About ten in the evening...
Of course its Monday, the day when good Priests are supposed to take off and rest a bit but I have two jobs and so every day is a work day. The boss was sick today and will be tomorrow so it looks like I'll just keep moving until someone yells "Stop!" Busy is still better than bored.
There are the usual things on my mind, people in the hospital, all the calls I should be making but can't. This traveling thing has its own tradeoffs. We have more money now then ever and we're spending it on things that really need to be done but I'm away and so many of the normal pastoral things just fall through the cracks or I try to catch up on Saturday and Sunday if I can. As is usual I'm just plain tired but somehow I find a way to make it through. No complaints, though, because I knew this was how it was going to be when I signed on.
The truth is I have much for which to be thankful. Yes, it would be nice to have the money and people and facilities of a larger church. And for sure it would be great to drive a few minutes rather then a few hours to get home. But the people of St. Elias are good. Sometimes when a parish gets small the people do as well but there are a fair amount of folks at St. Elias who really do want something better for their parish and they're willing to work hard.
We're just in the process of refinishing the basement at St. Elias and the members who've worked on it have done a magnificent job. Everything up to date, walls fixed, new electrical, the works. I hope this is a more then just a renovation. I hope the people see what they, when they give their hearts to God and their hands to work, can do. There's more to fix and more to clean but the Ladies Group, just restarted this year, is getting busy on the kitchen and I anticipate this to be a summer of building and growth. Boy would I like to have a benefactor or a lottery win to kick it all into high hear!
My hope is that the people of St. Elias will keep on pushing forward. My fear is that somewhere along the line they'll lose hope. May angels protect us! Anyway I need to make calls tomorrow and start working on the Liturgy. There will be snow to shovel and lots to do at work. My cat is already asleep on the bed and I should be too.
Lord watch over your flock at St. Elias through this night and in all the days to come. Have mercy on their sinful Priest, and establish us by Your grace.
Good night.
This week's sermon in advance...
March 30, 2008
There are crosses, it seems, everywhere in our culture, on the sides of roads, around people's necks, on bumpers and buildings everywhere. Rock stars wear them as bling, cemeteries have them for hope, and bikers wear them as tattoos. A cross inspires veneration in one and loathing in another. In art they sometimes become masterpieces and other times the visual expression of an artist's contempt. They are simultaneously present in many places and banished from the public square. They are everywhere found and seldom understood, even by those who claim the faith they symbolize.
So what is a cross?
In its origins the cross was a tool of execution used by cultures before them but perfected by the Romans. It was a junction of two pieces of wood roughly in the shape of the letter "t" designed to promote a lingering death by torture and asphyxiation with a maximum amount of public spectacle for those sentenced to die under Roman law. Its effect as propaganda was immense because it displayed Roman authority and the consequences of rebellion and this is probably why the title "King of The Jews" was written over Jesus' head in all the common languages of the region as a reminder of what would happen to those who defied Caesar. The savagery of this method of execution was so profound that it was inflicted only on foreigners, Roman citizens like St. Paul, no matter how great their alleged crime, were executed by a swift beheading.
And it was because of Jesus' death on such a device that representations of it became the predominant symbol of Christian faith. To the early Christians the meaning of what occurred in that death transformed what the larger culture certainly saw as a representation of a dishonorable life and end into a symbol of victory, life, and hope. Although the earliest Christians already possessed an iconography of various symbols, lambs, fish, the good shepherd, none had both the power and depth of the simple representation of two lines crossed. We Orthodox continue this veneration of the cross because we see what the Romans had perfected for torture as the very place where our Lord voluntarily gave up his life and in doing so broke the ultimate power of sin and death and in doing so provided a way for us to be restored to union with God.
The cross for us, as Orthodox is not a place of punishment where an angry God, offended by our sins receives a sacrifice sufficient enough to turn away his wrath. The cross is not the place where Jesus stepped in to deflect the angry blows of God directed towards us. These images are understandable because this is what the Romans designed the cross to be; an instrument of punishment, but it is not our Orthodox understanding.
When you see a cross in the Orthodox setting you see Jesus, not flayed and tortured like in the movie "The Passion of the Christ" but already dead, peaceful, and remaining full of grace and power. Certainly the sufferings of Jesus were real but we, as Orthodox, already see beyond them as Jesus did and we are aware of the timeless significance of those hours on the cross even as we see Jesus' body at rest.
We know that where others see defeat and death we see victory and life. Where some may see another triumph of the Roman empire and the religious leaders who brought Jesus to trial we see the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in the aftermath of conquering everything that has kept we humans broken and apart from God. Even as Jesus' lifeless body is on the cross he is entering the realm of death and pillaging it, removing all who would respond from the grip of hades. The thief is already in paradise and hell shudders.
The world sees powerlessness but we see the most amazing display of power. The world sees brokenness but we understand that healing has come. The world sees the strength of darkness, but we know that in three days time a light will come that can never be overtaken by the night. In that cross we already see the seeds of the resurrection and so even in the middle of this disfiguring moment there is hope.
And from all of that a well of gratitude should spring up in us. God in love entered our world to teach us how to live and out of love voluntarily allowed himself to endure suffering and death so that its ultimate power could be broken and we could be restored. Even sin and pain and death are not so powerful that they could not be swallowed up in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. One day we will know this for ourselves because in union with Him even death can never have the final word on our destiny.
In this middle of Lent, when the novelty of the fast has grown cold and when, if we are facing our sins a kind of weariness may set in, we have this day to look into the distance and see the cross, the tree of life, and take hope. In a few short weeks we will be singing "Christ has risen from the dead trampling down death by death…" and knowing that alone you will understand the cross we venerate today.
Attack and desecration...
Anti-war protestors interrupt an Easter Mass at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago by yelling and spilling stage blood on the nave and worshippers. Catholic churches have experienced any number of such assaults by activists of various kinds and as you watch the video note that the Cathedral, perhaps from past experience, had hired private security guards anticipating just such a possibility.
There are a growing number of people who feel it's their right to protest larger social issues or individual items of church policy or doctrine by using worship services as stages for their grievances. Interestingly this seems to be a phenomena, at least in this country, directed almost entirely at Christian churches. I've not heard of a story where a group of protestors, for example, stand up and interrupt Muslim prayers to make a point. Perhaps it feels "edgy" to invade a parish and desecrate the service (especially knowing the congregants aren't likely to fight back) or maybe these are just folks who see themselves as above the rights of others because of of their perception of the righteousness of their cause. Certainly there is a double standard at work. Imagine the outrage if a group of observant Christians stood up in the middle of a service of the Metropolitan Community Church and protested in the same way as the Rainbow Sash folks do every year in your local Catholic parish!
Regardless, we Orthodox should not expect that we'll be immune from these attacks and desecrations. We live in an amoral time when the basic common sense rules of decency don't seem to apply from Congress to classrooms so why should a parish be immune? The truth is that one day our own vision of faith and its implications for people's lives and the greater society, hidden for decades under our ethnic cloak, will become known and we will be a target as well.
Expect it but don't be afraid. Attacks like these indicate the desperateness of the attackers. Having failed to convince people, and sometimes themselves, by rational argument they seek ever more dramatic measures to make their point. Why would a mature, self confident, gay person feel the need to wear a rainbow colored sash and disrupt a worship service? Why would people supposedly arguing for peace feel the need to harrass the very people they are trying to convince? In that uncertainty action replaces introspection and inflicting onself on others becomes a form of validation when the normal channels are insufficient.
It may also be that God is allowing a little fire to come our way to burn away the flabbiness and help us to be who we were meant to be. Having been given all the priviledges of American law and society it is safe to say that we American Christians, certainly we Orthodox, have accomplished only a tiny fragment of what we should have with all our blessings. We, and I, remain self absorbed and in many ways identical to the larger materialistic culture around us. Perhaps we need some pressure, certainly I know I do, to help us put aside lesser things and direct our lives to things higher. In an off beat way these sad, desperate folks interrupting services may be a kind of prophet, their own actions and character warning us of things to come and calling us back to that which matters.
What do you think?
Some of you of my vintage may remember Ken Curtis who played the nasally deputy Festus to Matt Dillon in TV's "Gunsmoke". Well, that man had pipes and worked as a singing cowboy in the movies, with the Sons of the Pioneers, and as a solo. He's passed on now, but if you like cowboy music take a listen. By the way, are you as shocked to discover this as I am? The best equivalent I can remember is the magnificent voice that came out of Jim Nabors who played the nerdy hick "Gomer Pyle" on The Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle USMC.
Yes we can rock...
Extremely cool.
The Ties that Bind...
Good Friday...
For the most part I am appalled at media's coverage of religion. There are few reporters willing to do the leg work to go beyond the stereotypes and many who seem to approach the topic the same way a child approaches a plate of brussel sprouts. The complaints, especially from the religiously observant, about bias and incompetence in the media regarding religion are mostly true.
This story is an example of that, although the ABC radio journalist did mention after the fact that the Catholic Church frowns on the practice of self crucifixion. What was important was not how many millions around the world were commemorating the death of Jesus but rather what kind of bloody freak show they could dig up combining both an attempt to snare the gullible into listening while also conveying contempt for Christianity. If you have the patience don't be suprised if a story like this leads the news next year as well.
That kind of shoddy work is why I almost always start my day with a quick peek at www.getreligion.org , perhaps the single best www site out there examining the way the media covers, or fails to cover, religious news. GetReligion asks the important questions and evaluates the data in a professional and thoroughgoing way and especially now in the Lenten season when mainstream media outlets deliberately seek out controversy, sideshows, and heretics to cover it can be a most valuable place to get some focus.
The Church and AIDS in Africa...
A March snow...
