By Archbishop Stylianos of Australia
Sisters and Brothers,
In accordance with the order of Feast Days for the Ecclesiastical Year as designated by the Church Fathers (who decreed wisely on all matters!), the Sunday of the Prodigal Son has come upon us once again, with its two 'Readings' which are so characteristic, so educational and so necessary for every moment of life, not just for annual usage.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son on the one hand (Lk. 15:11-32), and the Epistle of St Paul to the Hebrews on the other (7:7-17), are two readings which we should visit at least once a week. Because this is not a straightforward and complete story that begins and finishes.
Just as man is not one singular adventure, nor just one singular sin, in the same way the narrative of the Prodigal Son is comprised of many stories.
The father is one scenario.
The elder son is another.
The younger son another.
But at every moment of our lives we are and we become something else. Each one of us!
Medical science informs us that the cells of the human body continually change: They age, they are replaced and they arerejuvenated.
Therefore, man is not something monolithic: It is not as though he became good and will die good. Or that he became mindlessand will die mindless. It does not work like that in human life. Because such presumptions do not exist in the Providence of God, in His love for man, in His wisdom, in His all-powerfulness.
He has given us so many possibilities, yet He has also left open so many opportunities for good and bad (as many as the hairs on our head!). Just the thought of it is enough to send us into a spin!
In other words, whatever 'major' thing I achieve might in the next moment be demolished, spoiled, forgotten, not counting for much in the final result.
Indeed, whatever major thing we achieve is capable at some time of turning out to be not merely minor, but bitter and harmful. Yet, at the same time, whatever mistake or sin we commit might just turn out to be for us a 'stepping stone' for something higher, if it becomes a cause for reflection and repentance.
"And when he came to himself…" (i.e. come to your senses, as our people say, reclaim your sanity, in order to realize who you were!).
Who comes into this world and God does not allow him to develop all the possibilities which He has given him? God has never 'blocked' anyone's path.
And in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, if we observe it from the outset, the father deals with his two sons 'in his own way'.
Then comes the younger son: We should have expected that he would be the more reserved, the more restrained, the moretimid. He would never dare to leave the shelter of his Father!
And yet, although that is what we expected, the exact opposite occurs. He comes and says "Give me my share of the property…". Give me my 'cut', that which belongs to me. (Since when does it belong to you, friend? When did you create it? When did you labour for it? You found it all there when you were born. The house, the property, your father's honour, the paternal shelter and protection! Did you create all of that?)
The Father should be the one who demonstrates prudence, who lays down the law, who provides security. For a single moment he allows his soul to 'waver'. (Should I give him his share now, that which I would have given him, or should I not?)
These secret hesitations and doubts are not mentioned in the Parable. And they are not mentioned because this parable refers to God Himself. And God of course knows what He is doing at every moment. He has no need to 'reconsider', to 'regret'.
Nonetheless, let us not forget that the Parable is 'ANTHROPOMORPHIC' – portrayed in human terms.
The father, then, instead of saying to him "you're not going anywhere; the time has not come yet, you are immature", chooses to honour the freedom that every person is entitled to. For this reason, although he is younger, he gives him what he asks for! 'OnlyGod knows' with what pain a father's heart watches his child depart – whatever child that might be!
I will never forget my Mother's tears when I was departing from Rethymno for Hania on the island of Crete in Greece (3½ hours by car in those days. It was as if I was actually 'migrating' – from Rethymno to Hania. Today it is just a 25-minute drive!). And I was only leaving to attend School. To enrol at the Ecclesiastical Seminary of Crete.
My mother shed 'black tears' for a whole week before I left. She would look towards the mountains and say "there, behind them, is where you are going…"!
How much more dramatic, of course, it is when a mindless child leaves home, taking whatever it takes with it. And, crucially, going wherever it might imagine!
But you have heard the narrative of the Parable. I won't repeat it.
Partying here, spending there, the younger son engaged in charlatanism, tramping and prodigality (from where the adjective 'Prodigal' is derived!).
This is where he saw so many things. And what didn't he see! He saw people circulating; others happy, others sad and others indifferent.
Himself a stranger, amongst other strangers. But when his money ran out, he "began to be in want!".
He had to go and work. This son of a Nobleman went to a farm as a slave! He watched the swine eating locusts, the pea pods with which he also tried to satisfy his hunger!
There, for the first time, he seriously remembered who he was – from whence he came, whose son he was, what he forsook, what he neglected, what he betrayed.
At that point he thought to himself: The employees of my father (the servants who are paid every day) wallow in everything. "And I perish in hunger". And I am dying of starvation!
So, he took the decision: "I will return, I will see him again, he won't have changed. Such a father could not have changed"!
Observe how the younger, prodigal son, deep-down, believed. I will say to him: "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you". I have embittered both God and yourself. Right before your eyes I committed such foolish deeds.Forgive me. And "receive me as one of your hired servants".
Forgive me. Receive me back so that I might fit into your home again. (The Greek word for 'forgiveness', 'συγχωρώ' – 'syn-horo', means exactly that. To 'fit in together' with the others, in the same place).
"Receive me as one of your hired servants". Take me back, not as your son. I don't dare ask for that. I don't deserve to ask for that.
He who once said he is entitled to his "share of the property" now does not dare ask even for his name, even for his father's abiding paternity.
Observe how the same person changed from one phase to the other.
And the father himself, though embittered and hurt in the beginning, now does not know how to show his joy.He opens his embraceful arms and runs. He runs ahead first, to welcome him, to kiss him. And you recall what directions he gave: He called for the fatted calf to be killed. He clothed him with a regal robe. He forgave him.However, whilst the celebrations for his return had commenced, so many others were changing!
And it was the elder son who changed most of all. He who up till that hour was the modest, prudent son who had never 'abandoned' the paternal home.
Do you see how a person changes? We are like the heliotrope. The flower that leans towards the direction of the sun.We, in this world, do not lean towards the 'Sun of Righteousness' who is Christ. That is, God. Unfortunately we lean as the butterfly does towards the 'light', and is scorched. We lean towards anything that shines and appears as gold, though it be just tin! We forget that in this world nothing should be presumed as 'honourable' or 'dishonourable'. Everything is honourable and everything can become dishonourable. It depends on whether a person utilizes his brains as meant by God: to function in a God-like manner (as is fitting for God!).
So the virtuous one changed. The prudent one changed. As the elder son (the presbyter) was returning from the fields, he heard the music, the celebrations, the revelry. "What's going on", he asks. "What has happened"?
– Your brother who was dead has returned! He was lost and he is found!
– "Oh, is that so now"!
He approaches and gives his father a 'dressing down', as if he were God Himself judging a sinner!
Think about these things! That is why I said we should read this Parable at least once a week, if possible.
The father listened to him. He didn't 'rouse' on him. He didn't turn him away. He just listened: "For so many years I worked for you from morning till night. And I would come and you never gave me a fatted calf to eat with my friends. And now that he has come here, he who devoured your fortune on harlots, you hastened to sacrifice everything for him!"
The 'poor' father. Let us say here (in inverted commas!) 'poor' God. What more must 'poor' God be 'compelled' to listen to yet!
As for us, we continue in our own world: You did such and such to him. You did such and such to the other. Why didn't you do something for me? Why didn't you give me such and such? We determine the measure! Instead of saying, "It is You who gave the Law. It is You who have given life. It is You who have given everything. It is You who govern all things". Instead of us, then, saying to God "Your will be done" (as did the Only-Begotten Son, God Himself who became Man), we become a lawless law, an unjust law, a poisonous law. And we insult and blaspheme God!
Yet God is not so aggravated as to forget us or to 'insult' us derogatively (even though God does not 'insult derogatively'!). Whatever He created is His. It is precious to Him. Whatever contains His image is He Himself. That is why He respects it, He aches for it and He honours it. And He wants to save all of us – men and women, sinners and lesser sinners, wise and unwise (we are all unwise before the Wisdom of God!). My child, he says to him, why are you complaining and you don't come to delight with us? You, also, should be glad and jubilant that your brother "was dead and has come back to life, was lost and is found". He was dead and came back to life. He was lost (we know not where) and has been found. You should have been glad. That is how the complaint of the Father concludes.
However, the most tragic lesson that we take from the Parable of the Prodigal Son is the following truth regarding human egotism: The more 'leniently' any instruction, any lesson is enounced, the more deeply it 'cultivates' and 'alters' the recipient, whoever he might be.
In order to conclude the essentially inexhaustible analysis of the Parable of the Prodigal Son, we have left as a final observation, a tragic truth which we have discerned from years ago.
It concerns the most frightening cause and effect which threatens the arrogant person, when his secret self-indulgence thirsts for self-justification (!), leading him to the point where he commits (before the All-knowing God!) exactly the same sin for which he rejects and condemns his fellow human. He censures him as prodigally abandoning the paternal home and, aggravated by this, he himself refuses to enter again into the common home! "He was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him" (Lk. 15:28).
May God not allow us to reach such blindness, accusing others (of the same things), instead of ourselves!

