GRANT HUTCHINSON: Meditation
Gestalt Pyschotherapist + Meditation & Yoga Instructor
Grant began teaching yoga and meditation in 2005 following his yoga and meditation studies and training in India and South East Asia. The underlying motivation of his teaching is present moment embodied experience whether on the yoga mat or meditation cushion, in the office, in traffic or with loved ones.
The indivisibility of spiritual practice and daily life has been fundamental to Grant's orientation. His teaching delves into the richness and relevance of these practices in our lives, right now. Grant approaches these teachings as self-study; a means of grappling with what is underneath the form or appearance to co-create ways for each of our own specific bodies and minds to explore practice in an accessible and sustainable way.
Grant has studied meditation in Hatha Yoga, Theravadin and Soto Zen Buddhist traditions. He lived for close to two years at Tassajara, the San Francisco Zen Centre's Monastic training centre in the mountains of Northern California and has sat differing length retreats at other centres in India, Sri Lanka, the US and Canada. He studied for many years with Michael Stone.
As another means of exploring the interface between practice and life, Grant began his private psychotherapy practice in 2018 and expects to complete his five year Gestalt training at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto in the Spring of 2019.

The further removed I am from the events of last year, the more I see what happened as a gift. I wouldn't call nearly dying, or nearly losing my infant, a gift. But the fruit that came from it is one. Like Joseph in Genesis, life in a broken world meant our suffering for evil, but God meant it for good (Gen. 50:20). He wastes nothing. It always serves his purposes—even in the darkness.
One of those gifts is seeing the world through new eyes, particularly regarding platform building and the world of self-promotion (especially in Christian publishing).
I know we are supposed to be humble in this whole Christian writer world, but I'll be honest and lay my cards on the table here—before last year, I secretly obsessed over platform. My second book came out three weeks before I was admitted to the hospital and I spent nearly every day of those three weeks checking Amazon reviews, following up on sales numbers, and driving myself crazy about how the book was doing.
It would have killed me.
Instead God nearly did and saved me from myself
I know it's murky water to talk about God's sovereignty in such ways, and I don't think we can ever make a direct correlation between suffering and sin (unless it's blatant). And I would never presume to tell someone else the spiritual lessons meant to be learned in his or her suffering. But I do think that the further we are removed from certain seasons of suffering, the more we are given clarity into our own heart. Suffering is a furnace that exposes our hearts and melts away what keeps us from shining brightly for the Lord. But the moment of suffering is never the time to figure out what God is up to in our own hearts (which is why I'm writing about this over a year later, and not in the moment).
In her book, Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott talks about this struggle that writers face—this struggle to want to succeed and as a result obsess over our own successes and failures. She writes about the jealousy that arises when other writers do better, or the despair that comes when you don't get the review you are hoping for. I find encouragement in her words because I at least know I am not alone. But the quote that strikes me most from that book is on what frees us from jealousy:
My deepest belief is that to live as if we're dying can set us free. Dying people teach you to pay attention and forgive and not to sweat the small things.
Last summer gave me these new eyes. It freed me. Once I got it, I started seeing it everywhere. I started seeing the danger that comes with prosperity and platform. I started seeing the danger that comes with comfort and ease. I started seeing how easily my heart is moved by new followers or compliments. I started seeing how dangerous it is for me to feed on these things. And I started seeing it in scripture, too. Whenever prosperity arises in scripture, disaster is not far after—just think of David, Solomon, and all the kings who came after them. It's dangerous to live in comfort. It's dangerous to live in a world where everyone is singing your praises. It might feel good, but it rarely ends well
Finding freedom from this obsession requires us to live like we are dying. Sometimes we taste death in order to see it, sometimes we just imagine it, but to know that death is coming (and that even platform of fleeting) is freeing and humbling.
The pattern of scripture is lose yourself and you will find yourself (Matt. 10:39). Smallness equals greatness. Faithfulness is success. Sure, God does appoint some people for incredibly large platforms and revenue. But that's not the norm, and they usually didn't seek it out.
And yet, even with these new eyes, I still find myself struggling. I'll admit it. I don't like smallness. There is a lot of talk about saying we want that, saying numbers don't matter, and saying that it's really about just ministering. But even as I've grown to see it as unimportant, I'll admit in my flesh, I do want it. I want people to like me. I want people to praise me. And boy, do I want those retweets and likes. It's a battle that I'll be fighting until I die, I am sure.
I don't want to live under the guise of "I'm okay with smallness" all the while really longing for something better. I want to get to the place where I truly am content if no one ever reads another word I write or if the speaking requests dry up. Am I there yet? I don't think so, but I really want to be. Last year changed my perspective on the world, and began the process of caring less about popularity and more about people (and living). It's still a process. But I hope I'm moving in the right direction.
As I've struggled with this over the year, I have also started thinking that I'm probably not alone. We all face temptations, many are common to us all. Sometimes I feel like if I just say it out loud maybe I will find some others who struggle with the same things. So here is honesty. I don't want to be like this. I am, but I'm not okay with it. I'm growing in it, but I'm not there yet. The process has started, but I have a long way to go. Maybe you do, too.
I want there to be a sense of transparency without celebration, honesty with repentance. It's not funny that I struggle with sin. But it's also not helping anyone to pretend like I don't. It's a balance, one I'm not sure I have yet.
Death (or the prospect of death) is a great leveler for the self-sufficient person because death is the one thing we can't avoid. To nearly die and then go on living is a hard providence. It's sobering to know the fragility of life, but also comforting to finally have eyes to see what really matters. As one friend put it, "it's like seeing the world for the first time." It's scary, but it's freeing.
So here's to fighting my fleshly desire with the truth that I can't take any of it with me. Platform, popularity, and even book contracts will all fade away. Christ is all, everything else is extra. Sometimes it takes nearly dying to see what really matters.

