My Life Is A Lifetime Movie Proves That Lifetime Is In On The Joke
Lifetime is a fascinating television network in that it regularly airs programming that most would label "so bad it's good." Because the network occasionally pulls something legitimately good out of its hat, it's often difficult to decide whether the other cheesefests are just failed attempts to make good movies or deliberate disasters which are intended to make their fans laugh. I could write an entire book about the subject, and I probably will one day, but I think I found my answer during the debut of Lifetime's new series My Life is a Lifetime Movie.
The show tells the true stories of real women involved in situations reminiscent of scandalous Lifetime movies. Through interviews with those involved, along with reenactments starring more glamorous-looking people, the show pieces together the events. It's not only the fact that Lifetime made this show in the first place that proves they're in on the joke; it's also the way they depicted these stories. Because the show's premiere told a courtroom drama of sorts, I'll present my evidence like a lawyer would. I've learned everything I know about law from Lifetime, so you'll forgive me if I'm not completely accurate.
Exhibit A: The show features music suggestive of circus tunes, as well as a narrator who is holding back her giggles harder than Bill Hader playing Stefon on Saturday Night Live.
Exhibit B: The quality of the reenactments can be summed up by describing one scene. One of the stories in the premiere involves a teacher accused of having sex with her student. There is a reenactment in which the student sits in the teacher's classroom for detention, staring at her. The camera moves up the teacher's body while intense rock music plays and the student licks his lips. That's all you need to know to understand how Lifetime retells these true stories. They're even cornier than the network's Saturday night movies, if you can believe it.
Exhibit C: Lifetime managed to coax the most ridiculous commentary out of their talking heads. During the teacher/student sex story, viewers could invent a drinking game around the use of the terms "doggie style" and "DTF." At one point a juror explains why she initially thought the teacher was guilty of sleeping with her student: "She's pretty. It happens." The teacher says the following about the way the jurors interpreted her case: "They knew it was kind of big and juicy." Michael Scott called, and he has a comeback ready. Watching the interviews was like watching Jon Oliver interview politicians on The Daily Show, when he gets them to say idiotic things and paint themselves into corners. Where's Lifetime's Emmy monopoly?
Exhibit D: Lifetime came up with a few tie-ins to promote the series. Along with the Someecards like the one above, which adeptly points out why a lot of us watch Lifetime movies, the network also created a Facebook app letting viewers create their own Lifetime movie, as well as a sweepstakes asking viewers to title their personal Lifetime movie to win $1,000. This shows Lifetime has a sense of humor about itself, which I couldn't be giddier to discover. They even placed a disclaimer at the beginning of the show warning viewers that the content may be inappropriate for some, and it "might make you think twice about the people in your life." Touché, Lifetime.
Exhibit E: I can't believe I didn't piece this together before, but Lifetime has been giving me clues for weeks that they're in on the joke that is Lifetime. They showed a movie with a snarky screenplay, aired a flick practically about irony (which is what I use to watch Lifetime), and made a pretty good movie to throw me off the scent. I've got you all figured out, Lifetime.
And now for my closing arguments.
So basically it turns out that Lifetime has been making fun of the people whose lives inspire Lifetime movies, and in turn I make fun of the movies the network makes. Then people comment making fun of my mocking comments, and people comment on their comments mocking them, and on and on. It's like Inception.
Verdict: In order to carry on the Circle of Life(time), I'll continue to make fun of the network on a regular basis, but now I know that I'm laughing with them, not at them.

Legacy and Jumping-Jacks in Monett
The passing of Jerry McCaffrey this week reminds us to be thankful for the army of people who provided America with Jumping-Jacks shoes, Monett's first manufacturing export of national and international significance.
Few small towns can boast of the local product known for more than 50 years as a standard of excellence. Jumping-Jacks shoes were loved by those who wore them and those who made them. The work force in Monett was the envy of garment makers for their skill and production capacity.
McCaffrey was one of many in the Jumping-Jacks organization, but an important one. In his 50-year career with the company, he rose to chief executive officer, playing a key role through the transition years when the shoe maker went through different owners while fighting to preserve local jobs.
Jumping-Jacks represented one of Monett's great success stories with a sad ending, fading away, like other American garment makers, in the pressure of cheaper overseas imports. Like the railroad, market and technology changes altered the landscape and took away a major local employer.
McCaffrey not only fought the good fight. Monettans expected service from their captains of industry. McCaffrey did his part, serving for years on the Monett Chamber of Commerce board of directors, three terms on the R-1 Board of Education and decades on the UMB Bank board.
Often these jobs provide no glamour or reward. Those who do them offer their best ideas for dealing with the crisis of the hour. McCaffrey was there, pitching in. His often gruff manner may have disguised his true feelings, but when it came to backing service projects and his people, it was widely recognized you could count on Jerry McCaffrey.
Monettans have had big expectations for their leaders. Remarkably, those who have come to Monett and those raised here converged to a mutual set of values. Jerry McCaffrey was one of many who understood the Monett spirit of giving, and believing that giving is rewarded by giving in return.
McCaffrey played a big part in the glue that made Jumping-Jacks a family. Believing in the mission and each other was a company goal and a community goal. One fed off the other. The idea beats the heart of Monett to this day.
We salute Jerry McCaffrey for the part he played. The legacy of excellence and public service are trademarks Monett loves to wear, and can claim because of people like him.

