Text: Mark 8:27-9:1
Focus: True fulfillment is found in following Christ who, ironically, denied himself.
Function: To describe the futility of trying to save our lives and to describe the way of the cross as the life that leads to resurrection.
Part 1 What does it mean to be the Christ?
I remember that Sunday night at Winslow we were singing Just As I Am without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me. It was August and over 20 years ago and I had decided to be baptized. Of course I waited until the second verse not that I was shy, I just thought it good form the first verse is just warm-up the thinker verse. But I had been thinking about this for some time. So I would step out into the aisle when we sang ...
Just As I am and waiting not ... well that wasnt quite true. I had waited all through the sermon for this moment. I knew before the sermon that I would be doing this, but I thought it good form to listen. I thought the preacher might like to think someone responded to his sermon. So in the second stanza I stepped out into the aisle. It was like stepping out into space! Youre just out there by yourself. I was ready to ease back into the comfortable block of pews even if I was on the front pew always reserved for this purpose.
After our song, the minister and I stood before the congregation. He talked a bit and then placed his hand and my shoulder and asked Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? I know my response was positive, but I dont remember my exact words, whether I just said yes, or I do or if I got fancy and said I do believe Jesus is the Son of God. But after I answered I heard an Amen and we went off behind the baptistery to put on our baptism clothes as someone started singing Trust and Obey.

But after I answered I heard an Amen and we went off behind the baptistery to put on our baptism clothes as someone started singing Trust and Obey.
Do you remember your good confession? However your baptism took place at camp, at church, in a river at some point someone asked you Do you believe Jesus is the Song of God? And because of that confession of faith you were baptized. Thats a common story share. And I wonder if any of us really understood the gravity of that confession? Did we grasp the significance of what we were affirming? Did we realize that when we agreed that Jesus was who he said he was, we also agreed that we were who he said we were? When we gave our good confession, we werent just making statement about who Jesus was we were making a statement about who we were, and whose we were? Did you know that then?
I dont think this undoes my confession or anyone elses, but I am sure I didnt grasp the full significance of what I said that Sunday night in August. Oh I believed it for sure and thats important, very important. Without belief there is no confession. And I knew it was right but as much as I had thought about it, I had no idea of the total implication of what I had just confessed and how that confession would change my life forever. And if that is true in your case, then were in good company. Peter was one of the first to give the good confession, and even he did not understand the full meaning of what he was saying...
Read Mark 8:27-33
When Jesus asked his disciples But who do you say that I am? Peter must have thought, I know this one. He spoke up Youre the Christ! Peter was right wasnt he? Well of course he was. Jesus was the Christ. Peter understood that Jesus was who he said he was. But he didnt understand what that meant for Jesus and for him.
Thats clear when Jesus begins to get very clear about what it means to be Christ. That it is a path of suffering, rejection, execution and then and only then resurrection. This doesnt seem right to Peter, so he attempts to debate Jesus on the meaning of Christ. Peter has stepped out into space. Hes out there all alone and he needs to get back into the block of disciples that are following behind Jesus not standing out in front of him trying to tell him which way to go.
I remember back at Winslow how one of our ministers used to respond to the confession folks gave. Bro. Parrish called it the good confession. And he always blessed the one who made that confession and would say They crucified Jesus for saying that, but you say it that you may receive eternal life. I always wondered Why does Jesus get crucified for saying that, but not us? Well, I was probably thinking too hard about something very beautiful and poetic that our preacher was saying for the moment but according to Jesus we all get crucified for confessing that Jesus is Christ.
Part 2 What does it mean to be a Christian?
Jesus has our usual order of worship turned around. We offer the invitation, and then those who respond are asked to give confession. But here Jesus has just asked for a confession, and then he offers the invitation.
Read Mark 8:34-38
Who wants to follow me? he asks. He wants those who accept this invitation to follow to know what they can expect. If being the Christ means taking up a cross, then so does being a Christian. If you dont understand that, then you have stepped out of line behind me and you are not thinking the way God thinks.
Following after Jesus means denying self & taking up the cross as a way of life.
The Paradox: Whoever wants to save his life will lose it. Whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. This is why theres a cross. Our lives have to be lost so that they might be saved. When I hear this verse I often wonder if I am doing enough to lose my life. Do you ever think about that? I wonder if I need to sell my possessions or leave my comfort and go to the mission fields. Do you ever think about that? I admit Im not sure I understand that burden of losing my life. I dont know what it means to be threatened with persecution for my faith.
But I think we all know something about the burden of trying to save our lives From our earliest years we are trained to provide for our future to save our lives. We must obtain the best education and seek opportunities. We should invest what we have wisely. Like a precise chemical formula, we must be careful to add the appropriate amount of risk to the appropriate amount of stability to achieve maximum benefit. The years we spend in school and business are our only opportunity to provide for our future as well as the future for our family. The prize is retirement. But even in retirement we know something about the burden of saving our lives. Health becomes more of a concern. Are we eating right? Do we exercise like we should? Did we elect the right people to secure our benefits? Are we seeing the right doctors? And this is not unlike the burden of saving life that parents feel concerning their children. Are we doing all we can to ensure the health and education of our children? Are they safe? Are they being taught right? If the children are our future, then are they capable of saving it?
And what if we give ourselves completely to our children or spouses? Perhaps this is what it means to lose our lives and yet save it? What if we give ourselves so completely to the needy and the church? What if we live for others? Unfortunately, we may discover that the emptiness remains. Spouse, children and even church work can fail and disappoint us. Here is a most horrible emptiness, for we thought that the emptying of ourselves would result in fulfillment through the lives of others, but we may find we just feel sucked dry. Indeed, we know something about trying to save our lives.
Pre-occupation with saving life is a sure way to lose it. Fulfillment is found in denial. Why? Because we must lose that which distracts and deceives. In order to truly live we must be who Jesus says we are, not who we want to say we are. And the only way to be who Jesus says we are is to say who Jesus is.
[I remember trying to work in my Fathers garage and he would try to be patient and show me how to paint and saw and do other things. But I was there just to have fun, I didnt want to mature and so I would get ahead of him and start doing my own thing. My Father said, How can I show you the right way if you want to do things your way?]
Theres a cross in the way to becoming who we truly are because we often arent mature enough to do things the right way. We are only interested in doing things our way.
The cross is tough for people whove been conditioned to glory in individual excellence and self-satisfaction. We are permitted to think that the world can be custom made to fit everyone of us. In a land where you can even copyright your personal, unique cell-phone ring the language of a cross and denial is tough to hear.
Yet, how will find our life, how will we save it even if we could adjust the entire world to suit our preferences? I recently heard of a minister who was fired. I thought it was sudden, but I found out that he didnt meet with his elders for over a year. He felt that they had nothing to offer him. I cant imagine such a way but then again, I can, for it is the way of self. That way leads to worse than being fired. It can lead to loneliness, despair, estrangement, isolation. But the way of the cross, as difficult as it seems, leads also to resurrection. Before there can be a resurrection, there must be a death. The way of the cross does lead to the tomb but it is the empty tomb.
Our attempts to save our lives to preserve them, to immortalize them and give them meaning are futile because we just cannot control life to that degree. In Eden we were tempted to be God and we found out we arent qualified. (v. 36-37) we just cannot come up with the means to secure our lives. Not as individuals, not as a nation, not as a race.
We need an alternative way. We need to step out of Gods way. We need to get behind him and see where hes going. Looks like hes going to a cross!
We find meaning and fulfillment - We learn who we are only by discovering who Jesus is. Our response to the invitation must match our confession. (Galatians 2:20)

