"Meet me tonight in Atlantic City" – Resorts Casino Renovation
To quote Bruce Springsteen from the song, Atlantic City, "Everything dies, baby, that's a fact. Maybe everything that dies someday comes back." Not that Resorts Casino has died but the building is coming back, and in a big way. Yes, I'm gong to reach with a few parallels from the song to our job so hold onto your shorts. To hear the song – scroll to the bottom or (click here).
I'm just pointing out that like our young couple in the song looking to rebuild in Atlantic City – we too are from Philadelphia coming to Resorts Casino to help revitalize the building by providing crews access to bring it back to life. So, in a round about way, you could say that Superior Scaffold could be seen as the protagonist of this story.
Over time, the elements take their toll on the exterior, especially down the shore. It's our job to give crews access to do that restoration and repair work and make it look spectacular again.
This is a great looking building and for you people into architectural terms I'm going to throw out a few today. (click here to see) Let's start with what they are doing to the structure. For those who didn't know, Resorts was the first legal casino outside of Nevada when it opened on May 26, 1978. The Resorts site was originally the Chalfonte House and the Haddon House built at the turn of the century. The Ocean Tower still stands and was the original Haddon Hall and was built in 1927. It's 260 feet tall and contains 460 guest rooms. The base is home to the casino floor, spa and main retail and dining rooms.
It's on this building where we have provided one twin Mast Climber, 8 suspended scaffolds and about 125 feet of overhead protection.
They are doing a total exterior restoration and we provided crews access to the entire façade all around the structure. You can see just how intricate and awesome the detailing and work is.
In several shots you can see where they have actually removed the belt course for cleaning and replacement. It's also called a stringcourse or sillcorse – it is a continuous row or layer of stones or brick in a wall. Set in line with window sills, it helps to make the horizontal line of the sills visually more prominent. You can also see other areas they are renovating from brick to sills to the stone headers.
In many of the photos, the crews are at the top are working on the spindles or balustrade (this is a railing supported by balusters, especially an ornamental parapet on a balcony, bridge or terrace). These will be cleaned, repaired and or replaced and painted to make them look just like new! I told you I would be giving you some new terms today.
They are also working on the cornice and the frieze section (a broad horizontal band of sculpted or painted decoration, especially on a wall near the ceiling) just below the cornice. According to architectural terms it is the wide central section of an entablature between the architrave and the cornice. 😉
Let's talk about some old familiar terms like Altrex modular suspended work platforms, Power Climber and BisoMac210 motors. We have eight suspended scaffold work platforms all around this building providing crews access.
We also have one MC-3615 Mast Climber, work platform strategically positioned just to the right of the main entrance. These are awesome when there is no access from the roof for the suspended scaffold units.
And to protect the pedestrian traffic down below we have roughly 125' of overhead protection systems up around the base of the building.
This is one ornate, cool, colorful building that's going to look incredible once it's completely restored. And I must say that the guys at Joseph Dugan, Inc. are doing an awesome job.
So let's recap. We came from Philly, didn't have anything to do with the Chicken Man ;), brought our gear and gave the crews the necessary access to bring this building back to life. It sounds like we were the heroes of this story or at least a subplot, providing support for the main plot.
And with that in mind, here is the musical inspiration for today's post. Bruce Springsteen with Atlantic City

Hanging bridge platform, Smedley Park trestle, Springfield, PA
SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) wanted to paint the structural steel beams and panels on the trestle that carries the trolley over Crum Creek at Smedely Park in Springfield, PA.
Painters were only able to reach a portion of the exterior using a high-reach so they called Superior Scaffold to install a hanging bridge platform to give crews complete access to the exterior and interior of the trestle.
Superior's crew clamped spreaders onto the flange of the steel beams on the trestle and then hung trees from them and then decked it in using steel plank.
I love these kinds of jobs! They are not something you get to see everyday. Just check out the photos.
Here you can see Jimmy (Air Force) placing the plank while constructing the work platform that will give the crew access to the inside.
We used outriggers or side brackets on one side so they could also reach the exterior beams and panels.
We also installed a system scaffold stair tower with 8' high security plywood for access.
This is part of the SEPTA 101 trolley route.
Trolleys pass through Smedley Park on their way to 69th St. terminal in Upper Darby, PA and Orange St. in Media, PA.
The trolley looks an awful lot like a city bus without wheels. Just sayin'. And remember, these photos were taken during the installation process and it might appear some necessary components are missing. I assure you they are all in place now.
The park is named after Samuel L. Smedley, the local founder of the Delaware County Parks and Recreation Board. It's located on 120 acres of land between Media and Springfield, PA. The park has been transformed into a multi-purpose recreational area while still maintaining its natural beauty. It now features play areas for children, picnic and hiking paths, walking bridges and playing fields.

