A few months back, realizing I had committed too many funds remaining in my flexible spending plan and risking losing them at year-end, I agreed to one more test paid 100% by me – having my heavy metal load assessed. The test involved having Calcium EDTA administered by IV, then monitoring my urine over a 6 hour period. A sample was mailed off to a lab for analysis. I was aghast to receive the results – three times what is regarded as a safe level of lead in my body! Maybe it comes from my childhood when, for a period of 11 years, we lived in a very old house with lead soldered copper plumbing. My cadmium was slightly elevated, and mercury not graphed though I have plenty of amalgam fillings. I don't have any symptoms of lead poisoning – weakened bones, exhaustion or cognitive problems as yet, but this could predispose me to such problems as I age.
Soon after, I scheduled for the initial minerals loading, prior to a 15 session course of IV chelation therapy, but was unable to tolerate the infusion. I was referred to the website of Dr. Garry Gordon who pioneered chelation therapy in the U.S. and was able to borrow his book on oral chelation therapy from our library. I am currently reading up on this slower method of getting the lead out, along with many other natural chelators I can add to my diet – Vitamin C, garlic, malic acid (from green apples), beets to name a few.
My health provider also recommended I use an ionizing footbath to start reducing the load myself. I was able to borrow this gizmo from a chiropractor and it seems to be working very well. Every three days I spend 3o minutes with my feet in a tub of warm water with a pinch of salt added. Also immersed in the water is a coiled component called an array that is attached to a low dc power supply, and I wear a dampened wristband also connected to the unit. The current causes the metals in the array along with the water and a pinch of salt to generate positively and negatively charged ions by separating the oxygen and hydrogen in the water. These draw toxins of various kinds out through the feet, which feel slightly tingly. You can tell the nature of the toxins by the color of the bath. For example, black flecks are heavy metals; orange is toxins from the joints. My husband who has been tested with a lesser lead load than mine tried the bath too. He had a much slower reaction and less intense color in the bath. I intend to do several courses of treatment, then have my heavy metal load retested. I've been warned that as one metal comes out, others may show up as my body works to dispel layers of toxic build up. I may still take oral chelation, but for now I am fascinated to experiment with the foot bath – maybe it's all I'll need!

Chapter 23
Two sisters, Samaria and Jerusalem, committed whoredoms by worshipping idols—Both are destroyed for their lewdness.
1 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, there were two women, the
3 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
4 And the names of them were
5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the
6 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
8 Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
10 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
11 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
12 She doted upon the
13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
14 And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was
18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
22 ¶Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee,
23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
24 And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall
25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall
26 They shall also
27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou
29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a
31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her
32 Thus saith the Lord God; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
33 Thou shalt be filled with
34 Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast
36 ¶The Lord said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
37 That they have committed
38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to
40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with

42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought
43 Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?
44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
45 ¶And the righteous men, they shall

The Juwelier situated in the old central area of Amsterdam. In Amsterdam's Centrum you will of course find the magnificent canals, but there is so much more besides. The inner city, for instance, is bursting with interesting museums, sometimes hidden behind beautiful canal-side façades. The area around the Dam and Niewmarkt and through the neighbourhood known as De Wallen, is the oldest part of the city. On Dam Square the Royal Palace and Madame Tussauds' Museum are located. In the Centrum the most commercial street, Kalverstraat, is located where you can do trendy clothing shopping.
The Centrum is easily accessible of foot and by public transportation. From Central Station it is only a 10 minute walk to the main square. Additionally, from Central Station, tram lines 1 and 2 can take you to Leidseplein (the party area), trams 5 and 24 can take you to the Museum Quarter, and trams 4 and 16 can take you to the Heineken Experience Museum and Albert Cuypern Market (the biggest Amsterdam's outdoor market).

