wine swilling genealogist
Afterwards, while the students had their hangi lunch and played special games and the judges deliberated, Brighid and I had lunch together in the metropolis and walked along the beach, pictured above and below.
Today was the Anglican Church Fair. It's an important event on our calendar. Six years ago, when we'd just moved into our first home and there was no lounge furniture and no money to buy anything flash, we went to our this fair. We still have the couch and chairs from that fair, at a combined cost of less than $50. These days, we buy some sausages, a couple of bowls, sometimes some books or clothes. Today I bought my first whitebait sandwich of the season. Likely my last given the dismal catch this year. I paid $5 to fill a supermarket plastic bag with clothes and I've done very well out of that. I also bought a black wrap dress with a yellow print on it from the Sallies this morning for only $5. What's not to like about bargain Saturday?
Mostly, outside of work and parenting, I've been drinking red wine and doing genealogy. I've been gifted with some wonderful resources by another family member genealogist enthusiast. If I can just get written up what I've learnt and not let on my project before Christmas, I will be thrilled and, hopefully on Christmas morning, so will my parents.
I bought more chatham island forget me nots today, plus cosmos, coriander, basil, marigolds and thyme. My last thyme, which I deliberately planted in a hole in the wood edging a raised bed, has died through malnutrition.

GO PHOTO: Facebook Founder a Go Player?
Monday October 11, 2010
Is Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg a go player? Paul Barchilon found this evidence in a 2007 photo on the Fast Company website. Zuckerberg has been in the headlines a lot recently, thanks to his less-than-flattering portrayal in David Fincher's new film, The Social Network and Zuckerberg's $100 million contribution to Newark schools on September 25. We haven't checked with the American Go Foundation (AGF), but we're willing to bet that for a fraction of Zuckerberg's generous investment in education – say 1% — the AGF would be happy to expand its go-in-the-schools programs. That's assuming our friends in the chess world haven't already beaten us to the punch…

Beginning with the 2010 edition, the American Go Yearbook will be published as a full-color PDF with clickable links, rather than the hard-copy edition as previously. The American Go Association Board of Directors recently approved the change as a cost-saving move. "The AGA's budget has been under severe strain because of the twin financial impacts of declining membership and the loss of the longtime and generous Ing support for go in the U.S." said AGA President Allan Abramson. "Without the significant budget savings realized by eliminating the Yearbook printing and postage costs – which constitute the majority of the $14,000 in annual Yearbook expenses, we would be faced with drastic – and unacceptable — cuts in support for key events at the annual Congress as well as a range of go activities across the country,"said Abramson. "Yearbook and E-Journal Editor Chris Garlock has impressively demonstrated the advantages of new electronic publishing platforms, providing greater flexibility, active links, and faster publishing times," as demonstrated with last week's full-color PDF Special Report on this year's U.S. Go Congress as well as the similar WAGC Special Report earlier this year. Garlock noted that the Yearbook printing/postage savings with enable the AGA to continue financing quality Yearbook and EJ content for members, including new features like top professional Michael Redmond's game commentaries. The E-Journal also launched an RSS feed and daily short edition of the E-Journal several months ago that's been gaining in popularity with readers who want to stay on top of breaking go news from around the world. "At the same time, the AGA is looking into a 'print-on-demand' option for those members who prefer a hard copy of the Yearbook," Abramson said.
THE TRAVELING GO BOARD: Central Park, New York City
Sunday October 10, 2010
New York's Central Park, the most-visited city park in the U.S., seems to have everything — meadows, ball fields, tennis courts, three theaters, two lakes, a reservoir, a skating rink, a carousel, a zoo, even a castle. Frederick Law Olmsted called his creation "a democratic development of the highest significance" because it had something for everyone. As a longtime New Yorker, after decades of exploring the park, I thought I had seen everything. But recently I happened upon The Chess and Checkers House, a gaming pavilion donated in 1952 by Bernard Baruch. It stands atop a rock outcropping known as the Kinderberg, near the southeast corner of the park. Walk north from 59th street or south from 72nd street along the eastern park drive and you will see signs. With indoor and outdoor seating and views of the rink, the carousel and the dairy, it's an ideal place to while away a pleasant afternoon. I was disappointed to learn that only one go set was available, a small, poorly-made item that they kept in the store room. When I found that manager Catherine King is eager to promote any game, I returned with two full-sized sets, leftovers from early shipments of Ing equipment. King immediately set up a prominent display in the main playing area, along with a handout I provided, directing interested players to The New York Go Center and various online go resources, as well as several copies of The Way To Go. The Chess and Checkers House is open Wed-Sun from 10a to 5p. Anyone can use the equipment inside, or take it outside by leaving a $20 deposit or form of ID. No permit is required. At this point, to be sure of a game, it's BYOO (Bring Your Own Opponent), but it's the perfect place to take a break while exploring, or to meet a friend for a lunchtime game.

Former U.S. Champion John Lee is looking for participants in a survey of go players. "I am currently conducting a study about the relationship of go with other mind sports," Lee tells the E-Journal. Lee was an active US go player "until changes in life took me away from the scene. I learned go in Chicago when I was 12 and became the US Champion when I was 16. I represented the US in many international tournaments including the World Amateurs, World Pairs tournaments, the Fujitsu cup and was invited to the European Ing Cup as the US Ing Cup Champion." Lee's survey takes about 2~3 minutes to complete, "and I'm hoping to collect completed surveys from 1,000 go players," so he urges go players to also pass it out to their go-playing friends. "Thank you very much and I hope to see you all again back in the go scene sometime soon."

The International Conference on Computers and Games (ICGA) Computer Game Olympics, which included a computer go championship, were just held in Kanazawa, Japan. There were 9×9, 13×13, and 19×19 tournaments, with professional commentary and an exhibition match against a pro on Saturday, the last day of the conference. Many Faces of Go won the 13×13 tournament; stay tuned for results of the 9×9 and 19×19.

