A very unusual thing is happening in Leeds tomorrow. 99 council seats are being voted upon in the 33 wards around Leeds. In a constitutional quirk every single councillor is being elected in one go and so there is every likelihood that Leeds City Council will look very different on Friday morning.
Councillors are volunteers who play a leadership role in their community, both catching the vision for the city and sharing it in their neighbourhood, and also taking the neighbourhood's vision to the City. A councillor represents their ward and gives a voice to the citizens. They have to make knife-edge decisions about where scarce resources are applied, seeking to protect the vulnerable whilst serving the whole community. And they vote on the changing laws and regulations of the city, being led by their values, hopefully good ones!
So we should do two things:
Firstly; pray for them, Here's a useful link if you want to know more. And then pray particularly for the three in your ward and the three in the Headingley Ward. Pray that God's kingdom will come amidst the discussions and decisions and that we will see more glimpses of heaven in Leeds! You could use the graphic above to pray into their role.
Secondly; vote. If you haven't already cast your postal vote then I urge you to take the time to wander down to your local polling station and place your three crosses on the ballot.
Another big event over the next few days. Watch out for road closures although the bicycles don't get to Leeds until the afternoon so it won't affect us on Sunday morning.
Our young people are off to DtI (Dreaming the Impossible) with 1,000 other young people from around the movement. Liz Harden and her team are thankful for a warming weather forecast but need our prayers and best wishes as they look after the youth in their care. Every year we see God at work in mighty ways amongst the young people and we look forward to hearing all about it in the following weeks.
On Sunday June 24 we are looking forward to baptising some folk in the River Wharfe in Ilkley. Book a sunny day out in your diary and let those around you know so that if anyone else would like to be baptised they can take this opportunity. It's a great celebration and a fun way to have a picnic together.
It is without doubt a Good Thing to serve people refreshments on a Sunday morning but we do end up using quite a lot of paper cups which are difficult to recycle. So if you have a favourite travel mug you could bring that with you (empty) on a Sunday and we'll gladly pour in some delicious beverage!
Over the 18-20 May, many of the current leaders will be away at Ampleforth Abbey for the weekend we take out every couple of years. This year our guest speakers are Tom & Helen Murphy from Derwent Valley Vineyard.
Until this year Tom and Helen were Associate Pastors to John & Debby Wright and bring a wealth of experience and expertise to us from their time at Trent Vineyard. Helen was, for many years, the leader of the Arches, a quite incredible compassion ministry. We've asked them to help us prepare for the future as we take on Vineyard House – how can we wisely invest our time and labour to make the most difference for God's kingdom?
Speaking of Vineyard House, we are hard at work behind the scenes negotiating the final parts of the contract. It's been a long wait but we are getting nearer and nearer to exchange of contracts all the time. Keep praying that God's promises to us will be fulfilled.
So we are well into our theme for the year of Prayer. What have you learnt so far? We have spent a month thinking about Waiting – and most of us are realising that waiting is easy to say, much harder to do. It's in the waiting that so much happens. We hear, we receive and we change - less as a consequence of answered prayer; and more during the waiting in prayer.
We've thought about what prayer is: a response; emotional; turns theology into experience; you are your prayer life. We learnt about being watchmen and setting a guard and the two dynamics of the gardener's prayer (protection and abundance). We're going to look at some practical aspects to prayer in the next few weeks and then return to the theme in June/July with a series on the Lord's Prayer. There are podcasts, resources, video links, book recommendations here.
Elaine shared this with me recently about how prayer is changing for her, "My impatience is leaving me. There is more time in my day, as I am slowed down by Jesus. I want to pray, and I have always craved that time to be completely alone with God, but always feel I have to go away to be by myself to do that. Now I just close my eyes wherever I am and He is there."
I think the Lord has spoken through these weeks and has made it very clear that we are to be, first and foremost, a people of prayer. We are a people of action, yes indeed, Vineyard House is testament to that, but activity has to be preceded by prayer. There is kingdom power in activity that emanates from prayer and as we wait in prayer we become aware of our inadequacy and of his supremacy. He can do supernatural things through a prayerful people.
Here is an illustration of what happens when we pray. Alice, one of our wonderful students, is training to be a social worker. She was sitting in on an early intervention meeting on a complex family law case. Here she describes what was said about the Child Contact Centre:
"I was in a room full of different professionals, all of whom recognise the Vine (as our Child Contact Centre is known) as a service they can and do use….. The contact centre is having a massive and far reaching impact on families and the work you are doing is being recognised by a range of professionals from school teachers, family outreach workers and the CAMS team. In big multi-agency meetings the Vine is being brought up in conversation as a possible intervention and being spoken very highly of.
"I asked my supervisor afterwards if she had used The Vine before. She gave a glowing report. She said that: the contact she had with Elaine from the referral process; the setting up of contact; and then the feedback she got from the parents and children afterwards was brilliant. She said that the contact centre is a really valuable service that is needed because that contact between the parents and children is so valuable and there are not enough places that offer it. She spoke of it being a real lifeline for some of the families she works with.
"I found it so exciting to be in this placement setting and to hear that professionals are turning to the Vine as an intervention to support families and to know that it is being run by the local Church."
We are about to enter Phase 2 and are ready to appoint a Project Manager for the renovations and/or fund raising. You'll find the job advert on our website in the staff section. Please spread the word and prayer that the right person or people read it and get in touch.
We are already looking forward to our next baptisms – this time on Sunday 24 June. It's one of our favourite days of the year! If you have not yet been baptised and would like to be please talk with your small group leader or one of the pastoral staff. Two people have signe up already!
All current leaders should have received an invitation to the Weekend over 18-20 May. This year we are heading for the wonderfully peaceful and prayerful surroundings of Ampleforth Abbey. We have a real treat waiting for us because our guest speakers are Tom and Helen Murphy who were, up until the end of last year, John and Debby Wright's associates at Trent Vineyard but who have now planted the Derwent Valley Vineyard. Places are limited so please book up soon (via Church Suite).
If you would like to join in with a Leeds-wide prayer event please put Sunday evening 20 May at 6.30pm at Bridge Community Church.
By prophecy I mean that God speaks to us through others. Prophecy is one of the gifts of the Spirit and I would encourage you all to grow in receiving it. Sometimes it includes or sounds like scripture. Sometimes it is addressed to all of us, at other times to individuals. Prophecy is part of a mature prayer life.
A few weeks ago John received these words and graciously shared them. I think they bear repeating: "I did not make a mistake when you were born (in fact I knew you as you grew in your mother's womb). Your Nationality is not a mistake (I love the country of your birth). I did not make a mistake putting you into the family you were born into (In fact I placed you in family). Your name is not a mistake. I did not make a mistake giving you the personality you have. Your passions and dreams are not wrong. Embrace these things they make you who you are. You are a Royal Priesthood, A Holy Nation, set apart and belonging to me."

