Rehab for You
Whether you are addicted to drugs, alcohol, or both, continuing to use will only lead to more and more consequences within your life. And even with the knowledge that your substance abuse can destroy your physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, the very thought of stopping use and reaching out for help can be nothing short of frightening. But, when you are trapped in a cycle of substance abuse that has you putting your use above all else in your life, experiencing consistent repercussions of your actions, and impacting your ability to function, there is nothing left to do but to get help.
Recover Your Life Today
How Do I Know If I Need Rehab?
We at JourneyPure understand the apprehension that you and others in need of treatment experience when considering entering into rehab. Not only do we provide the highest quality of care, but we are also a team comprised of compassionate and experienced medical and mental health specialists who can help you overcome your fears and reach your recovery goals.
The disease of addiction is extremely complex, often making it difficult for those who are in the throes of active addiction to realize that they require professional treatment. In many cases, even those around a user can be blinded by denial and fail to recognize the depth of the problem at hand. It is very easy for all involved to convince themselves that one's substance use is not problematic, which is why it is critical to know the signs and symptoms of a substance use disorder.
Depending on the type of substance or substances that you are abusing, you have the potential to experience any number of symptoms related to your abuse. These symptoms will most likely be reflective of what substances you are using, how long you have been using, how much you use at any given time, and what your current mental state is like. In general, however, if you are suffering from a substance use disorder, you might display the following:
- Making your substance use the most important part of your life
- Giving up or neglecting responsibilities at home, within your family, or at work
- Continuing to use even though your use has caused problems
- Using increasingly larger amounts of your substance of choice in order to get high
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you do not use as much as normal or go longer than average without using
- Having significant changes in mood, including increased aggression, anger, and hostility
- Developing sleeping problems and changes in appetite
If you experience any of these symptoms, they should serve as a sign that your substance abuse is not within your control and is becoming increasingly worse. Reaching out and asking for help can guide you towards the rehab you need to get sober. It is also important to seek treatment if you even have the slightest inclination that your problem is much worse than you previously thought it was.
Benefits of Rehab
Making the decision to seek rehab is both brave and honorable. It is also one of the most difficult steps in the recovery process. However, once you make that call, the benefits of being enrolled in rehab can begin.
The most immediate benefit of rehab is that once you are in the care of the treatment center, you will no longer be at risk for suffering further consequences of your substance abuse, including overdose. Instead, you will be in the care of medical and mental health professionals who can determine that type of addiction treatment that will be best for you.
No matter the program that you partake in, you will be involved in several different types of therapy sessions throughout your treatment. These therapeutic sessions can give you the opportunity to identify and address the most pressing issues in your life, including the underlying causes of your substance use disorder. You can also begin to develop the necessary coping skills needed to keep your sobriety intact.
Should you require detox at the beginning of your stay at rehab, you will benefit from the medical assistance provided to you. The pain of withdrawal symptoms is not easy to deal with, however, treatment professionals can ensure that you are as comfortable as possible so that this process is not as distressing as it otherwise could be.
Other benefits of going to rehab can include developing a support system amongst peers, working on family struggles with family members, receiving mental healthcare for co-occurring conditions, and learning how to manage the disease of addiction in an effort to prevent future relapse.

Patients with lactic acidosis, previously observed, died within days of onset of the disease and were little helped by alkali therapy. A very high proportion of "excess lactate" in the blood of these patients suggested the basis to be tissue hypoxia, but the cause of the hypoxia is not known; neither hypoxemia nor circulatory failure was present. Attempts were made to determine the protective efficacy against experimental excess lactatemias of substances known to facilitate mitochondrial electron transport and permit tissue oxidations to occur at very low PO2. Two of these were effective in anesthetized dogs, methylene blue and new methylene

Honoring Michael Jordan's love for America's pastime and Jordan Brand's legacy in professional baseball, the Air Jordan 9 Baseball Pinnacle Pack is built with a specially made leather designed to mimic baseball mitts.
Each pair comes in packaging inspired by baseball cards that leaves the colorway (either Black/Metallic Gold-White or Hazelnut/Sail) a mystery until after opening. The two versions pay tribute to Jordan's minor league stints in Birmingham, Ala., and Scottsdale, Ariz., by featuring his numbers, #45 and #35, respectively, on the heels. Two baseball jerseys and hats complement the release of these two Air Jordan 9s.

4. How can a full line discount store do better in competing against a variety store like Family Dollar?
In order for full line discount stores to compete with Family Dollar, they would have to down size and open a neighborhood store. They would also need to significantly reduce the price of their products and also package them in smaller sizes. Full line discount stores would have to draw in consumers possibly by carrying a larger variety of brand name products. The layout of the store

