The Druid Nation
The so called Druid Nations is a loose alliance of nomad tribes that still align themselves with the Druid Council and follow the Druidic Laws.
It is difficult to get a definitive population count of these wandering groups, but it is believed that there are about 20,000 in all, divided more or less as follows: 6000 humans, 4000 halflings, 2000 Elves, 1500 Gnomes, , and 500 Dwarves. Studies have documented at least three hundred different tribes, and it is believed that the actual number is closer to five hundred.
The culture and practices of the tribes vary widely, but almost all of them center around following or moving roaming groups of animals around the continent with the seasons.
Each tribe is headed by a chief or council, and each defers to a Druid that has grown among them. Disputes between tribes, usually over rights to water sources or grazing land, are mediated by the Druid Council as they were in the first days after the fall.
The tribes differ widely in how they handle dealings with outsiders. Some are hostile and xenophobic, while others are open and welcoming. Some strictly follow the Druidic bans on magic and Elder technology, while others are more lax.
Makeup of individual tribes varies widely as well. Some are divided by race, and others include members from all races.

4 For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5 because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. 6You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. 7 And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,
Paul views the gospel's arrival as beginning a chain reaction with Thessalonica at the epicenter. It was like dropping a stone into the center of a quiet pond. At first there is the initial splash, then ripple after ripple reaches out until it fills the entire pond. In Thessalonica the gospel caused an initial "splash" (1:5a; cf. Acts 17: 1-4) and formed a series of concentric rings beginning with the way the apostles chose to live among the Thessalonians (1:5b). The rings expanded to include the Thessalonians who became imitators of the apostles and the Lord (1:6). Eventually the rings expanded beyond the walls of Thessalonica so that they became an example to other believers living in the far flung areas of Macedonia and Achaia (1:7). But the splash did not end there. The concentric rings from the initial splash extend far beyond Thessalonica to places and in ways that neither Paul nor the Thessalonians could have predicted nor imagined (1:8). In fact, the events in Thessalonica are so well-known that the apostles can sit back and say nothing. The results speak for themselves (1:8).
The world is becoming increasingly smaller and more interdependent. Globalization as an economic, cultural and political phenomenon is linking the world in ways never before seen. Whatever our opinion of globalization, we must acknowledge its existence and the impact that it is having on how ministry is done, in particular missions and evangelism. Most of the world now participates in a global culture connected by better communication, an interdependent economic system and is formed by a way of thinking patterned on the scientific method.
Religion has also become globalized. As Muck and Adeney point out, "religion" as a generic category is more viable in a globalized world (Christianity Encountering World Religions:, 17-18). In the past, "religion" generally only meant one thing, depending upon where you lived. For instance, if you lived in the west it meant Christianity, Islam if you lived in the Middle East and Hinduism if you lived in India. Religion was, at least perceptually, more regional than global. Now, the lines are blurred and it is common to encounter people of other religions in whatever region of the world you may find yourself.
I have seen this blurring of the lines happen in my own lifetime. I grew up outside of New York City on Long Island. When I was in school it wasn't uncommon for other kids to ask "what is your religion." By that question they meant: are you Catholic or Jewish? In my neighborhood you were either Jewish or Catholic. Those two groups represented the vast majority of religious identities in my area, even in a place just outside of the New York metropolitan area. Yes, there were other groups there. But they were few enough in number that we did not notice them. Now, however, it's not unusual to see a sign for a Buddhist temple or the minarets of a mosque among the church steeples and synagogue menorahs.
The globalization of religion invariably impacts our ministry and evangelism. There is an increasing chance that the person working with you, walking in the park or answering the door is going to be Muslim, Hindu or a member of some other religious group that is not Christian. We no longer live in a world where religious identity can be assumed based on the region in which we live. Just as globalization has opened up the market place to products and services from around the globe, it has also brought religion to new places and Christianity no longer encounters these religions. It coexists with them.
While religious globalization might be threatening to some, there are some parallels with the first century. In the Greco-Roman world the religious market place was not just an economic metaphor to describe the dissolving of geographic, political and economic boundaries between countries and regions. Religion was literally in the market place. I remember the first time I toured ancient Corinth and was struck by the way that the temple of Apollo dominates the agora. Archaeologists have uncovered and identified some nine temples and seven shops/markets from the first century all scattered among one another in the agora. The close proximity of temple and market explains why some, if not most, of the meat available in the shops had been butchered as part of temple sacrifice, a problem Paul confronts in 1 Cor. 8-10. The situation was probably the same in Thessalonica. While much of first century Thessalonica remains unexcavated, the city's forum has been excavated along with some of its shops. Remnants of inscriptions and buildings belonging to a number of temples, including one dedicated to worshiping Caesar, have been found suggesting that religion in Thessalonica provided a smorgasbord of opportunities for worshipers.
But this mixture of religions in the market place was not only a pagan phenomenon. Early Christians do not seem to have been shy about opening a church in the same neighborhood as a pagan temple. In the third century Syrian city of Dura Eurpos located on the Euphrates River, archaeologists have uncovered more than thirteen different temples. If you walk the streets at the western edge of town you pass by a number of pagan temples or shrines as well as a Jewish synagogue and a Christian house church. Consequently, when Christianity came to town the religious marketplace was already very crowded. Religious pluralism typified all ancient cities and Christianity did not step into a religious vacuum waiting to be filled. Christianity was one among many competitors vying for attention and support.
The religious setting of the ancient world also impacted evangelism. As noted above, it does not seem likely that the first Christians in Thessalonica initiated a missions movement to spread the gospel. On the contrary, the troubles they encountered at home probably kept them preoccupied. Besides, the church was still very young and still in need of learning much about the gospel, as Paul himself acknowledges in 3:10. Yet, word about what was going on in Thessalonica spread to the surrounding area. Their "turn from idols" to worship God (1:9) seems to have been enough to get the attention of a lot of people. Their life style was radical enough that they did not need to advertize it. People seemed to notice. Moreover, considering the religious market place of the Greco-Roman world, there was no need for them to go outside of their own city, they were able to be very effective in their own location. They were salt and light within their own community.
In a globalized world, missions no longer require us to move to a foreign land. In previous centuries it was possible to never encounter someone from another people group and culture. Now, it is almost impossible not to encounter someone who is different from us racially, ethnically, religiously. This means that for many of us the opportunity for missions exists right where we live. The concentric rings can start in our own cities and neighborhoods. The gospel "splash" happens where we live.