Dear Leeds Vineyard
It's been a while so a little more to share with you than usual:
I have a splendid picture in my mind. As you may know both my parents died in the last few months and then this week we learnt that Billy Graham too had been "promoted to glory". In my mind's eye I can imagine my father and my mother sitting in a garden with a cup of Yorkshire Tea and Mr Kipling Cake chatting with Billy Graham and C.S.Lewis. I know that my father would have been one of millions who want to tell Billy and C.S.Lewis how significant they had been in the early years of his life. But it is heaven and somehow they all have time to chat and drink tea together! Can't wait:-)
In the meantime we have work to do here and whatever else God has for you to do I know that it will include prayer. This month is time which we have allocated particularly to prayer and to fasting. Many of us have been using Andrew Murray's "Waiting on God" to focus our devotions and to mature our prayer life. Many of you have been fasting too. How is it all going?
In the next week our prayer culminates with a planned time of prayer together. There are three ways to join in this week:
You can sign up on Sunday morning or on line – here.
This Sunday (25 February 2018) Nigel and Susan Hyde are our guests. They have an amazing track record in mission work particularly in Sierra Leone. You'll be inspired as Nigel shares about his faith and work with Home Leone. If you would like to talk with them after the service please stay on for discussion over a lunch of pizza.
The wheels are turning, be they turning oh so slowly! Our solicitor is doing final searches and contract checks. Thanks to the generous giving of the people of the Vineyard we have also been able to submit a pragmatic mortgage application. Please pray that these last few very important steps result in us being able to exchange contracts in March with an expected completion date toward the end of August.
In January Bethanie shared an amazing vision for one of the ministries we may be able to run out of Vineyard House as part of the Hungry Rock, you can read about it here. We'll be sharing the vision for part of the Community Rock on Mothering Sunday.
If you would like to give to STEPS for Vineyard House you can find out how to do so here.
Easter comes early this year. Maundy Thursday is 29 March! If you would like to join in with a Passover there will be several run by various groups. If you would like your group to do a Passover service there are resources available to show you how and Tania can explain what to do!
On Good Friday we will have our traditional frolic across Ilkley Moor with eggs and fresh air in abundance. If you prefer something more demure then you may wish to join the Headingley Churches Together Walk of Witness which starts at Headingley Methodist Church at 10.30am for the opening hymn and short reflection, then you walk round to the Rose Garden (outside the Arc), ready to start the main event at about 10.50am, after which coffee and Hot Cross Buns will be served at Headingley Methodist church hall. If you'd like to help with the music please let me know.
Our Easter service is always a good time to extend an invitation to your friends and family (who has the Holy Spirit put on your heart to pray for?). Our theme will be "Just Imagine".
A whole bunch of us went to the National Leaders' Conference at the end of January. What a great time we had with some inspirational teaching and worship and opportunities galore to get to know our brothers and sisters from around the Vineyard. I'd recommend investing some time in listening to the podcasts – particularly Pastor Agu Irukwu speaking about Prayer (the talk is titled "Interceding for the Nations").
This might be a teeny weeny bit boring but it is very very important! GDPR stands for General Data Protection Register and it represents a whole wodge of legislation that means: (1) organisations will find it harder to use and abuse your data; and (2) we (at church) have to jump through some significant hoops to ensure that our record-keeping is lawful. So please respond promptly to any requests you get from our office to change your preferences or amend your personal information.
If anyone happens to have a second (or third) car which they don't need for a few weeks Ralph is in need of one to borrow. Let me know if you can help.
Alison and I have had a difficult few months and we are grateful to everyone for your prayers and support – it has been a very real solace during a harrowing time. Our bereavement is now a fact, I am getting used to being an orphan, but as you know grief has many phases and stages to negotiate and we are only just starting that particular trek.
One thing I have learnt so far is the importance of praying for those closest and dearest to us. Don't wait until a crisis emerges but pray for them now, take them to Jesus, say thank you, present your petition and leave them with Him. The other thing I have learnt, or rather, experienced, is that grief affects your memory. I've been embarrassed several times having forgotten things which I would never normally lose from memory.
Although I read the Waiting on God book last year as I prepared for our Prayer theme this year I have been really glad to have it to read again this last month – it has been a real help to spending time with the Lord when other things don't seem to be working very well. I have also loved listening to Samuel Lane's new worship album, The Difference. He really is one of my favourite song-writers and worship leaders. It's also got a brilliant CD cover.
Finally, I am glad to say that in the last month Alison and I have felt much better, emerging from a run-down sort of place with more energy and lightness of spirit. Thanks again for your prayers.
I love this church! It's Christmas and most have us have got a lot on. Another whole bunch of us have gone down with a cold. Some have a got a lot on and have gone down with a cold. And yet, somehow, enough of you all pull together to turn an old, dark building into a welcoming, celebratory, family, Jesus-centred purlieu (my current favourite new word: "environs or neighbourhood where one may range at large").
Judy Hardy's extraordinary animal noises, the enthusiastic entry into the prayer tunnel and the hubbub over lunch were some of my highlights from the Christmas Service. I loved the Joy To The World arrangement in the evening, along with Frank's Christmas jumper, the shredding response and Greggs' mince pies.
A guest or visitor (of whom there were many - thank you for making your invitations) would have found it hard not to be struck by the genuine friendliness and care you have for one another and by the conviction that you have that there really is Truth to be heard and embraced. And we, "the regulars", simply had a great time celebrating God's favour – even if there was quite a bit of hard work involved. A Moslem lady came up to me at the end of the Carol Service, "are you, like, the Imam?" marvelling that it wasn't just words but that people were different here.
So thankyou. If you would like to use your gifts or just your energy and availability for next year's Christmas services please let Anne know straightaway: it could be for general help or lighting, ambience, food, music, welcome, content, technology …. We will need lots of people again!
On Christmas Eve we had weekly worship and communion as usual and one of the highlights there was hearing Andy Poole's testimony – I recommend that you download it to read or listen to when it gets posted in the next week or so, it is so encouraging. Christmas Day was a lot of fun too. Perhaps too much chocolate, although I have heard it argued that there can never be too much chocolate. Quite a lot of guests but also several church families having a party and worshipping together.
One of my highlights for our gathering together over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day was an opportunity to witness and follow up a healing. Jenny Button (that scion of the Button family were in our church some years ago) was visiting with her family. On Christmas Eve she responded to a word of knowledge, came forward with many others and then on Christmas Day, during our Rapid-Fire thankyou's, gave thanks for her healing. Jenny is a doctor and her story is worth reading – it's at the end of this article.
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day
I'll be finishing off our series on God's Favour this coming Sunday as we grab onto His promise that "now is the time of His favour" (2 Corinthians 6:1-2). And then on New Year's Day you are invited, if you are able, to join us in our traditional walk on Ilkley Moor (don't forget to ring the Cow and Calf Pub if you would like to eat there – you'll need to book).
Vineyard House
If 2017 was the year for STEPS in which we gave financially and sacrificially in order to gather the funds so as to be able to buy the "pearl of great price", 2018 is going to be the year of Vineyard House in which we actual buy it and start to clean it up and prepare it for ministry. We had originally planned to exchange contracts around about now but that has been put back a few weeks as we work our way through the legal and financial processes. We are not there yet, but we will get there. I'd love you to keep praying and to keep giving when you are prompted by the Lord to do so.
Liz Harden found a great video of what the community of Horsforth are doing to look after their purlieu (that word again). It's on Facebook here, see if it gives you some ideas of what God may want us to do through Vineyard House.
The Flowers Family
Alison has had a serious bout of flu over the last few weeks (and is still not fully recovered) which is why you may not have seen her around much.
I'm fine, health-wise, but since my mother's funeral in November our family has been pre-occupied by caring for Michael, my father. You may have seen him on the occasional Sunday when he has been able to visit and will have noted that he is not doing very well. His cancer is aggressive and he has some other chronic illnesses. He is processing the loss of his wife (we would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last week) and his mental faculties are ebbing away.
We have admitted Michael to a Residential Care home nearby which helps but is very draining on us all. Many of you have been through this process and know what I mean. We are grateful for your prayers and support. It looks like the next few weeks/months are going to be difficult so please bear with us. The staff and leadership team at the Vineyard are stepping in and doing a great job of covering for Alison and me. We are very grateful for our church family at these times.
We are looking forward to 2018. Like most years it will contain great joys and some sadnesses, we'll experience successes and failures. But I believe that, as a church, we will be entering onto an important, long-term, and fruitful new phase as we take ownership of Vineyard House. The Lord will grant us His favour this year as we obediently step out in faith and expectancy.
May His favour rest on you and yours and bring you peace.
Jenny's story
When I was a teenager I hurt my back ice skating- I think I fractured a vertebrae but I don't exactly recall the details as the fracture was missed in the initial assessment of the x rays and my parents received a call afterwards. Anyway, I have had a slightly curved spine and back pain since then. It's been worse recently and has more significantly interfered with day to day life. I have prayed about it and had prayer for it in the past. Going up for prayer last week wasn't something I would have done but when someone had a word of knowledge about back pain it encouraged me. Having someone pray when your own faith for that healing is at a low ebb is really special too.
I felt a massive release, the ligaments in my back clicked a lot as I was prayed for. Since then I have felt a massive improvement in terms of reduced lower back pain/numbness/tingling in my right leg. It's a 95% improvement!
I also felt that this physical healing was connected to a deeper spiritual healing associated with depending on God for spiritual strength rather than going solo a lot of the time. On both physical and spiritual fronts this encounter with God was very special. I feel inspired to pray for that last 5% of healing so joining me in praying for that would be amazing - thank you!
29 December 2017
David Flowers, 29/12/2017
A young girl called Mary who lives in a strict and conservative society has an angel tell her that she is about to find herself somewhat compromised – her reputation and upcoming marriage are about to get trashed by a mysterious miracle pregnancy. Her reaction? She humbles herself before God saying, "May it be done to me according to Your will" and then she is able to say, "The Lord has done this for me, He has shown me His favour and taken away my disgrace". You can read all about it in Luke 1.
Nine months later, to the shepherds of all people, the mighty angels made the declaration, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom His favour rests." You'll find this in Luke 2.
That word, favour, strikes me. It means showing goodwill towards, the giving of unmerited honour, inclining towards. It is often accompanied by gifts. And in these stories favour is directed toward the disgraced and the lowly – not toward the well off, successful or beautiful.
We're used to bracing ourselves to be laughed at, told off, spurned or rejected - on account of our looks or age or awkwardness or intellect or ethnicity or weakness. It's startlingly different when we approach the God of the universe. He offers favour. Awesome. This is our theme for the Christmas season in 2017: favour.
Please pray for and invite your friends and neighbours to celebrate Christmas and to hear a wonderful story of grace and favour, a story which transforms lives!
