Solace London: The Affordable Label Kendall and Chrissy Are Loving
gyates September 2, 2015 7:00 am
Imagine finding a label whose designs have been worn by everyone from Kendall Jenner to Emily Ratajkowski and look like they could have walked off a Paris catwalk, but without the designer price tag? Sounds like a dream come true – and it is. Meet Solace London, the Brit label that's ruling red carpets and A-list wardrobes alike right now.
Chaka Maxi Dress, £175, Solace London
The brainchild of Laura Taylor and Ryan Holliday-Stevens, two creatives with a 10 year working relationship behind them, Solace has seen a stratospheric rise to the top of the style game thanks to celeb devotees who, alongside Kendall and Emily, include Chrissy Tiegen, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Ashley Tisdale, Lily Collins (and that's only a selection). Now that's what you call a fan club. "We create statement dresses and separates for events', say Laura and Ryan, 'The idea behind the brand is to provide an alternative way to do red carpet dressing – something with more of an edge."

That edge comes in the form of minimalist, structural and graphic but elegant designs – think the dramatic ruffled front of Chrissy's white dress – which sold out immediately but is now back in stock – or Kendall's billowing pink palazzo's. "Our favourite looks this year have been worn by Kendall & Emily", the duo reveal, 'They both looked flawless and embraced the more modern approach to dressing up that we champion".
Olivia Denim Top, £75, Solace London
As if Ryan and Laura's directional take on glamour wasn't covetable enough, the amazing prices only add to the wardrobe appeal. Starting at £75 for a cropped top and going up to £280 for a knockout maxi dress, you get serious bang for your buck as they cleverly use inexpensive but extremely luxe looking fabrics in their designs. For autumn, Tome 8 is Solace's killer collection of dramatic cut out dresses, tops complete with floorsweeping trains and day-to-night pinstriped pieces. Top of our list is the fuchsia version of Emily's culotte jumpsuit and the super-wearable denim peplum top.
So, whether you need a wedding guest outfit, dress for a black-tie do or just want to get a head start on your party season wardrobe, you know where to go. And you'll be in seriously stylish company… | https://www.look.co.uk/fashion/solace-london-the-affordable-label-kendall-jenner-and-chrissy-tiegen-are-loving-54698 | 2019/04/20 00:57:23 | mC4 |

They say everything is bigger in Texas and there's definitely some truth to that statement. The 2016 Lonestar Nationals rolled into the live music capital of the world Austin, Texas (well, Pflugerville, technically) and the scene is absolutely awesome. Its been over 25 years since there has been a national BMX event in the city and the crowds look to be pleased in its return.
Day one of the three day affair was delayed due to the Texas sized wind and rain. Once things got rolling through the action was electric.
Pro Open kicked things off and Answer Rennen's Derik Bergh nabbed the win ahead of some heavy hitters. Arizona transplant Layne Gainer rode flat pedals all day long and was carving up the turns all day long, he threw on the clips for the main and went back to the hotel with 2nd place money. Honorary Texan Juan Marin took the final step on the podium. He rides for Aram Schwinn's Hostile Elite / Driven Tires squad and all those guys and gals get an honorary Texan badge.
2016 USA BMX Lone Star Nationals Day 1 - Pro Open
Elite women was 2 full gates deep and it was a toss up as to who would win it all. Rookie Jamie Windholz looked awesome as she took her first moto win from wire to wire. Come main time though it was all Amanda Carr. The pride of Thailand snapped from gate three and never looked back. The Rift mounted Tangent Cartel squad grabbed the 2nd with the Lituanian Champ Vilma Rimsaite and Arizona's Sabrina Bice rounded out the podium.
Elite Men was lighter than the past two rounds but that didn't mean it was easy. 14 riders including the eventual winner, 2-Time Olympic gold medalist Maris Strombergs, were in the house to entertain the crowd. DK's Barry Nobles looked primed for a podium finish after going 4-1-1 in motos and earning the first gate pick but he got swallowed up by the bottom of the 5-meter hill. The man next to him, Elliot Mcgrath, had a career day and tucked in for the 2nd behind Maris. Box's Kory Cook fought hard for the third an final spot on the podium.
2016 USA BMX Lone Star Nationals Day 1 - Elite Men
31-35 Cruiser was a hard fought battle between Adam Scott and local Austin Tanner. Tanner was rolling the 26" mountain bike and giving all type of trouble to the Okie. Adam is a very savvy racer with years of experience and found a way to hold on for the win.
"Free Lunch" Eric Sweets wasn't giving anything away in 46-50 Cruiser today and laid down his infamous south central pull down the first straight. The battle was for the 2nd and three guys had their eyes on the deuce. George Goodall, now doing it for Supercross, Drew Montley, now doing it for Factory Yess, and Reapor Racing's Vincent Decastro all diced it up but the Georgia local Decastro had the hot line down the dog legged last straight.
36-40 Novice Damon Cuthbert had the course dialed and being a local, definitely has the secret lines memorized. He went on to win and make the big move up to the Inter class for Saturday.
11 Inter Landyn Woolsey got out front in a hurry and the Poppa Wheelie tent down the third straight section left no doubt as to who he was with as they went crazy. This Louisiana boy is well on his way to joining the expert ranks and we hear that he's an expert egg dyer as well.
13 Girls had everyone on their feet as a three-way battle between the Sinclair twins and Skittles Gayheart developed. Skittles snuck to the inside of Jaycie Sinclair at the exit of turn one resulting in Jaycie hitting the deck. Her sister Hailey tried her best to avenge the crash but the colorful SSquared Florida girl was able to escape with a victory.
12 Expert was one of the battles that we've been waiting all day for. The reigning champ Brandon Crain Vs. the Chicago Flash, Henry Chudzik. The Birdman was a little quicker down the first straight and that was the difference maker. Henry hasn't been challenged too much in 2016 but he had his hands full today.
17-18 Expert was a west coast affair between Dustin Hammond and BJ Ensey. Ensey, who is sponsorless at the moment, grabbed the holeshot but left a bit too much room open at the bottom of turn one and Hammond came right on in. As Ensey went into the infield, Vegas kid Makeiva Hopson zoomed by to take the 2nd. Hammond would get the win. | http://www.usabmx.com/site/postings/1411?section_id=27 | 2018/02/20 07:49:49 | mC4 |

He believes that the election of Donald Trump, and the discrediting of Hillary Clinton, were with good reason seen in Moscow as a sweet success, achieved above all with the manipulation of electronic messages. In his view, this mood of triumph was felt not so much because of the policies that Mr Trump would follow, but because his cavalier attitude to the rules of the political game was subverting the American system. As Mr Snyder sees it, Russia finds flawed democracies easier to live with than healthy ones.
‘getting into the heads of Americans and Europeans has become easier than it was during the cold war. The Soviet Union had to offer physical evidence that it was achieving more, scientifically and materially, than the West. But when voters spend hours a day in front of electronic screens, much can be achieved simply by a deft use of the messages flashing in front of them.’
There is nothing new about this obviously. Andrew Foxall, director of the Russian Studies Centre at think tank The Henry Jackson Society, told IBTimes UK that the Kremlin had long nurtured the connections.
“Russia has been cultivating contacts with the UK far right for well over a decade. Since at least 2011, the Kremlin has invited members of the far right to monitor elections in Russia, speak at conferences there, and otherwise undertake friendly diplomatic initiatives,” he said. | https://www.mattdubiel.com/smart-phone-life-hack-for-parents/ | 2021-03-09T10:51:44Z | OSCAR-2109 |

Maybe when you're out to lunch with friends you sit quietly when the check comes, hoping someone else will calculate how much you owe. But that doesn't mean your six-year-old isn't fascinated by numbers.
"If a goldfish bowl were big enough for a million goldfish … it would be large enough to hold a whale." – How Much is a Million?
At the beginning of kindergarten I bought my son How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz, originally published in 1985. The book is considered a classic — you see it now with a 20th Anniversary Edition banner — but it didn't exist when I was in elementary school. Though this is a book I thought L. would tolerate at best, he was captivated from the first reading. Schwartz manages to put numbers like million, billion and trillion in concrete terms that speak to five, six and seven year-olds perfectly. For instance: A million Continue reading →

We do everything to ensure that every barrel is accounted for.
– Ashti Hawrami
(These reports are) wild imagination and unsubstantiated.
We are dealing with Daesh on the front line. We have bombed their infrastructure. Not one drop of oil came in (from Daesh).
Looking back, the whole of 2014 was a huge success as we only had two ships in difficulty - one in the U.S. and one in Morocco ... We managed to finish the year (2014) with only one month of salaries behind, that was a pretty extraordinary achievement as we had ISIS attacking our soil, over a million of Syrian refugees and displaced Iraqis. All of that burden came and we hadn't seen a cent from Baghdad.
We simply cannot afford returning to the old arrangements with Baghdad and widening the financial gap again, we would accept a real budget that Baghdad can commit to without conditions, but we don't want to be part of a theoretical budget which isn't worth the paper it is written on.
We had a remarkable change in relations with Turkey. It has been very strategic and they have been incredibly supportive, eCONOMIC INDEPENDENCE.
If you ask any Kurd, they will always tell you that their main dream is independence, but at the government level, the main policy focus has been economic independence. We are aspiring to solve our own problems and we have enough resources to do it.
The scale was huge. And it was a totally new game for us. Buyers wanted the KRG to lease its own crude cargo ships. We knew nothing about the shipping or sea transportation industry.
He knew exactly who would and who wouldn't deal with us. He opened the doors to us and identified willing shipping companies to work with us.
Everyone suddenly became a ship tracking expert. So we had to raise our game too ... But one thing was proven correct - when oil is out, it flows.
It was a new atmosphere. We hoped it would allow us to put our differences behind us.
Effectively, we have been financially discriminated against for a long time. By early 2014, when we did not receive the budget, we decided we need to start thinking about independent oil sales.

2 | example_20100 | Review: 'Rosenwald' - Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan reviews the new documentary 'Rosenwald'
Aug. 27, 2015 4:15 PM PT
"Rosenwald" used to be a name to conjure with, but no more, and that is a shame this vivid, engaging documentary attempts to do something about.
In the early years of the 20th century, Julius Rosenwald was a philanthropist on a colossal scale, giving away what has been estimated as close to a billion dollars in today's money.
But as revealed by writer-director Aviva Kempner, it's not just the amount of money he donated that makes Rosenwald special, it's the specifics of who he gave it to and how and why he did it that sets him apart.
"Rosenwald": A review in the Aug. 28 Calendar section of the documentary film "Rosenwald," about philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, misspelled the first name of Rosenwald Fund fellowship recipient Marian Anderson as Marion. —
Kempner, whose previous docs "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg" and "Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg" expertly document unexpected aspects of Jewish life in America, reveals the combination of factors that turned this Jewish businessman into an exceptionally generous donor to the African American community. As the late Julian Bond puts it, "He did not have to care about black people, but he did."
How Rosenwald became wealthy enough to become a philanthropist is a classic immigrant story with some involving twists. His German-Jewish father, Samuel, became a peddler almost as soon as he got off the boat to America and ended up living in Springfield, Ill., in a house across the street from Abraham Lincoln's.
But it was not only 1910, when he read Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slavery" and met the celebrated black educator on the campus of his Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where the motto was, "We do everything we teach, and we teach everything we do," that Rosenwald's life's work came into focus.
Partly at Washington's suggestion, Rosenwald became passionate about providing funding for black schools in the rural South, an area where a white hierarchy saw education as a threat to a docile work force.
Rosenwald's idea for funding was especially intriguing. He gave one-third of the money himself and demanded one-third from the local white community, which invariably meant state education funds.
As if all this wasn't enough, Rosenwald extended his philanthropy into the African American community even further. In 1928 he started the Rosenwald Fund Fellowship, which provided grants to those with talent.
The roster of recipients ended up including singer Marian Anderson, educator W.E.B. DuBois, future Nobel laureate Ralph Bunche, and writers such as Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Huston, James Baldwin and Maya Angelou. As recipient Rita Dove notes, the foundation was "the single most important funding agency for African American culture in the 20th century."
To keep her film lively and involving and to illustrate what the old West was like for Jewish peddlers like Rosenwald's father, director Kempner has included clips from relevant feature films, including Gene Wilder's antics in "The Frisco Kid." Hearing a very young Clint Eastwood saying the Yiddish word "schlimazel" in an episode of TV's "Rawhide" is particularly priceless.
Perhaps the most pointed clip, however, is a newsreel moment of Rosenwald himself. "Don't believe because a man is rich he is necessarily smart," the philanthropist insists. "There is ample evidence to the contrary." More than being exceptionally philanthropic, Julius Rosenwald was also nobody's fool.

For my skin this month is the Maybelline Dream Lumi touch concealer. My skin was absolutely atrocious this month and I spent the majority of my time trying to cover up my blemishes. This concealer saved the day!
For eyes is an absolutely beautiful eyeshadow duo by Collection by Bloom, containing a gorgeous bone/champagne colour and a khaki/olive green shade. Both of these shadows are just perfect and I have worn at least one of them all month.
On to lips we have an Australis lipgloss in Contemporary which for some reason, I have really taken to. Initially when I first purchased the product I didn't love it but I definitely didn't hate it, but I have been really reaching for that particular shade all throughout this month.
For the 'other' category I have consistently worn this beautiful (yet very simple) ring. Mum bought it years and years ago from a little market in the middle of nowhere and it has survived the years and found itself on my hand on a daily basis. I love it.
Lastly is nails, but I really couldn't come up with a nail favourite for this month as I just haven't worn any polishes or anything!

Forget Annaly Capital Management, Inc. Stock -- Here are 3 Better Dividend Stocks
Annaly Capital Management is a favorite among dividend investors seeking high yields, and it's easy to see why. The stock currently has a dividend yield higher than 11%, and trades at a substantial discount to its book value.
However, when it comes to dividend investing, high yields aren't the only important factor you need to consider. You should ask yourself how safe the dividend is, and whether or not it's likely to grow in the future.
With that in mind, here are three dividend stocks that our analysts think are better choices than Annaly.
Dan Caplinger: Annaly has one of the highest dividend yields in the market, but the business of leveraged investing in mortgage-backed securities has a lot of interest-rate risk. By contrast, Ford Motor is in a very different business, and while it has its own cyclical components, it's firing on all cylinders right now, with the release of its new aluminum-body F-150 pick-up truck going extremely well out of the gate.
Right now, Ford sports a generous yield of 3.8%, but I'm confident that the company will find even more room for dividend growth in the future -- in stark contrast to Annaly's consistent declines in payouts during the past several years. Just earlier this month, rival General Motors found room to boost its dividend by 20%, with the strength of the auto industry giving it the financial latitude to be more aggressive in returning shareholder capital.
If anything, Ford appears to be in an even more promising position, with new product releases that could make it a stronger competitive threat to GM and its other peers. Ford just made its own 20% dividend boost earlier this year, but as long as auto sales keep soaring, the Blue Oval will have a good shot at giving shareholders even more money in the future.
Jason Hall: It may sound like I'm insulting your intelligence to suggestVisa Inc , which pays a 0.75% yield, while Annaly's is 11%. However, if you're not looking for income today, but getting the best total return, Visa is a superior long-term investment.
Since Visa went public in 2008, the company has regularly increased its dividend payout, while also seeing its stock price soar:
At the same time, Annaly's stock has fallen 35%, and the dividend has been slashed. Annaly -- and its other mortgage REIT brethren -- are entering into an environment where rising interest rates will create a lot of headwinds. In short, it's possible that Annaly will be forced to further cut its payouts, and this will likely drive its stock price lower at the same time.
Visa, on the other hand, is firmly entrenched as one of the most dominant players in global financial transactions. Factor in a world that's increasingly using technology like mobile phones as ways to make purchases, and Visa's role as the facilitator of moving money from the buyer to the seller is only going to become more important.
While its yield is much lower, Visa has been a much better investment than Annaly during the past five years. The evidence supports that trend continuing for the foreseeable future.
Jordan Wathen: One of the biggest risks with high-dividend stocks, particularly mortgage REITs like Annaly, is that rising rates will cripple their income stream. Mortgage REITs generally finance their mortgages with short-term "repo" financing, the cost of which is hinged directly to short-term interest rates dictated by the Federal Reserve.
If you own a mortgage REIT, it may be wise to hedge your bet on short-term rates. A company like Federated Investors serves this purpose well.
Federated Investors is an asset manager. It earns fees for managing everything from stock and bond funds to money market funds for institutions and individuals alike. It's a very good business -- as asset prices go up over time, so does its lucrative stream of management fees. But there is only one problem: Because of low interest rates, Federated Investors has been waiving fees on its money market funds, which make up nearly 70% of its managed assets.
Should short-term rates rise, Federated Investors can turn on its profit switch and begin collecting fees on billions of dollars of money market fund assets it currently manages for free. Doing so would send profits surging by more than 55%, or about $85 million, compared to earnings in the last 12 months.
That may be an extreme example; it's more likely that the company would slowly roll back its fee waivers with each uptick in rates. Even still, with a dividend yield of about 3%, you'll get paid to wait, while holding onto an excellent hedge against interest rate risk inherent in the mREIT business model.

Experts describe it as 'probably the most significant archaeology find ever on Holy Island'
The newly-excavated church on Holy Island (Image: Handout)
It embraces the coastal plain including Holy Island and one of its aims it to celebrate the area's long heritage and increase community participation in it.
Lindisfarne dig reveals evidence of 'significant' early Christian buildings
The dig has uncovered huge sandstone blocks used in the building of the church on The Heugh, a ridge on Holy Island which offers extensive views of the Farne Islands and Bamburgh, which was a royal capital of the kingdom of Northumbria.
The church is pre-Norman Conquest and could date from the 630AD to 1050, although an early date is thought the most likely.
Mr Carlton said: "There are not many churches of potentially the Seventh or Eighth Centuries known in medieval Northumbria, which stretched from the Humber to the Forth.
"What is in favour of the argument for an early church is that on the ridge it would have been entirely visible from Bamburgh, the seat of political power at the time, and in turn would have had great views of Bamburgh.
"It adds another chapter to the history of Holy Island."
The dig has revealed sandstone blocks a metre long, foundations of more than metre wide, a probable altar base and the division between the nave and the chancel.
There is the possibility that the building was placed on the site of the wooden church built in 635AD by St Aidan.
Northumberland-based Peter Ryder, who has been recording the dig, said that the building was "very likely" to have resembled the Seventh Century church which can be seen at Escomb in County Durham.
"It may have been built to commemorate where St Aidan's wooden church stood," he said.
"It must have taken a lot of manpower to move those great blocks of sandstone up to the ridge. The church would have been very visible – monasteries liked building on promontories."
Holy Island dig aims to find monastery where Lindisfarne Gospels were made
A dig last year, also part of the Peregrini project, revealed the significant stone foundations of what could be a watch tower, 50 metres from the church site.
The Venerable Bede recorded how a beacon, which was lit on the Farne Islands on the death of St Cuthbert, was seen by monks on Holy Island from a watch tower. | https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/first-new-church-found-holy-13241445 | 2021/06/24 21:20:42 | mC4 |

How to Get a Warzone Role Card and Find Out Your Role
Call of Duty: Warzone has been granted a new system, just ahead of its transition to Caldera. Warzone Role Cards are based on your stats and performance, and they're the talk of the town...
How does the new Role Card system work in Warzone? It isn't complicated. | © Activision
Seeing as Caldera, Warzone's new Pacific Map, is mere weeks away at this point, it is becoming increasingly clear that Raven Software have more-or-less given up on making Verdansk '84 interesting. It's not such a shame, though, considering that Warzone's current map - introduced by that godforsaken Nuke Event earlier this year - was barely an upgrade on its previous iteration.
What's curious, though, is that Warzone's new Role Card system seems to have revitalized the drive players have for individualized stat reports. It's a curious phenomenon, especially considering that Call of Duty's target demographic are hardly statisticians. Curiosity aside, though, Warzone's Role Cards are a new way for you to find out just how well you're doing in the game, and offer a way to clean up, and bid farewell, to your career in Verdansk.
It's simple: find out how you've done in Warzone up to this point. Find out if you were a "Slayer" or a "Savior", and find out everything there is to know about, well, you. This is a collection of the most up-to-date and most comprehensive statistics that have been made available to Warzone Players so far. It's kind of fascinating, if that's your thing...
Getting Your Warzone Role Card
To find your Warzone Role Card, which will also contain all of the stats you could possibly want to know about yourself, follow these couple of steps...
Check out the Call of Duty Role Card Website
Jump on over the Call of Duty's official "Role Call" website, via this link. We're not sure why Activision felt the need to have such a silly name, but hey, it's CoD, so nothing out of the ordinary.
Select "Find out"
Once you have navigated your way to the website, you need to take a look around and then click on "Find Out". Pretty simple so far, isn't it?
Log Into Your CoD Account
Have your details handy, because you're going to need to log into your Call of Duty / Battle.net account. This will link your CoD account to this new Role Call website, allowing you to chill, sit back, relax, and enjoy the many pieces of information available here.
Are You a Slayer Or a Savior ?
Hustler Or High-Roller?
How to Find Out Your Warzone Squad Role
To find out your Warzone Squad Role, all you need to do is take a look at the Role Card that was issued when you signed up on the Role Call website. There are a number of different roles available, all of which have different characteristics, and some pretty sweet little graphics to help you visualize the kind of player you like to be.
What are the Warzone Roles?
In total there are 16 different roles, each of which are passed out for various different reasons. For example, a Savior is someone who - as the name suggests - revives/saves a lot of people. Here are the currently known roles:
The main purpose of the new Warzone Role Cards is to provide players with a bit of closure, seeing as Verdansk will be gone for good very soon. We might have felt frustrated these last few months about the map feeling stale and boring. We might have felt sad that the Nuke Event yielded basically nothing of interest a few months ago, and that barely anything really changed to Verdansk '84 from Season 3 on, but that doesn't mean that Caldera is a bittersweet prospect.
Now that we've had a good look at Warzone's new Caldera Pacific Map, thanks to a recent leak of the entire map, we are bloody excited for it. That doesn't mean that, despite the annoyances outlined above, we're happy to say goodbye to Verdansk. It'll be curious to see whether this now-iconic map will ever return, and it feels weird that we may never walk its footpaths again. In the meantime, these new Role Cards are a good way to say goodbye to this ol' friend. | https://www.earlygame.com/call-of-duty/warzone-role-card/ | 2021/12/07 14:21:28 | mC4 |

UW-Madison's growing reputation as a global research university was very much in evidence this past May when Chancellor John Wiley and Gilles Bousquet, Dean of International Studies, traveled to England for a series of important and exciting international events.

The Chancellor joined Dean Bousquet and members of the International Studies Advisory Board in London for the Board's first meeting away from the UW-Madison campus. Board members came from Europe and the Middle East as well as Wisconsin, New York, and Washington, D.C., for the all-day session. "It was a tremendous show of commitment from the board members, and the discussions were very productive," Bousquet said, adding that members helped formulate new strategies for promoting global competence among UW-Madison students and more extensive business-University links. The meeting and associated activities were graciously hosted by alumni Andy Sukawaty (BBA, '77), Chairman and CEO of Inmarsat Group Holdings, Ltd., and Paul and Carol Collins. Paul (BBA '58), is the retired Vice Chairman of Citigroup and Co-chair of the university's Create the Future Campaign.

Another important focus of the trip was a two-day series of meetings with leadership teams at the Universities of Leeds, Manchester, and Sheffield, partners with UW-Madison in the Worldwide Universities Network. The discussions cemented the strong research connections that already exist between UW-Madison and these institutions, but also suggested several new opportunities for innovation and collaboration in an international context.

WUN is a grouping of sixteen research-led institutions of international standing that have created a worldwide research and graduate education partnership. Chancellor Wiley serves on WUN's executive committee, which also held an all-day business meeting during this trip. Representatives from Europe, the U.S., and China attended to share their perspectives on international education.
The U.K. trip ended with a festive alumni reunion in London hosted by the Wisconsin Alumni Association. Participants were not only happy to reconnect but were also eager to raise the profile of their alma mater as a premier institution internationally. "We are now seeing a powerful alumni network across Europe, an area where we have strong historic ties," said Bousquet. "Our alums are great advocates for the UW-Madison, its programs, students and faculty, and for the importance of global connectedness."

0 | example_88819 | When we possess a good dose of stress resilience, there is a fluid flexibility between two of the systems in our autonomic nervous system. Every time a stressful situation presents itself, the sympathetic nervous system will be activated and cause a fight, flight, freeze, faint or fawn response. This is our body's natural way of protecting itself from stressors. Once a stressful situation has been resolved and/or processed, stress resilience will help reactivate the parasympathetic nervous system that will lower our heart rate and our blood pressure. If the parasympathetic nervous system doesn't kick in, however, our stress response will stay switched on and can, in the long run, negatively affect our mental and physical wellbeing.
Our breath is the one function of our nervous system that we can consciously control. That's why yogic breathing can have such a profound effect on our overall health. Most of us have already experienced that a conscious breath can impact both our body and mind. Now research has shown that yogic breathing can positively affect our mood, and can even reduce anxiety and depression.
One yogic breathing practice that will help release feelings of frustration, anxiety or anger is brahmari pranayama or bee breathing. The exhalation in this practice resembles the humming of a bee. The sound naturally lengthens the exhalation and its vibration has a calming effect on our nerves. Bee breathing or brahmari pranayama is a very simple yet very effective breathing practice in any stressful situation. How about you give it a go and see what this humble bumble bee practice can do for you?
Sit or stand upright, relax shoulders and lift breast bone.
Take a few conscious breaths and close your eyes (or not if this doesn't work in your situation).
Softly close the lips and breathe in through the nostrils.
Exhale through the nostrils while you make the sound of the letter M. It will sound just like a bee humming inside your head. Keep this sound going for as long as feels good and until you need to breathe in. Don't force the length of your exhalation while humming.
Repeat this cycle of smooth inhalation and buzzing exhalation as often as suits you.
Finally, be quiet and sit or stand like this for a while. Drop your chin to your chest. Softly open your eyes and lift your head.
Once you have expanded your awareness back into the space where you are sitting or standing, notice whether there is a shift in your breath and/or your mood. Then remember that a mindful awareness practice, such as this yogic humming bee breath, can calm your nerves and release feelings of frustration, anxiety and even anger. Revisit this fun humming practice any time you are worried about how you may react to your feelings. And if you happen to have a small child with you, nobody will even look at you strangely while you are make a humming bee sound! | http://www.bubbleandsprout.com/2019/10/23/goodvibrations/ | 2021/09/16 23:49:59 | mC4 |

A mother and daughter have been arrested and charged with killing five family members (including children) inside of their two-bedroom apartment in Morrisville, Pennsylvania.
On Monday, around 4 p.m., a caseworker from the Bucks County Children and Youth Department found victims Naa'Irah Smith, 25, Damon Decree Jr., 13, Jamilla Campbell, 45, and 9-year-old twins Imani and Erika Allen slain in one of the bedrooms.
Shana Decree and her daughter Dominique Decree denied knowing what happened and were treated as survivors when they were rushed to Jefferson Bucks Hospital.
Shana initially said Campbell's boyfriend and two unknown men killed everyone except her and Dominique.
Then, she confessed to killing one of the children. Shana said she and Dominique killed a second child.
They both claimed Jamilla killed Naa'Irah and in turn, Dominique killed Jamilla.
In the hospital, the teen had "visible injuries to her neck" and told cops they were caused by an unknown black male. She also "asked if her family was alive" and "repeatedly advised her wish to die," the affidavit said.
The bodies were found around 4 p.m. Monday by the caseworker who was conducting a wellness check at the home and had asked a maintenance worker to check the apartment when no one answered.
Inside the first-floor apartment, there was furniture turned over and "broken glass and clutter throughout" and Shana and Dominique were found in bed, appearing "disoriented," in the same bedroom as the bodies, the affidavit said.
Four of the victims were found on the floor, while Damon's body was lying in bed.
Jamilla's 17-year-old son, Joshua Campbell, was found unharmed in New Jersey.
Thank God he was not at home when the murders took place.
Both Shana Decree and Dominique Decree face face five counts of criminal homicide and conspiracy and remain in the county jail without bail. | https://icecreamconvos.com/mom-19-year-old-daughter-charged-with-killing-5-family-members/ | 2022/07/03 11:42:21 | mC4 |