Holloway, awaiting trial, faces new child exploitation charge
A former Hoyt resident facing a November trial on child sex charges was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of child pornography, according to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse.
Following a Wednesday afternoon traffic stop in Hoyt, Leon Holloway, 52, of Onaga was arrested on a charge of exploitation of a child based on an investigation by Morse's office into Holloway's alleged possession of child pornography.
Morse said Holloway was taken to the Jackson County Detention Center with bond set at $25,000. Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller said Holloway was freed on bond over the weekend.
A four-day trial for Holloway is currently scheduled to begin Monday, Nov. 27 on charges of rape, indecent liberties with a child and two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy. He was scheduled to appear in court Friday morning for a pre-trial hearing on those charges.
The charges Holloway faces in the November trial were filed in May of 2015 and stemmed from alleged incidents involving a girl younger than 14 years of age that reportedly occurred between April of 2012 and March of 2015 at Holloway's residence in the Hoyt area.

Traveling through famous places
Our team has completed several projects and our time in Ishinomaki to perform tsunami relief. We left Saturday morning for Hiroshima where we stayed the night. We met up with old friends of our missionary leaders for dinner after visiting the A-bomb dome (below) and museum to remember the destruction of the nuclear weapon uses in WWII. After a nights rest we were able to see Hiroshima castle (above) and Hiyaijima (temple island with he famous red tori gate) before catching the bullet train (and several other trains) to Ube City. This will begin a week of "regular" Japanese ministry. Pray for boldness and understanding as we face the mighty language barrier!

More on Musical Legends Performing Together...
The subject of such great soloists performing with one another crossed my path this morning; and so I thought that it would be fun to impart more of the same to you, in the event that you are not aware of the following defining performances:
There is a recording of a legendary Russian violinist named Nathan Milstein playing a Brahms Sonata with a rather well-known pianist - his name, Vladimir Horowitz. This was recorded around mid-2oth century, and can be found. Be prepared for many discoveries!
Try to picture the following:
Leonard Bernstein, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Vladimir Horowitz, Yehudi Menuhin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Isaac Stern - all in one room; all at the same time.
This was a singular occasion celebrating the 85th year of Carnegie Hall.
Imagine -
Bernstein conducting Beethoven;
Horowitz and Rostropovich playing Rachmaninoff;
Horowitz , Stern and Rostropovich playing Tchaikowsky;
Fischer-Dieskau singing and Horowitz playing Schumann;
Bernstein, Stern and Menuhin doing Bach;
All of the above standing shoulder-to-shoulder singing Handel -
You can be witness by getting hold of "Concert of the Century" CD.
As for video:
How about a filmed tidbit of Jascha Heifetz, Gregor Piatigorksy and Artur Rubinstein, in Rubinstein's living room, merging in a Mendelssohn trio? Nothing at this level may ever be replicated again.

