chris Boswell logged three impressive field goals, and Martavis Bryant was the star of the show with six grabs for 137 yards and two scores in the 25-13 win.
Ben Roethlisberger has a good shot at getting back for next week, and it's pretty impressive how the Steelers have continued to win without him.
The normally hapless Jets are riding high right now, thanks to a 34-20 win over the Redskins yesterday. Ryan Fitzpatrick posted two touchdown passes and a TD run, helping his team to a 4-1 record.
The Jets have a huge showdown game with New England this week which will go a long way in determining the pecking order of the AFC East.
The Giants' Jason Pierre-Paul will get his hand looked at by team doctors tomorrow. It's the first time they've checked him out in over a month.
Pierre-Paul still has until the middle of next month to sign his tender, otherwise he's done for the year. That's even if he's healthy, though; there are multiple reports out there saying he may not even be physically able to play due to that nasty fireworks injury.
Let's finish up back in the AFC East with a look at the Dolphins. The team got its first win under interim coach Dan Campbell yesterday, crushing the Titans 38-10. Lamar Miller was great in this one, posting 113 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

A murder accused denied that he flung 27-year-old Russell Robertson over a bridge into a canal.
HGV driver Mark Munro, who was giving evidence at the High Court in Glasgow, claimed that he was trying to help Russell – known as Smeegs – and that it was his co-accused James Robertson who flipped him over the bridge.
Munro (31), from Denny, and Robertson (27), from Pitlochry, deny murdering Russell from Falkirk, by pushing him over bridge railings at Bainsford Bridge, Falkirk, on May 29, last year, and causing him to fall into the Forth and Clyde Canal.
Defence counsel Tony Graham, representing Robertson, accused Munro of lying and said he had given a different version of events in court and in a prepared statement through his lawyer and during a police interview.
Munro said: "The solicitor didn't want details just basics. He must misheard me."
He claimed he got confused when speaking to police because he had had no sleep for 40 hours.
Mr Graham said: "You are making up a lie, a complete lie and it's difficult to remember what you've said," and Munro replied: "I'm telling the truth."
The defence counsel then said: "You put that man over the bridge," and Munro responded: "No."
Mr Graham added: "We will never know why you did it, but you did it," and he said: "No."
Munro denied a suggestion from Mr Graham that Robertson had left the bridge before Russell went over the railings.
Earlier, Munro told his QC Derek Ogg that he grabbed at 27-year-old Russell's left arm as he went over railings on a bridge over the Forth and Clyde Canal.
Munro told the jury: "If I hadn't done that he would have gone straight into the water."
Mr Ogg asked Munro: "Did you see Russell Robertson going over," and he replied: "Yes, his whole body went over and I grabbed his left arm. It was more his clothing at the shoulder to stop him going in the water.
"I swung him over to the banking. He nearly pulled me over and I smashed my arm against the wall."
He was asked if he managed to keep his grip on Russell and replied: "No, I lost my grip."
Munro said he did not hear a splash and thought Russell was in bushes.
Mr Ogg asked: "Did you look," and Munro replied: "Yes, I saw him lying there. He was sitting there on his bum. I shouted 'Are you alright.' I heard aaah and thought he was saying aye."
Munro claimed that seconds before Robertson was fighting with Russell and he had to separate them.
He added: "James tried to push him over the railings. He flipped his legs up. He pushed him right over the fence."
The jury heard that Munro fainted when police told him on May 29, 2016 that Russell was dead. When asked why he had done this, he replied: "I was shocked."
Munro has still to be cross-examined by prosecutor Alan Cameron.
The trial before judge Lady Carmichael continues.

