Questionables to Your Unanswerables
From Mark, I won't ask if there's a God, but what is he like? And have you met him? Also, what is consciousness is a good question, but I'd really like to know what is the subconscious and unconscious, how do they operate, and can they be eliminated? Is it possible to be fully conscious?
All exteriors have an interior, however attenuated. Consciousness is the interior of the cosmos. It has been evolving along with the exterior for the past 13.7 billion years. One Western philosopher who emphasized this is Alfred North Whitehead. Although his magnum opus Process and Reality will be a bit much for most readers, his Science and the Modern World is quite accessible.
No, it is not possible to be "fully conscious," because our self-consciousness lives in the dialectical, generative space between the nonlocal, noumenal ground of consciousness-as-such and our evolved nervous system. Consciousness is refracted through the lens of this nervous system, and is as boundless and inexhaustible as our dream life. It generates constant novelty. In fact, consciousness is the reason why there is so much beautiful and meaningful novelty instead of mere chaos and ugliness. As you may have heard somewhere, all things were made through it, and without it nothing was made that was made. It shines in the dark, but the dorks don't comprehend it.
You cannot eliminate the unconscious, but you can have insight into destructive and self-defeating parts of yourself that have lodged there ("mind parasites"), while hitching a ride on the "higher" aspect of consciousness and using it to your--actually, its--benefit. As a matter of fact, the higher only operates if one approaches it with the utmost humility and sincerity, not to mention respect.
Consciousness extends vertically in both directions, toward a lower zero point of apparent infinite nescience to a higher zero point of empty plenitude. The idea is to orient yourself on the vertical plane toward the higher, and thereby generate what might be called "theologoumena" ("God phenomena," as opposed to surface phenomena or the unKnowable infinite noumenon). This is what it means to "be at play in the fields of the lord," or to experience "the joy of the harvest."
This is how you 1) "meet God" (so to speak) and 2) "find out what he's like." In the West, God operates through the Word. In the East, they say that the world is God's play, or lila. Thus, reality from God's perspective is a lot of extraordinarily clever wordplay. The world is actually made of language, but language is not of this world, if you know what I mean. Nor is our ability to comprehend the language. Both arise from the nonlocal Word--the world is intelligible because we are an image of the process that made it so.
I realized after I wrote this yesterday that it might sound a bit flip, but you must understand both "word" and "play" in the "broadest way imarginable," as Joyce put it. This is an idea with which I am currently playing at very diligently for my next book, and I will provide updates as they become available.
JWM asked, How do you define salvation? In our culture the term is most commonly associated with the Christian religion, but I have seen the term in Buddhist literature as well.
Do you have a definition that cuts across the differences in various religions? Is it up the same tree as enlightenment?
Salvation is spoken of in different ways in different traditions. I am of the belief that religion often involves metaphysics without knowledge. That is, embedded in any religious tradition are all sorts of metaphysical insights that are expressed in an obscure, ambiguous, symbolic, or mythological way. Thus, they have to be unpacked and understood.
What is salvation? From what do we need to be saved? I believe that the deeper meaning of the "fall" involves our entrance into the dimension of time. Time is not actually possible without eternity, but evolution is not possible without time. Therefore, we need to be saved from our apparent separation from the eternal, as we engage in our evolutionary sprint from monkey mind to divine mind.
For example, it is quite easy to fit Jesus into this paradigm. Adam's fall is the fall from timeless communion with God into the separative consciousness of duality and strife. Jesus represents the Universal Principle--the abstract absolute outside time and space--taking on particular form, the "concrete absolute." Thus, Jesus is the Ultimate made Particular, or word made flesh.
However, the Bible clearly teaches that we may share in this process--that it didn't just happen one time to one person. Rather, it perennially occurs in the eternal ground in which we participate at the deepest level. We may be sons of God "through adoption," and thereby be saved from the ravages of time, here and now. We may make the eternal present in us. But it must be "realized," because it is anterior to our surface being.
The Upanishads discuss the problem in a slightly different way, but I think it's the same idea: to disidentify with the local personality and see that atman and brahman are not-two.
That's a quick answer.
Is it up the same tree as enlightenment? Most definitely. The fully realized person has reversed the fall, or turned figure and ground inside out. He has reversed the vector flow that misleadingly draws consciousness downstream to the objects of the senses. In short, he has realized that the cosmos is tree with its roots aloft, its branches down here below. It's a Tree of Life for those whose wood beleaf.
Tamquam Leo Rugiens asked Back in October you had a series on Cosmic Solidarity in which you promised a continuation of the theme touching on Judaism and Christianity. It seems to have gotten as far as Swami Moishe, and there it ended. I would very much appreciate an explication leading into the Christian era.
Yes, I put the kibosh on that little series because it seemed to me that it was a little pedantic and wasn't generating much interest. The main point I would emphasize is that all religions, in my view, must be reconsidered in light of the sort of cosmic evolutionary paradigm outlined in my book or by people like Ken Wilber. With regard to the East, this has been most ably and exhaustively enunciated by Sri Aurobindo, who had the benefit of a Cambridge education and integrated Vedanta with the modern world. In the West, virtually the identical task was achieved by Teilhard de Chardin, whose Phenomenon of Man situated Christianity within a cosmic evolutionary scheme.
Both Aurobindo and Teilhard were pioneers and cosmic omsteaders who necessarily painted their symphonies with a somewhat broad brush. Aurobindo wrote his most important works in the nineteen-teens (before all of the implications of the quantum revolution had even been worked out), while Teilhard had most of his important insights in the 1920's, even though they were not published until after he died in 1959 because of church politics. (By the way, I'm sure someone like Pope John Paul would have been far more receptive to Teilhard's ideas.)
So our task is to fill in the details of the truly grand spectacle of cosmic evolution set forth by these two mighty explorers. So many philosophies are not worthy of man. Even if true in some small, technical sense of the term, they are false in their narrow ignorance of the upper reaches of the human soul and of the awesome adventure of consciousness--the only adventure there has ever been or will be.
KMac says I'm a lapsed atheist (broke away from the "religion" -- don't believe in a supreme being but know that there's more than what we can see, hear, and eat). I've been asked how I can say I don't believe that God created the universe -- I've answered that if God created the universe, what was God doing before then? Even that's absurd (i.e., what was God doing before there was time/existence) -- I routinely receive a curt "you shouldn't ask that question ..."
It is true that you cannot ask what God was doing "before" he created the universe. So much trouble is caused by our reliance upon language, which, in its superficial sense, is geared to the problems of matter, not consciousness, much less the ground of consciousness. We often mistake a deficiency of language for a key to truth. In order to discuss these deeper ontological questions, language must be deployed in a special, nonlinear, non-dualistic and poetic way. I attempted to achieve this in my book, whether successfully or unsuccessfully I cannot say (at least for others--it works for me). The ground of existence is ineffable, but not completely ineffin' so.
To disentangle this conundrum, you must understand the distinction between time and eternity. Eternity is not time everlasting, but timelessness. For reasons that I cannot completely elucidate here, time and eternity are actually aspects of one another--they are dialectically related. In one sense, time may be thought of as the serial deployment of something that lies outside time. Thus, it is not located "in the past," because no matter how far back you go, you are still dealing with chronological time. Rather, the only possible place it could be now. Again, not in a temporal now, but an eternal now. As it so happens the mysterious now, so inexplicable in terms of any model physics has ever come up with, is the intersection of time and eternity, and we are the self-aware locus where this occurs--where the vertical meets the horizontal.
I believe God is the universe -- and where it came from (or going, whether it's finite, infinite ...) - I have no idea; indeed, "God" is the most profound way to express that which a mere human can't know, unable to even form the question let alone answer it.
Of course God is the universe, but he is also radically beyond the universe. In order to understand fully, you must hold the paradoxical idea that God is both radically immanent and radically transcendent. And the immanence and transcendence extend infinitely in both directions.
Finally, a question (sorry for the preamble) - do you think common ground is possible between those who view The Bible as the literal word of God vs. allegorical text of the contemplation of God?
Yes, in the sense that the common ground is the Bible. It's like asking if there is common ground between people who believe a work of Shakespeare can be interpreted one way or another. Scripture is a very special kind of language that is hyperdense with meanings that correspond to whatever level of consciousness the exegete brings to it, from the simplest and most literal to the highest and most subtle. (One can easily relate religious understanding to, say, Piaget's stages of cognitive development. Earlier stages structure their knowing in one way, later stages in a completely different way.)
One must bear in mind that, ironically, the fundamentalist movement is a thoroughly modern development, having only gotten underway in the 20th century. It is actually simply a mirror image of, and reaction to, the metaphysically unsophisticated secular fundamentalism that surrounds us. The fundamentalist way of viewing the Bible would be entirely foreign to people like Denys the Areopagite, Meister Eckhart, John Scottus Eriugena, John Tauler, Nicholas of Cusa, and so many other Christian greats. They all regarded scripture as a sort of "kernel" that had an outer meaning that had to be penetrated, or "broken through." Indeed, the same can be said for the greatest of all Jewish theologians, Moses Maimonides.
This is actually what sets Christianity apart from Islam and makes it thoroughly compatible with an evolutionary paradigm. That is, Christianity evolves with our understanding of it, something that has always been standard doctrine until recent fundamentalist distortions. Islam, on the other hand, is set in stone in the 8th century. It is anti-evolutionary to the core (with the notable exception of Sufism).
Anonymous notes that he did "a lot of 'unpacking' in the sixties, but consider myself a recovering atheist now--happy in my state of suspended disbelief. I guess you could say I'm in denial of denial.
He continues:
Anyway, after reading your blog for the past few days, I can't believe I have the temerity to disagree with you, but my experience led me to conclude that deconstructing (or unpacking) religious belief left me essentially belief-less, unless you count my resulting atheism. My point and my question are the same: don't mystery and ambiguity have a place in religious tradition?
First of all, atheism is not a state of suspended belief, but a definite spiritual state. If spirituality may be understood as registering on a certain frequency of consciousness, atheism always resonates at a very specific frequency or "wave length" of the consciousness spectrum. In the end, it is simply a frank confession not of ignorance, but of "ignosis."
At least for me, "deconstructing or unpacking" religious belief does not result in belieflessness, but actually liberates consciousness from its enslavement to the literal. One is vaulted into a different space, the space from which the primordial mystery perpetually arises. What I have discovered, to my everlasting surprise, is that once in this space, one finds that it actually has its own very real characteristics and attributes. I know this because every day I receive confirmation from other explorers who see and experience the same thing. It's as if they are all setting voyage into an unknown sea but all returning with vaguely similar--sometimes strikingly so--descriptions of the flora and fauna on the other side. I can only reemphasize that this is most mysterious indeed.
The mapmaking continues. In fact, we've hardly begun. Look at it this way. Europe only made its way westward to the New World in 1492. The westward exploration continued until the late nineteenth century, when the frontier was closed. Then the exploration began delving "within" matter and time with Einstein's revolution, outward into space, and back to the origins of the material universe with big bang cosmology. The detailed exploration of the unconscious only got underway with the publication of Freud's Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. 21st century spirituality will involve more detailed mapping of the post-egoic realm, and situating it within the grand evolutionary epic in which we are the central players.