Think about the last ten years of your life. Who were you back then? What were you wearing? Is there any constant over that decade that remains with you today? Working on any project close to one's heart that long, is near impossible. Hence the reason fans from around the world came to the small town of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec to tip their collective hats to the tenth anniversary of the Festival de musique émergente, colloquially known as FME; a quaint but powerful matching of emerging artists and savvy veteran acts.
Blossoming from the minds of local impresarios Jenny Thibault and Sandy Boutin, the festival came about in a simple but genius manner. Sandy recalls, "Many times during the year we have to take our car to see some show in Montreal or Toronto. They don't have a wide array of genres of music presenting concerts over here. One day we were coming back from a show in Montreal and we had a crazy idea of starting a festival." Immediately the two sprung all their hopes upon the support of both locals and those willing to flee a big city on the last weekend of summer. "It was pretty small, the first edition" begins Jenny. "We had twenty two bands and they were all playing in four venues. There was only one show at a time."
Sandy: If you only had ten people at the festival they can see all the shows.
Jenny: It was a huge success. At the end we got three thousand five hundred people.
Sandy: And the festival was sold out.
Jenny: The year after, we doubled it.
This year's celebration of Jenny and Sandy's decade of success spared very little for both the uninitiated and seasoned music fan. On opening night, a triple bill of David Simard, Half Moon Run, and Timber Timbre constructed repeated waves of aural bliss over a packed house. With Half Moon Run evoking the sounds of Half To The Thief era Radiohead and Timber Timbre frontman Taylor Kirk showcasing songs from their new release Creep On Creepin' On.