2018 Chevy Corvette ZR1 Set to Debut at Le Mans?
Newly leaked photos may point toward a reveal at 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The 2018 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is one of the most highly anticipated vehicles of the decade. While Chevy has kept details about the ultra-high-performance sports car under tight wraps, one of Automobile's readers tipped off the outlet to a couple of new pictures and it looks like the Corvette ZR1 is preparing for something big. Real big!]
The Corvette ZR1, according to Automobile, was the sole rider on a 747 flight to Europe. From the pictures, we can see that the highly camouflaged Corvette has the entire plane to itself – 'cause that's how Chevrolet rolls – and is wearing a protective cover. It also has some funky-looking exhaust outlets peeking out from under the tarp. However, as Automobile reports, the exhaust outlets, which look utterly ridiculous, aren't for show but are used to reduce the car's sound on racetracks.
That last bit of information is vital because it may hint at where the Corvette ZR1 is going. If Chevrolet was planning to make a timed lap at a Nurburgring, it would need the sports car to be fitted with the system, as the Green Hell has a sound limit of 95 decibels.
Automobile also believes that a debut is possible at this weekend's 24 Hours of Le Mans, which runs from June 17 to 18. While that theory seems a bit farfetched, it would explain why Chevrolet placed the ZR1 into an airplane and quickly shipped it off to Europe, claims the site. Plus, as the outlet points out, Chevrolet can lap the Nurburgring at any time.
If Chevrolet does decide to unveil and formally present the ZR1 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will definitely be an event to remember. Either way, we want more ZR1!

USA Today: Martz, Cutler, Bears setting the offensive pace so far
Sept 21, 2010 ~ by Jarrett Bell
~The Martz effect
Jay Cutler marked his first year in the Windy City by coughing up an NFL-high 26 interceptions last season, but two weeks into the new campaign he is the NFL's top-rated passer.
With just one pick.
Perhaps that's evidence of the bond developing between strong-armed Cutler and the Chicago Bears' new mad scientist of a coordinator, Mike Martz. Cutler, with a 121.2 efficiency rating, is averaging 10.14 yards per attempt as he gets used to the wide-open scheme.
Beneath the numbers, Cutler demonstrated how the scheme comes to life during the victory against the Dallas Cowboys.
With the Cowboys showing a blitz in the second quarter, Cutler adjusted with a flick a pass over the middle to streaking tight end Greg Olsen for a 39-yard touchdown. He later struck with a 59-yard heave to Johnny Knox on third-and-15, which set up a 9-yard TD pass to Devin Hester.
Martz adjusted, too, when Cutler was battered early and the line reshuffled after losing left tackle Chris Williams to a hamstring injury. He mixed max protection packages, quick-timing throws, screens and even formations including running backs Matt Forte and Chester Taylor.

Amendments to the proposed reform of Spanish universities have failed to satisfy the country's rectors.
The government is proposing to abolish the national entrance exam for students, allow universities to select their students and establish a national training exam for lecturers along the lines of the German system.
The bill, known as the Universities' Law, aims to update the legal framework, untouched since 1985.
It was presented to university leaders last month and should begin its passage through parliament in September.
But it is the law's focus on proposals to change management structures, giving more power to governors appointed by regional governments and industry representatives, that is most criticised.
Two thousand lecturers, researchers and students signed a protest document drawn up by the University of Valencia. The Spanish Rectors' Conference and the rectors of seven Catalan universities have added their voices to the protest.
The government has made concessions, reducing the power of political appointees on the main governing council, but increasing their powers on a second board, the social council.
The rectors said the changes represented "a political intervention that would seriously restrict the constitutional right to university autonomy".
Some university leaders fear this is a way of giving regional governments power by the back door. They point to the example of Valencia, where the regional government is bringing in a similar bill and has a long history of conflict with the state universities in its jurisdiction.
The Spanish government has a comfortable parliamentary majority so has no need to make pacts or concessions to push the bill through.
If it fails to reach a consensus with university leaders, it may be hard pressed to obtain their cooperation in introducing the changes.