Silver Rocket presents:
plus the Silver Rocket club.
Proper British, American-influenced indie-rock. Like Idlewild when they were more edgy and less mainstream. Like …Trail of Dead when they were new and exciting. Why these guys aren't stars yet is beyond me.
'The five-piece have a commanding stage presence as a group and it's difficult not to give them your full attention. Background music it aint.' – NARC
'Their mathematically induced alt.rock keeps the spirit of At The Drive In and yourcodenameis:milo very much alive. What they also add is a youthful vigour and appetite for twisted guitar hooks.' - Manchester Music
Melodic post-rock with riff driven harmonies that develop into guitar driven epics
"With guiding contours of narrative structure, HREÐA construct nourishing musical highs and lows like mini-rockist motion pictures." – Drowned In Sound
"In the World of post-rock, Hreda manage the tricky art of being both pensive and cathartic. Their guitars have obviously had a good massage from Steve Albini and they know how to work the hypnotic angle to a tee. The slower sections of their set give the odd feeling of being underwater, while the more textured blasts are akin to being brought upwards to glide low over the ocean. No, scratch that Hreda ARE the ocean; a large, exquisite, glistening expanse that is all too easy to get carried away with." - Nightshift 2007
Post-hardcore from Leicester, sounding like Part Chimp sitting down to tea with Fugazi.
"Death Of London are effortlessly tight, astonishingly loud, and the only band on the bill that make us all long for a circle pit – the band hang together as tight as a vice. Death Of London are one of only a few bands in Leicester who sound like they mean it, and sound like they know what they're doing. This is loud, but it's also smart – and that's what makes it so perfect." – Rockfood
Theo is a one man band .... guitars + loops + drums = sound. Managing to create complex, math-rock sounds all on his own, Sam is like a one man Battles.
"Theo, the work of one Sam Knight, is one for the math rock fans. Taut, chugging guitar loops layer up with frenetic tapping patterns that interweave in spiralling complexity before near sub-atomically precise, powerhouse drumming clatters and builds each song into juggernaut of riffs and rhythms. To achieve something like this recorded is one thing, but to see Theo perform live is quite another as each song blurs into the next and the dazzling guitar and drum acrobatics leave jaws sagging on the faces of all who bear witness to the talent on offer. – God Is In The TV
More post/math-rock, like Don Caballero but with more pop sensibilities
"85 bears, who hail from the Eastern side of London town conjure up a sound that recalls the Scenes of early 90's Kentucky, mid 90's Chicago and late 90's Pennsylvania. Driven by beats that sound like the spawn of a John Bonham/Damon Che love child, the rumbling but melodic basslines carry along the angular guitars. Although vocal-less, this goes totally unnoticed with the intricacy yet subtle dynamics of their 'tunes'(not songs!)" – RemoteGoat.co.uk
After that, shake yr booty to sonic youth le tigre fugazi ride breeders mudhoney dinosaur jr lightning bolt battles jesus lizard dead kennedys pavement melvins arcade fire pixies shellac strokes peaches the smiths the cure buzzcocks slint interpol ramones my bloody valentine nirvana random pop part chimp bloc party sleater kinney the fall joy division joeyfat hot snakes lords rogers sisters pj harvey les savy fav superchunk white stripes talking heads von bondies the rapture bikini kill yeah yeah yeahs led zeppelin q and not u ac/dc dfa1979 guns'n'roses and, oh you know, that kind of thing.
More Silver Rockets:
Friday April 17th at the Buffalo Bar - Big Joan, Lazarus Clamp, Herzoga and Former Utopia.
Friday May 15th at the Buffalo Bar - I Shot The Deputy takes over while we take a well earned 'holiday' at ATP.

Why People Think Resources Are A Good Idea
Tips For A Successful Home Improvement Project
Many who have an apartment or condo want to give it a home improvement. If you do, then the tips listed in this article can help you in maintaining your dwelling while saving big sum of money in the long run. Apart from that, this is going to help you increase the worth of your house. To know how you can improve it, it will be ideal to keep on reading.
Tip number 1. Tackle important projects – a few of the home repair projects are so urgent and if you do it right on time, it is going to prevent major damage in your place. If you ignore it on the other hand, you may potentially end up paying large sum of cash to fix it. So when you see that something is wrong in your house, do immediate action to fix it.
Tip number 2. Consider hiring professionals – even if you prefer to do DIY projects, you must accept the fact that not all home improvement projects or repairs can be done by you. You must know your limits as there are repair jobs that need home repair contractors. You probably have to start small if you're a beginner and if the project is calling for experts, you should not think twice in doing so.
Tip number 3. Hone your skills – it doesn't matter if you are working on big or small project, you're sure to learn home repair skills. You may take advantage of some available sources online and begin with small projects. As time goes by, you'll be more capable of handling bigger projects too.
Tip number 4. Invest in the right set of tools – of course it is impossible to perform all home improvement jobs using your bare hands. You are going to need to use essential tools at your disposal. This is going to help you doing both major as well as minor tasks. To give you an example, when doing plumbing related jobs, you need to do basic plumbing tools in your tool box. So to do such job wonderfully, you have to buy common repair tools for it.
Tip number 5. Selecting a remodeling contractor – finding a reliable and experienced contractor is so important for this job. Hiring one who has the experienced and skills can literally help you save significant sum of money throughout the process.
By following these simple home improvement and repair tips, you will be able to work on projects a lot easier while being able to save money as well. On the other hand, just remember always to avoid working on something that you don't have much idea of as it will just cost you thousands of dollars in the end, better leave it to home contractors instead.

Travis has recently started writing articles for an online parenting magazine. It's not yet gone live, but in the meantime, I'm posting his articles here. Welcome to the Dad's Life!
Here we go again. My wife is now 26 weeks pregnant with our second child, our second boy, and I already feel bad for the little guy. Not even out of the womb and the kid is getting neglected by me. I admit that I don't give him near the attention I gave to his older brother at 26 weeks. I'm an oldest child myself, and for years I've dismissed second child complaints as nothing more than childish whining. But as much as it pains me to admit it, I've come to the realization that all these gripes from second children are, in fact, based in reality.
At this point during my wife's last pregnancy, I was pouring over the books with her. Our favorite being What to Expect When You Are Expecting. We took regular pictures of her belly's expansion with the discipline of scientists. Every craving, every cold, every bodily change was chalked up to the pregnancy and analyzed with care. But now, for this second time around, a cold is just a cold and we take pictures when we think about it. More often than not, I'll suggest that we do a belly photo shoot, and my wife will give some excuse that she hasn't showered yet or whatever, and the pictures aren't taken.
Last time we were putting the finishing touches on the nursery by week 26. The green paint still in our hair, the cute animal pictures hung with care. This time? Well, we bought our son a big boy bed and moved the crib into the guest bedroom. No painting, no furniture, nothing new for the second child. We're more practical this time. We know one of us will be charged with the overnight shift, and if this second child happens to sleep during those wee hours, we want a bed to try to catch a few zzzs on ourselves. No more trying to make due on the couch for us. The second child doesn't get a nursery. He gets to hang out in the guestroom. A room made for us, not for him.
Like I said, I feel bad for the kid.
I know our second child won't get the attention of our first. His first smile and laugh will be cute I'm sure, but he can't help not being the first baby to reach those milestones in our family. We'll probably be holding him back from crawling and walking rather than encouraging him. We know now that the better he moves the harder our life becomes!
Yet, there is something that this second child will have that gives him an edge in life. He gets an older brother, a sibling, a playmate right out of the gate. I can already see that my oldest child is under stimulated some days. But our next child will have someone there to imitate, to learn from, to laugh at. He might not get all the attention he deserves, or wants. He may end up complaining that his older brother had it better. But if he's like most second children I know, he'll be better with people, easier to get along with and less demanding than firstborns, like myself. In the end the pros and cons will work themselves out, and regardless, I get two boys for epic living room wrestling matches. And they'll be able to team up on dad.

