In the four Gospels answer to the question "where" Jesus is from clearly emerges, his true origin is the Father, He comes entirely from Him, but in a different way from any prophet sent by God who preceded him. This originates in the mystery of God, who "no one knows", it is already contained in the infancy narratives of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, which we are reading in this Christmas season. The angel Gabriel announces: "The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God"(Lk 1:35). We repeat these words every time we recite the Creed, the profession of faith: "et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto, ex Maria Virgine," "by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary". In this sentence we bow our heads for the veil that hid God is, so to speak, lifted and his unfathomable and inaccessible mystery touches us directly: God becomes Emmanuel, "God with us."
When we listen to the Masses composed by the great masters of sacred music, I think of the example of Mozart's Great Mass, we immediately notice how they linger especially on this phrase, as if to try to express in the universal language of music that which words can not: the great mystery of God who becomes incarnate, who becomes man.

Torque wrench
A torque wrench is a tool used to precisely set the force of a fastening such as a nut or bolt. It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms. A torque wrench is used where the tightness of screws and bolts is crucial. It allows the operator to measure the torque applied to the bolt so it can be matched to the specifications. This permits proper tension and loading of all parts. A torque wrench indirectly measures bolt tension. The technique suffers from inaccuracy due to inconsistent friction between the fastener and its mating hole. Measuring bolt tension (bolt stretch) is more accurate but most often torque is the only means of measurement possible.
Torque limiter
A torque limiter is a mechanical overload protection device designed to protect mechanical equipment from damage. The torque limiter trips when an excessive torque load occurs and physically disconnects the drives and driven components almost instantaneously. This protects the machine from seeing excessive loading due to the accumulated rotational energy upstream of the torque limiter. The protection provided could mean avoiding expensive machine crashes or secondary disasters. This is a very applicable means of protection, but numerous factors need to be considered before the torque limiter method is chosen.

There comes a time, usually at the end of a pay period, when originality blossoms in the kitchen. Or, at least, in my kitchen anyway. I had a mish-mash of ingredients in fridge and cupboard and really wasn't sure how to put them together. I knew that I wanted to make soup and I could have gone the easy route and have thrown together a pot of lentil soup but I just didn't have the appetite for it. So I dug deeper. More than a month ago I made a trip to the nearby Asian grocery. It's a place full of wonder and mystery to a white girl from small-town Ontario. I move up and down the aisles with some trepidation as most of the time I'm entirely unsure of what the products are that I'm looking at. But, luckily for me, I have a stubborn streak and I'm determined to acquire knowledge of authentic Asian cuisine.
You see, I love it. When visiting a Thai, Japanese, or Vietnamese restaurant, I'm thoroughly seduced by the mouth-watering combinations of fresh herbs, exotic spices and oils, noodles, crisp vegetables and light meats or seafood. The scent of coriander alone makes me want to order every item on the menu. Not practical, I know, but a great temptation. So as I'm perusing the grocery aisles, some products remind me of certain dishes I've seen or ordered at a restaurant and I gleefully throw them into my cart. Once home, however, I eye the product suspiciously and wonder if at any time I can do it justice. So it gets pushed to the back of the fridge or the cupboard until I'm feel adventurous…or desperate.
Udon noodles were one of these products. They had been sitting on the top shelf of my fridge and greeted me every day, several times a day for weeks. Luckily they are well packaged and seem impermeable to deterioration. So today I timidly pulled them from their shelf and eyed the packaging trying to find the English counterpart to the Japanese characters. It was pretty simple. Bring water to a boil, throw in the noodles for 5 minutes, and drain. "Oh! I can do that!…But…what do I put with them?"
Naturally, there are hundreds of Udon soup recipes and many of them sounding absolutely delightful, but none that called for any ingredients that I had available…which was close to nothing. One called for egg. I had that. Another called for sliced vegetables (carrots and the like). I didn't have those, but I did have green pepper fresh from the garden. Could work. One of the common ingredients was prawns. I had no such thing, but I had some left over chicken. Ok, not even close but if I was using chicken stock (bouillon cubes), then why not chicken? I'm sure what I came up with would make Udon soup aficionados curl their toes in disgust but I have to say, I enjoyed it and so did the kids – and that's key! So I thought, why not share it with you? You might be able to make your own variation. Come on! Be creative!
Mother Hubbard's Udon Soup
Udon noodles (Mine came in a bag with 4 packages. I used 2)
1. Put them in boiling water for 5 minutes and drain. Set aside.
Eggs, 2-4
Butter or margarine
2. Heat the butter in a frying pan and when simmering, add the eggs. Break the yolks immediately so they spread out over the whites. As the whites start to become solid, cut the egg into pieces and fry until golden. Remove and place to the side.
Green peppers
Chicken pieces
(use your imagination here or look up the traditional ingredients…often mushrooms, spinach, carrots, etc.)
Sesame oil (or any vegetable oil)
3. Heat a small amount of oil in the same frying pan used for the eggs to a high temperature. Once hot, throw in the other ingredients and quickly stir-fry until tender. You may want to add a little water for steam so they don't burn or stick.
Chicken stock or bouillon.
4. Heat stock or boil water for bouillon. Figure on about 1 cup per soup bowl.
5. Place the noodles in deep bowls. On top of the noodles place the vegetables and meats (if any). Then add the egg. Finally, pour the chicken stock over and serve.
You can add salt, pepper, or whatever other spices you enjoy. We added a little Soya sauce to the mix which gave it a nice flavour.
Here are some other sites with delicious looking recipes for traditional Udon. I hope to make one of these very soon.

Fifty years of music making in Marquis Hall on the Coe College campus will be celebrated at two upcoming events. Since the construction of Marquis Hall, thousands of students have studied, practiced, rehearsed, listened, and created and performed music in this veritable Georgian structure attached to the north side of Sinclair Auditorium.
Complete with two large rehearsal halls, classrooms, practice rooms, teaching studios and offices, a music library, an electronic music/computer lab, a keyboard classroom instruction space, and a 200-seat recital hall, Marquis Hall is the center of music at Coe. The Coe music department includes seven full time and 25 part-time faculty members.
Homecoming Showcase Concert
On Friday, Sept. 26, the annual Showcase Concert will take place in Sinclair Auditorium, beginning at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public with no tickets required. Over 250 students will be on stage to perform a wide variety of music. The concert will feature the Concert Choir, Women's Chorale, Coe Crimson & Gold, Concert Band, Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Ensemble. Each group will present a 10-minute program featuring music from the 2008-2009 season. All of the groups will combine at the end of the program to present four "Coe songs," as well as Leland Sateren's "Look to this Day," which has become a traditional part of this program.
Following the program, the audience is invited to adjoining Marquis Hall for a reception and to greet the performers, with tours of the buildings offered by students and faculty.
Alumni recital
On Sunday, Sept. 28 at 2 p.m., an alumni recital featuring Katheryne High Levin '78, Jeff Hansel '89 on bass, Greg Kanz '96 on drums, and Alma A. Turechek Professor Emeritus of Music Jerry Owen will be held in Daehler-Kitchin Auditorium of Marquis Hall. Levin recorded the solo CD, "at the corner of God + Broadway," which features 12 unique arrangements of songs with a spiritual dimension, all from Broadway shows.
Originally from Marion, Levin had these songs arranged for solo voice, piano, bass and drums, recording them in Los Angeles with studio musicians. Levin serves as the director of music at the Brentwood Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles.
Bass player Hansel lives in Chicago, plays throughout the city, and heads the sheet music department at Brookside Music. Kanz is a much sought-after professional drummer in the Cedar Rapids metro area. Owen is a retired Coe music professor and well-known composer who resides in Cedar Rapids.
A reception and tours of Marquis Hall will follow the recital. Free tickets for the recital are required by calling the music office at 399-8521.