Let it go. My Self-Awareness lesson.
So, it happened again. Yep. And this time I got mad and thought I'd write about it. And the worst part is it affects YOU. Yes, YOU the viewer/reader of this blog because it involves some of the most incredible jobs you will NEVER get to see. That's right – NEVER get to see.
This is for all of you who have tasted glory and held it in your hands, only to have it snatched from your grasp by some evil creature with nasty talons. I am not going to name names here but there have been several in the last year and a half. We have done some really spectacular scaffold and shoring jobs throughout the tri-state area that would have won awards, made magazine covers, set industry eyes ablaze, and given some recognition to the scaffold builders who's hard work and creativity made them possible.
But no. This is what you get to see.
All because someone got mad or asked for too many free items and then decided to shut down marketing access to an incredible project. So anyway, this is just one example where one person's push hurts everyone. Because if you analyze the impact of what they lose; it could be huge.
This blog is read worldwide.
And not only that, the content is often picked up by several awesome publications that then put the word out to an even larger audience. The exposure for the companies involved grows exponentially, and it's at no cost to them. So why on earth wouldn't you want your super, awesome, incredible, one of a kind job broadcast virally all over the place?
This is where I get frustrated. I risk life and limb hanging in precarious places all to bring you guys new and unique angles and shots of interesting scaffolding, shoring, swings stages, and more. And I totally get the proprietary aspect of a new technology or a technique that hasn't been shown to the world and I respect that. But to shut down showing YOU awesome photos just because one person has a bug up his butt doesn't seem very cool.
Deep breath.
So, as I typed this article thinking I would just get this off my chest and let the administrators at these companies know that we would love to use material for their jobs sites and what a benefit it would be for them – it hit me like a ton of bricks. This little rant has nothing to do with these companies who don't want to give us permission to use my photos of their jobs.
This post really has to do with me. Yup.
And as I sit here thinking about it – it has to do with my inability to let things go. I have a tiny little problem. I am now becoming keenly aware that I try to control things that are simply uncontrollable. Oh boy. And as I become more mindful I see it is actually part of a larger problem that has cost me relationships and caused massive heartache and stress.
I have always tried to make things better even when they can never be that way. Instead, I need to be happy with what I DO have and not what could be, even when it comes to jobsite photos. This realization has come at a cost. But I guess better seen than never realized.
So, for all of you who are like me and find yourself frustrated at things that you simply just can't control, maybe it's time to step back, take a deep breath and start learning to let things go. You can't control the past or the future only the now. And you certainly can't control other people and their actions. So let it go. I'm working on it.
And hey, back to the original theme, this isn't the norm. Most of our clients are so freaking cool that they love to see their work featured on the blog and in magazines. So to them, thank you!!! And keep up the good work. And to those who won't give us approval to talk about your super awesome, cool, one of a kind job, well, that's your choice and your loss.
I just have to let it go. I think I just did.
And I'll probably get a cease and desist from Disney for placing this into the blog.
Woo hoo. Bring it – because I'll just "let it go".
And I have to thank Shawn MacDonald at Superior for the idea of this vent/rant/self realization. And to my boss, Guy, for pointing out my doggedness when it comes to letting things go. Thanks fellas!
Swinging from the rafters at the Forrest Theater, Philadelphia, PA.
These are the jobs that make my life fun! Who gets to climb above the illustrious plaster dome of the Forrest Theater, 5 stories above the audience seating area? Superior Scaffold does! And a little later, I'll show you just what our guys had to go through to get a job like this done.
This is all part of the massive renovation the Forrest Theater underwent. We also erected a giant scaffold to get crews to the underside of the ceiling. You can read about it here. I took most of these photos while the job was still being built.
The plaster ceiling literally hangs from suspended cables and steel from the top of the building. And you cannot stand on it or you will fall right through. So there is an intricate pathway of steps and catwalks that dangle precariously above the dome that we needed to climb on and over to get to the edges of the theater to replace the duct work.
This job was done entirely using suspension. We used beam clamps with tubes to anchor to steel when we could.
And we also used standard drop-in cement anchors to hold the cables when there was no steel to tie-in to.
As you can see, there was very little room for error – or bodies for that matter.
We tied our suspension cables to the anchors and then hung trusses from the ends of the cables and then spanned the trusses with scaffold planks.
This was an innovative way to create working platforms in these tiny areas.
Our guys really had to be creative to make this work.
In addition to the crazy way we had to build these platforms was the circuitous route we had to navigate just getting the equipment to the site. Check this out. We had a rope and wheel outside in the alley where our guys could hoist equipment up to the fourth level. From there they had to maneuver it up and through this small access port.
And then the equipment had to be passed through this tiny walkway and up this staircase.
It then made it onto the tiny catwalks in the ceiling and to the final destination. I love it when a plan comes together.
The new duct work went in without a hitch and the theater made its opening night! We are proud to have been a big part of both phases of this renovation.
If you need scaffold, scaffolding or access call Pat at Superior Scaffold today (215) 743-2200 and he will get you "up air". Or visit www.superiorscaffold.com for more information.
And for today's musical number; it's time to trip you way back… Look at those clothes!

Workin' for a livin' – overhead protection and swings at 301 S. 19th St.
You get up everyday and go to work. You just wish and hope and pray sometimes that you will have your mind blown or something extraordinary will come your way. And when that happens, you get an extra charge, a jolt, a little pep in your step because you got to do something new and out of the ordinary. I love those days. So what do you do about the other 364 days out of the year? How do you make your job exciting? What do you do to keep your interest as you plow through what might seem like the same old, same old, day in and day out?
Well, it's pretty easy to see what I do to keep things going on a daily basis. I'm just saying. 😉 So what do you do to keep your job fresh and exciting everyday?
I am just an optimistic person so the fact that I wake up above ground everyday is a total blessing. It comes from years of sports injuries and horrible pharmaceutical meds gone wrong. Maybe if you've all had a life altering or almost ending experience you can understand it. But if not – there has to be something you do? Do you think about your children, your wife, your pets, your next home project, the boyfriend sending you flowers, the new clothes you want to buy?
Can you look at the project you have right in front of you and think – okay, what simple thing can I do to make this better or even more interesting to keep my day rolling on, and not for anyone in particular, just you, your little secret to skirt the mundane.
We can show you pictures of canopies and swings all day long here at Superior Scaffold but unless you realize that our guys put up literally hundreds of these per year you don't know that they have to try to look at each one as a unique piece of work. And in essence, it's all how you look at it – isn't it? Sure, it's an overhead protection system that is designed to protect pedestrian traffic as work goes on up above. But realistically, each one of the canopies presents its own set of problems, just like anything you do at work.
So if you find yourself down and out about your job, remember, you are above ground, breathing the air, and working for a living! So take the data entry and give it a twist, take that driving your boss to his meeting and buy him a coffee, look at that proposal a little differently today and think about what small thing you can do to kick it up a notch.
On this job at the Townhouse apartments, our guys made sure to line up the red debris panels perfectly on top of the canopy. Seem like a big deal? No, but it really made the sidewalk shed look great. They also took the time to wrap caution tape around the entry areas and the horizontals (spreaders) overhead to warn pedestrians. Again, just the little things that keep the job interesting day in and day out. And the guys on the suspended scaffolds are doing outstanding masonry renovation work!
So, it goes without saying – be thankful you are alive, above ground and employed! Make the little things in life stand out and maybe only you will notice. But then again, maybe someone will come along and take a picture of something you do and put it up on a blog for the entire world to see! You just never know. So work like you really care and be proud of what you do.
This has been a motivational message from the good folks at Superior Scaffold and MPG.
And as always, thank you for your continued business and support. Call Bob at (215) 743-2200 if you need overhead protection, access, scaffolding or just a good ole' fashioned pump up! Or visit www.superiorscaffold.com today.