Lovely flat in an excellent location. Friendly hosts. Would recommend.
The appartment was at the perfect place in the centrum couldnt be any better. It was really quiet. We could smoke in the appartment what was really really nice. Riek and her husband were really friendly and helful. The only thing was the stairs. they were really high. For young people there is no problem. Than you for the host and i would recommend this appartemnt to young people who want to be in the heart of amsterdam.
Riek is a host warm, friendly. The apartment was just perfect, the view of the canals in the city center, a real luxury. The studio is great, sleeps 5 provided a private bathroom. Would recommend.
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful one week stay in the very heart of Amsterdam. The studio is well equiped, very roomy. I'm pretty sure my next time in Asterdam will be in this same flat, I felt like home from the first day.
Reik, Lovely studio indeed! We enjoyed our stay with you immensely! The perfectl ocation with a perfect view of th canal and the bustling streets of Amsterdam. We loved the fact of the French Cafe across the street and the nearby coffee house. Thank you for your gracious hospitality. David and Jacqui
Very good location hosts are very nice friendly
We stayed in this very nice appartement with the beautiful view over the river with his boats and over the small busy street with this lots of bicycles and always the sun was shining in the big windows. We and our children loved the house. Riek and her husband were very friendly when we came with our 3 children (14, 6 years, baby of 4 months). This is a very good alternative to hotels for a family with more then 1 child, because in a hotel room is not allowed more then 3 people. In the appartement there are beds for 5 persons and you can cook in the kitchen (we recomment the bread from the "laatse kroemel"! in the house opposite). The only thing you have to know is that a baby carriage is to big for the amsterdam-typical very small staircases. If you need one, so it`s better to take a buggy with you. We left the babycarriage in the near parkhouse but is it a little bit expensive. Next time in Amsterdam we would stay in the same place!
apartament very nice, comfortable, central and practical. The very good care to repeat! Thank you very much.
Everything was perfect, the apartment's in a brilliant location, really central to everything in the city, the price was fair and I had good contact with the host.
Todo fue perfecto.
Está en una zona perfecta entre el barrio rojo y la calle principal. Es super luminoso y muy espacioso, no tuvimos problema de espacio (éramos 5).
Riek no nos pudo recibir pero en su lugar nos recibió una amiga suya y todo muy bien. Nos dejó 2 juegos de llaves por si acaso (nos vino muy bien).
Lo único es que las escaleras son antiguas, por lo que son muy estrechas y empinadas.
Si volvemos a Amsterdám nos quedaremos aquí de nuevo sin dudarlo.

These flat-sided crankbaits from one of Japan's premier hardbait manufacturers were designed by Toshinari Namiki, a very popular Japanese bass pro. The flat-sided design will track straight through the water at any retrieval speed and the super fast vibration will drive big bass crazy. The O.S.P. HPF Crankbait features an innovative weight transfer system that allows the lure to be cast long distances but when the lure is retrieved the ball bearing falls into a pocket in the front of the lure making it heavier in front to dive faster and stay at depth longer. The bill of the O.S.P. Crankbait is an extremely strong, super-thin wafer of high-tech material that will cut into the water faster and the broad shape will make this lure vibrate like crazy. If you're looking for premier Japanese baits, the you have to check out the O.S.P. line of baits.

Comments: Ive got two of these baits. Had them for an entire season so far. Out of the package, one of the bills was loose. A little superglue took care of it. On the other one, there was a layer of plastic that was sort of shedding off the bill. These are supposed to float but they have poor buoyancy. The hooks are nice and sharp and the hardware is quality. Ive only actually thrown one of them and it has the tendency to roll over at times, hopefully the other one is better. I cannot give an honest report on their fish catching ability because I don't think I have been "on fish" while using this bait. In hand, the bait is intriguing and seems like a winner, however I have never been in a situation where I thought it would clean-up. It is too light to fish in lip-less situations and does not have the attributes I look for in a shallow crank bait. I have heard KJ talk about his bait (similar bait from LC) in using it during spring due to its tightness. I look forward to trying it this spring on a light casting setup, pulling it slowly back to the boat.

About Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise
An anachronism in the world of late-'90s rock & roll, Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise consists of the group's namesake, a wizened Detroit street singer, plus three relatively fresh-faced alterna-kids as a backing band. Robert Bradley was born in Alabama, but gained musical experience and spirit by singing as a child at The Alabama School for the Blind, playing his acoustic guitar at coffeehouses, and piano in Baptist churches. He had spent several years in Detroit by 1994, performing occasionally on the street just to be heard, when guitarist Michael Nehra, bassist Andrew Nehra, and drummer Jeff Fowlkes (formerly in the Detroit band Second Self) overheard Bradley through an open window while rehearsing for a new project. After listening to Bradley sing for an hour, they invited him up to the studio to record several acoustic songs, then invited him to become their vocalist.
The Nehra brothers' production experience (with Detroit locals Majesty Crush) helped out the group while recording their debut album, 1996's Blackwater Surprise. The band's eccentric background and energetic live show -- almost gospel in feel -- gained them many fans on frequent club dates as well as arena shows opening up for the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Widespread Panic, and Maceo Parker. Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise also did well on alternative radio and VH1. Keyboard player Tim Diaz joined up as well prior to the band's sophomore effort, 2000's Time to Discover. In 2002, they released New Ground, followed in 2003 by the softer, piano-based record Still Lovin' You. The next year Bradley starred as fictional bluesman Otis McClanahan in the HBO film Lackawanna Blues, also contributing to the soundtrack, and in 2006 the live two-disc album What About That: New Year's Eve in Bloomington came out, which was recorded during a 2005 concert at the Indiana city's club the Bluebird, one of Bradley's favorite venues. ~ John Bush, Rovi