0 | example_78475 | Seaview's missile rooms speakers crackled to the familiar voice of Captain Lee Crane. "Mission accomplished, Admiral. Request permission to return aboard?"
Admiral Harriman Nelson quickly walked to the mic, with a broad smile his features reflected great relief. "Permission granted, with pleasure."
The chambers light switched from red to green, an indication of the equalization of pressure. Chief Sharkey grasped the wheel turning it hard and heaved open the hatch. Captain Lee Crane along with Seaman Kowalski stepped through the missile room escape hatch. They lightly touch there neoprene covered feet to Seaview's steel deck, grateful they were back in familiar surroundings.
The pair were met with smiles and handshakes after everyone had thought the two men had been lost along with the destruction of the Vulcan. "We thought you were dead," stated a visibly relieved Chip Morton.
"We managed to escape just before you fired on her." Crane searched the room, his eyes finally settling on Admiral Nelson.
Nelson's taut muscles relaxed as he caught sight of Lee's handsome face. No one could have been more thankful than Admiral Harriman Nelson, Lee Crane's longtime friend and lover. Nelson gave Crane a gentle slap on his back. Leveling a piercing gaze on Crane from his ocean blue eyes, his concentration devoted to the Captain. "Good to see you both alive and well, Captain."
Harry could not help but show his enthusiasm over Crane's survival. His eyes sparkled, and a broad smile creased his features. "Have Doc check you both out." Touching Lee's shoulder once more for reassurance, he turned to depart the missile room with a marked spring in his step.
Morton straightened and looked over at Crane. "It's quiet Skipper, go. I can handle things here." Chip had known for years that Nelson and Crane were lovers. Harry was anxious to see Lee alone, after coming so close to losing him. "I'll call if there's an emergency."
"Very well, Chip. I won't be long." Crane gave a sweeping glance over the control room, dropping the pencil on top of the scattered charts.
"Take your time, Skipper. I know he's anxious to speak with you." Chip smiled, his voice going to a whisper. "You didn't see his face when he thought you were dead." Chip recalled the pain on the Admiral's face when the enemy sub exploded. "He thought when he gave the order to fire on the Vulcan, he had killed you and Kowalski, along with the Vulcan's crew. He needs to see you. Go, I have the con."
In the corridor outside Nelson's cabin, Lee straightened, ran his long fingers through his short cropped hair and adjusted his tie before he knocked.
"Admiral, you wanted to see me." Lee stood framed by the silhouette of the door, waiting for Nelson's reply. But the Admiral simply stared at Lee's elegant body, his olive tan skin, short black curls so neatly controlled, and his hazel gold eyes. Harry lost himself, captured by those eyes. 'I could have lost him today.' "Is Chip in the control room?"
Standing from his desk chair, "I take it, Doc cleared you and Kowalski?" Harry was making small talk when all he wanted to do was to take Lee into his arms and love him. "Come in, don't stand in the doorway." It sounded like an order. 'What's wrong with me? Give the man a break!'
"He did, sir. Kowalski caught a bullet in the shoulder. Doc said it's not too bad, he'll be back on duty in a few days."
"A few bumps and bruises, nothing serious." Stepping forward, Lee entered Nelson's cabin. Out of habit he closed and locked the door behind him. As he continued to stand by the door he gazed into Harry's eyes. "Admiral?"
Harry stepped forward taking Lee's hand and stroked the long fingers, the hands Harry loved so much. "I've been call to Washington, Lee. I need to leave, as soon as we dock." Nelson Smiled up at the tall dark haired Captain and proceeded to brush Lee's face lightly.
"I'm sorry, Lee, the President ordered me to Washington. He insists on an immediate briefing regarding the Cesium Seven bomb, the Vulcan and Bradley's involvement. It's simply out of the question to refuse." Harry reached and ran his fingers up through Lee's dark curls.
"No more than three, four days, possibly a week," Harry replied, knowing how the Captain would react.
Harry watched Lee. "It can't be helped. Duty first, you know that... We'll have time. We can go to the beach house for a few days after I return." Harry looked up and kissed Lee. Giving up his struggle, not to fight his instincts to take Crane and ignore the rest of the boat. "Tomorrow I leave for Washington but right now I crave to be near you, to experience your power, your passion and your love."
Harry raised Lee's hands to kiss them again. "You know if you hadn't escaped that sub when you did there would not have been enough of you left for me to bury." Harry pulled Lee close, he ran his tongue over the Captain's lips before kissing him, their tongues sliding together, lost in the taste and scent of each other.
Breaking the kiss, Lee breathed into Harry's ear. "But I did escape, Harry. I'm here, love." Lee let the older man draw him closer; strong arms surrounded him, hugging him hard against the broad chest. Harry cupped Lee's tight buttocks, bringing them even closer, feeling taut firm muscle under the Captain's uniform. His hearts desired to run his hand over Lee's hot bare flesh. It felt so comforting and safe to feel Nelson's body, sinking into the familiar warmth as the Admiral's strong grip encircled him.
"I'm terrified something is going to snatch you out of my life one day and I'll never see you again." Harry couldn't shift the uneasiness that ran through him. Lee had returned safe but for how long? He guided Lee to the narrow bunk, leaning the Captain back. Lee didn't resist, both men were too aroused to stop now. Harry grabbed Lee's shirt, pulled it out of his belt and trousers. He began to run his hand across Lee's chest. Harry gulped air. "I need to get these clothes off you."
Harry paused raising his head to look directly at Lee. "Yes, and no doubt he knows why as well. He's an intelligent man, besides he won't let anyone disturb us, at least for a while." A wicked smile stole forth, and a twinkle of amusement ran across his face. "Captain, do you want me to stop?"
"I don't think, I can, stop," Lee pulled Harry toward him as he yanked at the Admiral's shirt releasing it from his pants, "are we throwing caution to the wind, sir?"
"I am indeed, this once. I'm making an exception in light of the extenuating circumstances. " A small hitch in his tone gave his fear away. "I'd truly thought I'd lost you forever today." Harry's voice softened, swallowed by overwhelming emotion and it drifted into passion.
Free from pants, shirts and shorts, the Captain reversed their positions, taking masterful control, possessing and claiming his lover’s body. Pushing Harry onto the bunk designed for one, Lee lifted his lover’s legs. Leaning down, Lee rimmed the tight pink opening, reaching to lick the sensitive skin. Holding on to Harry, Lee reached for the lube, liberally coating his fingers. He slipped two slick fingers into the tight recess, followed quickly by a third. The muscles relaxed. Harry squirmed against Lee's intrusion, whispering, "I need you." Lee placed his cock at the entrance to Nelson's body.
Harry groaned, a sharp intake of breath told Lee his partner was enjoying this too, losing himself. Lee mumbled, "I love it when you want me...so hot and tight." Harry's narrow channel welcomed Lee, receiving him, inviting him in. His thoughts focused on the connection between their bodies. Gasping, he thrust deeper. Harry's body gripped the bulk of Lee's hard hot sex.
Nelson was lost, drifted on the waves of heat and pleasure, thrilled as his body was penetrated, his face radiated passion all the while staring into Lee's beautiful eyes.
Lee focused on the intense sensations, looking down at Harry through hooded eyes. The Captain set a steady rhythm with his cock expanding as he felt Harry move beneath him. "Oh, Lee." The muscles across Lee's chest glistened with sweat as Harry kissed and fondled Lee sensitive nipples, worrying them to pebble hardness adding to his pleasure.
Lee bathed Harry's tight channel with cream. Harry pulled Lee closer. Passion burned in Nelson's eyes as he covered the Captain's lips to smother his intense reaction. Pain and pleasure shattered into a thousand pieces, it all echoed through Lee's senses. "Lee, I'm so close...I need you, please."
Lee brushed and teased the rosy head, licking drops from the tiny slit. He leaned forward, relaxed is jaw, taking Harry's cock into his throat, licking and sucking, relishing the glorious taste as he drank from Harry. Nelson tangled his fingers into the dark short curls. He whispered, "Oh God, Lee."
Lee delighted in the shivers that spread through Harry as his body erupted into Lee's mouth, drinking every drop of the Admiral's cream. Reaching up he kissed Harry with his own fresh cream on his lips. Breathlessly, saying. "I love you." He collapsed across him gasping for air.
When both of their bodies calmed, Harry turned on his side giving Lee room to snuggle closer into his arms. "I'll miss you."
Nelson cast his eyes low; he angled his head gazing down at the lush line of his lover’s eyelashes and chuckled, "I would hope so." He ran his palms lovingly over Lee's back. "But right now we need to get up and soon. We can't stay here, eventually will be missed, someone will come looking for us."
"Yes Captain I had noticed, how could I not." Harry smiled. "You know perfectly well what I mean. You need to hit the showers and get dressed," Nelson suggestively nudged Crane off the bunk.
"Yes, sir. Aye, sir. What every you say, sir." Reluctantly Lee climbed off the Admiral's bunk, he bent over to retrieve his clothes that lay abandoned on the deck. Grinning back at Harry, "Enjoying the view?"
"Very tempting, Commander. But it won't work." Harry beamed back, the layers of his voice held amusement as he popped Lee's ass. The Admiral stood retrieving his own discarded garments. "Get dressed, Captain. We have a boat and crew which requires our attention."
Lee stood by the mirror in his cabin, a slight frown on his face as he knotted his tie, straighten his collar and picked up his jacket. Snapping his brief case shut he turned off the light. He was to meet the Admiral in the control room for the final hand over of Seaview to the NIMR security team.
After Seaview docked and Harry had collected a few things for his trip, Lee Crane accompanied Nelson to NIMR's small air field. Harry watched as the light breeze tugged at Lee's hair pulling it free and wild. Harry held back his urgent need to touch his Captain, clearing his throat and mind. "I'll see you in about five days, Captain. I'll expect updated status reports from you regarding repairs to Seaview."
Lee wanted desperately to hug the man one more time. They had said their goodbyes in the Admiral's apartment where he was to stay for the next five days until Nelson's return. "You have the number of the hotel? And the apartment key?"
"I have them right here." He patted his shirt pocket where he had placed the card and the key. Lee smiled. "I'll be right here waiting for you," giving Nelson a devastating look. A look that Harry loved. It never failed to weaken Harry's knees.
"Captain, I could never forget that you are waiting," Nelson gazed long and hard wishing he could kiss him. "I'll be home as soon as possible." Pausing a moment. "Well, that's it than." At a loss for words, Harry repeated. "Lee, I'll be back in a few days."
Extending his arm they grasped hands. Lee poured all his emotions into that firm but caressing grip. "Aye, sir. Have a save trip."
Chip met Crane at the front of the Institute's Administrations Building. "Lee, did the Admiral get off on time?"
"I have no real plans for the next week, other then checking in on Seaview and repairs." As they both stopped at the entrance, "How about a couple rounds of golf or maybe racket ball tomorrow?"
"Okay, you’re on." Crane opened the building entrance door and presented his badge to the guard on duty. "Meet you at Seaview at oh seven hundred. After we check on the maintenance and the repair crew, we can go on to the country club for some golf." Lee clipped his badge to his uniform jacket as he called for the elevator.
"You'll see this week will fly by quickly," Chip flashed his badge at the same guard. "The Admiral will be home before you know it."
Reaching their floor Lee exited the elevator. "I have a stack of paper work to go through. How about dinner later? Say around five?" Turning left he preceded down the hall to his office.
The Captain's secretary greeted him, "Good morning, Commander. Did Admiral Nelson get away on time?"
"I've arrange to have all the Admirals calls sent through this office." Crane turned towards his office.
"Very good, sir," sliding herself back into her desk chair. With a slight frown she turned and reached behind her desk, retrieving a large manila envelope. "Sir, the Admiral left this for you. He said you'd know what to do with its contents."
By the weeks end Lee and Chip had played golf, tennis and racket ball, gone out to dinner three nights in a row and he'd spoken to Harry by phone several times. He thought, 'Chip had been right the week had gone by swiftly.' as he hung up the receiver, 'but I've missed you Harry and you'll be home tomorrow.'
The evening before Nelson's scheduled return, Lee and Chip were out for dinner and drinks. Chip had called the night before insisting they go out just to get Lee's mind off his absent Admiral.
After dinner Crane began to consume a great deal of alcohol. "Whoa there, Lee, take it easy with that stuff." Chip assumed it was because he was missing Harry so much. Chip knew the Admiral and his Captain were lovers and understood Lee's feelings.
Chip Morton was an old friend, college roommate, and now the XO on Seaview. But Chip loved Lee, an unrequited love. He knew deep down nothing would ever come of it. To Crane he was simply a good friend. Lee only had eyes for Harry. Morton respected both the Admiral and Captain of Seaview. He'd never consider coming between them or do anything to destroy their happiness. He resigned himself to that reality long ago.
As the evening wore on Chip noticed that Crane was becoming a bit unstable on his feet. "I think you've had enough, sailor, it's time to take you home." Morton guided Lee to the exit, practically pouring his commanding officer into the car seat.
Lee didn't bother to argue, he quite frankly couldn't summon up the strength. Slurring his words, "Not home, back to Harry's." Crane was insistent on going back to the Admiral's place.
Morton pulled into the parking garage, dropping Crane by the elevator. As Lee got out of the car, Chip could see how unsteady his friend was. Thinking to himself, ' he's never going to make it to the apartment, not in his condition.' Chip yelled from the drivers side. "Lee, you okay? Need some help?" When Lee didn't respond, Morton jumped out of the car to take Lee's arm guiding him to the elevator, intending to get Crane inside and settled. "Okay, buddy, let's get you upstairs."
Entering the front door Chip tried with no avail to sit Crane down on the sofa, but Lee insisted on going through the bedroom into the master bath. “No," shaking his head, "bathroom!”
While crossing over the entrance to the bath, Crane closed his eyes, and began to breathe slowly through his nose. He swallowed convulsively as he fought the urge to be sick. "I think I'm going to be....oh." Lee held tight to his stomach as it cramped. He stumbled when his body flushed. With force he doubled over, vomiting onto the tile floor.
Chip grabbed Lee by the shoulders concerned that he could fall. Crane turned and the second round landed, to Morton's surprise, on his pants and shoes. Chip quickly steered Lee to the basin as he retched and heaved until nothing was left.
Once Lee's stomach had emptied, he experienced a sudden chill but he began to recover. Reaching for the faucets, "I can do this, you need to change." With the water running he removed his soiled shirt and proceeded to wash his face and neck. Lee called out to Chip. "In the closet, left side, there is a stack of sweat pants. They should fit you. Help yourself to what ever you need."
Lee found another robe and handed it to Chip saying, "I'm really sorry about all this." Eyeing the mess on the floor, "I think you need this more then I do." Chip accepted the offered robe.
"Don't worry about it," as Morton removed cleaning supplies from the cabinet under the sink. "You go take a shower. I'll clean this up." Crane's embarrassment caused Morton to hesitate. Tossing the Captain a stern gaze, "You heard me mister, now go..."
While Chip cleaned himself and the floor, Lee took a quick shower to remove the sourer smell from his body while the water helped to clear his head. Stepping out of the shower his feet made contact with the cold tile floor. He slipped a towel around his waist intending to put on an old pair of warn sweats that he had placed across a nearby chair.
He then offered the shower to Chip. "You should do the same. We're both a mess." Turning, he walked toward the kitchen with a slight smile.
Chip exited the shower putting on the robe and pants Lee had offered. Grateful to be clean again, he headed for the outer rooms. "How are you feeling now? You do look a little better. You've got some color in your face. For a while there you looked as white as a ghost."
Seated in the large arm chair in the living room. "Better, but I need some coffee. You want some? I just started a pot."
The aroma of the percolating coffee wafted through the air. "Yeah, coffee sounds great. I could use something to clear my head. Thanks."
As Crane stood he swayed, "Whoa," placing his fingers to his temple. "I guess I'm not as recovered as I thought." Getting his footing he headed for the kitchen, looking back at Chip. "I'm sorry about all this...thanks; you’re a good friend for putting up with me."
With two mugs in hand, he passed one to Chip. "Think nothing of it, what are friends for...?" Lee seated himself on the sofa while Chip took the armchair. They drank in relative silence. "I should be going, Lee. Do you think you can get along without me?"
"I think there's a ball game on tonight. We've missed most of it." Lee glanced down at his watch. "But we can catch the end." Before long both men fell asleep in the living room.
Nelson knew he was dancing here, anxious to return home to Lee. Perhaps they could salvage a few days of leave, spend what remained of their time at the beach house before responsibilities forced them both to return to work at the NIMR.
Admiral Harriman Nelson hurriedly picked up his bag from his hotel and headed for the limo that had been waiting to take him to the airport.
He had spent the last week in Washington in Senate meetings by request of the President. Finally everything was settled to the satisfaction of the President and himself.
Nelson was now on his way, headed for the airport to board the NIMR jet. Soon he was bound for home and his beloved Lee.
Harry tried to bring Lee along as often as possible to Washington, so they would not be separated for such an extended period of time. Circumstance made it impossible this trip. It was all last minute and very rushed; things just hadn't worked out as he had hoped. He always wanted Lee along, just so they could be together. They had so little time between long missions at sea, their work at the Institute and Harry's frequent trips to the Capitol.
Regrettably Lee stayed home this trip. He had stayed in Harry's apartment on the pretext of house sitting. Harry always found it difficult to be parted from Lee. But finally he was on his way home, one day early to surprise his Captain.
As his car pulled up to the NIMR gate. "Good evening, Sir." The guards greeted the Admiral at the gate. "Good trip, Admiral?"
"You have a good evening, Admiral." Nelson was eager to see Crane. It was late but Harry knew Lee would be at the apartment.
Admiral Nelson walked in, his smile quickly faded, as he surveyed the scene. He observed the obvious, the undressed condition of Crane and Morton and he could smell the distinct odor of alcohol.
Harry stopped dead in the doorway, dropping his bag, anger flashing in his eyes. "What's going on here?" His voice rose in pitch. "Is this what you do when I am away?"
Nelson's jaw clenched tightly, outrage shot through Nelson like a current. "Lee how could you betray me like this...?" His eyes narrowed perceptively, demonstrating his disgust. "You've been toying with me this entire time, playing on my feelings for you. It's obvious you've been lying to me." He paused, his gaze combative, his temples pulsed, it became difficult to hold on to any shred of his composure.
Lee stared in numb disbelief, striving desperately to push the words out, "Admiral...Harry. Please calm down..." Crane tried to explain but it was obvious Harry was not listening. Lee felt physical pain as Harry hurled accusations at him.
"It's not what you think. Chip stayed to help me." Every word of explanation Lee tried to utter was cut off by Nelson's raging jealousy. "Please calm down and listen to me."
Harry's voice boomed. "I will not calm down." He defiantly stared at Lee, willing him with a steady glare to be quiet. His penetrating gaze shifted, blazing a path between Lee and Chip as if searching for the words. "I can see what kind of help he offered."
Crane could not believe what he was hearing, didn't want to believe what was happening. It was as if the floor dropped out under all reason, his shock evident. Feeling the blood drain from his face, his hands began to shake. All his military discipline kicked in. All at once, he folded his arms, took in a reasonable breath. His features became inscrutable, and he assumed his command face. All the while Harry continued his tirade. Although the anger and fear ripped through Lee's heart, his rational mind told him Harry was serious. Lee felt as if he'd been stabbed, bleeding to death under Nelson's icy stare. His features remained practiced, never showing a hint of pain.
Tension crackled in the air as if a volcano had erupted. "Harry, please." Nelson's blue eyes, which always held warmth when looking at Lee, were now cold and hard. Crane stood there motionless, staring at the Admiral. Lee stood frozen in that horrible moment, as if turned to stone.
"Don't!" Abruptly Nelson slammed the door on any explanation Lee could give. There seemed to be nothing he could say that would have convinced him.
Harry turned and retreated, exiting through the same doorway he had entered a few minutes ago. As he walked out his face turned fiery red with fury. "Both of you, I want you out of this apartment and out of my life. Don't be here when I return." Harry's words were sharp, his voice rang with the unmistakable note of finality as the door slammed behind him.
The Admiral's words were followed by the loudest silence Lee had ever heard. Lee caught the fallout, a soundless explosion. In utter shock, Lee stood there for a long moment, not able to move. A flicker of chill ran through him as he absorbed it's impact and Harry's harsh hateful words.
Chip threw Lee a look, breaching the charged silence. "You need to go after him and explain, you can't leave it like this..." Chip didn't continue, he bit back any additional comments. Chip stared, shaking his head in stunned disbelief.
Realization thundered down on Crane. He shook his head in frustration. No doubt he understood clearly that it was over. He slowly picked up a few of his things. Lee could just make out what Chip was saying over the pounding cry of his own heart. "Tell the Admiral I'll send for the remainder of my things. I'll be at my house if I'm needed." With the Captain's announcement his eyes filled with dark distress, the rims glistened but he forcefully held back the tears.
Lee forced his body into motion, while he drew in a long quiet breath, letting it out slowly, followed by a lengthy quiet. Head cast down, command face gone. His voice escaped from his lips in a whisper. "Admiral Nelson made himself perfectly clear. No matter what I say, Chip, he will believe what he wants to believe. No amount of explanation will sway his opinion." Wobbling a little as he attained a better footing, a flash of panic rushed through him as he started to leave Harry's apartment, maybe, he thought, 'for the last time.'
"Lee," Chip implored. "You can't mean that. When he understands the situation better..." Lee seem to pull himself together, his command face reasserting itself but he remained oddly pale under his olive complexion.
Lee's eyes burned with repressed tears. He threw back, turning to face Chip. "I tried Chip. It seems he doesn't care any longer, nor do I. It's best I take some time...for myself." Lee's wounded voice had audibly faltered with the last few words dying in his throat. Dueling forces raged inside Lee. The first to run to Harry, do as Chip urged, explain. The second to forge a shield, intrinsic to self preservation.
Chip opened his mouth to say more. One withering look from Crane obliterated the idea. Morton immediately shut his mouth again, not to speak another word.
Lee's hands were clenched in white knuckled fists, trembling, than they began to shake. Barely able to control the bitter surge of his own emotions. It felt as though his muscles had forgotten how to respond to his brain. Lee turned shakily. Crane grasped the door knob, he shuttered as if to regulate his own breath and walked out. The door clicking shut behind him. Lee was a mess. He felt broken as his anger fizzled out.
Nelson felt so enraged he couldn't believe what he had witnessed. He asked himself the most obvious of questions, 'what other signs could there have been? We'd been separated for mere days. Nothing that drastic could have changed in a matter of days. Had this been going on all along...? Had I been that blinded by Crane's attention...? How could I have missed the clues? I thought we had something real. Had Lee been thinking about someone else when we had made love? It all seemed like a cruel joke...' He laughed. 'Yes, a joke on me.'
As his anger ebbed away he became aware of his own exhaustion. He headed for his office, he needed to go somewhere, to be alone. His weariness did not however extend to his thoughts. All the questions continued to whirl around in his mind, giving him no respite.
When Nelson returned to his apartment hours later he found Lee's things were gone and a letter had been placed on his desk. It was addressed to Harriman Nelson. With shaky hands he tore open the envelope.
Chip was just being a good friend. He wanted me to go out to dinner and drinks that same evening. He knew I was missing you and wanted to cheer me up. I had too much to drink and was not capable of making it home on my own, so Chip brought me home. I was feeling quite ill and never made it to the bathroom, vomiting on myself and Chip. Chip remained to help me. At that point we were both a mess and in need of cleaning up. But nothing happened between us. Chip stayed as any good friend would, to lend moral support. That is what you walked in on, it was all perfectly innocent.
But what you said to me... the accusations after all we have had together, have been to one another. How could you believe that of me? Your rage and jealousy, I thought we loved one another, made promises to trust one another, I thought forever. I'm not sure what we had was real, if it could be broken that easily? Harry, I'm sorry forever was so short. I love you. I always will.
With the bitterness of the argument free in Lee's mind he drove to a nearby gay bar. The evening breeze carried the lingering heat from the day as the sunlight receded. The warmth had slipped from the world, leaving behind a chill in the air. Crane shivered as he ascended the few steps, nervousness rapped in excitement followed him through the door.
The moment he enter the smoke-fill room he took stock of his surroundings. In front of him a sea of round wooden tables. Dim light cast shadows across the floor, revealing a rather empty room. Only a few couples sat at the candle-lit tables. Nearly all the patrons clustered around the large bar in the center, all for the purpose of cruising. The low ceiling bounced the echoing of tangled voices back to the floor and scattered a din through the room.
Lee froze where he stood. His thoughts carrying him into a fog. The small voice in his head shouted at him, not to do this, not to continue. One last thought slipped past. 'Don't betray Harry this way.' Crane's anger swiftly brushed the voice aside as he approached and sat on a nearby bar stool ordering a drink.
"Can I buy you a drink?" The sharp voice of a stranger invaded Lee's thoughts. His words sent a shiver through Lee's body. He hadn't formed a single thought or feeling about what he was about to do. That alone happened to be disconcerting, on its own. "You're new in here. Aren't you?"
"Haven't been here in a while." A shutter rocked its way through Lee, traveling down his back as the stranger ran his hand over Crane's shoulder. Taking in a deep breath he calmed himself. Swallowing hard, catching his breath, "I have one, thanks." Picking up the glass he lifted it to his lips and sipped.
"If you’re interested. I'll be around, gorgeous." He trailed a suggestive finger across Lee's thigh.
Lee turned on the bar stool, sizing up the competition that clustered around the bar. Running his eyes over the room, he spotted the unmistakable interest, directed at him.
It didn't take long for the seat beside him to become occupied again, this time by a tall dark brunette. "I come here often. Haven't seen you before. Can I get you a refill?"
"Want to tell Tony your troubles?" He ran his hand across Lee's bulging erection. "Eager, aren't you? Just the way I like em, hot, hard, and most definitely ready."
"You didn't come in here for the booze and the scintillating conversation. Not dress like that." Crane's jeans were tight and suggestive, holding close to his crotch, displaying a well defined basket.
"You're ready to burst." Tony grabbed at Crane's hand, placing it on his own heavily aroused genitals. "And Tony would like to be there when you do." He paused a moment reveling in the excitement of another man caressing him. "Think I can handle it, handsome?"
Lee's needs were insistent as the two men travel down a long hallway spaced with closed doors. "Here we are." Tony used a key to unlock the door pulling Lee inside. As the door close Tony pinned Crane against the wall, hungrily taking Lee's mouth, demanding, kissing, pushing their crotches together, grinding in to Lee's hot hard organ. "Need to get those pants off."
While Tony worked at Lee's pants the little insistent voice returned. Lee groaned as he started to ride the pleasure. He shook his head in an effort to expel its pleading cry. "No!" Crane shouted as he detached himself from the shadows. He closed his eyes, taking another breath as if he were fighting to hold something deep inside. For the briefest of moments the pain took his breath away, along with his burning needs.
"Okay, man, okay! Tony never needs to beg." Lee stalked away without another word retreating into the dark hall. Crane realized he was about to step over that invisible line, a line once crossed, there was no going back.
Lee wandered somewhat blindly after his rather hasty departure from the bar. Standing at the top of the beach under the star scattered sky, he looked out over the silent shore, feeling utterly alone.
A silhouette of the crystal moon reflected off the wavering surf. A fluttering breeze kissed his skin like silken wings, snatching at his hair, lifting his wayward curls. He folded his long legs under him, sitting onto the hard packed sand. He wrapped his arms around his legs, making a tight knot. His head rested, bowed against his knees. Lee huddled alone on the sand listening to the surf hammer against the shore line.
A great weight of sadness road the waves twisting in the night. Its chill settled into the depths of Lee's heart. Bleakness washed over him, his hurt so deep he had to forcibly remind himself to breathe, shaken to the core. The emptiness would not go away. He had taken a chance and opened his heart. After all the waiting, all the years wasted, to be torn apart. Images of happier times dance through Lee's mind; he had to remind himself that they were merely treasured memories.
Just as the rising sun timidly peeked above the horizon, Crane struggled to his senses, pulling himself together; he pressed his palms to his aching head, shuttering in the absence of chilled air. The hours had slipped fluidly by; his muscles felt cramped from sitting, coupled with inactivity and built up tension. His body seemed reluctant to obey his commands as Lee contended to rise. Once standing he turned and walked the warn path leading from the beach towards the house.
When he finally arrived at the house it was dark, the creeping sunlight had not reach through the windows. Inside nearly silent, except for the echo of the surf, the sounds of the water rippled, far in the distance. Its sonority mingled softly with his own harsh breath.
Lee could feel the tension from the shock drain away. He could hardly believe what had happened. Bone tired he decided to go to bed, 'My dreams have to be an improvement over yesterday's bitter events.' To his dismay, sleep fought his disturbed emotions for several hours before it ultimately won the battle. Lee allowed sleep to dull the sharp shards that pierced his shredded feelings and continued to drive deep into his heart.
Early the next morning Chip Morton sat in Nelson's office. "Admiral, what you walked in on was innocent. I freely admit that I have feelings for Lee, but he's made it perfectly clear nothing will ever come of it." Morton carried the expression of a man navigating a mine field, half expecting his words to blow up in his face. "I respect you both enough not to pursue Lee in that way. Even I can feel the emotional field between you. The love is strong, strong enough to touch. I believe you belong together."
"Chip, I understand that now." Morton nervously watched as Nelson walked around his desk, closing the distance between them. "Do you think Lee would speak to me if I called him?"
"I don't know, sir. He's pretty upset." Chip motioned to the letter on Nelson's desk. "By the tone of his letter...what do you think? You know him as well as I do...maybe better."
"I think, I behaved disgracefully. I wouldn't speak to me if I was Lee." Nelson stared at Chip with desperation in his troubled blue eyes. "Would you speak to him? Let him know I am sorry for all the hurtful words. Ask him to call me when he is ready?"
Morton took pity on Nelson, not able to ignore the Admiral's obvious pain. "I can promise to try. That's the best you can hope for. You do realize it may not be enough."
Harry couldn't manage anything it seemed. Everything had slipped horribly out of control with no means to stop it. "There is nothing left, but to try." The anguish he felt in the pit of his stomach grew, if possible, even deeper.
The persistent ringing woke Crane out of his restless sleep. His eyes abruptly snapped opened as he groggily snatched up the phone, trying to focus his blurry vision. "Lee, did I wake you?" It was Chip.
"Ah, the Admiral is looking for you, Lee. After he calmed down, I took a chance, went to see him and we talked. I explained to him what actually happened." Chip infused his last words with optimism. "He wants to talk to you."
"So why didn't he call me himself?" Sleep had produced no additional clarity. The pain continued to cut through his heart and mind until he thought he'd be sick.
"He didn't think you would speak to him," Chip made one last effort. "...that you'd hang up before he could get the words out."
"Thanks, Chip." He knew even with the best of intentions, there was no possibility of escaping his problems. It still felt like a nightmare, one he could not wake from regardless of how hard he tried.
"Lee, what are you going to do?" The Captain let his query sit suspended as the silence grew oppressive. "Lee, are you still there?"
"Yeah." He tried to shake it off, the vivid images that drifted through his mind whenever he stopped to think. He had to fight it, distance himself. "I have nothing left, Chip."
"Yes, you do. You have plenty left. You just can't see it. You're in shock." His voice rose sharply. "When the shock of all this fades you'll see things clearly."
"Chip, I honestly don't know. I don't want to be here." Weighing his own mood, he expressed himself carefully, “I really should go Chip, thanks for your concern but it's my problem." Crane said firmly. "I'll talk to you soon." Trouble was he couldn't say much of anything coherent, not at the moment, as if his mind and his words had run dry. No amount of Chip’s well-intended help would fix what had happened. He only understood a tiny fraction of the chaos tied up in his own emotions. He knew he missed Harry; the truth is he felt as though a part of himself had been ripped away. He could give in, go to Harry, but what about the next time. He couldn't ignore the jealousy, forgive the hurtful words.
The Captain abruptly hung up the phone as he envisioned how his departure would play out. He wished with every fiber of his being that he could go back, reclaim the past few hours to grab hold and tug in the opposite direction, never to achieve this particular point in time again. He closed his eyes for just a moment, realizing all his dreams had disappeared.
Abruptly coming out of the haze, Lee rose unsteadily to his feet, attempting to untangle his thoughts. Lee searched for the calm inside himself. He closed his eyes and made a decision, focusing on something productive, formulate a final plan. After all his fate was his own now.
Nelson had been informed by Chip Morton that Lee had gone. "I tried to talk to him. He simply wouldn't listen. He said he needed time on his own." Gazing into Nelson's troubled features. "He feels like he's lost it all, leaving him with nothing."
"That's not true he has..." Harry growled. "I knew it would be a long shot. Thanks for trying, Chip." Nelson stood walking around his desk perching on its corner. "Chip, will you take control of Seaview's day to day operations? As her Captain?"
Reluctantly Morton agreed. "Yes, sir. I'll only take the position as her acting captain. Just until the Skipper returns." He couldn't imagine Seaview without Crane.
"You do realize that scenario may never happen." Harry's eyes cast down at the prospect. Saying it aloud to Chip, brought the reality painfully home. "I do have several feelers out, inquiries into his whereabouts." The Admiral eyed the phone, silently commanding it to ring. "I'm hoping someone has seen him."
"Any answers to your queries?" Lee had contacted Morton but he had never revealed his location, leaving Chip feeling inadequate when faced with Nelson's questions.
"No, unfortunately nothing." The Admiral sat down, sounding dejected. "I've found no leads that would shed any light to where I might find him."
"I'm sorry, Admiral. I wish I could be of more help. I believe, Lee doesn't want to be found." Crossing to the door. "I'll be on Seaview if you need me, sir."
"Before you go. I'll be taking a few days off to deal with some personal business." Nelson slapped the file shut that was sitting open in front of him. "I've asked Admiral Park to fill in for me. He will handle the day to day operations at NIMR. He will be over seeing a few of the contracts, keeping those projects on time and budget."
"Yes, sir. When do you plan to leave?' Morton voiced no objections, however he did have concerns. He clearly felt it was not his place to question Nelson. If his suspicions were correct, Harry had plans to look for Lee himself.
The topper at the end of the day’s aggravation happened to be another dead end. Every inquiry Nelson had made came up completely empty. Chip Morton had been of no help. He had admitted to have spoken to Lee but either refused or didn't actually know where the Captain had gone.
Nelson had not been this tired and this frustrated since before Lee had left. Nightmares had plagued him, almost every night he dreamed of Crane. Of Lee slipping away from him. The fog lay thick around Nelson's feet, darkness surrounded the edges. "Good bye, Harry. I'm sorry." the Captain would turn away dissolving into the shadowy mist. "No, come back!" Harry called after Lee, his voice echoed fleetingly before it died out leaving the murky air hollow around him. No amount of searching could find him. The imagery so disturbed Harry, that each night he forced himself to remain awake, until he had no choice but to sleep and relive the nightmare over again.
"Crane." The commander’s voice and face were stern. "Nelson's been making inquiries about you. He's been pulling in as many favors as he can in an effort to attain any and all information regarding your location." The commander simply glanced down at the floor, in a sweeping motion lifting to meet Lee's eyes. "I didn't tell them anything; the Admiral gained no information from this office."
"Thank you, sir." The mere mention of Harry's name caused pain to well up in Lee's heart. He endeavored to keep the tremor of emotion from showing in his voice. "I appreciate your discretion."
The base commander plowed on. "Nelson has powerful friends in the Navy. It's only a matter of time before he finds you."
Lee Crane traveled the two levels down, to the exit. In the evening after work, Crane would eat at a local diner. Nearing the exit the sun lay low in the sky, it played, drifting in and out of the white puffy clouds. Approaching the street outside the base, Lee spotted cars as they darted past, along with the occasional pedestrian walking a dog. No one spared a look in his direction and that's how Lee had wanted it, anonymous, essentially invisible. Crane was headed for one of the local establishments for dinner, as always he was alone. He sat at his usual table and ordered his usual meal.
One of the young waitresses named Linda, whom Lee had gotten to know in the past few months, approached his table. "Still dining alone, I see." Crane thought for a moment but never met her gaze. "I still haven't made many friends here," He quickly stifled a bright image of Harry's smiling face. 'I guess I'm not ready for any new relationships.'
"That's too bad. You seem like a nice guy, you should be out with friends enjoying yourself." She smiled trotting off to put in Crane's order. 'She never saw him with anyone. Never had the nerve to ask him out, or invite him for a quick coffee.' She had the distinct impression that Lee Crane was running away from something, possibly a difficult situation. 'Or perhaps, hiding from one.'
As Crane ate he barely tasted his food. He realized how alone he really felt. He wasn't up for small talk with strangers, or social interactions, although he always made friends easily. It wasn't that he was being anti-social; talk wasn't what he needed at the moment. He felt as though his life had ties to the past, making it difficult to move on. Lee had spoken with Chip a few weeks ago and was encouraged to find Morton had been placed in temporary command of the Seaview. Chip had assured him Seaview and her crew were doing well. He had added both crew and the sub missed him. 'Seaview, how he missed her.'
Nelson still had not returned to the Institute or Seaview, no one really knew where the Admiral had gone. Admiral Park was doing a good job filling in but he just was not Harriman Nelson.
Suddenly Lee's thoughts flooded in, 'Harry what happened to us? We were so in love. Why couldn't you trust me? Had I ever given you any sign that I wanted to be with anyone else but you? I loved you. Truth be told, I still do.'
Looking down he realized he had completely finished his food. Checking his watch he wondered were the time had gone. Smiling to himself, 'where it always goes, deep in thought, missing Harry and Seaview, both he still loved.' He concluded being inside of his head was not the best place he could be at the moment.
He asked for the check, paid his bill, and wished the cashier a good evening. He strolled out the door with intentions of going directly home.
Exiting the restaurant he noticed the warm breeze that had drifted in from the ocean, making it a pleasant night to be out. The apartment he had rented was not far so he decided to walk. As he crossed the street he stopped abruptly at the faint sound of a familiar voice. It filtered through the air from down the block. Crane turned to see Admiral Harriman Nelson speaking with a group of high ranking officers.
The Captain recognized several of the officers, having seen them at the naval base earlier that day. Crane had not been ready to return to active duty; in light of his reserve status he had been offered a civilian position in naval operations. He was testing new computer systems and helping to install the programming in the Navy's submarines. All in all, the job was in many ways what he had hoped it would be.
The Admiral had spotted Lee standing on the pavement, never losing sight of him. Nelson quickly said his goodbyes. At his last handshake and a promise to get together soon, he started quickly to cross the street to where Lee stood.
Crane experienced mixed feelings as the Admiral approached him. He had a deep desire to see Harry, to see how he was doing, however his reluctance made him hesitate. Lee's memory raced back to the day of the argument, they had parted on such violent terms.
Before Lee could decide what to do, he looked up again and saw Nelson staring at him. Harry peered directly at Lee, his face lighting up as their eyes met, throwing Lee a casual wave of his hand. Lee nodded, returning the wave. He couldn't help smiling back and he hoped he wasn't grinning like an idiot. Sobering, "Admiral." All the old feelings flooded back on Crane. Even in the dim light seeing Harry made his breath shutter. A lump caught in his throat, catching him completely off guard. It must have shown in Lee's face.
Harry's voice was calm on the surface but there was an undercurrent of concern beneath the words. "Lee, are you okay?" The Admiral stepped toward the Captain.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Just surprised. That's all." Lee took a half step backwards. He was shocked at his own reaction to the Admiral's proximity. "Chip said no one knew where you were. You had left the Institute without a word."
"I had business that needed my personal attention. I asked Roy to step in and help out for a few days." Nelson had left the Institute on the pretext of business. In reality he needed time to think, to get his life in order. He desired a clear head to continue his search for Lee and attempt reconciliation.
It happened to be sheer coincidence that Admiral Nelson had been attending a meeting in San Francisco. The gathering included some of the top brass from several branches of the armed services.
When Nelson moved forward a second time Lee didn't retreat. Instead he reached and firmly clasped Nelson's hand. Vibrant blue met hazel green, "Lee, how I've missed you."
Pulling back quickly, "I missed you too, Harry." Nelson gave Crane an odd look, he never expected Lee to admit so readily that he had missed him as well. If he were honest, Nelson strongly suspected that Lee wouldn't so much as speak with him. Nelson acted on the small bud of hope that had emerge directly in front of him. "Is there somewhere we can go and talk?"
Crane started to suggest a drink at a local bar but thought better of it. If Nelson really wanted to talk they would need privacy. "My apartment's not far from here, just a few blocks. We can walk."
Not trying to sound too anxious. "We can use my car. It's right here." It sat waiting a few yards down the street. They could have walked but this was an excuse to be alone with Lee.
Harry's prevailing thoughts as they made their way down the street to the parked vehicle. 'I've found him.' "Lee, I can't believe you're here." His basic emotion betrayed a definite tone of relief as he spoke. "I've been searching for months. Chip wouldn't tell me where you had gone."
"How could he? Chip doesn't know." He seated himself in the back, opposite Nelson. The Admiral tried to extinguish the wave of guilt that boiled up from within him, the shame that it was he who had forced Lee away.
"It's not far, just on the other side of the banking complex." Lee gave the driver instructions as the car pulled onto the street. Neither one spoke on the short trip to Crane's apartment. Being this close, Lee's heart ached for Harry, for both of them. For the first time in months hope peeked out of the dark clouds that had loomed around the Captain. Could they work this out, deal with Harry's jealousy? Get past all the hurt feelings and hateful words. Could he convince Harry that all this had been unnecessary?
The car turned the corner onto Sixth Street and the limo pulled up to a large brick apartment building. "This is it, Admiral." Stepping out of the car, "I'm on the fourth floor."
His first impression on entering Crane's apartment, it was unlike Lee's house in Santa Barbra, not the layout, but how austere it all seemed. No personal items lay about, not one photo. It didn't look lived in at all and it echoed of loneliness. It was merely a place for Lee to store belongings, and sleep. The thought sent a stab of pain through Nelson's heart.
There was of course a natural strain in the situation. Breaking the silence, Crane first offered Nelson refreshments, he proceeded to walk towards the compact kitchen. "Coffee, Admiral?" Neither really knew how to start this conversation.
Lee's mind raced as he fled into the kitchen. 'This is damn awkward, what was I thinking? What do we say after all that's happened? Too much time has past. Maybe this is a mistake. But something in him calls to me. I have to try.'
Lee picked up two mugs of coffee from the counter. Slowly he returned to the living room, still not knowing how they were going to start. How do you say all the things that needed to be said? "Admiral," handing Nelson a steaming cup.
Lee responded, "I'm doing fine, working hard. My team and I are doing computer programming for the Navy. Mostly subs, it keeps me quite busy." His thoughts were desperate, 'if I let myself get too close, hold him, touch him or be held, if I take his comfort now, I'll lose my nerve.' Lee had an overwhelming need to take Harry in his arms, forget all that had happened and forgive. He bit back the vulnerability that tried to fight its way to the surface.
Lee blinked seeing Harry's eyes, and realized, he too understood how difficult this would be. Harry's face seemed to mirror his own. "Harry?" He knew what Lee was asking, although the Captain never voiced the words.
Lee had so many things to express to Nelson. "Harry, I have absolutely no idea where to begin." In a heartbeat of silence Lee gathered his scattered thoughts. As he did, he also built confidence to continue. "I've thought about this and you know I've always been understanding and patient. I don't know what else to say except, I love you, only you. I'm not going to find someone else because I found the one I was looking for, you." Gazing back at Harry's features with moisture clouded vision. Lee found comprehension looking back at him.
Nelson didn't counter, waiting to see if Lee had more to say. Another awkward silence as Lee's words hung in the air. Breaking the quiet, "Lee, I'm an old man, worn out by any standards. I wouldn't blame you if you were attracted to someone like Chip. He's your age and much more attractive than this old tired body of mine." Looking directly into Lee's eyes, "I see the way he looks at you." All those things he said about trust seemed hollow, words with no meaning. "You could have Chip or for that matter, anyone."
"Admiral, that's your insecurity talking." Crane was surprised at Nelson's ability to recognize the longing that Morton tried so hard not to reveal to the world. "Harry, I trust him, as I do you, with my life...In love with him. No. Don't you understand, I can't return those feelings? Yes, he's a good friend...like a brother." Carefully controlled anger splashed across his face. "I want you, only you. Why can't you understand, if I can have anyone I want, why can't that be you?" To Lee, Harry's soul was ageless.
His voice softened. "You're not old, not to me. Never old," Lee's tone held great warmth. All his anger had faded away. The words escaped his lips in a trembling whisper, "I love you, Harry. Only you."
The Admiral reached up caressingly, and ran an affectionate finger over the plains of Lee's cheek. A great weight of sadness fell across Harry's heart. He tried to will it away, nothing helped. Stunned by Crane's admission of undying love. "Lee, I had no idea. I'm beginning to understand...the depth of your feelings for me. Please tell me you can forgive me...come back."
Lee seemed to struggle over the words that followed. "I don't know." He believed that mistakes could be forgiven as long as the motive is understood. "I'm not blaming you." Lee stood staring into Harry's eyes. "You know I will always love you." This close to Harry made his heart beat faster and his body urgent with need. He couldn't give in to Harry's touch, not now. Crane hardened his resolve, drawing his head back.
Harry's hand dropped, his formally calm face now flush with emotion. Harry made a concerted effort to change the direction, steering the conversation. "Did you mean what you said?" He needed to know if Lee had truly missed him. Crane gave him a questioning look. Harry repeated, "Did you mean it when you said that you missed me?"
Lee had to admit he'd missed Harry...loved Harry. "Yes, I do miss you, 'and I love you.' I can't go through it again. I don't want to experience your jealousy, your rage ever again. That's why I've stayed..." he let his words trail off, unsure how to proceed, "....away this long." What if this all goes wrong?
Harry could clearly see the hurt he had inflicted on the younger man, all those many months ago. Lee's bright hazel eyes displayed it all, the love, the longing, and the fear that intermingled with both. Not fear of his lover, fear of the Admiral's rage.
"What I saw...What I walked in on... Lee, it defined all my doubts, all at once." Harry's emotions recalled all too well the sight of Lee and Chip that fateful night, that horrible night.
"Are you ever going to be able to move past those doubts?" Lee's intense gaze required an honest answer.
Harry paused, as though searching carefully for the right words. "I guess. I'll have to live with my doubts." He could in time possibly dispel much of the jealousy, he thought, now that he knew the depth of his Captain's love for him.
"Is that the best you can come up with?" Lee looked at him with intensity, seeing Harry in a entirely new light, a level he didn't expect. Finding it difficult to articulate his feelings. They were all jumbled in his mind. "I...I never thought you capable of such jealousy...your insecurity about us, about me." Quietly. "It won't change, will it? The jealousy, I mean." Lee paused letting the question hang in the air as he struggled to understand. "It's always going to be with you, isn't it?"
"Yes. I believe it will, at least in some small measure." Harry never before loved anyone to this degree. "You do understand that the jealousy comes from loving you too much. Always expecting it to all be washed away by a more attractive younger suitor. I've never experienced this level of love before. It's new to me. I'm not proud of what I've done. Pushing you away as I did."
"I know that now. You have to understand...it looked..." The memories of that moment, as he walk through the door it all flooded back.
"It looked...but you wouldn't even listen to me." Lee's words sounded like a plea. "You blocked me out and jumped to your own conclusions without listening to me. You added to the hurt by walking out." Lee stated firmly. "Chip is only a friend. Yes, a good friend, but just a friend. I'm in love with you. No one else. How many ways can I say it, haven't I proven it with my actions?"
Nelson didn't need a reminder of the cold facts that Lee and Chip were friends, good friends. "Chip loves you...you must realized that, he has for a long time."
"Harry, I love him as a brother, I can't give him more. You have no reason to be jealous." Lee felt as if he were saying goodbye. He didn't want it to end this way. "There must be a way back for us."
"This is getting us nowhere." Nelson sank into the nearest chair feeling defeated. The knot of uneasiness in Harry stomach grew tighter. 'Lee is right, I never gave him a chance.' He had in the process, exposed Lee to all his hidden insecurities, in a way, betrayed him. Lee couldn't hide the sincerity shining through his bright eyes.
A ringing silence pressed in on Harry. An awareness settled in, like dawn breaking over the horizon. He understood with great clarity, how much Lee loved him. How deeply he had hurt his lover. "Lee, I am sorry. I'm aware how hollow this all sounds." He loved this man beyond all reason. That was the problem. He'd lost his reason for fear of losing Lee and it frightened him.
"What else can I say other than I'm sorry. I know...I've hurt you..." Harry grunted. "I'll promise not to be stupid in the future." Lee could see that Harry was trembling.
"If you feel this kind of jealousy again, promise me you'll stop and think and you'll always allow me the opportunity to explain." Lee could see a glimmer of hope. He smiled, "What happened to the bold Admiral I know? Always ready to tackle any challenge?"
"He became trapped in the tremendous fear of losing you." The thought of losing his lover caused an overwhelming ache in his heart. "Can you forgive me? Can we start fresh?"
The expression in Harry's eyes and the pleading tone of his voice caused Lee's heart to melt. "Harry, I'm willing to try, but I want to take it slow." Once again, he could feel the pull, the charisma that drew him to Nelson in the first place.
"I can agree to that. We can go as slow as you want, Lee." Harry gave Lee a small chuckle and a sideways grin. "How about dinner tomorrow night? Just dinner, get reacquainted. I'm simply asking you to share a meal with me."
"You know I agree with Chip Morton, Seaview and her crew 'and I' need you. She's not the same without her Skipper. You belong on Seaview, 'and with me, by my side always and forever.'"
Lee kept his voice firm, but could not stop the doubt that welled up inside. "Slow, Harry. Okay dinner, tomorrow night. We need to take it one step at a time." His face betrayed the slightest suggestion of a smile. "We can talk about the Institute and Seaview at dinner."
"You're right. We'll talk about all of it over dinner. Is that agreeable?" Lee could see the remorse in Harry's face... for how he had treated Crane...something he had rarely seen in his Admiral.
Harry's expression, miserable, a tragic look lay across his features. He lowered his head and spoke very softly. He picked his next words carefully. "We could start as friends, nothing more, until you're ready," he paused taking a deep breath, brows furrowed his voice grew a bit stronger. "I do want you in my life, in any way possible." Harry said somberly. If he did this wrong, he could do more harm to an already fragile relationship. 'I'll have him back,' Harry felt his own resolve in that...
Warmth flooded Lee at the depth of Harry's loving tone. He approached the Admiral, giving him a soft chaste kiss. "Agreed than, dinner tomorrow." This all felt shaky, fragile, as if one slight disagreement, like a stiff breeze, could topple it all to the ground, damaging it all beyond repair.
Harry smiled and his expression sparked a returned grin on Lee's features. "I can call you in the morning with the details, Lee."
When the Admiral departed, Lee stepped into his bath and threw cold water on his face and willed his body to cooperate. Being in such close proximity to Harry always aroused him. Deciding to ignore his subsiding erection he showered, preparing for bed. As he slid between the sheets, Harry's words rang in his ears, 'I do want you back in my life, in any way possible.'
In the small hours of the night his mind conjured bright images, inspired by his deep longing for Harry. The scent of the Admiral, the feeling, the rhythm all lingered and intensified as Harry's sex expanded moving within him, touching his soul. He grasped Nelson's shoulders as they both ascended on the same swell, sending them to the highest peeks of pleasure. Nelson exploded into Lee's body, bathing his insides with hot cream.
Harry collapsed, gasping for breath, his chest raising and falling against Lee's body, sticky and wet with semen. "Oh, Lee, that was too much." Harry reached to caress the Captain's sweat beaded cheek. "I love you." he said softly.
Crane rolled on his side and startled awake, he remembered the feelings, the chilled air. Disoriented he sat up, his body wet with sweat, the sheets twisted around his legs. Forcing himself fully awake, he blinked the sleep away, gazing across his bedroom.
With a shock, he realized. 'It had been a dream, only a dream.' Bringing home, in the bleak dawn the cold fact that Harry was not by his side. The anguish hit him like a wall, breaking his forced composure. Tears brimmed, winning their fight for dominance, silently streaking down his cheek. Fiercely he brushed them away. Lee lay there, wide awake, body exhausted but his brain swirled with a thousand racing thoughts. Lee closed his eyes and forced the images to recede.
In the night he felt the loneliness most of all. Its soft insistent whisper reached out from the shadows. Dreams at times show us the way, the truth of our souls. He closed his eyes for a moment, realizing all his dreams had turned to dust. 'No.' stubbornly, 'I'll not allow it to end this way.' Expressing a silent wish to find his way back.
It was a cozy restaurant, designed with privacy in mind. The interior dark, with a distinctive but tasteful decor. It consisted of many twists and turns, a virtual maze of tucked away tables with its hidden booths, all lending to its complete discretion and, of course, its charm.
The evening had started out awkward. But Harry looked very trim and handsome in his dark blue suit. At this sight, Lee attempted to wrangle his overloaded feelings and heart rate back in control.
Politely waiters disclosed their proximity to a patrons table with a small sound as they approached. Lee ordered another drink. He had no intentions of getting drunk; he simply needed a little liquid courage.
After the waiter took their order Harry asked for a bottle of champagne. The wine steward opened the bottle with great flare pouring the bubbly liquid into flutes. Lifting his glass Harry made a toast. “When I’m away from you I am lost. But, when I’m with you I am lost in you. Here's to us and new beginnings."
Lee took a sip of wine setting the glass down. He placed his hand on the table, palm down, sliding it to the center. Harry did the same, meeting Lee half way. Touching their fingers together, soft blue met hazel gold eyes as they lost themselves in their depths, reawakening emotions too long dormant.
Falling into a familiar pattern the night passed quickly with whispers and flirts that dropped into the quiet conversation of getting to know one another again. By the end of the meal Harry and Lee looked at each other as if no one else occupied the room.
Upon leaving the restaurant they headed for the parking lot. Harry turned in the semi darkness, "Lee, come back to the apartment for a drink. We could continue our conversation." Harry's eyes pleaded; all he wanted now was to be close to Lee.
Lee smiled, experiencing the same need to be close, not wanting to separate so soon. His eyes gleamed in the light. "Okay, I think that would be nice. There are things we need to say in private." Lee glanced around, guiding them both away from the lights. He took Harry's hand in his, he caressed the familiar touch. It sent shivers through him. "Yes, Harry, I think tonight we'll need more time." His voice filled with warmth. Bending, he lightly touched the Admiral's lips with his own. Harry felt his heart thump and he flushed as their lips parted.
Lee sat nervously in Harry's living room with his drink clutch tightly in his hands. To the casual observer the rich warm room appeared quite masculine, with dark wood paneling, floor to ceiling bookshelves covering one wall. Staged in front of the well appointed wall, a mahogany desk, to complement the desk a hand crafted fine leather chair. The carpet was plush, surrounded by hardwood flooring, a comfortable overstuffed sofa and matching chairs placed in the center of the room opposing a large fireplace. To Lee, Harry's apartment felt comfortable despite its expensive décor.
The familiar appearance of the room did little to dispel Lee's nervousness. He experienced a bit of restlessness, apprehension and admittedly fear, as he twisted his hands around his glass before placing it on the table. Lee rose from the chair to stand behind Harry. With no plan in mind he reached, wrapping his arm around from behind. Lee rested his chin lightly on Harry's shoulder. After one single touch, unable to stop, he pulled the Admiral close, simply enfolded him in a hug. Lee fought his own discomfort, willing himself to relax. "I've missed you, Harry." His heart began to pound fiercely, it echoed loudly in his ears, his voice quivered and he hesitated.
After several moments of silence Harry turned in Lee's arms, blue eyes looked up to meet Lee's expressive hazel. They were lit with an internal fire of love and lust. 'His lover looked so alive,' Harry thought, 'His hair mussed, his face bright with passion, a warm glow accentuated his tanned skin.' Excitement rippled through Harry at the sight. Every cell, every fiber, filled within him, his lips, his heart, ignited, set ablaze.
The Captain flashed that knee-weakening smile while gazing lovingly into Harry's vibrant blue eyes. He ran his fingers over Harry's soft lips, his face drew concerned. "My love, your trembling. Do I frighten you?"
Harry glided his hand up to caress Lee's cheek, "It's your fault...this close...you set me on fire."
Reaching down, Lee devoured Harry's mouth, assaulting him with lips and tongue. He explored every erotic inch of his lover's mouth, savoring the taste, letting the passion grow. "How's that? Is that what you wanted?"
Lee rubbed his hands over Harry's arms, every touch sensual, every embrace imbued with possession and passion. "Lee," Harry whispered, "Don't stop, just take me." Nelson couldn't hide the longing in his voice. He slid Lee's shirt down his arms. It flitted as it dropped to the floor. Nelson loved the feel of Lee's physique against him, bare flesh against bare flesh. It all led them in one glorious direction, to feel the ultimate joy. The joining of their bodies, becoming as one.
Harry leaned against Lee's naked chest as the Captain's tongue slid over his ear lobe and whispered. "I love you," kissing him soundly.
Harry breathed, not stepping out of the orb of Lee's arms. "Since the first time we were together, you not only whispered into my ear, but into my heart. It was not your lips that kissed me, but your soul. Never to be parted. I do love you. "
The two men were not strangers to making love to one another. Being apart for so long it had the feel of their first joining. Harry guided Lee to the bed, laying him down on the light green sheet that so accentuated Lee's olive skin, the color highlighted the green in Lee's hazel eyes.
The Captain's desire rose as he watched his lover undress. Harry lastly slipped off Lee's briefs, letting his proud erection spring free. "Lee, you're so beautiful. I've wanted to do this for so long." Harry kissed Lee, first on his eyes, than he moved to each cheek and gently he came down on Lee's full mouth parting his lips, entering with his tongue.
Removing the remainder of his own clothes. Harry leaned down, not rushing, choosing to first slowly kiss down Lee's body, licking every erogenous hot spot he could find. Warming oil in his hands he lightly stroked along Lee's sides with the back of his fingertips, moving up and down from the waist to under the arms. Lee sighed, "Oh Harry. I love the feel of your hands on my body." Every inch of him demanded that the Admiral's hands and mouth be everywhere at once.
Harry's hands came down firmly, blissfully assaulting the tense muscles of Lee's neck, moving to his shoulders. He caressed his arms, one at a time, ending with the worshiping of Lee's hands, fingers licking and sucking each one. Coating his hands with oil once more, "Your skin is so beautiful; it glows as I rub oil onto it." Leaving no spot untouched, before opening his legs wider, letting almond scented oil trickle down his anus, Lee squirmed under the erotic stimulation.
Lee reached forward to stroke Harry's cock. He moaned as Lee cupped and than very softly rubbed his erect organ grazing the sensitive slit. In response Harry stroked up and down the crease of Lee's ass. The Captain's body rippled like a river under his tender assault. Lee shuddered and gasped. Hot blood raced through Lee's body. "Don't look at me that way."
Harry spread his stance a bit more, arching his hips giving Lee more space to explore. A wicked smile pulled at Nelson's lips. "And just how am I looking at you, Captain?"
"As if you want to devour me," Lee felt a renewed wave of desire and shivered slightly, every nerve thrilled to life.
"It could be, that's just what I want." Nelson kissed him again, long and hard until Lee senses were burning with passion, stroking his firm silky skin, exploring his inner thighs, and the soft texture of his shapely genitals.
"Lee, I need to be ready for you." Lee devoted his attention to Harry by applying oil to his hard hot, throbbing organ, as it pulsed with life. "I want to feel your body all around my flesh."
The feel of Harry's index finger spreading, stroking the sensitive gland inside, was almost enough to send Lee over the edge. Lee could feel his own arousal as it beaded on his unattended head. "Not yet love; I want us to come together." Gripping the base of Lee's cock, slowing his pace as the rosy top glistened with moisture. Lee six inches of hardness waited for Harry's attention as his mind drifted in tune to his lover’s delicate ministrations. The thought of the pleasure being a breath away made his heart skip a beat, heightening his drive, his passion.
"I need to taste you," He leaned down licking pre-cum from Lee's cock. Reaching under Lee's writhing body, Harry inserted two than three slick fingers, teasing the tight opening, easing the passage. "You're so tight. Sucking the blood right out of my finger. It'll feel so good when I'm inside you, pulling the life right out of me."
Crane's craving grew stronger. The touch threatened his sanity. "I want you inside me, right now. Don't hold back. I want to be merged with you."
Sliding his fingers out, the muscles began to relax. Harry ground slowly into Lee, his body welcomed the intrusion. Fully impaling him until their hips were touching, nothing separated their bodies. Lee inhaled deeply as Nelson's bulk entered him. Harry slowed waiting for Lee to adjust, always mindful of not causing pain. Harry's mouth and fingers came down, pinched and nibbled, before licking and kissing Lee's nipples. Lee spread his legs wrapped them around Harry's waist pulling them closer. "I want all of you."
Lee drew him tighter as they made love, increasing the contact. The motion ebbed and flowed with every thrust and withdraw, as it heightened in pleasure. Gasping a little Harry thrust deeper. "My love, this is heaven. Want to bury myself in you. Make it last forever."
Lee bit his lower lip, rolling his eyes as the older mans cock convulsed and spasmed deep inside his body. Harry's cream suffused and flooded Lee's narrow channel. "Harry!" Lee cried out as they both were taken to the pinnacle of ecstasy, rising on the same tide of pleasure. With their bodies intertwined, Harry unloaded his life into his lover's willing body. Spilling his essence into Lee as they both tumbled over the precipice. Lee’s cock erupted, sending spurts of hot cream between their chests. Both sent over the edge by each loving stroke.
Harry lowered his soft warm lips to Lee's stomach licking his spilt cream. Lee found himself hungrily captured by Harry's mouth, as Harry returned the salty substance to his lover in a long deep kiss. Lee accepted the kiss and the creamy substance, tasting greedily, passionately, until they were breathless. "I always taste good on you." Lee relaxed, smiling into Harry's eyes. Harry collapsed over Lee's chest, completely spent.
Lee cradled the Admiral's head against his shoulder. Harry mumbled, "I promise I'll never let you go again." Their woven bodies drifted into a peaceful sleep.
Nelson gazed back at the sleeping Captain. Lee was tall and lean to Harry's short bulky frame but he found the differences beautiful. My red hair, blue eyes and fair skin a contrast to his dark hair and golden edged amber eyes. Lee was also quite a complement to the rooms surroundings of sea green. The light walls and the delicately cut Chinese rug gave the room an elegance, enhanced by the large faceted window that faced the ocean. He loved this view, both, out the windows and in his bed. A table and chairs added to the comforts of the room. With Lee asleep nearby, at last, Harry never wanted to leave unless they both grew hungry for something other than each other.
It hadn't been easy but he had Lee back, returned to him. It had been an unexpected turn of events, one Harry could not have predicted occurring quite so soon. But he'd certainly take it. Lee's soft anxious, innocent voice roused him out of his brief but pleasant daydream. "Harry, where are you?"
The moonlight cast a silver glow over Nelsons body causing the ghostly light to form a halo around Harry's head. Lee stared at the beautiful illusion, not able to look away. "What are you doing all the way over there?"
Taking Harry's outstretched hand Lee guided him back to bed wanting to forget the world once again. "No sad thoughts, no insecurities, not tonight love." Lee whispered.
"Just grateful I have you back." In a quiet voice, "I almost lost you twice. Once with the destruction of the Vulcan and again when I pushed you away."
"I said no sad thoughts. We're together. That's all that matters." Lee stroked his hand down Harry's face reaching in to kiss his warm lips. "Now come here and hold me, I missed you holding me most of all. ...always feel safe with your arms around me."
'So beautiful.' Harry thought as he wrapped his strong arms around Lee. "How can I resist?" Stroking Lee's hair, "You are always safe with me. I love you." Lee had reclaimed the safe haven his soul had craved for so long.
Once settled, Harry inclined. "Go back to sleep, my love." Lifting his hand Harry brushed an errant curl from Lee's forehead. "I'll be right here when you wake." As their bodies embraced, Lee tucked his head under Harry's chin and slipped back into a peaceful sleep.
In their slumber their bodies never strayed far from one another. Clinging together to each other, holding tight, as if afraid they would be parted again.
Yet he still had reservations... about Nelson...his temper, his insecurities and the jealousy. Harry had promised to always talk things out. Not to jump to conclusions. Lee said quietly, "I'd like to come back to you and Seaview. But my contract at the naval base could pose a problem. It has eight months remaining. I have an obligation to fulfill it."
Nelson looked at him, not wanting to believe what he had just heard, “If you are truly serious about coming, 'he almost said home,' back to the Institute and Seaview as her Captain. I can take care of your contract as soon as I get back to my office. You could be aboard Seaview by tomorrow evening... or.... is that too soon?"
Lee considered that a moment. He really had nothing keeping him in San Francisco except the contract. He had missed Seaview, the crew and of course, Harry. "That would be fine Admiral." As an afterthought with a little smile, he jokingly said, "I wonder if the beach house I rented is still available?"
The Admiral said, with a lighter heart and some genuine hope. "If that's the only problem... You're sure now, Lee?"
"Well, we can find temporary living space for you at the Institute or better yet, you can stay with me." Nelson thought to himself, 'Lee, home again.'
Taking Harry at his word, he released all his worries and breathed sleepily, "I fell like I'm finally home." Lee's face flashed the most radiant smile, as if the intervening months had never happened. "Home, where I belong," Relaxing his body letting it melt into Nelson's recumbent form. He curled himself around Harry's body, sighing happily, knowing they would always be bound together, heart and soul. He slipped off to sleep.
Harry rolled over, and looked at the beautiful young man lying beside him. The dim light in the room accentuated his dark olive skin and dark hair. He delighted at the sighs Lee made in his sleep, both familiar and comforting. Closing his eyes Harry thought, 'Lee had given himself body and soul to me. Lee had opened his heart.' The Admiral needed to protect that trust, accept the fact that Lee would not stray, not go looking elsewhere for love. To the Captain, Nelson was his whole world.
Gazing down again he smiled. In this state Lee looked like a small boy, the image sat in contrast to his unshaven jaw line. Smiling he remembered their lovemaking of the night before. Lee's unshaven face as it blazed a fiery path against and down Harry's stomach.
Lee's eyelids fluttered and his long lashes lifted to reveal smoldering amber eyes. He stared directly up into Harry's face seeming not to know him for a brief moment. "Harry?" Lee reached up a hand and gently stroked Harry's cheek, smiling. The gesture so touched Nelson's heart it gave a soft flutter in response. "What time is it? It can't be morning already?
"It's oh six hundred, my love. You don't want to be late on your first day back." Harry bent to delicately kiss Lee's cheek, delighting in the simple contact.
Lee grumbled, "Harry." He glanced up, looking to the bedside table where an antique clock sat. Grabbing hold of Nelson's shoulders he rolled them both over, "We still have a little time..." A wicked smile ran across the Captain's lips. | OSCAR-2019 |

