Keeping the Faith
The big 10, big trouble, and bigger grace

My nephew was found by his mother crouching in the garage howling in inconsolable grief.
What could move a 10-year-old to such emotion? He had discovered the Ten Commandments, and his tears were not the product of joy; they were produced by fear.
It started safely enough. He had taken an interest in the Scriptures and began flipping through his mother's old confirmation Bible. He gravitated toward those passages that were highlighted with faded yellow and pink neon. One of those passages was, of course, the "Big Ten."
Curious, he asked his mother about them and she casually explained their meaning and importance. This got the gears turning in his little head until finally he was mourning the divine condemnation hanging over it. He told his mother through the tears, "I've been mean to my sisters -- I guess I'm going to hell."
Thankfully, the demise of my nephew is overstated. God, as the cosmic rule-maker, an eternally angry accountant who takes delight in auditing the records of the sinful, is irreconcilable with the God revealed in Jesus.
This doesn't mean the commandments are irrelevant. It simply means there is something better -- we have Jesus himself showing us the way.
Clarence Jordan said the law was like chaining a vicious dog to a tree. With him chained to a tree, the owner could say, "You know, my dog has never bitten anyone, he must be a good dog."
But that is not true. The goodness of the dog is based solely upon the strength of the chain. If that dog ever got loose, he would gnaw on everyone within reach.
So if the rules, like a leash, can be made heavy or strong enough (as many interpreters and practitioners of the commandments can do), the thought is that the leash can be adequate to keep the wayward human heart from hurting others and hurting itself. Jesus' intention, however, is to change the nature of the animal, not to manufacture a more robust chain.
See, Jesus does not demand of us higher standards. Jesus does not re-quire of us super-human ability or commitments. Rather, he gives us his ability and grace. By bringing the laws of religion to their fulfillment, Jesus strikes literally at the heart of the issue -- our hearts -- trans-forming us from the inside out, so that more rules and steeper requirements are no longer necessary.
In Christ, we can actually move toward maturity, not just grow old, but also grow up. We can learn to accept the changed relation-ship with God, a relation-ship not based on a set of laws, religious regulation, or rules. This relationship is grounded in his love and grace.
Now, to think of spirituality without a well established system of rules is a radical, even fearful, departure for many of us who have based our entire connection to God on rule keeping, measuring up, and following the jots and tittles of every bit of religious instruction.
Of course, when we fail to live up to these demands (and failure is inevitable), we are swamped with guilt, fear, and throat strangling shame. Yet, Jesus has come to set us free of these things. We can let these go for the life he offers.
The only obstacle stand-ing in the way of this trans-formative life is we our-selves. We must give up all striving, all our efforts at "being good," and all we think we can do to impress or make God happy. And when we are empty, Christ will fill us with his more than sufficient grace.
William Law gets to the heart of it: "All failures of the Christian life are due to one thing: We seek to do with our own strength and ego what only God can do -- But God cannot do all until all is expected from Him. And all is not expected from Him until we have no hope, trust, or longing for anything but a humble, total resignation to God."
That resignation brings life and peace, for 10-year-olds, recovering legalists, religious rule-keepers, and for us all.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Senate voted 31-2 Tuesday afternoon to double the state's incentives to preserve historic buildings.
Republicans Glenn Grothman of West Bend and Neal Kedzie of Elkhorn were the only ones to vote no, as the upper house sent the measure to Governor Scott Walker.
The bill would double the tax credit for qualified historic preservation expenses from 10 percent of the cost to 20 percent. The governor and Legislature approved a five percent tax credit in the new state budget, and later doubled it to 10.
The bill encourages developers to preserve historic structures built before 1936. Projects are pending in Green Bay, Racine, and Kenosha among other places.
Based on current activity, the tax credit is expected to cost $8.6 million from now until mid-2015.
Critics fear the new incentives would drive the tax credits out of control. The bill orders the Joint Finance Committee to review the expenses in 2015.
Governor Walker's Press Secretary Tom Evenson says the governor plans to sign the bill into law.
The developers of the Hotel Northland were counting on the historic tax credit to double in order to be able to finance the estimated $35 million development. The YMCA in downtown Green Bay is now talking about redeveloping the upper three levels of the building and bringing back residential units

