Last Friday afternoon, while rushing down the grocery aisles doing last-minute shopping before Shabbat, a man came towards me. "That's you, Rabbi," he said.
It was Edward, a retired Jewish man who I met over five years ago when he wanted to donate his used car. We then got to spend some time together and created a friendship.
Though I was in a real rush, I was very happy to see him." How have you been?" I asked. "We haven't heard from you in a while..."
"Oh," Edward said, "you probably won't meet me anywhere other than in grocery stores. I'm really not interested in religion…it's not my thing."
"That's fine. I'm happy to see you. How is the family?" I asked.
"They are all fine, thank you. And by the way, do you remember my son who I was so concern about?" he continued. "I was so happy when he told me that he put mezuzahs in his house. It was a real nachas! I couldn't believe it!"
"I guess I'm just like you," I told Edward. "I'm not interested in religion; it's a waste of time. But 'Yidishkeit,' that's something else... there is no nachas to a Jew without that."
I excused myself to run to the cashier.
"Gut Shabbos", he said.

Funding Opportunities
Paddock Tree Project in partnership with Cowra Woodland Bird Program
Paddock trees across our landscape are disappearing and not being replaced. They play an extremely important role in our environment and have a number of benefits for productivity as well as conservation including pest control, salinity management, stock and crop shelter, improved soil structure, tree hollows and an important food source for birds and animals.
The aim of this project is to further develop connectivity through the landscape to improve movement and habitat of woodland birds by planting local species of eucalypt trees. The trees must be planted within 50 m of each other and need to connect remnants i.e. roadside vegetation and an existing mature paddock tree. Mesh and star posts will be provided to successful applicants.
This project has been fully allocated.

The Catalans don't want to subsidize the bums of Spain. The bums of Spain falls mainly on the South.They (the Catalans) are tired of subsidizing the backward money-sinks of Spain's southern provinces ; they are hard-working and productive, and want to separate from the economically irreparable parts of Spain (the bums).
The Germans don't want to subsidize the bums of Europe. Again the bums are in the south.As I wrote on Sept. 30, the unifying theme in Germany's Sept. 24 election was voter repudiation of bailouts of Germany's neighbors.
Its the same problem in Socialism where the productive have to subsidize the bums.

Mitch McConnell waiting for steer from Trump before pushing healthcare bill
Democrats have criticized the package as a giveaway to the rich and corporations that would balloon the deficit. The party's lawmakers differ widely on what cuts to make and how to pay for them. "We are not getting the job done", Trump said when a reporter asked about comments his former White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon , made at the Value Voters Summit in Washington last weekend.

Emily and David held their wedding at Barton Grange just outside Preston in Lancashire. It was a fantastic day, filled with laugher and smiles from everyone who attended!
I spent the morning with Emily who got ready in Hest Bank at her Mum and Dad's gorgeous house with her bridesmaids. David anxiously waited for her arrival at Barton Grange, standing at the top of the aisle waiting for the music to start, he looked nervous!
After the ceremony everyone ventured outside into the large gardens to the back of Barton Grange for drinks, canapees and live music, it was a fantastic afternoon.
Rob Falcon the entertainer was on fire as usual, with some cracking jokes and introductions for the speeches, wearing a bright orange suit to honour David's love of Blackpool Football Club!
The best men speeches were hilarious, telling lots of stories about David and Emily's relationship together, some stag-do stories (and pictures!!) which David will no doubt want to forget!
Later, we ventured back outside as it was a lovely warm evening, before David and Emily danced the night away to "The Rush" party band.
Absolutely awesome day, here's some photos!
David and Emily are currently on a 3 week honeymoon roadtripping around America, something I have wanted to do for years - can't wait to catch up with you both when you're back. For now, I hope you enjoy these photos!

I used to have a retail shop but sadly that's closed now. The internet changed everything and it's simply too hard to compete with the Amazon's and Ebay's of this world, so we turn the page and start a new chapter.
I've left some of the archive blog posts up just to give you a feel for what we did back in the day. I find that other people's stories and projects often inspire the rest of us to get on with it and make something amazing.
Quiltology now lives on as a custom design studio where I design and sew memory quilts made from clothes and sentimental fabrics. I've worked with t-shirts, men's suiting fabrics, silk ties, grandma's aprons and baby clothes utilizing a variety of techniques and designs to stablize and showcase different types of fabrics.
Some of my quilts are hanging at the Andersonville Galleria in Chicago so you're welcome to drop by there and see them in person! Unfortunately the web does not do justice to the stitching detail and color so apologize in advance for some of the photos on this site.
Please email me if you're interested in a custom project. I'm happy to see what you've got to work and discuss some ideas with you. I live in downtown Chicago and work in Evanston so I'm pretty much available to meet any where on the northside or north shore.
Thanks for checking in.

Question about Intel Motherboard
i have a new motherboard (Gigabyte GA-M61SME-S2L) with a sata hard drive. the problem is that i cannot format the hard drive coz the motherboard always shutdown within 5 or 6 mins after booting from cd. could u send me back any solution?
Posted by betio_boy on
It sounds as if the motherboard is having a temperature safety shutdown. This occurs when the temperature of the CPU exceeds a certain limit.
First off: Please check your CPU fan, power supply fan, and graphics card fan(if you have a gfx card) that they are working. If not, I would highly recommend replacing the fans or at least cleaning them and attempting to get them started by rotating them manually.
Please enter your BIOS (See Here for instructions) and navigate to "PC Health Status" - check the entry for the CPU temperature. While in the BIOS there is little strain on the system, but if the temperature is above 40 degrees Celsius in this state it may be prudent to check the fan setting. Also, check if there is a CPU Fan fail warning/CPU warning temperature - on average the limit should not exceed 60-65 degrees Celsius, max. Set any Fan speed or mode settings to maximum if able.
Try again.
If problem persists, and you are sure the temperature is not too high and/or the CPU fan is working, it may be the power supply itself. It is possible for the power supply to shut itself off in extreme cases such as when a power supply's fan stops working, and the temperature of the power supply rises to an unsafe level. Sometimes the fan will work initially but quit after a certain time. The fan requires replacement if this is the case.
Let the computer sit for a while and check to make sure it is at or near room temperature. Attempt to restart the installation process. When the power is cut, feel where the power supply meets the case to check whether or not it is particularly hot.
Replacement of the power supply's fan should solve that problem. I recommend taking it to a repair shop.
If that is not the problem, a last resort is that the harddrive is overheating and causing a system crash. With the case open, start the computer (mindful to be careful and always touch a large metal object such as the computer case itself before getting your hands near any components to prevent static damage), and wait for it to crash. Place your hand gently on the harddrive. If it is very warm or hot to the touch, most likely the harddrive's actuator arm, circitry, or data plate is malfunctioning and the drive should either be taken to be repaired or replaced.
If none of the components in your computer are particularly hot, please come back with more information on your computer, such as the parts, what you are cd you are booting, any new hardware, etc.

