1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-7)
I am so glad to continue with you through God's Word, and particularly to begin chapter 2 of 1 Timothy. Paul in chapter 2 begins to instruct Timothy and each of us who are Christians how to live among people who may not be like us. What I mean by that is we live with people all around us who are not like us. You may say, "Nobody is like me!" In a sense you are correct. God is very creative, isn't He? We are all different for sure. But what I mean by people being different all around us is people who do not share our faith, who do not share our view of how the world operates, how God has ordered things. People outside of the Christian faith live under different assumptions than we do, they do not share our worldview. And so we are called to sometimes live in difficult circumstances simply because our view of things is different than many other people's views.
As we think about this, that is the Christian's worldview being different than the non-Christian's worldview, the reality is that we are the ones who have changed. We were all born with a sinful heart. We call this the sin nature of man. Our nature coming into this world was one of sin. We were bent toward sin. When Adam willingly sinned in the Garden of Eden we became the recipients of his new nature. We were not born holy, we were born sinful, I mean in our nature. This is true of all people since Adam except for Jesus Christ. So if our worldview has become more in line with what is pleasing to God, then somewhere along the road we were changed, because we weren't born that way.
And so there are very significant differences in how Christians and non-Christians process all of what is going on around us. We have different ideas of what is good and what is evil, of what should be done in our world and what should be stopped. Our agenda is first and foremost the glory of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. We are here for Him, to live for Him. He died for us so that we who live no longer live for ourselves but for Him who for us died and rose again.
We saw from 1 Timothy 1 that Timothy was charged with standing up to false teachers with truth. His situation was likened to a battle or a war, and Timothy was to wage the good warfare, spiritually speaking, with those who would oppose the truth, God's truth. This waging of the good war was not just to put down those false teachers but also to protect fellow believers and would-be believers from damning philosophies that would lead them astray.
If we are going to live for Christ in this world, our world, then we must be willing, able, and ready to fight the good fight, which is spiritual warfare that is around us. So how do we do that? What is included in spiritual warfare? Where do we start? How do we do battle, spiritually, in a world that so often opposes us? This is what Paul is now getting to with Timothy. Where do we start when we recognize troubles around us?
Here is where we begin: "First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people" We start with prayer. We start with a sincere acknowledgement that we are weak and He is strong. So we prepare for spiritual warfare by admitting our weakness. This may seem a bit counter intuitive. This is though an aspect of prayer. If we can do it all, if we are strong enough to make things happen, then why would we need to pray? Prayer takes the battle off of our shoulders and lays it at the feet of Jesus. I know for me, it is way too often that I skip the prayer and go into a situation that I think I can handle on my own, many times because it is a familiar situation, and arrogantly I step in only to find myself inadequate to do the job.
I mean, why are we commanded to "pray without ceasing" in 1 Thessalonians 5:17? Or when Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12, "To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ." When Paul thinks of people around him who need resolve to do their good work, who need power and faith, when he thinks of people around him who need to walk with the Lord so that they can glorify Him, what does he do? He prays. He calls upon the Lord to be their strength, to sustain them, to carry them through their trials.
This is a matter of seeing everyone involved in a realistic way. It is putting God at the center of all activity and not ourselves. It is seeing God as the one who can act perfectly, and not just act in a way that effects the outer, seen activities in a situation, but as the one who is able to penetrate even the hearts of those involved.
I am afraid that too often in our feelings of desperation we act on our own to fix things instead of going to the Lord in prayer, acknowledging that He alone has the power for real change in people's, including us, in all people's inner man – the mind, the heart.
Prayer is hugely important. And so first of all Paul urges Timothy and us to pray. I love the image of prayer being done on one's knees. The image of a person being down on their knees in prayer. It is similar to bowing in prayer, even just bowing our heads in prayer. The imagery is of one admitting their inferior status to one who is supremely superior. Kneeling, bowing before royalty, in our case to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, to the one who spoke the universe into being and who sustains all things. Our Lord is strong, He is able for and strong for any of our battles. He is the almighty King, our Lord. In Revelation 19 we get a picture of who He is and what He is capable of…
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. (Revelation 19:11-16)
He is capable of battle, and He is the same God that we call upon in prayer, in our troubles. This is the God to whom we pray.
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people (1 Timothy 1:1)
Paul urges prayer. He describes four types of prayer. The first three can be seen as synonymous, but there are subtle differences in them.
First, Paul urges supplications. This comes from a Greek word that means "to lack" or "to be without something." So this kind of prayer recognizes needs. We are a needy people, in need of God and His provision. People around us are needy people also, in need of God's gracious provision. For some the need is salvation, they are in need of grace, saving grace. For others there is a need for more of God and of His Spirit. As Christians, we are all to be going after God in a more meaningful, complete way. If we are going to grow up as believers then we are in great need of His Spirit to work in us.
Many times we may find ourselves praying for someone who does not think they have a need, those who have not recognized a need for Christ. But that is okay, I mean okay as far as what we do…we can pray. Again, this sets our minds right regarding God, ourselves, and others. God is the primary doer and can act and do as He pleases, we are His servants calling on Him, not on ourselves, calling on Him to supply a need, and other people, they may or may not be aware of their need, but that does not keep us from calling on God and desiring what is good in their life. Our hope is not based on what someone else wants or does not want, but our hope is in God who will work out His perfect will. We are to make supplications as we pray.
Paul next uses a word that is translated "prayers." The word here is the most general type of prayer and it is used in the Bible as only in reference to God. The Greek word behind this English word is how we most often use the word prayer. Prayer for us is to God, always directed to God. We may talk to others, but we don't pray to others. Prayer is uniquely directed to God.
Then Paul says "intercessions." You could also say here "petitions." This word is only used in 1 Timothy. Here in our passage today and also in chapter 4 verse 5. It is to speak to someone on behalf of someone else. It is like making a request for someone else, and often times to someone in authority. We may intercede for our children with their teacher or your boss may intercede for you where you work. This, in fact, is what the Holy Spirit does for us as God's children. He goes to the Father for us!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. (Romans 8:26)
And in Hebrews 7 we see Christ also interceding for us!
Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25)
I think this may be hard for many of us to grasp, that the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ are speaking to God the Father on our behalf. I mean, the Trinity speaks of each one of us, speaks about you and me! They know your name and talk about you! There is a holy intercession going on about you and about me. Think about this. Think about this truth of intercession. To intercede for someone we have to know them. We have to know their situation. We need to understand what is going on in his or her life, right? We are known by Jesus, we are known by the Holy Spirit and we are also known by God. They all know us well and therefore are in the best possible place to intercede for us.
And as we get to know each other and each other's situations and needs, we too get to intercede, we too go to God in prayer and make our requests for each other. I am thankful for the many of you who intercede in prayer for me!
Paul then adds thanksgiving. All of our prayers to God should be given with a spirit of gratefulness. The fact that we can go before the Father in prayer, any prayer, should lead us to thanksgiving. We have access to God! Access to the one who can reach the lost, who can change hearts, who can move mountains, who can provide abundantly. We pray to the one who hears, who knows, who acts, and who loves us dearly. All of this is reason for gratefulness, reason to pray with a spirit of thanksgiving.
Now, all of this prayer that we are to do…for whom are we to pray? Paul says "for all people."
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people (1 Timothy 1:1)
Paul says to pray for all people. This is such a great statement of truth from God, but it can also be a difficult one. We may tend to keep our circle of prayer rather small. Maybe the extent of our prayers deal with ourselves and our immediate family. Maybe it branches out a bit to our church family and some neighbors, co-workers perhaps. But I wonder if we are not neglecting the aspect of prayer when it comes to how broadly we pray for others in this world. Jesus even said in Matthew 5:44, "But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
Our prayer life can be expanded! Let me give you some examples. Do we pray for the radical faction of Muslim terrorists around our world? They need Christ. They need a radical change in their hearts, they are on a road to destruction and have believed lies. Do we pray for them? What about those fleeing Syria? Some are fleeing real persecution, some, maybe we don't know their motives. But either way do we pray for them? Do we pray for those who are suffering and do we pray for those who may have evil intent for leaving Syria? How about Assad who is in Syria? Do we pray for his salvation? What about all those who are pouring across our border to the South? Again, we don't know all of their intentions, I am not making a statement here saying it is okay to enter our country illegaly, because it's not, but I am saying these are people groups for whom we can pray. We can pray for their salvation. How about abortion providers? Do we pray for them, do we pray that they will repent and be a part of our family in Christ?
There are so many who need Christ…drug traffickers, gang members, human traffickers, all need Christ. And what about those who suffer under the hands of evil? We can pray for them. Our military personnel and emergency responders. They live stress-filled lives as God uses them to keep us safe. Are we praying for them?
There are groups of people all around facing tremendous challenges, some self-inflicted and others maybe not, but all need Christ. How can we help them? We can start by praying. Praying that God will open blind eyes to spiritual truth, praying for God's mercy for their hard hearts, praying that God's peace and protection will surround them and they will see God as the source of their lives and necessary for their well-being.
When Paul says to pray for all men, all people, let's stretch our thinking and let our prayers go beyond even those that we know.
Within Paul's call to prayer, he gets a little more specific with these words: "for kings and all who are in high positions,"
Out of all the different groups or categories of people, Paul chooses to mention kings and all who are in high positions. Maybe he does this because people may have a tendency not to pray for government leaders. And maybe the church in Ephesus neglected praying for those over them, those who ruled over them because of who was ruling over them. This was not a peaceful or easy time for Christians in Ephesus. The one ruling over them in their government was tyrannical and even evil. And since their leader was evil the people may have, rather than praying for him, they may have just complained about him. The emperor at this time was a man named Nero. Nero was cruel, he was a blasphemer, he hated Christians. He was also a persecutor of Christians. There may have even been some in the church who hated Nero so much that they perhaps didn't even desire that Nero be saved. Maybe like Jonah who lamented over the fact that the people of Nineveh repented of their sins. Jonah wanted to see them judged rather than see them repent and turn to God. You know, we can get that way with people. We can become so angry with other people that we would rather they be cursed and judged and destroyed rather than see them turn to God in repentance.
But the church was to move past those feelings of bitterness and anger and do what? Pray for Nero. Even to do good for him if they had opportunity. God is clear about how we should think about government officials and even that they are put there by God Himself.
1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. (Romans 13:1-5)
Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. (1 Peter 2:17)
Our duty is to pray for those over us, pray for their salvation, pray for repentance.
Paul does mention a benefit of praying for our leaders, and it is more even than that they might be saved. He writes, "that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way." This is an interesting part of our passage. Paul is hoping that Christians will or can lead a peaceful and quiet life. Now remember, they were not in good favor with the government, and Paul of all people had many struggles with ruling authorities. He was no stranger to arrest and imprisonment. But when Paul says a quiet life, I don't think this means an easy or sheltered life. Paul is not hoping for ease in the first century. He never avoided conflict by suppressing God's truth. He knew, of all people, that persecution would happen for those who were serious about living godly lives. So what does he mean by praying that they may lead a peaceful and quiet life? What he seems to mean here is that they would enjoy a certain freedom from the turmoil that threatened to thwart gospel ministry. A quiet life for him would be a life where he was free from hindrances to gospel ministry.
And then he adds, "godly and dignified in every way." This godliness and a dignified life would be a life that reflected our Lord. A life that gave the world a real look into Christianity.
We are called to be different. Christians are called to be different. Our lives are to reflect our Savior. This means living in conflict in this world. We are not of the world. This conflict is to lead us to prayer. Sincere prayer in which we can call upon our God to save the lost who are His enemies, prayers that He will have mercy on them just as He has had mercy on us. Those prayers should be broad, should reach all kinds of people groups; everyone needs Christ. It should include our leaders in our country. And perhaps even more freedom to share and spread the truth. We can pray that the message of Christ will go out, will be allowed by those in charge, and will enable us to be vocal about our faith. And all the while, living lives, not just speaking, but living lives that are godly and are dignified and that rightly represent who we have become in Christ. Our fellow man needs to know and see truth, see the love of Christ in us and our concern for them.
Fight the good fight, wage the good warfare with prayer!
1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. (1 Timothy 2:1-2)

