Good-Bye Bridget
Yesterday I lost two sheep to a coyote attack. I spotted Bridget lying in the middle of the pasture and as I went out to get her, Celeste ran screaming up to me with only two of her three lambs. We found most of it over by the fence. We have been very fortunate with all of the electric fences and Rueben on guard, our sheep losses have been nil and duck losses way down since having a guard dog, but this was sad because it always seems to be the pets that go missing. Here is a photo of Bridget with one of her daughters taken last week, Farwell

The Visit Hendricks County staff recently scoured our local shops looking to fill our 2017 edition of one-of-a-kind finds you can only get in Hendricks County or on our tri-county Rural Routes to Main Street Cultural Trail. In many cases, that means these gifts are handmade by local artists or can be found locally.
If you want to view our weekly Facebook live videos highlighting all of our gifts, click here.
This installment focuses on gift ideas under $10, which is a new category this year to the gift guide. But even if the particular item we feature may not be exactly what you're looking for, we suggest visiting each of these small businesses as they just might have that gift idea you thought you would never find.
You can find our complete One-of-a-Kind Finds Holiday Gift Guide by clicking here.
Wooden Snowmen
Our under $10 finds starts at Gizmo's Galleria in Brownsburg. Filled with booth after booth of collectibles, antiques and handmade items, you can truly find a little bit of everything while perusing the aisles at Gizmo's.
This year, we decided to feature these cute snowmen made by Brownsburg resident Jeff Shadday. He decided to do something fun with tree logs and with the help of his wife created these snowmen, which would add a natural element to complement any home holiday display.
The snowmen cost $5-$8 depending on the size.
Goat Soap
Why in the world would you use or give goat soap as a gift you might ask? How about for the quality of the product including its moisturizing and gentle feel factors or that it is made locally in Plainfield by a wonderful family who own the goats and personally make each bar?
Global Soaps is actually made from the milk the Burgess family collects from their goats and has received rave reviews from anyone who has tried it. It comes in a variety of scents including unscented, and they even produce a line of Oil n' Grease Away soap that I'm told works really well for those who come home with grimy hands on a daily basis.
We found their soap at Frazee Gardens in Brownsburg and Big Tuck's Feed & More in Pittsboro for $6.50 a bar or $7 for the Oil n' Grease Away variety.
Christmas Coloring Cards
These prints produced from original drawings from a local artist provide a great way to personalize your gift this year. They come in a variety of patterns that you color to personalize.
You can purchase the cards invidually for $4 each at Gallery on the Square in Danville or by the packet, which includes two different cards and two envelopes for $6.
Homemade Jam - SOLD OUT
While purchasing jam or jelly as a gift might sound a little boring, wait until you hear the story behind the jams and jellies we found at Tina's Traditional Tearoom & Tavern on the square in Danville.
The restaurant owner Tina Jesson actually moved to the United States from England a few years ago and settled in Hendricks County. Her tearoom specializes in English teas and foods including scones, clotted creams and other English-inspired fare.
But her handmade jams and jellies have special meaning as each one remains very personal to Tina because they are her grandmother's personal recipes. She sells four varieties -- raspberry jam, vanilla chai jelly, lavender jelly and fig & ginger jam -- in 4-ounce jars for $9 each.
Knitted Matryoshka Doll
We found a gift with another great story from across the pond at Gilley's Antique & Decorator Mall in Plainfield with these knitted matryoshka dolls. Matryoshka is Russian for "little matron." You may more commonly know these dolls as Russian nesting dolls, which are typically wooden and decrease in size with one placed inside the other.
Anyway, these dolls are not the nesting variety and only come in one size, but they were made from a Russian-born local artist who now lives here. They sell for just $4.99 in the From Russia With Love booth on the decorator side of the mall.
Apple Butter
You may be familiar with Beasley's Orchard in Danville for their great apples and apple cider, corn maze or hayride to the pumpkin patch or other fun activities they offer on the farm, but did you know they sell their own line of apple butter?
They sell two varieties -- with sugar added or no sugar added -- in 18-ounce jars for $5.95. You can find it in their Civil War-era barn turned market on their farm. I can just taste it now. Yum!
Mini Bread Loaf
What better way to sample Beasley's apple butter than on a slice of bread handmade at the Bread Basket Cafe & Bakery in Danville. The restaurant usually has a variety of both sweet and savory varieties available. One of their most popular breads, Honey Oat, is almost always in stock, but you may want to call ahead to make sure or place an order for your favorite before stopping by.
Their mini loaves are very affordable at $4-$5 a loaf depending on the variety. They offer bigger loaves for purchase as well.
While you are there, you might as well plan your visit around breakfast or lunch and enjoy a meal and/or dessert. It doesn't get much better!
Rainbow Trout
Continuing the animal theme, these hand-painted gourds make a great gift for anyone interested in fishing or the great outdoors. They work really well with any decor, but would really spruce up a lodge or cabin.
Each handmade fish measures 7- to 9-inches long and comes on a small stringer. We found them at Berries and Ivy Country Store, which is a stop on our Rural Routes to Main Street Cultural Trail, on the Morgan County Courthouse Square in Martinsville.
They sell for $9 each, though you may want to consider a group of 3 or more, which look nice together as a decorator piece.

