You know what I was like when I followed the Jewish religion—how I violently persecuted God's church. - Galatians 1:13-15 (NLT)
Today's culture says you are at the mercy of your genetics, people can't change. But Christianity says you are at the mercy of God, not your genes. We believe God begets real life change and makes all things new. Our man Saul (later called Paul) was a born and bred Christian killer. Saul was the son of a Pharisee (a member of an ancient Jewish sect, distinguished by strict observance of the traditional and written law). He studied Scripture, learned Aramaic, and memorized the Psalms as a young boy. By ten years old he was advanced beyond most other Jewish boys his age. At the age of fifteen, he trained under Gamaliel who was a leading authority in the Sanhedrin in the early 1st century. Saul was basically an Ivy League educated Jew, who, in his early twenties, made it his mission to destroy those who called themselves Christians, or followers of Christ. To him, they were heretics, bound for chains or worse, death. And to the world, Saul could never be anything different. But God had other plans in mind. What seemed impossible became a reality when Saul was traveling on the road to Damascus. On his way to kill and lock up more Christians, Saul was confronted with the true and living Jesus, and his entire life's purpose changed in an instant. And the man called Saul the Christian killer became Paul, the chosen instrument to proclaim Jesus' name to the Gentiles. Paul is living proof of Jesus' words, "With God all things are possible." This week we are going to take a look at Saul's journey to becoming Paul and learn about the impossible things God might want to do in our own lives.
Monday's Reflection

- Is there something broken in your life that you think will never change? Begin to pray about it this week. Maybe God has an "impossible" plan mapped out for you.
- Read Acts 9:1-31 and Galatians 1 in preparation for this week.
Saul picked himself up off the ground, but when he opened his eyes he was blind. So his companions led him by the hand to Damascus. - Acts (of the Apostles) 9:8 (NLT)
Saul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus left him blind. Literally. When he got up from the ground and opened his eyes, there was nothing but darkness. Struck blind by the presence of the true and living God. This was his first step into trusting the one he'd been persecuting. Saul was led by his companions into Damascus. For three days he was blind and did not eat or drink anything. But during those three days, God was enacting his plan. A man named Ananias was in Damascus, and he was a devoted follower of Jesus. The Lord appeared to him in a vision and told him about Saul. He said Saul was expecting Ananias to come and heal his blindness. But see, Ananias already knew who this Saul guy was. He probably had friends who had died at Saul's hand. Could this vision be true? Could Saul really be different? Or was Ananias about to walk into a trap? See, we get excited about a God who can do impossible things, but what about the moment when He calls you to an impossible thing? Ananias had a choice: trust that his Lord and Savior could accomplish that kind of life change and follow His call, or save himself, just in case this guy Saul was a fraud. Ananias had to trust that God could make such a radical change in this murderer's heart; his very life depended on it. And he did choose to trust. He went to the place Saul was staying, laid his hands on Saul's eyes, and restored his sight. Ananias' one act of obedience propelled forward the ministry of a man that would change the world for generations to come. He stepped through fear and said "Yes" to God.
Tuesday's Reflection

- Is there someone in your life that you believe is beyond the reach of God? How can you trust God for them the way Ananias did for Saul?
So Ananias went and found Saul. He laid his hands on him and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road, has sent me so that you might regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. - Acts (of the Apostles) 9:17 (NLT)
Ananias' act of obedience looks like a simple practical step in Saul's journey, so it's easy to read Ananias' quick paragraph and just move on. But I think there is so much more to these few short verses. Saul is a man who has been on a Christian killing rampage for a long time. He grew up a zealous and educated Jew but still doesn't know the full capabilities of his God. He knows the holiness of God, and the law of God, but he is about to experience God's power and community in a whole new way. First, Saul is struck blind. As if God is saying, "All this time you haven't been able to see the truth. Let me show you what you have been missing." For three days Saul is blind. Don't miss the significance of the three days. Remember who died and was raised to life three days later? Jesus - that's right. This is a significant moment. The old Saul is dead and is about to be raised to a life of freedom. On the third day, Ananias shows up, probably trembling in fear, lays his hands on Saul and calls him "Brother." How incredible. Saul fully knows this man would have fled from his presence just days earlier and yet he's calling Saul "Brother." In one word Ananias pours grace over Saul's broken past and accepts him with love. And then, on top of all of that Saul receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, God's very presence to dwell in and with him for the rest of his days. These few verses may seem insignificant, but they hold the truth of the gospel.

- Ananias showed Saul what being a Christian is all about: sharing the love of Christ by giving grace to those around you and walking with and by the Holy Spirit. What does it look like for you to be Ananias to someone this week?
Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus and how the Lord had spoken to Saul. He also told them that Saul had preached boldly in the name of Jesus in Damascus. - Acts (of the Apostles) 9:27 (NLT)
Shortly after Saul's conversion, he began to preach Jesus' name in the synagogues, the very place he used to go to find and kill followers of Christ. But everyone knew the old Saul, and it was hard to believe a man could be so different. People were probably pretty slow to get on board with this new Paul guy. I imagine he was getting calls from his old friends trying to figure out what elaborate stunt he was pulling. And when they realized it wasn't a stunt, they conspired to kill him. And on top of that, his new community wasn't sure they could trust him either. Imagine trying to trust and welcome a man who had killed your sister or son? They weren't sure he was for real. So I imagine Paul's early days in the faith were lonely ones. When we read about his transformation in the Bible, it sounds so exciting and incredible, but I think most days were probably just down right hard. After a near death experience in Damascus, Paul sets out for Jerusalem, hoping the disciples will accept him there. Unfortunately, the disciples in Jerusalem were afraid of him, unsure if he was a real disciple. But finally, we see a friend. A man named Barnabas takes Paul in front of the apostles and gives an account of the real change he has seen in Paul's life. And that changes everything. From that point on, Paul's ministry was validated and accepted by other followers of Christ. All it took was one friend, one man to step out and stand up for the truth. And Paul and Barnabas were in ministry together for many years after that day.

