Nineveh, Jonah and the big fish
Nineveh, Jonah and the big fish
As I reflected on Nineveh, three stories jumped out at me. Nineveh, Jonah and the big fish all have their own individual stories to tell. Nineveh, whose citizens were wicked, repented and was saved from certain annihilation when Jonah preached God's message to them only to fall back into their wicked ways many years later.
Jonah ran in the opposite direction of God's call and nearly drowned after being thrown into the sea on the way to Tarshish. The book of Jonah says, "But the Lord provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights," illustrating that God's idea of provision may be a little different from ours.
Jonah wisely repented after being swallowed by the big fish.
Big fish
But, what about that big fish? I have been thinking about her so much that I have become fond of her and named her Grace. We hear sermons about Jonah and Nineveh all the time, but what about Gracie? We do not know much about her except that she was huge and she was obedient to God's command. I think we can learn a thing or two about Grace from her adventure.
Uncomfortable Grace
It could not have been too comfortable for Jonah inside that big fish stomach, which, as heartless as this sounds, was good for him. He was able to sit and be still and know that God is God and do what God had called him to do. Gracie couldn't have been too comfy either. Imagine what it would be like to swallow something whole and have it rumble around in your tummy for three days and nights.
Then in Jonah, Chapter 2 we read, "And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land." Poor Gracie! I am thinking that at the very least, she suffered indigestion in all of this. I wondered also, did she become beached? Did she die there on dry land? Or did God in His infinite mercy bring the waves crashing up to place His good and faithful servant into the water so that she could breathe again? We do not hear of her fate, but we do know she was obedient to His call.
Big Fish Leadership
Leadership is like this. Sometimes, like Gracie, we are called by God to do a task that causes us discomfort in order to help others. He is calling up leaders who are ready to come alongside someone in need and carry that sister or brother inside their bellies, so to speak, in order for God to accomplish His purpose.
Carrying others
Sometimes God's call is a life-changing, heart wrenching request like putting your life on hold to help a loved one through their last illness. Sometimes it is just a small kindness like thoughtfully asking someone we don't know or like too well into our little circle. It does not matter to God whether we, as His leaders, find our sister or brother unlovely, whether we like them or hold some sort of prejudice against them. In His grace, His love and favor, we are all precious in His sight.
Trusting His Agenda
Trust in God to work things out as He did through Gracie. God in His eternal perspective had individual plans within His great plan, for each of the participants in this story including my friend Gracie. Follow God, who not only is our Great Leader, but as
He tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, "I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Our Leader knows the future, has a plan of hope for you and will always be there for you.
Grace obediently put God's agenda ahead of her own. It was by Grace, Jonah had been saved; God's grace, that is. Just as it is by grace we have been saved . . . it is the gift of God . . . For we are God's workmanship, (leaders), created in Christ Jesus to do good works, (lead), which God prepared in advance for us to do. Eph 2:8&10.
Trust the Big Fish Plan (sometimes we are Jonah)
So, remember our sister Gracie the next time God places you in a "Jonah" position. I have to believe she felt much better after her part in God's plan was finished. I have faith that God will not only touch other people's lives through you, but that you will be a changed person "from glory to glory" and a more effective leader if you follow God's "Big Fish Style" leadership plan for your life.
Q4U: Any suggestions on how to make it easier to carry the Jonah's God has asked you to carry?