It's a big and rough market out there. Metro is going to have to link up with one of the other regional little guys or find themselves on the wrong end of the LTE wars. LTE is not cheap for a carrier to offer, always with emerging tech and it's only going to get harder. Hope Metro makes out well, now Sprint you guys need to get it in gear wasted efforts on WiMax with damn near no good results now you have to play catch up and get LTE to which even a tiny carrier like Metro has beaten them to. Shame!

Sprint is rolling out lte in a few months. When it does happen I would personally much rather have a phone with lte and wimax than the cdma/lte verizon has or the hsdpa+/lte at&t has. More power to sprint if they keep unlimited data. I'm on magenta now, but a lte/wimax phone would make me switch to sprint.

wimax is being phased out as it is being replaced by LTE, so that combo will likely never exist. Not to mention the power usage would be off the charts. Also Sprint's wimax has proven itself consistently slower than hspa+ in some areas so there is really not benefit at all.

WiMax is being shut down in favor of LTE, so WiMax will have gone the way of the dodo in just a few years. Therefore, all the current Sprint WiMax phones are going to be stuck on their slow CDMA network, though Sprint's planning on getting rid of that soon too and setting up an all-new 3G network. In other words, sprint is the metaphorical chicken with its head cut off. Personally I like the way AT&T has it: proven EDGE/GSM & UMTS 3G with HSPA+ for where they don't yet have LTE, and LTE for even faster and more consistent speeds. Though I'm very interested to see what T-Mobile will be doing, as the theoretical threshold of UMTS (HSPA+) passed the 100Mbps mark months ago, and the 42+ Mbps is gaining wider and faster deployment than the separate LTE networks ***EDIT*** Sorry didn't see your comment wrxinsane

Actually, Existing WiMax towers will still be supported until all existing Wimax devices reach their EOL. Sprint is releasing a trimode connection device capable of 3g, WiMax and LTE and has no current plans of shutting down existing WiMax towers. They definitely won't be adding any additional WiMax towers though.

yeah i saw the device on the new landings page. 3G/WiMax/LTE on a single device. i dont expect more towers but i live about 2 Km from a clearwire WiMax tower that sprint uses. sprint has the best speeds in my market and LTE is planned for the city i commute to. so wimax/LTE is perfect for me. i plan on buying the device if initial reviews are good.

Well, Metro pcs beat EVERY carrier to LTE, not just Sprint. But Sprint beat everyone to 4G, so when the other carriers are adding LTE slowing, 4 years later, they are actually the ones playing catch up. We'll see if LTE is still so great in 4 or 5 years. It might be, or everyone may have moved onto the newest thing.

It's funny how many people diss Verizon, but year after year they add more retail customers and have the lowest turnover of customers than AT&T, Tmo, and Sprint. MetroPCS LTE hasn't grown since they launched it. AT&T HSPA is faster than EVDO, but Verizon LTE covers 2/3 of the US POP. AT&T HSPA might be a little more than 2/3, but their LTE is only 20 cities. When the next iPhone comes out later this year with LTE, HSPA will not matter for backwards compatibility because Verizon LTE will cover even more POP. By the time AT&T and/or Sprint catches up to Verizon, they will probably upgrade to LTE Advance. Being analyst, I would choose Verizon based on their healthy balance sheet and investment in their network. They don't cut corners like AT&T and Sprint. Customers who spend their money with Verizon, will get more in return with value, reliability, and service. I've had them all and there is no price on reliability.

HSPA+ is faster than 3G. Everything is faster than EVDO, I haven't used that in years. I've gotten speeds over 30MB's on my Skyrocket with HSPA+ pretty consistently. I live just outside NYC so the lte isn't far from my doorstep. Once LTE is available, and with HSPA+ speeds like I alredy recieve, I believe AT&T has the best network. And yes, they do only offer it in select areas, but those are areas with a very high population. So they are hitting the majority of people with it. For me, Verizon and AT&T offer the same coverage and I like AT&T's phones better. Verizon only recently got good phones with the Nexus and RAZR. Asie of those, their phones are usually just ok., where AT&T gets alot of exclusives and good high-end offerings. You just can't live in a little hick town with a population of 100 and have AT&T. For that you need Verizon.