What's happening over Christmas?
Christmas is about giving not just receiving – but some people don't receive much so if you would like to give something extra do join with us in supporting either the Child Contact Centre or in compiling your own reverse advent hamper for Leeds Foodbank. Full details here.
If you are leading a group or an area of ministry at Leeds Vineyard I would very much like you to join us on Tuesday evening, if you possibly can, for a special meeting at which we'll catch up about Vineyard House. If you haven't received an invitation please contact the office for details.
The churches in Headingley are joining together to sing carols at the Arndale Centre on Saturday 9 December, 11.00am – 12.00pmish. Headingley Methodist's Coffee Morning and Christmas Fair will be on across the road from 10.00am – 12.15pm (I'm told the cake is great!). All welcome to join in.
Leeds Vineyard has been approved for the "More Than A Book" programme with the Bible Society (www.biblesociety.org.uk). Our unique church reference number is: 12154. If you buy your books this way, the church earns a cashback. Nice.
As you may know, we gave thanks for my Mum's life a few weeks ago. The day went well and we felt very supported by the prayers of the saints. Thankyou. As you may also know my Dad is rather ill too. Alison and I continue to be quite involved in his ongoing care and this takes its toll. Many of you will have experienced a similar strain and transition in your lives as you have lost loved ones, so you'll understand. Bear with us.
May you know the favour of the King!
As you may know my mother died last week and on Friday we have her Thanksgiving Service. Sally Wallace, very kindly, has offered to write the blog this week. Alison and I are very grateful for her reflections. Here they are:
We give thanks this week for the life of June Flowers, David's mother. Her service of remembrance and thanksgiving is this Friday 10th November, 1pm Moortown Baptist Church. At this time also Michael, David's father, has cancer, is on strong medication and is very frail.
As a church it is an important time to pray for our leaders David and Alison. In the book of Hebrews we are encouraged to 'remember our leaders' (13:7) and to pray for them (13:18). We are encouraged to consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. David and Alison are our leaders, but also this week we give thanks for June and Michael who were leaders in various churches in Leeds and led the holiday at Ashburnham for many years.
Over the past few weeks many have been sharing the influence that June and Michael had on their lives on a Facebook group. It has been incredible to read story after story of a couple faithfully serving Jesus and reflecting him in their lives. It was wonderful that David and the family were able to share some of those memories with his mother in her last days and weeks. Many people have been encouraged and challenged reading the stories. If you are getting this email, you can request access to the group and read more.
June and Michael Flowers served in Bangladesh as missionaries for over 10 years when their family of 5 children were small, returning to Leeds when David, the eldest, was 11 years old. His father became a consultant surgeon in the A&E department at Leeds General Infirmary, and his mother June taught RE for a number of years at Allerton High school. They lived in Far Headingley and then in a house opposite the Moortown Baptist Church where they helped as leaders and June was a pastoral worker. Michael and June went to some of the first UK conferences led by John Wimber, the founder of the Vineyard. They then led many into an openness to the Holy Spirit and worship.
Michael and June led a church youth group and took them to Ashburnham for holidays, starting what is still the biannual holiday that many at Leeds Vineyard continue to go to. Many of those original 'youth group' still come to the Ashburnham holiday now with their children, friends and churches of their own. Michael and June led church plants from Moortown Baptist called Street Lane Fellowship and then Chapel Allerton Baptist church. They continued to support work in Bangladesh organising trips for others to see the work they remained involved in. Many of us at Leeds Vineyard have known June and Michael over their time in Leeds.
It feels to me like Michael and June are part of the great cloud of witnesses mentioned in Hebrews 12v1 that are exhorting us to throw off everything that hinders and to run with perseverance the race marked out for us. They had many talents, but they used them well, and hearing the testimony I have been giving thanks for their influence but have also been challenged to use my talents well. It is not so much about how much I have been given, or whether it is the same as their gifting, but that I honour God by using the gifts he has given me.
Why not spend some time this week giving thanks for June and Michael and praying for David and Alison and their family?
Sally Wallace, 08/11/2017
I've just returned from a great lunchtime meeting with the vicars/ministers of several churches from across Leeds. We were talking about what God is calling each church to do over the next few years and you'd have loved: the hope of; expectation of; and commitment to seeing Leeds radically reached for Jesus in the coming times. Leeds in particular and Yorkshire in general has a very low proportion of people who are committed to their local church (which is a way of measuring commitment and faith levels) and so we all agreed that there is much to do and we prayed for each other and our churches.
I shared about how God had revealed the pearl of great price in "Vineyard House" and how we are in the process of "selling all we have" so as to be able to buy it (Matthew 13:45-46). They were very excited about this and what it will mean for Headingley and for Leeds. We have a whole bunch of church leaders rooting for us and praying for us. Isn't that just great?!
We're nearing the point at which we take stock of what has been pledged and given to Vineyard House and at which we decide how we are going to proceed. Whilst we have a few days left, we don't yet have the full amount for which we are praying and hoping. If you have not yet sent in your gift or pledge please could I urge you to do it as a matter of urgency so that we can make a really good decision.
We've had good conversation with Stewardship who are an amazing lender into projects like ours and we have significant interest from Social Impact investors who would love to see some of our projects come to fruition. However, the foundation for STEPS 2017 is the family of Leeds Vineyard and I would love our giving and our sacrifice to be the core finance for this million-pound miracle!
Here's the link to find out more – or just go to www.give.net/wharfedalevineyard and click on "STEPS2017".
Vineyard House Rocks
We've recently heard something about the Sunday Rock, the Prayer Rock and the Young Rock. There is also good stuff emerging within the Hungry Rock and the Community Rock – which we'll share more about when can. In the meantime, the next Rock that is taking shape is the Equipping Rock – so look out for some stories about that on Sunday. Follow the latest news on the website at: Phil's Blog
Something that I can see becoming part of the Community Rock is the Headingley Children's Choir being started by Zoe Lewis. The first "sing" is this Sunday after church. It's for school years 4-6, and is for the children of the Vineyard and their friends and our local community. If you have children in the right age group anywhere near you, please sign them up (with their permission!) asap. Parents may need a bit of help: with other children; providing snacks; transport etc. More information from Zoe and Liz (you can contact them through Church Suite ("search for others").
I'd love to see them sing at our Christmas Service on 17 December. Can you imagine a big group of children, some our own, some their friends and some from the homes around the church, singing together in front of a packed church? Wouldn't that be a treat and a testimony?
There's so much to share with you after the summer break but I'll try to keep it short and divide it into three of our priorities: Ministry; Equipping and Fellowship.
Whilst the Child Contact Centre continues to do amazing and crucial work (Elaine is looking to recruit a deputy manager) our current focus is on preparing for Vineyard House. We have seven "rocks" and last Sunday we were inspired as we were given a glimpse into what three of them might mean: Prayer Rock, Sunday Rock and Young Rock. We'll be looking at the other rocks in the coming weeks. You can read and hear more about them or follow Phil's Blog on the STEPS 2017 page of the website.
As we explained on Sunday, we've made great progress toward our immediate goal of buying Vineyard House – but we're not there yet. We've got a real test ahead of us, not least raising the rest of the money we need to buy the building. I think we should plan to raise at least another £100,000 (on top of the £280,000 already pledged).
Please play your part, however, small or large that may be. We would be grateful to receive your pledges by the 20 October. We don't necessarily need the actual gift straightaway – probably nearer the end of the year. It maybe that you would like to make a gift next year or over several months. That too would help us to buy the building.
Most of all we need to pray. I shared one of my favourite scriptures on Sunday: Nehemiah 4:9, when faced with a great challenge their response was, "We prayed to our God and we posted a guard". We do what needs to be done, give what needs to be given, but we also pray.
One of my deep desires is that Leeds Vineyard does really good theology! I'd love you to learn more about the bible and what we believe. To that end I've invited Daniel McGinnis to come and speak next Sunday. I think you'll very much enjoy hearing him speak on "What Makes Good Theology". If you're a preacher or would like to teach or if you are just interested in theology, you're invited to stay behind after service to chew it over (and some pizza) with Daniel. He will tell us about the Leeds School of Theology (which Daniel leads - their open day is 14 October) which runs January to November on Saturdays. If you would like to sign up for that we will be glad to subsidise some of the fees.
If you prefer to learn on-line I would recommend having a look at Vineyard Institute. This is being updated and improved continually and is great for being able to pick certain modules and study at home in your own time.
We also invest in equipping people in ministry skills, particularly if you would like to explore leadership in the church or in mission. One of our small groups is the Servant Leadership School run by Matt and Anne from September to June. At a national level we commend the Hub (in fact this is a prerequisite for church planting or employment on pastoral staff of a Vineyard church). Our Hub is hosted by Ian and Hannah at their home in Eccleshill, Bradford and the next entry is in January.
In November there will be two opportunities to learn about Coaching. Tom Camacho is the lead trainer for Coaching in Vineyard USA and he will be spending Monday evening 6 November with us (you can book here). He will also be running a full day "Intensive" (part of the Hub programme) in Birmingham on 11 November (you can book here).
Finally, Cause to Live For, a gathering for young adults from around the Vineyard, is on Friday/Saturday 17-18 November in Nottingham (book here).
It's an unfashionable word, fellowship, but it's shorthand for placing value on building relaxed, safe, relationships – becoming family as we spend time together and do life together and where Jesus is at the centre. We minister to one another, grow and change together. We know and are known.
Sundays are really important, in fact they are essential in our celebration of faith together, but we get to the heart of the church in the small groups. This is the strength of the church.
Sometimes people who live busy lives say to me that they simply have too much on to commit to a weekly/fortnightly small group. That rings warning bells to me – the busier you are, the harder you work, the more responsibilities you have – the more you need to be in a small group. It's a bit like saying that you've got to drive down to London on the M1 and you haven't got time to stop to fill the tank. The consequences are obvious! So, join a group (and if you've done the Exploring ones, please join a Growth Group (as well as an Activity group!).
I hope you have had a good summer and managed to catch some decent weather! Many of us had an outstanding time at Ashburnham and I have heard good things from others of you about holidays and conferences all over the place. It has been great to welcome many new people to the church (if you're a regular please be on the lookout for people you don't recognise and say hullo – it's hard turning up at a new place when you don't know people).
A couple of weekends ago Alison and I enjoyed praying for El and Ed as they got married in Sheffield (Rosie was one of her bridesmaids) and then we ministered at Sheffield Vineyard on the Sunday. We're glad to report that it is a proper Vineyard! There was a real buzz there and the Holy Spirit is at work amongst them. We are reminded that we sent out Harrogate and Sheffield just over five years ago – how time flies!
So there's lots happening. Leeds Vineyard is healthy and we have much to do (ministry & equipping) but it is important to be (fellowship & worship & prayer). Most of all though I would ask you to pray for the church and particularly for Vineyard House as we obey the Lord's summons to "buy this precious pearl".