Two of our chickens were "Turkens." Turkens are chickens who have no feathers on their neck.
"Tom," was the rooster and "Prissy" was the hen."
About two weeks after we got them Tom disappeared. We found feathers from Tom at the fence and knew that he had been killed by a coyote or raccoon or something. We were heart broken.
Poor Prissy searched and searched for him.
A few days later she laid an egg and started sitting on it. It was only one egg, and we were pretty sure it was not fertile since Tom had been gone for days.....but she continued to take care of her egg so we just let her be.
This morning.... Bud found a chick, dead, in the nest and one crushed egg shell.
We could not find Prissy and thought maybe she had "flown the coop" after her chick was born dead.
About thirty minutes later Bud heard "cheeping" that sounded like a baby chick. He ran out front and found a baby chick in our pond!
Our one eyed cat, Lucy,
was heading for the pond, attracted by the sound, and Prissy came out fighting!! She charged Lucy and ran her back.
Bud grabbed the chick out of the pond before it drowned and called me out to see it.
Now there was only one egg in Prissys' nest. And there was one dead chick. We could not figure out where the chick came from so we brought him inside to try to dry him off and figure out what was going on.
I took a couple of pics of this wet little guy under the Christmas tree and then we took the chick up so our two year old grandson, Joe, could see it.
Joe was fascinated and remembers seeing me release rescued birds. Anytime he sees a bird he will hold his palm up and point to it with his other hand....thinking the bird should come to his hand.
He even gave the little chick a kiss.
He was a little nervous at first....
....but we finally were able to convince him that he could hold it in his hand.
He was thrilled!!
Then we took the chick back downstairs and set him/her on the ground where he started "cheep cheep cheeping."
Another hen started toward us and we figured maybe it was her chick. But then Prissy came up the hill toward the sound of the cheeping and the chick ran straight to her!!
They turned and went back over the hill and Prissy started scratching around in the leaves showing her chick how to search for food.
After doing some research tonight guess what we found out!!!! The chick was a TWIN!!!!!!!!!!! It is VERY RARE!!!!!
Like I said...there was only one egg in the nest. Bud found the crushed shell this morning and a dead chick. There was only ONE shell.
It is possible for two chicks to come from a double yolked egg. So that is the ONLY explanation. Most of the time neither chick survives. There is not usually enough room in the egg for either of them to create enough momentum to crack the shell. So this little guy is a REAL rare kid.
We are calling him "Elvis," since Elvis had a twin that died at birth too.
Our little Christmas miracle!!!
Have a great Christmas and watch for those miracles!!!! They happen every day!!!

Survey responses are reflected in program profiles on EdFind, ASHA's searchable online resource for students looking for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral CSD programs. Only profiles of programs that complete the survey will be updated. EdFind ranks as one of the most visited pages on the ASHA website and is the top-viewed page on mobile devices. More than 300 academic institutions received the invitation to provide key data on CSD education, including information on applications, admissions, enrollment, graduation rate and graduates' first employment. Survey data form the basis of national and state aggregate reports published by ASHA and the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders. The reports present national and state information on the CSD personnel pipeline, including the number of students enrolled in each type of program (bachelor's, master's, and research or clinical doctorate). Last year, 88 percent of the institutions contributed valuable data by completing the survey for academic year 2012–2013. Reports from that survey are available at on.asha.org/ed-survey-data.

Developers say the game was created to make blockchain technology more popular, and CryptoKitties has raked in $3.5 million, now accounting for 11 percent of Ethereum's transactions.

That's helped store food, charge mobile phones and make other everyday activities accessible for the displaced and disconnected Syrians. Meanwhile, the push toward renewable energy in Jordan has freed up $7 million annually that the U.N. can now divert to other lifesaving services for Syrian refugees. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

Longtime Metter televangelist Michael Guido, known for his "Seeds from the Sower" sermonettes, died Saturday night at Candler County Hospital.
He was 94.
"We appreciate the outpouring of love and support from the people of Georgia," Guido's brother, Larry Guido, said Sunday. "Michael was always grateful he lived in Georgia and made this his home and the center of his ministry."
Michael Guido had been hospitalized numerous times since January with complications of pneumonia and diabetes. He began receiving hospice care earlier this week after doctors told him there was nothing more they could do, Larry Guido said. Michael Guido is survived by his wife, Audrey, 87, who struggles with Alzheimer's disease.
For 50 years, Michael Guido was known by Christians worldwide as a televangelist whose wholesome radio, TV and newspaper sermonettes promoted hard work, the Golden Rule and faith in a loving God.
Guido first came to Metter in 1943 as a young singer. He met and later married his wife, Audrey Guido.
They attended the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and traveled the world as he preached throughout the 1940s and '50s.
In 1957, Audrey was hospitalized after a car accident. During her stay, the Guidos noticed a lack of Christian radio programming and took it as a sign they should start their own.
They established the nonprofit Guido Evangelistic Association and depended on prayer to supply their needs. He frequently told supporters that whenever he needed anything, he would "ask the Lord for it, and he supplies all our needs."
The strategy seemed to work. While Metter civic and business leaders provided land for the ministry, other wealthy supporters from around the nation donated thousands of dollars toward a studio and a home for the Guidos.
The Metter Advertiser once quoted Guido saying: "None of this is mine. My wife and I own only our clothes. The studio, land and facilities belong to the association. I have a wealthy father."
For 50 years, Guido recorded and wrote sermons and short meditations, offering them for free to newspapers and TV and radio stations. Although Guido's reach spread across the nation - and into pockets of other countries - south Georgia residents remember him for his warm presence.
Guido's death represents "a tremendous loss for us, in a multitude of ways," said Metter Mayor Billy Trapnell.
"His presence and his ministry has had just a wonderful relationship with Metter and Candler County," Trapnell said. "It's been a great pleasure for me to have individuals visit the city and comment how his radio and television programs made a difference in their lives."
Nan Williams of Candler County Emergency Medical Services said Guido often counseled workers struggling through grief and loss.
"Several years ago, we had an employee dying from breast cancer," Williams said. "He prayed for us and her on this journey and helped put our hearts back together after she died."
Savannah businessman Jim Bulluck recalled taking the Metter exit during one of his many drives to Macon to seek prayer with Guido: "I dropped in without an appointment and Michael, in his gracious manner, agreed to meet with me on the spot," Bullock said.
In 2007, supporters and Metter residents had a 50th anniversary celebration of the Guidos' ministry. Guido used the event to officially turn over management of the association to his then 71-year-old brother, Larry.
Friend John Stillwell predicted at the event that though Guido would be less involved in the business of the association, "the sower" would never stop working for his ministry.
"When Michael retires," Stillwell said, "it'll be his memorial service."

