The Gaslighter
It happened again today. A song reminded me of her and I got so sad. It's always songs, isn't it? And most of them aren't even ones she would know or recognize as relating to her, but the lyrics describe some indefinable element of our friendship that until that moment had been ambiguous to even me. Memories pour into my brain like water filling an empty cup.
A few years ago, I was hurt badly by this friend. It was the kind of hurt that makes me remember every other time in my life when I've been wounded and wonder if I'm destined to go through life repeating that pattern. Like I have a sign on my back that reads: "Please. Hurt me. No, really. Don't hold back."
This is the pain of betrayal. I no longer feel understood on a level that goes deeper than words. I don't constantly experience the power of what I believed to be her confidence in me, flowing through me like warm milk. I have to grieve what I trusted was the experience of being accepted for exactly who I was, right then — and at the same time, relying on someone who I knew had a vision for who I could become. I would have bet my life on it — and I would have been wrong.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the way I felt when we were together. When I was with her, I felt like I was living out the ideal version of myself. It still feels at times as if a dream died when the light of our friendship was finally extinguished. And this was the dream: When she and I were friends, I never felt alone. Ever. Not for a single second. If she was the flame, I was the moth — irresistibly drawn to her intensity and potential. She lit the world up in a way that made me feel like I was significant, simply because we were friends.
Despite the euphoric emotions I often had when I was with my friend, she was also one of the most manipulative people I've ever met. She was what's called a "gaslighter."
This term "gaslighter" comes from the 1944 Ingrid Bergman film Gaslight, where an evil husband tricks and manipulates his wife into thinking she is insane. From the film's title, "gaslighting" acquired the meaning of ruthlessly and deviously manipulating an individual into believing something other than the truth for their own selfish purposes.
There was little to no reciprocity in our friendship. My requests were too inconvenient or my emotions were overly messy or my fears were inappropriately irrational. She couldn't suspend her own agenda or allow me to be needy or give me credit. If she wasn't getting anything out of our phone conversation or lunch or relationship that helped her in ways that mattered to her, then she didn't prioritize it. Ultimately, I couldn't keep the pilot light lit all by myself.
For awhile our relationship worked because on some level, I decided that I needed to tolerate anything, and that I had the power to fix everything. I made up a vision of myself as able to transform any situation, if only I did things right.
While our friendship is no longer, forgiving her is still a frightening concept. In her book, The Friends We Keep, Sarah Zacharias Davis writes:
What makes forgiveness difficult? I suppose the memory of the wrong lingers, and so does the hurt. Perhaps we are fearful that the wrong will go unpunished and that the one who hurt us won't realize the depth of our hurt. Maybe if she is forgiven, she won't regret what she did as long as we believe she should. By the act of forgiveness, are we giving up a grudge that is our right to bear? And perhaps we are afraid of being hurt again.
One of my fears about forgiveness is that it invites the other person to keep doing what they did to me over and over again, indefinitely into the future for as long as they want, while I just take it like Teflon.
But I once read something that said: "Forgiveness is giving up all hope of a better past." I liked that. It made me think of forgiving someone as part of putting the past behind and moving on. Ideas like this help me to believe that it's possible to forgive someone without necessarily agreeing to anything yet to come.
Author Margaret Feinberg says, "The times in life when I get the most hurt in relationships, the moments when I am most tempted to pull back, are when my expectations are out of line. When I expect someone to respond in one way and they choose another, I get disappointed or hurt."
Then she gives this advice: Drop your expectations. Try and remember that people cannot give what they do not have.
In a nutshell, that's what happened with my friend and me. I realized that she could not give me what she did not have.
I still grieve that she didn't have it. I wished she did like I wish for my children to have character or my husband to have success. But she wasn't able to be there for me when I needed her, despite my life at times feeling like it revolved around hers.
I suppose there may always be songs that will remind me of her. But with each memory, I hope the pain of betrayal is overshadowed by the beauty of forgiveness.
When Doing Justly, Loving Mercy, and Walking Humbly Stand at Odds
If your compassion far exceeds your capacity, here's one way you can be sure to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.
One of my life verses is Micah 6:8, "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
It is one of my favorite verses because my heart has been so moved by the love Jesus has for me and the sacrifice He made for me that I am grateful to have a way to express my gratitude through acts of justice and mercy while walking humbly with God.
I have found at times, however, the call to do justice and love mercy come in conflict with the call to walk humbly with God. For me, one of the ways to walk humbly with God is to recognize my limitations. I have to put skin to the fact that I am not God which means saying, "no" to ministry requests. It means going to sleep when I could be spending time advocating for the harrowed and helpless in the world. It means limited seats at my table, limited funds in my bank account, and limited energy in my body cannot be ignored but respected and adhered to.
This is hard for me at times, especially when I scroll my Facebook feed and see friends who are caring for their really sick children, spouse, or other family member all while millions of refugees flee war torn countries and babies are slaughtered by the hundreds each day in our country through the abortion industry.
As I scroll, I receive texts about one family member's surgery gone wrong and another family member announcing a new baby is on the way. I have in mind my neighbor who has inpatient surgery scheduled this week and another neighbor who is trying to hold down a full-time job, care for twins all while battling profound "morning" sickness.
Folks at church are fighting for their lives in physical and spiritual ways, and strangers who pass me on the road are clearly battling something as demonstrated by their impatient honking because I won't take a right turn on red. I want to meet the needs of all; I want to do justice and love mercy, but I'm daily confronted by the fact that I am so limited.
What am I to do when doing justly and/or loving mercy seem to come in conflict with walking humbly with my God?
God keeps bringing me to this answer: prayer.
God invites us to cast our cares before Him because He cares for us.
God tells us to be anxious for nothing BUT WITH PRAYER present our requests before Him.
God commands us to pray without ceasing.
And, when I walk humbly with God, I see the immense kindness in His command.
He gives us a way to do justly, love mercy WHILE walking humbly with Him.
It is by praying without ceasing.
I cannot take a meal or give money to every sick person or family I know. I cannot extend kindness to all my neighbors all at the same time they're in need nor conjure up sustainable solutions for the refugee crisis and contact all the necessary world powers to make it happen.
I cannot heal all, but I know the Healer.
I cannot provide for all the needs, but I know the Provider.
I cannot rescue everyone in need, but I know the Rescuer.
I cannot comfort all the broken, but I know the Comforter.
I cannot speak peace over every situation, but I know the Prince of Peace.
I cannot be all to all, but I can go to the Great I Am through prayer, lay all the people, problems and pleas for help before the Omniscient and Omnipresent God of all Creation.
I can do this through prayer.
Recently, via an Instagram contest of all things, I came upon A–Z prayer cards designed by blogger/author/speaker, Amelia Rhodes. It is a simple concept packed with a powerful prayer punch. It has served me personally in this tension of wanting to do far more than I practically can do. It provides prayer prompts starting with each letter of the alphabet along with a scripture that coincides with the prayer focus. It ranges from Adoption to a creative "Zero Prejudice" for the letter "Z."
The cards are well thought out, color printed on sturdy cardstock with blank lines for the user to write in the names of people and/or organizations that are personal to them.
If, like me, your compassion far exceeds your capacity, pick up a set of these prayer cards and unload your burdens onto a God whose competence matches His kindness, both boundless.
Facing Our Fears in Motherhood
Do you have fears tied to motherhood? If so, here's encouragement for you.
"Are you scared?"
I was taken aback by his question. Scared? Of what?
"Of anything," he answered.
I had just shared my due date with a new class of trainees.
"He has three boys," another new hire volunteered. So fear is to be expected, I reasoned. I'm just about to face the most frightening experience in my life.
Of course I was scared.
I was scared…
- I'll lose my temper.
- I'll whine about sleepless nights.
- I'll breastfeed too often or not often enough.
- I'll leave piles of unfolded onesies in the middle of the nursery floor because I'm too tired (or lazy?) to fold teeny-tiny baby clothes for the upteenth time.
- I'll go with disposable diapers when the better choice would be cloth.
- I'll work too many long hours at the office and miss precious moments with her.
- I'll sign her up for too many activities and push her to become Miss Achieve-It-All.
- I'll pass on to her my ugly pride, self-righteousness, and perfectionism like a dreadful contagious disease.
- I'll miss countless little joys in life while pursuing worthless dreams.
In short… I was afraid I was going to fail miserably as a parent.
And now, holding my second-born daughter in my arms, thinking back on that brief exchange just a few years ago, I realize those fears were well-founded. I've failed many times. I've lost my temper. I've raised my voice. I've worked too much and played too little. I've seen my own sinfulness reflected in my daughter.
Yes, I've failed, but over and above it all, God's grace has covered my parenting imperfections and made me run to the cross day after day. The writer of Proverbs puts it this way:
Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.
Proverbs 14:26
When it comes to fears, we have two choices: Will we fear the unknown or will we fear the Lord? Will we allow the uncertain to grip us in its clutch or will we turn to God's Truth to set us free?
Scared? Oh yeah. There was so much to be scared of that day. And even now, if I'm completely honest, there are still fears nibbling at the edges of my consciousness. Fear that we won't outgrow the temper tantrums. Fear that the two girls won't get along. Fear that I'll mess them up and cause them interminable hours on a psychologist's couch.
I'm sure you have fears, too.
But rather than allow those fears to consume and paralyze us, we can take them to the Lord, acknowledging His sovereignty over our parenting, pleading His grace over our mistakes, and entrusting His provision over their futures. He is not only able to handle it all — He is far more capable to be trusted with it all.
If I say one thing to that frightened 9-month-pregnant me standing in that room years ago, I would say this: Don't let fear rob today's joy with tomorrow's unknowns. Each day has enough worries of its own (Matthew 6:34).
Instead, let us keep seeking God, running to Him as our secure fortress and resting in the knowledge that He will care for us and our children one day at a time.
What are you scared of today? Name your fears and bring them to the Lord, allowing Him to replace them with His peace that passes all understanding.
He Gives Shade To The Weary
If anxiety is a struggle for you right now, remember that He gives shade to the weary.
Do you ever have those moments of fear because you don't know what lies ahead? When do those thoughts tend to happen to you?
For me, most of those thoughts happen when I lay my head down to sleep at night. The vulnerability comes forth every time. That's what happened the other night to me. I shut my eyes and immediately anxiety welled up inside me.
What if we don't succeed in this new venture? What if we have to move? What if we can't pay our bills?
I laid there with the covers drawn tight over my head (I still think that I am safer if the covers are over my head), praying scripture over my anxious heart. Assuring myself that God sees me and that He cares.
In the morning, I turned to Isaiah 41, specifically verses 10-20.
"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10, NASB)
Yesterday, the "what if's" piled up as I anxiously looked about me. My daughter needs tutoring, however at this point in life, tutoring feels like a luxury we can't afford. So I listed some items online to sell hoping to make just enough to cover the tutoring. I'm buying groceries on a Visa reward card. I'm holding my breath until the next paycheck comes. But what did God speak over me: Do not fear. Do not look anxiously about you.
"For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.' Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel; I will help you," declares the Lord, "and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:13-14 NASB)
Why shouldn't I be anxious? Because God will hold me up. God will help me. When I first read the word "worm" as a description, I took it as a slam against Israel. Like, gesh, God. What animal does He relate me to? But through further study, He calls them a worm because worms are helpless. They are viewed as insignificant, despised and weak. God will help me — seemingly insignificant, helpless me — because He is my Redeemer. He is my go'el — my next of kin. The Redeemer is the one who provides for all my needs. Rent. Car payment. Credit card bill. Gas. Food. Clothes. Debt. God will redeem.
"Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges; You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them, And will make the hills like chaff. You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, And the storm will scatter them; But you will rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:15-16 NASB).
God is transforming me from a helpless one to a powerful one. The description of that type of threshing sledge is like a modern day earth mover. Powerful. Strong. Immovable.
"The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none, And their tongue is parched with thirst; I, the Lord, will answer them Myself, As the God of Israel I will not forsake them." (Isaiah 41:17, NASB)
He will come to our rescue. God, Himself, will answer you and me. Can you hear how personal that sounds? Have you ever pleaded with someone important whether your boss, public figure, or even a parent, and they responded to the need themselves? You expected for them to send their assistant, but instead they — the most important one — responded to you.
"I will open rivers on the bare heights And springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water And the dry land fountains of water. I will put the cedar in the wilderness, The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree; I will place the juniper in the desert Together with the box tree and the cypress." (Isaiah 41:18-19, NASB)
This passage describes the wilderness-like times in life. You are barren. You are thirsty. You are hot. You are in need. God will provide what you need. God will quench your thirst. He will provide shade when you are weary. During those times, God can provide in creative, innovative ways. He can provide something out of nothing. Doesn't that give you great hope? Even when you can't answer how He will do it, He is creative enough to figure it out even when the odds are stacked against you.
"That they may see and recognize, And consider and gain insight as well, That the hand of the Lord has done this, And the Holy One of Israel has created it." (Isaiah 41:20 NASB).
God will do all of this so that His glory will be put on display. People — including yourself — will see that He is powerful.
So you can see how after a night of wrestling with fear and anxiety, reading this was like shade and water for my soul. God is a god who sees. And God is a god who acts on your behalf.
What do you need His help with today? What are you fearful about today? What keeps you awake at night? Where do you need some shade?

|Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesca, Tinta Roriz
|Portugal » Douro
|W&J Graham's
Product Description
This is a landmark wine for Graham's, not only being the first Vintage of a new millennium, but being the first Vintage wine to enjoy the extraordinary results achieved by the new robotic 'lagares' at Malvedos in the inaugural year of our remodelled winery. Significant also has been the decision to include a rather larger proportion of mature Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional from Vila Velha, a classic riverside Quinta a short distance downstream from Malvedos, and some spectacular old vine lots from Vale de Malhadas in the Upper Douro. These wines each from family-owned Quintas have been used to reinforce the predominant component from Malvedos and the traditional excellence of the Rio Torto lots from Lages, to produce a rounded and even blend in the hallmark rich Graham style. The blend displays many of the typical Graham aromas of ripe plum and 'esteva' (gum cistus) and is pleasantly smooth on the palate despite its youth. It is full and rich in the mouth with fresh blackberry and red plum notes. Despite the hallmark Graham sweetness in the mouth the finish is long and clean.
Wine Spectator
Smells like freshly picked orchids, with loads of ripe, clean fruit. Full-bodied, medium sweet and very powerful and racy. It lasts for minutes on your palate. Yet there's a balance and class to this young Vintage Port. This is the greatest glass of Graham I have ever tasted, young or old. Best after 2014. 9,000 cases made.Score: 98, James Suckling, May 15, 2003