Just a short 27 verses into the book of Genesis we learn that God not only made man. More specifically Moses is careful to tell us that God mad man "in His image". That caring act of creation set man apart from all of the rest of God's creation.
In Psalm 139 we learn that God has continued His loving act of creating man by uniquely creating each individual person.
We were formed by God's own hand. Knit together. And the Psalmist says that our having been created by God in such a way that we were created to praise Him. He says, I praise you BECAUSE I am wonderfully made.
Made in God's image, we were created to praise God. That is man's chief purpose. God created us so that we would freely praise His Name! Yet, the Bible tells us in Genesis 3 that man has a dire problem.
Our job as Christian parents is to teach our children what they were created for. They need to understand that they were created to worship God. But our job is not a simple one. We compete with their attention against TVs, iPods, video games, and a culture that increasingly pushes them to grow up quickly and grow up focused only on themselves.
Every human being was created to worship, and every human being worships something. Our job is to point our children towards the only One who is worthy of our worship; urging them to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The question then becomes one of how? How do I lead them towards Christ? How do I show them their need for and the value of a life lived for the glory of God?
Well, the key is to teach them God's Word. Use the principles from God's Word to train them. For example, the 10 Commandments.
It is so important that you teach your children the 10 Commandments. God's Law, the 10 commandments, is there for a myriad of purposes. Chiefly, it shows that which God requires in order to be properly worshipped.
However, as we examine our hearts in light of each commandment we quickly realize that we have not perfectly met any of God's requirements. But in doing this the Law shows us WHO we are.
The second thing God's Law does is show us WHAT we need. The Law commands us to do good, and then proves that we cannot and have not. To do what the Law requires we need righteousness. A righteousness that we obviously do not possess given our frequent transgression of it.
Next, the Law reveals WHO God is. He is our Lord and our Savior! His giving of the Law was intended to point us towards our need for CHRIST because HE and HE alone is the perfect fulfillment of all of those Laws that we could not keep.
Being perfectly righteous Jesus kept every Law perfectly on our behalf! As we teach our children God's Law they should see that they need Christ! That God sent Christ to lovingly rescue them from their sin!
As we teach our children the 10 Commandments God will show them that their every violation of it or any one that they will ever commit has been absorbed by Christ on the cross!
The world tells our children that people should accept them just as they are, but the reality is that the world creates systems that force them to earn any acceptance that they may want.
But teaching our children God's Word teaches them that God will truly accept them just as they are. Not because they are good, not expecting them to be perfect.
No, the Bible teaches that God will accept them because He is satisfied by His Son's sacrifice that was made on their behalf.
Not only that, but God's Word teaches that God will put His very Spirit within them and that Spirit will begin to work in them so that sin's reign in their life is broken as He begins to transform their lives!
He transforms them and frees them from the burden of their guilt and sin and it frees them to be the worshipper that God has created them to be!
Remember our text in Psalm 139, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made! We have to teach them the beauty in having been created by a good and holy God.
But it will not do to simply teach these things to them. That is the quickest way to produce self-righteousness in them. We must not only teach them God's Word, we must also model it for them.
Our kids have to see that we too love Christ and His law. They need to see in us a wholehearted response to God and His Word to us. Our lives must not only demonstrate the pursuit of obedience to God but they must also demonstrate the response we should have to disobedience. Our children need to see us striving to obey Christ, and when we sin and fall short they need to see us repent.
When your children observe your sin. Maybe you blow your top and scream at them. Maybe you speak harshly to your spouse in front of them. Maybe you get cut off in traffic and they witness you saying terrible things about the person who has offended you.
When those things inevitably come up, be transparent with them about what you've done, why you know it was sinful, and why you need to repent of that sin. Make it your goal to not only tell them about the importance of trusting Christ but show them how that looks in your own life.
When you pass one day, and your children inherit your possessions… what will you pass on to them that is of lasting value? What will they remember about you? The greatest legacy you can leave your children is one that teaches them to flee from their sin and trust in the sufficient grace of Jesus Christ. They need to see and know that your delight is in the Lord alone!

And my tent was still on the hill this morning. The jog was moved up due to the weather forecast, and then moved back because the cell that moved through came for the inspection. All the horses were evacuated to the reining indoor, sorry no pics, that was not a story I was willing to chase. You will have to make due with the jog images. Everyone passed, though two were held. The weather shifted so fast it looks like it could be two different days!

Skin care had always been a constant battle of trial and error for me. Suffering from acne that ranged from minimal to severe to manageable to just plain annoying, I was always in search of a better product. After years of bouncing between antibiotics, topical creams, and medicated washes, I came to believe that my skin was doomed - and that I should just deal with it. Thankfully, over the summer my mom came across a big old tub of coconut oil in her quest for clear skin. I was hesitant to try yet another product. However, I was incredibly surprised when this oil not only made my skin clearer, but it made my skin feel good. I hadn't realized that I was drying out my skin and that moisture was what it desperately needed.
My skin care routine for the past six months:
Morning and Night
1. Wash my face with Yes to Cucumbers Gentle Milk Cleanser. Once I cut out the harsh, "acne-fighting" washes, my skin actually began to clear. It's soft and smooth - something I thought I would never be able to say.
2. Apply coconut oil to my face and neck. Don't forget to moisturize your neck and chest - it's anti-aging!
I'm no expert and my skin is nowhere near perfect, but boy do I love coconut oil! What is your acne-fighting regiment, lovelies? Do you have one?

The whooping cough has not too long ago been projected to be at its highest ranges within the United States because the Nineteen Fifties. Immigrant and refugee kids might have been immunized in line with the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Expanded Program of Immunization (EPI) Plus schedule (see Table 1). In many instances your personal doctor (given the right period of time) can administer any essential immunizations. Your pet's age, well being, way of life, environment, and geographic location can all affect the vaccination schedule.
In addition, immunizations at urgent care centers are often cheaper than you may discover at a hospital or even at a health care provider's workplace. More details about vaccine side effects and precautions can be discovered in the CDC's brochure Parents Guide to Childhood Immunizations. Last yr Government scientists failed to reproduce analysis outcomes by Dr Wakefield.
The current epidemic really started within the late Nineteen Eighties when a large number of new vaccines had been added to the schedule. But in 2011 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and different specialists really helpful that boys additionally get the vaccine. The following is an example of the state of Illionois regulation (the place I live) referring to immunizations.
To be taught more about immunizations or to schedule immunizations to your youngster, contact your local health office , or call (601) 576-7751. In Singapore, 18 per a hundred,000 youngsters less than 5 years previous are contaminated with pneumococcal disease annually. Again, if they didn't you may sue them for millions of dollars if a response occurred from their immunizations. Special considerations to bear in mind:Remember that immunizations will not be appropriate for everybody. Parents planning to register a child in an area school system must carry a proof of immunizations with them along with other well being associated documentation.
If your preteen or teen (age 7 by way of 18 years outdated) has missed any photographs, check with the physician about getting back on monitor. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a useful useful resource for decoding vaccine parts and figuring out products by their trade identify. Many legal guidelines restrict all such letters to a college yr they usually must be renewed every fall.

