This Sunday's readings are also important for understanding Catholic sacramental theology, in particular, the sacrament of confirmation. Indeed, confirmation (or chrismation) is closely linked to Pentecost. Quoting Pope Paul VI, the Catechism of the Catholic Church explains that, confirmation "in a certain way perpetuates the grace of Pentecost in the Church" (no. 1288; citing Paul VI, Divinae consortium naturae, 659).
I would suggest, then, that the readings this Sunday help us prepare for Pentecost Sunday by, in part, drawing upon passages that in Catholic tradition are closely related to the sacrament of confirmation. In this, as we approach the feast celebrating the outpouring of the Spirit upon the disciples, we are reminded that we share in that Pentecost experience in the sacramental life of the Church.
With that as background, let us briefly explore these readings.
FIRST READING: Acts 8:5-8, 14-17
Philip went down to the city of Samaria
and proclaimed the Christ to them.
With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip
when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing.
For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice,
came out of many possessed people,
and many paralyzed or crippled people were cured.
There was great joy in that city.
Now when the apostles in JerusalemThe Relationship of the Samaritans to the Jews. At the beginning of the reading we read that Philip, one of the seven deacons appointed in Acts 6:5 (not the apostle), "proclaimed the Christ" to the people of Samaria. Much could be said about this from a salvation history perspective. Specifically, it is important to know that backstory of the Samaritans to appreciate the significance of this story. Let us consider that briefly.
heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God,
they sent them Peter and John,
who went down and prayed for them,
that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
for it had not yet fallen upon any of them;
they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then they laid hands on them
and they received the Holy Spirit.
Under kings David and Solomon, all of the tribes of Israel were united. This period represented, in many ways, the golden age of the Old Testament. Through the Davidic kingdom God reigned over Israel as well as the nations. The Chronicler thus describes the kingdom of David in terms of, "the kingdom of the Lord in the hands of the sons of David" (2 Chr 13:8).
After Solomon's death, however, the northern tribes revolted against the kingdom of David. They turned away from the Lord and began to worship golden calves. A rebel kingdom was set up by the northern tribes. Its first king was Jeroboam, a descendant of the tribe of Ephraim. The capital of the northern kingdom was eventually established in Samaria.
Samaria thus became associated with the northern tribes' rebellion against the Davidic kingdom.
As is well known, in Jesus' day, the Samaritans were despised by Jews. However, it wasn't simply their rejection of the Davidic king that caused this. In fact, things got quite complicated for the Samaritans.
First, in the eighth century B.C. the Assyrians carried off many of the northern tribes into exile. According to 2 Kings 17:18-41, not only did the Assyrians send many northern Israelites into exile, they also repopulated the cities of Samaria with captives from other nations who brought with them the worship of their own pagan gods. In Jesus' day, therefore, the Samaritans were seen as corrupted. [1]
Nonetheless, the Samaritans were still apparently seen as part of the people of Israel by Jews in the Second Temple Period. 2 Maccabees seems to describe the Jews and Samaritans as belonging to one "people" (2 Macc. 5:22-23). What really scandalized the Jews, then, was not the Samaritans' questionable genealogy, it was something else.
Specifically, the Samaritans were problematic above all else because they rejected the Jerusalem temple. They identified Mt. Gerizim--not Mt. Zion--as the place of correct worship. In fact, Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well discuss this disagreement in John 4. This--the question of right worship--was the central dividing issue among the Jews and the Samaritans. Nothing was more important than the question of what constituted proper liturgical worship.
Josephus tells us that some Samaritans even attempted to defile the Jerusalem temple in the time of Coponius (A.D. 6-9), sneaking into the temple courts and placing human bones in the sanctuary (A.J. 19.29-30). In short, the Jews seem to have despised the Samaritans because the Samaritans were hostile to the temple in Jerusalem.
In fact, one ancient rabbinic text makes it clear that though the question of worship was at the heart of the dispute, the rabbis did believe they could one day be restored to the people of God:
"When shall we receive the Samaritans back? When they renounce Mount Gerizim and acknowledge Jerusalem and the resurrection of the dead. When this happens, he that robs a Samaritan shall be as one who robs an Israelite." (Massekhet Kutim 2:8).[2]Notably, this text also suggests that the Samaritans also rejected the hope for the resurrection of the dead. The element worth pointing out here though this this: there was a hope for a reunification with the Samaritans among the rabbis.
This is not surprising. Indeed, many of the prophets looked forward to the day God would reunite the northern and southern tribes of Israel. For example, speaking specifically of Samaria, Isaiah declares:
Again you shall plant vineyardsThe Promise of the inclusion of the Samaritans. How does all of the above relate to the reading from Acts?
upon the mountains of Samaria;
the planters shall plant,
and shall enjoy the fruit. 6 For there shall be a day when watchmen will call
in the hill country of Ephraim:
'Arise, and let us go up to Zion,
to the Lord our God.'" 7 For thus says the Lord:
"Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
and raise shouts for the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
'The Lord has saved his people,
the remnant of Israel.' (Jer 31:5-7)
The book of Acts presents Jesus as the Messiah, the one through whom the twelve tribes would be restored (cf. Luke 22:29-30). Along these lines, in the first chapter of the book, Jesus describes how the apostles will be his witnesses "in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth". In sum, Jesus explains that the messianic age will accomplish the restoration of the twelve tribes of Israel, just as the prophets had announced. Not only will the Jews receive the Gospel--i.e., those in Jerusalem and Judea (="Judeans" or "Jews")--but so will all of the twelve tribes. In particular, Jesus explains that Samaria will be included.
Philip's trip to Samaria is presented as fulfilling this promise.
Christ, the Spirit, and the Samaritans. That Philip preached "Christ" to the Samaritans is also significant given the lectionary readings' focus on the role of the Spirit.