A day with more strong, mostly westerly, winds which unfortunately resulted in very little movement offshore and difficult conditions on the land.
Nearly five hours of seawatching produced the first two Red-breasted Mergansers of the autumn, ten Arctic Skuas and 225 Sandwich Terns but very little else. An adult Yellow-legged Gull was feeding at the fishing boats. There was no sign of yesterday's Grey Phalarope.
A Grey Seal and six Porpoises were feeding offshore.
It was equally slow going around the RSPB Reserve but seven Cattle Egrets were still with the cattle in the fields alongside the entrance track.

:: Waveny House Wedding :: New Canaan, Connecticut
This past Friday I had the great pleasure to shadow the fabulous Georgia Nash with Timeless Weddings by Georgia at the Waveny House in New Canaan, Connecticut.
This venue could have been decorated with paper plates, plastic cutlery and centerpieces made out of construction paper and it still would have been beautiful. However, Georgia and her bride and groom went all out with the decor for the venue. The theme for the wedding was "Old Hollywood" with movies such as Casablanca and Gone with the Wind playing on the dance floor. The centerpieces were a mix of breathtaking high centerpieces and trees with flowers and candlelight hanging from the branches. Alena the bride brought the chiavari chairs into the Waveny House and her negotiation certainly paid off. Those chairs truly kept with the integrity of the venue and added a HUGE wow factor.
When speaking to Kevin, the New Canaan Police Officer hired to work the evening he said in all the years working this venue he has never seen it so well done. Kudos to you Georgia and Alena! After dinner the guests and wedding party danced the night away to the beats spun by
Parties Alive, Premiere Entertainment
. There was never a time when people were not on the dance floor, and needless to say I couldn't help a little shoulder shake or two while overseeing the event in a corner.
There were some awesome touches throughout the night such as the cocktail hour musician singing classic tunes by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and a Cigar Roller that was a HUGE hit, even the bride enjoyed one!

John Terry performed his customary routine at the final whistle here, striding into the Watford half and towards those upstanding in one corner of the Vicarage Road stand to applaud the chanting of his name and thump the badge on his chest. The centre-half believes he will be denied the "fairytale ending" of retiring as a Chelsea player and, unless both parties can find reconciliation, every game between now and the summer will feel like a farewell. On this evidence, the sense of anti-climax will end up shared by club and captain.
This was a 10th match in all competitions without defeat for the champions since José Mourinho was sacked in December but, confronted by a Watford side who simply would not wilt, it still ended up feeling wasteful.
The visitors were disjointed, playing in fits and starts and offering only flashes of the fluency which had dismantled MK Dons in the FA Cup on Sunday. Those Championship opponents were naively obliging. Watford, newly risen from the second tier, are anything but these days and Quique Sánchez Flores' more streetwise team discomforted their visitors throughout the first period. They are the side who now loiter in the top half of the table while Chelsea peer up at them from below.
Only in the latter stages did Guus Hiddink's team really threaten a third away win in succession, when Heurelho Gomes shrugged himself awake to block from Branislav Ivanovic and, brilliantly, claw away Diego Costa's header in the last few minutes. Hiddink had worked with the Brazilian at PSV Eindhoven and bemoaned the goalkeeper's heroics in opposition. He was less complimentary about Juan Carlos Paredes' theatrics in first-half stoppage time, Watford's Ecuadorian right-back rolling around clutching his face after brushing with the occasion's predictable pantomime villain, Costa, in front of the dugouts.
"We were very close, it was 10 yards from our bench, and Paredes punched Diego in his back and then they stumbled," said Hiddink. "Then Paredes brought his hand to his head, and Diego had been nowhere near his head. They stumbled. It was provocation to get someone off the pitch. Happily the referee and the assistant saw it and didn't fall for it because there was no way Diego was close to his face. This is a man's game."
Both players were booked, though Paredes can also expect a dressing down from his club captain back at the training ground in London Colney on Thursday. "He didn't help himself," said Troy Deeney. "It was 'soft', that's the best word to describe it. Where I grew up, and the way I grew up playing football, people would get kicked for rolling around like that. It was all a bit pathetic. But it's new-age football. There's a little touch and everyone's rolling around. It's just handbags. In Sunday League that wouldn't happen because you'd be laughed at. I don't like to see it, to be honest, and we'll have a word with Paredes on our side."
It was that kind of game, a spluttering stalemate crying out for a flash of inspiration from Eden Hazard or Odion Ighalo, Oscar or José Manuel Jurado. They all offered tasters of their quality but too much of it was lost amid the stodge of midfield.
The hosts could consider two draws with the reigning champions this term as reason for satisfaction, Flores describing most aspects of their performance as "amazing" in the aftermath while admitting taking Costa to one side at the end "to tell him I love him". He had coached the young Brazilian, since turned Spain international, when they were at Atlético Madrid. The majority in the crowd preferred to heckle Costa, riled by the aggression which he has made his trademark but thankful he had seen his first-half effort deflected wide by Craig Cathcart.
Watford were not afraid to muscle their way into opponents as well, with Deeney driving Chelsea's full-backs into their shells and Ighalo denied from close range by César Azpilicueta's block from José Holebas' fine centre. Thibaut Courtois thwarted Sebastian Prödl and Étienne Capoue, yet they were stretched in the latter stages and relieved by the final whistle.
"You have to compare us to how the team were when we came in," added Hiddink. "It had been a difficult half-year but, step by step, we're getting back to how we like to play."
That is proving a slow process, despite the unbeaten sequence, and the top six remain a distant 10 points away. For now, Watford continue to hold the higher ground.