A festival, however, might be able to be judged by all the satellite amenities and Easter eggs found in the crevices of the experience. With surprises around every corner, like performance artists and a pop up radio station, FME is rich with ways to spend all the in between time. For example, speaking of satellites, if you've ever wanted to eat a Georgia Satellites album made of dark chocolate, you missed your chance to do it this year. FME really is the alternative to the big ticket price, one large mass in a field kind of festival; intimate but without sacrificing talent.
On Friday a healthy crowd assembled to catch a performance by Kandle and her band of strikingly accurate instrumentalists. With a surprisingly heavy sound for such a cautiously twee girl, the audience that night was captivated from the opening track and showed their deep appreciation after every song on the set list. The twinkling blonde was making her first trek to the northern section of the province and was quickly wrapped up in the environment. "I'm just really excited to be part of something so amazing. Such a good community, and I am meeting a lot of great artists that I get to play with and hang out with." Kandle remembers what her immediate reaction was to hearing the news that she was booked for this year's festival, "I said 'Cool, I'll go.' I heard it was a wonderful festival: countryside, big old party, bunch of cool tunes, good times, 'I'm there!' and here I am!"
If Sandy and Jenny were to offer up just one night's experience from the last ten years to represent all that FME is about, the Saturday night in Rouyn-Noranda of this year's festival would be a top contender. Starting in a theatre full of gleefully pumped fans, Marie Pierre Arthur took the stage around 22:30h. It's a tall order to attempt a John Lennon cover in the middle of a set, but fans and those casually attending, had their skepticism wiped away very quickly; not so much immediately after Marie Pierre Arthur's version of "Jealous Guy" but after a few more of her original tunes helped surround the Lennon number with quality. Her songs could be plucked from the Lennon songbook, which one would imagine is high praise.
As engaging as Mademoiselle Arthur was, the real shining moments came at midnight, with a few hundred people huddling in a church off the main strip. Performing there was the band Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The post rock juggernaut was a perfectly congruent choice to cap off ten years of imaginative and ambitious programming. They performed that night with a culminating orgasm that mesmerized everyone who has a lust for a musical identity. Every instrument represented a voice of fans who were buried under the girth of the band's monstrous sound, and all without a vocalist. They have a drummer who has the biggest rack tom on the planet disintegrating the low end, and an angelic violin player keeping the entire boat steady. With these pieces, Godspeed appeals to one's carnal instincts, hitting the listener in the stomach, the mind and the heart. While hundreds of people were trying to decide between holding back tears and trying to breathe (it was impossible to do both), it's a wonder that a band like this didn't burst into flames sometime during the two hours-plus show.
One can't imagine that FME hasn't fulfilled and exceeded the expectations of Jenny Thibault and Sandy Boutin's original roadtrip dream. After a full decade of lofty ambition and precise execution, attempting to derail this institution would be near impossible. It has become synonymous with the city of Rouyn-Noranda; the people's festival. "The locals really like it because they are involved" states Jenny. "We have more than 1500 volunteers working on the festival. It's like 'our' festival, like their own festival." A festival by the people, for the people, owned by the people can't really be stopped now can it?
Now, remember this year. Remember what you're wearing, who you are, and what your plan is, because when asked about producing another ten years of FME Sandy Boutin simply states, "Yes. Of course." Godspeed Jenny and Sandy. Godspeed.

This pool had a 8"inch water main running one foot away from the deep end sidewall of the pool. We had retaining walls from the Westside and the house was ten feet away from the Eastside. As a result, we took the sides down 18" inches down from finished grade in those areas and 3' feet in the other areas. We broke out the entire bottom of the pool and began importing dirt. We crowned the pool 5" inches higher in the existing flat work perimeter sides. The scenario allowed sheet flow of water to flow onto the existing flat work and drain out. The customers were very happy.
The first three pictures are where we have demoed the entire pool floor and broken out the sides of the pool 3' down from the top of the coping. All the concrete has been broken into pieces not greater than 6 to 8" with a few larger pieces on occasion. The next three pictures are of the beginning of new soil importation for compaction. Dirt that is not clay and has a sandy silty texture is brought into the site, brought to optimal moisture content of between 10 to 13% moisture and then compacted into 6 to 8" lifts until finish grade is reached. When drainage slope to daylight is not attainable with free fall then we will install drains to daylight out water.
We worked with Mark Braun and Associates to get the compaction tested for this pool. Their soil report required 4- 12" holes in the pool and after talking with them we recommended the whole bottom of the pool to be broken out which we did. The side we took down 3' from the top of the coping with all concrete broken up to 12" minus to avoid voids that would exist in-between larger concrete pieces had we not broken it up as much. The soil report requires 1' of pea gravel over the concrete rubble and then filter cloth over that with a minimum of 2' of compacted dirt cover over the pea gravel and filter cloth. All our compaction was 93% or better with a minimum threshold of no less than 90% compaction required.

If you own a swimming pool, then you know the cost to maintain it can be extremely high. This is one of the main reasons people opt to remove or demolish their in-ground swimming pool. Santa Barbara Bobcat, Inc. offers affordable and professional swimming pool demolition, excavation and land restoration.
We really believe that no job is too small or too big for us to handle. We're confident in our services and our quality. We work hard to make sure that we are reliable and affordable for everyone.
This is a Pool Demo in Camarillo where the clients elected to bury the pool like 95% of all clients choose to do to save money. We broke the sides down 3' from the top of the coping and broke out the whole pool bottom to insure that the area will drain. We got the permit and coordinated to have inspections with City inspectors at the appropriate stages of the job.
This was a pool demo in which we created a 2% grade from the house to two 12" inch drain boxes for drainage. The customer had drainage problems since he bought the property and this eliminated most of the problem. Sheet flow now flowed from approximately 2/3rds of the .48 acre property into our client's newly designed drainage system. Eliminating an extra drain in which the customer thought he would need.

July 6, 2011Read: 3 John 1
"I hope all is well with you, and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit." --3 John 1:2
If you missed it like I did, read the verse again. Yep, that's it. In one verse, God has woven permission for a healthy concern of the body. Never at the expense of what's most important, but when was the last time you and I hoped the same for someone? Oh, we often ask how the kids are, how the job is going, and the progress of one's golf game -- but what about their health? Not the casual, "So how you been" or "How you doin?," but rather a real longing to see your friends and family as healthy on the outside as they are on the inside.
Truth is, we may be as timid to ask as we are to be asked. But either way, it's okay. Because we have both permission and an obligation to hope for health.
Sometimes we as believers hide behind the truth that "God looks upon the heart" when it comes to our physical self. But not caring for the body, or disregarding our health because it won't last, is in fact a "heart problem." Do you believe that somewhere between vanity and gluttony lies healthy, abundant living? And whenever possible, should believers be the example of that middle ground? Leave us your comments below.