Click to have 20e on Man Utd to beat Tottenham @ 3/1, they are 6/4 best price and as an added bonus receive a 40e free bet
Stoke City beat Norwich City 1-0 at the Britannia Stadium after a second half goal from Matthew Etherington was enough to separate the sides.
Stoke started well and the aerial threat of Peter Crouch caused the away side problems in defence but the score remained goalless as Norwich dealt with the danger well.
Jonathon Walters had the best chance of the game in the 25th minute when he was played into the box by Dean Whitehead but the Republic of Ireland striker was denied by Norwich 'keeper John Ruddy.
Robert Huth shot wide after being teed up by Walters on the half hour mark and a minute later Norwich's first chance of the game came when Anthony Pilkington's free kick found Grant Holt at the back post but his header went straight at Stoke 'keeper Asmir Begovic.
Norwich were poor for much of the first half but started to grow in confidence as their midfield got hold of the ball but it was Stoke who ended the half on a high.
Ruddy came to the rescue for Norwich yet again in the last few minutes of the first half when he pulled off a brilliant point-blank save as Peter Crouch looked certain to open the scoring.
Stoke started the second half as they did the first; in command of the game with Norwich on the back foot but the home side still could not get on the score sheet.
Tony Pulis shuffled his deck with 20 minutes remaining and brought on Cameron Jerome and Kenwyne Jones for Walters and Crouch, and within two minutes of those substitutions Stoke got the goal they were looking for.
Etherington picked up the ball from a flicked on header from Jerome before his shot beat Ruddy with a strike the Norwich 'keeper will feel he should have done better with.
The goal wasn't without controversy however, as the throw in which resulted in the goal was initially rewarded to Norwich before the referee over-ruled his assistant's decision.
The rest of the game was all Stoke as they searched for the second goal and Jerome should have found the back of the net in the 84th minute but his effort was blocked by Elliot Ward.
Norwich had a flurry of late half-chances but could not really trouble Begovic and the game ended with Stoke as deserved winners.
Norwich slip to 10th in the league as their loss means back-to-back defeats for Paul Lambert's side and Stoke leap frog them into 8th in the league table.

Lego Technic Antikythera mechanism

New Scientist have added a great video showing an accurate recreation of the Antikythera mechanism made from Lego Technic! I've been a huge fan of Lego Technic from an early age and I've been fascinated by the Antikythera mechanism, an astonishingly sophisticated solar eclipse calculator made in the first century BC and found in a wreck off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythera in around 1900 AD.
Here's the video. I'll be honest, it makes me want to go out immediately and buy a huge Lego Technic kit.

Straight Outta Compton actress Maria Sten on being a woman in the LA film industry
'You should know this love scene or script, you're a girl'
Women in the entertainment industry are hitting a wall. They are not being credited, paid, or acknowledged for their work half as much as their male counterparts. Stories are being created across the world from some of the strongest, most creative female minds and yet very few get the recognition they deserve. After a year of living in Los Angeles, I found that there are a select group of women that are taking serious initiative and doing it for themselves in the most competitive industry in the world: film.
One of those individuals is Maria Sten.
If you have any interest in being a woman in Hollywood, she's the authority on how it's done.
You might recognise Sten from hit film Straight Outta Compton, but when I meet her in a cafe in West Hollywood we talk about her latest project When It Burns, which has just been shortlisted for the Uptown Short Film Festival. Sten takes human nature as the subject of her latest project; a dark drama that tells the story of Kate and Luke, two young lovers struggling with their inner demons, their dreams and their interpretations of love.
"Through themes like insufficiency, indulgence, self-compromise, addiction and indirect violence we witness how the more some people feel like they need each other, the more damage they do by staying together. I wanted to lay the circumstances out in such a way that we can understand both sides of their struggle, and also to forebode how everyday relationship problems such as financial difficulties and miscommunication could be a downwards spiral in to darkness." Sten says as we sit in the diner-style booths.
Writing, directing, producing and starring in your own film is no mean feat, especially for a woman in the entertainment industry.
"Professionalism is such an important quality in this industry, but some people will inevitably blur the lines more than they probably would in an office setting," Sten says of working in one of the world's many male dominated industries, "Another nuisance is being made a spokesperson for the entire female sex, [people ask] 'Why is it that you women do [insert derogatory comment here]?' or 'You should know this love scene or script, you're a girl'. As a woman, or a person of colour for that matter, generalisations are rarely fun, and rarely accurate."
What is a particular dark side of the industry that our readers might not believe to be true, but actually is?
"You will beyond a doubt encounter men who think you're willing to do anything to get ahead. Some even think that it's completely normal. I find them to be the worst kind of human beings on the planet; taking advantage of a person's most sacred dream of being an actress, writer, model, is atrocious."
Luckily, women like Maria are promoting change and influencing new rhetoric on the way women are perceived by the entertainment industry.
"On the flip side, it's been my experience that if you are a woman who is independent, driven, and focused on the craft you're here to do, people acknowledge that and gravitate towards that; I believe the respect you get is measured by your integrity. I myself have not experienced too much male dominion, and on my own projects I make a point to have at least 50 per cent female cast and crew. I like working with strong female characters as much as I like writing for them and playing them."
So what is the future for women in Hollywood?
"I've heard the phrase 'women can't make action films or male driven films' which is of course ridiculous. Kathryn Bigelow has shown us that, among others. There has been brought a lot of attention to this 'Women in Hollywood' issue lately, and I see women directors, producers and star names break the barriers, one project at a time. It's so great to see women supporting other women, working together in excellence. We are expanding the playing field rather than buying in to the notion that all of us are competing for the same one female spot."

– The role real estate can play in your investment portfolio

Chasing The Rated Game
I have witnessed the obsession that many Go players on online servers have with their rating score and the inevitable results: escapers, etc. When you have a (?) next to your name on KGS, getting a rated game against a true rated player (no ?) is like some guy with a mouth sore trying to get a kiss. Many don't see the point in playing a game solely to play. It is madness, in fact, to play a game which will not affect your rating! And so for a few days I have had a hard time getting a rated game. The few that I did were against players far too strong for a handicap to even be effective, and the handicaps that they offered were too small.
It seems that I will have this dreaded (?) next to my name until I can finally get a few games against players near my own strength. With much luck, I found one of those tonight. Yop (27k)was kind enough to accept a game with me. I reduced the handicap by 1 stone to strengthen my chances at the game. During the middle game, I saw that there was territory to be gained in the lower middle. Drawing off a comment made by Chiyodad (27k), I used a series of keima to help push my way into that space. This ended up a much better approach than my usual method of placing stones madly, in almost random places. I was able to win our game and was quick to ask if he would like a rematch in a few days without a handicap. I doubt I will win that one.

