Faith Evangelical Church, 3145 Sweetwater Drive
Service: 11 a.m., Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015
Length of service: 1 hour, 5 minutes. Length of sermon: 31 minutes
There were two surprises at Faith Evangelical this morning. For one, the band was playing bluegrass instruments. Pastor Brent Nymeyer said it was a special treat.
The other surprise was that Pastor Steve Strutz, who delivered the sermon, made only a couple of references to football, even though it was Super Bowl Sunday. I had been expecting an onslaught of football metaphors and tortured analogies linking sport and religion.
I was relieved on both counts, though the music did not consist of the old-time hymns I had heard at Emmanuel Baptist. The songs appeared to be standard-issue Protestant church songs or modern praise music played on bluegrass instruments—guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass, with the addition of drums and harmonica.
The band was quite good and the sound would have been perfect if I had been able to hear the harmonica at all. There was only one blood song this week, an old hymn that began "There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins."
Interrupted only by a few announcements from Nymeyer, the mostly agreeable music went on for the first 24 minutes, after which the lights came up and the collection plates started going around. The service was as spare as the décor. The big West End church, packed with several hundred worshipers, is barren of adornment except for a simple wooden cross at stage right.
What is this series about?
To read the essay that introduced this series click here.
After the collection plates had circulated, Strutz launched right into his sermon, which was likewise unadorned. He took as his text the opening of Daniel 3, wherein Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, Jews serving in positions of distinction under the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, refuse to bow down before an immense golden image.
After describing the 90-foot statue, Strutz said, "it's like a certain temple we have in our community. You could see it all the time, you know what I mean?" He said this with a dismissive laugh, obviously referring to the Mormon Temple on Rimrock Road. It almost made me feel better. All these congregations, in my experience, are quicker to condemn rival sects than to castigate mere unbelievers.
The language of the sermon was straightforward, as I said, maybe a tad lacking in passion. Strutz also found himself at a loss for words at one point, as he was describing the fit of rage Nebuchadnezzar threw after the three Judeans refused to pay homage to the giant statue. After trying to describe that fit for a few moments, Strutz, apparently not satisfied with his attempt, shrugged and said, "You've seen movies with that kind of thing going on."
Nebuchadnezzar eventually orders his burliest guards to bind the three reprobates and throw them in a furnace heated up seven times hotter than usual—a detail meant to convince us that this was no mere fable, I suppose. You will be relieved to learn, if you are unfamiliar with the Book of Daniel, that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego all emerged from the fiery furnace unscathed, demonstrating the power of their God.
Strutz went on to ascribe their steadfastness in the face of what seemed like certain death to the certainty of their convictions, their belief in their God. He also enumerated what he thought were the four things that gave them such certainty—their upbringing, the traditions they followed, their grasp of God's word and their consistent willingness to walk with God.
Along the way, Strutz quoted someone as saying that "the most portentous fact" we can know about another person is that person's view of God, that person's belief system.
I'm afraid I could not agree with him there. All too many times in the history of the world, people armed with unshakable certainty in their God have cheated, robbed and murdered other people. I don't care what someone believes. I'd rather know how he or she treats other people.
At the end of his sermon, after assuring everyone that "I don't want to put you on the spot," Strutz asked people, as they listened to a "commitment song," to stand up whenever they felt absolutely certain in their faith.
From what I could see, 70 to 80 percent of the congregation stood up almost immediately. Thereafter, other individuals stood as the spirit moved them. Across the aisle from me, a man whose wife (or partner anyway) had stood up quickly just sat there with his eyes squeezed shut, leaning his forehead on his clasped hands. He seemed to be struggling, and only after a few minutes did he finally, slowly, rise to a standing position.
I remained seated, not wishing to be a hypocrite, but I have to say I felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable, especially when some of those standing took little glances around them, wondering whose faith was weak, wavering or nonexistent.
I drew strength from a white-haired old gentleman off to my right, who sat contentedly throughout the song and whose calm face betrayed no inner struggle. I figured if he could do it, I could do it.
Strutz had announced earlier that there would be a tailgate "party before the party" in the parking lot after the service. When I reached the parking lot—feeling relieved, I admit, because I thought this would be my last visit to a megachurch as part of this series—Hank Williams Jr. was blaring impiously through the loudspeakers, singing his praises of what has been called America's true religion.