Video: Microsoft teases us with sneak peek at new Xbox One dashboard
A new video from Microsoft's Major Nelson shows off some of the features of the new Xbox One dashboard ahead of its release next week.
With just over a week to go until the Xbox One sees its first major dashboard overhaul since its launch back in November 2013, gamers are eager to learn exactly what lies in wait for them - and thanks to a new video posted by Larry Hryb, better known to the Xbox world as Major Nelson, they can take a sneak peak at some of the new functionality.
Launching worldwide on November 12, the update will make some major changes to the way players interact with their Xbox One consoles, completely overhauling the previous user interface and replacing it with a much more attactive and intuitive experience.
A new focus on vertical scrolling is among the most obvious changes, with players able to make better use of their displays than ever before, and developers able to engage users with additional content right from the dashboard.
Another huge addition for gamers is the rolling out of Xbox 360 game compatibility alongside the update. Starting on November 12, players will be able to enjoy many of their favourite Xbox 360 titles simply by popping in the disc and hitting play.
Those who have purchased compatible titles digitally for their Xbox 360s will also be able to get in on the action, which even includes online multiplayer and some of the Xbox One's more advanced features, such as game recording and streaming.
A new community section promises to engage users in all new ways, while also providing an insight into the activities of your friends at all times while they're using their Xbox One consoles.
One area of the revamp that we're particularly excited to check out is the reworking of the Store. While the current version is passable, it's nowhere near as user friendly as it could be, often making it difficult to locate the titles or add-ons you're looking for.
To get an advance look at what you can expect from the update, take a look at the video below.