MENLO PARK, CA -- Facebook is getting a facelift!
Not to worry though. This change seems to something we'll all like.
Your Facebook news feed will look a bit different in a few weeks. The social media giant says it's switching up the recipe that determines what pops up at the top of the feed.
Mark Zuckerberg says soon, you'll see more status updates from friends and family that ignite meaningful social exchanges and fewer posts from businesses, brands, media and celebrities you follow
The shift is all in an effort to deal with the growing controversy about the role Facebook plays in people's lives.
Think of it as clap back to critics who've said Facebook has been wasting time and causing drama for years.
For example, you know, when you scroll through Facebook aimlessly and before you know it an hour passes by and all you've done is watch a video on how to make chicken four ways? Yea, it's trying to end that and increase communication with others.
The company says, because of the changes, people might spend less time on Facebook and it might hurt publishers who rely on Facebook traffic but Zuckerberg says, they're willing to take that chance!

Winnie Stevenson (Roslin Heritage Society) continues her series of articles exploring Roslin Glen's flora and fauna 100 years ago.
"Those beautiful harbingers Of sunny skies and cloudless climes, enjoy
Life's newness and earth's garniture spread out."
The geranium family, though it embraces the fine showy plants of the garden and the greenhouse, has comparatively small blooms on the species that are to be found in a wild state. But they are all pretty flowers in symmetry of shape, in delicacy of colouring, and in the gracefulness of foliage.
Herb Robert is the best known of this family and it is abundant from end to end of the glen. After whom it is named is a matter for speculation. Some uphold the claims of the saint of that name, while others give the preference to Robert, Duke of Normandy, under whose patronage the old standard work, "Ortus Sanitatis," was written. More likely than either of these is the derivation from the Anglo-Saxon "rob," red, as the flower, as is also the case in Ragged Robin, is of a deep pink shade.
Crane's Bill is another name commonly bestowed on wild geraniums in general because of the peculiar shape of their seed cases or fruits and it is interesting to note that geranium is derived from the Greek word "geranos," meaning a crane. In this flower we may note again the distinct streaks on the petals – "honey guides," pointing the way to the glands where the sweet nectar is stored. The peculiarly shaped seed vessels shaped like the beak of a bird are so contrived that when ripe the seeds are shot away to a considerable distance from the parent plant.
Herb Robert grows neither tall nor rank, but by spreading out its side shoots and usurping as much space as possible it is enabled thus to hold its own in the struggle for existence. It is generally an annual.
"Not a flower
But shows some touch, in freckle, streak, or strain
Of Nature's purpose."
Our next subject is one that is familiar to all children with an inherent love of mischief. Who among them does not know Cleavers, with its myriads of tiny hooks all up the stem which has only to be thrown at anyone to cause it to adhere firmly to his coat?
It is a plant of many names – cleavers, goosegrass, gripgrass, Robin-run-the-hedge, and an "alias" from every locality. The names, cleavers and gripgrass, designate its habit of growth, for by means of its hooks, it is enabled to seize on other plants and by their support climbs upward to air and light.
Geese show a distinct liking for it, as indeed do cattle and horses, hence the name goosegrass, though of course it is not a grass at all.
It belongs to the Galium family and, like Lady's Mantle, it is said to have the property of colouring the bones of animals which feed upon it, while the juice of goosegrass used to be equally valuable as a substitute for rennet to curdle milk – Greek "gala" – milk.
Like the madders, too, goosegrass roots yield a good red dye. In olden days when tea and coffee were not such general commodities, the fruits of goosegrass, dried at the fire, made an excellent substitute for coffee, while a brew of the whole plant was considered equally as good as a cup of tea.
When we further take into account its medicinal properties as an ingredient in cooling spring drinks, as a remedy for poisons, for jaundice, as an external application for boils, etc., in place of a poultice, we can see that goosegrass would hold a high place in the regard of a bygone generation.
Its flowers are almost insignificant, being very small and of a nondescript greenish white tint. The petals do not form a tube, and hence the plant welcomes all kinds of tiny beetles and insects to distribute its pollen.
It resembles woodruff in foliage but its whorls of leaves are not so regularly disposed. Strictly speaking each whorl contains as a rule only two leaves and the rest of the whorl is said to consist of stipules which have taken the shape of true leaves and share equally in the work, but have neither buds nor branches springing from their axils.
As with Common Avens, goosegrass depends on animals for scattering the seeds and the round fruits cling to the woolly coats of sheep or the thick fur of rabbits and hares as they rub against them.
In this way they may be carried far enough away from the parent plant.
• This is the fourteenth in a series of articles about Roslin Glen, sourced by Winnie Stevenson (Roslin Heritage Society), which appeared in the Midlothian Journal in 1914.