- Maybe you are like Paul, in need of a Barnabas. Or maybe you are like Barnabas, positioned to help someone else. Either way, God made us for community! Not sure where to start? Head to southland.church/groups today and start or join a new group this fall!
But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him to reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles. - Galatians 1:15-16a (NLT)
Saul to Paul. One letter changed. A small change on the outside, but Paul was truly a whole new man. When he met Jesus, Paul became the opposite of who he used to be. He went from being a highly respected Jew who persecuted Christians to being the voice of Christianity to the Gentiles, from chaining others up to being in chains himself. But Paul's personality didn't change. He was always a zealous teacher who stood on the edge of the law, both before and after he met Jesus. Often times we think becoming a Christian means giving up everything that makes you, you. But that is not quite right. To become a Christian is to put everything that makes you, you into the hands of the living God. And in His hands, you can finally become who He created you to be. You see, something happens when Jesus reveals Himself to us. He doesn't change our personalities; instead, traits we've had from the beginning of life begin to make sense. Jesus gives our personality and life circumstance purpose and direction. He shows us what we were truly made for and how to wield the gifts He designed for us from the beginning. Paul's heritage and early Jewish education were on purpose. His zealous nature and willingness to live on the edge of the law were gifts from God at the beginning of his life, given on purpose. It was when he encountered Christ that he finally knew what that purpose was.
Friday's Reflection

- God made you who you are on purpose. And the truth is, who you are hinges on who/what you follow. Who or what are you following? Is your personality and life circumstance pointed toward Christ or something/someone else? Pray and ask God to reveal His reasons for making you who you are.

Clean all the snow off your car after yesterday's storm? If you hit the road, New Jersey state law says your car must be clean of snow before driving. Failure to do so can result in a fine.
The law stems from Washington Township resident Cathy Eastman, who lost her husband 21 years ago. While he was driving on Rt. 17 in Paramus, a chunk of ice flew off of a truck, crashed through the windshield of Michael Eastman's car while he was driving home and killed him. He was 45.
Cathy worked with then State Assemblyman Bill Pascrell to get a law passed that imposes $500 to $1,500 fines against drivers whose rooftop snow and ice cause damage or injury.
Furthermore, she worked to get an additional measure passed in 2001 to require drivers to fully clear their cars within 24 hours of snowfall before driving or face fines of $25 to $75.

Ah-Maize-Ing: 8 great corn recipes from breakfast to dessert
Corn and bacon pancakes
Flakes aren't the only way to eat corn in the morning. This quick and delicious pancake batter is made better with a little bacon and fresh sweet corn.
4 to 6 servings
4 strips thick-cut bacon
1 cup flour
4 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. sugar
¾ cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 ears corn, shucked and kernels removed
Maple syrup, for serving
• In a cold skillet, arrange the bacon in a single layer, then place over medium heat. Cook until crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, then remove and set on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Pour excess bacon fat into a small bowl, but do not wipe out the skillet. Chop the cooled bacon and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and sugar.
• In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla, oil and 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat. Stir in the corn and bacon.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
• Return the skillet to the stove over medium heat. Working in batches, pour ¹∕³ cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the bottom is light brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve with warm syrup.
Fresh corn polenta
Polenta from a dry mix is convenient, but making it with fresh sweet corn tastes better and is just as easy. Serve with greens sauteed with garlic, poached eggs, sauteed mushrooms, pulled pork or a spoonful of harissa.
4 to 6 servings
6 ears corn, shucked and cut in half crosswise
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Pinch of kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Olive oil
• Over a large bowl, grate the corn off the cobs with a box grater, collecting the juices along with the kernels. Discard the cobs.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter then add the corn and a generous pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Add the Parmesan, the salt and pepper to taste and a drizzle of olive oil.
Husk-roasted sea bass
While we always recommend you use the highest quality ingredients, definitely use organic, pesticide-free corn for this dish incorporating the husk.
4 servings
2 ears organic corn
½ cup room-temperature unsalted butter
2 tsp. chopped fresh chives
2 tsp. chopped fresh tarragon
2 tsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Pinch of kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Olive oil for grilling
4 4-oz. sea bass filets, cut into 2-by-6-inch pieces
Freshly ground black pepper

• Prepare a charcoal grill for medium, direct heat.
• Meanwhile, to the bowl of a food processor, add the butter, chives, tarragon, parsley and a pinch of salt. Pulse a few times to combine, then scrape onto a piece of plastic wrap, roll into a log and refrigerate.
• Lightly oil the corn and grill over direct heat, turning every few minutes, until fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Remove the kernels from the cob and set aside.
• Drain the husks and shake to remove excess water. Stack 2 husks and top with 1 piece of fish, then season with salt and pepper. Top with one quarter of the shallots and 1 tablespoon compound butter, then cover with another husk and wrap tightly. Tie the packet closed with wet string. Repeat with remaining fish.
• Grill the packets over medium heat 15 minutes, then remove and let rest 5 minutes.
• Place each packet on a plate and use scissors to cut the husks and string. Open and spoon the grilled corn onto each piece of fish. Serve immediately.
Corn gazpacho

2 yellow bell peppers, seeded and chopped
4 ears corn, shucked and kernels removed
¼ cup chopped white or yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 Tbsp. chopped jalapeno
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
¹∕³ cup olive oil
¼ cup sherry or red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Fresh cilantro and smoked paprika to garnish
• In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, bell peppers, corn, onion, garlic, jalapeno and salt. Let rest at room temperature 1 to 3 hours.
• Stir in the olive oil and use a food processor, blender or immersion blender, to puree the soup to the desired consistency, working in batches if needed.

• Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with cilantro and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Jamaican street corn
6 servings
Vegetable oil for grill

¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1½ cup toasted coconut flakes

• In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, curry powder, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, allspice and cayenne pepper.
• Brush the grilled corn with the spiced mayonnaise, then roll in the toasted coconut flakes. Serve immediately.
Grilled zucchini and corn salad
Perfect for a potluck, this salad is even better the second day.
4 to 6 servings
3 ears corn, shucked
2 medium zucchini, cut longwise into ¼-inch slices
2 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for grilling
1 tsp. dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• Brush the corn and zucchini with olive oil then grill over direct heat, turning occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes for the zucchini and 10 minutes for the corn. Remove from grill and let cool.
• Chop the zucchini into bite-sized pieces and remove the kernels from the cob.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice and olive oil. Add the corn and zucchini and toss. Stir in the tomatoes, feta, dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Corn cocktail
Bourbon isn't the only way to drink corn. Mix and muddle things up.
2 servings
½ cup corn kernels
4 basil leaves, plus more for garnish
1 oz. lime juice
1 oz. simple syrup
3 oz. dark rum
Soda water
• In a cocktail shaker, muddle the corn and basil until milky.
• Add the lime juice, simple syrup and rum, then fill with ice and shake 20 seconds.
• Strain into 2 cocktail glasses. Top with the soda, garnish with a basil leaf and serve.
Sweet corn ice cream with blackberry sauce
1 quart
4 ears corn, shucked and cut in half crosswise
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1¼ cups sugar, divided
1¼ tsp. kosher salt, divided
6 large egg yolks
½ tsp. vanilla extract
6 oz. blackberries
½ tsp. grated lemon zest
• Remove the kernels from the cobs and place in a medium saucepan with the cobs. Add the milk, cream, ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat, cover and let cool.
• Remove and discard the cobs, then pour the mixture into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat and cover.
• Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ½ cup sugar. Whisk 1 cup corn mixture into the yolks to temper the eggs, then return the entire mixture to the saucepan, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Cook over medium-low heat until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids and transfer the bowl to the ice water bath. Let cool 1 hour, adding additional ice as needed.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining the berries, lemon zest and the remaining ¼ cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. When the juices begin to release, mash down the solids with a fork.
• Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids, and refrigerate. Serve over the sweet corn ice cream.

For nearly seven years now, I've been car-free. I had a small economy car for two years while I was doing my master's degree in the big city and commuting a long distance, at night, with very poor public transit options. But technically, the car belonged to my parents. When I started my PhD in a new city two hours away, they asked for it back. I was happy to oblige. While it was fairly low-cost as cars go in terms of gas, maintenance, and insurance (and possibly even pollution, although I'm not completely sure on that), it was still an expense that I didn't really need or want, and I liked the idea of being without a vehicle.
During the six years of my PhD, I had a bus pass. It was included with my tuition fees, and was about $50 a semester. For shorter trips, I walked and biked whenever I could, but by total fluke, I lived right on four bus routes that went to all of the main places that I was usually headed, and so I took the bus quite a lot. Local public transit isn't all that convenient due to wonky schedules and no late-night service at all, but it worked well enough for most of what I needed and wanted to do. As a result, I got used to the bus pretty quickly, and never really looked back.
Then, with the completion of my degree, the bus passes stopped. I still have to be on campus fairly regularly, and I do a number of other things, and so I once again needed to figure out how to get myself around the city. I looked more closely at the bus, and found that bus passes are between $60 and $80 a month. That amount certainly wouldn't break the bank, but it's still fairly high considering my income, and I wasn't that thrilled with the idea of paying for transit regularly.
So I decided I'd try getting to as many places as I needed to go under my own power. I dusted off my running shoes, tuned up my bike, and started fueling myself for extra exercise – I like to joke now that I'm veggie powered, although I suspect that joke will be getting old very, very soon.
Honestly, it's been great, and I keep asking myself why I didn't do this sooner (short answer: the bus was rather convenient for many of the things I did regularly, and I was a bit lazy). I get a lot more exercise and fresh air. Walking to campus, for instance, is 45 minutes and biking is 20 to 25. I listen to music or audio books as I go, which is pleasant. I see and notice more of my neighbourhood than I ever have before. I also get a lot more time to think, and have worked through some research and writing challenges while out and about.
It's not a perfect solution. Some days are too hot to bike, especially when I have meetings, and sometimes the weather is just too much, like with all the thunderstorms we've been having around here recently. Sometimes I wind up on campus a sweaty gross mess when I underestimate the head and humidity. Occasionally, people in vehicles simply don't share the road all that well, or pay enough attention to what's going on around them. But by and large, it's been a great thing to do, and I'd heartily encourage anyone who's been thinking about making the shift to give it a try. A bit more exercise, a bit more downtime, a bit more money in the wallet, and a bit less pollution – what's not to love?

From a random kebab-house to Karl Lagerfeld via some stops at some fast-food restaurant, the station's piano and two yellow letterboxes, Daria Werbowy's trip in Paris, Gare du Nord, has more to do with our own experiences of the french capital city than what an editor-in-chief of some foreign Vogue might see from the backseat of her (or his) car avec chauffeur. The smell of wet pavements, the legions of kamikaze pigeons, the grumpy tobacconists and the nasty grannies willing to kill you with their umbrella – all these little... [Lire la suite]
Houdini in Love
We could get rid of all our addictions except this one: faces. Well, and tobacco, let's face it, but ciggies might be as thin and leggy as a model, they vanish within the next five minutes and are as quickly forgotten as they were smoked. Meanwhile visages don't wither that fast and leave no ashes, just scars in our minds and this hurts so good. Never squander, feel what happens, say Rumpelstiltskin the fastest you can and smolder after burning. We may be chasing monsters under our beds or digging for some unknown treasure,...