Giant Croc Had Teeth Similar to a T-Rex
Researchers have described new fossils belonging to an extinct crocodile-like creature that had a set of serrated teeth like those of a T. rex.
The animal was a top predator in Madagascar 170 million years ago, around the time dinosaurs roamed Earth.
Its huge jaw and serrated teeth suggest that, like T. rex, it fed on hard animal tissue such as bone and tendon.
It appears to be the earliest and biggest representative of a group of croc-like animals called Notosuchians.
The animal's scientific name is Razanandrongobe sakalavae, which means "giant lizard ancestor from Sakalava region".
This specialised predator differed from present-day crocodilians in having a distinct skull shape and powerful straight legs.
In the open access journal, PeerJ, Cristiano Dal Sasso, Simone Maganuco and colleagues describe new bones from the skull of this massive crocodilian - which is nicknamed Razana.
"Based on the preserved skull bones, we infer a body shape similar to that of baurusuchids [another type of Notosuchian from South America], and consequently an overall length of 7m - 1.6 m at the hips - and a weight of 800-1000 kg," Dr Dal Sasso, from the Natural History Museum in Milan, Italy, told BBC News.
These dimensions are comparable to those of modern relatives of Razana: "As a matter of fact, an adult salt-water crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) can reach 7m in length and weigh up to one tonne," Dr Dal Sasso added.
Previously, researchers didn't have enough fossil material to classify the species with confidence. But the new fossils allowed the Italian team to assign Razana to a group called mesoeucrocodylians - answering remaining questions about its relationship with other crocs.
The study shows that Razana is by far the oldest representative of the Notosuchians, pre-dating other members of this group by 42 million years.

UN envoy De Mistura claims "incremental progress" but no sign of shift from opposition or Assad regime
- US Rebuffs Turkey: Envoy McGurk Stays
- US: Our Airstrikes Were on "Iranian-Directed" Forces
- Pro-Assad Shelling Burns Farmland in Northern Hama
Four days of indirect political talks in Geneva between Syria's opposition and the Assad regime have ended with no advance.
The talks ended on Friday after further discussions between UN envoy Staffan de Mistura (pictured) with each of the two sides.
De Mistura asserted that there had been "incremental progress", announcing plans to reconvene negotiations in June: "Any momentum provides some type of hope that we are not just waiting for the golden day but we are actually working for it."
However, the leader of the opposition delegation, Nasr al-Hariri, repeated that a political solution is not possible while Iranian forces and Iranian-led militias remain in Syria, or while President Assad remains in power.
The head of the regime team, UN ambassaor Bashar al-Ja'afari, said there had been no discussion of de Mistura's four areas: governance, elections, a new constitution, and the fight against terrorism.
He blamed the US for undermining his negotiating position with a press conference claiming the construction of a crematorium at Sednaya Prison near Damascus, where many thousands of detainees have been killed or died from poor conditions.
He said the American presentation of claimed images of the crematorium was "a big lie" and "a Hollywood show" and said the timing was "no coincidence".

US Rebuffs Turkey: Envoy McGurk Stays
The US has rebuffed a Turkish demand for the removal of Brett McGurk, the American envoy for the campaign against the Islamic State.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on Friday that McGurk "has the full support and backing" of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and that the envoy had done "excellent work" to organize the anti-ISIS coalition.
On Thursday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said that McGurk should be removed from his post as he "supports terrorist groups".
The demand followed circulation of a photo of McGurk next to Sahin Cilo, a commander of the Syrian Kurdish militia YPG and the adopted son of Abdollah Ocalan, the leader of the Turkish Kurdish insurgency PKK. McGurk had travelled with Syrian Kurdish commanders to northern Iraq and then back to Kobani, a Kurdish center in northern Syria.
"Brett McGurk, the U.S.'s special envoy in the fight against Daesh, is definitely and clearly giving support to the PKK and YPG. It would be beneficial if this person was changed," Çavuşoğlu said.
Nauert said the US respects Turkey's concerns and will continue regular consultations: "It is critical that we are closely linked with partners on the ground to coordinate both military and civilian efforts to sustain momentum and focus against ISIS."
McGurk said in an interview with a Turkish broadcaster on Friday that Ankara is a close ally in the anti-ISIS fight and that the US-led coalition cannot succeed without the Turks.
US: Our Airstrikes Were on "Iranian-Directed" Forces
US Defense Secretary James Mattis has told reporters that the first US airstrikes supporting rebels inside Syria were against "Iranian-directed" forces.
Thursday's US attacks hit a pro-Assad convoy moving near the Free Syrian Army base at Tanf in eastern Syria, close to the Iraqi border. The FSA has been supported by US special forces as it took more than 2,500 square km from the Islamic State.
Local sources and rebels said a tank and engineering trucks were destroyed, and Iranian troops, Hezbollah fighters, and Iraqi militiamen were among the casualties.
See Syria Daily: 1st US Support of Rebels With Airstrikes on Pro-Assad Forces
Mattis told reporters on Friday that the US strikes were defensive: "It was necessitated…by offensive movement with offensive capability of what we believe were Iranian-directed — I don't know there were Iranians on the ground — but by Iranian-directed forces."
The Defense Secretary said he thought the force tried to advance in eastern Syria against the advice of Moscow, "It looks like the Russians tried to dissuade them."
Pro-Assad units had been assembling near the Damascus-Baghdad highway, looking to move towards Deir ez-Zor Province where regime forces have been surrounded by the Islamic State since 2014.
Fars News, the outlet of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, had boasted before the US strikes that "Thousands of Hezbollah Forces Deployed in Al-Tanf to Foil US Plot in Syria".
Pro-Assad Shelling Burns Farmland in Northern Hama
Pro-Assad shelling is trying to burn farmland in northern Hama Province, defying Russia's declaration of "de-escalation zones".
Footage on Friday showed attacks on areas such as Latamneh, with men driving tractors across the struck agricultural land to try and put out fires.
The Assad regime has used the destruction of farmland and vegetable plots to try and starve opposition areas into submission, such as the Damascus suburb of Darayya and the al-Wa'er district of Homs city.