When it comes to child custody and co-parenting after a divorce, the former spouses have a lot of responsibility -- possibly even more responsibility than they did before. They have to respect their child's wishes and their child's relationship with the other parent, and they also have to adhere to the rules and regulations established in their child custody agreement. Add on all of this to the normal responsibilities of just being a parent, and it can be a difficult endeavor.
However, there are some simple steps that any divorced parent can take to not only make this co-parenting relationship a little easier on everyone involved, but also possibly improve their relationship with their child. Here are a few things to consider:
- Always consider how your decisions impact your child. Remember, you should always have your child's best interests in mind. Negatively impacting your ex can, and probably will, negatively impact your child.
- Be open and effective with your communication when it comes to visitation and scheduling. Holidays, after-school activities, life events -- all of these things will have to be navigated in a co-parenting relationship.
- Highlighting the latter part of the first point, you should never let the anger or frustration you feel about your ex to impact your behavior around your child. Don't sabotage your child's relationship with your ex, and don't tell embarrassing stories or make disparaging comments that involve your ex when you are around your child.
- Also, avoid using guilt-trip strategies or using your child as a pawn to manipulate the relationship you, your child and your ex have together under the co-parenting model.

Hirokazu Koreeda's AFTER THE STORM
Movie review by Dennis D. McDonald
This movie includes a wonderfully intimate portrait of what we used to call a "ne'er-do-well." Here the main character is a middle-aged down-on-his-luck divorced novelist who now struggles as a sleazy private investigator to make child support payments. He, his former wife, and his young son all end up at the small apartment of his widowed mother as their town faces an oncoming typhoon. Drama ensues.
Complex emotional dynamics result from this mix but not of the kind we might expect from standard Hollywood fare. There's no yelling or screaming, no deep and dark secrets suddenly revealed, no last-minute sobbing change of heart. Instead we have a layered and sensitive coming together of ordinary people trying to move forward in the face of ordinary but -- to them -- seemingly insurmountable and complex odds.
The adjectives that came to my mind while watching were melancholy, bittersweet, funny, sensitive, and beautifully produced and acted.
What is most striking is lack of histrionics. The movie is built around a series of one-on-one conversations spent spread throughout the movie: old mother and son, son and divorced wife, son and child, and mother and divorced wife. That's how we learn both back stories and current states of mind.
The acting is universally excellent and natural. We get the sense that these are real people.
The filmmaker's art is also on display. While much of what we see is incredibly mundane (bus and train travel, people walking down the street, sitting down at a table to talk, making lunch, etc.) constant camera movement and occasionally very quick editing give a sense of reality. These help to overcome what might have been an almost claustrophobic emphasis on conversations that take place in the grandmother's small apartment.
See this movie if you're interested in a real "slice of life" comedy/drama. As in real life, not all problems are completely resolved. We are left hanging in several cases. This adds to the realism.