- Oaky- Youtubes next best horse? Entry 4 BexaEquestrian4s contest! *JUDGES PLEASE READ!* Ok so about a ago my house burnt down. My family lost everything. So we moved to a different town about 50miles away. I had rode horse for about 7 years and rode an Arab that was basically a push button horse. Once we started to get settled in I started going to a ranch where I helped out with riding horses and chores. One day they put my this big bay horse. They didn't tell me his name but they told me he was a handful and that he was probably gonna be naughty. So I warmed em up and ran him thru barrels, he was very hot, he jumped the barrels, ran up the fence, danced across the arena, he was basically a blown up barrel horse. I knocked my barrels that night then I ever had in my life! But for some reason I really liked him, and so we decided that we were gonna buy him. Oaky was a 1D barrel horse 2 years earlier and was posted for sale at $20000. Alot of people would buy him, ride him at home, he would scarethe crap out of them and then they would sell him again. Over and over again, he never really had a home. Then I got him, he was blown up, confused and he really didn't know what to think of me, well because I was probably just gonna sell him. But I didn't I worked with him and he got better with time. He started to trust me and I started to trust him. It wasn't easy. It took ALOT of work. Some days I got so frustrated that I was ready to sell em. But we been working reall hard and this past year we have gone from the 4D to running inthe 1D & 2D ...

Marbletris :: Pretty straightforward, easy path to pull off. A-Maze-Ing :: It was tough to get on the wall at the start, but from there it's pretty much straight forward. An awesome edge hit on the moving wall saves you a fair amount of time. Slope Madness :: A very tough, complex path to pull off. Even harder to figure out! Using the Super Bounce at the end cut about 10-15 seconds off my old time, yay for figuring it out! Points of the Compass :: Just some difficult edge hits, skillshotting the thin beams is also hard. Crash Couse :: ARGH! FRUSTRATING! It's so hard to go along the trim, because you can easily hit the side of something and either fall off or lose momentum. Only one stuff up here, trying to go up the triangle with no run up. So all in all, it's a pretty entertaining video. Thanks for watching! Music: I Told You I Was Freekie by Flight of the Conchords.

