Getting Uncluttered
I have been trying to find God again, to locate His presence in my life.
It seems as if I have been a scrambled mess lately, worried and anxious and stressed, trying to cram in far too much into tiny crevaces of time, with wild expectations that have little bearing on reality.
My mind, my spirit, was cluttered with objects that were taking up way too much space: the running commentary in my head; the burden of expectations; the drive to win; the deadline; the need for approval, acknowledgement and recognition. The longing for security.
But I couldn't calm the thoughts.
They were running wild, like a herd of deer fleeing a viscious predator. The beating hooves made tracks all over my mind such that I was going in circles, unaware of my self, my own being, of God's presence here.
A friend reminded me of the benefits of practicing contemplative prayer and meditation. Something to bring me back to my simple practice of faith. That's what I want – to practice faith. To remember what faith is, rather than relegating it to a throwaway word from the bucket of stuff I left in the basement of my youth.
I started. Twenty minutes a day, that's all. I told my prayer partner to ask me how I was doing with it, to keep me accountable. Because that's what I need.
In the mornings, before everything starts, I stop, sit in my chair, and breathe deep. It's a breath of sun, of light, of new faith, and it is starting to clear the way – to make room for my soul.

Being. I'm your balcony person, Bradley. Standing quietly, breathing with.
October 17, 2010 2:47 pm
"Scrambled mess" – I've been looking for those words. As I continue through a study I'm doing "Discerning the Voice of God" I realized how fully scrambled I truly was/am and it has indeed quieted my head, settled my heart, and opened my eyes and ears to what He's really saying. But I'm already worried that when this course is over, what will happen? Back to the rat race? I pray not….
October 17, 2010 3:20 pm
perceived expectations are altered in the sitting, the space , the quiet.
sometimes enough for you to find this peace you are seeking I hope.
October 17, 2010 6:16 pm
I wonder about people like us. Business is complicated. Management is never easy. The rules change. The expectations are increased. Rarely do we have fewer requirements in life. So it's easy to look back and wonder, how in the world we got this wrapped up.
I remember my grandpa with a big tangle of fishing line, slowly pulling it out, knot by knot.
October 17, 2010 7:02 pm
Ditto. I never set out to be this scrambled. It just sort of happened. And it's so hard to be intentional when it requires changing your practice. I am letting you go before me on this one.
October 17, 2010 6:50 pm
Breathing is good. Inhale deeply. Exhale deeply. In Lamaze, we called those "deep cleansing breaths."
As you're praying, remember that it's about relationship. Even in our attempts to set things right, we can focus more on "doing" and on "doing it right" than on being in relationship with the One who loves us more than we can ever imagine.
Be present, breath Him in. And enjoy the relationship.
PS I rang the bell for you today. 🙂
October 17, 2010 7:53 pm
about that photo…
got to tell ya…on the other side of that building
is a huge ammount of clutter, and if anyone should walk
around in it, they would probably find themselves falling
through a very old and rotten cellar door.
you have my stamp of approval, bj.
even when you're a scrambled egg…i mean mess.
October 18, 2010 11:52 am
Bradley, thanks for making others of us feel better with your honesty and transparency – because you're far from alone! For me it is a constant battle – it ebbs and flows but there is always too much noise in my head, seeking to drown out the truly important. I try to start my day with my first conscious thoughts being a focus on God – not even just on my relationship with Him, but His intrinsic glory, majesty, mercy, grace, justice, love. It helps, at least a bit and for a little while. A reminder to you of what you've pointed out to me, though – this stress, confusion, struggle isn't wrong in itself – Jesus in Gethsemane wasn't just under great stress, but surely was bombarded with all the concerns of his responsibility to save the world. He had to fight through it, and he did it in prayer, solitary contemplation and ultimately in trust and obedience. You're definitely on the right track.
October 18, 2010 3:32 pm
"I have been trying to find God again, to locate His presence in my life."
…I kinda was right there lately. Just a couple of days ago.
October 19, 2010 6:00 pm
I am attending a counseling workshop and something Dr. Henry Cloud said yesterday resonated with me as it relates to my relationship with God. He gave the analogy of a duck in water. If he is splashed with water it just rolls off his back. We need an opening to let God's grace in or we are like the duck. I believe that your contemplative prayer and meditation is creating that opening for God.
Please keep us posted. I am with Susan…you are going before me. Hopefully I am not to far behind.
October 21, 2010 7:12 am
Recognizing the craziness is the first step, yes? But that's usually where I stop. Taking action takes courage and determination…and God, of course. A prayer partner…this is not something I've heard of…but it sounds intriguing.
Wishing you peace in the midst…
October 23, 2010 11:40 am
I am having this problem in the worst way since returning from Texas! Take a few days off and mamma pays for it for weeks!
Can we go back?
Okay. So maybe your solution is a more realistic one. Besides, I don't think my laundry pile could take another trip from me right now!
October 25, 2010 12:18 am

I've asked the Lord to both inspire you to keep this commitment, and feed you with such delicacies that you'll long for this time each day and become lost in it.