By Andrea Stone, USA TODAY
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The presidential race won't be the only close vote here next week.
A constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman and deny recognition to any "substantial equivalent" has stirred pocketbook concerns among Florida's seniors and those with domestic partner benefits.
Voters in California and Arizona also will decide Nov. 4 whether to change their constitutions to prevent courts from overturning laws barring same-sex marriage.
The California Supreme Court threw out a ban on same-sex nuptials in May. Since then, more than 11,000 gay couples have wed, says UCLA's Williams Institute for Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy. Polls show voters evenly divided.
Floridians are more focused on the presidential race. "When we have such monumentally critical issues as the cratering economy and the war, those seem so much more important," University of South Florida political scientist Susan MacManus says.
The issue has faded nationally since 2004, when voters in 13 states approved constitutional bans after the high court in Massachusetts made it the first to legalize gay marriage. There are now 27 states with amendments.
A decision this month by the Connecticut Supreme Court making it the third state where gays can wed lends urgency to the effort in Florida, says John Stemberger, head of Yes2Marriage.org, the main sponsor of Amendment 2 here. "There really is a national movement amongst judges and our opponents who do not appreciate the way marriage has always been and want to redefine not just marriage but the human experience," he says.
A Mason-Dixon poll this month found 55% favor the amendment, but Florida requires 60% to pass ballot measures.
Expected record turnout among blacks and young voters backing Democrat Barack Obama could cut both ways.
Most members of Tampa's African-American Beulah Baptist Institutional Church view gay marriage as "an abomination to God's word," minister W. James Favorite says. He rejects equating the struggle for gay rights with the civil rights movement.
Opponents hope young people, who a Pew Research Center for the People & the Press poll showed are more tolerant of gay marriage, will help their side.
Much hinges on how voters interpret the amendment: "Inasmuch as a marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized."
A similarly worded measure was rejected in Arizona in 2006 amid fears that senior citizens would lose domestic-partner benefits. A version is on the ballot this year without mentioning unmarried couples.
The Census Bureau reports 435,492 unmarried-partner households in Florida. Nearly nine of 10 are heterosexual, says demographer Gary Gates of the Williams Institute. Many are widowed seniors who would lose Social Security or pension benefits if they remarried.
At least 86 companies and government agencies in Florida offer domestic-partner benefits such as health insurance to same-sex and heterosexual couples, says Brad Luna of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay advocacy group.
Backers of Florida's Marriage Protection Act say it would not affect them. Terry Kemple of the Community Issues Council, a conservative Christian group, says domestic partners get few benefits compared with married couples so theirs is not a "substantial equivalent."
Helene Milman, 68, and Wayne Rauen, 59, of Sunrise are convinced that after 25 years together, nine of them as registered domestic partners, the measure will strip them of protections. They are featured in a TV ad paid for by the group Say No to 2.
Milman shudders at the idea that she might have spent five hours alone on a hospital gurney as she awaited breast cancer surgery in 2003. Without his domestic partner I.D. card, Rauen might not have been able to stay by her side. If forced to marry, the widow would lose $13,000 in annual Social Security benefits.
"Why can't they let people live their own lives?" Rauen asks.
Kemple says conservative groups have no plans to challenge domestic partnerships in court.
The state's largest health insurer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, and former Florida secretary of elder affairs Bentley Lipscomb, are among amendment opponents who point to Michigan as a warning. After voters approved a similar amendment there in 2004, the state's high court ruled it unconstitutional for government agencies to provide benefits to the partners of gay employees. Policy changes have allowed some benefits to continue for some employees.
"It should not be called the 'marriage protection act' but the 'domestic partners benefits exclusion act,' " says retired Lutheran pastor John Hayner of Clearwater. "It's mean-spirited."
Interviews reveal support for defining marriage as a union of a man and a woman but concern that the measure may go too far.
Haven Eaton, 61, a Tampa handyman, says he will vote no. "While I may not favor same-sex marriage," he says, "I don't think they ought to be denied benefits available to traditional marriage."

Rock Health: 2017 digital health funding approaching $6B
It has found 2017 to be the record-smashing year for the industry, with the highest amount of venture funding and the most mega deals ($100M+) to date.
It has found 2017 to be the record-smashing year for the industry, with the highest amount of venture funding and the most mega deals ($100M+) to date.
And 16% of the 74 companies funded in the quarter are led by women CEOs, up from 11% at the half-year mark.
This spectacular figure was propelled by the record-shattering second quarter, and a record seven deals over $100M.
Five deals were over $50 million, including PatientsLikeMe, Livongo Health, Alignment Healthcare, Nuna Health and Evariant.
The market has experienced an uptick with 13% TTM growth and almost 50% YoY growth (when compared to Q1 2015); it was also the highest Q1 since 2011.
Rock Health argues that digital biomarkers can extend the collection of population level health data and introduce longitudinal data for individual consumers.
Having a balanced number of men and women on leadership teams allows for a diversified set of opinions and perspectives that impact a company's bottom line.
2015 was a record year for industry consolidation, with M&A activity nearly doubling in volume -- there were 180 deals and $6 billion in disclosed activity.
Under the deal, Rock Health will fund and support digital startups, while Boston Children's will act as clinical advisor to the promising companies.
Respondents were most likely to search for physician (44%) and hospital (33%) reviews, followed by nursing homes (10%) and professional caregivers (7%).

Ginger, the spice that puts a kick in your favorite foods, has been a go-to medicine for eons, being used to treat ailments such as colds, motion sickness, and arthritis pain. Now, it looks like the spice can lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study by researchers from Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd, Iran.
The research team studied 88 people with type 2 diabetes. The volunteers, all of whom had been living with diabetes for at least 10 years, were randomly given either 3 daily one-gram capsules of ginger powder or 3 identical-looking sham capsules, in addition to their regular diabetes meds. Those who took the ginger capsules saw a significant decrease in blood sugar after 8 weeks.