Are we really living in a Post-Ideas world?
Spring 2011
"We are living in an increasingly post-idea world, a world ... [where] Bold ideas are almost passe." - Neal Gabler The Elusive Big Idea The New York Times.
I think Neiman Labs have probably already nailed the qualified response (i.e. "the essay's wrong, actually, in an interesting way. Gabler is making a big assumption: that the Big Idea is Big precisely because it is, actually, big — largely acknowledged, largely apprehended, largely accepted") but what interests me is the connection Gabler has made between the end of the big idea and the rise of the internet.
After all the internet was born out of the big ideas that fueled post-modernism. A cultural revolution that dealt in the currency of collage, chance, anarchy, repetition (see Prospect Magazine's Postmodernism is dead). So perhaps simply because of its DNA (i.e. the great grand child of Dadaism) the internet was never really going to be a forum for exploring big ideas? maybe it was always going to be about collage, chance, anarchy and repetition of existing ideas (i.e. From Dada to Gaga)?
So perhaps the biggest idea we have today (i.e the Internet) is in reality just a hyper connected mash-up of all our yesterdays reconstructed as tomorrows? The intellectual equivalent of Dorian Gray if you like.
For the internet to qualify as a big idea it has to take us to places we have never been before.
The question is has it done that? Has the internet delivered to us a hyper-yesterday or a new tomorrow?
Take Web 2.0 or what I like to call the So.Me for example. Here is a post-post-modern (i.e. Modern Rococo: MoRoCo) mash-up of old ideas about the value of networks, influence, conversations and listening wrapped up into a compelling story of self organising communities. A virtual world where social actions speak louder than words and pictures.
In reality we haven't so much as created a new social construct for tomorrow but a mirror of our fractured reality today. A virtual scrapbook of post modern life's hopes, fears and discontents. More a frenzy of activity sans thought than a global forum for exploring big ideas.
"If you listen first, and write later, then whatever you write will have had time to filter through your brain, and you'll be in what you say. This is what makes you exist. If you are only a reflector of information, are you really there?" - Jarad Lanier quoted in the New Yorker article The Visionary
The same goes for the future of the software industry. For all Marc Anderssen rhetoric in the WSJ today (Think Why software is eating the world) the stark reality is the software industry today is now facing the same "Analog Dollars = Digital Pennies" commercial pressures that the media industry failed to address 10-15 years ago. These new technology start-ups that Anderssen so vigorously claims are disrupting the real world are in most cases merely disrupting the established players in the software market by offering niche application and/or data mash-ups in the cloud for free or at a fraction of the price. Not so much a new way of doing business. Just a new way of distributing and connecting to the information that invariably drives down the costs of doing business (at least once you remove the transport costs and the bi-annual investment in new gadgets out of the equation).
So we are not seeing wholesale innovation or renewal in the software sector. Just the inevitable maturity in the product cycle driving the shelf price of COTS to zero.
Here again is an industry that is surprisingly running on empty when it comes to big, bold innovative ideas at the moment. Even Facebook reads more like "CRM for the rest of us" than some revolutionary new global communications platform.
Take a quick look at this archival piece from the Information Design Lab that Business Insider dug up earlier this week. A video of a Tablet Newspaper from 1994. What the video illustrates is just how little our thinking has evolved over the past 17 years. this was the future of media (i.e. the iPad) two decades before it became a mainstream hit. Which leads us to the question did Apple really revolutionise media with the iPad or did it just pick up all the pieces of the jigsaw after everybody else gave up on the idea? In reality it didn't have an epiphany or game changing idea. It just executed the mash-up better than anyone else who had tried to deliver this idea to market over the past two decades.
The quote that struck us as most impressive for the time? "We may still use the computer to create information, but we'll use the tablet to interact with information." - Business Insider Tablet Predictions
What the explosion of sales of the iPad and the drop off in PC sales also suggests (as do the failure of the earlier efforts to create a tablet that was more like a computer than a TV) is that there is a global trend is towards idea navigation and consumption of ideas rather than idea creation.
This transition from interactivity as creation to interactivity as consumption and mash-up (i.e. Productivity to Gaming) is a trend worth considering within the context of the future of ideas.
Within the context of the modern world new ideas were created by the simple equation 1+1=3. So theoretically access to the internet in a post, post modern world should expand our ability to create new ideas exponentially (i.e. (1+1=3)^n).
Theoretically the internet should be the greatest ideas and innovation engine the world has even known.
If we are living in a post ideas world then it is largely because the internet has failed to take us to these new places. And if that is the case then perhaps it is simply because the internet makes it easier to explore yesterday and share today rather than to help us to create tomorrow.
Perhaps, largely thanks to the internet, we find ourselves simply more adept at discovery (i.e. creating endless lists of likes and navigating the hyperlinks) and curation rather than experimentation and creation. More adept at generating patterns and searching for insights within these patterns than engaging in the battle of smashing disparate ideas together to create bold new ideas. More interested in exploring variations and mash-ups of old tunes than making the mistake of playing some new tunes we have never heard before.
In the end, as Picasso said, "all artists are thieves". The new feeds off the old. But in reality things only really get exciting when the new rejects the old and tries to rediscover the world through new eyes and then goes on to reconstruct (as opposed to deconstruct) the world in its own image.
Perhaps here then is the seed of the next big idea that may yet come out of Gabler's musings. The need to discover a new type of thinking that is more about experimentation and creation than discovery and curation. A revolutionary new type thinking that isn't interested in accumulating Traffic, Page Views, Fans and Likes but in breaking all the rules. Being bold enough to believe that what we are trying today with the internet just isn't working and if the internet is to deliver on its early promise we need to start thinking and doing things differently.
After all, if the future of the internet is just about converting paper into bits (e.g. Money) and personal memories into databases (e.g. Social), haven't we already been there and done that?
In the end, and at the risk of doing a Marshall McLuhan, perhaps the big idea that is the internet isn't to be found in the nodes or the connections scattered across the Zipf Curve but in the yet to be explored negative space of the network. What we may come to think of as the holes in the landscape or the "antipattern".

Holly Willoughby transforms into Harley Quinn for Celebrity Juice's Halloween Special
Blonde presenter stunned fans with her sexy Instagram picture as Suicide Squad character
HOLLY Willoughby has channelled her inner bad girl dressed as comic book character Harley Quinn.
The This Morning presenter normally looks like the classic girl-next-door in her pretty dresses and blonde hair styled in perfect waves around her face.
But on Friday, the 35-year-old transformed into the infamous anti-hero, made famous by Margot Robbie in the DC Comics movie earlier this year, ready for the Celebrity Juice Halloween Special.
Posing sexily in a tight pair of red and blue shorts, ripped white T-shirt and fishnet tights, Holly held up a baseball bat - the character's weapon of choice - and pointed it off to the side of the camera while pouting.
Holly's usual natural style makeup had been replaced by heavy eye makeup, complete with red and blue patches under each eye, with the rest of her face whitened with powder.

