Greetings from Pastor Bob and The Encouraging Word. "Real Men Wear Kilts." That was what the tee-shirt said at the Highland games this past weekend. And yes, I wore a kilt. All I have to say is that is was a breezy day. It is good to be back writing to you. I trust everything has been getting better and better in every area of your life. If not then today is the day that it all turns around and heads in the right direction. I have been real busy as you can imagine. My collage classes are going well. The church is moving forward. I have been staying busy with the entertainment business. The kids on the school bus were extremely wound up after Halloween. And my family is the blessing of my life.
It sounds like my Mother is getting settled in and enjoying her new home down in Englewood. She is going to be coming back up the first week-end in December to help us out with our yard sale and stuff. My Mother-In-Law on the other hand is still in need of your prayers. After loseing her husband of almost 53 years, you can imagine how displaces she must feel. Her biggest functional problem right now is transportation. She really needs a reliable car. If you know anyone who can help her out in any way with a good running, automatic car, please, please contact me right away and let us know about it. In the mean time please remember to keep her in your prayers.
So, I guess I should talk a little about Halloween. Some people make a big deal about it being an evil holiday and all that religious stuff. Being one of those people who get paid to dress up in funny costumes and act silly I would really be a hypocrite to overly condemn the activity. I really have decided not to give the devil any more attention or power then the worm deserves. Let the kids have some fun and enjoy their candy. In many cases it is the only time people ever even think about ringing a neighbor's doorbell. It was nice to see kids walking hand and hand with their parents going through their neighborhoods, with everyone smiling and in a good mood.
Is the foundation of the holiday evil? Well, sure, but then we Christians have not always acted in such holly ways either. Stop pointing fingers and do what Jesus did and love one another. If you do not want to celebrate Halloween, or want your kids to go trick or treating, then find a positive alternative. Give out scripture candy. Or go to a local church's fall family fun fest, or other community event. The main thing is what is in your heart. Don't let the devil have any power over you. And when you start condemning people for having a good time with their kids and family and community, who looks evil? Enough said.
This Sunday is our "Fellowship Sunday" at church. It is where we all get together after church for a pot luck dinner and have some time to just get to know each other and relax. If you are in the area come on over. Tonight we will be having a "Hymn Sing." That is pretty much what we do on Sunday Nights. And if you know me I was never real big on hymns. Being an old classic rock head, it took awhile for me to get into this hymn thing. But like anything else if you will give it a chance you can see the joy in it. Now I am having a great time around the piano with our small group of people singing and laughing and really enjoying each other and life. Plus, if you know anything about hose old hymns they have a great message in every one. SO come on over on Sunday nights at 6:00 and enjoy the presence of the LORD. Then on Wednesday nights we do a little more singing and really get into the word. It is our Bible Study night and we are going through he Bible verse by verse. If you are looking for a good place to worship and fellowship and learn the Bible and grow the kingdom of God then boy do we have a church for you.
We are getting things set up to web cast the service, so you will be able to watch the service right from home. We still have to work out the details but I like it. Other things in the works are the Thanksgiving camping trip and Dinner, we have a gospel trio coming in on the second Sunday of December and then this Saturday is Fitness-Witness, beginner guitar lessons and sign language lessons. I will be performing at the St Petersburg Pier next Saturday between 1 and 4 and a whole lot more.
Now, my friends…. Let's get into the word!
A New Creature
(2 Corinthians 5:17 KJVA) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
As I was looking at the different translations of this passage of scripture I found it interesting how each put a slightly different twist on what actually takes place in this transformation.
One translation says that you become a new person. Another says that you are in a new world. Sometimes we really don't pay much attention to the real transformation that actually takes place as we walk in the newness of life. Paul has a wonderful way of explaining to us how we have to put off the old man, crucify the flesh, not be conformed but be transformed. This transformation process is much like sanctification in that it is both instantaneous as well as being a work in progress. When we come to the knowledge of who Jesus Christ really is, and He is the King of Kings and the LORD of LORDS, When we come to the knowledge of what He has done for us, and accept Him as our personal savior and LORD, we are instantly transformed into a new creation.
The example has been given of how the moment you believed God put on glasses and no longer saw you as you but he sees you now as Jesus Himself. You have been set free. You have been givein eternal life. You are delivered, you are forgiven, you are suddenly a joint heir with Christ. All spiritual blessings have suddenly been given unto you.
So the first thing I want us to look at is where we were, or who we were then we will look at the actual transformation and finally at the continuing process that we walk out every day. I want us to go to the book of Ephesians to discover who we were, or for far too many, who we still remain, before our rebirth.
(Ephesians 2:1 KJVA) And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Some of you might be able to see in your King James Bibles how the passage "hath he quickened" is in italics. Whenever you see something in italics in the King James it means that those words were not found in the original text, they were just added by the translator. Why? I don't know, maybe in this case they wanted to candy over the statement about who you were. It says that
"And you who were dead in trespasses and sins." It gets to the quickening part a couple of verses down, but first you really have to know who you are without Christ. You are dead without him. Remember how in John 5:17 it tells us that "Christ did not come into the world to condemn the world , but that the world through Him might be saved?" Well, if we keep reading there in verse 18 it tells us why.
(John 3:18 KJVA) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
I tried to find a more clear translation, but the fact is, Jesus is not the one condemning you. You are already condemned. If you consider yourself a good person, you know yourself you are not good enough. Or, maybe that is the problem. I can't understand it myself, but someone might think that they are good enough. Someone might be thinking they have been good so they should be given the right into eternal life. John has an answer for that too. In 1st John 1:8
(1 John 1:8 KJVA) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If you don't think you have any sin then you are either really fooling yourself, because you sure are not fooling anyone else. We all know you!
The fact is we have to start at the point of where we are. Even those of us who have been "in Christ" for many years need to know from where we came. We Christians need to know who that old man that continually is tying to take over is. Look at the prodigal son. He thought he had it all. He had his inheritance, he was having a good time. But when all everything was stripped away, he realized how much he really needed and desired salvation. Let's go back to our passage in Ephesians that talked about how we were dead in our trespasses and sins.
The original word that is translated trespasses is very interesting. When we think of trespassing we think about going onto someone else's property. But the original word does not really talk about that at all. It talks about the little things we do wrong.
From G3895; a side slip (lapse or deviation), that is, (unintentional) error or (wilful) transgression: - fall, fault, offence, sin, trespass.
I want to also show you the G3895 that the word comes from.
to fall aside, that is, (figuratively) to apostatize: - fall away.
So, the first part of our death is really unintentional. We do a little side slip, we mess up, we make a few mistakes. We are human. Now, think about that in eternity. Even the slightest deviation in the short term will turn into a huge mess down the road of eternity.
The great thing about God however is that he reverses that. You can make the slightest correction in your character today and watch yourself grow into the man or woman that God has created you to be in no time at all. But you have to be able to see the need to make the correction before you will take the turn.
The second word is the one we are all most familiar with. It is plain and simple, down right sin.
From G264; sin (properly abstract): - offence, sin (-ful).
This is the stuff we do that we know is wrong, but we do it anyway. This is the rebel in us all. This is our lack of will power. This is where we far too often try to justify and rationalize and cover up the real ugliness of it all.
The fact is we are all sinners in need of a savior. We can not cover it up, We can not make up for all the wrong we have done. We can not go back and do it over. The price has to be paid. The wages of sin is death. And it has been the death of our relationships, the death of our friendships, the death of our communities, the death of our hope. Our own trespasses and sin have led us down a dead end road to hell and the grave.
But God!!!!! God did not plan that end for you. God's plans for you are to prosper you and to give you a good name and a bright future full of hope. So He paid that costly price for you.
Today is the day of your salvation. Right now you are a new creation. Behold all things have become new. God wants you to know how much he loves you and you are indeed blessed and highly favored of the LORD!
God bless you my friend and may He continue to make you a great blessing to others.
Your friend;
Pastor Bob