What peacefulness I feel right now as I am watching the sunset. I can only hope that I can grab as much of this peace and take it home with me. Each passing second the sun drops a little more, it takes on new colors and it makes everything in its path take on a slightly golden touch. Moments like these make you reflect on things deep inside of you...
I can hear your quiet whisper,
feel your breath upon my face,
see you painting the sky vibrant colors
you are watching me, holding my hand
catching my tears, loving me.
Oh how your hand only works in magnificent ways
your eyes touch me and leave me wanting more of you
I sit quietly waiting for you
you show up in wondrous ways
you are always working, always moving, always wanting
you seek me and know me
you see my pain and your voice offers healing
you are mine and I am yours
you don't want anything more but me
I am enough for you and you are enough for me
you make me smile and you make me laugh
you place things in my life that I don't even see
you paint pictures in the sky
wash over me with your waves, taking my breath away
you are my dream, my story, my love
You are my God

One of the major critiques thrown at the religious by atheists, is that religious people are not rational. The assumption is that we are simply pure-blooded pie-in-the-sky mystics. The religious attempt to counter these misconceptions by proving just how rational we can be, or how rational it is to have religious belief.
Yet the religious already have a simple and ready-made answer to the question of whether or not we are rational. We have theology.
Now theology, in the broad sense, is the systematic and academic study of the rational justifications for, and proper interpretations of, the doctrines of a religion. Obviously the particulars of theology will adapt to suit the religion in question, and thus just about every major religion will have their own theology. Yet despite all of the disparities that exist between the various religions there is a basic theological method. Just as there is a scientific method which can be used to discern the veracity of any claim in the various different sciences, so also there is a theological method. This method is also basically the same for every religion, just like the scientific method which does not change in form but only in content depending on the object of its focus.
So my aim here is to explain the theological method, show its steps, and ultimately justify its rationality.
The goal of a method
The point of a method is to establish a set of rules which will help guide our inquiry in a way that is structured and logical.
In the first place a method has something that it is trying to establish, prove, or discover. There is some bit of knowledge, wisdom, or even data which the method attempts to investigate. So the method always begins with the question, and the question is always determined by what I want to know.
So for example, consider Rene Descartes' method from his Discourse on Method. Descartes claimed that he had discovered the "true method of arriving at knowledge of all things of which the mind is capable" So the goal of his inquiry was a complete system of well catalogued and categorized knowledge of everything. Descartes wanted a scientific method, scientific in the sense of being a system of all knowledge, which is basically what the term science originally meant.
You could also consider the hypothetico-deductive method from Michael Shermer's A Skeptic's Manifesto. Shermer wants a method whereby we put forward a hypothesis, conjoin it with a statement of initial conditions, deduce a prediction from the two, and finally try to determine if our prediction has been fulfilled. So for Shermer, as for many scientists, we want a method which can make accurate and observable predictions in order to verify an initial hypothesis.
So then what is the goal of the theological method? What is the inquiry which guides the theologian?
The theological method seeks an understanding of the demands, goals, rules, and designs which the divine being or beings have placed upon humans and the universe. In brief, the theological method wants only one simple thing, to know God. Though in practice that is never simple.
The method must be logical
So now we just need to investigate the basic steps of our theological method in order to determine how it works.
Before we begin we should establish only one basic ground rule. All reason-based methodologies must follow the rules of logic. You can have irrational methodologies, however strange that might seem, but if your method is supposed to yield consistent universal results then it must be rational and it must be founded in the principles of logic. In practice this means that your method should avoid any and all logical fallacies, at least in its initial construction. This also means that the ultimate proofs of all reason based methodologies are to be given in terms of logical proofs.
In the most basic sense, what makes the scientific method so remarkable is that it fulfills certain logical requirements. The scientific method is an inductive method of research and that means that its primary goal is to establish the probability of an argument being strong. Strong arguments are backed up by a great deal of evidence. On the other end of the spectrum an inductive argument for which there is very little evidence is quite weak. The strongest arguments meet the total evidence requirement by taking into account all relevant evidence which either proves or disproves the argument. The weakest arguments only meet the minimum evidence requirement by finding at least one fact or bit of data which proves the point.
Thus a strong scientific theory meets the total evidence requirement and will be backed up in as many ways as possible by as many studies as possible. On the other hand a weak theory which can produce only one fact to prove its point is generally what makes for a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theories do involve facts, but they generally leave out far too much relevant data to be taken seriously.
The other basic type of argument is deductive, and deductive arguments prove validity by demonstrating that a conclusion follows with certainty from the evidence based solely on the way in which the argument has been structured.

I am not reporting a bug (yet) - I am only trying to understand the current logic.
Is this original publishing date? It seems not - for some this blog (Navigating Blogger Levels in the New SAP Community) shows as published on 06.12.2016, while it has comments from 10.10.2016:
Is it last publish date after edit?
It is not - here is one of mine, this is the date, when the blog was published for the first time:
The blog was last edited on 23.10.2016, so this is not it.
To me, the most appropriate date would be original publishing date - I don't see a good enough reason to allow blogs reappearing as recent, only because somebody made a minor change.
Was there some technical issue, which caused some of the blog dates to be overwritten?
If I am not mistaken then it is the last published date. Moderators can only publish when after an alert.
If it is the last publish date, then in my blog it should be 23.10.2016 and not 21.11.2016, because on 23.10.2016 I added additional info and published it again. Or is this valid only when a moderator releases content?
The other possible cause could be that Jamie's blog went into moderation because of an alert and had to be released again (strange, considering her blogger level, but not impossible).
if you edit your post then you only see an update button, if I as a moderator release a post then I have a publish button.
Thank you, now it makes some sense... not very transparent to end users, but at least it is logical.

