GARETH Southgate today saluted Tuncay Sanli's Boro debut on English soil by declaring: "He's going to be a top player for us."
The Boro boss was absolutely delighted with the Turkish international's contribution in the 1-1 draw at Burnley.
Tuncay was utilised purely as a wide player, and not as an orthodox striker, but he supported and engineered plenty of attacks.
Southgate enthused: "We got a glimpse of what Tuncay is all about.
"He's a very fit lad, he's sharp, he's got a good first touch and he's an intelligent footballer.
"It gives us something a bit different and he has shown that he can play in a number of positions.
"Playing on the right is a job he has done before and he can also play further forward in the middle of midfield. It's great to have these options."
The implication from Saturday is that Tuncay will not play as a striker, but supporting a front two.
Southgate said: "We have to look at what is going to be best for him and best for us. When we get used to him there is a lot more to come from him.
"We haven't had someone who can play wide on the right for a long time, especially someone who likes to run in behind teams. There is real pace in the side now and that's why we will be a different team this season.
"When we had Yakubu and Viduka together we had to be more direct in playing the ball to them, but we know there are lots of other things we can do now, and that's what we are working on, on the training ground."
While Tuncay impressed, so did fellow new boy Jeremie Aliadiere, whose pace caused the Burnley defenders plenty of problems.
Southgate said: "Jeremie works the line so well and gets into positions from where he can cut the ball back. We are not ready for it yet because it is something new for us.
"But it's something we should make good use of once we learn what he does and where the ball is going.
"He's got genuine pace, which is a threat, and we saw enough on Saturday to know what he can be very effective for us."
James Morrison scored Boro's goal, in the 54th minute, after Andy Gray had put the Clarets ahead shortly before the interval.
The draw was arguably a fair result, with Boro, wearing their new and certainly unusual white and gold away strip, hitting a few highs and lows.
Southgate said: "We had a strong side out at the start and it was a good exercise for us, especially as Burnley are an established Championship side with plenty of experience.
"We created a fair number of half chances that we didn't put away, but overall it was a good test for us.
"The lads are trying to move the ball up quickly from the back and we are encouraging them to do other things which will take time to get used to.
"When we moved the ball quickly we looked a very good side, but when we slowed things down it wasn't so good.
"I saw a few things that excited me, and a few things we need to work on. But it was basically all about fitness."
There was only one injury reported from the game.
Defender Matthew Bates came on as a second half sub, but suffered a blow on the head and had to leave the pitch within eight minutes to have half a dozen stitches inserted in the wound.
However Boro's injury situation improved dramatically today with Stewart Downing, Julio Arca and Emanuel Pogatetz all back in training at Rockliffe Park after recovering from strains.
In addition, goalkeepers Mark Schwarzer and Brad Jones will soon return from Asian Cup duty following Australia's elimination.
They went out to Japan on penalties in the quarter-finals.
However Dong-Gook Lee's return is delayed after helping South Korea reach the semi-finals of the competition.
The Boro striker played in the first half but was substituted at the interval as the Koreans went on to beat Iran by 4-2 in Kuala Lumpur.

- See is used to explain that our eyes notice something, it is not intentional and doesn't require special effort.
- Look is different from "see" because we make a special effort to direct our attention toward something with our eyes. It's not an accident.
- Watch is used when we look at something for a period of time. It's a continuous action of looking and observing. It involves paying attention to something with your eyes.
Think of it this way:
We walk to the window to look outside (we purposefully direct our attention to the view outside). Then we suddenly see a car drive by (our eyes notice it but not because we made any special effort). We then decide to stay there and watch to see if anything else is going to happen (we now make a point of using our eyes to pay attention for a longer amount of time, this is a more focused action).

Welsh Witterings: Llanfarian Village Show
This weekend as I dusted off my Victoria sponge cake with icing sugar and potted up cherry jam I couldn't help feeling that the set of the film Calendar Girls got it right when it showed the ruthless competition for glory at Women's Institute village shows, for when I arrived at my local show in Llanfarian village hall it was evident that entrants practice for months, indeed some of them from one year to the next and that they all take it very seriously.
The morning of the show was an absolute bustle with entrants placing their entries on display. From the faces and posture of many of the entrants it was possible to see that this was the highlight of the competitive year and certainly no game. Having placed my few entries on display, including, my daughters, Hattie and Libby's art and craft entries I wandered around for a few minutes and I must say I was truly dazzled by some of the work that had gone into the entries. In the youth section, the miniature gardens on a plate where superb, but then the entries throughout the show were all very good.
My entries didn't win any prizes, but then this is my first ever village show and I entered just to see what it was like and in order to support the village I live in. The winners in the jam and cake sections were old hands at village shows and they undoubtedly deserved to win. However, Hattie and Libby were show winners, Libby aged 5 had spent the evening before the show painting a very nice hedgehog and his tasty earthworm, whilst Harriet aged 8 spent her evening my button tin to make a button flower card.
After admiring the various entries and taking particular interest in the misshapen vegetables, it was soon time to head home for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. My prize winning daughters were still basking in the glory of their wins at bedtime and they have great plans for next year, although, I think I may stick to national competitions.

International Surety Bonds
Seaman's Insurance Group is Florida's Premier Boutique Surety Shop and Insurance Agency. If your company finds that it is in need of International Surety Bonds, we are here to help you. We have access to the most competitive International Surety Bond companies. With the increased spending on international infrastructure recently as well as the growth on global construction, we are finding that companies are competing for work in various countries. International banks once provided the lion's share the international surety bonds required by construction firms. New capital requirements have forced banks to not only raise the cost but limit the supply of the guarantees provided. Thankfully U.S. based sureties have expanded their global capabilities and are able to meet demand caused by the change in the international banking industry.
United States based companies needing International Surety Bond
For US based companies that are active internationally, or are looking to enter the international marketplace, international surety requirements can present new challenges. Overseas bonds tend to act more like a "pay on demand" basis as opposed to conditional bonds they are accustomed to.
International Companies Entering the United States Market Place
International firms entering the US market are also faced with new challenges or at least challenges they are not accustomed because US laws require bonds to be for 100%.
International Surety Clients
To meet the needs of our international surety clients, Seaman's Insurance Group is ready willing and able to help with the following international surety bonds:
- International Bid/Tender Bonds
- International Performance bonds