text: Hi! I'm mamaturtle2000 and while I haven't visited a lot of zoos (just a handful here in the US); I am a big supporter of zoos that "do the right thing". I have lived in Columbus, Ohio for the last 3 years but lived here for a few years previously & so had already become familiar with our zoo (The Columbus Zoo & Aquarium) and our world famous Ms. Colo; the first gorilla born in human care & the oldest known gorilla ever. We always enjoyed visiting her group and became especially enamored with them after moving back here 3 years ago when their (then) youngest, Mo'ana started being very friendly & lovey with us (she is a very people-loving gorilla). After about a year even the silverback started visiting with us up close. Now, this silverback is Baron Macombo II; grandson (and raised by) of Colo, named after his great grandfather (Colo's dad) and half of the first surviving captive-born twins in the Western hemisphere. We treasured every moment we got to spend with these gorillas and my daughter & I even made the local paper for our interactions with Mo. Early 2014 I became pregnant & the gorillas could tell before I even told my husband; they all acted differently toward me & Mac started being very....weird. He'd hover near me and get agitated if people crowded around me. My whole pregnancy he was like that; he would even beat his chest if my husband touched me in front of him. Long story short....my son's name is Makombo (different spelling) and while Mo will still visit & love on me (kisses, head rubs & feeding through the glass) when I have the baby in my lap she gets very agitated when I feed him. Mac will hover until I get the baby out of the stroller & then watch from afar as long as I am holding him. A couple of months ago Mac was very agitated over a new volunteer at the zoo; a docent we knew told us how nothing had been able to calm him all day. The docents left (the lady even saying to us, "I'll leave our gorillas in your capable hands."), we warned people out of the building & I sat down on the floor with the baby in front of Mac; he calmed down almost immediately & eventually even let me sit at the glass with him. My experiences with "my gorillas" have made me decide I'll never leave this area unless my gorillas do & so I love the Columbus Zoo. I can't say I'm a big Jack Hanna fan though Just saying.... So thanks for accepting me & I look forward to sharing zoo stories & knowledge

Kissan Vikas Trust is currently working as a partner with PCI India in Parivartan Project which is funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Mobilizing Most Marginalized
Kissan Vikas Trust is currently working in 3 blocks from within 2 districts in Bihar namely: Begusarai & Khagaria. These blocks were selected using a vulnerability index, calculated based on three indicators: percent of Scheduled Castes and Tribes (SC/ST) population in a block, literacy rates among women, and proneness to flooding. Kissan Vikas Trust created about 650 community groups in more than 86 villages. Each community group typically contains 12-15 women of reproductive age group. Each village has approximately 5-6 community groups
Promoting Behavior Change on Key Health and Sanitation Behaviors
Parivartan mobilizes, organizes, and builds community groups in Bihar with a focus on: a) strengthening their ability to shape social norms, promoting behavior change, and driving demand for services critical to maternal and child health, sanitation and hygiene; b) strengthening accountability and monitoring mechanisms through community structures for health, sanitation, and welfare services and schemes to advance equity and service access and; c) establishing sustainable institutional structures and frameworks to support the state-wide scale up of community mobilization interventions focused on maternal, neonatal, child health and sanitation (MNCHS).
Working with Most Marginalized Communities for Social Accountability and Equity
Parivartan works with the most marginalized communities to address equity issues related to caste, gender, and other social variables, which can be determinants of MNCHS outcomes.

The blade appears to be a period item however, as was already said, it's been cobbled together with other parts. The maker mark, an Imperial Feuerwehr helmet, is a scarcely seen maker's mark. This mark has been seen on late Weimar & early 3R bayonets with early style Bakelite grips. Despite the logo, these bayonets had standard KS98 style hilts & there's no evidence that they had a fire affiliation. Occasionally this logo is seen with the initials "WFP".