"I have never been involved in a more successful fundraising event for an 'out-of-state,' non-Presidential candidate here in the Hartford area! That's both a tribute to the work that Senator Brown is doing and extreme dissatisfaction with Elizabeth Warren's radical agenda on the issues that matter most," the organizers wrote in the invitation. "Elizabeth Warren's command performance at the Democratic National Convention showed her true political identity and what we can expect from her if she's elected – simply put, it's scary! If you missed her prime time speech, take a few minutes to view it on You Tube. That alone should give you plenty of incentive to do what you can to support Senator Brown." | https://www.masslive.com/politics/2012/09/sen_scott_brown_headed_to_conn.html | 2022/05/16 16:18:27 | mC4 |

by Liz Magnanti; photos by Jane Milliman
The approaching fall brings with it that magical time when garden centers put their perennials on sale! Now is a great time to get a head start on your garden for next year. Planting in the fall gives the plants a chance to get their root systems growing and can make for more successful growth the next year. Here are some of my favorite flowering plants that are both beautiful and will attract birds and butterflies.
This plant attracts hummingbirds to it like no other plant or feeder I have in the garden. It has one- to three-foot-tall spikes of beautiful scarlet flowers that are a fantastic source of nectar. It thrives in wet conditions but will also do well in an average garden setting. The plant doesn't live long, but because it self-sows it will reseed itself each year.
I have always had success with Joe Pye weed no matter where I plant it. It thrives in sunny locations but will bloom even in shade. The plant can grow tall after several years—sometimes up to eight feet! Joe Pye is a wonderful source of nectar for bees and butterflies, and juncos and finches will eat its seeds over the winter. I suggest planting this in a place in the garden that has been unsuccessful in growing other plants. Just make sure to prepare for how tall it can get.
Coneflower is great because you can find it everywhere. There are many varieties in pink, purple, white, yellow, and orange—some tall, some short. There is a type of coneflower for any empty sunny spot you are looking to fill. The flower provides nectar for butterflies, especially monarchs, silver-spotted skippers, and swallowtails. When it goes to seed it's a treat for goldfinches all winter long.
The milkweed plant is essential to the development of the monarch butterfly. The female monarch lays her eggs on the plant and, once those eggs hatch, the caterpillars are leaf-eating machines. The flowers milkweed produces contain nectar that feeds butterflies as well as bees and other pollinators. My favorite milkweed is the orange variety called butterfly weed. (Asclepias tuberosa.) Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is the other variety you will most often find in garden centers. This species can be pink, purple, or white in color. The common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) that is usually found in fields is great in large gardens, but can easily overtake other plants in a small one. Milkweed is easy to grow from seed. It has large, showy seed pods that can be collected once the pods become dry and begin to split.
When gardening for pollinators it is important to plant a variety of flowers that will bloom throughout the season. Asters are small, fall-blooming flowers that tend to flower during the time many birds are migrating. Hummingbirds will sip from its flowers as they make their way down south for the winter. Butterflies such as the clouded sulphur, painted lady, and red admiral will also drink its nectar. Chickadees and finches will eat aster seeds throughout the winter.
Sedums like 'Autumn Joy' are another type of plant that blooms late in the season, giving honeybees and other insects a source of pollen and nectar at the end of the summer and fall. Wild stonecrop (Sedum ternatum) is a shade-tolerant species that makes a great ground cover in the garden. This variety blooms in April to May. It makes a wonderful garden edge and will grow in rock gardens.
Bee balm is one of my favorites for a few reasons. It is an herb that has a great smell and can be used in cooking! Even better, its blooms attract hummingbirds and seem to be a favorite flower of the hummingbird clearwing moth. This day-flying moth gets its name from looking strikingly similar to the hummingbird and having very similar flying and feeding behaviors!
Although not native, the butterfly bush is like a magnet to butterflies. I have yet to find another nectar-producing plant that comes close to attracting butterflies to the garden. This plant is very hardy and can even beplanted in containers. Many different colors are available, including some that are tri-color or rainbow. The leaves of the plant won't offer nutrition to caterpillars, but the flowers attract enough butterflies to make up for that.
All of the plants listed here, with the exception of the butterfly bush, are natives. Not only is this good for our local wildlife, but it also means they often require less maintenance. Once established, these plants will need very little extra attention, be it watering or fertilizing. The next few weeks are a perfect time to fill in any holes you have in your garden, and you should be able to get perennials at a great deal! Take advantage of it and you will thank yourself come spring!