Making it Happen in Davos!
UNI Global Union General Secretary Philip Jennings challenges Davos to come together: "Another world is possible"
22 January 2018, Davos: Jennings' message to Davos Woman and Davos Man is that they must not be distracted by the presence of Trump but instead come together to find a cure for the wealth distribution disease.
Jennings said, "The issue is not wealth creation, but a wealth distribution in cardiac arrest. The arteries to jobs, wages, health and education are blocked. Since the 2008 financial crisis we have continued to binge on gross inequality and now the patient is on a life support-system. The disease of wealth distribution is at the heart of the fractured world. Davos must address this issue and not be diverted by the arrival of the Trump circus in town.
"Mr Trump, you are the deal-breaker not the deal-maker. Take a deep breath of Davos mountain air and change your mind. Change your mind on the Wall, the 800,000 Dreamers with their futures in your hands, Climate Change and every other issue where you are out of tune with the world. This is 2018 not 2008 or 1988. Your policies are out of step. Show Davos that the United States is still a responsible global partner and that the 'Land of the Free', is working for democracy and peace, not conflict and war."
Addressing the illusion that Trump had somehow delivered on the economy in his first year in office, Jennings said, "Mr Trump is the flag-bearer or 'Exhibit A' of our fractured world. He boasts about stock market highs, but this wealth goes to the Wall Street wolves and does not raise the quality of the life of U.S workers. This shareholder culture has spread like a virus across the world and is stifling wage growth, by boosting dividends and buybacks for the 1% at the expense of working people. Financialisation of the economy is causing a seismic crack which threatens the social stability of the world.
"A prime example is Trump's corporate giveaway shrouded as tax reform. In the ten days after the bill passed the Senate, companies announced $70.2 billion in stock buybacks, and there will be more to come. By starving the country's social safety net, this bill will undermine the U.S. economy, and take from the poor to give to the rich. This is the distribution disease in spades.
"Davos must not be diverted from the opportunity to provide a platform to find solutions to heal our fractured world. The collective message from the mountain top to Trump must be that 'America First' does not stand up, not even for the American people. Trump is in danger of aping the 'greed is good' mantra of Gordon Gekko in the 80s. Peace and democracy are being eclipsed by a model of globalisation based on corporate greed tearing up the social contract. We must change the rules of the game.
"The World Economic Forum's own Risks Report highlights how rising income and wealth disparity are ripping the fabric of society. The Report also underlines how the digital revolution threatens mass unemployment if it left in the hands of a small number of giant data companies. Companies such as Google, Facebook and Amazon are digital wolves dressed in sheep's clothing. They wield monopolistic-level control over their sectors and our data, and we've seen them prioritize profits and polarisation over people and planet. The same can be said for the coming wave of Artificial Intelligence. We must be wise—with humans in control not the 'digi-capitalists' —in how we use this technology. Big Tech's monopoly power is a threat to democracy and this is what Davos must concentrate on rather than the Trump distraction.
"Davos must focus its attention on all these issues and not the Diverter-in-Chief, Donald Trump. If the President wants to set an example of American leadership, he must roll up his sleeves and pump some life-blood into wealth distribution, through the vital signs of jobs, wages, health and education and show finally he is capable of international statesmanship."
Note to Editor:
Philip Jennings, UNI Global Union General Secretary, will participate at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos from 23 to 26 January 2018. Mr Jennings will speak at several sessions, including, « Can We Live with Monopolies » 15:00 – 15 :30, Tuesday 23 January in the Media Village, Issue Briefing Room

Q: What is an EAP?
A: An EAP is an Employee Assistance Program that is provided to you by your employer. It is a benefit that offers a certain number of sessions free to you with no co-pay. You may ask your Human Resources Department if this benefit is available to you. This benefit does not apply to sessions with an M.D., such as any of our Psychiatrists.
Q: What insurances do we accept?
A: We are participating providers with most insurance companies. However, each provider individually participates with different insurances. This makes it very important you know exactly which insurance carrier you have so we can schedule you with the right clinician.
Q: What is my co-pay?
A: You can find out this information by calling the number on the back of your insurance card to verify your mental health benefits. You may find your co-pay on the front of your insurance card. We often fall under a specialist co-pay.

So, I have been carving some spoons out of maple for some christmas gifts and I started finding some really incredible figure in the maple I was using. So I decided to try out a trick that guitar makers use to pop the grain—the two stage dye job!
The idea is to dye the wood with a dark base color, sand it back so that the dark color only stays in the figured grain, then dye again with the lighter color. Add a glossy top coat and you have the deepest looking figure around.
So since I was making spoons I wanted to try it just for fun with dyes made from food safe product… well, actually they are food products.
I wanted a deep amber/yellow look to the spoons so I looked in the cupboards for something dark brown to use as the base, and something brighter yellow to finish with. I found some fake coffee stuff called Caffix, and some yellow food coloring. (I probably would have used another food coloring for the base, but I couldn't find any so I went with the caffix).
I first wet the entire piece with a rag so that the "dye" would go on evenly. Then, I used a rag to wipe on a really concentrated mix of this caffix stuff (probably three tablespoons of crystals to 1/8 cup of hot water).
It actually gave a nice antique maple look on it's own
After setting this aside to dry, I sanded it back with 120 grit to do most of the work, then 220 and 320 as I got closer to removing all of the dye from the spoon except for in the figure.
Then I re-wet the piece, and lightly sanded with 320 to knock down the fibers, allowed to dry, then wet the piece again. Next I repeated the dye process with the yellow food coloring (mixed with hot water). After dying with the food coloring the piece looked surprisingly good even without a top coat (these dye jobs can look deceptively bad until they have a top coat, but this one looked cool)
here is a pic of the test piece right after the yellow dye was added
Here is a pic of one of the spoons after a coat of mineral oil (Not really a top coat, but added enough sheen to look really good even after the oil had been wiped off)
In person it created that really deep 3D effect you see on nice guitars. You won't see that in the pics, but compare with an undyed spoon I made with the same design.
It turned out really cool, but I am sure it will wear out quickly with use and washing. But since this was just for fun I wasn't worried about trying to preserve the finish on a piece that will be abused.
I am going to be trying other dyes on projects as the chance arises, just for fun… not making any statements or anything, I'm just a curious guy. One thing to keep in mind though is that some of these products can create a film (the caffix did) that you will need to look out for.
Anyway, I hope you got a kick out of this.

By pledging to abolish stamp duty for first time buyers, Labour strategists have parked their tanks on the Conservative home-owning democracy lawn. In that simple move they've flipped the ordinary narrative of British politics being about the high spending reds against the tax cutting blues on its head.
The £225,000,000 giveaway leaves the Labour party offering a tax cut to first time buyers, while the Conservative party attempts to buy off the same demographic with government-subsidised mortgages under the successful help to buy scheme. Borrowing heavily from the Conservative's own rhetoric, Miliband said in a campaign speech this morning: "There is nothing more British than the dream of home ownership, starting out in a place of your own".
He continued: "But for so many young people today that dream is fading with more people than ever renting when they want to buy, new properties being snapped up before local people get a look-in, young families wondering if this country will ever work for them.
"That is the condition of Britain today, a modern housing crisis which only a Labour government will tackle".
Although the tax cut for first time home buyers would only apply to homes costing less than £300,000, excluding most homes in almost all London boroughs, other housing policies announced by Labour today were less likely to be celebrated for cutting tax and red tape. As a preview of Miliband's speech was trailed in this morning's Guardian, the share prices of major British home builders took a hit on the realisation his other policies would have a significant negative impact on the value of homes.
Although the relatively minor stamp duty 'holiday' was the "centrepiece" of today's announcement, perhaps more damaging in the long run is Labour's mooted rent controls, preventing landlords from increasing rent by more than inflation, regardless of other factors. The Daily Telegraph reported the announcement, and fear of a coming Labour government wiped £200 million off the share values of major UK home builders.

