Tomorrow I'm jetting off to the Holy Land, and for a three-month sabbatical--which will include time in Rome, Turkey, and probably Germany. I expect to post when I can; I figure I'll post at least as often as before. Perhaps more? Who can say?
For about two weeks, folks have been asking me, "are you packed?" And they are surprised when I've said no, even this afternoon. How far ahead of a trip do you pack? Let me know in the comments.
As it happens, I came over after Mass, and took a few minutes. I'm mostly packed. I have a few more things to pack and off we go, tomorrow afternoon.

October 10, 2016, marks the 10th World Day Against the Death Penalty. African Prisons Project are proud to have seen some of our law students at the forefront of fighting against the death penalty in both Kenya and Uganda from death row itself. There are 104 countries across the world who have abolished the death penalty for all crimes, however, Kenya and Uganda retain the death penalty as a mandatory sentence for crimes including murder, treason and robbery with violence. Although neither country has performed an execution in the past ten years, the large number of convicts currently sentenced to death in Kenya and Uganda presents one of the most significant obstacles to the protection of human rights and the guarantee of a humane criminal justice system. APP students have used the law to challenge these inhumane practices and not only have they successfully won their own freedom, they have also substantially weakened the death penalty in their respective countries. Here we share the stories of three changemakers who have made a significant impact in changing the law surrounding the mandatory death penalty.
This year we saw Susan Kigula win her freedom having been serving a death sentence at Luzira Prison in Uganda. Susan entered Luzira Women's Prison 16 years ago at the age of 21 having been convicted of murder. Through our Leadership Programme, Susan was given the opportunity to study law, providing her with an understanding of the legal system and equipping her with the tools to fight her case in court. Susan was initially hesitant to study, however, with some encouragement she has since received her Diploma in Common Law and has recently completed her LLB law degree through the University of London's distance learning programme. Prior to any formal studies, Susan and her fellow death row peers launched a constitutional challenge of the mandatory death sentence in Uganda. This challenge led to the Ugandan Supreme Court ruling that the mandatory death penalty was unconstitutional. Susan's death sentence was reduced to a custodial sentence of 20 years, from which she was liberated earlier this year. The success of Susan's case continues to inspire other APP students and provides hope for prisoners on death row.
Benjamin Kamugisha was arrested and remanded for two years before being sentenced to death in 2003 at the age of 18. Benjamin refused to let his early imprisonment define him. He and a group of death row prisoners challenged the legality of the death penalty in Uganda in 2009, and they were permitted to proceed in mitigation hearings to reduce their sentences. He received his Diploma in Common Law in 2014 and is currently finishing up his second year in the LLB program with the University of London. In late March 2016, Benjamin aided his state-appointed lawyer in his mitigation hearing and successfully had his death sentence reduced to a custodial sentence of 18 years. Since he had already served 15 years Benjamin was released immediately and will spend his 31st birthday as a free man, his first adult birthday spent outside of a prison.
In Kenya, Wilson Kinyua, an APP student and death row inmate, led the most successful and prominent constitutional challenge of the death penalty in 2016. Wilson was arrested for robbery with violence in 1998 and sentenced to death in Kamiti Maximum Security Prison. He has since received a Diploma in Common Law and is in his second year of the LLB program with the University of London. Not only is Wilson studying law, but he is actively changing the law through a landmark petition. On February 24, 2016, Wilson and other death row inmates challenged the mandatory death penalty in Kenya, citing the example of their fellow APP student and exoneree Susan Kigula along with a strong case arguing that such a sentence was a fundamental breach of their right to life. In the absence of a lawyer, Wilson personally presented his case to the Milimani Court in Nairobi. On September 15, 2016, the Kenyan High Court ruled that mitigating factors and other pre-sentencing requirements would have to be considered by the courts before automatically applying the death sentence, a triumphant victory for Wilson and his fellow inmates. Although the Kenyan High Court did not rule to indiscriminately abolish the death penalty, Wilson will be given the opportunity to conduct a mitigation hearing similar to those of Susan and Benjamin in the hope of being liberated from his sentence to death. The case has come up against many obstacles and setbacks along the way, most recently with state appealing the High Court ruling. However, Wilson has shown courage and perseverance throughout the case and we continue to support him as the case continues.
Marking the occasion
Today, African Prisons Project, along with the International Commission of Jurist and Strathmore University will be raising awareness for the abolition of the death penalty. We want to see an end to the death penalty and we believe that this day is fast approaching for Kenya and Uganda. We are proud to know that our students are leading their communities on the path to justice as we see them using the law in an extraordinary way in order to change the world as they know it.