Excellent experience buying our new car from the house of cars. We needed a bigger car and got exactly what we wanted. Arranged p/x price etc... over the phone, travelled down from Manchester the following day and done the deal. Really pleased with the service we received and the quality of car we purchased. Well worth the journey down, would highly recommend.
Excellent service very happy with car

House of Cars Nottingham
By Frank R on 23 November 2016 | Verified purchase
Found this dealer through Autotrader. They had the car I wanted at a far cheaper price than any dealer in the North West of England and after a 10 minute conversation I had negotiated the part exchange of my car and bought the new car with a £250 deposit. The sales rep Mark was courteous and professional and he agreed to remove the car from sale immediately and hold it for me until I could travel from Manchester to Nottingham three days later. When I arrived at the dealership the car was waiting for me on the forecourt in pristine condition and it even had AMG mats thrown in ! The administrative arrangements took a mere half hour and Mark even registered the car in my name electronically with the DVLA as I waited. I also used their Broadband to insure the car and he directed me to a nearby Post Office to tax the car. All in all the most seamless car buying experience I have ever had and I would recommend the House of Cars to any car buyer.
Excellent experience
By Neil K on 23 November 2016 | Verified purchase
My first experience of dealing with the House of Cars has been excellent. Professional from start to finish, no pressure and hassle free. The car was as described and in fantastic condition. I travelled over 300 miles for the vehicle, so the honest and detailed description given in the advert and from phone conversations, should rightly give other long distance prospective buyers the utmost confidence. Would highly recommend.
Very professional and easy to deal with.
By Paul D on 23 November 2016 | Verified purchase
Really professional, gave me all the information I asked about the car. Fair trade in price given. Showed me all the service history documents and allowed me the time to look through it all. No pressure either.Very good service. They posted me a badge that they had ordered which enabled me to take the car the same day.
By Amy P on 23 November 2016 | Verified purchase
Totally in LOVE with my new Audi TT!! House of Cars delivered an outstanding service!! I made it a big hard decision buying this fancy car but Chris made everything so easy, no pressure, hassle free and so QUICK!! I signed the dotted line and the car was on my drive the next day!! Perfect Car.. Perfect Service..100% recommend the boys and will definitely use again in the future!!
Another brilliant experience!!
By Claire R on 17 November 2016 | Verified purchase
As return customers for the past 4 years, my partner and I cannot fault this dealership. From the minute you choose your car the service is first class and so is the aftercare. Chris keeps you informed every step of the way right up to the point of picking up your vehicle. We always recommend this dealership to family, friends and colleagues, and we will be returning again when we are ready for another new car, we wouldn't go anywhere else now. Absolutely fantastic!!
Honest no pressure.