I believe that markets are largely efficient so rather than try to beat the markets, we'll let your money work for you through the power of the markets. We'll build well-diversified portfolios with mainly low-cost institutional mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs). But before we invest one penny, we'll review your goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, tax considerations, income needs, and any unique needs that you might have.
Investment management services start at 0.95% per year for the first $250,000 with breakpoints thereafter. Retainer services clients who also engage the firm for its investment supervisory services will be assessed an annualized asset‐based fee that is capped at 0.50% (50 basis points).
If you're ready to start planning for a brighter financial future, and want to see if we're a good fit, schedule your complementary 30-minute strategy session today!
Your strategy session includes:
- A quick assessment of your current financial situation and goals.
- A discussion of your most pressing financial question.
- Discuss options available and an action step you can take immediately to improve your current situation.
If we both decide it's a good fit, I'll send you a questionnaire so you can tell me more about your biggest questions and your current financial situation. Our first meeting will be spent reviewing that information together so we can set clear goals and priorities.

|Call for testing: couchjs branch
|Mon, 03 Mar 2008 10:20:27 GMT
Hey all, we've been working on a branch that would remove the SpiderMonkey sources from the CouchDB repository, so that we could instead treat SpiderMonkey as a normal external library dependency. See <http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine/browse_thread/thread/e3dd995b4a6fbed9/1c9b1653cfe91c2b > for some background. So what we've done on the "couchjs" branch is to add a simple C wrapper around the SpiderMonkey lib (src/CouchDB/couch_js.c) that implements only those parts of the JS shell that we actually need for the view server, with the minor modifications we need. And of course the build system was adjusted so that SpiderMonkey is detected as an external dependency. The branch has now come so far along that it "worksforme", so I'd like to ask anyone who's interested to check out the branch, do the build and run some tests, and report back problems (or, hopefully at least in some cases, the absence of problems ;). Thanks, -- Christopher Lenz cmlenz at gmx.de http://www.cmlenz.net/

Pouch power! Natural brands are making good food with quality ingredients (and, in many cases, powerful nutrition) more accessible than ever before. Check out some of the latest grab-and-go products that have crossed the desk of Jenna Blumenfeld, DL's Senior Food Editor.
The nosh: A savory-sweet pouch made with an interesting blend of USDA Organic ingredients, including vegetable broth, spinach, sweet potato, carrot, pear, lemon, chia, lentils and banana. Best served chilled, this hand-held pouch is 90 calories per 4-ounce serving.
What's cool: It's a little hard to wrap my head around this product, as I typically don't eat such a wide variety of foods at once. I appreciate Belicious' moxie to create such a healthy on-the-go solution that isn't all sugar. But for consumers who are used to totally smooth, sweet pouches, it might be a hard sell.
I expect consumers interested in getting handy nutrition, like backpackers or cyclists, would be down, though.
The nosh: A high-protein, high-fiber snack that contains dried chickpeas spiced with a ranch-like blend that includes tomato powder, garlic powder, onion powder, yeast extract, mustard and more. A quarter cup delivers an impressive 6 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein.
What's cool: I love seeing this small brand grow because its manufacturing process makes a crispy, addictive snack (rather than chewy or dry, like other chickpea snacks I've sampled). This new SKU has pronounced flavor and addictive snackability.
The nosh: Love quinoa but don't have access to a kitchen to cook it? Carrington Farms satisfies consumer's zeal for all things snackable with this toasted quinoa, designed to be sprinkled over salads, soups or yogurt for a nice crunch, or eaten straight from the bag.
What's cool: A quick, tasty way to incorporate quinoa, a high-protein, high-fiber food, into meals.
The nosh: Light, airy slices of onion chips dusted with a touch of salt and pepper, BBQ seasonings or chipotle-garlic spices, this new snack from Dang is made with big, thick slices of onion that are quickly fried in such a way that preserves nutrients, and leaves them lower in fat than Funyuns (which, by the way, don't even contain onion… it's onion flavoring).
What's cool: A big pat on the back to Dang Foods for innovation in the whole-food snack space. After essentially launching the coconut-chip category (and seeing other brands hop onboard with nearly identical products), it's great to see the brand branch out into another underutilized but healthy ingredient.
The nosh: Half dollar-sized treats made with a lovely blend of organic coconut, organic raw agave, almond flour, organic raspberry, organic extra-virgin coconut oil, organic vanilla and Himalayan crystal salt. Each macaroon is 120 calories, and 9 grams of (healthy!) fat.
What's cool: Each cookie is a burst of brightness—without added "natural flavoring." Instead, Emmy's celebrates the inherent goodness of raspberry by accentuating it with high-quality vegan and gluten-free ingredients. I love how the brand prioritizes using organic ingredients, even though it can't claim a 100 percent organic certification—almond flour is the only non-organic ingredient, presumably due to price.
The nosh: A take-along drink mix made with a low-cal, low-sugar blend of erythritol, stevia, guarana extract, natural flavor and vitamins like B6 and B12. Packaged in a pouchlike box that can stand up straight.
What's cool: Everly's mission is to get consumers to drink more water by making it more interesting. For every box of Everly purchased, the brand donates a packet of life-saving hydration medicine to treat a child sick with waterborne disease.
The nosh: Crunchy gluten-free squares crafted with mostly organic ingredients including quinoa, brown rice syrup, brown rice crisps, almonds, sunflower seeds, pepitas, cane sugar, sunflower butter and more—all drizzled with organic dark chocolate.
What's cool: We like how quinoa is the first ingredient in these better-for-you snacks, which deliver a decent amount of good fats and a bit of fiber. A sweet fix for afternoon sugar cravings.
The nosh: A simple, one-ingredient bag filled with roasted yaupon tea—the only caffeinated plant native to North America.
What's cool: We've seen brands that feature yaupon tea before, such as Cat Spring and Asi, which is a ready-to-drink product. In our opinion, the more brands that use this wild-harvested product, which grows wild in the southern and southeastern United States, the better. Lost Pines says the tea is harvested from the Lost Pines Forest located in Bastrop, Texas, where thinning the plant aids with wildfire restoration, which builds habitat for endangered toads (hence the brand's logo).
The nosh: A beautiful coffee substitute that features roasted organic maca, the Peruvian root believed to have hormone-balancing properties, and cacao powder, cinnamon, mesquite powder and nutmeg.
What's cool: Macaccino is unique because the brand uses a ton of maca—it's the first ingredient. Macaccino's parent brand, Sol Natural Foods, is dedicated to sourcing maca sustainably and with respect for the farmers, too.
The nosh: A new hemp protein powder to whirl into your smoothie. This vegan vanilla chai flavored product contains Manitoba Harvest's signature Hemp Pro 70 protein concentrate, organic coconut sugar and a nutrient-dense blend of organic dark, leafy greens, including spinach, kale and broccoli.
What's cool: We love how Manitoba Harvest makes it easier for consumers to eat foods that contain hemp—a fast-growing, sustainable crop from Canada. Bonus: The Banana Spice Smoothie recipe on the back of the package—made with hemp protein, frozen banana, nondairy milk and maple syrup—sounds heavenly.
The nosh: These crunchy, crispy fruit and vegetable snacks from a Costa Rican company are notable because each ingredient contains just two ingredients: the thinly sliced product and raw cane sugar. Each 1-ounce pouch is one serving, and under 100 calories.
What's cool: We dig Natural Sin's new package design, which better communicates the potato chip-like texture of the food inside.