Sustainable eating is the topic of countless blog posts these days, and is being pushed by doctors, environmentalists, social activists, and everyone in the health community. Let me break it down for you. Sustainability refers to living and consuming in such a way that will allow the Earth's resources to continue to effectively provide for our population indefinitely. We must be mindful of the effects that our diets have on the food system and the natural world as a whole. If we claim to respect our planet and wish for continued food security in the future, we must align our actions with these views, in part by making the conscious choice to eat sustainably. Two major components of this are selecting foods that are organic and local. Organic foods are farmed without the use of man-made pesticides, fertilisers, and growth regulators. They typically contain few synthetic additives and no genetically modified ingredients, and undergo minimal processing. This is not to be confused with local food, which is grown relatively close to the point in which it is purchased and consumed. The specific distance is debatable, but many people refer to a 100-mile radius when classifying foods as being local. Many products are both local and organic, however it is important to understand the difference between the two, as they offer slightly different benefits in terms of health and the environment. That being said, here are 3 general reasons why you should eat sustainably to fulfill your responsibility as a global citizen.
- For the environment! Synthetic pesticides contain toxic chemicals that kill bees, birds, and other essential pollinators that allow plant reproduction. We rely on honeybees directly for approximately ⅓ of the food we consume! Not to mention, when soil erodes, these same toxic chemicals enter water bodies and kill aquatic organisms, disrupting ecosystems that we count on for fresh water and food supply.
- For your health! Not only can pesticides and other chemical additives be harmful to the environment, but they can affect your health as well. Many recent studies suggest that they may increase your risk of a variety of health complications, ranging from mental illnesses to cancers. Conventional factory farms often keep large numbers of livestock in close proximity, increasing the chances of disease spreading. Finally, foods that travel long distances from producer to consumer will often decrease in nutritional value during their journey.
- For the taste! Local farmers don't have to worry about increasing shelf life or preventing foods from ripening before they get to their customers. Instead, they can focus on producing food with optimal flavour, knowing that it will reach their consumers almost immediately. When farmers are closely connected to their consumers, they care more about their satisfaction, and this almost always results in better tasting food.

Says Bengal BJP As Violence Claims Its First Victim In Basirhat
Kartik Ghosh, 65, was returning home on a motorbike on Wednesday when he ran into a communal clash triggered by an 'objectionable' Facebook post by a Class X student in North 24 Parganas. Ghosh, a local shop owner, was attacked with knives. He was brought to the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata but died of his stab wounds on Thursday — the first casualty of the violence that has swept the area since a pre-dominantly Muslim mob went on a rampage after the Facebook post.
The Times of India quoted Ghosh's son as saying that he had no links with any political party and got trapped in the clash in Kakra. He was found lying in a pool of blood while his family sought the help of police to take him to a hospital as Basirhat stayed under prohibitory orders.
he report stated that BJP leaders Locket Chatterjee and Jayprakash Majumdar were stopped from entering the hospital. Interestingly, BJP's national secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya told reporters present at the hospital that the deceased was a BJP worker, despite his family claiming otherwise.

This isn't terrifying at all, I swears
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration on Saturday formally proposed to Congress what could become the largest financial bailout in United States history, requesting virtually unfettered authority for the Treasury to buy up to $700 billion in mortgage-related assets from financial institutions based in the United States.
The proposal was stunning for its stark simplicity: less than three pages, it would raise the national debt ceiling to $11.3 trillion. And it would place no restrictions on the administration other than requiring semiannual reports to Congress, allowing the Treasury to buy and resell mortgage debt as it sees fit...
The plan, an ambitious effort to transfer the bad debts of Wall Street into the obligations of American taxpayers, was put forward by the administration late last week, after a series of bold interventions on behalf of ailing private firms seemed unlikely to prevent a crash of world financial markets.
3 comments:
So let's see... if this happens Bush will have nationalized more private assets than Hugo Chavez.
This is also a move to centralize credit into the hands of the State (The fifth plank of the Communist Manifesto).
Liberals may lean socialist but I never thought the neo-con right wing wackos would be wearing red under their sheep costumes.
It is possible that these assets will have some real market value in the future and the tax payer will see capital gain on this "investment". And monkey's might fly out my ass.
So how do I sell a call option on margin for my future tax bill?

And Frank Paulson points out that not a single FDIC insured person has lost a single penny.
Yesterday my banker pointed out that the market broke even for the week so everything is status quo.
What neither of these pinheads realize is that they are only correct because the tax payers (me and you) are giving them $700,000,000,000.00. Seems like my share of that is more than a penny, and more than the market went up this week.
I need some cool-aid.