Month: January 2008
Constipated Kitty
So we still don't have a definite on what's causing Trouble to have her "senior moments" where she spaces out and lets the dogs sniff her, but the vet thinks she knows why the cat is walking funny: X-rays have revealed that Trouble is a bit, um, backed up, including with what looks like a large hairball. So she's now on medication to take care of that. The first day, the meds seemed to make her more uncomfortable–she was meowing quite a lot–but today she's purring again and eating a bit more food, and there are a couple of hard-looking deposits in the bank, if you know what I mean. (And you do.) No hairball yet though.
Maybe the rat was stealing oatmeal so she could brew up a nice bowl to help keep the kitty regular …
It's A Little Windy
So here in sunny California, something has been happening lately … I think it's called "weather" and I vaguely remember it from when we lived in New York. For once, we can't blame the destruction on Dennis. Unless ……..

I do not submit claims to insurance companies; rather, I accept payment of my $150/hour fee by cash, check, or credit card. If you choose to submit a receipts to your insurance company for reimbursement, I am happy to provide the information required.
In order for sessions to be reimbursed by an insurance company, one member of the couple or family will require a mental health diagnosis. Because much of the work done here is relational in nature, we believe diagnosing an individual simply for the purpose of insurance reimbursement is inappropriate. Moreover, insurance companies may also require additional clinical information, such as treatment plans or summaries, or copies of your entire clinical record. You must also be aware that submitting a mental health invoice for reimbursement carries a certain amount of risk to confidentiality, privacy, or future capacity to obtain health or life insurance, or even a job. The risk stems from the fact that mental health information is likely to be entered into insurance companies' computers, and is likely to be reported to the National Medical Data Bank. Accessibility to companies' computers or to the National Medical Data Bank database is always in question as computers are inherently vulnerable to hacking and unauthorized access. Medical data has also been reported to have been legally accessed by law enforcement and other agencies, which also puts you in a vulnerable position.
Second, by utilizing your health insurance plan you are agreeing to the mandates that health insurance imposes on what is considered acceptable treatment including the length of treatment. Many plans require authorization before they provide reimbursement for mental health services.
Some insurance companies will reimburse you if you submit a claim stating that you saw an out-of-network provider. Please check with your insurance company to see what is involved in getting such a reimbursement.
If you miss an appointment without providing at least 24 hours notice, you will be billed the full fee for that session.

