Bauman: Cards have the right guy in OF in Piscotty

MILWAUKEE -- No disrespect intended, but Jason who?
Cardinals fans, accustomed to winning, have more reasons than usual for misgivings this season. But none of them should have anything to with right field.
Take a glance at these slash lines for two players through games of Tuesday night:
Stephen Piscotty: .323/.400/.497.
Jason Heyward: .220/.318/.286.
Here are the basic contentions: Heyward will improve those numbers. He may be pressing now, trying to justify the magnificent $184-million, eight-year free-agent deal he received from the Chicago Cubs. Over time, his talent level will take over and he will be back to something resembling his career norms.
On the other hand, Piscotty may be every bit as good as his current numbers show. All the available evidence indicates that, in his first full season in the Majors, he is the real deal. He is simply building on last season's performance when, over 63 games for the Cards, he went .305/.359/.494.
Cardinals fans were crestfallen when Heyward spurned their team to sign with the Cubs. Heyward seemed like a "Cardinal Way" kind of guy during his single season in St. Louis. Heyward added to the emotional burden of Cardinals fans by opining upon his arrival in Chicago that he had chosen the Cubs over the Redbirds because the Cubs had a brighter long-term future.
This was the kind of thing most Cardinals fans had never heard during their lifetimes. Not surprisingly, they were shocked and dismayed.
But now? Nobody can make lasting personnel judgments based on two months of play, but at this moment, the Cardinals are better off in right field than the Cubs are.
No, Piscotty is not the elite, Gold Glove defender that Heyward is. But he is a very capable outfielder.
"He's a much better defender than what people give him credit for," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Good jump, good arm, accurate arm, quick release, covers ground. I think he's a plus defender.
"He runs well. Would I say he runs like (center fielder) Randal Grichuk? I'd say no. But he can make up for it with jumps. Right field is a good spot for him right now. "
Piscotty is just 25, but even in his first half-season in the Majors he impressed the Cardinals with his level of maturity, both on and off the field.
"The way I explain it is, you walk out of Stanford (University) with an engineering degree you have the basic intellect," Matheny said. "But he's been able to translate that into baseball I.Q. It's just his ability to see the game, to be a good self-evaluator of where he is and also what he's doing well and not doing well. And also to try and pick apart what the opponent might do.
"He's a little bit ahead of the game, way ahead of the learning curve for a young player, to be able to see those things and then try and make the adjustments, be ready for them when they get there."
Piscotty missed the opener of the three-game series against the Brewers with what the Cardinals described as food poisoning. The culprit was tentatively identified as a bad burrito. But Piscotty came back Tuesday night with an RBI single and two walks in what turned into a 10-3 St. Louis victory. So he is also resilient.
As May ends, the Cubs have baseball's best record. The Cardinals, who had baseball's best record over the last three seasons, are in an uncharacteristic position, which is third place.
But one of the certainties with this club this year has been the play of Stephen Piscotty. No matter what Jason Heyward does from this moment forward, the Cardinals have an answer for the present and the future in right field.

23 Oct Don't tell your prospect the price
Why limit yourself by setting a price for your product? Tom Castley shows us how to maximise revenue.
In June we staged our first Sales Confidence conference at HereEast, in London's Olympic Park. We called it SaaSGrowth2018. We had over 200 SaaS professionals in the audience, watching more than 30 of London's foremost SaaS experts share their knowledge. Even if you couldn't make it, we want to share the inspiration and education with you through our SaaSGrowth2018 articles.
Tom Castley
'How to successfully navigate, negotiate and sell to FTSE 100 companies and enterprise accounts' was the title of one of the morning sessions. We were excited to welcome 5 sales experts to the SaaSGrowth stage to talk about how they do business.
Tom Castley is RVP at Apptio and a long-time friend of Sales Confidence. He spoke at one of our early events and brought the house down with his punchy, iconoclastic style. At SaaSGrowth2018, Tom shared with us 17 things that drive success. One of his tips was on the subject of pricing.
'If you're not sure about the price, don't give it to them. Ask them to give you a price.'
How to do it
When a prospect has no idea of what the price of your product is supposed to be, and you're not sure what they can afford to spend, your ideal situation is to get them to name a price.
This is difficult, but if you use the correct sales techniques, you can make it happen. The trick is to do it before you're in the negotiation stage. When you're actually negotiating a price, the prospect is likely to keep their cards close to their chest, but Tom says it's possible to broach the subject earlier.
'I say to them, 'I'm really concerned. We're halfway through here… just not seeing the value. I don't think you can afford it. If you were me, what price would you put on this now?'
Moment of truth
Once you've asked this question, you're at a crucial part of the sales process. This moment of truth is a reason that salespeople will often avoid trying to get the prospect to name a price. They're worried the prospect will suggest something ridiculously low, and it will be hard to come to an agreement after that. Tom doesn't see it that way.
'99 times out of 100 they put a way higher price compared to what I was thinking. After that, the skill is not to get excited!'
Take it to the next stage
Of course, even though the prospect has suggested a price that you would be overjoyed to close at, you know there is still work to be done. The prospect is likely to be suggesting a price that they believe to be low. There is room to drive the price up a little and close at an even higher level.
'What I do is sigh. (Ah!) That wasn't anywhere near what I was expecting (which is partially true. I'm not lying!). How can we build that up a bit?'
Once you're at this stage, it's very likely you'll close the deal, at a level where everyone is happy.
Over to you
What do you think? Do you use a technique like this to sell when you're not sure what price you should be charging? Maybe you'd like to share what you do in this situation? Let the Sales Confidence community know by posting down in the comments.

KTOO FM is a one of the most famous online radio station on Alaska. KTOO (104.3 FM) is a non-commercial educational radio station licensed to serve Juneau, Alaska, USA. The station is owned by Capital Community Broadcasting, Inc. The station airs public radio programming from the National Public Radio and Coast Alaska networks. KTOO also operates two other radio stations, KXLL Excellent Radio and KRNN. All three are members of the regional organization Coast Alaska and the Alaska Public Radio Network.
Founded by community volunteers in 1972, CCBI started service to Juneau on January 27, 1974, with a 10-watt radio station and heavy commitment to local service, community access and diverse viewpoints. Even before KTOO-FM signed on the air, community volunteers sent Juneau news stories by telephone to the three public radio stations in existence in Alaska. That tiny "network" eventually became the Alaska Public Radio Network.