Judge Delays Oil-for-Food Probe
A 10-Day Restraining Order Is Set, Keeping U.N. Papers Out of Congressional Hands
WASHINGTON -- A federal judge temporarily barred a former investigator from giving Congress documents he took when he resigned from the United Nations' oil-for-food program, ratcheting up the clash between lawmakers and the world body.
The 10-day restraining order issued by U.S. District Judge Ricardo Urbina represents the latest escalation in a months-long feud between three congressional panels probing the program and a U.N.-appointed investigative panel chaired by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. The two sides...

We'd like to make a formal apology to anyone that has ever been tricked into going into a bookstore with a known bibliophile who used the line "It'll only take me a sec!"
It was a lie.It has never nor will it ever take us a sec to browse the aisles filled with our beloved treasures.
Below you will find a breakdown of the bookstore experience, to give you an idea of how it's all going to go down, how long you're going to have to wait, and what to expect.
A Timeline of Going to the Bookstore with Your Bookish BFF
0 minutes – You enter the bookstore with me because I promised it will only take 20 minutes, 30 minutes tops. And you're all like "I CAN DO THIS."
5 minutes – I've made an initial sweep of the new releases section and am casually sniffing random books as I make my way down the aisles. You are probably somewhere in the magazine section or have already made a beeline for the cafe.
Your current mood:
15 minutes – You are finished with your coffee and muffin and now you're trying to find me. (Helpful tip: I'll probably be in the Young Adult or Fiction section.)
20 minutes – Woo you found me! And I found the one book I actually came in for! At this point you are thinking the end of this bookstore trip is nigh, but hark! I've spotted a new Sarah Maas book that I didn't know about before! Sorry, but I must read the flap copy. . .
25 minutes – . . . I am now reading the first chapter of that new Sarah Maas book. You are getting really antsy and wishing you had less well-read friends.
Your current mood:
30 minutes – I have forgotten all public manners and am now sprawled out on the floor, in the middle of the aisle, completely engrossed in the new Sarah Maas book. You approach me, gently, to remind me that we've been at the bookstore for half an hour. (Helpful tip: Don't forget to apologize for interrupting.)
31 minutes – In an attempt to prove that I am good for my word, I will get off the floor and walk with you to the end of the aisle towards the register.
32 minutes – I have spotted a table full of special edition John Green paperbacks. You are trying so hard not to kill me right now.
Your current mood:
40 minutes – You give me a hard time for making you wait and threaten to leave. (Helpful tip: I will ignore you. It is better for everyone if you just accept this fact right now.)
41 minutes – Your threats are useless so in a huff, you storm off to the exit, vowing to never return.
43 minutes – You come back, shoulders slumped, because you forgot I drove and I have the keys. But now you can't find me and you curse the day I was born.
45 minutes – You find me back in the New Releases section where it all began. You've had enough so most likely by force or blackmail, you successfully lead me to the checkout counter with not one, but at 5 books.
50 minutes – You are back to being incredibly annoyed at having to wait, so most likely by force or blackmail, you successfully lead me to the checkout counter with not one, but at 5 books.
51 minutes – I am chatting with the clerk about that new Sarah Maas book and we are both freaking out over it.
Your current mood:
55 minutes – You are keenly aware that I am still chatting with the clerk. Your eyes begin to twitch in rage.
60 minutes – FINALLY! Books have been purchased and you lead me towards the exit. You are ready to deliver your carefully prepared "friendship breakup speech" but then you see how cute I am in the bookstore, how happy it makes me and your faith in our friendship is restored.
Your current mood:
The next weekend – The cycle begins, again.

School expels teen who kneed boy's groin in girls' bathroom protest, Alaska family says
Seven teenage boys tried to storm a girls' restroom at North Pole High School in Alaska in protest April 4 after a transgender student, who identifies as male, took a Snapchat photo in the boys' restroom, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
But a teenage girl kneed the boy leading the charge in the groin, ending the protest and, according to her family, resulting in her expulsion, The Washington Post reported.
Now her family and a Republican congresswoman are questioning the decision by the school district near Fairbanks, Alaska, to expel the girl, the Fairbanks Daily News Miner reported.
"She is somehow being blamed for this situation when she was the only one where she should've been," said Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, the Anchorage Daily News reported. "If you feel threatened, you should be able to defend yourself."
Student disciplinary matters are confidential, Superintendent Karen Gaborik wrote in a statement posted online. All eight students in the incident have been disciplined, she wrote.
School officials work with transgender students to help individually determine whether they will use gender-neutral, boys' or girls' restrooms, Gaborik wrote.
"Students are not permitted to determine which restroom facility is appropriate for other students," Gaborik said in the statement.
The transgender student, who was not involved in the protest, is transitioning from female to male and had earlier posted a selfie from a boys' restroom, according to the statement.
The seven boys decided to enter the girls' restroom for a selfie as a form of protest, violating district policies, Gaborik wrote. They did not use force or threaten violence, she wrote.
"They were upset about the public nature of the post and how that played out," Gaborik said, the Fairbanks Daily News Miner reported.
After the teen girl kneed the first boy in the groin, the others left, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
A school nurse suggested the boy seek medical treatment, but the extent of his injuries remains unclear, according to the Fairbanks Daily News Miner.
"I don't care why the boys were in the bathroom," Wilson said, The Washington Post reported. She said she wanted the expelled student and other teen girls to know they had her support.
"I said, 'Good for her,' " Wilson said, according to the publication. "I would have taught my daughter to do the same."
Some of the students have appealed their disciplinary action, the Fairbanks Daily News Miner reported.
The girl's family declined to be interviewed by the Anchorage Daily News or The Washington Post.

Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has not worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 NIV
Do you have a fear of failure? It's hard to admit, but the older I get the more I realize how much of my life has been ruled by a fear of failure. Growing up, it wasn't as if I was ruled by parents, who only recognized success. My life just evolved from the pressures of everyday life into an unhealthy drive for success. I became obsessed with making sure that everything I did was perfect. Failure was not an option. I did not like, nor would I accept, the word "no". It just wasn't in my vocabulary.
The problem with this ideology is that no one is perfect. At some point, the perfect little glass house you've built begins to crack and shatter around you. You eventually find yourself surrounded by imperfect broken pieces and it's impossible to put them back together.
How do you respond in times of trouble or failure? Well, there are two options: the first is to try to force the pieces to fit back together, but more often than not we find that we aren't equipped with the skills to accomplish this since we are unaccustomed to having to deal with failure. So we begin to wallow in our own self-pity, blaming our situation and those around us instead of admitting that we need help. This would be admitting that we had failed. The second option is to seek out answers. The answers you are searching are not worldly answers but a search for the truth from the One who knows us best. Jeremiah 17:7-8 says, "Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him." When we strive for perfection, we are only setting ourselves up for failure. Who are we trying to impress? Who is going to receive the glory for our efforts? Those are the questions we should be asking anytime we set out to accomplish anything.
Are we like the tree planted by the water, sending out our roots to be nourished by God or are our roots stunted from growth because of our own stubbornness and fear of failure? Do we seek success for selfish ambition or are we looking to God to grow our character? When we seek success for ourselves we are destined for a life lived in worry and fear. What motivates us is an unhealthy fear of failure. This is no way to live. We need to drop the act, shatter that glass house and allow God to plant our roots by the streams of life. We need to allow him to nourish and fulfill us and stop seeking a life that is filled with an idea of perfection that can never be attained.
It's taken me a long time to realize this, but success only comes from failure. It's instinctual. We didn't talk the first time we opened our mouths. We didn't pick up a spoon the first time we tried to eat. And, we didn't learn to crawl or walk the first time we tried. We failed, over and over again. As babies, we didn't care. We didn't lean on our own understanding; we trusted in those around us to guide us. Do you fear failure? Are you seeking perfection in every aspect of your life, or are you placing your trust in the One who wants to help guide you in your journey.

Examine your life and determine if you are ruled by a fear of failure. If you are, recognizing that fact is a good first step. The second is to work towards being ok with failing and ask God to help you overcome your fear.
Prayer |
Dear God, it is so hard to accept when things don't go as we want. Help me to accept help from You in my life and not try and do everything on my own. Help me to stop putting pressure on myself and instead allow You to take on the burdens I bear. Help me to recognize that failure is only a stepping stone to building my character. AMEN.

Target you and other touched willing creatures
Duration 1 minute/level
Saving Throw Will negates (harmless); see text; Spell Resistance no
This spell instantly renders you unseen as per invisibility, but creates a visual and auditory display that makes it appear as if you had teleported away. You can affect one additional Medium or smaller creature or its equivalent per 3 caster levels (a Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as four Medium creatures, and so forth). All creatures to be affected must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with you.
If a viewer identifies the spell with a successful Spellcraft check, she can attempt an immediate Will saving throw as if interacting with an illusion. With a successful Will save, the observer can correctly identify fool's teleport for what it is; otherwise, she perceives the spell to be dimension door, teleport, or similar conjuration magic. A successful Will save doesn't negate the invisibility.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Jan Mohammed re-enacts the alleged murder of his brother, Wakil. [Source: Crimes of War Project]Wakil Mohammed, an unarmed peasant, is shot to death by a US Special Forces soldier while being questioned about his possible role in a firefight. He was protesting that he and his brother—an eyewitness to the shooting—were merely returning home from afternoon prayers and had nothing to do with the fighting. (His brother will later tell the reporters that he and several others were detained and tortured, including having their heads held underwater in a form of waterboarding, and having their toenails torn out.) Mohammed's death is not reported at all in the initial reports of the firefight. The death is later listed by the Army as a murder, but no charges have ever been filed in relation to the shooting. The team's battalion commander will later claim that Mohammed's death was never reported to him. One member of the Special Forces team involved in the murder will tell the Los Angeles Times that his unit held a meeting after the teen's death in order to coordinate their stories should an investigation arise. "Everybody on the team had knowledge of it," says the soldier. "You just don't talk about that stuff in the Special Forces community. What happens downrange stays downrange… Nobody wants to get anybody in trouble. Just sit back, and hope it will go away." The Times learns that the Special Forces unit in Gardez already is under heavy scrutiny by superior officers. One officer reported that the Gardez unit was "the most troubled" field team among nearly a dozen in Afghanistan. Another senior officer wrote that the team was gaining a reputation as "a rogue unit," and a battalion commander characterizes the unit's performance as "a Guard unit operating unprofessionally in a combat zone." The Times will later report, "What distinguishes these two fatalities from scores of other questionable deaths in US custody (referring to the murder of both Mohammed and another detainee, Jamal Naseer—see March 16, 2003) is that they were successfully concealed—not just from the American public but from the military's chain of command and legal authorities." [Los Angeles Times, 9/25/2006]