PULLMAN, Wash.-- The Pullman arson suspect who was arrested Monday told detectives 'voices' told him to do bad things.
The Pullman Police Department arrested Bryan Lee Kitchen, 31, Monday in connection with the July 14th fire.
Officials said Kitchen had been a person of interest since the morning of the fire when his unoccupied car was seen near the fire scene by police around 2 a.m. the morning of the fire. Detectives said they had talked with Kitchen periodically during the course of the scene investigation.
On the morning of the fire, Kitchen told officers that around 1:30 a.m. on the day of the fire he woke up with a "bad feeling" that something was going to happen where he was working. Kitchen worked for a plumbing sub-contractor at the construction site. He said he went to the construction site because he thought someone had been shot and their body had been buried there.
He admitted he went up to the site and walked around the buildings while smoking cigarettes and using his cell phone. He told officers he was only at the site for 20 minutes and didn't hear or see anything so he went home and "got drunk." Kitchen said he had not been drinking before he went to the site.
On July 16, an officer met Kitchen at The Grove construction site. Kitchen had agreed to show the officer where he had walked the morning of the fire.
He told the officer he had used a lighter to light his walk around the buildings. When the officer questioned Kitchen again about why he decided to come to the site he said he had been drinking at home and got a feeling something bad was going to happen. He admitted he was drunk at the time and he lied earlier because he didn't want to get a DUI.
On July 22, detectives went to talk to Kitchen again at his home. He agreed to speak with detectives and drove himself to the Pullman Police Station.
The detectives asked Kitchen if he would take a polygraph test. Kitchen had said he would do a polygraph each time he talked to officers. Kitchen agreed to take the test.
During the polygraph, the polygrapher asked Kitchen if he set the fire and if he had any participation in setting the fire. Kitchen answered no to both questions. The polygraph concluded that Kitchen was lying.
When detectives confronted him about the results, he admitted he had lied and admitted he had set the fire but stated it was by accident when he had dropped a lit cigarette in a pile of sawdust and wood chips in the E building.
Investigators say that it was not possible for a cigarette to fully engulf the building.
When detectives confronted Kitchen again, Kitchen admitted he had actually lit a pile of debris on the floor on fire. He said he lit the fire because he was cold.
Kitchen told detective he had a 'voice' in his head that told him to do bad things after they asked him why he set the fire. Kitchen said when he drank alcohol he could not control his urge to do bad things.
Kitchen said he had gathered other debris and added it to the fire to make it bigger. He said he watched the fire for about 20 minutes before realizing it was out of control.
He then went home and turned on his police scanner to listen to whether anyone was calling about the fire. Kitchen said he knew he should have called about the fire but he did not want to get caught.
Kitchen was booked on a charge of first-degree arson and was transported to Whitman County Jail. His bail was set at $1 million.
The Whitman County Prosecuting Attorney and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Spokane will be reviewing the case for possible federal prosecution.
Fire investigators said the fire appeared to have started in the middle of the complex and spread to three other buildings under construction.
The fire destroyed 88 units and burned all four buildings down. The flames were so hot that officials said it cracked windows at a nearby research park 200 yards away. It also melted the siding off of several nearby apartment complexes.
Fire investigators said the fire is the largest and most complicated fire Pullman has experienced in the last 30 years.
The Grove was under construction. Students were set to move into the buildings in August.
Two nearby apartment complexes, Boulder Creek and Steptoe, suffered heat damage to the siding but all units are still usable. Several cars were also damaged by the heat.
Investigators estimated that the fire caused $13 million in damage.