Sidewalk overhead protection at the Curtis Publishing Company building
Superior Scaffold erected this two hundred foot long canopy at the Curtis Publishing Building (601 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA). Once home of prestigious publications like The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal, Country Gentlemen and more; it's now a high end office building.
Built in 1910, this beautiful structure takes up the entire block just across the way from Independence Hall. It was renovated in 1990 and is currently undergoing an exterior renovation to get it looking as good as new.
The canopy is constructed of system scaffold, aluminum and steel beams, and has netting on the inside and debris panels on top. There is a tunnel that funnels pedestrian traffic towards the main entrance of the building on 6th Street.
Crews are doing restoration work overhead and our sidewalk shed is protecting the pedestrian traffic down below.
Once complete, this building will sparkle like its neighbor across the street.
If you need sidewalk overhead protection or suspended scaffold for access call Bob at Superior Scaffold today – (215) 743-2200 or visit www.superiorscaffold.com for more information.
And for today's musical number – I wanted to put an earworm in your head.
Superior Scaffold thinking outside the box, 1500 Locust St., Philadelphia, PA
So what happens when a client calls and says they need sidewalk overhead protection for a restoration project but the area where it's needed is too narrow for traditional scaffolding?
Well, enter the big brains at Superior Scaffold to solve the problem. You see, there is a reason you hire guys who have been in the business for over 65 years: They have seen most everything and can think outside of the box when needed. And that's just what our King of Swing, Bob Sarkisian did on this job.
There was no room for a traditional canopy or scaffold over the garage doors in the alley at 1500 Locust Street. But because of the restoration work going on overhead they needed something to protect pedestrians below. So how do you solve the problem? Leave it to a suspended scaffold expert to look up instead of down.
His idea was to cantilever a section of overhead protection out from the second floor of the parking structure! It would span the gap over the gargage doors that the traditional canopy could not provide. Problem solved!
This cantilever overhead protection system left enough room for the trucks and deliveries to get in and out of the narrow passage while providing the necessary protection for everyone below.
We also erected a traditional canopy down the rest of the block on Latimer St. There was plenty of room to install that system scaffold.
Combining the two disciplines was a bold move that paid off dividends and kept traffic flowing and client's smiling.
When you need scaffolding or scaffold solutions that are out of the ordinary, call Bob at (215) 743-2200 today or visit www.superiorscaffold.com.
And for today's musical selection we have something that's been rattling around in my head so I need to let it out. Mr. Dobie Gray, Drift Away.

Down in a hole – Penn Tower Walkway and Overhead Protection
Superior Scaffold installed a 200 foot long walkway/loading dock with overhead protection right next to the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology building. It is adjacent to the massive hole where the old Penn Tower used to sit.
It serves a dual purpose; giving access to the loading docks of the museum and also providing a way in to the new structure coming out of the ground.
We erected a bridge column canopy or overhead protection system. The GC laid down the pilings and structural steel foundation for us to build upon.
We put our aluminum beams down and then decked it solid with plank and plywood for a super smooth, stable surface.
We provided stairs off to the side that allows crews to safely get their equipment in an out of the giant hole.
There is a gap in the platform on the left side and that is for an elevator that is to come in later.
This is going to be up for approximately 4 years.
Here's a shot of our men who helped install this bad boy. (Jim Anderson, Nick Pantalone and Zach Campanelli).
We always love working with the University of Penn. If you should need access or scaffolding, scaffold, call Bob at Superior Scaffold today (215) 743-2200 and he'll take care of you. You can visit www.superiorscaffold.com for more information.

Pulling back the curtain for opening night. Restoring the Forrest Theater.
The Forrest Theater is a beautiful, classic, playhouse built in 1928 and located at 1114 Walnut Street in the Center City area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Built at a cost of $2,000,000 it was one of architect Herbert J. Krapps more elaborate theaters. The interior is intricately decorated with gilt detailing (silver gilded with gold) and silk fabrics. And that's exactly why Superior Scaffold was brought in. We provided the painting and restoration crews access to the entire perimeter of the theater, including the walls, ceiling and all surfaces, so they could restore it to it's former glory.
Crews needed to paint and re-gild the highly detailed, multicolored embellishments and areas that had chipped or faded over time.
There are so many great pictures; I urge you to scroll down and see them all.
It might look great now but our scaffold crew had some huge challenges to get this built.
The first big challenge was dealing with all of the theater chairs. Imagine having to strategically place each of your scaffold legs in between or around the chairs and then build upwards five stories.
It's quite the maze the team had to think around while laying it out.
The second was that they had to lay the scaffold out on a radius and as you know we are dealing with straight lines and rectangles.
The third challenge was the fact that the theater is on an incline, sloping up and away from the stage. So everything had to be leveled out so the work platform up top was perfectly flat.
And the fourth was that the scaffold had to continue and seamlessly connect to the lower and upper mezzanine levels.
So not only did our team have to build around the maze of chairs and curves but they also had to balance out the difference in elevation and continue it into the balcony so that the dance floor at the top would be level. Great job guys!
As I mentioned, we erected scaffolding that gave the crews access to all of the surfaces so they could paint and restore it to its former brilliance.
The giant scaffold that we erected in the main part of the theater consists of system scaffold, 2 and 3 foot outriggers, trusses, steel plank, a stair tower for access and a rope and wheel to hoist material. The elevation is 4' in the rear and 54' high in the front of the theater. It's 42' wide across the front of the stage and 92' wide at the rear.
It's primary purpose was to build this large work platform for the crew to reach the dome.
This dance floor consisted of skip plank and plywood.
We also gave the crew rolling towers to reach the highest elevations.
Here you can see them putting the final touches on the incredible ceiling. It looks amazing. They are doing a great job!
You can see the intricate details of the multicolored embellishments. I would guess they were made from plaster and not carved out of wood but you just never know.
They lowered the chandelier down and out of the way. We erected our scaffold around this delicate, priceless work of art. It will be put back into place once the painting and restoration is complete.
The stage was our lay down area. We had to get the equipment in from the garage across the alley. We also provide scaffolding and access in the attic as well. That will be fodder for another blog. It's just too much to detail here.
We had been called out the previous season to provide scaffolding in the balconies and perimeter to do some minor touch ups until they could do this entire restoration. The photo isn't the greatest but you can see what the theater looked like before.
They are racing to meet the opening deadline of April 18th for Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Everything is on schedule.
We are so pleased that the Shubert Organization asked us to be a part of this incredible restoration. For a schedule of upcoming shows or to just stop in the lobby and see the wonderful restoration job visit: http://www.forrest-theatre.com/

The musical number is a perfect fit for today's blogpost. As the critics once said, "Geddy Lee sounds like Mickey Mouse on helium." I give you Rush!

"Bartók's music as a whole is a music I never think about when its not around. It's impeccable, it's theatrical, it's even great. It dazzles, thrills, horrifies, sometimes irritates, but also moves me. But I'm not touched by it, as by, for instance, the outset of the quartet by Ravel – Ravel, supposed to be icy, formal, above all that. The notion that French music is objective, nose-thumbing, brittle, anti-romantic, is a notion I've never grasped. French music makes me cry."
Ned Rorem (2000) Lies: A Diary 1986-1999. Cambridge: MA: Da Capo Press, p.34.