Save Our Cemeteries and the Archdiocese of New Orleans are pleased to announce that security will be provided every Sunday from 8:00am – 12:00pm for interested historians, genealogists, cemetery buffs and family members to visit St. Louis Cemetery No. 2, bounded by Claiborne, Robertson, St. Louis and Iberville Streets.
St. Louis Cemetery No. 2 was established in 1823 and is located in the Faubourg Treme neighborhood, three blocks behind St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. It is the largest early Creole cemetery in New Orleans, covering three city blocks.
The cemetery is on the National Register of Historic Places and was listed on the 2010 World Monument Funds "Watch List" of most endangered cultural sites because the site is threatened by neglect, vandalism, theft and natural disaster.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 7 nights
Cottage On The Bay
Waterfront home was built on one of the premier lots in Alton Bay around 1902 and has been owned by the same family since 1918.
Looking for Peace and Quiet? This house is very private and quiet as the rear of the property is 4 acres of woods. The property itself is 4.5 acres total.
Boater? Bring your boat and park your trailer in the driveway, or rent a boat from one of the many Marinas around the lake. Park it on the dock on property for your stay. Take the Canoe on site out for a nice ride if you'd like.
Looking for Adventure? Bring an ATV or rent one to try out the many long trails around the lake. Travel a short distance to Weirs Beach or Alton Bay by land or water and have a blast with numerous attractions and come home and relax on the porch.
Have Young Kids who love to swim? Bring them down to the beach on property. The shore is very sandy and the sand bar extends 150 yards from shore and allows for a large, sandy, shallow swimming area.
============== House Details ==============
The house has been modernized, but still retains the old cottage feel. It has a screened in porch facing the water on the west side of Alton Bay which affords excellent views of Lake Winnipesaukee and plentiful morning sun.
The private driveway places this house over 800 feet from the highway through woods. There is an abundance of parking next to the house on the same level as the main floor, and the main floor is accessed by a single six inch step.
On the main (first floor) there is a bedroom in the back with a twin bed and a twin-over-full bunk bed. The completely rebuilt full bath is located on the first floor and now includes the washer and dryer. The second floor has a half bath and three bedrooms, all with queen beds.
The house is fully furnished. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, dishes, silverware and place settings for 10+ persons. Please note that renters must provide their own bed linens and towels.
The beach is located about 40 feet from the house via a concrete and stone stair way. (Vertical distance is about 20 feet.)
The boathouse has two outside docks available to the tenant which will accommodate up to 26-30' boats. The North dock has a depth of 2-2.5' while the South dock has a depth of closer to 3-4'. The sandy beach opens onto a shallow sand bar which extends for 100 feet into the lake with a depth of about 4-6 feet. This is an excellent and safe place for young children to swim in shallow water, but be slow and cautious with boats.
In 2017, the full bath on the first floor was given a new stand-up washer/dryer unit. In 2015, the full bath on the first floor was completely rebuilt and enlarged. In 2014, this house was equipped with a brand new dishwasher along with new toilets, and in 2007, was equipped with all new appliances including a new refrigerator and ceramic top electric range stove.
The cabin contains a propane-fueled baseboard heating system and instant hot water supply.
For rainy day entertainment there is a 50' Plasma TV in the living room with Hulu+, Netflix, HBO, Amazon Streaming, Limited Local Channels and more.
DISCOUNTS Offered for:
-Early Booking
-Consecutive Weeks
-Referrals (both parties)
-Repeat Customers
All rentals require a $1000 refundable security deposit(cashiers check or eCheck) at booking.
Owner prefers contact by email, please use convenient form on this page.
Evan is the fifth generation owner of this property, having inherited it from his father, Peter Burleigh, when he passed away in October 2013. Evan grew up coming to the cottage for lake related activities, and is now a Corporate Educator in the Boston Area. Bronwyn is Evan's partner and the season manager. Together we intend to keep the property in the family by renting it to vacationers every summer and give them the best experience we can!
Evan Burleigh and Bronwyn Rose Hazard purchased this house in 1918
This is some of the cleanest lake water around the New England region. The turn-of-the-century house was 16 years old when my Great, Great Grandfather purchased it in 1918. It had an attached farm and a long, sandy beach, making it one of the best locations on the bay. Over time, the farmland has grown into a large pine forest separating you from the highway. The old farm house was transformed into a summer cottage and remains atop a hill overlooking the majestic Alton Bay.
Accommodations include picturesque views from the elevated quaint, old cottage with a lot of history and character; Lake Winnipesaukee access for swimming on a 150' long beach; boating docks that can support up to a 25' boat; all equipped with updated, modern appliances, WiFi, and a brand new bathroom to make your stay convenient and comfortable.
Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our stay. We especially appreciate the extra day. The weather was beautiful yesterday.
We really relaxed and felt quite at home here. The personal items (Alice's stichery ...) says much about its history. I hope everything is in order.
Thank you.
Jim and Elaine
If you're looking for a true get away to a charming waterfront cottage, on the bay, this is the place for you. Everything was right at our fingertips when we arrived. We had a well-equipped kitchen, grill on the deck, a large screened-in wrap around porch (perfect for al fresco dining @ any time of the day), the beach was clean and the dock area was a great place to catch sun. We have friends and family who live in the lakes region and we invited them to come on over, several times, for a cookout and everyone enjoyed themselves. There is plenty of room for sleeping and entertaining. We skipped supper one rainy night and went right for dessert and coffee at Shibley's Restaurant. Well worth it. If you're looking for the freshest eggs on the planet, check out my friend, Linda's shop, Always in Season @ 119 Main St. Alton, across from Town Hall/Hardware store. We had a great time and we were sad when it was checkout time. Thank you for taking care of us and for sharing your cottage.
This lake front retreat was just what we expected. Quintessential New England lake house! Loved the wrap porch! Beach area in front of house was perfect for our young grandchildren. Our dogs loved the lake access as well!! The morning sun onto the porch was a perfect way to start the day with your cup of coffee. Easy drive into Alton Bay, restaurants and grocery store!!
We have rented this house for the past 3 summers with our children and grandchildren. The house is the perfect, classic Lake House. The setting is as beautiful as you could find on the Lake. We practically live on the front screened-in porch overlooking the Lake and on the beautiful sandy beach (so nice and shallow for the little ones). The house has always been clean when we arrive. The four bedrooms and 11/2 baths have accommodated our family well. The rooms and floors are furnished in a typical cottage manner -- meant to be worry free when kids and dogs are in and out all day, sandy feet in tow. No stress-- total relaxation. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary tools for cooking. There is a local "handy dad" who is available to help with any issues that arise. We've had no problem in getting our deposit back from the owner in a reasonable period of time and have enjoyed our e-mail contacts with him. In summary, if you are looking for a fancy hotel style Lake experience you may want to look elsewhere. This house is for those who appreciate a simple, bygone-era, Lake vacation.
The view is great, the rent is cheap, and the lake is wonderful. thats it for the positives.
The place is dirty and poorly maintained. Old furniture, cheap dirty carpet, peeling paint, and just plain grimy. the pots, silverware, and kitchen appliances are older then me. the refrigerator broke while we were there and we lost our food. the deck on the back is improperly built and dangerous. the boathouse is sinking and on rotten timbers.
Biggest problem is the owner. Has not returned our damage deposit despite emails saying "the check in in the mail". Has not responded to our inquiries. We are in the process of legal action. My advice is that you do not leave nor pay without a return of your deposit. I suspect the issue is that they are strapped for money as the power was turned off while we were there due to non-payment of their electric bill.
My husband and I rented this home at the end of the summer last year and it was everything we hoped for. We were overdue for a vacation and this turned out to be a great getaway. It was private, peaceful and very relaxing. We spent alot of time on the beautiful screened in porch enjoying the view and the solitude. Even our english bulldog enjoyed himself! He loves the water but isn't a very good swimmer, so the beach was perfect for him.
We looked at many rental properties online before choosing this one. It had everything we needed and the location was great. It was a very private spot and at the same time just a short drive to stores and shops including Dunkin Donuts!
We are definitiely interested in renting this home again...we loved it!!
I am a 26 year old female, who spent a week at this great spot last August. There were 8 of us in total. The house has a very cozy feel, and it over looks the gorgeous lake. The house is fully equipped with everything you may need! The house, although older, is very clean, and feels like home! There is a big TV (which we barely even used), as well as an awesome screened in porch that we frequently made use of. Additionally, the landlord ensures that the place is turned over quickly and that everything is cleaned out before the next tenant occupies the house. There is an available contact to call at anytime should you have any questions, concerns etc. (Although we didnt have one single problem or question while we were there!). It really was a wonderful vacation, and would recommend it to anyone and everyone to rent this place.
Located minutes from historic Alton Bay, a hub of activity for Lake Winnipesaukee. Reachable by boat or car, you can play mini-golf, go to a roller-rink, get ice cream, and get on the Mount Washington. Plus find numerous dining and shopping options. Or travel 15 min to Weirs Beach or Laconia, also either by car or boat, for numerous options including old fashioned arcades, go-karts, and even a drive-in movie theater.
|Pet Fee
|Refundable damage deposit
Renters are required to give a $1000 Security deposit at the time of booking in order to reserve dates. This is refundable in full when you have checked out and the property is clean and undamaged. In the case of a dirty home or anything broken, the deposit will be held by the owner until repairs can be made, and costs will be taken from the security deposit for cleaning and/or repairs before returning the remaining balance to the renter. The Pet fee is per pet for the duration of your stay regardless of how many weeks you book.