Neil Moffatt reports that he's developed an "HTML5 canvas based go game viewer and rudimentary editor." Says Moffat, Secretary of the Cardiff Go Club in Wales, UK, "It embraces ideas such as access to key moments in games via a list of clickable position descriptions, and a list of alternative move sequences by description." The site includes games for beginners, josekis, "guess the next move" and game commentaries. In most games, a list of key game positions is presented. Click on 'Black has now created a large moyo', for example, and you will be taken you to that exact board position. Moffatt adds that "The site as it stands is in essence a kind of go blog, but it may develop beyond this" and notes that it does not work with Internet Explorer. "It may or may not be palatable to a large audience," he says, "The user testing to date seem to be relatively happy with it."

Perennial champion Changlong Wu 7d was joined on the Triangle Memorial Tournament's winner's podium by Jeff Kuang 5d and Jimmy Yang 4d as co-winners of the Triangle's Open section. The tenth annual edition of the Triangle Memorial Tournament was held in Umstead State Park in Cary, North Carolina September 25. A total of 32 players from North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland spent a summery day playing in the park until sunset, with a picnic lunch provided by the Triangle Go Group. Following tradition, all the entry fees were returned to the players as prizes, which were augmented by a generous donation of books and certificates for Chinese language and cultural lessons from the Confucius Institute at North Carolina State University. Winner's Report: Section A (1-2D) was topped by Joseph Contarino and Craig Garrett, both 3-1. The only perfect score of the day was recorded by Andrew Zalesak in Section B (3-6k), followed by Alex Panaccione at 3-1.

Reporting from Moscow — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday announced that he had ordered highway work crews to stop cutting down trees in a renowned nature preserve outside Moscow. The statement came just hours after leaders of the ruling United Russia Party had urged him to reexamine the controversial project.
Despite previous government and judicial approval of the construction effort, the project "demands additional analysis," Medvedev said in the statement on his video blog.
The fate of the Khimki forest has become a flash point in recent months as civic groups have organized increasingly large protests against the project, a badly needed highway linking Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Activists reacted to Medvedev's statement with cautious optimism. "The war is not yet won, but it's a good claim to victory," said Yevgenia Chirikova, a young businesswoman and organizer of the Khimki opposition.

Located in one of the only remaining grand mansions in the city, the Top Hat restaurant was once a school and now has grown to become an opulent locale brightly colored and furnished with various antiques. As for the menu, it offers spectacular traditional Malay, Thai, Western, and vegetarian dishes. However, in case you become enamored with a dish, be aware that three months down the line, this dish will most likely not be available. Top Hat likes to mix things up by changing its menu every three months.

Special to the RTT
After returning from a brief trip out east last December, Carol, 80, came home to find a bright red Christmas stocking filled with gifts at her front door.
This year, thanks to a donation of $1,500 from Caesars Windsor as well as continued support from Amherstburg and LaSalle residents, Carol will be one of over 300 seniors to receive a gift from the Stuff-a-Stocking for Seniors program.
The Stuff-a-Stocking for Seniors program, which is organized by Amherstburg Community Services (ACS), collects small gifts from the community and puts them into Christmas stockings that are then delivered to seniors in Amherstburg and LaSalle. According to ACS executive director, Kathy DiBartolomeo, the aim of this program is to reduce the feelings of loneliness and isolation faced by seniors.
"Senior loneliness and isolation is a serious problem that can be highlighted during the holidays," DiBartolomeo said.
DiBartolomeo continued by saying that the contribution from Caesars Windsor, which will also be sending staff to help pack and sort the stockings, makes a huge difference.
"I cannot tell you just how much we appreciate their contribution – this will allow us to help more seniors than ever before," she said.
After her experience last year, Carol says that the impact of this program is certainly felt by individuals like her.
"It actually made me cry because I had lost my husband only months before that, so the holidays were a difficult time for me," Carol explained. "It was truly wonderful to open that up and see all the love that was packed inside. I'll never forget it, and I made sure that every item in that stocking went to good use."
ACS will be collecting donations for the program until Nov. 29. Small gifts such as gloves, socks, scarves, toiletries, small treats and candies, Christmas stockings, and homemade holiday cards, as well as monetary donations are needed and can be dropped off at ACS' office at 179 Victoria St S in Amherstburg.
Drop-off boxes will also be set up at the Vollmer Complex in LaSalle and the Libro Credit Union Centre in Amherstburg. Seniors can be signed up by themselves or by others by calling ACS at 519-736-5471.

Kristen + Mark | June Fort Collins Wedding | Tapestry House
Flowers. Kristen really wanted flowers for her Tapestry House wedding to Dr. Mark. Who to help but Sharon from Best Day. It was floral eye candy around every turn. Fort Collins was a central rallying point for the couple whose family & friends came from all over to enjoy the day. I should say 'enjoy the weekend' as they were bunkered up at Tapestry House for several days.
Despite raging wild fires making international news less than a couple of miles from the wedding site, you'd never know to look at the images. A hearty thank you to the firefighters for keeping the flames away from Laporte (which was on pre-evactuation notice just days before Kristen & Mark arrived).
A dramatic moment during the perfect-weather ceremony was the ring warming. Each guests holds the ring for a moment, while adding a positive wish for the couple's new future. Kristen & Mark opted to attach the rings to a pillow to make them easier for all hands to pass around. It's a subtle way to make a 100 guest wedding seem more intimate. Reverend Ritchie pulled all the elements together in his usual warm & smooth way.
We came to party
After some quick family photos, the reception quickly got underway. Behind The Scenes provided an excellent plated dinner, the cake was by Nancy Best and DJ Brian from MC Johnny Cruz ushered in the first dance, and fun the went late into the evening. At some point, the groomsmen's shirts came off (but ties stayed on), and the the girls were sliding across the dancefloor. My lighting assistant asked, "did the bride just slide across the floor in her wedding dress?" Nice. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" has shown up on a few internet lists for 'Best Wedding Party Dance Song' and there are always a number of wedding guests who seem to instinctively know exactly all the moves — alcohol or not. All the finishing touches were provided by Flexx Productions.
Are you planning a Tapestry House Wedding? It would be my honor to document it. Please click the camera below to see if I'm available on your day.