CLEVELAND, OH (10/18/09) - Host, Harry Boomer takes a look at same sex schools. His guests famed Glenville Coach Ted Ginn, Sr. and eleventh grader Robert Richardson talked about the need for and the benefits of a single gender school.
Coach Ginn, who also heads The Ginn Academy, said there is a need for boys to be in an environment that caters to the needs and interests of boys in particular. That a single gender education setting gives boys a chance to develop in ways they can't and don't in a mixed gender learning classroom.
Richardson agrees saying that girls can be a distraction and that the one on one tutoring is very helpful to him and the other boys at Ginn Academy.
Ann Klotz, Head of School at Laurel School for Girls talked about in a single gender education setting every opportunity is afforded to girls without distraction.
Girls at Laurel School are center of attention and in such a setting they are not afraid to speak up and stand up and be seen as smart and capable. Girls as a consequence of being in an all girls school don't have to be concerned about impressing boys and that they excel in their studies when given the right learning environment.

text: I bought this from Brian at bestbassgear about a month ago (great guy!) for my Zon sonus 5/1. I tried it out for a day (fits perfectly in the zon route) and then ended up trading my zon for an iamp 800, so I took it back out. I paid 109, I'd sell it for $80 shipped (as long as I can ship USPS priority mail to your address). I'm looking for some emg soaps for my modulus to replace the barts that are in it now. If by chance you have a pair that would work, or even a single emg 40 p5/cs/or dc that you want to trade lets make a deal! pm or email for more info or best offers. - (paypal preferred)

Marblabout is an amusing Marble-Game stimulating parallel thinking.
You control the movement of the marbles by operating gates and junctions.
The goal is to steer as many marbles into the green gate as possible.
Good tactic and quickness are required for that task, because the green gate moves around the playing field in regular intervals.
You can gain a lot of points if you focus on many movements simultaneously and think a couple of steps ahead.

The heavy retail promotions of Cyber Monday and Black Friday are behind us, but make no mistake: That was just the start of the holiday shopping season.
For all the hype about the days following Thanksgiving, some of the busiest shopping days of the year will come in December. And things like discounts, promotional coupons, and free shipping will continue to be dangled out there by retailers.
A sign of the times: On Cyber Monday this week, Toys "R" Us showed lots of its discounts continuing through Dec. 3.
"We're seeing dozens of outstanding store-wide discounts that feature free shipping once you hit the minimum spend," says Brent Shelton of FatWallet.com, a website designed for consumers to find shopping deals, in an e-mail. Users of the FatWallet website can often get additional cash-back rewards on the purchases, he adds.
And many stores are offering cash back when you buy a gift card (here's a link via FatWallet).
To make the most of available deals, retailing analysts say several other tactics help:
- Keep an eye on your favorite stores, by signing up for e-mails or following the company on Twitter or Facebook. Use any promotional codes they offer.
- Don't be too distracted by the deals, though. Keep focused on your own shopping list, not what the stores are pushing.
- Use websites like CouponCabin.com, Couponology.com, or RetailMeNot.com to lower the cost on your desired items.
- Remember that, if you can wait, some big discounts come after Christmas. The caveat: Those are take-what-you-get sales, as the hottest-demand items may no longer be in stock.
The promotions are all part of an intricate dance between retailers and consumers. Stores want to make profits, but they're also competing fiercely with one another for the business of wary and deal-savvy shoppers. The economy has yet to stage a strong recovery from the recession that ended in 2009, leaving many people worried about job security and high debt loads.
By early reports, the post-Thanksgiving kick-off to holiday-season shopping was strong.
IBM Smarter Commerce, a tracking firm for online commerce, says online sales shot up 18 percent on Cyber Monday, compared to a year ago.
And a National Retail Federation survey conducted by BIGresearch found that a record 226 million shoppers visited stores and websites over Black Friday weekend, up from 212 million last year. Even before Cyber Monday's online promotions, some 38 percent of total weekend spending came from online purchases.
This doesn't mean consumers will spend that strongly throughout the next few weeks, however. Economists and consumer experts say the mood remains one of caution and strategic buying when prices seem best.
"We still don't have an economy or a job market that's inspiring the type of confidence people need to really let loose," Greg McBride of Bankrate.com said in a blog post on Monday. "Wages have been stagnant and household costs have continued to inch higher, so there's less discretionary spending power."
An index of consumer confidence rose strongly in November, the Conference Board reported Tuesday, suggesting that consumers have lost some of their summer gloom just in time for the holiday season.
The Retail Federation has forecast overall sales this season, as Christmas comes and goes, will be up a modest 2.8 percent from last year.

Regarding Prosper Rocher Brewery. B.F. Alley's 1882 A History, Tuolumne County, California, Compiled from the Most Authentic Records notes in passing in the section discussing social progress in Columbia that the Columbia Brewery and Syrup Manufactory, owned by P. Rocher and Company, had advertised in the Columbia Gazette in February, 1854. This, then, would be the first brewery in Columbia, alluded to in the second sentence of the marker. The fire of July 10, 1854 destroyed most of Columbia, including this first brewery. The site of the second brewery, built 1856, is actually much further from this marker than the site of the first brewery, which would have been less than 4 blocks away.