Dear Angie: I have a contractor set to replace my concrete. However, the contractor wants 90 percent of the agreed-to price before any concrete is poured, and I am reluctant to agree to that. Do you recommend a schedule of payment? — Paul S., Littleton, Colo.
Dear Paul: It's not uncommon for contractors to ask for a down payment upfront to secure your spot on their schedule or buy some of the job materials in advance.
Asking for more than half of the project cost upfront, though, is a big red flag.
A reputable and established contractor should have the wherewithal to buy enough materials to get the job started without relying on your down payment.
I recommend tying payments to progress made during the job. More than half of contractors who responded to a nationwide Angie's List poll said they require down payments. Of those, though, 75 percent said they are willing to negotiate on down payment terms.
Many also said they are willing to work with homeowners to establish payment schedules as certain milestones are met on the job. For example, you could offer the contractor three equal payments: one for delivery of materials, another when the concrete is poured and a final payment once the concrete has cured and you are satisfied with its appearance and performance.
If the contractor isn't flexible about establishing reasonable payment terms before even starting the project, it could be a warning signal that the contractor could be difficult to work with if other disputes arise during the project. A rational contractor should understand that a home owner shouldn't have to pay for the job before it's done, just as the contractor wouldn't expect to wait to get any money after the job was done.
There are certainly exceptions to this rule of thumb; for example, if the project requires special materials that the contractor must order in advance. However, with what appears to be a routine concrete job, I don't see that being the case.
I propose you discuss your concerns with your contractor. If he or she can't offer a reasonable explanation for the high down payment requirement and is not willing to adjust that, I recommend that you find another contractor.

Examples of writings
from Among trees
I walk into the breathy gatherings of trees,
their games with light, their unease with sound;
unsettled instruments, they are voices perhaps,
unseen or missing, and in their tensed flesh
is their restlessness, shaped into strained sinews
over loud, troubled bones…
from 3 Trials by Water
The opera is set over the course of several months in a part flooded coastal city in the near future. The Opera is in three acts; the duration of each act is 40 minutes.
Orchestral Prelude – fleeing.
(The curtain rises on the CHORUS OF THE DISPOSSESSED, milling around the stage in confusion and terror. The scene is a bleak hillside, where they've clearly only just arrived, and on which they are encamped as refugees. There are tents, blue tarpaulin, cooking fires; they are a lost, disorientated people. Suddenly, they raise their voices in shock and agony).
Not to us!
Not to our lives!
Not to our people!
Not the waters that came suddenly
like a violent army we had wronged,
vengeful, angry, full of our guilt,
sweeping us from our houses
up into these hills, where they pursue us
in terrible storms, rains that burn our backs,
falling like acid, making the ground boil.
It was a night a week ago
that became more and more restless,
more terrifying, more unknown:
the sea, for years, pressing on the land
as if to claim it, the ground slowly liquefying,
the air becoming an unnatural fire
of fierce rain and shimmering drought,
then that night the sun set
in strange, misshapen colours,
a distorted, inverted rainbow,
as if for the last time. Then, at midnight,
the sound of a great roaring,
as if a crowd was baying for us
and would not stop until we were caught.
No chance, no change:
we were outside
and it caught up with us,
sweeping us away until we died
or woke on the sea's new shore.
The water will not leave us.
It declares us guilty…
from Hymn for Royal Wootton Bassett.
Tune: Abbot's Leigh or Blaenwern
We are God's great shout of glory,
we are Christ's fierce cry renewed,
we, the Spirit's passionate mercy,
we are hope made real, made true.
God has made us royal in our calling,
royal in fullest humanity,
there with Christ in all His suffering,
this is our true royalty.
Truly, as the Hercules landed
bringing them from suffering,
so we stood in silence, grounded
in the Christ, the wounded king,
saying wordlessly, they mattered,
every name for us is known,
though by pain the heart is shattered,
yet the Cross is Christ's true throne…
from ORDINARY TIME LITURGY
Acclamation of Christ
Why have we come here?
Because you, Lord Jesus,
have drawn us here in love.
Why have we come to pray?
Because, Crucified,
you draw us,
sinful and longing,
to you.
Why have we come to worship?
Because, Lord Jesus,
we proclaim we are your brothers and sisters,
that your elect are those
who know themselves poor and broken
and in need of you.
So we have come, so we are here.
So we long to know you, holy Lord.
Prayers of the people, ending with:
Creator God, who made humanity to be holy,
Holy Spirit, who lives in us,
Christ, who died for us
may your name be honoured and adored.
May your New Realm come,
for your Elect are not who we expected.
May your will be done,
and may we come to know and love your will,
in the daily acts of truth and love
that are the heart of God, and draw us to God.
Feed us with the bread of life and living springs,
for we are hungry and thirsty.
Forgive us our wrongdoings,
may we be willing to forgive.
Lead us away from temptation,
and deliver us from the evil that haunts us.
For yours is everything, all majesty,
honour, holiness, delight and power,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Eucharistic Prayer
As we cry out for love, so God again calls us to the table of Her Son, Jesus Christ.
The meal of love is simple, mere bread and wine on a wooden table.
We are here in the presence of God, people who seek God's love.
Love quietly calls to our whole being. Jesus, affectionate, tender and intimate yet blazing with holiness and grief for His suffering people, sits down to eat with us, even us.
The Creator of the universe, in all God's glory, was hungry and thirsty, and as Jesus asked the outcast Samaritan woman for a drink of water so long ago, so now He asks us to eat and drink with Him.
And so, Lord, here we remember the time of your suffering,
that You, Jesus, in the same night that you were betrayed,
knowing you were to be betrayed
but persistent and vulnerable in your love,
took bread and gave the Creator thanks;
you broke it and gave it to your disciples, saying…
So come,
do not draw back
do not count yourselves unworthy to dine with Christ,
but receive Love with love,
for here Jesus says to you:
Peace be with you.
from Praying with Music (Bach Passions)
Waymark 2
As the whole experience of the Gospels gathers around these opening choruses, so our reading on this Waymark is not directly from the Passion texts but from the long engagement that Bach and his librettist would have had with the whole Christian story as it unfolded in their own inner lives. These two creative artists would have spent their lives listening deeply for the unspoken words and lives of the distressed, angry and sometimes joyful and hopeful crowds that people the gospels and their city (a city wounded by the persecution of its Jewish community in the 1930s, shattered by the 1940s bombings, and since then on a journey of healing, which included the eruption of hope in 1989 which ended the Communist regime).
Jesus had spent much of his life surrounded by crowds of those who longed to know him, be healed by him, be understood by him, be taught by him, if his teaching could reach into the parts of their lives and personalities that they didn't like, didn't understand and had never stopped being at war with. A people without God who died for them, or a people who, given the struggling reality of their lives, cannot bring themselves yet to believe in God's mercy and healing, a people engaged in a permanent civil war with themselves, are the characters who make up the swirling crowds whose voices burst out at the opening of the two surviving Bach Passions.
At the opening of the St. Matthew Passion, Bach portrays us all on our long pilgrimage to our encounter with God at the Cross. The air is alive with our prayers, uncertainties, anxieties and questions…
Quiet Day (Holy Cross Day)
from Waymark 1
The story of the crucifixion seems to be that of the fabric of love, the love intended for us, being slowly, frighteningly distorted, twisted, then broken. Christ's loving heart freely reaches out to Judas, but is answered by a bought betrayal. The protective, purgative, healing process of the law is twisted into the brutal, ugly story of Pilate's political weakness and forced compromise against the instincts of his heart, where truth is blocked from deciding the outcome because the potential political and personal cost of that truth is unbearable to Christ's judges. The tenderness of the body being washed, the feet, with its delicate nerve endings, handled by Jesus with such gentleness, becomes the skin-tearing scourge with its bone fragments in a leather strap and the nails and raw outcry and anger and spat mockery of the cross. It is the story of human evil and brokenness gradually unfolding, of terrible processes with deep roots in the human heart unfolding to their chosen consequences, and then the silence of the tomb's shock and disbelief.
The strong, strange, awesome weakness of God, the holy oddness of His unexpected Spirit, means that a day that starts like this, a day that seems that it will only leave a deep scarring of guilt and grief on the disciples' hearts, becomes by the sheer holy force of the Spirit a journey to renewal and hope, and not the slow, inevitable spiral of destructive guilt, with its physical and emotional consequences, that could have been the result of the disciples' deep failure. Instead, the ruin of the Cross becomes for all who participate in its redemptive force, then and now, a journey that is still unfolding for us, a journey that will perhaps take a new turn for us today.
The Cross, that hideous, ugly symbol of criminality punished in a terrible way, is a place of strangeness and contradictions, and yet it is this kind of inner life that makes it the source of our spiritual energy…
Retreat Leader
I am an experienced retreat leader, liturgist and preacher. At the Ammerdown Centre link, I have led all the Quiet Days and developed a new retreat called Praying with Music (see below). I'm now being invited by outside organisations to lead retreats – see below for recent evaluations.
I am now working on the following projects:
- Waymarks of the Gospel, a new book of meditations based on the Gospel stories.
- Praying with Music, a book of meditations of the spiritual and emotional meanings of great music.
A sample of the feedback I've been getting:
19th April 2014: Easter Saturday Quiet Day, Chepstow Priory.
Dear Euan,
On behalf of the Parish of Chepstow, I should like to commend you for the Quiet Day which was organised and led by you at St. Mary's Priory, Chepstow on Holy Saturday.
As feedback I should like to make the following observations about the day:
The ancient Priory Church had been prepared in advance in a way which lent itself well to the monastic history of the church. Stations were carefully situated throughout the building to give space and opportunities for prayer and reflection. The themes at each station led the participants on a journey around the central theme of the day 'Called by Jesus'. These prayerful spaces were each accompanied by thought provoking visual aids to draw us into a theme for contemplation. They were placed in a way that created sacred spaces which were sensitive to the particular chosen areas of the church building.
The day allowed each person to choose how much or how little they wished to partici- pate in. However the high points of the day were the 'Waymark' talks which took place between the times for quiet reflection. Euan Tait has a special way of drawing you into a place of deep refection as he develops his theme throughout the day, allowing each per- son to reach their own level of contemplation.
The day was also complemented by an art workshop where Bible texts were chosen to create imaginative stations of the cross, which were then assembled and painted.
We all benefited from the way in which Euan led this Quiet Day on this most holy of days as we were drawn into the mystery of the Vigil of the Resurrection. He is without doubt the most sensitive and inspiring leader of a Retreat that I have ever encountered.
Our heartfelt thanks go to you from the Parish of Chepstow,
Yours in our Lord's service,
Revd. Christopher Blanchard. Vicar of Chepstow