Recognition of Vietnam's qualifications and experience. Find out how the electrician registration compares in Vietnam to New Zealand.
This section is for guidance only
Persons from Vietnam need to show, at least, theoretical and practical training and work experience to the 4/7 level (skilled worker) and above.
The type of registration depends on the training and experience. However, it should be noted that vocational training courses are, largely, in 4 categories:
- Factory and appliance repairs.
- Refrigeration and air-conditioning
- Electronic radio and television
- Installation electrical
It would seem that (a), (b) and (c) are more aligned to work for which an electrical service technician registration is appropriate and (d) together with (a) or (b) or (c) is more aligned to work for which electricians registration is appropriate.

MOSSVILLE, Ill. -- Truck owners will continue to be able to purchase Cat Clean Power heavy-duty and mid-range engin...
MOSSVILLE, Ill. — Truck owners will continue to be able to purchase Cat Clean Power heavy-duty and mid-range engines in the most popular ratings after the October emissions deadline.
While ACERT-equipped engines go into full production in the second quarter of 2003, these Clean Power engines will bridge the gap according to Cat and be fully certified by the Environmental Protection Agency.
"There will be no interruption in production. Our focus is to continue providing the products our customers need and the traditional Cat value they expect, as we prepare to introduce our ACERT technology," says Jim McReynolds, general manager, Caterpillar On-Highway Engine Division.
The heavy-duty Clean Power C-15, C-10 and C-12 will continue to be available after October, as well as the mid-range 3126E.
The largest engine in the Caterpillar line, the 600 hp C-16, will be re-engineered from between October and March of 2003 to provide more horsepower than ever before, McReynolds adds. Caterpillar will pay non-conformance penalties (NCPs) to the EPA to fulfill the requirements of the consent decree; however, this cost will not be passed on to the customer.
Based on the EPA's cost estimates for cooled EGR engines, many large fleet owners and owner/operators are concerned about the October 2002 deadline. Caterpillar is working with the EPA toward an acceptable solution to the NCP issue, according to McReynolds.
"One solution that Caterpillar and many truck owners have proposed is that the EPA extend the deadline to allow appropriate time to field test the new engines," he says. "Rushing engines to market without sufficient testing will not help the customer, nor will it preserve environmental quality. We simply will not bring ACERT engine technology to market until it has been appropriately tested in the field."

Yes that linoleum is great without seams. I like Marmoleum which I hope I spelled right. It doesn't release all the fumes quite so much as regular linoleum.

P.S.: A quick keyword search shows that this is the tenth time I've used the word "crummy" to describe the Orioles team and/or individual players. So this is a milestone of sorts for me too! Hurrah!

Etched on my heart like landmarks,
I would tally up half the stars
Which punch the skies with their tiny spark.
If I could hold the stream of tears
In the cup f my hands thro the years,
I would scoop the ocean floor bare
And run it with streams of despair.
If I could relive the memory
Playing on my mind's walls like a movie,
I would shut down the film industry
And write a couple hundred DVDs.

At any one time, at least one person in six is experiencing a mental health condition.
This is bad for the individual and for the people around them. The government loses money too because people cannot work and need additional health care.
Cambridgeshire County Council, together with other organisations, have developed a Public Mental Health Strategy.
The aim of this strategy is to ensure that the council are maximising opportunities to promote good mental health and prevent mental illness.
This, for example, could include reducing stigma around mental health, working with employers so that they are supportive of those with mental health problems or reducing social isoaltion.
Cambridgeshire County Council are keen to gather a wide range of views on how best they can ensure that they are promoting good mental health and preventing people from developing mental illness.
They will be holding a meeting for deaf people with BSL interpreters present at the CDA building in Cambridge.
It will be on at 6pm on Friday 1st May.
We hope to see you there to give your views on this important subject.
Let us know that you're coming so we get enough cakes and biscuits