10:00 AM Setting Up an RPA CoE: An A-Z Introduction
The Centre of Excellence (CoE) is a critical foundational step in any organisation's Automation journey, as it progresses from adopting RPA to chatbots and other wider Artificial Intelligence initiatives.
An Automation CoE enables the optimal adoption of RPA by standardising and industrialising all stages of the Automation lifecycle. It facilitates the management and control of all Automation knowledge and capabilities across the organisation and increases the overall ability of the organisation to rapidly deploy Automation. It also helps organisations navigate through and resolve potentially difficult questions related to the ownership of the RPA program, sponsorship, the role of IT in supporting or managing the program, the operating model of the CoE, governance, risk management, organisational change management, and the associated policies and procedures among others. In this workshop, an expert facilitator will take you through best practice in standing up your own Automation CoE quickly, efficiently, and effectively. You will:
- Better understand how to manage your organisation's RPA footprint
- Learn how to establish a robust governance structure with clearly defined roles and responsibilities
- Gain insights on how to support the day to day operations of a CoE

First up is All Out War's "Assassins in the House of God." Some would say this is one of the band's weaker efforts, but I can't agree. I love everything this band has done - including 2010's very overlooked "Into the Killing Fields." In all honesty that's probably one of their better releases. Anyway, back to the records at hand. This is the first time this release has seen the vinyl treatment.
Record Store Day pressing, limited to 400 copies on pink vinyl.
Next up is Ringworm's "Justice Replaced By Revenge." Ringworm is one of my favorite bands, period. So I'm out to collect any and all of their releases. This marks the first time this has been pressed to vinyl as well.
Record Store Day pressing, limited to 400 copies on white vinyl.
Next up is the second Ringworm LP that was put out by Victory this year exclusively for Record Store Day. The record store my friend went to didn't have this in stock, so I had to scour eBay the week after RSD in order to secure a copy. Luckily I was able to find a Buy It Now auction for $15 - which is how much it was being sold for in stores. Score! Another Victory release that hasn't been released on vinyl until now.
Record Store Day pressing, limited to 400 copies on yellow vinyl.
Lastly is the Poison Idea reissue that TKO put out this year. I don't think anything needs to be said about this band. If you aren't familiar with them and call yourself a fan of hardcore and/or punk, you need to check them out ASAP.
Record Store Day pressing, limited to 1,000 copies on clear vinyl.
Say what you will about Victory's roster at this point, or as a label as a whole. They are finally putting some crucial releases onto vinyl. As long as they keep releasing things from All Out War and Ringworm, I'll keep buying!

I found another picture of my vintage paper flowers. You know the ones I mean, right? The ones I collect that I have loved since I was a teenager?
I have surely written about them many times before!
And yet, here I am again........
This time, they are pictured on the table with these pretty and delicious-looking pastries, in a page out of a vintage Betty Crocker cookbook.
Aren't they fabulous?

Last week I helped host two events. The first in Calgary and the second in Edmonton. The events were held in conjunction with The Alberta Mortgage Brokers Association in an effort to help launch AMBA's new ongoing professional development workshops. I wanted to spend some time discussing some of the challenges that we face as a channel and talk about some possible solutions.
The first 30 minutes focused on the importance of taking action as individuals to ensure that we do affect change. It is all well and good to 'discuss' things til the cows come home but it is all useless unless we actually put some of what we discuss into practice. If you are a mortgage broker reading this I want you to really think about what it is that 'you' can do to make a difference. Often we stand around the proverbial water cooler asking why aren't 'they' doing something about this or why aren't 'they' doing something about that. I want to challenge you to ask yourself what are 'you' doing about some of our challenges.
Ghandi said "Be the change you want to see in the world". Remember, it all starts with you. Change does not have to be massive. Small change repeatedly over time will make a significant impact. Working in the financial world we all understand the concept of compound interest. The same is true for making changes. Making small changes over time equals massive change over time. Start today with something small.
The first part of our discussion focused on what are the top challenges that we face as a channel. We brainstormed for about 30 minutes and then summarized into the top 3 challenges. Below are the top three challenges that we identified in both Calgary and in Edmonton:
- Broker Education
- Standards of Practice are too low
- Consumer Awareness
- Broker Education
- Consumer Awareness
- Standards of Practice are too low
As you can see the challenges were identical in both Calgary and Edmonton. There were some differences in some of the sub-categories under each of these headings. Some of the underlying conversation that got us to those top three included:
- Lack of Financial Experience
- Perceived lack of value of broker channel
- Lack of unity in Broker Channel
- Fraud
- Brokers lack understanding of their value proposition
- Lack of unified message to consumer
- Lack of accountability (Brokerage, Peer and Regulatory levels)
- Uneven playing field (Brokers vs. Branch)
- Lack of training
- Lack of mentorship
- Too many uncommitted brokers
- Lack of product knowledge
- much more…
So the tricky part was coming up with some practical solutions. I asked everyone to try and focus on some smaller things that we could all take away and implement in our business immediately. Some of the suggested take-aways were as follows:
- Let your associations know what types of courses you would like to have available
- Learn to use what you've got
- Become a Mentor
- Get an accountability buddy
- Spend some time each day educating yourself
- Mandatory continuing education
- Give feedback to regulator on what you feel are acceptable standards of education
- Learn what our business partners have to offer (Lenders, Insurers, etc.)
Consumer Awareness
- Standardize the message
- Ensure you know the message
- Get involved with education at the high school level
- Have the conversation with every client (educate 1 on 1)
- Distribute message of broker value proposition via email signature
- Work with associations for larger awareness campaign
Standards of Practice
- Get involved at the regulator level (RECA wants to hear from you)
- Give feedback to your associations
- Hold your brokerages accountable to their hiring practices
- Make mentoring mandatory
- Mandatory continuing education
It was great to see so many mortgage professionals come out to talk about how we can improve our channel and continue to grow. My hope is that everyone who attended will take at least one step forward to improve themselves or our channel as a whole.
What actions are you taking to make sure that you are part of the solution? Share with us in the comments below.