|Posted by Royal Flush on June 19, 2004 at 00:38:19:
Recently I installed one of the American Standard Champion toilets. I had fought for years with one of those old low volume toilets that took 2-3 flushes. What a dream the new Champion turned out to be! I had forgotten just what a simple pleasure flushing to the toilet could be! Sort of makes a guy to want to go just to be able to use it. Sometimes I have to just sit there and read and then flush it just for fun. It's tempting to use it as a sort of garbage disposal to rid oneself of unwanted kitchen scraps. The possibilities seem endless. The efficient and rapid mechanics of this sleek restroom racer makes makes one wonder if it isn't possibly a portal to a parallel universe or something. So far though nothing has come back as it seems to be a one way trip.
Anyway, I find that the toilet works beautifully, flushes the first time and except for the slightly unconventional clunk as the valve seals off the tank for another thrilling cascade of water ready for the next satisfying flush, I have had no problems with it whatsoever. A small price to pay indeed when compared to the disheartening affliction of flushing and waiting for the tank to fill so one could flush yet again. I would recommend one of these thrones to anyone. I bought one for my parents who suffered the same Hitchcockian agony of the multiple flush water "savers" and they seem even more pleased with it than I am, if such a thing is possible. I say all hail the wise engineers at American Standard! If only they could be awarded crowns suitable for the throne of their masterful and far sighted design!

Color totally wrong
"I ordered these in what was described as Taupe, but they are actually a pearly white, which is what the box said when it arrived. However, they are a nice shoe, and I like this brand. These weren't very comfortable, though, even if the color had been right.."

Comfortable and stylish pumps
"I'm very glad to have found these pumps - finally a low heeled, comfortable slingback styled with simple class. The wide fit is perfect on me, but my feet are not overly wide, so I would imagine the regular fit would be a bit on the tight side for some. I have these shoes in both colours!"

Regulation and Governance, 2009
Forthcoming in Regulation and Governance (2009). Although it is often argued that government oversight is needed to assure public opinion does not mistakenly view nanotechnology as dangerous or to restore public trust in government agencies, a question that we ask in this article, and one that implicates many of the themes raised in the other papers in this symposium, is whether governments can truly play this role. In short, as the world lurches toward regulation of NT we should ask: Why the rush? Can anticipatory regulation, perceived as the government doing something, fulfill the competing hopes to "restore trust," "pave-the-way," "increase awareness," or "satisfy democratic notions of accountability"? Or, is regulation more likely to increase existing divisions about nanotechnology's future?

Do you love concept design, character art, or just visualizing your ideas in 3D space? In this Lifehacker Nightschool Series we're going to take a look at how you can do all of that by learning the basics of 3D modeling. Advertisement Be sure to watch the video above for the full lesson. Text reference is included below.In this series, we will explore the basics to get you off the ground and help you on your way to being able to 3D model just about anything all the while understanding the why as well as the how of what makes these tools work. Here are the topics we're going to cover: Advertisement Software - What software to use, why, and how much it costs.Interface/Toolbars - Now that we have the software, let's look at the interface and start learning how to navigate through 3D space and understand how all the tool bars are set up.Viewports/Construction Planes - After understanding the camera, it is critical to understand how the viewports work, which views do what and what construction planes do and why they are important.Object Selection/Object Transposition - Once you have an object in your scene, one of the single most important abilities is selecting it. Without selecting your model, it is very hard to do anything to it. After it is selected, you might want to move it around, scale it, rotate it, etc. so we will talk about transposing your object.Bringing It All Together - After all is said and done, I will talk over a sped up video of me modeling a simple scene using the tools we've learned and some we haven't and show you how easy it is to use the tools all together to create whatever you want.SoftwareLet's get started by talking about the software. There are a ton of 3D modeling software packages out there to choose from. The price range fluctuates between free and tens of thousands of dollars. What you want is something that is high quality, nimble, can be used to learn on and yet be able to offer room to grow. It should also be highly customizable and have a great community of support.Rhinoceros 3D made by McNeel and Associates, this software is affordable, accessable, and fast. Windows users can download a trial and Mac users can download a demo. The trial is limited to 25 saves however, it is fully functioning and doesn't expire. So have fun with it and don't be afraid to just keep it open as it is really light software for your computer to run. Aside from being a really great way to start to learn 3D modeling, it is a great software to import all sorts of external file types. See the image to the right. Advertisement Sponsored You can get all sorts of free models off the internet. I recommend going over to Google Sketchup and downloading some models and see how easy it is. The SketchUp model extension (.SKP) is fourth from bottom on the above list. The models are opened pretty quick and are a great resource if you want to hack something together. I use them all the time for internal presentations to save time.Not only is the application small to install, the native 3DM files are as well. You can model your heart out without worrying too much about HDD consumption. Advertisement When I started learning how to 3D model, I began in AutoCAD and then worked over to Z-Brush. It was a long and arduous journey. When I picked up Rhino in 2003, I immediately saw how quick it was to learn and decided to stick with it. It is what I use for nearly all of my modeling needs still to this day. There are plenty of alternate software options out there. If you find that Rhino isn't a good fit for you, I recommend either Sketchup or Blender to start. They are both free to download and will get you on your way.I use Rhinoceros as it is the most flexible and accessible software to use while offering the most room for growth. SketchUp is a great second choice, but doesn't offer as nearly robust surfacing tools that you need to make the more dynamic models.That's all for today. Come back tomorrow for the next lesson! We'll be discussing how to use the interface. Advertisement This lesson was created by Gabriel Mathews of PolyPlane.