|Approaching the End: Eschatological Reflections on Church, Politics, and Life
In this book Stanley Hauerwas explores the significance of eschatological reflection for helping the church negotiate the contemporary world.
In Part One, "Theological Matters," Hauerwas directly addresses his understanding of the eschatological character of the Christian faith.
In Part Two, "Church and Politics," he deals with the political reality of the church in light of the end, addressing such issues as the divided character of the church, the imperative of Christian unity, and the necessary practice of sacrifice. End, for Hauerwas, has a double meaning -- both chronological end and end in the sense of "aim" or "goal."
In Part Three, "Life and Death," Hauerwas moves from theology and the church as a whole to focusing on how individual Christians should live in light of eschatology. What does an eschatological approach to life tell us about how to understand suffering, how to form habits of virtue, and how to die?
|Without Apology: Sermons for Christ's Church
Sermons from one of the country's best-known theologians 17 sermons, from "Saints" and "Letting Go," to "Recognizing Jesus/Seeing Salvation" and "Clothe Your Ministers in Righteousness" Two bonus presentations on "Leadership" and "An Open Letter to
Christians Beginning College" in the appendix.
| War and the American Difference: Theological Reflections on Violence and National Identity
How are American identity and America's presence in the world shaped by war, and what does God have to do with it? Esteemed theologian Stanley Hauerwas helps readers reflect theologically on war, church, justice, and nonviolence in this compelling volume, exploring issues such as how America depends on war for its identity, how war affects the soul of a nation, the sacrifices that war entails, and why war is considered "necessary," especially in America. He also examines the views of nonviolence held by Martin Luther King Jr. and C. S. Lewis, how Jesus constitutes the justice of God, and the relationship between congregational ministry and Christian formation in America.
|Working with Words: On Learning to Speak Christian
| Christian Existence Today: Essays on Church, World, and Living in Between
Stanley Hauerwas begins this volume with a vigorous response to the charge of sectarianism leveled against his work by James Gustafson, among others. "Show me where I am wrong about God, Jesus, the limits of liberalism, the nature of the virtues, or the doctrine of the church," Hauerwas replies to his critics, "but do not shortcut that task by calling me a sectarian." The essays that follow explore in a lucid, compelling, firm, and provocative way the church's nature, message, and ministry in the world. Hauerwas writes on the church as God's new language, on clerical character, on the pastor as prophet, on the ministry of the local congregation, on grace and public virtue, and on the relation of church and university. Underlying Hauerwas's argument is his conviction that "the most important knowledge Christian convictions involve, and there is much worth knowing for which Christians have no special claim, requires a transformation of the self. Christianity is no 'world view,' not a form of primitive metaphysics, that can be assessed in comparison to alternative 'world views.' Rather, Christians are people who remain convinced that the truthfulness of their beliefs must be demonstrated in their lives. There is a sense in which Christian convictions are self-referential, but the reference is not to propositions but to lives."
| Cross-Shattered Church: Reclaiming the Theological Heart of Preaching
In this work, eminent theologian Stanley Hauerwas shows how the sermon is the best context for doing good theology. He writes, "I am convinced that the recovery of the sermon as the context for theological reflection is crucial if Christians are to negotiate the world in which we find ourselves." The book includes seventeen sermons preached by Hauerwas, which he considers his best theological work and hopes exemplify the work of theology. The sermons are divided into four sections: seeing, saying, living, and events. Titles range from Believing Is Seeing and Was It Fitting for Jesus to Die on the Cross? to Only Fear Can Drive Out Fear and To Be Made Human. Each sermon includes where and when it was preached and references relevant Scripture passages.
I have increasingly come to the recognition that one of the most satisfying contexts for doing the work of theology is in sermons. That should not be surprising because throughout Christian history, at least until recently, the sermon was one of the primary places in which the work of theology was done. For the work of theology is first and foremost to exposit scripture. That modern theology has become less and less scriptural, that modern theology has often tried to appear as a form of philosophy, is but an indication of its alienation from its proper work. I am, therefore, making these sermons available because I think they are not only my best theological work, but because I hope they exemplify the work of theology.
| Living Gently in a Violent World: The Prophetic Witness of Weakness (Resources for Reconciliation)
How are Christians to live in a violent and wounded world? Rather than contending for privilege by wielding power and authority, we can witness prophetically from a position of weakness. The church has much to learn from an often overlooked community--those with disabilities.
In this fascinating book, theologian Stanley Hauerwas collaborates with Jean Vanier, founder of the worldwide L'Arche communities. For many years, Hauerwas has reflected on the lives of people with disability, the political significance of community, and how the experience of disability addresses the weaknesses and failures of liberal society. And L'Arche provides a unique model of inclusive community that is underpinned by a deep spirituality and theology. Together, Vanier and Hauerwas carefully explore the contours of a countercultural community that embodies a different way of being and witnesses to a new order--one marked by radical forms of gentleness, peacemaking and faithfulness.
| Christianity, Democracy, and the Radical Ordinary: Conversations Between a Radical Democrat and a Christian (Theopolitical Visions)
In Christianity, Democracy, and the Radical Ordinary, theologian Stanley Hauerwas and political theorist Romand Coles reflect about possibilities and practices of radical democracy and radical ecclesia that take form in the textures of relational care for the radical ordinary. They seek to shift political and theological imaginations beyond the limits of contemporary political formations (such as global capitalism, the mega-state, and empire), which they argue are based upon both the denial and production of death.
Hauerwas and Coles call us to a revolutionary politics of wild patience that seeks transformation through attentive practices of listening, relationship-building, and a careful tending to places, common goods, and diverse possibilities for flourishing. Both authors translate back and forth across--as well as dwell in the tensions between--the languages of radical democracy and of trial, cross, and resurrection. Engaging each other through a variety of genres--from essays, to letters, to cowriting and dialogue--Hauerwas and Coles seek to enact a politics that is evangelical in its radical receptivity across strange differences and that cultivates power in relation to vulnerability.
The authors argue that there is a strong relation between hope and imagination, as well as between imagination and the encounter with and memory of those who have lived with receptive generosity toward the radical ordinary. Hence, throughout this book they think extensively in relation to specific lives and practices: from Ella Baker and the early Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee organizing efforts for beloved community and civil rights, to L'Arche communities founded by Jean Vanier, to contemporary faith-based radical democratic organizing efforts in dozens of cities by the Industrial Areas Foundation. Pushing and pulling each other into new and insightful journeys of political imagination, this conversation between a radical Christian and a radical democratic trickster spurs us toward a politics that acknowledges, tends to, and enacts the powers of the radical ordinary.
| Cross-Shattered Christ: Meditations on the Seven Last Words
In Cross-Shattered Christ, theologian Stanley Hauerwas offers a moving reflection on Jesus's final words from the cross. This small and powerful volume is theologically poignant and steeped in humility. Hauerwas's pithy discussion opens our ears to the language of Scripture while opening our hearts to a truer vision of God. Touching in original and surprising ways on subjects such as praying the Psalms and our need to be remembered by Jesus, Hauerwas emphasizes Christ's humanity as well as the sheer "differentness" of God. Ideal for personal devotion during Lent and throughout the year, Cross-Shattered Christ offers a transformative reading of Jesus's words that goes directly to the heart of the gospel.
|Disrupting Time Sermons Prayers and Sundries
| Performing the Faith: Bonhoeffer and the Practice of Nonviolence
September 11, Afghanistan, Iraq--more than ever, this is a time for the church to be taking up the question of what, as Christians, our response to violence should be. In Performing the Faith, Stanley Hauerwas revisits the familiar territory of political nonviolence through discussion of the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer-Christian ethicist, theologian, and by some definitions, martyr. This book is an intriguing commentary on Bonhoeffer's bold claim that if our common life rests on lies and injustice, we cannot be a community of peace. Pastors, seminarians, and those interested in Christian ethics are among the many who will be interested in this new word from an unwavering, faithful voice.
| The Peaceable Kingdom: A Primer in Christian Ethics
In this classic work, Stanley Hauerwas presents an overall introduction to the themes and method that have distinguished his vision of Christian ethics. Rather than survey ethical thinkers or quandaries he develops one straightforward account of a Christian ethic, systematically displaying ideas introduced in his previous works and emphasizing peaceableness as a hallmark of Christian life. This new edition includes an extensive Postscript in which Hauerwas discusses how he regards The Peaceable Kingdom twenty years after it was first published.
|Prayers Plainly Spoken
| Christian Existence Today: Essays on Church, World, and Living in Between
Stanley Hauerwas begins this volume with a vigorous response to the charge of sectarianism leveled against his work by James Gustafson, among others. "Show me where I am wrong about God, Jesus, the limits of liberalism, the nature of the virtues, or the doctrine of the church," Hauerwas replies to his critics, "but do not shortcut that task by calling me a sectarian."
The essays that follow explore in a lucid, compelling, firm, and provocative way the church's nature, message, and ministry in the world.