My first reaction was beautiful shot but spoiled somewhat by the frame which give it a sense of finality and that there is nothing more on the sides.
Looked at it again and it was not the frame but the abrupt vignetting.
The foreground vegetation works perfectly to provide immense depth to the photo. I agree with Bobo about the vignette.
Last edited by Mike Buckley; 30th March 2013 at 06:21 PM.
Nice image. I don't think the vignette spoils it but it does obscure the 3-d effect of the background formation. Was this image cropped at all, if it was, was there more of the formation to the right?

Abbott's 2013 political experiment has failed. In essence, it involved presenting a set of unbalanced books to the Australian public, with a promise to balance them again after a Commission of Audit had told his government what to do.
Well, the Commission gave its report, the government adopted some of its suggestions in the 2014-15 budget, and all hell broke loose.

Do you think 'homesickness' is inherent - in our dna since birth to want to return to the roots of our heritage?ReplyDelete
In our family, the language was French, and my mother insisted that we speak it at home so we would not forget it.ReplyDelete
I think we are bound to our roots in so many ways, through stories, customs, food, music, language. It's part of how we became who we are.ReplyDelete

and so it keeps unfolding.ReplyDelete
the homesickness - living countries away, so distant from your own culture - it is something i have been forgetting in regards to some personal issues. i'm going to try to be more mindful. i remember living without home country and it is no easy task. plenty of riches to be had but so many heartaches, as well.

suspected gang member Robert Mayberry picked-up in Atlanta for distribution of heroin
Robert Mayberry picked-up in Atlanta for distribution of heroin. He'll have to come back to Cincinnati to face charges here. Police are taking a more aggressive approach to gang activity. They're hoping this latest arrest shows gang members even if they run, eventually police will catch them.Suspected members of a gang called the Taliband saw a show of force from police-- rounded up with cameras rolling. Officers hope it sends a message. "If you are out here involved in gang-related behavior not only will the individual that committed the offense be targeted, but that entire group will be targeted." Tuesday, the long arm of the law reached from Cincinnati to Atlanta and tapped suspected gang member Robert Mayberry on the shoulder. Police say the man who went by the name "One Eyed Kenny" in Avondale streets was picked up by U.S. Marshals. Officers credit a tip from Sofast and the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence program, called CIRV.
"It's a collaborative effort of not just Cincinnati police, but also federal marshals, prosecutors, probation officers. We're bringing in the whole gamut of law enforcement judges." Officers believe Mayberry was the head of the "Grimmie Gang". He fled Cincinnati when police arrested most of the gang about a year ago. Officers recently arrested suspected gang member Kenneth Milton and eight others for violent crimes in Kennedy Heights and Pleasant Ridge. The youngest member of the Coleridge Boys is actually an 11-year-old girl. "However, it definitely sends a message that we need to be doing more reaching out to the children in the community and letting them know that this is definitely not the path to go down." The 11-year-old suspected gang member is accused of breaking into a couple's home and threatening the homeowner with a gun in her waistband. Sergeant Danita Kilgore says in her experience finding a gang member that young is atypical.Numerous members of the Grimmie Gang have recently gone to trial for murder. Many of them agreed to plea deals that sent them to prison.

We've heard the saying "the future that liberals want" in memes and social media, usually as a response to social issues in the United States. But what about the future that millennials want? There is an interesting phenomenon in this generation that represents a powerful global trend — millennials may enjoy the city, but they love the suburbs.
According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau statistics, 25- to 29-year-olds are about a quarter more likely to move from the city to the suburbs as vice versa; older millennials are more than twice as likely. This shift also indicates millennials' readiness for the future of technology. In the future, drone delivery will be commonplace — it is something Amazon is already funding.
"Millennials make up about 10 percent of the nation's homeowners. Nearly half of those were in the suburbs in 2016, 33 percent in urban areas and 20 percent in rural places," according to Zillow's Group Report on Consumer Housing Trends. The report used U.S. census data and a Zillow survey of more than 13,000 home buyers, sellers, owners and renters." This means that even within suburban homeowners, homes in urban areas are outpacing homes in rural places.
Why Are Millennials Choosing the Suburbs?
Even with the rising costs of housing and college tuition, why is it that millennials are choosing the suburbs? The answer to this question may go back decades. "Between 1978 and 1990, there was a 32 percent increase in births, so now there are 32 percent more young adults in the city," Dowell Myers, professor of demography and urban planning at the University of Southern California told Time, who has argued that the phenomenon of city-loving millennials is mostly a myth. "That upswing has led people to think that there's a real change in taste, when there's just a lot more young people born 25 years ago."
Of millennial buyers who moved in the last year, 64 percent stayed in the same city, and just 7 percent moved to a different state, the Zillow study found. The cost of relocation within the same city is high — let alone another state. This makes it hard for wanderlusts who crave travel and exploration to do so.
"The Harvard study found homeownership rates for millennials were 5 percent higher in metro areas where median home prices were 20 percent below the national median. The idea was that if millennials could afford to buy a home, they would, and did so in low-cost markets such as Birmingham, Detroit, Minneapolis and St. Louis," according to the L.A. Times. According to this study, when millennials do in fact find a home, they are so enamored with the cost of living that they choose low-cost housing; the B-side to this is that many of the locations for these houses are in bad areas riddled with underfunded schools, high school-to-prison pipelines and economic embarrassment.
But nationally, homeownership isn't looking too great for millennials, compared with past generations. In 2015, the homeownership rate for the under 35-year-old population hit an all-time low of 31 percent, according to the study. That's down from 43 percent in 2005, the Harvard study said. Well, where are millennials living if not in houses? The answer is cities — but it's not by choice. As a result of the 2008 financial crisis and its slow recovery, millennials are 'stuck' in cities. Declining wages and salaries, the closing of coveted industries and businesses and poor job prospects even for college graduates are all contributing factors to the 'boxing in' of millennials in cities.
As millennials grow older, they experience more economic freedom and find that cheaper options for living are available in American suburbia. This, however, indicates a "hollowing out" of sorts for cities culturally and economically. With the new appeal of the suburbs, cities are going to have to find a way to keep their young talent for the future.

