How To Handle a Car Accident
Car accidents are scary, big or small. We hope you are never in this situation but GIRLS AUTO CLINIC GLOVE BOX GUIDE by Patrice Bank, shares important steps to remember. As always, stay calm and take deep breaths.
With apologies to your car, the best-case scenario for any crash is that it be minor enough that you are still mobile and lucid. You don't have to call the police after a minor accident, if you and the other party can move your cars safely out of the way of traffic. (Police may still come to help out if they observe the accident.) The police should be called if the accident is impeding traffic or is a safety concern.
Here are the things you should do if you are in an accident.
- Move your vehicle safely out of the way of traffic, if possible, and turn off the car. Catch your breath.
- Apply the emergency or parking brake and turn on your hazard lights.
- Make sure no one in the car is hurt. If you or anyone is hurt, call 911.
- Get out of the car and put out any flares or orange cones you have to alert traffic of an emergency situation. Check the vehicle over for the damage.
- If you crashed into another vehicle or vehicles, exchange information with the other driver or drivers. Ask for the drivers' license and insurance information and record their names, addresses, phone numbers, insurance companies and policy numbers, the VINs of their cars, and their license plate numbers and states.
- If the name on the driver's license doesn't match the name on the insurance policy, get the name and contact information of the policyholder.
- Use your cell phone to take pictures of any damage to both cars. It might also be helpful to take pictures of the surrounding area to help explain how the accident happened, especially if there is a disagreement on who's at fault.
- Let's be honest, #shecanics, getting in a car crash can be scary if the other vehicle's driver is aggressive or gives you a bad vibe. If you don't feel comfortable, stay in your car with the doors locked and call the police.
- Call for a tow truck if your car is not drivable.

It is not easy to make sense of the recent stream of publications flowing from the FFOZ ministry on the subject of their "Divine Invitation" theology. This is probably due to the fact that self-contradictory ideas don't allow for much clarification. These ideas can only survive through their conceptual vagueness and power of confusion. Clarity is their enemy, because it brings out the incompatibility of their contradictory parts.
The latest slogan to promote the "Divine Invitation" doctrine seems to be "obedience by choice". That is at least at the heart of Toby Janicki's article: "We are the God-Fearers" in the just released Spring Issue of Messiah Journal (# 103). This article is such a specimen of vagueness and confusion that one scratches one's head about where to begin to clear things up. For this reason I'll limit myself to some purely logical remarks on the two inherent contradictions present in it, both in Janicki's description of the Gentile position and in his concept of obedience by choice.
Janicki essentially classifies Gentile believers in Messiah as G-d-fearers, and describes their position in relation to Israel as follows (p. 36):
"Although the Gentile God-fearers have not been given the Torah in the same manner as the Jews (i.e. they "do not have the law"), they nevertheless choose to obey it".
At the end of the article we find a more extensive and theologically framed depiction of the Gentile position (p. 38):
"God-fearers were not compelled to keep the Jewish aspects of Torah such as circumcision or Sabbath by decree or law. They did so out of a sincere and intense love for God's Torah and his ways. They saw the light of Israel and sought to draw themselves close to it, so that they might warm themselves in its glow. As Gentile believers today realize that Messiah has spiritually grafted them into the nation of Israel, they feel drawn to the Jewish people and desire to worship alongside God's chosen as fellow-heirs of the covenants and promises."
One of the curious things is here that Janicki says that the Gentile believers are "fellow-heirs of the covenants and promises". This implies that he considers them to be members of the covenant. But it is clear without any further burden of proof that the ancient G-d-fearers — and their modern-day Noachide successors — are not considered as covenant members. For exactly this status would make them liable to the covenant obligations found in the Torah. This is the first contradiction of the article. It both includes Gentiles believers in and excludes them from the covenant.
The other contradiction is found in the concept of obedience by choice. Let me first clear up a possible misunderstanding here, by pointing out that, obviously, in a sense all real obedience involves choice. A child has to choose whether or not to obey the instructions of his parents and teachers, and an employee has to choose whether or not to obey the instructions of his employer. In morally normal cases the choice between obedience and disobedience here is the choice between good and bad, or between good and evil. In these normal cases disobedience is not morally permitted. It is simply the possibility of the wrong choice, and deserves punishment.
The position of the G-d-fearer or the Gentile follower of Messiah is not about this type of choice, however, in Janicki's eyes, at least not for a considerable part. The kind of choice which is prevalent here is the choice to obey the Torah — or at least parts of the Torah — without being under the obligation to do so. The Gentile believer may choose to obey the commandment of the Sabbath, for instance, but he may equally choose not to obey it. He is free to obey or not obey. He may do as suits him, particularly in the domain of the ritual mitzvot.
This whole idea is, however, hopelessly contradictory, in more than one way. First, it is completely unclear, under the hypothesis of this theology, what the Gentile who "obeys" a certain mitzvah, e.g. Shabbat or kashrut, really does. More specifically, one can ask in what sense he is "obeying" these commandments. I'll elaborate a bit on this.
To get more clarity in this matter let us ask the question whether a Gentile who keeps the Sabbath while supposedly not being legally obligated to do so really keeps the Sabbath. In other words: Is it really the Sabbath which is the thing kept by him? The answer must be negative. Keeping the Sabbath is only possible by obeying the instructions and commandments of the Torah pertaining to it. But obeying a commandment is only possible if the commandment is directed to you. If you are not the intended and proper addressee of a particular commandment or instruction, then it is impossible for you to obey it. It is simply not for you, and even if you "do" it, this is only so in your own imagination but not in reality. If a passer-by accidently hears the instructions given to a group of police officers on the street and decides to carry out these instructions, he'll soon find out that by doing so he'll be found a transgressor instead of a doer of the law. The necessary presupposition for the very possibility of obeying a commandment is that this commandment is given to you, directed to you.
This means that no matter what a believing Gentile does to keep the Sabbath, in reality he does not keep the Sabbath if he is not commanded to keep it. He may meticulously "do" all the scriptural commandments pertaining to the Sabbath and even "follow" the Oral Torah laws according to the strictest schools of rabbinic halachah. But no matter whatever he does, or whatever this "doing" may be called, it is not keeping the Sabbath and it is not doing the Sabbath commandments. It is simply not an act of obedience. For it is only logically possible to obey if one has also the possibility to disobey. However, under the presupposition of "Divine Invitation" theology a Gentile may neglect the Sabbath without any disobedience involved. From the perspective of this theology he does not transgress any commandment by not keeping it. Consequently he also doesn't fulfil or do any commandment by "keeping" the Sabbath. His Sabbath "keeping" can only be called a purely superfluous and fictitious act. It is a "keeping" of the "Sabbath" which in reality is not a keeping of it; nor is it the Sabbath which is being kept by this "keeping". It is a self-contradictory activity.