It's started to rain today but other than that it hasn't been bad here.
There's clear water in the rivers so there's plenty of bream and flathead.
On the rock walls and river mouths there are heaps of blackfish with this swell that's happening, and tailor will be mixed in with them too if you want to throw some lures around.
If you want to hit the beaches there will be heaps of bream and the odd jewfish.
Offshore there should be heaps of snap in close from around that 10m mark all the way out to 80m. Fishing in the shallower stuff, around 10-40m, is best at this time of year. If you want to go wider there are kingies at the lighthouse, and amberjack in amongst them.
With the moon the way it is, there will be heaps of trag, pearlies etc out in the deeper stuff for those anglers dropping paternosters.

The latest musical from Blumenthal Arts promises to rock audiences like never before. �We Will Rock You� features more than 20 of the biggest hits from iconic British rock band Queen, including �We are the Champions,� �Bohemian Rhapsody,� �Another One Bites the Dust� and �Somebody to Love.� These songs are woven into a futuristic plot.
The latest musical from Blumenthal Arts promises to rock audiences like never before. �We Will Rock You� features more than 20 of the biggest hits from iconic British rock band Queen, including �We are the Champions,� �Bohemian Rhapsody,� �Another One Bites the Dust� and �Somebody to Love.� These songs are woven into a futuristic plot.
�We like to describe this show as a combination of a rock-and-roll extravaganza and music comedy. It�s not your grandma�s music,� said Ryan Knowles, who plays Buddy. �This is a get-up-on-your-feet, scream-your-head-off, have-fun-and-party kind of night at the theater.�
�We Will Rock You� tells the story of a world where music has been banned and a monolithic corporation controls everyone and everything. That is, until a small group of rebels join together to bring back rock and roll, Knowles said.
The leader behind that revolution is Buddy, who�s named after Buddy Holly and �like a cross between Hans Solo and Willie Nelson,� Knowles said. He serves as the comic relief in the musical, although there are more romantic and dramatic moments as well.
�He�s a burnt out, hippie kind of guy,� he said. �He leads the rebels, and he�s got a lot of secrets of what rock and roll was.�
�My kind of music�
�We Will Rock You� is closing May 31 in London after 12 years on stage, but fall 2013 marked the start of the very first North American tour for the production.
It was created by Ben Elton and Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor. The two Queen veterans have been involved in the musical since its inception, and they were even present at Knowles� final audition callback for the current tour when he �had to sing Queen music to Queen.�
�Regardless of what city, state or country we�re in, it�s clear that people like Queen music,� Knowles said.
The actor�s love for the band goes back to when he was just a kid. In fact, the first album he ever purchased was �Queen Greatest Hits,� and he never gets tired of hearing the group�s music. Knowles said his personal favorite Queen song is probably �Play the Game,� followed closely by �Don�t Stop Me Town� and �Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy.�
�I�m a Queen guy. That�s my kind of music. It�s just too perfect that I was able to be a part of this show,� he said. �It�s been a wonderful experience.�
�Have a blast�
But, there�s more to �We Will Rock You� than just the legendary songs. The musical features 24 dancers, outlandish costumes, lots of humor, and rock-show-like lighting.
�Sometimes I wish I wasn�t in the show so I could just go out in the audience and listen,� Knowles said. �I�ve never seen an audience respond to a show like this. It is an electric theatrical experience for the audience.�
All of these elements add up to a show that�s accessible for the whole family. Knowles said a lot of parents even bring their children to �We Will Rock You� to introduce them to the music of Queen.
�It is literally a show for everyone. It�s really just designed to appeal to people�s sense of fun,� he said. �Turn off your brain and have a blast.�
But Knowles left one warning for the audience: Don�t leave the show early. The biggest and best number is saved for last.

This week, Transit Miami blogger Tony Garcia wrote about the whole urban development boundary debacle. While county commissioners deny any wrongdoing, it does seem that they getting very friendly with developers looking to build in the Everglades. Garcia had this to say about the commissioners decision to allow developers to build west of the UDB:
Maybe now when the Mayor vetoes this decision, some of the other commissioners will come to their senses and realize that this is a bad idea. The UDB line does not need to move for a long long time. We need to take advantage of the infrastructure that we already have rather than expand. Its very simple math: the more people living in one area the less it costs on a per person basis to provide public services. The same roads and sewers service sprawl neighborhoods at a density of 4 units per acre as they do at 200 units per acre. In a very direct way, our tax dollars go to subsidize neighborhoods whose tax base doesn't break even.