A. Consider P90X2 the next wave in applied science for body transformation. Like P90X®, it's a complete 90-day program, but with all-new, cutting-edge workouts grounded in the most modern thinking in sports science. It takes the principles of the P90X® concept and cranks up the intensity with exercises that demand every ounce of your balance, agility, core strength, and athleticism. P90X2 is the next wave in applied science for body transformation.
Q. When will P90X2 be available?
A. December, 2011. (Note: a Spanish language version will be available in January 2012.) There are no guarantees it will be available for you before 2012 unless you pre-order.
Q. What's included in P90X2?
A. P90X2 Base Kit:
P90X2 Deluxe Kit:
P90X2 Ultimate Kit:
The Nutrition guide has more versatility, new vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. It's 27 diet guides in 1 to Fuel Your Performance.
Q. Is there a Coach / Team Beachbody® exclusive offer for P90X2?

Q. How do I order P90X2?
A. Starting September 1, you can pre-order P90X2 through Fit Corner Network or at Fit Corner on TeamBeachbody.com (click on the right-rail banner!). You can also place an order by calling 1 (800) 470-7870 (mention FitCorner as your referring coach).
Q. What do you get if you pre-order P90X2 from me?
A. Two FREE bonus workouts that you can use to get in tip-top shape for the New Year.

Q. When will my credit card be charged?
A. As soon as the product ships, your credit card will be charged.
Q. I subscribed to P90X® ONE on ONE Volume 3. How do I place my order?
A. If you have purchased all of the P90X One on One Vol. 3 dvds you'll get a 50% discount when ordering P90X2. Starting September 1st, you can call customer service at 1 (800) 470-7870. Tell the service representative that you purchased ONE on ONE Volume 3 (click link to order) and you'll be given further details. 50% off is applicable to the Base Kit price, as well as the Base Kit portion of the total price of the Deluxe and Ultmate Kits. See prices at bottom of FAQ.
Q. Who's it For?
Q. What types of exercises are in the program?
A. Phase One focuses on your foundation. It includes X2 Core, which works the core using instability; X2 Balance & Power, which incorporates strength and explosive movements; and more. 3-5 weeks.
Phase Two focuses on strength with workouts like Plyocide, combining explosive movements with mind and coordination drills; Chest, Back & Balance, the mega pump of P90X Chest & Back with the addition of unstable platforms. 3-6 weeks.
Phase Three focuses on performance. It includes P.A.P. Lower and P.A.P. Upper, two separate workouts using a cutting-edge training technique used by some of the fittest athletes on the planet. These are a series of repeated movements or "complexes" that will absolutely destroy you. 3-4 weeks.
Some Highlights:
Yoga is now only 65 minutes compared to 90 minutes in the original P90X! No more 90 minute Thursdays!! Also, cardio has been 'removed'. There are no specific cardio workouts (such as Kenpo), everything is interval training (high intense exercises with lower intensity exercises). You WILL be burning a ton of calories. But if you are not a cardio fanatic (running at a steady pace for 60 minutes), then definitely consider adding P90X2 to your workout video library. And, if you are, this will give you a workout like you've never had before.
Q. How many days will I have to workout each week?
P90X2 is now 5 days compared to it's predecessor which is 6 days. It's very strenuous and requires more rest time.
Q. What equipment do I need?
A. All you need to do P90X2 is a couple of dumbbells or resistance bands, a place to do pull-ups, and about an hour a day. A pro grade stability ball, two 8-lb. medicine balls, and a foam roller are strongly recommended, too.
Q. What is P.A.P Training?
Post-Activation Potentiation. Doing a weighted resistance exercise prior to an explosive one can increase the amount of power produced by conditioned individuals.
Q. Should I complete another program before P90X2?
It's suggested that if you have never worked out or are over weight to start with a less strenuous workout program (see next question). You should be a graduate from P90, P90X or similar program. P90X2 is designed for those that are close to their goal.
Q. What if I want a less strenuous program?
A. If you decide you aren't ready to tackle P90X2 yet but still want to get in great shape fast, we recommend starting with a less extreme program, such as 10-Minute Trainer®, Turbo Jam, or Power 90®. Beachbody® offers a wide variety of incredible fitness programs for all levels and goals, so you're sure to find the one that's right for you.
Q. How much does P90X2 cost?

|DVD Deluxe

The True Pentecost
Acts 2:1-13
There is a movement that is not based on mind sentiments but on the true heartset of the HOLY SPIRIT . . . A movement that is not acknowledging a particular issue in our walks with GOD over other issues that are as important. A movement based on the wholesomeness GOD is offering to HIS people as a means of salvation from the old ways.
Many Christians have gone out of the wholesomeness of the Way of Life and only take some paths that seem convenient. So there are many languages spoken in the Church today based on what each faction desires to dwell on when GOD is ready to open us to something better and more rewarding in HIM and also open Himself to us in the same process. Although they are devout people who are holding on what they have been taught faithfully, GOD is saying "there is more to ME only if you can all come together as ONE and take part part in a wholesome relationship with ME."
This movement is meant to show that these languages (issues/elements) are from the same Spirit of GOD and dwelling on one in particular is like shortchanging our lives. The people GOD is using for this movement are also from diverse mono-language backgrounds but they have seen the light and even in neutrality, they operate in all because they have subscribed to the fullness and oneness the Spirit of GOD offers. They wrought the wonderful works of GOD in any language as the Spirit leads . . . and this is because to HIM, there is only one pure language and HE is the author.
These sets of people are first the miracle . . . and miracle is not what they do but what happens in and through them. Miracle is how much of GOD has replaced the world in us since HE had bought us back with His Blood. But this will not have happen to them if they are not in ORDER. If POWER and the Spirit of the LORD must reside immensely in us, order on how things should be must be duly adhered to . . . people and things must be in order for the Spirit of GOD to flow without blockage or hindrance. These are the characteristics of these sets of people to whom GOD would put the responsibility of teaching and shepherding His people:
- They are of one state of mind as related to GOD's Kingdom and their position in CHRIST.
- GOD is portrayed through them in a dynamic manner that is not bereft of accuracy and reliability.
- They will first attract sets of people that are associated with GOD, diligent in their duty from different walks of life because of their versatility both in the Kingdom of GOD and of men.
- They will shatter stereotypes and shook the very foundation of belief for the purpose of establishing the True belief of the person of CHRIST.
- They will debunk every notion of exclusivity that makes people believe some people are chosen to be chosen above all others.
- They will be gathered together from nations, tribes and tongues because their physical location or position or the language they speak would not matter.
- They will be rounded in utterance . . . they will enjoy liberties of GOD because they operate under a divine identity and culture.
- Their focus and agenda is GOD's . . . all their dynamism, efficiency and dexterity point to the greatness and wonders of GOD.
- Their lives will make people hungry for the knowledge of GOD and these are the people that GOD would have touched their hearts to want to know HIM and understand His ways.
- In all, they must be prepared because there are some that are already profiting from the old wine and they will do everything in their power to sabotage the goodness resident in the new wine.