India closer to biggest tax reform in decades
News4u-News Desk- A major tax reform cleared a key hurdle in the parliament on Wednesday, when the Lok Sabha passed a bill to replace a patchwork of levies by the central and state governments with a single nationwide sales tax.
One of major reforms proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the goods and services tax (GST) has been hailed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley as the biggest reform in India since independence in 1947. He has said it could add up to 2 percentage points to the growth of Asia's third-largest economy.
"The whole country, which is one-sixth of the world's population, would become a single market, and, therefore, it would give a necessary fillip as far as trade is concerned," Jaitley told lawmakers in the lower house.
Approval in the Lok Sabha marks an important victory for Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), but the bill still must pass in the Rajya Sabha. The opposition, including the Congress party, is stronger there.
Congress supports the measure, but it boycotted the vote in the lower house, demanding the bill be first reviewed by a parliamentary panel.
Further complicating matters are the competing interests of the central and state governments, which want to protect their tax revenue and retain fiscal control. The bill also needs the approval of more than a half of India's 29 states.
The battle has already led to several compromises on the bill, leading some analysts to say India could end up being saddled with a badly designed tax.
A government think-tank proposed the tax rate be set at 27 percent, for example, which is well above the global average of 16.4 percent for similar taxes.
On Wednesday, Jaitley told lawmakers that the proposed rate was "too high" and needed to be "much more diluted". But some states are asking for an even higher rate.
Exemptions and exceptions have also been worked into the bill. The tax does not apply to alcohol, for example, and petroleum products will be taxed separately at first. Manufacturing states will be allowed to levy an additional tax of 1 percent on supply of goods.
"All this would make Indian manufacturers and service providers uncompetitive," said Saloni Roy, senior director, tax consultants Deloitte. "We need a GST that would widen the tax base and encourage tax compliance."
Jaitley has imposed a deadline to roll out the common tax next year. Reuters

Lix Forum Set FTU
This tutorial was written on December 22, 2011, Shani aka Wicked Princess. The concept of the tag is mine and mine alone. Any resemblance to any other tag/tut is pure coincidence. This was written for those with working knowledge of Paint Shop Pro.
Supplies Needed:
++Paint Shop Pro ( I used 10 but any version should work)
++ Tubes of choice or the ones I used, which is by Lix and called "Mew" and "mirta" andyou can find them at PSP Tubes Emporium HERE and Here You must have a valid license to use these tubes. Please be mindful of copyrights!
++Scrap kit of choice, I used a FTU one called "Death Becomes Her" by me, Wicked Princess Scraps and can be found on my scraps blog HERE
++Template Twisted T, which can be found on the Pimpin' PSPers blog HERE
++Plug ins: Eye candy 400 gradient gloss
++Fonts of your choice. I used Americana
Open the template in PSP, using your shortcut keys on your keyboard (SHIFT+D) duplicate the template as a new image. Close the original.
Open several papers of choice, resizing as needed. For example, when I look at the blue bar where it tells me what I've opened (say like paper 2) it tells me what percentage I'm viewing it at. For me it's usually 16%, so I resize to 16% bringing it to 100%. ( I hope that made sense!) Once you've done this, minimize for later use.
First open the banner template for the forum set.
Next go to the bottom template layer and go to selections, select all, then float, selections defloat. Don't forget to go to selections, none then delete the template layer. Repeat this process for the rest of the template. On the arrows layers, use a gradient that is complimentary to your tube. For example, I used dark purple and black. And the repeat was set at I think 4.
On the bottom circle frame layer, add a glitter…go to adjust, add/remove noise and set it to what you want. I did a random one.
Then open up one of your tubes. For example I used the Mirta tube. Using the close up (if you have one) copy and paste as a new layer. Move it to just above the arrow layers. Adjust it where you like it. Duplicate it and go to image, mirror. Adjust if you need to. Go back to the first one. With it activated go to effects, textures, blinds. I used the default setting it was already set to. Click ok. Do it again, but either check or uncheck horizontal (which ever is the opposite of what you had) and click ok. Do this for the opposite one too.
Back to activating the first close up layer (for me this was the left. I work from left to right lol) and go to the arrow right below it. Go to selections, float, selections defloat then edit clear. Now selections none. You should have the close up in the shape of the arrow. Do the same for the opposite arrow. Change the blend mode to luminance legacy.
Now we're going to add the flames! Open up your flames elements from the kit. Copy and paste it as a new layer above the arrow layers. Adjust it and resize as you like it. Add a soft gradient glow, I chose white. Now activiate the bottom circle layers frame. Using your magic wand tool, click inside the frame. Go to selections, invert. Click on the frames layer and then go to edit, clear. Now selections, none. The flames should look like they're coming up out of the frame layer and onto the arrows.
With this layer still activated, change the blend mode to luminance legacy. It should take on the appearance of the arrow layers some. Look at mine to make sure that's what it looks like. Make adjustments as you like!
Now open up the main tube you are using, in my case, Mew. I used the close up once again. Copy and paste as a new layer. Move it below the top circle frame layer. Adjust it where you want it to be. We're going to make her look like she's popping out of the frame. Duplicate it and move it above the circle frame layer. On the frame layer use your magic wand tool and click inside the frame. Go to selections, modify, expand by two. Now click on the bottom tube layer (in the layers palette) and go to selections invert, then edit, clear. On your top tube layer, erase the parts you don't want seen outside the frame layer. For example, I removed her lower half.
Next add the teddy bear to either side of the tube, to where it's facing in. Add the skulls to the top of the arrows at an angle.
Don't forget your copyright information. You can notice that I used a pixel font on mine and the color white. What I did was add it to the top of the tube layer and lowered the opacity so it didn't take away from the set but it could be seen as well.
Follow the similar steps for the avvy!
Add any text you want, save as a png and you're done!
Thank you for trying my tutorial!