Rather, Christians are people who remain convinced that the truthfulness of their beliefs must be demonstrated in their lives. There is a sense in which Christian convictions are self-referential, but the reference is not to propositions but to lives."
| With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural Theology
Stanley Hauerwas is a no-nonsense, confessional Christian theologian whose scholarship, sometimes disputed yet always demanding a response, has earned him a prominent reputation on the theological horizon. This fall, Brazos Press is proud to present With the Grain of the Universe: The Church's Witness and Natural Theology, Hauerwas's distinguished Gifford lectures at the University of St. Andrews (2001).Reviews
These lectures explore how natural theology, divorced from a confessional doctrine of God, inevitably distorts our understanding of God's character and the world in which we live. Hauerwas criticizes those who use natural theology to defend theism as the philosophical prerequisite to confessional claims. Instead, after Karl Barth, he argues that natural theology should witness to "the non-Godforsakeness of the world, even under the conditions of sin."
Stanley Hauerwas has good news for the church: theology can still tell us something significant about the way things are. In fact, the church is more than a social institution, and the cross of Christ, never peripheral, is central to knowing God. Whatever our native moral intelligence, the truth that is God is not available apart from moral transformation. Ultimately-and despite the scars left by modernity-theology must translate into a life transformed by confession and the witness of the church.
| The Hauerwas Reader
Stanley Hauerwas is one of the most widely read and oft-cited theologians writing today. A prolific lecturer and author, he has been at the forefront of key developments in contemporary theology, ranging from narrative theology to the "recovery of virtue." Yet despite his prominence and the esteem reserved for his thought, his work has never before been collected in a single volume that provides a sense of the totality of his vision.
The editors of The Hauerwas Reader, therefore, have compiled and edited a volume that represents all the different periods and phases of Hauerwas's work. Highlighting both his constructive goals and penchant for polemic, the collection reflects the enormous variety of subjects he has engaged, the different genres in which he has written, and the diverse audiences he has addressed. It offers Hauerwas on ethics, virtue, medicine, and suffering; on euthanasia, abortion, and sexuality; and on war in relation to Catholic and Protestant thought. His essays on the role of religion in liberal democracies, the place of the family in capitalist societies, the inseparability of Christianity and Judaism, and on many other topics are included as well.
Perhaps more than any other author writing on religious topics today, Hauerwas speaks across lines of religious traditions, appealing to Methodists, Jews, Anabaptists or Mennonites, Catholics, Episcopalians, and others.
| Sanctify Them in the Truth
Stanley Hauerwas has long argued against one of the hallmark assumptions of modernity: that the truth of the gospel can be discovered apart from its embodiment in specific communities of faith, and the habits, virtues, and commitments that define those communities. In this new volume, Hauerwas reminds us that for Christians there is no such thing as truth that is not embodied truth. The Christian life, he argues, is not about being in possession of "the truth," defined as a set of timeless and universal principles of belief and action. Rather, it is about learning and living the life of truthfulness toward God and one another. In other words, sanctification and truth - which stood together so naturally in Jesus' prayer in John 17 - have come unglued in the modern world. Drawing on a wide variety of sources and insights, including his own background in the Wesleyan tradition, Hauerwas sketches a blueprint of how the contemporary church must rejoin the two if it is to remain faithful to its calling.Reviews
| Christians Among the Virtues: Theological Conversations With Ancient and Modern Ethics
Christians among the Virtues investigates the distinctiveness of virtues as illuminated by Christian practice, using a discussion of Aristotle's ethics together with the work of significant contemporary scholars such as Alasdair MacIntyre and Martha Nussbaum. Hauerwas and Pinches converse with, learn from, and also critically engage powerful and explicitly non-Christian accounts of virtue and then form a specifically Christian account of certain key virtues, including obedience, hope, courage, and patience. This book will deepen the current public debate about virtue by showing how different traditions and practices yield distinctive understandings of the virtues, and by articulating the particularity of virtues informed by Christian practice.Reviews
| Wilderness Wanderings (Radical Traditions)
"Wilderness Wanderings" slashes through the tangled undergrowth which Christianity in America has become, to clear a space for those to whom theology still matters. Hauerwas engages, often quite critically, with the thought of major theological and philosophical figures, such as Reinhold Niebuhr, Martha Nussbaum, Jeff Stout, Tristram Engelhardt, Iris Murdoch, John Mibank and Martin Luther King. These interrogations shed light on why theology must reclaim its own politics and ethics.
| A Better Hope: Resources for a Church Confronting Capitalism, Democracy, and Postmodernity
When Hauerwas says he included the last essay in this collection "just for the hell of it," he also announces what some will see as the book's overall organizing principle. In occasional pieces that range from personal appreciations of friends who have influenced his work to extended considerations of Walter Rauschenbusch and John Howard Yoder to biting critiques of an influential Vatican II statement on religious freedom (Dignitatis Humanae Personae) and of the United Methodist Church's Commission for the Study of Homosexuality, from which he resigned, Hauerwas picks plenty of fights. All the while, he also advocates pacifism, keeps capitalism and postmodernism in his sights, and insists that the church's task isn't to make America better but to be the ordinary, everyday church. He hopes this will be read as a hopeful book. Whether that hope is well founded remains to be seen. But he is nothing if not entertaining, and readers who have come to expect sparks to fly whenever he writes will not be disappointed. [Steven Schroeder, Booklist]
| In Good Company: The Church As Polis
"I don't know of another American theologian who can have you laughing out loud while at the same tin you're licking the wounds he has inflicted. It is not Hauerwas's criticism that is the dominant note in this work, but his notion of church as living community, called -- and called to account -- by Christ. That then informs and braces every selection in this lively collection, and gives the reader the sort of workover one doesn't experience often enough when reading contemporary theology". -- Patrick Jordan, Commonw With this new collection of essays, celebrated theologian Stanley Hauerwas attempts to foment a modest revolution by forcing Christians to take themselves more serious as Christians and to recognize the unifying beliefs and practices characteristic of their faith -- a faith that makes them a political entity apart from the re of the world. By exposing a different account of politics -- the church polis and "counter-story" to the world's politics -- Hauerwas helps Christians see that in fact God has given them the mean to escape the destructive practices of the world by placing them "in good company" with one another, Catholic and Protestant alike.Reviews
| Dispatches from the Front: Theological Engagements with the Secular
These seemingly disparate essays are united by Hauerwas' concern for "the actual practices of forgiveness and reconciliation and how and why they require a community that is eschatologically shaped." If that quotation is quite a mouthful, well, Hauerwas is an academic theologian, member of a tribe not known for easy prose. Nevertheless, broadly schooled Christians and others may be enthralled by his discriminating considerations of the virtues of the gentleman in the novels of Anthony Trollope; of the relationship between forgiveness and truthfulness as exemplified in Anne Tyler's Saint Maybe; of the problems of the coexistence of Christianity and liberal democracy; of nonviolence as not a theory about the ethics of war but the polity of Christianity; of the moral superiority, re military service, of gays as a group compared with Christians as a group; and of how compassion as a liberal virtue paradoxically perpetrates cruelty. Persistent throughout the book are deep skepticism about the compatibility of Christianity and liberalism, also Hauerwas' particular fanaticism: "I want . . . to convince everyone who calls himself or herself a Christian that being a Christian means that one must be nonviolent." Challenging, sometimes difficult reading, animated by saving grace. Ray Olson