Selling Radio Direct with Pat Bryson
Selling Radio Direct with Pat Bryson
In December, I spent two weeks in Pakistan. Now, this is not my normal location to spend part of my holidays.
I recently returned from the Radiodays Conference held in Milan, Italy. Over 1300 radio broadcasters from 50 different countries convened for 3 days to learn, discuss, interact and enjoy the hospitality of this wonderful city.
Selling Radio with Pat Bryson
Here's one of my favorite definitions of the marketing process:
"Marketing is the buying and selling of things with good will at a profit. If you can only have one, take good will because it is tomorrow's profit."
Your clients need to build relationships with their customers. They want to keep customers happy because:
How a mistake can be a golden opportunity. Selling Radio with Pat Bryson
Fact: It is five times more expensive to generate new customers than to keep existing ones. The Gallup organization tells us this, and we all know it to be true. We also know that we humans make mistakes that can sometimes upset our clients to the point that we might lose them. How do we keep this from happening?
I know it seems impossible that 2015 is less than four weeks away, but it is! Are you ready? Will 2015 be the year you meet and exceed your goals? Will it be your highest income year ever? TODAY is the time to make the changes in your daily activities that will lead to higher revenue and higher income for you. How we spend our "billable hours" will be reflected in our paychecks.
Time is money, literally.

But even after all those suffering
The tiny piece of hope

It will glow with such power
that it will illuminate the world

And the reality.

in new hope Tags: burden, depression, friend, goin writing challenge, grateful, hope, new hope
This is my 5th post in 21 day writing challenge hosted by Jeff Goin
I became a victim of severe depression in late 2012. There were multiple reasons for that. My life became so grim and I lost all the hope. There wasn't any bright sunshine nor any silver lining as far as I could see. It seemed like there wasn't anyone or anything that could help me. My parents, siblings all left me in the time of need. I felt helpless and cried day and night. The only thing in which I found peace was the remembrance of Allah. But I desperately needed someone to whom I could tell my pain and sufferings. In other words I needed a shoulder to cry on.
Then one day I received a message of my very close friend on face book. We studied in the same school from grade 5 to grade 9. She was always very supportive and sympathetic. I knew that she would understand my situation so I decided to tell her of my worries. She listened to me with patience and offered me the best advice. I felt lightening of my burdens after talking to her . My depression has been cured thanks to her wonderful dose of kindness.
I will remain grateful to her forever. For me she has been a life saver. She gave me a new hope, a new direction and most importantly she told me to remain positive no matter how hard the circumstances are. She also said that whenever I need any kind of help or just need someone to talk, I can always message her and she would be there for me.

I've been unable to fight my sleep lately.
Which is a good thing. Although it's almost 2 a.m. now and I'm awake only because I'm worried about all of the work I've got to finish up. For the past two nights I've been working on all of the assignments I didn't get to over break, searching magazines for a new blog series, scanning pictures and studying for tests.
But, long before I should be done for the night I get sleepy. At a normal hour, not the insomniac hour that I'm used to falling asleep in. And when I'm smart, I surrender and leave loose ends for the sake of my body.
I can't remember exactly when the shift began, but it's been shifting for a little while. A welcome respite from long, empty, restless nights. I've started sleeping earlier, and through the night. When I was in Tampa over break there were many a nights that I went to bed early; 10:00, 10:30 just because I was tired, which normally isn't reason enough for me.
I've never been a good sleeper, as confirmed by my friends after a late dinner out. They just shook their head at me, when at 1 a.m. they were going home to sleep and I was going home to write and find something to work on for four more hours.
But, the insomnia is calm now, coming only ever so often instead of night after sleepless night. I'm thankful for that, and scared to ruin it by pushing my body too hard and too long and falling back into the same vicious cycle.
And now, my eyelids are getting heavy, and instead of fighting, I'll let them close slowly over this night, leaving loose ends all around me.
Because this is not a fight worth fighting.

Sweet Surrender (48/90)

One of the many benefits of writing is your head gets emptier :) Exercise fatigues the body. The two together are a recipe for normality for writing freaks.
You will try, over the years, to do one or the other. You will get busy and you will neglect one or the other.
And always you will find the simple solution to life is write and run :)

That is so true. I think my head is emptier than it's been in a long while! But, because I hate running with a passion my life plan may just have to be writing and kickboxing :)

Researchers have been working for more than 20 years to develop regenerative medicine therapies which will repair or replace tissue or organ function that does not heal or repair on its own. This field, still in its infancy, holds great promise. To date, however, there's been a fair share of disappointment surrounding regenerative medicine, since after all these years it hasn't delivered cures for diseases like Parkinson's or type 1 diabetes. That said, regenerative medicine has had its successes, and one of them is in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Dean Tozer, Senior Vice President of Advanced BioHealing, Inc. answered questions for us about diabetic foot ulcers, Dermagraft, a therapy used to treat them, and a new community health education program called Heal2gether.