This a post about some of the handmade gifts I want to give this year to save money and the stress of shopping as I know some people who love a hand made gift. Getting someone a present you know they'll really does reduce the stress and if you don't have to trap se round shopped when they are packed to the brim even better!
I love to spend any free time I have crafting. I love Papercraft, especially scrapbooking and also crochet. I knit a little but tend to find it very slow going and often make mistakes meaning I have to rip out quite a few hours work. This is probably why I have been kniting a sock for the past 12 months. I get very frustrated when it's not going right and to be honest I need somebody to show me how to knit the heel as for the life of me, I can't work it out on my own! But I am going to keep trying as I have included knitting a pair of socks in my 50 By 50 Bucket List.
Crochet is a different thing. I'm by no means an expert but I getting there in my own sweet time. One thing I really would like to crochet is a cover for a hot water bottle. I've seen some lovely ones on the net and would love to have a go at making one myself. I've not come across s pattern but I'd lve to challenge myself and have a go and making one by designing my own pattern.
The covers I have seen and like are all quite simple in design. The ones I like consist of 6 little granny squares each side and the a plain boarder and bottle neck.
Crochet and photo by the Patchworkk Heart – true inspiration.
I've been on the time zapper that is Pinterest looking for some ideas on colour combination and have narrowed it down to these:
Please see my Crochet Colour Pinterest board for photo credits.
I'm now on the lookout for some budget busting quality hot water bottles and hope to get some covers made for Christmas gifts.
Do you make handmade gifts for friends and family at Christmas?
This post is brought to you as part of my #Us3Xmas series. A selection of posts to help make Christmas stress free, simple and fun.
If you are doing any crafting this year to save money or to give that individual perfect gift, please link up to my #Us3Xmas linky below along with any Christmas posts to save time and money while reducing the stress.
Old and new posts welcome.

New product from synthesizer manufacturer Dave Smith Instruments
Company founder and renowned designer Dave Smith is no stranger to analog synthesizers, being responsible for the pre- eminent Prophet-5, the world's first programmable polyphonic synthesizer back in 1978, and a raft of innovative instruments thereafter — both for Sequential Circuits, his first commercial company, and beyond. By 2002, he had started afresh with Dave Smith Instruments- branded designs, debuting with the diminutive desktop Evolver, a compact monophonic analog/digital synthesizer module that's still making musical waves worldwide to this day.
Today rich-sounding analog warmth beats at the very heart of Dave Smith Instruments, with the appropriately-named Prophet '08 — an eight-voice synthesizer keyboard with a 100% analog signal path, including illustrious Curtis analog low-pass filters — signaling Smith's call to analog arms in 2007. "It's been nice to rescue the Prophet name from all the simulations that have multiplied over the years," Smith stated at the time. The award-winning Prophet '08 has subsequently stood the test of time, and remains a bestseller today for DSI in its current keyboard and module guises.
Having so successfully married the prestigious Prophet name to a thoroughly modern feature set, by introducing the compact and affordable monophonic Mopho desktop synthesizer analog module in 2009, Dave Smith Instruments brought that powerful Prophet '08 sound within easy reach of the musical masses. Mopho's voice architecture is identical to a single voice of the Prophet '08, but with a couple of unique twists that distinguish it from its award-winning big brother. "I wanted to give it a character of its own," said Smith. "Each of the oscillators has its own sub-octave generator. Mopho also features an external audio input that allows processing of external audio sources as well as the ability to mix the output back in pre-filter for feedback effects. It's been popular, because everybody likes having a low-cost, high-quality, real analog synth."
While Prophet '08 owners can control most Mopho parameters directly from their keyboard or module's front panel via MIDI, various keyboard-based versions of the Mopho are also available, starting with the Mopho Keyboard synthesizer. Said Smith: "It's a keyboard version of our little Mopho module, so we took the same basic voice and added a keyboard with weighted keys, velocity, and aftertouch, which we think is really important for an analog synth like this. It's got a bunch of knobs and switches — all live, realtime controllers for tweaking as much as you want. It's got polychain, so you can hook up to a Tetra to give you five voices in total in a very small footprint."
Back in the world of polyphony, the Tetra polyphonic desktop analog synthesizer module is an affordable, fully-programmable polysynth with a 100% analog signal path, boasting four-part multitimbral capability with four separate outputs — proof positive that Dave Smith Instruments responds to its users. According to its designer, "Tetra means four, and that's basically what this is. It's four Mophos in a box. Or you can think of it as half of a Prophet '08. It's got the small size of the Mopho, because that's what people tell us they like — small, but powerful. You can do a lot of damage from the front panel or you can play it from a keyboard or a computer. It's got a polychain feature for chaining multiple Tetras together or with a Prophet '08. And it has USB, which makes it easier when you're using it with the editor that comes with it that runs on either a Mac or PC."
Next out of the DSI analog starting gate, the Mopho X4 keyboard synthesizer: "Basically, we started with the Mopho Keyboard, stretched it out to 44 keys, and added three voices. And it's the same all-analog signal path. Beyond that, it's got lots of knobs and switches, so you have full control over the sound — it's a lot more fun to play with that way also, and it comes with four banks of factory presets, plus another four user banks. It's got a velocity- and pressure-sensitive, full-size, weighted keyboard. If you want to add more voices, it's easy to expand — for example, with a Tetra."
Coming full circle, Mopho SE is the newest addition to DSI's revered line of analog subtractive synthesizers. Building upon the same award- winning voice architecture of the Mopho and Mopho Keyboard, the four-octave Mopho SE delivers a huge sound in an ideally-sized, portable, and elegantly-designed package with every parameter being fully programmable and editable from the front panel. Polychaining up to three Tetras with a Mopho SE creates a 13-voice analog super-synth surpassed only in size and scope by an awesome 16-voice Prophet '08 keyboard and module pairing!
Dave Smith Instruments' evolving family of analog synthesizers will have been demoed at the 2014 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California.