In this challenging, controversial volume, Stanley Hauerwas asserts that both liberal (historical-critical) and fundamentalist (literal) approaches to biblical scholarship have corrupted our use of the Bible--especially in preaching--in the American churc
| Against the Nations: War and Survival in a Liberal Society
"Against the Nations" is Stanley Hauerwas's most wideranging and sustained effort to develop a uniquely Christian ethic. The book moves from such general themes as "Keeping Theological Ethics Theological" and "Keeping Theological Ethics Imaginative" to the application of these themes to such diverse topics as the Holocaust, Jonestown, the reality of the Kingdom, the reality of the Church, the democratic state, nuclear war, and disarmament.

The Canadian Securities Administrators recently released their 2014 Enforcement Report, which provides a summary of the enforcement actions undertaken by CSA members over the past year.
According to the report, CSA member staff initiated 105 proceedings in 2014, involving 189 individuals and 92 companies. The most common offences for which proceedings were commenced included charges of illegal distribution, fraud, market manipulation and misconduct by registrants.
CSA member staff also concluded 105 cases against 149 individuals and 106 companies in 2014. About $58.2 million in fines and administrative penalties were ordered, in addition to about $65.7 million in restitution.ĀThe report also provides highlights of specific cases.
Of particular interest, while the number of cases concluded in respect of illegal distributions dropped from 220 in 2013 to 122 in 2014, the fines and penalties imposed in those types of cases rose from just under $17 million to $17.6 million (although the amount of restitution and compensation dropped by about $7 million to about $12.7 million).ĀAlso notable was the fact that courts in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec imposed jail terms for five individuals last year for cases involving fraud and illegal distributions.

The Plateau Aboriginals By: Ahmed Khalil Here is a symbol of the Plateau first nations people! FOOD food! Here are some of the animals the Plateau people kill. White-tailed deer are the most common animals they can kill. Here are some animals not as common as the White-tailed dear. Grizzly bear, Black bear, Fox, Coyote, Mountain sheep, Elk, Raccoon, Weasels, ETC. The plateau people did not only eat animals they also needed wild fruits/vegetables such as Raspberry's, and sackatoon berries WEAPONS & TOOLS MAP! Plateau people used various weapons and tools. They had more tools than weapons. Now let me tell you some of the weapons they used. The Plateau people used a Ktunaxa dipper (ladle) for serving food, root digging stick, fish hooks, Ktunaxa fish trap, three-pronged spear, and a hide scraper. Those are some of the most valuable tools and weapons the Plateau people use. clothing! The clothing of the Plateau people was fascinating. Here are some of the clothing. First of all we have the Nlaka pamux ceremonial headdress but here's a fun fact Plateau people have multiple ceremonial headdress. Now then lets carry on. They also wore beaded necklaces, beaded moccasins, woman's deer skin dress, leather mittens, fur poncho, leather & deer skin moccasins, fur cape & woven nlaka pamux cape one is for men and one is for women, nlaka pamux leather leggings & grass leggings, and much much more but I only told you the one's you guy's might of not have heard of. WEAPONS AND TOOLS CLOTHING! BELIEFS AND CEREMONIES The Plateau people held ceremonies throughout the whole year to mark special occasions. One important time of the year for the Plateau people is the beginning of spring because that is when the Salmon come out and when new berry bushes come out so they can have more food then winter time. The ceremonies had a lot of dancing and music to summon religious powers to them, but it was mainly singing and instruments such as the bird-bone flutes, rattles (deer hooves), sticks, striking boards, and hide covered wooden drums.Every year all of the plateau tribes which are the Okanagan, Nlaka`pamux, Secwepemc, and the Stl`atl`imx, tribes held what was called "The Winter Guardian Spirit dance' hosted by the Shaman.This dance had to be done for seven days straight for the sick to be healed and it was how they communicated with the spirit world. Now the Ktunaxa tribe who lived close to the Plains people also held a sun dance like the Plains people.The sun dance involved singing, dancing, fasting, and spiritual visions. BELIEFS & CEREMONIES OTHER COOL FACTS! 1. For carvings the Plateau people used stone, bone, and antlers. The carvings usually an animal such as the Bears, Birds, and human figures. 2. Some natural resources were stone, wood, leaves, water, and dirt. 3. The Plateau women had many hobbies one of them was weaving the things they weaved were baskets, mats, and bags. COOL FACTS!

