Life is full of surprises. The paths to insight, knowledge and truth are also full
of surprises. The authors of this book come together by remarkable circumstances.
These two authors belong to two distant generations. They live also at two distant
...................This book does not intend to describe our past, does not intend
to add just another story to the lot, as modern historians do. It simply puts facts
coherently together that are based on primary documentary sources. It is a report
of a rigorous scrutiny of secondary sources. It puts scholars and their scholarly
deliberations to the test of validity collating with the primary documents.
Max Muller is a demigod in India. The Federal Republic of Germany uses Max Muller
for its propaganda not only in all cultural matters in India. All over the world
the Federal Republic of Germany call their propaganda institution "Goethe-Institutes".
In India they call it Max-Mueller-Bhavan.
The intention of this manoeuvre is obvious. Young Indians should believe that in
Max-Mueller-Bhavans the spirit of Max Muller prevails. It is like coming home. It
is the Bhavan (residence) of Max Muller. He is not an Indian. He is more than an
Indian. He has been propagated as a real friend of India and of Indians. He has
saved the ancient Indian Culture, its vast literature in a no more spoken language
called Sanskrit. He is much more than the Rishis, the seer-scientists of Bharatavarsa.
So it is systematically propagated. This story is utter swindle and shameless as
well. Yet this story has been accepted by the Republic of India. How long will this
acceptance prevail?

Wisdom is most often found in spirit guides or totems, who can be animals, ancestors, or spirits. Pagans who follow this path tend to be far more aware of the delicate web that interweaves the lives of every person and thus move within that web accordingly. They're usually deeply insightful, friendly, loving people and excellent friends and parents. Mysterious and strong, as well, they are often the protectors of their friends and family as well as the moral compass for their friends and loved ones.

Our Family Staycation
I've said it before, family vacations are important! And if you can't getaway somewhere a great alternative is to have a staycation. A staycation is where you do things in your community or things that are near you. We did one this summer, and well, it didn't go quite according to plan, but it was still fun. The girls LOVED having their Daddy home for a whole week! And honestly, it didn't matter if we went somewhere they were seriously happy to get some quality time in with him and us.
We had plan on an activity each day with the kiddos. We planned it the week of Labor Day. I'll share below our ideas for our staycation. But first, like I mentioned our plans didn't all happen; our oldest got Strep on the second day. Our youngest followed a day later, and then my hubby and I both got it two days later. We've never had Strep before, so this was all new to us. We were bummed that we didn't get all of our activities in, BUT so thankful that my hubby was off so we could rest! We also added in a trip to the library for something to do.
We kicked off our staycation with a trip to Aikman's Wildlife Adventure about 40 minutes away from us. This was the one activity we were able to do as originally planned. This place is amazing and so fun for the kiddos. We took a wagon ride to feed animals such as: camels, zebras, buffalo, deer, llama's, horses, and cows. We also did the walk through where you could pet goats, llamas, and a few other animals as well as feed them. Inside there were some amphibian animals the girls saw (I skipped the snakes – I can't even look because I freak out! lol). It was a fun afternoon for the girls because they love animals. We also got a free checklist and map that our four year old is obsessed with! We talked for weeks about all the animals we saw and what was their favorites.
On Tuesday we were supposed to take them up to Chicago for the Shedd Aquarium. If you are a resident of Illinois, the month of September (after Labor Day) is usually free admissions. Seeing as a family of 4 can add up, we jumped at the chance to visit and stay under budget! However, that was the day we found out our oldest had Strep so that didn't happen. We did eventually make it on the very last day (Sunday). Of course the girls LOVED it as well. They loved looking at all the different fish and absolutely loved the dolphin show! They also liked the kiddie play area for a little break, as well as the pizza!
On Wednesday we were supposed to visit my hubby's grandparent's farm about 30 minutes from us. On Thursday we were going to go to the children's museum and get Chick-Fil-A (a family favorite) that is an hour away from us. On Friday we had planned on taking them to a pumpkin patch about an hour away. On Saturday we were going to visit my 91 year old grandma then go to a park with a pond and feed the ducks as well as have a family picnic. Sunday was going to be our usual – church and lunch with our almost 90 year old Oma (but as mentioned we decided to do ONE fun thing after getting over Strep!) However, all these things didn't happen because at least one of us was contagious on each of these days!
It didn't turn out the way we (let's be real me LOL) had planned, but it worked out in the end. Would I have rather not been sick or had sick kiddos; of course! But I look at the positive of everyone being home in their pjs resting and enjoying each other. Sometimes those lazy and relaxing days turn out to the best days. And another positive, we didn't tell the kids what we were planning each day, so they didn't know what they missed out on! (I live by this!!! So many things happen that I wait to tell our kiddos until the day before !!!)
Have you ever done a staycation? As you can tell I chose things within a couple of hours away that we could enjoy. A lot of times people forget about the fun places near. So it's fun to play tourists in your own area sometimes. You don't have to spend money on hotels or Airbnb's, and often if you live in the state there are deals you can find (like the Shedd!). I'd love to hear some of your staycations or ideas for them in the comments below!
Much love,
Chef Charley

When lockdown began, I stress-baked like crazy. I normally love the blueberry muffins from Dunkin' Donuts (or now just Dunkin), and I still could have gotten them to go. Where I live, many restaurants still offered take-out, delivery, or curbside pickup.
Anyway, I tried making these muffins using a kopykat recipe from the Internet. It called for a special Dunkin creamer. But I didn't have that.
So, I used either half and half, heavy cream, or both. Whatever I did, it made the muffins super-moist and delicious. I had learned that the more fat content a dairy product contains, the softer it makes the baked good.
I also used a mix of frozen wild blueberries as well as fresh blueberries. I even included some fresh raspberries and blackberries. Mixed berry muffins rule!
That was technically what they were. But there were more blueberries than raspberries and blackberries. So, I guess they could have still been called blueberry muffins.
I ate them like crazy. That's right, they tasted that delicious. I probably will remake these muffins again, regardless of when restaurants in my area reopen their dining sections.
Since making these muffins, I've sometimes been swapping out water or whole milk with half and half and heavy cream with other recipes. You could try that, too.