That's not unusual, though, because even as the daylight grows and the fierce northwest winds subside the snow still comes. Thick flakes today, wet with moisture and covering everything in a coat of white. By tonight most of it may be gone because the weather and the change of seasons cannot be denied but still in the small hours of the morning there is a kind of beauty to it all, a memory of the best of winter.
Being the stoic folks we are we often find ways to rationalize about the weather. In winter when the snow falls deep and travel becomes messy and the pace of our lives unwinds we often rationalize it all by saying "Oh well, we need the moisture." It's our way of coming to terms with a nature that's bigger then us and our own fragility in the face of it all but right now it's actually true as well. We're pretty dry. Most of the large snow storms this past winter have journeyed south of us into Iowa and through Illinois, nicking the edge of Wisconsin as they pass. We're below average, water wise, and every bit of wet we get will make a difference months from now.
There is a double blessing in a March snow. In a dry time it brings vital water and no matter how much we get in March there is a different sense about it. A March snow still brings things to a crawl, still messes up our lives, still makes everything inconvenient to us as defined by our current "gotta have it now " culture, but its different. A foot of snow in December means we have at least two months to deal with it. A foot of snow in March may be gone in two days. On occasion tulips will show their leaves right through a March snow, and our own hope emerges as well. Spring is coming and nothing snow can do will change it.
Math, Creation, and God...
Rules of the Fast...
A good morning...
1 in 4...
Apparently not, and therein lies a lesson. Some time ago I heard a Christians speaker named Tony Campolo and among his comments was his belief the Christian life would be worth living even if there was no heaven.The story above is a case in point. The ancient wisdom of those Christian traditions and texts stressing faithfulness, chastity, and marriage, far from being some less enlightened notion, are proving to be the way of health and wholeness as disease responds to our lack of inhibition. Nothing but the Christian life will ever stop the ills of our indulgent and godless culture and even if we don't see ourselves as "religious" thier truths are still inevitable.
That all being said it's been one of the discoveries of my life as I grow older, how the Christian path just makes sense, how it flows with the rythms of nature and how its call to live in the world and with others is the way not just to eternal bliss, but to true contentment even in this broken world. How realistic Christian faith is, how practical, how life enhancing, how deep a well it is full of life giving water! My life is most at rest when it flows within this Faith and most troubled when it flows away because these truths were built into the very design of things by the Creator. And so it is, or at least should be, for the world as well.
On stem cells...
Another thought...
A feast beneath the snow...
Throughout the winter as the deer and the animals cross the roads they can fall prey to passing cars and trucks. Thrown violently into pieces they die and freeze and often get covered with snow. In the woods beyond others follow their natural course and pass away. The God who sees sparrows falling remembers but we care little and soon forget; until spring. As the snow retreats all the places where these animals were entombed are revealed again, deer with lifeless eyes peering from shrinking snowbanks, raccoons resting places uncovered by the growing sun.
And it is at this point, when winter has come to the end of its course and those animals who have endured are gaunt with it's scarcity that the feast is revealed. In the course of things fresh meals emerge with the lengthening daylight and between the harshness of winter and the renewal of spring there is enough to make the final push through to the thaw. Coyotes and crows, eagles and weasels and anything from bear to bug are fed by an invisible hand as death gives life in its timeless way.
Such is the way of things along the bluffs and in a hundred hidden coulees where the roads and the land and the river intersect. Such is the way of things, death giving life, in a more profound and heavenly understanding, as Lent blankets the world.
Post 500...
I started this blog not knowing for sure what I was attempting to do and only certain there were things I'd like to say and perhaps it would be of some value to record life on the road and whatever thoughts came to me along the journey. I wondered if it were perhaps a bit pompous to think that what I had to say even mattered.
Along the way the blog has been kind of a diary that I share with whoever drops in, the book I intended to write but never quite got around to doing, and a log of the miles and people and miscellanea encountered on the road from St. Paul, Minnesota to LaCrosse, Wisconsin. It's rapidly approaching three years now of travels to St. Elias Church, three years of seven day weeks, three years of motels and its been an adventure. When I get older people make think I'm making it all up, some kind of "Fr John story" they can politely dismiss as an old man's fancy.
I've wondered, sometimes, what I will do if and when I ever actually live in the same vicinity of the parish I serve. What will I call the blog when there are no more travels? But right now its Monday night, I'm a bit road weary and getting ready for the First Sunday in Lent. Home seems like a long way off and I might have to make the run for who knows how long until I finally find it.
Until then I'll just keep traveling and writing and hoping that it blesses whoever comes along to read.
Privacy matters...
Privacy matters, the ability to know that your life is free from undue scrutiny is a bedrock of a free society. Quite frankly this current administration has, in my opinion, significantly eroded the protections that ordinary citizens have from government and corporate interests having access to all kinds of details of our lives whether there is just cause or not. The current strategy of protecting against "terrorism" by leaving borders undefended and large parts of our commercial infrastructure uninspected while increasingly invading the privacy of people just trying to go about their lives seems to have left sense behind.
Someone once said that those who choose to give up their freedoms for security will end up with neither and government, with corporate cooperation, is in the process of making that nightmare come true. Sadly very few in the political class seem to care about this and the issue still hasn't made it above the horizon in the current campaigns. Too many people are focused on the details while the foundations are slowly being hacked away. What 's actually more important, that people have some help with a mortgage or have the freedom to live their lives without some government hack taking a cruise through your private life whenever they feel like it? Do the math.
Divine justice...
He called the Council President and in his best hacking, sneezing, sick, voice told him that he was sorry but he was just so ill and although he really wished he could be there he just needed to rest and so he couldn't serve that day. When the call was over he got into his clothes, slung the bag over his shoulder, and headed to the golf course.
Meanwhile in heaven the angels were watching the whole thing and reported the matter to God questioning Him as to what he was going to do about Fr. Peter. God calmly replied, "Don't worry, it's handled."
Arriving at the golf course Fr. Peter stepped to the first tee, placed his ball, and swung. The ball exploded off the tee, straight and true over the entire length of the fairway, took three hops and plopped into the cup, the shot of a lifetime. At this point the angels were deeply puzzled. Didn't God see what had happened and had He forgotten about what Fr. Peter had done? Sputtering and incoherent they asked God why he allowed a hole in one as a reward for such deeds.
God replied "So who's he going to tell?"
Punishment for atheism...?
It's important to remember that whenever you read about a lawsuit the coverage will be about the initial charges, the claims of the plaintiff packaged to make the most emotional impact possible. It's a strategy to gain publicity, sympathy, and in effect make the opening arguments of the case long before it actually comes to court. This effort is enhanced by the fact that many defendants, unlike plaintiffs, are bound by privacy laws which don't allow them to divulge information that would exonerate them before trial or the simple fact that a news story can come into play before a defendant has even read through the first documents of the case.
My guess is that in a couple of years when both sides have been heard the claims, as they often are, will be much less dramatic, hammered down to size by the cool process of law.
A thought...
Religion and war...
First, in the matter of sheer body count its probable the officially secular and athiestic regimes of the 20th century probably have the honors. The mechanized and systematic killing of the century past simply has no counterpart in human history and resembles something more like an epidemic illness in its gross killing power then the battlefields of even the prior century and certainly less then the supposed "dark ages".
Second, one needs to do some critical thinking and analyze the actual causes of war. There are many cases where religious belief was used by the prevailing authorities as one way to legitimize a particular war, and certainly people who were personally devout have fought in wars and perhaps even seen their involvement as a form of devotion, but not nearly as many cases where religion itself was the actual cause of the conflict. It is probably a fair criticism to say that too often religious groups have lent uncritical support to governments as they embark on wars but even that support does not mean a given war's source is religion, just that religion has allowed itself to become a tool of the larger effort to support a war. A small bit of rational investigation yields the conclusion that war is the sad result of many causes and effects and rarely is it so simple to say that "religion" is the single source of any conflict and often its not even a contributing cause.
The point in this is to help a person think beyond the sound bite and if you can they usually see the complexities of history and discover that a phrase like "More people have died in wars caused by religion..." is simplistic and functionally useless. It's also good for Christians to not be afraid of people making such claims because many who make them are simply regurgitating something they've heard over and over and assume that the repetition of an idea is related to its veracity. A little information beyond the sound bite can sometimes make all the difference.
As for the antagonist who just like to throw things like that in your face to justify whatever it is they're thinking at the moment just remember pearls before swine and such and walk away. That they feel this is some kind of conclusive argument against religion indicates a kind of shallowness of thought that should only be encountered if there is some reasonable hope of growth. If not, you just argue in circles and time and energy go to waste. Let your life do the debating and the Holy Spirit do His work. The harshest critics of our faith often make the best proponents when grace comes calling.
Moses high...?
And, oh by the way, he bases this in part on his own chemically induced experiences. Are you suprised?
This past evening I was reformatting and loading my own IPod, a 30gb U2 signature edition I purchased because it had a last generation price. A quick look at the playlist shows I have a lot of Mozart, a whole bunch of Orthodox chant, and then anything goes from the Ramones to Janis Joplin, the Allman Brothers, and Nat King Cole. What does that say about me? Maybe I'm a bluesy sort of classical chant guy who every once in a while likes to rip it up with best punk band ever. Who knows?
Some things, though, are certain. I find the playlists on most commercial radio to be garbage, whiney pop singers or rap music, country singers who haven't a clue and millionaire rockers complaining about the darkness in their lives. So I like the ability to pick and choose, to not have to take what they think is best for me and like it. Perhaps its that, and not the songs per se, which reveals the most about me. Somewhere in all the craziness of the world I want at least some little world where I call the shots and control the switches. Maybe that's why IPod s are everywhere.
And so it is with the Kingdom of God.