USA 50 State Challenge update -
So, nearly 16 months ago I launched a fun challenge to see if I could get at least one person from each of the 50 States to visit my website www.ajwilsonbooks.net/ I seem to recall that I thought it would take around 12 months to complete - oh well.
It has been a little up and down but now there are only FOUR States left:
North Dakota
South Dakota
So, if you know anyone on any of those States ask them to click onto my website, just to say hello, then at least I can cross it off as completed.

physical science
Physical Science - Ms. Ami and Ms. Brandy
Essential Question: How do we know what we know about the natural world around us?
Essential Question: How do we know what we know about the natural world around us?
This quarter in science, I am most proud of my work on/have shown the most growth in collecting and analyzing data to identify an unknown because I was actually interested in figuring it out. I really put my best work into it and was very detailed with my observations, notes, and analysis questions.
An example of my best work can be seen on the A6: Properties of Separated Liquids/Analysis Questions worksheet because I felt like I completed it with quality. We got to conduct many tests on the two liquids, such as its miscibility in water, miscibility in ethanol, if it contains water, corrosivity, toxicity, and flammability. After we took down the results of each test, we had to narrow down what the substances actually were in the analysis questions. I matched up the results of our tests to a table with different liquids and their test results, and I ended up finding out the identities of the two liquids.
Another example of my best work is my Unit A: Studying Materials Scientifically (Assessment #2) because I could answer all the questions with ease because I really understood the concepts. Some of the concepts on the test were: explaining the structure, properties, and interactions of matter, how particles combine to form the variety of matter one observes, and figuring out the density of an object. I was glad that I got the density questions correct because I had trouble on it earlier in the unit.
This quarter in science, my biggest challenge/struggle was participating in class because I didn't raise my hand to answer questions and I didn't ask questions.
A goal I would like to work towards in the future is raising my hand in class/asking questions because it would be beneficial for my learning and the learning of others. Answering questions will help me show my understanding of a concept, and asking questions will help me understand a concept fully.
A way that I can work towards this goal is by simply raising my hand in class.
My parents and teacher can help me by encouraging me to do so.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) — Police say one man was fatally shot during an argument outside a Spartanburg store.
Officers responded to a shooting around 2:45 p.m. Sunday at the Lowe's Home Improvement store on East Blackstock Road.
Spartanburg Police Department said the shooting victim was taken to a hospital.
The coroner said the shooting victim died from his injuries later Sunday afternoon at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.
The victim is identified as Randall Belk, 54, of Roebuck.
Witnesses told police that Belk was shot during an argument with another man.
"It appears the two men were acquaintances and knew each other prior to the argument," Spartanburg Police Department said in a news release.
Police say they interviewed the man who shot Belk.
No charges have been filed at this time.
Police said the investigation is ongoing and more details will be released.

When Plymouth Community Homes approached Urban Planters South West asking for planting for its headquarter's reception area it needed detailed guidance on planting and positioning and the plants in place, in bespoke colours, all within four weeks!
Business Development Manager Lisa Bailey-Brown got straight to work, selecting the right plants for the room and ensuring the pots were painted in the right bright shades for the association's corporate colours.
I would like to say a big thank you for the works you and Urban Planters has undertaken for Plymouth Community Homes. We came to you with four week's notice of office landscaping for our reception area of our headquarters building, we did not really know what it was we required.
Not only did you give us professional and sound advice on which plants need to be located where. You also delivered on all the promises you made, including being able to paint the planters in our branded colouring. This is an A+ service and I would recommend you to everyone looking for internal landscaping.

Help Wanted: On Its Way
The business card printers are going to be busy. Marcus & Millichap managing partner Hessam Nadji predicts some 77k jobs will be added this year and another 82k next year.
Hessam spoke last week at the DFW Investor Symposium at the Westin Galleria telling us that between 2010 to 2015, forecasts call for more than a half-million jobs to be added in the DFW metro and about the same in Houston, double the national average. Another important driver in Dallas over the next five years is the population boom: 864k new residents (about 750k new arrivals for Houston). The biggest benefit of this for Texas is the growth of people aged 20 to 34. Young adults will increase by 169k by 2015, which bodes well for long-term growth.
Hessam (second from left, with the M&M dream team: Dallas regional manager Tim Speck, managing director (NE, SE, and Texas offices) Gene Berman, and Fort Worth regional manager Dave Luther) says Texas is about to enter an economic expansion with an empty construction pipeline, which he says happens about every 24,000 years. The next two years will be fantastic for the market, but after that it's a matter of where can you build. In Texas, he says oversupply is a problem, but he's hoping this cycle will be different.
Developers have started building apartments, but many won't be completed until 2012. For Dallas, it's harder to add new product (although we're ahead of Houston for becoming more supply constrained), he says. But, he'll still pick Dallas as the No. 1 metro in terms of long-term outlook for Texas markets. (In addition to the good news, we'd also like to thank M&M for being a valued sponsor.)

The Eucalyptus tree is beautiful; it is a tall evergreen that can grow up to 90 metres high (270 feet). The young trees have oval bluish-green leaves while the mature trees develop long, narrow, yellowish leaves, creamy-white flowers and a smooth, pale grey bark.
Organic Eucalyptus Red Essential Oil is fantastic on skin ailments such as burns, blisters, wounds, insect bites, lice, and skin infections. It can also be used to combat the effects of colds and the flu. There is also a history of Eucalyptus Essential Oil being applied to sore muscles and joints.

What's more, the first person to email us the correct answers to our new literary quiz will win 15 euros of Amazon vouchers. What's not to like?
Tag: non-fiction
Writers Abroad will publish the 3rd issue of its free online literary magazine in just over a week's time, on 1st September. This twice-yearly publication has quickly established a reputation for fresh, interesting and entertaining writing from the members of Writers Abroad.
This is another of my contributions to Christmas with the Crooked Cats, our seasonal serving of short stories, poetry and non-fiction articles. The Twelve Days of Christmas are almost over, but our event goes on until 9th January.
Epiphany takes place tomorrow, but Crooked Cat friend Sue Barnard will be posting then, so here is an avant-première about this festival. This was originally published on my French life blog, Life on La Lune.
The online writing group I belong to, Writers Abroad, published last week a new anthology of short stories and non-fiction articles, entitled Foreign Flavours. The theme of the anthology is food, drink and recipes from around the world.
It is a tantalizing collection of fiction and non-fiction, full of spice and flavour and sprinkled with mouth-watering recipes. The wide-ranging, sometimes bittersweet, contributions show how adaptable an ex-pat has to be to leave familiar dishes behind and venture into the culinary unknown.
Two pieces of mine are in it: 'The Beekeeper', a short story set in Corsica, and 'When to Eat in Corsica', a non-fiction article.
This is the second anthology published by Writers Abroad. All the contributors are, or have been, ex-pats living in places around the globe. Alexander McCall Smith, acclaimed author of The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series and himself an ex-pat, has written the preface.
Foreign Flavours contains 64 contributions. Thirty-four are non-fiction articles and 30 are short stories. The anthology also includes 33 recipes.
Contributors live in and have written about the following places: Albania, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Corsica, Cyprus, England, Fiji, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Malawi, Mallorca, Morocco, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, USA, Wales.
All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to The Book Bus, a charity whose aim is to bring literacy and the joy of reading to children in the developing world.
The paperback print version of Foreign Flavours is available from Lulu from today, Monday 24th October, price £9.60 (€10.99). At around 250 pages, it's great value. An e-book version will be available soon.
To find out more about Writers Abroad and our publications, please go to our website.
There are only just over two weeks to go to the submission deadline – midnight on 9th September 2011 – for a new anthology to be published by online writing community, Writers Abroad.
This year's anthology is entitled 'Foreign Flavours'. Writers Abroad are looking for fiction or non-fiction contributions on the topic of food, drink and cooking in far-flung places. Acclaimed author Alexander McCall Smith has kindly contributed the foreword. You are eligible to submit if you are, or have been, an ex-pat. Submission is free.
The anthology will be published as a free e-book and as a paper edition. All profits from the paper edition will go to the charity Book Bus, which aims to promote literacy among children in Africa and South America.