Don't let hay fever spoil your summer
Did you know you don't need to see your GP for hay fever treatment?
Hay fever and seasonal allergy treatments such as tablets, eye drops and nasal sprays are all easily available at low cost from your local pharmacy – no prescription from your GP required!
Antihistamines are usually the best treatment for hay fever and these can easily be bought from local pharmacies or supermarkets.
NHS Greater Huddersfield and NHS North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) spend around £1.3 million on medicines that are readily available over-the-counter at low cost. By choosing inexpensive in-store brands, patients can buy their medicine for less than half the price the NHS pays when providing them on prescription. By going to the pharmacy you'll be saving yourself time and money, freeing up GP appointments for people with more urgent needs as well as doing your bit to help the NHS save money on unnecessary prescription costs.
For more information about treating allergies or to find your nearest pharmacy and opening
times visit: www.nhs.uk
Top tips to help ease hay fever symptoms:
- put Vaseline around your nostrils to trap pollen
- wear wraparound sunglasses to stop pollen getting into your eyes
- shower and change your clothes after you've been outside to wash pollen off
- stay indoors whenever possible
- keep windows and doors shut as much as possible
- vacuum regularly and dust with a damp cloth
- buy a pollen filter for the air vents in your car and a vacuum cleaner with a special HEPA filter

text: Some may claim that this book has been a showcase of case studies, without common thread. However, the common goal that runs through each of these cases is the focus on learning and the roles of learners and educators in learning activities. Do virtual worlds assist learning and do they create new opportunities? The answer from these analyses is "Yes" and this book demonstrates "how" to make use of the affordances of the virtual word of Second Life as it exists today. Yet, many questions remain both for practitioners and researchers. To give some examples: On what principles should learners' tasks be designed, who are doing research on education in virtual worlds and what is the future of virtual worlds in a learning context? In this chapter we attempt to address some of these issues.

"Sometimes when a human is truly an animal, their thinking patterns shift in fundamental ways, absorbing the color here and the systems within systems, to the point where they feel alienated from humans and the human part of themselves. The ache and dizziness of pulling these back into an integrated body and psychology is a story only a few of us can tell. Luckily, Chelsea Biondolillo is here to walk us through that process with no apology, only reverence."
"Birds fill this book. But The Skinned Bird is also full of music, silence, rain, deserts and desertion. Chelsea Biondolillo shows us through science, memory, an updraft of questioning, and a flicker of answers how we learn and relearn how to sing. Like the space feathers need between them, Biondolillo gives us the space inside these essays for the air to flow and lift. Don't worry if there is a pause. Biondolillo will stitch you in. The Skinned Bird is a brilliant dive into how deeply we can love people and place and dirt and birds and air. And how we sometimes have to let go of all of that to truly fly."
Dana Diehl: In this book, you use birds to reflect on your life. Why do you think birds have such power over you? Why do you think they illuminate your life more effectively than other animals might?
Chelsea Biondolillo: Birds live on every continent. They have incredible diversity of size, shape, color, and behaviors. When I travel, birds are one way I know I'm somewhere new (mockingbirds in Arizona, scrub jays in Oregon, rheas in Chile, tuis in New Zealand, and European cuckoos in Austria). And while they are unlike people in nearly every way, they feature frequently in our metaphors and clichés across cultures and throughout history. This means they can always be found somewhere in the periphery of any story I want to tell.
Practically, I live with a lot of anxiety and attendant depression, and birds are one way for my brain to get some perspective. They remind me about all I can't know and can't control, about all the things I can't see (like geomagnetic navigational lines) and will probably never understand (like why Oregon has a hummingbird that doesn't migrate). It doesn't always work, but sometimes looking for a bird can help me to break out of panic states.
DD: As long as I've known your writing—about five years now—you've been writing about and researching birds. It makes me wonder, which came first? The birds or the writing? Did these passions develop independently of each other, or have they always been intertwined? Or has one fed the other?
CC: I started actively writing after I lost my corporate job in 2008, and my first publications came the following year—short travel essays on a couple of blogs, some sidebar pieces for glossy mags, and a handful of book reviews. One of my first essays published in a real literary magazine, though, was about starlings. It was the runner up in Diagram's hybrid essay contest in 2011. That same year, according to my Submittable rejection history, I was sending out a piece on red-winged blackbirds (which eventually appeared in Birding in 2014) and one on hummingbirds (landed in Phoebe, 2012). I remember printing a bunch of peer-reviewed papers on big cats when I got to grad school in 2011, because I wasn't sure I wanted to be the bird lady, but nothing has so far come of those. My thesis was full of birds and I still like writing about them.
My grandmother was an avid birder, and much of my reading and creative pursuits were encouraged by her—so I think there's some creative-muscle memory there, but also there's a lot of science available about birds, and so when I had a bird question (like, why do starlings mimic, or are hummingbirds really headed toward extinction), there was easy information to find and mostly approachable experts to interrogate. In that sense, birds helped me become a more interesting writer.
DD: The essays in this book vary widely in form. What do you enjoy, or what is useful, about shifting forms?
CB: My undergraduate degree is in photography, but that's only because my alma mater hadn't yet created a mixed media studio major. In art school, I sewed books and glued tiny tarot cards on the pages. I built boxes and filled them with broken ceramics. I took photos and transferred them to watercolor paper. I was always looking for my form—and it turns out it was in a different discipline! Playing with text and form in my essays is one way I am continuing that collage/mixed media process. Experimenting with line breaks or balancing small text blocks with images (or obscuring text with photos) allows me to view an essay as a visual composition or even as an object—which means I can consider how I hope to reach a reader and a viewer, both.
DD: In "The Story You Never Tell," fifteen lovely, stark, black-and-white photographs of seashells block out fifteen pages of text. The words that creep around the edges of the photographs are ominous and evocative. What was it like to write this piece? Did you know you'd cover it up as you wrote it? If so, how did that affect the experience of writing it?
CB: That essay was originally written as a "regular" essay, but after a few rounds of revision, it still didn't feel done. I wanted a way to redact the textual specificity without turning it into a MadLib that readers would want to solve like a puzzle. As an art student, I often incorporated words, phrases, or even pages of text in my work, and as a result, had many conversations with my instructors about how readability can negatively impact a composition. (Reading the text was not supposed to be the point in painting class.) I wanted to play with that idea—how much text would it take to make clear that what the viewer was seeing was an essay, without the content of the essay taking over? I was inspired by works from painter Titus Kaphar and texts like Salvador Plascencia's The People of Paper, which feature elements of concealment / or otherwise hiding one or more parts of a composition to highlight another. I tried out several methods of obscuring the text, including other imagery, before settling on portraits of seashells from both my and my grandmother's shell collections.
And while the resulting piece can't be "solved" through reading (so it's not like I can spoil it), I am worried that too much talk about the hows/whys of writing it could dictate a new reader's experience of it in ways that I want to avoid. In that regard, it could be sort of a spoiler to say too much more about it.
DD: You mention several animals that have occupied your life: the cats, the geese, the insects, the dogs, the mockingbirds. Who are the important animals if your life right now, both wild and domestic?
CB: I'm living in the home my grandparents built, and one of the artifacts my grandmother left behind was a stack of birding journals. Over several years she tracked every bird she saw every day—most from her own picture window. It's been weird and amazing to read her journal and see which birds are still regularly appearing at the feeders my partner puts out, and which seem rare now. We delight in seeing downy woodpeckers and varied thrushes, and often see bald eagles in the neighborhood—something I do not remember from my childhood.
As far as non-bird obsessions go, the other inhabitants of this place, the rabbits, snakes, deer, and hordes of ravenous insects (they got about half of my kitchen garden last year and would love back into our house's fir posts and beams) and their boom-bust seasonal cycles are one of my areas of focus right now, for both practical and creative reasons. But also, I've also become much more aware of plants, as I'm currently surrounded by two acres of formerly neglected landscape. What thrives on neglect, and what literally withers and dies without care is of considerable interest to my gardening decisions.
DD: If you could disappear off the grid for a year and immerse yourself in the study of a single species that you haven't already devoted a lot of time to, where would you go? What would you study?
CB: Being back on the West Coast has reminded me how much I love the Pacific. Rather than any single species, I'm often interested in systems, and the relationship between sea lions, salmon, and fishermen out here (and its current lack of balance) intrigues me. Sea lions have been seen on local rivers, over a hundred miles from the ocean, and are posing major risks to steelhead numbers, which impacts recreation and ecology. I'm drawn to stories that seem to have easy answers—over fishing or oceanic pollution in this case—but upon review, have complicating factors, like, are the sea lions starving at sea, or are they exploiting ready food sources inland? I'd have to see a lot of the Northwest and North coasts to be able to draw any reasonable conclusions—and that would be a wonderful way to spend a year.
DD: If you could be reborn as a bird, which bird would you like to be?
CB: Probably a crow. They seem to watch out for one another and have a good time when they can.
DD: What is something you are obsessed with right now? It could be a hobby, a TV show, a dish, anything.
CB: I am deep into sweater knitting, having finally settled down somewhere that is at least chilly for much of the year. Since moving back to Oregon, I've finished nearly half a dozen, and I have a dark green wool pullover on the needles right now.