A leading Birmingham independent school has lashed out at Labour's plans to force them to do more to support the state sector, including competing against them at sports.
King Edward's in Edgbaston was responding to comments from Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt, who announced independent schools would be made to take on the state sector in regular matches and debates – if they want to keep tax breaks, worth hundreds of millions of pounds.
The contests are part of Labour's proposed "school partnership standard" which would be used to judge whether fee-paying institutions should qualify for business rates relief worth an estimated £700 million over a parliament.
Mr Hunt, MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central, said: "Over the last few years we have seen the limitations of asking private schools politely. So the next government will say to them 'Step up and play your part. Earn your keep. Because the time you could expect something for nothing is over'."
But John Claughton, Chief Master of King Edward's School, said: "We feel that what we are doing here is almost unique in the whole of the independent sector and it needs celebrating and stating as a response to the implied criticism of Tristram Hunt.
"We are very conscious of our civic and moral duty to provide education for the brightest and raise aspirations in the city."
The school has 850 pupils of whom 193 are an on assisted places scheme, reducing the fees parents pay. Of these, 70 are charged no fees at all and 99 pay less than 10 per cent of the fees.
And in future years, almost a third of new pupils will be on assisted places scheme. In September 2014 and September 2015, at least 40 pupils out of 125 will receive a fee discount.
The scheme is possible thanks largely to the generosity of former pupils – who raised £7.5 million to subsidise the assisted places scheme.
King Edward's claims to be "probably the most socially and ethnically diverse independent school in the country" thanks to the assisted places scheme. Six in ten of new pupils are Asian and one in five are Muslims.
It also runs an outreach scheme designed to encourage pupils from all backgrounds to consider applying to the school and works with 130 different junior schools.
Mr Claughton, in a paper setting out the school's work, said: "Greater diversity has enhanced our performance whilst enabling us to enact our historic purpose. We have not become the preserve of oligarchs because there aren't any round here. We have become more open to all than since 1979."
Some schools have responded angrily to Mr Hunt's plans.
The headmaster of his own former school has said Labour's plans to strip private schools of tax breaks worth hundreds of millions of pounds unless they do more to help the state sector could be deemed "offensive bigotry".
Mark Beard, head of the independent University College School (UCS) in Hampstead, north-west London, said the shadow cabinet minister should be considering "new, helpful initiatives" to raise standards in state schools instead of trying to "tastelessly quantify" the value of public benefit his former school generates each year. In a statement, Mr Beard said: "If the shadow education secretary were to visit his old school, what would he find?
"A diverse pupil population from all creeds and backgrounds, with £1 million per annum granted for fee assistance, the vast majority for 100 per cent bursaries.
"Rather than rely on independent schools to solve the issues for the 93 per cent of children who are educated in the state sector, isn't it time for Labour to come up with some new, helpful initiatives rather than espousing what some might deem an offensive bigotry?"
Mr Hunt said that if Labour takes power at next year's general election, it will legislate to ensure schools only qualify for the "subsidy" if they are judged to be meeting the criteria, which also include providing teachers in specialist subjects and helping state pupils get into university.
He pointed to figures showing that just three per cent of private schools sponsor an academy, while five per cent loan teaching staff to state schools and a third share facilities.

(PRWEB) August 11, 2012
Carzr is a car comparison website that has introduced a new car search engine for new and used car and truck shoppers. Visitors to the site can use the search engine to find the right car to fit their budget. The new car search engine on Carzr is designed to make shopping for cars easier and less frustrating.
This new car search engine is mainly used to find pre-owned vehicles. When the user types in the make or model of a car they want, they are prompted to type a location where the car will be purchased. Once the needed information has been gathered, a list of cars will appear on the next page. The cars are not sorted into any particular order.
From the list, users can then click on any car for which they want to get more information. Each car listing comes with the car's VIN number and mileage, if they are available. Details such as power locks, air bags, anti-lock braking system and other attributes are listed, as well. At the bottom of the page, several insurance companies from the user's area are listed. Some car listing will include pictures of the car's interior and exterior features.
If the user is interested in buying the car, they have three options. They can click on the button that says "Contact Seller" in order to directly reach the car's owner. Users will need to provide their full name, phone number and the best time to call them. Any other questions or concerns can be addressed in the message box near the bottom of the form.
Another option that users have is to apply for a loan to finance the car. Clicking on that link will take users to a third-party loan provider. The third option for an interested buyer is to click on "Get an Insurance Quote". The purpose of this button is to give users an idea of what the insurance rate will be if they purchase that car.
The Carzr new car search engine tool helps potential car buyers narrow down their search simply by selecting a few parameters. The advanced search option gives users a more in-depth way to narrow down their search. Users can pick and choose the car make, model, year and the price range.
The new car search engine searches through 999,098 cars for sale and compiles them into a searchable list for users. Carzr also offers its visitors a list of car dealers in their area which can be found at the bottom of the home page. The new car search engine on Carzr is nothing like the classified section in the newspaper. This new car search engine is versatile and can pinpoint a specific car or price in only a few minutes.
The new car search engine on Carzr compiles cars from larger databases and makes it easier for users to find the car they want. Carzr's new car search engine combs through hundreds of thousands of used cars for sale and aims to give users a list of competitive prices to choose from.
Carzr tries to take all of the hassle out of searching for a used car with its new car search engine. Used cars are added almost every day to Carzr's website so users can keep checking back to find the right car for them.