"Divine Invitation" theology is thus not compatible with the idea of obedience. Real obedience presuposes obligation and where there are no obligations there is nothing to obey. Moreover, the "obedience by choice" introduced by this theology cannot repair the fundamental logical flaw detected above. Obedience by choice is no real obedience at all. If I have the free choice of obeying a commandment or not, and if I don't transgress by disobeying it, then my choice of obedience is no real obedience of HaShem. Instead of obeying HaShem I'm obeying myself and my self-styled religion.
This is a concept which may well suit and flatter the modern and the post-modern man of a secular epoch. It is in fundamental conflict, however, with the idea of obedience found in the Torah. In the Torah man is a dependent creature, who simply ought to follow the commandments given by his Father in heaven, whether he feels inclined to them or not, whether he loves them or not. Following the commandments because he feels inclined to do so is not a good reason for obedience. For if the inclination is the decisive criterion, then it is the inclination which is obeyed instead of HaShem. One of the purposes of the commandments of the Torah is to liberate us from own caprices and whims, and to elevate us to a sphere which transcends our own arbitrary self-will. Obedience of self is contradictory because it is not true obedience. It is autonomy. A Gentile who does the commandments because of his own choice ultimately belongs to a completely different religion than the Jew who obeys his heavenly Father because He says so.
Does this mean, then, that love is not a motivating force for doing the commandments? It is, but in another way than is understood by "Divine Invitation" theology. For to sincerely love HaShem's commandments is to love them because they are commanded, and not consider them to be commanded because they are loved by us. Our love is unreliable and unstable. HaShem's commandments are firm and reliable. His love is based on engagement. It does not leave us "free" or unobligated. It is a love that binds us to Him and which commands us to a response which is binding and lasting: "Hear O Israel, HaShem, our G-d, HaShem is One. And thou shalt love HaShem thy G-d with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might" (Dt. 6:4). The love of HaShem, and his commandments, is a love which is itself commanded by HaShem.

Modeling of strength and deformation of overconsolidated clays based on bounding surface plasticity
Publication Details
Xiao, Y., Liu, H., Sun, Y. & Liu, H. (2016). Modeling of strength and deformation of overconsolidated clays based on bounding surface plasticity. Science China Technological Sciences, 59 (9), 1452-1462.
An elastoplastic constitutive model for overconsolidated clays is established in the framework of the critical state theory and bounding surface plasticity theory. The bounding surface is defined as the maximum yield surface in the loading history. A yielding ratio, i.e., an internal variant, is defined as the size ratio of the current yield surface to the corresponding bounding surface. The yielding ratio instead of the overconsolidation ratio (OCR) is used to evaluate the strength and stress-strain behaviors of overconsolidated clays in the shearing process. The bounding stress ratio incorporating the effect of the yielding ratio is used to characterize the potential failure strength of the overconsolidated clays. The dilation stress ratio taking into account the effect of the yielding ratio is applied to describe the dilatancy behaviors of the overconsolidated clays. Comparisons between model predictions and test data show that the proposed model could well capture the strength and stress-strain behaviors of normally consolidated and overconsolidated clays.

Last Thursday, I woke up to work. But before I talk about work, I'll talk about my home.
I am very grateful to live where I live. I wake up to a view of Aarey Dairy Colony everyday. I get to choose what I want to eat, and unless it's a workday, I design my schedule, because I have no strings attached. No husband, no children, just a wonderful boyfriend, 8000 miles away. (But that gap will close soon!) I have friendly, helpful neighbors. I get to walk barefoot on spotless floors…ah freedom! I get to focus on my writing, something that I've been wanting to do for a long time.
My apartment is my sanctuary from Bombay's chaos. It's my sanctuary from smog, the noise, the dog poop (I'm hoping that it's dog poop!). It's my sanctuary from the inefficiency, the inconsideration, the lies. The broken promises.
In my apartment, I can walk barefoot. I'm allowed a lack of color, a lack of noise, a lack of stimulation which is necessary for me to think. And to write.
But freedom always has its price. (One day I will blog about my apartment in Evangelista, a downtrodden area in Manila.) The price I have to pay for living here is my time and my labor. My time is not my own. Yes, officially, it's 7:40 to 4:30, but in reality, it's when the work gets done. And for many months that meant 12 to 14 hour weekdays and working during holidays. I have to pay electric bills, gas bills, internet. I have to ensure that my apartment is always clean and I'm eating the right food so my health doesn't deteriorate. In others, I am responsible for myself, with no one to run to except B. But then again, he is 8000 miles away.
Which brings me to last Thursday.
Last Thursday, I woke up to work.
More on Durshet, a Happy Accident in my next entry.

Though "why?" is a natural question and one that, in the throes of some black and turbulent nights, was asked frequently enough, it was never at the top of my list. I can't imagine that there's a single answer God could give me that would satisfy the empty arms that had been prepared to cradle my baby, or the aching breasts whose milk had dried up. If my son wasn't coming back to me healed and whole, then even the best answer God Himself could provide to the question of "why?" would be utterly unsatisfying.
It wasn't the actual loss that I questioned, or even why God tenderly knitted Ewan together inside me with a heart too broken to sustain his life so much as it was the question of where God was in the weeks and months that followed. I read any number of Psalms or other scriptures that spoke of His care for the brokenhearted, or how He captures every tear. I read of a God who provided His brokenhearted faithful with comfort and solace and protection. So why did I feel so utterly abandoned? Why did I feel like, after He attended to us in those final moments of Ewan's life, that I was anywhere but beneath the shadow of His wings?
I can't tell you how many nights I sat in the rocking chair in a dark and empty nursery, clutching the armrests with white knuckles, weeping hard enough to break the windows. I can't tell you how many times I fell to the floor in a heap and pounded my fists until I thought they might break through the floor, begging for some form -- any form -- of comfort and solace. I can't tell you how many times James held me in bed, my body curled up tightly in the fetal position, my spirit wracked with a pain deeper and more exquisite than I had ever known as I kicked and screamed and thrashed and wept and clawed and begged. I wondered when the grief might kill me -- it was not a question of "if." It was the loss of my son, yes. But it was also that I felt like Jesus was leaving my broken heart unattended in the aftermath. If I ever needed some divine arms around me, it was in those moments. But if they were there, I didn't feel them -- not in the slightest.
My God, My God -- why have you forsaken me?
This went on for several months, this knowing but feeling nothing of Him, but feeling all that weight of hell instead. It was like having a husband you love, but never seeing him. You might see evidences of his presence from time to time: a plate with food left on it that you know is not yours, or his shirt hung over the chair. Perhaps you hear his footsteps echoing in another room or detect his scent on the pillowcase next to yours. He might leave you a note saying, "I love you," but it's been ages since you heard him speak those words to you in person. You know he's there, but you never see him. You have forgotten the shape of his face under your hand, and how his fingers feel interlaced with yours.
That is how it felt with me and God -- like the relationship that was supposed to be the most intimate and important of all relationships had been all but abandoned. I was doing my part, and it seemed that He was failing to hold up His end of the bargain.