There's a hint of winter in the air, Christmas season is just around the corner and I've been thinking a lot about decorating. Our family will be spending the holidays with us in our cozy Hong Kong apartment and so I've resolved to go all out with decor to usher in the holidays. I've never fully decorated a house for Christmas. I would put up a tree but having toddlers at home prevented me from fully decorating. Last year we traveled and spent the Holidays in North America so I didn't decorate much. It's funny because I've spent countless minutes thinking of adding holiday styling to my list of services as a stylist.
One late October afternoon I began browsing the net for ideas. For the past two years I was pretty much into Scandinavian Christmas decorating but now I was attracted to a homey traditional Christmas. I especially loved the home of Lucy Akins of Craftberry bush blog.
When it comes to decorating small spaces, here are some tips:
- Make use of small fresh pine tress. I love this idea. Think of replacing your usual tropical topiary or succulents and cacti with pines and tiny Christmas trees.
2. Decorate your hallway ceiling. An interesting invention can make a dull hallway look bright and happy. Don't you just love these paper snowflakes? You can hang baby mistletoes, sprigs of holly and other Christmas accents.
3. Elevate a small pine tree. If you live in a small flat, you will want to save on floor space too. Chunky trees often take up lots of space. I love this idea because it made the tree look tall and yet not too massive.
4. Add a little of Christmas in unexpected places. Placing Christmas leaves, pine cones, berries and other decor in surprising places like these shelves and kitchen mugs are brilliant! They add warmth and complete the look of the entire home. Things don't always have to come in big decor, small leaves here and there can make a huge difference.
5. Use Christmas wreathes and hang them. Not all your decor need to be on a table or mantle. Hanging things save you space, looks less cluttered and adds life to your home. Here is how you can do your own Christmas wreath.
Next week I plan to go to the flower market at Prince Edwards. Hoping to score some great bargains on baby pine trees, eucalyptus leaves and some pine. I can't wait to share with you what i see so stay tuned! Till next time!