Rangers head coach John Tortorella was very happy with the Blueshirts' 3-0 win at Boston on Tuesday, particularly when it came to defense and goaltending. He was particularly awed by the performance of goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who registered a 42-save shutout. Tortorella said Lundqvist "wasn't going to let a puck in tonight" and mentioned that he "should have six hats on tonight" in reference to the team's postgame Broadway Hat that went to Lundqvist.

As the NCAA men's basketball tournament whittled itself down from 68 teams to the Final Four, the players weren't the only ones advancing from round to round. Officials were also judged on their performances.
And for the fourth time in his 20-year career officiating Division I college basketball, Highlands Ranch resident Randy McCall made it all the way to the Final Four.
McCall's officiating tenure began as a college student at the University of Northern Colorado when he started picking up area high school games. After graduation, he made the gradual transition to lower-tier collegiate ball and in 1992 began blowing his whistle at the Division I level.
And for those who watched the Michigan-Syracuse semifinal game April 6, it was McCall who made the controversial charging call against the Orange with just less than two minutes to play that helped the Wolverines cement their victory.
The former Cherry Creek High School athletic director said he watched the play multiple times after the game, and is more than confident he made the right call.
"Certainly, as referees, if we can make it through a game without a play like that where we have to make a boom-boom ruling, it makes it easier for everybody," he said. "Right, wrong, indifferent, at the end of the day I had a decision to make. It was a hard play and it had an influence on the outcome. That's just the way it is.
"I've had a lot of people say it was a great call, and I've had a lot say it was a 'hard call to make' which in referee terms means they would have called it different. … There are tough plays like that in every game but when it happens late in the game the perceived impact is a bit more magnified. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would like to crucify me for that one play, but there are a lot of people who say I got it right."
McCall isn't losing any sleep over it, that's for sure, and said that officials always have a good feeling of whether they got the game right, and in this case, he said they did.
"I haven't been in a game where any of us have been perfect yet," he said. "The reality of it is there's an accumulation of a lot of things that lead to one team winning."
What McCall is most concerned with is fairness, and he will be the first to admit that can be one of the biggest challenges in a game where three men are working together and none see exactly what the others are seeing and calling.
"You have a good idea, but never know for sure. It's a challenge," he said. "It's not like being a baseball umpire where you are going to sit back there and you know the guy is going to throw a ball or a strike. Our game is so fast, and so unpredictable."
McCall, who referees in the Mountain West, Pac-12, Western Athletic Conference and Missouri Valley Conference during the season, said it's a bit of an affirmation to advance through the rounds and be selected for the Final Four, but it isn't everything.
"Anyone who hangs their hat on whether they are moved on to the second weekend or the Final Four, if that's all they are going to judge their year by, I think they're nuts," he said. "There are so many really good referees out there."
Other Final Four games McCall has done include the 2004 National Championship game between Connecticut and Georgia Tech, the 2005 semifinal between Michigan State and North Carolina and the 2010 semifinal between Duke and West Virginia.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Clyde Ray Cox, 97, is the oldest living World War II veteran in Carbon and Emery counties; he served his country with distinction. He was born July 31, 1910 in Fairview, Utah to Lyman Ray and Anna Dora Christensen Cox and is the oldest of seven children. Before and after the war, Clyde worked as a farmer and also mined for the American Fuel Company. He is known for having a witty sense of humor and being an exceptionally hard worker.
Clyde was drafted into the army in June 1942 and served until late 1945, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant. Cox was a Ranger qualified member of an Intelligence and Reconnaissance platoon in the 321st Regimental Combat Team, 81st Infantry "Wildcat" Division. He was initially inducted into the service at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City after which he was sent to Camp Rucker, Ala. for training with his division. At Camp Rucker, Clyde was quickly promoted to non-commissioned officer status and was selected, along with other highly qualified soldiers, to attend the Division's Ranger school where he was taught advanced infantry skills such as infiltration, demolition, raiding, sniping, and hand-to-hand combat techniques.
From 1942 to 1944 Clyde trained in Alabama, Tennessee, California and Hawaii before being sent to fight the Japanese in the Pacific theater of operations.
Clyde first entered combat in the Palau islands located about 500 miles east of the Philippines. The 81st initially invaded Angaur Island in mid-September 1944 and successfully eliminated major Japanese resistance in less than one week. Clyde's regiment was next sent to assist the 1st Marine Division in bloody fighting on Peleliu Island, a few miles north of Angaur, in late September. There, Clyde's unit encountered stiff Japanese resistance and several of the men in his unit were killed or wounded. Clyde received the Purple Heart when he was wounded by shrapnel in his left arm, some of which remains to this day. He was fortunate to survive numerous close calls in combat: a bullet clipped his shirt seam, his rifle was shot from his hands and his helmet was pierced by a bullet, he survived an explosion from a Japanese satchel charge, was nearly shot by snipers, was struck in the shin by a bullet, and shrapnel from a mortar shell cut his boots. Fighting conditions on Peleliu were horrendous, with the daily temperature reaching 115 degrees. Because Peleliu is a coral island, it made digging foxholes and burying the dead extremely difficult. Following one assault, Clyde was decorated with the bronze star for dragging one of his mortally wounded platoon members out of the line of enemy fire. More than 60 years after the end of the war Clyde still recalls the names of men he served with, in particular those who lost their lives. He also still remembers how to lay a booby trap with a hand grenade, a technique he often used on Peleliu.
Following combat on Peleliu, Clyde and the Wildcats spent a few months on New Caledonia before being posted on the Philippine island of Leyte in early summer 1945� the same island where General Douglas MacArthur made his famous return to the Philippines. Clyde and his I & R platoon conducted patrols to mop-up Japanese resistance on Leyte, enlisting the help of a local Filipino father and son. Clyde's unit was on patrol when the war ended. Upon returning and learning the news, Clyde celebrated the declaration of peace by taking a well earned nap. Of the original 16 men in Clyde's platoon, 10 lived to see the end of the war.
Following a brief period in Japan, Clyde returned home, married and raised four children: Judy (John) Clement, Clayton (Jerri Lynn) Cox, Scot (Troy) Cox and Marquita (Phillip) Cox. They along with his 18 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren are very proud of his service to our country. We Love You Dad. Happy Veterans Day to you and to all veterans.