I feel as though this hair must be documented. Have you ever seen anything so out of control? It literally just stands on top of her head. I could wet it all down and comb it over and it would still dry in a big poof on top of her head. And for the record...since I am documenting, I think it is absolutely adorable. I wouldn't change a single thing about you Little La La Girl! Crazy hair and all.

And healthy relationships, I have been able to keep my inner demon under control, but I bear the scars of what ts dating australia I have to struggle with inside of me every day. Favorite skin exfoliating scrub in the shower or tub so it will be handy to use ts dating australia everyday on your feet. It felt good knowing that helping kids still came easy for. "Futurama" gives the Evil Beard character device a right proper tweaking.
Gaining attention with our successful 9-1 season from the city, something that never happened. The only notable, consistent relationships in my life. Our little town, where you can go to the town fair, skate, surf, cruise, bike, hike, horseback ride, ride a steam train (okay you can do that just outside city limits, just a short walk away), see vintage cars on the road, see old buildings and even watch a free russian girl sexy movie under the stars at the front lawn of the city hall on certain clear nights.
It just happened to be this friend was a professional Dominatrix. Can often find one for a dollar or less and it likely has designs already. With Photoshop, our definition of beauty is heavily distorted.
That ts dating australia was when I decided to define my version of telecommuting. That handled their business had many issues, ts dating australia mainly the inability to keep track of inventory. It's just hysterical when you see that person with a drawn-on mustache. Credited if you miss paying within the grace ts dating australia period after you used your card. Menu photos in the IKEA lobby always remind me that if I'm organized and take care of myself, my experience will be great. Sleeping well, and ts dating australia relaxing can relieve some of the physical effects. Collecting beer steins hasn't become an Olympic sport yet. Years old, I don't need the latest jewelry, but I do need a watch -- though I refuse to buy one until the faces of the watches reduce in size.

Listen or subscribe here. Movie Review: Frankenweenie By Jim Erickson • Oct 25, 2012 Frankenweenie had several strikes against it before it even came on, so I consulted with no less than eight people about it after it ended, and must report that nobody, including me, rated it at less than three stars out of a possible four, with half giving it a maximum four. I don't like Tim Burton's stop-motion puppets because they are either spherical heads with tiny pyramidal noses or grotesque but too traditional caricatures. But you have to credit Frankenweenie with effective emotional expression whenever emotional expression is attempted. But only the caricature Movie Review: Argo By Jim Erickson • Oct 18, 2012 Time magazine says Ben Affleck wants to make "serious movies for serious people," by which, if we can judge by 2010's The Town and this year's Argo, he means movies of the old genre type, especially semi-documentaries and films noir, featuring straightforward storytelling without a lot of emphasis on internal action and flashbacks, clear and relatively simple plot lines but a lot of suspense, characters that do not need a lot of introspection but do behave in understandable ways for understandable reasons, and in general a clear resemblance to the world we live i Movie Review: Looper By Jim Erickson • Oct 4, 2012 Maybe I'm just getting acclimated to current movies, or maybe I'm just tired of griping about movies that don't make consistent sense, but Looper seemed to me to hold together as well as you expect a time travel movie to hold together. A lot of the mysterious elements appear at the beginning and the explanations tend to appear a lot later and I'm not sure all the initial elements are covered or that all the explanations hold. But I wasn't frustrated or otherwise unhappy as to Looper making sense. Movie Review: The Master By Jim Erickson • Sep 27, 2012 The Master is this year's Tree of Life, the movie critics rave about in spite of the fact that David Thomson in The New Republic says, "I have the gravest doubts as to whether it is about anything," Lisa Schwartzbaum calls it "enigmatic," and Cary Darling in the Eagle describes it as "easy to admire but harder to love." I beg to be excused from either activity. Movie Review: Arbitrage By Jim Erickson • Sep 20, 2012 The great thing about Arbitrage is that writer-director Nicholas Jarecki never gives in to what must have been a temptation to surrender his theme to Hollywood melodrama. Arbitrage begins and ends as a story of how one moral failure leads to another one and how one person's weakness involves other people, one man's guilt makes other people act guiltily, too, without going beyond what ordinary people with understandable motives might do, under the circumstances. Movie Review: The Cold Light of Day By Jim Erickson • Sep 13, 2012 The Cold Light of Day is just a plateful of same-old same-old. Don't expect anything better just because Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver are in it, because they are strictly support players and must have fallen on bad days to be in such warmed over mashed potatoes as this. One would think they would have had enough clout to insist on at least colorful character roles. Movie Review: Lawless By Jim Erickson • Sep 6, 2012 Except for The Passion of the Christ, I can't think of another movie that revels in blood and pain as much asLawless does. For once, every smash of the brass knuckles and every blast of the bullets reaps its harvest of gore and the camera lingers to pick up the writhing and groaning. And yet Lawless seems to be a little squeamish about exactly what happened to the captive heroine and what Guy Pearce did to Dane DeHaan except to kill him, which would hardly inspire so much fury in the world of Virginia hills during the moonshine days of Prohibition. It's not for me t Movie Review: Ruby Sparks By Jim Erickson • Aug 30, 2012 Ruby Sparks is a happy surprise for at least three reasons: heroine Zoe Kazan is a fun new actress who also wrote the script, it is an enjoyable love story, and it is a pleasant comic variation on Frankenstein; unless one is very sensitive to bad language, I can't see why anyone would not like it. Movie Review: The Odd Life of Timothy Green By Jim Erickson • Aug 23, 2012 The Odd Life of Timothy Green is a fantasy movie that wants to be a charming little moral fable, but that lacks emotional charge and involves one plot problem that may give you no trouble if you keep in mind that there is nothing requiring supernatural beings to have much intelligence. Movie Review: The Campaign By Jim Erickson • Aug 16, 2012 It might seem a pretty brave act to try to make a political satire reflecting our present political campaigns, since satire consists of exaggerating the ridiculous aspects of something and our present situation is hard to exaggerate. But writers Chris Henchy and Shawn Harwell and director Jay Roach, who directedGame Change and Recount and ought to know the situation, have managed to get an A- rating fromEntertainment Weekly with Campaign, which got a 2 ½ in the Eagle and would get less than that from me.