One scary provision of the bill--it provides that decisions by the Secretary of the Treasury taken pursuant to the act could not be reviewed by any court or any administrative agency. Carte blanche.

so excited
I am finally going to see josh in concert on friday at the wells fargo center in phili. Very excited that my husband and daughter are going to share in that memory with me also. I feel his music speak to me and it inspires me when I decorate my cakes. I was so happy when my daughter said she might sing his song "War at home" at the harvest festival singing contest this fall. Hoping that she follows her dream and finds inspiration in his music as I have through the years!

There are times when I sit down to write, and words flow freely from me, although whether as rushing waters or as searing winds I am not certain. At such times, I am able to produce page after page of balanced, researched prose, or stanza after stanza of occasional verse. (Whether any of it is good is another open question.) I glory in such times; I feel productive in them, and I have been trained by the culture of my upbringing and the culture of academia to regard feeling productive as being the primary indicator of my worth as a human being. It is only in the making that I feel as if I matter, and so I make effort to be making much and often. (Another reason for my maintaining this webspace despite its relatively low readership rate--perhaps thirty daily--presents itself.)
There are times, however, when I sit down to write, and the words will not come. It happens to many if not to all who will place themselves in front of the blank page or screen with the intent to mark upon it in pen or in pixels, that they will find themselves sometimes desirous of writing yet unable to do so. I know that, of course, just as I know that to go onto the mats at a dojo means that I may well find my elbow hyperextended or my toes broken, my nose bloodied or my body bruised, or worse yet. But that knowledge does not mean I enjoy being injured, and the similar knowledge of writing does not mean I enjoy being stymied as I sit with pen in hand or keyboard before me. It should not have to.
Such a time presented itself yesterday. I was able to make my regular comments in this space, but afterwards, when I made to work on a small piece of The Work that has been much on my mind, I was unable to do so with any skill. Part of the shift has to do with my sudden need to read again--I was making use of texts I have on my shelves but which I had not looked at for a while, so I had to refamiliarize myself with them. It takes some time to do so, even for me. More, though, came from simple blockage; I could not get my thoughts together well enough to push them out onto the page. Even after I tried the eureka technique Asimov discusses, going off and doing something else that demanded attention but not too much in the way of deeper thought, I was not able to resume work on The Work as I had meant to do. Whether it came from simple fatigue or from the more complex phenomenon many teachers know of pouring out the self into the tasks of attending to others, it frustrated me--and still frustrates me.
Each day, I rise and sit to write here and elsewhere, and I hope that I will have more of the former kind of day than the latter. The latter is far more frequent than the former, more's the pity.

After lost count of hours, I have finally made the tricycle!! d\(^3^)/b It was quite hard to do as the tricyle that I have included in my concept art there weren't any iamges that were similar to this. So I ended up looking at the structures of the tricycle and how similar would this look to the concept version. There weren't any images of the tricycle taken from the front so I ended up using an image of the back of the tricycle and try to draw the measurements and outlines for the front.

A Fashion Statement
There is no question amongst our children that Our Big Guy is the most industrious. The most loyal and hardest worker. He is bound to be a strong leader, an entrepreneur, or quite possibly an engineer.
Or a whale trainer (according to him).
In the meantime, he is fascinated with the logistics of building, planning, selection of tools, etc.
And he is his father's shadow.
If only I could convince him not to wear white while working.

It's time to decorate these neat Stampin' Up Wooden Blocks. They measure 3 x 3 and are sold in the Holiday Mini-Catalog. I have only decorated 2 sides but when my order comes with some more Christmas DSP I will do the other sides and share. I cut Stampin' Up cardstock 3x3 and lightly adhered to the blocks so when the season is over I can remove it and decorate for the next season!

Le Corbusier, "Towards a New Architecture"
"The problem of the house has not yet been stated. Nevertheless there do exist standards for the dwelling house." (Pg.4)
In the 1920s, Corbusier was sharing his thoughts on the fact that an airplane is a direct response to a certain problem that has been posed- how to expedite travel by sky. Opposite to this is the answer to the problem of dwelling. If we have not yet decided what the collective problem is exactly, how can we possibly think we have an adequate answer.
Shelter: Dwelling
Engineer: Architect
Physical Labor:Mental Labor
Right Angles: Curves
"… intentions which not do speak the language of architecture,… arrive at the illusion of plan." (Pg.5)
This could really play into the "folk art vs. fine art"discussion and bring us to the "Owner Builder Creativity Vs. Architecture." Is a Shack that is lovingly built, the illusion of plan? and Is the building premedidated and designed a proper piece of Architecture?