Kings and priests were anointed ones--they were anointed with oil. This act was linked with the coming of the Spirit upon the anointed. This is probably most clearly seen in the anointing of David. In 1 Samuel 16 we read: "Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed [David] in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. (1 Sam 16:13)."
Why is Jesus "the Christ"? He is the "Anointed One", i.e., he is the one who comes in the Spirit.
Philip preaches that "the Christ", the Messiah, has come. The one who comes in the Spirit has arrived.
Furthermore, we might note that, in a certain sense, the messiah has come in Philip. Philip performs the same kinds of miracles and exorcism Luke describes Jesus performing. Christ is still active in the world only know he acts not through his personal body but through the ministry of the Church, his mystical body. For more on that, go here.
The Sacrament of Confirmation. Notably, then, in Acts 8 the Samaritans receive the "word of the God" and are baptized. However, interestingly, though they are baptized, they do not receive the outpouring of the Spirit. For them to receive that, the apostles Peter and John must go up to Samaria and lay their hands on the believers.
A similar story is also found later in Acts 19. There Paul, passing through Ephesus, finds believers who had been baptized but who had not yet received the Spirit. Paul confers the Spirit upon them through, once again, the laying on of hands (cf. Acts 19:1-7).
The stories in Acts 8 and 19 led to the understanding that there is a second sacrament of initiation after baptism--confirmation or chrismation. Although baptism and confirmation were celebrated together, Cyprian describes the way Christians received a "double sacrament", recognizing early on a distinction between what happens at baptism and what is involved with the laying on of hands--just as what happened in Samaria and in Ephesus.
Note too that this passage is also the reason confirmation is especially linked with apostolic authority, i.e., the bishop. While Philip (the deacon from Acts 6, not the apostle) proclaimed Christ and baptized, it is Peter and John who are dispatched to lay their hands on the Samaritan believers. Thus in our own day confirmation is linked in a special way with the bishop. In the west, the bishop--the successor to the apostles--is therefore the ordinary minister of the sacrament. In the east, the sacrament is conferred through the anointing of the myron blessed by the bishop.
What happened to the Samaritans, then, is a model for Christians. Like them, we are called to turn from sin and experience the grace of baptism. Yet, in addition to baptism, we are invited to receive the laying on of hands, through which we experience a special outpouring of the Spirit.
But wait... Don't we receive God's grace in baptism? What happens in the outpouring of the Spirit at confirmation that doesn't occur in baptism?
That's what the Second Reading helps explicate.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps 66:1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 16, 20
R/ (1) Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.or:R/ Alleluia.Shout joyfully to God, all the earth,The responsorial psalm is appropriate to the first reading. Through the ministry of the Church the Gospel spreads to Samaria, marking a major milestone in the spread of the Gospel. Christ had declared that his disciples would be his witnesses "in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth". The conversion of the Samaritans is a kind of down payment on the promise of universal blessing.
sing praise to the glory of his name;
proclaim his glorious praise.
Say to God, "How tremendous are your deeds!"
R/ Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
R/ Alleluia.
"Let all on earth worship and sing praise to you,
sing praise to your name!"
Come and see the works of God,
his tremendous deeds among the children of Adam.
R/ Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
R/ Alleluia.
He has changed the sea into dry land;
through the river they passed on foot;
therefore let us rejoice in him.
He rules by his might forever.
R/ Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
R/ Alleluia.
Hear now, all you who fear God, while I declare
what he has done for me.
Blessed be God who refused me not
my prayer or his kindness!
R/ Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.
R/ Alleluia.
We might also mention how the psalm uses "new exodus" language, language typically associated with the restoration of Israel in the prophets. Indeed, it is through the preaching of Christ that the new exodus is accomplished as we have observed elsewhere (e.g., here).
SECOND READING: 1 Peter 3:15-18
Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.
Always be ready to give an explanation
to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope,
but do it with gentleness and reverence,
keeping your conscience clear,
so that, when you are maligned,
those who defame your good conduct in Christ
may themselves be put to shame.
For it is better to suffer for doing good,
if that be the will of God, than for doing evil.
For Christ also suffered for sins once,
the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,
that he might lead you to God.
Put to death in the flesh,
he was brought to life in the Spirit.
Faith cannot simply be an emotional experience. Faith is not simply about the heart. It must also involve the head.
Indeed, this fits well with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which explains that one of the effects of the sacrament is that
"it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross" (no. 1303).
Jesus said to his disciples:
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept,
because it neither sees nor knows him.
But you know him, because he remains with you,
and will be in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
In a little while the world will no longer see me,
but you will see me, because I live and you will live.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father
and you are in me and I in you.
Whoever has my commandments and observes them
is the one who loves me.
And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and reveal myself to him."
Thomas writes, ". . . one loves, and as a result of this, keeps the commandments" (Commentary on John, no. 1934).
Here it is helpful to understand the Greco-Roman courtroom model that is probably in the background.[4] In such a setting there was no "public prosecutor". At a trial there were only private accusers (katēgor, Rev 12:10) who served as witnesses against the accused. Witnesses for the accused served as "advocates". The advocate was the one who defends accused in a courtroom and intercedes for him. It is used in ancient literature synonymously with synēgoros, a term which is the opposite of katēgōr ("accuser").
Of course, Scripture uses this kind of legal terminology for the devil. "Satan" is, literally, the "accuser" (cf. Rev 12:10; Job; 1:6ff.; Gen. Rab. 38:7; 84:2; etc.). In Jewish tradition, various figures were associated with the role of "advocate", including Moses [5], Michael [6], God [7], the Logos [8], and the Holy Spirit [9].