Thomas Christiansen made nine changes to the side beaten at Millwall on Saturday as Leeds United went in search of a place in the Carabao Cup's last 16.
Goalkeeper Andy Lonergan and striker Pawel Cibicki were handed debuts against Burnley while forward Jay-Roy Grot made a first start for Leeds in a weakened side at Turf Moor.
Conor Shaughnessy and Luke Ayling were the only surviving players from United's first loss of the season, partnering each other in the centre of defence with Pontus Jansson, Liam Cooper and Matthew Pennington all missing due to recent fitness problems.
Christiansen included Pablo Hernandez and Pierre-Michel Lasogga on the bench while Hadi Sacko also returned to the 18 having fallen out of favour last month.
Burnley's side for the third-round tie featured seven alterations, with ex-Leeds left-back Charlie Taylor called into Sean Dyche's team.
Chris Wood, who also quit Elland Road for Burnley during the summer transfer window, was named as a substitute as Ashley Barnes and Sam Vokes led the line for the hosts.
Leeds United: Lonergan, Borthwick-Jackson, Berardi, Shaughnessy, Ayling, Vieira, Klich, Dallas, Roofe, Cibicki, Grot. Subs: Wiedwald, Gomes, Alioski, Sacko, Hernandez, Phillips, Lasogga.
Burnley: Pope, Bardsley, Tarkowski, K Long, Taylor, Hendrick, Westwood, Arfield, Gudmundsson, Barnes, Vokes. Subs: Lowton, Mee, Cork, Defour, Legzdins, Wood, Brady.