These little guys are Maratus volans, a species in the peacock spider genus. When I say little I mean it -
I'm not usually a big arachnid person.. I'm a little scared when I encounter a big spider in my basement... but as a class of animal I think they're fascinating. So lets break down the arachnids just a little before we dive into the dancing peacock spiders!
Spiders have a hard outside and squishy insides - we've all stepped on a spider before right? Simply put, having a hard outside - an exoskeleton - makes spiders Arthropods. Arthropods are a huge group of animals that have exoskeletons (no bones on the insides, just hard outsides made of chitin and protein), segmented bodies, and jointed limbs. Arthropods include everything from crabs, to shrimp, barnicles, crickets, centepedes, scorpions, and spiders. A HUGE group right?? This huge group is called a Phylum.
So the huge Phylum Arthropoda gets broken down into more "like" groups. Our next breakdown is a grouping of the horseshoe crabs and other slightly spooky critters like spiders, scorpions and ticks. They all have appendages that appear before the mouth called "chelicerae". These chelicerae (mouth parts) are usually small pincers. This slightly smaller group is called the Chelicerata and we refer to it as a Sub-Phylum.
Now we get to the good stuff. Our next "like" group is all the chelicerates with eight legs - arachnids! So we've cruised from Phylum Arthropoda; segmented bodies with crunchy outsides, to Subphylum Chelicerata; crunchy critters with mouth appendages, to Class Arachnida; creatures with all of the above who have eight legs. Arachnids are spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks, and solifuges.
We're interested in just the spiders today. So our final stop is the Order Araneae; segmented, crunchy critters with eight legs and mouthbits - but the mouthbits (chelicerae) must be fangs to be in this group. That's what makes a spider an araneid, is having ALL of these characteristics. If a creature is segmented, crunchy, has eight legs and mouthbits BUT THE MOUTHBITS ARE NOT FANGS then it is not an araneid/spider. Make sense?

A group of friends who go on vacation to a remote cabin are kidnapped by a group of men during the night. The group awakens the next day to find themselves chained and enclosed in separate animal stalls in a barn. When their kidnapper arrives at the barn, he immediately makes an example of one of them, talking about the importance of breaking in a human to do whatever they want. Eventually, some guy comes along and 'buys' one of the girls that's being held captive. She is then "boxed up" to be shipped overseas. The remaining friends must now find a way to escape.
Really? Another torture porn flick? Oh lucky me! As much as I hope that people would finally come to their senses and stop putting out SAW and HOSTEL knock-offs, it seems that's not going to happen any time soon. Sure, some of them try to do something new, but in the case of LIVE ANIMALS, the only thing new is the hole in my wall from my fist.
I do have to give the film props for the tension and suspense. The film for the most part is filled with situations where tension is put on high, and writer/director Jeremy Benson pulls the power of suggestion card a couple of times, showing the aftermath of some heinous situations but avoids showing the actual deed. For those who want the full monty, however, Benson also puts in scenes that show everything, leaving the gorehounds in the audience happy.
Acting is okay, but the problem largely stems from the lack of character development from the script. For us to be scared, you have to give us characters that we give a damn about. LIVE ANIMALS tries to do it, but ends up getting stuck with having these folks go through the whole torture porn ride, and the development taking a back seat. But even all that takes second place when you realize that the film misses out on a big opportunity to distance itself from the other clones.
So the premise behind the film is the idea of human trafficking, which unfortunately isn't an isolated phenomenon in the world. If done correctly, a film that uses this idea could be pretty potent in its terrorizing of the audience. LIVE ANIMALS appears at first to try and do this with the dramatic kidnapping at the beginning of the film, and eluding to the whole 'breaking a person's will' thing. Unfortunately, the film doesn't follow through on the psychological horror it promises. Instead it just has your torture and brutality, with none of the characters' mindsets being changed in the slightest.
Ultimately, the film descends into torture and blood for the sake of, well, torture and blood. Which don't get me wrong, sometimes you want to see a film like this, but only if it involves clich�d asshole characters getting it in over-the-top fashion, or involves characters that the audience has invested time in to care about. None of that's here, obviously. Sure, those who dug HOSTEL and the other torture porn flicks it spawned will like what they see here, but ultimately it's nothing new, and is a 'fire and forget' film.
Video: In what might be an attempt to get across the grittiness of the ordeal (or just a lack of budget), the film is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen that is filled with grain. There's also quite a bit of compression artifacts in some of the dimly-lit scenes (most notably the cabin), and the colour suffers in these shots as well. Really, what'd you expect when the film was initially shot in HD and downconverted? Kind of ugly in spots, but it's watchable.
Audio: The film shows its indie roots with the Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track, which sounds hollow in spots but does its job. Think 'made-for-TV' quality.
A View From The Crate: The Making Of Live Animals is a 17-minute featurette that explores the genesis of the project, which was over a dinner conversation, incidently. And a scene in PINNOCHIO. Director Jeremy Benson also delves into the 'no-budget' approach to certain shots, as well as showing footage of the cast goofing off and having fun.
Deleted Scenes are just trimmings of clips amounting to 20 minutes worth. Most of them involve building the characters a bit, as well as others having a more traditional slasher movie feel to them, which was probably why they were cut.
Lastly, and probably one of the more interesting extras, is Behind The Digital Curtain, which has Visual Effects Supervisor Mark Volzer going through digital effects on a budget. The guy goes over boom mic removal, green-screen compositing and gunshots and bullet hits, showing how each layer is broken down and how they fit together. It would've been nice to have had the 'here's the entire shot as it was filmed, here's how it looks before we fix anything, and here's how it looks in the final film' visual example at the end of each explanation, but these are still quite interesting for those effects junkies like myself.
While I'm not enamored with the whole torture porn genre, don't get me wrong. I liked the original SAW for being, well, original. LIVE ANIMALS isn't a total waste if you're looking for another HOSTEL clone that from the outset appears to do something different, but ultimately isn't. It's another one that you leave your brain at the door for, and if you're into that sort of thing when you watch these types of flicks, then more power to you. Everyone else looking for something new and different will end up disappointed at the attempt.