Month Two.....half Way Through Three.
Entry posted by CoralShine ·
515 views
Well, i have completed month two of 60mg a day and am now half way through month three with the same dosage.
Month two, at the beginning... it was just the same. Still breaking out however the breakouts were smaller and not so inflamed. I started to notice that in the last week of my second month, my skin started to clear up and only had 2 or 3 small breakouts on the side of my face. I was very excited for month three.
Now, half way through month three, I am happy to say that I have been pretty clear for the majority of it. Apart from one small break out on my jaw when I was on my period. Other than that, I have been absolutely thrilled with the results and that I no longer need to worry about where I am breaking out next.
Something that really helped me out during my second month on Accutane, when I felt really unsure about my skin and the products I was using was Mrs. Hirons and her skin blog.Everyone should go check out www.carolinehirons.com, she is absolutely amazing and has really changed the way I look at skin care and cleansing. She is a british "skin expert", with many qualifications and a good understanding of the beauty industry. If you're curious or simply a skincare junkie such as myself, so check her out.
My clarisonic has also been so helpful throughout this entire process. And no, I don't use it everyday. I use it about once a week or maybe even once every two weeks. I just need to see what my skin needs. There are times throughout the month where I feel like my skin just needs help getting rid of the dry/peeling skin especially around my nostrils and in between my eyebrows. One quick cleanse with a clarisonic and it helps stop the flaking/peeling for about another week or so. Followed up with my daily routine of Fresh Seaberrry Face Oil (this stuff is amazing, so hydrating!) and some Cetaphil moisturizer and all is well again.
Issues that I have been suffering with so far:
-the Accutane rash on my hands. It comes and goes. Some days it is perfectly clear while other times it simple comes back so red and sore. I know there are prescription creams and stuff, but honestly, if I can go without it then I'll will. My dermatologist says that it should completely go away after I stop my Accutane treatment, so for now... it will just be my amazing Eucerin cream.
-Working out has become sort of an issue. I love working out and really pushing myself... but I find that it has become really difficult while on Accutane. Two reasons for this.. the first one being that I get so red in the face after a workout and it stays like that for a while afterwards. Secondly, i get really sore after a run or workouts that I have never really had an issue with in the past. Specifically my back and my knees. Doing my research about the medication, I knew about the joint pain and stuff were common issues ... but i seriously did not think it would impact me so much.
So now, I feel like I need to shift my focus. I no longer need to address active breakouts but evening out my skin tone. I'm pretty lucky that my scarring is really not that bad but now improving the condition of my skin is the next goal.

Another adrenalin-packed year for Custom, Major Sponsor of the LCR Honda team competing in the MotoGP™
The start of the MotoGP™ World Championships is coming up and, once again this year, Custom will have the honour and pleasure of appearing on the front of the nose of the LCR Honda team's motorcycle, as Major Sponsor.
The strong link with the Team, founded by Lucio Cecchinello in 1996, is due to the common interest in challenges, new technology, speed and team work, that will make this 2018 another emotion-packed year.
The latest news this year is that the Japanese driver Takaaki Nakagami will accompany the established driver Cal Crutchlow. A completely new duo in the LCR Honda Team box that declares itself satisfied and ambitious for this new season!
Cal Crutchlow: a long-standing bond with the LCR Honda Team
Cal Crutchlow was born in Coventry on 29 October 1985; his passion for two wheels took root when he was still young, so much so, that in 1999 he won the British Junior Challenge Championship, laying the way for a series of important goals in the world of motorcycling.
In 2011, his career changed direction when he entered the MotoGP™ to compete, going from one team to another until he officially became part of the LCR Honda Team in 2015 with whom he created a bond of reciprocal trust and respect that is still going strong today.
Some of his most important accomplishments include the first MotoGP™ victory in 2016 at the Grand Prix in the Czech Republic, winning the Grand Prix in Australia in the same year and third place last year in Argentina.
Takaaki Nakagami: the LCR Honda Team's new entry
Takaaki Nakagami was born in Chiba on 9 February1992; he showed his determination from an early age, starting his career in mini-motorcycling and moving on to the Japanese National Championship which he won in 2006, in the 125 category.
He entered the 125 Motor Cycle Racing World Championships in 2008, leaving it in 2010 to return to Japan, in other national competitions.
In 2012, he re-entered the Motor Cycle Racing World Championships and took part up until last year, winning various important titles including first place in the Dutch Grand Prix in 2016.
This year, he is officially joining the LCR Honda Team taking part in the MotoGP™ alongside the well-established Cal Crutchlow.

That's according to player turned pundit Tony Cascarino who reckons the England international is at a crossroads in his career.
Wilshere spent last season on loan at the Cherries but failed to impress and broke his leg towards the end of the campaign.
Cascarino says injuries have taken their toll and Wilshere is now lagging behind the likes N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic in the Premier League hierarchy.
Cascarino told The Times: "He seemed to join Bournemouth because his friend Benik Afobe was there, rather than pick a club where he was going to prove himself.
"Eddie Howe saw that he needed to play three in midfield to accommodate Wilshere and, midway through the season, the England man was on the bench.
"Howe wasn't in a hurry to re-sign him as he did with Nathan Aké, who was on loan from Chelsea and then joined permanently for £20m.
"Wilshere should have moved abroad —despite the language barrier, the slight isolation forces you to focus on football.
"Arsenal ace Jack Wilshere struggled at Bournemouth "
He has much to prove now. The modern-day midfielder needs to be so athletic —can he compete with players such as Kanté and Matic? Can he create and score goals? Can he play 90 minutes regularly? Is he in control of his emotions? Is he free of injuries?
"I hate to write people off because I've been there myself.
"If he is over the injuries and has the right attitude he can still be a top Premier League player. But it's now or never."
Arsenal face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday but Wilshere is not expected to feature.