This summer we had an unusual number of flies congregating near our back door. In my search for a homemade fly repellent, I found solutions that included spraying pine scented cleaner, burning coffee grounds, and inserting whole cloves into lemon halves, all of which are purported to offend the olfactory systems of these annoying insects.
One method utilized in Latin America seemed ridiculous to me, but I gave it a go since I had the materials on hand: Place three to five pennies in a plastic zipper bag, fill it halfway with water, then hang outside where the problem occurs.
Surprisely, it worked! But the execution wasn't pretty—definitely not up to "Crafty Cathy" standards. Additional research uncovered that using an incandescent light bulb with tubes and filaments removed also works—and it looks trendy. I chose to hunt for a bulbous vase instead, and my shopping excursion netted a cool find: a light bulb–shaped glass jar.
Check out this post on the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation site: www.tnfarmbureau.org/pennies-bags-water-make-flies-flee
1 small bulbous vase or jar*
3 or 4 pennies
Drill and a 1∕16 inch bit (optional)
* Make sure the neck of vase is large enough to fit a penny through. If you decide to use an old light bulb instead, there are tutorials on the Internet showing safe removal of incandescent bulb insides.
1. Use needle nose pliers to bend wire into a nearly closed loop.
2. Hold loop in place and wind wire around vase. Slip wire through open loop and bend upward.
3. Create a looped wire handle, then cut and slip the end under wire as shown.
4. Use pliers to create a second loop. If desired, go on to steps 5 and/or 6 before completing project. To finish, fill vase with water nearly to top, add three pennies, then hang from desired location with S hook.
5. Optional: Wrap wire around top of vase. Create an unclosed loop of wire and hook it on loop created in step 1. Wrap as desired, finishing near starting point. Cut wire then slip the end through the first loop and bend backward.
6. Optional: Suspend a penny. Drill a hole in a penny as shown. Thread fishing line through hole and tie. Lower penny into vase to desired location, then tie other end of fishing line to one side of wire handle created in step 3. | http://upstategardenersjournal.com/tag/september-october-2018/ | 2019/05/25 17:22:16 | mC4 |

A literary analysis essay doesn't summarize the e book content material. When you're confronted with so many choices for hiring a writing company, you clearly must be cautious, since you need to rent the perfect essay service. Simply think about it: should you wanted a paper of average high quality with no timely supply ensures, you'd merely ask your parents to write down this paper for you. Or you'd paraphrase some online sources, right? However you do not need that. You need a hundred% distinctive content material that is brilliantly written. You need an skilled author to complete it for you, and you will get expert assistant only from the perfect essay writing service.
Nobody is born knowing the right way to analyze literature; it is a skill you learn and a process you can grasp. As you acquire more apply with this sort of thinking and writing, you can craft a way that works greatest for you. But till then, listed here are seven primary steps to writing a properly-constructed literary essay.
Reference: Studying other people's arguments and putting them in your paper sounds a wee bit like plagiarism, right? That is why we reference. Whole writing kinds exist so you'll be able to clearly state your sources. Ask your teacher which they prefer. Modern Language Association ( MLA ) style is the format of alternative for English and the humanities. University of Chicago model is also widespread. Likewise American Psychological Association, or APA We have linked our personal guides to each format.
The essay needs to be your interpretation and it should be primarily based in your reading of the article. It may be a mix of your opinion and references to the criticism of others. Be cautious of plagiarism and of criticizing extra skilled writers as a result of it might hinder your response to the work. Literary essays are written to tell the reader and give a message. It shouldn't be written to steer anybody but what folks think just isn't under your management. Literary essays could be long, as long as 8000 phrases, but when you have been given a particular length for the essay, stick to it.
Avoid plot summary. The principle function of an English paper is to advance an argument. As a general rule, mention solely plot particulars which are related to your argument. You may often must contribute a small amount of further details about the storyline to make your analysis coherent, however maintain the abstract to a minimal, and go away plenty of area for your personal ideas. You can usually assume that your reader is aware of the narrative properly.
Professionalism. Professional essay writers take all writing jobs significantly, whether it is a straightforward or troublesome topic. Our writers are all professionals, which implies they're skilled sufficient to know and perceive the urgency of the duties appointed to them. With this, they know higher than to procrastinate and take your essay as a right.
Great works of literature are complex; nice literary essays acknowledge and explain these complexities. Perhaps the title Completely happy Days completely disagrees with the e-book's subject matter (hungry orphans dying within the woods). Perhaps the main character acts a technique around his family and a completely different way around his friends and associates. If you'll find a method to clarify a work's contradictory components, you have bought the seeds of an excellent essay.
We could discuss some bold goals a literary evaluation essay should obtain however let us be trustworthy, the principle purpose of this paper is to prove to your professor that you just actually learn the assigned text and analyzed it from varied views. At this level, you need to be sure you understand the phrase 'analyze' accurately. It could be convenient to mistake 'analyze' for 'summarize' but evaluation is more difficult and requires college students to break down the textual content into elements and examine how each of them contributes to the writer's which means.
A literary or crucial evaluation follows the identical format as most other essays, on condition that it requires an introduction, a thesis assertion, the physique and lastly an evaluation conclusion. At the end of the introduction, you will to kill a mockingbird title meaning embody your thesis statement. It is recommended for it to be in a single sentence. That rule will push you in direction of readability and scarcity.
When presenting evidence from the literature piece to help some extent, begin with the evidence that finest strengthens your level, and add the remainder in reducing order of relevance. Be aware that secondary sources may be used as a basis for supporting your argument further. Nonetheless, it's crucial that such sources remain secondary and not the main proof behind any argument you present within the paper. | http://ebadu.in/a-background-in-root-factors-in-example-literary-analysis/ | 2021/11/29 20:30:25 | mC4 |

asymmetric brownian motion
some papers claim asymmetric (anisotropic) brownian motion
Macroscopic anisotropic Brownian motion is related to the directional movement of a "Universe field"
"which is believed to be completely random and obeys the Gaussian distribution [9-]11]. Therefore, it can be assumed that the macroscopic diffusion regime of a group of particles such as a very small amount of colloid solution suspended in a liquid should theoretically be isotropic (symmetric) in a relatively long-term diffusion process when the influence of gravity is neglected, which means that the particles of this colloid solution should diffuse equally in every direction in two dimensions because of the concentration gradient effect (steady-state diffusion, Fick's first law) and Brownian motion. Here, an experimental method was designed to observe the macroscopic diffusion regime of a toluidine blue colloid solution in water in a relatively long-term process (40 min) at different time points of the earth's spin and revolution. Unexpectedly, an anisotropic (asymmetric) diffusion regime that presented circadian and seasonal changes was identified"

way to detect solar systems motion against æther?
I played around with some toluidine blue colloid myself, beautiful brownian motion. This substance quite cool.
To test out if 24 hour cycle (+365 day cycle) one need very well leveled table I think. I did not have that and got same asymmetry every time (just some for fun AGBM watching), due to this I think, and be aware of how the blue colloid drops are dropped.
key words, skewness.
and nice to watch brownian motion live, real, not just some man made prices jumping around on the screen
when playing with this blue brownian motion fluid use glows, it will go stright through your skin and into the cells, and the brownian motion will continue inside your body parts, it is not like stock prices that are trapped inside your screen and not jumping out at you!

I tried a handful off colloidal at my shelf while waiting on the toluidine blue (ordered it from USA, Norway sellers took about 600% margin or so, not so unusual). They disperse so fast in water, less than the blink of an eye, so then hard to watch their entropy dance without "expensive" equipment, well a fast camera not so expensive. The beauty of toluidine blue is its slow entropy!
Nothing is like the toluidine blue's entropy dance! Slow, elegant and beautiful!
Is that slow diffusion due to particle size?
The internets seem reticent on the topic of exactly what's in toluidine blue colloid. The toluidine blue dye seems obvious enough but what is the colloidal substance?
June 14th, 2018, 8:32 pm
I am not sure what the colloidal substance is, or if it even is "colloidal"? but this stuff is also good to tattoo chromosomes, for example with your favorite equations, or staining the DNA as some call it. | https://forum.wilmott.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=101348&p=829334 | 2019/03/19 01:12:57 | mC4 |

'Constantine' ratings cursed on Halloween
November 01, 2014 AT 03:26 PM EDT
NBC's Constantine took a tumble in the ratings Friday night. The Halloween episode of the freshman supernatural thriller had only 3.1 million viewers and 0.9 rating among adults 18-49. That's down 36 percent from last week's premiere. Constantine lead-in Grimm (4.5 million, 1.1) fell too, but a bit less than the new show (21 percent).
Of course, Friday nights are tough in general, and the Halloween holiday can make it even tougher for shows to draw viewers. Overall TV usage levels last night were down 10 percent from last week when Fox aired Game 3 of the World Series. But don't tell that to ABC's Shark Tank (7.6 million, 2.0), which went up 11 percent. In fact, this marks a season high for the deal-making reality show.
Also Friday in the demo: CBS' Amazing Race (1.1) was up a tick, Hawaii Five-O (1.1) was steady and Blue Bloods (1.1) dropped slightly. ABC's Last Man Standing (1.2) and Cristela (1.0) were basically steady. Fox's Utopia (0.5) is doing really terrible. | http://www.ew.com/article/2014/11/01/constantine-ratings-2/ | 2017/11/20 13:45:08 | mC4 |

0 | example_15719 | The food you put in your mouth has a major effect on weight loss or gain. Bad habits add up to weight gain over time just as good habits prevent weight gain. The New England Journal of Medicine published a report showing that small lifestyle choices add up to big weight gain over the years.
The Military Diet is great for rapid weight loss, but small changes and tweaks to your lifestyle can prevent weight gain over time. Eliminating just one serving per day of the following foods makes a big change over a period of four years, according to the study.
Not surprisingly, adding foods like full fat yogurt, coconut oil and eggs help with weight LOSS, but read on to find out what foods consistently cause weight gain over the years.
Foods to Avoid When Trying to Lose Weight
French Fries and Potato Chips
Potato chips are possibly the surest way to gain weight. French fries and potato chips are very high in calories and it’s easy to eat too many of them. In fact, potato chips may contribute to more weight gain per serving than any other food! Whole potatoes are healthy and filling, a way better choice. Boiled potatoes are considered the best and healthiest way to get your spuds.
Processed Foods
Highly processed food constitutes almost 60% of food eaten in the United States! Processed foods include meat nuggets, frozen meals, soft drinks and foods high in additives. A study done at the NIH Clinical Center showed that even when two different groups of people eat the same amount of calories, but one group eats processed food and the other group eats unprocessed food, the first group gains weight because processed food is often high in sugar, fat and salt and low in fiber.
Candy Bars
Candy bars taste so good but are so unhealthy with all their added sugar, oil and refined flour. Despite their small size, candy bars pack a big caloric punch, about 300 calories on average. It’s so tempting to get a quick fix with a candy bar but the calories are empty and you’ll be hungry an hour later. Candy bars are strategically placed on shelves to encourage an impulse buy, but look just a little further and pick up a bag of nuts or an apple instead.
Soda
Soda is one of the unhealthiest form of calories you can ingest. When consumed in excess, soda has disastrous effects on weight gain. Soda is so bad because getting your calories in liquid form doesn’t make you feel full or satisfied and you end up overcompensating when you do eat, but still have the extra calories of soda on top of your regular food intake. If you’re serious about losing weight forever, kick soda to the curb for good.
White Bread
White bread doesn’t hold a candle to whole grain bread. White bread is highly refined with a ton of added sugar – that’s what makes it taste so good and that’s why you want to keep eating more. This kind of bread spikes your blood sugar levels and should be avoided at all costs. Eating two slices of white bread per day increases your risk of obesity and weight gain by 40% according to this study.
Fruit Juice
Fruit juice sounds healthy in theory, but in practice, the stuff you find on the grocery store shelves bears little resemblance to the fruit after which it is named. Fruit juice sometimes contains more sugar and calories than soda. And removing the pulp from fruit juices is even worse because you don’t get the fullness provided by the fiber. When you eat an actual orange, the juice and the fiber balance eat other out, so stick to whole fruits when you get a craving for something fruity.
Processed meats
Keto lovers will tell you meat is great for your diet, but it really depends on what kind of meat you’re eating. Bacon, hotdogs and sausage are super processed with lots of added sodium. Swap out processed meat for organic and free range meat to avoid weight gain.
Baked goods
Cookies, cakes and pastries are a no brainer when it comes to weight gain because they contain so much sugar and refined flour. Their abundance of trans fats are also harmful and contribute to weight gain. Cookies and cake satisfy in the short term, but you will be hungry shortly after eating these low nutrient, low fiber and high calorie snacks. The healthiest and most luxurious treat is a piece of dark chocolate.
Beer
Beer is especially bad for weight gain in the form of belly fat. Beer matches soft drinks sip for sip in calories. High in calories and carbs, beer also prevents the body from burning fat because it prioritizes burning alcohol when you drink beer. They phytoestrogen content of beer is what causes hormonal changes in men that increases belly fat storage, causing the ‘beer belly’ phenomenon.
Fancy Coffee Drinks
High calorie coffee drinks also match soda sip for sip in calories. Caffeine boosts your metabolism and is a part of the Military Diet, but plain coffee is the way to go for weight loss instead of weight gain. Adding so much artificial cream, flavor shots and sugar to your Starbucks order cancels out the metabolism boosting effect of caffeine.
Pizza
Honestly, who doesn’t love pizza. Nobody wants to give it up forever, but commercial pies are very unhealthy with all that refined flour and processed meat. You can still enjoy a healthier pizza if you make it at home with healthier ingredients. Then you know how much sugar is in the sauce and where your meat and cheese come from. | https://themilitarydiet.com/food-to-avoid-for-weight-loss/ | 2022-11-28T07:42:47Z | OSCAR-2301 |

ActiveCampaign stands amongst the finest marketing automation tools in the market. Although it's not as complete as our Editors' Choice tools Pardot and HubSpot ( 50. Buy Active Campaign Online Coupons 30 Off.00 Per Month at HubSpot), ActiveCampaign, is sufficient to assist most businesses accomplish standard and slightly intricate goals. The tool provides lots of pre-built workflows that can be personalized to match your specific requirements.
The tool is drag and drop at every phase, so you're never ever stuck in unlimited scrolls through dozens and dozens of alternatives the way you remain in tools like Zoho Campaigns ($ 5.00 at Zoho Campaigns) and SendinBlue . Workflows are triggered by among 22 contact triggers (a websites is checked out, it's someone's birthday, Tom opens an e-mail, etc.).
ActiveCampaign makes it simple to adjust workflows without having to leave the design template. For example: You can produce emails directly within your workflow without having to hop back and forth in between the automation and e-mail campaign control panels. This sounds standard, but we found that half of the tools we checked lacked this back feature.
The tool's Split Action feature lets you A/B test for everything: emails, wait times, SMS versus email, or any kind of custom action you have actually produced within the tool. Split Action also lets you separate the kinds of deals individuals receive based upon when they enter the workflow; this is a good way to reward early risers throughout time-sensitive promos.
So, for example, if someone buys during the very first phase of a nurturing campaign, you can include the Goals tag to avoid the contact to the upsell or resell stage of a workflow. Accomplishing a goal is among the start sets off ActiveCampaign offers, so you can automatically include someone to a new workflow if they finish the workflow when they accomplish the goal.

This offers you the ability to automate the sales pipeline by adding into the CRM lineup once they have actually registered for a deal. You can designate contacts to particular sales people. You can add relationship-driven jobs, or notes, so that you're constantly in interaction from marketing to sales.
Regrettably, ActiveCampaign is still behind the industry's frontrunners in terms of its ability to publish material to social media, and to work within the tool to perform search market research, and to use search marketing information to enhance projects (something Pardot does in a genius fashion). ActiveCampaign doesn't provide an iOS or Android app, which is entirely inappropriate.
ActiveCampaign offers a lot of features for a fairly low rate. The downside is that it can be confusing to use at times; the good news is, its assistance resources are plentiful, and if you're really lost you can open a live chat with support. With a variety of third-party combinations and custom auto-responders, most users will be pleased with its offerings.
Many third-party combinations and auto-responder choices. Excellent online support. Relatively brief totally free trial. No phone assistance. Busy control panel. ActiveCampaign offers a great deal of marketing functions, which leads to a messy user interface, though that's stabilized by its high quality online assistance.
2019– 08:18 pm After years of research, numerous years ago I changed from MailChimp to ActiveCampaign. Why do I love ActiveCampaign so much? I have actually already done my MailChimp vs. ActiveCampaign contrast. Now it's time to do an ActiveCampaign review. This review is also available as a video, and on your favorite e-reader.
If you use my link, you get this totally free trial, and I get a commission at no additional expense to you. It's an excellent method to thank me for this review, and to make it possible for me to make more reviews like this one. Here's what I like about ActiveCampaign, together with why that fits my organisation.
My personality is such that I wish to think up the proper way to do my email marketing, and then I want to develop exactly that. I can always do that with ActiveCampaign. I personally have a hard time being restricted by a tool. However some people are proficient at that. MailChimp was exceptionally limited, and that didn't fit me and my organisation.
This is because they have a visual, drag-and-drop editor. They were the first service I stumbled upon that had a drag-and-drop editor, besides InfusionSoft– which I wanted to avoid since everyone was calling it "confusionsoft." The minute I saw ActiveCampaign's automation home builder, I remained in love. Numerous other services have visual editors now, and I'm not exactly sure which ones were just following ActiveCampaign's lead.
You're most likely doing e-mail marketing due to the fact that you have some objective you wish to meet your potential customers. With ActiveCampaign, you can track the success of your efforts with objective tracking. Because you can do practically anything with ActiveCampaign, your objective can be just about anything– whether that's registering for a webinar, or buying a product.
ActiveCampaign has the finest deliverability in the business. This wasn't easily apparent to me. I do believe MailChimp had good deliverability, and I once had a deliverability concern with ActiveCampaign (that support quickly corrected for me). However according to a recent report by Email Tool Tester, ActiveCampaign leads the industry with a 97% deliverability rate.
ActiveCampaign has actually advanced tiers of service. Switching email marketing platforms is a discomfort, so you hate to have to switch merely since your organisation grows. With ActiveCampaign, you can upgrade to a "Pro"- level plan, which has additional features such as lead scoring, a CRM, SMS marketing, and on-site chat. ActiveCampaign has competitive prices.
No e-mail marketing platform is perfect. Here are things that have actually bothered me about ActiveCampaign: Clunky e-mail editing experience. I got spoiled with MailChimp's e-mail editor. It's the most convenient to use. ActiveCampaign's email editor has some strange quirks that slow me down. Cumbersome to modify several emails in an automation.
ConvertKit is the best at this experience. You have to construct everything from scratch. Numerous email marketing platforms have faster ways for doing particular things, such as determining inactive contacts, adjusting granular subscription preferences, or providing lead magnets. However on ActiveCampaign, you need to build all of these from scratch, which steepens the discovering curve.
When I first signed up with ActiveCampaign, efficiency was painfully sluggish. I think they were experiencing growing pains, as they have actually rapidly grown to be a dominant e-mail marketing platform. Performance has actually improved considerably, however I still periodically experience sluggish efficiency, primarily in viewing reports. The features can be overwhelming. Since you can do anything with ActiveCampaign, there are a lot of functions to sort through.
If you aren't willing to put in time to discover the ins and outs of ActiveCampaign, you might be much better off with a more simple platform, such as MailChimp, and even ConvertKit is more basic. Now that I have the basic details out of the way, let me tell you about my viewpoint.
I'm an author and podcaster. I build my list with lead magnets and email courses, and I routinely send out initial material. I never buy nor sell emails. I sell online courses. In addition to my books, I sell online courses direct to my audience. My payment processor is SendOwl, and ActiveCampaign integrates with them wonderfully.
I often offer my courses by means of live and evergreen webinars (Buy Active Campaign Online Coupons 30 Off). My webinar platform is WebinarJam, and ActiveCampaign again incorporates with them magnificently. I do periodic affiliate marketing. Some e-mail marketing platforms frown upon affiliate marketing if you're doing it really greatly. I do just periodic affiliate marketing, and I haven't had any issues with ActiveCampaign.
ActiveCampaign has actually always been developed to have automations. This is a contrast to a few of the original email marketing platforms that have actually been around for a lot longer, such as MailChimp and AWeber. AWeber and MailChimp both have automations, however they are restricted (Buy Active Campaign Online Coupons 30 Off). Minimal automations was one of the primary reasons I changed from MailChimp to ActiveCampaign.
Automations allow you to instantly send emails to contacts based upon a variety of factors, such as when they signed up, and just how much they are engaging with your e-mails. Let's take a look at a few of the foundation of ActiveCampaign's automations. ActiveCampaign has a substantial library full of automation "dishes (Buy Active Campaign Online Coupons 30 Off)." ActiveCampaign has a library loaded with pre-built automations.
To begin constructing an automation in ActiveCampaign, start with a "trigger." There are a variety of ways you can trigger an automation, consisting of: When a tag is added When a contact registers for a list When a contact sends a kind E-commerce and on-site options (readily available in the "Pro" strategy) When the contact reaches a particular point in another automation.
From there, you can begin developing the actions in your automation. Buy Active Campaign Online Coupons 30 Off. Some actions that are available in ActiveCampaign's automations are: Send an email Notify a staff member Wait conditions If/then conditionals Split traffic for testing Avoid to other parts of the automation Track goals (The contact can avoid to the objective's location in the automation.) Start or end another automation, or end the existing automation Post a webhook Subscribe or unsubscribe the contact to/from lists Update contact details Include and remove tags Include a note Lead scoring, SMS and website messages, and Facebook Customized Audience management are all "Pro" functions.
Contrast with ConvertKit's Automations, which are more restricted. On ConvertKit, you can trigger an automation when: The contact sends a type The contact purchases A tag is contributed to the contact A custom-made field is updated with a specific value From there, you can create Conditions, to examine whether the contact has a particular tag or customized field worth.
You can also create Events, which are a bit like ActiveCampaign's Goals, however without the reporting. You can track an Event when: A tag is included or gotten rid of The contact makes a purchase A date takes place A custom field is upgraded with a specific value You don't develop emails in ConvertKit's Automations.
For more on how ActiveCampaign compares to ConvertKit, read my ConvertKit vs ActiveCampaign comparison. The primary method I build my list is through an e-mail course. ActiveCampaign makes it simple for me to construct my e-mail course exactly how I 'd like to develop it. Numerous online marketers build very basic email sequences for their "e-mail courses." A contact register, and then that contact immediately begins getting lessons.
It was easy to develop with ActiveCampaign, but difficult when I was with MailChimp. I do not do that approach. My e-mail course is by hand synced with this countdown timer on my website. You have to sign up by Friday night, and a brand-new course begins each Monday morning. When I first attempted this approach, I was on MailChimp.
Here's the automation I utilize to invite brand-new trainees to my Style Pitfalls course. There's a few things going on here: The automation sends out all contacts a "welcome email." The automation validates that it's not Friday. If it's not Friday, the automation waits until it is Friday. At 11am, it sends a "pump up" e-mail to get the students all set for next week's course, and motivate them to share it with friends. | https://www.zionlutherancorvallis.org/activecampaignreview/buy-active-campaign-online-coupons-30-off/ | 2021/10/17 06:07:01 | mC4 |
4 | example_66558 | Public Service denies that any age discrimination was involved in the layoffs. Stutz calls Rust's lawsuit "an unfortunate aspect of downsizing" and says many employers who go through large layoffs see a spate of lawsuits from workers who are let go. "We feel it's a natural outcome of any job reduction that you see these kinds of suits," he adds.
The company has eliminated 1,700 positions since 1994. Public Service now has about 4,800 employees, and hundreds more will lose their jobs after the merger goes through.
The downsizing is essential for the company to stay competitive, Stutz says. Many consumers may find it strange that Colorado's largest monopoly power company worries about competition, but Public Service is convinced that the days of guaranteed profits and captive customers are coming to an end.
Although the time when a typical homeowner can choose what company supplies him with electricity is still a long way off, companies like Public Service have reason to be concerned about losing their largest customers. A nationwide grid of power lines has made it increasingly easy to move power from one part of the country to another, and some industrial users have found ways to buy cheaper power from utilities hundreds of miles from home, a practice known as "retail wheeling." Many large companies and institutions are also producing their own power independent of Public Service, including Coors Brewing Company and the University of Colorado.
"Deregulation is coming for the utility industry," says Stutz. "We can't operate in the same manner we used to. We're going to go from a monopoly industry to one that is market-driven. We have to be the low-cost provider in our area. Downsizing was necessary for us to streamline our operations."
And the downsizing continues. Public Service employees, who are now bracing for the post-merger round of layoffs, resent the package deals for top PSC managers. "You're getting laid off with a minimal severance package, and they get beaucoup bucks," says one employee who asked not to be named. "Del Hock said nobody has a right to lifetime employment and then gives himself a multimillion-dollar bonus."
While employee anger at the bonuses wasn't unexpected, the vehement protests of Public Service shareholders, who will all get stock in the new company, took PSC execs by surprise. "The shareholders feel the golden parachutes are unneeded and outrageous," says Gerald Armstrong, a longtime Public Service stockholder. "Why do they need golden parachutes when they're automatically rehired for the new company? The shareholders have never had any benefit from golden parachutes."
Adding insult to injury, those who own stock in the company will be paying for the bonuses, since Public Service has already told Colorado regulators that it won't pass that cost on to ratepayers. Many shareholders say they feel helpless to stop the $20 million in executive bonus payments. "I think it's obscene," says Harry Methner, another Public Service stockholder. "There's no call for it. It's un-American to milk the company like this. I don't care if its Public Service or US West or Storage Tech; it's not needed for these people to draw this kind of dough."
According to Methner, most of Public Service's stock is owned by mutual funds that don't care about huge executive bonuses as long as the value of the stock is rising. As a result, he says, "there's very little you can do but grouse."
Public Service insists the payments are necessary to keep its executives from jumping ship during the merger. After the deal, while both Public Service and Southwestern will continue to operate under their current names, they'll be run by a new Denver-based parent company known as New Century Energies Inc. That means some of the current executives may see their jobs eliminated.
"We want to give some assurance to these executives that they'll be compensated if they stay," Stutz says. "You want to make sure you retain your top-level executives through a difficult time."
The $20 million compensation package for nine Public Service executives was approved by the company's board of directors. The fourteen-member board includes Public Service chairman Hock and president Brunetti. Others on the board are well-known in Denver business circles, including Tom Stephens, chairman of Manville Corporation; Barry Hirschfeld, president of A.B. Hirschfeld Press; and Will Nicholson, chairman of Rocky Mountain BankCard System Inc.
Members of the board receive $30,000 a year to attend monthly meetings; vacancies are filled through nominations by board members. Methner describes this closed system as a "CEO's union," and he and other critics complain that corporate board members often spend their time trying to feather each other's nests. "The board members are all CEOs of other companies," Methner says. "The board of directors will vote for anything. The fairness of America is suffering in the boardrooms of America's corporations." | https://www.westword.com/news/power-play-5056579?storyPage=4 | 2022/06/26 07:35:55 | mC4 |
3 | example_20294 | Ancoris | Big Data isn't just for big companies
Published in Data content on May 2018. 3 minute read
The news these days is full of big companies reaping the benefits of investments in Big Data. Like personalised music lists at Spotify, radar analytics using artificial intelligence (AI) at Airbus, and analysing 2 million retail transactions a month at The Works. But smaller companies just don't have the scale to exploit these technologies affordably, due to the expensive infrastructure and rarefied skills needed to manage and operate it. Or so you might think.
Upload your data to Google Cloud Platform and interact with it using standard SQL
The fact is, most of the processes underlying Big Data projects are fairly generic, which means that cloud providers like Google can offer them on a subscription basis to anyone (all 3 of the above examples were delivered on the Google Cloud Platform). What's more, all the complicated bits requiring specialised skills and equipment are built in, so you just need to upload your data and interact with it using standard SQL.
Now suddenly you have your very own data warehouse (aka BigQuery) capable of processing petabytes in seconds, costing $5 per terabyte and then nothing as soon as your query finishes (apart from a nominal storage charge). So your existing database could be dedicated to core operational tasks or switched off altogether.
Draw insights from your data with your own Google Search
Or perhaps you could use a graphical data wrangling tool (aka DataPrep) that uses AI to guide you to the best transformations and then deploys a Hadoop-capable pipeline at the click of a button - a bit like being able to draw insights from your data with your own Google Search.
You might even have global expansion plans for your website but only a small technical team. You will want to provide the same experience (and stock levels) to customers wherever they are in real time, but don't have the time to learn and develop a NoSQL architecture. In which case you might find a globally-distributed, strongly-consistent relational database helpful (aka Spanner) that works just like the system your team are familiar with.
The best bit is that all three of these tools are completely serverless - you just bring your data and let Google handle the procurement, maintenance and capacity planning. Here are 4 more reasons to add Google Cloud Platform to your multi-cloud strategy.