Guest Post from a Teacher
Hi, y'all. I'm Elizabeth Muire, I'm an English teacher and an SOS staff member. I didn't get to go to Wuxi, but I got lucky enough to be asked to help when the students from Wuxi came here anyway.
A fun fact about me: If you asked me at any moment who my favorite historical figure is, I would answer William Barret Travis, commander of the Alamo garrison. I can recite Alamo statistics in my sleep, so I was the obvious choice when SOS was looking for one of us to lead the tour of the Alamo.
We came to the Alamo direct from Mission Jose, where Park Ranger Tom gave a good tour and historical accounting of Spanish settlement and the building of the Missions. Then we literally moved into the city and metaphorically moved into the Texas Revolution. I thought it would be easy—I'm a teacher, I know this stuff, I love this story that I get to tell.
But then the question arises: how do you really explain to someone a historical even that shaped your entire cultural worldview? No matter how much you care about it, how do you explain the need to Remember the Alamo when that person doesn't remember it?
And then I wondered what it had been for them. What part of Wuxi had they fumbled and struggled to explain to their new friends, something they felt was integral to them, and something they felt utterly inadequate to explain?
In that moment of clarity, I found my voice. And in short sentences and bare facts, I relayed through the translator the major details of my hero, William Travis, the woodsman Davy Crockett, the cannoneer Almeron Dickenson and his wife Susanna, and the 180-odd heroes who died to buy Texas time.
As I led them through the museum complex, I let the weight of history and the talking walls of the Alamo give the impact of the story.
And they could hear it from the walls, feel it in the air. I could tell, in their faces, in their hushed conversations, in their slow tread, that they heard what my heart was telling them, even when my words could not.
And it seems to me, watching the students intentionally and steadily build connections between our cities, so much of our communication—and communion—happens in the silence, when we let the weight of emotion do the talking for us. And as usual, when I reach out to teach students about the things I love, I wound up learning as much as I taught.
Farewelling Friends
Our Wuxi ambassadors have been having a great time hanging out with their American friends and host families.
Sunday morning dawned bright and clear with both American and Chinese students coming to the Lee/ISA/STEM campus to play some ice breaker games and learn about each other's schools. We dropped by Musical Bridges to see some exciting art connections between San Antonio and Wuxi, and then took them to the exciting world of American shopping malls at La Cantera. Since the building friendships between our students is the whole point of this exercise, then we turned the Chinese students loose on their host families, and let them spend some time hanging out and getting to know each other better.
Day four opened back at the Lee campus, where the students played The Great Game, representing countries and trying to bargain and fight their way to stability. A few students got poisoned, a table got conquered, and a great time was had by all. After lunch, we headed out to natural bridge caverns to see some of the geology that makes Texas' rugged landscape so unique. We said our farewells (and happy birthday to one of the Chinese teachers) at dinner that night, and were left with the lingering realization that building these relationships between our cities was tiring, important, wonderfully fun work.
We left China a year ago, better for having been there. Our Chinese friends left us yesterday, and we can only hope they left feeling better as well. I know we are better for their coming, and I know our world is too.
Welcome from Wuxi
Our friends from Wuxi came to San Antonio to visit, and we wanted to give them as great a time in our city as we had in theirs.
On the first day, we wanted to show them some of the history of our city. We started with a tour of Mission San Jose, led by a very knowledgeable park ranger, to see the Spanish settlement and the spread of Catholicism. Then we journeyed into downtown for a tour of the Alamo, to explore the lead-up to Texas Independence. After a tasty pizza lunch, we continued our exploration of Texas history at the Battle for Texas experience at River Center Mall.
The Chinese students seemed amazed by the struggle against the Mexican Army, especially as our pioneer guide led us through some of the (reenacted) fighting for the fort.
We took a walking tour of downtown, culminating in a riverboat tour so the students could see the vibrant color of San Antonio daily life, and then we brought them to San Fernando for a quiet moment to cool down before introducing them to the City of San Antonio International Relations Office. They got to see Market Square as we took them to have authentic Mexican food (enchiladas!) for dinner.
Day two, the Chinese and American students served together at the San Antonio Zoo, and then got to learn to be cowboys at a ranch in Bandera. They learned to ride horses and throw a lasso, and then had traditional barbeque for dinner, just like a real ranch hand.
All in all, the first few days of their visit were a whirlwind!
It was the last day and the trip had come to it's conclusion. It was time for the students to check out of the hotel and say goodbye to China. As they flew back the students reflected on their amazing journey. It was hard to believe for the students that so much had happened in such a short amount of time.
Their visits to three distinct cities that had such a variety of history, culture, and chances to learn about China was slowly being processed through remembering moments together like walking the Burnd of Shanghai, or praying to the Buddha statue in Wuxi, or even the painstaking, but rewarding climb of the Great Wall. After another 13 hour flight, SOS finally arrived back home in San Antonio where they were met by their families.
The group of 27 student ambassadors had experienced many things most people will never experience in their entire lifetime. The trip they took that summer would make great lasting impacts on the students. They will become more global, respectful, and open minded citizens that will have a positive impact for our entire community.
On the eighth day of their trip, the students finally got to visit the world famous Great Wall of China! The Great Wall was built in the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe. It is also considered one of the 7 wonders of the world! At the wall, students faced the challenge of climbing the steep, narrow, and uneven stairs while looking over the cliffs of the Chinese mountains. The president of China claims that you can only be a hero after climbing the Great Wall and now our students know why.
After the Great Wall, SOS stopped at the famous National Stadium, the Bird's Nest, for photo opportunities. The stadium was designed for use throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics and Paralympics and will be used again in the 2022 Winter Olympics. The incredible ingenuity fascinated our students and allowed them to see construction using the newest technology in order to provide a facility capable of hosting such an honorable competition. After visiting these sites, the group made their way to a local restaurant for their last dinner in China. The students enjoyed a delicious farewell peking duck dinner, while everyone shared their experiences of the trip.
Day 6 was finally the day for SOS's community outreach program. SOS visited one of the handicapped schools in Wuxi in order to lift the kid's spirits. The student ambassadors did this with american songs, dance, and friendship. Service can sometimes be as easy as making someone smile, and for our SOS community, we were committed to making sure the students at the Wuxi Disabled Center had a day filled with joy. However, the students also presented a dance and song to our SOSers to show their gratitude for offering their time.
After this life changing experience, it was time for SOS to say goodbye to Wuxi. The student ambassadors traveled to the airport, bordered the plane, had dinner, and soon enough were back in Beijing. The group bussed to the hotel, located in the city center to prepare for their day of exploration in the capital.
After a great first day at the Golden Bridge Middle School, the SOS student ambassadors were eager to return to the school to learn more about their new friends. The students began their day attending a class in Chinese culture.This was a chance for our students to inquire and learn in depth the enriching traditions found in China. This was an opportunity for our students to appreciate how different cultures can have people come together in celebration and good fortune. After the class, the students learned how to write their names in Chinese, and how to make the famous clay doll.
The detailing of each doll was done with a fine paintbrush making every stroke a work of art. Next, the SOS student ambassadors presented to the Chinese students on American culture by using music, dancing, and American slang. After this presentation, it was time for the students to say goodbye to their new friends at the Golden Bridge Middle School. However, each student exchanged their information in order to solidify the friendship that had begun. After the goodbyes, SOS visited Wuxi's city planning department to learn about the city's economy, and future growth plans.
This visit to such an establishment while being led by the city's director, was an honor for our students who had the opportunity to ask questions on how Wuxi was becoming a leading industrial city while focusing on preserving the environment to set the example for other cities. As the day came to an end, it was time to pack up and prepare for their departure to Beijing.
Fresh with knowledge from their tour of Wuxi, the student ambassadors were ready to meet the students at the Golden Bridge Middle School, and share different aspects of each other's culture. The Golden Bridge Middle School is one of the top bi-lingual schools in Wuxi and many of their students get accepted to top universities worldwide.
When they arrived at the school, SOS was warmly welcomed by the Golden Bridge's principal and students to receive a personal tour of their campus, then given a tour of the school. The playgrounds had basketball courts, soccer fields, and the classrooms implemented technology much like America. Following the tour, the ambassadors had a chance to hear from each Chinese student a personal introduction and warm welcome. First they had lunch and began to get to know one another. Quickly, the students realized how much they had in common and before long, a pick-up soccer game and basketball game would continue building the community between the students.
After lunch, the exchange program officially began. Students from both SOS and Wuxi gave a presentation on their city, country, and culture. The Wuxi students introduced traditional meals, celebrations, and historical background to their city with pride and was followed by our students highlighting San Antonio's Riverwalk, diversity, and of course, The Spurs.
Ambassadors in China - Day 3: Wuxi
The day had finally arrived when the student ambassadors, and SOS staff would tour their sister city, Wuxi. SOS began their exploration with a trip to the famous Lingshan Grand Buddha. The Lingshan Grand Buddha is the world's largest bronze Buddha statue with an amazing height of 88 meters! The Buddha is located in the Taihu Lake National Tourist Resort along with many other Buddhist sites including the Brahma Palace, Five Mudra Mandala, Nine Dragons Bathing Sakyamuni, and Xiangfu Temple.
Students were taught how Buddhists pray and worship at the temple. They were also treated to a short performance on the life of the Buddha. The experience really helped give SOSers a new perspective on the Buddhist faith.
Ambassadors in China - Day 2: Student Ambassadors Explore Shanghai and Travel to Wuxi
Before the student ambassadors continued their journey to their sister city Wuxi, they had a chance to further explore Shanghai. A half day tour included learning about Chinese culture and traditional art, visiting the Yu Garden, and a silk weaving workshop. Built in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty, the Yu Garden is an extensive Chinese garden located beside the City God Temple. There, SOSers experienced the tranquility and beauty of an original Shanghai landmark. SOS then bussed over to the silk weaving workshop.
Student Ambassadors were able to touch and feel the silk for themselves and witness the process of how it's made. After the tour, the students had a great chance to practice their Chinese by ordering lunch. They used their Chinese language cards, as well as what they had learned in Ms.Whitney's class to order various types of dumplings, sticky buns, and pork dishes. After the delicious lunch, the SOS student ambassadors boarded a high speed train to Wuxi. When the students arrived, they were welcomed by government officials from the city of Wuxi, and invited to a traditional Wuxi dinner.
As the long day of exploration and travel finally came to an end, it was time for the students to rest before they would get to see more of their sister city.