Aug. 5 — Players of the game Hex: Shards of Fate infringe patents underlying the Magic: The Gathering fantasy-themed game, and Hex's developers are contributing to and inducing that infringement, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.
On Aug. 4, the court allowed Wizards of the Coast LLC to assert indirect patent infringement charges related to the massively multiplayer online trading card games.
If the case proceeds, it could also test the patent eligibility of online games under 35 U.S.C. §101, a defense Hex developer Cryptozoic Entertainment LLC has raised.
Board game patents have been upheld as articles, but not for "games defined as a set of rules."
Online versions of games lack the physical characteristics of articles, and the parties would have to argue whether the digital representations of those articles are ineligible "abstract ideas."
Alternatively, the case could wind up focused on Wizards' trade dress infringement claim, because the patent at issue has already expired and Hex has yet to be rolled out to a mass audience.
Wikipedia reports 20 million Magic players as of 2015. Hex, started by Magic enthusiast Cory Jones and essentially funded by a Kickstarter campaign, is still only available in a beta test version, with an official launch planned later this year.
Wizards filed its first complaint in May 2014, alleging copyright and trade dress infringement as well as direct patent infringement.
U.S. Patent No. RE 37,957 covers both the card game itself and methods of playing it.
Wizards' August 2014 amended complaint addressed Hex's motion to dismiss, but otherwise kept the same claims.
The '957 patent expired even before Cryptozoic filed its response a month later.
"Fearing competition in the trading card game industry, and frantic about the loss of its monopoly position due to the expiration of its patent two months ago, Wizards seeks to eliminate Hex: Shards of Fate through litigation rather than fair marketplace competition," the response said.
Cryptozoic denied "direct or indirect infringement" and argued that the patent claims were invalid, including as unpatentable under Section 101.
The parties parried over disclosure of the identities of Hex users, and their purported settlement allowed Wizards to amend its complaint one more time to assert inducement and contributory infringement theories.
Cryptozoic still fought Wizards' right to make the amendment, but the court's Aug. 4 decision favored its filing on all relevant factors.
The court gave Wizards two weeks to file the second amended complaint. It dismissed the copyright claims—without opposition by Wizards—in the same order.

The ninth studio album from Calexico, The Thread That Keeps Us is a timely snapshot of the Arizona-bred band: a family portrait capturing their stylistic variety and unpredictability while still finding solace in limitless creativity. In bringing the album to life, vocalist/guitarist Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino found a spiritual home in unusual surroundings—not in Arizona, but on the Northern California coast in a home-turned-studio called the Panoramic House. Built from debris and shipyard-salvaged timber—and dubbed "The Phantom Ship" by the band—the grandiose house and its edge-of-the-world-like ambience soon made their way into the songs. The specter of California also had a powerful effect: as both dream state and nightmare, its infinite duality is mirrored in the music, giving Calexico a new direction and new edge. With less polish and more grit than ever before, The Thread That Keeps Us both honors enduring traditions and reveals Calexico's confidence in songwriting, ultimately setting a whole new standard for the band.
On the making of the album, Burns says, "There's a little more chaos and noise in the mix than what we've done in the past." Although that chaos has much to do with "where we're at right now as a planet," it also echoes Calexico's dedication to constant experimentation. "Whenever we're writing and we come up with something that feels too familiar, someone will end up saying, 'That feels good, but let's keep going and see what else we can uncover.' It's been really important to the arc of this band's evolution for us to always keep on trying new things."
Julia Jacklin grew up in the Blue Mountains, NSW. As a kid, she sang. First classical music, then pop-punk tunes in a high-school covers band. By the time she moved to Sydney in her early 20s, she'd cobbled together sketches of her own—observational folk songs laced with a melancholic ache, but buoyed with a wry humor and Jacklin's rich, distinctive voice.
Fleshing them out at sporadic DIY shows and songwriter nights around Sydney, Jacklin collected a band of friends and headed to New Zealand to record with Ben Edwards (Marlon Williams, Aldous Harding, Nadia Reid). Three weeks later, she returned home with her debut album Don't Let The Kids Win.

Elizabeth – white cardamom is nothing but green cardamom whose pods have been bleached!
There are plenty of sites repeating the news, but not much about the frog itself, beyond the basics that it burrows and lives in cardamom plantations.
The best way to ensure using really strong cardamom is to buy it whole, shuck it out of the pod, and grind it yourself – that way, if you don't use as much ground cardamom as we do, you can always have it fresh and strong.
In my ideal universe, all sweets would contain cardamom.

Justice Reinvestment
From 2000 to 2010, Oregon's incarceration rate doubled at a rate three times the national average, increasing the state's biennial corrections budget by 40 percent, to more than $1.6 billion. In response to this rapid growth, the bipartisan interagency Commission on Public Safety was convened to analyze state corrections and sentencing policies. The commission's recommendations became the foundation for House Bill (HB) 3194, known as the Justice Reinvestment Act, which the Oregon Legislature passed in 2013. HB 3194 made several modest sentencing changes and created the Justice Reinvestment Grant Program with the goal of reducing prison populations, reducing recidivism, increasing public safety, and holding offenders accountable.
Justice Reinvestment is Oregon's proactive approach to spending resources more effectively by controlling prison growth and investing the avoided operational prison costs in the state's local public safety systems. In the 2013-15 biennium, $15 million was distributed among all 36 counties to begin their Justice Reinvestment programs. For the 2015-17 biennium, the grant program was funded in the amount of $38.7 million. The 2017-19 biennium the Legislature approve $40.1 million to be allocated to the grant program.
Prior to the passage of HB 3194, the April 2013 corrections forecast estimated that Oregon should plan to house 15,706 inmates in state prisons by July 1, 2019. The latest forecast, issued April 2017, calls for only 14,867 inmates by that same date, a reduction of 839 inmates. As a result of the slowing growth of the prison population, Justice Reinvestment is projected to result in more than $250 million in avoided costs for Oregon by the end of the 2017-19 biennium. Of those avoided costs, $140 million are attributed to delaying the need to build a new male prison facility in Junction City until late 2025. Other avoided costs include $52 million in the 2017-19 biennium from avoided Department of Corrections (DOC) operational costs due to housing, feeding, and supervising a smaller incarcerated population.
Program Goals
The Justice Reinvestment Grant Program is administered by the CJC and requires a data-driven approach to (1) analyze criminal justice trends to understand drivers of local prison use; (2) promote the effective implementation of investments that increase public safety and improve offender accountability; (3) measure the impact of policy changes and reinvestment resources; and (4) tie results to future funding. Proposed programs should be based on existing research and evidence-based practices.
The purpose of this grant program is to provide funding for counties to plan, implement, or expand initiatives that meet ALL four goals of Justice Reinvestment:
1) Reduce recidivism through evidence-based practices;
2) Reduce prison populations for property, drug, and driving offenses;
3) Increase public safety; and
4) Hold offenders accountable.