This book explores the ordinary beliefs and practices of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians in relation to the Holy Spirit. It does this by means of a congregational study of a classical Pentecostal church in the UK, using participant observation, focus groups and documentary and media analysis. This approach develops a framework in which the narratives of informants can be interpreted. Focusing on specific areas of interest, such as worship, conversion, healing and witness, each contribution from respondents is situated within the context of the congregation and interpreted by means of the broader Christian tradition. This book makes a unique contribution to scholarship by offering a rich and varied picture of contemporary Christians in the Pentecostal and Charismatic traditions, enabling a greater understanding to be appreciated for both academic and ecclesial audiences.
Mark Cartledge has taken David Martin's concept of rescripting which he applies to (in Jeff Astley's language) the 'ordinary theology' of a local Pentecostal denomination and has pulled off a remarkable study of interdisciplinary sophistication which is both faithful to Pentecostal self understanding of their lives, yet deeply reflexive sociologically, and reflective theologically. If that were not enough he offers this rescription to Pentecostal practitioners in a spirit of critical engagement. This study is so rich and rounded that I am tempted to throw caution to the wind and say with confidence that this lifts practical theology to a higher level. Testimony in the Spirit is a tour de force. Andrew Walker, King's College London, UK Finally, a practical theological methodology that ably and adequately closes the loop between the vibrant and widely heralded 'Pentecostal spirituality' and the second-level discourse of Pentecostal theology. Cartledge not only writes here in service of the church, but further solidifies his reputation at the vanguard of the increasingly important field of practical theology through his expert translation of Pentecostal experience, that remains quite enigmatic to those outside the movement. Amos Yong, Regent University School of Divinity, USA This is theological reflection that questions and listens discerningly to a local Pentecostal congregation in the light of a larger theological conversation. The result is a fruitful exchange that provides much needed clarity of thought, not only for Pentecostals, but for everyone interested in understanding how theology can serve the life and mission of the church. Frank D. Macchia, Vanguard University, USA In a lucid and compelling style, Cartledge takes the reader inside the "ordinary theology" of contemporary British Pentecostalism. He raises issues of great importance to leaders of diverse religious communities, while sharing ground-breaking scholarship in Pentecostal/Charismatic stud
Theological reflection on the church's practice is now recognised as a significant element in theological studies in the academy and seminary. Routledge's series in practical, pastoral and empirical theology seeks to foster this resurgence of interest and encourage new developments in practical and applied aspects of theology worldwide. This timely series draws together a wide range of disciplinary approaches and empirical studies to embrace contemporary developments including: the expansion of research in empirical theology, psychological theology, ministry studies, public theology, Christian education and faith development; key issues of contemporary society such as health, ethics and the environment; and more traditional areas of concern such as pastoral care and counselling.

I first started hearing the word sacredness through attending presentations by Universal Medicine. Although my woman's body seemed to remember this word, my logical mind was telling me that I didn't have a clue what it meant! There was such a contrast between the distant yet clear knowing in my body and the way I was living and moving, which was largely devoid of this sacredness. Where to start when waking up a giant? This is where female role models who live this sacredness play such a significant role. Perhaps surprisingly, it isn't in anything they say. It is the way they move. My whole-body seems to drink in what I see and I feel and in an instant, I know the sacredness within a woman. Continue reading "Miranda & Natalie Benhayon – Sacredness of the Way they Move "

A Sacred Relationship with Self – Inspired by Natalie Benhayon
I recently attended a presentation by Natalie Benhayon on "A Sacred Relationship with Self." This subject has been in my conscious awareness for a few years as I have been learning about and developing more self-love and more self-nurturing which has led to more self-esteem. When I received the notice of the presentation being given by Natalie, I suspected there would be a slant on how to be in relationship with my self as a woman. I've been a late bloomer so to speak, in the sense of realising what my true expression as a woman means for me. I was eager to attend, yet still a little apprehensive. The apprehension had to do with not being confident about 'how to be a woman'. As the presentation began, I quickly learned that the evening would be about a relationship with my sacred self.

Mark Trahant: I have been thinking a lot in the last 48 hours about my role, the role of journalism, or what's left of that, especially in terms of Indian Country.
I wonder how effective we are in the age of social media. And if there might be another way to go about distributing ideas?
Two specific issues: The filter bubble. What we read and consume that challenges our thinking? Does it make it more difficult to build a coalition?
And, perhaps, more important, how do we challenge things we know not to be true?
From a NY magazine essay on Facebook: "They found that users only clicked on 7 percent of "hard" content (politics, national news) in their feeds, as opposed to "soft" content like entertainment, sports, or travel. The researchers found that conservatives see about 5 percent less ideologically diverse content than their more moderate friends, with liberals at 8 percent."
There are so many examples from Indian Country (and from Indian Country news enterprises) that illustrate this example well.
Who, then, writes about policy? And how do we pay for that?
Introspection time. (Still working on stories on white board, plus looking at actual returns to see where Indian Country voted … and where we did not.)
This piece is worth considering:

Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell, Paul Walker's girlfriend, is struggling to get her life back together following Walker's death in a November 30 car crash.
The pair were reportedly dating for seven years before the crash. They began seeing each other when Pilchard-Gosnell was 16 and Walker was 33. Walker was 40 when he died.
"Jasmine is just starting to get her around living her life without Paul," a source told entertainment website ShowBizSpy.
"He was her whole world. They loved each other very much."
Pilchard-Gosnell, a college student in California, has not spoken publicly about Walker's death.
Entertainment websites previously reported that she was becoming like a second mother to Meadow Walker, Walker's 15-year-old daughter who had recently moved to Los Angeles to live with her dad. Meadow's mother, Rebecca McBrain, lives in Hawaii.
The source added: ""Jasmine is still struggling and has been leaning on her family—and Paul's family—for support."