This video game offers been created by well known Manufacturers game stylish and creator Takashi Tezuka. As the video game certainly will not have the same big term worldwide recognition while Extremely Mario, is actually continue to an extremely innovative game that will have a big affect on little avid gamers in numerous different ways.
First of all it can easily do with regards to teen game enthusiasts is to release them dinosaur king gba rom game download into a within the basic concepts of on-line computer games.

In Contra, nevertheless , you are forced to handle a chance to beat the game, rather than you only making good usage of enough time you have.

0 | example_49317 | Reading, Writing, and anything but Arithmetic: Top Ten Tuesday #23
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is the top ten books you read when you need something light and fun. I cheated a little. I'm doing books and authors because there are some authors I love who have multiple books that fit in this category, and I couldn't pick just one.
Top Ten Books & Authors When You Need Something Light & Fun
Shannon Hale - I love Jane Austen, so Hale's Austenland series is the perfect amount of fluff and romance for me. The first is just a perfectly cute romance, while the second is a hilarious mystery.
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones - Jones is one of my favorite authors, but Howl is my favorite of her works. It's a cute adventure, and I love how it pokes fun at fairy-tale cliches.
The Princess Bride by William Goldman - Both the movie and the book are light and fun, but I especially love the book for all its author commentary and humorous parenthetical statements.
The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede - Wrede is another one of my favorite fantasy authors. I discovered her books in high school and re-read them all the time when I need a pick-me-up. This series is probably her best, simply because it has a no-nonsense heroine, lots of humor, and dragons!
The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill - This book makes me laugh so much. It chronicles the "true story" of the war between the pushcarts and truck drivers in NYC.
Robin McKinley - McKinley's fairytale retellings are amazing and unique. They've got magic, romance, adventure, and humor. My two favorites are Beauty (a retelling of Beauty & the Beast) and Spindle's End (a retelling of Sleeping Beauty).
Sushi For Beginners by Marian Keyes - I don't usually read chick-lit, but I love this book. And not just because my favorite character has the same crazy name as me. It's just a fun read with plenty of fluff and a brooding love interest, and bonus - it takes place in Ireland (I've always wanted to go there).
Louisa May Alcott - Alcott will always hold a very special place in my heart, because it was her books that started my love of reading. I love them because they're sweet and romantic and wholesome. The books pictured are only a few of her many books that I've read.
Rick Riordan - I don't think Riordan's written anything yet that I didn't like. His series are exciting with great characters and plenty of adventure.
Georgette Heyer - I constantly re-read Heyer's books, especially when in a slump, because they're witty and funny with amazing dialogue, dashing gentlemen, and fun adventures. I always know that I can rely on Heyer's books to make me laugh and give me the pick-me-up I need.
So what do you think? Do you agree with any of these? What are your favorite books when you need something light and fun to give you a boost? | http://thethreersalmost.blogspot.com/2013/05/top-ten-tuesday-23.html | 2018/07/20 06:59:33 | mC4 |

Introduction to Member's Machines
Here at ThinkClassic, we've taken a somewhat different approach to letting everyone show off their kit.
We decided early on that we would have a dedicated area for everyone to show off their machines, their software and their peripherals. The question was how? Traditionally, many sites would have dedicated forums for users to post new threads with each of their latest finds. It's a viable solution, after all it allows users to post their latest finds and talk about them. What more could you want?
However, collectors want to share their collections. New members want to share what they already have. If others want to find the collection of specific user, it requires some fiddling around with search settings to display all threads created by that particular user in the forums.
Member's Machines works a little differently.
Instead of creating new threads for each new find, you can create a dedicated thread for your collection. Post as much as you want in there, add photos, format it your own way. Others can comment on your machines in your thread.
Then, whenever you acquire a new machine, piece of software or peripheral, you add it on to the end of your collection thread. The community software brings your thread back to the front and center of the Member's Machines forum for everyone to see.
Not bad, right? Well it has a couple of extra advantages.
If someone wants to find and look over your collection, all they have to do is find your thread. It's all compiled and collected in the one place, so no more searching for individual threads for each individual machine.
Finally, we do allow users to have their threads linked in their signatures. The best way to do this is by using the TOPIC tag. Each thread created on ThinkClassic has a unique identifier. If you take a look in the address bar of your browser, you will see that this thread has an ID of 30. So, if you wanted to link to this thread, this is all you have to do:
[topic=30]My Great Thread[/topic]
And this is how it looks. --> My Great Thread
We think having threads for collections as opposed to individual finds will help members organise information about their collections and latest finds into a central location, and make it easier to find and link to. | http://www.thinkclassic.org/viewtopic.php?id=30 | 2020/09/25 03:03:47 | mC4 |

0 | example_29071 | A Sense of Presence - Anthony B. RobinsonAnthony B. Robinson
I've been following up on each session of our webinar on "UnApologetic" with a blog and a link to the podcast of the previous week.
Last week's session was based on Chapter 3 of Spufford's book, titled "Big Daddy," where the topic is God. Spufford continues in his venture of describing the emotional experiences that give rise to faith and find expression in Christian doctrine (an oft-maligned word which simply means "teaching").
So here's a bit from that chapter in which he seeks to convey what an experience of God's presence feels like:
"Someone, not something, is here. Though it's on a scale that defeats imagining and exists without location (or exists in all locations at once) I feel what I feel when there's someone beside me. I am being looked at. I am being known; known in some wholly accurate and complete way that is only possible when the point of view is not another local self in the world but glows in the whole medium in which I live and move. I am being seen from inside, but without any of my own illusions. I am being seen from behind, beneath, beyond . . .
"I have been shown that though I may see myself in the grim optics of sorrow and self-dislike, I am being being seen all the while, if I can bring myself to believe in it, with a generosity wider than oceans . . . This is comfort, but it is not comfortable."
"For me, it means that I'm only ever going to get to faith by some process quite separate from proof and disproof; that I'm only going to arrive at it because, in some way that is not in the power of evidence to rebut, it feels right."
In the margins of that last bit I wrote "true for me." Faith is not something proven with evidence or logic, or disproven in the same ways, for that matter. This sense of the presence of God is simultaneously, as Spufford says, "so elusive you can't put your finger on it, and yet at the same time so strongly felt, when it is felt, that it illuminates the world and reorganizes a life."
It is really and by definition true, that God and God's presence remain forever beyond our capacity to define or describe or pin down. The finite cannot describe the infinite, the creature cannot delimit the Creator. God, as Christian tradition teaches, is simultaneously as close to us as our own breath, as distant from us as the furthest star. It transcends our categories and exceeds our words, leaving us lost in praise and wonder. Such experiences began for me in childhood — which is not to say there's something super spiritual about me. There isn't. I suspect many children have such experiences.
In the webinar conversation Jason suggests that Spufford makes a believer feel "seen." I liked that and think it true, really, of the whole book. It's a graceful, intelligent, non-defensive defense of faith; in an era when both faith's loudest defenders and deriders are often neither graceful nor intelligent.
In tomorrow's episode we move to the next chapter, "Hello, Cruel World," in which Spufford takes on the problem of pain or suffering. If God is good and God is all powerful, what gives with all the suffering and pain in this world? It is a question that is, alas, always relevant, but perhaps especially vivid as we witness the resistance of ordinary Ukrainians to the highly trained combat troops of Russia. Hello cruel world, indeed. | https://www.anthonybrobinson.com/a-sense-of-presence/ | 2022/06/30 06:33:26 | mC4 |
0 | example_27052 | Georgetown volleyball snaps streak with win over UConn - The Georgetown Voice
Jessica Cusi recorded her 1000th career dig Photo by John Picker
The Georgetown volleyball team (5-12, 1-5 Big East) continued conference play with a stunning 3-1 (21-25, 25-20, 25-18, 29-27) upset against the University of Connecticut Huskies (12-6, 4-2 Big East). This win broke a nine-game losing streak for the Hoyas and gave them their first Big East win of the season.
"Tonight it felt really, really great to finally close it out and beat a really solid team," Head Coach David Heller said after the game.
The first set started with neither team able to score more than twice in a row until the Huskies broke through the back and forth with a quick 3-0 run. This gave UConn a 12-9 lead that it wouldn't relinquish for the rest of the set. The Huskies eventually won the first by a score of 25-21 with the Hoyas unable to come within two points of UConn.
Egged on by chants of "Let's Go Hoyas" by the student section crowd at McDonough, the Hoyas broke out to an early 7-3 lead in the second set, with senior libero Jessica Cusi having an ace serve in the run along with a couple of digs. However, UConn was able to battle back and retake a 9-8 lead, forcing a Hoya timeout. Freshman libero Karis Park subbed in and had two service aces as Georgetown retook a 12-9 advantage. Freshman outside hitter Giselle Williams continued the aces for the Hoyas with Georgetown clinching the second set by a final score of 25-20, evening the match at one apiece. Cusi finished the second set with six digs – eventually finishing the match with 23 digs.
"It's really a testament to the amount of hard work that this team puts in every day," Heller remarked. "They don't take a practice off, they don't take a match off, they go into it with the intention of winning and playing well."
Georgetown fell down 4-0 in the first set, prompting them to call a timeout. "We talked about controlling our side of the net," said Heller. "I think that it really was just a visual and mental reset."
Shortly after returning from the timeout, the Hoyas proceeded to rip off a 12-2 run to take a commanding 13-8 lead. Cusi and junior libero Kelly Chen sparked this run as both made key digs and had streaks of five straight serves. Another 5-1 run by the Hoyas secured them a commanding lead and ultimately gave them a 25-18 set win.
Although they had momentum on their side, Georgetown got off to another slow start in set four. Junior Peyton Wilhite began a momentum shift with a vicious spike from the right side. Georgetown was able to eventually take an 8-7 lead with a beautiful kill from middle blocker Brennan Wilhite, but UConn responded with a 5-0 run to take a 12-9 lead. Williams subbed back in and stopped the bleeding with a spike of her own. This re-energized the Hoyas as Cusi and Chen anchored the back line and led Georgetown on a comeback to knot up the back-and-forth game (the fourth set had 12 ties and five lead changes) at 24 apiece.
Things started to get tense as Georgetown sought to break its losing streak and it appeared as if the match was headed to a fifth set as UConn took a 25-24 advantage. The Hoyas would not quit and knotted it back up at 25 all. Then 26 all. Then 27 all. On a long rally between the Hoyas and Huskies, Cusi came up with yet another clutch dig, leading to a strong spike by Williams into the back left corner of the court. Down one, the Huskies needed to tie things up in order to have a chance to send the match to the fifth and final set. But with a good serve by Williams and a small rally, UConn could not keep their return in bounds, giving Georgetown a 29-27 win in the set and their first victory since Sept. 10.
"They started to have fun," Heller said of his squad. "It definitely feels like a reward for all of the hard work this team has put in."
Heller also made sure to note postgame that senior captain Cusi had recorded her 1000th career dig, a significant milestone in Cusi's career that puts her in company with only 11 other players in program history. "She's an anchor for this team in every sense of the word. We are incredibly lucky to have [Cusi] on our side of the net," Heller said. "She means the world to this program."
Cusi recorded 23 digs along the backline with Peyton Wilhite recording 15 kills (along with 17 digs) to lead the offense. Junior setter Emma Plutnicki chipped in with 43 assists, providing needed steadiness and for the offense. Williams also added 11 kills and 18 digs.
The Hoyas will return to action Friday, Oct. 15 at Xavier and will look to build on the momentum they gained vs UConn.

1 | example_94847 | mukuge: Little by Little
It all started a couple of days ago (was it last week?) Marsha went to sleep at some ungodly hour the previous night, woke up late for class, and was late for the bang-on-time tram service she was supposed to take. Consequently she took a later service and ended up stranded on the Royal Parade roundabout some half-hour after the lecture started - there was no Route 19 trams. After waiting for a good couple of minutes, she decided the sun was not going to make much of an inconvenience given that the tram shelter was made from glass anyway, and left for the main campus block on foot. Not willing to spend an extra minute under the sun, she walked down a sleepy side road, on where she saw a newly-opened restaurant encased by an old (yet renovated) garage. A new one, she thought, which I will pay a visit to if I had the time. She did pay a visit today, and went away with much more in her hands than what she could have imagined a week ago.
A lot of people know I stutter when I talk, accentuated by mumbles and worsened by a breakneck speech speed. Yeah right, tell me I'm a smooth-talking melancholic girl. When I first started working in retail, I had to be shoved onto customers before making any verbal contact with them. Today, I gave a swift look to the restaurant with dilated pupils, an obvious sign I was feeling lost... and downright scared. To cut things short, three hours later I walked away in a daze, trying to replay what had just happened before her eyes. He was with me all the time I was in there.
I am quite concerned with my summer subjects. Even though they are second-year subject and I did well in HRM's first assignment (culminating in the rare occasion of my marks being better than Dd's), it does not guarantee I will get flying colours for the final results. In less than 40 hours two assignments will be due by electronic submission, which saves travelling time but still is not an awful lot of extra time. I am in a state of mental blankness.
Saving money in a piggy bank can be quite enjoyable. I have to admit to enjoying those chink-chink noise when you pop your coins into it. Unfortunately I lost track of where today's remaining coins are, hence I banked very little. Hopefully I won't revert back to the stingy Marsha I used to be when I was little (who had a relatively sizable nest-egg in her piggy bank.) It is quite hard, especially with the greenback's weakness and Apple's latest release: iShuffle. It basically works like an MP3 player/USB pen drive, sans the display and the AAA battery. Its capacity is acceptable at a respectable 1GB (it's also released in a 512MB version.) Alright, enough promotion here.
I was overjoyed at 'getting rid' of Revenge Guy. Well, I was proven wrong - the euphoria was broken by my mobile phone, declaring a message received. Gah .\/. am I being too subtle with the selection of words and my own conduct? No! <6__-;> Stop it!!! | http://mukuge.blogspot.com/2005/02/little-by-little.html | 2018/07/23 02:19:59 | mC4 |

← Voices of Conscience: Asylum Officers Speak Out
Saying Yes to Refugees →
Posted on November 21, 2019 by Mary Turck
The Remain in Mexico policy forcing asylum seekers back to Mexico in between court hearings was bad. Deporting Honduran and Salvadoran asylum seekers to Guatemala is much worse—and the flights have begun.
"We are being asked to violate human rights," one asylum officer told Buzzfeed News. Guatemala is not safe for asylum seekers. The government and police are riddled with corruption, violence from gangs and political killings drives Guatemalans themselves from the country, and its asylum system is small and ineffective.
At the same time that U.S. asylum officers received instructions on how to send asylum seekers to Guatemala, they also received information on the country:
"The materials include information on pervasive violence against women in the country, killings of indigenous activists, prevalence of the notorious gang MS-13, and a link to a research paper that states 'a culture of violence and impunity pervades all of Guatemalan society today.' …
"'Being told to send asylum-seekers to Guatemala without even a screening on their claim while also being given research explaining, in detail, the incredible danger that exists throughout the country is extensively frustrating,' said one asylum officer who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. 'This agreement feels like a pretext to get rid of as many asylum claims as possible.'"
Asylum officers leaked training slides on the program. Among other instructions, the slides say that asylum seekers targeted for the program have no right to an attorney and no right to appeal deportation orders to an immigration judge.
To resist deportation to Guatemala, an asylum seeker must show that it is more likely than not that they will be persecuted in Guatemala on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. They must provide proof by a preponderance of the evidence.
The asylum seeker will not be told that this is what they have to show. They will have to figure it out on their own. And provide evidence, without benefit of an attorney, without time to prepare, with no way to gather or present evidence.
There is no legal basis for deporting asylum seekers to Guatemala, but that doesn't matter to the administration.
"The regulation claims that asylum seekers will only be sent back to countries where they have 'access to a full and fair procedure for determining a claim to asylum or equivalent temporary protection.' The administration has certified that Guatemala's legal framework meets that standard, the official said, but has not evaluated whether Guatemala has the capacity to accept asylum seekers based on, for example, infrastructure or personnel needs….
"'The rule flatly violates federal law and makes a mockery of our national obligation not to return asylum seekers to violence and persecution,' Richard Calderone, litigation counsel at the Tahirih Justice Center, said in a statement. 'And if fully implemented, it will effectively end asylum and related protections in the United States for everyone except unaccompanied children.'" | https://maryturckimmigration.wordpress.com/2019/11/21/shipping-asylum-seekers-to-guatemala/ | 2020/08/10 21:09:28 | mC4 |
2 | example_76286 | South-East Dorset - Wednesday 12 June 1985 - Hansard - UK Parliament
I thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the opportunity of raising a matter that is of continuing concern to and in my constituency and throughout the county of Dorset. There are four county constituencies in Dorset, and I do not think that my hon. Friends will argue too much with me if I say that overall mine is the most vulnerable to the matter that concerns me tonight — the persistent and ruthless pressure for development in south-east Dorset.
Therefore, my purpose is to ask the Minister—whom I am delighted to see in his place—a simple question. Will he convey to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment the view of the Dorset Members of Parliament—certainly the four of us who represent the county constituencies — that we look to see a reversal of the Government's policy, which at the moment appears to be one of development at all cost?
My. hon. Friend the Minister has today been much concerned with sporting matters. I shall make one sporting allusion, if I may. If he regards this Chamber as a stadium, and his right hon. Friends and himself in the Government as the players on the pitch, those of us behind him, the supporters, in many of the shire counties, are feeling restless over the erosion of the green belt and the constant pressures for development. I hope that he will see his way towards ameliorating the present policy. If he does not, I fear that some members of the supporters club may desert him or, even worse, may eventually come down on to the pitch and demand a change of policy.
The main problem is that the local authorities in my constituency—the Christchurch borough council and a portion of the Wimborne council—feel more and more that they have lost control over their environment. My hon. Friend the Member for Dorset, North (Mr. Baker), who is here tonight, had an Adjournment debate as long ago as 1 July 1981, when he raised, thoroughly and competently, the question of the erosion of the environment and, in his particular case, the gobbling up of agricultural land by development.
We believe—I have the support of my hon. Friend the Member for Dorset South (Viscount Cranborne), who regrets that he cannot be here this evening—that local planning decisions should be respected and overturned only in the most exceptional circumstances. We believe that the exploitation of the planning laws, plus the Department's policy, is rendering our structure plan absolutely meaningless.
Christchurch and Wimborne are small local authorities and are vulnerable to the constant pressure on them. As the chief executive of the Christchurch council said in a letter to me:
"Therefore, every time the local authority is called upon to make a judgment is is not free to do so in the light of just the local situation but always has to have regard to what the Department of the Environment might decide should the matter go to an appeal."
"In summary it is my opinion that the appeal situation in planning is objectionable in terms of democratic accountability and is insidious on its effect on elected Members when considering applications."
I do not wish to weary the House with endless quotations, but should like to note a few more. This afternoon, Mr. Malcolm Edwards—in addition to being chairman of the Christchurch housing committee, he is chairman of the Christchurch and East Dorset Conservative Association—said:
"We have the ridiculous situation where councils decide planning applications not on the basis of what is right or wrong, but what is likely to win on appeal. The great problem of the planning situation is that it just is not recognised that there is a level beyond which an area becomes saturated and its infrastructure cannot cope with anything more."
"What is the planning process all about if it is not to preserve the amenities of the environment?"
Recently, my hon. Friend the Member for Dorset, North and I had a meeting with members and officers of the Wimborne council. Their pleas are plaintive. They feel that they have virtually lost control of their ability to make strategic planning decisions.
The chief executive of the Wimborne district council said:
"The Authority has felt inhibited from imposing any serious policies of restraint, especially in its local plans, despite public opposition to continued growth, to a large extent because of the tone of the guidance being given by the Secretary of State in circulars, and in public speeches, with their emphasis on meeting demand for housing land, especially as Wimbourne is an area of continuing high demand. This has meant that in all the local plans it has prepared so far, the Council has deliberately proposed growth at the upper end of the range allowed under the South East Dorset Structure Plan. The Structure Plan is now being reviewed, partly because the intention steadily to reduce the rate of building and the amount of land available for development has not been achieved. However, the tone of government advice again makes it difficult to envisage this review successfully leading to the adoption of any strategy for the restraint of growth, even this should prove well justified."
The 1984–85 Dorset council monitoring report shows that more people are moving to Dorset than to any other county. The county council's reaction is "We need to review the south-east Dorset structure plan." People in my constituency do not agree. We need much stricter adherence to the present plan or the structure plan will be regarded not just as dead but as having been a cynical exercise public misrepresentation. My hon. Friend the Minister knows full well what was done to seek public opinion on these county structure plans.
Much of south-east Dorset lives under the shadow of the ambitions of Bournemouth, and Bournemouth's interests differ greatly from those of my constituents and my colleagues. If I illustrate the position in two respects, I think I shall clearly point out to my hon. Friend the Minister just how Bournemouth's insidious influence is affecting my constituency. One is at and the other is adjacent to, Hum airport. Christchurch council is the planning authority for Hum airport. Hum lies wholly within the Christchurch council area, yet the airport management committee that runs the airport is dominated by people not from Christchurch but from Bournemouth although Christchurch is represented. The airport management committee has shown an arrogant disregard for not only the Christchurch council's policies but the council's legal role as the planning authority. When the British Aerospace factory closed recently, the Christchurch council policy was simply to keep aerospace-related employment at Hum airport, on the site and in the buildings formerly occupied by British Aerospace. The site is zoned already for industrial use and it is the ideal place in which to carry out these activities.
The airport management committee, without any reference to Christchurch council as the planning authority, has leased two of the large hangers for grain storage. Warehousing means a change of use in planning terms, but no reference was made to the legal planning authority. This has had a serious effect, because companies that we are trying to attract to the buildings at Hum airport—such as Lovaux, which recently took out a lease on some space for aerospace-related purposes— find now that grain is stored there. This is a fire risk and a serious dust threat to high-technology aerospace developments. Lovaux finds this aspect extremely unattractive. It was told nothing about it at the time it signed its lease.
The planning aspect alone is serious enough, but there is a worse implication. Some Bournemouth councillors are desperately trying to aid and abet the creation of an enormous development in my constituency at Hum by the Carroll group of companies. If Christchurch is successful in attracting aerospace-related employment into Hum airport, into the buildings that already exist, that will make the Carroll proposition a great deal less attractive.
We have the serious situation, therefore, of councillors not representing Christchurch deliberately trying to thwart the wishes of the elected local authority in its effort to develop jobs and industry in the buildings that already exist.
As for the Carroll development, Mr. Gerald J. Carroll —of the Carroll Group of Companies, Carroll House, 2·6 Catherine Place, London, SW1E 6HF—is a great Dorset philanthropist. Mr. Carroll is a lover of the Dorset countryside, with a humanitarian concern for the employment prospects of my constituents. I say that slightly with tongue in cheek, to put it mildly. In total, 576 acres of my constituency have been subject to persistent and ruthless attempts by the Carroll Group of Companies to obtain planning permission to transform this area of my constituency.
Earlier this evening, I spoke to my hon. Friend the Member for New Forest (Mr. McNair-Wilson), who used to represent the area, and I have his strong support for saying that we look to the Government to do all they can to uphold the planning authority, Christchurch council, in its objections to what is proposed.
As I mentioned, Mr. Carroll is backed by certain interests in Bournemouth, and they have an incentive to ensure the failure of the present policy of Christchurch at Hum. Mr. Carroll is quoted in the Evening Echo as recently as 8 June in relation to his 576-acre scheme as saying:
"It would probably go to appeal."
He went on to say that he believed that in their efforts to assist investment and employment in the region, the Government would approve it.
Mr. Carroll wants housing and shops; the factories in his plan are just makeweight. We have plenty of empty factories in my constituency. In any event, the building of factories does not of itself create jobs. Thus, the great myth is being dangled before my constituents that somehow this development will create an enormous amount of employment. Mr. Carroll's concern for the employment situation in my constituency is purely synthetic and is a quid pro quo for permission to build shops and houses.
Christchurch is implacably opposed to it, as is the Wimborne council and the New Forest district council. It would distort the pattern of life throughout the area
I said earlier that Mr. Carroll was a lover of the Dorset countryside. I have discovered that the Dorset Naturalist Trust has been offered £10,000 to establish a nature reserve as part of Mr. Carroll's plans. If I were a nice man, I might think what a decent chap Mr. Carroll was. If I were rather suspicious, I might think that that was one way of seeing that a potential objector was bought off. The use of money to influence attitudes on controversial planning decisions is wholly unacceptable. I do not, of course, hold the Dorset Naturalist Trust in any way responsible. I cannot say the same for Mr. Carroll.
In my constituency there is a number of small communities. They are in danger of being swamped. Indeed, some already have been. There is a completely inadequate infrastructure in relation to the police, doctors and so on. The list is endless of facilities which have not been provided in a vain attempt to try to keep up with the endless demands of developers.
The vital point to make in national terms is that this is a north versus south issue. So long as the Government go on allowing, indeed encouraging, developers to develop in the prosperous parts of southern England, so long will those developers not be encouraged to turn their attention towards developments in the northern, and less prosperous, parts of the country.
The Minister should accept, therefore, that this is not just a Dorset problem. Hon. Members who represent constituencies in all parts of southern England are becoming more and more concerned over this problem. My hon. Friend the Member for Poole (Mr. Ward) will, I hope, deal with the question of oil. The Housing (Homeless Persons) Act 1977 has played absolute havoc with housing in my constituency. Again to quote Mr. Malcolm Edwards:
"We haven't got room for our own people and we are obliged to accommodate people who come from elsewhere with no previous contact with the borough."
We have road problems. A number of my constituents in Hampreston lane in Longham now face the appalling prospect of a huge road being built literally on their front doorsteps, and because it is not a trunk road they will probably be unable to claim adequate compensation.
In a speech on 14 March to the County Planning Officers Society, the Secretary of State for the Environment spoke of his presumption "in favour of development." That is uacceptable to Dorset unless — and it is a strong "unless" — the district council concerned is completely in favour of it. Once this land is built upon, the development cannot be undone. In my part of Dorset we are threatened with the policies of the Department of the Environment, the ambitions of Bournemouth and, frankly, the greed of certain big developers. I ask my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for the Environment to take note of the strength of feeling on this issue.
I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch (Mr. Adley) for the opportunity to make a brief contribution to this Adjournment debate upon the environment of south-east Dorset. Those who are familiar with the county of Dorset will be aware of what a delightful place it is. I can well understand the concern about the environment that my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch has so ably expressed on behalf of his constituents.
In the time available to me, I wish to refer briefly to the environmental aspects of oil exploration, both onshore and offshore, particularly in the area of Poole harbour. Hon. Members will be aware that it is planned to expand the production of the Wytch farm oilfield, which is in the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Dorset, South (Viscount Cranborne), from 4,000 barrels a day to 44,000 barrels a day. Dorset county council has recently granted planning approval for four exploration wells on Furzey island, which is in the middle of Poole harbour. We are pleased to know that separate approvals will be needed before production wells can be sunk in the harbour.
I pay tribute to the way in which British Petroleum has worked with the Dorset county council and all other interested parties to ensure that every precaution is taken to protect the environment. This is essential not only for the boat owners and holiday makers, whom we welcome throughout the year, but for the many fishermen who depend upon the harbour for their livelihood.
We must not, however, overlook the positive side of oil recovery: the new jobs that will be created in Poole and the surrounding areas and the new orders for local firms. Recently, we have heard that BP, having no use for the large house on Furzey island, is prepared to make it available for the use of the local community. A number of local people will investigate ways in which it can be made available for such use without cost to the local community.
Dorset county council had asked the Department of Energy to allocate the two offshore licence blocks in Poole bay to BP because it felt that it was sensible that those two blocks should be dealt with as an extension of the Wytch farm development. I am pleased to say that the Minister has agreed to the county council's request. A certain sense of relief is felt when one deals with people one knows about such matters, particularly when they have shown that they understand the local environmental problems.
The recovery of oil is in the national interest, but that does not mean that there are no legitimate local interests, too. We in Dorset are not complacent about the discovery of oil. We know that the price for the successful recovery of oil without damage to the environment is the exercise of constant vigilance. We shall certainly exercise that vigilance. We are sure that both the Government and the oil companies will similarly recognise their responsibilities.
I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch (Mr. Adley) on raising this matter, which is critical to Dorset and to the south of England. We fully recognise the need to encourage development of the economy and the creation of new jobs and to allow new small industries to tuck into villages and towns to replace the jobs that agriculture can no longer provide. There are limits to the positive efforts that can be made to encourage development in areas that are economically declining, but Ministers can do some things to assist the economically declining areas and to deal with the environmental crisis which my hon. Friend described.
First, local planning decisions, especially those limiting development, should be overturned only in the most exceptional circumstances. The overturning of such decisions creates a decline in morale among councillors and in planning departments, which leads many of them to believe that planning power has been taken out of their hands. Secondly, we should achieve a greater adherence to structure plans by keeping development within the limits laid down in those plans. The rate of growth already provided for in the south-east Dorset structure plan is far below the present rate of population and development in the area. My hon. Friend referred to the Dorset county monitoring report, which produces some frightening figures.
Thirdly, we must protect the environment. The pressures on agricultural land and its disappearance, which I described in my Adjournment debate on 1 July 1981, have become worse in the intervening years. The pressures on farmers, nature and wildlife have also increased. That does not happen without the decision of man. It is the result of planning decisions taken by Governments and local authorities.
Fourthly, a declared policy of favouring development in the north of the country—in counties which are keen to increase housing and industrial development—would have considerable appeal and would be highly relevant to the divisions in the country today. It could be an attractive policy that would help to generate jobs in areas which need them, perhaps even more than Dorset needs them.
I hope that my hon. Friend the Minister will take the matter seriously, and I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch for having raised it.
Many people will be grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch (Mr. Adley) for introducing this important debate, and to my hon. Friends the Members for Poole (Mr. Ward) and for Dorset, North (Mr. Baker). The subject is clearly of great importance to their constituents, and that is why they have expressed their views forcefully on several occasions in the House, and also to my Department. Obviously, I shall not be able to cover every subject that has been raised, but I shall ensure that my hon. Friends receive replies to the important issues that they raised, including road improvement schemes, inadequate roads and the oil and gas industry. However, I wish to deal with the broader strategy in which we are involved. The whole of south-east Dorset has considerable appeal as an area in which to live and work and to spend one's leisure. That general attraction is a reflection not only of the area's inherent qualities but of confidence in the future. My hon. Friend's anxiety — it is a concern of the Government, too—is that planning should respond to the challenges that growth poses in the most suitable way.
The local responsibility for planning lies with the county council and the district councils. Those authorities are aware of local conditions and can best take account of local opinion. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State becomes involved whenever the structure plan is altered, when appeals are made following the refusal of planning permission or the imposition of conditions, or when he decides that, in the case of any development, he rather than the local planning authority should make the decision.
My hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch mentioned the fact that local authorities are worried that their decisions are too frequently overturned on appeal. I am aware of some, but not all of the cases he has in mind. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on an appeal decision once it has been made. But if my hon. Friends would let me know of such cases that have caused concern to local authorities, I shall examine the circumstances, although I must emphasise that there can be no reappraisal of the decision. However, we should examine in detail some of the issues mentioned by my hon. Friend.
My hon. Friend also mentioned the major development that is proposed at Hum airport. I understand that an application for planning permission is with Christchurch borough council, and my hon. Friend will appreciate that I cannot comment on the case. To do so could prejudice my right hon. Friend should the matter come before him for decision. Nor can I comment on any reports of negotiations that may be taking place between the prospective developer and any interested parties.
The Government's policy on development control is simple and clear. Planning permission should be granted unless there are sound planning reasons for refusal. I urge my hon. Friend to read the full text of my right hon. Friend's speech rather than what was reported in one of the major newspapers. However, the presumption must always be to allow development to take place unless it can be shown to be harmful, not the other way round.
Development represents economic activity — as my hon. Friend the Member for Dorset, North said—jobs and social benefits such as more and better housing. No unnecessary obstacles should be placed in its way, and the social and economic consequences of a refusal of planning permission must be borne in mind by those in the local planning authority who consider and decide planning applications and plan for their areas.
This policy does not mean haphazard growth, endless urban sprawl or unnecessary losses of countryside and agricultural land. This Government are firmly committed to the policies which conserve and protect green belt land and the countryside and which ensure that the bulk of development takes place within existing settlements, particularly inner city areas and on derelict land. Our planning circulars, which planning authorities must take into account in operating the planning system, have all laid particular stress on this commitment.
In many cases a difficult balance has to be struck between the benefits of development, including to the community at large, and the need to ensure that it takes place in the right places. In some areas there must be a presumption against most development, if the planning system is to serve its prime purpose of securing efficient use of land while ensuring that development may take place. It has to reconcile competing pressures, but it must cater for economic and social progress. No one can afford to prohibit change. That is a recipe for stagnation and decline, and a negative approach will not serve anyone's interests in the long run.
For our part, we have taken concerted steps to encourage new development to look to the inner cities and to the areas of the country where the competing pressures are less, and the social need greater. The urban programme, derelict land grant and land registers, enterprise zones, the urban development corperations in Liverpool and London, and our proposals for simplified planning zones are all positive measures, helping to secure the economic resuscitation and greater prosperity of the areas in great need of new growth and development. We have increased the allocation for derelict land grant in England from £235 million in 1979–80 to £76·4 million in 1985-86, and the allocation for the urban programme increased from £93 million to just under £340 million over the same period. Of the 17 enterprise zones that we have established in England, 15 are in the north and midlands.
Does my hon. Friend accept the proposition that he would encourage development in the north by discouraging development in the south?
That requires a fairly detailed response which the constraints on time would not allow, but I am more than happy to discuss that more fully with my hon. Friend. He, like me, would support the principles of market forces and the market place, and would agree that encouragement and discouragement are essentially for the planning authorities. However, the Government must create the right conditions, and that is why we have spent a great deal of taxpayers' money to try to ensure that there is an effective balance between north and south. It takes time to put that right.
Our planning circulars on land for housing, on industrial development, and on development plans have urged authorities to ensure that sufficient land is available in the right places to enable development to take place without any unnecessary encroachment on the countryside. But the vitality of the economy, both local and national, depends on new development. We must all, therefore, ensure that planning decisions help, not hinder, growth and enable development to take place in a way that brings the best possible balance of advantage to the private and public interests at stake in each case.
. Friend has spoken about the growth of south-east Dorset, and the facts are not in dispute. Between 1971 and 1981 the usually resident population increased by 7·7 per cent., and Wimborne and Poole districts grew at a particularly fast rate. There is no evidence that this growth is slowing down; indeed it is possible that migration into south-east Dorset has increased.
This growth of population clearly creates a demand for houses, but it would not be right to assume that all of the demand stems from newcomers. There is a universal and long-established trend for new households to need separate accommodation. Although the average household size in south-east Dorset is already low, there is nevertheless a continuing demand from this source.
Housing completions in south-east Dorset have been greater than expected within the structure plan. The plan proposed that about 35,000 dwellings would be provided between 1976 and 1996, of which between 20,400 and 26,500 were to be on large sites and 10,500 were expected to be built on small sites, The latest monitoring information shows that at the end of March 1984 some 25,100 dwellings had been completed. This high number of completions has not been because of any disregard of the plan. Development of the large sites identified by the structure plan has proceeded more or less as expected
In contrast, many more houses have been built on small sites within the urban areas than the plan assumed. In principle, this kind of development is to be welcomed because it helps to reduce the loss of open countryside.
This growth reflects the needs of industry and banking and insurance services to move into the area. Bournemouth and Poole have successfully attracted new offices. Of recent moves, it is heartening to hear of the relocation to Poole of National Mutual Life of Australasia and the intention of Chase Manhattan bank to bring the major part of its headquarters to a new campus site at Bournemouth. The port of Poole has greatly increased its trade and the completion of the second roll-on/roll-off ferry terminal should be a further boost to its growth. These are encouraging developments and show that the economy of the area has vitality. They are important for job creation, which I am sure my hon. Friends will agree is necessary—
The Question having been proposed at Ten o'clock and the debate having continued for half an hour, mr. speaker adjourned the House without Ques/tion put, pursuant to the Standing Order. | https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/1985-06-12/debates/d6d9fe43-a5a1-4b63-b98d-7be97665bb6b/South-EastDorset | 2021/10/19 01:02:13 | mC4 |