Audio Transcript Christmastime is a great time to talk about evil.
I hope everyone is having a good and cheery and reflective advent and Christmas season. Merry Christmas to you!
I figured this season would be a good time to talk about evil because that makes sense, right? Presents and gifts and tinsel and a little baby in a manger, and... evil. They all fit together, right?
Well, actually, in a surprising way I think they do.
If you read the Christmas story, you are struck by the fact that even if it were a fictional story, it's an actual good story. There are heroes and villains, and there's suspense and drama because what we see in the Christmas story is that a ruler tried to prevent it from happening.
Herod, hearing of the birth of Jesus, whom the wise men wanted to go worship, sets out to actually kill all of the boys that would be the age of Jesus. So there's even evil in the Christmas story, the Christmas account. "Story" is an interested word because often stories are what we tell our children before bed, and they're fictitious. Now, we can also talk about true stories, but sometimes it's actually more helpful to use the word account, or to at least clarify when we're talking with someone that we think this thing that we're talking about from the Bible, this "Bible story" actually happened. It's an account, like you would read in some sort of testimony. It's recorded for us to understand events that actually took place in time.
So as a part of the Christmas account, or story, there's even evil in it. Evil is not far from Christmas, but there's a greater point to be made here. I actually think if someone raises the problem of evil around the Christmas season, it's fair to ask them, "What do you mean by evil?" In fact, we should ask this question all of the time when someone complains about evil in the world. There are a couple different paths we could go. We could actually talk about evil as a philosophical notion, what it is and how is it grounded?
What makes something evil, and the idea that evil is actually kind of the opposite of good and you can't have good without God. So to complain about evil actually presupposes the existence of God. We've talked about that numerous times before because the problem of evil is probably the most common objection to Christianity, both from Christians in their internal struggle with this, which is understandable, and from non-Christians.
But there's another way to talk about evil. I actually think we should, perhaps, do this more often than we talk about it abstractly when we're trying to get to the gospel in a conversation. Here's what I mean:
It's easy to talk about evil out in the world. Look at the wars in the Middle East, or look at genocides in Africa, or things like that. It's a totally different sort of thing, oftentimes, for a person to consider the evil that exists in their own heart. So I think it's fair to ask the person, "What is evil to you? Could you give me some examples also?" (Those are different questions.) Perhaps they give you examples like rape and murder, and genocide and things like that, but you could also ask about theft and lying. Have you done those things? Have you committed things that even on your own definition would be evil?
Of course, the person, if they're honest, will have to say, "Yes." Then, this is where we can point out that, "You know what? Evil is not just an out-there problem, is it? It's a problem in my heart. It's a problem actually in your heart by your own admission. We all have done evil things," and so the problem of evil is not an abstract problem. It's a very personal problem because it effects us all. This person probably believes evil should be punished, or they wouldn't have brought the complaint is that God doesn't do something about evil. Well if God should do something about evil, then shouldn't God do something about the evil I have committed? If I have committed evil, that means I am guilty of committing evil.
What should happen to guilty people? Wouldn't it actually be an act of evil not to punish guilty people? The answer would have to be yes. If someone is a just judge, they punish crimes. They punish evil things. If you're an unjust judge, you let guilty people go free. That's what happens in corrupt countries where the judicial system and the legal system is corrupted as criminals run the counrty, because justice is not done and evil is not punished.
We all revolt and cry out against that when we hear of that sort of thing. It is an intrinsic reaction in the human heart that justice should be done. So when we're talking with someone who complains about evil, we can ask them, "Should evil be punished? Should people who hurt other people be punished? Should they be made to pay for their crimes?" I think the answer is going to be yes if they're honest. We need to also remember and point out that this means their crimes deserve to be punished. Our crimes deserve to be punished, and therein brings us to Christmas.
Here, we find our passage for today in Matthew 1:18, which says,
"Now, the birth of Jesus Christ happened this way. While his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and because he didn't want to disgrace her, he intended to divorce her privately. When he had contemplated this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.'"
This is key.
"'She will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus because he will save his people from their sins.'"
Isn't that interesting? In spite of the evil that was even done before the birth of Christ and after the birth of Christ in that Christmas narrative, what we see is that the reason Jesus came into the world is so closely tied with evil. He actually comes to save people from their sins. What is sin? Evil.Perhaps, a more personal term for evil.
It's easy to talk about evil as an abstract notion like we've talked about, but when we talk about it as sin, well sin seems more connected to a justly deserving punishment that's required for it. Sin is something I do. Sin is something you do. So right here, when the angel is cluing Joseph and Mary in on the birth of Jesus, he's telling them explicitly why Jesus came, and it's related to the problem of evil. So Christmas is a very important step in God's plan to do away with evil.
Easter, you could also say, is part of God's plan to do away with evil, so when people complain about evil, let's not just talk about it as this abstract notion. Let's talk about it and use it as a bridge to the gospel, to the Christian story of reality. In the Christmas story, right here, we're told what it all means, and why did this baby came and why we celebrate this season around December and December 25th? We're told that it is part of God's plan to do away with evil, to do away with sin, to save people from their sin because remember, evil is sin. Sin requires punishment because a just judge will punish evil, and only an unjust and evil judge doesn't punish evil.
So we, who have committed sin, justly deserve punishment from God, and yet this is where we have to go a little beyond the Christmas story, right? We have to actually go to Easter and what Paul tells us looking backwards about what happened there in terms of filling out the gospel, but that's when we have the opportunity to say, "Jesus came to save you from your sins." That implies you have sins that you need to be saved from, and here's how he did that:
He didn't just come at Christmas. He goes to the cross at Easter, and at Easter we celebrate the fullness of what Christ actually came to accomplish and started accomplishing here at Christmas. So this Christmas season, I would encourage you, if you're paying attention when people talk, and you're talking with non-Christians, and they talk about evil, use that as a bridge to the Christmas story. If people are talking about Christmas, and you know they are non-Christian, use that as a bridge to talk about evil to then talk about the gospel, and even Easter.
These things link together biblically and scripturally, and we should link them together in our conversation to show that the same baby who came in a manger was not just a baby. He was the King, but he's also a savior. He's the Savior of people who place their trust in him because all of us have a sin problem. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God in Jesus Christ— that baby who came in a manger—is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Everyone who calls on the name of that baby in a manger—who grew to be a man, who was truly God and truly man, who went to the cross and died for sin—will be saved.
That's the good news of Christmas. Not simply that a baby came. That's exciting, but it's that a baby came to die and save his people from their sins. If Easter hadn't happened, Christmas would be unimportant. It would be unimpressive. Another baby born, oh that's great. But this baby is important and special because from the very beginning, as we're told here in Matthew, he will save his people from their sins.
Let's not just talk about evil as something out in the world. Let's always make it personal for the person, and this season, connect it to Christmas. It's a great segue because Jesus came to deal with evil. If Jesus does not deal with your evil, you will have to deal for your evil. The punishment of sin is justly death from a just judge. People need to understand that, that Christmas is only a happy time, in some ways, for those who are in Christ.
For everyone else, it should remind us that the baby who came in the world is the King who will come back to judge the world in righteousness. We must present both of those. A gospel with only the happy parts is not the gospel. The good news is only good news if you understand the bad news. So let's make evil a personal thing in love, in kindness and out of concern for people, and out of worship and love for God, that more people would come to praise Him and appreciate what He came to do thousands of years ago in a manger and ultimately on a cross.
Well, I'll talk with you next week on Unapologetic.