Women and Perceptions – Accelerate, Don't Hesitate!
Following is an excerpt and the highlights of a paper recently published reporting on a research study we conducted exploring how perceptions impact the way women interact and contribute in their professional activities. The complete paper is here.
Many successful women leverage the power of perception, earning opportunities to achieve greater success because they manage how they present themselves and emphasize their "natural" strengths to build a strong personal brand. A strong personal brand is one of the important factors that separates high performing, highly successful women from those who have similar talent and experience. So why do women with similar talent have strong personal brands, while others do not?
An important part of the answer is that rather than hesitate, being concerned about how others may perceive them, successful women accelerate, consciously creating and proactively managing perceptions that accurately reflect their authentic selves and create their true, strong personal brand. In short, they find that being more of who they are will help them succeed.
Use the Power of Perceptions to Your Advantage
By contrast there is a large segment of women whose sensitivities to perceptions causes them pause and change the way they participate and contribute with others. There is even a portion of women who feel they are "held prisoner" to the perceptions held by others and hesitate or withhold from participating in meetings. If you, however, are a woman who might hesitate to take action because of how you think others perceive you this article will provide you with the encouragement and tools to use the positive power of perceptions to be more of who you and get more credit for your contributions.
As a woman, you have to manage two layers of perceptions to propel your success. One is the overall "brand of women" while the other is how others perceive your individual strengths and weaknesses. Savvy, high-achieving women know how to leverage the positive perceptions of both layers. They understand how to capitalize on the strengths of being a woman while reframing the negative misconceptions they often face. In turn, they also pay attention to how others see them as individuals. Combined, by managing these two layers, savvy high-achieving women can build a personal brand that highlights their individual talents – leveraging the power of brand synergy. You can too, when you know how to use perceptions to your benefit.
Here are some of the highlights from the research study. The following statistics refer to the number of women what "strongly agreed" or "agreed" to the statement.
More than 50% of women agreed "Sometimes I feel that some women dismiss other women and their ideas but if a man says the same thing, then the idea or thought is accepted or recognized by the women as making a contribution."
Nearly 60 percent agreed with the statement "Sometimes I am too self-critical which causes me to second guess myself and hold back with my comments or actions and this limits my ability to make a contribution."
More than 70 percent agreed with the statement "Sometimes I feel like women are more competitive with other women than they are with men."
55% agreed with the statement "Sometimes I am overly concerned about how someone perceives me that I spend too much time focused on 'why does he/she perceive me that way' versus 'what am I doing that is creating that perception."
Over 60 percent agreed with the statement "As a woman I am a natural caretaker and sometimes I am too concerned about others feelings and therefore I may change what I say or how I act with certain people."
The study's important finding is that a sizeable segment of women hesitate to act or contribute in groups because of their preoccupation with how they are perceived or how they might be perceived.
In the article Women and Perceptions, Accelerate, Don't Hesitate you can learn how to become more effective by leveraging the positive power of perceptions. Click on image below to download the article. Perceptions are reality, but they don't have to be obstacles to success. Avoid hesitating and acting hamstrung by a feeling of being a prisoner of perceptions, accelerate by using your authentic qualities to make a difference every chance you get!

The UN agency expressed it's "disappointment" with the group's actions. Wow, the UN sure was harsh in their condemnation of hamas; they're disappointed with the actions of a terrorist group. Because the trucks have that powder blue insignia on the side do they believe they're immune, will it keep them safe?
Last week president Obama released 21.3 million dollars in emergency funds to the UN agency. UNRWA was set up 60 years ago to take care of the permanent palestinian refugees created when the state of Israel was born. For 60 years and a new generation, the UN has adopted those who choose to live on the global welfare system. Their host countries believe, someday, Israel will cease to exist and those confined to fenced camps will return to their homes. It's been 60 years, and Israel made the desert bloom while hated and revenge fester in these camps.
CAIR was among those thanking the administration and 63 members of congress for addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Recently I was contacted by Chris Laird on behalf of Mavis and Louis Fenelon who own the Logan launch Matareka II (46 years) The Fenelon's rescued and rebuilt the cabin and interior some years ago.
Due to advancing years & the requirement for some structural repairs beyond their capabilities, they have reluctantly decided to find a good home for Matareka.
Matareka is an iconic classic vessel, I have looked over her personally while hauled out in 2014 & I can vouch for her build quality & presentation. She is an absolutely superb launch, built with safety in mind. A Logan, so say no more.
The Fenelon's are passionate woody owners & do not want to see Matareka II lost.
Any buyer needs to demonstrate that they have the resources / ability to undertake the work and return Matareka II to the lovely vessel that the Fenelons created.
They are very negotiable on price and want the boat to go to a good home. Anyone interested can contact Chris in the first instance (email address below) & he will put them in touch with Mavis and Louis. firstname.lastname@example.com
NOTE: there is an estimate of $20K for the commercial repair of the hull issues, given the overall condition of the vessel & her provenance, this is not an excess figure. Someone with the skills could reduce this figure substantially
Further reading:
During 2014 we began a major refurbishment of Matareka, which cost $25,000. She had a complete and thorough repainting – antifouling, and all surfaces above the water-line. Complete interior painting and varnishing. Re-sealing of windows etc. where required. New water piping (input and distribution pipes) for the two 55 gal stainless steel water tanks. Servicing of water taps. Replacement of old winch with fully automatic anchor winch. New Supreme anchor. Replacement of anchor rope with 60 metres of 3/8ths anchor chain. New teak bowsprit and bow roller. Cleaning and re-painting of underside of engine gear box. Four x 6 volt new engine batteries (arranged in two banks).
After all this work, on her third run in January 2015, we had the incident at the Ngapipi Road Bridge and she was repaired under Insurance during 2015. We also decided, at our expense, to completely repaint the hull again – both white and anti-fouling.
Her inventory also includes the following:
• A 371 Detroit diesel 90HP engine complete with a hydraulic 3:1 Allison forward/reverse gear box (replacement cost $25,000-00, though Detroit agent has said our engine will go forever).
• Large (original) bronze rudder.
• 1 ¾ inch dia. bronze prop shaft driving a 26 inch X 32 inch bronze propeller
• Hydraulically operated steering from a (unique) five spoke ship's steering wheel
• Auxiliary emergency steel hand tiller
• Heavy duty towing bollard (so far used only for towing dinghy)
• 12 volt high capacity bilge pump
• 2 x 75 gal black steel diesel tanks
• All main cabin glazing is ¼ inch toughened glass
• Canvas double-zipped cock-pit cover
• Head with s.s. basin and chemical toilet
• 6 bunk x Dunlop sponge rubber Dralon-covered squabs in very good condition.