Imagine the scene. It's spring 2016. The Vote Leave campaign is feverishly telling the electorate that a sovereign parliament is a mere distraction. The object of prime importance is that we leave the EU – and that also means leaving the single market, leaving the European Economic Area (EEA) and leaving European-wide customs arrangements. This has to happen by fair means or foul. Power must leave Brussels, bypass parliament, and reside with a Whitehall elite. Ministers may or may not reinstate the rights and protections conveyed either by membership of the EU or the EEA, but we can all agree in any event that our jobs, rights and prosperity are of lesser importance than the British dream of rule by ministerial decree.
This counterfactual account – the true face of an honest Leave campaign – would have been dismissed as reckless by voters and would have lost a referendum. This recklessness though is no longer counterfactual, but actual, and is being debated in parliament as a result of the EU Withdrawal Bill.
Much attention has rightly focussed on the extent to which the bill represents a "power grab" by ministers. Top of my list of concerns, is the power it confers on the likes of David Davis to sit behind their departmental desks and at the stroke of a pen withdraw us from the European Economic Area and the single market.
The EEA contains the countries of the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It provides a way to stay in the single market while being outside the EU and a means of maintaining ease of trade whilst being beyond the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. Put simply, membership of the EEA satisfies the instruction provided by the referendum result without needlessly sacrificing our economy.
Now many of us might prefer to stay in the single market by remaining in the EU, but the odds don't look good on that front and as a realist, I feel I have a responsibility to look at other options to limit the damage. I recognise the result of the referendum, but I will not allow ministers a completely free hand in deciding how we leave.
And so for the sake of the democracy leavers used to be in favour of, I have tabled an amendment to the Withdrawal Bill. My new clause would prevent a ministerial power-grab on single market membership and would require a further act of parliament before the government seeks to pull us out of the EEA. It would require MPs to determine whether Britain triggers article 127 of the EEA Agreement and would stop this being decided by ministerial whim.
This is no more than was provided by the government when parliament voted to trigger article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to pull us out of the EU and it was an issue that was pronounced by David Davis in March this year as "quite likely to come to Parliament". But as currently drafted the bill contains no provision for MPs to vote on whether we notify other contracting parties to the EEA agreement of our intention to withdraw from that treaty. Worse still, hidden in the bill's 19 clauses and eight schedules, its sneaks in a number of changes which could be prayed in aid by ministers as some sort of back door authorisation for taking us out of the single market.
What might this back door route look like? The repeal of the EEA Act 1993 (the British act of parliament which put the EEA Agreement onto our statute book) is part of the EU Withdrawal Bill, squirreled away in Schedule 8 Part 2. Ministers could very well claim that having repealed the agreement in domestic law, they can use the powers conferred on them under clause eight of the bill to "tidy up" the irritating issue that Britain is still officially a signatory to the EEA Treaty. They would have the power to decide that and it needn't come back to parliament.
That isn't the reclaimed British sovereignty people voted for and it's not good enough. Irrespective of whether we believe the country should be out of the single market, in it for a transitional period or in it indefinitely, how can this not be a decision for parliament?
That's what my new clause would change. It's called democracy.
The most important issue for our country is our continued membership of the single market, along with our ability to stay in a European customs union. It is about jobs and living standards, but it is also about the money a future Labour government will need to tackle austerity. The idea that we cede all decision making on our membership of the European Economic Area to a prime minister so palpably held hostage by a cell of Brexit fanatics is one that should concern us all.
The bill has to change. The economy must come first. Parliament must make the decisions and it should be the Labour Party that leads the way.

All this week Manchester's answer to someone who is damn good at writing atmospheric Italo tracks, Kid Machine, has been picking some of his top classic tunes for our 'Goin' Old' School' feature, so what better way to see him off at the end of his run than with his brand new reMix of Tangerine Dream's 'Unicorn Theme'.
Long time readers will know I'm quite a big fan of Tangerine Dream, especially when they are at their most energetic and cinematic. 'Unicorn Theme ' comes from their soundtrack to Ridley Scott's 1986 fantasy epic 'Legend', which gives me an interesting way to describe Kid's track. Unicorn footage filmed for 'Legend' was inserted into Ridley's 1992 Directors Cut Of BladeRunner (as a Replicant suggesting dream-sequence), and that is exactly what this reMix feels like, the unicorn footage from Legend inserted into BladeRunner. The magic and wonder of Tangerine Dream's pipes and strings with Kid Machine's Vangelis-esque rapid fire Italo synths. This reMix draws a line between the two genres of movie, and movie soundtrack, in a way the makes the geek in me really happy. It's a killer Italo tune too!

We met at Gardner Village and had a fun time walking through the cute shops and playing with the ducks.
Afterwards we went to Alison's house for some yummy hot chocolate! Bryson loved playing with Sophie, who looked so pretty in pink!
Bryson also had fun playing with his adopted buddy Jack. Jack is one month younger than Bryson and was just sealed to his parents and was blessed the very same day Bryson was. Alison and I enjoyed comparing and sharing our adoption stories with each other.
While at Alison's house, I picked up Jack and put him on my lap to play with him. When Bryson noticed that I was holding another baby, he got jealous and immediately climbed up into my lap as if to claim me his. It was so cute!

Martitia Hunt
"Hold! I am Eleanor, by the wrath of God, Queen of England. Down on your knees, you traitorous dogs!"
With these haughty lines, Martitia Hunt as Eleanor of Aquitaine, attempts to stop an attack, by the Sheriff's soldiers, on the royal entourage in Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood. A regal role she played with her usual scene stealing ability.
In the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Donald Roy describes Martitia thus:
"With an arresting appearance and a dominant stage presence, she proved most effective as strong, tragic characters, her Gertrude in Hamlet being accounted by some critics the finest they had seen."
Martitia was born on a ranch in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Alfred and Marta Hunt on 30th January 1900. When she was ten, the family returned to England, where Martitia attended Queenwood boarding-school in Eastbourne. She trained as an actress under Dame Genevieve Ward and Lady Benson. And by 1920 she had appeared in her first movie, an obscure 2 reel, silent film, produced by Walter West called The Rank Outsider.
After joining the Liverpool Repertory Theatre, Martitia moved, in September 1929, to London and later, on John Gielgud's insistence, she joined Harcourt Williams's Old Vic Company for a season. It was there that she established herself as a stage actress and went on to make notable performances, particularly in Shakespearian plays, such as, Gertrude in Hamlet, Lady Macbeth in Macbeth, the Queen in Richard II and Rosalind in As You Like It, alongside Gielgud.
Like many actors and actresses of her time, Martitia divided her career between stage and film production. In 1932 she made her first 'talking' picture debut as Aline, in Alexander Korda's Service For Ladies. Many supporting, or cameo roles followed, including Aunt Esther in When Knights Were Bold (1936), Lady Francis Brandon Grey in Tudor Rose (1936) (alongside Cedric Hardwick and John Mills) and Lady Bogshott in Good Morning Boys (1937).
With middle age, Martitia finally achieved her greatest success. Firstly with her role as cousin Agatha in the 17th century costume drama, The Wicked Lady (1945) alongside Margaret Lockwood and James Mason. Then with a reprisal of a character she had performed in 1939.
David Lean had seen Martitia as Miss Havesham, along with Alec Guinness as Herbert Pocket, in a stage production of Dickens's novel, after being taken to the Rudolf Steiner Hall by his wife Kay Walsh. This inspired him to film his later award winning classic, Great Expectations (1946) in which both Martitia and Alec Guinness recreated their roles. This masterpiece proved to be a benchmark in movie production and went on to win two Oscars. One for its art direction and also for Guy Green's (later director of photography on Disney's Robin Hood (1952)) black and white cinematography.
Martitia's brilliant, unforgettable performance, as the mad recluse, Miss Havesham, in the atmospheric setting of 'Statis House,' brought her world wide recognition. Three years later she made her Broadway debut in The Madwoman of Chaillot and won a Tony Award for Best Actress (Dramatic) for her 'Countess Aurelia'.
But her success, firmly began to typecast her in roles, as an 'eccentric grand dame' or 'evil aristocrat.' Gradually she reduced her stage work and in May 1956, played in her last theatre production, as Angelique Boniface in Feydeau's farce, Hotel Paradiso. This was at the Winter Gardens, with Irene Worth and Alec Guinness, whom she had given voice lessons, at the beginning of his acting career.
More regal roles followed in her film career, including Princess Betty Tversky in Anna Karenina (1948) and the Duchess of Berwick in The Fan (1949).
The tall, stately, velvet voiced, Martitia Hunt, was of course, the perfect choice to play the part of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine in Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood (1952). As the mother of the crusading King Richard I and his scheming brother Prince John, she found herself the linchpin of a divided kingdom, a part, the elegant Martitia, was made for.
Her later, notable films, included Anastasia (1956) as Baroness Elena von Livenbaum with Ingrid Bergman, The Admirable Crichton (1957) as Lady Brocklehurst and as Anna Richter, the story teller, in The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (1962).
In the final years of her career, Martitia once again found herself with regal roles like the Empress Matilda in Beckett(1964) and the Grand Duchess Lupavinova in The Unsinkable Molly Brown, (1964). Her last two films were the mystery thriller, Bunny Lake is Missing (1965) in which she played the part of Ada Ford and the sex comedy, The Best House in London (1969) as the headmistress.
Martitia Hunt died of bronchial asthma at 7 Primrose Hill Studios, Fitzroy Road, Hampstead, London, on 13th June 1969. She was 69.