I've always been in love with the little Waldorf fairy peg dolls that are all over crafty Waldorf blog world, but we've never really given them a try. Until this week!
Ours are very simple, but Eleanore, Adelaide and I each painted one with autumn colors of watercolor paint.
Then after they were dry, we glued on acorn tops and made little faces.
Eleanore must have been inspired by the Fairy Houses book we bought at a library book sale a few weeks ago, because she immediately built a little house for the fairies out of rocks.
The acorn cap is their bowl of food. And she even found some soft lambs ear for their blanket.
While she played with the fairies and their new home, and Adelaide napped in the swing, I sat with an iced coffee (almost too chilly for those in the afternoons already!) and the book All Year Round, which I checked out of the library.
I want to like this book, but I just don't. I keep checking it out though, hoping something will jump out at me. I much prefer the Little Acorn Learning and Seasons of Joy guides so much better. I set the book aside and knit on Adelaide's longies instead. I needed a stitch marker, but didn't feel like getting up to go back in the house, so I improvised…

Citizens Initiative for saving water bodies in Hyderabad
Lake Protection Committee
Lakes contribute significant additional recharge to ground water due to infiltration, but however, urbanization has led to loss of water bodies, resulting in increased runoff. There is rapid depletion of ground water level, and the worst ground water scenario is being experienced by apartment complexes. An additional problem is the pollution due factors like idol immersion during Ganesh Chaturthi, the washing of clothes in lakes, and indiscriminate dumping of debris.
A state level committee exists in all the four cities which was the result of the Supreme Court ruling on action for restoration of the lakes. In Jaipur, Bhopal and Ahmedabad they are called the Lake Conservation Authority (LCA); in HYD it is called the Lake Protection Committee (LPC). The role of the committee is to supervise the ongoing lake protection activities.The committee is constituted with high powered government officials. The committee was formed after the Court orders on the Lake Environmental matters, with the intention of integrated approach towards the urban lakes and other related issues pertaining to the health of the lakes such as drainage, water supply, housing and general development in
the city. The committee was meant to allow a platform for local city management bodies to deal with the coordination and conflicting issues. Since, the committee is an advisory body with no statutory powers; their actual role is debatable and doubtful amongst the experts and environmental and social activists.
The Lake Protection Committee was constituted in order to cater to the protection of lakes in the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region. It is involved in the administration of the protection and improvement of lakes and their catchments. The Metropolitan Commissioner of HMDA coordinates all the activities of the Committee.
Government of Andhra Pradesh vide G.O.Ms.No. 157, MA&UD(I1) Department, dt. 6-4-2010 have constituted Lake Protection Committee with the following members for preservation and protection of lakes in Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority area and the Metropolitan Commissioner, HMDA is the Chairman of the Committee.