An idea has been floating through my head for a while now that hasn't been acted upon. Charmer is a funny horse.. over the years I have witnessed some clues here and there and just now finally have gotten a possible confirmation to my idea.
Clue #1: Before Charm would canter beside me, my little cousin came out to the barn for a visit. He and Charm were having a blast playing "tag" in the arena. He would run to one end and she would run down after him.. he would run to the other side and she would rollback and continue to follow…. I tried to do that with her and she wouldn't do it with me.
Clue #2: The big green ball. Several of you have seen Charm with her ball. She doesn't smash it, but on her own, deliberately pushes it all over the arena. In fact, sometimes while I am getting her tack ready I'll turn her loose and she will follow that ball by herself for 10 minutes. If she gets stuck, she'll look over to me and I'll help her out.
Clue #3: When Shirl's barrel horse Rio died a couple years ago, Charm was seen chasing a fox off the property that was attempting to make a little snack out of poor ol' Rio. Was she protecting her deceased herd leader? Or just chasing to chase?
Clue #4: When we trail ride past cows.. she goes berzerk.
The confirmation to my idea came this past Saturday. Shirley delightfully told me that Charm was cutting one of the other horses in the pasture. Charmer had Lena trapped in a corner of the pasture and continued cutting her 5 or 6 times. I am sure that Charm was teaching Lena a thing or two and was quite pissed. Shirl said that she had all the moves and I should get her on cows. Fortunately, I live in an area with a lot of cows.. Hello Wisconsin! There are a lot of cow horse people around here and I am going to do some research and possibly take a cutting lesson or two to see how it all works. Also, when I join SHOW this spring, I'll have plenty of opportunities to learn about ranch work and cows. With this in mind, I've decided not to sell my trailer. I have too many opportunities to take advantage of this year. So on that note, if anyone has a truck I can borrow here and there, let me know!
Here is a video.. if you're not sure what cutting is:
This video is cool.. this horse loves his job!!

Guangzhou Suentek to Promote Own Innovations at SinoFoldingC
Guangzhou Suentek to Promote Own Innovations at SinoFoldingCarton 2013
Guangzhou Suentek Software Corporation is an esteemed provider of printing ERP (enterprise resource planning) solutions. It's also one of the companies responsible for setting the printing and packaging industry's informatization system standards. In 2004, the printing website www.gd-printing.com invited 20 of the top 100 printing companies in Guangdong to join the "Plan to Improve Guangdong Printing Industry's Competitive Power". As one of the 20 companies, Suentek helped to set the standards of the industrial informatization system.
After the plan was formally launched, Suentek visited a lot of companies in 2004 and 2005, looking for ways these companies could innovate for themselves, and doing scientific analysis on the traditional ERP and self-made systems. As a pioneer in innovation, Suentek has learned valuable lessons on informatization management, based on experience, and developed its own system that is affordable and easy to use for medium and small enterprises.
In 2010, Suentek published a report on the results of informatization projects in the "Plan to Improve Guangdong Printing Industry's Competitive Power". The report was published in Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Yunnan and Jiangxi Provinces, to the delight of the industry.
The report analyzed the features of Suentek's system in detail. The system is based on two standards, the data/voucher chain and the automation of data transfer. After satisfying these two standards, information-based management will have complete data, accurate statements and full reports on materials storage, product storage, costs and profits.
Thanks to this excellent information management system, Suentek is already the partner of nearly 70 enterprises.
From August 21 to 23, Suentek Software will promote its innovations at SinoFoldingCarton 2013, which will be held at the Guangdong Modern International Exhibition Center in Dongguan. This trade event is China's only commercial platform to display post-press equipment, consumables, technologies and services for the folding carton industry. Suentek will also showcase the full range of its capabilities, including some surprises for visitors. Thanks to the company's efforts in informatization, China's printing industry is on its way to becoming one of the world's key printing industrial bases.

The SUSREG training sessions are completed successfully in Cyprus within 2014. The sessions are organized by Stratagem Energy Ltd in collaboration with the Limassol Municipality.
The sessions concidered very useful by the municipality members as they learned about energy systems unknown to them such as thermal storage and district heating. In addition, they had the chance to learn the Sustainable Energy Action Plan of Limassol municipality which concerns energy savings and reduction of the local carbon emmisions.
How to involve energy and mobility issues in planning process?
In Cyprus the Local Urban Plan composed by the municipality usually does not include energy issues. It's designed every 5 to 10 years by the government. As a result of the trainings Limassol urban planners started thinking about how to involve energy and mobility issues in their new planning process. Furthermore the urban planners updated their financial skills and learnt how to calculate a renewable energy system investment and the payback time.

Regular price: $20.30
Fifteen Montana cowboys and 500 longhorns are embarking on a one-of-a-kind Wild West adventure: a cattle drive across 1,000 miles of Siberia. The clash of cultures between East and West, American six shooter and Russian saber, begins immediately when a band of Cossacks arrives to escort them to their destination. Cowboys and Cossacks must work together or they'll never survive the journey, which includes a meeting with the warrior Genghis Kharlagawl and his army of bloodthirsty Tartars. The code of the cowboy and the credo of the Cossack offer different measures of manhood - but honor and courage are the same in any language when a common enemy must be faced.
Book Lust Rediscoveries is a series devoted to reprinting some of the best (and now out of print) novels originally published from 1960 to 2000. Each book is personally selected by NPR commentator and Book Lust author Nancy Pearl and includes an introduction by her, as well as discussion questions for book groups and a list of recommended further reading.
This is a great story and a great western. American Cowboys (WE SPEAK AMERICAN, THEY CALL IT ENGLISH) take a boat with over 500 cattle to Siberia. The action starts right from the beginning when they have to drive the cattle into the cold ocean and swim them to shore. A group of Cossacks, meet them to escort them several hundred miles inland. The Americans are led by a rough and tough leader, who is used to getting his way. The Russians are led by a rough and tough leader, who is used to getting his way. These two don't agree on anything and you can cut the tension with a knife. Along the way they have to fight Tatars, Russian troops, wolves, tigers and Imperial Cossacks.
Levi is the main character who idolizes his boss, but he starts to idolize the Russian leader, which leads to problems since the two don't get along. Levi is writing in his old age about his adventures. The story is exciting, beautiful and different.
In the story the Russian explains chess, the best way I have ever heard. He also tells a story about swans. If you are not teary eyed over the swan story, than your hollow. Did you know Siberian Tigers can get over 1,000 pounds?
Phil does a great job. Lots of characters and they are all distinct and seem so real.