I love Wordpress. But I'm with Squarespace now. It's not you, it's me.
I was (and still am, actually) a Wordpress website developer for many years. I started out in Blogspot when I was just 14, and have continued designing and building websites in Wordpress, and now in Squarespace.
So many developers are so intense about this debate, because I know that Wordpress is great. It's flexible, has all the functionality in the world you'll ever need, it's cheap and you can move mountains with it. You really can. And Squarespace? It's just Wordpress' little brother. You are limited with what you can do with it, and you may not get all the bells and whistles that come with Wordpress, as hundreds of thousands of plugin developers add to its functionality daily.
Believe me, I have fought this. There is some sort of snobbery that comes with being a "website developer" that most people don't want to admit, but exists. Somehow, the better and smarter web developers choose Wordpress, while the other less-smart wannabes go with the limiting Squarespace (the debates all become this after a while, on the Facebook groups).
So... Why am I on Squarespace, having said all that?
Because for me, it really isn't a debate. I don't want to spend (or waste) time arguing with someone that I can code in Wordpress and how it is more superior. I get it. Everyone gets it. Wordpress has great flexibility and functionality. No one is disputing that. Yet more and more people switch to Squarespace everyday, as I've observed over the last two years.
Reason #1: Because it's just simpler
And simple is my thing in 2017. I just want to get things done. Because we spend far, far too much time trying to choose the best platform, trying to plan for the future "growth" and debating with people about what is the "right" thing to use or do. Bleh. Doesn't sound one bit like what I want to do with my online business.
True, Wordpress has all the bells and whistles. With the right developer, your options are limitless with Wordpress. But I have to ask you just one thing... Do you actually need all the bells and whistles, or are you just happy they're there?
For the most of us online businesses, we don't need the limitless functionality. There is a limited purpose for our website that quite frankly, Squarespace does and does well enough. So yes, in 2017 in my book, sometimes limiting our options can be better than having it all.
For example: You can sign up for Marie Forleo's B-School for $1999 (not an affiliate, launch period's over). You can also sign up for many, many months of membership on Skillshare. Both platforms are great. Both platforms teach you things. But B-School only teaches you one main thing. On Skillshare, you can learn almost anything you would want to.
But how many of us actually go ahead and learn everything we can on Skillshare, vs learning something really useful for ourselves with B-School?
For many of us, learning something meaningful and tangible in B-School trumped having the many months of Skillshare membership we never touched.
With Squarespace, I no longer have to worry about my hosting my website (though I still host my domain elsewhere) and transferring things here and there. I only need to login to Squarespace and manage everything right here. I don't need to worry about an update breaking my site (most of the time, anyway) or new security leaks from one of the 10 plugins I use on my site.
And for many of my clients, they want simple. They want to be able to make edits without running for the developer every time. They want to change something out without being afraid of breaking the entire site. They want to be comfortable with their website. They want their website to work for them, not the other way around.
Reason #2: There is always a better way to do things for someone
We all work in different ways. Different things work for different businesses. That's the beauty of running one! There is no one-size-fits-all and there shouldn't be. So for some businesses, Squarespace fits the bill. For others, Wordpress does a great job. We really shouldn't get caught up with which is "right" or "better".
New software and systems get invented every day for that very reason. Different people need different things.
I love that many landing page creation systems are being used right now (like ConvertKit, LeadPages, InstaPages and the like). Similarly, there are many course-running systems/software that are getting increasingly popular. Yep, you guessed it. You could create it with Wordpress, too. For pretty much free if you could do it by yourself or with a cheap plugin.
So why then do these systems/software exist? Because there is always a better way for someone to do things. Some people prefer spending a monthly fee on Teachable, for example, to get their courses set up and easy to use, because then they wouldn't have to worry about video hosting, payment issues, or designing a professional-looking course page. Others prefer spending a few thousand dollars on a great backend on Wordpress, custom designed and coded by a great Wordpress developer.
Is any of them wrong? Not at all! Different things work for different people. Squarespace is merely a better way for many of us to get our websites up and running well.
Reason #3: I get things done faster
I used to be paralyzed with perfectionism when I wanted to launch something new on Wordpress. Because you could spend hours researching the best, new plugin for SEO, for speed optimization, for opt-in forms, for quizzes, for anything you could think of under the (digital) sun!
And guess what? I never launched. I stuck with my old website (which was outdated and needed refreshing) for a long time because I didn't want to go through all that trouble again. Sure, I had all the control and flexibility, but I also had a lot more work on my plate.
Everything was my issue. Mobile-friendliness. Security Updates. Plugin Updates. Wordpress Updates. Theme Updates. SEO. Speed. And it's not like I couldn't deal with them. I just didn't want to, anymore. My clients didn't, either. In fact, most clients don't even know or understand the amount of work we put in the backend of developing a Wordpress site so that it has all the functionality they need (cue custom code or new plugin I spent hours finding, researching and styling). They don't bother, yet I'm spending sweaty hours on something that doesn't necessarily bring them more joy.
With Squarespace, I don't need to worry about tech support anymore. Squarespace has pretty great customer service, and everything else is pretty much built-in. I follow their guidelines so my site is optimized, but that's about it. I launch my beautiful, user-friendly website with half the stress it would've taken me to launch a custom Wordpress one. I still enjoy designing around and with the templates that come with Squarespace, and I make far less edits. Clients are generally happier with the system, too!
Spending less time fussing over the website and finishing website builds faster (I brand and build websites in 12 working days, y'all!) also frees me more time to do the other things in business that bring me joy and that matter to me, i.e. my coaching services and honing my branding and designing skills. Win win!
So there you have it. My top three reasons on why I switched to Squarespace. The fact that many talented brand and website designers also stand by it for years have helped me take the leap, too. While this may not be my ultimate destination (as I said, I still love Wordpress!), for this season, Squarespace works for me.
It is just what I need, nothing more, nothing less. :)
And as with everything on the internet, take what you need and leave the rest. You can run your business (and your life) much simpler and with more joy this way.