HomeResourcesData Science & Business AnalyticsWhat is Data Stewardship? Its Importance, Benefits, Programs and more
By SimplilearnLast updated on Nov 30, 2021141
These days, businesses handle tons and tons of data daily. But they often struggle to utilize their data accurately, consistently, and safely to make better business decisions. This is where the need for data governance and data stewardship comes in to help businesses improve the quality of data in their repository.
While data governance concentrates on high-level policies and procedures, data stewardship manages tactical coordination and implementation. A data steward liaisons between users and IT departments to help manage organizational data.
This guide discusses what is data stewardship and why it is important while also diving into data stewardship benefits, the roles, and responsibilities of a data steward, how to become a data steward as well as the comparison of data steward vs. data analyst roles.
Data stewardship is a collection of functions that ensure all data assets of an organization are accessible, usable, safe, and trusted. It involves managing and overseeing all aspects of the data lifecycle from creation, collection, preparation, and usage to data storage and deletion. The role of data stewardship is to provide customers with high-quality data that can be easily accessed consistently.
Data stewardship follows the data governance principles of an organization to ensure data quality and consistency. It includes:
Knowing all data that the organization possesses
Ensuring data accessibility, usability, safety, and reliability
Understanding the location of data
Maintaining the transparency and accuracy of data
Implementing rules and regulations for using data
Enabling the organization to utilize business data to gain a competitive advantage
Advocating the use of reliable data
A data steward manages and coordinates every aspect that affects the quality and validity of data. This task becomes particularly important when dealing with mission-critical or sensitive customer data that needs to be protected from falling into the wrong hands. As the importance of data as an asset continues to increase exponentially, organizations are under mounting pressure to ensure data safety, security, consistency, and quality. Hence, the demand for data stewards is soaring across industries.
Inadequately maintained data can steer a company in the wrong direction, causing disastrous business results. Data stewards bring authority and accountability to the table and take ownership of organizational data. Employees cannot log in and retrieve data without permission from the data steward. Data stewardship is a position of trust wherein both technical teams and business professionals in a company must have the utmost trust in their data steward. They are the link between data professionals and the users of the data.
On the one hand, data stewards guard data against regulatory and reputational threats, and on the other hand, they are the main drivers who use data for strategic advantage. They constantly strive to educate users to make the most out of data and improve business decisions.
Employees perform better in jobs with strong data stewards around. Data stewards do all this while adhering to data governance rules and policies. They are of vital importance as they work across all levels of a company to maintain optimum efficiency and efficacy of data.
Data Stewardship Benefits: Why Businesses Need to Invest in Data Stewardship?
Data stewardship ensures enterprise users and stakeholders to leverage the best quality data. Here are some of the major benefits that drive businesses to invest in data stewardship.
Improves data quality by streamlining processes, aligning users to build trust and confidence in data
Connects users from across the organization to work together in defining data, building context around data, raising questions, and clarifying roles and data owners.
Provides efficient and effective data analytics with enhanced access and quality
Better risk-control related to legal, privacy, errors issues in data management
Allows mapping of data sources, storage locations
Facilitates data-driven decisions based upon consistent, uniform data from throughout the company
Lowers cost in other data management areas
Based on size, industry, or organization, the criticality of data needs, and the maturity of the data program, a company can have a single data steward or multiple stewards.
The process for creating a new data stewardship program or evaluating an existing one includes:
analyzing existing state and identifying gaps
creating a roadmap to develop, implement and maintain the program
monitor and maintain the data stewardship program
Data stewardship programs can include oversight and management of:
Business data efforts and operations, mainly data lifecycle management that determine and enforce how long data is retained
Data quality programs such as establishment and use of quality metrics, quality detection, correction methods
Data security, data privacy, risk management based on data governance policies, the security unit, legal department, and risk function – involving control implementation and monitoring
Business procedures and policies that enable data access, aimed at ensuring authorized users access required data at the required time and format, without compromising on data confidentiality and integrity
Data stewardship programs work in accordance with data governance policies and with the company's data owners to identify the data needed by their respective functions and understand how the function will utilize data to achieve business goals.
The data steward is the "go-to" guy for everyone working with data within the company. Typical data steward roles and responsibilities can be grouped as:
Operational Oversight – a data steward oversees the lifecycle of a data set. They are responsible for defining and implementing rules and regulations for the day-to-day operational and administrative management of data and systems.
Data Quality – data steward responsibilities include establishing data quality metrics and requirements, like setting acceptable values, ranges, and parameters for every data element.
Privacy, Security, and Risk Management – data protection is a key aspect of data steward responsibilities. A steward must establish regulations and conventions that govern data proliferation to ensure that data privacy controls are exercised in all processes.
Policies and Procedures – data stewards, also establish policies and procedures for data access, including authorization criteria based on any individual and/or the role.
Data Steward vs. Data Analyst: How the Two Roles Compare
Within an organization, data stewards work closely with data analysts and data scientists who analyze data to reveal past trends, identify current patterns, and predict future results. Although all of these positions handle data, there are remarkable differences between the job roles of data steward vs. data analyst.
Data Analysts and Data Scientists retrieve and organize data so they can analyze and manipulate it to form conclusions and insights. Based on the data retrieved, they produce reports on past and present performances of the organization, thereby helping business leaders to make data-driven decisions. They also use data to determine predictive data analytics.
The data steward largely works with existing data structures and ensures their efficient operation for users, with a limited role in forming new policies and procedures. They facilitate data analytics strategy.
The two roles are pretty close in terms of the average annual salary. According to Salary.com, data stewards and data analysts in the US can draw a pay package of around $71,580 and $78,644, respectively.
The most common skills required for the two job roles are as follows:
Data Steward: data analysis, data modeling, data management, and DBMS, Microsoft Excel, technical writing, and presentation skills
Data Analyst: machine learning, data analysis, statistical analysis, Python, R, SQL, math skills, data visualization

JohnyChevyEG says:
I need to replace the entire light assembly on the LH side. Would I still take off all the panels like you did? Is there a screw somewhere to remove it? Thanks.
Thanks for your thorough 'inside look' . . . wow, finally found out how simple this can be — much appreciated = the final tip of "prying just the corner" saved me a few steps (only removed first + side panel, then pried down corner for doing only bulb for red tail light . . . needle nose pliers were helpful for reaching in to twist open the bulb mount holder)
Ha, Toyota couldn't have made it any easier for us . . . LOL
1BilltheCat says:
Your title "Toyota Sienna BRAKE LIGHT and Reverse Light Replacement" is misleading. I just removed the back panel only to find out that the actual brake lights are on the outside corners. You should change it to "tail light"
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. You saved me a lot of headaches.
Matthew Busche says:
This gets me very close, but my sienna has an automatic lift so my left-side molding has a hole through which this motorized arm extends. It looks to me like I can't take off the trim unless I first disconnect the arm from the connecting hinge that sticks out through the trim. But it is NOT so obvious how to do that!
Aslam Ramzanali says:
Thanks , very helpful indeed!
Brit Andersen says:
Do you have a video that shows how to replace the lens cover for the brake and reverse lights?
B Yamamoto says:
Really helpful video, had no idea how to proceed until I watched it, changed my bulbs today, couple of things came up, would suggest changing the bulbs on a hot day, plastic components are more forgiving when warm ie don't break as easily, also for the main panel start at the window and gently work towards the latch end that way you avoid breaking off the two tabs at the bottom of the panel, when all of the clips have been freed up gently pull the panel forward and the tabs will drop out of their holes. Install in the reverse. Also be prepared for some of the clips to slip out of their holders on the panels and fall to the ground
Marty Olson says:
Thanks very much. Great video!
JOSEPH LAUDI says:
GREAT VIDEO. HELPED ME REPLACE THE BULB. I COULD ACTUALLY REACH THE BULB BY ONLY REMOVING ONE SIDE OF THE PANEL.
Tony Triet Le says:
Thanks very much. Very helpful and great video!
Just the video I needed, thank you for explaining and showing how easy it is and what to watch out for. Great job on the video.
thank you you saved me money:)
Rolour Garcia says:
Thanks for this video. Changed brake and tail lights without breaking anything.
Great video. My repair book does not cover back up light replacement. Good to know that you have to get at it from the inside not force off the outer housing.
Note that removal of the strap cover is incorrect in this video, I broke the clip off by following the instructions on this video. Instead of prying it of with screwdriver from the window side, you should try to slide it toward the window (like it shows in the manual).
Bob Brin says:
Nice work! Your point later in the video is important to note. I was able to replace both the reverse and tail light bulbs without fully removing the large lower panel. Just loosened it at the end and removed the two side window trim pieces. It's a little tight to get your hands in there, but saves removing the strap.
ITS EASY BEFORE PUT THE PANEL BACK MAKE A HOLE FOR EASY ACCESS NEXT TIME I DO THAT ON MY CAR…
Great video! Ridiculous design by Toyota in my opinion. I broke one of the clips too!
Oscar Bonilla says:
Muy buen video. Yo hallaba que hacer tenia una tare ligth y este video me sirbio
great video thx…Toyota should of make 2 acess covers/caps kinda like those rear strut/shocks covers in the trunk of a seden or a hartchback just pop them out ,change the lights,put covers back on…much easier..guess thay just want u to bring ur car to them so they can get u on labors lol
what about the side light tho
el camarografo de mv says:
great video thanks also I want to replaist a broken handle from rigth slice side door Vann you up load a video for that please tanks
Jeff Nygren says:
Thank You!! You just saved me an hour or two of work and worry.
Snowspring9 says:
Thanks, Tomahawk. Your video actually gives to whole detail on the replacement. I had been loathing this repair for literally years until a cop pulled me over for it. It's good to have her fully functional again 🙂
Thanks for the video. Saw that I had the exact light out earlier today and told my wife that I'd try to find a DIY video to fix it up. Again, thanks for the great, detailed video.
Del Fam says:
The reason you broke that tab off is because you are supposed to start popping that main panel off from the window side first, not the bottom of the door.
Enayetur Raheem says:
Do you have a video on how to replace the entire reverse light assembly? I see that you have a video on replacing the tail light (that is on the side body of the van). But do you have any video how to replace the assembly on the back lift door? Thanks a lot.
Excellent video. Helped me avoid a trip to the shop. CORRECT: slide the strap cover toward the window and it will pop off. CORRECT: remove the main panel off from the window side first to avoid breaking off tabs. ADDITIONAL TIPS: (1) you can use a Phillips screwdriver instead of a socket drive to remove the strap. (2) I used masking tape to mark where the plastic rivets were to know where to press down. Took a few more minutes but the panels went back in nice and easy.
So much work just to replace a tail light.
To remove the top panel you slide it sideways on my Sienna. You probably should hear little to no popping from the panels if removed correctly.
The popping comes from from the plastic fasteners being pulled out of the door which doesn't need to happen. Slide the top piece to the side and the side pieces outwards away from window.
TheLORDsArmy1 says:
How stupid is this design, just to change a light bulb, you have to disassemble the whole gate panels and trims.
kylenparis says:
When reattaching the pull handle, be sure not to over-tighten. The screw is cheap and WILL break! Go ahead. Ask me how I know this…
Anyway, if you happen to be unlucky enough, and it happens to break, know now that it will be a pain in the @$$ getting it back out. And you will need the patience of a fleet of saints, and very, very tiny hands.
Earl Copple says:
Thank you very much! I was looking at this assembly and couldn't make any sense of it until I came back in the house and watched your highly informative video. Well done!
Gary Deen says:
I would doubt there is enough heat at 21 watts to cause the glass to warp on the bulb. I believe oils are only a problem with high intensity bulbs. For instance a front light bulb.
The 7443 bulb (on tail/reverse for too sienna 2008) can go in two ways. The bulb is listed as 21W/5W. This means one takes more energy. Do they both produce the same brightness? If so, then care should be taken to get the brake light wire with the 5W bulb not the 21W. This would save energy while driving with lights on???
I'm really scared of breaking the clips what's the best wayto do this? if it involves a tool what is it?
Jed W says:
Thanks for the video. you first remove the top and side panels, but then when removing the lower the top and side appear to be on again. do you have to remove them?
opent view says:
where can you buy the clips in case if it gets break?

Lazar Gill says:
Thanks very Helpful video, just if you could have mention the type of the bulb, so one can handy before doing all this…

Jerry Frenzel says:
His instructions were very helpful for my 2011 Sienna. Thanks
Looks like Philips or Wagner 7443 is the replacement bulb number. I have a 2008 Sienna and the OE owners manual does not list the bulb number in the manual. It only lists it as a 21/5W and Type D (Wedge base bulbs (clear)). Also Sylvania 194. Hope that helps.

Josh Sizemore says:
1:45 am I seeing things/ He started out by taking off the upper top and side trim pieces. The here we see them back on? The at 2:35 they are off again wtf.
H Alganis says:
The mistake happened in the time 2:00 . He broke the panel hook. He was supposed to start removing the panel from the glass side.
Thanks hope this works on a 2011 le … it's the same proceedure almost according to Autozone
Thanks sooo much ! This even worked on my Toyota Sienna 2011 .. start at the top middle section at top of lift gate window … dude put this works on the new model Sienna 2011-current..thanks what a stupid design I got the same issue with my 2015 impala … most Hondas have small cut out access doors to get to function lights … thanks brother

kain5821 says:
Much appreciate the video and tips mentioned here. I breezed through it without a glitch within 45 minutes including wiping down the panels at the end. The only minor gotcha was masking tape didn't work for me as I used Armor All for spring cleaning. I used chalk instead. Perfect click every time brought smile to my face. Reiterate the points: (1) work from the window glass side outward to remove panels; (2) strap cover can be easily slide out towards the window; (3) use 10mm socket as Philip screwdriver didn't work for me; (4) remember to pull the pins that don't come out with the panels; (5) use chalk to mark the pin positions for perfect click in – if it doesn't click, check your work; (6) while you are at it, maybe as well replace bulbs on both sides. Happy DIY.
I really want to thank you for the video and everyone who made comments. Changing these took less than 20 minutes and I am not someone who is mechanically inclined. This was a perfect demo! Awesome work!
lbcsv says:
Thanks for this video. I didn't know I'd have to disassemble my tailgate in order to change a lightbulb.
Jorge Arratia says:
Detalle a detalle muy buen video !! Tome su like buen samaritano xD
A couple mistakes. 1. Don't pry the handle cover—IT SLIDES TOWARD THE FRONT. 2. Removing the rear panel—-ALWAYS start at the top (glass side). This will keep you from breaking the heavy tabs on the bottom. You pop the top "Christmas Tree clips" off at the top and then the panel will pop the bottom ones off (and allow you to angle out) the back panel easily.
This is fully explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtRspPCH1ps
Thanks for making this video. Based on the number of panels coming off and the reasonable chance some tabs might be broken during removal, would probably be a good idea just to replace all four rear bulbs while inside. Thanks again.
* Work from the window glass side outward to remove panels
* Remove pins from tailgate that don't come out with panels and re-attach to panels before reinstalling
* Use chalk to mark pin locations on outside of panels
* When installing panels make sure all pins snap into place
1- Start by removing the top panel (5 clips)
2- Remove the two side panels (3 clips each)
3- Bottom Panel (14 Clips):
a. Remove strap cover by sliding towards the window
b. Remove strap bolt (10mm socket)
c. Remove the rectangular access door near strap
d. CAUTION: THE BOTTOM OF THIS PANEL HAS TWO LARGE BRACKETS THAT ARE EASILY BROKEN. Begin removing panel from window side first then move to sides and finally the bottom.
4- Lights are now accessible. Rotate 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pull to remove
5- Insert replacement bulbs (wear gloves to avoid contaminating bulbs)
(Remember to check that bulbs work before replacing panels)
6- Reverse panel assembly (bottom, sides then top) inserting and snapping panels FROM outside towards glass.
7- Replace rectangular access door.
8- Reinstall strap and cover.
David Belitz says:
Are all the tail light bulbs size 9443?
pqr2726 says:
I'm a bit of an old newbie and skipped past the 10mm socket part. 30 minutes later (10 minutes up and back from the hardware store)….I got it. Good video!
Angela Touchton says:
Can anyone give me the bolt size for the liftgate pull handle (the strap)?
Joe Ottman says:
Susan Oh says:
Awesome. Thank you so much. I managed to change the tail light on my Sienna today thanks to your video. I didn't take the whole back panel off, but by taking the top and side panels like you showed on the video, then, just by prying off one side of the back panel, I got to the light I needed to change. Your video really helped. By the way, knowing that the socket size I needed was a 10mm one was helpful, too. Good job on the video, really clear instructions.
John & Karen R says:
Why not take the upper end of the panel down first, so as not to brake the clips at the bottom end? Good video though!
sharez williams says:
Hi can you tell me the name of that light that is at the top of the very back?
That first pull on the plastic takes some faith. Thanks. Great video
Thank so much for making this video. This made it easy for me to change my running light quickly and correctly. Keep up the great videos.
You have gotta be kidding me….. you have to pull apart the entire back door to change a bulb??? Only Toyota could be this ridiculous.
Steve Townsley says:
How is it that at 2:00 the first three panels that he took off around the window are there again?
Tomeace Lane Tomeace's Little Monkeys says:
William Hazel says:
Thank you so much for the tutorial – all those plastic pins!! Knowing approximately where they were helped tremendously. I did try your advice about not needing to remove the full panel to just get to the rear light – and that worked out fine. And it saved a lot of grief not having to pull off the entire panel.
starsunderer says:
Why isn't there an access panel for the lights? WTF Toyota ? God forbid if manufactures use any sort of visible screws to have access to stuff like they used to do.
DaSoggyWaffle says:
Dam, just to replace a dam tail light requires an engineer. Quiet a work bro. My God!
swistedfilms says:
Thank you for showing us how to do this! I think I'll just replace all the lights at the same time when I do it! I hope I can replace the license plate lights while I'm in there; they're burned out too. | https://penguindeskjob.com/toyota-sienna-tail-light-and-reverse-light-replacement-2004-current/ | 2020/06/04 01:55:24 | mC4 |

Wyo loves delegation, hates CongressBy KYLE ROERINK

Star-Tribune staff writer(12) Comments
Wyoming voters seldom blame their lawmakers for the problems in Washington, said James King, head of the political science department at the University of Wyoming.Only 10 percent of Americans approve of Congress, according to a recent Gallop Poll. But the nation's disdain for lawmakers doesn't follow them back home, King said."For a long time we've known that people love their members of Congress but hate their Congress as a whole," he said. "It's not a new trend. Polling data going back to the 1960s proves it."So even though the issues change, the sentiments of constituents do not.In the past seven months, the nation has dealt with the so-called fiscal cliff, sequestration and the debt ceiling. Congress' lack of punctuality on dealing with some of the nation's most pressing issues creates a perception among people that the system is broken, King said.The contempt for Congress might be high, King said, but re-election rates are 90 percent.Instead of running on platforms that cater to constituents' needs, many members of Congress who go back home to campaign say they are fighting to fix what's wrong in Washington even though they've been in office at least one term, King said.Members of the current Wyoming congressional delegation are no strangers to reflecting their constituents' concerns in nation's capital. All three have been re-elected two times.Sen. Mike Enzi won his third term in the Senate with more than 76 percent of the vote in 2008. Sen. John Barrasso won with 90 percent of the vote, and Rep. Cynthia Lummis won with more than 68 percent of the vote in 2012.Once people cast a ballot, they're comfortable with their own decisions, said Robin Van Ausdall, director of the Wyoming Democratic Party."People think, 'It couldn't be my fault,'" she said.Even though constituents may support their members of Congress, there's been an erosion in people's overall faith in government, she said."A lot of money has been spent on the narrative that government doesn't work," she said.The problem with Congress is that the average American doesn't have a say in the political system, Van Ausdall said. Regardless of party affiliation, campaign finance has the biggest influence on Congress, she said."Congress is doing an excellent job of representing people who pay for their campaigns," she said.The national mood in Congress is not representative of the Wyoming delegation, said Bill Novotny, a Wyoming GOP Central Committee member."We have three members who aren't in it for personal gain," he said. "They come home every weekend and hear about the issues."Wyomingites know their congressmen and congresswomen and share their values, King said."In the case of Representative Lummis, there are 434 others we didn't vote for in the House," he said. "We're comfortable with the ones who share our values but we disagree with many of the others."Members of the nation's two largest political parties differ on which chamber of Congress is doing a better job. Republicans in Wyoming often take aim at the Democrat-controlled Senate.There's an inability by the majority of lawmakers in the Senate to pass legislation that will benefit the public, said Tammy Hooper, chairwoman of the Wyoming GOP.Hooper thinks differently about the Republican-controlled House."I think the House is serving people," she said.

Everyone should read Charlie Reese, Orlando Sentinel, last column. ( I would encourage the CST to reprint this column) It speaks to this very situation. If we don't like whats going on in Washington we have the ability to change it. We just have to vote them out. None of them will take responsibility for anything that is going on. They just blame others. There are only 545 Representatives and Senators and they pass the laws, and the budgets. No one else. So if you want change elect someone else and quit listening to them blame everyone except themsellves. Reply

Kyle, figure it out ... this is the divided states of americaA new America that this "scandal-plagued President" brought in with his new ways of lop-sided governing. We're only seeing the leading edge of the end of a "great nation" that once stood. I personally find every Congressional and Senate (from states surrounding Wyoming) an offense, unless they see things Enzi's, Barrassos' and Lummis's way? Therefore, the once - kumbaya moments that 2009 to 2011 forced on this nation that broke this nation is over. The wake up call and the realization that socialism really doesn't work in a "free-spirited America" to prosper is now a reality. Government must serve the people, not special interests and self-serving government, as had been the case. The wake up call is real and prevalent today, just as many Wyomingites would never support another politician without that leader from elsewhere supporting this state's leaders. Its probably the walk up call the "slacker-media" needs from its fantasy honey moon of its first black-skinned President. You see, prejudice is not as prevalent as the media portrays the American public to have. But, policies that force-feed unwanted laws that recreates a prejudice (towards Americans by government) where most Americans feel abandoned as in Obamacare and excessive spending. Americans show contempt outside of their "home-state leaders". Reply

Basic sleepover room
The room was fine, clean but basic. The toilet in my room was a bit claustrophobic, with barely an inch to the wall and the shower.There wasn't really any wifi to speak of in the rooms, so I wouldn't really recommend foe business - I wasn't able to work as planned in the evening.Eating places nearby were a little sparse, and there isn't an option to have an evening meal at the hotel.

Good clean accommodation, but details should have stated that 'free' breakfast was continental. Only 2 bath towels in room (no hand towels) and nowhere to hang them in bathroom. 'Complimentary toiletries' only consisted of solitary dispenser in shower, nothing by handbasin. Everything was acceptable, but overall it promised more than it delivered.