The idea then would seem to be that the Spirit is the witness on the side of believers. In fact, this also coheres with what is said later on in John 16:
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged." (John 16:7–11)Here the Holy Spirit is described as prosecuting the disciples' persecutors (John 16:7–11).
Trinitarian Theology. Jesus' promise to send another Paraclete is noteworthy for it implies that Jesus himself is also a Paraclete. In fact, 1 John clearly states that Jesus is a Paraclete: ""My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous" (1 John 2:1).
Moreover, by describing the Spirit as the Paraclete, the divinity of the Spirit is implied. Elsewhere in John's Gospel Jesus is said to be divine. Speaking of Jesus, John tells us that "the Word was God" (John 1:1) and that he is "one" with the Father (John 10:30). John 5 explains that Jesus taught that God was his Father and thereby made himself "equal with God" (John 5:18). If Jesus is a divine Paraclete and the Spirit is another Paraclete, he would also seem to be a divine person.
Why does he say, I will love, using the future, since the Father and the Son love all things from eternity? We should answer that love, considered as being in the divine will, is eternal; but considered as manifested in the accomplishment of some work and effect, is temporal. So the meaning is: and I will love him, that is, I will show the effect of my love, because I will manifest myself to him: for I love in order to manifest myself. (Commentary on John, no. 1935)
[1] There are some difficulties with using the passage from 1 Kings 17 as background information for those identified as "Samaritans" in Jesus' day. The Hebrew text is not as definite in describing the "Samaritans" as the LXX. See R. J. Coggins, Samaritans and Jews: The Origins of Samaritanism Reconsidered (Atlanta: John Knox, 1975), 9-10; V. J. Samkutty, The Samaritan Mission in Acts (LNTS 328; London: T & T Clark, 2006), 58-59.

Adding compost to your garden beds or lawn is like adding icing to a cake – it makes everything it touches better. Creating your own compost reduces household and landfill waste, encourages healthy biological activity in your yard, and enhances your soil for ideal gardening conditions.
Learn how to build your own compost bin, or select a tall plastic garbage bin to make one for yourself. Drill some holes on both sides for ventilation.
Pick a place in your yard to house your composter — one that's slightly shady to prevent the compost from overheating or creating a fire hazard.
Layering about 75 percent green materials (yard waste) and 25 percent brown materials (kitchen waster) is the first step to creating your own fresh compost. The gradual breakdown of these materials will cause the internal temperature of your pile to reach up to 140 degrees.
For yard waste, save all the fresh grass cuttings from your sprouting spring lawn, along with any plant clippings or pine straw.
The best and most commonly used ingredient in homemade compost piles is fallen leaves. They have a high carbon to nitrogen ratio, making them ideal for composting as they break down quickly.
Kitchen waste includes anything organic, such as banana and orange peels, apple cores, potato peels or egg shells. If you have the materials readily available, you can even add a scoop of soil to your compost to encourage microorganisms to flourish, and add a sparse amount of fertilizer to introduce more nitrogen into the compost.
Turn the materials inside your composter once or twice a week. If you've built a compost box, use a shovel or pitchfork for this task. If you've repurposed a garbage can, secure the lid using bungee cords and roll the can around on its side a few times to accomplish the same goal.
Once you've turned the pile, water the compost once a week. This is especially important in drier climates.
Some gardeners opt to not use a compost container at all, and instead section off a shady corner of their yard to create cold compost piles.
Cold compost piles are convenient for their low maintenance. You can add materials as you have them, in no particular order, and don't ever need to turn the pile.
The decomposition process can take closer to a year instead of the month or two you'll see with hot compost, however. Cold compost piles are also susceptible to weeds or disease that the heat from hot compost kills off.
Compost that is ready to use in your garden will be dark brown, free of bad odors, and you should be unable to identify any ingredients.
Use it in your garden beds to bring added nutrition to the soil of your veggie garden, or rake it directly into your lawn to encourage lush grass growth.

She's passing winks and downing drinks
She knows no moderation.
As His heart breaks in hers she thinks
"There's now no condemnation."
The prison that He freed her from
She's made into a palace
Where she's the queen who reigns supreme
She daily grows more callous.
The pain in His heart must be hard to ignore
When the bride He washed clean doesn't want to be pure
When the grace He poured out has become nothing more
Than a rag that is soiled and then thrown to the floor.
His love was displayed, demonstrated for sure
When He opened the way with Himself as the door.
He gave up His life for the joy set before
As His eyes saw the day she would grow to adore
When her eyes and her feet won't wander away
When her heart in His hands finds itself complete
When her gaze is now fixed and ceases to stray
When the lies that once plagued her lie dead in defeat.
When her lips that once cursed are declaring His name
To the lost and the hurting to bind up their wounds
When her hands join with His hands to break every chain
And her FriendShips cast off to save those who're marooned.
He's coming for a pure bride
Who knows her name and will decide
To break the altar of her pride
And set that thing on fire!
In the flames she's purified
And in His love she will abide
She stands forever at His side
In dazzling attire.
What once was red now white as snow
She didn't even really know
That every choice she made would show
If He had won her heart.
She knew that though she'd sin He'd bless
But He had called for nothing less
Than love expressed through holiness
She must be set apart.
No more fitting in, she's been called out
No more whispering, she needs to shout
No more compromise or chasing guys
And calling it "exploration."
No more little white lies
That are in disguise
She's called to consecration.
In righteous deeds the Bride is dressed
In peace her feet are shod.
In purity she walks as grace abounds.
By living water she's refreshed
Drawn from the word of God.
It overflows her cup and wets the ground.
A groan is heard across the earth
In every land and nation
The very ground beneath her feet
Awaits her manifestation.
For the sake of the world and for the sake of His heart, we're called to be holy.

In essay writing, it is a technique used to collect together ideas relating to a topic.