The Game of "Life," Modern Version
A lot of people I know have Netflix accounts. I have no objection to the concept- after all, premium cable is still pretty expensive, and Video Rental Stores are becoming a relic of the past. I can see not wanting to stick your credit card into one of those Red Box deals outside of the local Seven-Eleven, too. Nope, I have no problem with Netflix.
But this- this is just wrong. In our first featured advertisement, Glassy-eyed mushrooms disguised as people whine about "never being able to afford all the games" they want, who are now so damn fulfilled because of something called GameFly.com, which allows one to rent all the video games one can waste one's life playing for one low monthly fee. Lovely. Because really, who could ever get enough quality time with their freaking television sets- and that couch isn't going to sit on itself!
And I love the "I just saved seventy bucks!" line--hmm, interesting economics there, buddy. You waste a certain amount of money on a pointless, life-sucking toy, and you congratulate yourself because you COULD have wasted a LOT more. I'll remember that logic the next time I have only ONE flat tire. As it's being changed, I'll happily calculate what I'm going to do with the money I "saved" because the other three weren't damaged.
The second ad is, if possible, even worse. Now the "adults" have joined in on endorsing this disgusting, brain-numbing waste of time, waxing poetic about how awesome it is that now all their children can play all the games they want and stop bothering them to be taken to the park, or to play catch in the back yard, or for pretty much anything except another helping of Stove Top Stuffing (come on- you just KNOW these people eat Stove Top Stuffing. And Wonder Bread.) GameFly is "perfect for our family..."-- well, yeah, because you aren't really a family, just a group of genetically connected, upright (when necessary) mammals who happen to live in the same house and really wish GameFly had been invented years ago.
Yep, GameFly should keep the kiddies distracted, giving mom and dad time to update their Facebook pages and surf for porn on the suddenly-available family computer. Sounds like "real family" fun to me.
Well, we've come a long way since Parker Brothers' "Family Board Game Night," haven't we? I sure feel dumb- a few weeks ago, I spent a good deal of my spring break playing Gin rummy with my mom. She's got a Netflix account, but not GameFly- which makes her less lame than I am, but still way below these people, who are having such an awesome time (and saving money!) staring at the Idiot Box as life goes on around them (somewhere.)
It's a sad world, and it's getting sadder. For only a small monthly fee.

If these people were to die sitting in front of their devices, how long do you suppose it would take for people to notice?ReplyDelete
And we continue to wonder why there is an obesity epidemic in this country.ReplyDelete
"Gamefly is awesome because now we don't have to medicate Junior to put up with him. We give him free access to ordering these games and we hear nary a peep out of him. There was a scary moment last month, during some storms, when the power went out- but the hubby bought a generator and now we never have to put up with our demon spawn!"ReplyDelete
Excellent as usual, Pahz.ReplyDelete
Dont you feel that it is hypocritical that you sit in front of a tv for 2 hours and watch a movie doing nothing but you dont find that wrong.But you find it wrong when people sit on their couch playing video games for 2 hours doing nothing.ReplyDelete
David- my parents are in their eighties, so I don't begrudge them their tv time. If I had Netflix and spent two hours a day watching movies, yes, I would consider myself a hypocrite for bashing people who play video games. But only a little- because I think playing video games when you are over 16 or so is a much bigger waste of time than watching movies. I wish the parents in these commercials weren't so enthusiastic about ANYTHING that encouraged their kids to be couch potatoes instead of active family members.ReplyDelete
I think they are payed to be so enthusiastic. And also I dont even know any parents that even know how to play any video games. And anyone playing video games instead of doing something like getting a job. Or going to college I agree is bad. But when you have nothing. To do and you have time to do whatever you want then I think people should be able to be free to do what they want.ReplyDelete

"I think playing video games when you are over 16 or so is a much bigger waste of time than watching movies."ReplyDelete
Well then, you're an idiot.
Actually, it's called having an opinion which differs from yours, rogue. You might learn to get used to it before you venture out of the house.ReplyDelete

Richly detailed biography of movie pioneer D.W. Griffith; D.W. Griffith: An American Life, by Richard Schickel. New York: Simon & Schuster. 672 pp. $24.95.
Everyone agrees that D.W. Griffith was the first great genius of the movies. But not many geniuses have needed so many excuses and apologies to prop up their reputations.
His gift for cinema can't be questioned. From the moment he joined the film world in 1908, after failing to make his name on the stage, he found it natural to think in terms of imagery and editing. He jotted the scenario of his first picture under five headings: ''heart, interest, drama, danger, comedy, rescue'' - the movies in a nutshell! What remained was to tinker with the technology of the new medium - inventing its vocabulary, refining its possibilities, and wowing the public in the process.
Unfortunately, most of his talent and insight came to a screeching halt in other areas of experience. Though he was far more than a technician, Griffith was never quite an artist in the fullest sense of the word. He was too self-absorbed, too limited in his outlook. And his movies all suffered from this , as Richard Schickel's exhaustive biography shows.
Exhibit A is the first Griffith blockbuster, the 1915 ''Birth of a Nation.'' The family scenes are sweet; the Civil War episodes are thrilling; the filmmaking is revolutionary - but it all leads to an appalling climax, wherein the Ku Klux Klan delivers the helpless, downtrodden South from the clutches of stupid, lascivious blacks.
And if this weren't bad enough in itself, Griffith never got the point of the outraged protests (often led by the NAACP) against the picture. Years later he still ranted that ''Birth'' corrected ''unfair and prejudiced'' histories pushed by Northerners. Even in his withdrawn, grumbling old age, it never dawned on the Kentucky-born director that his critics might have been onto something. How strange for a man who prided himself on his artistic sensibility and knack for capturing wide audiences.
Nor was the ''Birth'' debacle an isolated event. Griffith's life was full of odd gaps between thought and behavior, idea and achievement. Though he blazed the trails of a new art, his own cultural life was backward-looking, stuck on Victorian attitudes and sentiments. Though he idealized women, his two marriages ended unhappily, and his romances revolved obsessively around teen-age girls.
He saw filmmaking as the delicate ''science of photographing thought,'' yet coached performers into such twitchy, exaggerated acting that an early review complained of his ''bounding'' heroines. Realism was one of his strong points, yet, as Schickel notes, it wasn't ''poetic'' or ''spectacular'' enough to suit his ambition. He was a cool professional, yet he spent years vainly trying to make a superstar of Carol Dempster, partly because he identified with her looks. ''You don't know what it is to have a big nose,'' the great director whined to Lillian Gish.
A seasoned author and Time magazine film critic, Schickel explores such conundrums with intelligence and sympathy. Along the way he chronicles the early history of American cinema, from one-reelers (Griffith directed a new picture every two days for the Biograph studio) through talkies.
He also links Griffith's story with a critical evaluation of his films. This is a tricky job, since modern appraisals of these flawed masterpieces are fogged by everything from the passage of time to a general apathy about silent movies among younger critics. Schickel's thoughtful views are especially useful since (as he notes) some ''received opinions'' now current can be traced to newspaper reviews published decades ago and never questioned since.
To most moviegoers who stumble on them today, Griffith's works look funny, like quaint museum pieces. Yet many contain images, gestures, feats of bravura filmmaking, and moments of quiet humanity that still have power to charm and touch. And their influence has been profound, affecting everyone from a European filmmaker like Werner Herzog - who told me Griffith was ''the Shakespeare of the cinema'' - to an American pundit like Pauline Kael, who once pronounced the wildly uneven ''Intolerance'' to be ''the greatest movie ever made.''
In his richly detailed though sometimes carelessly written book, Schickel puts the movies and their maker into fresh perspective, without sensationalizing or touching up either subject. It's a major contribution to film history and criticism alike.