The Army's Criminal Investigation Division (CID) opens a probe into the deaths of two Afghan detainees, allegedly at the hands of US Special Forces soldiers. The two men, Wakil Mohammed and Jamal Naseer, died on March 1, 2003 and March 16, 2003, respectively (see March 1, 2003 and March 16, 2003). Mohammed, an unarmed peasant, was being interrogated about his role in a recent firefight. While he was protesting his innocence, he was shot in the face by an American soldier. Naseer, taken into custody with seven other Afghans for interrogation about their supposed involvement with local Taliban or al-Qaeda fighters, died about a week after his capture, allegedly from repeated torture and abuse. Los Angeles Times reporters Craig Pyes and Mark Mazzetti write, "Motivation for those arrests remains cloaked in Afghan political intrigue. The action was requested by a provincial governor feuding with local military commanders, an Afghan intelligence report says." While the Army apparently looked into the circumstances of the deaths shortly after they occurred, no official investigation was ever mounted until the Crimes of War Project began its own investigation into the deaths. When the organization released its findings to two Los Angeles Times reporters, Kevin Sack and Craig Pyes, and the reporters filed a series of articles on the deaths in September 2004, the CID opened its own probe. Former Attorney General for the Armed Forces Yar Mohammed Tamkin, who directs the Afghan investigation into the death of Naseer, concludes in his own report that there was a "strong possibility" that Naseer was "murdered as the result of torture" at the hands of his US captors. Under Afghan law, he writes, "it is necessary for our legal system to investigate the torture of the seven individuals and the murder of Jamal, son of Ghazi, and other similar acts committed by foreign nationals." CID investigators say that the Army's original inquiry into the deaths was stymied by a lack of information made available by the Gardez unit's commanders. "We're trying to figure out who was running the base," says Army detective Christopher Coffey. "We don't know what unit was there. There are no records. The reporting system is broke across the board. Units are transferred in and out. There are no SOPs [standard operating procedures]… and each unit acts differently." Coffey does acknowledge that "Gardez is the worst facility—it is three or four times as bad as any other base in Afghanistan." Naseer's death was officially attributed to "natural causes" stemming from an apparent sexually-contracted urinary tract infection, and his death was never reported, as is standard Army procedure. Shortly after Naseer's death, the other seven detainees were transferred to the custody of local Afghan police, who mounted their own investigation. The seven were released without charge six weeks later. [Los Angeles Times, 9/21/2004] Two special Forces soldiers accused of complicity in Naseer and Mohammed's deaths will be given administrative reprimands by the Army in 2007 (see January 26, 2007).

Two unnamed US Special Forces soldiers accused of complicity in the March 2003 deaths of Afghan soldier Jamal Naseer and Afghan peasant Wakil Mohammed are given administrative reprimands by the US Army. Naseer was reportedly tortured to death by Special Forces soldiers (see March 16, 2003) and the unarmed Mohammed was shot after a firefight near the Special Forces base of Gardez (see March 1, 2003).
But a statement released by the Special Forces Command indicates that the reprimands only fault the soldiers for assault relating to the "slapping of detainees." It states that the soldier who shot Wakil Muhammed was acting in self-defense. As for Naseer, "all other allegations, to include voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault of detainee Jamal Naseer, were found to be unsubstantiated." A reprimand is not a formal punishment, rather it has the effect of reducing the recipient's prospects for a promotion and can end a military career. A military investigation began in 2004 after media reports about their deaths (see September 21, 2004). [Crimes of War Project, 1/31/2007]
Entity Tags: US Department of the Army, Wakil Mohammed, Jamal Naseer
Nieman Reports, a quarterly magazine about journalism, publishes an article by investigative journalist Craig Pyes describing how the US Army attempted to undermine a Los Angeles Times investigation looking into the March 2003 deaths of two Afghan detainees (see March 16, 2003). It is believed that members of a Special Forces detachment in Afghanistan murdered the two men, identified as Jamal Naseer and Wakil Mohammed, and then covered up the circumstances surrounding their deaths. An official investigation into the two deaths by the Army's Criminal Investigation Command (CID) found insufficient probable cause to bring charges for either of the two deaths. As a result of the CID investigation, two soldiers were given noncriminal administrative letters of reprimand (see January 26, 2007) for "slapping" prisoners at the Gardez facility and for failing to report the death of Naseer. In his article, Pyes recounts the resistance he and his colleague Kevin Sack encountered from the military as they sought information about the two deaths. The military refused to disclose basic information about the circumstances surrounding the two deaths, including the two men's identities, the circumstances of their detention, the charges against them, court papers, and investigative findings. The journalists also learned that soldiers had been told by their superiors that it was important that everyone be "on the same page in case there was an investigation." During their investigation, they also discovered that "military examiners had made some significant errors, including their initial failure to identify the victims. They also grossly misidentified dates of crucial events and persistently failed to interview key people and locate supporting documents." [Nieman Watchdog, 3/2/2007]