Kiwi teams win ugly to storm into semifinals
Three of the rugby power's teams are through to the semifinals, showing their ability to win tough and ugly
Melbourne — If the Super Rugby quarterfinals had a collective face, it would be one only a New Zealand mother could love.
Three of the rugby power's teams are through to the semifinals, showing their ability to win tough and ugly, whether in biblical weather conditions or in hostile territory many time zones away.
The reigning champion Hurricanes led off with Friday's grinding 35-16 win over the Brumbies, a team that controversially enjoyed home advantage despite winning six fewer games than their opponents during the regular season.
The Crusaders followed up by slowly choking the Highlanders to death in atrocious conditions in Christchurch, winning 17-0 by the brute force of their forwards.
The Chiefs then made it a perfect three-out-of-three for New Zealand by wearing down the Stormers 17-11 in a dour two-try battle in Cape Town later on Saturday.
"It wasn't pretty," said outgoing coach Dave Rennie, whose departure will be delayed until at least this week's semifinal against the Crusaders in Christchurch.
The Lions make up the final four, having survived a huge scare in beating the Sharks 23-21 at home.
They will play the Hurricanes at home this weekend in a repeat of 2016's title-decider.
Bizarrely, it will be the South Africans' first match against a New Zealand opponent this season due to the competition's quirky scheduling.
The Lions topped the standings at the end of the regular season with a 14-1 record, but belied their top seeding in the playoffs with an error-strewn display against the Sharks.
It took a 55m penalty kick from winger Ruan Combrinck in the final two minutes for the Lions to fall over the line.
Had the ball landed two metres shorter, the Hurricanes might have avoided the long-haul trip to Ellis Park and hosted the Sharks at home.
But the Hurricanes, who thrashed the Lions 20-3 in the home final in 2016 after belting them in Johannesburg 50-17 earlier in the season, fear neither their opponents nor the travel.
"To play the Lions in a packed Ellis Park, I think we'd be pretty stimulated by that," coach Chris Boyd told New Zealand media on Sunday.
The Chiefs, back-to-back champions in 2012-13, may face a bigger test against the New Zealand conference-winning Crusaders, who are desperate to seal an eighth title and first since 2008.
While the driving rain at Rugby League Park played to the Crusaders' strengths, their ability to completely shut down the Highlanders' game will give the Chiefs' staff plenty to think about during the week.
Under Rennie, the Chiefs have matched up well against the Crusaders and won their last three clashes in Christchurch.
The travel could ultimately prove decisive against a confident and relatively fresh opponent, however.
"I thought the [Crusaders'] pack was incredibly dominant and that's going to be a challenge for us," said Rennie.
"But we've got a pretty good pack. We'll make sure we've got clarity and we'll go down there and give it a real crack.
"History counts for bugger-all. In the end, we're going to have to front up. If we do that, then we can get our game going and hopefully nullify theirs," he said.
The Brumbies' loss was the final nail in a dreadful season for the Australian conference which finished with a 0-26 record against New Zealand teams.
Australian rugby has been mired in gloom over the commitment to cull either the Rebels or the Western Force from the competition in 2018 when it contracts to 15 teams.

When we started the practical element I was extremely impressed. Alisha was a very quick learner and a very caring Practitioner. I can't wait to follow her sugaring journey now…as we all know, once certified the learning journey really begins!
Well done Alisha…

like I love Pinterest? What I mean is; do you waste hours of each day looking at all of the cool, amazing, inspiring things that others have made, said, or scrapped? I do. I shouldn't say hours everyday, because that makes it sound like I don't fold laudry at the sake of Pinterest, or I don't scrub toilets at the sake of Pinterest.... fine... you caught me.
But I LOVE Pinterest. I think this was such an amazing idea, because I am sure we have all said, "What a cool idea, I am going to remember to do that." And never do.

I know what you mean! I found pinterest about a year ago, but knew if I started I wouldn't be able to stop. So I put it off until recently when I started pinning. And can't stop. Wow, it's addicting. But SO many amazing ideas!!!
Happy Pinning!

This weekend was a blur, but so fun. Boo and I learned a lot, about each other and life in general.
Did you know that dogs like tomatoes? Well, Koda likes anything, but this weekend he ate an onion, tomato and tried to eat a Habanero pepper ( I got it out of his mouth before he bit down on it)…it was interesting. There were tomato seeds everywhere, I guess he hasn't learned the proper way to eat a tomato yet.
We also figured out that bowling is a dying sport. League started this past Saturday, and there are only 7 lanes of kids, not the normal 12. It is such a great sport, as my old dance teacher called it "very Zen". It takes skill, balance, concentration and athleticism. It is something I hope my kids do for a long time.
Oh, and I CAN make my own tomato sauce. It was great. Well, not great but decent. It needed more spices ( I worried about over seasoning it) and more onion and garlic. But, it did get the nod of approval from Hubby last night.
Having a sore throat and ONLY a sore throat is strange. I have no headache, cough, fever, ear pain, cold symptoms or sinus pressure. Only a sore throat. But is bad enough that today is the first day I have been able to really eat since Sunday. I lost 6 pounds.
Having two days off when you have nothing to do is not really a good thing. I am bored…and my DVR is my best friend. Just saying.
For more What I Learned this Week posts, head on over to Musings of a Housewife.