So Much Going On!!!
1. The adoption:
We found out if we're having a boy or a girl. 🙂 No, I'm not posting it here. We have the name picked out already, and we're both really excited. I'll make a formal announcement after the baby shower, but that's not until November. Sorry. We're doing a gender-reveal, so it's pretty hush hush, very few people actually know.
2. Work
I think I have the best group of kids in the upstate. All of my classes are wonderful. I know it's still early, but I have good vibes about this group. I think my schedule is perfect for this adoption too. I have first and seventh planning (first and last classes if the day), so it's perfect for drop off and pick up of baby. Plus, my classes are wonderful and will be easy to leave with a long term sub.
3. Church
The church called and asked me to shadow a Sunday school teacher. Some friends of ours that go there with us and I are going to coordinate days so we can all volunteer together. It's nice to have a spiritual place to call home, and I really like the community. I like getting up for church and going. Sundays are fun again.
4. Pagan Pride Days
Erin and I go every year to PPD in NC. I wasn't sure if we were going to go for the day or the weekend because they hadn't posted the workshops yet, but they did last week after I asked them about it and said I was starting to panic because of the cost of staying. We decided to go both days. We have a dog sitter, and we have two options of friends to stay with for free, so why not?

i was sent a link to youtube, which i swear has everything online, of a seminal moment from my childhood - and i'm talking about none other than randy "macho man" savage dropping the timekeeper's bell onto the throat of ricky "the dragon" steamboat. amazingly enough, it's exactly how i remembered it as it happened. that kinda freaked me out, but then again, i can quote much of "the karate kid".
no matter what you're talking about, you can summon some magic when you get two of the best together. and those two were magic for me and my friends back around 1985.
oooooh yeah.