Reading Time: 5 Minutes
Jesus breaks the mold
John 7.14-18 – About the middle of the festival Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach. 15 The Jews were astonished at it, saying, "How does this man have such learning, when he has never been taught?"
16 Then Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine but his who sent me. 17 Anyone who resolves to do the will of God will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own. 18 Those who speak on their own seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him."
The leadership mold, both then and now, involves graduation from an accredited institution of higher learning. Jesus' schooling involved an apprenticeship in a carpentry shop, so people assumed.
Jesus had a pure and powerful message, because he did not seek his own glory. Please note, "glory" is not the glory dance a football player does after a touchdown. "Glory" is literally the uncovering of the nature of God.
Jesus was sent to reveal God's essential character. He had no desire to reveal anything separate from the character of his Father in heaven. What he showed was God's great love for humankind. Because of this, Jesus' picture of God is absolutely true.
If you have any issues in life concerning who God is and what his purposes are, look to Jesus. Jesus came to explain and to reveal God (John 1.18).
When we choose to do God's will, it opens the door of our understanding. This choice, plus a study of Jesus' life, is absolutely essential to knowing and understanding the will of God.
Another argument with a purpose
John 7.19-24 – "Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why are you looking for an opportunity to kill me?"
20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon! Who is trying to kill you?"
21 Jesus answered them, "I performed one work, and all of you are astonished. 22 Moses gave you circumcision (it is, of course, not from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath in order that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I healed a man's whole body on the sabbath? 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
When I have taught this passage in the past, I attempted to convey the problem Jesus faced with healing on the sabbath with the following illustration. Suppose I preach a powerful and insightful sermon, but follow it by going outside the church building and burning the American flag. What kind of response would I get?
The sabbath was more sacred to Jewish people of Jesus' day than the American flag is to us today. People couldn't hear Jesus words or accept his message, because they were so offended by his healing on the sabbath (see John 5 for the event of healing on the sabbath).
The key to not being tripped up by our conventional beliefs is found in verse 24. "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment." If we "resolve to do the will of God" (verse 17), the Spirit will lead us to see deeply into Jesus' actions today. The Spirit will guide us to evaluate what God is doing today.
Your Turn
Everywhere we turn, corona virus is the discussion. What is God up to with this disease that is sweeping the world? In the midst of the difficulties this virus is causing, we can resolve to do God's will and we can attempt to understand the world through God's eyes.
The people of God can align our lives with God's will and pray for God's will to be done on the earth just as it is in heaven. Our prayers open the door for God's activity on earth (Revelation 3.20) during troubling and confusing times.
Today's Prayer
Dear God, today I resolve to do your will. I also resolve to be open to what you are doing, asking that you remove from my thinking preconceived ideas of what you should do. My third resolution is to pray each day for the world, aligning my will with your plans and purposes.

Americans spend big on booze, beef on July 4
Americans will spend lots of green to celebrate the red, white and blue.
This July 4, holiday revelers are expected to dole out $7.1 billion for food for Independence Day barbeques and picnics, up from $6.8 billion in 2016, the National Retail Federation has forecasted.
U.S. meat consumption is on the rise year-round, but beef enthusiasts certainly live it up on July 4, the apex of the grilling season.
Last year, Americans bought close to $804 million worth of beef in the two weeks around the holiday, according to Nielsen, which tracks consumer data. They also purchased more than $371 million worth of chicken and more than $217 million worth of pork.
And what goes well with something yummy off the grill? Alcohol.
July 4 celebrants spent more than $1 billion on beer and an estimated $568 million on wine in 2016, the financial Web site WalletHub found.
Rounding out a nice holiday barbeque are some fireworks. in 2016, those displays cost $800-plus million, according to WalletHub.
Also add items like America- or flag-themed clothes or decorations to the Independence Day tab. The National Retail Federation survey found that 28% of people plan to buy some patriotic merchandise.
Another big July 4 expense is travel. An estimated 44 million Americans are expected to travel more than 50 miles from home for the holiday, up from 43 million in 2016, WalletHub said. Eight-four percent plan to drive.
Magda Srodek loves to spend big for July 4. This year, the 34-year-old grocery store manager is hosting a cookout and amateur fireworks show for 10 at her cabin in West Branch, Mich., a 2.5-hour drive from her home in suburban Detroit. The menu includes Polish and smoked sausages, chicken, corn on the cob, grilled asparagus and potatoes, beer, hard cider and vodka.
Srodek estimated paying $150-$200 for the food and $100 for the booze. The fireworks were another $250. She also treated herself to a red, white and blue striped bikini for $50.
"When you work so hard every single day and you get a nice couple days to get away, there's nothing better than to spend it with friends and family," she said. "We believe in the American dream and celebrating."

What Are the Three Functions of the Circulatory System?
The three functions of the circulatory system include maintaining normal body temperature, helping the body fight disease and providing the ideal chemical balance for homeostasis. The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, veins and blood.
The organs and vessels in the circulatory system regulate the flow of blood, oxygen and other gases, hormones and nutrients to and from cells. Three types of circulation occur in the body. In pulmonary circulation, oxygen-depleted blood moves from the heart to the lungs, while oxygenated blood moves from the lungs to the heart.
Systemic circulation moves oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, and coronary circulation ensures that the heart has adequate blood to work properly. This ensures that waste is carried away and that the body maintains a stable internal environment.

C-nail in world medical press
Foot & Ankle International
In April 2016, the American magazine Foot & Ankle International published the results of an independent testing of two different systems of treating calcaneal fractures. Three systems of nailing of the calcaneus were compared.– C-NAIL from the MEDIN company, Calcanail of the French company FH Orthopedics SAS and the RIMBUS plates with polyaxial locking of the nails from the German company INTERCUS GmbH. The testing took was carried out on 21 calcaneal fractures and showed that C-NAIL is the most suitable system for calcaneal osteosynthesis.
C-nail in world medical press
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma A great achievement is the publication of an article about C-NAIL. At the beginning of the year 2016. In the American impacted Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma. It features a case study called "Introduction of a new locking nail for treatment of intraarticular calcaneal fractures", carried out in most part by M. Pompach and H. Zwipp. The study was carried out on 103 patients with 106 calcaneal fractures altogether. With the intention of reducing complications related to calcaneal fractures by using the C-NAIL nail. The conclusion of the text is the establishment of the fact, that the goal of the study was reached and C-NAIL.