How does one discern God's call to ordained ministry? Sometimes it's through the mentoring of a pastor, sometimes through the support of an entire congregation. Here are some stories of mentors who are encouraging church members to follow God's call.
The Rev. Bob Tucker participates in the communion service at the ordination of the Rev. Kathy Flarity (right), whom he mentored.
The Rev. Bob Tucker, five years into retirement, still remembers asking particular 15-year-old confirmation student at First Congregational UCC in Houston, "Have you ever thought of going into the ministry?"
It was the first of many times Tucker posed the question to the boy, who grew up, attended college, and pursued a different career. "Every time he came home, I'd see him and say, ÔHave you ever thought about É ?' We'd laugh about it, then go on. I never pushed him on that, but I knew he was still searching," says Tucker. The gentle prodding, over the span of nearly two decades, has paid off: the young man is about to graduate from Princeton University, M. Div. in hand.
"He's going to be great," says Tucker proudly.
Tucker has an entire flock of clergy men and women to be proud of. During his 28-year tenure at First Congregational, he mentored an astounding 24 individuals who eventually were ordained, commissioned or received privilege of call.
Recognizing persons with the "gifts and graces" is something Tucker feels compelled to do. Born to parents who rarely attended church, Tucker credits his boyhood pastor from a congregational church in St. Paul, Minn., for encouraging him to become a minister. Tucker was the first of five young men in the parish to become ordained.
"Most parents wanted their children to be doctors and engineers. Ministry was not high on the income level," says Tucker. "I think his example set it into my mind that it could be done."
Tucker exudes contagious enthusiasm. He loves his job. "In the corporate world, you're limited to your professional group. In a young family, you're around mostly small children. In my job, I interacted with 80 year olds, men and women, gays and lesbians," he says. "I was with people during important times of their lives, like baptisms, weddings, funerals. I always found it an engaging and growing kind of life. Maybe that helped, if people saw me as someone who didn't have tired eyes."
Passing the torch of ministry likely won't end with Tucker, who says he wishes there were more resources at the conference and national settings to help ministers exchange ideas and thoughts about recruiting. But as always, he sees an opportunity.
"I think I'll write a letter," he says thoughtfully. "A general letter to all of [the clergy I recruited] saying, ÔThis happened to you. Start looking around and make it happen for others.'"
Participants in Trinity's Ministers in Training program attend a breakfast meeting in July 2002.
For some church members in the "Ministers in Training" program at Trinity UCC in Chicago, it all starts during the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's yearly sermon about God changing your life. The subsequent altar call urges men and women to come forward and finally heed the voice inside beckoning them towards a life in ministry. The Rev. Wanda Washington, associate pastor at Trinity, says Trinity's commitment to helping future clergy and theologians is so significant that the one altar call a year is really the only recruiting done at Trinity.
"The word is out," Washington says with a laugh. "We have people coming out of the walls."
One dangling carrot may be the extensive financial assistance provided by Trinity to its own members. Over the past two years, qualifying ministersin- training at Trinity were awarded more than $500,000 towards tuition fees. In exchange, the recipients attend monthly meetings with Wright, attend church regularly, and stay active in outreach ministries at the church.