'10 the year of the mobile web
Have you ever seen a cat do one of those really long wonderful stretches after a good nap? Well that's how I'm feeling now after having the last three weeks virtually off the computer as we worked on our condo in Seattle over the holidays. Of course being in the US nobody wants to give you Internet access just for three weeks, it's all about signing the contract…everyone wants to lock you in to long term deals….very frustrating! That and the fact that now wireless router companies sell their routers defaulted to be secure rather than unsecured leaves very few open networks to leach off of for a couple weeks. 🙂 So we checked e-mail only when we needed a coffee. What frustrated us the most though was how much we were use to using my iPhone or cell phones in general to get around, to find things, to get directions, basically to live. Only being in the US for three weeks I didn't want to have to pay $70 plus a $30 activation fee for my iPhone…that's just a lot of money. So I decided I could do without it for three weeks…….well….not sure that was the right move either (Just for comparison…in Thailand that same connection for three weeks would have cost me about $50 total depending how much I used the web). My favorite story came when I went to drop my wife off at Pike's Place Market to do a little shopping. The plan was simple, I would drop her off, find a place to park and then call her and we'd meet up. Simple except for the fact that I didn't have a cell phone. Of course this hit us only as she's getting out of the car. So there we sat in the middle of the road, two highly educated people trying to figure out how to meet up without both of us having a cell phone. I ended up dropping her off, not parking but rather driving around for 15 minutes and then picking her up again in the same spot. Of course we could have planned this but sitting in the middle of 1st Ave on a Saturday near Pike's Place is…well…pressure. 🙂 Then of course there were the countless times we needed directions somewhere and had no way of finding out the best route our even which direction we should...Read More