Moving Into a Psychiatric Hospital
I heard the traffic reporter on the radio today claim that she was too blessed to be stressed. I ran the words through my head over and over until I realized that in spite of my very bad attitude lately over the huge battles I've fought in getting mental health services for my kids, I feel the same way. Just physically making it through each day ought to be indication enough for me, adding in all the other outsides stressors and challenges, but then meeting each one head on, often with a pretty good resolution, reminds me of how blessed I really am overall. I spent all day today again in my truck moving my seriously disturbed son from a crisis respite center three hours away to a psychiatric hospital… [more]
Mental Health Facilities for Children
I'm a little cowed by the fact that several of my children have needed to live somewhere else in out-of-home placements. I could not meet their psychiatric needs within the confines and limitations of our family home. No one but a psychiatric facility with a staff and PRN medications would be able to keep irrational, violent children safe from themselves. The safety of others must also be considered. This side of life has shocked me in such an abject manner. I would not have knowingly adopted children for which this was to become an issue, yet I since I did so, unbeknownst to me, I feel a huge sense of responsibility towards them as well as the sadness of unreturned love… [more]
Seeking Residential Psychiatric Help
After nearly two months now in two different psychiatric hospital placements, my son was discharged yesterday as they are both considered short term facilities. Even if it is obvious that our family's safety would be jeopardized by having him come home, it's basically tough toenails. Deal with it. I've spent eight weeks now, sending emails queries and making phone calls, hunting for the next tenuous solution. I've been here before with a significantly disturbed child, two kids of mine actually who have little hope for a good future as their choices are so limited. I've documented all attempts. I've found that I have to prove what I've tried to do, how many ways in which I've sought help. My frustration level has radically mounted. People… [more]
Stumped By Problems in the Mental Health Field
The Atlanta Journal Constitution had written a series about some terribly sad deaths in Georgia in mental hospitals resulting in a lawsuit and an investigation which unfortunately has made it a million times more difficult to find help for severely disturbed children. This is a painful-to-read series and there's more to each story plus another side. There are not enough foster homes for troubled adolescents, an article yesterday in the AJC bemoaned this fact, and many of these kids end up in beds in mental facilities whether they need to be there or not, leaving folks who seriously need the psychiatric help out in the cold. I have no answer here, I'm only pointing out a massive problem. This editorial addresses a situation I find… [more]
Opening a Door to Mental Heath Help
I made a huge amount of progress today, so much so that I feel as if I've had a stay of execution and in many ways that is true. I'd received another email from a teacher confirming my thoughts and feelings about the damage Jose has done in our home, the constant outbursts, terrible potential for violence, and how he has lately projected his hatred for me onto the other girls in our family. His threats, his attacks and his continuous maladaptive thoughts of 'killing his mom' are too alarming to live with each day. I received a reprieve when I finally got through to someone at the state level. Someone I'd tangled with a couple of years ago over another child of mine… [more]
Confirmation of a Tough Decision
Y'all might just about be tired of our ongoing saga with seeking mental health resources, but it is why I've been unable to post very often lately. My son, Jose, has been out of our home for six weeks now, and even gone, has forced us to go through a CPS investigation which took up even more of my time. I budget my time carefully. Family comes first, the kids who are trying their best to succeed – I never want to overlook them in my often fruitless efforts to find help for more seriously disturbed children. I have 13 kids who are obsessed with soccer, tying up all our evenings and Saturdays for the next couple of months. I love to watch… [more]
Respite Care For Troubled Teens
The four kids I raised since they were babies had plenty of opportunities to absorb the correct behavior techniques and the little things in life that make one fairly civilized. My other 35 kids have been more of a challenge. Like who doesn't know that the shower curtain liner goes inside the tub? I've spent years and years railing over this one fact. Duh if you leave it on the outside all the water runs on the floor. I have to replace an entire bathroom floor that has eroded, corroded and flat rotted out after almost 15 years of liquid abuse. My only RAD daughter used that bathroom for 8 years, willfully destroying as much as possible, anything to infuriate that lady who dared… [more]
Once Again Standing Up Tall
I feel as if I've been dragged behind a speeding jet readying itself for takeoff…only to be dropped from the sky and hit by an 18 wheeler. Standing back up, an eagle must have swooped down and swiped my head, but hey I'm still standing. In our month long ordeal, an emotional drought if you will, as others pointed fingers at my entire family while an amazing amount of friends, counselors and therapists rallied, we finally realized August was over and we'd made it. Stronger than ever, totally banged up and disillusioned, yet more emotionally attached to each other, my children and I are facing a strenuous soccer season where we'll now go through the next two months with 13 kids playing on four different teams with… [more]
Searching for Help in the Mental Health Arena
If you adopt children with severe emotional issues, mental illnesses or mental disabilities, be expected to walk through fire when you attempt to find help for them. When it is no longer safe for them to remain at home, when a parent MUST seek an out-of-home placement in order to ensure their safety and that of other family members, it has been my experience, on three diagnosed kids over the last decade, that they will then turn on you. My other choice would have been to possibly allow a murder to take place. And then if it was not me killed, I would have to face questions such as, "Why did you not seek help? Were these verbal and physical threats? Have you had him in counseling?" This same son… [more]
Blaming The Adoptive Parents
It's starting to look quite likely that I may only be able to write my minimum number of posts this month. It's not a time issue for me as I can blog quickly, rather it is a number of challenges in my home right now that I'd prefer to resolve first. A big one is criticism and outright condemnation. I've finally gotten to my computer after a few days away from it and have caught up on Nancy Spoolstra's recent posts about facing unwarranted blame. I'm reminded of Thumper in Bambi, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Words hurt people and I've noticed a large movement of folks assuming that adoptive parents don't mind all the armchair… [more]

The Great Migration of African Americans from southern states to northern ones in the years of WWI though the 1960s is told through the eyes of three participants, Americans all, who made this internal migration to Chicago, New York and Los Angeles in the 1930s and 1940s. Wilkerson's book is engaging told; she clearly was passionate about her subjects, being a child of Great Migration parents and an award-winning journalist. I loved this quote at the end of the book: 'In the simple process of walking away one by one millions of African-American southerners have altered the course of their own, and all of America's history.'

Don't let the size of this book deter you! This book made me realize that my mother, who grew up in Tulsa, probably went to a segregated high school. I wish I could ask her about it. I also was confronted with the fact that my Italian immigrant in-laws could blend in with the white culture in ways these African American migrants never could. A thought-provoking book. Is the United States still blind to racism taking place today?

Under-21s boss happy with Monday's draw at Newcastle.
Everton Under-21s boss Alan Stubbs said he was pleased with the way his young side dealt with the blow of going a goal down to battle back for a point at Newcastle on Monday.
A team of teenage Blues came up against seven players with Premier League experience at St James' Park and fell behind on the stroke of half-time to a long-range effort from forward Adam Armstrong.
But despite being under pressure for large periods, Stubbs' charges fought back and levelled through Hallam Hope's bundled 70th-minute strike.
"I'm really pleased to be fair," Stubbs told evertonfc.com. "It was a really cruel blow to concede right on the stroke of half-time. We should have got out to block the shot and I thought we could've just done better all round with their goal.
"But the players worked really hard and they showed a real strength of character to come out in the second half and put in the performance they did. I asked them to get on the ball more, be more positive and look forward more with their passing - and more often than not they looked to do the right thing.
"Mistakes were made, but that's going to happen, and it's a case of them going on and learning from those. And to get the goal was great because it rewarded their effort."
Former Everton midfielder Dan Gosling was just one of the recognisable names on a fearsome Newcastle team sheet, which also included striker Sammy Ameobi and Slovenia international Haris Vuckic.
Stubbs conceded his players may have been overly cautious early on as a result, but hopes they learned they can be a match for anyone when they focus on their own game.
"They had a really strong team out against us and sometimes the lads can be a little bit afraid because of what they're up against rather than just doing what they should do, such as getting the ball down and being confident in their first touch," he explained. "But I was really, really happy with the way they stuck at it and I thought there were some really good individual performances considering the players they were up against.
"The really pleasing thing about the goal was that we've worked on that kind of movement all week," he added. "We knew Newcastle's full-backs push on really high and that there'd be space down the sides of the two centre-halves - and we exploited that.
"It's always pleasing when you work on something and it comes off like that."