'We're sorry'Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield apologise to furious This Morning viewers after GBBO host joke
To complete the look, the mother-of-three wore a white blonde wig in bunches with the ends dyed blue and red.
In an accompanying meme, Holly can be seen swinging her bat at the camera, showing off her curvaceous figure to full effect while doing so.
She captioned it: "Just about to film @celebjuiceofficial Halloween special! #harleyquinn #suicidésquad ... thanks @angiesmithstyle and @patsyoneillmakeup xxxx".
While it's unknown if the rest of the panel - Keith Lemon, Gino D'acampo and Fearne Cotton - will also be characters from Suicide Squad, Fearne shared a snap of her getting ready, but it's unclear who she will be.
Sitting on a sofa in jeans and a striped top, Fearne's hair was hidden under a cap with dramatic makeup on her face.
She captioned the shot: "Theatre darrrrling".
The star's always make a big effort for Halloween, with Holly wearing an array of costumes over the years, including a cat, a devil and last year, she morphed into a scary Alice in Wonderland.

Black Friday Church Cleanup

By: Terry Burgess, Founder and Men's Midlife Coach, Upward MC
Tom Corley, the author of "Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals" finds that "rich people" those with an annual income of $150,000 are more like to read for self-improvement then for entertainment.
He gives us the following statistics to prove his point.
- 11% of rich people read for entertainment, versus 79% of poor individuals.
- 85% of rich people read 2 or more educational, self-improvement books per month, whereas only 15% of poor read the same amount.
- 94% of rich people read news publications (newspapers, blog, and magazines) compared to 11% of poor individuals.
These statistics show that rich people are dedicated and voracious readers who are focused on success and daily improvement. They are more likely to be individuals who gained their knowledge and education through the school of hard knocks and by self-education.
However, I do not believe in the worldly materialistic mantra that monetary riches are needed to be successful and happy. I shared that view through my early adulthood. I learned through my midlife challenges and life renovation a new definition of success and happiness. This new definition is based upon my serving others to bring them to success. I find if I serve others I am truly happy. I have found that I am richer in many other ways than money ever gave me.
What I found most interesting in this change of definition was the bounty I was receiving from my Lord. I have found that my provisions and needs have been met but I also have received a complete feeling of accomplishment. It was a feeling of finding my true mission in life.
My journey through my midlife challenges did not really begin to by successful until I began reading. You can do this either by picking up a physical book, e-book, or listening to an audiobook will help create waves of success in your mind which will transition to your life. You only get out of your life, what you put into your life and mind. Therefore, it is critical to fill you mind with positive and nurturing content on a regular basis.
I shared these three books in an earlier blog. However, they are the key three books which I find no matter how many times you read them, you will always find a new nugget of goodness to help you succeed. These are also the first three books I re-read in 2012 as I began to deal with my midlife challenges.
Book 1 – "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill
Book 2 – "How to Win Friends and Influence Others" by Dale Carnegie
Book 3 – "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale
I hope that you take the time to read or reread the above 3 books. I am sure you will be thankful and more prepared for success than if you did not read them. Who knows, maybe if you never had a daily reading regiment you may find that it was what the doctor ordered to help you become the true person you were meant to be in life. It can take you places you never imagined were possible.
If you are needing some help or discernment on where to go next in your midlife journey; please feel free to contact me for a complimentary 1-hour coaching introduction. I can help you develop a simple starting point plan to help you get on the road from your "midlife crisis" to your "midlife rediscovery and redesign" for your life. You can visit http://bit.ly/SchedulewithTerry to schedule you complimentary coaching hour!

Tamar Braxton isn't just quitting her solo music career — but is also ending her marriage to Vincent Herbert.
Braxton filed for divorce on Tuesday in Los Angeles after nearly a decade of marriage to the music executive, reported TMZ. The pair has one son together, 4-year-old Logan Vincent.
The couple has hit a few rough patches within the last year.
In September, the 40-year-old songstress told Entertainment Tonight that she will no longer release any albums in a bid to save her marriage.
"There's a lot of things that are going on in my relationship and me being close to this music industry, and whatever I can do to eliminate all of the stress and problems off of my relationship, I would rather do that," she said.
"My husband and I work very close together and it's really hard, you know?" Braxton added. "Not only do we work together, he is my baby daddy and, you know, we've been together forever. He's my best friend. It's a lot of things to discuss and argue about."
Earlier this month, the Braxton-Herberts placed their marital home up for sale amid reports they are suffering from financial issues. Herbert was ordered to pay Sony $3.7 million after a cash advance.
It's unclear if their reality show, "Tamar & Vince" on WEtv, will continue. Their newest season is set to premiere in November.
Braxton was fired from "The Real" in 2016, for reasons unbeknownst to her. Braxton's former colleague Jeannie Mai recently announced she and her husband Freddy Harteis are heading for divorce.
"You know how much I love Freddy, my husband. He's my life. And before we got married, I was very clear about the fact that I probably would not have kids, just because I've never felt that. And now, getting older, he definitely seems like he wants kids, and he actually came out and said that he wants children," an emotional Mai told her co-hosts.

Tractr is a dynamic New York based fashion jeans wear brand. The business was started in 1997 by two entrepreneurs, Howard Mensch and Diane Kuczer. The two met while working for the same company, HW Carter & Sons. The company was an old work wear brand that they re-positioned into a fashion work-oriented brand selling work fashion to Urban Outfitters and other fashion forward stores throughout the country. When their tenure there was finished, they quickly realized that between them, they had all the components needed to start a fashion jeans business. Diane had a design background, and Howard had a sales, marketing and retail background. So, they did some research in abandoned trademarks, and found Tractr. They immediately re-trademarked the brand, and launched Tractr Brand Jeanswear in January 1998, as a juniors and girls fashion jeans company. Specialty stores and boutiques throughout the country quickly snapped up the unique well fitted styles, and the distribution grew into Department Stores such as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Von Maur, and Neiman Marcus. Today Tractor is one of the most popular and well known brands in the 4-14 girls market in the USA, with distribution in all the better department stores and specialty stores.