I had been walking with Christ long enough to know that just because I didn't feel Him didn't mean He wasn't present. I prayed, I continued to attend Mass regularly and participate in the sacraments. I continued to open the pages of Scripture to read and to study. I recognized and thanked Him for the things He provided. My faith and my devotion were not built on feelings, after all. I reasoned that perhaps I was feeling too many other things to feel Him. I thought that maybe the unending, infinite grief in our lives had crowded out my very finite ability to sense the supernatural. I thought that maybe when the raging sea died down to a calm, that I would perceive at least a shaft of sunlight and in it, the God whose presence I craved.
Frankly, I was surprised when I didn't. I grew increasingly frustrated with trying to make sense of what felt like His prolonged and unmistakable absence -- trying to take something that felt so horrible and painful and make it out to be good and loving somehow. Oftentimes, having no words for my prayer, I would take to Him an image of me holding out my heart in front of him: dripping, shredded beyond repair, throbbing limply and weakly with what little life remained. Nothing ever happened, though. He never came and held me, never took my heart in His hands to mend it. He left me there, holding it with cupped palms and outstretched arms that ached and burned with its weight. It didn't matter how much I begged. He never took it from me, and never stretched out His hand to heal it.
It started to feel like I was making excuses for Him. It was infuriating.
I gave myself pep talks about keeping up faith despite my feelings. I knew with certainty what was true -- though in different ways, I had experienced enough crucible moments prior to Ewan's death to doubt His love and care for us in this one. But my fury grew, and I was having an increasingly difficult time understanding how His seeming absence could be for my good, or how it could be loving to leave me alone in the middle of a wide sea, heart dying in my own hands, when He had the power to save me.

"Train a child in the right way, and when she is older, she will not stray from it…" – Proverbs 22:6
So I have been spending much time, thought, and prayer into this question of what it means to live fully. And today I have one clearly defining answer. Because today, I celebrate my oldest child's 13th birthday.
We began this day like all other birthdays in our house. With a celebratory breakfast, presents, and cake (or in her case, pie) for breakfast. We do this for all of us, because, maybe like some of you, we may not all be home together for dinner. A sad commentary, but a reality in our busy lives. So breakfast it is.
And for this all-important move into adulthood, one of her gifts was a brand new investment account, all her own, with cash ready for her to learn how investments work. We will spend the precious few years we have left with her (ONLY FIVE!!!) teaching her how to manage her own portfolio.
When my son, 11, asked me if he too would receive his own account at 13. I told him that, yes, that was my plan. As he began planning what he would do with his "riches," I explained something very important to him. And I realized that it is one of my highest callings in this life.
I explained that we would not just be "giving him money." But, instead, as his mom, it was my calling to teach him and his sister three critical things in this life before they leave home:
If I do those three things, then I will have prepared them for life. Because everything else flows from these three disciplines: compassion, good relationships, good citizenship, independence, good decision and problem-solving skills – the list goes on.
Some of you may disagree, and that's ok. But for me, it is crystal clear that I don't have a lot of time left. And I have a lot teach about daily life, along with the spiritual and the relational. And I don't believe that God would have given me these two gifts without expecting me to make caring for them my top priority.
A side note, I don't believe that caring for them means doing everything for them. I believe it means teaching them to do for themselves. I believe it means creating an environment where I model how to live a disciple's life, and encourage them to develop their own faith. It means making sure they can cook their own meals, clean their own homes, and make their own doctor appointments. It means helping them to learn to deal with difficult people, disappointing circumstances, and hard choices. And yes, it means teaching them to work for what they get and to take care of it once they have it.
This might not seem like a great life ambition to some. But to me, with only FIVE YEARS left, it seems pretty sacred. From here on out, I will live as a teacher.
"I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved; and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. I came that they might have life and have it abundantly. I AM the Good Shepherd." John 10:9-11
It has been a couple of years since my last post. Seminary, work, raising kids has taken all I had to give for quite some time. But praise God I finally finished seminary. And I was fortunate enough to become provisionally ordained in the United Methodist Church a couple of months ago. And I find myself finally able to breathe again after years of stress and deadlines. My mind is opening up, and my soul is renewing. And today, I felt like reconnecting through this channel. I love engaging with folks this way. At one time, there were many that shared thoughts, prayers, and reflections through this venue, that would have otherwise, never have met. I would very much like to see that again.
I am in a stage of transition. And those times can be difficult. They are confusing, and some days I don't know what to do with myself. But God is always there speaking. So I thought I would share what He is saying to me now. My friend, Shannon Hancock, posted this on her yoga FaceBook page a few days ago. And it was exactly what I needed to hear:
"You have mastered survival mode. Now it's time to live."
Wow. That hit me so profoundly because that is what my therapist has been pounding into our conversations for the past few months. You may think that is funny. Me too. But the fact is, I have lived in survival mode for most of my life; always working as hard as I possibly can, always worrying about the next thing; never being truly at peace. Always, always striving toward the next thing…
But now my gracious Savior is speaking something new into my life. He tells me it's time to stop surviving and start living. I honestly don't know what that exactly means. But I am really looking forward to spending the rest of my days listening and finding out. He is giving me the most gracious gift of this transition time, and he is speaking peace into my soul.
So I am going to listen deeply, share what I hear, and hope to be an encouragement to my brothers and sisters out there that might be seeking the same.
My Good Shepherd,
All glory and honor and praise to You, my Lord. You lead me beside still waters, You make me lie down in green pastures because I don't have the sense to do it myself, You restore my soul. Teach me to live and live well. Show me the abundance You create for me. Quiet my mind from everything that pulls me deeper into the world, and help me to learn what it means to truly live instead of just survive.
So, it's springtime in Alabama. Flowers are blooming everywhere, birds are singing… I am existing on a healthy diet of Zyrtec, Mucinex, and Robitussin… I love spring but hate allergy season. How can I feel as if I am drowning at the same I am so thirsty and can't speak? Antihistamines are ok I guess, but I have been walking around feeling severely dehydrated for about a week. So I am constantly looking for something to drink.
I was meditating this morning over Jesus hanging on that cross. He said so few words, however, one thing He said stays with me: "I thirst."
Of course he was thirsty, between the blood loss from flogging, the physical exertion of carrying the cross, and the ever-present dust in that desert, I can imagine his thirst was like nothing I have ever experienced. It had to be torturous.
So I stayed with that image for a while, thinking about his reason for willingly being there. – So I wouldn't have to. Plain and simple. My Savior decided to go through that torture so that I would not experience the price for my sins. How do I make peace with that?
Just for kicks, I walked around my house looking for liquid. Orange juice? bottled water?? Hmm. 3 kinds of gatorade… sweet tea? YUM! There it is… Dr. Pepper! YES! Ahhhh, I am a new person.
I had over 17 different beverage choices in my house to quench that thirst this morning. 17! And had never thought twice about what a luxury I had. Some people might find themselves feeling guilty for it. "There was Jesus hanging on a cross for me, with no water to drink. Here I am a sinner, with more than I can consume… How awful is that?"