Two OWS protestors get engaged!
Last Friday, I brought a statistic reported by the Economic Policy Institute to the attention of my Economics teacher. The stat is that, as of July of last year, there were 5 unemployed people for every one job opening. He didn't believe me and then continued on to call the EPI a "communist organization". So, being the nerd that I am, I decided to work things out for myself, using July of this year for my analysis instead.
Let's begin, shall we?
By the end of July, there were 13.1 million people unemployed and still looking for work (aka people who were counted in the unemployment rate), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Also at this time, there were 3.413 million job openings. Now, as your average 4th grader learning long division (or rather, anyone with a 4-function calculator) could tell you, that works out to about 4 people per job opening. And that's just for people looking for work.
Next, you can factor in the amount of people who are a part of the labor force and don't have a job, but are just not currently looking for work. These are what the BLS likes to call "discouraged workers" or "marginalized workers", so called because many have simply given up on the system after being unemployed for so long. There are about 12 million more of these people on top of those who are classified as "unemployed". If we add on those people to our previous calculations, we end up with more than 7 people without work per job opening.
So, while I don't even begin to credit myself as an economist, it turns out that the people over at the EPI seem to credit themselves as such. In August, they released updated statistics that confirm the 4 people per job opening number we arrived at earlier. While they don't touch on the number that deals with people who have stopped looking for work, I'm fairly confident in the number.
To go further with this, this is exactly why the OccupyWallStreet movement began: because the system is broken, and it needs to be changed. Currently, we have conservatives actually blaming the unemployed for not having a job, when the odds are against them from the very moment they start looking for a job.
I think that Herman Cain and those over at the 53 Percent should take a look at this, and hopefully they will think before the next time that they tell an unemployed person to "just get a job".

Obese? You may pay more for insurance
Some employers are ignoring the law and sticking employees who have unfavorable health scores with higher premiums.
This post comes from Jen Wieczner at partner site MarketWatch.
Here's something employees don't usually expect when they attend orientation for a new job: weigh-ins and waistline measurements.
But as companies struggle to curb rising health care costs, they are increasingly pointing a finger at workers' ballooning bellies. Obesity-related health problems account for a big chunk of medical claims, insurance experts say, leading some executives to believe the best way to trim their budgets is to get workers to trim their own fat first.
"There's a lot of concern around how obesity should be dealt with in the corporate setting," says Michael Wood, a senior health management consultant at human resources firm Towers Watson.
For the past few years, companies have experimented with tying health insurance premiums to people's health. Here's how it works: Employees go through medical and biometric testing as part of their health insurance open-enrollment process. They are weighed, their height and blood pressure are measured, and their blood is drawn. Those with high scores on cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure -- or with chronic conditions like diabetes -- are told they will have to pay higher premiums unless they actively try to address any risky conditions.
The premiums can also be tied directly to one's body mass index (those with scores over 25 are rated overweight; 30 and above is considered obese). Some companies hike rates even for those with a BMI as low as 27, Wood says. An online tool on HealthInsurancePlus.com, for one, allows consumers to estimate their BMI and premiums by plugging in their height and weight. Expect to see a 25% increase in premiums for BMI scores greater than 30 or 31 in major health insurers' plans; someone with a BMI over 39 might pay 50% more a month, according to the site.
A separate report by eHealthInsurance, an online health plan marketplace, found that individual insurance policyholders in the obese category paid 22% more in monthly premiums, on average, compared with those with "healthy" weight (obese men paid 29% more).
But since body mass index is the rough equivalent of a fat score, some critics say forcing employees to pay fees for being fat is too personal and unfair. While companies are legally allowed to raise premiums on employees who are obese or have other chronic conditions only if they provide a way to duck the charge through treatment or participation in Weight Watchers or disease management programs, some employers are being more strict -- requiring employees to shave off BMI points by dropping pounds before they'll waive the surcharges, says Wood.
Some are ignoring the law altogether and simply sticking employees who have unfavorable health scores with higher premiums. "The return on healthier folks is worth the risk of somebody trying to sue them for discrimination," Wood says.
To be sure, a few extra pounds isn't necessarily a bad thing. A new study of BMI and mortality by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that individuals rated overweight, with a BMI of 25 to 30, had a 6% lower risk of death than those in the "healthy" category. But individuals considered obese, with a BMI of 30 or above, had an 18% higher death risk -- and becomes greater as weight increases.
Making smokers pay extra is more widely accepted than penalizing workers for relative fatness, says Wood -- and perhaps with good reason. Smokers have a higher success rate with quitting than obese people have with getting back to normal weight. Plus, he adds, smoking seems more like a choice than being heavy. "You don't have to smoke to live; you have to eat to live," Wood says.