In many ways, the homelessness crisis exists in both the present and the future. For those living on the streets tonight, the crisis is about getting warm and staying out of the harsh elements – now. Additionally, the chronic situation of living without stable housing is a crisis that must be addressed long-term.
At Bonner Homeless Transitions located in Sandpoint, Idaho, we work hard every day to address both the short-term and long-term needs of those experiencing homelessness, and that is why we are so thrilled to partner with Columbia Bank on the Warm Hearts Winter Drive and the Warm Homes initiative.
Bonner Homeless Transitions provides transitional housing and program management services to homeless families and victims of domestic violence in Bonner County, located in Idaho's northern panhandle. Our goal is to help individuals and families who are homeless, in danger of becoming homeless, or who lack adequate housing reach self-sufficiency and independent living in a safe and supportive environment.
Our housing programs include assisting individuals and families with case management, food, clothing, medical assistance, transportation assistance, counseling services and skills classes such as budgeting, employment, parenting and nutrition. We also provide resource and referral information with our collaborative partners within the community and throughout the region.
In order to help us continue and build upon our mission, Columbia Bank provided us with a grant to fund programs to implement even more solutions that can help break the cycle of homelessness. Through the Warm Homes initiative, a sister program to the Warm Hearts Winter Drive, Columbia is expanding its support of struggling families and individuals. The one-time grant making initiative is designed to help people experiencing homelessness find opportunities for sustainable housing.
In short, the Columbia Bank Warm Hearts Winter Drive and the Warm Homes initiative are tremendous examples of how businesses can make a direct impact on people in our community struggling with homelessness, tonight and tomorrow. Your support of these programs plays a critical role in ending this cycle of poverty and homelessness.
To donate to the Warm Hearts Winter Drive, please visit Columbia Bank's Warm Hearts donation page.

A man shot his best friend in the back multiple times outside an Indio house party, then fled the scene on a motorcycle, a prosecutor said Tuesday, while a defense attorney told jurors that no credible evidence ties his client to the party or the motorcycle in question.
Steven Lopez, 21, is accused in the May 27, 2016, killing of Jose Arriaga, 22, who was shot multiple times outside a home in the 47500 block of Calle Zafiro. A friend drove Arriaga to John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Indio and he was subsequently airlifted to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, where he later died.
Lopez is charged with first-degree murder and a sentence-enhancing allegation of discharging a firearm.
Lopez and Arriaga, described as friends in court documents, both attended a house party on Calle Zafiro that night, according to the prosecution. They were seen showing off firearms to each other during the gathering, then went outside at some point just prior to the gunfire, prosecutors said.
Following the shooting, a person was seen by eyewitness and on surveillance footage speeding away from the scene on a motorcycle.
Lopez was arrested three days later in Indio, when police found him riding in a car that was stopped on Jefferson Street, near Fred Waring Drive. A motorcycle key and a firearm were found inside the vehicle, though court documents state the gun was not the murder weapon, which has never been recovered.
Deputy District Attorney Samantha Paixao told jurors in her closing argument that despite his best friend's murder, Lopez was nowhere to be found in the days following the killing, with his cell phone turned off. In addition to the murder weapon never being recovered, a green motorcycle — which Paixao said several people linked to Lopez — has never been found.
"Why get rid of (the motorcycle)?" Paixao asked the jury.
Defense attorney John Dolan countered that nothing proves that Lopez was the rider fleeing the scene on the night of May 27. He also alleged that only one witness placed Lopez at the scene, with other partygoers telling police and attorneys that they never saw Lopez, or his motorcycle, at the Calle Zafiro home that night.
The only witness who offered any kind of physical description of the motorcyclist described the rider as a white man in his 40s or 50s with long hair, Dolan said.
"There is no physical evidence that shows that Steven Lopez is linked to this killing," according to Dolan, who said the only forensic evidence in the case was Arriaga's DNA on the trigger of his own gun, which was found outside the home near his body.
No motive has been forwarded by prosecutors in the killing, but Paixao alleged that Lopez shot Arriaga as the two were saying goodbye.
"He lured his friend into a comfortable state, and as (Arriaga) turned around to go back inside, where the rest of everybody was hanging out, his friend shot him in cold blood," Paixao said.
The prosecutor alleged that when the two were comparing guns inside the house, Lopez was able to see that Arriaga's gun was unloaded, giving him knowledge that he could catch Arriaga unaware, showing planning and premeditation in the slaying. Live rounds from Arriaga's .38 revolver were found outside near the shooting scene, which had apparently fallen out of the gun.

I was presented with a plaque dur-
ing their Men's Day
Half an hour into a sermon at the National Cathedral in Washington last June about people living on the margins of American society, the Rev. William J. Barber II paused to ask, "Can I preach like I would at home for a minute?"
He shed his professorial tone and slipped into the more passionate style he uses in his pulpit at the mostly African-American Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro.
Heading into the crescendo of his message of how God uses people who have been rejected by society to bring about revolution, he played his voice like a pipe organ, hitting high notes and low ones, holding some and snapping others off. He boomed. He whispered. He trembled. He sweated.
He brought the congregation to its feet. (Read more)
In January 2018 Bertha Battle my moma's sister went on to glory.
In September 2018 my uncle Eugene Dancy my dad's brother went on to glory.
Just last week my uncle Curtis Dancy my dad's brother went on to glory.
God is good! All 3 died at home and didn't go through a time of long suffering.
Although I was close to them my daddy was close to all 3 and I feel this is going to take a toll on him although he is handling well from what I can see.
My dad will be 85 years old in February. It looks like he is going to outlive all of us. I have got to stop obligating myself to a lot of things and leave myself flexible to be there more for my dad and family.
Time is winding down. Some things we have options so we need to prioritize things because we are not getting any younger.
I challenge myself to do better in 2019.
As I look forward to celebrating my birthday on December 25 the day that folk celebrate Christmas I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
All I want for Christmas is to wake up to see another day and be in my right mind.
But if I don't wake up in the morning God has been good to me because he has allowed me to see 55 and if it is his will I will see 56.

Then in 1893, Joshua's son Ernest introduced coffee to the Irish public. From his premises in central Dublin, he demonstrated the art of coffee making, whilst his wife prepared freshly baked scones. The rest is history. By 1927 Bewley's had grown to include cafes, shops, bakeries, and a handmade chocolate factory.
Bewley's cafes became the place to meet, relax, enjoy good food, think, and write. Indeed, some of Ireland's most famous literary sons have succumbed to the lure of Bewley's legendary cafes. Brendan Behan, Patrick Kavanagh, and James Joyce among others have all enjoyed the hospitality that is Bewley's.