Don't Forget Self-Care and Boundaries
When you are trying something new, it can take a lot of time and energy out of your life.
You're constantly pushing forward to get to the next step, meet a milestone, or raise awareness for your brand or something you're working on. Many of us in these situations tend to be considered workaholics (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!).
We are all constantly working on something, whether it's a job, multiple jobs, or various involvements. We are constantly putting our best foot forward. We exemplify "Grit". A lot of this is what is needed to get us where we want to go or to move past a roadblock. The important part during all of this work, time, and effort - learning how to make being a workaholic not a bad thing.
Self-care and boundaries.
And… unfortunately, self-care is often the first thing to go. Boundaries might also be thought about too late. Between long hours, sleep can sometimes be sparse, friends and family barely hear from us, and we might push things we enjoy doing (not saying we don't enjoy work!) to the side. We're always available no matter what. We keep telling ourselves "later".
After this deadline. After this milestone. After this meeting. After this year.
You'll eventually reach a point in your life where you realize there is always something next on your horizon (if you haven't already)- something that you want to work on or accomplish.
It's in your nature. You might not be able to help it.
If self-care is forgotten, that's when things like burn-out or even not being as productive as you could be, come into play. Many of us learn the hard way but with proactive self-care and boundaries, that doesn't have to be the case!
If you reach a breaking point, it takes a lot more time (and self-care) to get back to your grove.
Self-care is important in so many ways. You might not think you have the time, but there are ways to help give you more time.
- Balance social media
- Ask for help
- Find ways to get organized online and in writing
- And many more!
It's hard to set boundaries later on once you've already made yourself always available. Set those boundaries early. Take vacations. Enjoy some evenings. Enjoy some weekends. You don't always have to pick up the phone or answer email when you are not supposed to be working. It really will be okay to wait.
In the end, self-care and boundaries can save you time. Take the time to visit with friends and family. Try to make sure you have an off switch so that you can spend time doing things you enjoy - things that make you happy.
When you aren't in the office or working, try to turn it all off, and focus on where you are in the moment (maybe you're like me and ideas pop up - write them down/send an email to yourself quickly.- but not from your work account). Take time off. Set boundaries.
It might take time to make sure you practice self-care and set boundaries, but the investment does pay off in the long run.
A happier person tends to be a more productive person.
You don't want to get burned out on the things you love- including the work you love.

Luckily, I was the one who scouted Taylor and placed her with her first modelling agency in Toronto. Besides the obviously natural beauty she posseses, this young model has an incredible personality and great aura. Definitely worth watching this girl as all signs point to success. The interview sheds some light on her personality and can be read here.