Golden Gate University Law Review
In a matter of first impression, the Ninth Circuit in Powers v. Plumas Unified School District addresses whether a dog sniff of a person constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment. Because the United States Supreme Court has yet to address this issue, there is a split among circuit courts. The Fifth Circuit, contrary to the Seventh Circuit, holds that a dog sniff of a person constitutes a search. The Ninth Circuit agrees with the Fifth Circuit. In Powers, the Ninth Circuit found that a dog sniff of the plaintiff deprived him of his constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. However, at the time of the search, guidelines regarding the use of dogs to sniff students in a school setting were not clearly established. Therefore, the unlawful conduct was not apparent in light of preexisting law. The defendants, in their individual capacities, are entitled to qualified immunity.

Facts and Photos From Toronto's Roadshow
Thursday May 14, 2009 | Filed under: ASI Shows, Community, Industry Initiatives, Member Benefits, Members, News About ASI
I attended an Advantages Roadshow in the world-class city of Toronto, along with our "True North" hosts, Fred and Leslie Oesen, and wanted to share some photos and information from the trip.
Canada is one of the largest trading partners overall with the U.S. and promotional products sales are about $3.5 billion there. We're committed to the Canadian marketplace and provide Canadian versions of LogoMall websites for distributors and ESP Online - featuring Canadian suppliers - and our best-in-class Advantages Roadshows now reach nine cities in Canada.
I'm also looking forward to seeing our Canadian suppliers and distributors at the ASI Show in Chicago, where we host a special Canadian reception that's typically packed. When you share a border that's 5,522 miles long, shows on both sides are paving a lot of two-way streets leading to better business.
Let me know if you have any stories or experiences from the beautiful Northern Lights country by posting a comment now or email me here.

The most popular of psalms made for all occasions is psalm 23. Books about it abound. Songs resonate through the airways. It is recited at weddings and funerals. This psalm continues to bless and amaze. Over the following blog times I'd like to share with you a type of devotional investigation into some of its verses. I'm sure there are insights you could share with me which I'd appreciate. May what follows be a joy to your heart.
'The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want' verse 1.
'The' emphasises the uniqueness, the only-ness of the person addressed, admired, adored. He is not one of many. He isn't 'a' lord. He is 'THE Lord!'
David is highlighting for us in his testimony a relationship of trust. As a shepherd boy he understood the faith sheep have in their shepherd. He knew their name and peculiarities. It is unknown (at least to me) when and how David and his Shepherd met. This is without doubt, David saw himself a one of the flock. The testimony he gave to King Saul in 1 Samuel 17:31-37 of The Lord's protection highlighted this. Goliath was about to be added to The Lord's victories through David. It is our honour to live in a similar fellowship of trust. It is our privilege to bear testimony, be it ever so mundane, to The Lord!
'Lord' is the translation usually applied to Yahweh. Such a wonderful imagery is here presented. The Creator who sustains the universe is the one who takes David under His care. This is David psalm. Have we the right to claim it as ours or is it wishful thinking? By the grace of The Lord we have His invitation to make this psalm our own. To make that real and personal requires a relocation of our heart, mind and allegiance. We are not automatically in His fold. His invitation must be accepted and, as it were, we must join His sheepfold. In the Gospel of John 10:16 we have the confidence to claim we are of 'the other sheep' The Lord has. David knew His Lord's name. We know Him as Jesus, the Christ, The Son of God! He is The Lord!
'Is' expresses the assurance David had in whom he believed, trusted, obeyed. There isn't a maybe or 'I wish' about it. David would be a silly sheep on numerous occasions but the 'is' remained. For what this word highlights is a covenant commitment between The Lord and His sheep, David. Such a covenant relationship is ours also because of Calvary's cross and the empty tomb. When you, when I realised the meaning of the cross and believed what Jesus did was for us personally, we gave our life and destiny into His keeping. That is why we can say with gratitude 'The Lord is.'
'My' is the personal aspect which should always astound. Why would the Creator choose to associate with me, let alone claim me as His own? John Newton's hymn 'Amazing Grace' sums it up so well. I was a worthless sheep, scabby, wasted and infected with sin, at the mercy of life's brigands. The Lord rescued me. I had nothing of merit, nothing of appeal yet in mercy He claimed me, as He did you! I am still a silly sheep from time to time, but The Lord keeps me in His fold. Why? Because He keeps His covenant. He will discipline but He will not remove my name from His book.
'Shepherd' is for us a warm and meaningful term. As we work through the psalm we will realise some of the ways He cares. However, strange as it may sound, a shepherd was not always held in high regard. The Egyptians in the days of Joseph saw them as beneath their dignity. In the days of Jesus a shepherd was considered a 'low-life' whose word couldn't be trusted. In the spiritual realm of today this animosity still exists. It may or may not be stated, but its atmosphere prevails. Therefore, when you and I say "Jesus, The Lord is my Shepherd" we could be given the cold shoulder. This is why we must know the reality, personally and unquestionably, that The Lord [Jesus] is my shepherd and I am a sheep in His fold. Can you say "Amen" to that?
To be continued.
Ray Hawkins Feb 1st 2016.


text: 'Why isn't more stuff designed so it can be easily repaired?', asks Terry McAlinden, member of the Museum of Bad Design Presteigne and Norton and fixpert, who repairs stuff for fun. A few weeks ago the Museum went to see what was in the waste electronics sent for recycling by the community and spotted that a lot of products could have been repaired, if only we knew how and if only manufacturers made it easier. From Presteigne's 1200 homes, 5 kettles had been put out in just 3 weeks. Terry explained 'often with kettles it's the switch that goes so you can't turn it on, if it's not that the other major problem is a caking on the contacts underneath the kettle, a quick clean and they can be right as rain'. He took the kettles home to check his diagnosis and yes, they were all reusable with a replacement thermal or a good clean of the switch. He commented that "it's often not obvious how you get inside a piece of electronic equipment as the joints are often sealed plastic and even then when you do get in some of the screws have non-standard screw heads. This combined with the low cost of new products compared to repair means waste electronics just end up in the recycling or in the bin." See Terry in action.