Perforce For NetBeans
Perforce For NetBeans
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
You've been hearing a lot about agile software development, get started with the eBook: Agile Product Development from 321 Gang.
PerforceNB 1.0.3 beta has many new features added compared to the first release, which Aurelian says was still good enough to use on a daily basis in his normal development. The 0.1 alpha release didn't include all of Perforce's features but it did include:
- Automatic integration in Perforce of IDE file operations like create, delete, edit, move, rename
- Automatic integration in Perforce of file operations outside IDE
- Connection configuration (basic form, one connection for all opened projects)
- Colored labels and version information in Project View and Explorer
- Basic operations including add, delete, checkout, revert
- Get latest revision (one operation for all projects)
- File differences
- Submit selection dialog and action (this only worked with default changeless)
The NetBeans API for VCS helps all VCS clients behave in a similar way. This was a nice side effect when Aurelian was developing his client. Although there are several other attempts at a NetBeans client for Perforce, Aurelian says he wasn't thrilled by any of them. He says all of the other NetBeans plugins that tried to implement Perforce used the p4 command line tool, which forces you to manage the input and output of a command line. Instead, Aurelian uses the Perforce Java API ( P4JAPI). This allows Aurelian's implementation to work with objects and avoid parsing. It's also faster than the command line tool, and able to manage external processes.
These are the newest features in PerforceNB
- Connection configuration, multiple connection, each project can have its own connection
- Colored labels and version information in Project View, File View (local and depot revision)
- Implemented actions: Manage / Unmanage by perforce (on projects), Add ,Edit ,Delete, Revert, Revert unchanged, Refresh (don't sync, just refresh the cache below and redraw the interface), Diff against have revision, Submit (works only with default change list), Manage connections (creates, edits multiple connections), Sync action (on selected file/files/folders/project) - You can sync from the latest version or from a specific changelist
- Out of sync decoration for updated files with different revisions
- Cache is now persisted on local storage when NetBeans is closed, and is reloaded from local storage when NetBeans open projects. Now there is no need to query Perforce server when NB starts for every project. This is a big improvement when we have many projects, loading is very fast.
- Ignored files management (rules for all projects). (In the next version will be added support for ignored files based on mask and on absolute paths.)
- Automated actions (add, edit, delete, move)
- Option to enable/disable the automated actions
- Icon marking projects managed by perforce system (enable/disabled depending if there are pending actions or not).
- a lot of bug fixes
Aurelian welcomes contributions to his open source project. You can check out his blog to see exactly how he harnessed NetBeans' excellent integration features for making his Perforce client. Perforce has been improving its plugin architecture and offline capabilities, which could be good for Aurelian's PerforceNB project.

The DVD war is heating up this holiday shopping season, and CNBC's Julia Boorstin and Dennis Kneale share their insight.
The comprehensive video discussion covers:
• Studio supports vs. retail prices: which one will prevail?
• Studios that are with either Blu-ray or HD DVD.
• Sony CEO's declaration of Blu-ray victory earlier this year, and then recently backing away from it.
• Paramount and Dreamworks switching to HD DVD, and the reported $150 million payoff.
• Sony's history of losing format wars.
• Blu-ray's biggest edge: PlayStation 3.
• PS3 being a "wildcard" - studies that show that only 20% to 30% of PS3 owners watch Blu-ray movies.
• The historical price point that convinces people to buy a new product: $199.
• Blu-ray and HD DVD together have only 2.5% of the video market and sold fewer than one million units.
• The currently dying DVD market.
• Consumers who are confused and deterred by the format war.
• Other factors: upscaling DVD players, video-on-demand.
how many days in a row can the High def DVD wars 'heat up'. Almost as overused as 'top ten .....'
So what is the point of this video. They said the war will keep the consumer confused...ya, and you are not helping
Other companies do not innovate formats. The Compact Disc (CD) was Sony's baby and joint ventured. Just like Blu Ray. This is not about Sony or Toshiba. This is about Innovation vs. Innovation. The Blu Ray Disc Association convinced me they were confident. Even Pioneer. Hd dvd seems to be trying to play with people. I think the general public must face the fact that someone must try and fail for innovation. Failure is not even the right word because the failures are the ones who don't even try. Bench warmers do nothing but poach innovation (Microsoft). It is time to see the true innovators get the rewards. Blu Ray wins.
Side Note: Japan never went VHS, only Beta, and Beta is still around in other forms.
Only one million HD players out there - but:
20%-30% of PS3 owners watch Blu Ray - that would mean with sales of over 5 million - at least 1 million players out there without counting standalone Blu Ray players. And that is not counting the HD-DVD players sold.
As always - trying to take a swipe at Sony on many points. It is not much o a war heating up - more like BR beating HD-DVD into the ground.
sony is one of the very few companies that have enough balls to bring out something new while other companies are to scared and wait for a format to gain ground before jumping all over it. their problem in the past was keeping it proprietary... this is not the case this time with Blu-ray