The exercise will inspire you to write original content for your essay, and thus make the essay writing process easier.
Whenever you get a great idea, you are most likely seeing the results of a subconscious brainstorming session.
On the subconscious level, it happens over a longer period of time, sometimes even years.
When you say, "Let me think about it, and I'll get back to you," you are beginning a subconscious brainstorming session.
To start, here are three new terms:
These identify three areas to a brainstorming session.
In the context of this article, divergent means unassociated, which implies that the ideas presented do not have to be reasonable, rational, or serious, just applicable toward achieving the end result.
The rules for divergent thinking are as follows:
So undertaking a divergent brainstorming session means writing your issue in the centre of your board, or piece of paper, and adding in around it ANYTHING that comes to mind.
To facilitate your creative process, try first writing a list of keywords that relate to the topic.
Then use these keywords to search on Google and see if you can see any issues, topics or key points that appear in the search results.
Convergent means coming together.
By looking at the solutions we identified in our 'ideas' session, and comparing them to the goal of your essay, convergent thinking weeds out unreasonable ideas.
The rules for convergent thinking are as follows:
Recursive means occurring again.
As you look into an issue, new twists arise.
Sometimes one solution doesn't work, but a twist of it will.
The rules for recursive thinking are as follows:
THE FIRST STEP IN THE ACTUAL BRAINSTORMING process is to identify the end result.
This means, identifying your purpose - writing a statement as to what you hope to achieve with your essay.
Decide whether you are going to brainstorm by yourself or with others, and then find a place with minimal interruptions to work.
A black or white board or a flip chart is useful, because being able to survey the ideas contributed is important to the process.
Write down the desired end result (i.e. the purpose of your essay) to focus your efforts.
Next, identify the objectives associated with the end result - what must you prove? What do you hope to show? What arguments must you reason against? Be sure to include any limitations as part of the objectives.
Now look at the end result and start throwing out ideas for accomplishing it.
When you aren't clear on how to proceed on a project, ask someone nearby to be your sounding board.
Use him or her to help you brainstorm the subject.
Describe the research issue you are interested in, and see what ideas you both have as to the relevant factors of that issue.

The fourth quarter of 2015 saw continued volatility in both domestic and international markets and ended, what was overall, a very challenging year. Despite these difficulties, SEDCO Holding Group was able to show robust performance against this tough backdrop by achieving healthy profitability across most key investment asset classes. Our profitability from direct and real estate investments grew whilst financial investment results were anaemic compared to market benchmarks. In fact, the solid performance in direct and real estate investments helped the Group counter the effects of the challenging financial investment returns.
We were able to drive better operating performance both at the holding level and in respect of our direct investment portfolio. Focus has been on promoting intercompany synergies, improvement of liquidity management, enhancing risk procedures to ensure capital protection, better managing expenses and implementing proper governance in the businesses acquired earlier in the year. We have also continued to pursue business development efforts, exploring new mergers and acquisition opportunities to take advantage of the market dynamics. In real estate, we were able to secure new income generating assets, dispose of others as necessary and take steps to advance our development efforts. From a corporate social responsibility perspective, I am also proud to say that we have spearheaded several community initiatives this quarter including SEDCO Green Environment, Volunteer Your skills, and Riyali Online.
Much of the achievement can be attributed to the hard work and dedication of our employees during the year and in particular the last quarter. The steadfast effort, exceptional teamwork and shared vision has resluted in SEDCO Holding Group recently being awarded the eighth best place to work in Saudi Arabia, moving up from eleventh position last year. I would like to thank each and every one of you in making this happen. It says a lot about our organisation and what we need to do together to continue to move forward.
Looking forward into 2016, the economic conditions are likely to remain challenging which should create opportunities to pursue. Looking further ahead, we need to be cognizant of technological advances, demographic changes and global economic shifts and the interplay between them. As a Group we must be ready to confront these challenges head on and look upon them as an opportunity to adapt for the better and reposition ourselves for market share growth. This will necessitate a shift in our mind-set, with a view to re-evaluate and improve the way we do and conduct business. All the while we must remain true to our values, be responsive to our stakeholders and ensure we continue to take concrete steps to align our broader mission to our goal of wealth and value creation whilst striving to serve our community.
Again, I would like to thank you all for your positive contribution to the achievements of 2015 and look forward to working with you in driving the business forward in 2016. I am positive that with your continued dedication, hard work and team spirit we will remain at the forefront of leading regional corporates and attain new heights and achieve new milestones in the years ahead.

Sources indicated that plans for a series of "SNL" specials to air Saturday nights have been in the works for months and are not related to the ongoing writers strike.Saturday has become a land of repeats for the major broadcast networks, and "SNL"-branded shows are considered a good alternative to drama reruns on the other channels. They also might help original "SNLs" at 11:30 p.m. when the show returns to production after the strike.NBC airs one or two "SNL" primetime specials each season, and they regularly do well in young viewers.The four "SNL" clip shows scheduled so far include "The Best of Will Ferrell" (Saturday), "The Best of Chris Farley" (Dec. 15), "The Best of 2006-07" (Dec. 15) and "SNL Goes Commercial" (Dec. 29).

Hello and a happy morning to everyone, Malcolm and I just finished updating the Ghost in the Kitchen website. Yes, I realize that it is only 7:46. Many people may wonder how we just finished updating so early in the morning and many people may ask - when did you guys get up? The fun answer to that question is that to wake up, we have to fall asleep first. After a solid six hours, the site is looking sweet. We added a new page - Current Events and added a form to submit dinner registrations. As well, I added a bunch of pics to the site, to try to show the quality of Glenn's meals and his expertise.
Now, as I am getting closer and closer to becoming legally intoxicated (24 hours straight) I am going to sit in my chair and laugh at random things that make me laugh... which is a lot at this moment.