10 stories you may have missed this weekend
1. Cyclists urinating on lawns. Motorists driving bikers off the road. Homeowners pelting cyclists with objects as they ride by. Yep, a feud over Barrington Hills' scenic roadways has definitely gotten out of hand.
2. An Aurora man was killed and his girlfriend wounded when they were early Saturday morning while sitting in a parked car. Police suspect the shooting was gang related.
3. Refugees fleeing the latest round of violence in Iraq are seeking safety in the suburbs. Burt Constable tells the story of one refugee who's found a home in Glen Ellyn.
4. Police in Elgin are rallying around one of their own. Just days before his retirement in 2012, former police sergeant Tom Linder suffered a debilitating stroke. Now his onetime peers are hosting a fundraiser Aug. 28 to help with his family's mounting medical costs.
5. As usual, Million Day was about more than just the races at Arlington International Racecourse. Fashion and the social aspects of a day at the track were on full display.
6. Shop often at Jewel-Osco? If so, you might want to check your credit reports and monthly statements after the Itasca-based company announced Friday it had suffered a data breach.
7. What's it worth to Glen Ellyn area voters to keep commercial development -- like, say, a gas station -- off the corner of Butterfield Road and Route 53? The Butterfield Park District hopes $3 million is the answer.
8. Local youth sports coaches don't like it, but Grant High School athletics are on the move. District 124 leaders have voted to move the school's sports programs out of the North Suburban Conference into a yet-to-be-named conference made up of smaller schools.
9. Elgin police believe they've solved a string of robberies at retailers in the city. Authorities arrested a 52-year-old city resident on charges related to three robberies including the Aug. 13 armed holdup of an Aldi store on Randall Road.
10. Fortunately no one was injured, but a fire Saturday caused extensive damage to Gurnee Donuts and a neighboring HoneyBaked Ham store. Authorities say the cause does not appear suspicious.

Shortlist Reviews Recently Reviewed!
Excellent product! Shortlist has streamlined several of our internal freelancer management processes
Likely Extremely
Pros: From an internal perspective, Shortlist greatly reduced our admin time spent on freelancer management and allowed us to centralize many management duties. The platform helped us to streamline freelancer onboarding, information tracking, project assignments, performance tracking, and more. Before Shortlist, we were using several different tools to accomplish what is now done in one single platform!
The project assignment functionality was the biggest attraction for us. It's the most robust I've seen, offering several assignment workflows. Our company works on a bidding system -- freelancers essentially opt into potential projects by bidding for work -- and Shortlist seamlessly supports and has enhanced our system.
In addition, the platform is very user friendly for both administrators and freelancers. Although the platform offers a robust selection of tools to assist in freelancer and vendor management, the interface is clean, simple, and easy to navigate. The user friendly workflow greatly reduces the potential for confusion or questions, which is vital when working with a large external workforce.
Lastly, the Shortlist team is clearly committed to the success of their customers. The team has been extremely communicative, receptive to feedback, and quick to offer helpful insights or suggestions on how to maximize use of the platform.
Cons: There's nothing I explicitly dislike about the platform. However, I'd love to see more customization options, especially in regards to freelancer profiles and the internal performance tracking system.
Overall: A streamlined solution to freelancer management! We used to have a fragmented system that involved using several tools for various parts of freelancer management: onboarding, information tracking, project assignments, performance tracking, etc. We are now able to fulfill all of these duties using one single platform, which drastically cuts our admin time and creates a smoother, more consistent workflow and user experience.

Thanks Justine, really appreciate this!
The FMS of my dreams!
Likely Extremely
Pros: *Integration with Hello Sign takes so much pain out of the on-boarding process
*Speaking of which, the customizable on-boarding is bar none
*Payments are easy to set up and schedule
*Freelancers love it
*Intuitive set up; you can tell it was designed with the user experience in mind
*Amazing responsiveness of team
Cons: Only one: I do a lot of bulk work, and it can get tedious as times. For example, I may have 25 of the same type of assignment going out. If I need to change the rate on them, I have to visit each one individually (can't open in new tabs), change it, and get back to the projects screen, which is now unsorted. So I have to resort to find my items and start the process again.
Overall: When I began the hunt for a FMS for our small start-up, I was working out of no less than five massive spreadsheets -- not to mention the hundreds of files floating around -- just to keep track of our freelance projects and payments.
I found Shortlist via Google search, and from my very first contact I've been impressed with the software and especially, the team. I was able to consolidate all of my scattered processes into one location, and the ability to manage all aspects of a freelancer's work cycle, from on-boarding to assignments to payment, has shaved countless hours off my work day.
I think my absolute favorite part of working with Shortlist though has been the amazing team of people devoted to helping ensure that we have the best product to work with. The sales team wasn't pushy, the tech team is always available for help or improvements, and our customer success rep has been an absolute pleasure to work with.
I can't say enough good things about Shortlist, and how vastly it's improved and streamlined our processes, and in turn, our own work flows.
Overall, the Shortlist team has exceeded my expectations! I look forward to my interactions w/ them.
Likely Extremely
Pros: -The Shortlist software enables us to do our business and be successful
-User interface (UI) is intuitive to use
-Friendly and personable customer support, they want to help us grow (awesome!)
-Open to accommodating and exploring our needs (e.g. updated search functionality based on our needs & feedback)
-Shortlist team has the technical capabilities to support our industry-specific needs
-Most of our users accept and fill out their profile in Overall: -Effective process techniques for recruiting, onboarding, growing, and managing our network of partners
-Enables our business to scale

Thank you for your review!
A True End-to-End Workforce Management Platform
Likely Extremely
Pros: Simplicity to get started, consistent updates, improvements, and new features are released. Software has the look and feel of a proper enterprise application.
Cons: It requires some effort to maintain your database and keep things current but this is to be expected if you have a lot of activity.
Overall: We set out to build our own solution but were fortunate enough to come across Shortlist before we made a decision. Shortlist solved our immediate need as well as gave us features we heavily utilize but had not previously considered, let alone had the budget and runway to build our own features such as Talent Pools.
There has not been much need for customer support based on our experience, but the few times we have needed to get in touch with Shortlist we've been impressed and our needs quickly met.
In short, you'd be crazy to build your own software because Shortlist has already built the features and functionality and offers their solution for a monthly subscription.
Simple, flexible, powerful!
Comments: Shortlist.co is a fantastically versatile platform that allows easy locating, engagement, contracting and payments of freelancers, consultants and vendors. Very quick and easy to onboard preferred freelancers / consultants / vendors or use their database, a logical user friendly workflow to engage with your preferred for new service or product needs, then compare, rate and award. During the project or engagement period you can even manage to budgets and pay them.
Pros: 1. Super easy to onboard freelancers, consultants and vendors. 2. Database of over 20,000 vendors if you don't have a preferred. 3. They provide templates for marketing briefs, contracts and response questionnaires. 4. Reminders sent to participating people and or companies to keep things moving along. 5. Easy comparison of responses for a quick award. 6. Budget / financial analysis provided when move into project. 7. Payment through the platform also possible. 8. Service centre to help along the process or add support where needed (covering when you are away on holiday etc).
Cons: Requires some change management to get people to use the tool, but is about 1% of the change needed verses other eProcurement or eSourcing tools, given how clunky and difficult they are to use!
Excellent product
Comments: I've been using Shortlist for over a year now, and have found in extremely useful tool for managing our agency's workforce. I've recommended Shortlist not just for my own company but to other teams that I now consult with. What it comes down to is that it solves a major issue for me when it comes to managing your workforce in one central location. Before Shortlist came around, there wasn't really any decent options to solve this. I notice also that the Shortlist team has made major steps forward with the UI/product design over the last few months. It's looking great and the new clean dashboard design will be a welcomed addition for our team.
Pros: - I think value for money - you cannot go past this. It's priced extremely well for software in this category. - Nice design. Lets face it - most of these tools look like they've been design and built by the finance team! Shortlist looks more like an Apple product. - Great customer service. When we first tried it out we were having some small issues onboarding , but Shortlist got straight back to me and helped us immensely.
The premise of the platform is great - the aesthetic design and functionality sometimes lacks.
Likely Extremely
Pros: That we can have ratings, reviews and contextual information about our talent pool. It makes curating our talent much easier.
Cons: The design feels a bit dated and the functionality fails sometimes. It feels like a product that is very much still in development and lacks polish. Also, we have not used the Project RFP/RFP functionality as much as originally anticipated - although that is not necessarily the result of the software.
However, the lack of flexibility in modifying questionnaires feels clunky at best and downright annoying at worst.
Overall: The ability to share curation with our talent pool across our various internal stakeholders.
Likely Extremely
Pros: The software is very easy to use which makes it easy for the operatives that work for us to understand the functionality and complete their on-boarding with ease!
Cons: Although the software is very customisable. There are a few features our company didn't need and we would have like to have had them removed.
Overall: The platform has integrated into our business very well and has saved us a ton of admin. Most of all the customer service experience has been amazing and we are very happy with our relationship with the Shortlist team who are always on hand to solve any problems!
Shortlist Review
Likely Extremely
Pros: The software is incredibly intuitive and requires very little training. The layout is user friendly and is structured to get search results as fast as possible. Very editable on-boarding templates to suit different suppliers and freelancers.
Cons: Like all platforms there are pieces that need changing to suit our business, Shortlist have worked very hard to make developmental changes for us and continue to do so.
Overall: We use Shortlist as our supplier, venue and freelancer database allowing the team to search based on country of operation, experience, industry and many other factors. Suppliers upload all relevant insurance and marketing documentation when they on-board to help the team make decisions and reduce email traffic in the planning stages. Post event the team review the suppliers helping the rest of the team make better informed decisions during the next search.