The S&P 500 and the narrower Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) were down 0.34% and 0.48%, respectively, at 10:15 a.m. EDT. In company-specific news this morning, Switzerland's largest bank, UBS (NYSE:UBS), has announced a reorganization that could serve as a case study for major U.S. banks, particularly Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Citigroup (NYSE:C).
Along with its first-quarter results, UBS announced a major reshuffling of its legal structure this morning with two key aims: creating a bank that it is easier to break up in the event of a crisis and reducing capital requirements.
These are the broad lines of the changes. UBS will create a group holding company with a share-for-share exchange offer. Within the holding company, it will create a domestic subsidiary encompassing domestic retail and corporate banking and the Swiss-originated wealth management activity, with an intermediate holding company for its U.S. businesses. The U.K. franchise sits on its own and will see increased capitalization in order to match increased risk.
Finally, the holding company will issue debt, the proceeds of which could be allocated to a struggling subsidiary in case of a crisis. In order to sweeten the plan for investors, UBS plans to pay a SFR0.25 special dividend along with the share exchange. The bank said the reorganization does "not require UBS to raise additional equity capital, and [is] not expected to materially affect the firm's capital-generating capability." UBS also confirmed its 15% target for return on equity, but said it may not achieve it until 2016.
Swiss regulators have done an admirable job of reining in the country's bloated banking sector in the wake of the financial crisis (U.S. regulators could take a page from their book), and UBS has been proactive in adapting to the shifting regulatory and financial environment. That's a good example for Bank of America and Citigroup, both of which have stumbled in their dealings with regulators recently. Citigroup was blindsided when the Federal Reserve rejected its capital return program in March; meanwhile, Bank of America received the go-ahead for its plan -- then had to suspend it once the bank owned up to an accounting error that overstated the amount of its regulatory capital.
Although the top U.S. banks have been tasked with drawing up "living wills" that would provide a detailed road map for winding down the institution in a crisis, "too big to fail" remains an open problem. In creating a "bad bank" for noncore assets, Citi has gone further than BofA. However, rather than applauding the bank, the market appears to have tarred it as the problem child of the industry, with shares of Citigroup continuing to trade at a discount to those of Bank of America. BofA's slip up suggests there is not as much to separate the two as investors want to believe. With another European bank, Barclays, announcing its plan to set up a "bad bank" structure of its own, perhaps this is an opportunity for Bank of America to ask itself whether a more ambitious turnaround is appropriate?