And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, Col 1:17-19 ESV
Question: If Jesus was only human, then how would He be able to hold together all of Creation during the time he was human?
Other versions render Colossians 1:19 as:
(KJV) For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
(WEBA) For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;
(YLT) because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,
Commenting from the KJV Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible states
For it pleased the Father,…. The phrase, "the Father", is not in the original text, but is rightly supplied; … that in him should all fulness dwell: by which is meant, not the fulness of the deity, though it is read by some the fulness of the Godhead: which seems to be transcribed from Colossians 2:9;
For now we will just assume the YLT probably conveys the right meaning. The focus of this post is on the human Jesus.
I.e. 'in him all things hold together.' and 'in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle' convey a similar meaning that is Christ has preeminence in all things.
Let us try to answer these questions by first considering the gospel records of Jesus which is a record of Jesus in his human form.
If we divide Jesus' existence into 3 life spans:
1. Before Human – Eternal logos
2. The Human Jesus – Poor/humbled
3. Post resurrection – The Glorified
In the second phase of his existence he was 100% human therefore could not share in the nature of the heavenly beings, even of angels.
Php 2:5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
Php 2:6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Php 2:7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
Php 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
The above verse shows he emptied himself even though he was born son of God and 'being born in the likeness of men' i.e. he was born 100% human. In this mortal state humans touched him, kissed him, spoke to him, beat him and people eventually murdered him. As humans he also grew, lived, aged, hungered and he died! The Gospel records show us his human nature!
See here Reason 33 of 100 [Jesus – A Morphē of God] for more on Phil 2:6
God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit could not be of the same type of beings when Jesus took on the human form. Does the holy spirit have a sleeping time or wakeup time? A time to go to the loo? A time to feel hungry? etc. Did the holy spirit at any point have have flesh and blood?
When Jesus was human he could only attain spiritual oneness to the Father by doing the Father's will. He himself was found praying and pleaded to 'his' God and was void of any divine nature. To be God and man at the same time was a Greeko-Roman concept with the myths of their Gods interacting with human in all sort of crazy ways.
Heb 2:14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things,
So when Jesus was human he became one with the human race in the physical sense but was one with God in the spiritual sense. We could also note he was one with his disciples in the bonds of unity, fellowship and friendship!
Heb 2:17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect,
' in every respect ' == 100% human!
'The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command.' (Heb 1:3)
If we think of the human Jesus – This obviously is not talking of his long hair and blue eyes! In the gospel again we do not see a Jesus living in un approachable light! But in the gospels is recorded a Jesus who teaches the Jews about their God! He is poor man who fasts, prays, teaches, argues, heals, loves, communicates, but is a mighty and enigmatic leader.
Also refers to earlier posts on the topic:
Reason 26 of 100 [How Angels manifest God – 'Beware of him' and how Jesus manifested God]
Reason 31 of 100 [Face of God: No man hath seen God – Analyzing Moses' and Jesus' encounter with God's face]
Reason 36 of 100 [Adam, who was a type of the one (Jesus) who was to come]
Heb 1:4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
Jesus had a 100% human existence (the gospels), he obtains a vine nature and is transposed from mortal to immortal, from corruptible to incorruptible. So during this phase post his resurrection he shares with the divine nature 100% and is no longer human! His humanity is now history!
The problem is neither Jesus, Mathew, Mark, John, Paul, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Holy Spirit coined the word 'Trinity'. So we will endlessly try to understand the trinity without understanding it. For instance the law and the prophets never conceptualised a Binity though there are many mentions of YHWH and Spirit and also the prophets were neither confused about the two and they did not invent formulas to describe their relationship.
From what I can see the Fourth Ecumenical Council is that of Chalcedon in 451, Patriarch of Constantinople presiding, 500 bishops, affirmed that Jesus is truly God and truly man, without mixture of the two natures. (Hypostatic Union)
TEN Points about Jesus representing God or being the image of God
1. Born through Mary and the Holy spirit. This is clearly a finite beginning of the human Jesus.
Mat 1:20,22 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
The Catholic faith of course teaches Jesus was a fully developed God at the age of One and therefore they also pray to Infant Jesus. The divine was trapped in a limited crying baby!
A gnostic belief was that the 'Christ' left the 'body' at the cross, i.e. Jesus was a God possessed human being! Etc.
Joh 17:8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.
That is Jesus passed the teachings from GOD to man, thereby was authorised by God and acted as a mediator between God and man as Moses once did. It is in this sense that he is the Image of God that is he reflects God spiritually not physically. The European view of the physical Jesus as God is illustrated with 'blue eyes', but that is hardly a reflection of the Father. Jesus reflected God's will in his human life.
3. The miracles he did are recorded thus:
Act 2:22 "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know—
Act 2:23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
Act 2:24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
"A MAN attested to you by God" is a fulfilment of how God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in Jesus. God did the miracles through Jesus as he had done miracles through Moses.
'God raised him up,' proving he was human and died and Jesus relied on his God to raise him up.
4. Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith
Heb 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
His role in salvation has two important points
a. He was the sacrifice
b. But he was an acceptable sacrifice in a human form on account of his obedience, and therefore as a human becomes and example to other humans.
The above verses from Hebrews shows that Jesus was himself human and someone who could see his OWN joy beyond the cross. As a fellow human he can become an example to us. He is is the second Adam as the first Adam failed but second Adam succeeded. The first Adam brought death while the second Adam brought LIFE. (resurrection)
So Jesus' life as a human goes beyond substitution as he is an example for humans. He is the template for humans to base their life upon. He is the living word of God in teachings, deed, action and sacrifice.
Do Not Grow Weary – Jesus our supreme example
Heb 12:3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Heb 12:4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
5. Jesus claimed that his Father was in control and what ever control he had was from the Father. Examples:
From the gospel of John:
Joh 5:30 "I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
A. Joh 5:30 "I can do nothing on my own.
B. I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
Again from John's gospel itself:
Joh 8:28 So Jesus said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.
A. I do nothing on my own authority,
B. Father taught me.
To summarise, From jesus' own mouth:
A. " I do nothing on my own authority,"
B. "Father taught me."
C. " I have given them the words that you gave me,
D. "I can do nothing on my own. "
E. " I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me."
Here we see a human Jesus behaving like any other human and giving all the glory to his God as his source. Therefore God was able to work through him i.e. Jesus reflected the will of his Father in his own human life.
The human Jesus has an independent will and existence to his Father but was united with his Father in obedience and submission.
Jesus was authorised by his FATHER to represent him on earth. Jesus' physical body is insignificant because that was mortal. Jesus also had a human soul. His dedicated life and example reflected and represented the Father accurately. 'the exact imprint of his nature' == 'word became flesh' = 'the WILL of God was made complete in a human'MAN.
6. Jesus taught us how we also could be united with the Father in purpose and unity:
a. "Fear not little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32)
b. Luk 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shally our heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
c. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
d. Joh 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
e. Joh 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
f. Joh 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.
Jesus declared plainly 'I love the Father' – himself following the first command of the scriptures. He was appointed to teach the truth about his Father to the people. Jesus did not preach Trinity and the formula of the Gods that his followers were soon to invent. Jesus taught us how to glorify his Father and our Father
7. Jesus himself was appointed by the Father
Luk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Jesus claims here that the Father appointed him.
The one who appoints is greater than the one appointed!
God choose Jesus and Jesus manifested or represented the Father to us. Jesus' mission was lead us to the loving Father. Christians have painted a very negative picture of the Father. In fact early gnostics declared the Old testament God as evil/false God! This sentiment is still prevalent amongst Catholic and Protestant Christians as Jesus takes the cake and is their favourite or even their only God.
8. Jesus called his God 'Abba, Father'
Mar 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
a. As Jesus calls his God 'Abba Father', we can also do the same
b. Jesus struggles as we do but is not overcome but overcomes – that is – he emerges victorious.
c. Jesus' will is divided from the Father's will at the moment of great trial
9. Jesus believed in his God and derived powers from his God
Mat 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Jesus was himself not in control in the human form, only his Father was. Jesus himself struggled in the human form. Jesus could use prayer as his weapon! Though he had unlimited power being baptised at the age of 30 by the spirit without measure he was always careful to mention God/Father as his source in his interactions.
10. 'WILL of the Father' is the key to understanding the manifestation of Jesus and his purpose
Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Note how Jesus teaches about his father and doing his will. If you want to be associated with Jesus then you have to believe in the God that Jesus himself believed in and worshipped.
So Jesus' life mission was to to teach us about his God and his Father.
Why Jesus was 100% human – Let us reason together
1. Luke 2:52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Jesus grew, if we reinterpret this that the human Jesus grew but the divine was already fully developed we get the confusion of a creature that is neither God nor man for that with is both God and man is neither God nor Man, These are theories developed to explain how people SHOULD believe in 'trinity'.
Gods don't grow, but Catholics accept the infant Jesus that is all knowing from the womb itself.
Since the word trinity is not found in the bible but that is taught as the anchor of faith so lot of contradictions and concussion emerges and most are told to accept it as a mystery or people come up with absurd explanations.
2. Hebrews 5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered
How does a God "learn" Obedience?
What did Jesus suffer from?
Are there lessons for us – i.e. Jesus as our example?
Jesus' example:
Even though he was God's son he was not pampered but tossed into a life of poverty and was tried by his enemies. But,Jesus did not rebel when challenged.
3. Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.
How goes a God get tempted/tried like us? If Jesus cannot be touched by sin by nature then are his temptation records all fake?
Jesus was tempted to steal or by lusts of women but the leaders of his time opposed him, criticised him, try to trap him and eventually murdered him. This causes stress and trials that Jesus had to overcome not through threats and taking matters into his own hands but he TRUSTED his Father's way to submit to these wicked men. The Faith of Jesus is exemplary.
Jesus' example:
The example again – yet without sin and pleasing to the Father. Jesus was the 'blameless' lamb Not by nature but by action and deed! Exhort: Let us also merge victorious like Jesus.
4. Luke 22:43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
This shows he was a weak human and fragile.
A God who requires strengthening? How can he control anything if another heavenly angel has to support him.
Do angels help God or humans?
If Jesus created the angels and now the angel has to offer him support, then how are '*all things are held together in him.* ' – at this point in time he himself needs to be held.
Jesus' example:
From by the example of Jesus, we hope God will also send his angel to protect us when we are also in dire distress.
5. Luke 22:44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
One God of the Trinity is in Anguish? Humans pray to God but do the members of the Godhead pray to each other?
Does the resurrected Jesus still do his daily prayers?
Does the resurrected Jesus go off to mountain tops to pray to his Father?
Does the resurrected fast for 40 days and 40 nights?
Jesus' example:
We also get desperate at times. Like Jesus let us approach our Father when an anguish and follow the example of Jesus.
Many Christians sing this song to Jesus – What a friend we have in Jesus
"Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!"
But Jesus himself prayed to his God and Father when he was troubled and in distress. Obviously the one prayed to is greater than the one praying.
6. Luk 7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
'He marvelled'? Was he just pretending not to know though his divine nature revealed it him.
Jesus' example:
Following in Jesus' ways – Let us have joy in things that matter most in love, kindness, purity, belief, etc. Coarse joking, etc let us not entertain!
´whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Php 4:8
7. Joh 12:27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
A God whose soul is troubled? Jesus is "omniscient & omnipotent" yet is troubled? Why is he so sad and troubled? This shows Jesus was human and shared OUR feelings! Yet he emerged victorious!
Jesus' example:
Jesus was frank – Amazing. Great people suffer from great EGO, but look at our Jesus, he does not pretend, he does not deny and he has the GUTS to share his feelings with his loved ones!
Imagine your pastor telling you he is feeling troubled then what is your response? What is your response? Was not Jesus the one who taught not be anxious, yet he is also anxious at the thought of the crucifix that was to shortly come to pass.
Here is how Jesus overcame: He took the matter to God and was instantly restonded to.
´Joh 12:27, 28 "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.
Father, glorify your name."
´Then a voice came from heaven: "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again."
8. Hebrews 5:7 tells us, "In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission"
'days of his flesh' = 100% human!
Jesus wanted to be saved from death? Why?
He made loud cries? Why?
Jesus was crying about his death? One God of the Trinity wanted to be saved from death?
Jesus' example:
Looking for a Stress free life? Jesus himself was not free of stress! (Compare with the cries of David in the Psalms)
Feeling stressed is not a sin and is human
But we can overcome like Jesus
Key to success: Reverent submission
The gospel records his reverent submission to his God and Father, but the emphasis of churches is not this at all as it violates the theology established for more than a thousand years.
So when children ask these questions – reason and direct readings of gospels are suppressed and replaced with terms not used in the bible such as Trinity, Hypostatic union, etc. There are verses that teach us that he is divine and human and trinity is not the right formula to reconcile this.
These verses show the human Jesus himself had 'faith' in God and therefore also taught about faith. [Or is it that the Jesus was just faking his humanity?]
9. Luke 22:42 "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."
Let us examine his prayer in a bit of detail:
He is trying to change the future he already knows is about to happen?
This is surely not what we expect from a God? A last minute effort to change the scriptures? Didi Jesus who orchestrated the whole become human and die suddenly have a change of mind?
Trinitarians apply a filter of omnipotence on the human Jesus and completely mar the gospel records.
Now can Jesus be in control of the universe at this juncture of life when he himself is pleading for his own LIFE!
This again shows he was 100% human not 100% God!
Jesus' example:
The human Jesus clearly possessed a will that sometimes came in conflict with his Father's will. Here is the conflict between human and God!
But Jesus struggled in Prayer and overcame. The example of Jesus is when in weakness pray and persist in prayer to overcome the flesh!
We can clearly see why Jesus can understand our difficulties but he will kind to us like he was to Peter and the disciples who deserted him.
- I.e. we can slowly progress to achieve Jesus life if we persist.
- But, Jesus will not judge us if we do not attain Jesus' gold mark standard!
10. Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
A God forsaken by God? Does the God Jesus have another God himself he worships?
A simple and straight reading of the gospels present us with a Jesus whose nature and feelings were human.
Jesus' example:
Now Jesus is quoting from a Psalm. Having considered it and understood it earlier on he can feel what those words really mean as he is hung in agony!
It is the moment in history where the preacher and teacher of righteousness is humiliated by his enemies! <— A difficult exhort to digest. Many of his followers would also later be left for their enemies to gloat over.
God had forsaken Jesus to be shamed and humiliated to his very enemies he spoke and cursed during his ministry. His enemies gloated over Jesus and mocked him. Jesus hung helplessly on the cross. This is the moment of ultimate test for Jesus as a human – who would not refuse his God and Father and submit to his will. This is the story of atonement not by nature but by obedience even to the point of death. Now starting with Abel the righteous have been murdered for their good deeds so also this Messiah who would shortly open the fountain of eternal life by obedience and faith. Adam as a son of God disobeyed and was expelled and Jesus as the second son of God obeys and brings eternal life. Jesus is then the Gold standard for humans to follow, so christians eat his flesh and drink his blood to 'take in' Jesus into their lives. Jesus is the way, implies Jesus' way.
God did not protect him from his enemies, hence those words. But Jesus would rise and be victorious.
Back to the original question:
'If Jesus was no longer God when He came to earth, how would He be able to hold together all of Creation' – Our original question from Col 1:17 at the beginning.
The obvious answer He does Not in the human realm of his existence as on the cross he himself being peril of loosing his own life cried out to his God. It is the moment in history where the preacher and teacher of righteousness is humiliated by his enemies! Only his Father was in control of the situation while he himself was getting slaughtered!
Clearly we are taught about the life of a human Jesus.
'hold together all of Creation' is the purpose of Christ that the Christ should have preeminence and that Christ should be exalted at the right hand of God in control of the universe! For the Father intends to exalt his son above all and give him control over the churches.
Also see:
53 of 100: Who created the universe? – The Father created the universe and begot his son
Every record of the authors of the NT only bear witness that he was fully human for the 33 years of his existence!
His most helpless state is seen in death. A core doctrine of Christianity is resurrection. Why do the Authors of NT make such a big deal about Resurrection of Christ's'. It is generally believed one goes to heaven when they die. So what was the big deal for a God to die and going to heaven?
Let us consider a few verses on the doctrine of resurrection:
* The prophecy:
"'You will not let your Holy One see corruption.' (Acts 13:35 ESV)
And this was finally fulfilled:
"but he whom God raised up did not see corruption."(Acts 13:37 ESV)
i.e. human bodies decompose at death but his Father interfered with the curse of mortality and brought about the gift of eternal life through Jesus our Lord! Why does corruption mean anything to a ever divine Jesus? This means he was not eternally divine but made divine after his resurrection.
The context of the Colossians verse being considered:
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
Why/How is he firstborn from the dead?
This Indicates he was the first of the human to be raised from dead to attain immortality and his followers will follow suit.
Here is the witness of the resurrection in Acts (The earliest church understanding of his resurrection and the early church emphasis. Resurrection as a doctrine itself is undermined by many church teachings):
1. this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. ***God raised him up,*** loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.(Acts 2:23-24 ESV)
2. Act 2:32 This Jesus ***God raised up***, and of that we all are witnesses.
3. Act 3:15 and you killed the Author of life, whom ***God raised from the dead***. To this we are witnesses.
4. Act 3:26 ***God, having raised up his servant,*** sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness."
5. Act 13:29 And when they had carried out all that was written of him, ***they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.***
6. Act 13:30 But ***God raised him from the dead,***
7. Act 17:31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by A MAN whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by *** raising him from the dead. ***"
8. 1Co 6:14 And ***God raised the Lord*** and will also raise us up by his power.
Act 3:26 ***God, having raised up his servant,***
Jesus – God's servant? One God a servant of another?
***they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.***
A dead Jesus!
While the Christian emphasis is a nn existent biblical word trinity and a God who came to die the emphasis of the gospel record is resurrection. The purpose of Christ was to open the gates of eternal life that Adam closed. This was achieved through obedience (not nature), for without obedience his sacrifice does not make sense.
To Conclue
Php 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Php 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
Php 2:10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Php 2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
a. Found in human form – i.e. 100% human
b. Exhibited extreme obedience ":becoming obedient to the point of death," i.e. what God expects from humans. You cannot beyond giving your own life! This is the statement of atonement – His obedience sets us free like Adam's disobedience bound us to death before. Not of nature but of action and deed.
c. Therefore, God has highly exalted him – the reward. It is ridiculous for one God of the trinity exalting another God of the trinity. Jesus is the first to be rewarded and his followers will get rewarded like Jesus in the age to come at the resurrection.
The emphasis is that he was a human and was exalted by God to become divine like his Father. He inherited heaven itself from his Father because as a human he overcame.
If you compare the gospel record of Jesus and the Revelation account of Jesus there is a huge contrast – the human Jesus of the Gospels v/s Exalted and immortal Jesus of Revelation descriptions.
Reading Colossians without verse breaks:
"In him all things hold together and he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent."
But the doctrine of trinity, its formulations and definitions are held very dearly even though Scripture contains neither the word Trinity, nor an expressly formulated doctrine of the Trinity. From the Old Testament the early church retained the conviction that God is one. But in the New testament a new God was born – but how can you have two Gods? SO is born the triad that emperor and church defended and surpassed any other idea as heretic.
Again dividing Jesus' existence into three phases we get
a. Jesus as the Logos, pre-existent and divine, from John's witness, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."[John 1:1]
b. Jesus born to human mother. Contrast this is to Adam also the son of God who had not mother but only a Father.
c. The Jesus of Acts and Revelation is a very different Jesus from the human Jesus who is exalted and in control.
Heb 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Jesus was the blameless man that God was looking for. His death showed forth absolute faith and obedience. He becomes a supreme example for the human race.His death redeems and brings forgiveness because that is the basis God accepts people. Jesus himself overcame the cross for the JOY that was set before him, despising the shame.
'Looking to Jesus,' <– Jesus is a saviour by his SUPREME example.
The disciples of Jesus then have a MASSIVE commitment to be like Jesus the man!