C-TPAT Minimum Security Criteria Updates Under Consideration
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is beginning to consider possible changes to the minimum security criteria under the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, which has now been in place for more than 15 years. The Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee, along with a working group representing various members of the supply chain, is working with CBP in this effort and recently made a number of associated recommendations. Adam Salerno, co-chair of COAC's Global Supply Chain Subcommittee, said at a recent COAC meeting that the trade community is looking for an appropriate balance between prescriptive language, best practices, and performance-based goals that will allow C-TPAT members to develop compliance measures that best suit them and are scalable to companies of all sizes.
COAC's recommendations include the following.
- C-TPAT should stay focused on supply chain security and additional minimum security criteria should focus on minimizing risks in the supply chain.
- CBP should give C-TPAT participants 90 days to comment on proposed new MSC and integrate their feedback.
- CBP and COAC should work together to review and update program benefits and establish metrics while finding ways to offset program costs.
- CBP should work with C-TPAT participants to develop a cost/benefit analysis.
- CBP should conduct a pilot test of any new MSC to evaluate their operational feasibility and allow sufficient time for participants to implement them once they are finalized.
- Prior to finalization and implementation of new MSC they should be reviewed in their totality to streamline requirements, remove potential redundancies with existing MSC or any overlap with existing laws and regulations, and focus both CBP and trade resources on areas of highest risk.
- CBP should engage with international trade partners to ensure that updated MSC align with authorized economic operator program standards to meet mutual recognition obligations.
- CBP should provide training and reference materials on the new MSC well in advance of implementation.
- Updated guidance, including a transparent and uniform Tier 3 best practices and validation process, should be developed and issued to C-TPAT partners and CBP.
- CBP should consider expanding C-TPAT participation to currently ineligible entities; e.g., drayage carriers, rail carriers, and warehouses.
COAC envisions a multi-stage process that includes (1) developing the revised MSC, circulating them for review, and refining them; (2) developing an implementation plan that may include training and outreach as well as a pilot program to; and (3) implementing the updated MSC in a staged approach that allows sufficient time for C-TPAT members to become educated on the new criteria, evaluate the requirements, and implement them in their own supply chains.
CBP officials have responded positively to COAC's recommendations and said CBP is committed to making any changes in partnership with the trade community. Officials have emphasized that any revisions to the MSC must be achievable, affordable, and articulable. One official noted that it could take several years to expand C-TPAT to more domestic entities, but ST&R's Lenny Feldman responded that doing so should be pursued expeditiously to help combat homegrown extremists and domestic terrorism.
Although CBP continues to consider potential MSC updates within the established working group, general input on this or other C-TPAT issues may be provided to Lenny Feldman, who serves on the group.

Today at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, our own Steve Weintraub was on hand to snap some shots of the studios' displays for a variety of upcoming movies and TV series. The expo is where vendors get a chance to see what they might want to spend their money on in the coming months (or years), similar to last week's TV Upfronts, where ad buyers get a song and dance about how "the best is yet to come, so give us your billions!"
This year at the Expo, CBS has put up a display in anticipation of Star Trek: Discovery, which will be airing exclusively on its All Access (paid, online) platform later this year. Since we don't know much about the new series (aside from a first trailer), CBS has instead taken the opportunity to show off some props from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Most will be pretty familiar, but a few inclusions may surprise you (Steve also took some up-close photos of the explainer cards — click for a larger image).
Additionally, you can see the display for Discovery, which premieres this Fall and stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Michelle Yeoh, Doug Jones, Shaza Latif, Clare McConnell, Kenneth Mitchell, Maulik Pancholy, Anthony Rapp, Damon Runyan, Terry Serpico, and Jason Isaacs. Check it all out below (all images via Steve Weintraub).

How RTL Design Restructuring Helps in Reaching PPA Requirements
Reaching Performance, Power and Area (PPA) targets is a very challenging problem for today's SoC manufacturers, and one significant aspect of the challenge is the constant need for changing the design structure, sometimes significantly, to meet the aforementioned targets. Changing the design manually or using adhoc techniques can sometimes take weeks and it's often error prone, causing schedule delays and unwanted verification effort. In this webinar we will present a new method for achieving RTL design restructuring quickly and efficiently, using the Defacto STAR platform, which relies on state of the art techniques and APIs to provide the users a multiformat, fully integrated, context aware and intuitive design environment.

I read the intro to Obukhanych's book and this was part of the first sentence she wrote:
I have yet to encounter one among my own kind: a scientist in the trenches of mainstream biomedical research who does not regard vaccines as the greatest invention of medicine.
It's a powerful sentence and I immediately wanted to know more about her to give some perspective on the book. All I really knew is it was self-published in 2012. Where is she working? So I searched YouTube and found this fascinating talk that she gave a year and a half ago:
I paid a lot of attention and learned a number things. You can tell she's very educated.
She opens with a paper from the 60s by two scientists from the CDC who said measles is a relatively mild disease and fatalities are rare. When asked why they wanted to develop a vaccine they replied "because they can."
She's right, compared to the diseases they had seen recently back then like polio, measles is relatively mild. I would have preferred her to be precise and say about 500 children were dying of measles per year in the U.S. back then instead of using the term rare.
I wasn't sure where she was going with this. If she could show that deaths from the vaccine were higher, then that would be a valid point. Instead she said the government was taking our liberties away for a relatively mild disease. I understood the sentiment but it's not science and I think it's valid to be concerned about 500 deaths per year.
The next thing she pointed out is that tetanus is not contagious. I checked and she's right. I didn't know that. Her point seemed to be the government had no right to require the tetanus vaccine if children sick with tetanus don't endanger other kids at school. Fair point, correct science. I just don't think we should have any child go through tetanus unless there is some greater harm from vaccines. I was expecting her to get to that.
Her next point is people who have had measles have greater immunity than people who just get vaccines. She's right again. It's possible to get measles even if you're vaccinated. So a higher percent of the population has to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity than the percent of the population who has had measles.
I was still having trouble getting the point. If you don't vaccinate, a lot of people have to get sick and some die to get much herd immunity.
Near the end of the talk she brought up the case of a measles outbreak in Canada where the mainstream press reported that it was because of the number of unvaccinated, but she said through surveillance they found out that wasn't true. Wait, surveillance? That seems like a bold claim. Can we see that data? She just dropped that statement and moved on. That didn't sound like science at all. The numbers are usually very reliable about who is vaccinated and how the disease spread from person to person.
Somewhere along the way she displayed a chart very much like the one below to show you can still have outbreaks in the age of vaccines. I thought it was an extraordinary chart. How two scientists can look at the same chart and take away two completely different conclusions leaves me thunderstruck. The only thing I could think of is she must have some real data to show the vaccines are potentially worse than all those deaths. But she ended her talk without going there. I don't know what to say to that. Maybe she covers it in her book?

There has only been one Tango phone up to this point, the hilariously oversized Lenovo Phab2 Pro. Now, Asus is arriving on the scene with a phone that actually looks like a phone rather than a re-badged tablet. The ZenFone AR went on sale through Verizon last night, and now it's live on Amazon as an unlocked device. For a mere $599, you can begin exploring augmented reality, which I hear is way cooler than regular reality.
The ZenFone AR has a 5.7-inch 1440p AMOLED display, so it's capable of Daydream VR in addition to AR. At this point, who even needs regular reality? The device is much smaller than the Phab2 Pro was, and all the Tango modules fit in a block on the back of the phone. Inside is a Snapdragon 821, 6-8GB of RAM, and 64-128GB of storage.
The version with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage is in stock now on Amazon for $599. The 8/128GB variant can be purchased now, but it won't ship for 2-4 weeks, according to the site. That one is $100 more at $699. These are GSM unlocked, so AT&T and T-Mobile along with the various MVNOs are the targets. CDMA networks aren't supported.