So, have you guys heard of Birchbox yet? I started hearing the name from various bloggers, finally had time to go and check it out, and I've decided... it's pretty awesome. The basic premise is that for less than most of us spend at Starbucks in a month ($10 a month), you will get a box each month filled with beauty samples from great brands like Smashbox, Kate Spade, NARS, Zoya, and a bunch of others. I love this because it will allow me to try so many products and find what I love before committing to something pricey. I signed up at the end of December, so I recently got my first Birchbox, and it kind of rocked.
This month's box-o-goodness contained the following:
:: A granola sample from 'wichcraft. A little random. On to the good stuff.
:: Concealer from Miracle Skin. Seems like it would work well enough, but it wasn't quite my shade. No big deal, the remaining contents more than make up for it.
:: VMV Hypoallergenics Re-Everything Eye Serum. I don't know what this is or how it works, all I know is that when I tried it, I looked decidedly awesome. And it's a pretty big sample, and will probably last me forever.
:: Juicy Couture's signature fragrance. This is one of my absolute favorite scents, and I was so excited to get it. I almost bought it recently, but opted for Miss Dior instead (which is amazing). Now I have both. And the sample has a spray nozzle. I win.
:: Zoya nail polish in Megan. I'd been hearing about Zoya for a while, and all reviews said it was the longest lasting nail polish around. So you can imagine my delight at getting it in an awesome light-ish gray color. I've been wearing it for almost a week, and so far, not a single chip. I'm in love.
I can't wait to see what else I'm going to get each month, and I'll try to keep you guys updated. There's a wait list to join right now, but if anyone wants an invite, feel free to send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Little Sprouts
little sprouts
2019 should be an exciting year. Our workshops and events for adults have become a favorite way to spend a Saturday morning or afternoon. For several years we've had the periodic question "Don't you have any workshops for kids?" Well, we thought we'd better give it a try. Starting in January 2019 we're rolling out a year's worth of monthly events just for kids!
Little Sprouts is a program designed for grades 1 through 4. (Approximate age of 6 to 10 yr. olds) We've always enjoyed sharing the world of plants with our adult students and now we're excited at the opportunity to introduce the next generation of gardeners to the wonderful world of plants!
The goal of the Little Sprouts program is to get kids excited about gardening!
This program consists of monthly activity sessions about plants. Each month we'll have an activity, look at some pictures, and maybe watch a video or two about plants. Then we'll have an opportunity to make a project that pertains to what we're learning about. And lastly we'll send them home with ways and ideas for them to "go further" with this topic.
We will require a minimum of 5 students in order to hold a session.
Registration for each month's event begins on the First day of the month. You can register by visiting the store, or by using our website. We will close registration by the 10th of each month to make sure we can prepare all the materials we will need.
We'll meet on the 3rd Saturday of every month at 3:30 in the afternoon. Our sessions will last between an hour and an hour and a half (60 to 90 minutes).
Visit the Little Sprouts Store to see what's coming up in the next few weeks or download the flyer with the full year's events by clicking on the photo on the right.
Where, you say? Why at Handy Andy's of course! We'll start out each session by checking in with someone in the classroom. From there, depending on the time of year and the weather, we'll explore the entire grounds. Sometimes we may spend our activity in the back courtyard, in a greenhouse looking at plants, or among our trees. We'll always finish our session back in the classroom.
Our goal is to get the next generation of people excited about the growing of plants. There are many reasons to be excited about plants; for fun, for food, and just to enjoy nature.
Each session we'll encourage you to check in your child with us in our classroom and there you can leave them with us while you get a break. We will have adults present as instructors and care providers. At the end of the session we also would ask that you come in and pick up your child to take them home. At no time will we recommend that the kids be in the parking lot without an adult present.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can my younger child attend these events?
Children mature at different levels and rates. We are not going to turn you away and would rather you (the parent) make that judgement call. If your younger child is comfortable being away from you for that length of time and they have good dexterity with regard to using a pencil and other hand utensils such as scissors feel free to register them for the event.
You may also choose to do what some have one, and have siblings come to the event together. Lastly, you may choose to stay if you wish to help your child.
Does your child have an allergy such as a bee sting? If so we would recommend that you send their emergency epi-pen with them to the event. Those who work here on a daily basis generally do not experience stings or issues with pesky insects but accidents can happen. We will of course require contact information from you so that we can reach you if an emergency would occur.
Will there be a snack or food provided?
Since we are meeting at the time that we will meet, there will not be a snack provided as part of the fee. If your child does need to eat during this time we would ask that you send something with them in their bag or their pocket.
Do I have to register for the full 12 sessions?
No, you may register for sessions you are interested in. In an attempt to offer you a price break we have provided ticket packages (punch-cards) as an option to lower the cost of events by buying more than one ticket. These tickets however must be spent this calendar year.