A comprehensive summary of today's judicial, legislative, and regulatory developments in agriculture and food. Email important additions HERE.
JUDICIAL: Includes nutrition programs, international trade, and water law issues.
UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Reinaldo ARTEAGA, Defendant-Appellant, No. 16-17306, 2017 WL 5474424 (11th Cir. November 15, 2017) involved an appeal by defendant of his sentence for conspiracy to commit food stamp fraud. Defendant argued lower court erred when it based a Sentencing Guidelines enhancement "on the amount he attempted to redeem in food stamps . . . instead of the amount actually redeemed." Appellate court observed that "[w]hen a defendant is convicted of fraud, the Guidelines add level enhancements based upon the amount of loss caused by the offense." Court concluded that defendant's argument "that the intended loss is commensurate with the amount actually received—conflicts with the Guidelines definition of intended loss, which is 'pecuniary harm that the defendant purposely sought to inflict.'" Affirmed.
In SCL BASILISK AG, Thorco Shipping A/S, Plaintiff-Appellants, v. AGRIBUSINESS UNITED SAVANNAH LOGISTICS LLC, Agribusiness United Inc., Agribusiness United DMCC Inc., Agribusiness United DMCC (Dubai) LLC, Sonada Agro Limited (UK) LLC, Defendants-Appellees, No. 16-15535, 2017 WL 5382747 (11th Cir. November 14, 2017), a ship owner and shipping company brought maritime action seeking an order "requiring posting of security by suppliers of agricultural commodities in aid of pending international arbitration in London, United Kingdom." Plaintiffs appealed the denial of their request. Dispute originally arose over the performance of a "charter agreement" wherein plaintiff was to carry grain from New Orleans to Portugal and Morocco. There was a delay in shipment after insurance coverage was not provided by defendant, as agreed, and plaintiff claimed damages. Issue concerned the meaning of the phrase "interim measure of protection" used in the applicable statute. Appellate court concluded that the applicable statute "implementing International Commercial Arbitration Code provision governing interim measures of protection by court did not grant authority to court to create new substantive remedies." Affirmed for defendant.
James C. QUIGLEY and Linda M.S. Quigley, Claimants, Objectors and Appellants, Richard L. Beck, Claimant, Counter-Objector and Appellee, Avista Corporation, Objector, DA 16-0629, 2017 WL 5436445 (Mont. November 14, 2017) concerned conflicting claims of ownership over four water rights for irrigation from a creek. Water Master issued a report dividing the four rights between the parties based on a ratio of the irrigated acres owned by each party. Water Court affirmed and plaintiff (Quigley) appealed. State Supreme Court cited Spaeth v. Emmett, 383 P.2d 812 (Mont. 1963) and observed that "the appurtenant water right is divided in respective amounts to each tract measured in proportion as the number of acres irrigated with the water right on the land conveyed bears to the total number of acres irrigated by the water." Court concluded that "[s]uccessors in interest cannot enlarge a water right beyond that which was conveyed." Affirmed.
S. 2130: A bill to establish within the Department of the Interior the Outdoor Recreation Advisory Committee. Bill referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
S. 2133: A bill to amend the Food Security Act of 1985 to authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into alternative funding arrangements with certain community irrigation associations and community land grants. Bill referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
H.R. 4409: Making supplemental appropriations for the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control projects and storm damage reduction projects in areas affected by flooding in the city of Jacksonville, Florida. Bill referred to the House Committee on Appropriations and House Committee on the Budget.