Tucked inside the Causeway Centre on the Harbour Road overpass is this little treasure for lovers of the European way of life. FRITES is by now a well-known family of bars and restaurants around Hong Kong, but each location has its own quirks and characteristics. Here in Wan Chai, this mecca for Belgian beer and delicious food feels more like a semi-classy getaway than a boisterous bar, maybe because it has the right mix of hospitality and quality to attract crowds from Wan Chai's less...sophisticated watering holes for a touch of something a bit more sanitary. Still, at its heart FRITES is a sociable place, as full with cheer as their large handles are full of frothy Belgian ales – over 80 to choose from, actually. Popular especially during its loosely labelled 'happy hour' (3-8pm) on weekdays, FRITES is always buzzing but you'll see why once you cosy up with a beer and tuck into some of their amazing food (we recommend a bucket of mussels for the full Belgian immersion).
Food sounds delicious?
Get a table before they're gone
Kiva ravintola ja henkilökunta. Tykkään, olen käynyt usein. Sinisimpukat kaupungin parhaat. Kasarimusa tuo kivoja muistoja mieleen nuoruudesta. Ollaan käyty eri-ikäisten ihmisten kanssa, poikkeuksetta hyvin pidetty paikka.
Great food and service. Would recommend it. Although they did get a little upset when we asked to split the bill on four credit cards

The Ladies of 'The Talk'
Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne and Julie Chen stopped by to promote their CBS talk show, "The Talk." Sara said she created the show just inches from her toilet: "I guess so. I was sitting in the bathtub, really." Howard wasted little time asking if Sara, an out-of-the-closet lesbian, had ever slept with a man, and while she didn't want to get into specific, Sarah confessed that she had: "Clearly it made an impact." She now dates famed pop songwriter Linda Perry.

As our guests know, we have just ten rooms here, and all of them are very distinctive and differently designed. Though all are equally luxurious.
We never sit back, though, and assume that a well-loved room will look as good next season. We've been working our way through the hotel on a continuing programme of decoration and refurbishment, and these last few weeks we've had the builders into one of our own favourites.
Favourite? Well, the Windermere Room is named after our local lake. Yes, England's biggest and most popular lake, but it's "ours", it's just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, and you can see it from some of our windows.
The Windermere is one of our larger rooms, and is in the older part of the building. We think it was originally the master bedroom of the house, with some stained glass and a window seat looking down on the front lawn and out towards the magnificent Cedar Tree that gives its name to the hotel.
The builders are an entertaining bunch, working for local firm Tony Dixon Builders. They've even been posting photos of their lunches and snacks on social media when they've had leftovers from our haute-cuisine kitchen. No wonder they enjoy working here.
We believe in supporting local businesses and the local economy. Our furniture is all hand-crafted at Lakeland Fells just down the road at the other end of the town. And of course all our designing is done by the inspired and talented Alison Tordoff at Fidget Design who never fails to come up with something new and exciting.
We hope you'll be impressed. Browse a few photos of how Windermere is looking or check out ALL our rooms. We know you'll find one that you love.

Cranberry Goat Cheese Dip
Tart cranberries and creamy goat cheese combine to form the perfect dip for your Thanksgiving meal (or anytime!). Serve this dip up in a roasted acorn squash to ensure a photo-worthy presentation!
Bongiorno from Cortina d'Ampezzo! By my estimates *looks at watch I don't have*, Thanksgiving is tomorrow which means that if you're back in the States you've probably been planning your dinner party menu for weeks now, and I bet you've already started in on some dishes.
However, I implore you - no matter how many appetizers and sides you have planned, throwing in this Cranberry Goat Cheese Dip will be certain to please any crowd! (Except maybe those weirdos out there who don't like goat cheese, to which I say, more for me!) That's right, Nana's sweet potato casserole* might be the talk of the town, but everyone will be singing a new tune when you bring this beautiful, creamy dip out to play.
*This Sweet Potato Streusel Casserole recipe IS dope though and I highly recommend it!
Also - if you're wondering why this is inside an acorn squash - then I have a return question for you. Why not?! Acorn squash are delicious, seasonal and healthy, the presentation is beautiful, and I had an acorn squash I needed to use before I went to Italy. Priorities. But like, why should Panera bread bowls have all the fun?
So, pals - make this dip (if not for your meal, at least to spread on your morning bagel in place of cream cheese!), get on your stretchy pants, and if you're in need of another side, may I recommend these all-time fave Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes? Because you can never get enough goat cheese.
Cranberry Goat Cheese Dip
To make this dip, you will need:
- 4 oz cranberry-coated goat cheese (Trader Joe's for the win!!)
- 4 oz plain goat cheese
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce of your choice (fresh preferred, but you can always use the standby can if that's more your speed)
- Toppings, as desired - I think walnuts, scallions or pomegranate arils would be great additions!
- 1 acorn squash, halved, for serving
Ok y'all, making this dip could not be more simple. All you're going to do is combine your goat cheeses and cranberry sauce and mix well! You can alter the amount of cranberry sauce to taste, depending on how thick (thicc?) you like your dips.
To roast your acorn squash, preheat your oven to 400F. Then simply halve your squash, brush it in olive oil, and throw into the oven for 20 minutes. Once time is up, flip the halves over and bake for 15-20 more minutes until fork tender. Easy peasy!
Spoon your dip into one half of the acorn squash and arrange it on a serving plate with whatever dippers you like - crackers, pita chips, pretzel crisps, even veggie slices would be phenomenal!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! May it be a wonderful day spent with loved ones, and maybe also in a food coma on your uncle's couch watching football. I'll be back Friday with some Italian food porn for you!