Healthcare organizations understand the benefits of a digital approach. Tools such as mobile applications to access patient data on-the-go, telemedicine to provide 24-hour or remote-care delivery, internal and external collaboration software and remote patient monitoring – just to name a few – are pushing the industry toward Healthcare 3.0.
And that momentum should just keep growing.
As we found in a recent survey, a majority of healthcare executives (62%) said they plan to increase IT spending "somewhat or a lot" in the next three years, more than any other industry segment surveyed.
A majority of healthcare execs also reported that their organizations have adopted digital technologies across functions and that they effectively share information among regions and business units.
Going forward, their organizations plan to invest more in mobile technology, social tools and the public cloud. To be specific:
Nearly half of all respondents say they will begin to adopt cloud applications or increase their use over the next three years;
- 40% plan to expand the use of public cloud;
- 48% plan to boost their spending on collaboration software;
- 60% plan to increase the use of smartphones; and
- 33% plan to increase the use of tablets
Why? Most of them want to improve care, increase efficiency and keep up with patient expectations..
Makes sense.
We see digital tools as a "competitive necessity" in healthcare today as the industry becomes outcome-oriented and value-based. Availability, quality of care and patient satisfaction are becoming increasingly important as providers move from the fee-for-service model that has been in place for years to one designed around patient expectations and the value of care.
And digital technologies have the potential to offer real value in this space, as long as you focus on transformation and don't get seduced by products. We often hear clients say that going digital is complex and raises new questions – but it also makes a real impact.
As one of our clients shared, using analytics to identify best practices has actually changed the behavior of the company's clinicians, lowered costs and raised the quality of care.
That's a great result all healthcare organizations should strive for. And as the survey shows, most are.

"As many changes that I have seen—things stay the same—we have a caring community and we are able to watch young girls and boys grow into productive young women and men."
- Deb Carpentier
"I always come back to the fact that this is simply my life and I love it." That is how Mike Carpentier '00 describes his connection to his alma mater, which is now his home. The Carpentier connection to SSM currently spans three generations with three alums, two current students and Deb "Carp" Carpentier who represents the first generation as a 25-year employee. Deb started working at SSM part-time in 1992 and has held various staff positions including her current role as Student Transportation Coordinator. The three Carpentier boys all graduated from SSM – David '98, Mike '00, and Mark '03.
Mike earned his first W-2 from SSM in 9th grade when he was on the maintenance crew and officially returned to campus in 2005 to live the "triple threat" life of a teacher, coach, and dorm parent. His two step-sons – Isaac Carlson '18 and Noah Carlson '21 have been attending SSM since 6th grade. Mike is gratified by what SSM is offering them. "I am extremely proud to see my boys grow into men and be surrounded by kind, thoughtful, and talented people who care about them for the people they are and have the ability to become." Meanwhile, Mike and his wife Jennifer chase after two young sons - Huck and Frankie - who enjoy the fenced playground just outside The Lodge – their dorm residence on campus.
The Carpentier connection all started with Deb and her early years working at the Middle School. "My very favorite places on campus (besides when I am at Michael's house and visiting all the boys!) are the Chapel at St. Mary's and St. Mary's Hall, which hold a special place in my heart. Jeanne Cleary (a former Middle School Administrative Assistant) was a great mentor to me and I still find campus mail envelopes with her name on them. She is roaming and watching out for all her 'girls!'"
Through the years, Deb has observed a School on the move. "As many changes that I have seen – things stay the same – we have a caring community and we are able to watch young girls and boys grow into productive young women and men." With her smile and ready laugh, Deb observes, "I make fun that no one should stay anyplace for as long as I worked at SSM but through the good and bad times I wouldn't change a thing!"
Mike would not change Tom Silkey's homemade chicken noodle soup. It's his favorite dining hall dish. He loves fall, "but Christmas time is really special at our School. I just love the feeling that ripples through the community." The annual Hands Across Faribault day of service is also a highlight. "I grew up in Faribault, and I love doing anything that can make our lovely town even better. "
However, it's a simple thing that occurs routinely that Mike says is his favorite part of living the ALL IN life at SSM. "Whenever we are about to drive under the Arch and my two little sons, Huck and Frankie, are in the car, they say 'we're home.'
I love that. "

Pablo Pérez was the Spanish Governor of the Marianas for a little less than seven years, from 1848 till 1855. He was a controversial figure, often at odds with the Spanish missionary priests in the Marianas.
In 1854, for example, Pérez took issue with Father Vicente Acosta. Acosta has erected a chapel at the beach in Tomhom (Tumon) where tradition says Father Sanvitores was martyred in 1672. The location was pointed out by some very old people who kept the memory of the site as they had learned from their parents.
The shrine had an altar, a large cross and a painting of Sanvitores.
Acosta then sang Mass at the chapel on May 3, 1854. Two principal ladies involved in this Mass were Matilde de Campos and her sister Luisa. Matilde had a strong devotion to Sanvitores and Father Acosta asked her to take care of decorating the altar. Her sister Luisa assisted her.
The Governor was very displeased with the priest's actions. Pérez maintained that Acosta needed the Governor's permission to build a chapel. He also took issue with the priest's omission of not even informing the Governor of the chapel nor of the Mass.
Pérez started official proceedings against Acosta, gathering oral testimony from witnesses. He sent all of these to the higher authority in Manila, which received these reports in early 1855.
The reports went nowhere as Manila had decided it was time for Pérez to be replaced as Governor of the Marianas. In May of 1855, a new Governor arrived on Guam and Pérez was put on board to leave island.
Acosta and Pérez
No love lost between them