Algebrator was much less expensive then traditional Algebra tutors, and allowed me to work at my pace with each problem. If it was not for Algebrator, I fear that I may have failed my Algebra class. Youre a lifesaver!
Montgomery Gross, VA
Thanks for the quick reply. Now that's customer service!
Joe Johnson, OH
I usually don't send in a testimonial like this but I really had to say Algebrator took the edge off my math problems. Thanks a bunch.
John Doer, TX
I recently came across on the internet and ordered the algebra software for my child. I am happy to report that the visual and hands on approach is just what my child needed to grasp fundamental algebra concepts.
Jacob Matheson, FL
Good job! I feel this version is MUCH easier to use than the older version. What I have seen looks like a major step forward to users like me.

The Pleasure of Scratching
I have wondered what other guys experience is on this for a long time.
Having suffered from both heat rash, razor burn and crotch root plenty of times. I know the difference between normal and an annoying itch. Even when perfectly normal my balls have always been itchy but not in an annoying way they just always want to be scratched. I have got the impression from how easy it is to catch men scratching to pop culture references like this one from legally blond:
Ell: I bet he is still scratching his head
Beautician: Good that will give his balls a break.
That it is quite normal for other men as well to always want to scratch their balls. Its not masturbating, it doesn't necessarily turn me on. However, it could be that most other men scratching themselves have one of the many good reasons for doing so I have to wonder. How similar is your experience on this?

Style : Toward Clarity and Grace
Yayıncı Chicago University Press ( 06 / 1995 ) ISBN 9780226899152 | İngilizce | 208 Sayfa | Türler Eğitim (Genel)
This acclaimed book is a master teacher's tested program for turning clumsy prose into clear, powerful, and effective writing. A logical, expert, easy-to-use plan for achieving excellence in expression, "Style" offers neither simplistic rules nor endless lists of dos and don'ts. Rather, Joseph Williams explains how to be concise, how to be focused, how to be organized. Filled with realistic examples of good, bad, and better writing, and step-by-step strategies for crafting a sentence or organizing a paragraph, "Style" does much more than teach mechanics: it helps anyone who must write clearly and persuasively transform even the roughest of drafts into a polished work of clarity, coherence, impact, and personality. "Buy Williams's book. And dig out from storage your dog-eared old copy of "The Elements of Style." Set them side by side on your reference shelf."--Barbara Walraff, "Atlantic" "Let newcoming writers discover this, and let their teachers and readers rejoice. It is a practical, disciplined text that is also a pleasure to read."--"Christian Century" "An excellent book....It provides a sensible, well-balanced approach, featuring prescriptions that work."--Donald Karzenski, "Journal of Business Communication" "Intensive fitness training for the expressive mind."--"Booklist" A textbook edition with exercises, "Style" is available from Longman.

On Monday, June 23, 2014, Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Deputy Sheriff Allen Bares was shot and killed at while he was investigating two suspicious men while off duty.
Deputy Bares was cutting grass when he observed the suspects crash their car into a nearby ditch. He called the sheriff's office to report the incident and suspicious activity, then approached them and identified himself as a sheriff's deputy. As he did so, one of the men drew a weapon and fatally shot him.
Responding sheriff's deputies located Deputy Bares suffering from gunshot wounds and transported him to Abbeville General Hosptial, where he succumbed to his wounds.
After shooting Deputy Bares, the two suspects stole his truck and fled the area. The truck was later located in Abbeville, and both subjects were arrested several hours later. They were subsequently charged with first degree murder, unauthorized use of an automobile, and for a burglary they had just committed on the same street.
Deputy Bares had served in law enforcement for 15 years. He had previously served with the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office. He is survived by his wife and two children.

Gunning for trouble
The Sex Pistols are reuniting in a money-making exploit that would colour any self-respecting punk's cheeks. David Harris laments their resurrection.
t may be misplaced idealism, but news of
the Sex Pistols' reunion — planned for
Glasgow and London gigs in July — is
rather like being told that Santa Claus
doesn't exist. It's probably healthier for us
to be disabused of our fantasy, but the overwhelming response is disappointment verging on disillusion.
The thought ofa 40-year-old John Lydon in an Armani suit serving up reheated versions of 'Anarchy In The UK' to an audience of nostalgia buffs, is the antithesis of all that was holy and sublime about the nihilistic energies that once struck terror into the hearts of Daily Mail readers. This sort of get-together is all right for Crosby, Stills and Nash, but when it comes to Lydon, Matlock, Cook and Jones, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
With the benefit of maturity and hindsight, it's easy to mock the public outcries over the Punk phenomenon of the late 703 as hysterical over- reaction. Now that we're all grown up culture consumers, The Clash sit comfortably between Eric Clapton and George Clinton on the CD rack, but despite their fragmentation into a cabaret act, and the requisitioning of their brief history by Julien Temple's Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, the Pistols remained iconic representations of a tarnished ideal. Those of us who remember when the NME was a bulletin from the subcultural barricades will always believe that something as apparently trivial as the robotic chant of 'No Future' against a thrashy guitar backdrop can transform the world, even if it's only the world in your head.
Like a phoenix from the ashtray, Punk revitalised a moribund music scene satisfied to peddle the likes of Kiss and Peter Frampton as its star attractions. Central to it all was the myth of the Sex Pistols. In the mid-70$, centred around Malcolm McLaren's fetishist clothes shop Sex, the embryonic band featured guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook, who had knocked off most of their gear from locations as diverse as the BBC studios and the Hammersmith Odeon. With the addition of McCartney fan Glen Matlock on bass, they were still going nowhere fast when, desperately in need of a frontman, they auditioned and recruited a gawky, arrogant nineteen-year old called John Lydon, rechristened Rotten because his teeth matched his green hair. They might have been just another motley crew of noise merchants in the tradition of the Stooges and MCS but for Lydon's presence. Nothing had prepared the world for this staring urchin with his barbed-wire whine and lyrics that were graffiti in the making.
Gaining a reputation for violent outbursts at their gigs, and signed to EMI, the Sex Pistols hit the headlines in December 1976 following an appearance on Bill Grundy's mid-evening Today