The shelter of the Plateau was not very complicated the shelter they would have is a Tipi or a Cave they find in the mountain and the only reason it would be hard to take down because they are nomadic so in the winter they would have to add layers which would be harder to take down and put up again and the caves would be found in the mountin in my opinion a cave would be better to live in then a small tipi. Transportation! The Plateau people only used 2 ways to travel one of the ways was by canoe and the other was walking they would use canoes when it is Spring or Summer they would walk which was much harder in the winter on the mountains.

Rhys Wakefield and Ashley Hinshaw in "+1"
If you could relive a moment all over again--say, reversing something you wish you hadn't or maybe enjoying the best moment of your life--would you? Now say you could have that moment back, but there was the problem of a pesky second you about to relive the same moment as you. What would you do?
"I'd probably have him do all of the chores I wouldn't want to do," Actor Rhys Wakefield tells me.
Wakefield's character David in this week's new release "+1" has somewhat more ambitious aims with his own double, attempting to salvage a damaged relationship with his girlfriend Jill (Ashley Hinshaw) as a bizarre time loop has David, his friends, and an ever-increasing number of duplicates at a massive house party experiencing the same moments over and over in the same night.
"It was pretty difficult, actually--trying to contextualizing where the character was and what version of that character was there." Wakefield says that during film, it was a challenge tracking where his character was emotionally (depending on which iteration it was) in the Bill Gullo screenplay (based on a story by director Dennis Iliadis). Wakefield confesses to huddling together with the script and continuity supervisors attempting to track his character's progression in the film, which twists and bends the POV of the characters as their duplicates increase (and the time loop gets shorter and shorter).
David has such a dramatic arc throughout the course of "+1," that the lovelorn guy we meet in the beginning is almost unrecognizable from the young man who takes drastic measures to get what he wants. Wakefield allows that David is very selfish throughout the film, but that as an actor, he needed to find something sympathetic about him. "It was a hard balance to find that, to make him feel compassionate" Wakefield says about David's trajectory throughout the film. "I guess the thing was to make it clear that he was doing everything out of love." He says that David's love was "naive and blind," that the character, in the context of the increasingly crazy night and that "whether it was right or wrong, he was doing the best thing he thought he could possibly do."
Watch: "+1" Red-Band 'Body Buffet' Clip
Earlier this year, Wakefield was also in the home invasion thriller, "The Purge" as one of the well-dressed and anonymous lunatics looking to commit a murder on the one night all crime is legal.Wakefield says he's surprised by the success of "The Purge," which is getting a sequel. "Somehow it seems to tap into some part of the zeitgeist that I had no clue that it would." Describing the film as "sort of sick and sadistic," he says "The Purge" has a "sort of weird and apocalyptic vibe where you're in control of what you want." He chuckles saying it was so fun to play a psychopath in the film, working alongside stars Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey.
He's got a theory that the audience for "The Purge" liked that idea of being able to "take control" in his words--there's something very compelling in both "The Purge" and "+1" about being able to let loose and pretend as though consequences don't exist for a night. "I guess both films, a major theme is hedonism," Wakefield says. "Everyone's so hedonistic and will do whatever they need to do to get what they want and whatever they feel they need."
Next up, Wakefield is working on the film "A Relative Stranger" for director Kane Senes as well as the dark romantic drama "Endless Love" with co-stars Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde.
"+1" is out in theaters this week.

Mark Critz (D)
Mark Critz was born and raised in Irwin, Pa., and now resides in Johnstown. He earned a bachelor's degree in management information systems from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1987.
Critz worked on campaigns for Democratic Rep. John Murtha, joining Murtha's office in 2001 as a district aide and eventually becoming district director before Murtha died in February 2010.
Critz won the special election three months later to fill the remainder of his boss' term.
Critz is a member of the Johnstown Oldtimers Baseball Association, an organization that holds the city's annual All-American Amateur Baseball Association tournament.
He and his wife, Nancy, have a son and daughter who are twins.
Mark Critz is facing his third congressional election in less than three years.
Critz won a special election in March 2010 for the seat previously held by Democratic Rep. John Murtha, who died in February 2010 from complications after gallbladder surgery. Critz had been an aide to Murtha.
In November 2012, Critz faces Republican Keith Rothfus for Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District seat.
In the April 2012 Democratic primary, Critz was forced to run against another incumbent in a district redrawn by state Republican lawmakers following the 2010 census. He defeated U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire, who formally endorsed Critz in May 2012.
Altmire and Critz both boasted of helping small businesses and advocating for veterans' affairs. Both were criticized by unions for voting against the 2010 health care reform package.
Rothfus narrowly lost to Altmire in 2010, 49 percent to 51 percent, but that was in a race for the former 4th District, which includes more conservative suburbs north of Pittsburgh.
As such, it would appear Rothfus might have more trouble campaigning in the newly-drawn 12th District, especially in the Johnstown end of the district that's long been a Murtha, and now Critz, stronghold.
Critz said he opposed the version of the 2010 health care reform bill passed by Congress, though he said he would not support a repeal.
In 2010, Critz largely ran on Murtha's record, which centered on his key role on the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, which enabled Murtha to deliver defense contracts and jobs to businesses in his blue-collar district, where a highway, airport and medical center are named for Murtha.
On the legislative front, Critz has been heavily involved in efforts to keep President Barack Obama's administration from closing two key federal facilities in western Pennsylvania.
Critz has been part of a bipartisan coalition that, so far, has kept the Defense Department from closing the 911th Airlift Wing near Pittsburgh. The Defense Department recently agreed to reconsider the issue in 2013.
Critz wasn't so fortunate when it came to the National Drug Intelligence Center in Johnstown, which Congress voted to close in November 2011.
Murtha fought to bring the center to his hometown in 1993, even though critics from both parties argued its work was duplicated in other agencies.
NDIC once had more than 300 employees and contract personnel, but had fewer than 200 when it was closed in June 2012 over Critz's objections.
Critz has stated that he will fight to protect domestic jobs by ending tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and reform trade bills that endanger American jobs.