Very well prepared…"
St. Bartholemew's, Wootton Basset: "Thank you for all your wonderful prayers."
Librettos and Poetry
Euan's aim as a librettist is to write words that are a powerful catalyst for music, with strong choral architecture, and which speak in the widest possible way for the spiritual longings of a very diverse society. I delight in writing for choral composers, and feel there is a growing passion for shared singing among the public, and would love to be there to offer new words for composers to enjoy shaping into their own music. Please use the contact form for commissions.
Euan's visibility as a librettist is increasing rapidly among choirs and conductors in the US, UK and EU.
Euan has now produced a wide range of choral works with the Norwegian composer Kim André Arnesen. Two major works have recently been premiered. The first, The Christmas Alleluias, was performed by The Valley Chamber Chorale, Stillwater, Minnesota, and conductor Carol Carver in December 2015. The second, The Wound in the Water, was first performed in Norway's great cathedral in Trondheim in July 2016 by Conspirare under Craig Hella Johnson,in the presence of government ministers, and was broadcast on national radio. Of the shorter choral works, Flight Song, dedicated to the St. Olaf Choir and conductor Anton Armstrong, was performed across the US, including at Carnegie Hall, NYC. December 2016 saw the widely praised premier of a new Christmas work, His Light in Us, under Anton Armstrong (also viewable on YouTube). See also the "Choral Music" section at http://www.kimarnesen.com/#!works/c1h6a which includes publication details of these works.
Euan's first choral symphony libretto, Unfinished Remembering, with acclaimed music by Paul Spicer, was first performed on 13th September 2014, with the Birmingham Bach choir, the Orchestra of the Swan, and soloists Johane Ansell (soprano) and baritone William Dazeley. The vocal score is currently being prepared for a second printing for further performances, and Euan appeared twice on BBC Midlands Today, including at a rehearsal of his and Spicer's new National song, 'A Shared Singing'.
Euan is developing other projects, with international choral composers, including an opera.
Response to Unfinished Remembering libretto (2014):
"laden with intensity and meaning…Tait generates a kind of counterpoint akin to David Pountney's triple-layered text for his Royal Academy and Juilliard School student opera Kommilitonen! (the music there by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies)… it works staggeringly well in one key respect: there is the feeling of not just unease, but danger in the air. Battered by cruellest memories, we are reliving – just as Great War veterans, or Holocaust survivors, the bombed and the battered, the displaced and disquieted anywhere, must relive – the horrors of trauma, and seeking to preserve something, even some kind of ideal, from the rubble. 'Who was the boy surrounded by hate and stabbed to death in our streets? What was his name? He was our dream architect…'. The endless questions boil down to one thing: a mutual, universal quest to discover our humanity." http://seenandheard-international.com/2014/10/premiere-of-paul-spicers-exciting-new-choral-symphony-makes-a-strong-impact-in-birmingham/
Kim André Arnesen, on the anthem text Flight Song: " I have had time to both read and sing your poem, and I think it´s beautiful. Just what I had in mind with a poem about singing, but keeping it universal and as you say, being valid for many people. And it really appeals to young people. And I feel it´s spiritual as well keeping it universal…t's been a pleasure working with you." (April 26th 2014, via email)
"The text by Scottish poet and retreat master Euan Tait opens with the line "All we are we have found in song." Arneson's setting of the poem was given a ravishing reading by the choir, and it truly seemed that the group of young people on stage had found themselves in song and (that they are) "alive to love, we sing as love." " Worcester Telegram & Gazette – telegram.com Worcester, MA, 2015
Response to A Shared Singing, the new national song for the Military Choir Birmingham, 16th November 2013:
"A Shared Singing" was also wonderful to hear and sing: somehow I think it could well be in the canon of patriotic songs in the decades and centuries ahead. I was not the only one who had that unmistakeable catching at the heart and slight crack in the voice, because of the words and their music, which goes with such songs, and if that is any sort of harbinger of things to come, well… what more is there to be said? … I can only say thank you so very much: it has a rightness of time and place which so rarely comes." Barbara, singer, Birmingham Bach Choir.
Between 1995-9, having worked in horticultural and craft projects with learning disabled clients, I developed a small work project for L'Arche Bognor Regis as their Workshop Leader, including meeting the specific needs of retired clients and opening a small shop in a high street location, selling cards by our talented designers, candles and rugs woven by clients.
In 2001, excited by the possibilities of employment for clients with learning disabilities, I became an Employment Co-ordinator/Job Coach for Connect in Swindon, working with mainly young adult clients to develop effective training programmes for them, seeking new work training opportunities with local employers and helping clients to develop their skills to such a standard that lasting employment would result. Then, in 2009, I was offered the post of Skills Factory Coordinator in Enterprise Works, Swindon, a social firm in the same building as Connect. This involved working with local schools and colleges and designing, and delivering work training projects to young clients with Asperger's, autism and learning disabilities.
In 2010 -11, I helped deliver employment skills training to groups from Jobcentreplus as part of Energy2's new employment training initiative in Swindon. I also took part in launching the Safe Place scheme in Swindon (2011). This is a scheme designed to enable people with learning disabilities to access the community safely by having safe shops and business in the community as safe places in the event of emergency. It meant going out to across the town to introduce the scheme and enable businesses, some of whom were very sceptical at first, to implement it. See our radio interview, and the Safe Place scheme across Swindon, for the successful results!!
I have continued to deliver training as Ammerdown's Interfaith and Training Officer (2011-13), working with staff, customers, and outside agencies as part of Ammerdown's community work. I have developed and delivered new courses at Ammerdown which have received very positive responses.
"The song writing was awesome…it was fun writing the lyrics…I enjoyed the song writing…I didn't know about Emmett Till before." Sidcot School Philosophy and ethics students on my Song Lyric writing course, April 2013.
"Your stimulus material was of a high standard, matching the importance of the content. " Charlotte E.S. House, Teacher, Sidcot School, Somerset, April 2013.
Song Lyric Writing courses, 2012: "I have heard nothing but very positive comments from staff and students about the retreat day at Ammerdown and about your song workshops. It hit all our buttons, as they say – the spiritual content was strong and appropriate for the age group, there was a significant dimension of cultural history and the kind of work we do on tolerance, and the music dimension was of course perfect for our specialist interest in performing arts. I hope the students brought a good attitude to all the workshops, but from my point of view it worked very well. Thanks for all your hard work. I would also add that I thought your manner with the students was excellent. Very kind and encouraging, with good pace and use of resources – I think you have a natural flair for teaching! Best wishes Raymond"
Raymond Friel MA(Hons) NPQH | Executive Headteacher , St Gregory's Catholic College
"She went on to add that if it weren't for the training & mentoring she received at Energy2, she would never have gone ahead with this course and was most grateful for Euan's support in helping her regain her lost confidence. Well done Euan!"
Jennifer Dsouza Administrator, Energy2
"A big thank you to all of you at Ammerdown for making my trial volunteering weekend such an enjoyable experience. Euan is a brilliant trainer, a real professional."
Jenny Daniels, trainee volunteer, Ammerdown.
"Good afternoon Euan, I would like to thank you for your support in designing and delivering the Ready Steady Job courses that we have been running over the past few months. The wide age range and mixed ability levels, including learning disabilities, have made the training groups a very positive challenge. I would like to compliment you on the ease with which you have been able to relate to each client and build rapport within the groups. You have demonstrated a genuine understanding of their needs, which have been strongly orientated towards practical and visual learning, and have applied appropriate learning techniques and materials, for example role play, imagery and group interviews. Consequently, the feedback so far from our clients has been excellent. Well done, Euan.
Best regards Elaine" Elaine Graham, Training Officer at Energy2work
"Hi Euan, I was at a meeting with Sally Grubb last night when she mentioned your work with her students. She said she had had feedback from one of her team about your direct and positive interaction with [student], particularly on one morning when no one had managed to engage with him apart from you. She also commented on your skill to see the positive in people and again [student's] name was mentioned. I wanted to share this with you and your managers – well done you! Best regards Ann"
Ann King, Supported Employment Project Manager at Energy2, Swindon Borough Council
Latest News – Music Retreats
These retreats are explorations of the inner life of music, its spiritual and emotional forces, by a praying poet. While they are neither singing weekends nor do they involve in depth technical analysis, they welcome performers and non-performers alike into an experience of the works that aims to greatly enrich their imaginative response to the music and words – music as a constantly unfolding creative gift in each life.
2018 feedback below – and see FEEDBACK TAB.
2017 feedback included: ..a knowledgeable and passionate leader….I was amazed at the depth of knowledge and the obvious love of the retreat leader for his subject…he is both humble and humourous, a good combination…it really was superb…" (Douai,Bruckner)
Douai Abbey: Easter Retreat (29th March -1st April) Handel Messiah – mainly concentrating on Parts 2 and 3.
Easter Retreat 2018: Waiting and welcome.
To walk with Jesus through love, sharing his way to the Cross; to wait for Jesus on the Easter Saturday, listening to the Holy Spirit stir in our hearts; to welcome the resurrected Christ on Easter Sunday with a "living, rushing water" joy. The new gift of each year's Triduum is the freshness of its grace, in how we open our beings anew to the life of Christ. This year Douai offers a new way to experience this holy time: a pilgrimage through great music, Handel's Messiah, prefaced by reflective talks to help us live this pilgrimage fully. The time will as ever be infused by the liturgies of the community in the great Abbey Church. Participant feedback included: "Excellent speaker, with deep insights into the spiritual message of Easter…what a delight to have Euan run it…very interesting, highly knowledgeable…Euan guided us through the Easter story passionately (but gently), using Handel's 'Messiah' as a conduit, and embroidered his own beautiful poetry…He led us beautifully into contact with God and ourselves…"
Writing to God:
creating our own prayers, psalms, journals and poems
(Douai Abbey, 26th – 28th October 2018)
The beauty of relating to God is that we are called to speak freely and with utter honesty to Jesus, to open our hearts fully without fear. Our creative written responses help open us up to this life-giving relationship, and during this weekend we will be exploring how to write prayers, our own versions of psalms, short poems and journal entries: an exciting creative journey that aims to greatly enrich our own work. It is recommended you bring your own writing materials – laptops or notebooks as you prefer. SEE FEEDBACK TAB FOR RESPONSES TO 1 DAY VERSION.
Ammerdown, 30th November – 2nd December 2018. *NOTE: REVISED DATE*
"Unto us a child is born"
Praying with Handel's Messiah for Advent.
Euan returns to Ammerdown in 2018 to explore the joyful transformation of heart and spirit that the Messiah's Part 1 Christmas music represents – as part of our Advent time of praying and preparation for Christmas. While the opening Symphony is both solemn prayer and a release of joyful energy that foreshadows the Christmas music, the opening numbers shows God reaching out to us afresh when we still long for redemption – touching those aspects of ourselves that are still struggling. The Christmas music sings of our new spiritual freedom, God calling to us always to rediscover His love and salvation as a new gift, almost as if received for the first time this year.
All retreats start on Friday evening and end with Sunday lunch. … Read more →