But I don't think those words were given to us in the Bible to make us feel guilty. I believe they had another purpose. Jesus tells us in John chapter 10 that He came, "So we could have life and have it abundantly." He didn't say, that we were going to have to scrape the dismal ground to get by. (Although, I feel like I have been there too at times…)
No friends, much like a parent, Jesus chose to sacrifice Himself, and He wants better for us. I don't think He begrudges us some of the little pleasures in life. However, that is not the message I get from this scripture either.
What I take away from that passage is that Jesus was human. He understood our most basic physical needs, more so than some of us. And in His grace and mercy, He wants to provide them for us. We may never be wealthy, but I do believe He wants to shower us with necessities and extravagances (every now and then…) because He loves us that much. He wants us to trust Him to provide. He wants us to run to Him with our worries and needs. What is stopping us friends?
Do we fear rejection? Do we fear showing weakness? Do we fear that He is unable to provide for us?
Do yourself a favor. Walk around your home. Pay attention to the small things that make your life good, easier, more comfortable… Then consider the source of all your gifts and ask yourself, "What should I be asking for?" "Is there something else He wants to give me?" Joy, Peace, Contentment… He is the giver of all good gifts. He is faithful to supply our every need if we leave it in His hands.
Heavenly Father,
Forgive us when we don't notice the multitude of good things you send our way. Help us to be aware of your presence in our lives and homes. Speak to us in ways that we can understand, and lead us into a more trusting relationship with You. Thank You, Lord, for all the things we don't even see.
In Christ's name we pray,
"I thank my God every time I remember you,…" – Philippians 1:3
I was returning home this morning from taking my kids to school, and I was flooded by memories of my grandmother. That was kind of surprising, but I stopped my car in the driveway and just let the memories flow. I have to admit, I don't think of her that often. She passed away 15 years ago, a lifetime considering how far I have traveled down life's path in that period.
But, as I sat there, the biggest smile came to my face and heart as I remembered specific encounters with her. She was not a television caricature of a grandmotherly figure. She wasn't a sweet, little old lady making cookies every afternoon. However, she did make a chocolate cake to die for.
Instead, my grandmother had a hard edge to her. No doubt, she was a result of her upbringing during the Depression and such. I knew she loved me fiercely, but not in a warm and fuzzy kind of way. She took bluntness to an almost offensive level. She never sugar-coated anything. She always spoke the truth (as she saw it,) and never seemed to take your feelings in account when doing so. (Memories of "He's just not that into you…" are flooding through my mind.). She wasn't malicious, just honest.
She was the hardest worker I have ever met in my life. She was always working. If not at her job, then in her garden, her kitchen, anywhere she was, needed something done. She rose at 5:30 each morning, cooked breakfast and set off to work. And she didn't stop until late that evening.
She occupied herself with caring for my brother and me. I just realized this morning what a stabilizing presence she was for us in what, many times, was and unstable childhood. I spent every weekend with her from the age of ??? until I was 15. Weekends filled with favorite foods, favorite tv shows, and anything else I wanted. I remember distinctly going to the dime store for banana icees and lollipops bigger than your head. She took me to see my first movie, Snow White, when I was around 6. She read me the same book before bed for years, because it was the one I wanted.
Living in a small town, all our high school ball games were broadcast on the radio. So even when she couldn't make it to a basketball game, I knew she had sat by her radio listening, because later, she would discuss what the announcers had to say about my performance. She probably didn't understand everything she heard, but her heart was there.
She sure didn't mind sharing her opinions about the people I dated. And she was wide open on stressing the dangers of drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, wild parties and the backseats of cars! Nothing was off limits for her.
But here was the greatest things about her: she loved me, no matter what. She had this unconditional love that was steadfast, never-wavering, and always looking out for my best interest. I am convinced that she would have loved me the same whether in her living room or visiting me in prison. I won't say she always believed the best about me, her honesty made sure of that. She never thought I was perfect, however, regardless of where I was in life, she loved me anyway.
What a perfect model for understanding my Savior. I can understand His love for me, because I have experienced it with her. I believe in His unchanging love and ever-flowing grace because I have experienced it with her. And, like my grandmother, Jesus is self-sacrificing, always looking out for my best interest. He is my safe harbor in the midst of the storm and the place that I run to when in need someone to love me unconditionally. Just like her.
I hope that you have someone in your life that represents that kind of love. If you do, maybe spend some time remembering today. Or even better, if they are still with us, call them up and say thank you. God places those "channels of grace" in our lives to bless us. May we be forever thankful for them.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for my grandmother. Thank you for reminding me of her today, and showing me how very much I was loved as a child. What some wonderful memories. Help me to love with the same steadfastness as she did. And lead me to be a grace dispenser to those most important in my world.
In Jesus' name I pray,
"Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he said, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?" He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live." – Luke 23:25-28
So, according to Jesus, this is the key to life. The greatest commandment. But what does it mean? How can I love God with everything I have? As a good friend reiterated to me a couple of days ago, "You can't give an "A" effort to everything." And she is right.
So how does my devotion to God work with family, work, school, and all the other things that are important in life? I don't have all the answers, but I do think I took a step closer to understanding this week.
First of all, I work for a church. I have the great privilege of working with a whole group of holy people, of which I am the very, very least. But their influence is good on me. So you would think I would be on top of things spiritually, but to tell the truth, I am not.
For Lent, our church offered a do-at-home, Bible study for families. I admit, my family has never done an actual Bible study together (CHURCH WORKER ALERT!). My only consolation is that possibly some of my dentist friends have children with cavities. But my spiritual failings as a parent are not at issue here (maybe??.)
So we decided we would be faithful and do the study together. It is on the Gospel of John. Things started off wonderfully. We sat down after dinner Sunday night, opened our Bibles, and one by one, began to read chapter 1.
It was amazing! I can't tell you how wonderful it was to sit there, for over an hour, with my children and listening to their thoughts about these sacred words. I was inspired by their depth of knowledge (Thank you Sunday School Teachers!) and their eagerness to be there. I was so thankful that we were doing this together. Surely this was something that would be easy to continue for the remainder of Lent, for we all enjoyed it so. This would be great!
Then Monday happened. We got up, rushed to work and school, ran home, started laundry, started dinner, started homework…. And as we were cleaning up for dinner, the thought occurred to me, "We all feel terrible, it's late, we will just skip tonight and catch up tomorrow." The truth was, allergies and some other issues had hit us hard that day, and we did all feel pretty much like doing nothing. Plainly put, I was just weary and in a bad mood. It wouldn't hurt to miss a night. We will catch up.
However, my ailing children had other ideas. We were going to do that Bible study, sniffles, sneezes, coughs and everything else! I am ashamed to say that I tried to talk them out of it; reasoning that we all needed our rest. They would have none of it.