The story of Isaac and Rebekah is an unusual tale of love and the guidance of God. Many of the details of the story are rather foreign to us today but it was commonplace in the Middle East in the time of Abraham and much of it is true of that area in today.
Our story starts with a mention that Abraham is an old man. Chapter 23 includes the death of his wife Sarah. She dies at 127 years old, making Abraham 137 and Isaac 37. Elsewhere in Genesis we learn that Isaac is 40 years old when he is married so this is a few years after his mother's death.
Genesis 24:1-4
1 Abraham was now old and well advanced in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way. 2 He said to the chief servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had, "Put your hand under my thigh. 3 I want you to swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, 4 but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac."
There are a few interesting details here. First is the fact that Isaac is not married yet. God had promised to bless Abraham and we are told that God upheld His promise and had blessed Abraham in every way. But without a wife, there was not a next generation after Isaac. Forty may sound like an old age for marriage but we don't know how old Isaac's wife is. She is likely much younger, perhaps even just a teenager. Genesis 25 tells us that it won't be until 20 years later that she gives birth. So either she is still young enough to have children or God miraculously allows her to have children at an old age like Sarah.
There are a couple of reasons that Abraham sends his servant on this important task. The most likely is that Abraham is simply too old for such a journey. Beyond that, this is a very important task that the servant is trusted with. Abraham obviously trusts this man and as the head servant he would have shown himself to be completely trustworthy.
The manner in which the servant swears his oath to Abraham is certainly strange to us today. But that is also why it is such a serious oath. Today we reach an agreement with a handshake. We would never place our hand on or under someone else's thigh. But it is its proximity to the reproductive organ that makes this such a serious oath. Abraham is essentially trusting his future lineage to his servant and his ability to find a wife for his son.
The obvious question is why Isaac couldn't simply find a wife for himself. Part of it comes down to custom. Only in the last hundred years with the advent of the automobile has dating been a normal thing. Before that marriages were either arranged or were as a result of proximity to other people. If you lived in a small rural town 100 years ago, you only knew a handful of people and the odds were that you didn't leave the area. Your options for marriage was the girl on the farm down the road or the girl on the other farm up the road.
Abraham's requirement to return to his homeland and his relatives is also odd to our ears. There's a joke that goes something like "you might be a redneck if you look for a date at a family reunion." This is similar but not without reason. Abraham does not want his son to marry one of the foreigners from the land in which they are living. He knows that they worship idols and he doesn't want his son to be drawn into such a thing. Later on Isaac will be distressed when one of his sons marries someone who is a foreigner.
Vs 5-9
5 The servant asked him, "What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the country you came from?"
6 "Make sure that you do not take my son back there," Abraham said. 7 "The LORD, the God of heaven, who brought me out of my father's household and my native land and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, 'To your offspring I will give this land'-he will send his angel before you so that you can get a wife for my son from there. 8 If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there." 9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.
The servant realizes the difficulty of the task set before him. I'm certain no one here would allow their daughter to just go off with some guy who says he is to bring back a wife for his master. Not even after being showered with gifts and proof that the person is obviously wealthy. Even in the time of Abraham this would have been a daunting task.
Abraham assures his servant that God will be with him however. Abraham completely believes in the promise that God has given him. In order for the promise to be fulfilled Isaac must be married and have children. If his servant is unable to find a wife for Isaac he will be released from his oath.
Abraham makes it clear that Isaac is not to travel to Abraham's home country. There are two good reasons for this. The first is a matter of safety. A caravan of expensive merchandise was subject to being robbed and Abraham doesn't want to risk his son.
Perhaps an even greater threat though is the chance that Isaac would go and never return home. Even if Isaac remains safe, Abraham wants him to remain at home rather than travel so far away.
Vs 10-14
10 Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and left, taking with him all kinds of good things from his master. He set out for Aram Naharaim and made his way to the town of Nahor. 11 He had the camels kneel down near the well outside the town; it was toward evening, the time the women go out to draw water.
12 Then he prayed, "O LORD, God of my master Abraham, give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13 See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. 14 May it be that when I say to a girl, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'-let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
The fact that Abraham even owns camels in this era is proof that he is wealthy. Archaeologists have discovered little evidence of being domesticated at this time but have concluded that only the very wealthy may have owned them.
The request that Abraham's servant has of God is not a small one. Hospitality was and still is a very important thing in the Middle East. But the request that the servant makes goes well beyond the realm of hospitality. Camels drink a lot of water, as much as ten gallons at a time. Multiply that by ten camels and you have 100 gallons of water. This would be a chore for one person with a bucket and running water today. But in an era when getting water meant lowering a bucket down a well and then slowly pulling that back up, this is an enormous task. Undoubtedly there were other servants traveling with the caravan and they were more than able to draw water for the camel's.
Vs 15-21
15 Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, who was the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor. 16 The girl was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever lain with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.
17 The servant hurried to meet her and said, "Please give me a little water from your jar."
18 "Drink, my lord," she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink.
19 After she had given him a drink, she said, "I'll draw water for your camels too, until they have finished drinking." 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels. 21 Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the LORD had made his journey successful.
God has directed the servant to not only the right place and the right family, but directly to the right woman. If I properly followed the genealogy, Rebekah is Isaac's cousin's daughter. However, we must account for a huge difference in ages. Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born and his brother Nahor was likely much younger than that. Because the son of doesn't always mean the direct son of but rather a descendant of, there could be more than one generation removed between Isaac and Rebekah. Whatever the case, this is Abraham's family and God has led the servant here.
Vs 22-26
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels. 23 Then he asked, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?"
24 She answered him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, the son that Milcah bore to Nahor." 25 And she added, "We have plenty of straw and fodder, as well as room for you to spend the night."
26 Then the man bowed down and worshiped the LORD, 27 saying, "Praise be to the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to my master. As for me, the LORD has led me on the journey to the house of my master's relatives."
The gold that the servant gives to Rebekah is not meant to impress her but could be considered a tip for watering the camels. The servant gives this to her before inquiring about whether she is from the right family.
When the servant knows that he has found the right family he praises God for his success.
Vs 28-33
28 The girl ran and told her mother's household about these things. 29 Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he hurried out to the man at the spring. 30 As soon as he had seen the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's arms, and had heard Rebekah tell what the man said to her, he went out to the man and found him standing by the camels near the spring. 31 "Come, you who are blessed by the LORD," he said. "Why are you standing out here? I have prepared the house and a place for the camels."
32 So the man went to the house, and the camels were unloaded. Straw and fodder were brought for the camels, and water for him and his men to wash their feet. 33 Then food was set before him, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told you what I have to say."
"Then tell us," Laban said.
Here we meet Laban. He will show up again in a few chapters. This passage gives us a glimpse of his personality though. He sees gold and his eyes kind of bug out. He wants to be in good favor with the person who has tremendous wealth.
The servant goes on to recount the story of how he had been sent to find a wife for Isaac. When asked if Rebekah may return with him to marry Isaac Laban and Bethuel can't deny the request.
Vs 50-51
50 Laban and Bethuel answered, "This is from the LORD; we can say nothing to you one way or the other. 51 Here is Rebekah; take her and go, and let her become the wife of your master's son, as the LORD has directed."
We don't know if the family is particularly spiritual or if they worship the same God as Abraham. We know that Laban is an idol worshipper as we discover later on. But even if they don't know the God of Abraham, they know that this is His doing and know that they can't argue with God. So they give permission for Rebekah to marry Isaac. She doesn't get a say in the matter but we'll see that she does actually get to decide on her own as well.
Vs 52-57
52 When Abraham's servant heard what they said, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD. 53 Then the servant brought out gold and silver jewelry and articles of clothing and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave costly gifts to her brother and to her mother. 54 Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night there.
When they got up the next morning, he said, "Send me on my way to my master."
55 But her brother and her mother replied, "Let the girl remain with us ten days or so; then you may go."
56 But he said to them, "Do not detain me, now that the LORD has granted success to my journey. Send me on my way so I may go to my master."
57 Then they said, "Let's call the girl and ask her about it." 58 So they called Rebekah and asked her, "Will you go with this man?"
"I will go," she said.
It is understandable that the family wants Rebekah to remain a while longer before she leaves them. However it feels a bit more sinister than just this. Laban has seen all of the wealth that the servant has. He may hope that if they detain the servant Isaac will come to them and they will be able to keep the wealth of Abraham and Isaac nearby.
Whatever the true case, Rebekah is given an option and she chooses to go with the servant immediately.
Vs 62-67
62 Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the Negev. 63 He went out to the field one evening to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. 64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel 65 and asked the servant, "Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?"
"He is my master," the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.
66 Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. 67 Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
The story ends on a happy note. There is a marriage and Isaac is comforted from the loss of his mother. God has worked to bring these two together. They won't always have an easy marriage but it is nevertheless God who has guided them and placed them together.