Identity theft is real, and with all the accounts affected by the Equifax breach, it is imperative that we as consumers protect our identity. Your personal information is a valuable resource for identity thieves, scammers, and even corporations. Data breaches of customer databases and payment processing systems at retailers highlight the importance of protecting your privacy and making sure companies with which you do business do the same.
Identity thieves steal your personal information to commit fraud. They can damage your credit status and cost you time and money to restore your good name. You may not know that you are a victim of identity theft until you experience a financial consequence (mystery bills, credit collections, denied loans) down the road from actions that the thief has taken with your identity. Some people may hire Security guards to ensure safety not just online but in person too, this is normally done for a reason, perhaps where they live or due to an event. This is not the only way that people go about protecting themselves from danger, and many people instead choose to install something like a Security Camera System to increase safety. Follow these tips to protect yourself.
- Secure your Social Security Card. Don't carry it in your wallet or write your number on your checks. Only give out your social security number when absolutely necessary. In the industry, I work in, it amazes me how many people are ready and willing to give you their social security number versus their account number.
- Protect your pin. Never write a PIN on a credit or debit card or on a slip of paper in your wallet.
- Watch out for "shoulder surfers." I have no problem telling the person behind me in line to please back up as I enter my card information, and you shouldn't either. Yes, I have been met with some nasty words or looks, but at the end of the day, it is my responsibility to protect myself. Sheild the keypad when typing in your PIN number.
- Be skeptical. Don't respond to unsolicited requests for personal information (your name, date of birth, social security number, or bank account number) by phone, mail or online.
- Collect mail promptly. Ask the post office to put your mail on hold when you are away from home more than a day or two.
- Pay attention to your billing cycles. If bills or financial statements are late, contact the sender.
- Keep your receipts. Promptly compare receipts with account statements. Watch for unauthorized transactions.
Beware of synthetic identity theft
Synthetic identity theft is a more complicated version of identity theft. In traditional identity theft, the thief steals all of the personal information of one person to create a new identity. With synthetic identity theft, the thief steals pieces of information from different people to create a new identity. For example, the thief may steal one person's name, and use someone else's address to create a brand new identity. The thief can then use this fraudulent identity to apply for credit, rent an apartment, or make major purchases.
Unfortunately, synthetic identity theft is difficult to detect because the fraud isn't directly tied to just one person. Fraud alerts and monitoring services would not be able to stop or prevent these scams. Also, children's social security numbers are often targeted in these frauds, because no one would be checking their credit scores until they are much older.
While you cannot prevent synthetic identity theft, you should still get copies of your credit report to check for accounts you did not open. Also, contact the credit reporting agencies to ask if there is a fragmented file ( a sub-account that uses your social security number but not your name) attached to your main credit file. If this is the case, you may be the victim of synthetic identity theft. Report all cases of identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Spear Phishing
Spear phishing is another version of phishing where the scammer already has some of your personal information, often a result of hacking another company's network, The scammer will then send you an urgent email that seems to be from a company that you already do business. The message will require you to click on a link that directs you to a fake, but realistic, webpage to confirm an account number, or install malware on your computer. Remember, legitimate companies never ask for your password or account number via email. If you are not sure whether the email is trustworthy, call the company directly and forward the email to the firstname.lastname@example.com.
Some other things you can do to protect yourself from identity theft is tear up or shred unwanted receipts, credit offers, account statements and expired cards to prevent dumpster divers from getting your personal information. Store personal information in a safe place at home and at work. Install firewalls and virus-detection software on your home computer. Create complex passwords that identity thieves cannot guess easily. Order your credit report once a year. Check it more frequently if you suspect someone has gained access to your account information.
Report Identity Theft
If you are the victim of identity theft you should:
- Report it to your financial institution. Call the phone number on your account statement or on the back of your credit or debit card.
- Report the fraud to your local police. Keep a copy of the police report, which will make it easier to prove your case to creditors and retailers.
- Contact the credit reporting agencies. Ask them to flag your account with a fraud alert, which asks merchants not to grant new credit without your approval.
The FTC recommends that you create an identity theft report if your ID is stolen. This report will help you deal with the credit reporting agencies and companies that extended credit to the identity thief using your name. First, report the crime to the FTC and print a copy of the details. This detailed report is also called an ID theft affidavit. Then file the crime with your local police department and get a copy of that report. Together, your ID theft affidavit and your police report make up your ID theft report.
Protect Your Privacy
Your personal data is always being shared. Companies, known as data brokers, compile information about your income, family size, email addresses, stores and websites you visit, the brands you buy, credit cards used, hobbies, and your demographic information to create a profile about you and your lifestyle.
Some of the information you give willingly, but other bits of your personal information are collected in ways you may not realize. Data brokers often collect location-based data from the GPS on your mobile phone, the fitness tracking bracelets that we wear, or from certain apps. These brokers then analyze all of your information, develop scoring and models to help them understand your behavior. Then they sell these consumer profiles to retailers and marketers.
Retailers use your information to offer targeted special promotions, customize the ads you see, and even the prices you are charged for items. While this can be a bonus and help you get good deals, it all comes at the cost of your personal privacy. Unlike credit reports or scores, you cannot access or review the data files that have been created about you, or even know the data brokerage companies you should contact to correct inaccuracies.
These data reports can also result in discrimination, where some consumers are only targeted with high-interest loans or inferior financial products. There are steps you can take to protect your privacy.
- If you apply for store loyalty cards, do not include your full name so that it, and your purchase behavior, cannot be connected to your other consumer profiles.
- Do you want to keep your purchase behavior private? Consider using cash rather than electronic payment options.
- Maintain a separate email address for your coupons and promotions from retailers.
- Be careful about what you post on social media. Data brokers may scrape information you post to enhance the information that they have on your consumer profile.
- Disable cookies when shopping online, to prevent companies from tracking your online browsing behavior.
- Beware of using cell phones in stores or using public Wi-Fi in a store. By using these networks, stores may know which items you looked at and which aisles you visited.
- Look for privacy statements on websites, sales materials and forms you complete. If a website claims to follow a set of established voluntary standards, read the standards. Don't assume it provides the level of privacy you want.
- Ask how your personal information will be stored and used.
- Only provide the purchase date, model and serial numbers, and your contact information on warranty registration forms.
- Opt-out if you don't want the company to share your email address with other companies.
Check with your state or local consumer agency to find out whether any state laws help protect your privacy. Some companies and industry groups have also adopted voluntary policies that address privacy concerns.
Finally, remember privacy is no longer private anymore. They, whoever they are, are watching. Take the necessary steps to protect your identity and your privacy.
on Protect Your Identity
My aunt used to keep a sheet of paper folded up in her wallet with ALL of her passwords on it. I used to cringe every time she pulled it out.
It's so important to be aware of how to protect your privacy and your identity. I'm also shocked by how many people I know who give our their SIN numbers and personal details without thinking. Being skeptical over the phone is particularly important during tax season since there are so many scams posing as governmental agencies.
My parents are the smart ones, always using cash. And all this time I thought carrying cash was more dangerous. I also like the idea of the wallets with the material able to block scanners/readers.
We exercise caution and protect our private information to the best of our ability. It is scary to be a victim of this kind of scam! Thanks for the heads up on new scams. I will be discussing this with my children.
My husband works in security for IT work and so I am set when it comes to this but these tips are awesome and so true!
Myself and J have both been subject to this. These tips are a great must have.
Sorry I laughed at the "shoulder surfers" as I do the same as you do. There was once in a coffee shop I was paying at the till and guy behind me was obviously peeking and I outwardly exposed him by saying "OMG sir I can feel you breathing down my neck!" hahaha!
Sigh, I wish we could all just listen to warnings because the crooks are going hard and we have to do the same

Toronto Fashion Week's abrupt cancellation Thursday has left many in Canada's fashion industry reeling with disappointment, but the news isn't unexpected.
Although the fashion week was the second largest in North America, Toronto Fashion Week (TFW) was pulled because organizers say there was no local funding to keep it sustainable. Up until 2015, World MasterCard was a major sponsor of TFW.
The Insider Perspective