A gay and lesbian support organization is asking troops with same-sex partners to take an online survey aimed at gauging what care and benefit challenges the repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell has left behind, this story reports.
As we've discussed before, gay and lesbian spouses do not qualify for TRICARE or other military benefits because their unions are not considered legal under the federal Defense of Marriage Act. While same-sex partners who are not in the military themselves do not technically qualify for on base housing, there are limited circumstances in which they may gain official access, such as registering on base as a caretaker for the legally recognized child of a gay servicemember.
The survey, which will remain open for two weeks, includes questions about relationship status and health care perceptions for gay and lesbian troops. For example, it asks respondents to gauge to what extent they feel their homosexual status gives them unique healthcare needs.
Run by the Military Partners and Families Coalition, the survey comes ahead of a two-day D.C. summit on gay military family issues run by Out Serve, an association for LGBT servicemembers. That conference will include lobbying and workshops, according to Stars and Stripes.
The issue of the same-sex spouses of gay servicemembers receiving benefits is a contentious one on many levels - and not just for the purpose of the military. Opening benefits to the LGBT community would require the federal government recognize gay marriage across the board, allowing gay couples to file taxes jointly and receive other married-folk-only government benefits.
While the impact on the rest of the spouse community would be minimal, the housing issue is still a hot button topic for some who feel uncomfortable with the idea of a LGBT couple next door. Without participating in gay bashing, how is your family handling this topic?
Note: hateful comments will be immediately deleted.

Young Kindergarten Open House
Tuesday, February 5th, 8:30am-9:30am
for parents considering Gordon whose children have summer birthdays
Students who turn five during the late spring and summer months are often among the youngest students in a Kindergarten cohort. Gordon's Young Kindergarten is a child-centered niche program for students graduating from preschool who would benefit from additional pre-academic skill building and social emotional growth before entering Kindergarten. The Young Kindergarten classroom recognizes the difference that four to six months can have on a child's identity development and school readiness as significant. Young Kindergarten offers these children a classroom space with age-appropriate curriculum that responds to their unique developmental needs. This Open House is designed to explore the critical opportunity that exists between Preschool and Kindergarten for Gordon's youngest school-aged five year olds.

S-Cool Revision Summary
S-Cool Revision Summary
Electrons, protons, α -particles can be diffracted! That's a wave thing!
de Broglie found the equivalent (de Broglie) wavelength for particles:
λ = h/p
where p = momentum of the particle.
E-M radiation:-
- propagates as a wave.
- interacts with surfaces as a particle.
Look at the Sun (Don't actually look at it though!) It doesn't have a complete white light spectrum. There are tiny gaps (lines) of no light! This light has been absorbed by gas around the Sun. Why are only certain lines (which relate to certain frequencies) absorbed?
The Answer:
Electrons can only exist in discrete energy levels around nuclei.
When jumping from low to high levels, they absorb energy in lumps.
When jumping from high to low levels, they emit energy in lumps.
The lumps have energy value calculated using:
h f = E1 - E2
The lines on the spectra are the frequencies of light that exactly match the energy required to make the jumps between energy levels.

Finding inner peace: Mobile meditation studios take off in USA
These vans, inspired from the concept of food trucks, offer patrons a quiet environment where they can pay to collect their thoughts for 10 to 20 minutes.fitness Updated: Mar 06, 2018 16:07 IST
Imagine meditating on the streets of the world's most busiest city, New York. It is difficult. Right?... wrong! Meditation studios on the wheels are finding their way in the city which never sleeps and helping New Yorkers with relaxing their mind. These vans, inspired from the concept of food trucks, offer patrons a quiet environment where they can pay to collect their thoughts for 10 to 20 minutes, according to an article published on cnbc.com.
Carla Hammond, who left her stressful job, owns one such mobile meditation studio called Be Time. The interior of soundproof studio is adorned with over 15,000 LED lights that changes in harmony with the soothing music, which plays in the background. "It's a little spaceship of calm," the CNBC quoted Hammond as saying. Kristin Westbrook is another such practioner who runs a meditation truck, Calm City, in the New York. "I wanted something where people could pop in during lunch," said Westbrook, who left her job in New York's Rockefeller Center to pursue her calling.
In addition to New York city, studios like these have started running in Detroit and the San Francisco Bay Area too, and they have been plying on the roads since 2015. The common rationale behind all these studios popping up on the roads is helping "time starved" Americans to de-stress. "At the root of this is the inability to manage stress," said Joanne Leider, who operates Meditation Works in Detroit metro area.
Their concerns are not unfounded. According to an American Psychological Association study, nearly one-third, or 29 percent, of respondents in 2017 said their stress levels have increased in the past year. "I thought, if we built a meditation studio and put it in a food truck, people would use it if we brought it to work," Leider told the CNBC. Now, her company runs two such mobile studios and teaches meditation to employees of 16 different companies .

This week, I'm sharing my own work, because I'm so dang proud of it. Chris & I, along with our incredibly talented Austin-area friends, created this 2 minute water conservation PSA in response to RainBird's "Intelligent Use of Water" film contest. Austin is in the middle of the worst drought in 50 years, and last week, officials announced even tighter water restrictions, so this awareness-raising contest comes at a crucial time.
We had a great time making this film, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. Enjoy!

Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.
So, for example, if a child is labeled as having a learning disability, it has very concrete consequences for the kinds of services and potentially accommodations that child will get.
The three parts of the theory are analytical ability, the ability to analyze things to judge, to criticize. Creative, the ability to create, to invent and discover and practical, the ability to apply and use what you know.
But in any case, I did poorly on the tests and so, in the first three years of school, I had teachers who thought I was stupid and when people think you're stupid, they have low expectations for you.
There is no recipe to be a great teacher, that's what is unique about them.
And in order to succeed in later life, you need creative skills because look at how fast the world is changing.
In other words, if a teacher only teaches in one way, then they conclude that the kids who can't learn well that way don't have the ability, when, in fact, it may be that the way the teacher's teaching is not a particularly good match to the way those kids learn.
If you're not adapting to the very rapidly changing environment, if you can't think creatively, you lose big in this society because there are very few jobs for you left.
And if we don't have a test, what we may end up doing is going back to what this country has done before. We could use social class and we still do, but in the 50s, it was, do you have the right last name and are your parents in privileged positions?
But what many psychologists have done, probably because they did well on a test themselves and everyone wants high self esteem, is to create this little box and then do their research inside it.
I've taught statistics, math courses and what I've found is that often if you teach them algebraically the formulas, you'll have one group of kids doing well.
In other words, the better they did on the IQ test, the worse they did on the practical test and the better they did on the practical tests, the worse they did on the IQ test.
All of the studies we do in my group are quantified.
In other words, unlike some people with new theories, we will go out, we'll go into a school and we get products and the products are evaluated, whether it's by teachers or others. The scores are quantified and then we compare performances.
Well, first of all, we did lots of studies where we show practical intelligence doesn't correlate with G. We have probably two dozen studies that practical intelligence better predicts job success than IQ.
To the Kenyan families, school doesn't really matter because none of them are going on to college. Almost all of drop out of school and so, they're spending their time learning things that are important to them.
And so, you can do hundreds and hundreds of studies showing a general factor and just so long as you restrict your populations, your testing materials and the kinds of situations you look at, you can keep finding the same wrong thing again and again.
If you bore them to death and say, this hurts me more than it hurts you, #A, they're not going to believe it, and #B, they're going to invest their time in other things anyway.
If there's going to be an SAT, it's probably practical to invest in a book or perhaps in a course, but I'm sorry to say, I went to some classes that my kids took and it was clear in school that what they were doing was just SAT training.
Well, I don't think that the SAT is a scam.
The problem is that there are very few technologies that essentially haven't changed for 60, 70 years.
ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so, one could blame the companies, but really, economically, they have no incentive to change things very much because they're getting the business.

Gymrat no more?
February 14, 2013
So yesterday was the beginning of Lent. A day my husband likes to jokingly call a 2nd chance at some New Years Resolutions. I have to laugh, because generally that's true. Most people give up something unhealthy and last year for Lent, (we're not Catholic, but I enjoy the idea of Lent) I cut out dairy and eggs, essentially starting a Vegan lifestyle. Which I have been able to continue through to the present time, with no plans to change!
Its funny though, because this year, I did something very different. Without realizing the day, I actually ended up giving up my gym membership on the same day as Lent starts. How strange is that, that on a day where most people are trying to reboot their healthy habits, I went ahead and did something silly like that. It was initially a hard decision for me, but I broke it down and came to the following conclusions:
1. I love my gym – but I've only been going for yoga classes once a week. But I've been revamping my at home gym weights, etc.
2. The cost of the gym, is about the same as going to a yoga studio (probably less!) once a week, so I justified the cost.
3. I love love LOVE my yoga class.
4. I haven't actually been consistently going to yoga lately.
5. We're saving up some money for a house, so even when the amount is trivial, its still money saved and not spent.
So I opted to not resign my membership for another year. We're not sure if we'll be living in an area that its convenient for me to even be a member at this gym and I can always resign up later. But truthfully, i'm in no rush. I'm grateful for the gym and what it helped me accomplish last year, but like with a lot of things in life, I seem to have grown out of the gym routine. When I submitted my membership cancellation request last night, I was almost relieved. Even though yoga was only one night a week, that one night had me feeling roped into a schedule with levels of guilt and stress related to working out that just shouldn't be there, in my opinion
So I gave up my gym membership for Lent and I'm hoping to use this as an opportunity to develop a stronger workout rotation at home, with more variety and different challenges. I've also kicked around the idea of giving up alcohol (except for maybe special occasions, but a beer or glass of wine is sometimes just so good!) or maybe added sugars (but, Valentine's day!?). Its funny to me, that giving up dairy and eggs didn't seem like a big deal at all,but a month without a drink or some added sugar? That's debilitating! But one of my best friends used to always say that she gave up the hardest things for Lent, because it was a reminder to her of how important the practice was. It sort've puts my excuses to shame, eh?
Anyhow – a rambling post for a lovey dovey Holiday! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY YA'LL!! We're celebrating by my working a little later (d'oh), having some takeout on the couch and watching As Time Goes By, our favorite British Comedy.
ps – did anyone elses' hallmark envelope flap taste like chocolate when you licked it shut? Well played Hallmark, well played…

On Wed, November 6th we're launching a Kickstarter project to help fund the printing of our boxed set of wine maps.
We appreciate your support!
I'm having a flashback to a wine course I took many years ago. There was one question that I got wrong that never sat right with me:
Q: True or False? Wine comes in a limited range of colors.
Wrong! You are wrong! It is FALSE! Wine comes comes in a wide range of colors. Moron.
We reprinted three of our most popular maps in the last few months: Italy in August; Spain & Portugal and France in December.
Amazingly, only France had any updates, and they were minor:

DMCWORLD checks in with the Brazilian brothers, on fire at the moment touring China and dropping their latest single 'Keep On Lovin'…
First of all, you're a brother duo! What does your family think of your profession and of you working so closely together?
Our family love what we do! In the beginning, when we started to produce, they were not sure if it was a good idea, but they never stopped us. We are very lucky to have the family we have.
When was the moment that you decided you wanted to pursue music as a career?
Lugui has been fascinated with electronic music since he was 9 and I (Pedro) always loved music, I've been playing the drums since 2002. Back in 2013 there were a few electronic tracks that we were really into, so we started researching how they were produced. It sounded so fun so we decided to try doing our own productions! We then started DJing in 2016 after releasing our first tracks.
Best club and festival you've played at this year?
That's a hard question, there was so many awesome moments this year. Lollapalooza was incredible, we played there for the first time and for sure it's a day we'll never forget. Recently we went to Spain and played at Medusa Festival, which was amazing as well. We've played many great clubs like Laroc – that was awesome!
What are your top 5 favourite tracks at the moment?
I would say "Keep on Lovin'", our remix of "Ai Ai Ai", "Sunshine", "Gravity" and "Your Body"…
Your remix of Tom Novy's "Your Body" hit the viral charts, would you say this was the breakthrough that helped kick-start your career?
Yeah! It did, for sure. The "Your Body" remix was one of the first tracks we released and it went instantly viral, so it helped spread our name to a lot of people!
Do you think that your Brazilian heritage has played a big part in influencing your style?
Yes it has, this sound and style was getting so popular here in Brazil and when we started producing our own tracks we were influenced by that, so for sure it has played a very big part.
You'll be supporting Shakira on her Brazil tour, how did this come about?
We are very happy and we got really excited with the invitation. Shakira is a huge international star and it is a pleasure to be invited to open her tour! We hope we get to meet her hahaha.
Do you have any hidden talents aside from music?
Lugui is really good at making 'Brigadeiro', a traditional Brazilian sweet, and I (Pedro) am the best at making banana and Nutella sandwiches.
What is next on the agenda for Cat Dealers?
This year we've still got many great gigs in Brazil and around the world. There's the Shakira tour that we're obviously really looking forward to, and we're also playing at some of the biggest dance music festivals and clubs in the country which is really exciting. We've just finished touring in China and will soon head to Mexico. In November we will play in Australia and in December we're headed back to Asia again!