Another excellent blog from my favorite Gen Y girl Kayla Cruz. Enjoy 🙂
Cheers Michael
I save EVERYTHING for the last possible minute.
And so the award for world's biggest procrastinator goes to…ME!
It's a terrible habbit, I know.
But I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I've come to the conclusion that we're all kind of procrastinators. It almost seems as if society's making the very act of procrastination quite acceptable.
Especially for us twenty-somethings.
We're told a lie repeatedly…here it goes…
There's plenty of time! Don't be in a rush!
We're in our twenties…we have our whole lives ahead of us…no need to be in a hurry.
But here's the thing…
When we think that we have plenty of time, we tend to do nothing.
Think about it…when we know that we have a week before that paper is due, we sit at home watching 100 episodes of How I Met Your Mother. Imagine what happens…

It's been called one of Canada's most-haunted towns, and ghostly residents are perhaps to be expected given Niagara-on-the-Lake's long history.
Founded in 1781, it was Upper Canada's first capital and later served as headquarters for the British Army during the War of 1812. U.S. troops took over the town in May 1813, then burned the whole place down that December.
But you can't keep Niagara-on-the-Lakers down for long. They rebuilt a community that today charms visitors with its tree-lined streets, views of the Niagara River and quaint stores in century-old buildings. Less than 90 minutes from Toronto, in the middle of wine country, the town is also home to the annual Shaw Festival—a summer theatre series producing the works of Bernard Shaw and Shavian playwrights.
October visits hold extra allure: Not only can you celebrate Halloween season with some good-natured ghost-hunting, you'll also be treated to the autumn beauty of red and gold leaves.
Here's our itinerary for the perfect haunted weekend.
4 p.m. Check into the Olde Angel Inn, Ontario's oldest continuously operating inn and a hot spot for hauntings. The inn's most-sighted ghost is Capt. Colin Swayze, a militia officer in the War of 1812 who was reportedly delayed in joining the British retreat because he wanted to rendezvous with his girlfriend. When American soldiers arrived, he hid in a barrel in the inn's cellar but was caught and killed. Legend has it his ghost will not harm anyone, as long as the British flag flies above the inn. Guests have also reported seeing British soldiers in their red coats, a ghostly cat and other apparitions. (If you're staying somewhere else in town, you can still enjoy a fun, casual meal at the Olde Angel restaurant.)
7 p.m. Head to the Haunted Shop on Queen Street, where you can get into the spirit of ghost-hunting until it's time to join the Ghost Walks of Niagara-on-the-Lake tour, which leaves the shop at 8 p.m. During this 90-minute tour, you'll explore a number of places where ghosts are said to linger, including the historic Prince of Wales Hotel, the Courthouse, Apothecary and Royal George Theatre.
8 a.m. Stop for breakfast at Zees Grill on Picton Street for a selection of traditional breakfast comfort food with a twist (think truffle oil in the frittata). While you're there, book an appointment at the Shaw Spa for later in the day.
10 a.m. For a panoramic view of fall colours, take the 30-minute drive up the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) to Vineland Estates Winery, where you can wander through the lovely vineyards as the autumn sun casts gentle light on the vines. Start with a wine tasting at the wine shop and linger until noon for a tour of the vineyards.
1 p.m. On your way back into town, stop at The Garrison House (on Garrison Village Drive) for a tavern-style lunch. Featured on the Food Network show You Gotta Eat Here, this spot is popular with both locals and tourists, thanks to its fun atmosphere and tasty meals. Try the Garrison Beef Brisket Burger, served with red wine onions, double-smoked bacon, beer mustard and horseradish mayo.
2:30 p.m. Shop the town's main street area, elegantly decorated for every season and lined with unique stores like The Viking Shop, Wearable Art, Sylvia's Antiques and Just Christmas (for gift and holiday decor ideas.)
4 p.m. Relax at the Shaw Spa on Picton Street with some vinotherapy—scrubs and wraps using grapes and wine as main ingredients.
6 p.m. Opt for an elegant meal at Peller Estates, where you'll dine overlooking the vineyards.
7:30 p.m. Be on time for a ghost tour at Fort George, which starts at the visitor's centre and goes on to explore the historic fortress—reportedly haunted by many of the War of 1812 soldiers who fought and died there. You may get to meet Sarahann, a little-girl ghost known to follow visitors through the fort. (Tours are popular, so pre-booking is recommended.)
7:30 a.m. Rise early, grab breakfast to go at The Little Red Rooster restaurant on Mary Street, then take a leisurely drive (30 minutes each way) along the Queen's Parade/Niagara Parkway to Niagara Falls to see the dramatic fall colours along the steep banks of the Niagara Gorge. Afterward, return to town and take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage as your driver points out the town's highlights.
Noon Go to The Irish Harp Pub on King Street for a filling, pub-food lunch before heading out. On the drive home or back to the airport, enjoy some last glimpses of the surrounding hillsides, bright with reds and golds and sparkling vineyards.
No wonder the ghosts want to hang around.
Getting There: WestJet flies to Toronto 90 times a day from 18 Canadian, eight U.S. and 20 international cities, and to Hamilton five times a day from four Canadian cities.