Robin Kay originally founded TFW. When TFW was sold to IMG, Kay says she believed IMG's experience managing fashion weeks internationally would prove to be an asset in taking it to the next level. Instead, the event remained stagnant.
"The week had not evolved over the last four years, while fashion consumption and consumer demand has changed greatly," Kay told HuffPost Canada Style in an email. "Not unlike the Canadian film industry, unless we support our own artists, it simply becomes impossible to sustain."
Glen Baxter, a former host of CTV's InFashion, was saddened by yet another fashion week upheaval, referencing Montreal Fashion Week's merge with the city's Fashion + Design Festival in 2013.
"First Montreal, now Toronto...this is a huge blow to the Canadian fashion industry, not only for our designers, but also for the many models who gain valuable experience on that catwalk," Baxter wrote in an email to HuffPost Canada Style, adding that he hoped a "passionate Canadian hand" would take the hand of a future TFW.
Fashion writer Sabrina Maddeaux told HuffPost Canada Style calling off TFW was a huge setback for the community.
"Toronto Fashion Week is the biggest fashion showcase in the country and is responsible for introducing many emerging designers to consumers, media and stylists," she said.
"This is a huge blow to the Canadian fashion industry, not only for our designers, but also for the many models who gain valuable experience on that catwalk." — Glen Baxter
Madison Schill, a former model-turned-writer, told HuffPost Canada Style the cancellation wasn't a surprise, and TFW itself was more media circus than an incubator for emerging talent.
"We consistently held Toronto Fashion Week too late in the season to allow for buyers to truly react and attach themselves to a label, so at a point, the shows simply became a platform for social media advertising and general industry networking," Schill wrote in an email to HuffPost Canada Style.
"The spectacle of a fashion show naturally attracts those who love to be seen, but without the presence of strong power players to take our work seriously beyond the week's festivities, we find Instagram likes and comments championing over real and enduring economic growth."
Sponsors 'Shocked' By Cancellation
According to a spokesperson for Maybelline New York — a major sponsor of TFW for recurring years — the company did not see the announcement coming.
"While we are shocked by the news, we feel that there are many opportunities to continue to support Canadian fashion and translate the beauty trends from catwalk to sidewalk for the consumer," Genevieve Ringuet, Integrated Communications Manager from Maybelline New York and essie Canada, said in a statement to HuffPost Canada Style.
Jack Ingraham, the general manager of Redken Canada, Toronto Fashion Week's official hair sponsor, says the brand is "excited about the future of fashion in Canada and what's to come."
The Designer POV
Designer Sebastian Guarin had previously designed his clothing line, Atelier Guarin, for the Mercedes-Benz start-up competition, which was co-sponsored by IMG World.
Winning the competition came with a $30,000 bursary and a runway show in Toronto. An IMG representative told CBC the organization will no longer be sponsoring the competition.
Once Guarin heard the news about TFW, he knew all the months of planning he had put into a debut on this year's runways would be wasted.
"This shakes up my own plans, and also many other designers working on their collections.... we need to find new solutions to making a bigger impact on the world with Canadian Fashion," Guarin told told HuffPost Canada Style. "I hope this gets resolved and we don't just end Toronto Fashion Week forever."
Designer Som Kong debuted his clothing line at TFW 2015. In a Facebook post, Kong paid tribute to TFW with a picture of him with model Winnie Harlow.
For Kong, TFW was a financial setback, but one that he learned from.
"After showcasing my collection, my gut knew something was off," Kong wrote in his post. "TFW did not guarantee any form of financial return, if anything it had put me in hot waters. And I am so thankful for that because I will never forget through those tough experiences and challenges."
Why Did Fashion Week Fold?
Style and beauty blogger Justine Iaboni says that everyone in Toronto's fashion industry is to blame for the cancellation.
"We can't point fingers, we need to look inward and really ask: What am I doing for the industry? How can I make a difference? It's time," Iaboni told HuffPost Canada Style.
"At the end of the day I can't say that this wasn't in the foreseeable future. It was bound to happen sooner or later ... It's analogous to what's happening to the Canadian fashion industry. If we keep shitting on it and looking for instant gratification, and only celebrating designers who make it abroad, eventually the entire system will crumble."
Some believed the cancellation signaled a lack of passion for local fashion.
IMG pulling out of Toronto Fashion Week says alot about the fashion business in Toronto— Nickesha McFarlane (@hionfashion) July 8, 2016
Toronto Fashion Week cancelled; with Montreal Fashion Week and Ottawa's now dead, fashion in Canada is on life support #Fashionweek #Toronto— JamesCummins (@JamesCummins) July 7, 2016
IMG Called Out For Lack Of Support
Since 2012, TFW has been run by IMG Canada — its parent company, IMG World, manages fashion weeks internationally in New York, Sydney, and Tokyo. IMG took on the reins after non-profit organization Fashion Council of Canada sold TFW to IMG World after producing it for 13 years.
Twitter users have voiced criticisms of how IMG Canada ran the fashion week.
Truthfully? I'm not surprised. Where was the international support IMG promised? Where was the legit coverage? What did we benefit? Not much— Christopher Turner (@Turnstylin) July 7, 2016
IMG never cared about Canadian fashion. Never cared about the designers. They only care about raking in sponsorship $$$. #TFW— Sabrina Maddeaux (@SabrinaMaddeaux) July 7, 2016
IMG has quit Toronto Fashion Week. They were about as 'good' for Canadian industry as private equity investors.https://t.co/KI73Uj9S7O— Nathalie Atkinson (@NathAt) July 7, 2016
What's Next For Toronto's Fashion Scene?
Fashion Magazine editor-in-chief Bernadette Morra seemed optimistic about the news, and took to Twitter to call for more organizations to run their own local fashion programming.
IMG pulls the plug on Toronto Fashion Week. But this opens the door for others. I'm talking 'bout you @FSNCollections— Bernadette Morra (@BernadetteMorra) July 7, 2016
Others also believe the cancellation could be a blessing in disguise ...
Toronto Fashion Week needs a leader with the right vision to execute a world-class event as well as compassion for the local industry #TFW— Daniel Carman (@DCRainbowJeans) July 8, 2016
Sad to hear that IMG is quitting Toronto Fashion Week. Seen so many versions of this event over the years & no doubt more to come.— Lisa Tant (@LisaTant) July 7, 2016
Stylist Talia Brown is hopeful that Toronto's fashion scene can band together and propel Canadian fashion forward in another way.
"We need to find any and all the ways we can support or local talent. Canada is ready to make a mark in the world of fashion. There are so many talented designers," Brown told HuffPost Canada Style. "If designers are giving the right tools to succeeded they will do so."
For Kay, TFW's demise could be an improvement for local industry.
I know it is inevitable from every viewpoint for a new event to be built for this vital contributor of [fashion] culture and commerce in our own country," Kay said. "We are in a massive fashion disruption and the timing is perfect for an event that we all benefit from. "

The very notion of Gary Oldman as an Elvis impersonator sounds like it alone should be worth the price of admission for "Guns, Girls and Gambling." Alas, his turn is not as wildly committed as one might hope, and the movie overall is similarly a promising letdown.
A strangely anachronistic crime and double-crosses picture — is there something more current to rip off than '90s Tarantino? — the film is needlessly flat, never much achieving the kick and surprise it aspires to. A man who introduces himself as John Smith (Christian Slater) finds himself somewhat stranded at an Indian casino, where he passes the time by entering an Elvis impersonation contest.
This sets him on a course that intersects with the robbery of a rare Native American artifact and a long-simmering feud between the casino owners and a local power broker (Powers Boothe), as well as a mysterious female killer (Helena Mattsson). Besides the underworld setting and needlessly tricky timeline, drawing out the Tarantino connection is the fact that Slater and Oldman were costars in the Tarantino-scripted "True Romance," with Slater wearing Elvis-style sunglasses as he did in that earlier film just to make the point extra clear. (There's also even a signature Tarantino from-inside-a-car-trunk shot.)