माँ भारती के अनन्य सेवक "लौह पुरुष" सरदार बल्लभ भाई पटेल की जयंती पर भावपूर्ण स्मरण के साथ श्रद्धाजंलि💐
Just to give a tiny glimpse of how gigantic the process of Unification might be let me present some facts.
It took 23 years for unification of Italy constituted of 9 provinces that are populated by people of same color, language and religion (to a major portion).
It took Germany 9 years to unite 39 provinces with major occurrence of instances of bloodshed ( close to 10,000 died in the process).
Whereas Vallabhbhai Patel, executed the Herculean task of uniting more than 500 provinces, the habitats of whom belonged to different religions, contrasting cultures and customs, within 18 months, and that too without any major incidence of bloodshed (the police action in Hyderabad Operation Polo might be a minor exception but that too was executed with such tactfulness that total death-count from the Indian Army stands at less than 10).
That's the greatness of this man. But unfortunately history has not done justice to the memory of this great man renowned in the European nations as Bismarck of India.

Duke's Take... Happy New Year
Lucy's a handful all by herself. She doesn't get into nearly as much trouble as she used to, but I still have to let her think she's in charge- because when she gets mad about something, she sasses so much that both Mom and I end up with a headache... And speaking of Mom... Well, she's blonde, and she's tired, and I really have to keep an eye on her. She says she doesn't know what she would do without me, I guess that means that I'm doing a good job!
One night she came home with a can of whipped cream! I have to admit that was a lot of fun! I will make whatever sacrifices are necessary to help my human out!
I actually noticed when she opened the fridge this morning that there is still a can of whipped cream in there, and I couldn't help but wonder when we were going to get a chance to make her laugh again? Maybe we can all do that again tonight.
Of course, we found a way to participate. Not only did we taste test everything that she needed tasted, but we cleaned crumbs up off the floor, and I stood guard over the cookies when they came out of the oven. Just to make sure that none of them got away, you know how tricky cookies can be!
Friends, make sure your humans know how willing you are to be a cookie guard, it's a great job, and us canines are very skilled at it. We are very protective of the cookie! Especially when they're peanut butter cookies.
My mom said to make sure you know that while we did get to taste test the cookies, we weren't allowed to have any of those kiss things that were on top of them!

University: Harvard University
Major: Computer Science
Languages: English, Swahili, Pare, Spanish
Biography: I was born and raised in Tanzania, where I lived with my brother and mother until coming to the US to attend Harvard University. For High School, I attended the International School Moshi in Tanzania for High School and obtained an International Baccalaureate Diploma.
I have had a challenging childhood due to my family's financial issues and because of it I learned early on how to be independent and entrepreneurial. I started my first business in April 2012 when I was only 15 years old, making and selling shawls and coasters which I sold in my community. This experience shaped my future as it showed me that I can make a meaningful contribution to my family as well as the greater community. I now strive to make a difference in my country once I complete my studies and gain experience in the technology sector.
I decided to pursue Computer Science since I felt that through this concentration, I will get tools that I can use to then effect change in my community.
After graduating from college, I hope to work in the technology industry where I can learn from industry leaders and devise ways to effect change through technology in my own country. After I have gained sufficient skills and experience, I plan to return to Tanzania and become a leader in technology, and to conduct charitable work in the education sector.