Prioritize Family Worship
Let's just admit something. There are two responses when someone sees the words, "Family Worship." The Traumatic Response Some of you hear the phrase and begin to shudder, having traumatic flashbacks of trying to do devotions with your children in the midst of tears, fighting, or squirrely kids. In fact, there is probably a counseling center somewhere devoted simply to t...Keep Reading

My doorbell chime box recently started humming, I purchased a new chime box but the new one is also humming when the wires are connected. I suppose it may be the transformer. Is there anyone out there who can help me out with this.
Usually the transformer is not in the chime box, but somewhere else. Where is the sound coming from?
Sounds like you may have a short in the circuit somewhere. For example a button that is bad will activate the chime all the time and make a humming noise. Try to disconnect the button and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't you probably have a short in the wire somewhare and you may need a professional to find it for you. Mr. Electric

Another weekend of Premier League acton is upon us so let's try to assemble a 4-team accumulator (parlay) with some prop picks & league fun facts & see if we can make it happen at the betting window.

Another weekend of English Premier League  is upon here on Matchday 3 so let's try to compile a 4-team accumulator (parlay) using three of the league's big four clubs along with Swansea City who plays downtrodden Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. The payback on this particular accumulator comes back at a little less than 10-t0-1 odds, and instead of looking at it as a Manchester United-Swansea City-Chelsea-Manchester City ticket, it's probably better to view this particular bet and these soccer picks as a wager against Newcastle United, Sunderland, West Bromwich Albion and on the hottest team in the EPL.

Saturday, August 22
Manchester United vs. Newcastle United (NBCSN, NBC Sports Live Extra, NBC Deportes En Vivo Extra, NBC UNIVERSO (US); BT Sport 1, BT Sport Ultra HD (UK); 7:45 a.m. ET/4:45 a.m. PT): Manchester United (2-0-0, 2 GF-0 GA) welcomes Newcastle United (0-1-1, 2 GF-4 GA) to Old Trafford on Saturday in the first fixture on the English Premier League Matchday 3 slate. The Red Devils have won both of their games this season by 1-0 scorelines (Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa) and United has W3 straight in this series, including a 3-1 victory in this fixture in Week 18 last season. The Red Devils are 41-20-8 lifetime at Home L9 vs the Magpies and Papiss Cissé, outscoring Newcastle 153 GF-77 GA in the process, and 2nd-year Manager Louis Van Gaal will be looking for new 21-year-old Dutch-signee Memphis Depay ( (PSV Eindhoven; 45/1 to win EPL Goal Scoring title, 5Dimes), Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata, new-signee Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich) and last week's goal-scorer, Adnan Januzaj, for a goal or two as United will look to remain unbeaten to start the fresh season.

EPL Picks: Manchester United -256 (5Dimes)

Sunderland vs. Swansea City (NBC Sports Live Extra, Premier League Extra Time, Directv (US); Sky Mexico (COSTA RICA) 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT): The Stadium of Light is the site of this match between host Sunderland (0-0-2, 3 GF-7 GA) and Welsh visitors Swansea City (1-1-0, 4 GF-2 GA), and despite the fact this game ended in a 0-0 Draw last season, the Swans new-signee André Ayew (Marseille) has been on fire the first two matches of the new season and along with teammates Ki Sung-yueng, Nathan Dyer, Gylfi Sigurðsson and Bafetimbi Gomis, Swansea City should be able to get a goal or three against the Black Cats. Sunderland was thrashed by Leicester City, 4-2 in its opener and then lost 3-1 at Home last weekend to Norwich City and has allowed the most goals (7) in the EPL to date. The Black Cats really need a win, but the way this team has started has to be making Manager Dick Advocaat nervous. Lifetime in Premier League play, the Swans are 5-6-1 (17 GF-7 GA) against the Sunderland and Swansea City is 2-3-1 (5 GF-4 GA) here at the Stadium of Light. Backing Ayew in the Anytime Goalscorer market (+245, 888sport) seems wise as the Ghanaian seems to be enjoying England's top flight of football so far.

EPL Picks:Swansea City +109 (5Dimes)

West Bromwich Albion vs. Chelsea (NBC UNIVERSO, NBC Sports Live Extra, Telemundo (US); Sky Sports 1/HD UK, Sky Go UK, SKY GO Extra, NOW TV (UK); 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT): Defending English Premier League champions and now 16th-place Chelsea (0-1-1, 2 GF-5 GA) head to the West Midlands and The Hawthorns on Sunday to face West Bromwich Albion (0-1-1, 0 GF-3 GA) in this Matchday 3 fixture. Chelsea—which signed Striker Pedro (Barcelona) on Wednesday—will be getting starting GK Thibaut Courtois back after serving a 1-game Suspension in Matchday 2 (Manchester City) for a foul (and Red Card) he committed near the edge of the box against Swansea City's Bafetimbi Gomis in the Blues' 2-2 Draw with the Swans at Stamford Bridge on Matchday 1. The Blues were absolutely humiliated by the Sky Blues on Sunday (3-0), so expect a healthy combination of Desperation and Fear to fuel Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and the the boys from West London. Overall in EPL play, Chelsea is 44-25-33 (171 GF-151 GA) lifetime against West Brom but the Blues are an underwhelming 18-12-21 (63 GF-86 GA) here at The Hawthorns vs. the Baggies. But over the L18 meetings between the two in league play, Chelsea is 14-2-2, although West Brom is 3-1-0 L4 vs. Chelsea here at Home allowing just 2 goals and blanking the eventual champs, 3-0 in a meaningless match here in Week 37 last season. So what happens? It seems the spot on the schedule this season is the Baggies worst enemy, and that no matter how good WBA has been over the L4 seasons against the Blues, Chelsea really needs a win here for both their heads and the points. Match preview