Oh yea.... here is the site http://www.ghostinthekitchen.com
Taadaa! Tacos Rule.

"'Canes in San Diego's Mission Beach is right on the boardwalk." So begins the SD entry in a Band of Horses "Road Log" story in the last issue of Filter magazine. "It's a fairly disgusting place on multiple levels, and during soundcheck, a bachelorette party comprising five huge women wearing Mardi Gras masks and clutching penis-shaped water bottles wanders through the room.... Things could get a little ugly." Writer Pat McGuire found his fears justified during the July 6 gig.
"The San Diego crowd is not good. The place is packed, but I'd guess that merely half of the people here have heard the band's music before, and the room is filled with annoying chatter in between and even during the songs. The sound isn't mixed well, and Ben [Birdwell, singer] is visibly irritated.
"After the requisite whistles and cell phone camera flashes during 'Funeral,' he goes on a little tirade about how the crowd is only here to 'boost You Tube profiles' and is 'not even looking at the band.' It's not very professional, sure, but at the same time, I see where Ben's coming from. In the dressing room before the encore, everyone is frustrated, complaining about the shittiness of it all."
Before 3105 Ocean Front Walk in Mission Beach became 'Canes, various local bands had lousy experiences at the venue.
Deadbolt played the club when it was known as Chillers in the mid-'90s. Annoyed with the crowd's indifference and drunken heckling, front man Harley Davidson shot back at one patron, "At least I didn't pay six dollars for a fuckin' Slurpee, asshole." (A reference to the club's signature slushy drinks.)
Earlier in the '90s, there was the time aMiniature opened up for the long-washed-up Bay City Rollers, the Scottish glam-pop band of the '70s; management hassled aMiniature for daring to cover Rollers music in their set.
In April of 1997, a year after new ownership changed the name to 'Canes, promoter Bill Silva held a Prince after-show charity event at the club, charging $20 admission. (Silva had promoted Prince's show earlier that evening at UCSD's RIMAC arena.) Problem was, other patrons had already paid to see a different show Silva had booked there: Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, and Thingy (Rob Crow's pre-Pinback band).
The show started and ended early, with only Thingy playing a full set. People were herded out the door just after 10 p.m. Some were told by club personnel they could reenter for free if they lined up outside with everybody else -- not true. The touring bands were furious. Crow was almost assaulted by bouncers when he lingered on the dance floor, gyrating in suggestive lambada moves, his shirt off, stroking his hairy nipples.

text: SARATOGA SPRINGS -- After months of planning for their summer season at Saratoga Race Course, the owners of the Wandering Dago food truck received a phone call from a New York Racing Association official late Friday evening, who told them their food truck had to be out of the racetrack before it opened Saturday. The problem, co-owner Brandon Snooks said, was the business' name. Since they got the boot, co-owners Snooks and attorney Andrea Loguidice have received more than 100 emails from people -- some they've never even met who live in different states -- voicing support for the little barbecue-fusion food truck from Schenectady. Snooks and Loguidice even had a friend offer to loan them the $15,000 it would cost to rename their business, repaint the truck and rebrand everything, but Snooks said changing the name was never an option for him and Loguidice, who are both Italian and very proud of their heritage. To the co-owners, the term "dago" is not a racial slur but rather a moniker derived from Italian day-laborers and craftsmen -- like Snooks' grandfather -- who lobbied their employers to pay them at the end of the day rather than at the end of the week. When the Italian workers won the battle, they were paid as the day goes and called the same. "This is discrimination," Snooks said Sunday. "I have a hard time seeing how these people can tell us when and where we can work based on our name." Snooks said he wondered where the line in the sand of political correctness was drawn between his food truck and the Washington Redskins football team. NYRA spokesman Eric Wing said the issue should have been handled before the racetrack's opening day. But after the firm received complaints from track patrons about the name, officials needed to take action. "Saratoga's a very welcoming, family place. If patrons are telling us they are offended, that's important to us," Wing said. But Snooks said the NYRA official who phoned the owners at home at 10 p.m. Friday said it wasn't an issue with track customers, but rather an unidentified state official who complained that the name was offensive. "Someone pretty high up had to come in and give the word," Snooks said about being cut loose from the NYRA contract, which required a 30-day written notice of cancellation. The co-owners turned down several summer weddings and festivals to make the commitment to the track, because they wanted to "lay the groundwork for a relationship that would last a long time," Snooks said of the Saratoga Racecourse. And while Centerplate, the company hired by NYRA to supervise food sales at the track, has agreed to pay Snooks and Loguidice the money spent on food costs for the meet, it barely puts a dent in lost revenues the food truck owners will incur as a result of having an empty schedule for the next six weeks. It's a hard pill to swallow, Snooks said, because the business has only be operating for seven months. It's not the first time the Wandering Dago has been turned away from a venue because of its name. Earlier this summer, the business was banned by the Empire State Plaza Vendor Program. "It is ridiculous that we are a licensed New York state corporation, yet we are being blocked from doing business by state officials," Snooks said, adding that "they have no problem cashing our sales tax checks." The name of the food truck was approved by the state Division of Corporations, state Department of Taxation and Finance and Internal Revenue Service. Snooks said the co-owners aren't upset with NYRA or Centerplate and that the NYRA official that telephoned broke the news to them could not have been nicer. "We love the people in Saratoga; we love doing business with them. We were so welcomed when we got there ... it made this hard," Snooks said. "I hope everyone knows we never set out to hurt anyone."

Sister Rosetta Tharpe
by Rosanne Cash
I heard my dad mention her many times, and heard him say she was his "favorite singer." It wasn't until I was in my 40s that I really listened to her myself, and I understood what she meant to my dad, and how influential she had been. I can imagine him listening to hear over the radio, that combination of spiritual and badass, and how my dad integrated that VERY combination into his own musical persona.