A DOCTOR died in Southport hospital from suspected swine flu, it was confirmed last night.
Hospital bosses refused to name the man but it is understood he was in his early 30s and lived in the town.
The doctor, of Greek descent, passed away on Friday.
He had been employed at Southport hospital but was more recently working at Arrowe Park hospital in Wirral.
If confirmed as the virus, it marks the 12th known death on Merseyside from the illness during the latest outbreak.
Health chiefs have refused requests to release official figures detailing exactly how many people have died in the region from swine flu.
When pressed about the doctor's death, a spokesperson for Liverpool Primary Care Trust, which is co-ordinating swine flu media coverage, said it would not comment on individual cases.
A statement read: "Any death – regardless of age – is extremely sad for the families of those involved, but unfortunately we do see deaths every year as a result of flu.
"While most people recover without complications in one to two weeks, flu can cause serious illness and death.
"Even in a mild flu season we would expect to see around 2,000 deaths. This is why it is really important that people who are eligible for flu vaccination take up the vaccine.
"In addition, it is strongly recommended that healthcare professionals directly involved in patient care also have the flu vaccine.
"Vaccination programmes for these staff start during the Autumn, at the same time as the main public vaccination programme for at risk groups."
It is not clear if the doctor contracted flu while working at Arrowe Park Hospital, which was closed to visitors for five days earlier this month in a bid to stop the virus spreading, or if he had been vaccinated.
Figures released on Friday revealed that a total of 112 people with flu have died in the UK since September.
They include Ormskirk hairdresser Hilary Robinson, 37, and Skelmersdale dad-of-four Anthony Jones, 38, who both died over Christmas at Southport Hospital.
All non-urgent operations have been postponed at the Town Lane hospital to free up bed space for flu patients.
WOULD you like to pay tribute to the doctor?
Contact reporter John Siddle on 01704 398273 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Alternatively, write to Southport Visiter, 26-32 Tulketh Street, Southport, PR8 1BT.

Case Study #167: Cabinet Handling
Problem: Parts range from 19.6-84″W x 15.5-26.8″H x 14.7-29.8″DP weighing up to 300 lbs. Process was requiring 2-3 associates to handle. The parts are coming straight from fabrication and may have some sharp edges and a thin oil film making handling them hazardous for the operators.
Application: Operators need to lift and flip small to large top chest and tool cases (tool boxes) on a conveyor to facilitate a downstream process. In some instances, operators need to remove parts from conveyor and place on a work table then back to the conveyor.
Solution: Positech Vertical Lift Cylinder on an x-y ceiling mounted enclosed rail bridge crane. End effector tooling allows operators to adjust for various part width while vacuum cups provide the "grip" needed to handle the parts. Pneumatically powered continuous 360-degree bi-rotational assembly through the vacuum cups capable of facilitating a slight off center load so operators may overcome various punched openings in the side walls of the parts. Rotational speed of 10 seconds per 360-degrees rotation with "Soft stop" circuitry for rotate cw/ccw and grip/release allows the operator to stop the motion anywhere along its travel range by releasing the pushbutton. Operator safety and convenience features including but not limited to "Gripper Safety Circuit" to prevent an operator from releasing an unsupported payload and provided "easy release" of the part and vacuum Sensed Lift Allowed Circuitry to prevent the payload from being lifted unless a preset sufficient vacuum level has been achieved.