Immigration causes growth in UK population
According to the UK office for national statistics (ONS) the population of the country is set to grow with 10% during the next 25 years. Immigration will directly contribute for a large part of this growth. The ONS says that its projections indicate that the UK's population should reach 68m in 2022, 70m in 2027 and 73.3m in 2037. Part of this rise will be caused by the fact that people are generally living longer. By 2037, one in 12 of the population will be over 80. There will be 111,000 people aged over 100, compared to only 13,000 today. ONS makes its population projections every two years and those are later used by the UK government to set the appropriate policy on immigration. The current expectation of the population increase are based on the projection that the country will experience net immigration of 165 000 people per year. The forecast predicts that the net immigration will increase with 4,6 million people which will constitute 46% of the total expected growth in the population. In addition to that immigration will indirectly contribute to population increase of 17% during the next 25 years. The reason for this is that the birth rate among immigrants is higher and therefore ONS predicts that immigration, and the related increase in birth rate, will actually cause the UK population to grow by 5.8m by 2037; 60% of the total. In 2010, the UK's net annual immigration figure was 250,000 but the UK's current Coalition government has been trying to cut immigration and has so far cut it around 165,000 a year. Before the last parliamentary election the current Premier Minister David Cameron has promised to bring the net immigration to less than 100 000 people per year.

text: Formed in early 2010, the band released a self-titled EP in 2011. After that, they focused on live shows and writing material for their first full length album. "Manu Armata" saw the daylights in February of 2013 and was instantly well received by the international press. It got raving reviews and Komatsu's music style was compared to bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Torche, Mastodon, Monster Magnet and Karma to Burn. Over the past five years they have steadily grown and were asked to be the support act for internationally well-known bands like Truckfighters (SWE), Lonely Kamel (NO) and a range of bands from the USA such as Monster Magnet, Karma to Burn, The Sword, Red Fang, Clutch, Nashville Pussy, High on Fire, Corrosion of Conformity and Baroness. They also performed at the official Queens of the Stone Age after party in the Effenaar in Eindhoven. In 2014 they went on European tour with none other than John Garcia (Vista Chino, ex-Kyuss, Hermano, Unida and Slo Burn) and played 32 shows in 13 countries.