Natick school board reaffirms anti-alcohol policy
NATICK – The School Committee has reaffirmed its policy to prohibit alcohol from being served at events held at schools and said it will not waive the policy.
The committee on Monday approved the recommendation of a subcommittee that examined the policy after groups sought to hold events geared to adults at the high school where alcohol would be served.
The School Committee waived its policy last year for the Relay for Life Fashion Show and Wall of Achievement events. But selectmen voted not to issue one-day beer and wine licenses for the events, with some members saying schools were not appropriate places to serve alcohol.
A School Committee subcommittee then evaluated the committee's policy, recommending it remain the same and that the district say in rental documentation that the committee will not entertain requests to waive the policy.
School Committee Chairman Dirk Coburn said the committee when it considered waivers asked lots of questions and was careful to ensure safeguards were in place. But he said members realize the committee is not the only board that has a say on this topic.
"We just thought it was best not to hold out hope to renters that they might (be able to serve alcohol)," Coburn said.
Coburn said he thinks there might be a place for an event that responsibly serves alcohol, but that's not central to the district's mission.
"Obviously, nobody supports wild indiscriminate use of alcohol on school property," he said.
Paul Laurent and Amy Mistrot voted against the motion while Anne Blanchard was not at the meeting.
Mistrot said she respects selectmen's view. However, she said the high school was built as a resource for the entire town to use and there could be some flexibility in the policy. She said holding events with alcohol at schools is an opportunity to demonstrate responsible alcohol use. Guidelines administration had in place were stringent and Aramark, the only catering company that could provide the service, has even more stringent rules, she said.
Selectmen Chairwoman Carol Gloff said she is glad the School Committee reviewed its policies and decided not to allow waivers.
"From my personal perspective I think that's an appropriate way to go," she said.

Imaging Technique Finds Key Neurons in Brain Interact, May Support More Targeted Treatments
Two key types of brain nerves cells affected by Parkinson's disease — cholinergic neurons and dopaminergic neurons — communicate and interact via signaling systems, researchers were able to "see" using a new imaging approach.
This beneficial neuron-to-neuron interaction, confirmed through the novel approach in a rat model of the disease, also supported further work on targeted treatments for Parkinson's, including a potential gene therapy.
Their study, "DREADD Activation of Pedunculopontine Cholinergic Neurons Reverses Motor Deficits and Restores Striatal Dopamine Signaling in Parkinsonian Rats," was published in Neurotherapeutics.
Parkinson's is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, meaning that it steadily worsens as neurons die over time. One of its hallmarks is the loss of dopamine — a neurotransmitter crucial for coordinating movement and regulating mood — that occurs when dopaminergic neurons in a brain structure called the substantia nigra malfunction and die.
Cholinergic neurons — those that produce the neurotransmitter acetylcholine — are nerve cells found in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) of the brain. They are also implicated in Parkinson's, since in post mortem studies of patients' brain tissue a significant amount of these cells are found dead.
Researchers had previously used used a harmless virus to deliver a genetic modification to cholinergic neurons in a rat model of Parkinson's disease. This technique is called designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs), and consists of a class of engineered proteins that allow researchers to hijack cell signaling pathways in order to look at cell-to-cell interactions more easily.
The animals were then given a compound designed to activate the genetic 'switch' and stimulate the target neurons. After treatment, almost all animals had recovered and were able to move.
Now, this same research team used positron emission tomography (PET), a brain imaging technology, together with DREADDs to selectively activate cholinergic neurons in the brains of diseased rats and look at how other brain cells responded.
They found that stimulating cholinergic neurons led to the activation of dopaminergic neurons in the rat brain, and dopamine was released.
This means that cholinergic activation restored the damaged dopaminergic neurons. The parkinsonian rats appeared to completely recover — they were able to move without problems and their postures returned to normal.
"This is really important as it reveals more about how nerve systems in the brain interact, but also that we can successfully target two major systems which are affected by Parkinson's disease, in a more precise manner," Ilse Pienaar, PhD, a researcher at the University of Sussex and Imperial College London and study author, said in a press release.
"While this sort of gene therapy still needs to be tested on humans, our work can provide a solid platform for future bioengineering projects," Pienaar added.
This new technique has several advantages over deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgical procedure that sends electrical impulses to the brain to activate the neurons.
Deep brain stimulation can help to relieve some Parkinson's symptoms, but is invasive and has had mixed results. Some patients show improvements while others experience no changes in symptoms or even a deterioration. This may be due to therapy imprecision, as DBS stimulates all types of brain nerve cells without a specific target.
This study sought to address the selectivity issue by looking at the activation of one type of cell in a specific part of the brain to get a better understanding of how other parts might be influenced.
"[T]he current data could allow for designing medical approaches capable of improving the ratio between desirable and undesirable outcomes and leaving nonimpaired functions intact. For example, specific genetically defined neurons … could be targeted to treat motor symptoms of [Parkinson's], without inducing a cognitive detriment, and vice versa," the researchers wrote.
"For the highest chance of recovery, treatments need to be focused and targeted but that requires a lot more research and understanding of exactly how Parkinson's operates and how our nerve systems work," Pienaar said. "Discovering that both cholinergic and dopaminergic neurons can be successfully targeted together is a big step forward."
The researchers concluded, "[t]his study supports the hypothesis that it is the cholinergic neuronal population, projecting from the PPN, which delivers some of the clinical benefits associated with PPN-DBS."
Pienaar and colleagues collaborated with Invicro, a precision medicine company, for this study. Lisa Wells, PhD, a study co-author on the study and Invicro employee added, "It has been an exciting journey … to combine the two technologies [DREADD and PET] to offer us a powerful molecular approach to modify neuronal signaling and measure neurotransmitter release. We can support the clinical translation of this 'molecular switch' … through live imaging technology."
This work may make possible more selective and more effective treatment alternatives to deep brain stimulation.