An old family friend and colleague of my father's and brother's has died. Morris Rosenberg, a former foreign correspondent in Europe and Latin America and lecturer in journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill died of cancer yesterday at the age of 87. A gentle and courtly man, he was a consummate professional with a sharp mind. He leaves his wife Lucie, two daughters and a son-in-law, two grandchildren, a large extended family, and many friends and colleagues.
A local obituary is here.
His Chapel Hill faculty profile is here.

In times of tumbling economies, fears of double dip recessions and falling house prices what better a way to spend your money than on something that not everybody has, something really special. No, not a piece of land or a hole on the moon – or a square foot of the rain forest, which is at least a very commendable start – no, as of September the 29th 2010 you can give your name, or somebody else's, to a heavenly constellation that is this time not a star or group of stars but a system of either high or low pressure moving across the face of Europe!
The perfect gift one could be excused for thinking. Imagine the surprise when your wife of twenty years finds out that instead of buying her those wickedly expensive earrings, that timelessly-elegantly classic cashmere cardigan or those luxuriously soft lamb leather boots which she has always wanted for your china wedding anniversary, you get in touch with the Freie Universität Berlin (Free University of Berlin) and pay 199 euros to have a system of low pressure which brings misery and suffering to whole nations named after her.
And what about Christmas? Don't forget – only 108 days to go. If you feel like digging a little deeper into your pocket this time, you can tack an extra one hundred euros onto your bill by splashing out on a system of high pressure that you have decided to name after one of your family members, which unfortunately does not include the dog, who most families would probably regard as being more than just a trusted companion and faithful friend. Men's names are allowed – and so are women's – but no double names and no company names either.
But just in case you're thinking that this is a hoax, this is where we set you straight. The whole idea of sponsoring systems of low and high pressure across Europe is the brainchild of the meteorologists at Freie Universität Berlin who thought that this would be a good way to generate income for the Institute of Meteorology at their progressively modern university. If you're interested, just go to http://www.met.fu-berlin.de/wetterpate/ and make somebody happy in 2011.
By the way, although the low pressure systems in 2010 all had and will have women's names and the high pressure systems men's, the situation will be reversed in the coming year when the high pressure systems will then be called Brunhilda, Helga or Hannelore and the low pressure systems will be called Hans, Christian – or Eric. This is a result of the pressure put on the met office by women campaigners who went up in arms at the practice established in 1954 of giving high pressure systems which account for gloriously sunny, pleasantly dry weather men's names and low pressure systems, which are responsible for drab, damp and overcast weather, women's.
But if all this talk about high pressure systems and low pressure systems has turned your thoughts to the weather and the effect it could have on your day – sticky, hot weather in the summer, dipping temperatures, cold, crispy days in the winter and wet. rainy weather with high humidity levels the rest of the year round, then you will be pleased to hear that Trotec, the brand name in heating solutions, dehumidification and climate control has just the right heaters, dehumidifiers and air conditioners for you and your own individual application. Just follow the link below and find out for yourself.

Yesterday's accounts of the OECD report Doing Better For Children make disturbing but perhaps not surprising reading for anyone concerned about children and young people's welfare in the UK. Take for example this quote from the report:
"Underage drinking and teenage pregnancy rates [in the UK] are high. Drunkenness is the highest in the OECD. The UK also reports the fourth highest teenage pregnancy rate after Mexico, Turkey and the United States."
Drunkenness is the highest in the OECD. Two personal experiences from last week might help explain the context for these figures. Last Monday I was in Iceland buying some food and at the checkout noticed a display for 75cl bottles of Vodka: Price £5.50p. A little while later I looked at the front page of the local newspaper to discover that Duke's, a Chelmsford town centre night club, was offering punters '£15 all you can drink' nights – pay up front and drink the night away.
What these examples highlight are two factors that must have an impact on consumption of alcohol in this country; availability and cost. Lou Manzi the boss of Duke's justified his pricing and availability policy in the following terms:
"None of us would seriously offer half-priced, discounted or all-in offers if we did not have to. It's a matter of commercial survival like any other retail business."
But the drinks industry is not just like any other retail business; it trades in a substance that can bring enjoyment but can also cause great harm, that is why the industry is regulated and there are laws governing the sale and consumption of alcohol. Don't get me wrong, I am not against alcohol and enjoy a pint or a bottle of wine. I also recognise that there have been times in my life when I have drunk too much and I have seen the damage that alcohol has caused in broken relationships, violence, chronic disease and loss of life. In every parish I have served as a minister I can think of people whose lives were severely damaged if not ruined by drink. I married into a family of doctors and am all too familiar with the impact of alcohol abuse on the resources of the NHS.
Back in the 1970s I had a Saturday job in a Tesco store (in the days before it was seen as part of the evil empire). The drinks section consisted of a small part of one aisle with a few shelves stocked with a small selection of bottles of wine and cans of beer and larger. Today the drinks section in the average superstore takes up both sides of a whole aisle plus various other displays throughout the store. Those same stores have perpetual offers to encourage high volumes of sales, the classic being the 5% discount for 6 or more bottles of wine purchased. A few weeks ago I was shopping in a store and needed to spend over £50 to get a significant discount on petrol. I was a bit under the amount so added another bottle of wine to the shopping only to see the price drop below £50 once the wine discount was added so I added another bottle!
Two other factors to mention. In a bar with a colleague over lunch I observed three businessmen buy a bottle of wine which was then emptied into three large wine glasses. Not only were the glasses large, 250ml each, but the alcoholic content of the wine was high at 14%. I say high but actually 14% is fairly standard these days for a New World red, whereas not long ago 12.5% would have been the average. The same is true of the strength of beer and larger.
Four factors which provide the context for the OECD report: price, availability, volume and content. Yet, the saddest aspect about alcohol consumption in the UK is that so many people, including young people and children, seem to be drinking simply to get drunk and these factors serve that purpose. Why and what response can we make?
Right, I'm off to put the wine I bought on holiday in my cellar!