Thank you. I cleaned up most of the typos & added a little coda at the end.
Can the 10 commandments be put into evolutionary perspective?
Much of what you say seems like an exercise in linguistic metaphysics. 'Thou shall not murder' is direct as God can be.
Does the understanding change or does God's word stay the same today and always? When Christ says, He and He only is the Way, how can one be reconcilable to your 'one cosmos'?
Can you give an example of the evolving Word? Maybe I misunderstood your point?
Certainly there are multiple layers to Bible verses and education matters. One can be misled with false teachers.
All of this has been known since the time of Yeshua, its hardly evolutionary thinking today.
We should all be careful to pinhole 'fundamentalist'. Many of them know this already to be true and love the duality of word and verse meanings and many fundamentalist teachers readily use this device of teaching to peel away layers of understanding.
But its not some type of gnosis or esoteric understanding that is required. There are very simple laws for a reason such that - 'a child can understand them'.
The use of metaphysical underpinnings, gnosis, esoteric understandings are nothing new either.
For example, there is a reason marriage is held in high regard as opposed to single parenthood of either sex. This is called fundamentalism by many whereas Christ refers this truth back to the origin of God's creation.
I agree in response to secular humanist uprisings, a new Christian fundamentalism is arising as well. But this also is due to new avenues in media saavy by the old guard of Christian fundamentalist. They're learning how to fight fire with fire and are not afraid to do it. This battle is as old the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Personally, I've never been one to accept all religions/one cosmos theory movement. It ignores the obvious statements of each religion. I cannot talk for others, but in Christian doctrine and Judaism there is only one God and those who worship idols(i.e. wooden, gold and ornamental renderings made by the hand of man) are a clear abomination to God the Father of Torah and His Son, Christ Yeshua of the Gospels. There is no sharing amonst the religions. God is a 'jealous' God. And while some see this as 'fundamentalist' thinking, really its just the pure acceptance of belief in the teachings of Christ. Christ never said go and seek other ways to God.
How do you reconcile such language Or, do you ignore it? Do you teach that such language does not matter? Do you address such concerns at all?
Curious and thanks.... Michael

You raise some very thoughtful and important points. I will address them in a subsequent post, after finishing with yesterday's batch of questions.