We're thrilled to share the story of wars, the melodic hardcore mob from Rugby, UK who've just signed to Spinefarm Records.
Here, vocalist Rob Vicars talks openly about the band's collective struggle with anxiety, self-doubt and other forms of mental illness, and how it's all influenced the themes of their debut album, We Are Islands, After All.
"Having fought and mostly lost against the tumultuous, disparaging, sniping echoes of my own mind for as long as I can remember, it's one thing experiencing this ravage yourself, riding that wave through an unfeeling education and being dashed against the rocks of the 'real world' in perfect sequence; it's another entirely seeing it impossibly intensified in those closest to you.
My tangles with the emotional well locked up inside my head left me clinging by fingertips, heels clattering away at a snapping sense of self-loathing, of corroding anxiety and simple, irrevocable disbelief; but cling I did. Having watched my best friend be eaten away by the devastation of a cyclical force that only he can see, feel, hear, experience, it's easy to believe we are all eventually left stricken and helpless in one way or another. In wars, this turmoil is channelled and poured out, often contrary to some perceived notion of intention, into something creative and tangible, and that is how we carry on.
''wars' seemed to be such a fitting encapsulation of our words and our noise.'
As people, we've been writing music for a long time, and whether this subject matter was a bit of an inevitability, or the time simply aligned in such a way (which it certainly has for some other stuff we've experienced as a band so far), 'wars' seemed to be such a fitting encapsulation of our words and our noise. We were writing before we had the name, and when we came to look at the ideas that had occurred naturally when we wrote, this concept of internal conflict was present throughout. In some ways you feel bound to create what you create, what you put out is a product of yourself influenced by the bellowing, the silence, the disquiet of the mind you live with.
Writing music, playing music, contorting about to a violence you've created is a catharsis I simply cannot describe. It's an addiction, something that I know feeds the strength that exists in you, at times when that strength is so disarmed by that deep-seated, echoing insistence that you are not enough.
Of course, I've also seen that turbulence render even the most effective of cathartic, release-valve-esque tools useless; when you can't get out of bed and pick up a guitar or a notebook, when going for a walk, or moving from bed to sofa, something that you know will help, is too much.
Watching this happen to someone so close to you leaves you seemingly adrift, helpless, frustrated, alone. But pushing through that sense of inertia is vital if you're on the other side, if you can, because that person needs you – if only for a text or a phone call, an interaction which might seem passing, or repetitive, but could be the difference that keeps someone sheltered from the storm of themselves for another day.
wars have recently recorded an album, and these subjects, these invisible battles, permeate throughout. It seems they are at the forefront of our lives in the smallest and the largest of ways always, and finding a creative skeleton to stretch them over is a unique thing. Letting those darkest days come out of you in tactile forms is something I can attest to being entirely worthwhile, on the occasion you can grasp at it.
'In our first two singles, the tracks tackle this sense of dread that comes from the sudden idea that you don't know yourself.'
In our first two singles, the tracks tackle this sense of dread that comes from the sudden idea that you don't know yourself. When you're consumed by ambivalence and indecision, when your actions don't echo the things you feel you know about yourself, it can leave a residual sense of loss and anxiety, something that in turn eats its way into other parts of your life. The latter single, The Art of Not Knowing discusses dealing with the problem more directly than some of our other songs; learning in some ways, to live with those demons, and turn that disparity into art.
I am lucky to have clung to the walls of that well, lucky to have such a platform for catharsis, lucky to know so many brilliant people who talk, discuss, support and prioritise the issue of mental health. Whether you are in the clutches of your demons yourself, or are close to those that are struggling; I can but tell you from some small experience to look for a creative release, find a way to occupy that mind and banish those thoughts through your fingertips. It won't always be the answer, but it may at least provide some momentary refuge. Most importantly, love each other, always, fiercely, and never forget how much difference a simple message to one another can make."
wars – We Are Islands, After All, is out 27 January 2017.

The Empty Cup
1 comment:
I am like this :). I start to think I know it all, because I can recite and feel a truth. Sometimes I am even dogmatic on one truth, that all other doors for learning are shut. Then when by chance I do learn something new, I am so humbled to think that I couldn't learn this principle earlier.
My example: I was having a difficult time feeling love for a young woman that I know who is a member of the church who started having sexual relations with another member of the church, out of wedlock, became pregnant (and then, I believe, had an abortion). I was so busy criticizing her decisions in my mind (and heart) and thinking that I knew best what her next step should be, that I forgot that Heavenly Father loved her and was in charge. When she shared her story with me about Heavenly Father's hand in her life, I knew that he loved her and that he was trying to get her back on the right path (but he wasn't going to remove her agency, he was doing it through love). I was humbled to discover that I had a false belief that Heavenly Father only helps and loves those who don't make mistakes or wrong choices. Of course, I had ignored the fact that he helps me and loves me even though I make mistakes (I forget about my own mistakes or at least minimize them in my mind).

'We can not change the cards we are dealt, just the way we play the hand.'
Taken from Randy Pausch's presentation 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.'
Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at his University Sept. 18, 2007. In his moving talk, Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals. Its worth a watch. Randy continues to write, inspire and strive for his dreams.