My Brain At Work: Somewhat Random (and Possibly Useless) Thoughts On the Origins of Craft Brewing/
As avid readers (because there are some, right??) know, Jack McAuliffe, the acknowledged founder of the craft brewing movement, is a friend. In January, Boston Beer Company --- known to you as Sam Adams --- will introduce New Albion Ale, based on the recipe Jack used to make his first beer in the late 1970s.
That means that lately there's been an unusual amount of attention paid to Jack and to his brewery, New Albion. Which means that I've been hearing more than the usual iterations of a question I'm often asked: "Is New Albion really important?"
By which the questioner means:
"Hey, McAuliffe's brewery only lasted a few years. Most people interested in craft beer had never even heard of the guy until your book came out. He can't be that important."
To which I usually say something like
"He deserved the credit. Would someone else have done what he did? Eventually. But at the time, he inspired others to do what he'd done, namely cobble together some raw materials, build a brewery, and make beer."
(And I mention Ken Grossman and Sierra Nevada as an example of the direct influence of Jack and New Albion.)
So that's the background. (Yeah. You know me: The background takes more time than the main point. What can I say? I'm a historian. Context is everything.)
Anyway, this has been on my mind. Or, more accurately, my brain has been busy pondering the "Would someone else have done what he did?" I say "apparently" because I didn't realize I was even thinking about this until yesterday, when the following crashed into my brain's foreground and grabbed my attention:
When people have asked me the aforementioned question, I've usually skipped over the "would someone else have done what he did" part and spoke mainly to the "direct influence" part of why Jack matters. Because of course I had no idea if someone else would have done what Jack did.
Until now. Thanks to my busy brain, I now have a different take on the issue of "does Jack matter?" (*1) It goes like this.
It's hard to imagine that a craft brewing industry wouldn't have shown up eventually, right? After all, at the same time that craft of beer pioneers were doing their thing, the "good coffee" movement started. Other entrepreneurs were experimenting with a return to good bread. Micro-distilleries began showing up in the early 1990s. Natural foods were going great guns in the 1980s.
So at some point someone would have come up with a "craft brewing industry." (*2)
BUT: it's not clear to me that, without Jack (or some one like Jack) it would have looked like the do-it-yourself, self-reliant industry that it was and to a certain extent still is.
Let me explain:
Jack's brewery failed, but the way he built his company became the foundational model for the craft brewing industry that emerged in the early 1980s.
Ken Grossman, for example, had already dreamed about opening a brewery, a dream inspired in part by his love of good beer but also by a visit to Anchor Brewing in San Francisco. But when Ken visited Anchor, he saw an insurmountable obstacle: a full-blown brewery with "real" brewing equipment. Grossman knew he couldn't pull that off, or at least not until he'd devoted a few decades to saving the many thousands of dollars such a venture would require.
When he visited New Albion, however, he saw instantly that here was a model that he could emulate and do so with relatively little cash. (He and his then-partner Paul Camusi scrounged $50,000 in start-up funds, mostly from family.) If he could find spare parts, which was what Jack had done, he could use his engineering/carpentry/handyman skills to build a brewhouse.
So he did, and so did other early pioneers, and the rest, as the cliche goes, is history.
But let's ponder an alternative history, one based on a combination of speculation and fact.
Here's a fact, one based on my six years spent thinking and writing about meat in America:
Food and food fads are like anything else: if there's a profit to be made, if there's a fad to ride, someone will jump in and try to make some money on it.
In the 1980s, for example, a couple of marketing types in California noted the interest in "natural" foods and began selling "Rocky the Ranger" chickens, which they touted as free-range and natural. The chickens weren't, but that didn't matter. Plenty of people were willing to pay big bucks for natural poultry. (Among them was Wolfgang Puck, just then hitting his stride and his celebrity, who began serving Rocky at his restaurants. He was none too pleased to discover, during a blind taste test, that neither he nor other tasters could tell the difference between high-priced Rocky and plain ol' chicken).
Here's another, more relevant example:
In the mid-1980s, Jim Koch, then working at Boston Consulting Group, had a early-mid-life crisis and decided he needed a job with more soul than helping Fortune 500 types figure out how to make billions rather than millions. Brewing was in his family (as he's fond of pointing out, he's the fifth generation to work in beer), and when he pondered his future while perched on a barstool, he noticed that yuppies, as they were called then, were dropping serious money to pay for imported beer (think Heineken and St. Pauli).
That market niche intrigued him. After a bit of investigation, Jim learned that there were a handful of people scattered around the country making what amounted to nineteenth-century beers (real, pure, made from four ingredients, blah blah blah). There, Koch decided, lay his future. In this case, he skipped the do-it-yourself route and instead contracted to brew his lager using "real" brewmasters at "real" breweries.
Jim Koch happens to be a guy with a soul. (*3) The company he built melds with and has been a key component of the craft beer industry.
But it's clear that what Koch did, some other suit-and-tie could have done, too. (*4)
Which brings me, finally, to my point. (Thanks for sticking with me).
Had Jack McAuliffe not built his whacky, nineteenth-century-inspired, spare-parts brewery, a craft beer industry would have emerged anyway. But it likely would have been built by suits-and-ties; business types with more interest in profit than beer who'd wangled bank loans and built a brewery along the same lines as conventional brewing (read: Anheuser Busch) except in miniature. And then, I'm guessing, sold to the first big brewer who came along (and remember that both Miller and AB "came along" and started buying/acquiring shares in small fry in the late 1980s).
Instead of the "think local/think pure and real" craft brewing industry we've got now, with all its glory, creativity, and dynamism, we'd have ended up with a bastardized version in which the Big Boys made a few shitty "craft" beers, and instead of the few thousand breweries that now exist in the U. S., we'd probably still have, oh, 79 or 80. And I doubt we'd have locally owned and operated brewpubs. We might have chain restaurants with brewing equipment prominently displayed behind glass, but that's not quite the same thing as the truly fascinating, truly local brewpub culture that has flourished in the U. S. in the past 30 years.
So. Jack matters not because he succeeded --- he didn't --- but because of the way he built his company: from scraps, with next to no cash, and with a truckload of heart, soul, and hard work.
End of great idea.
For now. Part of my busy brain has been thinking hard about a new book and what it wants to write (and why would I get in its way!?) is a book about, well, I'm not quite sure yet but something about the craft beer industry, the nature of contemporary capitalism, the shift to the local, and the way all things digital have transformed all of it. I have the feeling I'm going to be thinking this book out loud, if you will, here at the blog. So it's possible that this is a tentative first step toward this vague, amorphous, and possibly bad idea that's churning around in my brain. We'll see.
And comments and feedback are most welcome. Have at it.
Oh: And no, not quite finished with meat book. But I have written a major chunk of that pesky new chapter my editor wanted.
UPDATE AFTER THE FACT: I should have included this link first time around. Two years ago, Jay Brooks and Natalie and Vinnie Cilurzo went to the New Albion site with Jack. Jay made sure to document the visit.
*1: I'm continually impressed by how much work my brain does without me even asking it to. Brains are important, you know? If we have a Mother's Day and a National Pizza Day, and a "Talk Like A Pirate" day, why in hell don't we have a "Thank Your Brain" day?
*2: Hmmm. That raises a fascinating question that I only thought of while writing this blog entry: How long would it have taken Charlie Papazian to go the next step; to travel from homebrewing-as-national-movement, which was what he was primarily interested in in the late '70s and early '80s, to "let's take homebrewing to the next step"?
*3: Some would disagree with that view. But I would argue that one need only look at the way he's operated his company to know that when he said he intended to build a corporation with a heart and soul, he meant it.
*4: Indeed, the essence of the messy craft beer boom of the 1990s was precisely that: suit-and-tie types bringing in big money to cash in on what was then seen as a profitable market niche.