Am I the only one who sees the absolutely ungraceful, undynamic and downright stupid design of this supposedly 'official' version of Godzilla (see photos above)?? Now the last Godzilla movie (2014) was supposed to be a response to that awful Godzilla (film) that came out in 1998. That version looked simply like a giant lizard, not the classic Godzilla we all knew and wanted to fear from the 60's films. This modern Godzilla looks like a damn couch potato with that thick throat leading to that big torso and belly. He's not fearsome at all. What's he going to do, sit on the other monsters??? He looks fat and overweight BECAUSE one of the most fearsome aspect of a monster --his jaw and teeth are all too damn small. This is a DESIGN FLAW and should never have been approved. It's the equivalent of BAD CASTING in a movie. Like Tim Burton hiring Michael Keaton to play Bruce Wayne / Batman way back in that first Batman movie. It was a selfish decision and Hollywood is full of selfish decision making people. So now the next Godzilla {'Godzilla: King of the Monsters] flick will soon be headed our way and I still can't understand why oh why no one has said to the producers and directors to slim this so-called 'monster' up. He's not fearsome at all. He's a big fat joke! Let's have Godzilla just stomp around all day looking for junk food instead of fighting other monsters or the U.S. Army. That would be more honest you Hollywood clowns.

SAN FRANCISCO — California officials say a hot tub's faulty wiring is to blame for one of the state's most destructive wildfires, a blaze that killed four people and destroyed more than 1,300 homes last year.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection released a detailed report Wednesday into the cause of the 120-square-mile wildfire that devastated a large portion of rural Lake County and parts of Napa County about 90 miles north of San Francisco in September 2015.
Investigators say the hot tub wiring wasn't installed in accordance with building codes.
Lake County District Attorney Don Anderson told the San Francisco Chronicle that he's considering whether to file criminal charges.
The fire was the state's third-most destructive and forced the evacuation of thousands of residents and businesses.

So, here I am writing about another friend who has met an unfortunate end by his own hand. Whilst my friend Brian from Aberconwy MIND was probably self inflected (no one has told me exactly what happened but he did tell me that things were not ok with him just before his death), Dave Smith's death appears to be sucide according to friends' comments on Facebook. To us his friends who were in school with him, this is hard to come to terms with. My last e-mail contact with him in July of this year talked very positively about the up and coming school reunion and coming to Rhos-on-sea. What happened in the short time since to have changed so much in his life I haven't the foggiest. I remember Dave being one of the most laid back of individuals, appearing to have not a care in the world but also intelligent enough to secure a 'golden ticket' apprenticeship with the Post Office, now British Telecom of course, when he left school, which is more than I did! A lot od us went for the apptitude tests during the last few weeks of our schooldays at Ysgol-y-Moelwyn (I went to a church in Colwyn Bay I recall, maybe Dave did as well) and he was one of the minority who managed to get in. He moved to Chester and as far as I know that was where he had been living.
I knew Dave from way back. We were together at Maenofferen primary school and I remember an incident with him near the end of the final year there. He threatened to beat me up over something (no idea what the reason was) and it wasn't a pleasant experience for me. Going into the new school at the end of that summer of 1974 I thought he would cause me more trouble. He didn't. Dave did not mention it or used it to make life uncomfortable for me, proving to me it was just one of those thngs which happen in a million schoolyards all over the world but has no real meaning nor nasty intent. I had no trouble from Dave in all the years whilst at Ysgol-y-Moelwyn, in fact he became a good person to know and a very funny guy. I was friends with Gwyn Williams Jones in the early years of Moelwyn and Dave was good friends with him so I would see him about, playing cricket and football behind the old forum. I also remember receiving from Dave a souvenir from the 1974 World Cup, which Dave's Dad had gone to, which he gave to a lot of his friends. Do any other friends remember these souvenirs?
After my family moved to Llandudno in 1982 I lost touch with most of my friends from Blaenau, including Dave, though I remember bumbing into him in ASDA Llandudno just after we moved. I believe Dave's family also moved to this area around this time. In recent years he would e-mail me through Friends Reunited, interested in any news of a possible reunion of his old schoolmates, an event that had been talked about for some years and ironically has been echeduled for April 2010. In fact, according to one of his friends I ws talking to recently from Blaenau Ffestiniog, he was so looking forward to going to it next year. He had been asking me since 2007 about this reunion, so proving that he couldn't wait to see his friends again. I for one was not only looking forward to seeing him at the reunion, but also here at Rhos where his dad lives.
Going through his page on Friends Reunited reveals a man who thought a lot of his days back in Blaenau. His photos are a reminder for all of us who knew him of the halcyon times that were our schooldays. Despite the angst of adolescence they really were halcyon days weren't they.
Let's hope that this coming reunion will kick start a continuance of contact between the friends we once knew and to remember those who we have lost, and to support those that need us in times of despair.