Would you listen to The Cowboy and the Cossack again? Why?
Yes! I rarely read or listen to something twice, but this story is worth a second listen. I first read the book when I was about 12 years old and I loved it then. When I saw it on Audible I decided to listen to it. I expected to be disappointed as usually old books and movies do not stand the test of time (or the change in age of the reader.) But this one did, I loved it as much or more than the first reading 40+ years later!
What other book might you compare The Cowboy and the Cossack to and why?
Any great coming of age or western. It is actually my favorite of both.
Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante's other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I have not, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him and would gladly do so again.

What made the experience of listening to The Cowboy and the Cossack the most enjoyable?
Wonderful surprise to see this come out in audio format. Buccaneer press re-released this a few years back, in a library edition, and was happy to replace my lost paperback edition. The audio edition was a great way to reread it.
What did you like best about this story?
Courage, danger, humor, growth. A coming of age story, for a younger member of the cattle drive.
There's a reason they made several of Huffaker's books into movies ... they have the ethic, and spirit you expect in a classic western.

Nancy Pearl says in the introduction that she hates the expression about a book that "transcends it's genre," but says she has to use it for this book. I certainly see why. I am not a fan of Westerns, but I'd love this book no matter what genre it was in. Why hasn't this "novel" concept been made into a movie? I loved the story, and as someone who considers herself well-read and demanding of quality, I have to admit that I don't know if this book is well-written or not--all I know is that I was so engrossed I couldn't put it down, I sometimes laughed out loud, and I loved and grieved with the characters, felt moved by events and even held my breath with the tension. The narrator was surely one of the best to make all those characters come alive. I already miss them.

Any additional comments?
This story rolls along with sprinklings of philosophy and human interactions sprinkled so unobtrusively and inoffensively sprinkled in. AND it is expertly performed! What a pleasure!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Cowboy and the Cossack to be better than the print version?
I didn't Read this book
What other book might you compare The Cowboy and the Cossack to and why?
I listened to a book called Take Me WithYou. It's about this man who takes two boys who he doesn't even know on a road trip at their fathers request. Their father is a drunk and the man taking them on the road trip gave them a good example of a good man. It change their lives. The leaders of the cowboys and of the cossacks in the subject book could also be seen as examples to rise to by the men they were leadimg.
Any additional comments?
This is a pretty old Book about cowboys written by a woman. I don't know what The appeal was to me. I had this on my wish list for over a year, and I kept looking at it. Maybe part of the appeal was to read something older that was less tainted by what appears to me to be a more selfish and vulgar and hectic Zeitgeist of the current day. I was not disappointed. These two groups of men were of different nations and, upbringings and were instinctively suspicious of each other, but given the chance, they came to work together and to befriend each other in spite of their cultural differences. The story moved right along and had a lot of well described adventure to it. The author allowed us to feel the strain of the people of the Russian nation of the period, portraying them sympathetically as humans stuck in a bad situation. I think this tale may be a little naive, but I like it this way. I liked that their heads didn't Explode when they disagreed. It's a foul-mouthed, tender, wild ride of a book.
This book is one of my long time favorites and a friend I come to visit.
A timeless classic. The narrator rises to the challenge of multiple characters and accents. Well done all around.
Western genre novels are about trail herds or gunslingers. This is a trail herd story set in Czarist Russia. American cowboys deliver a herd of Longhorns under the escort of a company Cossack soldiers. In addition to bad weather and wolves, the cowboys and Cossacks are beset by villainous Cossacks and by Tartars: lots of action and adventure along the way. Characters are the stock characters found in Western novels and films from the 40's yet written with care and attention. Occasionally, the story drifted into over the top sentiment, but overall an entertaining read. The narrator of the recorded version did a good job.

Heavy cold war undertones with a dash of tree hugging. This was not a western. I was disappointed. The only saving grace was the narrator who was good. Dont buy this one. There is a reason this book is out of print. Lets let this one go extinct.