Food Stamps are one of the most abused and wasteful social program this country has ever developed. A family of four receives more money monthly then my family of five spends a month on food. The amount paid out each month should be cut by at least one third. Here is how those on food stamps would not go hungry or be malnourished because of this change. Purchases by food stamps should be restricted to the following: Fresh/frozen non prepared meats & fish, fresh/frozen non prepared vegetables, deli meats/cheeses, canned goods, breads, non sweetened dairy, and juices. The following would be banned from being purchased by food stamps: Soda, bottled water, power and energy drinks, coffee, tea, ice cream, candy, energy bars, any pre-prepared meals or sandwiches, snacks/junk food, pet food, cigarettes and alcohol.
Smokers should be arrested for attempted murder. Why do they force us to breath their crap, but if we were to urinate in their lungs or pipe our carbon monoxide exhaust into their house that would be wrong. Just sayin... The least they can do is cover their expected health care costs and a portion of their victims.
It was bound to happen - first the smokers were villainized and penalized, because it was socially acceptable. Now, that smokers are dwindling, a new target must be picked, and honestly, why not the overweight? Complications of obesity, and conditions caused or worsened by obesity, cost a fortune to treat. Despite Mr. Wood's assertion, obesity is a "lifestyle" choice like smoking in many cases and can be "cured" with knowledge and hard work, just like smokers can choose not to smoke.