So out the Bibles came. We read, prayed and discussed. And it was wonderful. It renewed my soul. I had fun with my kids, again listening to what their thoughts were. We held hands and prayed. We not only prayed for our own needs, but some of those we knew of in the community. It was the best thing I had done in a long time. And I don't know if the kids enjoyed it so much because we were doing something together, or if they were just that excited to read the Bible. But either way, their enthusiasm was contagious. I was thankful they had insisted. Because, with just a little resistance, I was more than willing to let that opportunity pass us by.
So, what does the scripture above mean for me? By not allowing ourselves to focus on the negative, (We can't because….,) we were blessed. By staying with the positive (We will, regardless…) my soul was refreshed with new life. It wasn't easy, it took what seemed to be the last of my strength that day. But Jesus was there and He was faithful. I think I am beginning to see…
Peace my friends.
Most gracious Lord,
Thank you for continuing to strengthen and encourage my family. Our hearts are willing, but our minds are weak. Forgive me, for putting all other things first. Have mercy on me, and continue to lead me into faithfulness, especially when it isn't easy. Thank you, for your work in my children's lives. Help me to live as a better example and teacher for them.
In your precious name I pray,
"Father forgive them, they don't know what they are doing…" – Luke 23:35
One of my most favorite activities is a Monday morning contemplative prayer group that meets at our church. It is a time of deep reflection and conversation with God. I was there this morning and had such an experience that I just had to share it with my brothers and sisters.
Our meditation this morning was on Luke 23:35. Those unforgettable words of grace that Jesus spoke from the cross, "forgive them…" Our meditation to begin this Lenten season was the question,
"Lord Jesus, make me aware of anything I have done unknowingly to create a barrier between us."
A great beginning of conviction, confession and repentance for the season.
I left our prayer chapel and begin walking into the back yard of our church. I had a special place in mind to go and contemplate the vastness of Christ's grace. Almost skipping along, I was praising my Jesus because, as the good Christian I am, I always try to do the right thing. I would NEVER intentionally sin (right???) But my Savior, Jesus, he has my back. Even when I, UNKNOWINGLY, make a mistake He is right there to forgive and forget. So all is good and I can go merrily on my way. I serve a great God.
So I prayed my prayer, asking Him to forgive me of my unknown faults and looked forward to sitting out on a bench with Him telling me what great job I was doing. But something else happened. As I walked across the back yard, I was strongly re-routed to our prayer trail. I physically somewhat felt a force saying, "go here." So I turned up the hill and encountered something that stopped me in my tracks. Our trail is lined with scripture signs, all chosen by our church family when the church building was erected nearly 10 years ago. Each one coming from the heart of God. This is the sign to which he led me:
Well that is a bucket of cold water on my good mood! At first I wanted to protest. I don't judge people. I am a grace-filled Christian that loves everybody. All my friends tell me so!
But, in my heart, I know that is not true. In my heart, as I stood there, listening to what my Lord had to say to me, I knew that He was speaking truth. I am doing my best, yes, but I still have so far to go if I am to be the person He wants me to be. He calls me to be a grace dispenser in the world; to show every person the love He has for them. I fear I may never get there. But I trust in that vast grace to catch me when I fail.
These types conversations with Jesus are not easy, and they are rarely pleasant. But friends, they are so necessary. I want to walk with Jesus. I want to have a real relationship with Him. But that means getting past the superficial conversations that help me to pretend I'm OK. That means listening when He tries to point me in the right direction, and not protesting that I am already there. It means letting go of my pride, and clinging to grace offered me by His divine perfection. By protesting my innocence, I live a lie. But I am only lying to myself, because He already knows my heart and my attitudes. The road to true humility is a hard one friends.
Let's do ourselves a favor for the next few weeks, beloveds. Let's take off the masks. Let's approach Jesus in all honesty and humility and just listen to what He has to say. I believe in doing so, we can be transformed as never before. Let this be our new beginning…
Lord Jesus,
Your grace is incomprehensible. I like to think of it as a warm, fuzzy blanket. But today, in your righteousness, it is more a cold shower of reality. Speak to my heart, Lord. And keep speaking until it is changed. Cloak me in humility, so that I might listen instead of reject you. I praise You. For You are the God of second chances. Thank you for never giving up on me.
In Your holy name I pray,
"I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love.
With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself."
Jeremiah 31:3
As we come fully into our journey this Lenten season, I have one piece of advice.
Hopefully, through prayerful consideration, you have made some decisions as to how you will drawn near to Christ over the next six weeks. Some of us will give something of value up: fasting, resources, time, etc. Some of us will take on a new activity: Bible study, prayer time, or serving.
Whatever the Spirit has led us to, it will be good. However, I want to remind us all why we are making such efforts (outside our norms) for this time. These activities are, each one, a means of grace; a way for our Lord in heaven to reach out to us. They are channels that He will use to speak with us, to transform us, and change our hearts.
Notice I said, "He will use…" This is an important point. Don't miss it. When we make choices to change our behavior, many times those changes become an eventual burden, a means for disappointment in ourselves and an eventual feeling of failure. Much like the proverbial New Years resolution, most of the time within a few weeks we give up and feel a sense of "why even try, I can't do this…"
However, spiritual practices are the exact opposite of New Years resolutions. Spiritual practices are led and fueled by the Holy Spirit; not our own resolve. They are God's way of ministering to us. They are not some test of will He demands of us to test our faithfulness. They are an expression of His perfect faithfulness toward us.
So, my friends, when the inevitable happens: you miss your prayer time, you don't have time to read your Bible, you eat the cake… Don't beat yourself up, and don't give up. Accept the grace that is being offered to you by our loving Father, and try again. He will stay with you. And He won't judge you for slip ups. He applauds you for your efforts, and runs to meet you wherever you are. You are beloved, not condemned.
Consider this, Lent is a great starting point for a lifetime of walking closely with our Savior. It isn't a one and done proposition. Let this time be one of permanent transformation. And don't worry, God has promised to do the heavy lifting for you. Just relax, soak in the blessings, and do the best you can. Our God is faithful to pick up the pieces when we fall. Remember this is a time of powerfully over-flowing grace; not one of condemnation. Embrace your weakness and accept all the love that God wants to give you.
With much grace my friends.
Beautiful Savior,
You do love me with an everlasting love. How can I thank you for this? I am overwhelmed by your faithfulness toward me. Help me, Lord, to follow You more faithfully this Lenten season. Show me what I should do, and empower me to do it. Thank you for not holding my failed attempts against me. And help me to remember, that my strength always comes directly from You.
In Your almighty name I pray,

The good news comes on the countdown to McGraw's much anticipated new studio album, "Emotional Traffic," being released by Curb Records tomorrow. The single is included in the new package.
The song reached number one on the country charts in January 2011 and stayed three for three consecutive weeks. A collaborative creative effort from songwriters Brett Beavers, Jim Beavers and Brett and Brad Warren, Felt Good On My Lips was produced by McGraw and long-time producer Byron Gallimore.