SMH lauded for patient safety; judge presents award
In a special ceremony Wednesday, Saline County Judge Lanny Fite presented a prestigious award to representatives of Saline Memorial Hospital.
For the second consecutive year, the hospital received the Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award.
The distinction places Saline Memorial Hospital within the top 5 percent of all hospitals for its excellent performance in safeguarding patients from serious, potentially preventable complications during their hospital stays, according to Healthgrades, the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals.
Fite presented the award to Bob Trautman, chief executive officer of the hospital, while SMH employees and community leaders observed. Trautman then in turn presented the award to Debbie Burrow, the hospital's chief nursing officer.
The judge congratulated the hospital staff for the honor, saying it is "a great comfort when you're a patient to look up and see, friendly, hometown people providing your care."
He commended the employees for the excellent care they provide.
When compared to hospitals performing in the bottom 5 percent for patient safety, patients treated in Healthgrades 2014 Patient Safety Excellence Award recipient hospitals, on average, reportedly were:
•73 percent less likely to experience pressure sores or bed sores acquired in the hospital compared to hospitals ranked in the bottom 5 percent in the nation.
•72 percent less likely to experience a hip fracture following surgery compared to hospitals ranked in the bottom 5 percent in the nation.
•67 percent less likely to experience catheter-related bloodstream infections acquired at the hospital compared to hospitals ranked in the bottom 5 percent in the nation.
"Our team is dedicated to personalized patient care and continuous quality improvement," Trautman said, "and this award is just one example of that. "This is great news for our hospital but even better news for our patients and community that we serve," he added.
Evan Marks, an executive vice president of Healthgrades, noted that the agency is dedicated to "providing quality information that helps consumers make decisions based on objective data leading to the best care for themselves and their families."
"Consumers can rest assured that a hospital recognized with a Healthgrades 2014 Patient Safety Excellence Award has demonstrated an established commitment to patient safety," he added.
SMH officials reported that a number of patient safety initiatives have been implemented during the past few years. These include the following:
•In 2011, SMH implemented a Patient/Family activated Rapid Response Team. If a family or patient feels something isn't quite right about the patient's health, the Rapid Response Team (ICU Nurse, Respiratory Therapist and Physician) can be contacted. This team immediately responds to the patient's bedside to assess the situation.
•The SMH leadership team rounds on all new patients daily. This helps to identify patient safety issues and or concerns in real-time. Nurse managers and clinical coordinators also visit patients preoperatively to identify safety concerns or other issues prior to surgery.
•All shift change reports are done in the patient's room for continuity of care and to involve the patient and the family. This provides an opportunity for patients to be involved in the plan of care and to address any safety concerns before the next nurse takes over.
"Safety doesn't' have a beginning or an end," said Debbie Burrow, SMH chief nursing officer. "It's a continuous process.
"It's everybody's responsibility to strive to maintain a safe environment for our patients," Burrow said. "I'm proud of our team and the level of care provided at our hospital."
Healthgrades reported that during the 2014 study period (2010-2012), Patient Safety Excellence Award hospitals showed better than expected performance in providing safety for patients in the Medicare population, as measured by objective outcomes (risk-adjusted patient safety indicator rates) across 13 of the 14 patient safety indicators defined by the agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
If all hospitals performed at the same level as award recipients, 266,813 patient safety events among Medicare patients in U.S. hospitals potentially could have been avoided, officials reported.
Saline Memorial is a full-service, 167-bed nonprofit community hospital that has served Saline County and the surrounding areas for more than 58 years.
Located in Benton, the facility provides a wide range of inpatient and outpatient services, including but not limited to, cardiology, women's services, bariatric surgery, pediatrics, orthopedics, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, adult and geriatric psychiatry, hospice and home health, sleep disorders and wound care.
Although the main campus is in Benton, SMH also manages a general surgery clinic, internal medicine/after-hours clinic and two women's clinics located throughout the county. For more information, visit salinememorial.org.
A reception followed Tuesday's ceremony in the Health Education Building.

The Federal Government (National Highway and Transportation Administration) is trying pressure car makers to put in "black boxes" in the new cars. They claim it is to allow them to get accurate information from accidents similar to the black boxes in airplanes. They would be tracking vehicle speed, whether a driver tried to step on the brakes before a crash, information about engine throttle, air bag readiness before a crash, and whether seat belts were buckled.
With the Feds monitoring our phones, emails, Face Book etc, do you really want them know that info about your driving habits. In addition, I am sure they also will be able to track you exact location in real time and accumulate a trip log on you. This is similar to what they can now do with certain cell phones. In addition, this might also provide information for a vehicle usage tax that is occasionally bantered about at the federal and States levels.
Also consider how this additional data can be misused for political or other reasons. Based on the IRS actions, do you really trust the Feds with additional data from our private lives?
Saves lives? Unwarranted Further Government intrusion? Another way to get money out of us?
You Decide!!!

When I think of you as children, I remember;
the day you decorated the rec room with balloons and streamers. Your dad and I weren't allowed to go in because it was a big surprise. The date was June 23rd, our 15th wedding anniversary. You were twelve and nine years old and had gone to a nearby store to pick up a card for us. How proud you were to wish us a Golden Wedding Anniversary! That card is is still in my box of precious memories.
the time my carrots were hit by some kind of blight. All the tops were drooping and turning yellow. It wasn't till you admitted you had tested them to see if they were done that I realized you had pulled them up and carefully put them back in the their holes.
you presenting me with the biggest, gaudiest earrings for Christmas and I was expected to wear them on New Years Eve and I did so proudly.
you were three years old and you sang We are Poor Little Lambs and you didn't forget the words "Gentlemen , songsters, all full of glee, doomed from here to eternity". I used to sing it because I liked the music not realizing those words warranted the label, Disturbing Content.
you wrapping your arms and legs around me and telling me you loved me. You would hug me so hard it would take my breath away.
each of your birthdays and how as the numbers got higher you needed me a little less and I was reluctant to let go but knew it was healthy for you when I did.
your faith that kissing your cuts , scrapes and bruises would make them better.
the time I cut your hair and you complained you looked like a fluffy apple.
the times I begged you to let me cut off your rat tail but you kept it long after your friends had moved on to more modern hairdos.
your complete lack of haute couture as you wore the crotch of your pants at knee level. How embarrassed I was to meet my friends and see their children in white tennis shorts and shirts!
the time you wanted to paint the walls and ceilings of your room black and I wouldn't permit it . Today you thank me for it.
catching you in your efforts to repair a hole your friend made in the gyproc . You stood with a hairdryer in your hand as three pounds of plaster dripped down the wall filling the space between the studs and puddling around the baseboard.
the day you got your first pair of glasses . You tripped because you couldn't see properly and someone came running to tell me you were hurt. When I got to you , you were talking gibberish and I had to take you to the hospital where you were kept overnight for observation.
the day you got married and I realized you were no longer mine but belonged to someone else. And I was happy that you had turned out to be a person who could give love and receive it . It validated my job as a mother who had held you tight but could let you go.
But most of all I remember how proud I was of the two of you, how much fun it was rearing you , and how I never stopped being concerned about your happiness. You will always be my children no matter how old you become . You were the best gifts I could ever have been given.