Topic Page: Gestational age
Gestational age is the time period in which the fetus grows inside the uterus. Measured in weeks, gestational age has implications for the fetus's growth, as well as cognitive and physical development. The gestational age of a fetus is particularly important when determining the potential negative effects of a fetal exposure to toxins or infection and has a direct impact when planning appropriate medical treatment for such situations.
Gestational age is divided into two periods: embryonic and fetal. Preceded by the embryonic period, the fetal period begins at the gestational age of Week 10 and continues until birth. Prenatal development benchmarks are linked to gestational ages. For example, at the gestational age of 7 to 8 weeks, all the vital organs have begun to form along with the formation of bones and cartilage. By the gestational age of Weeks 9 to 13, the genitalia have formed and the entire fetus weighs about 1 oz. By Weeks 21 to 23, the fetus's eyes have developed and the fetal heartbeat can be heard by stethoscope.
A normal pregnancy has a gestational age ranging from 38 to 42 weeks with a full-term pregnancy considered to be 40 weeks. Infants born at a gestational age of less than 38 weeks are considered premature and are susceptible to increased risks of morbidity and mortality. For example, the vast majority of infants born at 24 weeks will experience respiratory distress syndrome as the air sacs in the lungs have just begun forming.
Gestational age can be calculated before and after birth. Before birth, gestational age is calculated as the time from the first day of a pregnant woman's last menstrual cycle to the current date. Although often used to determine gestational age, health professionals recognize the potential for inaccuracies using this method due to variations in ovulation dates. Therefore, there are a number of other methods employed to accurately determine gestational age. One such method is the use of an ultrasound whereby growth can be determined through measurements of the head and abdomen. Another method is to determine the date of conception as per the mother's knowledge.
After birth, a newborn's gestational age can be measured using the Ballard Scale or the Dubowitz Exam. The Ballard Scale involves an examination of the neuromuscular and physical maturity of the newborn, while the Dubowitz Exam focuses on the neurological maturity of the newborn.
It is important to note that although gestational age may be accurately determined by the methods mentioned above, developmental growth at each week may vary from fetus to fetus. An estimated 3% to 10% of all newborns are determined to be small for gestational age (SGA) because their birthweight or length was determined to be less than the 3rd percentile. SGA newborns have higher incidence of learning disabilities, autism, and attention deficit disorder (ADD).