At any given time, Trinity has 25- 50 students attending seminary, and an additional 12-25 students taking part in SCUPE (Seminary Consortium for Urban Pastoral Education), a program out of Chicago's North Park University, designed for exploring seminary-level courses for the purpose of deciding a direction of study. Most Saturdays, some 100 seminary and SCUPE students come to Trinity for classes, where much of the focus is placed on African and African-American theologians, a topic Washington says is mostly ignored at many mainline seminaries. Whenever possible, prominent African- American clergy and theologians are brought in to speak on topics of interest to seminary students.
Washington says that Trinity helps its seminarians with the biggest challenges facing African-American clergy today.
"The definitions are suddenly changing," she explains. "No longer can you say ÔThe Black Church' and just mean black Baptist people. African Americans are in every denomination you can think of, and there's not just one way to worship. The Black Church has many different faces now."
By providing a forum to ask questions and connect the teachings of the Bible with their own experiences and culture, Washington hopes Trinity's sons and daughters find new, meaningful ways of making God's word relevant in today's world. "Most young people don't want to hear what church people have to say," she says. "A big challenge of ministry is how do you reach the young people? How does the gospel compete with [rap star] Tupac?"
It would appear that Trinity has found a way. Washington theorizes that most ministers-in-training know from an early age that they were meant to be in ministry. "People see ministry in action here," she says of the 10,000-member congregation. "The more involved they get in our ministries and the outreach components and they begin to do the work as lay people, that calling is brought to the forefront."
ÔWhat took you so long?'
During the 1950s and 1960s, Union Congregational UCC in Montclair, N.J., was the place UCCrelated Union Theological Seminary students came to do their field education. The bustling congregation was alive with membership and activities. Things slowed down during the '70s and '80s, but the tradition of fostering seminarians has been resurrected with renewed energy.
Today, five men and women are in the process of becoming ministers, and a sixth, the Rev. Cathie Wallace, recently was ordained and is getting settled in her new parish, First Congregational UCC in Farmington, Maine.
"Our church works at having full programming and also at compensation, so it looks like a viable vocation for folks who are here," says the Rev. Stephanie Weiner, pastor of Union Congregational. "But like everything in ministry, it's a combined effort of the church and the clergy and the spirit," she continues. "You do everything you can. We keep theological education in front of folks, and opportunities for ministry, whether lay or ordained."
It was five years ago that Cathie Wallace woke up one morning and suddenly knew that she had to go to seminary. "Somebody at [Union Congregational] said, ÔWhat took you so long to realize this?'" she says with a laugh.
"During my in-care time, I had tremendous support from them," Wallace remembers. "They made sure I was taking care of myself and my family." Even now, living in Maine a year after her ordination, she still hears from her church family at Union. "A few of them came to visit me here," she says. "They're very much a part of who I am. They are an incredible church for recognizing people's gifts."
"One of my goals is to identify somebody every year and say, 'Have you ever thought of [the ministry]?'" says Weiner. Weiner herself remembers the financial and spiritual support given to her by her home church, Bethel UCC in Evansville, Ind.
"I came out debt free because of the support of my local congregation," she says. Her sense of responsibility defines her own ministry.
"People see the church as a place where they can be not only nurtured individually, but where you can make a difference in society," she says. "I think it's a blend of that ol' personal faith and social responsibility that Union has been pretty good at fostering."