I love Shortlist! Great Features: Versatile and Easy to Use!
Likely Extremely
Pros: I use Shortlist.co to screen, contract and source out my freelancers in my promotional marketing agency. The app is extremely versatile and easy to use. The set-up was tailored (somewhat) for my marketing company. I am very happy with the software and when there is a concern or issue, customer service was very quick (via chat and email) to respond.
Cons: They do not have a mobile yet. I am being told it is coming soon in 2018. It's difficult as most of my users are on mobile and I am ecstatic for the launch of the mobile app.
The solution I have been waiting for!
Likely Extremely
Pros: Easy to use, great customer service, intuitive interface. Met most of the initial needs and their new updates continue to impress.
Overall: Makes hiring vendors a breeze.

Thanks Kevin, much appreciated!
I love shortlist!
Pros: Okay, I've seen a lot of similar types of software, but I love how shortlist does things! They are a true class leader
Cons: I don't like the support but that seems to be the norm with SaaS companies - other than that they're good, they have a good help desk as well.
Shortlist fills a gap for contractors that has been long overlooked.
Pros: Shortlist's focus on 1099 contractors is a welcomed addition to the world of management systems. The concept is pretty solid, but execution still needs work.
Cons: Shortlist relies upon a third party payment processor called Qwil and this can make invoicing and payments a bit difficult. The invoicing system is pretty limited and the site is not mobile optimized, nor do they have a mobile app.
great tool, geat team; simple and effective
Likely Extremely
Pros: Finally a quick and easy way to track, search and reviews all my vendors.
Cons: Some feature here and there doesn't meet exactly my requirement
Overall: I love the team behind the tool. Always there to help and looking for my satisfaction
Vendor Recruiting - Fast and Reliable
Comments: I started using this tool in order to keep track of several projects I had to develop with external vendors which were usually managed over e-mail. I appreciate the ease of use for creating new projects and including internal and external partners on the project. I expect to get more from the app in the future as I keep increasing the number of vendors I work with and the size of projects developed.
Pros: - Easy project setup. Get a project ready to be shared with vendors in no time. - Possibility of setting up deadlines for proposals and final submissions. - Templates included on the App makes it easy to find the type of project you will use it for.
Cons: - No Mobile access. - Sometimes difficult to find the thread to reply to your vendor's message. - Would be useful to have a shared folder kind of feature, to include project attachments.
review of Shortlist
¿If only someone had come up with this idea sooner!
Having personally worked on both sides of the table, it is always painful participating in an RFP process, despite how professional both parties are and how sophisticated the systems used (very rarely) are.
From uploading documents, to communicating between parties, managing budgets and deadlines, I have never come across a solution as perfect as the shortlist!
I highly recommend utilizing this for all tenders (large and small). Life has never been so easy!¿

Dear Richard. Thank you for the review! Much appreciated and the Shortlist team is always here to support you and your clients as needed! Best Regards, Joey (Co-Founder, COO @ Shortlist)
Total satisfaction from the start.
Pros: Intuitive, easy to use, respectful of the actual needs held by those buying the tool. It actually solves the problem I had, and it allows me to go places I wasn't sure I could when solving the vendor management problems with which I was struggling.

Pros: user friendly and great support
Cons: None that I can think of
The stuff Marketers' Dreams are made of....
Comments: Shortlist has finally solved the age old issue of how you allow Marketers to focus on being creative and driving sales whilst providing both CMO's and CPO's confidence that the supply chain is as efficient as possible.
Pros: The team behind Shortlist.co clearly just get "it", from concept through execution to client services they have taken a very smart and considered approach
Cons: Like I said in the subject title, it's the stuff Marketers' dreams are made of. No cons!
Increased efficiency and visibility
Comments: Shortlist makes it so simple to find the right partner for the right project, in a fraction of the time as before. Whenever I need someone, I can quickly search by skills, geography, etc., and can visually review past work, current ratings and even hourly rate, without ever leaving Shortlist.
I believe that when it comes to managing volumes of resources, spreadsheets are just not efficient enough. Lastly, Shortlist has an amazingly responsive & flexible support team who can be reached around the clock.
Great way to manage freelancers & Vendors
Comments: Shortlist is a great way to manage all aspects of the freelance and vendor management process. From screening and on-boarding through to sending a project (and all the communication in between) and payment. It will save time on the administrating the sourcing process and make sure no good partners slip through the cracks.
Shortlist review
Comments: The perfect tool for managing your business - a centralised and customised platform to manage either vendors or freelancers, or both. I find that we need to be even more agile in our workplace and Shortlist allows you to manage this seamlessly.
Pros: * Automation to improve process * Customisation - unique to your business requirements * User friendly
Cons: * Can't think of any right now!
New and excellent way to manage vendors
Comments: Just started to use Shortlist for vendor and freelance management at our agency and we already optimizing work flows (once we got the freelancers to commit to use it!).
Pros: Light & quick experience and to manage resourcing, invoicing / contracts.
Cons: New platform, hard to convince some freelancers to use it. (Though the linked in login helped a lot).
One of the best Freelance Management Systems out there!
Comments: Shortlist.co is a very easy to use system for managing all my freelancers and external workforce. The functionality and features allow me to find, hire and manage freelancers, vendors and contractors much quicker and easier than before. It also allows me to track each worker¿s performance history, which is fantastic when comparing partners to rate and award. I can easily plan projects and manage my budgets within the platform which is incredibly useful. What I like most is that I am able do all of this within one hub. Highly recommend signing up to this platform if you work with freelancers and contractors!
MMO Shortlist.co Product Review
Likely Extremely
Pros: How you could use it it many different ways. Whilst we managed freelancers in a very simple way, we saw the power and potential behind the tool to manage whatever you choose is many different ways. You could have a lot of freedom over how it is set up.
Cons: We had to rely on freelancers agreeing to joining, keeping up to date and maintaining high levels of engagement for full use.
Shortlist Software
Comments: We have been Shortlist clients for about 6 months now and I have been impressed with the updates they have rolled out and the high quality customer service.