Meet Sandy Ryza (@SandySifting), the newest member of Cloudera's data science team. See Sandy present at Spark Summit 2014 (June 30-July 1 in San Francisco; register here for a 20% discount).
What is your definition of a "data scientist"?
To put it in boring terms, data scientists are people who find that the bulk of the work for testing their hypotheses lies in manipulating quantities of information – AKA, "San Franciscans with calculators."
About what parts of the field are you excited in particular?
The proliferation (or "Cambrian Explosion", as Josh Wills would say) of tools and frameworks for munging and analyzing massive data. A few years ago, we really only had MapReduce for dealing with data at a large scale. Since then, a bunch of players have written engines that can handle more of the data transformation patterns required for complex analytics. I think eventually the market will need standardize on two or three, and I'm curious to see how it plays out.
When it comes to datasets, I'm always trying to find time to play around with traffic data. CalTrans releases the measurements they collect from loop detectors on freeways all over California every 30 seconds, so that's my go-to whenever I want to try out a new tool or technique.
You previously worked as a software engineer (and are an Apache Hadoop committer). How are the two roles different?
At Cloudera, "data scientist" is a much more external facing role. We don't have massive data problems of our own, but our customers have a huge variety. I get to spend time understanding these problems, helping out with them, and thinking about how to make our platform a good place to solve them.
That said, my job is still very heavy on the engineering. I spend half of my time contributing to Apache Spark and some more of it writing code for customer engagements. It's hard to get away from distributed systems over here.
Josh Wills says data scientists would be more accurately called "data janitors". Do you agree?
At this point, thanks to the insistence of Josh and others, I think the statement that data science boils down to a bunch of data munging is mostly an accepted truism. But this fact is probably just a stronger endorsement of the term. Anybody who's done "real" science knows that it's not exactly about flying around, splashing nature with elegant statistical sprinkles, and "deriving insights". (Not that I've done any real science.) If data science is 20% statistics and 80% engineering, and science is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, I'm just happy I get to save on my deodorant bill.
You're presenting at Spark Summit 2014. What are your topics, and why should people attend?
I'll be giving a couple talks. One is about Spark-on-YARN: a deep dive into how the Spark and YARN resource management models intersect, along with some practical advice on how to operate them on your own cluster. The other is about Oryx, MLLib, and machine learning infrastructure. I'll be talking about what it means to put a machine learning model into production and our plan to base Oryx, an open source project that combines model-serving and model building, on Spark's streaming and ML libraries.
What is your advice for aspiring data scientists?
This might apply to any job, but I think a good data scientist needs to work on being a good translator and a good teacher. Besides memorizing obscure R syntax and trying to convince their superiors that implementing a Dynamic Bayesian net is a good idea, a data scientist spends most of their time striving to understand problems in the language of the people who have them. For a statistical model or data pipeline to be worth anything, its creator needs to be able to articulate its limitations and the problem it solves.

The 2012 Point in Time Count (PIT), conducted by the CT Coalition to End Homelessness (CCEH), will focus on the homeless children, families, and individuals that are sleeping in shelters. The PIT will take place on Wednesday, January 25, 2012.
The data gathered from CT's 2011 Point in Time Count (PIT) of homelessness was released last month. The PIT data showed a 37% increase in unsheltered homelessness from 2009 and an 8% overall increase in homelessness since 2009. 2011 also saw an increase in emergency shelter use from 2010. Family use rose 15% and children in emergency shelters rose 16% from 2010 numbers.
There full brief can be found here.
More data from Connecticut's 2011 PIT count is available in this fact sheet published by CCEH.

While sitting at my desk yesterday, I spotted a beautiful juvenile buck out my office window. As he walked around the side of the house, I grabbed my camera and had the perfect vantage point out our bonus room windows, above our garage.
Look at the cute little horns!
I've never seen this many male deer together before. The family that has been coming by a couple of times a week usually only has two bucks. I wonder if these are the same ones, or a whole different group. Either way, I appreciate them trimming our weeds, at least until we get around to landscaping our backyard!
Except, that is, when they venture toward my hosta I have planted near our fire pit. Those are off limits, but the deer scurried off toward the greenway behind our property when I went outside to shoo them away from my plants.
Wait, why was I just longing for fall earlier this week? I need to soak up all of this greenery while I can! Although I bet our new yard is going to be beautiful when all of these trees start turning fall colors.
I've probably said it before, but our backyard, and the wildlife that walks through it, is truly one of my favorite things about our house. And one of my favorite parts of living in North Carolina!
Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend! Is anyone planning to get out of town this weekend? I'm definitely planning to soak up some more nature over the long weekend. And I'll be back next week with a recap of my primal/paleo healthy eating efforts, with some recipe reviews, since by then I'll have made it thorugh two weeks going low-carb.