Good morning. This is LEADOFF, the early buzz in Atlanta sports.
The Hawks are asking fans for input on the planned renovation of Philips Arena.
In a survey posted on social media and the team's website, the Hawks list "possible aspects" of the renovation and ask fans to rank them from 1 ("not at all exciting") to 10 ("very exciting").
The list provides a glimpse of the possibilities the Hawks and their architects have in mind:
— Remove the top two levels of suites and replace them with additional seating for the general public.
— Add a new center scoreboard and additional new video screens in corners of the arena.
— Add different types of seats throughout the arena, such as small, semi-private boxes, flexible spaces and social spaces with a view of the arena floor.
— Remove the overhang from the upper level so that all lower level seats will have a clear view of the arena floor and screens.
— Improved lighting, graphics and way-finding signs.
— Additional bar and social areas with a direct view of the arena floor.
— Improved food and beverage locations, concepts and variety.
— 360-degree access, being able to walk around the entire arena without having to turn around.
The survey also asks: What else would you like to see in a renovation of Philips Arena?
Among numerous other questions, the online survey asks fans to name their favorite Philips feature "that you would definitely like to see in place after the renovation" and to name a feature currently missing "that you would most like to see."
The Hawks and the City of Atlanta announced Nov. 1 that they had come to terms on a deal for a $192.5 million renovation of the 17-year-old arena. The agreement calls for taxpayers to pay $142.5 million, or almost 75 percent, of the renovation cost.