McGraw and the label are engaged in a court battle. Thus far, McGraw is free to sign with another record label, although more court action is coming later this year.

Five Steps to Take Today
Swap tailpipes for pedals: Bike or walk instead of driving, especially for trips less than two miles, which comprise 40 percent of all car trips. A study in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that if everyone did this in just 11 cities in the Midwest, not only would carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions fall, but it would extend 1,300 lives and save $8 billion in healthcare costs due to better air quality and less sedentary lifestyles.
Eat less red meat: Producing red meat results in five times more climate-warming emissions per calorie than chicken, pork, dairy or eggs, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. It also creates 11 times more emissions than the production of potatoes, wheat or rice. Eating less red meat can also decrease an individual's risk of certain cancers.
Encourage hospitals and doctors' offices to go green: The healthcare system is responsible for about 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, according to a recent study in [source.] Hospitals in Boston recently slashed their overall emissions by 29 percent.
Plant more trees: As they grow, trees remove carbon dioxide from the air. Being around green space has also been shown to boost mental and cognitive health.
Show compassion: Americans, per capita, emit six times more CO2 than the global average, while U.S. lower-income populations and those in developing countries are often hit hardest by the health impacts. "Those most vulnerable to the health impacts of climate change are often the least responsible," says Jonathan Patz, a medical doctor who directs the Global Health Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Doing something about this is a matter of compassion."

In life Robin McFarland checked all the boxes: daughter, sibling, wife, mother, teacher and surrogate mother to her many students.
However, the one that she was most noted for at Desert Palms was Christian Educator. She was always involved in Bible classes, either as a teacher or attendee. Her passion for Christian Education was unending.
As a junior and senior high teacher she taught both French and English in the San Jose, California, school district, while also serving as the Director of Christian Education for Folsom Presbyterian Church. Robin held the same job at Christ Presbyterian Church in Crown Point, Indiana, where she and her husband Ray lived during one of Ray's many job relocations. Robin took active roles in her churches while they lived in Australia, Colorado, Utah and Arizona.
Robin's time at Desert Palms was unique. She and Ray joined in 1998, but left in 2003 to move back to Colorado so Ray could accept a job that would fund their retirement travel budget. In 2008 they returned to Arizona and Desert Palms and began a travel regimen that would include twenty cruises. Robin continued her passion for Christian Education by serving on the Session as head of that committee for several years. She also served on the Presbytery's Commission on Ministry.
Ray has generously donated the money to create the named scholarship in honor of his late wife to recognize her great passion for education. This is the tenth named scholarship that has been created under our endowment program. We have twenty-two young people enrolled in the community colleges this semester receiving varying levels of support.
A named scholarship is a way to honor yourself or a loved one. We control our assets while we are alive, but once we die that control is passed to someone else.
Please consider creating a named scholarship while you can and see the tremendous difference Desert Palms makes in the lives of these young individuals as they create the base for their future employment.

Petrol ban as UK's first 'mini' ULEZ zone goes live in London | NEWS
If you've been paying attention over the last couple of years you'll have seen various stories on SLUK about ULEZ, this isn't a derogatory term aimed at ladies who like ladies. This is serious stuff that will impact many of us in the future, ULEZ is an acronym for Ultra Low Emission Zone. An area where you'll have to pay £12.50 per day if you'd like to ride (or drive) a non-compliant vehicle in a ULEZ zone and in some cases you won't be able to drive a polluting vehicle at all.
If that's not worrying enough, the first 'mini' ULEZ area was rolled out in London earlier this week with a blanket ban on fossil-fueled vehicles at certain times of day, meaning unless you own a zero-emission vehicle you won't be able to drive (or ride) through certain areas of Hackney/Shoreditch during peak times, unless you want a fixed penalty notice and a fine of up to £130.
Low Emission Neighbourhood
Yes, that's right, the first petrol/diesel free roads have arrived thanks to three local council's joining forces to create a Low Emission Neighbourhood, or LEN for short. With funding from the Mayor of London's Air Quality Fund they aim to reduce air pollution, and improve the look and feel of the neighbourhood by reducing congestion and parked vehicles, whilst also encouraging cycling and walking.
£5 million in funding
The Mayor has given £1 million (each) to five LENs including Shoreditch (City Fringe), Marylebone, Barbican and Greewich Town Centre. These five projects will be operational by April 2019, with Shoreditch (above) coming in to use earlier this week.
An estimated 10,000 Londoners die every year as a result of poor air quality in the city (according to a 2015 study by Kings College London) and rates for childhood asthma and other respiratory illnesses are on the rise.
LEN times
When I was a youngster, Lenny was a former TV star you didn't want to meet in the swimming baths, LEN takes on a new even scarier meaning in the 21st century. Restrictions started in the Shoreditch area on Monday 3rd September 2018 and are in place Monday to Friday from 7am-10am and 4pm-7pm (main commuter times) in the designated zones. The fines are being enforced using ANPR cameras and signs have been erected at all entrances to the two zones.
Am I affected?
If you drive through the designated streets in zone 1 or 2 then yes you'll be affected. Unless of course you have a ULEV – Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (like the electric Retrospective Scooters Vespa conversion we rode recently). A ULEV vehicle includes 100% electric and hydrogen, also some of the very least polluting hybrids (a ULEV vehicle has to make less than 75g/km CO2).
Check your vehicle
You can visit the following website to check if your scooter/car will make the ULEZ grade: Is my scooter too smoky?
Historic exemption
Interestingly historic vehicles are (so far) exempt from the forthcoming ULEZ, so if you own a classic with 'Historic' tax status you will still be able to ride in a ULEZ zone (from April 9th 2019 when ULEZ is rolled out in Central London) without being charged. This doesn't apply to LEN though, he won't be able to drive or ride in a LEN zone during restricted hours on his petrol-powered vehicle.
If your scooter is pre-Euro 3 (made before 2005) but doesn't have a Historic tax class you'll be charged £12.50 a day if you accidentally stray into a ULEZ zone. Using the vehicle checker, my 2002 PX and 1999 Italjet Dragster are both subject to ULEZ. My historic 1958/'61/'62 scooters are exempt (for the time being).
Tightening the noose
Like us, many of our readers are dedicated petrolheads and Europe is entering a very scary time. Our major cities are slowly but surely tightening the noose, making life harder for us. Either through the widespread use of biofuels (ethanol) or by restricting what and where we can and can't ride. Barcelona has recently introduced its own Urban Access Regulations, it's being phased in slowly but from the 1st of December 2018 pre-Euro 2 motorcycles/scooters will be banned from 7am-8pm. Paris (and a few other French cities) already has restrictions, Amsterdam will have a blanket ban on polluting vehicles soon and the rest of Europe is following quickly.