Downtown Cleveland Wedding - Fine Art Film
Downtown Cleveland Wedding - Fine Art Film.
Angelica & Chris had a beautiful summer day for their downtown Cleveland wedding at Windows on the River. The excitement that their friends and family shared with them made their day even more special. Their traditional Catholic vows were exchanged in Saint Patrick's Parish, one of most beautiful churches in Cleveland. The ceremony was decorated with simple greenery, letting the ornate character of the churches architecture take the spotlight. Lots of tears were shed as Angelica's father escorted her down the aisle. There's no doubt that Angelica's parents and sister were so excited to share this moment with her.
The couple celebrated their day at Windows on the River. The industrial space was refined by soft pastels, lush florals, and crisp white linens. My favorite moment was their perfectly-executed choreographed dance to Dave Matthews Band.

My house is dark when I wake up at two in the morning, woken by the approaching storm. I sigh and get out of bed, grabbing my torch before heading to my basement to check the power box. Storms and power failures go hand in hand in my suburb, and I can't afford a good generator either.
As I step into the hallway, I think I hear something shuffling in the dark. Probably my old dog, Maxi. I flinch at the flash of lightning and the explosive thunder that comes close enough to shake the windows.
I hate storms, but unfortunately I live in a stormy area, and it's the height of summer. Storm season. Just a few more weeks before winter chases the storms away…
Shaking my head, I walk down the hallway, beam travelling over the various pieces of art that I've collected over the years. My favourite piece is a painting of and old robed man sleeping under the Boer War Monument.
At least, I hope he's asleep. There are a lot of weird rumours surrounding that piece, but I like it.
Lightning lights up the sky again as I find the door to the basement and open it. Something in the dark makes me shiver, but I push it aside. This is reality, not one of the horrors I like to write in my spare time.
The stairs creek as I walk down into the darkness.
Something knocks an empty paint can over, and I turn to the sound. Sickly yellow eyes stare at me from the darkness, and something leaps at me, ghastly arms extended to grab a hold of me. I stumble backwards, falling over a chair and landing hard on my back as I let out a shrill, terrified scream.
The lights come back on.
I'm alone.

Game Week 24 FPL Tips
Game Week 24 Tips: Our first thoughts
Sponsored by Premier Punt
Another game week down and a few more points in the bag after the most popular captain picks (excluding Lukaku) bagged a goal or two for many managers, but as we edge nearer towards the final third of the season I know I am getting a little bit antsy about my team and so I have hit the good old 'activate wildcard' button which has put me at ease momentarily - but that's enough about my own personal traumas.
We have a break next weekend as we see the FA Cup return for the second time in January (this time with the 4th round fixtures) and so we look ahead to the midweek fixtures set to take place on 2nd and 3rd February. The last time we had midweek fixtures was earlier this month when there was so much excitement and anticipation, only for most Fantasy Premier League managers to record some of their lowest scores. That won't stop us getting just as excited for GW24 though and so to business…
Game Week 24 Picks:
Sunderland Vs. Man City is the first fixture that really stands out and of course Sergio Aguero will be hotly sought after for this fixture following the 4 goals he has scored in his last 2 outings, but if that is not enough to make you back Man City then we have a little more insight for you.
Man City have already played Sunderland twice this season, once at home in the league and once at the Stadium of Light in the League Cup. City rode out 4-1 winners on both occasions with Aguero scoring in the League Cup game (he was injured for the EPL game) and KDB and Raheem Sterling scoring in both fixtures. If we look back to the same fixture last season, city were 4-1 winners again with Aguero scoring two and assisting one in that game.
If you fancy a flutter on the 4-1 scoreline happening again then you can get 20/1 on that price and a £50 free bet with Ladbrokes here using promo code F50. Using your £50 free bet would net you a whopping £1000! Click here to grab this offer now.
These stats are pretty consistent and although City have been inconsistent on the road this season they have enough fire power to do damage to Big Sam's backline in this important game. I have heard lots of managers on Twitter saying that they have had enough of KDB but it is worth sticking by him for this game as he seems to enjoy playing against the Black Cats. Sterling is a good differential pick but I do prefer the more reliable Kevin De Bruyne.
West Ham take on Aston Villa at Upton Park having performed admirably against Man City and it was Dimitri Payet who shone despite not getting on the scoresheet or getting an assist. He and Valencia (scored 2 against City) are top picks for GW24 and although Villa have looked much tighter of late they are likely to come unstuck against this excellent West Ham outfit. Villa are in desperate need of points and a draw is simply not enough so they will have to gamble here, with West Ham being astute enough to punish them dearly if the gamble doesn't pay off.
Leicester and Liverpool scored 8 goals between them in GW23 and although it looks like Leicester have the better defence at the moment there could be a number of goals for both sides in this one. I tipped Roberto Firmino as captain last week and he duly obliged with 2 goals and an assist and I can see him bagging again this week.
Jamie Vardy return to the score sheet to bag his 16th Premier League goal of the campaign in a very impressive 3-0 win over an underperforming Stoke side and he can do some damage against this makeshift Liverpool defence. Leicester are out of the FA Cup so they have a rest this weekend and will be all the fresher for it, but I still wouldn't like to predict a winner in this one – but if pushed I would say Leicester will edge a thrilling encounter. Forget Mahrez, stick with Vardy and put Firmino in your team as Klopp looks set to stick with the Brazilian up front for the time being.
Norwich face Spurs who showed real character and style to beat a good Crystal Palace side in GW23 with Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen the players to impress. Steven Naismith got off to a good start for Norwich on his debut against Liverpool but this will be a tougher game for him so he might want to stay on the watch list for now. Norwich have conceded 11 goals in their last 3 games and this Spurs side have more than enough firepower to add pressure to their weak defence. Harry Kane should be in your team and Dele Alli is amost impossible to ignore after yet another stunning display last weekend.
We will be back later this week with more on gameweek 24 and we also have some exciting members only articles coming up this week too. Look out for our player profile on Roberto Firmino in the members area from Monday and of course you won't want to miss our weekly podcast as we are such a roll with our tips right now.