Sexy Siouxsie (NSFFW*)
*Not Safe For Fashion Week. So, we start to hear about the newest Prada exclusive bookings, start to read unknown names and we'll have a look once the bottle of beer is empty. For now, we're more dazzled by one of Harley Weir's editorials from the latest issue of POP Magazine starring Suzi Leenaars. The tiny Aussie has enough punch to stun you as if you were dead drunk and forget the shows must go on, forget about the swanky lanky silhouettes tiptoeing glamourously in their stilettos. If all these runway rookies look like... [Lire la suite]
Meet Katie: up Beside That Red Firelight (The Skin She's In)
We've never been fond of overnight makeovers for no reason but when a butterly suddenly goes out of its chrysalis to fly straight ahead to our stomach (and we were bloody ravenous lately), we're not the kind to resist too long before melting from head to toe. And it's very few to say that Katie Moore just went out of her shell when she opened Alexander Wang's latest collection earlier this month in New York City. When others blush, she just ignites and the meaning of redhead has never been so accurate, so bright, so flaming,... [Lire la suite]
Hurricane Tequila
Leila Goldkuhl by Victor Demarchelier, or when cold gold turns hot, too hot to stop it now. If we haven't seen the shadow of her chin on a runway yet, her latest paperwork (if we may say so) grabbed from Heroine Magazine is worth a gazillion backstage shots. At least no lipstick lies, no exhausted smiles and no jumping-bumping paparazzi or eye-itching lights as background, just a fancy-free atmosphere all the way when you stop for a sec to enjoy the silent and serene smiles next to some cleverly clumsy hairdos – the ultimate...

She's so tasty, so sexy, so Greg Kadel. She can play it feisty and never let her beauty leave you too thirsty. With a tad of a twist, she'll get you wrapped on her wrist, like she does here today with Anastasia Khodkina as her partner in cream. Picture this: dancing in silky smocks and latex socks, high heels, red lips and some dog necklaces, Catherine McNeil tunes that game like she always does – walking on cloud nine and taking your eyes as luggage. Numéro may not be the most innovative magazine out there but at least... [Lire la suite]
A Stomach is our hearts (and Eric Clapton knows those are legions)
Her looks will never fail. Whose? Both. Kind of a quirky question, it's the atmosphere that counts, über alles. The lil' thing giving you goosebumps when you care or dare to take a glimpse at the glossy pages, between cheese and pear. Lonely afternoon turns into full fiesta and flowers grow up from nowhere, life is as rottenly beautiful as it is strange. By the way, it may be the first time we drop a note on Irina Shayk and a first knows no last. This also goes for Steffy Argelich, and goes even further (thinking of some... [Lire la suite]
Light My Dynamite
She's like a firecracker waiting for a matchstick, ready to ignite all night, captivating like no other yet completely blasé. The beauty who doesn't give a shit to her gorgeous features. Fashion is ruthless with pretty ladies but Damaris Goddrie is in a class of her own, not another good-looking classical shampoo-girl. Effortlessly raunchy from head to toe, with that random hairdo of hers, pouting like a grumpy baby, the carefree goddess turns us totally timber when she stands in front of Oliver Hadlee Pearch's camera, put in...

Wahre Liebe
Wahre Liebe – a german translation of true love. The pun wasn't hard to find, but don't take our title for a playfully meaningless bunch of letters that sound well together because the magazine is called LOVE. Actually, it wasn't LOVE at first sight and we went through scepticism and fearful nights before getting used to the aesthetics of Katie Grand's thick and glossy baby. Getting used? Not exactly. Unlike several other publications, those that struggle to survive and those resting on their laurels, LOVE shows enough guts to... [Lire la suite]

Eponyms are cool words because they are actually derived from the name of a real person who once lived. Say you become remembered for one special thing and then your name becomes synonymous with things. For instance, my last name is Lele and I like to define SAT words. So if I get "eponym-ized", then any time someone starts trying to define big words that person can be said to be leleizing. Though I doubt that's actually going to ever become a thing.
This 18th century scientist was one day playing around with voltage (that was a big novelty back in those days). He realized that if he sends a current through the legs of the frogs—even if the frogs are dead—then the legs will twitch and jump. The scientist's name is Luigi Galvani, giving us the word 'galvanize', which means to shock or stimulate somebody into action (the person typically isn't dead or amphibious).
Dexter was a total wallflower—until the house music started thumping; then, he was galvanized into performing the most improbable dance moves.
There was once French drill instructor in the military who made life extremely difficult for cadet by being such a stickler and disciplinarian.
Jean Martinet: Jacques Louis, zhou have a speck of dirt on your shoe heel; zhou must now do 300 jumping jacks and then hold ze breathe for 15 minutes.
Cadet: And I thought Napoleon had a complex
(That last bit is actually an anachronism, since Jean Martinet lived a full one hundred years before Napoleon).
Yay, more French eponyms. Nicholas Chauvin actually served under Napoleon and was about as patriotic as you could be without impaling yourself on your sword and saying, "For my country". Nicholas Chauvin also happened to look down on anyone who wasn't as patriotic as he was.
Today, anybody who thinks his or her group is better than every other group is a chauvinist. So basically doesn't have to relate to patriotism any more.
After studying in the Ivy League, Hampton returned home an utter chauvinist, looking down on anybody who didn't use polysyllabic words.
Franz Mesmer liked to look deeply into a person's eyes so that that person would become hypnotized (sounds scary!). Mesmer gives us the eponym "mesmerize", which means to hold somebody spellbound and enthralled. The word doesn't mean to literally hypnotize, anymore.
The speaker was so eloquent, so engrossing, that the audience became mesmerized.

Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, who is regarded as an expert on land issues, said municipalities and other spheres of government had had the right to expropriate land for years but had not been using it.
"They have no excuse not to exercise their power and authority that is provided by the legal framework which should be used to create additional land in the urban areas," Ngcukaitobi said.
His comments come in the wake of a fresh wave of land occupations in Gugulethu, Philippi and Manenberg over the last few weeks which led to confrontations between residents and authorities.
Some residents who claimed they had lived as backyarders moved on private and City of Cape Town-owned land that was vacant for years.
Ngcukaitobi said the land occupations were indicative of a growing hunger for land and housing in urban areas as more people were moving from rural areas which had been left in squalor due to apartheid laws such as the Native Land and Group Areas Acts.
"These laws created unproductive farmlands in the rural areas and many people are migrating to cities and this has created pressure for housing. Municipalities will have to come up with expansive land reform strategies to meet the demand in an equitable manner," he added.
Ngcukaitobi said the constitution did not prescribe compensation for land expropriation but municipalities should start discussions with private land owners to make land available.
"Private owners increase prices once they know that the land is earmarked for redistribution and this has also hampered the process. But municipalities have to understand the legal framework," he added.
In an attempt to defuse the situation in Gugulethu, mayor Patricia de Lille met separately with the residents who had occupied the land, as well as with private land owners.
One land owner apparently told De Lille that the land was earmarked for development of rental units and would proceed with a court interdict against the land occupation.
"The City cannot take further action on this matter due to the litigation," spokesperson Xolani Koyana said.
But he said discussions with other land owners would continue. Koyana said the community was briefed about various housing projects in Gugulethu that were in the pipeline.
However, a process of registration and verification of backyarders would be undertaken to verify against the waiting list.
The City added it was "continously" assessing land it owned for housing projects ranging from transitional, affordable, or social housing, or state-subsidised Breaking New Ground (BNG) housing.
Mayoral committee member for urban development Brett Herron said there were many opportunities for affordable housing in many areas across the metro.
"Providing affordable housing opportunities closer to where people work or close to public transport is non-negotiable. Where needed, we do acquire land from private land owners for housing purposes, and where development patterns so require. The location of the land, the suitability for development, and the costs of acquiring the land are important considerations. Some acquisitions are under way in areas across Cape Town," he added.
However, Herron said availability and acquisition of land was not necessarily the biggest obstacle to the provision of housing.
"In many respects we have a funding deficit more than an available land deficit.
"The housing deficit in Cape Town, and in other parts of South Africa, is one of our biggest challenges.
"We estimate that in Cape Town alone up to 650000 families will qualify for and require some form of state-subsidised housing over the next 20 years.
"This is a massive challenge," Herron said.
While urbanisation and demand for housing is rising, and construction costs have been increasing, the housing subsidy has not kept pace. "What we are seeing nationally is a diminishing number of housing opportunities being delivered year-on-year."
Another city official would not disclose how much land was available for housing saying such information would compromise it.
"The City is accountable and responsible for the security of its asset base and disseminating such information may have a financial and legal impact," said Stuart Diamond, the City's mayoral committee member for assets and facilities management.

Chicago's Uber call center decided to celebrate Black History Month a little differently this year. 'Uber Hue' a program for people of color at Uber Chicago's call center did a Black History Chicago Museum for black history month. They decorated the break room with African colors, pictures, and black history on black pioneers of Chicago. But one picture stands out the most among all the other pictures. There is an alarming race riot picture that just hangs out-of-place in the Uber Chicago's call center break room.
A picture of a race riot would make me feel so uncomfortable at my place of work. But the truth of the matter is that the picture of the race riot is definitely black history for Chicago residents. Back in 1919 a race riot broke out in Chicago from July 27 to August 3rd. Also there was another race riot in Chicago in 1968. In the race riot of 1919 38 people died. 23 where black and 18 were white. The Chicago race riot of 1919 has been considered the worst riot in Chicago. There was looting and violence for days. Over 500 were injured.
Black history should be celebrated with positiveness and enlightenment on black culture and history but not all black history is good history. The race riot pictures represents what black people had to go through in the 1900's dealing with racism and oppression. Lastly, I commend The Chicago Uber Hue program for celebrating all of black history rather good or bad, it's still history.
The fight still remains for equality in 2018.

The federal government has hailed a Southeast Asian bloc as one of the region's great success stories and has not ruled out Australia seeking observer status.
Parliament secretary for foreign affairs Steven Ciobo told a Committee for Economic Development of Australia conference in Canberra on Monday that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations had transformed a region of strategic conflict into one of remarkable co-operation and consensus, and was on the cusp of becoming a single economic market.
Asked if Australia should join ASEAN as an observer, Mr Ciobo said he was not going to announce government policy, but anything to improve integration in the region was a positive step forward.

My Baby Gear:: Car Seats
After spending months and months researching baby gear I feel like I have used some of it enough by now to let you know how its working for us. I'll start out with infant car seats.
Elliette's Car Seat
Peg Perego 2011 Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 Infant Car Seat
Color: Pois Grey
Easton's Car Seat
Peg Perego 2010 Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 Infant Car Seat
Color: Gala
These were pretty spendy… we were lucky enough to find one on sale and received one as a gift from Brad's family. We love these car seats for several reasons. What first attracted me to them was the adorable patterns and designs then I learned how safe they were! Bonus! Then I found out they were Italian made. Holla!…I studied abroad in Italy for 5 months in college. (Yes I just typed Holla. Judge if you must) One of my favorite features that I didn't think about while buying them is the EASY to adjust 5 point harness. As your infant grows the straps that go above the shoulders need to be raised higher. Most car seats you have to take apart to do this. The peg perego does this with a touch of a button, literally it is so easy to ensure you always have the proper fit. They are very cushy and are very well built. The one con I have is that they are a few pounds heavier than some others.
Some other brands that I have heard from friends are great if peg perego doesn't float your boat are Britax, Maxi Cosi, and Chicco. All these friends have blogs if you wanted to check them out and ask them questions about their car seats I'm sure they would be happy to help!
Britax – Ruby at Sweet House Life
Maxi Cosi – Nikki at Tress Dorrs
Chicco – Mallory at The Crain's Nest
That's my write up! Let me know if you have any questions, I love talking baby gear!