By Marilyn Anderson ZUMBROTA Shooting of the independent film His Neighbor Phil is scheduled to wrap up Thursday, April 17. This concludes nearly three weeks of long, intense days involving 25 professional and local actors, 40 musicians, dozens of cast extras, 10 crew members, and countless volunteers (indi-viduals, groups, and businesses) working together on the project. The film crew and actors arrived in late March. The movie is about a woman, Mary, played by Stephanie Zimbalist, with earlyonset Alzheimers disease who mistakes her husband (played by Daniel Roebuck) for the neighbor, Phil (played by local actor Bob Bird of Mazeppa). Other professional actors who have come to Zumbrota to be a part of the movie are Rachel Storey (credits include 2010 version of The Crazies), Ellen Dolan (As the World Turns), and Sally Kellerman (Oscar-nominated for MASH). All but Zimbalist have worked on other My Town Picture productions with writer, director, and producer Scott Thompson.
project that sound engineer Brian Banse has worked on with Thompson. Of the several crew members who have been together for many of the projects, he said, We work well together. The actors even comment on that. After the first week of filming, Banse acknowledged that the weather had been a challenge. He said, I think we are caught up now. The weather threw us off. One early outdoor scene had been shot without snow, which meant that a yard across the street had to be shoveled clear and a car moved into place to block other snow from view. Banse said the people of Zumbrota have been wonderful. He has been staying at the Barteau House, where Kim and Scott Jensen have volunteered their home to crew members. Banse said, I keep telling Danny (Roebuck) how great the crew has it.
As a lead character and co-producer, Roebuck has been on the Zumbrota sets since the first day of shooting, March 30. Zim-balists scenes began shooting April 5. During her career, Zimbalist has played a wide range of characters including Laura Holt in televisions Remington Steele and Christa McAuliffe in the stage production of Defying Gravity. When asked how she had come to play the role of Mary in a small town like Zumbrota, Zimbalist replied she was interested in whatever good role comes along. Im here largely because of Danny [Roebuck]...he had received the great script and sent it on to me. Though always on the go with many projects, Zimbalist wanted to do honor to this role and to the caregivers. But one of the challenges of the role, she said, is that for every person the disease is different. With a day off and a week remaining of filming, Roebuck shared another of his passions with the community: collecting horror movie memorabilia. Two documentaries that he has recently produced, written, and directed Monstermaniacs and Cave Girl, a Second Journey Back in Time were presented on April 10 at the State Theatre. With many of the professional and local cast, crew, and volunteers present, Roebuck took the opportunity to express appreciation for the communitys support of the project. For several local actors, the movie is their first acting experience. At audition time, Bob Bird arrived to sign up to help out behind the scenes, not for a role. But when he ended up on the list to audition instead, he was told to try out and he landed the role of the namesake of the film, Phil. Bird said, Its been an incredible, good experience all the way around. The people are unbelievably knowledgeable. Ive learned so much. I will see movies in a totally different way after this. Unlike Bird, Tricia Stiller of Zumbrota intentionally signed up to audition. She explained, Why not? It is not likely another movie will be made in Zumbrota in my lifetime. Stiller said she participated in almost everything else in high school except plays and thinks it was her use of the word dichotomy during the improvisational portion of the tryout that landed her the role of Wendy, a historical writer, for a scene filmed at Zumbrotas History Center.
When discussion of a movie being made in Zumbrota initially began, Thompson explained how the concept of My Town Pictures, partnering with the local community, resulted in dimishing production costs substantially compared to Hollywood productions. That effort has been realized with the number of volunteers involved, especially during recent weeks. Pam Potter Langley, Ronda Anderson-Sand, and Angie Gustafson were local organizers for the project from the onset in September 2013. Since then, additional committees have been added and many more volunteers have come forward. With the filming nearly half completed Anderson-Sand and Potter Langley took a few minutes April 7 to reflect on the process thus far. Potter Langley didnt realize how big of a role they would play in producing the movie. She said, There are so many layers of it. I just thought they would come in and go. But it has been a great opportunity. Anderson-Sand said learning the process has been a gift. She noted how both women are the oldest daughters in their families and like structure and organization. This has been a lesson in flexibility and trust for us, she said. Sitting in the Sand dining room with filming taking place in and outside the house that day, the women pointed out the attention to detail they have witnessed, such as removing or rearranging pictures (removing the glass from pictures) and shooting outdoor scenes from an open window. Due to sensitivity of sound equipment, traffic or neighborhood noise is sometimes a problem resulting in scenes being restarted.
Actress Stephanie Zimbalist, left, takes a break from her leading role as Mary in His Neighbor Phil. She arrived for lunch at the United Church of Christ on Saturday, April 5 and quizzed members of Girl Scout Troop 25240 with the question, What is hummus made from? Behind the serving window are, from left to right, Alyson Dillon, Maren Nietz, Alexis Knott, Ava Knott, and Emma Buck. Co-leader Allison Knott is behind the girls. The girls learned from Zimbalist that chickpeas (also know as garbanzo beans) are the primary ingredient.
it is so important, with the disproportional number of women impacted with the disease. And its also important for the care-givers. One group that served a noon meal was Girl Scout Troop 25240. They served a variety of food, made by them and their families. Approximately 25 cast and crew members were served Saturday, April 5. Co-leaders of the junior troop, Allison Knott and Sarah Nelson, explained that it was part of the Junior Troops Take Action Project. After the girls brainstormed ideas of sustainable, community projects, they met with Anderson-Sand at the State Theatre. In addition to serving and cleaning up after the meal, the girls will do landscaping by the theatre, help with a brochure on the history of the theatre, and possibly help start up a lending library. Kevin and Jennifer Kish were among those hosting crew members at their homes. Jennifer said that since their house is a swinging door anyway, they signed up as housing volunteers. They have hosted two crew members the director of lighting and director of photography for the duration of the production. Jennifer said,
They make themselves part of the group. But we hardly see them as they often work late. A member of the Zumbrota Area Arts Council Board, Jennifer sees the movie as another plus for the town. It keeps us moving forward in the right direction. Though she didnt audition for a part, she may volunteer as an extra for a scene. Several other volunteers have served as drivers, taking actors to and from the airport and to where they are staying.
With one week of filming remaining, Thompson said the project in Zumbrota thus far has met his expectations: Generosity is in great supply here. The vol-unteers have been great in helping keep the costs of production down. It is hard work for the local actors and musicians. They work as hard as or harder than the professionals, and dont get paid even though they commit to long periods of time. Thompson explained that people dont realize it is not possible to make a movie in Hollywood for less than $500,000 due to SAC actors and union crews. The stars coming here are getting paid far less than if they were in Holly-
Sound engineer Brian Banse talks with local actress Tricia Stiller prior to shooting a scene at the History Center in Zumbrota on April 2.
After filming is completed on the April 17, Thompson will do the initial editing for content. Director of photography Jacob Moyer of Des Moines will do the next
editing, which will include trimming. Roebuck, as co-pro-ducer, will also review and edit. The project is expected to be completed in the fall. Following completion, a sneak preview will be held in Zumbrota at the State Theatre.
Throughout much of the project, the crew has been visible in various locations of Zumbrota as they moved and set up equipment lighting, cameras, props, or assisting with wardrobe and makeup. Much of the filming has taken place along or near Main Street. His Neighbor Phil is the fifth
As part of the partnership, meals, housing, and drivers have been provided by the volunteers in the community. Working initially from forms completed by people interested in helping with the movie, the number of volunteers expanded from there. Jessica Hoeper and Tricia Stiller focused their efforts on pulling together meals for the cast and crew. Angie Gustafson organized the housing. Throughout filming, various volunteers provided noon and evening meals each day, served at the First Congregational United Church of Christ basement. Stiller said when she initially signed up to help with food five months ago, she didnt really know what it meant A pan of bars? But she has found the effort rewarding. We started with a few contacts and kept on asking. Some offered for a couple meals and we had the first week filled up, she said. She noted that area businesses have been very generous and everyone has been extremely flexible. Depending on the schedule, the number of people at a meal might be just the crew (ten to twelve), or as many as 25 with the cast. Even more if there are musicians. The storyline of the movie is relevant to Stiller. She said, I think
The Kenyon-Wanamingo High School music department recently returned from a five-day performance tour in Colorado, March 25-30. Stops on the tour included: Garden of the Gods, Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Pikes Peak, Cave of the Winds, the Olympic Training Facility, and the US Air Force Academy. The highlight of the trip was the Cog Rail journey to the summit of Pikes Peak. The scenic railway ascent took about an hour to reach the elevation of 14,110 feet. The vista was a 250-mile radius and included views of four states. They enjoyed milder weather while in Colorado, but at the summit, the air temperature was six degrees. During the first full day in Colorado Springs, they had the opportunity to perform at Garden of the Gods. Garden of the Gods is a national natural landmark characterized by its impressive rock formations and plant and animal life. The outdoor performance venue was one of the most spectacular sites they have ever performed in: an amphitheater situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains. The music repertoire was selected based on the theme of Through the Storm: Music of Hope, Healing and Recovery. Not only did they perform for visitors at the park, but also via skype to the KW Elementary School students. Enroute home, music students stopped at Iowa State University for clinics with two ISU music faculty. Band students worked with Dr. Erik Richards, a professor of bands. Chorale members participated in a clinic with Dr. Jim Rodde, chair of choral activities. This was a great way for students to prepare for their final spring concert, which is coming up on May 6. Throughout the trip, there were many many positive comments made about the Kenyon-Wanamingo students. From the students polite and respectful demeanor, to their well-disciplined, courteous and friendly behavior, they were recognized over and over for these admirable traits. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for these students as well as their chaperones (Stephanie Schumach-er, Claire Larson, Jan Strand and Scott Soden). The Kenyon Wanamingo High School Music Department looks forward to sharing their music on May 6 at 7 p.m. in the KWHS auditorium.
PINE ISLAND Pine Island School District residents can obtain absentee ballots for the May 13 bond referendum at the district office. Residents who will not be able to vote on election day can go to the district office and cast their ballots now. An absentee ballot application must be filled out and approved first, and then district staff can provide the ballot that can also be filled out at the same time. If residents are not currently registered voters, they will need to also register at that time. An ID showing the persons current address in the district must be provided in order to register. Anyone who is not able to go to the school can visit the districts website (www.pineisland.k12.mn. us) where there is detailed information on how to obtain and complete absentee ballots. An absentee ballot application can be printed and filled out, and mailed, e-mailed or faxed to the school. If residents do not have web access, they can call the district office and have the application sent to them. Voter registration information will also be sent if needed. When the application is received by the district office, a ballot will be sent along with instructions and a postage-paid envelope in which to return it. Mailed ballots must be received in the district office by 3 p.m. on May 13 in order to be counted. When an absentee ballot is mailed to the district instead of filled out at the district office, it must be witnessed by a registered Minn-esota voter, a notary with a stamp, or an official who can administer oaths. When voters are not able to be physically present, the process to obtain the application and ballot does take some time. Plan well in advance so your ballot can be received in time to be counted. The district office will also be open from noon - 4 p.m. on Friday, April 18 for residents to obtain absentee ballots. Contact information for the district is: phone (507-356-4849); fax (507-356-8827); e-mail ( [email protected]); address (223 1st Ave. SE, Pine Island, MN 55963).

By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Pine Haven Care Center held its annual Volunteer Banquet on Wednesday, April 9. This years theme was Volunteers Are Americas Pride. The meal included barbecued ribs, Chicken Kiev, side dishes, and cherry, apple, and blueberry pie. Entertainment on the piano and hammer dulcimer was provided by Lori Ronchak. Pine Haven welcomes and encourages area youth to volunteer, especially during the summer months when more outdoor activities are planned. There are many areas in which volunteers can make a difference in the lives of the residents. Volunteers serve in many different ways and areas within the care center, from the board and auxiliary, to musical entertainment, chaperoning out-ings, playing games such as Wii and Bingo, and visiting with residents. Some volunteers also mend clothes, do manicures, read stories, assist with mealtime, decorate the facility, bake for fundraisers, and help with Sunday coffee. Volunteer Coordinator Char Tewalt said, We are lucky to reside in such a great community who has many wonderful volunteers, some volunteering in more than one organization. The residents love seeing their familiar faces. They are the heart that fulfills our logo! She added that volun-teering can be a very rewarding experience and it only takes a little of your time to make a big difference in someone elses life.
By Audra DePestel PINE ISLAND Seven Pine Island students participated in this years Maud Hart Lovelace book award voting for the State of Minnesota. Students in grades 3-8 are invited to take part in the voting. Division 1 (grades 3-5) and Division 2 (grades 6-8) each has twelve nominated books, with three titles that cross over onto both lists. Once a student has read three of the titles, they are eligible to vote for their favorite to win the Maud Hart Lovelace award. For Division 1, Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea and Quarterback Season by Fred Bowen tied as the Pine Island students favorite. For Division 2, the winner was Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. Their votes will be submitted to the Minnesota Youth Reading Award Committee to be counted along with other students from across Minnesota. The statewide winner will be announced on Maud Hart Lovelaces birthday, April 25.
Zumbrota-Mazeppa (ZM) schools. ZM recently made a change to provide ALP services through the Goodhue County Education District. Pine Island is a member of the Zumbro Education District (ZED). This changed the financial feasibility of summer school in Pine Island. He said he has been in contact with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). He had no prior notice from the MDE that the ALP would be shut down and is completing an application for an ALP in the district. He is hopeful the process will be completed to hold summer school credit recovery courses that are funded by the state. It would be more costly to transport students to ZED in Byron. He said there are at least 20 students (most in ninth and tenth grade) who would attend summer school for a four-day week for five weeks in June and July to replace failing grades. Summer school would fall into the 20142015 budget year. In the past when a summer program could not be offered, tracking revealed that the graduation rate lowered among this group of students.

These questions with answers are shared on the school website. Berg-Beniak updated the board about the land purchase agreement with Tower Investments, LLC., which is contingent on voters passing the referendum to build a new school. The agreement is being changed to allow the district 24 months to build on the site. She said the document should be ready for the board to approve on Monday, April 21. This year curriculum resources will be purchased in mathematics and art. Curriculum for physical education, health, and science are being reviewed to plan for purchases in 2014-15. Reading and world language are next in the curriculum review cycle. Policies for curriculum development and instructional goals were approved. The board is reviewing the school district accountability policy. The school board accepted the resignation of sixth grade teacher Geoffrey Wagner.
PINE ISLAND Aaron Adams was awarded the Eagle Scout rank on August 18, 2013. The Eagle Court of Honor was held at the Pine Island United Methodist Church. The opening flag ceremony was carried out by Senior Patrol Leader Isaac Beach. The Masters of Ceremony were personally select-ed by Adams. Joey Kempf, an Eagle Scout from Troop 78 in Mazeppa, and Corbin Renkin, an Eagle Scout from Troop 59 in Zumbrota, were chosen for the leadership and friendship they showed to him. Adams did most of his Boy Scout activities with Zumbrotas Troop 59 and only recently became a member of Pine Islands Troop 69. He said he felt that these two friends helped make scouting enjoyable, served as outstanding role models, told him he, too, could be an Eagle Scout and essentially kept him going in scouting. They both carried out the position of Masters of Cere-mony with the respect and honor warranted for this great achieve-ment. Assistant Scoutmaster Chris Dietz explained that throughout history, the eagle has been used as a symbol of victory, strength, good over evil, royalty and valor. The tradition continues in scouting, as the eagle represents the triumph and success of the Boy Scout and is a symbol of his leadership skills. Scoutmaster Peter Sanders assisted Eagle Scouts Kempf and Renkin with the presentation of the Eagle Badge. Aarons parents, Patrick and Sara Adams, joined him at the center stage. Sara pinned the badge over her sons heart, and Patrick Adams presented his son with an Eagle Scout certificate. In recognition of his parents involvement, Aaron placed a ribbon with a miniature Eagle pin
PINE ISLAND Six Appeal Vocal Band, an all-male, a cappella group from Minneapolis will be performing a free public concert Monday, April 21, at the Pine Island School auditorium (maroon gym) beginning at 7 p.m. During the day, Six Appeal will also be presenting a concert for middle and high school students, and they will be working with the high school choir and eighth/ninth grade choir in separate choral workshops. These events are being presented by Pine Area People for the Arts (PAPA) and the Van Horn Public Library. The free public concert is presented with funds from the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment, Minnesota Library Legacy and SELCO. The In-school assembly and choir workshops are sponsored by PAPA and Pine Island AAA (Academic Arts and Athletics) Foundation. Six Appeal Vocal Band is one of the busiest touring a cappella ensembles in the country. From coast to coast, the group has become known for their vivid musical style, unmatched energy and playful charm. Their far-reaching reper-toire spans a multitude of decades and genres, including pop, coun-try, classic rock, jazz, R&B, and much more. If you can imagine it, they sing it. Their appeal to all walks of life enables Six Appeal to perform anywhere from college campuses to state fairs, corporate functions, community festivals, theaters, K-12 classrooms, and has even brought them into the national spotlight, singing for the 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl broadcast live on ESPN. Six Appeal began as a collegiate hobby in 2006 at Concordia College in Moorhead. Performing around campus was a great way to relax from classes and create a new sound on campus. As the group evolved into a professional ensemble in 2010, Six Appeal began to introduce new members, transforming their sound and focus into the current dynamic sextet. Six Appeal members are Andrew Berkowitz, Michael Brookens, Nathan Hickey, Reuben Hushagen, Trey Jones and Jordan Roll.
Pine Island Boy Scout Aaron Adams was recognized as an Eagle Scout at the Court of Honor in September 2013.

Viewer Mail: Murray Dry, Specter and the Future of the Party System
It's viewer mail time. As most of you know, ever since this blog went on the air in the late 1950's I've periodically taken the opportunity to catch up with your comments and questions, which are often more illuminating than the blogs to which they refer. Let me begin by noting my colleague Murray Dry's mild objection to my criticism of New York Time's reporter Jeff Zeleny's question at Obama's last press conference. In case you missed it, Zeleny asked Obama, "During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office, enchanted you the most about serving this in office, humbled you the most and troubled you the most?" Obama responded in a half-humorous, half serious manner, dutiful responding to each of Zeleny's four miniquestions. My initial reaction was that the question was a perfectly good waste of a precious opportunity. Far better that someone had pushed Obama on torture, or Afghanistan, or health care than ask this, "If you were a tree, what kind would you be?" type question. Upon reflection, however, I think that's too positive a reaction – the question was worse than that – it was completely asinine and Zeleny should have his press accreditation revoked.
Murray disagrees. He writes, "When I first read this I was not sure if you were referring to the question I thought you were, which, I confess was the one that most interested me. Now I know that it was and I want to reply. Zeleny's was the only question, I believe, that elicited a spontaneous reply and I found that both refreshing and informative. Assuming that we do not disagree on that, I am guessing that your interest in the press conference is more like that of an umpire in a chess match: what moves are put on the President and how ably does he reply, which is to say, how effectively does he manage to "stay on message" without necessarily telling us anything new. Is that about it?"
I understand and empathize with Murray's reaction. Like all professors, we appreciate, I think, "students" (especially former Harvard Law students!) who demonstrate that they can think on their feet when thrown a curveball. It's how we test our grad students, or senior honors candidates, during their oral defense. I confess, however, that I don't think there's much correlation between being able to react to an off-script question and being an effective president. Indeed, I am tempted to argue that if there is a relationship, it is inverse – those presidents who demonstrate a type of "lawyer's skill" at thinking quickly on one's feet and who can score debating points or engage in skillful repartee at press conferences often make the worst presidents. The reason is because they approach decisionmaking, and leadership more generally, as if it is a logic problem that can be solved through sheer intellect. More generally, I worry that academics (and I'm not pointing the finger at Murray here) generally focus on the wrong attributes in assessing presidents – we should care less about verbal reasoning and SAT scores, and more about political instincts, prior experiences and deeply-held values – none of which would be exposed by Zeleny's question. I'm speculating in the absence of clear-cut data, of course. My more immediate reason for criticizing Zeleny's question is that press conferences are most useful if they force presidents to explain policy decisions. It's not supposed to be an oral exam (if you can even call Zeleny's softball question an "exam".) Students who do well on their oral exams should become professors – not presidents.
When the Arlen Specter story first broke, Jack Goodman wondered about a Ridge-Specter matchup. I speculated that Ridge would be a tough opponent for Specter. We now have two more polls suggesting that is the case. A Susquehanna automated interactive poll (one in which respondents press numbers on the phone keypads in response to an automated voice) has Ridge beating Specter, 39-38% (within the poll's margin of error, so essentially a tossup), but Specter beating the more conservative Pat Toomey 42-26%. A Public Opinion Strategy (a Republican polling firm) survey taken at about the same time had similar results; Specter beats Toomey 49-40, but loses to Ridge, 48-41%.
More interesting, perhaps, the POS poll also indicates that Specter would trounce the more liberal Democrat Joe Sestak in the Democratic primary, 57-20% and – somewhat surprisingly, perhaps – Ridge would handily beat conservative Toomey in the Republican primary, 60-23%. These results provide additional ammunition for my initial claim that Specter's voting patterns as a Democrat aren't likely to vary much from when he was a Republican since his primary electoral opposition isn't likely to come from the Left – it's from the moderate Right. The results have also, if news reports are to be believed, encouraged Ridge to consider tossing his hat into the ring. All this has to make Democrats think they were better off if Specter had remained a Republican, which might have kept Ridge out of the race altogether and opened it up for a true Democrat to defeat Specter in 2010.
Reacting to my blog on changing partisan affiliation among the general public, Andrew suggests that as national politics have become more polarized, people have moved from being weak partisans to self-identifying more as leaning independents – that is, they've become less wedded to the parties. I've graphed that movement here. The upper trend line shows the decline in "weak partisans" and the lower trend line shows the increase in "leaning independents" (I've included linear trend lines as well). The middle line shows the curvilinear trend of the strong partisans, revealing a gradual decline from the high in 1964 to its low point in 1978, where it begins increasing again.
Andy seems to be correct that there's an inverse relationship between the number of weak partisans and those self identifying as leaning independents, but the relationship seems to predate the gradual increase in strong partisans beginning at the start of the Reagan presidency in 1980. In other words, weak partisans began switching to leaning independents even before the uptick in the number of strong partisans in the public. A superficial read would suggest Andy has the causal relationship backward – that as a subset of the public became less wedded to parties, another portion reacted by strengthening their party attachments. I'm not quite sure what to make of that pattern – thoughts? Of course, it may be that the two patterns are not related at all.
Finally, if you get a chance take a look at Marty's very thoughtful comment regarding my previous blog on changing partisan attachments. I want to respond more fully to his warning re: the potential "dark side" to malleable partisan attachments; that parties' use of fear as a framing strategy can swing support their way. This is really a fascinating issue that deserves a more complete response. As a tease, however, let me offer a somewhat different take: that a significant subset of people doesn't hold "coherent" ideological views that correspond closely to a single party platform. Instead, they mix and match policy views without regard to ideological consistency. As a result, they are quite willing to switch party allegiances (and candidates) depending on the issues du jour. That's what I tried to suggest when I argued that there is a core of "moderate" Americans who tend to be quite pragmatic in their policy views and moderate in their ideological leanings.
As always, keep those comments coming! We are here to serve…

Live Broadcast – Star Sailors League Breeze Grand Slam and European Championship
Five exciting days of live broadcasting endet with a thrilling final.
In the end it was Robert Scheidt and Henry Boening who won the SSL Breeze Grand Slam in Riva del Garda and are officially the 2019 Star European Champions!!
It was an incredibly tense final race at the end of a thrilling, and at times, heart stopping finals day in Riva del Garda, Italy. Victory came for the Brazilian in the last few meters of the last leg of the last race. "I was so tired at the end that Henry had to tell me that we had won I didn't know we had. I was seeing black already, my heart rate was up that much," explained an exhausted but elated Scheidt at the end of the day. | https://www.chimbovision.com/2019/05/live-broadcast-star-sailors-league-breeze-grand-slam-and-european-championship/ | 2022/06/28 05:35:29 | mC4 |

'BUT' Theology - Part 3
to spare those who may stumble.
This Part 3 of my response to the sermon preached by Pastor Norm Millar at Harvest Bible Chapel in London Ontario on 26 Sept 2010 entitled "Knowing Where You Stand With Jesus." If you have come directly to this post, please read Part 1 first because the context of Pastor Millar's sermon is fully explained there and mostly in his own words. Then read Part 2 which covers most of his strongest arguments.
Before I pick up with some more of the passages he cites, most of them very briefly, now is a good time to address the elephant in the room.
Pastor Millar is not young in the faith. He has earned at least one degree from The Master's Seminary, and fills the position of Senior Pastor & Elder of a large church in the very popular and well known "Harvest Bible Chapel" family of churches. He's not a novice. In some cases the passages he cites have had a long history of debate about their meaning, in just a couple of these I can understand the debate to some extent. However, in the majority of cases, someone who is not a novice with the Scriptures ought to know better. The Pastor obviously holds his position passionately. I cannot speak to his intentions but I can speak to the fact that it is not wise to base a position on the blatantly wrong interpretation of many passages, and the commonly held and debated interpretations of a couple of passages. Especially when it deals with a subject like the Gospel or Salvation. My purpose in writing this series of articles is not to disparage the man, but to reach any of those who follow him (and other like minded teachers) before they become unrecoverable.
There's still a lot of ground left to cover in his 43 minute sermon. It's much easier, and quicker, to cite a passage in error than it is to explain it properly. I know the length of these articles will limit the audience they reach. However, I'm writing for an audience of One, and any He draws.
After Pastor Millar discusses 1Jn 3:23-24 (were we left of last in Part 2) he moves on to a rapid fire session of citing passages with very little comment; having already laid a foundation of understanding in his audience guiding them to believe that belief is obedience, or at least includes obedience. I however cannot gloss over the passages he speeds through because I don't have his same luxuries.
Acts 5:32 he says means that God only saves those who obey God.
Acts 5 starts with the fearful recounting of what God did to Ananias and Sapphira when they lied to the Holy Spirit by making false statements to Peter. Next we learn that people laid the sick along the road where Peter would walk so that his shadow might fall on them so they would be healed. When more people heard about these things a great multitude gathered to be healed. When the Jewish High Priest found out what was going on he had Peter and companions put in jail. That night an angel came to Peter and said "Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life." Acts 5:19-20
Peter was not only saved, he was "filled" with the Holy Spirit. Pastor Millar only quotes the end of what Peter says and also teaches on it out of context. This is the very definition of Proof-Texting.
The High Priest reminds Peter that he had explicitly commanded them NOT to preach about Jesus Christ in Acts 5:28. Peter's full response is found in Acts 5:29-32. Here we see that Peter is talking about his own obedience to God in preaching the Gospel, as the Angel commanded him to do, instead of staying quiet the way the High Priest had commanded him. Peter had such a powerful ministry, he was given or "filled with" the Holy Spirit because he obeyed God and not man.
Acts 5:32 is not at all expressing what Pastor Millar uses it for.
Next he says that there is a good example of his teaching in Rom 2:1-8. At first look I find the passage a strange one for him to quote because of the fact that he didn't want his congregation knowing what he had done all week... Verse 1 reads "Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things." But as I read it became clear why he quotes it. Rom 2:7-8 is his focus. Now I'd like to remind you that he claims not to be adding obedience to the Gospel, but here he is using this passage to say that God only gives eternal life to "those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality" Now if this is what you tell a sinner they must do to be saved, then that is most surely works based salvation, no matter how emphatically the Pastor claims otherwise. The word rendered as "immortality" in the NKJV is actually incorruptibility. Darby renders the verse this way "to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal."
Why is this important? Back up to verse Rom 2:6 speaking about God in His judgment. That He renders to each according to their works. When is He going to do this? When we are in Heaven, that's when we will be given rewards based on the things we have done in the flesh - whether good or evil. Paul explains this to the Corinthians in 2Cor 5:9-10, and of the same function, with a slightly different context we see the same sort of impartiality of judgment being taught by Paul in Rom 14:10-13 Of course here he's talking about Christians judging each other for how they serve God. We would do well to camp in this chapter for some time.
In short Romans 2 is not telling sinners that in order to be saved they must endure in good works. It's telling high minded Gentile sinners, and Jewish sinners alike that God will judge them with impartiality. That all will be "rewarded" at judgment for what we have done. Those of us who look forward to resurrection ( to incorruptibility in Heaven) will receive our rewards for our good works there, but those who do not have that hope will receive condemnation in the Lake of Fire.
That's a lot of explanation for a verse he only mentions in passing, I suggest you read the whole chapter of Romans yourself, and 1Peter 1:13-21 as well.
Next up is Romans 6:16 with which he equates obedience leading to righteousness as obedience leading to Eternal Salvation. Need I remind you once again that he claims over and over again to NOT be saying one obeys in order to become saved? It is clear from the passage, which is actually the chapter in full, that the people he's writing to have a choice about obedience. Again and again this is clear in the passage. In Rom 6:22 we find explicitly that these people have in fact been saved. They are not mere professors as Pastor Millar appears fond of accusing people of being, no not at all! Paul says of these people, in Rom 6:17-18 "But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness." What did they obey? The doctrine that had been delivered to them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 1Cor 15:3-4. Obeying the Gospel is believing it. Rom 10:16 and Isa 53:1. Not living a life of obedience.
Now is a good moment to bring up that the Pastor is employing what I call an "Elephant Gun Argument" in Fail-Safe For Fallacy. In short, a teacher will wear down his audience with his double barrelled citing of a huge amount of verses with very little explanation. The listener is not able to challenge each verse and eventually most people listening to this kind of argument will just give in. The man must be right... look at how many verses support his view! This sort of teaching does great abuse to the weaker Brethren who trust their teachers.
Hebrews is a challenging book. It is especially hard to overcome the bad teaching so many of us have been exposed to.
Hebrews 5:9 he says explains that God only saves those who obey Him, and if you read only that verse it sure does sound like that. Sort of like if you only read Mark 16:16 you might think that you need to be baptized in order to gain Eternal Life. Heb 5:9 says that God is the cause of salvation for all who obey Him, and interestingly enough this is the exact same statement as we saw in John 3:36. See this Bad Kool-Aid post for an explanation. He has been made the High Priest by God, which is the point of the passage, and when we obey Him we believe His testimony of Himself about Himself. Just the same as John 3 tells us. Also, look at Heb 4:9-11 that the obedience is for us to enter into rest. There can be no assurance if you base it on your performance. What's more, the focus Hebrews is not much getting saved but being sanctified. Read Heb 5:12-14 and the continued thought in Heb 6:1-3. The Writer of Hebrews is bringing believers to the topic of perfection in the faith, not teaching about how to get, be or know if you're saved.
Last on the menu for this part of the series; Pastor Millar brings up James 2:14-26 and claims that James the Brother of the Lord Jesus Christ says that true saving faith works. This is also a passage that has become exceedingly difficult to understand because of multitudes of teachers who inflict exactly the opposite of what James said on the Church. I have a detailed post entitled James 2 From The Text which ought to be helpful. James actually, factually, said that the one who says "show me your faith by your works" was being foolish! James himself never taught that concept as truth!
The Pastor quotes James 2:24 and notes that it says that a person is justified by works, not just by faith alone. Remember that the Pastor claims not to preach that salvation by works. However, he claims that James says that Eternal Salvation (Pastor's context, not James') is not by faith alone, but also by works. Confused? James is talking about justification before men, and the perfecting of a person's faith (not the proving of it, as the Pastor inserts into the Text here).
The perfecting of a person's faith is what James is teaching about. The animation of faith with works, so that it is profitable for others as well.
Pastor Millar applies James 2:26:
"He concludes in verse 26 for as the body apart from the spirit is dead so faith apart from works is dead. So how do you know you're a Christian? It's a crucial question, how do you know you have saving faith?"
It's another complicated problem with his presentation of the Text that can be hard to understand, so for a very clear and detailed examination I suggest that you read Dr. Fred Lybrand's Back to Faith. However, here's an exert from the book from pg 99-101.
The final interpretive issue is found in the analogy in James 2:26. The analogy involves the relationship between the body and the spirit, making the simple point that when a body does not have a spirit, the body is dead. Those who hold to the cliché tend to misunderstand this as a simple reiteration of dead faith, and while apparent, they miss the nature of the analogy. Again, the analogy is that when the spirit is removed from the body, then the body is dead. It shows an intimate relationship between the two. Those who hold to the cliché tend to speak in terms such that a moving and active body shows that there is a spirit within, the two are inseparable, as are faith and works. In their understanding, they see the activity of the body as paralleling works, while the hidden nature of the spirit parallels faith. In offering the analogy this way, it seems to perfectly explain their concern, such that they insist "that faith proves itself by works" just as "the spirit proves itself by the body."
The problem is that James's example is the exact reversal of the way in which those who hold to the cliché understand it. James parallels the body with faith and the spirit with works. In other words, it is not that the spirit animates the body, and so faith animates works; rather it is that the works are that which animate, or give life, to the faith. Kierkegaard noticed this fact and has this view labeled as a "new interpretation," Kierkegaard provides a new interpretation, based on the sola fide principle, for the epistle of St. James:
'When James says: just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead (2,26) – one might rather reverse the order and say: so also works without faith are dead; for faith, apparently, corresponds rather to the spirit, and works rather to the body, than conversely.' (X:1 A457).
It is noteworthy that Kierkegaard's understanding of sola fide allowed him to see what has always been apparent in the text. Those who hold to the cliché need the verse to read conversely: "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so works without faith are dead also." In essence, James is not so much talking about sequence, if faith then works, but rather combination, faith plus works. The combination of faith plus works is not to secure salvation from hell to heaven, but to propel the spiritual growth of the already-saved by giving fullness to a faithful walk with God, and a warning for avoiding "death" through the failure to add works to one's faith.
It is always more complicated to explain why something someone is teaching is wrong than it is to simply teach a point wrongly. We've made great progress though. There are only three more passages which the Pastor uses in his sermon. Mat 7, Col 1:22-23 and 1Jn 5:13.
We'll get to those passages, and deal with the 5 questions he tells his audience to use in evaluating whether they are saved or not. I'll be focusing on the special problem of why he back peddles at the end of his sermon to say that he's not saying they are not saved if they faith the test.
The finish line will come in Part 5 as I look at his proposed solution to those who will fail his test, and what I believe the Bible truly has to say about all of this.
Of course, my plans are most subject to the immutable will of God. So all my boasting aside this series will continue and finish as God allows.
Please find Part 4 here.