programme. Grundy's supercilious interview and the band's response to his provocative 'Go on . . . say something outrageous' — wideboy Jones revelling in the opportunity to call him a dirty fucker after a limply ironic suggestion that he and Siouxsie Sioux meet up after the show — galvinised public opprobrium. Overnight. punk rock and the Sex Pistols became, in the words of one tabloid reader. 'a greater threat to our way of life than Russian communism or hyperinflation'. After the whimpering death of 60s revolt. the idea that youth culture could still scare the

establishment continues to give us some hope in a world where rock music is just another marketable commodity on a par with the monolithic fashion and movie industries.
The Pistols' music itself doesn't seem that threatening, and yet of all the great albums from the period — The Clash, The Ramones' first three LPs, The Heartbreakers' LAMF, the Saints' '(l'm) Stranded' — Never Mind the Bollocks best captures the audacity of the punk explosion. This was the kind of music that, as Mark Perry's Snijjin' Glue fanzine memorably advised,
anyone could play: all you needed was a guitar, three chords and the nerve.
Had the band trundled on for longer we would no doubt see little difference between this revival and. say, the recent reunion of the Buzzcocks (although that too trod on a few dreams). But the Pistols' encore has an air of resignation and finality. Besides the unashamed financial motivation, Lydon'sjustitication is that because 'so many people have imitated and fucked up what was pure and perfect', the band needs to draw a line under its hijacked history. 'lt'sjust for us as a band to say goodbye to each other properly.' he says. The horrible image of Status Quo lining up for one last fling veers into the mind.
It's partly because the-Pistols were so short- lived that the mystique survives; and that although the music biz is a corporate crock it's possible to make an impact in it and come out relatively sweet-smelling. Born out of the anti- politics of Situationism and the Angry Brigade, punk a la Rotten served its purpose in apprOpriately hit-and—run style. To resurrect it for old times' sake is a betrayal: not of some idealised vision of social revolution, but of the artistic standpoint which still motivates renegade rock wannabes today. As a less convivial 21-year-old once sneered at a San Francisco audience, ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
The Sex Pistols will play at the SE C C, Glasgow on 16 July, before touring the US.

Bass-fishing buffs have long had more tournaments to fish than they had time for, but panfish anglers always had been left out of the fishing-for-profit game.
Then Crappiethon U.S.A. was organized a few years and perch-jerkers had a game of their own.
Although fishing for crappie may be looked down on by diehard bassers, the prize money being offered in this year's events equals the biggest of the bass tournaments.

Doc X Narrative: "Ajami"
My first two tweets coming out of seeing "Ajami", the Oscar-nominated Arab-Israeli film, praised its rare, "portrayal of Arab & Israeli male aggression AND vulnerability" as well as the decentered, interweaving narrative structure. The more I've thought about the film (and seen it again), the more I've come to appreciate the way that the 1st time directors, Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani, made such portrayals possible through their brave fusion of documentary and narrative forms. To begin with, they shot most of the film on location in the rough neighborhood of Ajami, in the city of Jaffa, after which the film is named. Those two decisions alone, location and title, ground the film in an environment that actually exists and call it by its name. This removes any doubt about where we are and how constructed the story is going to be. It's as if the directors are saying, from the outset, "This is not a true story but it might as well be."
With their world already set, Copti and Shani chose to cast mostly non-professional actors from the neighborhood of Ajami. This is a hugely ballsy move, especially for first-time directors, but it pays off in spades as the characters in the film consistently behave and speak in ways that are not at all 'larger than life' but rather completely life-like. The directors spent a year in workshops with the cast, placing them in dramatic situations and encouraging them to act exactly as they would in real life, using language that they would use in real life. For the film itself, they often worked without a script or without telling the actors what was going to happen next, so as to elicit the most pure, gut reactions. That is exactly what they got and it makes for some of the most gripping emotional performances I've ever seen on the big screen.
Naturally, an authentic location and authentic neighborhood cast call for an authentic shooting style, which "Ajami" delivers through the lensing of Boaz Yehonatan Yaacov. The roving, handheld style places the viewer squarely in the middle of the action, never quite certain what's coming next or from which direction. Mr. Yaacov is an excellent student of the cinema-verité school and takes it to another level, becoming almost an extension of the raw, unpredictable action of the characters.
But perhaps the most impressive (or, at least, notable) meta-narrative operating within "Ajami" is that of the film's creators, Copti and Shani, whose own collaboration creates an aura of hope around an otherwise tragic tale. Copti, an Arab Christian who was raised in the Ajami neighborhood and followed in his father's footsteps to become an engineer, discovered a passion for filmmaking when a friend asked him to collaborate on a short film about their neighborhood. He later met Shani, an Israeli Jew, who had attended film school in Tel Aviv and ran a student film festival, for which he encouraged local youths to make films about their environment. The two found in eachother a creative soul mate and embarked on writing the screenplay that would become "Ajami". They worked on the project for four years, while holding down day jobs, and eventually cobbled together financing from German and French film finance companies, as well as a grant from the Israeli Film Fund, just enough to shoot for 3 weeks.
When the film premiered at the Jerusalem Film Festival last summer, it brought down the house and was immediately hailed as the film of the year, which it won (as well as Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing) at the Israeli version of the Oscars, the Ophir Awards. It has since been nominated for Best Foreign Film for the upcoming Academy Awards.
I'll resist the urge to wax political about the lessons that can be drawn from the success of this Arab-Israeli, Christian-Jewish, Euro-Israeli collaboration. Suffice it to say that such lessons are abundant, but not nearly as significant, perhaps, as the artistic triumph that was achieved by the brave co-directors. On second thought, "artistic triumph" is far too lofty a description of what they did. Instead, I'd like to qualify their triumph as one of truth and honesty in storytelling. Whether documentary or fiction, scripted or improvised, the boundaries of filmmaking in the Imagination Age are not only expanded by advancements in technology (read: "Avatar") but, maybe more so, by the filmmakers themselves who are willing to forego the artifices of cinema and lay bare the raw humanity of everyday life on film. For me, this was the true power of "Ajami", the willful blurring of that antiquated line between art and reality.
Watch the trailer and then go see the film.
Gov 2.0 x Reality TV: Brick City
If you haven't already seen the new Sundance channel reality/doc series, "Brick City" (Sundays at 9PM EST), then you haven't experienced one of the best examples of the use of new media to create better, more transparent governance, or what is now popularly referred to as 'Gov 2.0'. President Obama, in his "Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government", explains:
My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.
Over months of shooting and 5 hour-long episodes, Mayor Cory Booker of Newark (@CoryBooker on Twitter, another great example of Booker's commitment to Gov 2.0) opens up his office, his city, and his own life to the Emmy-deserving cameras of Marc Levin and Mark Benjamin ("The Last Party", "The Blues"). And not only Booker, the energetic, Ivy league-educated, community organizer (remind you of anyone?) 1st term mayor, who defeated longtime incumbent Sharpe James (see Oscar-nominated doc "Street Fight"), and has made it his mission to rebrand Newark as a city on the rise. But also the Police Director, who is fighting not only the gangs on the street but his political opponents within the Department; a former gang-member turned women's activist, who is pregnant with her second child (by her boyfriend from the rival gang) and also facing multiple years in prison for an assault in 2004; the principal of one of the city's underfunded public high-schools, who is trying to put pressure on the school board to make good on their promise of a new school building; even the governor, former Goldman Sachs CEO Jon Corzine, makes a few cameos. So, how does this all add up to a case study of effective use of Gov 2.0 strategies? Not to be a pain in the ass, but you'll really have to watch to understand. The best I can do is explain that it's all in the way each character uses the power of the camera to connect with the virtual community that has grown around the show, from its fans, watching live, streaming clips, commenting, tweeting, retweeting, and in other ways multiplying the impact of the show's content and various change-agenda; the way those characters use the show as part of a multi-platform social media campaign to promote their individual causes. This allows Cory Booker to be tweeting about Newark's "achievements" as they unfold on the screen and in the online forums and episode guides. It allows ex-gangmember Jayda to promote her peer group, Nine Strong Women, and provide professional video content to its website. It allows Central Highschool Principal Ras Baraka to make an impassioned speech to his students about the abnormalcy of gang violence and have it reach audiences across the state and country, even the world (see below).
Please notice the posting by a Youtube member (unaffiliated with the school or the show) of Facebook and Twitter links for "OurBrickCity" and "CoryBooker", as well as the positive comments from actual students and supporters of Principal Baraka. I would call that a very effective partnership between Education, Media, and Government, and the public to rally wide support behind a change-initiative. It's transparent, it's open, it's participatory, it's collaborative, and it aims to build trust between partners. In fact, the Producers Guild of America recently hosted a panel to discuss "Brick City" as a 'New Media Marketing Case Study'.
But more than just the effectiveness of increasing visibility for the show and, ostensibly, support for the various causes that it champions, "Brick City" introduces a whole new way to (literally) look at governance: as a fully transparent, interactive, publicly-accountable system of leadership.
Here's a little promo reel. Many more clips at the Sundance site.