Back in 1997,
before I began this blog,
I started a company
around my kitchen table
and called it
Homemade Gourmet .
It was a way to provide extra income while staying home to raise and homeschool my 4 children, who were ages 9, 7, 4 and 2 at that time.
In His perfect wisdom, God started me down this path with a simple idea to hand make mixes of my favorite family recipes and sell them, sharing with customers how to use the recipes to get dinner on the table fast and easy (and within budget!). Over the years it grew into a nationally known brand with a mission to Bring Families Back to the Dinner Table.
Today Homemade Gourmet carries on without me, operating under the ownership of an investment group that acquired the company in 2007. They eventually took the company in a direction that did not require me to stay employed by them, but I still have a passion for food, family and fun!
Since then, I've developed this blog with that same 'around the table' concept and use it as a place to post what's cooking at my home, share ideas for meal planning or pass along menu suggestions you might enjoy at your home, around your table.
Most of the recipes featured use the seasoning and baking blends I created and packaged so many years ago. Since I no longer package them, I have put them into a series of Ecookbooks that you can purchase here {click to 'the store'} Or click here to read more about the blends.
I am so glad you have come to my table today and hope you will pull up a chair often. One way to stay connected is to join my email list and get notifications when new recipes are posted.
To get signed up, just click here...
I LOVE hearing from you, so don't forget to leave a comment (you can even do it anonymously if you like!)
God Bless and Keep You,