Alberta Capital Region Wastewater Commission
The Alberta Capital Region Wastewater Commission (ACRWC) is a model of regional cooperation providing service to 13 municipalities in the Alberta Capital Region. Formed in 1985, in response to growth in the region at the time, the Commission was and is governed by the Municipal Government Act with a mandate to provide safe, reliable, cost-efficient and environmentally responsible wastewater service. Today, the ACRWC serves over 200,000 residents.
Mike Darbyshire, general manager, describes it in the simplest terms: "The ACRWC deals with transmission and treatment of wastewater, that's what we do. Each community connected to the system collects its own wastewater and discharges it into the system. Then we take it and bring the water to the plant and treat it, before discharging it to the North Saskatchewan River."
How it all works
The transmission system consists of 120 km of gravity sewers, 51 km of pressure pipelines and five pump stations. This system conveys wastewater to the ACRW Treatment Plant from member municipalities in the west, north and east sections of the region. It also conveys wastewater from the south members (City and County of Leduc, and the Town of Beaumont) into the City of Edmonton system for treatment.
In exchange, the ACRW Treatment Plant takes wastewater from Clareview in northeast Edmonton and from the Clover Bar Industrial Area. This exchange is regulated by the SWAP Agreement between Edmonton and the Commission (which expires in 2015).
As for the treatment, the provincial government requires the plant treatment processes to achieve ammonia-nitrogen concentration to less than 10 mg/L during winter months and less than 5 mg/L during summer months, and total phosphorus less than 1.0 mg/L.
Darbyshire says this mandate is relatively new. "We get an operating approval that sets the parameters for how well we have to treat the wastewater," he explains. "In 1996, the government changed it so that, by June 2005, we had to go from conventional treatment to an advanced treatment processes of biological nutrient removal (BNR) and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. We had to start treating for nitrogen and phosphorous before the wastewater gets discharged to the rivers."
Why it's important
Because wastewater management doesn't affect household drinking water, there is room for confusion as to why it's important. What the public should understand is that treatment removes or reduces contaminants in the water, so that the treated effluent from will not create pollution to water body after it is discharged.
If wastewater goes untreated, the organic matter it contains will decompose and lead to nuisance conditions, such as production of malodorous gases. It also contains nutrients that can stimulate the growth of aquatic plants and may contain toxic compounds or compounds that potentially may be mutagenic or carcinogenic. If this water is ingested, it can cause a lot of problems for animal and human populations. For these reasons, to protect public health and the environment, the wastewater should be treated to remove the nuisances/contaminants so that it can be reused or discharged into the environment (water bodies such as a river or a lake).
Continuing to meet needs
The Alberta Capital Region Wastewater Commission will continue to maintain wastewater quality well into the future. In fact, the Commission has a major project out for tender to increase the capacity of part of the plant; it is also building a new pump station in the City of St. Albert. "The expansions are mainly to meet the needs of growth," says Darbyshire. "We're developing an asset management plan, to expand and to repair. After 25 years, some of the infrastructure wears down. We're maturing to the point of developing replacement programs. There will always be improvements. In the next decade, there could be more stringent water requirements in treatment that may require an extra process."
"One other program we have initiated in the last year is a source control program, which targets the industrial/commercial sector," Darbyshire adds. "It's an area that we're working on with our members, talking with industries and getting out there to do site samples. The program is to promote responsible wastewater practices."
Although the ACRWC will remain committed to its mandate, it's not only up to the Commission to ensure our safety and health. There are several things the public can do to help within our homes (see sidebar). Together, we can all participate in helping the environment and our future.

Calluses are areas on your feet -- usually found around the heel, ball of the foot and on the side of the big toe -- where the skin has hardened due to constant pressure and friction. An athlete, like a runner or dancer, will have calluses thanks to consistent practice. Likewise, footwear like high heels or tight shoes can have the same effect.
To treat calluses, you have a few options. There are pumice or callus stones that you use, preferably on damp skin, to soften the callus and any snags or rough patches. Another tool that some women prefer is a foot file -- similar to a callus stone, it has a bit more abrasion to it to smooth the skin. (You can also use these tools just to take dead skin off your heels.) Regardless of what you use, stop if it hurts or if you break the skin.
The key here is to smooth the callused area, not remove or cut the callus. Aside from the infection risk, calluses, however unattractive, protect our feet. Taking away that protective layer is like putting baby skin in the sun without SPF; the skin is vulnerable. I learned this lesson the hard way when I had a pedicure (and got my calluses shaved) the day before a tennis match. I don't remember if I won or lost but I do remember hobbling to the bathroom that evening to soak my newly blistered feet.

Saint John's Abbey Church: Breuer, the Benedictines and Minnesota's Religious Architecture
Lecture given by Dr. Victoria Young
Date & Time:
John Roach Center 126
Please join us as Dr. Victoria Young speaks to the importance of architecture in sacred spaces in a lecture entitled "Saint John's Abbey Church: Breuer, the Benedictines and Minnesota's Religious Architecture."
In the 1950s the brethren at the Benedictine Abbey of Saint John the Baptist in Collegeville, Minnesota decided to expand their campus, including building a new church. This talk highlights the selection of Breuer and the dialogue of the design process, as Breuer instructed the monks about architecture and they in turn guided him and his associates in the construction of a modern sacred space in the crucial years of liturgical reform. Dr. Young will also place this work within the context of Minnesota's religious architecture, including the various chapels on the St. Thomas campuses, to showcase the multiple viewpoints one can take in their design.
A reception in Sitzmann Hall will be held immediately following the lecture. This event has been organized by the Department of Catholic Studies and is co-sponsored by the CSMA program, the Habinger Institute for Catholic Leadership, and the Theology Department. For more information contact: Laura Stierman firstname.lastname@example.com or 651-962-5864.