Fotunately I had my mug in my left hand when I read this. So when
the Mead spat out of my mouth, it went into the mug and not into
the keyboard. I've cleaned a keyboard of beer and wine, but Mead
would be a sticky mess.
A pox upon your house - may your next batch taste somewhere between
Steel Reserve Malt Liquor and Chateau Mad dog and may your next lover
be a New York Yankee fan who drinks T.J. Swan.

Thanks to theater words for sending us this link!
An excerpt from their blog:
If you're like me, old, repurposed theaters both thrill and dismay you. On the one hand, it's exciting to see something familiar in a surprising light (how will they use that mezzanine?!); on the other, it's always a bit sad to see the breeding grounds of art turned into a deli or a shoe store.
That melancholic mixture—half smile, half tear—arrives full bore at the Empire Garden Restaurant in Boston. Known in legitimacy as the Globe Theater or as Loew's Globe Theater, the EGR successfully retains much of its theatrical charm, making a hell of a backdrop for dim sum. Still… it makes a hell of a backdrop for dim sum. Enough said.

It is not true that the English invented cricket as a way of making all other human endeavours look interesting and lively; that was merely an unintended side effect. I don't wish to denigrate a sport that is enjoyed by millions, some of them awake and facing the right way, but it is an odd game.
-Bill Bryson, Down Under (2000)
To an outsider, cricket looks a bit funny. I mean, it is a super long game, seemingly slow paced and the players throwing the ball do a whole lot of strange stuff with their arms. Like a lot of people growing up in a mostly non-cricket playing country, I had formed my opinions of the game on the back of the very few clips I had seen on TV and the many jokes I had heard made by people who probably had about the same exposure to the sport as I did. Then I married an Aussie. You would have thought that would be my entry into the world of cricket fandom but, since he did not grow up playing cricket either, his opinion of the sport was while less deprecative, hardly enthusiastic. I mean, Azerbaijan might have Eurovision, but that is about as Aussie as they get.
As you can imagine, none of this was very helpful when our daughter fell in love with the game. Her first season, I focused my efforts on getting her to the games and bought her a membership to her favourite BBL team. I learned a small bit of cricket terminology, got good at cutting up fruit for tea breaks, and attempted to keep her whites clean. I thought I had this cricket mom thing in the bag, but I still could not figure out why she was staying up way past
my her bedtime to watch these games on TV.
As her season progressed, I was not learning a lot about the game, but something else was becoming clear. If my talented and passionate daughter was to have any chance of playing cricket long term, I was going to have to step up and help out. This sport is still a boy's domain (at least at the junior levels) and the path for girls needs some dedicated maintenance if the players want to find their way to the top. I did not want to become a parking lot parent and I did not want my daughter to give up doing what she loved because she could not see a way to progress. The little moments matter, but simply cutting up fruit this year was not going to be enough. I need to learn all about what makes this a complicated and beautiful (albeit still bloody long) game and I am also going to need to start shoving some doors wide open.
This past weekend I had the brilliant opportunity to head up to Bupa's National Cricket Centre and spend time with some of Australia's top cricketers. Something Holly Ferling said while we were discussing the pathway for girls to rise up the ladder to professional cricket was that "If they can't see it, they can't be it." I feel like we are off to a good start, but let's keep showing our girls the path. Boys can't miss theirs.
Thanks for sticking around this summer with The Unlikely Cricket Mom series here on the blog; I can't wait to share what we created while I was up in Brisbane, but one thing that I can talk about right now is that the spirit of cricket is what shines through brighter than any skills. These women are undoubtedly elite athletes, but they are also smart, kind and funny.
They might call it a "gentleman's sport", but I can tell you that it takes a hell of a woman to play cricket.