Alex M. Bromir
Inducted 1994
Whether as teacher, coach or administrator, Alex Bromir has demonstrated a strong commitment to interscholastic athletics and activities through his 40-year career in public education.
Bromir, a native of Monessen, Penn., despite calling Miami his hometown, began his teaching career in 1954 at Tyron (N.C.) High School where he coached both the boys and girls basketball teams. Following that first year of teaching, he returned to Miami, where he had resided since 1941, and taught at Miami Springs Junior High School.
Bromir's administrative career began in 1962 as an assistant principal at Carol City Junior High School. He moved to Miami Springs Senior High School as an assistant principal in 1965, and then was promoted to principal of Horace Mann Junior High in 1967.
In 1969, Bromir returned to Miami Springs Senior as principal, where he became actively involved in the governance of the Florida High School Activities Association – first as a District 12 Director from 1973-78, as Vice President in 1978-79 and as president from 1979-81., when he left Miami Springs Senior to become Area Line Director and Area and Region Superintendent in Dade County for 10 years. Following a one year retirement, Bromir returned to the Dade County School System as Chief Administrator of the Division of Community Education and Participation, a position he still olds today.
During this past school year, Bromir – in collaboration with several public and private organizations in Dade County – has developed the Good Life Program, through which professional, collegiate and high school athletes work as mentors to per-high school students within the high school's feeder pattern and at the local parks. The program has received national recognition from U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, and will be a topic of discussion at the National Training Consortium at the Whit House in 1995.
Bromir and his wife, Deannie, are parents of three children and have six grandchildren. They reside in Miami Springs.

Why You Should Buy a Refurbished Phone Instead of a New OneJuuso Virkajärvi
Many are wondering why they should choose a refurbished iPhone from Swappie over a completely new one. In this article, we will explore some of the reasons why buying a used and refurbished phone is a sensible choice today.
1. The phones function just like new ones, but the price is far lower
All the phones sold by Swappie work just as well as new ones technically. If any faults arise in the phone's functioning after purchase, it will be repaired by us under our extensive warranty. This applies to all models sold by us. Our best condition category "Like new" means that the phone is in the same condition as a new one cosmetically as well. We also have other condition categories on offer, which have a little more signs of wear. Naturally, the price decreases considerably with lower condition categories. Small scratches on the body are barely noticeable and even the larger marks on our phones in "Acceptable" condition are often hidden by a phone case.
Functionally, all the phones in every condition category are as good as new. The main reason why the iPhone body is left unchanged in refurbished models as well is that the main technical components of the iPhone are built around the body. This makes replacing the body very expensive and not worth changing for cosmetic reasons alone. The display and parts that require renewing, such as batteries, are of course replaced!
Affordable prices create new possibilities for choosing a smartphone. If you have a predetermined budget, Swappie's prices mean you can get a used smartphone with better features than when buying a completely new one. Swappie offers phones for both basic users and users with more demanding needs.
2. Phones have a longer life cycle than is commonly thought
One of the most common misconceptions is that phone's have a short life cycle. Phones work just like new ones when they are repaired professionally. When bad parts are replaced with completely new ones and batteries are replaced, for example, the phones' lifespans rise to a whole new level.
Due to the thorough checking and repair process, the used phones sold by Swappie always have a battery capacity of 80–100%, regardless of their condition category. As a result, the phone's life cycle is reset. For example, we still sell refurbished iPhone 5s models, even though the product is over five years old. Simply put: the age of the phone no longer matters when it has been thoroughly repaired.
3. The long and comprehensive Swappie Warranty
Since we thoroughly check and repair the phones we sell, we can provide a long and comprehensive warranty for them. The Swappie Warranty for all phones is always 12 months, regardless of their condition category. All functional faults are filtered out in Swappie's checking process, but if any faults arise during the twelve months of use we will repair them for you.
For comparison: Apple only provides a three-month warranty for their replacement devices and the warranty period for newly purchased devices is 12 months. Our warranty also covers more faults than the warranty provided for new phones, because it is not voided for small signs of wear. We do not trouble our customers with long warranty repair times or complicated terms, instead we immediately switch the phone to a new corresponding phone. You will not have to wait for a replacement phone for weeks on end. This applies to all models whose faults are not caused by the buyer, such as getting the phone wet or cracking the display.
4. It's cheaper and safer than online flea markets
You can save hundreds of euros by buying a refurbished phone from us instead of a new one. Choose the best phone for the best price. You will save even more if you sell your old phone to us in the process.
Repairing large numbers of phones at once allows us to offer even cheaper prices than private sellers on Ebay or Amazon. There are other things to consider when using online flea markets, which should be carefully considered. The phone may be stolen, or it may have gotten wet or damaged in a way that you cannot notice when trying it out.
5. A used phone is an ecological choice
Naturally, it's always more ecological to buy a refurbished phone than a new phone.
The small electronics contained in phones also contain rarer precious metals. Thus, by recycling them we are also helping out the environment. As more and more people buy their phones refurbished, the need for the use of rare natural resources in manufacturing new models is reduced.
6. The 14-day right to return means there are no risks involved
People are often hesitant to buy their first refurbished phone instead of a new one. Making the purchase is not any different to buying a new phone: you can also buy a refurbished phone from our online store and get it delivered directly to your home.
However, we do provide our customers with a full 14-day right to return. You will receive a full refund if the phone is not in the condition you expected or if you wish to buy another model instead. One could say that buying a phone from Swappie is just as risk-free as buying a new phone from anywhere else.
7. The cherry on the cake – a neat box
Lots of people buy and wish for phones as Christmas or birthday gifts, for instance. If you're giving a phone as a gift to a child, for example, the packaging naturally plays a very important role. All of Swappie's phones are packaged professionally in neat and stylish boxes.
This means you get the same unboxing experience as when buying a new phone, whether you buy a phone for yourself, your child or a friend.
So, why would you not buy a refurbished phone?