From Ft. Worth, Texas, USA:
I've had type 1 for a little over five years. The highest my A1c has ever been is 6.9. My last one was 6.1. I am constantly thirsty, just like before I was diagnosed. Is this common for other diabetics? I usually consume about 15 to 20 bottles of water a day.
The reason that increased thirst is tied to the symptoms of diabetes and increased blood sugars is that the body usually loses a lot of fluid due to increased urination. The increased thirst is a compensatory mechanism by the body to restore effective circulating fluid volumes. If sugars are not high enough to cause a marked diuresis, it is unlikely the increased thirst is caused by the diabetes. Increased physical activity with sweating, habitual increase in fluid intake, and dry mouth from some medications may some reasons why you may drink more but are not related to diabetes. Make sure you discuss this with your physician.

I like my eyes. When I was way overweight, they were the only part of my appearance that I'd focus on as a positive. Shallowly, like: the rest of me may be gross, but oh, those EYES. I fell out of love with them for a while after my near-death experience broke one of them, made it perpetually lazy, but they're nearly all fixed, now, and I'm learning to, if not love, then appreciate even the lazy eye. It has Character.
I like my body. At 28, after so many years of railing against it, I gave up, and simply covered it in tattoos. I now work out at the gym for improvement, to be stronger etc., but I don't need to. In the early days I would sacrifice seeing my friends for a quick cardio sesh, but no more. Weight fluctuates here and there, and we all still look the same. I'm not a model, but I like my face, and the rest of my body, and if I had the chance to trade it in, I don't think I would, anymore. (Or else, if I did, it'd have to be for a really fucking good trade.)
I like my butt – but more in pants than out of them. But to be fair to myself, I've never seen it from afar, only in my bedroom mirror or over my shoulder, vague and reflected and nebulous. Even then it still has a certain perk I appreciate.
I like smoking. I know you're not supposed to any more, what with all the evidence out there detailing just how much it'll kill you – and I'm not a smoker, not any more – but there are few things in life that can beat a cig and a coffee on a crisp Winter's morning. I don't like the smell, though.
I like drinking. Drinking is one of the aforementioned few things in life that beat a cigarette and a coffee. I don't do it any more, but my brain is hardwired to release insane amounts of dopamine whenever I drink, and – regardless of the fucked-up decisions and hangovers, regardless of the time I slurred into someone's ear that I loved them when I didn't or that time I stole Hugo Weaving's chips in the STC foyer – yeah, I really like it.
I like marijuana. The taste, not so much, but I like the effect. People have said to me: "how can you not drink but still smoke weeeeeeed?" like they've cracked the code, brutally injured my sobriety façade with their shocking insight and poised line of questioning. My answer is: firstly, I can happily put down and pick up a joint whenever I want. I've smoked twice this year, after two years completely sober: enjoyed myself, and happily had enough. With alcohol, when I did drink, even in the depths of the most hideous earth-shattering hangover I'd always think: hey, y'know what could fix this? MORE BOOZE.
Secondly, as someone with generalised anxiety disorder, being off my face high is one of the few times I don't even slightly feel like the world is going to kill me. Year's not over yet, but I can already tell my favourite memory of 2016 will be this: me sitting with friends in a cabin in Hall's Gap, eyes shut and wheezing carefree from uncontrollable laughter.
I like my queerness. This one took a while, but I do. I've gone through many stages of life and understanding what it means to be, basically, a non-straight person, but I've finally reached the 'liking' stage of it: of being anyone outside of the straight white dominant paradigm. This came, I think, with my liking of myself: on one hand, my voice has a touch of fey, I work in the arts, I hate children but love RuPaul's Drag Race, and have a tendency towards the melodramatic. On the other hand, I'm covered in tattoos, have a strong jaw-line (which is another thing I like) and will fight you if you fuck me over. I used to think, as a child, that I'd give anything to be straight – trade it all in. But now, I wouldn't. It's part of who I am, and part of what's made me who I am. To quote a brilliant artist I know: STRAIGHT THINGS ARE BORING THINGS.
I like sex. I kind of think you'd be mad not to: it's fun, and it's supposed to be. Sometimes in the middle of sex I get that weird "outside myself" feeling and envisage what I look like from above – sweaty and ungainly and interlocked; making noises I've never heard before – and that sometimes takes me out of it, but I'm getting better. Mainly, now, I just laugh.
I like flamingos. I think about flamingos and I smile. I can't explain why. Sometimes I wonder, "is this how straight people feel about babies?" They're pink and they're awkward and they're kind of gay, and I just like them. Maybe I'm fulfilling some grand indie faggot cliché, but so what?
I like honesty. I find it so much easier to be honest in writing, though, which poses a problem – not that I feel like I need to lie in speaking, more that the act of speaking words makes it harder. Online or in theatre, crazily rehearsed and with lights and costumes and design and shit, I'll happily tear myself apart. Confession sessions dot com dot au, forward slash me. I'd rather do it before anyone else does. In person, I'll probably stammer and my brain will freeze and I won't know what to say so I'll trail off and sit in awkward silence, or maybe crack a really inappropriate joke for good measure.
I don't like that I swing between terribly egocentric and painfully self-depreciating. Like, pick one, brain. (Or actually? Pick neither. Mediums are happy, and so in right now.)
I don't like the politicisation of sexuality (lol 'straya m8).
I don't like injustice – like, I don't like that systematic racism and sexism and fucking murder seem to rule our world, and I really don't like that I benefit from it.
I don't like how obsessed I can get with insignificant things, and I don't like the fact of how insignificant my problems really are in the grand scheme of things. Not that I wish I had 'real' problems or wish that people thought that the problems I face were significant, more that I really don't like how concerned I am with pointless shit when there's a whole bunch of real problems going on.
I don't like my privilege. Or, I guess I enjoy it, but I don't like that it comes at the cost of so many other people. Sometimes it seems like a rabbit hole: dark and deep and endless. What can I do? Give up all my possessions? Apologise to everyone I meet? When do you stop donating to charities? What's too much, and what isn't enough? I'm a minority myself – homosexual and disabled – so can I start to claim on it?
I don't like this country – its government, and its myriad and continuous cruelties.
I don't like that I can't let things go, but I'm trying.
I don't like myself, but I'm trying.
I don't like this essay, but I'm trying.