Elephant in the room AND an Elephant Gun.
I'm not overly original...
So, I'm wondering, who are you? Who is standing with you? Who has opportunity to hold you accountable? I know the online world isn't the best place to parade out personal details, but you're putting forth yourself as a critic of one part of the body of Christ. Please don't misread this--I am not saying, who do you think you are... it's just you are setting yourself up as quite an authority on matters of eternal importance, and some may be following you, so that puts you, biblically, in a position of much responsibility.
I am one of those in the seats at Harvest London. I do read my Bible for myself. I am also aware of the structure of fellowship and correction and examination that Norm and all of us at Harvest London are part of.
So, who are you? And what benefit to the church of Christ do you perceive yourself to be offering? Because, biblically, there are all kinds of warnings and direction concerning what you are doing in this particular forum, that as possibly beneficial as technology can be, doesn't afford the kind of relationship that I think Jesus wants for his church.
You seem to represent some particular "schools" of doctrine, you seem to be somewhat arrogant toward other lines of thought and practice, and seem to have no regard for the real life, real people, real time context of what God is doing at Harvest London, one small part of the body of Christ, the church that he, Christ, is building.
No matter what your point of view or statement of faith, Kevin, your online "attitude" seems far more dangerous and unprofitable to the church than anything at which you are leveling your guns.
Might I humbly suggest that you, Kevin, like me, are not as smart as you think.
Is there some way you might like to connect without an audience?
Thanks for stopping in. I understand how upsetting it is to read your Pastor's words being challenged. He is in a position of power and trust. Pastor Millar in particular is also a very likeable guy.
Head's up - the type of language you employed in your comment is not the sort that encourages one to "connect without an audience" with you.
Please, point out publicly what about these articles make you feel I'm arrogant. If they are instances of arrogance then I will do my best to dial that back.
You said that I apear not to be concerned with the real life, real people at Harvest. Oh on the contrary!! What lovely people there are there, and God's beloved are sweet to me. I'm greatly concerned for them, and all of the Church which is experiencing the tragic results of the Lordship Salvation controversy.
I don't represent a "school" of doctrine at all... unless that school is simply to understand the Scriptures as they are written... which I understand is a common claim no mater what the person really practices. I do not represent a "free grace" position... or school. I represent what I believe the Scriptures truly say.
Please do offer Biblical correction, whether it is about the arguments in these articles... or if it is about challenging Pastor Millar.
Anonymous & All,
Why blog about this stuff? It's a valid question. Yet, I'm sure that some people who object to this particular series of blog posts have read about people like Joel Osteen... Benny Hinn... Todd Bentley...
There are some people would object to any sort of posting no matter who it is abou. These people are at the very least consistent, and that is something to enjoy and honor about them.
However, with regard to me. I blog because it's a powerful way to learn. Because the conversations happen in slow time comments can be well researched and considered. There is also a record of previous conversations that can later be referenced.
I've been bloging about my walk with Christ and various things related to that walk for a bit over 5 years now. Before that I blogged (though it wasn't called that at the time) about computers and video games for several years.
Why do I blog? Because it is very helpful.
Of course people can abuse blogs... but they can, and often do, abuse the structure of the local Church as well.
The method or the means of discussion is not what is important. The character of that discussion is what is important.
Pastor Millar is a man who has at times given wise counsel for my life and ministry. I do not dislike the man. I honestly desire him to have a wonderful ministry that is wholly biblical and God honoring.
This blog is how I learn, and is about my walk. Pastor Millar has had a huge impact on my life through his teaching of Lordship Salvation principles. Since he has had impact, it is reasonable that I explore that impact.
All reading may challenge any point of doctrine in these or other articles. I'm probably not going to debate with you, but I will engage in conversation. If Pastor Millar is correct about a point of doctrine that will not disapoint me in the slightest. I'm encouraged by learning truth, and I hope you all are as well.
You still haven't spoken to the source of the "authority" you exercise. God holds us all responsible for our words, and more so those who are called to or accept a position of leadership. I think taking the position of author on something such as a blog or book, also means taking on the position of teacher, and all the responsibility before God and man that that entails.
So, I'll ask again, who stands with you? Who is holding you accountable? You are apparently very willing to exercise criticism, and there's nothing in my mind wrong with that. You suggest that others can be labelled, but deny labels for yourself. You are not being transparent. You are not disclosing your own bias. But you are taking the position of "virtual" pastor/teacher.
Forgive my language, Kevin, but until we can see in you a teachable, submissive attitude, your language is very deflective.
Job 11:2-6 might offer a point of meditation for you.
Let me put this simply: where is your picture? You're willing to post and repost Norm's pic. I'm sorry, Kevin, but you appear to be a man not "in the arena".
Until you hang yourself out there like you are willing to do with others, you can't expect any open dialogue.
Even secular bloggers understand that if they want to engage their audience, they need to take the first steps of disclosure and authenticity. That doesn't mean giving away info on home or family, only self.
Man up, brother. Our Savior demands it.
Your demands are most amusing for someone who is posting as "anonymous." :)
You said You still haven't spoken to the source of the "authority" you exercise.
I've been quoting Scripture. That is my authority. I have not been using "my" authority to challenge Pastor Millar, only holding him to the standard that he explains is important for a Christian to be held to.
You said Forgive my language, Kevin, but until we can see in you a teachable, submissive attitude, your language is very deflective.
I'm sorry but you must have missed my last comment to you where I asked (in bold no less) that you PLEASE offer any Biblical correction that you might have.
I'm not sure how much more teachable I can appear to you.
You said Let me put this simply: where is your picture?
Dear Anonymous, no one is forcing you to post here.. or to read here. I don't "expect" a dialogue qith you, but if you are willing to offer something relevant to the article then I'm most interested in reading such.
Book/Chapter/Verse please. And please while you're providing this also provide why this same doesn't apply to yourself.
I apologize for not being clear. I'm just a guy, so thankful for my hope in Christ. Although I continue in reading God's word, and trust in and appreciate the Holy Spirit's guidance and teaching, I'm not a graduate or accomplished teacher of any church or school. What I was looking to see in you was credibility. I get that you are doing your best to use and apply God's word in your criticism. But you don't seem to want to acknowledge being part of any local body, or your own call of God to do what you do. I like to know of whom I'm being "taught". When somebody like me, currently "anonymous", checks out a blog, we want some idea of where that author is coming from. You have set yourself up as an authority. But you are quite anonymous yourself. Fair or not, I say, you go first. Because I don't quote you chapter and verse, does that mean you don't accept Biblical principles of accountability and discipline, and indeed the authority of the local church? You have chosen not to respond to many of the specifics I mentioned. You can't hide behind the thought of God's word being your authority, when you are making so much interpretation, application and distinction. How can anyone care how well you are handling the word when you won't first step out from behind this media platform so we can consider your credibility. Norm I know. Where he came from, where he's going. Over time. You I don't know. Because you are hiding on a social media pedestal, doling out your judgements to us poor folk who know no better. Thanks, but no thanks.
I don't always (hardly ever actually) agree with Kevin, and recognize that he does have an arrogant slant, BUT (that's for you Kev) these things are not the issue. Neither is what authority he writes under, in fact your requirement for human authority (the elders of Israel demanded the same thing from Christ Matt 21:23) smacks of Protestant Popery.
What is at issue, is what exactly did Kevin write, and is it true. I don't attend your church and know nothing of what is going on there, but perhaps you could enlighten us. Are the things Kevin is writing about true? Does your pastor say such and such a thing? Then, is such and such a thing biblical? These are to be the things that concern us. Asking for his authority or picture or some other such thing is just another goat trail, and these are to be reserved for goats. Christ's sheep walk on His trail, it's the sheep trail of the word of God that we are to be concerned about.
So, is what Kevin wrote true? Is his assessment biblical?
You wrote But you don't seem to want to acknowledge being part of any local body, or your own call of God to do what you do.
I am walking in God's call on my life, and I am an active member of a local assembly which honors God faithfully.
These things which are apparently important to you, are not relevant to the discussion at hand. You are practicing the Ad Hominem logical fallacy.
You wrote You can't hide behind the thought of God's word being your authority, when you are making so much interpretation, application and distinction.
I'm not hiding.. what I say is here plainly written. Do you want to know about me? Buy my book, there is a lot about me, my walk, and my ministry in it. If you're looking for a personality to follow... sorry I'm not your guy.
Do you wish to show me where any interpretation, application and distinction is in error? It does not seem like the argument is important to you at all.
How can anyone care how well you are handling the word when you won't first step out from behind this media platform so we can consider your credibility.
I'm not trying to impress anyone.. I don't actually care if you care how well I'm handling the Text. If I'm in error you are perfectly free to call me on it.
Who wrote the book of Hebrews btw?
Norm I know. Where he came from, where he's going.
That's great. I know Pastor Millar as well. I know him well enough to know that he prefers to be called Norm. However, I will pay him proper respect for the sake of those who are reading, even if he would prefer that I just call him Norm.
You I don't know.
That's fine. Do you have to know me in order to determine if what I'm saying is true or not?
Because you are hiding on a social media pedestal, doling out your judgements to us poor folk who know no better. Thanks, but no thanks.
Again, no one is forcing you to post here. I'm hardly hiding...
Now finally, and let me be clear. I understand your frustration. It is obvious that you are not equipped to evaluate Pastor Norm's teaching, or mine. I understand that you love the man. He's a dear fellow, it is true.
However, that being said, if you are not able or willing to challenge the points that have been raised then you shouldn't resort to personal attacks. I have not treated you that way, and I have not treated Pastor Millar that way.
ALL READING, I ask you to give Anonymous a break. I just approved a post by Look Up. But I won't approve any more that address Anonymous. This person is ill advised, but he/she is just trying to protect their Pastor as best they know how. The same thing any member of an assembly might do.
Very good post. I especially appreciate the "BUT" part. :)
I'm going to remember the "goat trail vs sheep trail" analogy. I'm sure it will be amusing and helpful in the future.
The arrogant part bothers me... I am not arrogant really... and I despise coming off that way. I am agressive... I'll give you that.
I removed Pastor Millar's picture because it seemed to be causing Anonymous to stumble.
It is common practice to include a picture of the person you're responding to... but it is not material to discussion any more than a picture of myself would be.
I would prefer to keep the picture there because it's just good publishing practice for a lot of reasons... but if it causes a Brother to stumble then I must do what I can to avoid that.
My sincere apology for wandering around in conversation. A little diligence on my part gave me a good picture of who and sort of 'what' you are. Should have done my homework.
If I can leave you with anything, Kevin, it would be this--you've made all kinds of assumptions and judgements about me, as an anonymous poster. Don't worry about my feelings or whether or not I possess an appropriate IQ. What you seem to be (and I don't judge your heart or motives, of course) is just another arrogant fundamentalist. Perhaps you should restrict your focus to the life and people of your local church, submitting yourself to that Christ-ordained authority, and allow others the same. You might be in much danger of the pride that can overtake those who seek a wider following than God has called them to. It looks to me like you aren't handling the wordly freedom of social media very well. Brother, really, I implore you--humble yourself. You've done a pretty good job of attempting to humble me... perhaps some inward examination. I'll leave the specific chapter and verse that might convict you up to the Holy Spirit. May you have eyes to see, and a tender heart.
I don't know whether you would take this as being directed toward anonymous or not. It could be. But I am really wondering about this charge of arrogance. Can someone who sees it please provide some kind of example of it? I am kind of scratching my head over that one. Kev, I have seen you be, as you put it, aggressive (I would say opinionated) but "arrogant" hasn't come up on my radar.
I usually recognize arrogance when I see it because I can't stand it at all. I mean it really drives me crazy. I don't care if I agree with the arrogant person's position or not. If I don't, they are exasperating and infuriating. If I do, then they are also exasperating, but for different reasons. They are embarrassing and I am ashamed and grieved to have to be aligned with them. Either way I want to distance myself from them ASAP. I don't get any of that from you, though. If I did, I wouldn't post here, because no matter how much I might agree with you I wouldn't be able to stand you and wouldn't want to be identified with you.
(And, just for the record, I don't always see the LSers as arrogant pigs either. A lot of the time they aren't at all. Several of them have been very pleasant. Just in case anyone was wondering.)
I'd like to see some examples as well. I did ask Anonymous to provide them. Other than his assertion that I am a "Fundamentalist" I see no offered evidence of his/her claims.
It really is nothing more than an Ad Hominem attack.. it really is OK. I think this speaks volumes about why fallacy can be preached at pulpits without it being checked.
The local assembly is ordained to do exactly what Pastor Millar expressed. However, we (I include my own assembly) are doing a TERRIBLE job of discipling people. Most people sitting in the seats at church couldn't recognize error, let alone answer it.
Preachers can say just about anything they want infront of a congregation and most of the people there will not dare question them... This of course is a matter of my opinion based on my interaction with many assemblies... but is surely not authoritative in any way.
Oh and I don't see all LSers as arrogant either. I would not describe Pastor Norm in that way at all.
This conversation is simply distracting us from reaching the lost and fueling a long debate. The Lordship point could be argued (and has been on many other blogs) for an endless amount of time. I also sit in the seats each Sunday at Harvest London and appreciate Norm's sincerity and passion to teach God's Word faithfully. It seems odd to me why you would choose to point out Norm as your example when many other more well known Bible teachers also hold to this belief?
Hello AnotherAnonymous,
I point out Pastor Millar in this series because his preaching has had a devastating effect on the ministry of people I know very well.
As for if LS theology can be successfully argued or not... well I haven't seen it done. I've seen people convinced but never because an argument from the Scriptures.
If you're feeling distracted by holding the preaching of the Word to unadulterated truth then you are in need of help.
You may be able to "reach the lost" with a false unsaving gospel message... but so can the Catholics, Mormons and all the other works based religions of the world.
If you desire to see people saved in Christ, then the first step is to know and preach truth without compromise.
I'm sorry if you think that is "arrogant"... but I believe the Bible is meant to be understood, and preached clearly.
I read the first comment in this thread by an anonymous person. His reaction is so typical. He will not consider the possibility that his pastor is teaching an incorrect interpretation of the Gospel. Here you have laid out a reasonable argument, have quoted his pastor and shown the inconsistency of the pastor's words with the Scriptures. My experience is that when an LS man's teaching is put under legitimate scrutiny the followers of that pastor/teacher take that as a personal attack and question the motives and credentials of the one who raised the concerns. Anonymous has demonstrated this.
PS to Anonymous: I, for one, am standing with Kev.
You can delete this without posting, it is intended for personal edification only.
This comment you made is a good indication of an arrogant slant.
"If you're feeling distracted by holding the preaching of the Word to unadulterated truth then you are in need of help."
When it is recognized that a person is in need of help, an arrogant statement by one who thinks they are in the know is to say, "You are in need of help", whereas a servant in the matter will do what they can to offer it, without necessarily implying that the other person is not as far along as they are. It is the approach that comes across as arrogance.
Now there are times when we are in need of humbling a pharisaical type, which in some instances to match arrogance with arrogance is sometimes called for. It comes down to the right time and place.
In this thread, being emotionally detached from the issue, I can say harder things than you can, which is why I could post the way I did with less harm or foul. That way it frees you up to either agree or delete it if someone else says the hard thing.
While my arrogance (or lack of it) is not really the subject of discussion I did ask to be shown it.
I would have preferred to have something that would validate the previous accusations. Not a new instance. But a new instance is fine. Would be more meaningful if it showed a patter though.
I would whole heartedly agree with you if I actually thought AnotherAnonymous actually needed help - which I do not.
This conversation is simply distracting us from reaching the lost and fueling a long debate.
This is not a plea for help, or a flag showing their need of help with regard to distraction. This is just a spiritual sounding accusation. It is obvious beyond reasonable doubt that the person is not, nor is anyone else being, distracted from reaching the lost by this discussion.
It's a packaged response designed to reduce the credibility of an argument you do not wish to engage head on.
Is it arrogant to recognize this?
BTW Look Up, you're right in this thread you do have more leeway than I do.
What complicates things is that I am more invested, so it makes it harder for me not to respond full on.
It's an interesting interpersonal situation.
Lou thanks.
It's always better to have someone else give witness than to claim a witness for one's own self.
Thanks for giving an example of Kev being arrogant.
I think I see why you would say that, reading Kev's line all by itself. There are definitely circumstances under which that would be quite rude indeed.
But in the context of this conversation I think it is a bit different. I think here it falls under the humbling the pharisee type of statement.
Here is what I compare it to. Do you know the type of person who, when you don't know them very well you think they are just wonderful, but to those who know them well (family, say) there is a whole other set of factors? So you can't understand for the life of you why someone is seemingly treating his or her family member so badly at some point in time? The family member may seem to have done something totally innocent, or even positive and good, but in reality it was a manipulative tactic to get what they want and the people who have been manipulated by said person for time out of mind know this, so an outsider might completely misconstrue what looks to them like a rude retort (or worse) and it is really only self defense, or something similar. But the outsider does not have the whole story so they don't know how to interpret the circumstance properly.
I think that kind of thing is what we have here.
Kev knows some of these people. There is a lot under the surface that we are not privy to so some of his comments might seem strange to us. But they make perfect sense to him and those to whom they are directed.
I am sure that in this case at least that comment was not at all arrogant.
Really, Kev is being quite the gentleman in this comment thread.
I listened to this sermon that you are trying to dismantle. You state this:
Well I listened to this sermon and at the 15 min,06 sec mark. The pastor mentions this verse. He DOES NOT make this statement you are suggesting. Maybe you are simply confused. I certainly hope that you are not misrepresenting him on purpose. Right? I think you need to rectify that in your post. So the exegesis you provide is truly un-called for. Maybe you should listen to this sermon again. Have you misrepresented other things in this sermon, possibly unknowingly?
Hello Nolan, welcome to OMW.
NOTE on timings - if you download the file the times are different than if you stream it. Must be two different files...
Thank you! No examination of LS theology is complete without the cry of misrepresentation! I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong...
OK I hope you have a sense of humor about that. :)
Perhaps you can tell us all what Pastor Millar really meant by quoting this verse.
I have listened to this sermon at least 10 times now. I suppose I could listen again and count how many times the Pastor conditions Salvation on obedience... but maybe you will consider the word "many" sufficient.
If you listen to his preceding points, in the 14:00+ range you will see that he is conditioning salvation on obedience. 14:50+ "Now again not works based salvation but if you're really saved there'll be some keeping of His commandments. And then He says this..."
At 15:06 he quotes Acts 5:32saying that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him.
What is the Pastor's context here? He's talking about how to know if you're saved or not. His context is salvation only happens to those who obey.
His whole message is about this....
So you can cry "misrepresentation!" but any can click the link and listen to the man's teaching. His message is entitled "knowing where you stand with Jesus" and he explains this is "How can you know you're saved?"
How can you know you're saved? If you obey Him. That's the Pastor's message. If you are saved there will be obedience, if there is no obedience you are not saved. Therefore God only saves those who obey Him.
Part 4 is roughly written, but I have a lot of polish to do on it.
I hope to have it up tomorrow evening - Wednesday.
The comments have taken some time - but that's ok. It's valuable to see how people interact with teaching.
I was making an observation of your accusation that he said something specific, that he did not say. Maybe in your zeal to argue against lordship your polemic has become tainted. We can at times see or hear things that are not there, when we offer up an apologia or polemic, due to strong convictions no matter if they are wrong or not(our convictions). I did not comment on what you thought he was saying, nor lordship or no lordship but what you said he said. That specific statement is just not there. So in the spirit of that sense, yes you did misrepresent him.
You said I was making an observation of your accusation that he said something specific, that he did not say.
If you look at the article above you will see that I did not represent those words as a direct quote. I described how he employed the passage, and what he infers it means.
I'm not sure I had to be that complicated in my wording... I could probably make a book out of answering each individual error in his sermon... if I were to ensure such specific language.
What you're doing here is representing my characterization of his words as in error because I did not directly quote him... though my representation of his words was accurate.
I did not represent his words specifically, so your complaint is answered by simply reading the article.
To be helpful, you will notice that his words are almost always quoted in block quotes, and are always in the color green (unless he is directly quoting Scripture, in which case they will be red).
This is pretty much my standard practice here. Hopefully that will help you in the future.
You just submitted a comment with a link in it. I suspect you were intending it just for myself.
Just in case you meant it to be posted; I do not normally allow links to outside materials. Normally, I ask people to take whatever is relevant and post it here in the form of a comment.
The link is about obedience in the covenants. I'm aware of the covenants, and what they entailed.
I don't really want to get into discussion about how this relates to salvation - because this is not at all what the Pastor was preaching about, and what he was preaching about is the subject.
However, I may go to this topic in the future.
I will say that gaining Eternal Salvation in Christ is not a covenant. But that's all for now. I have not read the entire link - it is fairly lengthy. So I may be misinterpreting what you intended.
No need to clarify. I will read it as I'm able, and as I noted, the Pastor is not relating covenant theology to his usage of these verses.
Nearly every LS sermon I have ever heard (which is a very large number) all have the same theme, "are you doing enough to know that you are saved?" I can tell what they are all going to say just by the choice one of their top 100 favourite verses.
It is kind of like the JW's, they only know 6% of the Bible (their version), but that 6% they know by rote. Get them off the path of their favourite hobby horse and they don't know what to do. THEN you see them outside of their private circle and they are not at all what they tell each other they should be. That would be the same reason Norm doesn't want to have his works followed.
"HE DOESN'T LIVE WHAT HE HIMSELF PREACHES."
That is the definition of a hypocrite!
He would do better to cry out with the publican "God be merciful to me a sinner", the problem is that like all LS proponents he refuses to own all that that title means. Until he comes to know what manner of spirit he is, he will never know his need of a Saviour.
I did struggle with putting that in the article, and it will return in Part 4 because he brings it up again.
I ended up using it because it is a prefect example of the confusion in the theology. They use verses which speak clearly of perfection, as though they only mean a "direction." They define the need to look at our works for assurance by our clear and definite instructions to live holy, obedient, fruitful lives - but when they can't live up to the standard they lower it.
This will be a major theme of the next two articles, but there is just no room for half-way in the Scriptures. If you interpret these verses as being determinative of whether someone is saved or not, then they have to be perfect or they fail the test.
The obvious confusion between what the Text reads and the teacher's experience causes the teachers to use very complicated and confusing descriptions of their theology.
I don't think Pastor Millar is a hypocrite, I think he is victimized by his teachers. It is impossible for him to live up to the standard he's reading out of the Text, and he knows it. Imagine standing before 400 -800 people reading these verses and knowing that you yourself are far from perfect? yikes. What if someone out there DID see how your yesterday was going? uhoh!
The pressure the man must have been under would crush most people.
I don't mean to argue with you no matter what you say... though it may look like that. I just don't think hypocrisy is the issue. I think the confusion just follows naturally from trying to preach two conflicting messages at the same time - let alone trying to live them...
He states and even corrects himself the second time that we are saved "by faith, through grace", when in reality it is "by grace through faith". Though subtle, there is a world of difference there. "By faith" is how great works are done (Heb 11), "By grace" is where the power to do those works comes from. To say that one does something "by faith, through grace" is to put the human effort first, it makes faith the power and grace the channel of that power. This is backwards. Grace is the power, faith is the channel that grace is received 'through'.
Wow we've found something we have no disagreement on! LOL I suppose it had to happen at some point. :)
However, I thought if one of us said the sky is blue the other would respond with "not quite."
I was going to mention this in his sermon - but I'm not convinced he was actually expressing a theological understanding. I suspect with so much to hold in his head that he just stumbled on his words.
I do that when I'm teaching something that I expect a particular group to have a hard time with. It's very hard to keep what you expect their problems in understanding are in your mind (so you can over come the problems for them) while you're teaching.
I hope this is the case here with Pastor Millar.
But your evaluation of what it would mean seems correct to me.
I'm still working on Part 4. Right now it is truly MASSIVE..
Here's how one person who I am accountable to put it in an email to me.
I am finally enduring the torture of listening to Millar's sermon. I had to stop after 8 minutes. I already have 4 pages of notes.
I'll continue working but I do not expect to get this posted tonight. I truly underestimated the amount of information that would have to be covered about his last three arguments.
There are a number of other problems which are not directly related to his arguments... but are symptoms of his theology. Deciding how detailed I need to be with each of these is proving to be challenging. | http://onmywalk.blogspot.com/2010/10/but-theology-part-3.html | 2018/07/15 22:47:03 | mC4 |

1 | example_72809 | It goes without saying, you need a powertrain to make the car go. And personnel to run a team. Technical director Christian Silk stepped up to team boss, longstanding driver Oliver Turvey committed to stay and a Chinese holding firm called Lisheng bought out the entry and assets.
At pre-season testing in Valencia, it was a testament to how hard the sparse amount of team members had been working that they were there, had cars and got some laps in. A replacement powertrain had been sourced via rival (and frequently backmarking themselves) team Dragon and there were drivers – Turvey joined by Chinese on/off Formula E racer Ma Qing Hua.
But it looked bleak. Most garages, at testing, are stuffed to the brim with… things. Computers, cables, hard drives and sensors and radios and laser measurers and every tool you could possibly think of. Normally, at the end of private testing, it’s the first time the teams can really get paranoid and insist that whoever is in the garage to the right is doing something with the brakes and on the left they’re deliberately turning down their powertrain.
For NIO 333 Racing it was just a concentrated effort to get out of the garages. Which were nearly empty, a few laptops and toolboxes the only sign of activity. I caught one of the personnel leaning heavily on a set of tyres, hands over head, at the end of day two of what looked like it was about to be one of motorsport’s most relentlessly, gruellingly, success-free seasons of impossibly hard graft and it would take a cruel person not to feel empathy. It’s not for lack of trying, after all.

1 | example_105974 | All the opening times for every Essex J D Wetherspoon on Saturday - Essex Live
The popular pub chain will be reopening its doors for the first time Saturday
Updated 14:48, 3 JUL 2020
It has been a long few months for many Essex residents waiting for Wetherspoons to reopen again.
But the wait is nearly over, with less than 24 hours until they reopen their doors to eager pub-goers on Saturday (July 4).
Saturday nights haven't been the same without those sticky floors, cocktails in a pitcher or bowls of crispy chips.
And with 23 'Spoons available in Essex - you are not short for choice.
Of course, when the pubs open, they are going to look quite different.
In their most recent statement, the chain said they had invested an initial £11m to ensure that the correct safety measures are in place for opening.
This means when you step through your local, there will be hand sanitisers jotted around the pub as well as on the entrance.
Social distancing measures will be in place too - with screens at the tills and around certain seating areas.
At least two staff are also employed in every pub for purely sanitising purposes, cleaning all contact points and surfaces.
You may also spot staff wearing PPE, with the gloves, masks and eyewear they are given and optionally allowed to wear.
What time will the pubs be open?
The good news is if you have really missed Wetherspoons, you could spend all day there if you so please on Saturday.
From 8am Wetherspoons in Essex will reopen their doors - meaning you could have a classic Spoons breakfast and early drink to start the day.
The pubs will remain open all the way through till 1am, so your late nights out can resume normality - even if it is socially distanced.
Their general opening hours are from 8am to midnight Sunday to Thursday, and 8am to 1am Friday to Saturday.
When it comes to ordering your favourites - you may need to double-check the menu. Wetherspoons said it will offer a slightly reduced menu and provide sachets of sauces instead of bottles. | https://www.essexlive.news/news/essex-news/opening-times-wetherspoons-essex-pubs-4288388 | 2022/05/21 09:58:02 | mC4 |

Muzzey (American, 1865-1943) artist, illustrator, craftswoman, teacher, designer/decorator and art-writer, but was well known for her landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes, portraits and outdoor botanical/floral and wildflower scenes in oil and watercolor, as well as furniture designs, basketry and textile work. Alice was born August 9, 1865 in Cambridge, MA, and became a self-taught artist with no formal art education.
In 1896, Alice opened her first art school studio located on the north side of the 3rd floor of the newly built Twentieth Century Club, an exclusive private women's club located at 595 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. She primarily taught young children, and her courses featured painting, drawing and design, as well as the history of art & architecture which helped to prepare her students for European travel and art study. Miss Muzzy, as she was affectionately called by her pupils, was a well-respected teacher, and maintained various school studios in several Buffalo locations through the early 1900's. One notable pupil who attended her Saturday morning classes in the late 1890's, was the Western New York artist and architect, Harold LeRoy Olmsted (American, 1886-1972).

When asked about the importance of rental incentives in 2014, renters said they help motivate, but they're not a deal breaker for most. Here's more on what renters said when asked about the importance of rental incentives when deciding on an apartment.
Nice to have but not a deal breaker: 33%
They're one of a few key factors in deciding to move or stay put: 28%
I haven't even seen any rental incentives during my apartment search: 20%
They're critically important (make or break): 14%
I don't care about rental incentives at all: 5%

Above-Ground Pool Filtration
Above-Ground Pool Filtration, Accessories Cheapism
Swimming Pools Features (continued) Above-Ground Pool Filtration. Whatever type of cheap above-ground pool you buy, it's guaranteed to collect dirt, grass, bugs, and other pollutants that must be filtered, skimmed, vacuumed, and shocked with chemicals to keep the water clear and clean. (By the way, don't even think about transferring lake toys that could be contaminated with algae into a cheap above-ground pool; doing so could leave you with an above-ground pond.) The pump and filter systems for inflatable swimming pools such as the Intex Easy Set models and the framed pools by Intex, Heritage, and Seaview Club that we researched come with a replaceable cartridge filter system that should be changed as often as weekly; make sure to read the instructions. In reviews of these pools, however, many pool owners gripe about the undersized pumps and filters included with cheap above-ground pools, noting that filters clog quickly and water doesn't circulate sufficiently. Several consumers say hosing down the filter every few hours or even daily helps ensure clean water and can extend the filter's useful life. Many pool owners insist that buying a heftier pump and better filter is a worthwhile investment. But you can also step up to a different type of filter system. A sand filter is easier to maintain than regular cartridges -- Intex says the sand on its filter needs to be replaced every five years. (Note: This is a schedule that could outlast your cheap backyard pool.) But sand filters are also far costlier, starting in the neighborhood of $200. | http://www.cheapism.com/above-ground-pools | 2013/05/19 23:31:17 | mC4 |

What is Disease X? Scientists who discovered Ebola warns against potentially fatal viruses

NEW DELHI: The scientists who helped discover the Ebola virus in 1976 has warned against an unknown number of new and potentially fatal viruses faced by humanity among which is 'Disease X'.
"We are now in a world where new pathogens will come out," said Professor Jean-Jacques Muyembe Tamfum, who helped discover the Ebola virus in 1976, adding, "And that's what constitutes a threat for humanity."
Muyembe's statement comes on the heels of a patient being infected by a pathogen that has not yet been identified but had symptoms similar to Ebola.
In a remote town in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), last month a woman showed early signs of hemorrhagic fever. Her samples were tested for Ebola and other diseases with similar symptoms.
All came back negative making the disease which affected the woman a mystery.
Scientists speculated if she could be the patient zero of "Disease X" the first known infection of a new pathogen that, researchers say could be more contagious than the Covid-19 and with Ebola's 50 per cent to 90 per cent fatality rate.
In 2018, the World Health Organisation (WHO) published its global plan for accelerating research and development during health emergencies and also included "Disease X" in its '2018 R&D Blueprint'.
The 2018 R&D Blueprint prioritized nine diseases for R&D which consists of Covid-19, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus disease, Lassa fever, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Nipah and henipaviral disease, Rift Valley fever, Zika and the latest addition "Disease X".
All these diseases lack an effective drug or vaccine.
"X" stands for unexpected, explained Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
WHO said that it "represents the knowledge that a serious international epidemic could be caused by a pathogen currently unknown to cause human disease."
As of now, Disease X remains hypothetical, an outbreak that scientists and public health experts fear could lead to serious disease around the world if and when it occurs.
Speaking to CNN, Muyembe warned of many more zoonotic diseases -- those that jump from animals to humans -- to come.
Zoonotic diseases like yellow fever, rabies, brucellosis and Lyme disease spread from animals to human beings and have caused epidemics and pandemics before. While the deadly HIV emerged from a type of Chimpanzee and then mutated into a fatal disease, SARS-CoV-2, along with SARS, and MERS are all coronaviruses that have suddenly jumped from animals to humans.

It's still full speed ahead for Foyt
Over the course of a 40-year racing career, A.J. Foyt has never had his Houston home far from his heart. While the majority of his fellow IndyCar team owners have built facilities in the Midwest near Indianapolis, the capital of the sport, the shop housing A.J. Foyt Racing is clearly visible off U.S. 290 in Waller.
But while Foyt always has been proud of his Texas roots, local fans had little opportunity during his career to watch in person as Super Tex did what he did best – drive a race car to its limits and beyond. Other than a handful of races in the 1970s at Texas World Speedway in College Station, where he won five times, Foyt usually plied his trade far from home.
This weekend's Grand Prix of Houston at Reliant Park marks the first time Foyt has competed in Houston as a car owner. The 78-year-old legend – the all-time leader in open-wheel victories with 67 and the first four-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 – last competed in Houston in 1970 when he won a midget-car race held at the Astrodome.
IndyCar Series roars back into town
It's been six years since the exotic IndyCars blasted around a temporary racetrack set up at Reliant Park, so here's a primer to get you up to speed for the Grand Prix of Houston event happening Friday-Sunday.
What is the Grand Prix of Houston?
Presented by title sponsors Shell and Pennzoil, along with the Greater Houston Honda Dealers, the "Three-Day Festival of Speed" includes two separate 90-lap races contested Saturday and Sunday on the 1.7-mile, 10-turn course, plus several smaller races featuring a variety of classes, in addition to a host of off-track attractions. It is the same course used for the 2006 and 2007 Houston races, both won by French driver Sebastien Bourdais. The winner of each race will be awarded the A.J. Foyt Trophy.
What's an IndyCar?
The turbocharged V6-powered "open-wheel" racers are called IndyCars because they are the vehicles that compete each May at the legendary Indianapolis 500. Each power plant has a 12,000 rpm redline, runs on E85 ethanol fuel (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline) and produces around 550 to 700 horsepower. The engine is mated to a six-speed transmission that features no clutch and is controlled by paddles on the steering wheel. Teams spend about $650,000 per season per car to lease the engines from suppliers Honda and Chevrolet.
IndyCar's balance of power takes sharp turn
A common complaint voiced by non-motorsports fans is, "It's just a bunch of cars turning left every race." But when it comes to the IZOD IndyCar series, that statement couldn't be further from the truth.
With races held on superspeedway ovals (at least 2.5 miles in length), intermediate ovals (1 to 2 miles), permanent road courses and temporary street courses (like the one at Reliant Park, the site of this weekend's Grand Prix of Houston), drivers and teams must display a versatility that's unmatched in any major series.
But while the racing surfaces are varied, the competitive balance in the series during the past several years has been concentrated in the garages of powerful, multi-car super teams such as Target Chip Ganassi Racing and Team Penske and, to a lesser extent, Andretti Autosport. Since the merger of ChampCar and the Indy Racing League in 2008 that ended the 12-year battle for control of open wheel racing, entering the 2013 season, drivers with Penske and Ganassi teams have combined to win 58 of the 83 races held (69.8 percent), with Andretti claiming 12 victories. | https://blog.chron.com/sportsupdate/2013/10/get-up-to-speed-2013-grand-prix-of-houston/ | 2018/02/25 10:25:05 | mC4 |