"Strange Things Happening Every Day" is just.. chilling. It is like a William Faulkner novel in miniature and verse, set with a bluesy, plunking guitar; a Southern Gospel warning and hallelujah, a dark painting of a thrilling soundscape.
She was liberated– in voice, in movement, in phrasing, in musicianship. She seemed so confident, so authentic. It's hard to find this kind of deep authenticity now. There is no self-consciousness or artifice in her performances: she was just 'moved by the spirit', as they say. Perhaps she identified the 'spirit' that moved her as a particular kind of God, the Southern Christian God, but to me it is the spirit of the holiest kind of art: deep, pure, authentic, truthful and with an artistry that may not ever come this way again.
I have to say, she may be my "favorite singer."
[If you are interested in exploring more of Rosetta's music - the Original Soul Sister is a great 4-CD set and not that expensive while Gospel of Blues is a good single disc collection.]

For pretty much my entire life, I have played by the rules.
I always did what I was supposed to do. In high school I studied hard, never stayed out late, never broke any rules, and got into a good college. I wasn't perfect by any means–I know for a fact I drove my parents crazy at times. (Ahem, summer before and after my freshman year college. Unpleasant teenager, anyone?)
While I might not have always been the most pleasant person to be around, I continued to chug along with what I was supposed to do. Study hard, get good grades, get a job. I had my first job out of college lined up months before I graduated, then the next one lined up, then graduate school (I was supposed to advance my career, after all, right?), then the next job where I was able to learn and grow more professionally. Don't get me wrong, I am glad I took those jobs–in fact I loved my last one–and went to graduate school. What I learned at each of them has been invaluable and has taught me a lot about who I am, my interests, and what I am capable of handling (which is more than I would have thought).
Then last year, after my now-husband proposed to me, he brought up the idea of traveling extensively for awhile after we got married. Of course my initial reaction was unh unh, no way. Quit my job and travel for several months? I can't do that, how irresponsible of me!
And then I thought about it a little more, and the idea slowly started to sound not only feasible, but more and more appealing. After all, I had always played by the rules and now was my chance to take a risk and do something I secretly had always wanted to do but, being the rule-follower I am, never thought I would.
So we did it: we quit our jobs (of course, I gave my boss 11 months notice) and we traveled around South America for five months. And it was AWESOME! It wasn't picture-perfect everyday–in fact, sometimes I found constantly being on the go in countries where I often didn't know anyone other than my hubby, didn't know where anything was, and having to almost always communicate in Spanish to be downright exhausting at times, much more so than being at home, comfortable in my job and everyday life. But I am so glad I did it–I got to see and do things I would have otherwise never done, and I learned so much more about who I am. I learned I was capable of things I would have never imagined. I hiked (and I HATE hiking), I worked on a farm and herded sheep, I did manual labor, I lived in the jungle for a week with some huge and pretty frightening bugs that actually didn't scare me that much (minus the bullet ants which supposedly have the most painful bite that lasts for hours, and the little flies that carry flesh-eating bacteria, both of which I thankfully managed to avoid), I took some of the most terrifying rides of my life and lived to tell the tale, and I even went hang-gliding, much to my parents' chagrin (don't worry, I didn't tell them until after I had done it).
Now that I am back from that incredible journey, I find myself at a crossroads. I had figured that when I returned I would look for a job that would continue me down the career path I have been on, because that is the sensible, responsible thing to do.
But secretly, I don't want to return to work. I want to "break the rules" that I somehow set for myself and run my own business jewelry business (which, I should mention, has nothing to do with my previous jobs or what I studied in school).
What, sell jewelry? That's crazy!
Of course, I realize I can return to work and try having a jewelry business. However, if I am going to try a business then I really want to devote my energy to it, which is hard to do when you start a new full-time job. And if I start a new job, then I want to devote my energy to that. I'm sorry, I can't half-ass things, it's not in nature.
So what to do?
Well, I'm not sure yet. Do I continue to follow by the rules, taking a job that takes me down the road I have been working towards, or do I this opportunity to continue down that unpaved path I found myself briefly diverted to when I broke the rules by quitting my job to travel? That remains to be seen.

Shafik Rehman
Shafik is an elderly British journalist who was swept up in a crackdown on free speech in Bangladesh. He spent weeks in solitary confinement, without a bed, before being rushed to hospital with poor health. He was subsequently returned to a prison cell at Dhaka Central Jail. To date, Shafik has not been charged with any crime, but his arrest appears to have been politically-motivated and Reprieve is concerned that he could face a death sentence if charged.
On 30 August 2016, Shafik's release on bail was ordered by the Supreme Court, but he remains in custody. The case remains under investigation and Shafik remains at risk of the death penalty.
"This is a small and long-overdue step in the right direction. Shafik, who is increasingly frail, has already been through a shameful four-month ordeal of detention without charge. His release on bail today suggests that the long-delayed police 'evidence' against him isn't worth the paper it's written on. The Bangladeshi authorities must now drop their flawed investigation against this elderly journalist, and end the crackdown on press freedoms that led to his arrest in the first place."
Maya Foa, director of Reprieve's death penalty team
Shafik is a prominent journalist and magazine editor who has worked for the BBC. He was formerly a speechwriter for the opposition party, the Bangladesh National Party (BNP). Shafik was arrested on 16 April 2016 by plain clothed police officers who entered his home without a warrant posing as a camera crew.
Shafik has spent a lifetime advocating for freedom in Bangladesh, rallying international support during the 1971 war of liberation, and editing a paper that was banned by the country's military ruler in the 1980s and censored again in 2008. He is also widely credited with introducing Valentine's Day in Bangladesh.