All the months of planning and preparing and choosing little gifts for everyone that mean something to them and just when I'm about to cross the finish line the unthinkable happens. I was so looking forward to a visit from my good friend and her lovely 5 year old twin girls, thinking we'll relax and catch up, eat mince pies and have a little drop of gin, paint the girls nails and help them make cards for 'mummy', the unthinkable was a nasty dose of tonsillitis which really knocked me out. No sniffles, no cough just the most awful sore throat and swollen glands and a temp of 40c.
The visit was quieter than planned but a nice relax and two days on, the antibiotics are doing the trick and even though talking is still really painful I'm feeling more human and hope to be back in the swing of things tomorrow (miracles do happen). The only bonus was that lovely hubby, Frank, made all the Christmas phone calls to family and friends tonight so that tomorrow night is total relax and unwind before the big day. This was a first! but he felt so sorry for me he offered and I very quickly croaked 'yes please'!
Some food prep (quite a lot actually) tomorrow, a couple more bits to wrap and that's it all done and dusted! lots of baking this week for other people but tomorrow is for us, mince pies and a tiramisu for Christmas day, some sausage rolls for tomorrow night and also cooking a large piece of gammon tomorrow which will be finished with a muscovado & mustard glaze. Also going to prep all the veg for Christmas day, sprouts (we love them!), I cook them with chorizzo and chestnuts, parsnips which will be roasted in goose fat with the potatoes and carrot & squash mashed with butter, cream and lots of black pepper. The Christmas pudding and cake are made and our lovely friend Lisa provided a fab hamper of home made goodies including lovely chutney's, jams and my favourite chilly jam. A lot for one day but its always a lovely day, we are sharing it with friends who are coming for the day with their beautiful little girl and another good friend and good neighbour are popping in so all in all it will be lovely. We'll be skyping all the family in Ireland in the morning and thrn speaking to our grand sons to see what Santa brought, so exciting for thr little ones!
Hope everyone has a really lovely time and a great relax. Happy & peaceful holidays! Mars xxx
Here's a couple of pics of what I've been doing.............

Hi Von. I also chose Karekare beach. I chose it because there are some really big waves there. Keep on working hard.ReplyDelete
Kia ora Von,ReplyDelete
It was so nice to see you today at St Pius X! I hope that you will enjoy all of your prizes. You did such a great job with the programme! I particularly like this post because you explained clearly why you chose Karekare beach. I, too, would choose the beach as it a stunning place to visit. The black sand is unlike anything that I have ever seen before and the cliffs that border the beach are really dramatic. In the middle of the winter it can become quite cloudy and misty on the beach, giving it a really mystical feel.
I really hope that you and your family are able to get out to Karekare one day for a yummy picnic!
Rachel :)