Selena Gomez Promises To Reveal Secrets About Her True Self
Selena Gomez posted an enlightening note on Instagram for all of her 33 million followers to see. In the upload, she not only promised to reveal true secrets about herself, but she claimed to be 'reborn' in this 'next chapter' of her life. But what does it all mean?
Wow! On June 4, Selena Gomez, 22, posted an incredibly reflective — yet vague — message on social media, consisting of a cute pic of flowers near the phrase "I want to claim my own name," accompanied by a very lengthy letter to her fans. The pop princess opened up about her past pain, what makes her frustrated in life and what she's looking forward to in the future. Read on to try and make sense of the brunette beauty's mysterious words!
"Sometimes I get frustrated when I hear lies about who I am. The Internet is meant to keep you 'updated' but it just takes old news and freezes it like it's now. You have watched me in pain and I've owned up to it through my music and actions. I grew up with you. I am beyond excited to show you the next chapter. the TRUTH. I've been keeping secrets…I'm reborn in every moment so who knows what I'll become.. As long as I'm happy with me. #strongisbeautiful #healthyperspectiveonthemfools," Selena thoughtfully wrote.
While Sel has left us with more questions than answers about what this new phase in her life will entail, we absolutely cannot wait to find out! Interestingly, this emergence of personal growth comes just one week after the Latina stunner was spotted attending service at Hillsong Church in LA. Did Miss Gomez's faith inspire her to make a change in her life?
While we have just the slightest feeling Selena's words could be somewhat about her fellow churchgoer and ex-beau, Justin Bieber, 21, we're just glad she seems to have finally found happiness and a "healthy perspective." You go, girl!
Selena Gomez Will Release Hot New Song 'Soon,' Manager Confirms
Selena fans everywhere are surely hoping their queen's "next chapter" includes brand new music. Well, there's good news — because her team confirmed she'll be releasing new material "soon!"
On an Instagram post of the former Disney darling's manager, Aleen Keshishian's, a fan inquired, "Sorry for asking again. Some Selenators ask if Selena's new single will come out before August or July? I know we have to stay tuned but is there no little hint for us? sorry Aleen. WE Love you," to which she replied, "Soon. You will have a good summer!" Ah-mazing!
HollywoodLifers — let us know what YOU think of this new stage in Selena's life! What do you think it's about?
— Evan Real