St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 12:1-10
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 98.9,1
Exalt the Lord our God.
Verse: The Lord reigns; let the people tremble.
BRETHREN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him. For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives." It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father.

Agricultural improvements have yielded tremendous results, decreasing the number of undernourished people by 167 million in the last ten years alone. However, these improvements have often been made by increasing the amount of land under cultivation – a practice that cannot continue indefinitely. Agricultural expansion has also come at a price: soil erosion, deforestation and water pollution – compounded by higher and more volatile global temperatures – have already begun to reduce agricultural productivity. For this reason, Mercy Corps works to ensure agro-systems around the world are economically productive, nutritionally diverse and efficient – both today and in the future.
We help smallholder farmers – farmers with less than 1 hectare of land – and pastoralists develop their production capacity so they can increase productivity and weather environmental shocks and stresses. We also focus on improving agriculture-related products and services by working with traders, input suppliers, processors and government bodies. And our holistic approach extends further – to improving the nutrition of people who consume agricultural products. This might mean increasing a crop's nutritional value by improving how crops are harvested, stored and transported. We also work with families to help them diversify the crops they grow and educating communities about the benefits and conditions of good nutrition.

Signs surround us as city dwellers and as travellers on the roadways between our places: warning, directing, suggesting, recommending, inviting, demanding, forbidding, welcoming. There are many languages in the street, from the stern, official dictum of a stop sign to the casual, local slang of a restaurant specials board on the edge of the footpath.From the window of a car, all reading is speed reading. Road signs made for traffic control, road safety and navigation are sometimes stacked in such density that any serious reading of them would be a hazard for the driver, who must be highly selective, choosing to notice (not necessarily obey) only those of the messages which are relevant and needed right now.
Sign language is necessarily compressed, words needing to be as immediately recognisable as icons. Road signs become standard images: legible lettering styles are combined with coded colours and shapes into graphic objects which can be quickly grabbed and digested.
A stop sign is not just the word, with the colour (red) and the shape (hexagonal) combining to make a single impact—and save drivers from an impact! Placing the word GO onto such a sign makes an obvious but original reversal. The new sign becomes a seed for discussion about temptation and restraint, for example, about desires and the laws and social rules of society and the self. This is a constant tension, a stretching balance.
The many word works which I've long called the Roadsigned series began in 1979 with Airpoet, created from an existing airport direction sign in Adelaide. This established a ground for imaginaction: physically altering an existing sign to make something new happen. A large blue sign with an arrow upwards and the word 'Airport' was changed by the replacement of one letter to 'Airpoet', radically shifting the experience of the roadway and surrounding streetscape for travellers as well as locals on the ground. This was illegal, but popular.
These are poetic interventions in the public language of the street, interruptions to the expected, playing with the obvious to reach levels more metaphorical. By physically altering existing signage, and by inventing new signage using the standard design formats as a template, fresh meanings can be generated through surprise, making small shifts in the expected to create catalysts for thought.
There is a possibility within this signworld for creating poetry, which begins from a pleasure in slippage, an appreciation of the ambiguities and ironies which occur when a sign and its context are at odds, or when letters have fallen and given words interesting new meanings. This interest in the paradoxes of the everyday extends further to become direct intervention, affecting the literal efficiency of official messaging through alteration in the mind's eye, signing the city anew.