I'm on the kettlebell injured list.
The first day I got my set, I lifted the bells a lot. Then, I lifted them a lot more. The next day I was pretty sore, but it was all good sore. The day after, I brought a one pood bell in to work to show to some folks, and strained my shoulder muscles doing presses. High-rep, high-weight presses without warming up first, while still quite sore from the previous day, not a good idea.
The sore shoulder muscles turned into a stiff neck, and I had a pretty broken up sleep that night. Neck was so stiff and sore, I couldn't find a comfortable position on the pillow to sleep in. It really hurt. If I get the idea to overdo it with the kettlebells in the future, or to lift them casually in a "fun" manner, I hope to come back here and read this message for myself: it really hurt!
Yesterday, I got some gear to aid in the recovery. The best purchase was a couple of heat packs. Pop them in the microwave for a couple minutes, and you've got twenty minutes of heat to soak into the muscles and relax them. I should have gotten these a long time ago, as they'll be great even when I've got just a bit of regular muscle sorenss. I bought some "Let Go Liniment" from Gaia Garden, which is a rub of infused oils of juniper and pokeroot in olive oil, tinctures of cramp bark and lobelia, and essential oils of ginger and black pepper. I also got some more Bone, Flesh and Cartilage tincture to aide the body in any healing. I'm not sure if this is necessary, as I don't know if I caused any damage that requires significant healing, or if I've just made the shoulder muscles very cranky. I can use my injured shoulder without pain, but it certainly doesn't want to try lifting anything heavy right now. However, I was out of the stuff, and it's something I like to have around the house, as I do seem to be injury prone these last couple years.
I had massage therapy today, which was great, and really helped loosen up the shoulder so that it's starting to feel more normal. The neck is still sore and weak, but at least it's not complaining while at rest anymore. Hopefully I'll be all mended in a few days, and nothing is torn or seriously damaged that'll put me out for longer than that. The book Natural Flexibility has some good advice on sussing out if you're ready to start easing back into fitness or not: you do a series of moves where you lightly engage a body part, 10 seconds lightly at first, then 30 seconds at a time with increasing pressure. With the shoulder this involves pressing and pulling with the hands together in various positions. If the pain feels less during these moves, then your good to go. Otherwise you need to hold back for longer. If the pain gets worse, then it's probably quite serious and you should see a doctor. I'm definitely going to go at least a week without using the bells. The break will do me good, as I've been going at it three times a week for nine weeks in a row, and the body could use a chance to catch up.
But hopefully I will remember to respect the kettlebells in the future. They're loads of fun to workout with, but they're not something for just playing around with.

Clergyman admits abusing boys
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio A monsignor who retired last month has admitted to sexually abusing two brothers more than 30 years ago, the Youngstown Roman Catholic Diocese said on Friday.
The brothers told diocese officials in January that Monsignor Robert E. Reidy abused them while he was an associate pastor at St. Nicholas Church in Struthers from 1965 to 1966.
The monsignor admitted this did happen, said Nancy Yuhasz, the diocesan chancellor.
Monsignor Robert Siffrin, the Youngstown Diocese's vicar general, said that after learning about the accusations, church officials confronted Msgr. Reidy, who had been pastor with Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Niles since 1999. Msgr. Reidy, 66, was removed from the ministry after the allegations became known, Ms. Yuhasz said.
He retired effective April 2 and was sent for counseling, Msgr. Siffrin said.
He will no longer be able to act publicly as a priest but will be able to celebrate Mass and other sacraments privately, Ms. Yuhasz said.
Msgr. Reidy spent much of his career as a Navy chaplain. He also served as director of the Jerusalem Office of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association.
Bishop Thomas J. Tobin asked Pope John Paul II to make Reidy a monsignor in 1997. He is a prelate of honor, the highest of two designations of monsignor.
Mahoning County Prosecutor Paul Gains said the Reidy case was one of eight cases of sexual abuse he recently reviewed.
Mr. Gains said the most recent case was 1973 the oldest was 1948 and that none of the cases could be prosecuted because the statute of limitations had passed.
The statute of limitations for prosecuting pre-1999 sexual abuse cases is six years from the time of the offense, or, in the case of a minor, six years after the victim turns 18. The statute of limitations was extended to 20 years in 1999.
Last month, it was disclosed that two priests ousted by the Youngstown diocese in the 1980s after being accused of sexually abusing children later obtained jobs in other dioceses.
The diocese has about 262,000 Catholics in Ashtabula, Columbiana, Mahoning, Portage, Stark and Trumbull counties.

text: On Coast to Coast they're always talking about the bees and how they're disappearing. What the hell is up with this? They're not simply dying, because nobody is finding bee bodies. They're just vanishing off the planet. I've heard theories that run the gamut from blaming Global Warming, to commercial beekeepers who have disrupted the geometry of honeycombs, to cell phone usage. I'd love to know the real story (not that I'm terribly devastated about this, because I'm allergic to bees, but I do wonder what's happening to them). Does anybody have any ideas?