Thursday night into Friday morning Long Island had it's first blizzard of the season. This house was super psyched. We had a little bit of snow on a few other occasions but nothing noteworthy. And this winter my girl is old enough to be excited to build a snowman and go sledding. We actually went outside for like 5 minutes last night while it was all going down. I am not going to lie, we had an ulterior motive of getting our girl tired so she would go to bed.
|Out in the blizzard
We were super excited this morning to go out and play but temps with the windchill were below 0 and it was quite windy. I heard it was Long Island's coldest day since like 1988. Needless to say we could only have Liv out for a few minutes. To add insult to injury the snow was so powdery, we couldn't make snowmen or snowballs. Boo!! Hopefully this weekend. But I did get a snow photo op with my girl. See below.
I hope if you had snow, you got to go out and enjoy it a bit!! I have something else you could possibly enjoy. I will honor my AMAZING New Year's sponsorship promo of 75% OFF all sponsorship options!!! Woah!! Just use code: 2014 .

Stunning: Lily Allen has spent £3million on Old Overtown House in Cranham, Gloucestershire
Pregnant Lily Allen has spent £3million on a new six-bedroomed house in the Cotswolds.
The 25-year-old singer, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Sam Cooper, is the new owner of the luxurious 17th century Old Overtown House which is surrounded by a National Trust estate and is an Area of Outstanding Beauty at Cranham, near Painswick, Gloucestershire.
Allen is also believed to have chosen the house because it is situated near to her father Keith's house, around five miles way in Minchinhampton.
Spacious: As well as the six-bedroomed house, the property also has a three-bedroom guest cottage
A spokeswoman at the Cirencester offices of estate agent Savills confirmed: 'Yes, she is the buyer of Old Overtown House - that's absolutely correct. It's all gone through and she is now the proud new owner.
'There have been rumours for a while that she is buying it but we have not been able to say anything till now.
'She no longer wants it kept secret, it is a done deal.'
Romantic: The 17th Century property boasts traditional features and beautiful furnishings
Traditional: The view of the lounge, just one of the reception rooms the property has
As well as coming complete with six bedrooms, five bathrooms and three receptions rooms in the main house, the property also boasts a three-bedroom cottage in the grounds.
It is located on a west-facing Cotswolds slope and is just three miles from the village of Painswick and seven miles from Cheltenham.
Formal: The house has many place to enjoy a home-cooked meal, including this formal dining room
Relaxed: Or this much more relaxed kitchen, complete with an Aga and grandfather clock
The Savills spokesperson added: 'It enjoys the most wonderful uninterrupted views over the unspoilt surrounding countryside, framed by broad leafed woodland.
'It is approached down a long driveway, protected by the National Trust owned Ebworth Estate, a beautiful untouched piece of rural England.
'Many of the period details still remain including an array of fine stone fireplaces, polished timber and stone floors, carved door architraves and exposed beams.
Entrance: The entrace hall has a table and six chairs where people can sit with a large chandelier over them
Reception: And in yet another reception room, a smaller table and chairs for perhaps more everyday dining

Along the lanes I'd love to wend, near Artist's Mews, on Writer's Bend. Fragrant flowers of every hue would sparkle in the morning dew. I wish I lived in Carver's Valley, Quilter's Creek or Cross Stitch Alley. Just think of all the things I'd make, if I lived by Crafters Lake..........

Withdrawal symptoms
Would you believe that my blimmin laptop kept blowing the fuse in the electrics on Friday night. I was unable to use it and have suffered withdrawal symptoms for two days....... then my son brought his laptop for me to use as he no longer uses it. It turns out that the problem has been caused by the power cable so I am using Alexander's power cable and can still use my laptop. Got me thinking though. I have a lot of stuff on here that I don't want to lose so tomorrow night after work I shall have a proper 'backing up' session. Tony bought me a hard drive last year so I shall be transferring anything that I don't want to lose onto the hard drive.

I never back up but I know I should, I would be devastated if I lost all my stuff. Youve made me think now. loolReplyDelete
I really should make a point to do it at least once a month. I forget all about it thoughDelete
Good luck with the back up session! I bought an external hard drive over a year ago and still haven't quite figure out exactly how to use it. Happy week!ReplyDeleteReplies

Mom always cautioned us not to speak ill of the dead. Based on some of the content posted to online memorials and guest books, looks like some of us weren't listening. At www.Legacy.com, one of the country's largest Web-based memorial services, staffers work around the clock screening the 6 million-plus Guest Book entries submitted each year. In 2006, more than 300,000 were deemed ``inappropriate'' and removed before being ``going live.''
Unacceptable entries range from airing family ``dirty laundry'' to accusations of misbehavior on the part of the deceased. ``She was an awful boss,'' ``He had a mistress'' or ``He owed me money'' are common themes, as are rehashing old grudges and feuds, according to Hayes Ferguson, Legacy.com's chief operating officer.