Used my wildcard since my team has been performing bad. Currently have GK: De Gea, Hennessey DEF: Sagna, Dawson, Alderweireld, Cathcart, Fuchs MIDS: Alli, Firmino, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Payet FOR: Valencia, Kane, Aguero
Should i downgrade De Bruyne to bring in costa/ another forward over Valencia?
nice team, I like valencia, , i used wildcard 2 weeks ago, I really like costa as well, I might upgrade lukaku to costa however lukaku has a double game week potentially in week 25 (capital one cup). Valencia could do well against A.Villa this week so maybe hold whilst chelsea plays @ watford. West ham has good fixtures,

No, not at all. While not as bad the official on Tuesday night, the referee was poor today and did not give Mullin any protection at all in particular.Stats say we fouled 22 times to their 4. Were we that dirty and Morecambe that clean? Also, a report says Shrimps should have had a penalty for handball at 1-1.
Nobody that matters I would hope.We've got a midweek Checkatrade game before Macc on Friday so some interesting decisions ahead for Micky as to which players will have to play 3 games in just under a week.
Maybe a bit of sour grapes. I think hot head Ellison had something to do with it before Nico got involved. Davies look outraged, so not sure what was said.Anyone know what sparked the handbags at the end of the game?

Guest Blog – DOW Floormate Hill Barn Case Study
Posted on October 26, 2016 by CCF
Dow Floormate – Product Information
Floormate -AP products are manufactured in the UK using technology that takes CO2 from industry and uses it as a blowing agent in order to create blue extruded polystyrene foam with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than five.
The process of extruding polystyrene foam generates a mass of small, homogeneous closed cells which give the final product high design loads, low water absorption and excellent insulating properties. Such features mean the material can be installed outside the waterproof envelope, the right design choice when aiming for an 'envelope' of continuous insulation that minimises heat loss.
Case Study – Hill Barn
Located in the heart of the English Cotswolds, Hill Barn was a derelict 300-year old barn situated in a prominent and beautiful location on a hillside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Designed to safeguard an important local environment, the AONB designation made the prospect of obtaining planning permission for any development of the barn a daunting prospect.
To address this challenge, architect Helen Seymour-Smith developed a bold and ambitious proposal which involved a breakthrough building. This was Under hill House. Constructed underneath and adjacent to the barn. Therefore itself would be carefully restored and used as an office for Helen's architectural practice.
In contrast, the house – set to be home for Helen, her husband and young son – would be strikingly modern. Dug into the hill and invisible from the surrounding countryside. This development was designed to have minimal visual and environmental impact.
Not only is the external form of Underhill House designed to minimise environmental impact. Also the interior form and construction materials were carefully chosen. This is to make the building as environmentally sustainable as realistically possible. The structure of the underground house is constructed entirely from concrete. Much of which has been left exposed internally to exploit the benefits of the thermal mass of the material. The basement walls, floors, and roof are all insulated with FLOORMATE-AP and waterproofed externally for the same reason. As a result of this carefully thought-through design, no manufactured energy is required to heat the building.
FLOORMATE™ 300-AP proved to be the real star of the show when it came to insulating Underhill House. Because it resists moisture and has a high compressive strength, FLOORMATE™ 300-AP is ideal for below-slab insulation. A growing practice in residential buildings and one which could support more energy efficient buildings in future.
Using the insulation in this way helps to avoid thermal bridges at floor and wall junctions. This means concrete can be left exposed internally. This makes the most of its thermal mass properties. Exposed concrete absorbs heat in warm weather, effective cooling the buildings; and releases stored heat during cooler weather to provide a natural heating regime.

Black and orange are the strong points of the show. Sometimes a total look, sometimes mix with lace, small animal "kawaii" is always present and likely the symbol of the collection.
The creator loves mix materials and therefore alternates soft flowing materials and rock leather, including the way biker boots.

Blacked Out
The first day of summer was just last week, but this continuous 100 degree weather has made it feel like we've been in it for months. Although these temperature rises have been borderline unbearable, leave it to me to still wear an all black outfit. Apparently sweating in the name of style is my game, but you can seriously never go wrong with a simple LBD. Luckily this black on black ensemble was made up of a strappy tank dress and a barely there sheer shirt, otherwise I'd literally be feeling the heat.