bob & friends of bob -
i attempted to post a month or so back about a philosophical movement
(20th C? European? gads...run away!!)
that has/had what are no doubt aspects of mysticism to it.
i struggle to recall its "ism" accurately,
but the memory is of either "Anti-Nominalism" or Anti-Nomialism",
but my web searches haven't been conclusive.
[one imagines,just from the obscurity of the search, that it was a failure as a movement...
but wait...i feel it is at the root of a great deal of "Continental philosophy"...what i perceive as the nihilism of Deconstructivism and PostModernism,its bastard children...
"ANY interpretation is valid"..."NO words are possible"..."no MEANING is possible"
is the cry,imo, of the quitters and the hopeless...it is 180 degrees opposed to my understanding of the mystic view of the same issue of "Unspeakableness",which allows for the need of humility,acceptance,surrender....and wonder and joy...]
the visual referents would be images like Magritte's painting "Ceci ne'st pas une pipe"
(the painting of a pipe with a contradictory[?] title beneath it stating in French
"This is not a Pipe')
i recall it as a movement that was against ...what?
"naming things"??? verbal communication??
or simply that the Ulitmate is not circumscribed by words...
(perhaps rather only by "The" word).
this is germane to your post,
because the upshot is the idea that
"the word is not the thing"...(or maddeningly
the Word is THE WHOLE BALL of WAX).
but the downside is,
put negatively, "the word" is a ball of confusion....the confusion of Babel,
"profane",ie everyday speech and language.
the PoMos and the Deconstructivists,having banned God and Transendence,
have only this hopeless,repetitive Babel to feast themselves upon.
and the horror is they are word addicted!!!
there are simply to many megaphones and too many opinions...
what Castaneda's Don Juan and his descendant Miguel Ruiz called
"the mitote"....
"The mitote can be compared to a huge marketplace where thousands of people are talking at the same time, and nobody understands each other. This is the condition of the human mind - a big mitote, and with that big mitote we cannot see what we really are. In India they call the mitote maya, which means illusion."
- from don Miguel Ruiz
a common experience of this Internet thing
we've all likely had from time to time....
"the word" (small "w") as a "ball of confusion".
television does a great imitation of it too.
- gumshoe said...
....(the undiscussable topic i am Attempting to Discuss,ie the topic your post) is an understanding about transcendence,and imo,
is *not* at odds with "the Word" as Logos being "the All".
The Word is as different from Adam giving names to the various animals
as the Sun is from a bicycle.
"The Word"...is not any language
that can be put to paper or spoken daily.
it is the Ain Soph
of the Jewish mystics,
the All of the Hermetists,
the Nibbanna of the Buddhists,
the attainment of Zen adherents,
and on and on and on(and on)...
to quote jack johnson.
and it is essentially,
"Unspeakable",in that it is
not accessible via language.
the ego,the rational mind,
is unhappy with this state of affairs...
...words are its tools
to "belittle" Reality.
puns and poetry
powerful as they are,
are the dance that language does
in its presence.
hoping there was some coherence in
all that...
thanks for your patience -
- Gagdad Bob said...
I'll deal with you later. I don't think I've heard of the exact cult you describe, but I think I know what you're talking about.
- gumshoe said...
"I'll deal with you later. I don't think I've heard of the exact cult you describe, but I think I know what you're talking about."
it can be frustrating to try to discuss the Unspeakable,
and get no reply.
the "cult" as you say,
like many euro/academic
philosopies,is likely just the product of some bored profs
"updating" and re-interpreting the Perrenial Philosophy...a Cliff's Notes bastardization of the Unspeakable...
that PoMo and Deconstruction was(?)
he result could perhaps simply be "unintended consequences" or
"collateral damage".

not sure if you'll re-visit this thread,but i found some discussion
of the "Anti-Nomian/Anti-Nomialist"
heresy online from a site or two...
it clears up some of the terminilogy i was mis-interpreting...
can't vouch for the content quality at "rotten.com",but here's their take:
"Perhaps the greatest heresy of all time, Antinomianism preaches that souls are saved only by God's grace... and so there's absolutely no reason to refrain from every imaginable vice and sin.
In other words, par-TAY!!!!"
(continued at link)
and this one...
Antinomianism (Greek anti,"against"; nomos,"law") is the doctrine that faith in Christ frees the Christian from obligation to observe the moral law as set forth in the Old Testament.
apparently it was a conflict within the Christian Church(es)
regarding the relative importance of
Salvation vs. the moral laws of God
(looked at another way,as Christian hashing out the importance and place of Judaism/Judaic law for Christians seeking Salvation)
that said,
it doesn't connect much with,
or explain the links i was
seeking to uncover between 20th C.
"continental philosophers"
and the PoMo and Deconstructivist
laments(or celebration) of
"No Meaning is Possible"
(shared,private,divine or otherwise),...ie a sure recipie for aimless,alienated,purposeless nihilsm,imo...and the types of
individuals such a culture and
social orientation would foster.
i still feel strongly
that some tortured Ariadne's Thread of Nietsche>WWI>Heiddeger>WWII>
Phenomenology>supermarket Zen>
Foulcault>"Dictating the New NARRATIVE">PC>etc. is active in what i was trying to observe and discuss earlier.
namely in the sense that
"speechlessness" in the face of the Unspeakable(essentially a mystical phenomena and experience)
becomes,for the nihilist,
word-obssesed academics of the PoMo/DeCon world prima facie evidence that "there can simply be No Meaning Whatsoever".
"the word is not the thing".
well no,it is not...
but there is a Reality
that transcends the verbal.
this,somehow,terrifies them.

Former Villa and Manchester United favourite Dwight Yorke has challenged Martin O'Neill's men to "have a really good go" at the champions when they travel to Old Trafford today.
Villa have failed to win at the Theatre of Dreams for more than a quarter of a century, including when Yorke was in his pomp in claret and blue before joining United in the late 1990s.
But the retired Trinidad and Tobago striker will be a guest at the game at teatime after signing copies of his autobiography, Born to Score, at the United megastore this afternoon.
And Yorke reckons that if in-form Villa adopt a positive approach they have as good a chance as ever to banish to the past their poor form against Sir Alex Ferguson's superstars.
"I'm going to go and watch the game and take it all in and see my two clubs battle away," said Yorke.
"Villa are a good team, but their record at Old Trafford hasn't been particularly good, even in my time there.
"It's a difficult task, they have nothing to lose and they should really have a go at it. But it's a tough task at Old Trafford.
"From being there and playing there myself I know it is a daunting place.
"But it's not impossible. If ever there was a time for Villa to go there and have a go at them it is now.
"But if you find a buoyant Man United team it's really difficult because they're just a different prospect at home.
"It has been proved that they can get beaten at home though and there's no reason why you can't see Villa going there and trying to turn them over."
Yorke has been impressed with the way O'Neill has recovered from the injury-enforced retirement of Martin Laursen to assemble another solid defence.
The claret-and-blue backline has the Premier League's third-best defensive record so far behind United and Chelsea, having conceded just 14 goals.
And Yorke believes Richard Dunne has enhanced the spine of the team which also includes goalkeeper Brad Friedel, midfielder Stiliyan Petrov and striker Gabby Agbonlahor.
"The defence is impressing me," said Yorke.
"They are more solid at the back this time round. I know they lost Laursen, who has just retired and he was a big loss to them last year.
"Scoring goals is also really important and Agbonlahor seems to have found his feet now.
"Ashley Young is a good player there and James Milner is coming into his own at the moment.
"So I think they've got a nice little balance going at the moment from back to front and I think that's important when you are trying to build a team.
"Like Fergie used to say, you need the core of the team straight down the middle with a good striker a good midfielder a solid defender and a good goalkeeper. At the moment they have a good steady base at Aston Villa."
Yorke still has a soft spot for Villa despite leaving to win the treble in his first season with United in 1999 and later joining fierce Second City rivals Birmingham.
But the 38-year-old admits that his beloved first club has changed massively since he left more than a decade ago, with just a handful of familiar faces from his time there.
"I played with Gordon Cowans and I know he's still in the background with the academy," added Yorke.
"And Kevin MacDonald, he was there when I was there. I have a lot of time for Kevin.
"But things have changed. The tea-lady has changed and even Doug's gone now too!
"When I go back to watch a game – I went back once last year – it's great. People remember me and I feel warmth there.
"It's a good feeling and that just goes to show what I achieved there."