How the architect would build a dream home Fran Silvestre
According to many successful experts will begin the realization of a dream with its visualisation. That's why you should be, to build a dream home at some point, many examples in mind. You should be really modern, beautiful and unique. As the examples of the brilliant Fran Silvestre. Look at, what he has to offer! Then, you could consider how he would build your dream home.
Who knows, if you visualize the building not really in this way which actually someday would stay? How does this sound to you?
Inspired by the South
You can discover Mediterranean influences in General in his work. Ours is not as much the traditional or modern construction. It is about the attitude and the way how to life.
Simple perfection in concrete
Andreu Alfaro is a sculptor who integrates all fabulously in his work. He served also the Fran Silvestre as a wonderful example. Prior to establishing his own architecture Studio, he has also intensively worked with another architect. It's Álvaro Siza Vieira. The influences from their close cooperation are felt also in the current work of the architect.
Why he devoted himself to the Traumhaus-building up?
Let us a little more accurately track the curriculum vitae of Fran Silvestre. While we try on the basis of its sample to give an answer to the question: why chooses you at all to make a profession out of dream house building.
Minimalist setting and open living plan
The architect himself told in an interview, that he was torn between two passions as a boy. On the one hand, he loved the creative work really strongly. At the same time, there were a number of engineers in his family. The first of these was his great great-grandfather and many members of the family are followed this tradition for many generations.
So the architect in the technical and the creative side of the process knew himself well. The perfect balance between these two, as well as the feeling of harmony to form the final character of his work.
Modern Purism in black and white
His design principles and philosophy
If looking at the way, like Fran Silvestre with the dream home-building, then the term "Philosophy" springs immediately. You can see the gorgeous close to nature. This seems no different than explain with deep spirituality.
It is expressed with symbols instead of words.
Straight lines and serenity in the open air
But the architect also love to do the second. He says that his works represent a combination of will and desire. Here are the individual values of these properties for all customers. Thus, the work materializes the most beautiful of the inner world of each individual owner.
Also the particular circumstances are taken into account in his life and also in the environment and it exploits the best of their potential.
Dream home-building must therefore represent satisfaction according to Fran Silvestre
The uniqueness can hide himself in simplicity
Clarity in design and livability in interior design
Modern lifestyle minimalist style
Elegant oval shapes and subdued lighting
Powerful and compact in a

This was the card I made my 2 1/2 year old Niece, Machayla - who was all hocked up on chocolate by the time I got to her house on Sunday Morning!
I used the Easter Anya stamp - which is very adorable! And DP from the Glitter stack I received for my Birthday.
These are the cards I made my friends girls, Sydney and Kylie, for Easter - same design as Mac's but different color schemes. This was a fairly easy layout but I love all three! Sydney and Kylie actually get a great surprise on Friday. Their Mom and Dad are surprising them with a trip to Disneyland! They leave Friday morning and won't get told until Friday morning! It's very exciting! I've made them a couple of going away cards which I'll get posted this week!
This week Spring has finally arrived. I'm ignoring the snow that is supposed to arrive tonight. If I ignore it - maybe it won't happen!! It was nice to finally get outside and actually start to play ball!
UGLY CARD UPDATE: Tracy was the first to receive the card and she is forwarding it on! I'll keep you posted!
Thanks for stoppin' by!

I moonlight with Project Lead The Way in the summer and on some weekends, and yesterday (Monday) they had me and some other teachers fly out to Oakland to work with Zendaya (of Disney/Spider-Man/The Greatest Showman fame) at Fruitvale Elementary, her alma mater and where her mom taught for 20 years.
We brought in tablets/virtual reality headsets, and laptops for a full day of tech and learning with students who just don't have that equipment on a regular basis. It was an incredible day and reminded me of how great it is to be at Tritt Elementary.

It's no secret I absolutely love the Heartland Stamp Set and without a doubt the barn is my favorite stamp in the set. Eva Grauer created the card below using this set along with the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. She then finished it off with some water coloring and I love how it all came together.
I wanted to take her orginal design and put my own twist on it, as you will see in the quick video below. As you can see I used a lot of the same elements but added layers in different areas and simply left the barn black and white. I must admit I love them both. Even though they are similar they are different. Because Monday's we do Clean & Simple Cards, I wanted to show you how you can tweak a card slightly to get those results. My version below is rustic but elegant and would be perfect for any occasion.

I took a different route today and what a find. This was a laneway off Bourke St closer to the King St end.
Can you see the Eureka tower in the distance ? I was up there the other week with our Japanese student. It's the tallest building in Melbourne.
The Emporium food court that I usually have lunch at.
My view whilst having my yoghurt.
Caught up with my walking buddy. It was nice seeing him again. Haven't seen him for weeks. We have another walkies date next week now that I'm well again.
Now in Box Hill waiting for my train home. Groceries done. Simple Wonton noodle soup tonight. Feeling tired now after a day out.