Have you ever seen military or war movies where the prison commander lines up all the prisoners and informs them that he will shoot down one at a time unless the specific prisoner guilty of whatever steps forward and confesses to whatever?
Kind of grinds you if nobody talks and the commander actually starts killing the guys one by one, doesn't it?
Now, let's say that you are the commander of the prison, and you know who was the guilty one. Would you not call that guy to step forward, and then shoot down only him - rather than everyone one by one?
I know I would. There is no point in genocide against innocent guys....or gals:
Josh 7:1 But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things; for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things; and the anger of the LORD burned against the people of Israel.
Josh 7:18 and he brought near his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Josh 7:19 Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and render praise to him; and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me."
Josh 7:20 And Achan answered Joshua, "Of a truth I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I did:
Josh 7:24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the mantle and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters, and his oxen and asses and sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the Valley of Achor.
Josh 22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah break faith in the matter of the devoted things, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And he did not perish alone for his iniquity.'"
John 11:50 you do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish."
Similarly, a police officer firing his drawn service pistol does not fire at everyone in a crowd, but only against the felon criminal deserving to get shot at.
The traffic cop does not flash his squad car's blue and red lights against everyone he can on a freeway, but only against the one speeder he is targeting and intends to stop.
In stark contrast, the terrorist frequently leaves his or her roadside bomb to go off against any random vehicle that triggers it - even blowing up one of his or her own comrades if they're not warned about it. The terrorist who has explosives strapped to himself or herself, or walks into a crowded area with a pressed-trigger hand grenade ready to let it loose at whatever time he or she chooses, plans to blow up not only himself or herself (for whatever ridiculously-counterproductive delusionally-murderous cause) but also innocent people (friend or foe) at random - whoever happens to haplessly be there at the time.
That is realistically not good for whatever cause for whoever! At least hitmen assassins and car-bomb professionals target only one victim with their high-powered rifle crosshairs or explosives-wiring techniques.....hopefully only if that one target deserves such targeting.
It is both problematic and lamentable when retaliation is inflicted by an angered person on one or more who certainly do not deserve such persecution and infliction.
For example, if an irresponsible sometimes-anonymous girl briefly flashes an unusual amount of her nudity to some erotically-arousable guy and then quickly moves on to a safe haven of some sort, the man (damnably now made into a suddenly-incited rapist) might consider taking out his promptly-built-up sexual desire on some innocent modestly-dressed woman who did nothing whatsoever to merit molestation.
Deut 22:25 "But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.
As you can see, it behooves a potential rapist to make sure that the human female he targets for assault and whatever sexual connection involved is not engaged to some guy, and instead carefully selects a non-armed non-VD-infected (hopefully-virgin?) non-married immodest female to molest, with the following follow-up:
Exo 22:16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall give the marriage present for her, and make her his wife.
Exo 22:17 If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money equivalent to the marriage present for virgins.
Exo 22:19 Whoever lies with a beast shall be put to death.
Deut 22:28 "If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,
Deut 22:29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her; he may not put her away all his days.
By now, it should become clear to the reader that what is being mentioned are two types of WMD's (that is: Weapons of Mass Defilement), one of which are diabolical seasonal items consisting of women's "fashions" and "styles" quasi-clothing such as sleevesless shirts meant to bare naked arms to general public view, shorts and swimwear meant to expose nude legs to general public view, and sandals or flip-flops meant to expose bare toes to general public view as primary WMDs....then PG-13 photos and videos of the same on computer screens, in magazines, newspapers, etc. as graphical-image representations (secondary WMDs) reflecting primary WMDs previously mentioned as a basis for more-severe imagery of sometimes-private and more complete indecent exposure of the R and X and XXX-rated categories.
WILL there be unilateral disarmament concerning what was stated above? WILL everyone cooperate with enforced signed treaties so as to not spew out any immodest radioactive fallout at any time on the planet which sadistically-dispersed lewdness would damage especially male human lifeforms situated peacefully within the environment?
At this point, it should be mentioned that inanimate manufactured items such as sleevesless shirts and shorts and swimwear and sandals are NOT the problem which as separate or combined entites benigning existing do not cause defilement, but instead the perverts and pervertesses misadvertising and misusing them. Similarly, guns (along with rocks and ropes and kitchen knives and hammers and electricity and poison and gravity and so on) do not kill, but instead people kill:
Col 2:20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations,
Col 2:21 "Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch"
Col 2:22 (referring to things which all perish as they are used), according to human precepts and doctrines?
Sleevesless shirts and shorts and swimwear and sandals can be used with no one else around for whatever strange purposes, as they can when at home in private with one's own spouse or spice.
Related to all that are cases involving indiscriminate random placement of publicly-accessible porn among both the innocent and the guilty (the decently-clothed and the immodestly attired). But selective discrimination as to precise, strictly-limited, and timely placement of such lewd time bombs is instead what at least should be considered:
Jer 31:30 But every one shall die for his own sin; each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Eze 18:20 The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
Luke 23:15 neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him;
Luke 23:22 A third time he said to them, "Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving death; I will therefore chastise him and release him."
Acts 13:28 Though they could charge him with nothing deserving death, yet they asked Pilate to have him killed.
Acts 23:29 I found that he was accused about questions of their law, but charged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment.
Acts 25:25 But I found that he had done nothing deserving death; and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him.
Understandably, it would be best to accordingly and proportionally punish ONLY temporarily?-immodest human female(s) who caused the whole crisis in the first place:
Song 2:15 Catch us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom."
Such "catching" does not necessarily mean inconveniently capturing errantly-immodest gals for involuntary sexual-bondage utlization and consequential false-imprisonment legal implications, but preferably means citing, fining, and even temporarily jailing such harassing sexual offenders by either citizens-arrest initiation or instead 911 cellphone pleas placed to appropriate and accomodating law-enforcement officials.
So, concerning contemplation of making porn available to the general public at large for retributional purposes, it would be ideal to quaranteen and confine sexually-offender harassing gals and force them onlythem (who themselves have in effect forced non-soliciting guys to glance at what those guys never asked for) the retributional porn pictures to proverbially "show them how dirty their faces are in a mirror" - or better yet, cornering the possibly-viciously-defensive girls and confront them with pertinent anti-immodesty Bible verses specifying exactly their immodest offense - whether mopheaded loose long hair (see RSV's and NASV's Numbers 5:18 in context and Song 7:5 in context), sleeveslessly naked arms (see Second Samuel 13:18 in the RSV and NASV though not KJV-type Bibles), slackslessly nude legs (see Isaiah 47:1-3), soxlessly-exposed-toes feet (see Jeremiah 2:25), tops of buttocks crack (see Isaiah 20:4), bared-crotch pussy (see Isaiah 3:17), etc. in relation to God-through-Saint-Paul's directive for more-gullible-than-men non-aborting inferior-gender to be "adorned modestly in decent attire" according to First Timothy 2:8-15.
One also considers the possibility of making it easier for guys wanting to self-sodomizingly (i.e. masturbationally) lust and ejaculate by facilitating rather immediate access to free porn (of whatever seasonally-variational types and degrees) without them having to waste much time and energy and money laboriously and embarrassingly searching for it.
Certainly, some geographical areas at certain times of day and night where such fellows would probably congregate and be located, as within an "adult" bookstore, erotic magazine or video shop, or internet-accessible computers placed facing certain corners within public libraries could contain or access reliably-residing porn designated for such eventually-impotentizing-during-later-years deviations.
Again, how insidious it is when innocent onlookers and bystanders who happen to accidently pass by get visually assaulted also - whether by in-motion life-sized porn of real people or by images of such on computer-screen and TV monitors. That is not unlike the situation in the 1920s and 1930s when Chicagoland and other gangsters elsewhere hit bystanders also in the process of gunning down opposing mafia family associates during inner-city turf wars.