Leonard Kraus now enters his seventh season as the Head Coach of the Marshall University swimming and diving program. Kraus has overseen the growth of the swimming and diving program and is looking to continue the progress he has made since becoming the team's first ever head coach in 2002.
Building A Competitive Program
Despite a choppy dual-meet season and a disappointing 4-7 record, Kraus once again had his squad ready to perform at the Conference USA Championships as the Herd's Michaela Sceli became the second Herd swimmer to claim a C-USA title and the team recorded a program-best fifth-place finish. To top it off, sophomore transfer Jenny Johnsson was named the C-USA Newcomer of the Year and Sceli went on to compete at the Canadian Olympic Trials where she was a finalist.
Marshall once again had several athletes set new individual bests, as five records fell, including the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke, the 200-yard backstroke, the one-meter dive and the platform dive.
Kraus has produced a 37-44 record in his first six seasons and a two-time NCAA participant in former Herd swimmer Milla Kuurto.
On Oct. 8, 2001, the first steps were taken in bringing a swimming and diving program back to Marshall with the hiring of Kraus. In the Herd's inaugural season, Kraus led the Herd to a victory over Youngstown State in its first-ever meet and finished with a 5-9 overall record that season.
In his second season of competition, Kraus led the Herd to a 7-9 overall record and a 1-7 record in the Mid-American Conference. The Herd defeated Eastern Michigan to capture its first conference win as a member of the Mid-American Conference. Kraus produced a three-time First Team All-MAC honoree and the 2004 MAC Swimmer of the Year in Kuurto and a three-time All-MAC selection with Erika Nilsson. Kuurto was named to the Academic All-MAC team in 2004 along with Nilsson who also won the honor in 2003. Kraus' athletes have traditionally done well in the classroom, with 14 swimmers earning Academic All-MAC accolades in addition to a total of 19 semesters worth of Academic All-America selections. In 2006, Kraus' squad earned the C-USA Sport Academic Award with a 3.395 cumulative team grade point average, and took the honor for a second straight year in 2007.
The Herd, which finished its inaugural season in Conference USA with a 6-8 record, began its schedule with a quick 5-1 start. Marshall had a strong showing at the Conference USA Championships, including Kuurto capturing Marshall's first individual title in the 200-yard butterfly finals.
Not only was the Herd faced with joining a brand new conference, it also had to compete in 12 of its 14 meets away from Huntington - the fewest home meets since the program's inauguration in 2001.
Marshall accomplished a tremendous milestone for a young program as it honored its first four-year senior class at the end of the 2005-06 season - Britney Brooks, Milla Kuurto, Emily Moe and Casey Mulholland.
Kraus took the program to even greater heights in 2006-07. The Herd, opened up to a 4-0 start that season before finishing with a record of 5-6. Despite the slow finish Marshall managed its best-ever performance at the Conference USA Championships as the Herd blew away its team total of 249 points from 2006, recording a record 381.5.
Prior to Marshall
Before arriving in Huntington, Kraus spent three years at the University of Toledo. While with the Rockets, he was the recruiting coordinator and assisted with both pool and dry land workouts. He coached 36 top-three Rocket finishers at the MAC Championships, 16 of which were first place and 21 school records were broken under his watch (four men's records, 17 women's records). He helped orchestrate a dramatic rise in the overall finishes of his women's team from last in the conference to fourth place over a three-year span.
Toledo's swimmers learned to appreciate success under Kraus, as evident by a women's three-year record of 26-14 and 31-6 for the men. Two Rockets were NCAA qualifiers, while 14 qualified for their respective country's Olympic trials. Fourteen athletes earned All-MAC honors during his tenure.
Before his arrival at Toledo, Kraus was a prominent member of the Muncie, Ind., swimming community. He was an assistant at Ball State for three years before taking over the Muncie Central High School teams as well as coaching Cardinal Community Swim Club for five years. Ball State went 24-13 in Kraus' three seasons with eight All-MAC honors and one NCAA All-American. Cardinal Community Swim Club team produced four U.S.S. All-Americans, two Olympic trial qualifiers and the most swimmers to ever qualify for junior national and nationals in team history. While at Central High, his men's team (11-0) won the sectional and conference title, placing 10th at the Indiana State Championships, while his women's team (9-2) placed second at sectionals and 26th at the state meet, producing three High School All-Americans. Personal
Kraus is a member of the American Swim Coaches Association (Level 4) and the United States Swimming Coaches Association. His coaching philosophy is rooted in recruiting quality people, not just quality athletes.
Kraus received his bachelor's degree in sports administration from Ball State in 1994, where he spent four years as a member of the Cardinals' varsity swimming team and three years on the water polo team.
His brother, Phil Kraus, is the head coach of the Greater Pensacola Swim Club. He is married to the former Joy Gallagher, a former Ball State swimmer who still holds several Cardinal and MAC records. They have two children, Alena Irene (9) and Makayla Lynn (7). The family resides in Huntington.

"But God, Who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." -Ephesians 2:4-7
Wonderful Grace of Jesus
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus.
Praise His Name!
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost,
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power,
Making him God's dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven,
For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.
Story Behind the Song
In 1917, young pastor Haldor Lillenas and his wife were settlinginto a ministry at the Nazarene church of Auburn, Illinois. After buing a house in nearby Olivet, they had little money left to furnish it. Though they were both hymnwriters, they had no money for a piano. Then Haldor found a "wheezy little organ" in the home of a neighbor and paid five dollars for it. Lillenas wrote a number of songs on that instrument, including this one.
This song, with its rolling melody and climbing chorus, became very popular at evangelistic meetings. Lillenas used it in his own evangelistic crusades, and others, such as the famous songleader Charles Alexander, used it often.
The message of Scripture comes through clearly here—you cannot outsin God's grace. No matter how great your guilt, God's forgiveness is greater. Praise His Name!
[from The One Year Book of Hymns, April 22 entry]
"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8