Cons: Have not found any at this time.
Manage your external partners with Flexibility

Monica Seles made her TV dancing debut on last night's Dancing with the Stars. She performed a foxtrot in a pink bejeweled gown with partner Jonathan Roberts. As expected (she "can't tell a mango from a tango," she says), she ended the night with fives out of tens — the lowest score of all the contestants — from judges Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Anne Inaba, and Len Goodman. Go nuzzle in the bosoms of your nine Grand Slam titles, Monica, and come back better next week!
Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi — as expected — earned the night's top score of 27 (nines from all three judges).
Watch: See Monica's foxtrot here. And the Gooch with partner Mark Ballas here.
Uhh, what's a foxtrot? Aside from being a fun comic strip, it also refers to a dance step created by Harry Fox and popularized by Arthur Murray. "Slow, slow, quick, quick."
Starstruck by Seles: Tennis Channel dispatched Jamie LaRosa to the DWTS taping (he's blogging about it) and he got a chance to interview the tennis champ. Read the exchange after the cut…
James LaRosa: Interview with Monica Seles
Moments after making her TV debut as a Dancing Diva, Monica Seles took five to talk to TennisChannel.com about her opening night, going form the tennis court to the ballroom, and, of course, grunting. And she brought along her coach and mixed doubles partner, Jonathan Roberts.
TC: No question. You have a huge fanbase.
MS: It's wonderful. I'm so happy. So lucky.
TC: How does it feel going from sneakers to high heels?
MS: It feels different. I'm wearing the lowest heels possible. As you guys know, I stopped playing tennis because of my foot, so I was not about to take a risk here. But it feels great. The whole experience has been so different from tennis but so much fun.
TC: On the court, whether you won or lost was pretty much up to you. How does it feel having this basically be out of your hands?
MS: It's definitely very different. In tennis you control your own destiny, and here you really don't have any control of it. And tonight I got a hard dose of it, so, you know, that's why you saw me as taking it really hard. But it was good, you know. That's why as a professional you're up to it and you try to rise up to the occasion.
TC: Makes you a champion.
MS: Yeah.
TC: Now, let me give you a scenario that will never ever happen.
MS: (laughs) Yeah.
TC: Jonathan comes down with a 24 hour bug, eats some bad sushi, something. And you have to call a tennis player to fill in for him. (to Jonathan) Just for the night. You'll be fine. (he laughs) Who would you call?
MS: I really never looked at tennis players like who would have the loosest hips. Probably Brazilians. Guga would be my first choice.
TC: You caught some flack back in the day about the whole grunting thing.
MS: Yeah.
TC: Now not only does everyone else do it, but they're doing studies now that show that it actually–
MS: (laughs) It works! I know. I'm ahead of my time.
JR: Maybe we need to put the grunt into the ballroom, and that will help.
MS: We'll be ahead of our time here, too.
TC: (to Jonathan) That'll be your job to choreograph that in there. End with a grunt.
JR: Well we do have mambo next week. So…
MS: That's true. We should do it. (She grunts.)
Next stop. Perfect 10's.

In their first year as pro cricketers, England took on Australia in the most anticipated women's Ashes series ever staged.

From the inner sanctum of the dressing room, The Girls of Summer is the inside story of a historic summer.

On the 2009 season of American Idol, in which he finished second place, Adam Lambert proved himself to be really good at wailing high notes, whether or not the songs he was singing actually required those high notes. And now he tells the British press that he's about to stand in for one of rock's all-time great high-wailiers: Freddie Mercury.
According to the Daily Star, Lambert claims that he'll be joining Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor at Europe's touring Sonisphere festival: "The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the band by singing some fucking great songs. It's to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would have been proud of." He also claims that he's not trying to replace Mercury.
This is all faintly ridiculous, but it at least makes slightly more aesthetic sense than Queen's last stand-in singer, the gruff-voiced Bad Company/Free blues-rock growler Paul Rodgers. Someone should make Lambert grow a Freddie Mercury mustache, though.
UPDATE: False alarm.

Welcome to the Aspire Academy, a 4 -16 year old SEMH special school supporting vulnerable children and young people to achieve their educational potential and live positive fulfilling lives.
For the vast majority of students the traditional school model works well. However, for some of our students a smaller, more intensive setup (sometimes with alternative accreditation) is the best environment for them to make a success of learning. We specialise in providing personalised learning programmes for our students, carefully tailored to meet their individual needs. We always endeavour to approach our work with students in partnership with parents to secure the best possible learning outcomes.
My vision for the school is that it becomes a centre of excellence for developing personalised learning programmes to meet the needs of vulnerable youngsters. I want all of our students to have opportunities similar to those found in large mainstream schools, so that they can leave as confident young adults, ready to seize the opportunities of further education, training or work.
To realise this goal, the school worked in partnership with two other secondary academies in 2012/13 in a joint bid to open a new Studio School Academy specialising in vocational learning to meet the local jobs market. This was successfully opened in September 2014 and in the process the Aspire Academy benefited from purpose built and newly refurbished buildings. In April 2014 we became an academy and joined the Wellsway Muti Academy Trust.
The Aspire Academy is also commissioned to provide Alternative Provision to the BaNES area. Students from the ages of 4 to 16 are catered for at three sites - Broadlands School (Primary), BCA School and Bloomfield Road (Secondary).