text: Forgiveness is not an excuse to be weak when it comes to justice. As you forgive and reduce your anger, try to exercise justice from that context. In other words, with reduced anger, ask what is fair. If you do not forgive and then forge ahead with a quest for justice, you might ask for too much because of your anger. In other words, when you forgive you may end up with an even better quest for justice than would have been the case without forgiveness.

Maverix Metals Inc (CVE:MMX) told investors Thursday it had closed its previously announced acquisition of a silver stream on the operating Moss mine in northwest Arizona, USA.
The stream has been bought from a wholly owned subsidiary of Northern Vertex Mining Corp.
READ: M averix Metals strikes Silver Stream agreement on Northern Vertex's Moss Mine
As reported on December 6, in exchange for an up-front cash payment of US$20 million, Maverix can now buy 100% of the silver produced from the Moss mine, which is operated by Golden Vertex Corp, a subsidiary of Northern Vertex.
Once Maverix has purchased 3.5 million ounces of silver, the company will have the right to purchase 50% of the life-of-mine silver produced from the Moss mine.
With Moss seeing commercial production in September this year, the silver stream will generate immediate revenue for Maverix.
"Maverix is excited to partner with Northern Vertex by offering a financing solution that will allow them to significantly de-lever their balance sheet and keep the operating team at Moss fully focused on unlocking the mine's long-term potential," said Dan O'Flaherty, CEO of Maverix.
"The addition of this cash flowing asset in a stable jurisdiction further strengthens our portfolio and meaningfully increases our attributable precious metals production per share," O'Flaherty added.
Maverix aims to give shareholders significant low-risk leverage to the gold price and to increase underlying per-share value.

Get more bang for your buck for Guy Fawkes night this weekend with our top tips— plus find out how to win £5,000 with Sun Savers
New research from Wonga shows that we will spend almost £500 million on Bonfire Night this weekend
INTEREST rates aren't the only things going up.
As the nation prepares to send rockets and bangers soaring skywards on Bonfire Night, we're here to help you save big on the cost of your celebrations.
New research from Wonga shows Brits will spend £497million this Guy Fawkes Night — a lot of money to see going up in smoke. And coming so soon after Halloween, it makes this week one of the priciest for families after the Christmas period.
So to ensure you don't Fawkes out more than you need to, here are the seven simple ways to save money this weekend.
- Hosting a party? Snap up discounted Halloween goodies. From cupcakes to drinks to sweets and frozen party food, stores have slashed prices by up to 50 per cent making your money go much further.
- Check out the big supermarkets for firework deals, with items starting from just £1 for a pack of jumbo sparklers. Morrisons has several discounted multibuys, Waitrose is offering buy one get one free, and both Aldi and Lidl have discount ranges this year.
- Don't spend £3 a pop on shop-bought toffee apples when making your own is cheap and easy. Check out goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/530579/toffee-apple.
- Going to a big display? Take your own hot chocolate in a flask. You can make a whole jug for under £1 compared to £2.50 and upwards for a single serving at an organised display.
- Partying at home? Hotdogs and burgers are cheap and really easy to make. Iceland is currently selling eight Ye Olde Oak hotdogs for 58p and 12 buns for just £1.12.
- Fill up guests with warming baked potatoes too. Your local market will have great value spuds or snap up a bumper 2.5kg bag at supermarkets for under £2.

WRONG – Sun Savers is for ever.
4. It's just a joining offer.
WRONG – you will get a fiver for EVERY 28 codes you enter.