Keeping It Real by Justina Robson (Quantum Gravity Book One)
2007, Pyr
Review Summary: Overall I enjoyed the book a great deal, but was just a little disappointed with how it skated over quite a few things to pursue an almost purely action story – and was also a little let down by the "James Bond" ending.
Full Review:
Robson's Keeping It Real is a well-written, fast-paced page-turner, and very good for entertainment purposes though it comes up just a hair short from the larger picture
The characters are unique and interesting, with a hint of backstories that lend them the depth needed for one to believe the character is real and worth considering. The problem is that while we know the characters are flawed, we don't get much into the meat of who they are and how they came to be in this first novel, and these potentially rich peices of information are primarily glossed over as the narrative moves quickly to becoming a sexy action flick.
Plot-wise, Keeping It Real does just fine as an action story, with enough potential conflict inherent in the setting to promise more interesting mayhem as the series progresses, but again the author seems to gloss over points which could be vastly more serious and interesting, in the interest of pushing forward the action sequences. What could be an interspatial political firestorm having far-ranging implications is treated as nothing more than a brief day-in-the-life of this unique special agent and her charge, and short-changes both the character and the story.
Thematically, the author makes some interesting points about our world in comparing normal human experience against the speculative world of Alfheim, and could possibly do some real justice to the psychology of an accidental warrior class trapped into a game they don't understand and have limited control over. The theme of this first novel, however, seems to be pretty blasé – insularity for the greater good, at any cost, is a flawed plan for survival in the face of change.
Overall I enjoyed the book a great deal, but was just a little disappointed with how it skated over quite a few things to pursue an almost purely action story – and was also a little let down with the "James Bond" ending. For as complex as the two main characters appear to be, the ending seemed a bit trite and not as powerful as it could have been.

Yeah deadlines!
Don't you just love a deadline!. I have spent all afternoon doing 2 layouts for 12x12 magazine with the free papers that come with the magazine. I cant upload the layouts until they have been published, but 1 layout is bonfire night (this is the piccie I have used), and the other is Lilly soaking wet at Alnwick Gardens. Actually they are both Lilly, and the layout I want to do tonight is Lilly :(, oops better get a LO of Miss Izzy done before she starts getting miffed!
Feeling dead gloomy and lonely. I know I have absolutely no reason too, I have a beautiful family, a lovely house in the country, and work I am loving, but still I wish I had my girlfriends near by.
Peter has taken the girls to Nans this afternoon because they were driving me insane, and now I wish I had company!
Yes I want my cake and eat it too. Well I have Kirsty coming down with Ellie next Saturday, and the crop on Sunday. Then I am off to Wigan as I am sponsoring Kirstys retreat. Then I do believe Karen may be down not long after. It will be good to see her again. I am miffed I am missing Gillians 40th as well. But I will make that up to her ;)
Its my aunt's birthday tomorrow, the woman who has everything , so I am afraid I will be sending flowers, as I cant for the life of me think what else to send her!
Until later,
Anna x

VICTORIA — A former Liberal cabinet minister will help review British Columbia's response to wildfire and flood disasters this year that forced thousands from their homes and caused extensive damage.
Premier Horgan says a report with recommendations on the government's response to the disasters is due by April 30 from George Abbott and Indigenous leader Maureen Chapman.

Horgan appoints former Liberal minister to review B.C. wildfire, flood responses Back to video
Evacuation orders affected more than 65,000 people this past summer as firefighting costs topped more than $564 million.
Spring floods in Cache Creek, Kelowna, Vernon and Dawson Creek washed out roads and waterfront properties.
The wildfires caused the province to declare a state of emergency in July that lasted 10 weeks, the longest in the province's history.

I think there are many people who are nervous or uncertain about joining a small group. What does the group actually do? What will be expected of me? Why give up an afternoon or evening any way? Will it make any real difference? Well, the short answer is come along and find out. Over the summer, the Wednesday evening group is continuing to meet, and the Thursday afternoon group meets again on 10th September. We are finding that week by week the Lord is speaking to us, and we have seen all kinds of answered prayer, and we would love to welcome newcomers, even if you are only coming to see what it's really like!
But to help you understand exactly how we approach Scripture and why we place such importance on reading it, I have produced the following eight step guide which shows what might happen during a typical session. We begin in prayer, recognising the presence of the Lord, and we end in prayer, asking that the Lord will help us put all we have learnt into practice. The steps in between are designed that we read the Scriptures, faithfully, openly and honestly, so that the same Holy Spirit which caused the Bible to be written might apply that same word to our hearts.
These eight steps are, however, not rigidly set in stone. Sometimes we will spend most of the evening looking at a direct application, or particuarly focusing on how God's word speaks to the situation a particular individual is facing. Sometimes we will come across something that is hard to understand, and although it may seem like hard work seeking to work out what the Bible is saying, by the end we usually find that we have all grown a little in our faith and understanding. Really what happens is up to Christ speaking through His Spirit (providing we don't get distracted!)
One thing we have learnt is not to worry so much about the parts of Scripture we don't understand, as the parts of Scripture we do understand! Because it's often the most obvious commands or warnings we struggle most to put into practice … which is exactly where the support and fellowship of the other small group members come into play. The Bible was never meant to be read purely in isolation or on a Sunday morning. The early church was made up of small groups who shared their lives together – not as a tight clique, but as an outward looking network of people seeking to live out their faith in an often dangerous and hostile world, like us today.
So here are the eight steps:
Pray Take a moment to be still, to recognise the presence of the Lord, and to leave your cares and concerns at the foot of the cross. What is it that you are expecting the Lord to do tonight? Are you ready to listen to His voice?
Read the passage If members of the group are using different versions, where are they similar? Where do they differ?
Set the scene No passage of the Bible stands on its own. How does it connect with what we read last time? How does it point forward to what we will be looking at next week? Where does this passage fit into the whole storyline of the Bible?
Interpret What type of passage are we looking at? Are we to take what we read literally, or are there figures of speech we need to understand?
Respond Is there anything about this passage that immediately strikes you? Are there any words or phrases you don't understand? What questions would you like to ask the author of this passage?
Discuss What is or are the main point(s) of the passage? Could you express it in your own words? What does this passage tell us about God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Is the passage addressed to us as individuals or to the people of God? What are we called to do in response to His word?
Apply How does what we have just read apply to our own daily lives? How does it apply to the life of the church?
Pray that the Lord would write His words on our hearts, and that we would return with a testimony of how we have seen the Lord at work through all that we have learnt tonight.