Prerequisites to spiritual growth, true responsibility, what's needed for rapid consistent spiritual growth, and your Priorities.
During a lifetime, people can go through many changes, spiritually, physically and mentally/emotionally. Like life, our choices also often has its ups and downs. Like an addict who is in recovery for a time, or "falls of the wagon" another time, consistency is not usually a human characteristic. Spiritually speaking, for a while, some may live more selfishly, then they may be more generous or unselfish for a period. Some spend time spiritually or personally growing, then spend time degenerating. But in all cases, there is an "averaging" of all of that. A place that is between our extremes, that is a center-point or balance point.
Most people who believe in an afterlife, including heaven or hell, deal with the same issue. Where are you going to end up after all the swings your life takes in one direction or another. Even those who believe in reincarnation can understand how variations of the above can go on lifetime after lifetime – making two steps forward, one step back, or one step forward, two steps back, etc.. Amongst those who do make progress in spiritual growth, it is usually slowly – over lifetimes. Every once in a while, someone decides to really "go for it", and take a "fast track" to spiritual growth. Some make good progress, some slip and fall, some (the fewest), make it all the way "home" (to God/the Universal Spirit).
Just as in school, there are classes that are prerequisites to taking more advanced classes, life has its prerequisites also. Most importantly, so does spiritual growth.
For those who have decided to take the "fast track" to a spiritual life and returning to a life of serving God, there are prerequisites. It is the same for any true spiritual path. Because ultimately, all true paths lead to the same destination.
What are the prerequisites? Things like being flowing, humble, willing to do anything it takes to be a better person and return to God. Here are a few specifics:
Dave's Top Ten List of Spiritual Growth Prerequisites: (OK, there's not ten – but I'm not Dave either)
1 – Humility
2 – Wanting/using constructive criticism and using it to become a better person
3 – Being flowing/tolerant of the paths and choices of others, without letting them take advantage of you (I.e., don't be "a doormat")
4 – Taking responsibility for everything you do in your life, and the results of your thoughts and actions
5 – Mastering your "physical affairs" (you know, getting out of the child or "bachelor" mode, and doing a good job with laundry, dishes, cleaning, work, etc.)
List of Requisites for Deliberate Consistent Spiritual Growth:
1 – Soliciting constructive criticism
2 – Accepting the constructive criticism you get, positively.
3 – Applying the constructive criticism – using it to change and grow
4 – Thinking of others instead of thinking only of yourself (I.e., caring/compassion)
5 – Giving. Switching from the self-centered polarity of wanting and taking, to the spirit centered polarity of giving and self-sacrifice
6 – Self discipline
7 – Devotion to God/Universal Spirit, and helping others
8 – Unswerving, rock solid commitment to your goals
9 – Listening to and using constructive criticism from any source, whether it's a "wise man" or a "fool" (who happens to have something you can learn from).
10- Emulation. Rather than being envious or jealous of those you admire, working on making the things you admire in them, qualities you have yourself also.
First let me qualify what I mean by criticism. We're primarily talking about getting criticism from those who want to help you change and grow in positive, constructive ways, not those trying to control you, or bring you down for their own selfish or negative reasons. Those with a negative/selfish agenda, do NOT have your best interests as their goal. Sure, you can learn from anyone – IF they really have something valid to offer you. But when someone is really against good things you have chosen for your life, what will they be offering you as "criticism"?
We recently had a reader who asked for criticism from those he knew were antagonistic towards him and his chosen paths in life. They thought he was crazy and irresponsible for wanting to become a better person, being unselfishly compassionate, unselfishly angry or intense with those who need and deserve it, etc. They wanted to dissuade him from his freely chosen beliefs and path. Of course, they'd already made their views known, and criticized him from their negative point of view. That's not what we're talking about here. In fact, that is a selfish-trick. The selfish separate self is hoping that they WILL dissuade him, so it can retain dominance and control. I'm not saying a person should ignore criticism from anyone (other than someone you know has nothing by negative intent and negative input) – most people should be allowed their opinion in case there is something valid there to help you become a better, kinder person. But when you know it's from someone with a negative agenda, "where they are coming from" needs to be taken into consideration. Plus you don't need to "solicit" such criticism, they will try and force their opinion onto you. And as I have often said to those who would criticize my choice of my spiritual path, or other aspects of my life which are part of or reflections of that, "I welcome your opinion, but only ONE time, anything beyond that is nagging, being overbearing, and trying to force your beliefs and opinions onto me." And I will walk out on anyone who doesn't respect my choices, and nags me with their opinions. If you indulge such people, you are not just wasting your time, you are buying into their ploy and draining your energy and thoughts into their "black hole", which is partly what they want – at least it is "a beginning" for their ploy, and gives them hope that they can confuse and ensnare you. And your selfish separate SELF is more than happy to oblige.
As soon as it becomes clear that anyone trying to persuade you with a negative agenda, they shouldn't be listened to. Giving energy to them is just what they want. And "feeding" them by entertaining their "opinion", is nurturing their lower nature, nurturing darkness. It harms them as well as you. That is not being "compassionate", that is not being kind, or unselfishly loving. It's like the beggar story in the book again – if you give to someone who might use your gift for drugs, and ends up killing someone during a robbery, or harming themselves, is that being kind and unselfishly loving? NO. And if they "take you in" and get you to listen to them, and make yourself vulnerable to them, is that being unselfishly loving? NO.
Now, more about true constructive criticism.
Criticism is like someone holding a mirror in front of you. It can show you yourself – what is really there as opposed to what you like to think of yourself as. If you don't like what you see, you may hate the mirror/mirror holder. If you like what you see, you will like them. If you don't like what you see, but wanted to see it anyway so you could change yourself, you won't hate or be angry with the mirror or mirror holder. If you lack humility, you will avoid the mirror, or be in denial of what you see (often goes along with being angry at the mirror, hating the mirror, or being angry or hating the person holding the mirror). But the mirror can be a great tool! In fact, it is THE greatest tool for change, and you should be grateful for it, and those holding it up to you. If you are willing to see a flaw, a blackhead, etc.., you can use the mirror to help yourself "fix yourself up" – i.e., correct yourself. In that sense, criticism can be likened to a sculptor's chisel that someone is handing you – you can use to sculpt your being into what you want it to be, and keep sculpting until perfection (or as close as you can get). Unfortunately, most people throw the chisel at the person holding the mirror!
Humility is the attitude it takes to really want, take, and apply criticism. It is what someone feels, and how someone acts, who has truly realized that their SELF is their own worst enemy, that they are their own problem, that they need to change, that they really want to change, that they need a mirror, want a mirror, and will use a chisel if given the opportunity. It is truly realizing that your perceptions and opinions are limited and may or may not be correct. It is "being an empty cup", in order that you may be filled (a full cup cannot be filled). It is "becoming like a little child" in a sense.
Those who start some sort of spiritual path (such as joining a monastery or becoming a minister/priest in a seminary) may think they have humility or believe they have realized they know little and need to learn and grow. They may say they have it, or they say they don't. They may even ask for criticism. But the first time they get it in a way that really shows them their flaws, they usually do some or all of the following – they deny, they resist, they fight it, they defend, they run, condemn the critic and refuse to use the chisel, often "throwing it" back at the critic in anger, telling them they need to chisel themselves instead.
Even people who have dedicated their lives to caring for others, may do this to some extent. I have long observed when something is brought up to someone about a trait, or incident in which they are flawed, or behaved in a flawed manner, they often instantly get defensive, without even thinking about it, and make themselves "confused" about the issue. They get evasive or beat around the bush about it. They find it painful, and are "hurt". They may eventually work through this of course, see their flaws, apologize, do an affirmation to confirm their positive commitment, and every once in a while, change. But while "under fire" they may still be defensive and confused, even though the matter is perfectly clear and obvious to everyone else. Of course, "everyone else" may do the exact same thing when their time comes. As with the next, and the next… And these are with people who have totally dedicated themselves to seeing their flaws and made a commitment to self improvement. So for those who aren't, it is even more difficult.
As mentioned in ancient teachings, it's important to give and get the most clear, unselfishly loving, unbiased criticism possible. Of course, that also presents the biggest threat, and most painful to the self, and self-ego. It is after all, essentially attacking the walls of separation. Those who give criticism from an unselfishly loving place, don't like getting a negative response, but they care more about you than they do having to deal with your anger, negativity and hatred. So they deliver the truth, sometimes without any sugar coating, and sometimes intensely (depending on the blockage and resistance that exists towards accepting the truth).
Which brings us to our next issue – kindness and compassion. Most people have no idea what it's like to get their self-ego "busted", until it happens the first time. They swear they understand, swear they know what it's like, but they don't. It happens every time. And the first time someone does get the painful burning truth brought up to them, is the first time you see how they are going to react.
What they really expect kindness and compassion to be, is someone being "nice" to them, soothing and coddling. But until selflessness is achieved, people are ruled by, and think they ARE, their selfish side. But they don't see it that way. So what they expect, is for a kind, or compassionate person to be nice, coddling, soothing, and in agreement with, their SELF. And if and when that doesn't happen, and instead, they get the unvarnished truth and criticism, they point their finger at the mirror/mirror holder, accuse them of being unkind, uncompassionate, not spiritual, not of the light, and throw the chisel at them.