My pastor told me when I was little that if you eat mushrooms, you will grow fungus inside of you. Also if you drink coffee, your guts will turn green.
When I was little and we went to mcdonalds to eat some fries, I would never eat the burnt ones because I thought they were poisonous. I was really amazed when I saw my dad eat a burnt french fry.
i used tothink that uh-oh oreos ment they caused trouble
my cousin told me that if you ate cherries and drank milk, it would poison you and you could die. Naturally, I had to try it...
I use to really like pickles and my sister tricked me a few times telling me that jalepeno peppers were pickles. I would run around and cry after I ate them and her and her friend would laugh at me!
I used to believe that if you ate the hard part of the popcore popcorn would grw inside you and you would pop until you exploded.
top belief!
I used to believe that Big Macs were a strictly "male" food, and if a woman were to eat one, then the first time, she'd turn into a gigantic, obese, cursing "butch lady" with a cigarette permanently attached to her lips (like the Phone Sex lady on Beavis and Butt-Head, lol), and the second time she ate a Big Mac, she'd turn into a man altogether. Also, I believed that it was against the law for children to eat the "adult" meals at McDonald's, and vice versa--except for teenagers, who were so "old" that they were practically grown-ups anyway, at least in my young mind. ;)
I used to believe that dents in apples were worm holes. If there was only one hole, that meant the worm was still inside and you couldnt eat it.
My bestfriend's grandma tells us that if we eat too much bread, it will soak up our blood. We're 23 & she has alzheimer... Also, every sunday she buys two loafs of bread from the bakery.
my brother 5 belives that chiken skin makes you hairy.
I used to believe that people were trying to poison me. I almost stopped eating and drinking entirely until my Dad threatened putting me through another surgery if I didn't start eating.
When I was little I used to eat huge amounts of ketchup by itself all the time. Then my uncle told me I would get brain damage if I kept it up. I waited for years for the onset of the brain damage before I figured I was ok.
My mother always said that she thought that "turkey tetrazini" sounded like a disease. That might be one reason why I've never tasted that dish.
top belief!
When I was little whenever someone would suggest going to "Steak and Shake" my dad would always say "Nah I think we should go to "Snake and Quake" and I would beg him not to mak us go in fear of having to eat a snake.
Once I was picking at a kiwi and my aunt told me to back away before it ate me. I believed this until I was 14.
top belief!
if you eat lucky charms, "Lucky, the elf" will come to you bed at night to cut you open so he can have his lucky charms back. my older brother told me this one.
top belief!
When I was in kindergarten, I was "going out" with a boy on my street. We introduced my older sister to his older brother and they started going out. One day when we were playing together, we mixed up a potion that we were convinced would shrink us to the size of legos. We talked all the time about what we would do when we were shrunk, where we would live, what we would eat, how we would swim at the pool and so on. We didn't want to take the potion till we had planned it all out and built our teeny lego houses and cars and things. Before we got to take it, our boyfriends' mom found our concoction in her fridge and threw it away. When I think back now I'm sure that the potion we made would have killed us. I can't remember everything we put in it, but I do remember that windex was one of the ingredients.

i used to think that you used pepper spray to cook
When I was little, my grandpa would always tell me to be careful of eating bananas because they had bones. For the longest time, I would make my dad peel and cut up my bananas before I would eat them to make sure there were no bones for me to swallow.

When I was a child I was warned never to drink hot drinks through a straw. The warning seemed so dire that I thought the straw somehow turned hot drinks into poison and if I drank them that way I would die.

Scottish organisations can access data talent through summer placement programme
Call to public, private and voluntary sector organisations to host Scottish MSc data science students on summer placements
Call to public, private and voluntary sector organisations to host Scottish MSc data science students on summer placements
Organisations across Scotland have the opportunity to access emerging data talent from leading universities through a summer placement programme. The programme, which has been successfully running for four years, is a collaboration between The Data Lab and MBN Solutions, who have put out a call to Scottish organisations for summer data project placement opportunities.
The Data Lab funds MSc courses across 11 Scottish universities. It also works with MBN Solutions to place students in organisations over the summer. This provides the students with the chance to apply their classroom learnings to data-driven projects within public, private and voluntary sector organisations.
Organisations of any shape and size are eligible to apply for the scheme and tap into fresh data talent. The likes of Scottish Government, Wood Mackenzie, CYBG, V-Ships UK, RBS, Standard Life and Merkle Aquila have previously benefited from the programme taking on Data Lab MSc students as work placements.
Brian Hills, Head of Data at The Data Lab, said, "Scottish organisations are seeing the value data can bring from processes to forward-planning and there is an increasing demand for talent that can support these needs.
"Our MSc programme provides students with practical skills to support Scotland as it unlocks new potential using data, and the placement is an instrumental part of the experience. We encourage any organisation with a need to problem-solve using data science to apply for the scheme."
Martin Thorn, Senior Manager – Decisioning, Analytics and AI at CYBG, highlighted the benefits of the programme, "The programme is the perfect way for us to get access to new data science talent. Our placement student impressed us from the start and we had no hesitation in offering them a full-time role."
Robin Huggins, Director of Academy & Client Services at MBN Solutions, said, "This is a fantastic opportunity for organisations from across Scotland to access some of the emerging talent from our universities. We're looking to build on last year's highly successful programme and provide great opportunities for organisations of any size and scale to come forward with projects that summer placements could work on."
Debbie Maltman, MSc graduate who undertook her summer placement last year at Volunteer Scotland, said, "The placement provided me with the opportunity to apply both the technical and soft skills I learned throughout my course to a data problem faced by a major Scottish organisation. It gave me the confidence to know that the skills I learned during my course could be applied to any sector and to see the value of data driven insights to not just an organisational level but in addressing wider Scottish issues."
The deadline for applications is end of April. To learn more about the summer placement programme and to apply, visit here.
The public sector in Scotland has geared up to delivered some truly ambitious and creative digital plans over the last 12 months – which, if all goes to plan, could drive broad and meaningful transformation.

Conversate is a new way to bring users together in a time where isolation is more prevalent than ever.
The Problem: Perceived social isolation affects millions of people around the world each year. People suffering from perceived social isolation often feel alone and cut off from others; they often believe they have no close friends or dependable people that they can talk to. Those within the age range of 35-44 years old are especially vulnerable to perceived social isolation. During this time, many people begin to compare themselves to their peers; users can start to compare their relationships, job status, and even social circles to their peers. Due to this, many people within this age range begin to feel socially isolated and lonely, entering a so-called "30s crisis".
Our Solution: Conversate looks to reduce feelings of perceived social isolation in adults between the ages of 35-44 by allowing them to quickly and anonymously chat with other users with shared and similar interests. Using Conversate's physical device hub and voice UI "Soula," users can quickly connect to another anonymous user with a shared interest. The similar interests between two users and the anonymity of Conversate give users a jumping-off point for a fun and laid back conversation. The voice UI of Soula can participate in any discussion where she senses lag or an awkward moment and can turn it around by offering fun chat modes and insight into the current conversation. Using the companion app, users can check their past conversations and add other users that they've had positive discussions with as friends for future conversations and an enduring relationship down the line. Users can also invite their friends to groups, bringing together a close and genuine community of common interest. Finally, with the "Hot Topics" offered in the application, our...