Updated with information from National Corn Growers Association.
Senators call for EPA to follow the intent of RFS
Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, along with 17 other senators sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency on March 23 urging them to follow the congressional intent of the Renewable Fuel Standard by increasing blending targets under the RFS for 2017.
"A strong RFS makes our country more energy secure, increases competition and consumer choice in our transportation sector, and ultimately strengthens our economy," the senators wrote to Administrator Gina McCarthy. "We need a strong RFS, and we need more biofuels. We expect that you will get the program 'back on track,' and we look forward to seeing a proposed rule released on time that removes the distribution waiver and re-establishes the United States as a leader in the biofuel sector."
The senators' letter stated the EPA's last rule setting blending targets failed to provide the incentive to drive growth in the development of renewable fuels, particularly cellulosic ethanol.
"Since the proposal was first leaked in the fall of 2013, not a single new cellulosic project has broken ground in the United States and many planned or previously announced projects have been halted. In the meantime, new investments in cellulosic projects continue to emerge in China, Europe, and Brazil. The final rule for 2014, 2015, and 2016 did not change this trend," the senators wrote.
The EPA's final rule for 2014, 2015, and 2016 was somewhat higher than the proposed rule, but they were still lower than what ethanol producers anticipated they could produce.
Joining Grassley and Klobuchar on the letter are Sens. John Thune, Richard J. Durbin, Mark Kirk, Al Franken, Joni Ernst, Heidi Heitkamp, Deb Fischer, Martin Heinrich, M. Michael Rounds, Claire McCaskill, Roy Blunt, Debbie Stabenow, John Hoeven, Tammy Baldwin, Sherrod Brown, Gary Peters and Joe Donnelly.
The biofuels community commended the senators for their unwavering support for a strong and robust RFS and for sending a clear message to the EPA.
"Getting the RFS back to the statutory levels Congress intended is critical in moving our nation forward to energy independence by using cleaner burning, homegrown biofuels, like ethanol, which reduce harmful emissions and our reliance on foreign oil imports. As important, returning to the statutory levels intended by Congress will provide the necessary certainty producers need to move forward with critical business decisions."
Source: NCGA, Sen. Charles Grassley
EPA reported to be considering shift in RFS compliance
Platts reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering a request to shift the responsibility for complying with the federal biofuels mandate to blenders from refiners.
The mandate is part of the Renewable Fuel Standard, which was authorized in 2005 and expanded in 2007. Refiners show compliance with the RFS by obtaining credits, which are known as Renewable Identification Numbers, or RINs.
In February, Valero and Monroe Energy petitioned the EPA and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to make blenders responsible for obtaining the RINs. Valero and Monroe Energy say making blenders responsible would encourage retailers to install blender pumps, according to Platts.

Committee doesn't invite biofuels supporters to hearing
According to a March 16 article in Biomass Magazine, the subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing on the Renewable Fuel Standard on March 16 and didn't invite the biofuels industry.
The purpose of the hearing was to examine the EPA's management of the Renewable Fuel Standard, according to the committee website.
The witness list included: Christopher Grundler, EPA; John DeCicco, University of Michigan Energy Institute; Kelly Stone, ActionAid USA; Wallace Tyner, Purdue University, and Nicolas Loris, The Heritage Foundation.
The Biomass Magazine article quotes Tom Buis, co-chair of Growth Energy.
"Holding a hearing on the RFS without any biofuels stakeholders is unacceptable and defeats the very purpose of what this congressional committee is tasked to accomplish," Buis said.
Not a renewable fuel
Meanwhile, the Environmental Working Group says that corn ethanol is not a renewable fuel.
The RFS prohibits the destruction of landscape to grow corn, but that's exactly what is happening, according to the EWG article. It further states that the EPA has dropped the ball by not monitoring land conversion near ethanol plants.
It cites an article by Tyler Lark at the University of Wisconsin, which found that corn and soybean cultivation reached record highs in the late 2000s.
Lark's study found that land not used for agriculture for 40 years was converted to cropland for raising corn from 2008 to 2012.
Related story: Study questions effects of conservation policy on cropland conversion
Is RFS relevant? -- >>>
A boon or boondoggle?
A study from Strata Policy and the Institute of Political Economy found that the RFS hasn't been a boon for rural communities, according to an article at Heartland.org.
Instead, the study findings say:
-Taxpayers have spent $58 billion for direct ethanol subsidies since 1980, in addition to costs from the mandate.
-Unemployment in the Corn Belt declined by 1.41% since 2005, compared to 1.89% in the rest of the nation.
-Per-capita income in the Corn Belt has dropped by $1,942.51 since 2005, compared to $1,614.32 in the rest of the nation.
-10% of ethanol refineries closed in 2012.
-The RFS distorted the market in the Corn Belt.
RFS remains relevant
In a column in the April issue of the Ethanol Producer Magazine, Renewable Fuels Association president and CEO Bob Dinneen says there is an idea circulating on Capitol Hill that the RFS is no longer relevant.
The RFS was enacted when corn farmers were selling their product for less than the cost of production and it provided a value-added market, he said. It was enacted when Congress was looking for ways to address climate change, he said, and it has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 354 million metric tons since it began. The RFS was enacted to provide competition for consumers, Dinneen wrote and it has reduced gasoline price by about $1 per gallon. The RFS has also improved U.S. energy security by reducing gasoline imports.

Two of the silent screen's major stars, beautiful blonde Alice Terry and British-born Conway Tearle, starred in this lavishly mounted MGM western about a woman saved in the nick of time from a fate worse than death at the hands of three rough miners (Tearle, Wallace Beery, and William Orlamond). Tearle suddenly feels remorse and not only saves her from his cohorts but proposes marriage. Having grown to love him, she accepts, but her parents disapprove. All that changes when the girl gives birth to a bouncy baby boy. Amazingly, this story, a barnstormer as old as the hills, could still sell tickets in 1924 and would do it again five years later in a new version produced by First National. The graceful Alice Terry (formerly known as Alice Taafe) was the wife of director Rex Ingram.