GOLD | Best Agency Self-Promotion of 2017
Intouch Solutions
#ALLin Program
For its aptly named #ALLin program, Intouch Solutions outfitted an Airstream trailer to serve as a mobile video studio and then traveled 3,800 miles across the U.S. to interview a variety of patients and caregivers about their challenges.
As of awards submission time, Intouch had attended over 45 events and raised awareness for 40 unique causes; collected more than 30 video interviews, and hosted #ALLin accelerators to solve problems identified.
As the trip unfolded, the importance of caregivers' roles and their need for support became clear. So Intouch partnered with Digital Health Coalition to research the impact of caregiving and the role of tech. Intouch then presented the findings at Digital Pharma East. The research also led the firm to create and fund a HelpMeCare app for caregivers. Judges were blown away, praising the idea and Intouch Solutions' commitment.
"This was a big idea and a big commitment that appeals internally and externally and creates distinctive and leverageable point of view for the agency," one judge explained. "Well done."
An Intouch representative said the campaign idea was sparked by the agency's purpose statement: Hacking Healthcare for the People.
The #ALLin journey was shared across multiple integrated channels. TeamALLin.com houses photos, stories from each stop, patient, and caregiver video interviews and more.
Content and updates were also shared via Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, email, and Intouch Solutions' main website and blog.

Meteora, a city perched atop the sandstone cliffs of Thessaly, is perhaps one of the most stunning places I will ever lay eyes on. The captivating landscapes are thought to be sculpted by the very hand of God, with the help of wind and water over 60 million years. The ancient rock formations, topped with a collection of Greek Orthodox Monasteries reach for the heavens above.In the 9th century, a slew of monks came together in the region but continued living in solitude, only congregating on Sundays for worship. For many centuries, they lived in tiny hermitages built into caves. At the time, there were no roads, pathways, or even steps, so they would descend from their cells via nets or rope ladders. Construction of the monasteries began in the 11th century when the brave monks hauled up everything from people to building supplies using baskets and pulley systems. When you look at how sheer these rock faces are, you'll realize what an amazing feat this was. Steps didn't come around until the 1920's!The magic of Meteora is nothing short of jaw-dropping. The pictures simply don't do the beauty justice, but I will try my best to spark your wanderlust!Meteora means "suspended in the air" or "in the heavens above"– exactly like the monastaries look to be floating in the sky.
Only six of the 24 original monasteries remain, with just four operating. You are able to visit the active communities.
Active Monasteries of Meteora
Great Meteoron Monastery /Μεγάλο Μετέωρο/ If you are short on time, as the oldest and largest, the Holy Monastery of Great Meteoro should be first on your list. Inside you find the church of Transfiguration of Jesus, wine cellars, an ancient kitchen and the sacristy where the bones of old residents of the monastery are stacked on selves. The main cathedral in the central courtyard is embellished with beautiful 16th century frescoes. In 2015 there were only 3 monks in residence.
Varlaam Monastery /Μονή Βαρλαάμ/ The second largest of the monasteries, and most populous with seven monks. Inside you find a church dedicated to All Saints and old refectory used as a museum. An impressive oak water barrel that once held 12 tons of rainwater and the tower of the old preserved net, used by the first monks for their ascent and descent from the rock, until it was "God's will to have it replaced"!
Holy Trinity Monastery / Μονή Αγίας Τριάδος/ Made famous from the James Bond film "For your eyes only" Arguably the most difficult monastery to access, but worth the trek. There were four monks in residence in 2015.
Roussanou Monastery / Μονή "Ρουσάνου"/ Today, a flourishing nunnery with 13 nuns in residence in 2015.
St. Nikolaos Anapafsas Monastery /"του Αγίου Νικολάου Αναπαυσά"/ Because there was limited rock surface to work with in the 14th century, this monastery was built vertically with a series of floors each stacked on top of the other. Today only one monk occupies the monastery.
St. Stephen's Monastery /Αγίου Στεφάνου/ Founded in 1400 AD, this monasary rests on a plain rather than on a cliff and is the only monastery visible from Kalampaka. During WWII, its was bombed by the Nazis believing that rebels were hiding there. Today, it is inhabited by 28 nuns and easily accessible via bridge.
The monks follow strict regulations and gather at the church 4 times a day, Orthodox liturgy lasts about 6 hours a day. Visitor tip: To respect the holiness, knees and shoulders must be covered. Did you know? The Eyrie of Vale of the House of Arryn from Game of Thrones is based on Meteora. with the original bread oven and soup hearth. Visitor tip: The entrance fee for all monasteries is 3 Euro per person. Visitor tip: If you have extra time, be sure to visit the neighboring towns of Kalampaka, which means 'prestigious castle' and Kastraki, or 'small castle' Getting here: There are a number of one day to multiple day excursions available from Athens and other major cities in Greece that include the monasteries of Meteora. If you feel you to explore on your own time instead, you can take a public bus, train, or rent a car.
Serene, spiritual, surreal. Call this Greek holy site what you will, it is nothing short of magical. Get out there and see for yourself!