The electric generation
A bike journalist friend recently remarked that his four-year-old son was currently riding a mini electric bike and that he'd more than likely end up replacing that with the next size up electric trials bike when the time came. He also told me that his son would probably grow up NEVER riding a petrol-powered bike (despite his dad racing and testing superbikes all over the world). That really is the generation we're entering. It's up to us to keep riding our smoky two-strokes (and four-strokes) as far and wide as we can whilst we still have a chance. One day visiting and riding through London, or overseas cities on a classic scooter will be nigh on impossible and sadly that day isn't too far off.
Have you been affected by this story?
Sadly there are no helplines, rehab institutions or Government-backed programmes to help wean us off our fossil fuel addiction. If you'd like to vent your anger, or get something off your chest please feel free to comment below.

Warrior of Reciprocity
We Warriors are wired to work hard. Say that 10 times fast!:) That's true in business and often in life. I wonder, though, if it's how we should be showing up in the world. I wonder if the world wants a different way. Is it really how we get what we are striving for? My sense is that there's a new way of being arising. A way to get all we want out of our lives without it being so hard. Come explore this idea with me.

Yesterday we had an ultrasound at 21 weeks. Due to the switch from my OBGYN to the Midwives there was a delay in getting the 20 week ultrasound. I had been on pins and needles lately wondering if this baby was a boy or a girl. I think deep down my gut told me it was a boy. I never allowed myself to care one way or the other. Anyone who really knows me would say they have heard me say over the years that I only wanted boys – and that if I were to have a girl "I would send her back!" Honestly, if it had been a girl I would have been just as happy. But, I really am in love with the idea of being Mama bear to my house full of boys. I like to tell myself that boys are just easier and there will be less to worry about but in truth I know that's not exactly true. There will be plenty of things to worry about and they will be susceptible to plenty of trouble. I expect we will just have a lot more filth, stench and general grossness in our house.
William is not old enough to understand what is about to happen in his house but I feel confident that he will be so happy to have a little brother so close in age. I pray that they grow up with the relationship I had with my older sister, Whitney. My fondest memories of childhood are the times we spent playing in our room or running around outside together. I always had a friend to play with, giggle with, and get into trouble with. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world and something tells me William will feel the same.

Introduction: Knife Making Early Start
I started grinding steel into sharp tools when I was 12 or 13 years old. There was not a lot of information available at the time and most was learned by trial and errors. I still have my first knife, it was a broken file that I ground a point on the break and beveled one edge to sharp. Over time I ground the file teeth off, sanded and polished the blade so it looked more like a knife than a sharpened file. At the time all I had access to was a bench grinder arbor type with a old washing machine motor for power the wheel was 8" diameter and was 24 grit.
The smaller kitchen knife was made for my grandmother, she had arthritis in her hands and did not grip a normal handle well, so I made a thicker handle so she could control it. It was used for about 15 years. The next is a chefs/clever style knife made from a lawnmower blade and had a thick walnut handle. This one was used for about 12 years. I also made a paring style knife, but this one disappeared after she passed away?
The long slender knife was made from a 12" file and the handle is automotive body filler (Bondo). It is not flexible, but it fillets fish very well. The sheath is corrugated cardboard folded and stapled.
All my early knives were ground from hardened steel, since I did not know much about heat treating or steel types. I used steel that was already a cutting tool.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Samples of Today
Today I have a fairly complete shop for knife making, a coal forge, gas forge, plasma cutter, electric knife heat treating furnace, 3 bench grinders, 1x30 bench belt grinder, 1x42 bench belt grinder, 2x30 belt grinder, 2x42 belt grinder, 6x48 with 9 disc sander/grinder, 12 disc sander/grinder, several angle grinders 4-1/2", 6" grinder. 8" grinder. Am currently building a 2x72 belt grinder.
When I heat up the forge I make several blades that I grind when I need a present or just need to relieve stress. The blades above are one leaf from a rear spring of a 1960's pickup truck. I made 4 other large ones that were given away. The finished knife is made from the same spring, the handle is walnut with brass rivets, the sheath is handmade, This knife was made as a demonstration for a friend that wanted to make a knife for his son. He made the knife with the blue back ground. The steel is a high tech stainless steel that is used by one of the major knife makers.
I have also had a boy scout troop forge knives (letter openers) from railroad spikes that they provided. Usually I have 4 scouts and their leader. They are divided into two groups, one heats while the other forges the hot steel. They take turns holding and hammering. These are not fancy just forge the pointed end flat and rough shape it to a knife form. Then they grind the final shape and bevel. The spike is then heated red hot and quenched in oil and tempered at 400 degrees. Lastly they sharpen there prize. If they want they can wrap the handle with para cord. The leaders also made their own knives
Step 2: Bubble Jig to Get Consistant Bevels
The above web site sells an aid for getting a consistent bevel angle on a knife. It takes practice to get a good looking bevel ground on a blade. I found this device makes it possible for a beginner to get a satisfactory bevel the first time. The jig consists of a bracket that you attach to the blade, then you choose the angle block you want to use on the blade. The level has a magnet that attaches to the bracket and the level is adjusted to be level when the blade is held at the chosen angle. Then you grind the blade keeping the level bubble level while grinding. You make 5 passes on one side and then flip the magnet to the other side of the bracket and grind another 5 passes on the other side. You continue until the blade is ground to the desired form. Then a finer belt is put on the grinder to get a more polished surface. This is continued until the desired finished is achieved.
This device is a very good training tool for the beginner and is nice to the more advanced maker also.
There are various fixtures to control the bevel angle, but I find this much more simple to use and is not limited by the blade shape.
Step 3: Knife Sharpener
After the blade is formed, heat treated and polished, and it needs to be sharpened. I have hand sharpened many blades and can get them razor sharp by hand, but this is not a great use of time and beginners just do not have the skill level to get their creation sharp.
I saw this sharpener at a craft festival and was impressed how quickly it sharpened the dullest knives. (it is not recommended for serrated blades) I wished for several years and finally broke down and ordered one, wish I had ordered it sooner. The sharpener is a slow speed belt grinder 800 feet/minute vs 3000 plus for a 2x72 grinder. The blade is clamped in an aluminum vise that has preset legs (screws) at either 20 (kitchen knives), 25(general use pocket knives), or 30 (cleavers or hunting knives) degrees blade angle and there is a step on the white plastic guide to give a 3 degree micro bevel on the blade.
The process is clamp the blade, then install a 150 grit belt, locate the leg of the vise in the front groove and make a pass of the blade, turn the blade over and repeat, keep doing this until a wire edge is visible on both sides, then switch belts to 400 grit and repeat (usually 3 passes) until wire edge is visible, then move vise to rear groove, repeat grinding to visible wire edge, change to felt belt and apply jeweler's rouge to belt. This time you want to remove the wire edge, rear groove (2-3 passes per side). You now have a blade sharp enough to peal curls off a harbor freight flyer. The first time a knife is sharpened this takes about 5 minutes, after the first time it usually takes 2-3 minutes.