El Día de los Muertos 2012
Come celebrate El Día de los Muertos at the Luria Library.
- 10/30 poetry reading at 6:30pm.
- 11/2 Day of the Dead Reception from 5:30 to 8:30pm, with a Chumash Blessing, refreshments, and more.
- From 10/27-11/2 the annual altar exhibit, sponsored by El Día de los Muertos Committee, will be at the library. The library is open from 7:30am to 10pm Monday-Thursday and Friday from 7:30am to 4:30pm.
El Día de los Muertos, Day of the Dead, is a Mexican tradition that dates back to the ancient indigenous peoples of Mexico. The festival takes place on November 1st (All Saints Day) and November 2nd (All Souls Day), respectively. It is believed that the souls of departed children return on the 1st day and are greeted with gifts of toys and balloons adorning their graves. On the 2nd day all departed spirits return to earth to eat, drink, and celebrate with their kin. [source] The original celebration for El Día de los Muertos fell in the summer, but with the arrival of the Spanish and Catholicism the celebration was moved to November to coincide with the Catholic holiday of All Soul's Day. [source]
While El Día de los Muertos is intertwined with the American Halloween tradition it is distinctly different in origin. The Catholic holiday of All Soul's Day (November 1st) it is thought by some historians to have been moved coincide with the ancient Gaelic celebration of Samhain, which falls on October 31st. This day was then called All Hallows Eve or Halloween. The celebration of Samhain, much like the Eastern tradition of the Festival of Hungry Ghosts, is about spirits returning to Earth to perform mischievous acts. [source] While El Día de los Muertos is meant to be a celebration of loved ones and the natural cycle of life.
El Día de los Muertos is characterized by colorful sugar skills, skeletons, bright paper cut-outs, face painting, and marigolds. These attributes are not only to decorate grave sites, but also are used to create beautiful altars in celebration of the deceased. While el Día de los Muertos may appear macabre to those unfamiliar with the tradition, it is as much a celebration of life as it is death.

- Free family activity at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art October 28th

- Papel Picado template.
- Craft a Matchbox Shrine.

The Foundation's "In Honor Of..." program recognizes eminent, senior scientists who have made important and lasting contributions to the sciences of mind, brain and behavior. The FABBS Foundation's website highlights Lee's contributions as a scientist, and she joins 65 other scientists honored by the foundation in its Gallery of Scientists. Susan Goldman, professor of psychology and education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, nominated Lee for this honor.
Lee is the Edwina S. Tarry Professor of Education in the School of Education and Social Policy and in African-American Studies at Northwestern.

She is the author or co-editor of three books. The most recent is Culture, Literacy and Learning: Taking Bloom in the Midst of the Whirlwind. She has also written four monographs and published more than 62 journal articles and book chapters in the field of education.
Spanning a 48-year history, Lee's career as an educator includes work as an English language arts teacher at the high school and community college levels, a teacher at the primary grades, and a university professor. Lee, who received her PhD from the University of Chicago, is a founder of four African-centered schools that have a 40-year history. These include three charter schools under the umbrella of the Betty Shabazz International Charter Schools where she serves as chair of the board of directors.

I love Muffaletta sandwiches, but haven't found too many good ones in the area. The best I've had thus far is the offering from Tony's Italian Deli on Northwest Highway in Edison Park. But it's only serviceable at best. Anyone have suggestions for an upgrade?
As my screen ID states, I live in Rogers Park, but am willing to travel for a good Muffaletta.
By the way, Tony's cannoli and regular Italian Subs are above average and definitely worth a try if you need something quick in the neighborhood. They also have pizza by the slice and prepared pasta dishes which look good, but I haven't tried them.

Former Detective joins Celebrity Big Brother
Former Greater Manchester Police detective constable Maggie Oliver has joined this year's Celebrity Big Brother at the 2018 series launch.
The ex-officer, who resigned after 16 years with the police following its handling of the Rochdale sex abuse scandal, was one of the first housemates to join the Channel 5 reality show during its live opening on Tuesday night.
Her involvement in the case saw her encourage young victims to step forward to contact police about their ordeals.
She was later portrayed by actress Lesley Sharp in the BBC dramatisation Three Girls.

A bit about Joseph McCaleb
I wear the title "Doctor" at work based on my academic work having earned the Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin with an emphasis in English education and rhetorical studies (which in today's language might be called literacy education).
I like having "Doc" in my website because of the ambiguity that overlaps the medical profession's concern for healing with the mission of education. My business card tells that I'm committed to liberatory education, a phrase from the work of Paulo Freire, which connects the freeing of the human spirit with the overall health of us individually and as a culture. This is what education should be about. And in a culture in which depression and loss of meaning have become frighteningly prevalent, educators are needed who can care for the well-being of our children and youth. To do this, at least some of us must go beyond the bounds of teaching and thinking within the bounds of literacy-based consciousness. I explore in this website how this might be accomplished through a dynamic integrity which is related to the discipline of dressage (and is explored in the horse section of the website) and is crucially attended in narrative discourse and experience (which relates to the tales) part of the website.
As a native Texan of Celtic ancestry, maybe horses run in my blood, but it took over 40 years to overcome cultural prejudice that favored dress shoes over cowboy boots, white-collar desk jockeys over working in manure, intellectual over instinctual knowing, and the individual human dominance of nature instead of a respectful participation with all peoples including the "four-leggeds." So it's been a long road to being able to experience the unity with a horse that epitomizes the best of my dressage experience. I am not an expert rider, but I claim to know enough about the ecstatic experience of classical dressage to be able to articulate how such a union between horse and human, between raw physical strength and spirited nature is vital to life and culture. This quality does not require everyone to ride a horse, but dressage offers an experience and a metaphor of rare opportunity for individuals and for cultures in need of re-vitalizing. Riding in this way requires extensive disciplined work and often considerable expense. It would hardly begin to be worth it, for the human much less than for the horse, were it not for the incomparable opportunity for advance in consciousness, for healing broken places in spirit-body, and for learning about learning.
One of my favorite storytellers, who can be quite flamboyant, once described himself as a non-practicing shy person. Similarly, given to introversion, I was not really drawn to storytelling until midlife, only a few years before I fell in love with riding. My commitment to storytelling came when I fell under the spell of Gioia Timpanelli who does it not so much as a performance as she does storytelling as an extraordinary way of knowing. I believe she weaves the play of traditional narrative (fairy tale, myth, cultural story) around transcendent images (sometimes called archetypes) in ways that pull the individual and the culture toward life that is better, toward life that is more beautiful, more just, more passionate and even more fun. So for about twenty years I've been building a capacity to tell stories that do this and (as is suggested in the sample tales in the website) I rely on work of Jung and von Franz, as well as many classes I have taught around narrative theory and practice.