It's not every day that you see senior citizens so excited and giddy about getting married. It's a bit out of the ordinary. That's why even on the day that I met this duo in the park to capture images for their engagement announcement, bystanders were drawn to them. There were teenage girls, families and young couples who stopped what they were doing to take in this rare glimpse of an older couple whose love was so new that they couldn't take their eyes off of each other. Their love was magnetic.
Sure, people of all ages get proposals all the time and we see engagement photos on the regular, but social media is captivated by this image. Why? Because it gives so many hope that they should never give up on their dream of finding love. It shows us that new love is not just for the the young, but for the seasoned. It reveals that its never too late to believe that you will smile again, dance again, love again. This couple's love story has been shared by thousands and inspired millions, with a single image and a 7-word-headline: "It's NEVER too late to find love!"
Murphy and Lucinda's Love
One muggy Alabama evening, I met with a young-at-heart couple sitting on a bench in Big Spring Park. Even though there was a growing crowd and the band 'Jed Eye' was crooning in the background, I could hear this couple's laughter above it all. With my camera gear strapped to my back and the Huntsville humidity blanketing the late afternoon air, I walked through the park thankful that the torrents of rain from earlier in the day had finally stopped. This was the night for Concerts in the Park; there were hundreds of people there for the live performance. As a photographer, I strive to capture authenticity and genuine expression but I wasn't sure if this brand-new twosome would be comfortable sharing their "feels" with an audience of people surrounding them.
As I approached, I noticed his arm around her shoulders, and she was gazing up at him, smiling as big as the sun. They seemed a bit nervous, but I told them the goal was to capture them doing what they normally do. Relieved, they stood up and waited for me to give them direction on where to stand. As I turned my head to grab my camera and adjust my settings, I heard giggling behind me. I turned back around to see this 70-year-old man inching closer and closer to his 60-something bride-to-be's side and sliding his hand around her waist, flirting and whispering in her ear. Her giggles let me know that I would not have to prod them to show affection, but on the contrary, I would spend the entire session trying to catch up to what they were doing next. The pair couldn't keep their hands off of each other. They later shared that it was this gesture, his hand around her waist, several months earlier that was one of the first signs of a beautiful spark between them.
Cleveland Wilson, affectionately known as "Murphy," is no stranger to true love. In fact, it was at a nearby Huntsville, AL park, (Braham Springs), some 47 years earlier that he spotted a beautiful woman, Antoinette Snodgrass, whom he had met only once before, riding on a train around the lake. He called out her name, she came over and they spent the whole afternoon and evening talking and laughing. He knew from that moment that she would be his wife and five months later, they were married.
Murphy and his best friend Antoinette were happily married for 41 years until her death in 2013. Anyone who knew or interacted with them and witnessed their uncanny ability to work musically in sync as co-directors of the renowned First Seventh-day Adventist Church Inspirational Choir, she as the pianist and he, the director, knew that they were deeply in love. When she passed away four years ago, he wondered if the ache in his heart would ever heal. He knew he was not cut out to live the bachelor life, but he didn't want to go through the process of dating again.
"After Antoinette died, I had all kinds of things going on; I was teaching high school classes, directing choirs for various churches, and hanging out with my 4 grandchildren," he explained, "but there was still an empty space and it couldn't be filled with more work. My life balance just wasn't there."
Murphy did know one thing...If he were ever to fall in love again, God would have to do the choosing. "God picked her the first time I married, He's going to have to do it again," was his constant refrain, when people asked would he ever remarry.
After losing Antoinette, it was difficult to attend church, where they had so faithfully served together for all of their 41 years together, so Murphy skipped church for several months. When he returned he didn't want to sit on the main floor of the sanctuary at First Seventh-day Adventist Church, his home church for 47 years, so he sat in the balcony, where unbeknownst to him, his answer to prayer was sitting too.
Lucinda Myers, a florist and baker, moved to Huntsville, AL in July 2013, the same month that Murphy returned to church. Myers is originally from Boston, which coincidentally is also Murphy's hometown. Having been divorced and single for 30 years, she had been praying and waiting for God to send her a husband. And although the wait was difficult, and she had moments of saying out loud, "God, where is he?"...she kept on praying and doing the things that made her happy, such as cake decorating, babysitting and helping others. She moved to Huntsville for a fresh start.
Each Saturday, Lucinda sat in the balcony on the front row at church while Murphy was one row behind. For over 3 years, they both occupied the same space in church but didn't have any interaction with each other. Murphy had made it up in his mind that he was not going to talk to anyone because he really wanted God to do the choosing.
But one day, something caught his eye... "It was her hair," he said. "And then she turned around, and Man...she's got this smile. She was very attractive...I just couldn't stop looking at her."
Still not saying a word to her from week to week, Murphy became more and more intrigued by this woman... so much so that a nearby church member caught Murphy staring at Lucinda one day. After church, the woman approached Lucinda and told her that she had a secret admirer in the balcony. Lucinda was shocked because she'd had no interaction with him, so she emphatically said, "Well if he is admiring me, he has to come to me. I'm certainly not chasing any man."
And even though she dared not approach Murphy, she was noticing him noticing her. When he wasn't looking, she began admiring her admirer. And every Saturday, she made sure she was dressed to kill any desire for him to look another direction.
"I would make sure I was looking real cute," said Lucinda, with a laugh. "I positioned myself to be where he was so that I made sure that he saw me."
And it was working. One day, during the welcome-your-neighbor song at church, he got the courage to approach her and said, "You look really nice today!" She was so shocked that he had finally spoken to her, that all she could mutter was, "What did you say?" After he repeated himself, she thanked him, and made an even greater effort to make sure she was "on point" the next week, but her admirer was not there the next Saturday. In fact, he was gone for the next three weeks and she missed seeing him, so she had to find a way to let him know he was missed.
When Murphy returned to church the following month, she walked over to him during the welcome and said, "Where have you been with that pretty smile?" and followed it up with a hug.
But "It was not the typical "welcome your neighbor hug," said Murphy, smiling. "The next thing you know my hand was around her waist. I asked myself, 'what did I just do?' But I knew then that this lady liked me."
On Easter weekend 2017, Lucinda was invited to Murphy's home by a mutual friend and the two of them ended up talking all day and into the night. The mental, emotional and spiritual connection was undeniably strong and there was physical attraction too. "I thought he was cute," said Lucinda. "He was tall, handsome and had a calm demeanor." The more time they spent together, the more they were convicted that God that had led them together.
"I know this is from the Lord, because I prayed for him," said Lucinda. "I had been asking God to send me someone and Murphy is everything I've ever wanted in a man."
The couple says that they don't need tv or people to entertain them. "We entertain each other," said Lucinda. "We laugh and talk for hours...We sit down and start talking then look up and realize its been four or five hours and it's just the two of us. We just enjoy each other."
Now that Lucinda's 30-year-wait for a husband is coming to a close as they prepare for their July 29, 2017 nuptuals, she is anticipating their new life together. Although she was married before, she was only 18 when they got hitched so she has never had a wedding. She perks up and smiles anytime anyone asks if she is excited. "I am!" she says, "I can't wait! I just need him to behave up there," she said with a laugh, pointing to her husband-to-be. Murphy's daughters, Gina Wilson and Danita Jones are the wedding planners, so all the couple has to do is show up.
When asked what advice Lucinda has for a person who is waiting to find true love, she said, "Hold on, and keep the faith. Our time is not God's time...He has His time," she continued.
"Make sure that you continue to do things that make you happy. I didn't need a human being to make me happy...If God hadn't sent Murphy, I'd still be happy doing what I loved to do, but now that he's in my life, he is the icing on the cake!"
Going Viral
As the news of the Murphy and Lucinda's engagement was recently shared through pictures on social media, one image of him holding up a sign that read, "She said YES!!!!" resonated with so many people that the image immediately went viral on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with millions of views, likes, shares and comments, several from celebrities. Men and women from all over the world commented that the image gave them hope that love is still possible, reminded them to still believe in love or that it made them smile. It represented the fact that love is not just something attained in youth, but love can find you even in your 60's, 70's and beyond. Anything is possible!
Since the photos were initially shared, their images and love story has appeared on news websites including ABC News, Good Morning America, CNN, and news websites from all over the world.
When told that their picture went viral, the pair responded, "Viral...what does that mean?" Although they are not very active on social media, they are genuinely humbled that others are encouraged by their love story and they want to continue to share it because they truly believe it was God who chose them for each other.
"We've had two very different journeys that led us to this intersection in our lives," said Murphy. "Many people have asked me how I could love again after loving my first wife so deeply. But I can never love someone the way I loved Antoinette, but I can love someone as much as I loved Antoinette and that person that I've chosen to love is Lucinda. I love her for who she is, just like I loved Antoinette for who she was. There will never be a replacement for those chapters in my life, and the 41 years I had with Antoinette...This new love is a continuation of the same book, just a different chapter, which takes nothing away from the earlier chapters of my life. They are completely separate in my mind."
Murphy and "Cindy," as he affectionally calls her, are still in awe that they have found true love in each other. It still amazes them how much they have in common and how well they get along.
"We were both searching and what I was looking for and what she was looking for...we found it! Lucinda has given me my balance back and that's what was missing."