In conclusion, if one seriously and thoughtfully considers it expedient, worth it, and viable to non-dangerously target porn view only to and against certain immodest offending girls and women, one must do all he or she can to make sure - as much as possible - that innocent modest people are not also included in the retaliatory porn attack. Strategically and tactically, "collateral damage" in surprise-attack porn-presentation demolition against dirty-minded and dirty-misdressed (publicly-immodest) female sexual offenders (carelessly or deliberately obsessed with particularly-seasonal licentuous and lascivious exhibitionism) must to be kept at an absolute minimum for the wellbeing of the entire community:
Gen 18:23 Then Abraham drew near, and said, "Will You indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Gen 18:24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will You then destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it?
Gen 18:25 Far be it from thee to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
Gen 18:28 Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will You destroy the whole city for lack of five?" And he said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."
Gen 20:4 Now Abimelech had not approached her; so he said, "Lord, will You slay an innocent people?
I very recently saw a church billboard, stating:
"Tell the children that 'God loves you.' "
That can be a highly-deceptive statement. However, the opposite would sound diabolical:
"Tell the children that 'God hates you.' "
Actually, a just, righteous, and fair combination of both is necessary (albeit potentially confusing) to state the true and realistic attitude of God towards children. Consider the following Scripture verse:
Matthew 10:37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me....
Yes, yes. I know the verses in the Bible in which Jesus told the disciples to "let the little children come to Me" and "God so loved the world that He gave..., "God is love," and so on.
But one-sidedly stating that God only and always loves children gives them the false and misleading impression that they have carte blanche opportunity to do anything they want, whenever, and however - without any restraint, restrictions, or retributions for certain speaking and actions.
Carefully reading, honestly understanding, and properly applying the totality of the entire Holy Bible, one does much better to compare God to The Perfect Highway Cop. As long as drivers obey the rules of the road, they will not see red-and-blue flashing lights suddenly tailgating them. In fact, police are there "to protect and to serve" as stated in their motto. God is love, and His created phenomena are love - as long as one does not violate or attempt to violate such.
The basic unit of human togetherness - the nuclear family - has been touted by "conservatives" and religious folk aplenty. And there is much to positively proclaim about such, as even a brief search in the Bible proves. However, within that same Bible is a VERY serious negative warning concerning and not regarding human nuclear families and the members comprising such.
Consider the following Matthew chapter 13 Scriptural text:
3 And [Jesus] told them many things in parables, saying: "A farmer went out to plant.
4 As he planted, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,
6 but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.
7 Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
18 Understand the story of the sower.
19 When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in their heart; this is what was sown along the path.
20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, these are they who hear the word and immediately receive it with joy;
21 yet they have has no root in themself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.
22 As for what was sown among thorns, these are they who hear the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
23 As for what was sown on good soil, these are they who hear the word and understands it; they indeed bear fruit, and yield, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."
24 Jesus told them another [myth, fable, allegory, or (best yet):] parable, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who planted seed in his field;
25 but while people were sleeping, his enemy came and implanted weeds among the wheat, and went away.
26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.
27 And the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not plant good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?'
28 He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?'
29 But he said, 'No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"
54 And coming to his own country He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56 And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?"
57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."
58 And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their disbelief.
Note that most of Christ's Twelve Disciples had no problem accepted the human Jesus as the God-man Messiah regardless of the presence of the Lord's familial brothers and sisters in the vicinity, being that they had a penitent faith and humble actually-devoted-to-God spiritually-enlightened and cooperatively compliant attitude....in constrast to those divisive trouble-causing type of jews destined to murder Jesus and be executed themselves in the not-necessarily-antisemitic holocaust of 70 A.D. because of their disbelief and jealousy, who used the excuse of humanness and family-name associations and familiarity to express their disgusting disbelief and non-acceptance against (not "of") the Lord.
The three stories above within the same New-Testament chapter are related.
The first segment of the chapter explains why many who respond to "altar calls" during a religious rally or crusade do not retain their promised commitment to continue with and grow in the Lord. They come under false pretenses of their own faulty superstitions and presumptions, perhaps partly incited by various exhibitions of childish/baby-Christian carnality of the spiritually immature around them who are or pretend to be converts. When such rookie newcomers finally realize what is involved in terms of Biblically-required discipline and consistent truly-holy lifestyle which they have been inducted into, they (more and more) stay away and alienate themselves from their initial impulsively-accepted emotionally-based response to The Call of the Moment.
Some continue on deceptively in their association with the saints for whatever cause of importunity, as covertly wicked and disbelieving weeds seamlessly engrained with the righteous wheat - both perhaps supporting but also polluting the choice and genuinely elect of the Lord.....so seamlessly, in fact, that both types become circumstantially and maybe even financially or economically dependent on each other in various ways because of certain unique resources each has been given and acquired.
Galatians 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:5 For each man will have to bear his own load.
1Thessalonians 4:9 But regarding love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another;
11 to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you;
12 so that you may command the respect of outsiders, and be dependent on nobody.
But such situations can (thankfully!) never be permanent, but instead only temporal, in that....ultimately....neither type will be satisfied by repeatedly being influenced and under duress by the other. Yet, it will take a Divine Umpire to separate and segregate them (whether that be non-reversable geographical relocation, death, and/or Judgment Day)- when the time eventually comes for that, as the second segment of the chapter reveals.
Let me at this point give you an example.
During a religious rally or crusade, there are carnal immature Christians, pseudo-"christians," non-Christians, and even some anti-Christians present on the premises who are immodestly and indecently flaunting (whether silently and subtly, or blatantly and overtly) LOOSE long hair, naked-armed or bare-shouldered sleeveslessness, nude legs exposed by slacksless shorts, and wearing toes-exposing sandals without socks or boots on:
[ Numbers 5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and unbind the hair of the woman's head, and place in her hands the cereal offering of remembrance, which is the cereal offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.
2Samuel 13:18 Now she was wearing a full-length robe with long sleeves; for thus were the virgin daughters of the king traditionally attired. So his servant put her out, and bolted the door after her.
Song 7:5 Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.
Isaiah 47:1 Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones and grind meal, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no man.
4 Our Redeemer--the LORD of hosts is his name--is the Holy One of Israel.
Jer 2:25 Keep your feet from going unshod and your throat from thirst. But you said, 'It is hopeless, for I have loved strangers, and after them I will go.'
1Corinthians 11:13 Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14 Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,
15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
16 If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no such practice, nor do the churches of God. ]
Apply such despicably-evil carnality to above-stated scenarios. Pertaining to those purporting to be "Christians" who are misdressed in such filthy, vile, and obscene ways, they misrepresent true and authentic Biblical Christianity, giving real Christian a bad name:
Song 8:4 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up nor awaken love [by misdisplaying your body parts] until it please.
Romans 2:24 For, as it is written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of [immodest] you."
The third and final segment of the chapter gives one type of assembly where such defilement-by-impenitent-immodesty occurs, and it happens whenever "the family" gathers for birthday or graduation parties, weddings, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, funerals, etc.
It is true that:
Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Deuteronomy 5:16 "'Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