This unit is work on blades from about 1 inch to swords 3 feet, I sharpen box knife blades and exacto knife blades when I do not have a spare available. Also sharpen carving knives.
Step 4: Touchup Honing
Before I purchased the belt sharpener I used the Spyderco, I had been given a serrated Spyderco knife and needed a method of sharpening that knife. This sharpener works well on both straight blades and serrated. I keep this sharpener setting on my office desk and will hone my pocket knife after use. (letter opener) Also sharpen my wife's Cutco kitchen knives, she purchased before we got married.
This is one to the best hand sharpening systems, I have tried most of the others on the market and this one is simple to use and will sharpen serrated blades which none of the others do quickly or simply.
Step 5: 2x72 Homemade Belt Grinder
Am currently building a 2x72 grinder from these plans. Will probably do a separate instructable on the project. After the first is complete I have orders for 3 additional grinders from some of the previous students of my "school". The frame is made of plywood and I am using thread mill motors and controls so the belt speed can easily be adjusted. (watch Craigslist for cheap units sometimes free if belt is torn) Currently have all the parts cut and drilled will start assembly this week.
I hope you find this information educational. I have worked many years and started very simply. I have purchased items that were not good values and some were totally useless. These recommendations are made from experiences that have worked for me. I have no financial ties with any of these companies.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — A "South of the Border" theme party has stirred outrage at a Silicon Valley university after students showed up dressed as Hispanic janitors, gardeners, gangbangers and pregnant teens.
Photographs from the private, off-campus party organized by Santa Clara University students in late January appeared on the Internet soon afterward, prompting an outcry on campus.
One image shows a partygoer with a balloon stuffed under her shirt, making her appear pregnant. In another, a woman wears pink rubber cleaning gloves and carries a feather duster.
Paul Locatelli, president of the nearly 8,400-student university, has condemned the party. No students have been disciplined, but a campus spokeswoman said the school is investigating.
A protest march organized by students attracted 250 people, while the campus has held meetings and plans a forum.
"A lot of people have the idea that Mexicans or Latin Americans are all like that, and that's wrong," said Nadine Rasch, 18, a finance major from Guatemala, who did not attend the party.

Racecourse celebrating a hugely successful Qatar Goodwood Festival
With attendance figures once again well over 100,000 across the week and thirty seven races that all lived up to their top billing, the 2016 Qatar Goodwood Festival has been hailed a massive success.
Saturday's record crowd of 26,068 enjoyed fine weather through the afternoon, ensuring the week ended with everybody outside enjoying the famous views across the Downs. Over the week, 3,000 catering staff served 15,000 complimentary strawberries, three tonnes of potatoes and sold 9,000 bottles of champagne.
The sixth running of the Magnolia Cup on Thursday 28 July was described as 'magnificent' by many of those who witnessed the 12 lady riders race over five and a half furlongs. The race was won by British Eventing team rider Izzy Taylor on Alketios, who just got the better of TalkTalk CEO Dido Harding in one of the closest finishes in the race's history.
The race was run in front of a 23,332-strong Ladies' Day crowd, who were also treated to an impressive victory by Big Orange in the Qatar Goodwood Cup, his second consecutive win in the race. Michael Bell's popular stayer may well now return to Australia for another shot at the Melbourne Cup.
During a week where no race disappointed, the £1 million Qatar Sussex Stakes was contested by ten horses – twice the recent average – and produced a finish worthy of its prestige. Galileo Gold attempted to make all the running and ran a brave race, but ultimately it was The Gurkha and Ryan Moore who landed the spoils, coming with a perfectly timed run to triumph by a neck.
Moore was the Racing UK Leading Jockey at the Festival, claiming seven victories and proving once again why he is considered the world's best. He overcame trouble in running aboard Minding (seemingly a regular occurrence for the filly) to land the Qatar Nassau Stakes on Saturday.
As ever, fashion was a key element of 'Glorious' and Sarah Weston led the way, winning the L'Ormarins best-dressed competition on Friday. She will travel to South Africa in January for the L'Ormarins Queen's Plate as a guest of the sponsors.
Racing and entertainment returns to Goodwood from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 August with the August Bank Holiday fixture.

I am writing this letter to the editor in support of Woody Page for Vermont House of Representatives Orleans-2, (Newport, Newport Center, Coventry, Irasburg and a portion of Troy).
Woody was born and raised in Newport, he went to school in Newport and graduated from North Country Union High School and Norwich University before joining the U.S. Air Force attaining the rank of Major before retiring.
Woody has served the people of the United States, Vermont, and Orleans County his entire adult life.
He now wants to continue this tradition by serving us in the Vermont House of Representatives.
Woody Page understands the issues we face, like, out of control spending by the Montpelier liberals as well as their out of control taxing of hard-working Vermonters.
He will also fight to curtail unreasonable regulations which holds back both the expansion of existing businesses here in Vermont, as well as stopping new businesses from relocating here.
During the last biennium, there were 53 Republicans in the Vermont House, that means when the Governor vetoes a bill such as increases taxes, he needed 51 votes to sustain his veto.
This election cycle 17 Republicans are not seeking re-election, the Governor needs at least 51 Republicans to stand strong with him if we are to see taxes stay flat or better yet, reduced.
For all of the reasons I have mentioned, that is why we need Woody Page as our next State Representative in Montpelier.
Woody will work hard every day to represent us in Montpelier, I know he will do an outstanding job for us, and that is why I am voting for Woody Page in next weeks Primary.
I hope you do too.
Representative Gary Viens
Newport, Vt.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by the phrase 'utility-scale solar', but my understanding of the intent of that bill was to encourage dispersed solar. I believe it reauthorized the state installation subsidy, as well as the rate that utilities are required to buy the surplus at. Obviously solar is never going to be the largest source of energy for Minnesota, but neither did this bill require that. A 1.5% requirement would seem to be enough to allow it to be an option for individuals where it makes sense, but I doubt it will ever require a utility to develop any solar generation facilities.Silophant wrote: Of course they lobbied against the solar requirement. Utility-scale solar isn't ready for this climate. It's only happening in Germany because of massive, unsustainable subsidies.
And if you check the 2nd link I provided, you'll note that Xcel spent far more on lobbying against Colorado's renewable portfolio mandate than they have on any other single issue. Colorado had a relatively large solar component, but then they have some areas that are well-suited for large scale solar.
This is a petty argument, but Xcel covers a good half of the great plains. Probably Texas has more population than the rest of the great plains states put together. But anyway, I don't know how much credit you can give them for building those hundreds of million-dollar wind turbines when they were forced to do so by legislation that they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying against.Silophant wrote:Xcel hardly covers 'most of the great plains. Even if they did, though, they'd still have to invest in hundreds of million-dollar wind turbines.
As I wrote when we were discussing this a couple months ago, I'm leaning against municipalization here because of the timing, and the info Silophant provided about the location of the infrastructure is an additional strike against it. But it's always a good idea to explore public operation of natural monopolies so that the benefits can be used for a public purpose.