Holy God, in love, became
Perfect Man to bear my blame
On the cross He took my sin
By His death I live again

"When Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, 'It is finished'; and He bowed His head and gave up His spirit." -John 19:30
Beneath the Cross of Jesus by Elizabeth Cecelia Clephane (1830-1869)
Beneath the cross of jesus
I fain would take my stand—
The shadow of a mighty Rock
Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.
Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me;
And from my smitten heart with tears
Two wonders I confess—
The wonders of redeeming love
And my unworthiness.
I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.
Story Behind the Song
Elizabeth Cecelia Clephane spent her whole life in Scotland. Daughter of a county sheriff, she grew up in the village of Melrose. She suffered from poor health most of her life, but that didn'tkeep her from serving others. She regularly helped the poor and those with disabilities, even selling a horse and carriage to give mroe money. Her cheery attitude and selfless spirit earned her the nickname, "The Sunbeam of Melrose."
She wrote eight hymns in her lifetime, including "The Ninety and Nine." A Presbyterian, Clephane filled her hymns with biblical images. In this hymn, she gathers various biblical examples of restoration and protection, uniting them with the benefits of the Cross. Thus the Cross becomes a rock that offers shade to the desert traveler. It's a home in the wilderness, a rest stop for the exhausted wanderer.
The "two wonders" that the author confesses in this hymn are Christ's love and her own unworthiness. These are common themes for Christian writers. Even the apostle Paul suggested that someone might give his life for a good person, but marveled that God showed His love to us "while we were still sinners" (Romans 5:8).
[From The One Year Book of Hymns, April 12 entry]
"And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:1-2
In the Cross of Christ I Glory | by John Bowring (1825)
In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me,
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day.
Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.
In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
Story Behind the Song
"Tradition has it that John Bowring — linguist, author, and British governor of Hong Kong — was inspired to write this hymn by the sight of a huge cross on the ruins of a cathedral at Macao on the south Chinese coast. Apparently the cathedral, built by Portuguese colonists, had been leveled by a typhoon, but the wall with this bronze cross remained standing. The story is unverified, but the image is a strong one–the cross "towering o'er the wrecks of time" above the shore at Macao.

"We are the clay, You are the Potter; we are all the work of Your hand." -Isaiah 64:8
Have Thine Own Way, Lord
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power, all power, surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o'er my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit 'till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.
Story Behind the Song
At forty, Adelaide Pollard was trying unsuccessfully to raise support to go to Africa as a missionary. She wondered why the Lord could so burden her with the needs of Africa, but not make it possible for her to go. During this time of discouragement, she attended a small prayer meeting where an elderly woman prayed, "Lord, it doesn't matter what You bring into our lives, just have Your way with us."
That night Pollard went home and read the story of Jeremiah's visit to the potter's house, and later that evening she wrote this hymn. She said that she had always felt the Lord was molding her and preparing her for His service. Then all of a sudden, He seemed to have deserted her.
"Perhaps," she reasoned, "my questioning of God's will shows a flaw in my life. So God decided to break me, as the potter broke the defective vessel, and then to mold my life again in His own pattern."

SBI tumbles as much as 5.9% post Q1 results as bad loans soar
Credit growth revival top priority: Rajnish Kumar
Defaulters owe 27% of total bad loans to SBI alone, PNB next
SBI waives off up to 100% processing fee on car, gold, personal loans
Loan growth unfinished agenda: Outgoing SBI chief Bhattacharya
The country's largest lender SBI on Friday posted multi-fold jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 1,840.43 crore for the second quarter ended on September 30, boosted by the sale of its stake in SBI Life Insurance.
Its profit was just Rs 20.70 crore during the same quarter of the last financial year.
On a standalone basis, SBI's profit declined by 37.9 per cent to Rs 1,581.55 crore, from Rs 2,538.32 crore on account of rise in bad loans.
Total income on standalone basis increased to Rs 65,429.63 crore in July-September 2017 against Rs 50,742.9 crore in the same period a year ago, State Bank India said in a filing to stock exchanges.
As of September 30, the bank's gross NPAs deteriorated to 9.83 per cent of gross advances, compared with 7.14 per cent year a year ago. Similarly, the net NPAs rose to 5.43 per cent from 4.19 per cent.
Provisioning for non-performing assets (NPAs) or bad loans by the bank more than doubled to Rs 16,715.20 crore during the quarter under review, as against Rs 7,669.66 crore in the same period of last financial year.
In absolute terms, its gross NPAs rose to Rs 1,86,114.60 crore, from Rs 1,05,782.96 crore in the second quarter of the previous financial year. Net NPAs increased to Rs 97,896.29 crore as against Rs 60,013.45 crore.
Total income on consolidated basis rose to Rs 74,948.52 crore during the second quarter of the current financial year, from Rs 72,918.4 crore in the same period of 2016-17.
SBI mopped up about Rs 8,400 crore by diluting its stake in SBI Life Insurance through initial public offer during the September quarter.