- 1 Samuel 30:24-25 (NIV) "The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike." 25 David made this a statute and ordinance for Israel from that day to this.
Pastor Hobbs is not a recreational bow hunter. He hunts for the recreational value it brings, but he is very serious about the process. Thus, in his day, it wouldn't be unusual to find him deep in the woods on a multi-day excursion seeking out that "trophy" deer.
As a result he learned a very valuable lesson: Set up your tent before going hunting.
Your "tent" is your base; it is the reference point that provides protection and provision. To spend a full day out in the woods and then—hopefully—get to carry back to the camp a heavy trophy deer only to discover that you have to set up camp before you can eat and rest is a real drainer. Matter of fact, in certain conditions it can be downright dangerous.
I like to think in terms of "tent poles" that I must set up before I go charging the hill…
The first tent-pole is my own personal spiritual condition. The Bible teaches us to "keep our hearts with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." (Proverbs 4:23) When I allow my own personal walk with God to get wobbly it compromises everything else in my life.
Bottom line, we must never get so busy with important things to do that we stop taking time daily to be with the most busy and important Person in the universe—God.
Another tent-pole is our health. We do life in our bodies—there are no other options. You can ignore taking care of the base camp for a while, but eventually it will come back to bite you. The good news is that it is never too late to start taking care of your body.
Another tent-pole that I had to learn was vitally important was my marriage and family. We ignore investing in the key relationships in our lives at our own peril. Marriages and other key relationships will not run at optimal levels on their own–they require an investment, an investment from you.
It's a sad, sad thing to see someone go running off to win the trophies of life and then when they finally win them they tragically discover that their base camp has been so neglected that there is no one home to celebrate the victory.
I'll give you one more tent-pole for setting up your tent and that is your job—you know, that activity that does things like—buy food.
For me, my job is Fort Mill Church of God. I'm in my 19th year now at the same job and over the years I've discovered that when I allow outside demands—good things like missions travel, denomination responsibilities and speaking engagement—to get out of balance that my base camp suffers. I have to monitor this carefully to make sure that the "trophies" of the ministry do not take me away from my ministry—serving as pastor to the good people of the FMCOG.
Thankfully, I love my job, but for so many the game plan is to denigrate their job, despise their job, and long for the day when they can depart their job. However, if they would put as much time into doing their job as they do complaining about it they'd discover that like most good hunters—they will soon be having to turn down lesser trophies because their job has become a trophy.
Bottom line, taking care of the "home base" is vitally important. Before rushing off into the bush country to bag that trophy—make sure you set your tent up first.

Thumbnail Maker: Stand Out From the Rest With a Great Thumbnail
After all your hard work, you have finally done it, and now is the perfect time to show to the world your amazing video and beat those cat clips together and put them into shame. Now, you might be wondering how in the world can you encapsulate all that greatness and awesomeness in just a single thumbnail design. Of course you want a thumbnail that captures the full length of your video in a single image, boosting its clickability in a single fell swoop. With a thumbnail maker, you can enrich your chosen snapshot with design and text elements, creating a clean cut thumbnail design for synchronization of channels and playlists. Using thumbnail maker tools and user-friendly navigation interface, it is easy and simple to customize your social media thumbnail so it is tuned for instant virality.
It is easy for a video to get viral on social media using enticing and captivating video thumbnail like most successful YouTube thumbnails possess, displaying people's emotions through close-up faces. You'll see a lot of them such as a video thumbnail of a child laughing or an elderly woman who looked shocked. The fact is they are not just taken because of luck or destiny, they were taken because they are part of a greater design. This can be advantageous to you as well, using this effective tactic through an image of a face or a well-placed selfie relating to your video. Even though we are in the digital age, humans still need to connect, and when it comes to online video thumbnails, eye contact depicts the real essence of human connection. If you'll notice, stronger emotions are more appealing to the sense of empathy among viewers. Depending on your video content, it is best to create you own video thumbnail depicting the emotion of your video content whether it is surprise, shock, fear, anger, sadness, happiness, joy, or excitement.
In order to draw people in, it is essential to have an effective and catchy contextual title or words as long as it does not distract the form of your video's content, aligning it with industry standards and keeping the text brief and straight to the point. Just keep the lines short and sweet, arousing curiosity. You can also evoke some type of emotion such as using humor, and using logo for your videos to be identifiable. Playing with colors and brightness is also a good idea, as well as tweaking sharpness, filters, and vignettes to make yourself stick out. In order to attract more eyes to your video content, it is essential to also pay attention to lines and contrast with the use of colorful cut-out or bold outline. For related articles about making your video or post stand out, you can visit our website.

Intern Isaiah Casiano is currently a senior at UAlbany, majoring in psychology. When he first heard about MASH, the company was still in the beginning stages and was simply an idea that Tiran was working toward and developing. "I joined the team because I saw it as a great opportunity to gain experience in the field I'm interested in," he said, "while still being able to be involved in extra-curricular activities and do well in my classes."
Isaiah ended up joining MASH in the beginning of his senior year during Fall 2017. He explains that MASH has given him valuable experience towards realizing his future career, while also becoming more open to speaking to strangers from time to time. "One thing I learned with MASH is how important communication is and how undervalued of a skill it is. I also learned its a skill I still need a lot of improvement on," he says.
Post-graduation, Isaiah wants to pursue a career in human resources and, with the experience he has gained from MASH, he believes that he is better equipped to chase after his goal. "I think other people should consider interning with MASH because it has a valuable platform that could help someone grow and realize what they want out of their future careers."
Interested in interning with MASH next semester? Fill out your information below and will contact you!

Stone Hollow Farmstead
Farmer Hab
So the story goes:
Several years ago, Deborah Stone met up with a farmer from Mentone, Alabama at the Saturday morning Pepper Place Market in downtown Birmingham. Farmer Hab, as he is called, was selling beautiful "garlic scapes," and Deborah had never heard of them before. She quickly set about getting to know him better and bought every scape he had brought to market. She could not wait to pickle them upon returning to the farm. It became evident that garlic scapes were just one of the many old world veggies Hab would produce from the rich soil in the hills of North Alabama.
Situated high up on Lookout Mountain, Hab is able to take full advantage of
the cool evening temperatures and warm breezy days that are the perfect
recipe for turning out remarkable heirloom tomatoes. The partnership that
has developed between Farmer Hab and Stone Hollow Farmstead does not
end at the vine; when the weather cooperates just so, Hab can produce
enough ruby red fruits to turn into Stone Hollow's signature Bloody Mary
mixes, vegetable soup and more. When the occasion occurs that there are
excess tomatoes, especially towards the end of season when Hab has more
tomatoes than he knows what to do with, the Cannery staff at SHF turns his
excess tomatoes into well preserved "canned tomatoes". This helps Hab
carry his crop well past the tomato season providing continued revenue to his
farm, Habersham Farms, during the off season. He sells these beautiful jars
of tasty fruits to restaurants from Atlanta to Austin, and all points in
In the coming weeks, Hab and Habersham Farm will offer even more of his
farm's bounty to CSA customers – if the rain and sun do their part,
shareholders will find four varieties of asparagus, English garden peas,
Jerusalem artichokes, tender carrots, green onions, shallots and more. He
still has plenty of his famous Floriani red corn polenta to offer, as well.
These heirloom kernels, which are red on the outside and yellow on the
inside, are known for their earthy, nutty flavor that produce an exceptionally
noteworthy Italian polenta.
When asked what he enjoyed most about the relationship he's developed
with Stone Hollow and Deborah he stated "she not only appreciates the
farming side of my work but the business side as well. She understands
that the stuff I grow is expensive, but she gets a fair price because she buys
from me consistently and in large quantities."
Asked how he came to raise crops in Mentone, Hab described himself as a
former lawyer with a keen sense of what will grow and what won't. His
family hails from Atlanta, but he was raised in Baton Rouge. Summers at
Camp Alpine in Mentone solidified his love for the locale, so he bought land
there some time ago, determining it perfect for raising the types of open-
pollinated crops he prefers to grow. "Almost everything I grow is unique or
unusual and almost everything has a southern Appalachian connection. Up
here, I know two things: it is going to rain, and it is going to get hot. And
when I decide to grow something, I grow a lot of it."
We can't wait to see what else Farmer Hab grows for The Stone Hollow Farmstead CSA.