Though as many as 1,500 people are expected for the six-day gathering, no one even seems sure who will be there, beyond the activists, scientists, farmers, anti-capitalists and local residents who have already publicly RSVP-ed.
It's irritating for the 600 police charged with protecting one of the world's biggest airports from disruption at a time of heightened terrorism concerns - not to mention the 1,800 extras who will be drafted in next week. And it's confusing for BAA, which on top of all its other woes believes Heathrow will be disrupted in one of the busiest weeks of the year.
This, though, is the new face of protest in Britain - somewhere between a DIY Glastonbury and Seattle, a rave and a seminar, with as broad a cross-section of people as can be found in Britain. The camp will be somewhere with no leaders, no named groups, no constitutions, and no chairman, but where people organise themselves, with all decisions made by consensus. Together they will erect a tented sustainable town, set up wind and solar power systems, plumb compost toilets, schedule 100 workshops, provide catering and music, bars, shuttle buses - and then break off to hold a day of mass protest that will involve direct, and quite probably illegal, action.
The catalyst was last year's first climate camp at Drax power station in Yorkshire, when at least 600 people spent a week plotting a new utopia. They failed to close Drax, Britain's biggest power station, but it took thousands of police officers from seven forces to stop them.
The camp spawned other radical climate change groups around Britain. Every month since, meetings have been held to discuss the next action.
As well as young activists concerned about climate change, the new movement is trying to harness the increasing anger of people who live near Heathrow. Linda McCutcheon's motivation for attending the camp is pretty simple: if Heathrow is granted its third runway, her house and the village, Sipson, where she has lived for 41 years, will be gobbled up by asphalt.
The camp will attract the establishment, too. "I'm going to get the message to BAA that opposition to airports is anything but fringe," says Susan Kramer, Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park. "It comes from mainstream law-abiding residents who have suffered long enough. My constituents are not 'nimbies'. They live under the flight path.
"We've been protesting about Heathrow expansion for years. We have lost any faith in consultations and any expectation that our voice will be heard...We say enough is enough."
At a meeting this week in a church hall in Harlington, near the airport, 50 local residents came to hear what the organisers of the climate camp had to say. Many are members of the No Third Runway Action Group, and were horrified when the organisation got caught up in the fiasco over the BAA injunction against the camp: its chair, Geraldine Nicholson, was named in the original injunction application. Though her name was not on the final document, this brush with the law has left many locals frightened of being associated with illegality.
This has put off at least one activist from attending altogether: Father Phil Hughes is the Anglican chaplain at Heathrow airport and the vicar for nearby Harmondsworth parish. "I think the Camp for Climate Change makes a valid point, and I am 100% against the proposed third runway and further airport expansion, but I believe in peaceful protest and diplomacy and think the campaign wrong-foots itself when it involves direct action. It is totally wrong to attempt to disrupt the operation of Heathrow airport," he says.
So who are these new activists? Penny, an organiser, said: "Some [of us] come out of the anti-capitalist movement, others from the broad green movement. The politics are reasonably anti-capitalist, but there are people with no allegiances, and others for whom this will be a first experience. If there are any [group] ethics it would probably be naming econom- ic growth as the problem with climate change, and a respect for direct action."
It's a new movement, says John Stewart, a veteran road protester who now runs the Heathrow Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise (Hacan), the moderate group of 25,000 increasingly bitter people who live near Heathrow. He was also one of the three men named on the final BAA injunction, which banned him, along with Josh Garman and Leo Murray of anti-aviation group Plane Stupid, from interfering with the running of the airport.
"What is emerging now is similar to the road protests in the early 1990s," Stewart says. "At places like Twyford you had locals who had been fighting a road for years and then they got together with young environmentalists whose concerns were wider. There is this bond which can only get stronger."
For the activists, climate change is absolutely top of the agenda. Muzammal Hussain, 35, in 2004 founded the London Islamic Network for the Environment. He is going to visit the camp primarily, he says, to educate himself and attend workshops. "I think I may attract curiosity as a Muslim at the camp, but environmentalism is crucial to Islamic teaching," he says. "The Koran says that we are guardians of the Earth and have a responsibility to look after it. Many imams have traditionally not quite grasped this, though that is changing."
Dom Marsh, 24, believes the camp will be an opportunity to demonstrate practical solutions to climate change. He is the office coordinator of the Permaculture Association (Britain). From the point of view of the camp, that means promoting non-polluting compost toilets, using bikes and recycling waste water.
"I hope the camp will be a good example of how non-hierarchical organisations can achieve change and a model for living in harmony with nature," he says.
You might think that Cristina Fraser would be put off attending the camp after what happened to her last month. The 19-year-old anthropology student was riding her bike on a cycle track near Heathrow with a friend when they were stopped by police and arrested under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act, which created the offence of collecting or possessing "information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism". All Fraser claims to have been in possession of was an ice-cream recipe, but she was kept in a cell for 30 hours.
"It was terrifying while I was in there," she says. "No one knew where I was. They knew I wasn't a terrorist. They found it confusing. Later they de-arrested me on the terrorism charge and re-arrested me on another."
Mohamed Adow, 28, from Kenya, has arguably been affected more directly by climate change than anyone else attending the camp. He works for the NGO Northern Aid, a Muslim group working with subsistence farmers and pastoralists in north-east Kenya's Mandera district.
"In 2005-2006, the drought killed 70% of livestock in northern Kenya, and now 80% of the 3 million people living in the region are dependent on food aid. It's not a future problem, it is already ruining the lives of the poor people I work with."
Dr Simon Lewis, 35, a scientist working at the Earth and Biosphere Institute at the University of Leeds, will deliver a lecture on climate change. "I think it's important that people get the relevant information and the measured scientific view on what the consensus is, what the remaining controversies are and what we still don't know," he says.
Lewis, who was arrested 15 years ago on another protest, says he thinks direct action can be "totally acceptable", but will wait and see what next week's action is before joining in himself. "All through history people have had to step out of line to gain new rights - just think about slavery and votes for women."

Using religion as a weapon
This movie has some great cinematography. I really enjoyed some of the scenes especially a cottage they have made out of dirt. The story itself is just the same story told through the ages, where people hide behind religion for political gains. I, for one, am glad to have the separation of church and state. I find nothing wrong with spirituality to help live ones life, but people sometimes have hidden agendas of self-interest. Sometimes there does not seem to be compassion and people do not want to discuss things in a logical manner. Luckily for us, juries are not made up of screaming adolescent girls. I enjoyed the people's accents, and although this sounds shallow, I am going to say that I liked that the men had long hair. I am giving this 7 stars because I think that it has an important lesson to us all. Things happen to us all in our lives and granted at times we may want to lash out, but when it comes to other people, we should always remember common decency for others. To not stand up for what is right will only give a person guilt far more damning then to just say what is morally right in a person's heart. Also, that it is far better to show mercy and forgiveness then to be filled with hatred. Go in peace.