Pre-Settlement Lawsuit Funding Can Yield Full Compensation in Pedestrian-Auto Lawsuit
Pedestrians who suffer harm because of a negligent driver have damage-recovery options to consider. For example, a 60-year-old man was killed in an auto-pedestrian accident. The man was in a marked crosswalk when he was hit by a driver that failed to yield. While the accident remains under investigation, the victim's family should seek advice from and experienced attorney. His loved ones may be entitled to funeral and burial costs, the loss of income, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. Once a lawsuit if filed, the family can apply for pre-settlement lawsuit funding if they need help meeting financial obligations.
Pedestrian accidents can be difficult to handle and claims may be litigated over several months or years before being resolved. Pre-settlement funding helps the plaintiff withstand the legal process and wait for full case settlement. Unlike a bank, pre-settlement funding companies do not require collateral, credit or employment checks, or monthly payments. If you have a viable personal injury or wrongful death case and are represented by an attorney, you may qualify. Once your application is received, the funding company will contact your attorney–often the same day–to obtain case documentation. If the application is approved, cash can be ready for immediate use within 24 – 48 hours. Funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning repayment is made only when the case successfully settles. Should you lose your case, you owe us nothing.
Lawsuit Financial is ready to help you with your financial obligations. All you need to do is apply online or call our office; we will do the rest.

Brian Stelter debuted the new Reliable Sources on CNN today. I only caught the last five minutes so I can't say anything about the show. But watching him sum up I couldn't help but think he looked like someone I'd seen before, long ago.
That forehead just goes on forever, right? Those soft features, almost babyish. And then it struck me. Brian Stelter is Clint Howard from that episode on the original Star Trek series.
Good luck, Brian!

No matter her experience, Andrea LoParco quickly learned it would never been commensurate with a college diploma — but her decision to go back to school has left her swimming in $80,000 of school debt, still with two semesters left before she earns her masters.
No matter her experience, Andrea LoParco quickly learned it never would have been commensurate with a college diploma — and now, her decision to go back to school has left her swimming in $80,000 of school debt, still with two semesters left before she earns her master's.
So when Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a free tuition plan — that would wipe SUNY and CUNY two- and four-year college costs for New York families making $125,000 or less — LoParco started paying attention.
"I would love to see some help with existing debt," said the 38-year-old Utica woman who is earning a master of business degree. "My loan payments are as large as most people's mortgages on the 10-year standard repayment plan."
Cuomo, who unveiled the plan shortly after the new year, said at his executive budget conference Tuesday that once the program is fully phased in, it's estimated to cost $163 million per year.
What's the plan?
Under New York's tuition-free college degree program, the Excelsior Scholarship, tuition-free college would begin immediately for students of families making up to $100,000 annually and phase in over the next two years to those making $125,000 annually. It could help qualify more than 940,000 middle-class families to attend college at all public universities in New York.
"A college education is not a luxury — it is an absolute necessity for any chance at economic mobility, and with these first-in-the-nation Excelsior Scholarships, we're providing the opportunity for New Yorkers to succeed, no matter what zip code they come from and without the anchor of student debt weighing the down," Cuomo said during the announcement.
If the plan moves forward, students interested in applying for the Excelsior Scholarship must be enrolled at a SUNY or CUNY institution full-time.
Who's paying for it?
The initiative works by leveraging the state's aid programs, such as the Tuition Assistance Program that provides nearly $1 billion in grants to college students statewide. Under the program, eligible students still would receive TAP and any applicable federal grants. Additional state funds would cover the remaining tuition costs for incoming or existing eligible students.
Under the proposal, the state would complete students' tuition payments by supplementing existing state and federal grant programs — essentially covering the balance, though administration officials said some students could have their entire four-year education covered.
But Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente is worried about it. Currently, he said, community colleges are supposed to be funded in thirds by the state, the county and the college — and the state has a hard time complying with that, too.
"Where's this money coming from?" Picente asked. "What impact is it going to have on us? I think that it's a nice thing to say, to throw out there, but on one hand the governor doesn't have any money for indigent populations, but now he's finding money for free community colleges and state schools, as well as other programs? I'm just totally confused by this budget."
(Story continues below)
What do community colleges think?
Herkimer County Community College President Cathleen McColgin said the college is prepared for an influx of students once the plan is in place. And maintaining faculty-to-student ratios is important to them.
"Gov. Cuomo's Excelsior Scholarship Program is a bold move that supports the mission of Herkimer County Community College, which is in part, to provide our learners with high quality, accessible educational opportunities and services," McColgin said.
Randy VanWagoner, president of Mohawk Valley Community College, said this plan underscores the importance of access to college education. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have questions.
"I think the important part is, as many have said, the details are critical," he said. "It's important to still maintain the ongoing support for programs and services. ... We're waiting to know the details. It's hard to know what to be concerned with until we know. We want to make sure it's sustainable, that it wouldn't provide inconsistent funding, not with the long-term in mind."
What about private colleges?
While officials at Utica College say they support Cuomo's plan, it's no secret they're also feeling a bit slighted.
"Our message is really: don't exclude the private (schools)," said Utica College President Laura Casamento in an O-D Editorial Board meeting earlier this week. "Six out of 10 of our competitors are state schools. Our average family income is $83,000."
George Nehme, the college's vice president of advancement, stressed that Utica College already has been at the forefront of making college affordable, as it lowered tuition by 42 percent in a historic move last year.
"We are excited that Albany is talking about affordability; we're out in front," Nehme said. "But we want the governor and the Legislature to understand it's important to be fair about these initiatives so that all college students are eligible, public or private and that we preserve choice. Private institutions continue to be a very important choice."

What do you fear most when in a relationship? Relationships are hard to deal with!
One needs to put in a lot of time, effort and patience in order to nurture a relationship. Having done what one can do in his time and space, doubts and fears still remain. Each human being has their own sets of experiences, conditioning and innate philosophies that make them who they are.
All of these factors also play pivotal roles in love life. The stars, the sun, and the moon also have impacts on what a person fears, and acts on in a relationship.
How your man acts when in love has got to do a lot with zodiac signs. Know more at How Your Man Acts When In Love
In simpler words, the zodiac signs matter.
Read on to find out what fear a person of a particular Zodiac sign in a relationship might have.
What's Your Biggest Fear in Relationships Based on Your Zodiac Sign
1. Aries (March 21- April 19)
The Aries love too fast and too hard. They are not very adaptable and they take a lot of time to get used to new things. Thus, it is very difficult for them to move on from an ongoing relationship.

This earth sign values loyalty with a 'T'. They are introverts and they do not easily open up to people. They take a lot of time to venture into a relationship. And even when they do that, they do so with their one eye open! Meaning they are always stressing about who their partner is dallying with.
They constantly fear that they would be cheated on.
Every zodiac sign is associated with some intimacy issues. To know more read Biggest Intimacy Issues For Each Zodiac Sign
3. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The Geminis are known for their charm and sociability. By nature, they are free spirits and they do not conform to the societal tags and rules of love and relationship. They fall in love too often too many times! However, from inside they are not sure what they want, and so when in a relationship.
They fear will they be able to hold on this relationship?

4. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

They fear that they will be ignored or not appreciated in the relationship.
5. Leo (July 23 – August 22)
The Leos love to be loved. Whether in a relationship or not, they like to have the center stage in whatever they do. Switch off the spotlight from them and they will be ready to roar! Their this characteristic in a relationship translates to the fear of being ignored by their partners.

6. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
The Virgos are dependable and trustworthy. They have very high standards and one slip from their partners will make them irritable. However, from outside they will appear completely unfrazzled.
From inside they will fear for the slightest of thing that may wrong. It may be something as trifle as their partner buying them the wrong shade of shoes!
7. Libra (September 23 – October 22)
The Libra sign is associated with marriage and stability. They are beautiful and social. This air sign though is highly social and certified flirts in the list of the zodiac, but unsurprisingly they hate to be alone.
They are the most stable (or in their case balanced) when they are in a happy and cheerful relationship. From within they are very insecure. They do not take heart breaks easily and their biggest fear is that their partner will leave them for someone beautiful and richer making them all alone in the big bad world.

Enhance Your Montclair Home's Décor With Integrated Home Automation
There are plenty of benefits to upgrading your property with a smart home automation system, from increased security features to nearly limitless access to your entertainment. But our favorite aspect of integrated technology is the way that it helps your home look and feel more beautiful. Many homeowners want to upgrade their spaces with the convenience and ease of smart home automation technology but fear that their home will become bogged down with additional electronics. In this blog, we'll show you how your integrated devices can add to your décor, and make entertaining your friends and family easier than ever. Read on to learn more.
Smart Lighting Streamlines Beauty
Lighting is essential for any home, but not all lighting is created equal. Craft a fashionable ambiance that highlights exactly the areas of a given room that you want to emphasize with the touch of a button, and change it all completely with another. Smart lighting can transform the way you see your home.
Intelligently designed and integrated light fixtures also don't have to dominate your space. Get the full effect of a beautiful system with freestanding lamps, track lights and virtually invisible recessed fixtures. We can implement systems that almost eliminate devices protruding from your wall, so all you see is the beautiful light. Even control keypads can be mounted flush with the wall, so you have total command of your system without anything disrupting your décor.
Plus, zone distribution allows you to control only the lights in a particular area of a room, giving you more power over customization. When you've selected the right combination of dimmed and bright lights that truly brings your interior design to life, save it as a scene to immediately recall it with one touch.
Stay Stylish with Motorized Shades
Similarly to smart lighting, motorized shades can add visual beauty to any room, but they can also emphasize the natural beauty of the environment around your home. Oh yeah, they can also help you save energy.
Motorized shades come in all shapes, sizes and fabrics. They put simple, intuitive control in the palm of your hand, and they can be integrated with your lighting system for an even more beautiful effect. When the sun rises, program the shades to part and the light to dim. When it's time for bed, allow them to draw automatically and set the lights at a soft glow, or shut off completely.
Technology That Learns What You Love
Of course, the real beauty of a smart home system isn't in remote-control lighting or shading, it's the comfort of knowing that your technology is learning to make your life easier. If you adjust the lights and shades every morning when you wake up, after a few days your system will learn your habits and adjust them automatically. Every smart device in your home – including thermostats, whole home audio systems and surveillance equipment — can be integrated into a robust system that gets to know your preferences.
But don't think smart home automation is simply limited to making your property more stylish – we've only touched the tip of the ice berg. If you have any question, or would like to enhance your property with smart technology, contact us today.

|Next Generation Leadership Campaign
Dear Conservation Leaders,
Today, I'm excited to
announce the opening of the application period for the inaugural cohort of
the National Conservation Foundation (NCF)'s Next Generation Leadership
Institute (NGLI).
The NGLI, unveiled earlier
this year at the National Association of Conservation Districts' (NACD) 73rd
Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, aims to train seven individuals
over the course of 2020, with one participant selected from each of the NACD
The goal of the NGLI is to
equip conservation district leaders with the tools to become national leaders
through personal, civic and organizational leadership development. The NGLI
will consist of comprehensive in-person training sessions to help
participants rise to meet the future needs of natural resources management,
increasing their capacity to navigate and manage complex conservation
challenges – both current and future – at the national level. Upon completion
of the program, participants will fulfill their potential to be the trusted
voice of locally-led conservation efforts from the local to the national
conservation district officials are eligible to apply, as well as district
officials with current or potential for a statewide leadership position. All
applicants must be committed to future conservation district service and must
submit letters of support from their local conservation district and their
state or territory association. Applications must be received by Friday, Sept. 20, 2019.
Highlights of the yearlong
program will include exploring personal leadership styles and conservation
ethics; communicating through conflict arising from conservation challenges
and/or diverse political climates; the value of civic and organizational
leadership; practical tools such as needs assessments and strategic planning
for both public districts and nonprofit associations; practicing leading
districts through change and accessing new opportunities; and networking with
conservation leaders from across the nation.
The inaugural group will meet
for five sessions, with each session being three days in length. The
events will be held at different locations throughout 2020 and will
conclude with a capstone event in 2021. Tuition is $1,200 for
participants in the program and is valued at more than $10,000 per
participant. Travel, room, board and materials are included in the program.
For more information, please

Please reach out if you have
any questions.

|Alexa Rank
Alexa Rank is the most commonly used metrics when it comes to website ranking globally and by country. Alexa rank is based upon the total number of users a website gets regardless of the traffic sources (organic, social, referral or direct). Website that gets most traffic is ranked #1. Alexa uses a secret ranking algorithm which is updated daily, the estimated rank becomes more accurate as the website grows and gets more visitors. Top 500 websites are therefore get more accurate ranking data describing traffic, demographics and competitors.
Semrush Rank unlike moz rank focuses mainly on organic traffic and paid traffic; dealing with both Search Engine Optimization(SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) respectively. A website/domain which has most keywords in the top 100 results (starting from top 10 progressively) is ranked as the best website. For example , Youtube is ranked at number 2 with 109 million keywords. Semrush uses different google's geo databases to obtain it's ranking. By default US database depicts website semrush Rank.
Moz Rank essentially ranks websites based on the volume of backlinks the domain has. Websites with more links to it is said to be authoritative. Thus the term Domain Authority and Page Authority, check our Authority Checker for details.
Similarweb works the same as alexa rank in addition to ranking of android and Ios Apps. Similarweb widgets are used by webmaster to show a preview of website rank and number of visits. Unlike Alexa ,in similarweb domain data is updated on a monthly basis.
Quantcast exclusively measures websites which have implemented the asynchronous quantcast tag. Larger sites may also been measured through estimates. Among the key information provided include monthly traffic, rank of site by country and globally, with filtering based on mobile and desktop traffic.