Quite some time ago, I realized that the "Lost Teachings of Atlantis" book has very few examples of the harsh, intense experience of having one's flaws pointed out in a real monastic situation, as I did. It only infers it. Thinking about why, I realized that since it no longer bothers me to be criticized, intensely or not, my memories didn't include relating how intense and painful it was for me at the time, and I didn't focus on writing about those interactions. I wrote mostly about the "situations" I was placed in, that I got negative about. Perhaps I'll have opportunity to change that sometime in the future. But believe me, I had very negative responses and avoided seeing the truth about myself until I "got" humility. I was defensive, was in denial of the truth of what was being brought up about me, and blamed others for being unloving, uncompassionate, untrue, etc.. And the thing is, with life itself, if you don't listen the first time, and learn your lesson when it's being presented mildly, you will have to learn it the harsh way, or the hard way (rejecting it and then later getting it through the school of hard knocks). And that wastes a lot of time, even if you DO eventually learn. I was scared of people who brought things up to me until I got humility and really started wanting to change. I was being "drug over the coals" frequently, ruthlessly (my perception) criticized and humiliated. Then when I changed, "people changed". But was it really them that changed at all? No. Just me.
Humiliation. An awful word isn't it? One with a terrible negative connotation. Humility, nice connotation, smiley faces. Humiliation, bad connotation, "frowney faces". But what's the diff? Notice the strong similarity in the words? Well, humiliation is what happens when you aren't humble, but are forced into a situation that breaks down your self-ego. Sort of (but not quite), forced humility. It all depends on your perspective. Whether or not you are positive or negative, and whether or not you are wanting to be humble – for real. How can you "humiliate" someone who is humble? Call them a _____! No, seriously. You can't humiliate someone who is humble. You can't offend or humiliate someone who has transcended SELF. You may illicit a very intense response (for you), but they simply don't care anymore about defending their self – because that's not what they are anymore, that's not "where they come from" or how they live anymore. So there is nothing to defend. They are a fool for God. But it is ooohhhh so easy to "push buttons" on those who think highly of themselves, and want to avoid the truth, the light, selflessness.
Take the example of Jesus getting intensely righteously indignant (an enlightened, loving, compassionate being's version of anger), in response to the money changers in the Temple. He actually got physical. Now, should we say that Jesus was unloving, uncompassionate, and not of God because of that? Or realize he was that way all the time in the face of selfishness, defensiveness, etc.. But how do you think the money changers felt? They were totally humiliated, let alone thrashed, both self-ego wise, and physically. I'm sure they thought, felt, and accused Jesus of being unkind, don't you? You are no different, and that's the way it feels to finally really get your self-ego exposed. It is after all, an attack on the selfish separate self, and until you get beyond it, that's who and what you feel and think you are – so you feel like you are being unjustly and wrongly attacked, and defend your self. Unless you've at least achieved the level of humility it takes to want it, take it, see it, and use it. And you have the commitment to see your self through times of extreme struggle with your self.
Here are a few things I hear sometimes, that are examples of being unflowing and "stuck" in a self chosen life.
First, people often say they don't have time for prayer or meditation because they don't have the luxury of living at a monastery, and/or, have jobs and a family that take up so much of their time, that they have no time left. Bull, to number one and two. I worked harder and longer hours than ANY of you with jobs and families, and still took time out for quieting my mind and reaching out for God. I made time. So can you. It's a matter or priorities, not time.
I have lived in Hawaii a number of times, and during those periods, I'd constantly meet people on vacation who said, "You're so lucky to be able to live here". It always amazed me, because it wasn't a matter of luck at all, just choice, and in my case, also Universal will. So I'd say, "You can live here too, but…shhhh, here's the secret… you can't live here unless… you move here.", and they'd often get a puzzled look.
This is the story of the beginnings of the famous Shaolin order of monks (made famous by the great spiritual TV show "Kung Fu" – the original, not the spiritually lacking "Kung Fu, the legend continues"). It's a story about the kind of dedication and commitment that is a prerequisite to true spiritual growth.
Long ago, a student of Buddha, who had since become a true teacher, visited the capital of China. He was famous, had developed a great new martial art, and both the royal politicians and the Buddhist monasteries wanted his blessings, teachings, and martial arts instruction. They gave him the red carpet treatment, and showed him all the Temples and shrines they'd built to honor Buddha. Then he was asked what he thought of their impressive projects. He was appalled, and told them the buildings were abominations, reflections of their lack of "getting it". He said Buddha didn't want to be worshipped, he wanted people to change, to find freedom, compassion, enlightenment, etc.. Buddha, as did this monk/teacher, wanted people to live and learn from the teachings, not idolize them. Thus, he went to a cave in the mountains, and refused to teach until he found a worthy student. Monks would come frequently, asking him to be their teacher, but he would send them away, telling them they didn't have what it took to learn. One day, a monk went to see the teacher, and cut off his hand in a gesture of self sacrifice, discipline, and commitment. This person he took as his student, and that student became the first Shaolin monk and master. Now, that story is to make a point, don't anyone go doing stupid mutilations to their body in an attempt to make themselves humble or something like that. That was for that one man, that time, that place, and that situation. But humility is humility. There are many ways it shows when you have it, as well as with dedication, discipline and commitment. There are indications that you have have become an empty cup, and there are indications that you are dedicated and committed – giving and helping for instance. All of the "prerequisites" can be demonstrated, and that means far more than just "lip service". Not that verbally affirming your goals and ideals isn't good too – but it isn't enough. And none of you are really going to make a big dent in spiritual growth, until you "get" those prerequisites.
The following is NOT addressed to those who are truly trapped by circumstances. There are those in the world, who just can't make a good living by honest means, because of severe disability, third world situations, or other factors. In fact, there are people who'd be thrilled just to be able to raise enough food to feed themselves or their families. There are increasing numbers of family farmers who lose their farms after generations of working the land, and they work 16 hour or more days.
When I first learned the next concept, I was asking a dear friend and mentor about certain men I had noticed who were sort of "perpetual bachelor boys". These guys were a bit sloppy, lazy, irresponsible, "spacey", etc. – you know, the type that most women don't want to date, let alone get attached to. Interestingly, these "perpetual bachelor boys" seemed to make little spiritual headway also. They also tended to "sleep in" rather than getting up on time. Their overall condition, and spiritual condition, involved being so lazy as to not even have their Earthly affairs in order. Having the basic physical aspects of your life together/mastered, is a prerequisite to getting your spiritual affairs in order, and making real spiritual growth progress. It's so true, I see it all the time.
Mastering your Earthly physical affairs doesn't mean making millions, driving a BMW etc. But it does mean having enough drive to keep yourself and your dwelling clean, hold down a job, pay your bills, take care of your family if you have one, etc. – you know, basic adult responsibility stuff. You see, changing yourself internally and the demands it makes on a person's use of free will, discipline, and personal sacrifice are so extreme, no one can expect to really walk a spiritual path, and achieve spiritual growth, if they haven't even mastered that basic discipline of making a living, keeping clean clothes, etc.. If they are so lazy, undisciplined, or uncaring that they don't even survive in a physically decent manner, how can they progress in something far more difficult, such as the sacrifice and self-discipline required by true spiritual growth? It's very true. Of course, that doesn't apply to those who are destitute because of legitimate reasons beyond their control (although there is still karma involved in that one – but that's another issue). But as we speak, even in this dim economic environment, in the "Western world" at least, and many Eastern or third world counties, there is ample opportunity to shape one's life into anything you choose, and no excuse to be "poor" (unless you have taken a vow of poverty deliberately, or there are true extenuating circumstances). People can use "green energy" to further spiritual causes, and there is no excuse not to maximize that potential. And if you have taken a vow of poverty because of laziness, not idealistic devotion, that is unacceptable (of course, you wouldn't likely have a computer or be in touch with us if that were the case).
The change from a selfish separate self, to an unselfishly loving being, is a 180 degree, total turnaround. It is changing from a consciousness and way of living that is "take" oriented, constantly wanting and seeing everything in the light of "how does this impact me", and making your self look good, to a consciousness and way of living that is "give" oriented, constantly wanting and seeing everything in the light of "how does this effect them", and not caring how you appear to others. That also obviously involves changing from working hard and hustling for your self (or being lazy), to being the hardest worker anyone's ever seen, for others, the greatest good of all and your own spiritual growth.
I'll try to give specifics. Even if you get to the point where you really want to give, and think of others all the time, until you are enlightened and just a channel for Good/compassion, you can give in ways that are detrimental to others. And again, being a giving person doesn't mean being a doormat or "nice" all the time. Giving to others for their spiritual growth for instance, as described above, can be very intense and seem harsh – but if that's what they need, you have to do it if you care about them, even if they or others judge you as being cruel and not spiritual. But you must be of the right consciousness, and coming from the right, caring place.