Bill Richardson is looking for help.
In an email to supporters, the head of his New York effort writes, "Our most immediate need is for people to help with collecting signatures between now and December 3 to get Governor Richardson on the ballot in New York."
Here's the whole thing:
To: ### #### <####@gmail.com>
Sent: Fri Nov 23 11:55:21 2007
Subject: Help Bill get on the New York Ballot
Bill Richardson for President
Dear ###,
My name is Natalia Sorgente, and I am the National Director of Ballot Access and Delegate Selection for Bill Richardson's presidential campaign. I am writing to you because critical deadlines are approaching in New York.
In the next few weeks, we need to gather signatures of Democratic voters around New York so that Governor Richardson will appear on the State's ballot for the February 5, 2008 primary. New York voters deserve to hear that Bill Richardson is the Democratic Party's best choice in 2008 because he is the only candidate who offers change and experience. Our campaign is getting stronger every day. Recent polls reflect this momentum in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. Across the country, we are the only campaign consistently moving up in the polls and we intend to run a strong, visible campaign in New York. With your help, we can win!
I hope you will help us spread the word and help us earn the Governor a place on the February primary ballot.
Our most immediate need is for people to help with collecting signatures between now and December 3 to get Governor Richardson on the ballot in New York. If you will help collect signatures, please contact either our New York State Director, Ken Bulko at email@example.com <mailto:email@example.com> or at 518-xxx-xxxx or me at firstname.lastname@example.com <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> or by phone at 505-xxx-xxxx.
The Richardson campaign is also looking for people to help with other activities. Please contact Danielle Stein at email@example.com <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> if you are interested in tabling, organizing college campuses, recruiting volunteers, house parties, writing letters-to-the-editor, or taking a trip to New Hampshire. We are also interested in any other ideas you have to elect Governor Richardson as President of the United States.
With best regards,
Natalia Sorgente
National Director of Ballot Access & Delegate Selection

New cars are a poor investment. Instant, and sometimes dramatic, depreciation of a new car makes a lightly used car the smarter financial decision.
Aside from allowing someone else to absorb thousands of dollars in lost value, though, buying a used car is a bigger gamble. Furthermore, in an era when car companies make annual advances in terms of engineering and technology, vehicles age prematurely. A used car that is just a few years old may lack specific equipment that you want on your next vehicle.
Whether you should buy a new car or a used car is dependent on your specific situation. If you're leaning toward a factory-fresh set of wheels, these are the 8 best reasons to buy a new car.
1.) Reliability
According to J.D. Power, more than half of car buyers claim that after exterior and interior styling, reliability is the most important factor when choosing a vehicle. Because new cars are typically more reliable than used cars, consumers are likely better served by choosing a new one instead of a used one.
Qualified language is necessary here because reliability means different things to different people. Especially in recent years, consumer dissatisfaction with user experience and design has colored perceptions of quality and reliability.
For example, new car buyers frequently find touchscreen infotainment systems difficult and confusing to use. Dual-clutch automated manual transmissions that don't sound or feel like traditional automatic transmissions produce a greater number of owner complaints. Misunderstood safety technology causes consternation in drivers.
Keep in mind that the modern definition of reliability encompasses matters of design, user experience, and expectations of operation in addition to outright component failure. Choosing a simpler, less complex vehicle is often the best path to trouble-free car ownership.
2.) Warranty
New cars come with a warranty, and some are quite generous. This means that if something does break or fails to work as designed or intended, you can get it replaced at no cost.
When it comes to warranty coverage, Hyundai and Kia provide the best programs, with Mitsubishi close behind. Buy a new Hyundai or Kia, and these automakers provide the following coverage:
• Powertrain warranty: 10 years or 100,000 miles
• Vehicle warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles
• Rust warranty: 7 years with unlimited mileage
• Hybrid battery warranty: Guaranteed for the life of the vehicle
• Roadside assistance program: 5 years with unlimited mileage
In 2016, Toyota supplies the least favorable warranty program, supplying industry minimum coverage combined with the shortest roadside assistance program of any volume automaker.
3.) Safety
During the past half-decade, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has set the safety agenda and requirements for the automotive industry, pushing beyond the minimum standards required by the federal government.
After giving car companies advance notice that it was doing so, the IIHS developed the small overlap frontal impact crash test, which measures how well a vehicle's underlying structure deflects collision force when an impact occurs at the front corner of a vehicle. This test is designed to replicate what happens when two vehicles collide on a 2-lane road where one driver has veered across the yellow line, or when a driver departs from the lane of travel and strikes a tree or other large object such as a parked car.
In turn, this new test and the passing grade that would lead to a "Top Safety Pick" designation led automakers to develop stronger and more robust vehicle structures that do a better job of protecting occupants.
Budgets being what they are, some companies have been caught cutting corners. For example, when Ford redesigned the F-150 pickup for the 2015 model year, Automotive News reported that the company installed steel structural enhancements to ensure top crash-test performance for the volume-selling crew cab version of the truck, but did not add them to the regular cab and extended cab models. Ford has since announced that it has applied such countermeasures to the 2016 model-year F-150.
A champion of collision avoidance technologies, the IIHS has also demonstrated how automatic emergency braking systems dramatically reduce the number of car accidents. Reserved for luxury-brand vehicles just a few years ago, many new mainstream vehicles offer this technology now, perhaps most notably the 2016 Scion iA, which costs $17,595.
4.) Fuel Economy
In 2025, the U.S. new vehicle fleet must average 54.5 mpg, posing quite a challenge for a market in which pickup trucks and SUVs are the most popular vehicle choices.
Nevertheless, automakers are rising to the challenge. From installing automatic engine stop/start systems and cylinder deactivation technologies to building new vehicles with lightweight materials and aerodynamic designs, new cars are more fuel-efficient than ever.
Though consumer interest in efficient vehicles is directly correlated to the price of gasoline, car companies must strive to meet federal regulations lest they face significant penalties. That means that a new car will almost always be more fuel-efficient than a used car. In turn, that means a new car will make its owner happier when gasoline prices spike again.
5.) Technology
Buttons and knobs are terrific, but a new generation of smartphone-native car shoppers is arriving in dealership showrooms. Internet connectivity, smartphone projection technology, voice-texting, and access to social media feeds are increasingly important to younger buyers. The newer the car, the more technologically advanced it will be.
This applies to safety technology, too. Collision avoidance technologies are proving to reduce accidents, and they are becoming more widely available in mainstream models. Honda is doing a particularly good job of making features such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and road departure prevention systems available at affordable price points. Now, if it would just swap LameWatch (excuse us, LaneWatch) for a proper blind spot warning system, it would be clearly leading the industry in this regard.
6.) Big Discounts
Choose a new vehicle in a competitive segment, perhaps one that isn't selling as well as its competition, perhaps one that is left over from the previous model year, and you can secure a big discount, one large enough to help offset the vehicle's loss of value the moment you drive it away from the dealership.
If you have the luxury of choosing a specific time to buy, it is better to wait until the end of the month, the end of the model year, or the end of the calendar year. Some people may argue that this isn't true. Until automakers stop providing dealerships with volume-based incentive programs, and stop competing for best-selling model or brand status, and better manage inventory levels in advance of new model year production, chances are good that your dealership will be more likely to wheel and deal at those times.
Also, keep in mind that if you're buying a hot new model, or a vehicle in high demand and short supply, you're not going to get a big discount. In fact, you may pay a price premium.
7.) Attractive Financing
Historically low interest rates and vehicle loan terms that commonly span six years have made new car ownership a reality for more people. Financial institutions also typically offer more attractive interest rates for new vehicles than they do for used vehicles.
Yes, the payments for a new vehicle are higher than the payments for a used vehicle, and it takes longer to pay off a new vehicle loan. However, for as long as buyers can obtain no-interest and exceptionally low-interest car loans, a new car could be within the grasp of someone who might otherwise have no choice but to buy a used car.
8.) Knowing the Vehicle's History
When you buy a new car, you know that vehicle's history. You know how it was cared for, where it was serviced, how it was driven, and whether it was involved in an accident. When you buy a used car, you never really know for sure.
While CarFax reports and stronger laws have helped to reduce the possibility that a used car buyer might get stuck with someone else's problem, a new car is rarely a problem. And when it is, a warranty protects the buyer.