Lohan on the mend ...
In her first interview since her October hospitalization for fever and headaches, actress Lindsay Lohan said that her health woes were caused by exhaustion, reported USA Today.
"I was overtired and working myself to death," Lohan, 18, told Jane magazine. "When you're young, you think you can just keep going and going."
When she got sick, she went to the home of then-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, 24. "He tried to take care of me, and I'm screaming in the bedroom. So I went to my doctor, and he was like, 'We need to take you to the emergency room.' "
Her five-day hospital stay was relaxing, "because I couldn't work. No one could bother me."
Lohan, who has since broken up with Valderrama, also said she wants to get married young.
"I want to be a young mom," she said.
On the offensive
Singer Sheryl Crow testified in state Supreme Court that she was concerned about her family's safety after she learned an alleged stalker had asked them to help contact her.
Crow, who appeared relaxed on the witness stand, said she heard about the accused stalker, Ambrose Kappos, from her father, attorney Wendell Crow, who told her Kappos had visited him in his law offices in Kennett, Mo., with a purported message from God.
"Did that give you cause for concern?" the pop rocker was asked by Assistant District Attorney Christopher Hill.
"Absolutely," Crow replied. "I was concerned about my family."
Kappos, 38, is being tried in Manhattan on charges of burglary and stalking. He allegedly pursued Crow from July 2002 until his arrest on Oct. 6, 2003, at the Hammerstein Ballroom, about four blocks from the Empire State Building.
U2 hits the street ...
Taking a page from the Rolling Stones, who once rode around the streets of New York on the back of a flatbed truck to promote an album, Irish rockers U2 turned heads and jammed traffic Monday afternoon in Manhattan as they did the same, with a helicopter in tow, before rolling into Brooklyn's Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park for an impromptu free concert to promote its new album, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," which arrives in stores today.
The 45-minute concert, held at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge, drew about 4,000 U2 faithful who bailed on work and school for a sneak preview of the album.
The music may have been fresh, but fans' voices rang out in unison with the band's -- even on new songs.
"How do you guys know this (stuff)?" the group's lead singer Bono quipped before heading into the new track "Original of the Species," a veiled reference to the massive unauthorized Internet leaking of the new CD two weeks before its release date.
The gig was taped by MTV, which plans to air the footage Dec. 8.
Quivers looks at TV ...
Robin Quivers, shock jock Howard Stern's longtime sidekick, is making a solo move toward television.
Quivers has signed a deal with Sony Pictures Television to develop a syndicated talk show for daytime TV, the company has announced.
The potential series could debut by fall 2005. Quivers will continue her work on Stern's radio show while developing her TV show, Sony said.
There was no indication whether she planned to remain with Stern if her show gets a green light. A call to her manager in New York was not immediately returned.

My third novel, Their Works Shall be in the Dark, is now available on Amazon.
The book follows a group of teenage Mormon boys as they secretly engage in behavior that is expressly forbidden by their religion. As they delve deeper into experimental sin, their relationships with their families, with their beliefs, and with each other are all put to the test.
This is probably the most personal thing I've written in a very long time. I drew heavily upon my own Mormon upbringing to flesh out the lives of my characters. And on a more basic level, the reasoning behind the book is a kind of personal quest of mine.
I began writing it because I was frustrated by my inability to relate the negative aspects of Mormonism in brief conversations. Whenever my religious background is brought up around friends, acquaintances or coworkers, I find it very difficult to explain the amount of damage the church can do its members. To most of the population that's even heard of it, Mormonism is just a weird but harmless little religion. To some who have lived it, it can be anything but harmless.
So I set out to write an interesting, character-driven story that could immerse the reader in the culture of mainstream Mormonism and illustrate some of the ways it can affect people's lives, for good or for ill. I didn't want to write a novel full of hatred and vitriol, so I strove to produce a manuscript that presented Mormons in a positive light while revealing some of the less glamorous underpinnings of their faith.
I hope you'll check it out!

When my daughters, Mallory and Sophia, originally told me that they wanted to get baptized, I'm ashamed to say I told them they should wait until they were sure.
How sure should one be when one gets baptized? In the Bible, believers were baptized immediately upon profession of faith. There was no "Wanna wait it out and see if it sticks?" or "Are your motives right?" questions. It was part and parcel of their conversion. And yet, there I was wondering if my girls (ages 11 and13 at the time) only wanted to do it because their friends were. Just to put some perspective on my stupidity, I was basically saying, "I'm sorry, kids, but just because everyone else is following Jesus, doesn't mean you should too."
I confess that some of my skepticism has come from witnessing those who have been immersed in the waters of baptism subsequently leave their faith behind. I was watching a video from our church of a service a few years back and almost 1/2 of those who were baptized had either left the church or were no longer following Jesus. Baptism is certainly no locked it, double-stamped it magic formula for our faith.
I have also known Satan to increase his attack on believers soon after baptism. Has God been glorified through your testimony? The enemy will find any way he can to discredit you. What are your areas of weakness or temptation? He will do what he can to reduce your faith and your witness. Perhaps there was a sense of protecting my kids in order to maintain that glow of Amazing Grace that young believers have.
My girls have actually both been believers for almost a decade. Their decision to follow Christ when they were little was real and true. Know how I know? They have a hunger and thirst for more of God. They are the ones to challenge me to keep up our family devotions or search scripture for answers to life's tough questions or to go to prayer first about a problem. These girls are not immature in their faith by any means. Baptism was the very right choice for both of them. Of course it was, the first time.
When the announcement was made that we would be having another baptism service at church, Sophia said, "I'm getting baptized this time and you can't stop me." That shocked me into celebrating their decision to follow Jesus in this step of obedience. The wonderful news was that they were STILL doing it with friends! I hadn't totally messed up! What would make it even more special is that my husband would have the honour of baptizing both of them.
They spent time working on their testimonies, without any help from Mom and Dad I'll have you know. It was so cool to hear them articulate in their own words the point at which they received Jesus. Mallory talked about how brave she was as a young child to tell others about Christ and wished to continue in her boldness throughout her teens. The verse she shared was Philippians 1:20:
For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.
Sophia remembered living in Ghana and having bad dreams. This is when she first understood that Jesus was with her and she did not need to be afraid. His real presence comforted her. She has since been challenged since going to camp in the summer to recognize that every choice we make has an impact, either positive or negative. She was thrilled to find the following verse on her own and has made it her life verse (especially since her name means Wisdom).
Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. (Proverbs 8:10-11)
When the girls walked into that tank in their mini white choir robes, when they allowed their Daddy to show them where to stand and position them in front of the mic, when they read out their stories, when John-Mark lowered them into the water and raised them up again in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you can bet that my face was as wet as theirs, with tears.
Sophia trusting Jesus and her Daddy (Photo credit: Jennifer Webb)
A friend told me after the service that I could now die happy. She was right. This turned out to be what may be the proudest moment I would witness for my girls because I would choose Jesus for them above anything. Yes, above riches, above success, above recognition, above marriage or careers. They have already attained what I would want most for them, anything else is a bonus.
And to think I told them to wait.