So, Sydney hang on, staggering towards the finish line after Tomi Juric scored a cracker to make it tight in the last quarter. Del Piero had one of his better games for the Sky Blues, with admirable support from the likes of the equally impressive Antonis and Ryall.
Adelaide were all over the place - at times excellent, at times clueless. They showed good heart to come back and will be delighted at the debut of Tomi Juric who scored an early contender for goal of the round with his first touch in A-League football.
Good news for both Sydney teams, with Sydney FC going into the top 5, while the Wanderes have a chance to break away from Adelaide. A record five straight at home for Sydney, that caps off an excellent day for the club on the back of the signings of Neill and Farina.
Thanks for your company. See you next time.
Comical effort from Fabio there, who charged into the box on a breakaway, but lost control and had to leap over the covering tackle. Not a great moment for the flying Brazilian. A cool head and a better touch, and he's one on one with the keeper. End of story. Sydney should see this one out though with little time left for Adelaide.
Smart play from Chianese there, who turned down an attacking break to hold up the ball and play it back to support. That will help eat up the clock. Good composure from the sub.
We'll have four added minutes here. That will feel like 40 for Farina's men.
Sydney FC are having a case of the wobbles here, and there is still a good five to go. They are desperate for the final whistle. It looks as if Juric's belter has taken all of their confidence away in one fell swoop. Reds on the attack through Geronimo and Carrusca. The Reds need to throw everything forward now, but they are remaining calm and keeping their formation.
Corner to Adelaide, but is comes to nothing. Much like at the end of the first half, the home side are fading, as the Reds assert themselves and press forward. A moment of relief for Sydney though as they break upfield and Antonis smashes the ball into a defender with a speculative shot.
Bit of a stink here after Fyfe clatters the most fouled man in the league. It's just a yellow though, and it does not placate the Cove. Nervy moments here, it looked like it was all tied up. The next ten minutes will be a true test of character for the home team. Have they really turned the corner?
Del Piero is dumped in the middle of the pitch, and the ball breaks to the new man Juric with ADP prone in the centre circle. He has a dig, but doesn't quite catch it right. Fair ply though, he's earned the right to pull the trigger.
What a finish, remember that name. And Adelaide have another chance! But it's into the side netting. We're all set up here for a blockbuster finish here in Sydney. Don't go anywhere.
GOAL TO THE REDS! Tomi Juric has had an instant impact. Absolutely cracking finish from a nothing long ball that Griffiths struggled to deal with. Now we have a game on.
Another free-kick to Sydney after their marquee man is bundled over as he changed direction. Bit of a harsh call then, ADP seemd to buy that one off Barbiero. ADP lines up another, and brings a save low down at the post from Galekovic. Good save.
That man Del Piero again shuffles and teases his way down the left towards the corner flag, but his dipping ball into the box is met by only Adelaide defenders. He held the ball up as long as he could then, but he desperately needed someone to make a run. Chianese comes on for the impressive Blake Powell and Ramsay is replaced by Juric for the Reds. Lets see what the new signing has to offer.
This could be a painful 20 minutes here for Adelaide, who look like they have run out of ideas. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if Sydney push on and get a third here. Another Reds move breaks down on the right. They need to score soon if they are to have any chance here.
Yellow for McFlynn, the most yellowed player in the league. So no surprises then - Sydney score 2+ goals, and McFlynn gets a ticket. Standard.
Good work again from Antonis leads to a corner, and from the resulting set-piece, the ball is bundled in via Griffiths and Blake Powell who swivels and stabs it home. That's curtains from the visitors who defended like headless chooks when Del Piero's ball came in.
Another free-kick from Del Piero skips a couple of feet wide. Looks like Eugene Galekovic would have covered that, but it had a lovely flight and curve on it. Adelaide have got to stop fouling around the box, ADP has his sights on today.
And Del Piero goes close after great work from goalscorer Antonis, flashing the ball across the goal. So close. One more here and Adelaide are buried. Sydney need to keep their focus and pepper the box.
Corner to Sydney after a powerful run from Ryall into the Adelaide box. it results in a corner - but Del Piero can't find Tiago with the set piece, and that man Boogaard heads clear again.
This result looks good for the Wanderers too, who will take on the Melbourne Victory tonight down south. Good work from McFlynn as he tidies up the mess left by Fabio.
Lazy defending from Griffiths there, who swung a leg at a clearance and nearly got caught out. They musn't switch off here, or they will be punished. There are plenty of Reds players who would be delighted to pck up any scraps.
Nasty looking knock there for Fabio, whose ankle and knee get dragged underneath him in an ugly tackle. The Brazilian is down receiving treatment. Or not. He's up again. That looked like a sore one, but it's a miraculous recovery, and the ball is back with Sydney FC who are heading for fifth on the ladder if this stays as it is.
Adelaide have responded well here, and are taking the game right back to Sydney, setting up with a freekick in a dangerous position. And it's straight to Janjetovic again. Nice easy stroll for the Sydney FC keeper so far.
AND IT'S TERRY ANTONIS FOR SYDNEY FC. The youngster has his first for the club, as his left-footed drive from outside the box clips former Sky Blue Iain Fyfe, and there's nothing Galecovic can do. Great start for Sydney. Fortune favours the brave.
Peter Triantis hasn't come out for the second half, with the player withdrawn as a precaution after picking up a knee injury. He has been replaced by Paul Reid.
And we're off again for the second half. CHANCE! There's an early free-kick for Del Piero to line up as the visitors continue to niggle. He hits a dipping delivery across the goal, and with Galecovic beaten, it comes back off the bottom of the post. That one moved in the air. Supreme.
No goals here at halftime, but good chances at both ends. Sydney dominated the midfield, and worried the visitors down the channels, but Adelaide finished the half strongly and will be the more pleased of the two sides with the scoreline so far.
Join us in the second half as Sydney FC bid to get back into the top six. Can Adelaide put a dent in their finals hopes? Intriguing game so far - one for the purists.
Adelaide are finishing this half very strongly here, as they sense tiredness creeping into the Sky Blues' ranks. Sydney are doing their nasty trick of switching off at the end of the half and the Reds are pushing forward, probing for a weakness.
Chance for Adelaide! Vidosic rises at the back post after great work from Carrusca. Rhyan Grant is there to greet the hanging cross though and defuse the danger. Big chance for Adelaide there just before halftime - that cross was begging for a bullet header.
Nigel Boogaard has been excellent at the back for Adelaide. He heads away another dangerous-looking ball in from the home team. So important to have a reliable big man at centre-back. And Carrusca has clipped abother set of heels. He's got to be a sneeze away from a yellow after that one.
Del Piero plays in Grant down the right, and the ball pings across the box, evading everyone. But the ref has called it back for a foul by Ramsey. Adelaide are giving Sydney far too much space in the final third. Danger here for the Reds.
Good attacking position for Adelaide here, but Carrusca hits the free-kick straight into the welcoming arms of Janjetovic. And then the Argentinian man gives the most fouled man in the league another bruise. Poor Alessandro.
Great skill from Del Piero as he toys with Malik. He's been superb today - would you bet against him making the difference tonight? He is looking fit and hungry, really starting to relish his central role. Surely he'll stay for another year? - especially if Sydney make the finals.
So all square here after half an hour. An intriguing game at Allianz, albeit a slow-burner. Sydney are in control, with Adelaide showing glimpses on the counter, especially down the right channel. This one needs a goal to ignite the tie. And I reckon it's coming before half-time. Just don't let McFlynn shoot.
Lovely ball from the Italian megastar as the Sky Blues pour forward. Antonis puts in a teasing cross, but the Reds deal with it admirably, putting it out for a corner. McFlynn attempts a volley from outside the box off the scraps from the resulting corner, but it is hideous.
Oooh rabona from Fabio. That was sliiiick from the Brazilian, and the crowd greeted it accordingly. Del Piero played it to the Brazilian who pulled out the trick that keeps on giving.
Effort from Galecovic with a technically superb hit from the second-phase ball from the corner. Not quite Scholes-esque, but lovely contact. That deserved a goal. Sydney are upping the pressure here in Homebush.
Antonis makes space for himself dead in front of goal with a drop of the shoulder, but it goes harmlessly wide. He'll be waiting a long time for his first goal if he keeps that up. Chance for McFlynn, but his drive clips a defender's heel and goes out for a corner.
OOh. Big chance for Sydney FC, after Del Piero draws Malik into a foul on the edge of the box. It comes to nothing, as ADP hits it harmlessly into the wall after an elaborate step-over to fool the wall. Wasted opportunity there, that was in the Italian's range.
Fabio fires one in low and hard to Grant, who controls well, but he's rightly caught offside. A considered start to this tie, very measured from both sides. Grant catches Carrusca on the heels. The Argentine makes the most of it, but it's just a warning for the Sydney man.
Bowles rinses Fabio again, but the ball in is very ordinary from Dario Vidosic. That was a decent opening for the visitors, but comes to nothing. Adelaide are just starting to settle into this game after a lack of possession early on. There's goals in this one.
Great effort from Daniel Bowles there, charging down the right, combining with Jeronimo and almost getting on the end of the return. That's much better from the Reds as they announce themselves in this tie. Bowles is causing Fabio all sorts of trouble. He's lightning.
Adelaide are looking to do the double over Sydney for the first time tonight. They'll have to get a foot on the ball though if they wish to do so. Del Piero is pulling the strings here in the heart of the pitch as expected. They'll do well to sign him up again.
Sydney are set up in front of the Cove, who are in good voice following big news about the signings of Farina and Neill this morning. Three points here would see the home team jump back into the top six, with room to spare. Adelaide are giving the ball away cheaply - and they haven't had much of it to begin with. Griffiths is settling in nicely in the middle, he'll be looking for a big game today. Chance for Sydney after a great ball across the box from Fabio. Blake Powell gets in front of the defender but can't connect.
Two great rivals out here today, with both teams all square after 25 meetings. Nothing much doing in the opening couple of minutes as the Sky Blues spread it around, just settling in to this one. Noisy crowd here, geeat atmosphere on a warm afternoon in Sydney. Early chance as Del Piero worries the Adelaide defence, but Anthony Golec shepherds it beautifully back to his keeper.
No Emerton or Abbas today, with Antonis and McFlynn switching in. Not a bad second best eh? Otherwise, it's pretty much the usual suspects. Tomi Juric is on the bench for Adelaide, it'll be good to see whether the Sydney-born youngster can crack it in the A-League.
We're all set here, with the teams taking to the pitch. Will Sydney be able to continue their impressive run of late, or will the visitors do the old smash 'n grab and leave the Cove blue? I reckon it's going to be a tight one, both teams to score with Sydney to sneak it and cement their position in the top six.
In case you missed it earlier this afternoon, Socceroos' legend Lucas Neill has agreed terms to sign with Sydney FC, with the Sky Blues nipping in ahead of the Melbourne Heart and Brisbane Roar.
Sydney FC v Adelaide United at Allianz Stadium, 5.30pm
Head to Head: Sydney FC 11, drawn 3, Adelaide 11
Last clash: Adelaide 3 bt Sydney 0 at Hindmarsh Stadium, Dec 2012
Tab Sportsbet: Sydney FC $2.25, draw $3.50, Adelaide $2.85
AAP writes: Sydney FC finally clawed their way back into the top six with a gutsy 2-1 win over Brisbane Roar and this looks a good opportunity to give their finals hopes another big boost.
The Reds scored their first win under Michael Valkanis as they beat Melbourne Victory 1-0 at home but they remain vulnerable away from home, losing four and drawing one of their past five.
Sydney's cause is not helped by Brett Emerton and Ali Abbas joining Joel Griffiths on the suspension list but they do have Terry McFlynn and Yairo Yau back.
Valkanis will have to watch the match from the stands after receiving a one-game ban for abusing the referee last week.
Key: Even at 38, Alessandro Del Piero continues to prove an out-and-out match winner and his form and fitness looks ominous heading towards the finals.
Tip: Sydney FC