SAN JOSE–The Cinequest Film Festival wrapped up another year on a rainy Sunday as the city"s Hammer Theatre Center reopened under the umbrella of San Jose State University.
"It"s very much in my heart to open this theater again," said Lisa Laymon, who is coordinating operations at the downtown theater that was closed almost two years after the collapse of the resident stage company. With permission from City Hall, the university has taken over the former "Rep" and hosted Cinequest as the first event since the changeover.
Also, the striking, modernistic, blue box in the heart of downtown was renamed after former mayor Susan Hammer and her husband, Phil, both patrons of the arts. Laymon said the college has upgraded audio components and lighting, with more improvements on the way.
"I just love this theater!" said Vickie Santos, a retired Santa Clara city parks and recreation employee who was in line at the Hammer, which hosted encore runs of the festival"s most popular films. Santos was a relative newcomer to the growing festival, which started in 1990. "So where was I all that time? I was always a film buff but I was working and raising children."
Two other movie fans, Fredia Brooks and Jane Rosenthal, relaxed in the theater"s refurbished lobby and traded film reviews and opinions on the festival"s progress. They agreed that improved movie trailers and printed, capsule reviews have made it easier for fans to choose from among the festival"s 240 films packed into 13 days.
"Before, it was like throwing darts against the wall," Brooks said.
As film directors chatted with ordinary fans in the theater lobby, the mellow scene on "encore Sunday" reflected the festival"s ability to gain prominence in the global movie business and still retain a down home San Jose vibe, even outsider status. Cinequest organizers like to give their top "Maverick Spirit" awards to filmmakers and actors they consider ground breakers or rebels who defy Hollywood conventions.
Director Chris Brown, whose film, "The Other Kids," won an encore showing, said the festival"s willingness to take chances on bold filmmaking gives him the opportunity to meet and learn from other independent filmmakers.
"We all work in our own silos," Brown said in the Hammer theater lobby. "To be in a film festival of this stature, and to be able talk with each other, it"s absolutely crucial."
In a way, Cinequest is a homegrown upstart that has brought a 21st-century line up of multicultural and multinational films to a theater originally built for live drama. For various reasons, the ancient art form was not enough to sustain the theater building that opened in 1997 and closed in June 2014.
Laymon said the Hammer Theatre Center will soon offer a variety of "high-quality" entertainment, from drama to concerts and movies, produced by San Jose students and outside professional companies and performers.
The next Cinequest will run February 28 to March 12, 2017.

What are the Best Debt Consolidation Companies in Phoenixville PA
Who has the best Phoenixville debt consolidation services?
Phoenixville consolidation services offer a way of taking multiple debts and taking them all and wrapping them together into one payment. So if you have 5 different Phoenixville loans, each with a different interest rate and length, a Phoenixville debt consolidation loan will pay these off and then you will be left with one Phoenixville loan with a total on the loan of all the paid off loans. The best part is that these types of Phoenixville consolidation loans typically have lower interest rates than the ones you are getting rid of.
What is the best place in Pennsylvania to find Phoenixville credit consolidation lenders?
Search online for the best debt consolidation lenders in Phoenixville PA. The reason the best place to find Phoenixville debt consolidation lenders in Pennsylvania is because you will be able to find the right Phoenixville lender for you. Your local Phoenixville banks may not specialize in the right Phoenixville consolidation loans for you or have Pennsylvania lending standards that are too stringent. By searching for the best Pennsylvania debt consolidation loans online, you can assure yourself of getting the right Phoenixville loan.
More On Debt Consolidation Loans in Phoenixville PA
As I said above, prior to the credit crunch we had basically "easy money" whereby the Phoenixville banks were encouraged to lend to pretty much anyone in Pennsylvania with a pulse. As the economy tanked and their Phoenixville debts mounted, a large portion of these people who got easy credit are now looking for Phoenixville debt counseling programs. These Phoenixville loans can be obtained but they are just like any other Phoenixville loan. Your Pennsylvania credit rating, your ability to repay the Phoenixville loan, an availability of collateral to secure the loan and the current Phoenixville bank policies on Pennsylvania lending will determine if you get a Phoenixville consolidation loan or not.
Where Is The Best Phoenixville Loan Consolidation Service?
As I discussed above, the typical Phoenixville loan consolidation service usually has a lower interest rate than the standard Pennsylvania loan that is putting you in the poor house. Be aware that just because you are in trouble with your Phoenixville monthly payments, does not mean that you will automatically get Phoenixville loan consolidation.
Where Can I find The Best Phoenixville Debt Consolidation Help?
I spoke of collateral before and this is a big aspect of why Phoenixville debt consolidation lenders may give you Phoenixville loan consolidation. Unsecured Phoenixville loans are the riskiest loans to give by a Pennsylvania lender. This is because if the Phoenixville loan is defaulted on, the bank cannot get the money back. By requiring collateral to provide security on a loan (as some Phoenixville banks do for Phoenixville debt consolidation loans) the bank reduces their risk for the loan. A secured Phoenixville loan allows the lender to offer the loan to you and then to offer the Phoenixville loan at a reduced interest rate. Be careful to make sure you pay off the Phoenixville credit card consolidation loan on time. If you were required to put up collateral and you default, the Phoenixville bank will take that collateral as a way to recoup their loss.

At The Graduation Ceremony Marine Son Surprises His Mom For Her Priceless Reaction
For a mom to be single and alone in this mean world is not easy, just like this 45-year-old single mom Tondaleya. But her life was not that bad when her son suddenly surprised her at the ceremony. Read the article to know her priceless reaction.
Stationed on a base in Virginia
It was very difficult for Paul to meet his mother as he was stationed in Virginia, but lucky for Paul someone told his superiors about Paul's mother's graduation ceremony, and Paul was soon summoned.
Paul decided to thank his mother.
Paul remembering his mothers struggle through the years he decided to say thank you to her in the most amazing way. When he learned of her graduation night, he decided to do something good on that day. Paul's superiors said, "Hey Robinson, what are you doing here today? Aren"t you supposed to be home with your mom?" and Paul replied, "I said, 'Roger that, sir.'"

One day after President Trump decreed on Twitter that transgender people will be prohibited from serving in the military "in any capacity," the Joint Chiefs of Staff are reportedly holding off on implementing that change.
According to a letter seen by Reuters, General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has told the military there will be no changes in the transgender policy until the president issues them direction.
"In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect," Dunford said.
EXCLUSIVE: US Joint Chiefs of Staff tells military there will be no modification to transgender policy until direction received from Pres

"In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect." Dunford says in letter seen by Reuters https://t.co/Y5Fckbpfdc
— Idrees Ali (@idreesali114) July 27, 2017
As Wednesday's White House press conference seemed to confirm, Trump's desired change exists only in tweet form so far. There has been no executive order or expression of the policy in any other documented form. And the tweets alone apparently are not enough for the military to start firing as many as 15,000 active and reserve troops.
Just last month, Dunford said at an event that there would be no changes to the policy that transgender servicemembers could continue serving openly, as they have been allowed to do so since last year. Enlistment of transgender people was supposed to begin July 1 of this year, but Defense Secretary James Mattis agreed to delay implementation of that policy six more months to allow for additional review. He clarified at the time that the delay would not necessarily change the ultimate outcome of the policy taking effect.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed Wednesday that Mattis was only informed of Trump's decision to ban all transgender servicemembers "immediately after" that decision was made. Matt has been on vacation this week.