EPL Picks: Chelsea -155 (5Dimes)

Sunday, August 23
Everton vs. Manchester City (NBCSN, NBC Sports Live Extra, Telemundo, NBC Deportes En Vivo Extra (US); Sky Sports 1/HD UK, Sky Go UK, SKY GO Extra, NOW TV (UK); 11:00 a.m. ET/8:00 a.m. PT): Current EPL leaders Manchester City (2-0-0, 6 GF-0 GA) head to Merseyside on Sunday to face Everton (1-1-0, 5 GF-2 GA) at Goodison Park in this match which sees the Road Citizens as the Premier League odds makers favorites. And with captain Vincent Kompany (2 goals), Yaya Touré (1 goal), Sergio Agüero 91 goal), David Silva (1 goal), Fernandinho (1 goal), Jesús Navas, Samir Nasri, Fernando as well as talented new-signees Wilfried Bony (last January, Swansea City), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool) and now CD Nicolás Otamendi (Valencia), City looks like the team to beat in the EPL and if the rumors that Kevin De Bruyne (VfL Wolfsburg) is coming to the Etihad Stadium end up coming true, then the Citizens may be able to make some noise in the UEFA Champions League tournament. Rosters matter very much. And even though the Toffees and GK Tim Howard, Romelu Lukaku (2 goals), Ross Barkley (2 goals) and Arouna Koné (1 goal, 2 assists) have had a fairly nice start to the new season, playing Watford (2-2) and Southampton (3-0) is much different than playing mighty Manchester City, Expect Agüero, Silva (3 assists) and Touré to shine again on Matchday 3 against Manager Roberto Martínez and Everton here and laying 1 goal and taking a small shot at a 2-goal win is the idea to end this accumulator with a Sky Blue bang, even in Liverpool. The Citizens have the best Roster in the EPL and they are also renowned for their Defense and with 0 Goals allowed so far and Chelsea scuffling, Citizens Manager Manuel Pellegrini has to be a little pleased.

EPL Picks: Manchester City -1 +124 (5Dimes)

English Premier League Fun Fact: There have only been 2 goals in the L4 Aston Villa-Crystal Palace matches with 6 straight meetings going Under the posted Total.

English Premier League 4-Team Sides Accumulator: : Manchester United -256/Swansea City +109 /Chelsea -155/Manchester City -1 +124 (5 Dimes)

English Premier League Props Picks: André Ayew (Swansea City) Anytime Goalscorer +245 (888sport)

How To Study Chemistry Class 12 CBSE - Preparation Tips
What is Chemistry?
Chemistry is the field of science concerned with the structure, properties and composition of particle/matter, as well as the changes that a particle/matter undergoes during chemical reactions.
Some important topics taught in Chemistry in class 12 are:
- P-block elements
- D and F block elements
- Electrochemistry
- Solid States
- Chemical Kinetics
- Surface Chemistry
Marks wise important topics
- P-block elements – 8 marks
- Aldehydes, Ketons and Carboxylic Acids – 6 marks
- Solutions, Electrochemistry and Chemical Kinetics each for 5 marks
- D and F block elements for 5 marks, while the chapter Haloalkanes and Haloarenes is worth 4 marks.
Tips for Preparation
- If you feel you are not good at Chemistry, start early. Start reading your NCERT book as soon as possible.
- Do not try to rush and finish the chapters. You should understand that reading a book that deals with scientific concepts, theory and reactions is different from a novel or a comic.
- Follow up your NCERT concepts with a reference book to gain a deeper understanding of the topic.
- Start attending classes and laboratory lectures. Perform each and every laboratory experiment. For example, you might not remember Le Chatelier's principle of equilibrium for reversible reactions, but if you perform the experiment, and see things happen, chances are, you will remember it for a longer duration.
- Try and grasp the concepts and always ask questions. Make a list of unanswered questions and ask discuss them with a teacher or a peer.
- Do not ignore numerical problems. Most of the times, the problems are direct application of the formulae in use, and, at times are mixed with your understanding of a topic. The numerical problems, if mastered are a good way to score marks.
- After you finish your syllabus, revise as many times as possible.
- When you finish, do take the sample papers provided by CBSE in a timed environment.
- Also, have a look at the answers and the marking scheme provided, as no other source can give you a better judgment than the one provided by CBSE.
Tips for scoring good marks
- During the exam, try to write your descriptive answers in points and give pictorial or graphical illustrations wherever possible. It enhances visibility
- Scan the paper before answering
- For long answer type questions, before starting, frame a skeleton of the answer in the margin.
- Do remember the S.I units of all entities.
- Be crisp and to the point in very short questions
Recommended NCERT Books
- NCERT books for Chemistry are a must buy. Chemistry part 1 for Rs 125 and Chemistry part 2 for Rs 85 cover everything in the syllabus. They are the "official" books for the subject.
- Trueman's Steps in Chemistry for Class XII Vol I & II priced at Rs 550, it is a great backup for your NCERT book.
- Pradeep's New Course Chemistry for Class 12, priced at Rs 742, is a hot favourite because of its simplicity in language and the number of problems it supplements it with.
- CBSE Sample papers: You can download the papers from the official website. The sample papers provided by the CBSE are as close to the real exam as it gets.