From the Firearms Coalition
The "No Guns" Insult
By Jeff Knox
(Manassas, VA, October 29, 2009) How does it make you feel when you start to walk into a business and see a "No Guns" sign prominently posted?Are you angry?Offended?Indifferent?How do you react?Do you just turn around and take your business elsewhere?Complain to the management?Just ignore it and go on with your business?The members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League take "No Guns" signs as personally offensive and they let their offense be known - to the business, to fellow VCDL members, and anyone else who'll listen - or read a web page.VCDL maintains a list of anti-rights Virginia businesses on their web site, www.VCDL.org, and encourages gun owners and rights supporters to avoid these businesses except to let them know that their policy is offensive.VCDL has actively pursued this position for several years while they have simultaneously grown to become the most politically active and effective rights organization in the state.
So when the 7th District Republican Committee decided to hold a major fundraising rally in a location which is prominently posted "No Guns," VCDL let the Republicans know they weren't happy.When the Republicans held the annual event in the same anti-rights location every year for the next several years, disregarding VCDL's repeated objections, many at VCDL began taking the Republicans' choice as an insult.When the Republicans refused to change venues - even though VCDL offered to help sponsor the event at a different location - VCDL got mad.
On October 17th about 250 VCDL protesters gathered in a shopping mall near the Innsbrook Pavilion, the private, anti-rights event center where the annual Republican Roundup was being staged.The well organized protest included a moon-bounce and other distractions set up for the kids, an airplane towing a "Guns Save Lives" banner, and even a hot air balloon proclaiming the same message.Local shops, restaurants, and hotels welcomed the protesters - who were mostly openly carrying sidearms - and even offered special discounts. A good and safe time was had by all.
The Chairman of the 7th District Republican Committee has previously told people who complained to him about his choice to use the anti-rights facilities that while he and the Republican Party strongly support the Second Amendment, price and convenience trumps principles.And he's sticking to his No Guns.Even as there were almost as many people outside protesting as there were inside rallying, the chairman announced that the event would again be held in the same location next year.The level of base callousness and simple stupidity is just staggering.
This up-scuttle echoes a larger issue of misunderstanding between the activist, rights community and the general public - sadly often including many gun owners.When a business posts a "No Guns" policy they are making a political statement whether that is their intent or not.They are also denigrating and insulting lawful gun owners - particularly those who choose to carry.A "No Guns" sign serves no useful purpose beyond these insults and political posturing because the only people to whom such signs apply are the most conscientious and responsible gun owners.Criminals and the irresponsible simply ignore the signs and do exactly what they would have done without the signs, except with perhaps a greater sense of security knowing that conscientious, law-abiding gun owners have disarmed or gone somewhere else.
Gun owners and rights supporters who are not angered and offended by these "We Don't Want Your Kind" signs posted on businesses they frequent are being as thoughtless and insensitive as the businesses themselves.These "No Guns" signs should elicit the same reaction from gun owners and our friends that "Whites Only" signs did among blacks and civil rights supporters in the 1960's.They are a personal insult and an assault on our liberty and anyone who can't see that is simply choosing not to.That appears to be the case with the leadership of Virginia's 7th District Republicans.One must wonder whether they would continue using the same facilities if the sign on the door read "No Jews" rather than "No Guns."