Hi, I am Travis(T-Rav) Thorne A.K.A. EnigmA Jade Sky. I am a professional performance artist working out of St Louis, Missouri. I also make art from recycled plastics, circuitry, gears, motors, gears, bones, twine, glass, stone, etc…using a wide variety of tools and techniques. My drawings, and writings(sometimes shorts, or rants, but generally poetry/lyrics) tend to be my most private works, and tend to be very dark in nature…so when/if I share them, please keep criticism constructive. I found it best to start off this project with a simple introduction…sharing with you who do not yet know me where my art comes from, my roots…..my foundation.
I, The fifth birthed by the lofty loins of a mother looking to love one more child before her womb no longer bore fruit, came to be. Born into a family larger than it's own means of support, I came into this world knowing love over money, and honesty over appearance. This abundance of love and understanding, however, was rarely shown to me outside of my family, and I quickly grew aware of how cold and cruel the outside world can really be. Teased, and beaten over sexual, and social identifiers that I myself was not yet even aware applied to me, I was often an unhappy person. As puberty made clumsy my entire body, the weapons of my tormentors gained strength, and ammunition…and as the beatings got worse, I turned to excessive drug use, and self mutilation for company.
I became a very bitter, and un-trusting person, seemingly making waste of the love i was born into. I took refuge in the acceptance of the outcasts, and the bonds I forged with them forever changed my life. These new friends not only allowed, but encouraged me to identify myself…to find and share my own voice. The voice I found was thunderous in volume. I shouted from every rooftop how proud I was to be the person I had found within myself, and made no apologies for it, which came at no small cost. By this time in my life, my eccentricities had caught the attention of educators and local lawmen. I was doomed from that point on. If my family name weren't enough, then my appearance, and general lack of concern for complacency was certainly enough to make target me for uneven distribution of heavy-handed punishments.
Eventually I became much too much to tolerate in the eyes of those officials, and was dejected from my hometown…..being blessed with the choice of move to the big city or move to the big house, I took my eccentricities elsewhere. The hurried life of the city was the best thing I had ever experienced. The people here relished in my aberration, and encouraged me to explore and expressed myself through art in all it's many forms, creating a sense of peace within myself I never thought possible.
All the aforementioned combined is the foundation of who I am now. I hold no regrets. All of this helped form the person I am today, and combined with the experiences of tomorrow, it will continue to mold the person I will be the day after.

It's the one word that perfectly describes this session; wind
It was soooooooo incredibly windy on the evening of our session. Hats were a must to keep their hair out of their faces. And that wind, it was soooooooooo incredibly cold. Isn't it amazing though, how when you view the final image you don't see any of that! It's all thanks to that gorgeous warm setting sun in the distance. And of course those adorable hats 😉
The four of you made my job feel so incredibly easy! The fact that we got such a wide variety in such a short period of time under not so ideal conditions just speaks to how well we work together. This session is total magic for me! I hope it is for you as well Mom and Dad.

Thanks everyone who shared on social media and/or voted for the photo. The total amount raised from Sully and Sky's photo (including the $700 prize money) is $1,860 dollars. With my donation of prize money back to the shelter along with at least one other category winner's pledge to do the same, the amount raised for the shelter will just surpass the $10,000 goal.
Well done everyone!!

A Luton school has retained its 'inadequate' rating after segregating male and female staff – with the chief inspector of Ofsted directly criticising leaders of the school for 'undermining' British values of equality.
In a stinging letter to education secretary Nick Morgan, Ofsted's chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw expresses concerns about gender segregation in three independent faith schools in the town.
But he singled out Rabia Girls' and Boys' School, on Dunstable Road in Bury Park, after inspectors were 'so concerned about the behaviours modelled by the leaders of this school'.
The school was inspected between April 12 and April 21 and inspectors found men and women were being segregated through the use of a dividing screen across the middle of the room, despite the meeting not being of a religious nature.
The inspector also saw staff segregated during training sessions, with males sitting in one room while the training session was simultaneously broadcast to female staff in another part of the school. [Luton On Sunday] Read more

Some 60 to 70 Swiss private banks are facing serious problems that could force them to close down or sell up, according to a study published on Thursday by consultancy KPMG.
Fighting diminishing profits caused by fierce competition and a global clampdown on tax evasion, these banks must work to cut costs and buy up competitors to reach adequate size.
But many of the affected banks will ultimately have to exit the market, the study concluded.
"I'm convinced that at least half will disappear," KPMG manager Christian Hintermann said, adding many of these banks were now making losses. "It's ultimately a question of how long their owners want to carry these losses."

We examine how the relation between taxpayers and their government affects tax evasion. Specifically, we examine how perceived influence over government policymaking affects taxpayers' tax evasion decisions. We argue that taxpayers are less willing to comply with tax laws when they perceive the influence over their government to be unfavorable to them or the result of an unfair policymaking process.

In it, I argue that the law school admission process disproportionately excludes Black people from legal education for reasons that are unsupported by relevant data. In making my point, I referenced research conducted by a few law schools showing the measurable, but limited, value of the LSAT in predicting bar exam performance and the acquisition of lawyering skills.
I received many responses to my inbox. Some favorable. Some not. I am writing though to address a public rebuttal by Robert Steinbuch, a law professor at Arkansas-Little Rock. Steinbuch challenged my thesis by presenting a data table showing that graduates of his law school who entered with lower LSAT scores passed the bar exam at lower rates.

5 Takeaways: Huskies come out on top but Mooseheads win tie-breaker
Round robin action at the 2019 Memorial Cup presented by Kia wrapped up Wednesday as the QMJHL champion Rouyn-Noranda Huskies came away with a 4-3 victory over the host Halifax Mooseheads. Despite the result, the Mooseheads earned a bye into Sunday's championship final due to the goal differential tie-breaker, while the Huskies will now face off against the OHL's Guelph Storm in Friday's semi-final.
Here are five key takeaways from the final game of the round robin:
Huskies get best of Mooseheads, again
The Huskies toppled the Mooseheads again, coming on the heels of the club's six-game series win the QMJHL Final to capture the President's Cup for the second time in four years. Still, the tie-breaker rule will force the Huskies into a longer path to the winner's circle as the club will first need to handle the Storm if it is to challenge for a franchise-first Memorial Cup. Leading the way for the Huskies on Wednesday was blue-liner Alexis Arsenault who picked up a pair of helpers, while four different skaters found the back of the net, including left-wing and Boston Bruins prospect Jakub Lauko, who picked up the game winner with just 55 seconds remaining in the final frame to earn third-star recognition.
Here is @jakub_lauko's game-winner that made it 4-3 for the @HuskiesRn! #MemorialCup pic.twitter.com/6ha3Cj1J1h
— #QMJHL50 (@QMJHL) May 23, 2019
Rare tie-breaker scenario
For just the sixth time under the current tournament format, adopted in 1983, three teams notched 2-1 records through round robin play to tie for first place, while Halifax is also the first club to win the tie-breaker despite losing its final game. The most recent occurrence came last year when the Acadie-Bathurst Titan advanced to the Championship Final on a tie-breaker and ultimately won it all, while the same also happened in 1996 and 1997 with the Granby Prédateurs and Hull Olympiques, respectively. Unfortunately, the Shawinigan Cataractes (1985) and Calgary Hitmen (1999) weren't as fortunate, as both teams advanced to the final round but didn't come out on the winning side.
Gravel sees plenty of pucks
Despite coming out on the losing side, Mooseheads netminder and Chicago Blackhawks prospect Alexis Gravel locked it down in the blue paint, coming away with 36 saves, including 18 in the third period alone as the Huskies poured it on. In all, the 19-year-old native of Asbestos, Que., has been one of the Mooseheads top performers this season and has now carried over his strong play to the year-end tournament, posting a 1.50 goals-against average and .949 save percentage to lead all goaltenders competing at the 2019 Memorial Cup presented by Kia. Through 2018-19, Gravel earned 33 wins in just 49 appearances before adding another 14 victories in the postseason.