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was walking through the warehouse, and someone had left a barrel right in the walkway. Well, I didn't see it and I just banged my big toe against it. I tell you, I've stubbed my toe before but this hurt something fierce. There was blood, the nail was broken, and worst of all, I thought we'd lost the whole cask. Well, after I put on a band aid, I sampled the whiskey, and it was terrific; I think the toe stubbing might have made the whiskey even better. That made me think of that old saying, "When life gives you lemons...make an expensive, limited edition whiskey." So that's exactly what we did. We thought about calling it the Toe Phoenix or Toe-r-nado, but in the end, we settled on Toe Stubbin' Whiskey. I really feel good about this. We took something that was a real tragedy and made something positive come out of it.
Toe Stubbin' Whiskey, a vatting of different barrels in the warehouse the day of the toe stubbing, will be available for $95 per bottle. As Miller says, "You're not only buying an expensive, limited edition whiskey, you're buying a piece of history."

kewpie teacup garden with a green kewpie in a pirate cup :)
Teacup Kewpie gardens!
I made kewpie baby planty things and they're adorable! It's like the plants are wearing pants!
Carrying on with my gardeny craft obsession:
I had this old Kewpie Doll laying around the house for ages that I'd found in an op shop for a dollar or two. It had these groovy little hand knitted underpants on and I fell in love. Since then it's just sat around looking sad so I decided to put it to good use.. And by good use I mean replacing it's head with a Jelly Bean plant (I am a bit obsessed with those too!).
It's head now resides on a glitter red artists' model manikin thing. He seems much happier now :)
Howdy Do! This is my lovely future husband pulling a funny face and my latest creation, a kewpie headband!
Last night I magically discovered a hot glue gun I'd bought ages ago and had forgotten about and decided to fix a headband I'd broken recently. Turns out I couldn't find the flower that is meant to cover the join that was broken. Sitting on my desk though were my new set of kewpies ready for crafting. Perfect! And thus was born the kewpie headband.