The imdb site has her date of birth as 1896 but it is often shown as 1900. She was the aunt of Gareth Hunt. I remember her in 1960 The Brides of Dracula with Peter Cushing. She was always very good and by all reliable accounts, an exceptionally good stage actor. She also had that beautifully clipped English diction.

We caught up with Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly at the Wings Club in New York this week, where he was the featured speaker at the aviation's group monthly luncheon. And, it's no wonder he was featured: One in every four fliers in the U.S. is on a Southwest plane. A hot topic of discussion was the vote by the FCC in favor of allowing cell phone calls aloft. Kelly made no bones about how he feels about it: he's opposed to it. Perhaps that's also because he's in the air so much. Kelly shared with us some of his thoughts about the state of air travel today – not just from a CEO's point of view but as a road warrior who logs many thousands of miles a year.
** So, how did you get here today? Your airline famously can't fly nonstop from your base at Dallas Love Field to New York, due to some arcane restrictions that are scheduled to be lifted next year.**
GK: Well I did fly Southwest and I didn't fly nonstop [laughs]; I went from Dallas to St. Louis to Washington D.C. then to New York.
In one day? That's a fairly grueling itinerary, isn't it?
Well, this is my fourth decade of flying. And I love it. But I've seen some really significant changes in the way we fly. The flying experience post- deregulation, I think, is better than ever in some ways, but it's also getting worse in some other ways. Airlines have done a phenomenal job in using technology to make the overall customer experience better, what with online transactions, electronic boarding passes. Security screening is finally getting better with TSA Precheck—we are seeing more and more customers taking advantage of that. But with air traffic control and just the trip duration—that is going the wrong direction. We definitely need the federal government to modernize the FAA, because now we are simply adding time to trips when we need to be reducing trip time for customers. It's more economical, environmentally friendly and of course, it's better for the customers. But overall, I really enjoy flying, and I fly a lot.
**How often do you fly? **
In a year I'll take around 100 trips, which is good because I appreciate our customers' likes and dislikes firsthand.
Where do you like to sit on the plane?
I like to sit on the aisle. Mainly because I like to get up and assist our flight attendants in passing out snacks. And I'm a big guy [note: he's well over 6-feet-tall], and I think most people would kind of like to have more room, and I get a little more room if I'm on the aisle. I fly a lot of short flights in Texas, and sometimes I can't get up at all if the seatbelt light is on. But really any seat is good, and if our customers prefer and the flight is full, I'm happy to take the middle seat or sit in the cockpit.
What's in your travel bag?
I always take my briefcase with something to read; I have my iPad and I download all my newspapers, and I have some books, too, both hardcover and stored on my iPad and Kindle. I would much prefer to get on a plane and read and visit with our customers or flight crews rather than send emails.
Still, we've had inflight Wi-Fi at Southwest for a while and I admit I get sucked into that; so a lot of it depends on what deadlines I have. If there's something I have to prepare for, then it's nice to have. I'm using the Wi-Fi gate to gate now (after the FAA in November lifted the ban on electronic device use below 10,000 feet). I'm aware that the airplane used to be the one place you could escape it, but you know, you are still in control of (your time); if you want to focus on something else, you can too, you just have to manage your time. It's just nice to have that there as an option.
What's on your wish list for next year?
've got three things on my list: I'd look for a supportive federal government that would provide stability in the economy—and that means low taxes; two, a stable outlook for energy prices—it's the uncertainty and instability that makes it so difficult; and finally, I'd like to see meaningful progress in modernizing air traffic control, because not doing anything has a huge economic penalty on the country

A long time educator with a heart for teachers, parents and students.
Hi, my name is Carlene. After a nearly thirty year career in education I took the plunge into retirement about a year ago. At about that same time I had a friend who encouraged me to give essential oils a try. As I have learned about the oils and how they can support your body both physically and emotionally, I have come to realize what a treasure they truly are. My goal is to help others become educated about the many benefits of essential oils so that when faced with the challenges of life essential oils can just naturally be a part of coping with those challenges.