A Springfield woman has been accused of striking a 6-year-old child in the head with a belt and a children's services employee has been disciplined in connection with the case.
Semonicka Miller, 29, has been charged with assault and endangering children. She pleaded not guilty in Clark County Municipal Court on Tuesday.
A Clark County Children's Services employee, Johnnie Miller, allegedly was present during the incident but didn't report it. Johnnie Miller couldn't be reached for comment on Tuesday.
READ MORE: Springfield man accused of whipping pregnant woman with belt
Johnnie Miller, 32, was disciplined at work but faces no criminal charges, according to a report from Springfield police.
The alleged incident occurred on Dec. 15. The victim and other children were left unattended in a room of a home in the 2000 block of Clifton Avenue, according to the report.
The children were putting toys in either a fire or stove, which caused the fire alarms to go off, the police report says. While the child's father was putting out the fire, Semonicka Miller came into the room and allegedly hit the child on the head with a belt, narrowly missing the child's eye, the police report says.
The child's alleged injuries were visible for at least a week after the incident, according to the report.
MORE COVERAGE: Springfield man accused of leaving dog to die
Johnnie Miller called police on Jan. 4 and said that she was present when the incident happened but didn't actually see it, the report says. According to the report, Johnnie Miller told police that Semonicka Miller was disciplining the children and said that the discipline was "cultural."
"I advised Ms. J. Miller that striking a child with a belt across the head causing visible injuries that can be seen over a week after it occurred is never an acceptable form of discipline," Detective Sandra Fent wrote in the police report.
After the incident, Johnnie Miller allegedly used makeup to cover up the injury before the child went to school, the police report says.
DETAILS: Springfield man arrested after brief standoff with police
The case was transferred to Champaign County Children's Services because of Johnnie Miller's employment with Clark County Children's Services, according to the police report.
A call from the Springfield News-Sun to Pam Meermans, deputy director of Clark County's Family and Children's Services Division, wasn't returned by Tuesday afternoon. The News-Sun also has requested to review Johnnie Miller's personnel file.

Natur Blick // Group Exhibition - The Koppel Project
The Koppel Project is pleased to present Natur Blick, a group exhibition curated by Augustine Carr and Paula Zambrano. Bringing together ten contemporary artists and accompanying texts written by Chantal Faust and Daniel C. Blight.
"I think I scan, I think I scan, I think I scan. And I touch, in order to see. Scanning is a visual movement, a sweeping glance, a skim, an analysis, and a conversion. To scan is to look quickly, and also to look carefully. In the digital realm, scanning demands proximity, it is intimate in this way. The seeing eye of the machine is a reader of surfaces, recording traces of a perceptual and tactile encounter. In the land of the flatbed, touch, vision, and memory become inseparable.

A maximum of three propellers, as much balsa wood and rubber bands as needed, and a weight of fifty grams to carry—that's all it takes to create a frenzy of learning in the eighth grade. The flying cable car project has become a time-honored, yearly tradition at GCDS, as students apply what they've learned about Newtonian physics. By the month of February when the finals occur in the Dining Hall, the entire school has rooted for their favorite flyers. The fastest times have dropped, and now students try to get their flyers across the 84 feet of cable in less than four seconds.
I love this project for so many reasons, and perhaps the clearest reason is that it is a perfect example of students having to internalize the powerhouse skills we have been talking so much about recently. There is no one "right" design. Working in teams (teamwork) under a strict schedule (time management), the students have to design their own cable car (creativity) and constantly test, change, and retest their models (resilience) as they try to increase their speed and efficiency. Everyone who watches these cars whiz across our dining room and the students themselves consistently ask what design might work best (curiosity). And finally, the friendly competition engages the students in some moral questions (ethics) like, "Would it be cheating if I…?"
When you click on the cable car video (60 seconds), look at the smiles on the faces of the students involved, and ask yourself, "Could true learning look any better than this?"

Blog: noun (s). A child that feeds on all your time, energy, and resources, but will never love you back (or pay into your retirement fund).
I accepted Joel's offhanded invitation to take over the blog in the academic counselling waiting room two years ago on a whim. I thought to myself, "I'm in FIMS; I took Compsci 1000; how hard can it be?" Besides, the website was hosted by WordPress. Who didn't have an embarrassing wordpress Blog in high school with an edgy title and a default theme?
Boy, was I in for a surprise.
I remember the first blog meeting I had with Adam Helmers, former Managing editor and computer whiz extraordinaire; we met in the side office in the Weldon Library's SASAH room, and he showed me the Dinosaur that was the SASAH Blog. It looked disused, outdated, clunky, uninviting, and very difficult to navigate. Its skeletal structure had been patched together in years past like some haphazardly assembled Frankensteinian creation. It had a cut-and-paste basic theme (Boston), and most importantly, it was static rather than dynamic (which means it had certain information pages, but it didn't really have sections for ongoing, fresh content). There was no indication of any uniform concept to the blog, let alone a mission statement or statement of purpose for the blog or the program. There was no student submissions portal, and the site did little to explain what SASAH was to the growing groups of outsiders and prospective students who continually ask what SASAH is. We had no sense of what the Blog's purpose/mission statement should be, but that day, Adam and I decided that we would roll up our sleeves, excavate this relic, and, applying our complimentary knowledge bases–his in coding, mine in design and marketing–smooth out the kinks until it was an integrated staple in SASAH students' interdisciplinary and cooperative learning modules.
I remember I said to Adam that we needed to create a mission statement:
The SASAH Blog is a multi-pronged, digital platform designed for SASAH students to continue thought-provoking class discussions, to apply their SASAH learning to the world around them, and to respond, react and interact with the creative and academic creations from the greater SASAH community: on campus, in the community, and abroad. It is for SASAH students, and by SASAH students, and was built to uphold student-initiated innovation, development, and adaptation over time.
The SASAH Blog fulfills three key functions:
- It tightens the bond between past, current, and future SASAH students by showcasing all SASAH students' academic, professional, community, and international accomplishments in one place
- It gives SASAH students a platform for their critical reflections, creative expressions, and social commentaries
- It promotes the SASAH program to prospective SASAH students
Once we crafted this cornerstone statement, I went through the site with a critical eye, and pointed out navigational and internal organisational structures that would help current students feel at home on the site. That started with updating the Student and faculty bios, creating a page for Alumni, and, most significantly, creating a page where students could showcase, view, and respond to their reflective, independent, and creative projects. Publishing student assignments online was very important to us was because of SASAH's mentorship and community structure; just as each first year student is paired with an experienced and supportive fourth year, the ability to explore projects and achievements of past SASAH students may also serve as a form of guidance and mentorship and thus inspire new SASAH-ites to create of their own SASAH experiences, go on exchange, apply for the Rhodes, attend a Speaker's series, or even just dive into their readings. Ideally, the blog would become a space where students flock to to continue connections, discussions and debates with their peers outside the classroom. We also thought that if students published their assignments online, it might encourage more parental and familial readership of the blog and strengthen SASAH's ties with Western parents.
We have changed the website many times since that first meeting as new ideas and new student needs come to the forefront: students needed guidelines for their submissions; SASAH students needed a widget plugin to keep track of Faculty events; I even redefined the basic navigational structure of the site many times, each time with the hopes of making the site clearer, more useful and more user friendly–I continued my study of website design and usability in MIT's web design course, in Compsci 2033, and I even took a UX and UI workshops that Summer from Bitmaker. These courses helped me understand how to make the use of a site feel like second nature, where to put key information, and even basic font and colour theory. Later that semester, I used what I learned to design the SASAH Blog logo, which includes selecting the fonts and colours that best communicate our mission statement and accurately reflect SASAH's distinction and history of academic excellence, complimented by its interdisciplinary readiness to reinvigorate teaching styles, classrooms, and even grading modules to stay cutting edge.
Once the website basics were done (even though there are always small, moving pieces such as uploading the profiles for each incoming and graduating class), the site was up and fully functional, and already receiving submissions by the dozens from students and from excited professors. As the posts came streaming in, the two of us realised we needed to grow our team. We wanted to offer something that students from every year would benefit from: money. Just kidding, course credit. Kidding again. We designed positions that would allow for upward mobility for second, third and fourth years; first years could be encouraged to attend more faculty events under the position title of "SASAH Journalist"; artistic and technologically-inclined students could practice their graphic design skills by creating original logos for events, posts, and learning the basic rules of copyrights and royalties on the web; students thinking about working in editing or publishing can boast practical experience working in an online publishing platform, with the opportunity to train in these skillsets from myself and Adam. We created job descriptions for each of these positions and created work study positions on the working at western portal. At one point, we had 4 members of our team and a dynamic google drive documenting our assignments roster week by week. We now have a partnership with Western's official social media team, who boosts our content to the greater Western and Alumni community. With this rapid growth of our humble publications, we still need help.
By this term, YOU could join our team of online publications staff, united in our common goal to reflect on, immortalise, and celebrate the interdisciplinary learning of our intelligent, talented, and hardworking SASAH students.