Styling a Cocktail Table
Styling a cocktail table, also known as a coffee table, is very simple! Too often when someone is overwhelmed with this, they are usually overthinking it! It doesn't take much to finish off the table, and actually only requires 3 main ideas.
3 Basic Rules of Styling a Cocktail Table
- Don't leave it bare.
- One large anchor item, such as a tray or large book.
- Useful or beautiful items around and on top!
That's it! So simple.
Keep in mind your household when choosing which items to use for the coffee table. If your family loves to look through photo albums, then let a larger photo album be the anchor item. If it is a house full of women, such as the sorority houses I do for Phi Mu, then by golly use a large decorative book about women with a huge pink ceramic flower! Decorative boxes, baskets for remotes, and more fun ideas below!
What To Look For When Shopping For This
- Large flat item such as a tray or large book that makes sense for your household. Size needs to be relative to the table.
- Some decorative object that is roundish in shape and smaller than the tray or book.
- Elegant, unique, or colorful items.
- Functional items like baskets, or photo albums you may already have, or even decorative boxes to hide away unsightly coasters and remotes!
- Items that could make good conversation starters.
- A little "nature," even if it is faux!
Don't be stumped by something so easy! And if you do get overwhelmed, just read back through this post!

As a woman that has battled with my weight for years, I am always looking for ways to lose weight. About a month ago, I started a weight loss program and started counting calories very strictly. One month later, I am down 19 pounds.
However, I want to continue my weight loss and incorporate more exercise, preferably a fat burning regimen. After many, many hours of research, I have found the following tips to help us ladies shed that excess fat!
Timing your pre-meal snack by eating a low carbohydrate protein type bar ninety minutes before your workout will allow you to exercise longer and harder. This result will be that your body will be burning more calories – according to the MyPill research.
Breathe through your nose instead of your mouth will allow you to stabilize your heart rate. Resulting in your body working harder and burning more calories. This process takes time to perfect.
Do cardio last, because it takes about 15 minutes for your body to warm up and start burning fat. Therefore, if you do weights first and then cardio, you will be burning fat for the entire workout period.
Try mixing up your workout with a variety of exercises and equipment. If you develop a routine on a regular basis, your body may adjust to the routine and stop burning fat.
Try not to slouch during your exercise. For instance while riding a stationary bike, if you slouch you are not taking in as much oxygen as you would if you are in good posture. Taking in oxygen will help your body burn fat!
Try to workout on the treadmill and elliptical machine in intervals. Try working out at different levels for certain amounts of time and change it up during the workout. Elliptical machines can have tension variations to change up the routine. Most treadmill and elliptical machines have programs built in for this reason.
Adding weights to normal exercise can help burn fat. If you walk or just stair climb, add a few weights and you are toning muscle and burning fat.
Keep a journal of all your foods that you intake. If you have not been doing this, you might be very amazed at the calories and you may not have discovered. Read labels carefully, make sure the portion size and the calories you are keeping record of, are correct.
Try to find out your basal metabolism, this is the amount of calories that you burn when you are inactive. Check online for charts that can help you determine your basal metabolism, then you will know how many calories you will need to burn to lose weight.
Make sure that you develop a routine three to five times a week. When you have established a routine, your body's metabolism will increase, therefore allowing you to burn more calories even while inactive.
There is no magic pill that will allow us to drop excess weight overnight. With a little hard work and diet, you will see results. Be patient and do not overwork your muscles and risk injury, this will only set you back. Exercise at your own pace and increase gradually.