For an overview of the new National Curriculum expectations, please see the relevant year group on the classes tab.
Language is the creation, communication, interpretation and understanding of meaning. We believe that literacy and communication are key life skills and that through the English curriculum we should help children develop the skills and knowledge that will enable them to communicate effectively and creatively with the world at large, through spoken and written language. We also intend to help children to enjoy and appreciate literature and its rich variety.
We use Accelarated Reading which calculates a reading level for the children and a range of fiction and non-fiction books can then by matched to the childrens' level. Parents are encourage to register for e-mail alerts to show when their child has finished a book and completed a quiz.
Reading books are sent home regualry. KS1 use a mixture of Oxford Reading Tree book, project X books and other age approriate books. When appropriate, children are given books at their level using the AR system.
For writing, we use a range of stimuli from quality texts, video clips and short films to Talk for Writing. Children love to tell stories and at St Cuthbert's, we ensure that they are exposed to a range of different stories through talk for writing activities. The children use specific actions for key vocabulary and are orally taught a story, using the actions to help them remember the structure. Story-mapping, paired story-telling, hot-seating, conscience alley and story strings are just some of the many ways in which children internalise these stories and learn more about characterisation and plot. Furthermore, the actions are also used to learn non-fiction texts such as non-chronological reports and instruction writing.
A new spelling app. It covers all the statutory spellings for year 3-6 and it's free! SpellFix
Phonics is taught daily and we follow the letter and sounds programme for this supplemented by the website phonics play.
All spellings are now in-line with the requiremnts of the National Curriculum.

Creative directors of Public School, Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne – recent former Creative Directors of DKNY, introduced the 2017 Fall/Winter collection as a well attended to and thought out line up, with political messages and slogans evoking a rallying cry for change.

We will be taking a lot of confidence and self-belief into Saturday's home game against Melbourne Heart.
After two wins away from home and three games undefeated, we will be taking a lot of confidence and self-belief into Saturday-s home game against Melbourne Heart.
The entire team contributed during our fantastic 5-2 win over Sydney FC on Sunday. It is fair to say all our players have played their part in the success over the last month and it is nice to see all the hard work paying off.
With this year being Jobe-s (Wheelhouse) seventh with the Club, whilst we expect a lot from our captain on and off the field, since returning from injury he has been calm and has controlled the midfield well for us.
All the boys respect their captain and it is great to have his experience back in the team at this important time of year.
The experience of Frannie (Jeffers) and (Michael) Bridgey is also doing wonders for the team, they are a different kind of player. They are clever and read the game really well with the ability to find space and create opportunities for Jeremy Brockie, Ryan Griffiths and Tarek Elrich.
We are expecting some tough competition from the Heart this weekend. Last time we came across this team we did not fair too well and are looking forward to the opportunity to redeem ourselves in front of our Members and supporters. Hopefully the end result it one similar to when we played them at Hunter Stadium in Week 1, when we took the 3-points.
Heart have played pretty much the same way each week; they are very mobile and have some skilful players in the front third. They have also recently added some experience to their squad with the signing of former Socceroo Paul Reid.
We know exactly what we have to do to beat them on Saturday and it is up to us to not only match what they bring but also go one better to remain undefeated in four matches.
The League is very tight and we have to keep working hard so we remain in finals contention.
We hope to have all our Members and supporters in the stands of Hunter Stadium this Saturday night.