Deuteronomy 13:6 "If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which neither you nor your fathers have known,
7 some of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other,
[ Matthew 7:5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Luke 6:42 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye. ]
8 you shall not yield to them or listen to them, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him; them to put them to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10 You shall stone them to death with stones (gun them all down?), because they sought to draw you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and never again do any such wickedness as this among you.
12 "If you hear in one of your cities, which the LORD your God gives you to dwell there,
13 that certain base persons have gone out among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of the city, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which you have not known,
14 then you shall inquire and make search and ask diligently; and hey, if it be true and certain that such an abominable thing has been done among you,
15 you shall surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword, destroying it utterly, all who are in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.
16 You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its open square, and burn the city and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God; it shall be a heap for ever, it shall not be built again.
17 None of the devoted things shall cleave to your hand; that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you, as he swore to your fathers,
18 if you obey the voice of the LORD your God, keeping all his commandments which I command you this day, and doing what is right in the sight of the LORD your God.

Much consternation comes from family relatives who disregard the following and instead marry disbelievers or pseudo-believers:
2Corinthians 6:14 Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
And for those already married to imperfect mates?:
1Co 7:12 To the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he should not divorce her.
13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is consecrated through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is consecrated through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is they are holy.
15 But if the unbelieving partner desires to separate, let it be so; in such a case the brother or sister is not bound. For God has called us to peace.
16 Wife, how do you know whether you will save your husband? Husband, how do you know whether you will save your wife?

Romans 16:17 I appeal to you, brethren, to take note of those who create dissensions and difficulties, in opposition to the doctrine which you have been taught; avoid them [ without succombing to forced civil-rites non-discrimination, but instead rejecting deviant diversity ]
Titus 3:5 holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people.
1Peter 3:7 Likewise you husbands, live considerately with your wives, bestowing honor on the woman as the weaker sex, since you are joint heirs of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.
Whatever the human relationship, whether parent to child, child to parent, priest or pastor to congregant or congregant to priest or pastor, employer to employee or employee to employer, military to civilian or civilian to military, government to governed or governed to government....The Lord Jesus has top priority always in everything, followed by those of the body of Christ (which hopefully consist first of the spouse, then inlaws, then friends), then outlaws - wanted or not.