The Hartland Chamber of Commerce is cautioning businesses about a possible scam.
According to the chamber, a business identifying itself as SRI Inc. out of Delray Beach, Fla., is contacting businesses to sell advertising space on drug awareness folders. They are leading people to believe that the advertising space they purchase will benefit Arrowhead High School and that the folders will be distributed at the school.
The school has noted that they are not actively working with SRI Inc. and will not benefit from any of the advertising sales, according to the chamber.

Nature's Classroom project moves out of holding pattern
After months of public hearings, the town of Mukwonago took a step forward on Oct. 1 regarding the conditional use request from Nature's Classroom for building a school with dormitories and staff housing on property along Highway E.
While environmental concerns with water usage and the septic system affecting surrounding properties and the environmentally sensitive wetlands of Jericho Creek and nearby ponds, some saw the school as a better alternative than a 16-home subdivision.
Plan Commissioner Kay Clabault was the lone member not willing to move forward with terms for the conditional use.
After giving Town Planner Tim Schwecke guidance on the terms of the conditional use, the plan commission will review the final draft next month for possible approval.

Bankruptcy judge approves sale of YMCA properties
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Susan V. Kelley on Tuesday approved the sale of four suburban YMCA properties for a total of $9 million, marking an important step in the efforts to downsize and restructure the organization that has been mired in debt.
"This was a huge hurdle today for the mission of the Y, which will be stronger in the region," Julie Tolan, the president and CEO of the Milwaukee Y, said after the hearing. It will also allow the Milwaukee Y to begin to move forward to focus on its future as a smaller, urban YMCA, she said.
The YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee filed for bankruptcy protection in June, faced with $29 million in debt that threatened to sink the organization.
Under the court-approved sale, the YMCA of Central Waukesha County will purchase the Southwest Y in Greenfield, the Tri-County Y in Menomonee Falls and the West Suburban Y in Wauwatosa for $7 million in cash, with a possible $1 million more based on earnings in the next two years.
The Kettle Moraine YMCA will buy the Feith Family Ozaukee YMCA for $2 million in cash at closing. The closings are tentatively scheduled for Oct. 15.» Read Full Article
Walker at Sussex grand opening
Village of Sussex - Governor Scott Walker tried to draw a parallel this afternoon between the rapid growth of a Sussex based electronics company and his administration's efforts to create new jobs in the state during his four years in office.
The governor noted that the company has nearly tripled its busness in the last four years which is one of the reasons it has moved into a new and expanded production facility. At the same time, he suggested, there have been more than 100,000 new jobs created in the state.
Walker asserted that before he took over as governor, the state had lost more than 133,000 jobs.
Walker's critics have chided him for failing to keep a 2010 campaign promise of creating 250,000 new jobs during his first term.
Economic development has been a big issue in the gubenatorial campaign between Republican Walker and his Democratic challenger Mary Burke, former state commerce director and one time executive with Trek Bicycle.» Read Full Article

Arrowhead can't engineer more last-second magic
This time there was no storybook finish and no victory for the Arrowhead football team.
After winning its first two Classic 8 Conference games of the season with last-minute drives to emerge with a pair of come-from-behind wins, AHS had an opportunity to win again in the final seconds last Friday night, but an Arrowhead 24-yard field goal missed to the left with 13 seconds to play, and Waukesha West scored a 24-21 win in a back-and-forth Classic 8 battle at West on Friday.
The loss was the second straight in league play for the two-year reigning WIAA Division 1 state champion. The Warhawks also fell to 2-2 in conference play and 3-3 overall.
It marked the first time Arrowhead has lost back-to-back league games since 2004. That year, they fell to Mukwonago (13-10) on Sept. 17 and then lost to Waukesha West (31-24) on Sept. 24. It's also the first time they've been 2-2 in conference play since 2004.
Arrowhead led twice in the game, at 14-10 in the second quarter and at 21-17 in the third period.» Read Full Article

Even been bored waiting for your train at Union Station? Commuters and visitors of all ages have been subject to this feeling at one point or another. But soon, that won't be a problem. Hopefully.
A temporary indoor park is in the works for Union Station, and 26 designers are in the running to get the job – architects and amateurs alike. The winning applicant will be able to make their idea come to life inside the Great Hall beginning Aug. 24.
The train hub hopes to draw more people into the station with the indoor park as well, offering soft grass to relax on, tetherball courts, hammocks, lawn chairs and picnic tables.
At least one rider told FOX 32 News that he would be willing to at least check it out when the park opens.
"It's an interesting idea if nothing else," he said, "just to get more people in there. Maybe a little more physical activity is good as opposed to just sitting around."
The great reveal is only nine days away. Stay tuned!

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A man convicted in Pennsylvania for a crash that killed a sheriff's deputy is scheduled to stand trial on related charges in West Virginia in December.
Jerod Green was indicted in September on charges of drunken driving, leaving the scene of the accident and fleeing.
Green's trial had been scheduled for late October. Media outlets report that a Monongalia County judge rescheduled the trial on Tuesday after Green's attorney said he needs more time to prepare.
The charges stem from a hit-and-run accident in February 2012. West Virginia authorities pursued Green's truck into southwestern Pennsylvania, where it crashed into Monongalia County Sgt. Todd May's cruiser on Interstate 79. May was killed.
Green was convicted of third-degree murder in Pennsylvania and is serving 25 to 50 years in prison.