AT LONG LAST…what you have all been waiting for with baited breath. MY PSA (Public Service Announcement for getting your innards checked).
Seriously folks…I do plan to show you the pictures, so if this topic turns you off, do sign off now.
First I had the endoscopy. Arrived at 6:30 AM and got taken right back to the procedure room. It is so nice to be FIRST…no waiting, no worrying if the doctor is going to get called out or anything. And, my weight was where it needed to be as I had eliminated the 2 gnarly pounds I previsouly discussed.
One of my greatest assets is the fact that I can fall asleep anytime and anywhere. So they really didn't have to worry about me relaxing enough for the procedure…say the word and I am in my own twilight. But, alas, I do have a mighty fine gag reflex, so drugs were most certainly needed to ensure they would have a jolly easy time feeding the tube down my throat. "Turn on your left side", "Put your head on this pillow like this" and that was the last thing I heard…until DD was making light conversation to wake me up….I actually think I heard myself snore in the middle of all of this…but, I stirred, then drimmeled, stirred again enough to hear that I had a hiatal hernia…a small one…but that I had NOT done any damage to my esophogus from the reflux and honestly, if I lose weight, that will take care of the problem and likely end the need for Prilosec. This is a good thing.
Next up was the colon. How can I count the ways that one can run like a madman for the toilet? Colonoscopy prep is the fastest way I have ever found to lose a good five pounds. Not that I would want to make a habit of strapping a potty chair to my butt, BUT, my God, who would believe so much is still stuck in you? Such a joy that Sunday was…Lilacspecs chatted with her dad the entire time I was trotting back and forth to the loo. Monday comes and back to the same MD. He comes in all ready to go and looks at me and says, "Weren't you just here?" Like, DUH…."I asked if you could do both ends the same day, but nooooooo, could not be done…so here I am yet again for the poke at the bottom end." (Said this with a smile and a laugh as the man was about to invade my butt and I didn't want to make him unhappy.)
Ahem, assume the position once again, get the IV again, go niteynight again. This time it was a little different though cause I FELT IT on the way out. That was wierd, not painful, not even uncomfortable, just WIERD to feel this tube thingy jiggling around where only food byproducts should be. I heard myself say, "oh, I can feel that, I can feel that…uh, I can feel that" and then I dozed back off.
Outcome (no pun intended- HA!), I had several small eraserhead size polyps removed and sent off for investigation. It took a little longer than I expected, but they came back clean (damn well should be clean after I shit myself to death getting ready for this test). All in all, it really wasn't a bad test.
Last, I went to the foot doctor and NO, I do NOT have plantar fasciitis, but I do have some ligament issues on the sides of my feet-lateral faciitis he called it. Basically the ligaments tighten up when I am not standing so that when I do stand up, ZING…the pain just shoots through my feet until the ligaments stretch out. I can do some stretching exercises, eh….but he thought that it would be better to give my feel more support so he ordereed custom orthodics.
So, I THOUGHT I would get to stick my feet in goo for them to take impressions, but, NO…I had to lay on my stomach and they wrapped some kind of plaster around my feet to get the mold! RATS, I couldn't get any pics of the process, just the product. According to everyone, my WEIGHT had nothing to do with my foot pain…WOOHOO for that. I got the impressions done on May 27th…and got the funky inserts a week later….jeez louise…they add an inch to my height! I guess that isn't entirely bad!
I am healthy on the inside, at least my stomach and colon are and that is a good thing. The feet are survivable and I got an inch taller in my orthotic shoes. What more can one ask for??
ALRIGHT, I hear you…pictures, pictures, we want pictures. Here are my latest portraits, for your viewing pleasure!
Now, GO GET YOUR COLON checked! PSA, signing off!

BOSS JON Sharp believes Featherstone Rovers are in good form and still improving.
Rovers recorded a fourth straight win with a 30-10 result at Swinton Lions in the Kingstone Press Championship.
And Sharp reckons his men are clicking into gear at the quarter-way point of the regular season.
"It was a good result for us," Sharp reflected.
"We played some really good stuff. We over-played at times, but it was a really good attacking display and we defended brilliantly."
Rovers led 12-0 at the interval and were 30-0 ahead going into the final 10 minutes before the home team ran in two consolation tries.
"This team we have just beaten have averaged 20 points per game," Sharp said.
"We have kept them to zero for 70 minutes before they've sneaked two late tries.
"They were down to one-on-one misses and you can't legislate for that.
"We scored six tries and had three disallowed, so I was happy with the way we attacked."
Rovers have a doubt over Michael Channing for Saturday's Ladbrokes Challenge Cup fourth round tie at his former club London Broncos.
"He had to withdraw before kick-off with a tight hamstring," Sharp said.
"Will Milner came on to the bench and we had to reshuffle, but the players handled it well."

Frankly, Kathryn Toth does give a damn. About playing Scarlett O'Hara in the sequel to "Gone With the Wind."
Since she was very young, the Newport Beach socialite with the tousled dark hair, the kaleidoscope eyes and the smile that makes even the hardest heart leap out of its pericardial sac has been told she looks like Scarlett, has a temperament like Scarlett's, and should in fact be Scarlett when the sequel to "Gone With the Wind" is made.
Producers Sol Lesser and Mervyn Le Roy, both deceased, put the idea into the former model's head in the early '70s, when talk of a GWTW sequel started to dance around Tinseltown like a hoop skirt at Tara.
And now, "Kit"--a sobriquet that perfectly suits her tightly packaged persona--has decided that the notion is an idea whose time has come. A year ago, a friend gave her a newspaper clipping that said the estate of "Gone With the Wind" author Margaret Mitchell had authorized a book sequel to be written.