Eight flag officers, including Rear Adm. Kevin Quinn Commander, Naval Surface Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet; Rear Adm. Mike Shatynski, Vice Commander, Naval Surface Forces; and more than 40 Pacific Fleet commanders attended the event, which focused on current manning challenges, maintenance initiatives, and the training continuum and how these matters impact the execution of the Maritime Strategy.
"Our surface force is serving at the tip of the spear and your leadership is what makes it happen. My job is to ensure you and your crews are warfighting ready," said Curtis in his opening remarks.
Adm. Robert F. Willard Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, speaking by way of videotaped message, emphasized that "Surface Warfare is the heart of the Navy! SWOs should take pride and reflect upon the significant contributions that surface ships are making globally." Willard also underscored a present need for credible leadership, which is fostered by the values and standards that we uphold.
The agenda aimed to support the conference objectives, which were to discuss leadership, mentorship, and resource saving initiatives with the ultimate goal of collecting feedback sufficient to improve overall Warfighting Readiness. Subjects inspiring particular discussion included 3M, Surface Programs, CRO/CLASSRON contributions, CMC/FORCM leadership, and the fiscal environment. These conferences provide SWO Flags and their staffs direct waterfront engagement and facilitate CO to CO networking-products that yield the greatest return on investment.
"To be able to get together and talk about surface warfare issues with community leaders is invaluable," said Capt. Jon Padfield, Commodore, Amphibious Squadron Three. "We've got so many people spread across so many places doing different missions, it's imperative that we gather and focus on the priorities Vice Adm. Curtis has in mind."
The mission of SURFOR is to ensure that surface ships of the Pacific Fleet are properly manned, trained, and equipped to support global military operations. SURFOR is composed of 162 ships supporting operational commanders throughout the world.

Siarhei Skrabets Really Concerned about Kazulin's Health
On October 16 Siarhei Skrabets, former MP and member of Respublika parliamentary group, held a press conference. Yesterday night he was released from Vitsba-3 prison.
Siarhei Skrabets was sentenced to 2.5 years of jail on February 14. He was accused of loan fraud.
Mr. Skrebets pointed out that he held the press-conference on request from his friend, former presidential candidate Alexander Kazulin. Siarhei Skrabets confirmed that Kazulin continued the hunger-strike and makes the following demands:
n real unification of the pro-democratic forces in Belarus;
n putting the Belarus issue on the agenda of the UN Security Council.
Kazulin refused to lie in a sanitary ward. Unfortunately, he doesn't trust the jail doctors. Siarhei Skrabets is concerned about the fact that the prison administration might force Kazulin out of the hunger-strike by introduction of liquid food and medicine dropper. Moreover, that the prison guards claimed they had such an experience. Such actions may lead to death. "I am seriously concerned about his life", -- Siarhei Skrabets told the journalists. According to him, there is a new wave of information blockade in our country.
This becomes especially evident in jail:
I lived in rather good conditions until Kazulin was imprisoned. When they brought Kazulin to the jail, they began to treat us both worse. They introduced a strict regime. The only radio I could listen to was RFE/RL. Letters from freedom were delayed. I don't know if all my letters were received. There is no way to check that. No one is responsible for that. One can always blame the post service. What can I said, if his wife and lawyer can't visit him?
Iryna Kazulina also participated in the press conference. She brought a blanket to her husband but the prison administration refused to accept it claiming they had no right to do that. Allegedly, the prisoners receive all bedding from the prison. Kazulin received only working clothes from his wife.
Siarhei Skrabets believes, Kazulin will be in prison as long as the president wishes. There is no way to hope for certain privileges.

Here's my confession: My name is Adam, and I'm a perfectionist.
(Hi, Adam.)
On some days, perfectionism still manages to get the better of me. And so I won't blog. Or work on my book proposal. Or pitch a story. Instead, I'll procrastinate. I'll check Twitter. I'll read and envy the work of others. Because frankly those things are easier to do—and have more predictable outcomes—than opening up a blank page and wrestling with incompleteness and imperfection.
On my better days, though, those when I open that blank page and slide my fingers over keys, it's because I'm thinking more about practicing than perfecting.
I came across this brilliant anecdote back in 2012, while reading Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking, a great little book by David Bayles & Ted Orland. In it, Bayles and Orland tell the story of a ceramics teacher who, on the first day of class, announced he would be dividing students into two groups: Students on the left, who would be graded for the quantity of work, and students on the right, who would be graded for the quality of their work.
His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the "quantity" group: fifty pounds of pots rated an "A", forty pounds rated a "B", and so on. Those being graded on "quality," however, needed to produce only one pot—albeit a perfect one—to get an "A".
Who do you expect made the best pots? Surely those students creating under the burden of perfectionism, right? Wrong:
[Come] grading time…a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while "quantity" group was busily churning out piles of work—and learning from their mistakes—the "quality" group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.
Those students who focused on churning through a volume of work, rather perfecting a small bit of it, made better pots.
Make More Pots
For me, this counterintuitive anecdote keeps me focused on hustling. The quantity of our output more than the quality of our output. It's frustrating, sure, but freeing in a way, too. Sarah Lewis captures this tension well in her book The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure and the Search for Mastery. "Trying to bridge the gap between work and vision," she writes, "can be like hearing the notes to a song without being able to finish hearing the complete tune."
I often wonder if our greatest artists and performers are also the people who have the greatest capacity to exist in that tension between their vision for their work and their actual work product—who are resilient enough to suffer the daily disappointment of hearing the notes without being able to marvel at the complete tune.
William Faulkner said it this way: "Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but that's the only way you can do anything really good."
How do you beat perfectionism? How do you improve your craft? It's simple: Go and make more pots.