Welcome Tigers!
It is with great excitement that I will serve the CMIT Elementary School community in the capacity of Professional School Counselor once again for our 2016-2017 year together! I am eager to partner with you, brainstorm and engage with you, in all areas of support of your children's education. With focuses on Academic, Career and Social/Emotional development, we will work together as a team to support your tigers to be successful during their time at CMIT, and beyond our school hallways.
The Elementary age is a critical time in learning and developing self-concepts and understanding capabilities. From tying one's shoes to knowing how to research and write a formal essay, our scholars are ever changing, growing and maturing during their time in elementary school. And, with the world in the state that it is today, our country, and our neighborhoods, our youth are exposed to a lot, and not always age appropriate content and/or experiences.
This year, we are going to delve deeply into the meaning of our school motto and work through focused Character Education to understand what it looks like, sounds like and feels like, when we "R.O.A.R" and are truly living and behaving as a CMIT Tiger.
Respect Others… Opt to be Scholarly… Act Responsibly… React with Kindness
I will be working with our students on their capacity for understanding Social Emotional Language (SEL) and how we communicate effectively with others, and within ourselves.
I will provide Individual Counseling, Group Counseling, Classroom Guidance, and also Parent Workshops this year. I will host many opportunities to volunteer, as we have seen the greatest, strongest, most successful way to communicate the importance of school and education to our children is to show up. Research shows that students whose parents are involved in their education have better grades and fewer discipline problems, Wow!
Whether you have minutes or hours, your ideas, your talents and your presence is critically important, and I will work with you to ensure you are able to share your unique skills and character with our community.
Please check back here often, as I will update this page with ideas, articles, projects, opportunities, and more, that I come across and find relevant to the work we are all doing.
Here is to our 2016-2017 year together!
Miss Whitney Ritchie

Suicide Song Video. We hope you enjoy it! If you have any thoughts, articles, comments or personal response to the music video, we encourage you to share it with us. You can email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com
**See reader response to Is Suicide Right for Me? after article below.
Very young children are borne with happiness being a neo-natal distinguishing feature. Only until they begin to react within their milieu, through maturation, do they begin to lose their joy and freedom of expression. As they grow and become molded by their interactions with their surroundings, conflict begins to have an effect. It is conflict that blemishes the free spirit of youth. Behavioral problems start to surface and chip away at their well-being and sense of morality.
During adolescence, personality, self-identity, beliefs, self-image, self-esteem and their place in the world etc., start to come into focus. It is at this time that many people start to develop difficulties with the general challenges of living a happy, well-adjusted life. Their general coping skills, which are so very important in dealing with the ups and downs of daily living, may escape them. Life's problems may often become monolithic to them at times. Perhaps their most basic problems may center on their subjective perception of their own body and personality (self-image) as well as their personal self-worth as viewed by others (self-esteem.)
Self-image and self-esteem can be considered the basis of many difficulties. Without a positive view of one's self, self-acceptance, love of self and others, creativity, happiness, self-contentment, self-confidence etc., a person is likely to experience problems with daily living. At this time, happiness may have abandoned the individual and escaped. The ground-work has now been laid for the individual to recapture his lost happiness.
The literature is filled with books on happiness and how to go about achieving its capture. Upon review of what has been published concerning happiness, one is struck with how many times biblical scripture and the word "God" are mentioned! The general theme makes it apparent that it is very important to have faith in God in striving for happiness. Even the avowed atheist, Bertrand Russell, was once quoted stating: "Unless you assume a God, the question of life's purpose is meaningless."
When God gave Moses the Ten Commandments in Exodus, included in them was Commandment Number Six which stated: "You shall not murder." This directive from God also included personal murder, i.e. Suicide. It is at this point that one must consider the topic of this essay: "Is Suicide Right For Me?" Before you make the fatal mistake of taking your own life, ask yourself the following questions:
(1) Could I be so depressed, and filled with so much personal disparagement, so as to surrender my God-given immortal soul to an eternity we do not understand?
(2) What would be the fate and grief of those left behind who loved me so very much?
(3) Am I so completely abandoned by my "significant other" and my "support group" that there is no hope left?
(4) Have I made a sedulous effort to seek professional help to find the correct medication, compatible with my system, and adhere religiously to my doctor's recommendations?
(5) Am I fully aware how vital it is to love God, respect myself, love my neighbor and live the life emblematic of the happy person God meant me to be?
It seems evident that there are resolutions to deal with the fate of self-destruction brought about through suicide. If the individual were able to scuttle "negative self-talk" and replace it with "positive affirmations", their depression might hopefully start to abate. Granted, there is no easy quick-fix to turn around depressive thoughts into the realm of positive thinking along with a good well balanced self -love. Hopefully you will conclude that: SUICIDE IS NOT RIGHT FOR YOU—or for anybody else for that matter!

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. ~Anonymous
This really covers all the bases - no self-esteem, complete despair, no hope their circumstances will improve, no joy left in life. The caregivers should encourage "baby-steps" (taking one day at a time) as thoughts of the future are frightening (what if things don't get better) and long-term goals are impossible. Each day completed is a victory in the fight to stay positive. Belief in a loving God and prayer is huge. The sufferer has lost all faith in themselves and their power to solve their problems and needs to believe in a supreme being that is in control of all things and has a plan for us. But the fear of punishment in the afterlife isn't enough to keep someone from harming themselves. They justify death as relief from immediate suffering (which is the ultimate goal) – and will risk the unknown of death in order to escape the here and now. They just want the pain to stop. Help them to see that they are not alone and that none of us in control of anything. They must understand that we are ALL vulnerable to the stress of life and they are not singled out. The average person seems okay on the outside but if you talk to them, you find out different. Perception is reality but it is often a false reality. They also believe everyone else would be so much better off without them. They see themselves as a burden on their loved ones and on society. Many are afraid to talk about their feelings for fear they will end up medicated in a stress center. My opinion is to continue the daily routine if at all possible – even if it is a struggle. Go to work, go to the grocery store, cook dinner, go to the gym, stay in the world of the living. Those who retreat to their beds with pills don't get better – they get consumed with loneliness and isolation. Their feelings of failure are magnified with nothing else to get their attention. Giving the person a feeling of being productive is therapeutic for me. Even if you don't accomplish much – you survived another day – and with each passing day, things can change for the better.