Former Ohio state senator Nina Turner is taking the reins of Our Revolution, the political group launched by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to elect progressive candidates — a move that elevates a dogged critic of the Democratic Party just as Sanders takes a bigger role in its messaging.
In a statement Thursday, Our Revolution announced that Turner would replace Jeff Weaver, Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign manager and longtime strategist, who is currently serving on the party's unity commission to reform its primaries.
"We are thankful for the work Jeff has done and look forward to his next project," said Our Revolution board chairman and former Communications Workers of America president Larry Cohen in a statement. "We're thrilled that our board member and progressive champion Nina Turner will be our new president."
But the stylistic differences between Weaver and Turner are vast, symptomatic of the divisions within a left that's locked out of power and arguing about how to get it back. Turner, who made a splash in 2015 by jumping from Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign to Sanders's, has become a superstar among left-wing activists who think the Democrats have become so "corporate" as to raise questions about whether they're worth saving.
In 2016, despite her time as a Clinton booster, Turner was among the Sanders surrogates most resistant to "party unity." After Sanders's Democratic primary bid ended, she speculated whether a "young, new, burgeoning party" would be a better vessel for progressive energy. During the Democratic National Convention, after hackers released a trove of emails from the Democratic National Committee, Turner gave a rousing speech to the left-wing "People's Convention" attacking staffers who had been revealed as critics of Sanders.
Later that day, Turner learned that she would not be allowed to address the DNC — a decision that became a flash point for Sanders supporters. Some of them marched to the media tents around the convention center to say they'd demanded answers for the snub, which never came.
Turner, meanwhile, remained at the convention as a one-woman Greek chorus of progressive discontent.
"It's kind of ironic — lots of establishment folks said they didn't need Sen. Sanders, but it's clear now that they do need him to pull over as many of his supporters as he can," she said in one interview with the progressive online network The Young Turks. "People in the DNC are going to need to work hard to earn their vote."
The Green Party approached Turner to run for vice president in 2016, an offer Turner eventually declined. Instead, she remained a potent progressive surrogate through the election — and after, as Clinton's defeat discredited the party's center-left. She frequently appeared on cable news to criticize the party for not being bolder or not centering on people of color. She also launched a talk show on The Real News Network, a progressive online channel, where one of her first guests was Sanders, and where she criticized the Democrats for betting so much on Jon Ossoff's race for a House seat in Georgia.
"People don't want a substitute for the real thing," she said. "That's what Ossoff was doing — offering a substitute for Republicans."
Just three days ago, Turner joined a progressive pile-on of California's Democratic speaker of the House, who bottled a $31 trillion bill to create a state-based single-payer health-care plan.
"What is the difference between the Democrats & Republicans again?" Turner tweeted. "Oh, the difference between the fox & the wolf!"
And what is the difference between the Democrats & Republicans again? Oh, the difference between the fox & the wolf! https://t.co/wrE43pvbXn
— Nina Turner (@ninaturner) June 26, 2017
Our Revolution, which was founded after Sanders's primary bid ended, has worked entirely inside the Democratic Party. It endorsed the Democrats' candidates for special elections in Kansas and Montana long before the national party plugged money into them; its highest-profile win this year has been the election of Christine Pellegrino, a 2016 Sanders delegate, to a formerly deep-red-state legislative seat in Long Island.

While I need to find the rest of the story, or better the complete interview, the following report from Catholic World News is certainly interesting.
In Christ,
+Fr Gregory
29-November-2007 — Catholic World News Brief
Rome, Nov. 28, 2007 (CWNews.com) – Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople has said that he is prepared to recognize the primacy of the Pope–although he does not accept the Catholic position on the implications of that primacy.
In an interview with a Bulgarian television network, the Orthodox leader– who is himself recognized as the "first among equals" in the Orthodox world– indicated his support for a statement released by the joint Catholic-Orthodox theological commission at an October meeting in Ravenna, Italy. That statement had recalled that during the first Christian millennium, the Bishop of Rome was recognized as the foremost of the patriarchs.
Patriarch Bartholomew went on to say, however, that he does not believe the primacy enjoyed by the Pope in the early centuries of Christianity included authority over other patriarchs. The primacy of Rome, he explained, involved precedence of honor rather than disciplinary status over the world's bishops.

First, Mo Vaughn was sick and missed a start. Then yesterday, he was forced to leave in the third inning with a left hip strain.
"I should've stayed fat," Vaughn said jokingly after the Mets' 3-1 win over the Expos. "I never got sick. I never got hurt. You get in shape and now [stuff] is breaking on you."
Vaughn could joke, because he said the injury is not serious. He expects to be back in the lineup today. Manager Art Howe agreed, but with Mike Piazza returning from his four-game suspension today, Howe might give Vaughn another day.
The Mets have not budged on their offer to Shane Reynolds of a $300,000 salary for this season and a $250,000 buy-out if he is not with the team next year. Reynolds is expected to make a decision in the next few days.
Vern Ruhle, the Mets pitching coach and Reynold's pitching coach with the Astros at one time, said he spoke with Reynolds about joining the Mets. Ruhle declined to give details.
Rookie Jae Seo makes his first start today. His success will likely depend on if his fastball nears 90 MPH, which makes his best pitch, the change-up, effective.
"He hasn't maintained the kind of velocity he had at one point during the spring," Howe said. "This weather has had something to do with that."
Jason Phillips started at catcher and had a single. He was optioned to Norfolk after the game.
Piazza's four-game suspension ended yesterday. Piazza is somewhat concerned about his timing.
"I'm a little frustrated with that," Piazza said.
To combat the potential problem, Piazza has taken extra batting practice before leaving the ballpark for the games.
In his three innings of relief, Mike Stanton hasn't allowed a hit.
Jeromy Burnitz hit his sixth double of the year yesterday. He had 15 all last season.

Before I sent it, I opened a new browser to check Facebook where I could find the governor's email address to provide to my recipients. There, I found three brand new status updates declaring that GOVERNOR BALDACCI SIGNED IT!
Maine is now the fifth state in the nation to allow same-sex marriage, and I could not be more proud of our lawmakers and our governor right now- not to mention all of the Maine residents who supported this bill and spoke out for human rights. This is a really big day and I want to hug everyone that made it possible.