Shafik is the third pro-opposition editor to be detained since 2013 and his arrest appears to be politically-motivated. It comes amid criticism of the Bangladeshi government following a series of recent attacks and arrests involving journalists, bloggers and opposition activists. In its 2015 human rights report on Bangladesh, the UK Foreign Office called for "an effective justice system, and a vibrant civil society and free media, able to challenge and hold authority to account" in Bangladesh.
A former U.S. ambassador to Bangladesh and Pakistan, William B. Milam, has said that Bangladesh's government "has silenced critics by resorting to enforced disappearances, torture and extrajudicial killings", and that journalists who, like Shafik, "dare cover any of this are being charged with sedition and treason."
Reprieve is assisting Shafik's family in London.

Psychic with wrong tip on Liberty County bodies fears attention
Psychic who sparked Liberty County search fears attention
Hunkered down in her trailer in the Texas Panhandle, a grandmother who had a vision that sparked a media circus and police search for alleged mass graves in Liberty County said she is being wronged and fears for children who may never be found.
"This is bad for people who call in a tip for something," she told the Houston Chronicle by phone Wednesday evening. "They think they have done a good deed, and it turns around on them."
The 48-year-old woman, who asked to only be identified by her nickname of Angel, said she never wanted any attention and fears the worldwide interest in the case will destroy her life if her identity is known publicly.
"I also have children and grandchildren," said the woman who agreed to be interviewed only on the condition she remain anonymous. "I'll be bombarded with media and all that. I do not like the spotlight."
Angel described herself as a reverend for a ministry that helps the poor and the homeless, and said that while she is based in Texas, she spends much of her time traveling to do God's work.
Sources close to an ongoing investigation confirmed Angel was truthful about her identity as well as that she'd previously shared information with law enforcement agencies in Texas.
Angel said she has had visions her entire life and after confiding with two friends who were having similar visions that three children could be in trouble, she contacted the Liberty County Sheriff's Office Monday.
Children were 'alive'
She strongly denied telling officers that they needed to search for bodies or that anyone was dead.
"They did not act on what I told them," she said. "My biggest concern is definitely the children," she added. "I think they are hungry and thirsty. They are still alive."
The Liberty County Sheriff's Office declined to comment on Angel's accusations late Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the sheriff's office said earlier in the day that it has not been able to verify any of the details provided by the tipster, including her name, location, or occupation, spokesman Rex Evans said.
And the tip she provided was false, he said.
Still, Evans said, "everything went by the book," even though officials did not know how the tipster had come to learn about the allegedly buried bodies.
"She did not specifically go into that," Evans said. "Not to my knowledge. I do not recall any specific details that she said she saw this or she felt this or she heard this."
Officials were searching for the tipster, but had made no progress, he said. The woman could face a minimum charge of filing a false report or making false statements, a misdemeanor, Evans said.
The tip that led to the media frenzy, which drew attention from around the globe amid rumors that a mass grave containing up to 30 dismembered bodies had been discovered, initially came on Monday, when the tipster called the Liberty County Sheriff's Office and reported that there were several bodies of children buried on a property in Hardin.
Deputies went to the property and found nothing, but in a subsequent call Tuesday the tipster redirected officials and offered more details that led them to a home with blood on the porch and the foul odor of rotting flesh in the air.
It was not clear how many times officials had spoken with the woman in total, but they did not know after their first conversation with her that she claimed to be a psychic, Evans said.
The blood was from an injury at the residence a few weeks earlier when an AWOL soldier tried to kill himself, and the odor was from a malfunctioning deep freeze full of pork products and maggots, officials have said.
'Got to look into it'
Officials did not discount her information when she told them she was a psychic, he said, and they followed the tip like they would any other.
Upon discovering the blood and odor at the property, deputies coordinated with the Liberty County District Attorney's office to request a search warrant for the home. They did not inform prosecutors that their information came from a woman who claimed to be a psychic, but did note the tip and the suspicious environment at the home, Liberty County District Attorney Michael Little said.
Although Liberty County officials have drawn criticism for their response to the tip, they said the factors at the home warranted a search.
"The question is when you have information of a serious nature like that people just can't sit on it," Little said. You've got to look into it. You've got to try to see if a crime had been committed or not."
Despite the tip's source, it had to be followed up on like any other that the county receives, Evans said. The search would likely have passed unnoticed had initial media reports not erroneously reported that dozens of bodies had been discovered at the site, sparking intense interest in the investigation, he said.
"I just wish that people would understand that, as a law enforcement agency, we're obligated to investigate things, and yesterday was simply us conducting an investigation to find out factual information," Evans said. "There was nothing more."

twitter, two blogs, a website, Facebook, Linked in, not to mention three different manual calenders, it's a lot to keep track of for someone with faulty wiring. It might be hard for someone with fully functioning wiring as well. Time management has always eluded me and in my attempt to keep the fraying edges of life together I have used every daytimer ever published, often all at the same time. Well, if one works three must work even better. Did you ever stop and think how mathmatical a calender is? It doesn't matter how pretty the pictures are or inspiring the prose, when you break it down it's still a grid with NUMBERS on it!!! for me; hieroglyphs .
Recently I discovered something called dys·cal·cu·li·a.
"(dĭs'kāl-kyōō'lē-ə) n. Impairment of the ability to solve mathematical problems, usually resulting from brain dysfunction." or, Dyslexia with numbers.
The more I read about this disorder the more my heart raced and realized that this is what has been plaguing me for the better part of 38 years. One of the ways it is affecting me in my adult life is in the area of time management. I have chosen jobs, hobbies and pastimes that are as unmathematical as possible. I believe that numbers are the universal language so avoiding math has caused me pathilogical angst and severe health issues.