Three weeks in and our 5th round cohort is beginning to settle into a routine. Truthfully, the first two weeks here are not about work because you are busy setting up everything you need to operate as a business here in Chile: bank accounts, accommodations, visas, identification cards, phones, etc.
Startup Chile has been an enormous help in facilitating many of these interactions (especially the ones that deal with government) but it's still tedious work. Finding housing was/is a challenge to many. Pete and I were a few of the lucky ones that found housing right away. And until you get this sorted out it's difficult to concentrate on work.
But this week we did indeed get down to work.
As part of the program we get co-working space at Centro Movistar Innova (acronymly known as CMI). It's one of those walk-in-and-sit-down-wherever-there's-space kind of places. I'd never worked in a co-working environment before so I was curious to see what it would be like. Turns out I love it.
It's a 25-minute walk from home. The internet is fast, there's free coffee/tea/water, and cookies & medialunas to power the 3pm munchies. CMI is also where events like weekly pitch training or meetups happen so it's super convenient.
Some people find it too loud here but for me it's just about right. Louder than a library, but quieter than a library full of engineers (I used to work in one so I know).
We've been working out of the office Monday to Friday (it's closed on weekends) 9ish to 6ish (it's open 8-8), going home to eat and then working a bit more in the evening. I always thought that some day if I controlled my own schedule I would do something slightly unconventional like taking a weekday off (Wednesday + Saturday) instead of the weekend.
I haven't had a chance to try this schedule out yet. I'm so used to the Monday to Friday grind, it will be hard to snap out of it. But I think it will be worth trying. Fridays have generally been less productive for me and being down here is no exception. I'm simply tired by the end of the week.
To some entrepreneurs, taking two days off a week is crazy. But for me the problem is not lack of time, it's lack of energy or lack of routine. Working shorter hours also forces me to procrastinate less. Check out Treehouse and 37signals for how they chose to take 3-day weekends.
Weekly Summary
This week we finalized our logo and Pete started working on wireframes. It's awesome to see the product in our heads coming to life. Thinking through the architecture has been challenging but very interesting for my librarian brain. We're getting to close to defining our MVP.
We have just three weeks until our second internal demo day. This is important as the top 20% of startups get to participate in monthly mentor sessions, which translates into more dedicated resources to help you succeed as a "high potential" startup. This means they will select 20 out of 100 startups from our cohort. Half of our cohort arrived one month before us so they have a head start!
This week I also finally got to do some regular exercise. I went climbing and played soccer. Just like home! It's great to bring the sports you love with you. I'll have to take a picture of our "field" for next week's blog. I've never played soccer on pavement before!
High of the week: We have a logo we love, love, love!
Low of the week: I got a bit homesick on Friday. It doesn't matter how independent you are. It's tough leaving your other half behind.
Lesson learned: Actually do the thing you said you're going to do, because that thing you said is a smart thing.
I actually put these words on a "What we're going to do " slide during our intro pitch. Pete's job is to write code. Mine is to talk to users. And we are both responsible for taking care of our bodies so our minds work properly.
This is much easier said than done. What I'm starting to understand is that working as an entrepreneur is very different than any job I've had. At any given moment there's something that needs to be done so it's easy to get distracted doing and thinking about many other things that are not the most important thing. So I need to get back to my main task: talking to users.

Hi All -
My orchestra is playing this piece later this season. I found a Youtube recording and it's a crazy trombone part. I'm pretty sure that it's a rental part, so I'm wondering if there's a part out there in someone's library? I don't think that this is the kind of thing that can be prepared in the usual 2 or 3 weeks time that most music arrives in our library before the performances. The Fowler in the title is LA great, Bruce Fowler. He's on the recording and sounds fantastic!
I'd appreciate it if anyone has a part and can send me a copy for prep. work. Thanks!

Re: Zappa/Fowler - Revised Music for Low Budget Symphony Orchestra
A local group performed a suite of Zappa music last year. I don't remember the details but the cost involved was anything but low budget. Rightly so, perhaps, as the FZ connection brought out an impressively large audience.

It is easy to think of the various U.S. government agencies with trade control responsibilities as operating entirely separate from one another. Often, that can be the case. Industry professionals have learned through the process of Export Control Reform that many trade procedures are not at all synchronized amongst the respective agencies. A final rule published by the Department of State this year serves as a reminder that, in many ways, certain functions of the various trade agencies are inextricably linked, and these agencies rely on one another to perform certain tasks.
The final rule, published on January 3, 2017, amends the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR") to enable U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("Customs" or "CBP") to implement the International Trade Data System ("ITDS").1 ITDS is an interagency submission system created pursuant to the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 ("SAFE Port Act"). Implementing ITDS constitutes a shift in the way the Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls ("DDTC") will process imports and exports that are made pursuant to a DDTC license. For example, before ITDS, the re-importation of a repaired defense article originally exported for repair abroad under a DDTC license would require notification by the license-holder to both CBP and DDTC. With ITDS, the license-holder inputs data relevant to DDTC in CBP's system, eliminating the need for a redundant notification.
Specifically, submission via ITDS relates to the endorsement and decrementation by CBP of the five types of DDTC licenses: DSP-5 (permanent export), DSP-73 (temporary export), DSP-61 (temporary import), DSP-85 (classified transactions), and DSP-94 (goods controlled under the Foreign Military Sales program). License exemption claims are also submitted through ITDS. Within ITDS, the actual electronic submission is conducted through the DDTC Partner Government Agency ("PGA") message set. A CBP Notice published on January 11, 2017, provided important information regarding the actual entry of information for submission: "the PGA message set can only accept the data for one DDTC license or license exemption per one commodity line on the entry. That commodity line's entered value will be used as the DDTC endorsement value. So filers are required to 'split the commodity entry line' to associate a single entry line with a single license whose entered value will represent the DDTC value" [emphasis in original].2
The new procedures related to implementation of the ITDS will most noticeably affect the processing of DSP-61 and DSP-73 licenses, i.e., licenses that involve the import of defense articles. The amended ITAR no longer require physical, paper DSP-61 or DSP-73 licenses to be presented to CBP officers for decrementation at the time of import. Additionally, in the event that a DSP-61 or DSP-73 license was issued before the publication of the final rule, CBP requests that the license-holder submit a letter to Mr. Robert Rawls, CBP Outbound Enforcement and Policy Branch Chief, providing the following information: the license number, the total value of all prior import shipments incremented against the license, and the date when this information was recorded.3 Mr. Rawls can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Importantly, if an import pursuant to a DSP-61 or DSP-73 is made without submitting the required information in ITDS, then a correction can be made within 10 days of entry. However, if entry occurred more than 10 days before discovery of the error, the license-holder should consider submitting a voluntary self-disclosure ("VSD") to DDTC disclosing the error, which would constitute a violation of the ITAR rules concerning the proper processing of imports subject to a DDTC license. After submission of an initial VSD, the license-holder should contact CBP to correct the error within the ITDS. The point of contact at CBP for these corrections is also Mr. Rawls. Questions about the new policy can be directed to Mr. Rawls, via email at email@example.com, or phone at (202) 344-2847.