COLONIAL HEIGHTS - Sweet relief.
Oh, sweet, sweet relief.

COLONIAL HEIGHTS - Sweet relief.
Oh, sweet, sweet relief.
C.J. Bradley cashed in a rebound with 4:12 remaining in the fourth overtime Tuesday night, lifting top-seeded Thomas Dale to a 1-0 win over Colonial Heights in the first of two Central District semifinals.
The undefeated Knights (15-0-0) will face second-seeded Matoaca for the district tournament championship Thursday at Hopewell High School. The Warriors (13-2-0) defeated Hopewell 5-0 to advance.
Despite being ranked No. 3 in the latest ESPN RISE Fab 50 national poll, Thomas Dale was forced to fight - and struggle - for any offense before Bradley's game-winning goal.
"It was a sense of relief - that's exactly what it was," Bradley said. "It's great to go ahead and get out of here with a win. Colonial Heights really played us tough."
It was nothing new for the fourth-seeded Colonials, who remain the only team to have scored on Thomas Dale during the 2009 season. In three meetings, Thomas Dale has outscored Colonial Heights 10-2.
Colonial Heights goalkeeper Cody Pryor continued his streak of solid play against the Knights by recording nine saves.
Pryor kept the Colonials (7-7-1) alive by stopping Central District player of the year Will Bates, a Virginia signee, on a breakaway opportunity early in the second OT.
Thomas Dale fired off 16 shots and recorded six corner kicks - six more than the Colonials.
"We didn't care who we were facing. We just want to get the job done," Bradley said. "We want to win the district and start getting ready for [the VSHL Group AAA Central Region tournament]. We're not tired. We're feeling pretty good."
Colonial Heights recorded four shots, including a potential game-winning blast by Tasos Dones that sailed just above the net with 5:54 remaining in regulation.
"We left it all out on the field tonight," Colonials coach J.P. McNulty said. "I can't be disappointed."
Thomas Dale goalkeeper Bill Groben, a first-team All-Central District selection, made three saves.
The Knights swept the regular-season series against Matoaca, defeating the Warriors 5-0 on March 30 in Chester and 2-0 on April 28 in Chesterfield.
MATOACA 5, HOPEWELL 0 - Ryan Clapman scored a pair of second-half goals as Matoaca downed No. 3 seed Hopewell 5-0 in the second of two Central District semifinals Tuesday night.
Dillon Prendergast scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal in injury time during the first half.
The Warriors led 1-0 at halftime.
Will Topping and Mason Page added goals for Matoaca.
Hopewell concludes its season with a 7-7-1 overall record.

Of late, there have been a lot of changes in the release dates of Tamil films, leading to a chaotic atmosphere where the release of films gets postponed, or hits the screens in a rush without a proper announcement in advance. This has led to smaller films losing out on their box office collection, because they have to fight for screens with big-budget films. To resolve this confusion, the Tamil Film Producers' Council is currently requesting producers of upcoming films to register the prospective release date of their films.
Talking about this move, producer SR Prabhu, who is the treasurer of the council, says, "We have initiated talks, asking them to register the release date of their films in advance. This will help everyone because once we come to know the release date of the big-budget films, the other films can plan their release accordingly. Nowadays, since movie-watching has become a costly affair, people have become very choosy on what films they want to watch in the theatre. If the release schedule is planned and big-budget films are released at right intervals, all the producers will benefit from it. Bollywood has been doing it for some time and we can also make it possible here."

I need a car for my three children. Should I buy another Octavia on hire purchase?
Aidan Timmons and Motoring Editor Eddie Cunningham team up to help readers make the right choice with their next car. Aidan visits dealers all over the country to produce a monthly guidebook on the values of used cars. He is co-editor of Motor Trade Publishers, who supply a car-valuing service to the motor trade, insurance companies and finance houses. Eddie is author of former best-seller 'Clever Car Buying'
I am lost. I drive about 30,000km a year, much of it on motorways. I have a 2006 Skoda Octavia diesel (bought secondhand) that's done 320,000km. I love it. But it is becoming expensive to keep roadworthy - the motor tax does not help. I am due a bonus in late February and have decided it's time for an upgrade. I am utterly clueless. I am agnostic on brand, colour, style, etc. I need it to be big enough for my three children. I hear scare stories about no market for diesels in five years' time. I hear electric cars are not capable of the distances I do. I hear the choice on hybrids is limited. I am tempted to stick with what I know and buy another Octavia on hire purchase.
Aidan: EVs won't work for your circumstances. As far as I am concerned, There should still be a healthy market for keenly priced, used diesel cars for the foreseeable future. Many of the questions we get are from people who travel distances beyond EVs' capability and petrol's efficiency, and it will take more than a few years for a healthy supply of high-range EVs to hit the used car market. You need a diesel car for your motorway jaunts. If the Octavia fits your family life, then go for another one. If it's becoming too cramped for your children, then upgrade to a Superb. Keep it simple.
Eddie: Skoda you have, Skoda you should get again. I'd lean towards a Superb diesel. Loads of room, plenty of power and good value.