Trepanier's silent success
While much of the talk surrounding the Mooseheads has focused on the likes of draft-eligible winger Raphael Lavoie, as well as fellow forwards Samuel Asselin and captain Antoine Monard who are in search of their second-straight CHL championship after winning it all with the Titan a year ago, left-wing Maxim Trepanier has flown under the radar for the club. Through three games, the 20-year-old has collected a team-leading six points, including another assist versus the Huskies on Wednesday. Added from the Gatineau Olympiques in hopes of making a push for a championship, Trepanier proved to be a key addition for the Mooseheads after he put 20 points across four rounds of playoff action.
Teasdale and Abbandonato connect
The horses came to play for the Huskies on Wednesday as left-wing and Montreal Canadiens signee Joel Teasdale recorded his second goal of the tournament thanks to a pretty feed from linemate Peter Abbandonato, who dished a perfect cross-crease pass. It's been a spectacular spring for Teasdale, who led the QMJHL in playoff scoring with 34 points. Meanwhile, Abbandonato is always a threat when on the ice. That much was evident after the 21-year-old centre terrorized the QMJHL with an 111-point season, counting 29 goals and 82 assists, to capture the Jean Beliveau Trophy as the league leading scorer.

We were so glad to find out that the digital signage Vimeo app is now available to all of our subscribers. Vimeo, like YouTube, is a video-sharing website, but unlike YouTube, it is geared towards the craft of filmmaking.
As a result of Vimeo joining the digital signage content streaming world, we will be curating FREE playlists for all of our subscribers to show on their screens. This now opens up a world of entertainment for our subscribers because they can offer a unique experience when "sitting and watching a screen" is involved: waiting rooms, lobbies, medical establishments, etc. That dreaded CP24 channel with its bad news plays everywhere and no one should be exposed to it while visiting a business premises, in our opinion.
If you're not familiar with Vimeo and you enjoy the likes of both amateur and professional films and videos, visit www.vimeo.com where you can choose from a variety of Staff Picks, channels, and categories such as animation, comedy, experimental, fashion, documentaries, narrative (drama, sci-fi, etc.), and so much more.
Our curated picks will be selections from a number of these categories and playlists will be created with various themes and settings in mind to best suit the environment where content is being watched. For example, a travel-themed playlist can be suitable where audio is not permitted or suitable but the visuals will be satisfying enough to the viewer.
Playlists will include video content ranging from 2 minutes to 10 minutes because we want to showcase a variety to span over a one-hour timeframe. Then again, Tonymac Digital Signage subscribers can request custom playlists and we will produce them — free of course! Vimeo playlists can be uploaded to any screen or screens immediately, as well as play on multiple screens; or, different playlists on different screens. Unfortunately, these playlists cannot be previewed because we have to assemble them each time.
Keep an eye out for our Facebook page where we will post one or two Vimeo videos each week for your downtime entertainment. Need more information? We'll be glad to answer any of your questions.

The result of what is technically a plebiscite among 1,222 County Kerry voters is due tomorrow and is expected to reveal strong popular resentment towards the government's requirement that it should be known by the Irish place name, An Daingean.
The county council has begun removing road signs bearing the word Dingle and replacing them with the new name. The town is within a Gaeltacht, one of the country's few designated Irish-speaking areas.
Ireland's Official Languages Act gives the minister for rural, Gaeltacht and community affairs, Éamon Ó Cuív, the power to order that only Irish place names be used in those areas. Mr Ó Cuív has warned that his department "cannot act on" the ballot, administered by Kerry county council, because it is not legally possible to have an English or bilingual name in a Gaeltacht area. He has said that the ballot has no legal basis.
But locals argue that if they win 612 votes - more than 50% of votes available - it will be a moral victory and should persuade the government to rethink its policy.
On a wind-buffeted peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic, An Daingean, as it is currently known, is the largest town within any of the Gaeltachts. Most of its income is derived from tourism. The decision by Mr Ó Cuív was highly unpopular with residents and the proposal in the referendum is to rebrand the port with a bilingual name - Dingle An Daingean Uí Chúis.
At Barr na Sráide, a pub on the town's Main Street, the owner, David Geaney, was confident of bringing back the old name. "People feel they are being bullied," he said. "They have lived with 'Dingle' all their lives.
"The fishing industry is nearly dead and farming is struggling. So 70-80% of the town's business is in tourism. If you are a tourist and trying to find the area, it will be a bit of joke if you can't find the name you recognise. We are all proud of our heritage but we want to be able to speak both [languages] and the minister is denying us the opportunity for that. Some traditionalists are slow to change."
It will not be a secret ballot and some fear it could prove socially divisive. Each postal vote has to be witnessed and individuals' names are on their papers.
The largest tourist attraction in the town for years has been Fungie the Dingle dolphin, a permanent resident in the bay who escorts the fishing fleet home. Trips out on a boat to see the playful creature are the highlight of many tourists' visits.
Those behind the plebiscite have warned that there is already another town in Ireland called simply Daingean, more than 100 miles away in County Offaly, and the name change could confuse foreign sightseers.
The chairwoman of Dingle Peninsula Tourism, Sile Gorman, has endorsed the bilingual solution. "Twenty years ago our children had to emigrate because there was no employment in the area," she said. "Now, because of tourism, our children have a real choice and can remain on the peninsula ... the government have spent millions promoting the Dingle peninsula brand and now they want to throw it away".
A vote by An Daingean to adopt the bilingual version would be an embarrassment for the government's promotion of Irish. On January 1 next year, following years of lobbying at Brussels, Irish will formally become an official language of the EU.
An advertising campaign has been launched seeking those qualified to meet the exacting standards of simultaneous translation required by the European parliament. Six potential recruits are undergoing further training. Only two MEPs - one Sinn Féin's Bairbre de Brún, from Northern Ireland - regularly use Irish in debates.
The one area where there has been a phenomenal growth in the use of the language is in cities where many families, particularly among the middle classes, have begun sending their children to schools where the whole curriculum is taught in Irish.
A spokeswoman for the department of rural, Gaeltacht and community affairs said: "The town name has always been An Daingean. The only thing that has changed is that the Irish form now has official status. If people want to put up tourist signs pointing to Dingle, that's fine."
Around 100,000 people are believed to use Irish as their main language on daily basis. At the last census nearly 43% of the population claimed to have some ability to speak the language.