Responsible for planning, scheduling, designing, technical review, contract administration, and inspection of reclamation facility and conveyance improvements. Participates in long-range developmental projections as required for budgeting and funding operations. Supervises personnel in a manner consistent with utility policies and procedures.
This position will lead Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority through the final stages of a Consent Administrative Order (CAO) by managing various collection system and facility projects that will mitigate wet weather overflows. Among the notable projects:
Alternative Project Delivery for Improvements at Fourche Creek Water Reclamation Facility
o LRWRA is currently in the preconstruction phase of a $10 million asset renewal effort at the facility. Leadership is being sought to finish the preconstruction phase (design) and initiate the construction by the first of 2019 in one of the first and certainly the largest wastewater Alternative Project Delivery projects in the state of Arkansas.
Construction Administration for the High Rate Filtration project (Parallel Treatment) at Adams Field Water Reclamation Facility
o LRWRA has just commenced construction on one of the most innovative projects for the wastewater industry in the state of Arkansas. Upon the completion the facility will have the have the ability to treat up to 94 MGD of wastewater continuously – a wet weather peak flow – after treating 16 MGD on an average day. The new plant configuration will have high rate filters "paralleling" biological treatment to achieve this new hydraulic capacity. During average dry days, the filters will be used in front of disinfection to enhance that process. Ultimately, the filter system will factor into the anticipated water reuse system under consideration.
Construction Administration for the 36th Street to Mabelvale Pike Outfall
o Completion of this project will be the final piece to a complex of projects that will address nearly one-half of the remaining wet weather overflows for our system. The
$12.2 million, two-mile project through the interior of Little Rock will provide hydraulic relief for the existing infrastructure during rainfall events and convey flow to our Peak Flow Pump Station.
Jamison Road Pump Station Improvements
o The 25-year-old pump station needs renewal and reliability upgrades.
o LRWRA is looking to reallocate generator assets to "right size" our back up power needs
at plants and pump stations.
Collection System Rehabilitation Projects
o Perhaps the core of our efforts to mitigate wet weather overflows and sustain our infrastructure is the collection system "rehab" projects. The focus of these projects is to reduce infiltration/inflow while addressing critically rated structural deficiencies which could lead to bigger issues.
Concurrent projects with CAO:
Water Reuse
o LRWRA produces a commodity which could be developed into a valuable resource for our community. We are leading the state in water reuse effort. State regulatory agencies are meeting with LRWRA to develop a vision and direction for the future of reuse.
o Again, LRWRA produces a commodity that is of value to our community. Beneficial use of these items need to evaluate and direct the utility
o Power costs are the second highest cost for any treatment facility. LRWRA is looking to develop solar power as a means to reduce power costs and create a better value to our ratepayers.
o LRWRA is looking for a better means to dispose of brown grease within the city.