Waist deep in break-out candidates
Kent Wilson
July 27 2009 02:14PM
With the departures of Mike Cammalleri and Todd Bertuzzi, the Calgary Flames only have 3 sure bets in terms of top 6 forwards: Jarome Iginla, Daymond Langkow and Olli Jokinen. As such, there will be ample opportunities for the club's various "support players" to move up to the top of the rotation. With as many as 6 candidates looking to grab a scoring role, there's a good chance Flames fans will see a "break out" season or two this year.
Following are the most likely Flames to take a step forward in terms of role and point totals this year:
1.) Rene Bourque
Fast, tenacious and defensively responsible, Bourque rapidly endeared himself to the coaching staff and fans alike last year. Thanks to his abilities and a nice helping of good fortune, Bourque was the Flames best forward at even strength last year, despite facing some of the toughest competition on the club. He was the only regular skater to score more than 3 points/60 minutes of ice at 5on5 and led the club in plus/minus.
Some would argue Bourque has already "broken out" and is the most likely lock in the Flames top 6 outside Jarome et al, which is defensible. However, there's the potential for Bourque to regress this season owing to a number of factors, primary of which is his career best SH% from last season and team best PDO number of 102 (on-ice SH% and SV%, combined), both of which are bound to fall back towards the mean. That said, Bourque piled up all his points playing against tough competition and with almost no PP time to speak of. If he lands on a forward unit with, say, Iginla and garners some time with the man advantage, the improved circumstances may just make up for less amicable percentages.
2.) David Moss
Another guy who kinda, sorta already broke out was former 7th rounder David Moss. Teamed with Craig Conroy and Curtis Glencross, Moss beat up on other third liners last year, resulting in one of the best corsi rates in the entire league (+23.8/60). To put it in perspective, his peers in that regard last season were the likes of Pavel Datsyuk, Alexander Semin and Marian Hossa.
Like Bourque, Moss did most of his damage at ES, averaging just 1:50 on PP time per game. He was also limited to a paltry 10:46 of ES ice-time per contest, good for 15th (!) on the team. A bump in either ES or PP time (or both) could turn Moss into a 50 or 60 point forward, depending who he plays with.
3.) Curtis Glencross
One of the best steals of last summer, Glencross was just behind Moss as a team corsi leader (+19.2). He scored 2.33 ESP/60 (more efficient than Langkow, Jokinen, Bertuzzi and Moss himself) and his totals were only limited by his ice time and an injury that saw him miss 8 games in the middle of the season. Lightning fast with decent offensive instincts and a will to hit anything that moves, Glencross scored just 5 of his 40 points with the man advantage last year. With more ice and more PP time, he could well become a 20 goal, 50 point winger.
4.) Nigel Dawes
The newest Calgary Flame has a big fan in bench boss Brent Sutter. Asked about Dawes recently, whom he coached against in Junior and out East in the big league, Sutter had this to say about the diminutive sniper:
"He's a player that's really gifted, he can really score," said Sutter. "You look at the stats"--25 tallies in 133 NHL games -- "and they're not really where a goal scorer would be, but he's a very young player with tremendous potential. From the top of the circles and in, he's a finisher. "He knows the game, he plays hard, he's a competitor."
Ryan McGill also coached Dawes in Junior, where he put up 3 straight seasons of eye-popping goal totals. With so many supporters amongst the guys calling the shots, there's a good chance Dawes will be given an opportunity to esablish himself, even if he is somewhat less proven than guys like Bourque and Moss above.
5.) Dustin Boyd
The best home grown forward prospect to come out of the Flames system in some time, Boyd has yet to really make a dent at the NHL level. A point-per-game scorer in the AHL as a 20 year old rookie, Boyd has put up results at every level in hockey except the NHL, where he's been mostly relegated to a 4th line role while he finds his footing. With so many guys in line ahead of him, Boyd will either need to take a sizable step forward this season in order to grab a top 6 spot, or have to be gifted an opportunity by chance (say, for instance, a long-term injury to one of the incumbants).
6.) Mikael Backlund
The longest of the long-shots, Backlund is tabbed to start the season in Abbotsford thanks to the parent club's lack of cap space and 14 NHL caliber forwards. Like Boyd, a lot of things would have to go right (or wrong, as it were) for Backlund to get a legit shot at the top 6, including injuries, incumbants truggling and a sizable improvement by the kid himself. Although a capable scorer at the Junior level, Backlund visibly struggled against NHL competition during the pre-season and his lone regular season appearance last year, especially in the defensive zone where he was completely overwhelmed. Even if his offensive abilities are NHL calbier, Backlund will have to get up to speed in his own end of the rink before he can take a regular shift with the big boys.
Oh I dunno. I realllllly think Bourque's a shoe-in for a top-six role.
It will be interesting to see how much Brent Sutter will trust Boyd defensively because he (along with Dawes for the reasons that you mentioned) would appear to be the best candidate for a big jump in points this coming season.
bourque may be more injured than we think, judging by the fact he was reliant on crutches as recently as last week.
if he doesn't start the season, there would certainly be room for one of the other guys above to step up. my big money would be on dawes, simply because of the franchise's non-existant history of promoting their own.
The clearest path would be next year, to replace Jokinen when he leaves. A year in Abbotsford learning the system (especially a center's defensive responsibilities) can only help him.
What I meant was, "The clearest path for Backlund . . ."
I must agree with TLP.. i don't see Bourque spending much time out of the top 6.
The rest of this blog is gold.
I think Dawes could make the biggest jump in point production. He is a winger and might get to spend alot of time with the big boys due to the fact that both McGill & Sutter have closely witnessed his offensive talents in the past. I would predict that he is this years Bourque and a lot of hockey pundits will be labeling him as the best steal as they did with Bourque last year.