The UPC2/MS FFA analysis described provides a simple and fast method with a significant reduction in analysis time compared to alternative techniques such as GC/MS, which requires FAME derivatization. In addition, the organic layer extract containing the lipids can be injected directly into the system, omitting the need for solvent exchange for compatibility with reversed-phase LC methods.
- Demonstrates the separation of free fatty acid (FFA) species based on chain length and number of double bonds
- No derivatization is required, which results in easier and fast sample preparation and eliminates artifact formation
- Organic phase lipid extract can be directly injected onto the system, saving time and reducing cost per analysis
- Less than three-minute chromatographic separation is up to 10X faster compared to GC/MS
- Unlike GC/MS, low volatile and very long chain fatty acids (>24 carbon atoms) can be easily analyzed with UPC2

"I once again confirm that the body is that of Kim Jong-nam," Mr. Zahid said, contradicting the official North Korean position, which insists the man, killed Feb. 13 in a crowded airport terminal, was named Kim Chol.
Mr. Kim was assaulted by two women who approached him and smeared his face with a liquid that autopsy tests showed was the banned chemical agent VX. He was carrying a passport with the name Kim Chol.

Kim Han-sol, who is in his early twenties, was educated in Macau, Bosnia, and France, and has spent much of his life outside North Korea.
"Because of the multiculturalism that the school has and the diversity in the classrooms, it is easier for all of us to expand on our topics in the class and share our opinions on various topics," Kim Han-sol says. "And through that I think we can come to a better understanding with no boundaries, and I think that's a very crucial thing for building a more peaceful community." He speaks of everyone having "very similar core human values"; of his future hopes, he says, "I would like to engage in more humanitarian projects and also work to contribute to building world peace, and especially back home. . . . I've always dreamed that one day I will go back and make things better and make it easier for the people there."
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old—
This knight so bold—
And o'er his heart a shadow—
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow—
'Shadow,' said he,
'Where can it be—
This land of Eldorado?'
'Over the Mountains Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,'
The shade replied,— 'If you seek for Eldorado!'

If it were to avoid a nuclear war, sure let China have NK. Unless China would then become a threat to SK why would the U.S. need a huge presence in the area? We also need to consider the 20 trillion debt problem. I don't think the U.S. can continue having a massive military presence all around the world anymore. Nor do I think a conventional war with NK is in the budget either. Just spit-balling.

Yes there is an initial payment taken just after the start of your contract. This is usually equivalent to 3 of the monthly payments. So for example, if you have selected an electric car which will be £250 per month, the initial payment would be 3 x £250 = £750.
Orders will be subject to an arrangement fee, currently £199.00 +VAT

This is my main issue with them and one i have asked about but haven't had an answer. Why was i told they open bookings in January after the previous season has ended, then it turned out to be May, then it Was July 1st, then mid July.
If he had explained things and been open from the start i could have booked another hotel at a cheaper price, closer than what we are, but as a refundable hotel so that if everything did work out with the Capstone i could have cancelled it and gone with them.
To keep promising and promising until it was too late too book anything else leads me to believe they had done it deliberately so that i was in a situation where i had no option but to accept their ridiculous price. Maybe some people will fall for that but i was never going to.
Think I might be popping over to tripadvisor in a few days when I am back home. It's the dishonesty of the narrative that gets me. He could have told you what the rate was months before.
Time to harness the power of the internet and warn others.

I want you to see in your mind an old concrete floor that has not even been serviced. You can't expect that it will be looking brand new. Such a floor will have cracks here and there. There are different signs that you will experience on such a floor that will tell you that you need to improve on it. With time, concrete floors get worn out. Concrete sealers, however, exist mainly because of such reasons where they are used in adding protection to the concrete floors. What this means is that there is an extra layer of protection that is added to the floor. The essence of doing this is helping the floor to stay long as well making it look good in the eyes of anyone that may pay you a visit. You can get to start off your investment protection by sealing your concrete floor.
There is a high gloss that is provided through sealing. It will lock down any stain that might be from food spills or even drinks that spill on the floor. When your cat is angry you realize they can easily destroy the floor using their craws. Through sealing your floor you will add protection t your family members. The area around the kitchen is very sensitive and ought to have the first consideration when sealing the floor. Due to the warm temperatures there, the floor tends to be very moist most of the time thus being slippery. They become slippery add you can easily fall. A sealer that has a slip-resistant additive is such a great idea. The places that you need to this onto includes the bathroom and on the entryways.
There are different varieties in the market of the sealers such as the water-based sealers. It is a tough and durable sealer. The sealers takes a few years after its sealed. The performance of the sealer can run upto three years with great protection of the floor. There will also be another stain additive from on the floor that really helps in protecting the floor. With food spills and other chemical you therefore just need to clean the floor and no permanent stains get attached.
There is an easy and direct process that you get to have through the water-based sealer. In the market the sealers are fully formulated. There are many varieties that are already available and are ready to be applied directly. The application process is not complicated and its something one can learn really fast. There are different way in which this can be applied such as rolling t over or spaying it through. Will the UV light cause breakdown of the concrete sealers? This becomes a greater concern as you have the sealers being fully exposed to the UV light. The acrylic sealers are fully transparent to UV light.