Why Assumptions About 'Rising Inequality' Are Wrong

Sudanese sex offender who targeted 13-year-old girl to be paid COMPENSATION because of delays in attempts to deport him
- 25-year-old was jailed for four years in 2008 for sex offence
- After sentence he remained behind bars during deportation fight
- Fought against deportation, claiming his human rights would be violated
- Court of Appeal orders compensation for 'unlawful' detention
A foreign criminal jailed for sex offences against schoolgirls is to receive damages after a court ruled he had been held for too long while ministers tried to kick him out of Britain.
The 25-year-old man from Sudan, known as 'JS', was handed a four-year sentence in 2008 after luring 13 and 14-year-old schoolgirls to a house for sex but he remained behind bars when his sentence came to an end.
But the the fury of the Home Office today the Court of Appeal ruled that eight months of his detention was 'unreasonable and unlawful'.
Compensation: The convicted sex offender is to receive damages from the UK government after claiming he could not be deported to Sudan (file picture)
He claimed he could not be deported because he was a member of the persecuted Zaghawa tribe from Darfur.
His family were subjected to intolerable treatment by the majority population of the area, he said.
JS was detained for just over two years while the Home Office tried to deport him after his sentence in a young offenders' institution came to an end.
Today the court ruled: 'His past criminal offending, of itself, cannot be any justification for implementing or extending his time in immigration detention'.
The judges said the administrative delays were unaccounted for - 'the lack of any explanation makes difficult to hold that the period of detention was reasonable'.
Now London's High Court will decide how much he should be paid in damages, if the figure cannot be agreed between the Home Office and JS's lawyers.
But the Home Office is now examining all options to appeal against the ruling.
A spokesman said: 'We are extremely disappointed with the court's decision. We believe it is right that dangerous individuals are kept in detention, wherever possible, in order to protect the public.
'We will continue to seek to deport individuals who show a complete disregard for the laws of this country.'
In January this year JS's demand for compensation was dismissed on all grounds by Deputy High Court judge Philip Mott.
But Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls, sitting with Lord Justice McFarlane and Lady Justice Sharp, has unanimously ruled his appeal must succeed.
Lord Justice McFarlane said Judge Mott had made 'significant errors' when he rejected the claim.
The court claimed Judge Mott (pictured) had made 'significant errors' when he rejected the compensation claim earlier this year
JS arrived in the UK in November 2004, hidden in the back of a lorry. Then apparently aged 16, the immigration authorities immediately discovered his presence in the UK and he claimed asylum.
The claim was rejected in January 2005 on the basis that it was 'vague, unsubstantiated and lacking in detail'.
However because of his youth, he was given discretionary leave to remain in the UK until his 18th birthday, which was assumed to fall in October 2006.
He made a further application to remain in the UK for 'humanitarian protection', and the immigration authorities told him his claim would be considered under the Legacy Programme in due course.
But in May 2007 he was arrested and charged with serious sexual offences against children and remanded in custody.
In February 2008 he was convicted of two 'sample' offences of sexual activity with a 13-year-old schoolgirl and sentenced to four years in a young offenders' institution.
The judge said: 'He, together with four others, had lured schoolgirls to a house for the purposes of sexual activity. The three girls involved were aged 13 or 14.'
JS was sentenced on the basis that they were planned offences, and he knew the girl's age.
The judge who sentenced him expressly said that 'the three girls were targeted by the group of five males' and recommended that JS be deported.
His prison sentence came to an end in May 2009, but JS continued to be held for another two years pending while is deportation was examined.
In March 2010 a caseworker concluded he was Sudanese, allowing him to appeal against his deportation on human rights grounds.
He won his case on Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects him against deportation to a country where he could face inhuman and degrading treatment.
The appeal judge said it had already been accepted 'that if JS was a non-Arab Darfuri then, because of what was known of the likely treatment of members of that ethnic group in Sudan, it would not be possible to enforce his automatic deportation'.
Ruling: The Court of Appeal ruled that JS's detention for several months had been 'unreasonable and therefore unlawful'
The judge also said case law meant that people facing deportation could only be held under immigration laws while there was a realistic prospect of removal, and it was unlawful to continue holding them because of unreasonable delays in processing their cases.
JS had remained on immigration detention for some 15 months pending consideration of whether he should be deported.
During the 12-month period, from August 2009 to August 2010, when his bid to avoid automatic deportation was under consideration, 'administrative activity' in the case was 'unaccounted for'.
The judge said: 'The secretary of state has wholly failed to file any evidence purporting to provide an account for those periods.'
The decision whether to exempt JS from automatic deportation was a serious and important decision that should not have been rushed - 'but it required processing in a proportionate manner having regard to the fact that JS was deprived of his liberty for the duration of the decision making period'.
The judge ruled: 'It is plain to me that at least two thirds of the 12 month period, and therefore eight months, can only be seen as falling on the unreasonable side of the line, and I would therefore hold that eight months of the total period of 15 months in immigration detention was unreasonable and therefore unlawful'.

Everywhere I am I see something beautiful or unusual and think to myself, that would make a great picture..I wish I had my camera! In fact the banner on my blog is one such picture that I thankfully had my camera on hand for. Those tulips caught my eye and I thought it was a perfect shot to showcase the beauty of spring.
Photography runs through my blood. My grandfather and great great grandfather were both awesome photographers, and I grew up around great photos. My great great grandfather, whom I never knew but saw his work, had his studio in Pawnee, Oklahoma. He was the first person to shoot the famous Pawnee Bill.
My Papa, my mom's father, had a dark room down in his basement, and every summer I would descend the narrow cement staircase to the smells of musty darkness and developing chemicals. It was a wonderful place of discovery for a toddler to a teen. My Papa enlarged photos before any one else did. He was also an inventor and made his own technology to blow up photos and play with the art of photography.
My sophomore year in college, my Papa passed away. I held him in my arms as he went to be home with Jesus. I only pray he knew that I was with him in his last few minutes on this earth. It was one of the most traumatic things I had gone through and afterwards, I did anything I could to feel close to him again. I took what ever photography classes were offered at my university. Since I was a Mass Communications major, it was easily applied as credits toward my degree.
I started with beginner photography and dark room techniques…not only did it remind me of my youth in that dark basement discovering the art of pictures but it gave me a peace that my grandfather was watching over me. Now, looking back, another reason I'm glad I took those beginner courses is because of how prehistoric those development techniques are becoming with the ease of digital photography these days.
I'm that girl that has always had some sort of camera…from a simple 35mm point and click to, just recently, aDigital Rebel Xti. I'm the one that is always the one shooting pics at all events with every angle imaginable in my mind, of what would make a great shot. Although writing is my first love, photography is a close second if not a tie for first. As I get older I have more people asking me for copies of my pictures and offering to pay me for them, which is making me seriously consider starting up a second business on the side. I'm thinking of taking my passion for photography and turn it into a little extra revenue. I think it would do my grandfather…Papa….proud.
See one of my other blogs to see a few shots of some recent pictures I've taken and tell me what you think!