It had two Bronco's for the first time and it showed their new 'Tiger' theme. Of course it was nice to meet up with some people I hadn't seen in a while. Can't post many photos now, but here's a preview. And hopefully it won't take me 3 months again to shoot some new stuff.

"The prevailing situation of the Philippine society is even worse when seen through the prophetic eyes of the church. There is major ongoing social unrest in our country today," says the Rev. Jerome Baris of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines.
Mission & Service partners the United Church of Christ in the Philippines and the National Council of Churches in the Philippines are actively involved in advocacy for human rights.
Human rights violations are widespread, with thousands of activists being intimidated, "disappeared," jailed without charges or trial, or killed. These people have stood for the rights of the Filipino people, including Indigenous people, who are often involved in land disputes with the government and corporations, particularly around mining.
The United Church of Christ in the Philippines and the National Council of Churches in the Philippines are calling for peaceful resolutions to conflicts and for assurances that the people most affected will be included in the discussions. They condemn violent responses to communities trying to determine their own futures.
We sing thanksgiving for Mission & Service partners walking with people in the Philippines in their struggle for human rights.
If Mission & Service is already a regular part of your giving, thank you so much! If you have not given for Mission & Service, please join me in making Mission & Service a regular part of your life of faith. In all our Mission & Service giving, with a willing heart, we sing thanksgiving to God!

It'd save me the annoyance of always switching my Wii from my HDTV to my small TV in my room to play SNES9x and other things. Anything not in progressive scan on my HDTV has a huuuge button lag, and SNES games and GBA games and everything are suuuper blurry on it whereas SNES roms in progressive scan (injecting roms into VC wads) are perfect on my HDTV.

The other day I was laying on bed trying to decide what to wear for the day. Normally in the spring my go-to are shorts and graphic tee. I realized that my limited t-shirt options were shrinking and I started reminiscing about a time when I had a Doc Gooden caricature t-shirt. Back in the late 1980's and early 1990's many kids were wearing t-shirts that had cartoons with oversized heads of their favorite sports heroes. I decided to see if there was any available on eBay when I discovered they were selling new ones with the old designs at http://www.sportscaricaturetshirts.com! Not only that but they had the exact same Doc Gooden shirt I had plus many others I remembered as a kid. They are reasonably priced at $18 per t-shirt with $4.95 shipping. However, there is more. Now you can get the styles printed on different style t-shirts as well as hoodies ($39.99). Pretty awesome!
Here's a few of the shirts I had a as a kid that are available!

The pace of life around the Petrie household has certainly picked up. Brayden, Keira and Isla are all at very different stages in their life and require different needs and activities to keep them happy. I feel like life is flying bye faster than ever and I'm always just trying to catch up.
Isla is nursing around the clock and I am up every three hours during the night to meet her needs. This morning, I lied next to her as she nursed so I could get a bit of rest. Instead of waking up as she usually does, she fell back to sleep. I slowllllyyyy got out of bed.
The stars had aligned... all three children were still sleeping. PERFECT!
It was time to sneak downstairs, watch a tv show and enjoy a cup of coffee for the first time in a looonngggg time.
Something held me back. Something said stop... enjoy this moment. This moment will pass before you know it.
I stared around my messy bedroom.
Instead of annoyance at the random assortment of kid socks and toys, books that needed to be read and half-empty water glasses, I saw the joy that they bring into my life.
The morning light--this time--didn't reveal all of the chores that needed to be done but a room that is filled with love. The place where my children still want a story to be read to them every night. The place where I sleep next to a man that loves all of us unconditionally.
I looked as that light hit Sasha as she took up her post guarding Isla. That dog drives me nuts sometimes but I had to appreciate her loyalty to my children. I swear that Sasha has never truly slept more than a moment because she is always on high alert protecting us.
And then, I looked at Isla. The light touched her sweet little face. Her tiny arms were curled up around her head and hands clenched into tiny fists. Her head, as always, turned towards where I sleep. I felt a pinch of sadness and I realized how much she has already grown and changed in such a short amount of time. I felt guilty for not soaking in her tininess more. That morning light reminded me to be grateful to have the ability to nurse her instead of focusing on my lack of sleep.
I looked over at the mirror. Instead of resenting my disheveled hair and dark circles, I laughed.
Normally, I spend a ton of time making each of my images perfect with posing and Photoshop magic.
Here is my life unscripted and raw.
I'm so glad something made stop and capture it.