They say that to know a man you should walk a mile in his shoes. A month ago I bought myself a new pair of shoes and beginning to walk in those new shoes has been traumatic. See, there is a simple, silly, little thing nobody tells you about changing: your old self is not gonna like it.
I think I have already told something along these lines in previous posts about resistance to change. This is something slightly different. As much as talking about someone's new and old self is silly – since each of us is constantly and unnoticeably changing – our mind builds a sense of continuity through repetition and relies on it to maintain a coherent self. This sense of continuity gets stressed when we change our habits, our clothes, our friends in a radical way, and apparently, as stupid as it sounds, my sense of self was relying heavily on my old shoes.
I've been walking in my old shoes for more than seven years. My old, black, ankle boots were not my only pair of shoes, obviously, but they were my mindless choice anytime I needed something that looked feminine, that was black and had medium heels. They were the Linus' blanket of my feet and I was happy to jump everywhere with them, so happy in fact, that their sole was consumed, their heels showed the bones and the leather… let's not talk about its poor conditions. So, after spending days looking at every possible shoe store downtown, I entered one and, after another good half hour of trying every possible black ankle boot I chose a pair.
I was wearing the new pair when the sale adviser proposed me: "let me remove the tag if you'd like to walk in those immediately."
I said "yes" knowing that that was it. It was the end of my long lasting relationship with my old boots. I let the woman put my old shoes in the cardboard box and cover them with a sheet of thin, white paper. I gulped, paid and walked out the store.
As soon as I was out the store, I started walking oddly. My feet hurt. My ankles hurt. My knees bent unnaturally. I wanted to walk back inside, cry at the sale adviser and ask her to refund me. But I didn't. Instead, I moved away from the store and then away from the shop gallery, telling myself that with every clumsy step I was taking I was scratching the soles of my new boots, making them non-refundable.
A big, black trash bin appeared ahead on the pavement. I moved towards it. I took the cardboard box out of the store bag and placed it against the trash bin opening. I thanked my old shoes silently, caressed the smooth surface of the box and pushed. The box fell inside the empty trash bin with a dull thud and I walked away almost in tears.
Luckily, after that I had to go back immediately to my store, change into my super comfortable ballerina shoes, and work for about four hours so I could distance myself quickly from that moment. Luckily, my new shoes are pretty great and I got easily used to them. Still… I am surprised at my own reaction. I just wanted a new pair of shoes I did not expect any drama. Regardless, in an unconscious way, I had chosen those shoes as an anchor for the image I had of myself and leaving them made me felt lost.
After that episode, I remembered a thing I was trying to forget and saw a thing I was trying not to see.
I had prepared tow bags of old clothes to donate to a charity more than three months before and they were still there on top of a drawer. I had a list of clothes which I rarely wear and which I'd like to sell inside my diary and photos of those clothes ready to be posted on the Facebook page Guildford buy and sell and I did not move a finger.
After another month, the bags, the list and the photos are still there. Sometimes I say to myself: "let's get rid of everything! Let's just look at the rubbish calendar and put everything out with the bins on the right day!"
But then I think that some of those things could be of use to a charity. Then I remember that other things are in really good conditions and could be sold. Then, I even think that I could wear some of those clothes and – you already know it – I do nothing.
I never was like this. When the decision was made, I threw away things. But in the last four months, I got clingy. Why is that? Am I reaching the core of my so-called old self? Am I becoming sentimental? Are those other subconscious anchors? Only recycling day will tell. In the meanwhile, sorry for the delay and thank you for your precious time!

Sweetheart, Sweetheart
Sweetheart, Sweetheart by Bernard Taylor
The Elementals by Michael McDowell was my first foray into Valancourt Books, a publishing company whose goal is to reprint classic, atmospheric horror novels (among other subjects). It was a great book, as was Robert Masello's Burnt Offerings, another of their reprints, so I've started paying attention to them. Sweetheart, Sweetheart is another of their reprints, and it's also the book Charles L. Grant thought was one of the best ghost stories ever written, so of course I had to read this one, too. I found it on special on audio book and got started on it right away.
David Warwick, an English expatriate living in the US, has a twin brother back in England. When he misses a birthday card from him one year, he gets a foreboding sense of dread and makes the trip back to England to see him. Once there, he learns that his brother and his wife died within days of each other, only a week or so before. He moves into the cottage that was left to him, and tries to learn the circumstances around their deaths. As he does, he finds secrets, history, and suspicion, all surrounding not just their deaths, but also the cottage in which they lived.
The novel is a slow-burn ghost story, with Taylor giving us the details of it piece by piece. Some may find it slow, but I appreciated the deliberate pace of the story. If nothing else, it built up the tension and increased the atmosphere. As the story progressed, I starting wondering how much of the story was real and how much of it was the haunting. By the end, I didn't have to wonder.
I had trouble with David's character, because a lot of the trouble he creates could have been avoided had he spoken to other people more. While trying to figure out the mystery behind his brother's death, he speaks plenty, but when he starts to suspect problems with his wife and his housekeeper, he clams up until things get out of control. He seemed passive-aggressive and whiny, but maybe that was the point. He didn't strike me as an unreliable narrator, but his character was annoying.
The first half of the book moves slowly, but isn't unimportant. Taylor has to go a long way back to set the scene for the book, and that involves going back to David's life in the US before he goes back to England. It helps create the atmosphere and the character of David, and even the tangents and red herrings are necessary to build the tension. It just might take a while before the reader is caught up in the events, but by the time he is, he won't be able to stop.
The narrator, Matt Godfrey, is wonderful. His voice is a bit raspy, but it fits the story. He captures the voices of his characters well, and adds just enough to the telling so he's not just reading the narrative, he's performing it. There are a lot of characters that make up the history of the cottage, and it's easy to lose track of who's who without going back to listen to previous chapters, but other than that quibble, there's no reason to read the book versus listening to the audiobook. The production is outstanding.
That the book is considered to be a classic is no accident. It's a perfect example of a Gothic horror novel and a modern horror novel. It eschews violence and gore for a subtler, more effective horror that creeps up on you as slowly as the story. Any horror fan should read this book; it's damn near perfect.