Elliott Smith keeps moving
Songwriter talks about relocation, labels, and guns
ATLANTA (CNN) -- If you didn't know Elliott Smith, you might be slightly confused.
Here's this skinny guy with pale skin and greasy hair sitting at a table in his tour bus, drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette. Everything about him says, "I'm a singer-songwriter," even his quiet voice and shifting eyes.
Everything, that is, except his redneck outfit: a camouflage hunting cap and a faded T-shirt promoting Hank Williams Jr. Smith, in fact, claims to be a fan of the country legend -- "Bocephus" to those in the know.
"I really like some of his songs -- 'All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down,' not to be confused with 'All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight,' which is a very different song," Smith says, and it's unclear whether he's deadpanning.
No guns, just pens
Then he mentions how, after moving from the New York area to Los Angeles recently, he almost bought a pickup truck with a gun rack in the back window.
"Part of me wanted to get guns and put them in the rack, but I don't think I would have gone that far," he says. "I don't like guns and I think I wouldn't want to own one. It seems like a magnet for trouble."
Sanity returns to the moment. Of course he doesn't want a gun. He's Elliott Smith, introspective singer-songwriter. His pen is mightier than any sword.
But then Smith continues in a disturbingly calculated voice:
"As I've become an adult, I've slowly tried to reduce my anger at people who seem like they're being stupid, like tough guys at a bar," he says. "I think if I had a gun, it wouldn't encourage me to stay calm and just let it pass. It's better get better at letting that pass than to buy a weapon."
For a moment, it's easy to picture Smith in a Hollywood bar, lighting the place with muzzle flashes and the sick grin of revenge, screaming in twang, "This here's for all you tough guys!"
He'd never do something like that, but Smith has been pushing the envelope of perception and avoiding labels for most of his career. He might not be the gun type, but he's certainly not what you think he is.
Odd man at the Oscars
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, 30 years ago, raised in Dallas, Smith burst onto the mainstream scene in 1997. After recording three independent albums, he supplied a handful of songs to the "Good Will Hunting" soundtrack.
Then came the Academy Awards in 1998. Smith's "Good Will Hunting" song "Miss Misery" was up for best song that year. He was one of many left in the Oscar wake of "Titanic," losing to "My Heart Will Go On," sung by Celine Dion.
But one of the memorable moments from that Oscar telecast -- aside from "Titanic" director James Cameron crowning himself king -- was Smith's live performance of his song. It was his moment to command the spotlight at this made-for-TV extravaganza. Instead, Smith, wearing black, ambled out on stage with just an acoustic guitar and mumbled the song into the microphone.
He was a study in contrast, an alter-ego to all the ego filling the moment. And he continues to remain true to himself.
'Pet Sounds' sound?'
Recently, Smith toured through Atlanta to promote his latest work, "Figure 8," which has taken his cloudy-day acoustic style and given it sonic layers of keyboards and string arrangements.
Many critics consider the album to be a solid and level-headed progression from Smith's folk-based foundation to an ethereal-pop realm of introspective lyrics and melodic accompaniment.
One critic was even moved enough to liken the CD to "Pet Sounds," the Beach Boys 1966 masterpiece. Smith declines the flattering comparison.
"That seems very hyperbolic," he says. "I recorded -- alone -- most of the songs, with two producers. That's not the same situation as 'Pet Sounds,' and it's not as symphonic as 'Pet Sounds.' It's not 'Pet Sounds.'
"I like 'Pet Sounds' and that's a huge compliment to me, but there's no way I'm going to accept it."
Smith, in fact, claims that he never reads reviews. He fears they might interfere with his songwriting.
"That little interior landscape where you make stuff up starts getting more and more peopled with opinions," he says. "And even if the reviews are good, it starts to crowd up the room."
'Kind of fragmented'
"Figure 8" features enough personalities as it stands, from the off-kilter, poppy opener "Son of Sam" to the melancholy "Easy Way Out." In songs like "Somebody That I Used to Know," he returns to his "Good Will Hunting" days of acoustic strums and simple voice. Then he turns it up several notches for "Wouldn't Mama Be Proud?"
Despite the varying sounds, Smith remains true to his lyrics. Like their creator, they paint an elusive picture. In the chorus of one song, Smith sings over and over, "Everything means nothing to me, everything means nothing to me."
"The songs don't have a real point," he says. "And if there's a story-like aspect, it's usually kind of fragmented and it's not fully complete in writing."
L.A., beyond the cartoon
Another Smith contradiction is his recent relocation. As he proved at the Oscars a few years back, he's anything but Hollywood.
So why did he move to L.A.?
"I never really considered living in L.A. because everybody's got that cartoon of it, you know?" he says. "So that seemed like a good reason to check it out. 'Let's get the cartoon out of the way and see what it's really like there.'
"It's pretty much like any other place," he said. "I don't go into Hollywood very much. I don't go to places where people network and talk about their careers all the time. By and large, famous people make me a little edgy."
Another reason for Smith not to own a gun.
Smith didn't buy that pickup, either. Needing transportation for California freeways, he settled on a black Volkswagen Passat -- a model of stability that really isn't representative of a poetic, enigmatic singer-songwriter. Or is it?
"I figured if I was going to buy a car, I just wanted to do it one time," he says. "So I didn't try to get a cool-looking car or a fancy-looking car."
But like many things in his life, the car-buying process reminded Smith of who he is, and isn't. And like always, he found a way to work around the perceptions.
"It's a drag buying a car," he says. "Sometimes you'll find somebody who's nice. But oftentimes, they judge people by how they look. I'd have to chase somebody down just to get them to talk to me at all. I wound up buying the car through an auto broker, because unless you look a certain way, you can't walk in and get any attention."
Smith, singer-songwriter, has never been one to do something for attention.

When I first saw the phrase "Ok, boomer!" pop up on the Positive Deep Adaptation Facebook group, I admit I was offended. I felt like I was being blamed for something I didn't do, and that my entire life experience was being dismissed with a snarky epithet.
As a moderator of the group, I concluded that to call someone a "boomer" like that was an insult, and thus forbidden by the rules. I ended comments on the thread, and muted the writer for a day. (Spoiler: That didn't solve the problem!)
It was Ben Zolno who contacted me privately to say he was leaving the group, with this message:
"No one is putting responsibility on a single age cohort. That's your emotions fogging you. The post was saying that kids see a huge portion of it is on the boomer generation. That's just factually true. And they're in pain, and the response of this group was, 'Shut up, you're hurting my ears,' and it was rewarded."
My eyes were opened! "Ok, boomer" is not rational statement (or not only so), it is an emotional expression. The question is not: How can we older people justify our actions in the face of sarcastic criticism? The question is: How can we, as compassionate elders, respond with empathy to this expression of pain and suffering from our younger kindred spirits?
I felt the need to learn more about how younger people actually think and feel about the catastrophe we face, and about how the Deep Adaptation group is handling it. This interview with Ben Zolno and his partner Alina Huff is my first attempt to begin that conversation.
(Further spoiler: Ben rejoined the group!)
If you have something to say about "Ok, boomer" and the generational divide – especially if you are a younger person – please contact me by email.

is a big investment, especially for large-scale projects like parking lots. It's important to choose an asphalt contractor that can get the job done right.
Improperly installed asphalt can develop cracks or potholes more easily, leading to increased expenses for you in a shorter amount of time. Here are three steps to take to ensure that you find the right asphalt contractor for your next project.
It's important to do your research before choosing an asphalt contractor. Start by searching for asphalt contractors in your area and reading any reviews they might have. Don't just read what's on Google: visit the company's social media pages to see what local customers have to say.
The star rating is important, but other criteria to consider include the asphalt company's response time and how they deal with negative reviews. It's important to remember that the occasional negative review is inevitable no matter the business. It's how the company resolves customer complaints that really shows its character.
Keep in mind that not every customer leaves a review. If you only consider the reviews, you won't be getting the full picture of what an asphalt company has to offer.
Don't be afraid to ask for the information you need to know! professional asphalt contractors are always happy to answer your questions, even if you ultimately end up choosing not to work with our asphalt company.is a big investment, and a company's website can only tell you so much about what they do and how they do it. Our
If an asphalt company is uncertain with its responses or outright refuses to answer, those are major red flags. Don't hire a contractor until you have all the information you need.
If an asphalt company has experience in your area, you should be able to ask them for a list of local references that you can contact. Ask their references about the quality of the asphalt company's performance, the demeanor of their employees, and the price in relation to the services that were completed. These references will be able to give you a much more candid idea of the company's work than online reviews alone.
Our Grand Rapids, MI asphalt contractors are ready to help you transform your damaged driveway or parking lot. To request a free estimate for asphalt pavement or pothole repair, call A-1 Asphalt Inc. at (800) 871-4401.