Before I was introduced to essential oils I was finding more and more nights where I simply was not getting a restful night. I either tossed and turned not being able to fall asleep or I woke up in the middle of the night and then couldn't go back to sleep. One of the first oils I used was lavender. Its relaxing scent now helps support a healthy, restful night of sleep for me. My nightly routine includes rubbing a drop of lavender on the bottom of each foot and
wiping any residual oil on my hands across my pillow case.

Objective: Slow frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) reduces motor cortex excitability, but it is unclear whether this has behavioural consequences in healthy subjects.
Methods: We examined the effects of 1 Hz rTMS (train of 20 min; stimulus intensity 80% of active motor threshold) over left motor or left premotor cortex on performance in a visually cued choice reaction time task, using a 'masked prime' paradigm to assess whether rTMS might affect more automatic motor processes. Twelve healthy volunteers participated.
Results: Motor cortex rTMS and, to a lesser extent, premotor cortex rTMS resulted in a slowing of right (stimulated) hand responses, but not of left (unstimulated) hand responses. In a control experiment, rTMS of the left somatosensory cortex did not lead to slower right hand responses.
Discussion: We conclude that long trains of low intensity 1 Hz rTMS over the motor or premotor cortex can have subtle behavioural consequences outlasting the stimulation. rTMS did not affect the modulation of reaction times by subliminal primes, suggesting that priming effects triggered by subliminal primes are not generated at the level of motor or pre-motor cortex.

Make call in opera mini without closing it. Sounds interesting! Friends as we all know Opera Mini is the most widely used mobile browser.It is because of its excellent user interface, high browsing speed and low data cost due to the compression of its pages. Many java phones and others too use it as their favourite mobile browser. But opera mini does not have a direct option to make a call from the phone while using the internet. This is not a problem to the phones which have a 'minimizing application' option. They can simply minimize the browser, make a call and then return to the browser. But what about those who do not have this minimizing option. And majority of them don't have it!
It's often very irritating to close the browser, make a call and then again open it. But there is a solution to solve this. Opera mini does not directly have the option to make a call. But still its there and hidden inside the browser. Many of you may have noticed it at times. Here is the trick to make a call without closing opera mini. It utilizes the hidden make a call option and Google calculator.
Make Call in Opera Mini Without Minimizing it
Firstly open opera mini then go to Google search. Suppose you want to call to the number 812xxxxxx5.
Now just type 812xxxxxxx5+0= in Google search box and click the search button.
Now at the top of search results you will get something like:
Move your cursor over the number to want to make the call. Now your number will be highlighted. Just click it! Your call will be connected and you are ready to talk now.
To end the call press the 'call end' button only once.
Alternately, you can also just type your required number in google search and click your number appearing in search results.
Another Trick to Make Call in Opera Mini:
You can also try this code to make call to any number while on opera mini. Just type in the address bar wtai://wp/mc;<your number>. For example, if you want to call to 812xxxxxx5 type in address bar wtai://wp/mc;812xxxxxx5. Once you have typed this code, you need not type it again to make another call. Next time just type in address bar tel:<your number> like tel:812xxxxxx5. But if you have closed the browser then again you need to type the code for first call and the subsequent calls you can make by the tel: command.
Hope you all like and enjoy the trick. Don't forget to share it with your friends on your favourite social media!

Location: Lobby ceiling of Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (36° 6′ 47″ N, 115° 10′ 35″ W)
Date: 8 September 2006; 4.15pm
Camera: Canon 300D with kit lens
Las Vegas is really a fun place to go especially for gamblers. Even for non-gamblers like me, it is just fun to hop from hotel to hotel to see the free performances and enjoy the "freak show" so to speak. Amongst other things ,one could see Eiffel Tower and the Pyramid here as well as the most glittering of lights. All the hotels on the Strip of Vegas seem to try to outdo one another all the time, with different themes and attractions. One of the highlights for any Vegas visitors must be the Bellagio Hotel. It has an 8-acre (3.2 ha) man-made lake outside the building which houses the Fountains of Bellagio, a huge dancing fountain with performances synchronized to music and light. Its lobby' s ceiling is adorned by the "Fiori Di Como" chandelier which comprises of 2,000 hand-blown multi-colored glass blossoms.

and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
In 1994, The Presbyterian Church in Canada adopted the Confession to God and to Indigenous people for its role in the Indian Residential School System. The church is committed to walking with Indigenous people on a journey toward reconciliation and living out the spirit of its Confession.
The Healing and Reconciliation Program was established by General Assembly in 2006 to assist The Presbyterian Church in Canada in restoring right relations with Indigenous people. The program provides resources to raise awareness among Presbyterians about the impact of colonialism on Indigenous people and supports initiatives that build relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
Staff in Justice Ministries and members of the Healing and Reconciliation Advisory Committee work with Presbyterians at all levels of the church to foster leaders committed to promoting reconciliation efforts in their congregations and in their communities. The church works with ecumenical partners in responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action including support for the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action
While all the Calls to Action are significant for all Canadians, there are those that directly name the churches. What do these specific Calls to Action mean and how are Presbyterians responding? Our Church Responds.
Acknowledging Traditional Territory
A guide to assist congregations and courts of the church to incorporate an acknowledgment of traditional Indigenous territory into worship, meetings and other gatherings.
The Blanket Exercise
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise explores the nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada. Blankets arranged on the floor represent the land. Participants begin to see the impact that colonization and loss of land has had on Indigenous people as the blankets are folded up and removed. The activity invites participants to consider how to begin to heal broken relationships and what their next steps toward reconciliation will be.
Watch a video about the Blanket Exercise.
If you are interested in learning more, hosting the Blanket Exercise or becoming a facilitator please contact Carragh Erhardt (ext. 278) or Katharine Sisk (ext. 250).