WRONG – it doesn't matter how long it takes you to get 28 codes, you'll still get the fiver.
6. There will be lots of hoops to jump through and lots of catches.
WRONG – register with just your name, email and date of birth, start entering your codes and you are good to go.
7. It will take ages to receive the fiver.
WRONG – just link your bank account and the money will be in your account within three to five working days. Or do it via PayPal and get it instantly.
Our readers share their stories
'To be given a fiver every month just for reading my favourite paper is win-win'
LIFELONG Sun reader, Sharron Hodgkins, 55, and her husband, Keith, 60, from Chigwell, Essex, plan to save up their fivers to splash out on the grandkids at Christmas.
The Tesco worker says: "I always get The Sun, I've been buying it since I was a kid. My dad bought it before me.
"I was getting the paper anyway so to be given a free fiver every month, simply for scanning The Sun each day is a win-win. It's so easy to do, I just find it brilliant.
"We're going to save up the money and then buy our two granddaughters the latest must-have toy."
'It's easy, I just scan the code as I read so I really am getting money for nothing'
KELLIE SHARP, 27, from Whitchurch, Shropshire, is a single mum to ten-month-old Willow.
The retail assistant says: "I buy The Sun every day, so when I saw that I could earn some free money, I downloaded the app on my phone straight away. I certainly wasn't disappointed.
"You can scan the code as you're reading the paper, so the money really is for nothing. The process is nice and easy.
"So far I've being using the money to buy toys for Willow, but now I plan to save up the cash and buy something really amazing for my baby girl."
'With the free cash from The Sun I can treat son to special day trip to fun park'
ALBERTINA ABUELO-ALLEN, 34, is looking forward to treating her six-year-old son, Sydney, to a special holiday, after what's been a tough year for both of them.
The full-time mum, from Scunthorpe, says: "In 2014 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and it's been tough for my young son, Sydney. But every year we have one highlight, The Sun £9.50 Holidays.
"Sydney loves our holidays and, in particular, the arcades. This year, with the free fivers from The Sun, I can really treat him to a special day trip to a fun park. The app is fantastic."
'I'm a movie nut – so I will be putting the money towards my cinema season ticket'
TRAINEE nurse Ruby Jarvis, 17, from Norwich, plans to spend her free Sun Savers cash on cinema tickets.
She says: "I'm a movie nut, so when I heard about The Sun giving away free cash I knew I had to be in on it.
"It's so easy to set up. All you've got to do is scan the code each day, and you get a fiver for free at the end of the month. It's so simple to get the £5 transferred to my bank account and each month I'm going to cash out and put the money towards my Odeon season ticket – which gives me unlimited access to the cinema."

Estradiol enhances light-induced expression of transcription factors in the SCN
The suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus (SCN) is the master clock that regulates circadian and seasonal rhythms. Among these, the SCN regulates the phasic release of hormones and provides for the timing of the preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge necessary for ovulation in females. There is little evidence, however, of sex hormone effects on mechanisms underlying SCN function. This study examined the effects of exogenous administration of estradiol on the light-induced expression of transcription factors in the SCN of female rats. Ovariectomized (OVX) female rats were given estradiol or cholesterol implants and perfused 48 h later. Half of the animals were sacrificed 1 h after the regular onset of light within the colony. The rest had the lights go on 2 h prior to the regular time and perfused 1 h later. Collected brains were sliced and sets of SCN sections were processed for immunoreactivity (ir) detecting the Fos, pCREB, egr-1, CREB binding protein (CBP), and calbindin-D (28K) proteins. Following quantification, statistical analyses demonstrated that estradiol enhanced Fos and p-CREB-ir in the SCN of females that experienced a 2-h phase advance. The phase advance also enhanced calbindin and egr-1-ir, but the expression of these proteins was not affected by estradiol. These results demonstrate that estradiol enhances the levels of transcription factors that precede the expression of clock gene proteins in the SCN in response to advances in the onset of environmental light. These data support the hypothesis that steroid hormones play an important role in the fine tuning of the clock in the face of environmental changes in daylight.

Our goal is to change the mindsets of our people, and be the kinds of leaders that we hope to be and an echo the morals required to take on our communities biggest problems. It starts by standing with those who support you, listening to voices unheard, and recognizing potential where others see despair. "It demands investing as a means, not an end, daring to go where markets have failed and aid has fallen short." It makes our capital work for us, not control us. It prospers on imagination, the humility to see the world as it is, and the courageousness to imagine the world as it could be. It's having the motivation to learn at the edge, the wisdom to admit failure, and the audacity to start again. Its leadership that rejects complacency, breaks through system, and challenges corruption."Doing what's right, not what's easy."