This Is What Happens When You Let A Baby Tiger Steal Your GoPro.
They say that the best documentarians will do whatever it takes to get a great shot. After seeing this footage, it's hard to imagine going this far for a great video - but we're glad they did!
While vacationing in Southeast Asia with his girlfriend, a YouTuber named Tim had a chance to get up close an personal with two tiger cubs. Recognizing this unique opportunity, Tim brought along his GoPro video camera with the intent of getting some shots of the tiger cubs as a souvenir from his travels.
What Tim couldn't have planned is what happened next: Instead of letting him film them, these tigers decided to film themselves! Pilfering the camera away from Tim, the tigers kept a firm grasp of the GoPro stick in their mouths...and even fought over it a little.
The scene certainly looks great on camera, even if you're not sure if you'd let them have yours. Then again, they're tigers - it was probably a good idea to let them call the shots!

Woman In Windowpane
During my mini break from work, my besties and I went to see one of my favorite singers Miss Jill Scott in Brooklyn. For a night out with my boo's I thought it would be great for me to wear my Windowpane Dress from Fashion to Figure. This dress is perfect for a summer night out in the city. It's sassy, and sexy all rolled into one- from the great pattern to the mesh panels along the bottom. Unfortunately, this dress is sold out online, but you may be able to find it in stores. There is however another windowpane version on sale with a cutout in the back (it's super cute, trust me). I didn't want to steal any attention away from the dress so I went with simple ankle strap pumps from BCBGeneration. I went with my Kate Spade clutch from my last post Spotted, since it literally holds everything without being the slightest bit bulky. The concert was great, Jill did her thing as always and had the whole crowd captivated. She is my #WCW all day everyday. She was flaunting her curves, belting out tunes, and when her feet started to hurt she took off her shoes and kept on going. She is woman after my own heart. Her new album Woman is out and I have rocking out to it all week. Are you planning to see any acts this summer, and if so who? Let me know in the comments. Muah!!

A rider on the NJ TransitNewark Light Rail shot cell phone video of their train operator allegedly texting while driving the train. The cell phone video shows the operator touching the keypad while looking down as the train is moving along the tracks.
The rider, who wants to stay anonymous, says it's not the first time he's seen a train operator use a cell phone or become distracted while driving the train. The distracted train driving, says the rider, leads to delays, which leads to passengers missing connections.
"You shouldn't be texting while driving a car and you definitely shouldn't be texting while driving a train particularly with all these people on board it's very dangerous," said Bill Slezak who rides the Newark Light Rail.
We showed the video to NJ Transit who confirmed it was one of their train operators.
"This is a clear violation of NJ Transit's policy and against the law. The operator was immediately taken out of service and has been suspended indefinitely without pay," NJ Transit spokesperson Dan Stessel.
The cell phone video comes just two weeks after NBC New York exposed several mass transit drivers in New Jersey multi-tasking while behind the wheel.
"What could happen in that one two or three seconds is potentially catastrophic," said Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy.
NBC New York cameras captured drivers from a company subcontracted by NJ Transit eating and reading newspapers while driving busses full of passengers.
In Hudson County they have even set up a task force to monitor the one-dollar private shuttle vans-we found some of their drivers were also on the phone while on the road.
"A distracted driver is a dangerous driver," said Hudson County Prosecutor Ed DeFazio.
NJ Transit says it encourages riders to take photos or shoot video of bus drivers and train operators who are using cell phones, eating, reading newspapers, or taking part in any activity that may distract them while driving.

In today's world, consumers pay significant attention to the outward appearance of the products they purchase and Indian law has not lost sight of the need for protecting the creativity associated therewith. The Designs Act, 2000 allows the protection of outward appearance of products, which could be in the form of shape, configuration, pattern, ornament or composition of lines or colours. Being a new field, it raises ample scope for interpretation and litigation as in revocation proceedings or enforcement, including investigation, infringement actions and border protection.
Areas of vital interest to stakeholders range from general consulting, initial consultation and opinions on registerability under the law to the procedural aspects of handling the complete process of design registrations, including design searches and analyses, filing and prosecuting applications, managing pre-registration and post-registration proceedings and formalities. Intellectual Property transactional work including assignments and licensing would also need to be accorded priority.