I bake and cook, which I can honestly say I am very good at. Problem: math.
Early on, around age 11, I started memorizing recipes and learning intuitively, kitchen chemistry. I figured out ratios of butter, sugar flour and leavening agent needed for cookies, I could change the flavour by adding different spices or substituting cocoa for some of the flour to make chocolate. I memorized my great granny's pastry and brownie recipes. you can put ANYTHING in a homemade pie crust and it tastes fabulous!! or load up a hot brownie with chocolate chip mint icecream and people think you are a genius. Genius? Well, it explains a lot. Maybe people did think I was a genius because I got very good at covering over my mental challenges. The only problem is the stress got to me and I couldn't always keep up the facade. Next, I faced anger. I was fired from two jobs, I screwed up doing things that I had become proficient at, letting others down. My marriage has been a rollercoaster in large part from me trying to be something I'm not. Anything that is remotely driven by numbers takes massive quantities of Physical, emotional and probably spiritual energy.... and then I burn out. Hit the skids. Migraines, insomnia, muscle pain, digestive upset, dizziness..... It's a new experience around every corner, the gift that keeps on giving.
Ironies abound though; In one job working at a cosmetics counter I memorized every price for every teeny tiny product. Another job, I was the invertory girl for a weekly count, those days the headaches caused nausea they were so bad.
Life is a journey not a destination and part of my journey is to shamelessly find other people to help me with the stuff that I suck at.

Twelve months ago, almost to the day, our family home burned to the ground. We got nothing out. You may have seen it on the nightly news at the time.
In fact the media was kind of like the fire itself: hot as hell for 24 hours and then gone. We were left to pick up the pieces and carry on.
Here's what that experience has taught me over the past year:
It's All About Money
Standing in front of our burnt out home with my wife, and our baby, was the worst moment of my life. Yet to the guy at my insurance company, it was just another Monday morning.
His job was to pay out as little as possible — or at least hold on to the cash for as long as he could.
Insurance rep: "So you just need to let us know when you've found a builder, because we help you with your scheduled payments and …"
Barefoot: "That's not needed. I'd just like my payout. In full."
Insurance rep: "What we do is hold on to the money, and work with you to …"
Barefoot: "Every last cent. In my bank account. By the end of the week."
Insurance rep: "Oh … kay."
That guy, in 'industry speak', was a total knob. But to be fair, his colleagues were great (though it also helped that I had one of the best insurance brokers in the business working for me).
Speaking of knobs, it didn't take long for the lawyers to turn up. The story goes that the bushfire which took out our home was caused by untrimmed trees hitting power lines. Or at least that's what the fire truck-chasers said when they announced a multi-million-dollar class action.
At the time I publicly stated that I didn't want any part of it: our society is already litigious enough, and I don't like perpetuating the culture of blame. But then I spoke to a friend who was high up in the Black Saturday commission. His view was that, years ago, the electricity companies got their bean-counters to work out what would be cheaper: burying the power lines or paying out a class action for lives lost and legacies ruined. The class action won.
It's Not About Possessions
There's something strangely cathartic about fitting practically everything you own into a Toyota.
The last time I'd done it I was 18, in a 1966 XP Falcon, on my way to university, and my prized possession was a limited edition case of Duff Beer. This time round I had a sobbing wife and a screaming baby (and no beer).
Our wedding had only happened a year before, and we received three dinner settings. At the time I thought to myself: "Well, when the Socceroos come around for dinner we're totally set!" How wrong I was.
I don't miss stuff, only the things that can't be replaced: pre-digital family photos, my wife's wedding dress, letters from my childhood.
Today we're building a brand new home. At first I worried it would feel like one of those soulless, overstyled, display homes because, by necessity, everything would be brand spanking new. Yet that's not the case. Over the past year we've been sent letters and gifts from Barefoot readers that will form part of our new home. A new beginning has risen out of the ashes.
It's All About Family
That day, I remember looking into my wife's eyes and seeing how devastated she was.
It's the closest I'll ever get to being able to hover over her — Patrick Swayze ghost like — and watch her deal with my death. (And given she's younger, fitter, and a much safer driver than me, it's likely I'll be going to the great toaster in the sky long before she does).
Every day a wife, a husband or a partner, loses a loved one.
Eventually, it will happen to your family — and possibly when you least expect it. At that moment, the most loving thing you can do for them is the simple, unselfish act I'm about to share with you.
Now, I understand you're probably not going to do this. So I'm going to make it ridiculously simple for you.
All you need to do is go to Officeworks and buy a folder and some plastic pockets. Over the next month, as you pay your bills, create the following tabs:
Advisers: Write down the contact details of your accountant, lawyer, financial planner and stockbroker.
Bank accounts: Include account details and passwords for any account related to you with any money in it, and outstanding loans you have.
Investments: Print off your latest share portfolio (including share registry details), your managed fund holdings, your superannuation account details (along with your binding nomination), and titles to any properties you hold.
Insurance policies: Include all your policies, using a highlighter pen to circle the policy numbers and relevant telephone numbers.
Funeral instructions: I want Dire Straits' Money for Nothing to play at my funeral. I also want to go cheap on the burial — but expensive on the booze. Your ideas may be different. Write them down.
Personal documents: Include your birth certificate and marriage certificate(s), and copies of your driver's licence, passport, Medicare card.
Passwords: This is a big one. Facebook, Twitter, email accounts and whatever else you have. Just make sure everything is there so they can be shut down.
Up-to-date will: Remember to include the name of your executor and your enduring power of attorney.
Once you've finished putting together the folder, there are only two things left to do.
Find a safe place to store it (I'd suggest paying for a safety deposit box — houses can burn down).
Then write a letter to your spouse and your kids. Tell them you love them.
Tread Your Own Path!