When we choose a feature player, it is in many ways quite a moving experience. The journey British Dodgeball has been on in these early months has been something incredible and we are honoured and so proud to be working with you all to develop the sport for all it deserves. This journey however would not be possible without all of you.
This feature player has been chosen for the amazing input and drive they have in dodgeball on and off court. She plays as one of the strongest players in the UK and has seen many awards come to her and her team. Amongst disciplined and strategic play, her involvement and voice within the community around dodgeball is one that resonates with a belief in something big and positive for the sport.
It is an honour to celebrate a player as this and we hope you all enjoy the feature.
Bedford Mighty Eagles
- Where did your journey into dodgeball begin? What got you playing?
I actually came across dodgeball accidentally. My housemates at university needed to try out a new sport for their course, which I was dragged along to. I haven't looked back since!
- What is it about the sport that you love most?
It is definitely the people and the inclusivity of the sport. It's so easy to get in to and overall, a lot of fun! I am always aiming to flourish and achieve new things at each competition, whilst setting myself goals whether it be tactically or for fitness purposes. I wouldn't have labelled myself as a competitive individual, but it has certainly brought out a secret streak in me.
The dodgeball community also throw a damn good social when we get together!
- In any sport, which sportsperson do you find most inspiring and why?
Funnily enough, I'm not a huge sports fanatic. Although, I am a big fan of Anthony Joshua, he's an absolute beast. Started from the bottom and worked his way to the top, whilst being an honourable and humble guy. He's also nice to look at if you ask me...
- What is it like being part of such a high level and successful club?
There are highs and lows playing at such a high level. The pressure is always on to deliver, which can be difficult at times; on the other hand my team are all naturals at the sport, with years of experience between us.
I honestly don't know where I would be without my team. My coaches and the players have supported me so much, constantly taking their time to help me achieve my objectives and push me in the right direction. Initially, I didn't believe that I would even play at the same standard as the girls in my squad, they are outstanding. However, the ladies made me feel equal from the off set, which enabled me to get stuck in. I still have a lot more to give, and I know they still have my back.
- If you had a dodgeball superpower, what would it be?
Probably invisibility, I could sneak up on players and get a cheeky toe shot!
- What are your ambitions within the sport?
My personal ambitions would be to move up the ladder, play internationally and continue to get fitter with a faster throw. I don't think I will stop until I am there, with my Beagles by my side, but watch this space.
For the sport itself, I focus on spreading the word of dodgeball and encouraging people to get involved. We have a few new players this year and hopefully more to come!
- What is your greatest achievement in dodgeball?
Winning Nationals and DPL with Bedford Eagles. That's a feeling you can't shake off!
- What would be your dodgeball theme tune?
This is a tough one. It would probably have to be something tremendously cheesy like 'Shake it off'... get smacked in the face, it's all good, just got to shake it off I guess!
- What is your best memory in dodgeball.
There are many memories made in dodgeball, each tournament a different one. I think one of the best was when I played at Bedford Bulls in the second team, we were at South Champs I believe and came third, winning our first ever medal. Not only that, we were also given a position in nationals. That was a great day!

- Soviet style iconography of working woman with wrench? Check.
- Multi-page political manifesto? Check.
- Snarling DC-hardcore guitar drone? Check.
- Trumpet? A trumpet? Who brought a fucking trumpet?
Welcome to The Nation of Ulysses. Population: "As few as five, possibly hundreds." according to the extensive liner notes, which look like espionage dossiers, complete with photos of spies and out-of-whack typewriter text. It's wildly fun to pick through these. The notes also contain their political manifesto...
and band member biographies..."…while never forgetting the need for constant purging, 'as the Nation shall resemble a self-cleaning oven.'"
"…James (Canty) replied 'We're sort of an epic Joycean assembly with bold futuristic leanings' before delivering solid punches to the jaws of the entire audience."
You just know they had a great time writing this.
The music, well, that's wildly fun in that there's a ton of energy in it. What is it? It's barely controlled DC hardcore-esque chaos with the occasional oddly placed trumpet bleat in between the feedback howls. They definitely have some of that Dischord sound to them, at least when the trumpet isn't playing. They make an attempt at some free-form jazz while someone mumbles "That's the soundtrack to revolution" into the mic before they launch into the opening track.
So, why do I own this? The 20-year old me would have eaten this up. The music? It's fun, and sloppy. If you're looking for great music, Fugazi did this sound a whole lot better, and without an oddly-fitting one-man horn section. But the over the top politics and humor of this band just can't be beat. I would have appreciated that then just as much as I do now. The songs on this EP were later included on the wonderfully titled "13-Point Program To Destroy America." I can't believe I forgot about these guys.
Funny what some research turns up. Drummer James Canty (brother of Fugazi's Brendan Canty) now plays guitar for Ted Leo & the Pharmacists. I wonder if he describes them as Joycean. At the very least, he's got a lot more punches to deliver now.