Ideas for Youth
Here are some ideas for ways to encourage the youth in your congregation to get involved healing and reconciliation:
- Start small. Introduce them to the concept of acknowledging traditional territories at church events.
- Lead them in the Blanket Exercise or—better still—invite them to help you lead the Blanket Exercise in your congregation!
- Share the Healing & Reconciliation e-newsletter with them
- Invite Carragh Erhardt, Healing and Reconciliation Program Assistant, to meet your youth group in person or over Skype.
Liturgical Resources
Liturgical resources, including suggested orders of service, sermon illustrations, church school activities, bible study, and prayers are available in two liturgical resources.

- Healing & Reconciliation Liturgical Kit (2007)
Also, use the Blanket Exercise as an interactive way to explore the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Click here for more Justice Ministries resources.
Why Truth and Reconciliation Matters to Presbyterians
In 1994, The Presbyterian Church in Canada confessed its role in the tragic legacy of the Indian residential schools. The church is committed to walking with Indigenous people on a journey toward reconciliation, and living out the spirit of the confession. This video contains messages from Presbyterians from across Canada about why truth and reconciliation is important to them.

Yes, I realize it's been 2 weeks since my last blog post. That's what happens when we return (however briefly) to reality. We've spent the last 2 weeks living in an ACTUAL HOUSE! That would be Robbie's parents' house near Jacksonville. I hate to say it, but we've become a little soft after spending 2 whole weeks with indoor plumbing.
We spent the first week helping get their house ready to put on the market in anticipation of a move to be closer to Robbie's sister. I loves me a little home improvement, so we spent each day fixing, staging, shopping, painting, and purging. After 5 months of travel, it felt good to actually accomplish something.
We had a wonderfully mellow Christmas. Santa brought C what she asked for…books on Greek mythology! Can you tell she's been reading the Percy Jackson books? The day after Christmas, Robbie's sister, niece and nephew arrived. Robbie's nephew is a year and a half older than C, and after the first day they were total buddies. They share a love of random facts, "Mythbusters" and the beach.
Robbie's niece is 14, and though she's a texting machine, she was happy to take a break to show the younger kids the best hide-and-go-seek hiding spots in Nana and Papa's house.
Of course, no trip to Nana and Papa's 'hood would be complete without a trip to Ragtime, the local watering hole:
But I think the highlight of the week was our gift from Suzy and co.:
That's right….we now have coordinating "Intrepid Explorer" shirts!!!
We all really enjoyed our extended stay with Nana and Papa, but we were happy to hit the road today. Oddly enough, our little trailer really feels like home now. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! See you in 2013!

Toilet remodels are showcasing homeowners' distinctive styles in a approach that makes you by no means need to go away them. Understand that though the common small rest room remodel costs around $9,000, that your labor & supplies costs will differ relying on location and high quality of fixtures you choose. Like from seeing how the neighbor's lavatory appears to be like and looking ahead to your wanting just like that and even better.
The first flooring lavatory had green and white tiles, Karrie's shower had green tiles, and mine was blue. As an illustration, in the event you have been inquisitive about altering the location of the bathroom, shower or sink, an skilled rest room remodeler can help you determine if these structure changes would be prohibitively expensive for your price range.
There's nothing worse than a bathroom with poor air flow and insufficient lighting. Definitions in laymen's terms, value concerns, footage and issues it's worthwhile to know. Selecting a lightweight colored ceramic tile was the important thing to opening up my small rest room because it reflects the out there mild and gives the look that the room is bigger than it truly is.
The price of your supplies can go up rapidly in order for you any specialized fixtures or for those who want the bathroom to be handicapped-accessible. The Bathroom Reworking Bid Sheet will assist make sure that your toilet remodeling challenge goes smoothly and also you get the finished toilet you are looking for.
Small glitches in a brand new tile job or a gap in a toilet vanity may appear minor, but even the smallest errors will turn into eyesores down the line. For those who aren't looking to do a full renovation, smaller scale rest room design concepts could be achieved by merely swapping out a few of your previous equipment and altering the color scheme with new linens or paint.

text: MIDDLETOWN, R.I., Sept. 15 -- KVH Industries Inc., a manufacturer of fiber optic products with communication, navigation and industrial applications, announced that it has received a $3.2 million production order for its fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based TG-6000 precision inertial measurement unit (IMU) from Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, a Tewksbury, Mass.-based provider of integrated air and missile defense and naval warfighting solutions. The contract could ultimately be worth as much as $15.8 million. Raytheon, the sole contractor for the Navy's next-generation MK54 lightweight torpedo, selected the TG-6000 IMU following engineering and performance testing during 2004 and 2005. The MK54 torpedo is deployed from surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft to track, classify and attack underwater targets such as submarines. The TG-6000 will serve as a key component within the MK54 guidance system, with delivery of the initial contract order beginning by the end of the year and continuing through 2007. If three follow-on options are exercised, the total order could reach more than $15.8 million between 2005 and 2009. KVH's fiber optic gyro-based measurement units are a key component in the guidance system of the US Navy's MK54 lightweight torpedoes. (Photo: KVH Industries Inc.)Officials say the KVH TG-6000 IMU measures rate and acceleration in three dimensions, critical for the navigation of a torpedo or other smart munitions. The IMU employs a three-axis configuration of KVH's FOGs, which offer an all-fiber design, patented digital signal processing and three accelerometers. Together, the integrated IMU can be used in applications including manned vehicle navigation and guidance systems for autonomous aerial and underwater vehicles.

Wishing a wonderful day to all the dads out there. And sending all my love to the most amazing, patient, talented, funny, caring dad in the whole world. I remember making that #1 Dad ribbon with my sister. I am positive he still has it. I am also positive that candle is in a cheeseburger. Cupcake schmupcake.
Thank you for always supporting me, even when it meant spending every single Father's Day, for 15 years, at my dance recitals. He never missed a single one.
Thank you for always wishing me nothing but happiness, health, success and love. In this picture my dad is breaking the Oplatki (a polish wafer) and blessing me with well wishes for the year. Look at that plate of pierogies! We still do this every Christmas Eve and I love it more and more each year.
Thank you for teaching me how to take a deep breath and chill. I have a hard time remembering this often and he somehow always calls when I need the reminder.
Most of all…thank you for being so fly.
Love you Dad! Enjoy your day!