Volunteering and Community Engagement
Treasury Wine Estates' commitment to local communities is evidenced by its membership to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). Treasury Wine Estates has been a signatory of the UNGC since 2011, and has embedded its commitment to the Compact's principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption in its business through various internal policies, and through its suppliers via the Responsible Procurement Code.
While we have embedded the UNGC throughout our supply chain, we also support our commitment to communities through specific Corporate Responsibility programs, including:
Each employee across the globe has access to one paid day per year to volunteer. We strive for our greatest volunteering impact through the execution of a Global Volunteer Week, during which we arrange for all employees who would like to participate in volunteering together, to do so in one week.
Boosting the fundraising efforts of Treasury Wine Estates' employees up to the value of $1,200.00 AUD.
Providing support to organisations and causes with an employee or regional community connection to Treasury Wine Estates.
Treasury Wine Estates' (TWE's) third annual Global Volunteering Week (GVW), which ran from 15 to 19 May 2017, was a huge success, with employees across all regions and functions lending a hand to charitable organisations in their communities. Teams enjoyed a range of activities, including sorting food parcels for families in need, restoring native vegetation, collecting litter from water systems, preparing food for various community kitchens and maintaining conservation areas. In total, more than 1,400 TWE employees participated globally and we partnered with 68 charities across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Americas and Europe.
The program encourages employees to contribute to charitable organisations close to their hearts and positively impact their local communities.
From time to time, our extensive portfolio of wine brands may also elect to support causes or organisations which have a specific relevance to our brands and consumers. These activities will be determined by the management teams for each of our foundation brands.

WINGHAM, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 4, 2014) - Staff, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), will rally at the Wingham and District Hospital (270 Carling Terrace, Wingham, Ontario) on Monday, April 7, at noon, to protest cuts to services and patient care.
Wingham hospital is facing a deficit of over $700,000 and eliminating that deficit will have a very significant impact on services and area residents accessing care locally.
Small rural hospitals like Wingham are hard hit by recent changes to provincial funding. Skyrocketing costs for drugs and medical equipment - which are the wholly privatized pockets of the health system - are affecting hospital budgets.
Ontario has the fewest acute care hospital beds-to-population of any province in Ontario or any country in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) has just released a major study of the impact on hospital patients following 20 years of cutbacks.

text: hi everyone my name is jennifer and I am currently going through a lot in life. 11 months ago a left the father of my children due to his unfaithfulness. He caused me so much pain since we first started dating at 17. I have two beautiful children with him a girl who's 8 and a boy who is 6. I have always suffered from OCD my whole life. Looking back I see how much time it took from my life but really never told no one. I was about 8 or 10 when I started washing my hands so much bc I would think that I would die from bacteria. It was so hard. My mom took me to therapy and I was able to overcome it. But then I started checking door the stove and staring at the window to make sure there was a window there. Sounds weird right? Well that was my life I remember being so tired. Oh so did I mentioned! That my mom have OCD also? Yea it was bad. growing up was so hard. My dad was diagnosed with ALS and that was even harder for me. At night I would look at his chest counting 4 times to make sure he was breathing. I was so tired. My head was always heavy. I know this story is all over the place but I'm just writing as I think. Well then things got better for me bc I stopped checking things for maybe about 10 yrs. life was finally ok. Now getting back to the beginning after a couple of times breaking up with the father of my kids. I was scared to be a single mom. I had the fear of failing as a mother to my beautiful children .so then I was watching a movie affected me so much. I started having intrusive thoughts in which I thought I would harm my kids. Oh my how hard was this for me. I began to distance myself from my kids I had sleepless nights and my headaches where terrible. They eventually went away but about 2 months ago I had the biggest breakdown ever. I started to have these intrusive thoughts and they were worse! I hated myself and my life. I wanted to commit suicide and I planned how I was going to. I wrote my letter. But then looking at my children I realized I could not do that. So I told my mom how I felt she took me to the hospital and I was hospitalized for 4 days. They gave me medicine (Zoloft) which has helped me so much! I can now do some of things that I used to. I am looking forward to getting better with therapy and self help books. All I have to say that reading everyone's story has helped me sooo much to see that I'm not the only one going through this. Which has given me hope for life. We can all over come this monster called OCD. Thank you all for reading.

369 Man and woman have been created, which is to say, willed by God: on the one hand, in perfect equality as human persons; on the other, in their respective beings as man and woman. "Being man" or "being woman" is a reality which is good and willed by God: man and woman possess an inalienable dignity which comes to them immediately from God their Creator.240
There's no particular reason that different forms of disagreement with Church's understanding of human nature should be mutually consistent, and yet I can't help but be struck by the irony: in an era when some people are arguing that homosexual acts should be approved because gay and lesbian people are "born that way," other people (or occasionally the same people, just depending on whether the tides are high or low) are arguing that biological maleness and femaleness are basically irrelevant to what sort of people we are. To the latter camp, suggesting otherwise is the great sin of essentialism. "Biology is not destiny" was one of the classic feminist slogans.
Think about it.
We are sometimes asked, on the basis of far-from-conclusive evidence of "gay genes," to revise longstanding Church teaching on the morality of homosexual behaviour. It's simply not true that sexual "orientation" cannot be changed, even if most people's sexual tendencies remain relatively stable over time. But the significance of the incontrovertibly genetic matter of biological sex? So often, progressive folk both outside and within the Church treat differences between men and women as boiling down to culture and socialization. The fond hope is sometimes expressed that if nice gender-neutral models of behaviour are presented to kids at a young enough age, then the little ones may grow up to escape the trap of rigid gender roles. Well, funnily enough, most boys and girls, even when they've had hardly any time to be socialized into masculinity or femininity, still manage to display remarkably sex-specific behaviour patterns. (I'm not a parent, but I've attended a couple of birthday parties for four-year-olds.)
"Each for the other" - "A unity in two"
371 God created man and woman together and willed each for the other. The Word of God gives us to understand this through various features of the sacred text. "It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper fit for him."242 None of the animals can be man's partner.243 The woman God "fashions" from the man's rib and brings to him elicits on the man's part a cry of wonder, an exclamation of love and communion: "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh."244 Man discovers woman as another "I", sharing the same humanity.
372 Man and woman were made "for each other" - not that God left them half-made and incomplete: he created them to be a communion of persons, in which each can be "helpmate" to the other, for they are equal as persons ("bone of my bones. . .") and complementary as masculine and feminine. In marriage God unites them in such a way that, by forming "one flesh",245 they can transmit human life: "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth."246 By transmitting human life to their descendants, man and woman as spouses and parents cooperate in a unique way in the Creator's work.247
Male and female God created us. The complementarity of the sexes is a gift. We'll discuss the main teachings on homosexuality some months from now (CCC 2357-2359), but for now it's important to point to how the moral law there in Part Three follows from the revelation of divine and human nature here in Part One. For many years I failed to understand this. The ol' Garden-of-Eden argument got nowhere with me. Adam and Eve might have been made to be complementary, for all I knew, but even if so, that story applied--I thought--to people with an essence different from mine. What Romans 1 says, though, even before Paul gets around to discussing homosexual perversion (1:26-27), is that the natural order is visible and knowable in light of natural reason (1:19-20). Man and woman were made for each other. This is not arbitrary; it's built into our flesh and bone.
More than could ever be the case for whatever mix of factors makes some people more prone than others to homosexual temptation: in the matter of maleness and femaleness, we are indeed born that way.