Beauty Care – What is Sweat?
Sweat is the body's natural defense to maintain the body temperature. Sweat normally contains water, and very small amounts of salt, urea, sugar and ammonia. By sweating body cools itself of the heat that may get generated because of outside temperature, physical work, and emotional stress. Some diseases can also cause sweating. For that you should consult your doctor.
Over and under sweating- some of us may suffer from over sweating (hyperhidrosis) or very less or no sweating (anhidrosis). Very low sweating may be life threatening, while over sweating may sometimes be caused by some severe body problems.
Types of sweat- our body has two types of sweat glands- eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands. Eccrine glands are distributed all over the body. Apocrine sweat glands are located on the scalp, armpits and the genital area. These glands do not produce much fluid. Sweat is generally odorless. Most of the times, it is the bacterial disintegration of sweat of both the types that produces odor.
To avoid odor because of sweat, the best method is to keep skin dry. Good hygiene will not allow bacteria to develop and multiply. Change of clothes after sweating is another method, because clothes carry sweat and can cause odor. If you have excessive sweat or are getting troubled by sweat, please consult your doctor who may suggest different methods that may include use of antiperspirants, botox injection, Iontophoresis and in rare cases surgery.
Sweat is not a big problem for most of us. It is the odor that is the bigger irritant. Keep your body clean at all the times and take basic care and you will find most of the problems disappearing. Deodorants do not reduce sweat but only mask the odor with fragrance. the need is not to mask but to stop bacterial disintegration of sweat and if sweat is excessive, to consult doctor and get treated.

Pope Francis has transformed the Church – it's time the Church stopped stifling groups who embrace that transformation
There are times in all our lives when an event is transformative, when something happens that makes a difference; there is a step-change and the person we were before is radically different from the person we become. There is no going back.
Such a step-change occurred in the life of the Church in March 2013 with the election of Francis as Bishop of Rome. The present successor to previous holders of that office is within the tradition of the Church, there is no argument with that. He has however shown us a willingness to break new ground through his evident easy relationship with people. Over recent months the internet has been littered with his examples of a simple life style that seems natural to him and puts others at their ease.
One key word must be dialogue, not just the dialogue of words but also of relationships. In recent years, groups have been formed in various parts of the world seeking dialogue, bringing together people whose commitment to the Church is faithful, but who also recognise real problems that cannot, must not, be ignored.
Such groups should not be seen as a threat, for their giving voice to current issues is all part of their pilgrimage as Christian people. They often meet with resistance from many directions, from those who seek the holy comfort zone of what used to be, or are fearful of where we might be heading.
Richard Rohr, in his recent book, Falling Upward, puts it this way. "This resistance to change is so common, in fact, that it is almost what we come to expect from religious people who tend to love the past more than the future or the present".
Because some people are willing to take the risk of a journey, to question where we are and where we might be going, that should not make them the subject of suspicion. Their courage in leaving home should be applauded.
The Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) in Ireland has raised serious questions over the last three years and have often been castigated for it. In the US, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, who met this week, who live out their vocation in a real and messy world, has had its integrity challenged by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Here in the United Kingdom, the establishment of the group a Call to Action (ACTA) in 2012 following a gathering at Heythrop College in London raised concern in some quarters when the only wish of those involved was to establish open dialogue for the good of the Church. Likewise, the Movement for Married Clergy, MMaC, has since 1975, sought an honest discussion on the "necessary" relationship between ordination and celibacy. Sincere discussion should be welcomed by both the hierarchy and the laity, for the good of the Church.
In the early days of August, we celebrated the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. We should remember that, now and then, we too are transformed, transfigured even, and the dwelling of God in us is allowed to shine through. Others see it, and are grateful for our being alongside them. Others feel it, in the gentleness of our touch or the carefulness of our hug. Others value it when we truly listen to their words of joy or pain and share with them times of great personal happiness or the darkness of desolation.
We mustn't be afraid of challenging voices from whatever quarter they come, but ask only questions of their sincerity and then be willing to dialogue a way forward together.

Give Thanks
Not just for the American Thanksgiving but for other 'thankyou's as well.
I had great fun and a little giggle with my DT piece for this challenge. The sequence just wouldn't leave my head so I had to go with it.
A waterfall card..... sideways........
It's the journey of that turkey to the table .......
with Gretchen doing the honours
All ready for the table :)
There are loads of tutorials over on youtube for making waterfall cards, so I won't bore you with another here. A cardmakers version of the old Flick books.
I used a pearlised brown cardstock for the base, layered with burnt orange then a yellow from the DCWV citrus range with circles on it (harvest time/circle of life). The images printed onto white and coloured with promarkers and ink distressed with pale orange.
The ribbon for the tags and brads from stash, the flower from Crafty Feelings.
Get your thankful foot forward and let's see your projects.
Terry's organised a fantastic prize of a $20 gift card from Scrapbooking.com! To get you started with inspiration, there are two freebies available as well over at Tellen's Place!
I am entering this into the challenge over at The ABC Challenges - H for Holiday