I found the chunks to be chunks not gross, the aroma was good, and the overall appearance was wonderful. Not mushy. I found the mix of rice,veggies and lamb to be a good combo of flavors as my dogs don't eat beef and dislike chicken. Their coats are glossier and there is a spring in the step of my 2 oldest ones. they eat all of it.
Our wonderful dog eats PurinaONE Lamb & Rice dry dog food on a regular basis. As a treat we started giving him a bit of wet food every now and then. He can't stop himself from cleaning his bowl!
My dogs love this food! They can't wait to be fed every morning and night.
I feel my dogs are being fed a well balanced, nutritious blend of all the elements necessary for the proper growth and development of my dogs And they love the taste!
We have a large dog who is 15 years old, and in kidney failure. We have tried every thing under the sun to feed her and this is all she will eat. She loves it. Thank you for making her final days happy.
I received a free can of Purina One Smartblend dog food. First of all, my dog loved it. But mostly, I loved the great ingredients and antioxidants compared to my old brand. Thank you, Purina, for making a product that is good for my dog.
I received coupons to try this product for free. My dog loved this food! She gobbled it right up! I loved how it actually looks like real food, not some processed junk. In my opinion, this dog food delivers on what it advertises and I plan on feeding to my boxer on a regular basis!
My dog Dixie really enjoyed this food. As soon as I opened the can she got super excited from just the smell. Good brand made from good things and dogs actually enjoy!
I have a 7 year old Chiweenie named Jax. He is extremely picky. We have bought him expensive brands and we have bought him cheaper brands, just to try to find something he likes and will eat, more than once. We got this particular kind because he does like lamb flavored treats. I opened the can the day I got it and noticed he seemed very interested in it. And that is ALWAYS a plus, with him! I gave him about 1/3 of the can and he ate every single bite of it and wanted more! I waited until that night for dinner and gave him the rest of it, and again he cleaned his bowl! I was so impressed Ive already went out and bought 6 more cans for him! Thank you purina!
I have a German shepherd and she is part of the family. She has gotten spoiled and used to human food and refuses to eat dog food. I wanted to try this food with her while the family sat down for supper since usually she is waiting anxiously for any leftovers. I fixed her bowl and placed it where I could see her as I ate my supper and she ate it all including I mixed in some dry dog food. She didn't even beg for our food and we all are peacefully. She loved it and we have begun feeding her this in small amounts every other day in the hopes to fully switch her to dog food again.

John S. Peterson Honored To Be Part Of Attorney Study Published In How Leading Lawyers Think
Irvine eminent domain attorney John S. Peterson is the founder of the Peterson Law Group, P.C., a prominent Southern California law firm that handles a wide range of issues related to property rights of individuals and businesses, and is included in a study published in the book How Leading Lawyers Think, which is being sold and read worldwide.
What Is Inverse Condemnation?
Property laws can be very complicated considering the government's right, and potentially skewed interpretation, of eminent domain. One aspect of eminent domain law is condemnation and inverse condemnation. Condemnation is the official method the government uses in order to change title of a property from the owner to itself. In essence, the government is filing suit for your property, and offering you compensation for it, though it is often less than it should be.
John Peterson Files Suit On Behalf Of Elks Against City Hall For Stealing Grave Sites
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, founded in 1868, is a fraternal order represented throughout the United States. According to the Santa Monica Daily Press, a local order of the Elks has filed suit against City Hall, alleging that burial spaces reserved for its brethren in Woodlawn Cemetery were sold to the public.
Understanding The Basics Of California Eminent Domain Law
In short, eminent domain law gives the state the legal right to seize a person's or business' private or real property for public use. Although the property owner will be financially compensated, the government does not require the property owner's permission to seize their property. The formal act of transferring title of the property from the private owner to the government is referred to as condemnation.

John S. Peterson, selected for inclusion to California Super Lawyers® for both 2011 and 2012, and his Los Angeles law firm, the Peterson Law Group, P.C., were featured in Super Lawyers magazine for 2012 in recognition for his work in complex real estate and business cases involving eminent domain, inverse condemnation, and other related issues.

The message of the cross
Paul begins by telling us about the message of the cross - but to any contemporary of Paul living anywhere in the Roman and Greek world the "message of the cross" would have been as clear as day :"Don't mess with Rome."
Used to punish political agitators, pirates, slaves, reserved for those with no civil rights it was the most shameful and disgraceful way to die. It was deliberately public and ignominious you were named with a wooden notice and there were at times rows and rows of crosses - most famously following the slave revolt which was led by Spartacus in 73 B.C. After the Roman army subdued that insurrection they crucified more than 6000 slaves and lined the Appian Way the main strategic road into Rome for 130 miles with their bodies. There was nothing ambivalent or difficult to understand about this punishment which was used by the Persians, Carthaginians Macedonians, and Alexander the great for enemies of the state. The image of the cross was crystal clear.
Paul, so dramatically converted on the road to Damascus has now come to preach to overturn all this, to say NO, this crucifixion was totally different, none of this applies, this, the crucifixion of Jesus is not what you think and it has the power to transform everything. In this letter to the church at Corinth Paul anticipates the arguments of the coming millenia and those of our own age. Worldly people will marshall the instruments of logic, science, rhetoric and insult to argue against the resurrection and Jesus' identity -Oh yes they say I am sure that he was a good man but all the same, surely ….
Ben the chaplain at Maisons Lafitte came years ago to dinner and at the time we lived in an open plan house with the bookcases lined around a mezzanine surrounding the dining room - Looking upwards between courses Ben said "Why have you so many books - you only need the one!" Now I have not yet come to entirely agree with him on that but I do agree that being saved is not a question of knowledge. Paul paraphrasing Isaiah reminds us "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart." Where is the one who is wise, where is the scribe, where is the debater of this age? Winning the arguments using the all the philosophic brilliance of a Plato or a Socrates so beloved by the Greeks will not save you.
As for his own people, the Jews he criticises them for always demanding signs - as recently as the mid 1500's at the festival of Hanukkah a small dark man, his bony frame taut from habitual fasting fetched up in Venice proclaiming himself to be David, son of king Solomon and an ambassador from the lost tribes of Israel - he got a long way, with his imposture including having an audience with the Pope - but looking for signs will not save you.
Yes a man upon a cross, hanging and helpless, looks foolish and weak not wise and strong but God upon a cross is another thing entirely. In the hospice on Friday a young lady just eighteen held my hand and asked me "Will I go to heaven?"
And in her question is the answer - for as Paul says "God decided to save those who believe." That is what we have to do, to believe that God's son hung on a cross to save us - to save us all, the eloquent, the tongue tied, the professor, the expelled from school, the rich, the poor, the slave, the freeman, all these and more - and we need nothing do but truly and with all our hearts believe.