|Acclaimed Army veteran to be guest speaker at Vets Day banquet
|Community opportunities to observe Veterans Day abound in the area this coming weekend. Formerly known in the United States as Armistice Day, the holiday was renamed in 1954, to acknowledge that all veterans are honored on this day, November 11, for their military service to the country. The date marks the anniversary of the end of World War I in 1918, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when hostilities were formally ended. On this 99th anniversary, the community begins its observance of Veterans Day with a Saturday breakfast open to all veterans and their families at the Wet Mountain Valley Saddle Club on County Road 241. The free, hearty country breakfast is sponsored by American Legion Post 170 Ladies Auxillary, and will be served from 7 to 10 a.m. That evening, the annual Veterans Day Banquet convenes at 6 p.m. in Tonys Mountain Pizza, Silver Cliff. An extraordinary and outstanding speaker is featured this year. Shilo Harris, US Army Staff Sgt (Ret), son of a Vietnam veteran, enlisted as a Calvary Scout shortly after 9/11. On his second deployment with the 10th Mountain Division, he was assigned to service near southern Baghdad during the war in Iraq. On February 19, 2007, Harris life was changed forever when his vehicle was struck by an IED, killing three of his fellow soldiers and injuring the driver. He survived, but with third degree burns on 35 percent of his body; he lost his ears, the tip of his nose and three fingers, and sustained fractures of his left collarbone and C-7 vertebrae. Harris was in a medically induced coma for 48 days, and spent nearly three years recovering in San Antonios Brooklyn Medical Centers burn unit. His recovery involved more than 75 surgeries, and participation in new regenerative stem-cell research to regrow his fingers; he also later received prosthetic ears, and struggled with post-traumatic stress. Medically retired from the military in 2010, he says of his time in the service and his injuries, Everything in life is a gift. Sometimes it may not be the gift you want but you realize that your challenges are a new beginning. That new beginning for him involved his authoring Steel Will: My Journey through Hell to Become the Man I was Meant to Be, and becoming a motivational speaker across the country. His mission now includes educating the nation in the life experience of wounded service members, empowering Americans in promoting and protecting wounded and retired veterans, and inspiring positive life changes in all who are dealing with their own adversities. It would not have been possible to bring this gifted, sharing veteran to Custer County without the help of the Coalition to Salute Americas Heroes. Charles Bogle, member of the sponsoring American Legion Post 170, is one of two Colorado representatives in this national service group, and was quietly instrumental in scheduling Shilo Harris, who will be speaking elsewhere earlier on Veterans Day, into Custer County. As of press time, the event may be sold out, but inquiries may be addressed to Post 170s Bob Dreher at 783-2462 or 371-4026. Tim Swartz, Custer County Veteran Services Officer, notes that the occasion of Harris being here is a great opportunity. I have Steel Will at home, and look forward to reading it. In addition to Shilo Harris presence and presentation, the Coalitions local 22 Standing Campaign is ending its poignant consciousness raising program at the banquet. This daily awareness activity has been dedicated to the 22 veterans across the country that daily take their own lives as a result of wounds physical or mental sustained in war. Juan Perez, active in the Coalition, will be attending the banquet from Colorado Springs. He somberly says, 22 a day is 22 too many. Veterans and supporters across the country are going to be standing to give a voice to those who feel they no longer have theirs. He and those who have been following him on Facebook have been standing in silent solidarity for our veterans before the flag they fought to defend for 2 minutes and 22 seconds across the 22 days from October 21st to Veterans Day. On that 22nd day, Perez and those in attendance at the Veterans Day Banquet will stand in this recognition at Tonys. The program has also set $22,000 as its fundraising goal. Go to Perez Facebook page to learn more, then visit https://app.mobilecause.com/ f/1kcu/n and donate $22 dollars. Perez notes The Tomb [of the Unknown Soldier] has not been unguarded for a single minute since 1937. The sentinels there stand in silence for those whose names they will never know. Stand for 2 minutes and 22 seconds for our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, neighbors and work colleagues who struggle in their own silence to make it through the day. As they honor and guard our heroic dead, let us honor and guard our heroes struggling to live. Veterans Day is filled with activities, as grateful hearts are filled throughout the community with recognition and remembrance of the indebtedness for freedoms owed to our veterans. W.A. Ewing

Animatronics refers to the application of elctronically controlled electric motors and maunaully controlled pulleys and levers to create motion in mechanical puppets. The goal of an animatronic puppet is to create a lifelike representation of an existing organism or fantasy creature. The technology was developed in the early 1960's by engineers at the Disneyland Resort for the Enchanted Tiki Room attraction. The name given to the technology was Audio-Animatronics. The "puppets" used tones recorded on audio tape which through an elctronic interface caused a pneumatic valve to move part of the character. The technology has advanced considerably since the Tiki Room application, and today animatronic puppets are used extensively in film and television productions as well theme parks and other forms of entertainment.
The application of animatronics today includes computer controlled as well as radio and manually controlled devices. The actuation of specific movements can be obtained with electric motors, pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders and cable driven mechanisms. The type of mechanism employed is dictated by the character parameters, specific movement requirements and the project constraints.Puppets are constructed to perform action on camera for many reasons, including:
- -Creation of creatures that do not exist
- -The action is too risky or costly to use real actors or animals
- -The action could never be obtained with a living person or animal
The technology has advanced to the point that animatronic puppets can be made indiscernable from their living counterparts. The action, as captured with a puppet, in-camera provides for a believable, interactive character that has yet to be achieved with digital imagery.