[RECIPE]: How to Make Kimchi/
If you're a fan of Asian food, you might be familiar with the Korean side dish called Kimchi. It's a fermented, spicy cabbage dish, but there are all kinds of other variations of it made from daikon (turnip), carrots to cucumbers.
As an amateur fermenter, kimchi's one of the staples in my kitchen and it's one of the easiest foods to make, and also something I recommend to my clients if they're looking for more ways to increase their probiotic foods.
What Is A Probiotic?
A probiotic is something that contains the good bacteria that inhabits your gut. It's one of the reasons why many people take a probiotic supplement in capsule form. The other way of increasing the good bacteria in your gut is to eat probiotic foods - the time it takes to ferment the foods helps to grow the colonies of bacteria that can support good gut health after eating them.
Examples of other probiotic foods:
Yogurt (fermented milk)
Sauerkraut (fermented cabbage)
Kombucha (fermented black or green tea)
Kefir (fermented milk or flavoured water, dependent on the grains used)
Miso (fermented soybean paste)
Tempeh (fermented tofu)
Benefits of Kimchi
Why all this talk of probiotics and good gut health, and why is kimchi great for it?
Immune booster. 70% of your immune cells lie in your gut as GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue), so a happy gut helps to lay the foundation for a happy, healthy you.
Improve gut flora balance. By having a higher level of good bacteria, it helps to crowd out/ reduce the level of bad guys - the yeasts and other mycotoxic bacteria that produce the gases and toxins that make you bloat, inflame your gut wall linings leading to 'leaky gut'/ intestinal permeability, which could then lead to food intolerances.
Prebiotic and probiotic. The great thing about kimchi is that it's not only a probiotic that contains colonies of good bacteria, the Chinese cabbage used in kimchi is also a prebiotic - Prebiotics contain the nutrients that feed and nurture the good bacteria once it's in your gut. So you're getting a 2-in-1 gut health booster.
Kimchi Recipe
Here's the basic kimchi recipe I love - loosely adapted from Sandor Katz's "Wild Fermentation" book. Sandor Katz is one of the old-school gurus of fermentation - who had a crazy moustache and personality to go along with it before the hipsters even knew what "hipster" meant.
All of his fermentation books are always referenced and highly revered by some of my food idols like Michael Pollan, so if you're interested in more fermentation techniques (eg. making cider/ vinegar/ pickles), definitely look up his books.
1 head of or 500 grams Chinese cabbage (napa or bokchoy if you can't find Chinese cabbage)
5 cloves garlic, chopped (or more!)
5 - 8 red chillies, de-seeded (or more! Any form of hot peppers - fresh, dried, or in a sauce with no preservatives)
1 Tbsp Asian Chilli powder (optional - if you like a good kick)
3 Tbsp fresh ginger - peeled and roughly chopped (or more!)
1.5L water
5 Tbsp sea salt
1 daikon radish or a few red radishes sliced thinly
1 - 2 carrots, sliced on a diagonal, ½cm thick
1 - 2 onions and/ or leeks and/ or a few scallions and/ or shallots and/ or sliced turnip
Combine water and salt and mix until the salt dissolves. Add more salt if needed - it should taste really salty as you're making a brine here.
Coarsely chop the cabbage, slice the radish, turnip or carrot and add to the brine solution.
Place a plate or large plastic lid on top of the veggies and a weight on top, like a jar filled with water.
Allow this to soak for 8 hours or overnight. Remove the veggies by scooping them out of the brine mixture. Reserve the brine for later use.
Puree the chili, chili powder (if you are using it) ginger and garlic in a food processor or high speed blender, add brine as needed to blend and make a thick paste.
Put on a pair of washing up or latex gloves so you don't burn your hands and mix this paste into your vegetables well, being sure to coat each piece. (I actually have a pair of "kimchi gloves", only for making kimchi!)
Finally, pack the kimchi into your prepared jar(s). Make sure to leave a 5 - 10cm gap at the top of the jar for the kimchi to expand.
Leave at room temperature for about a 4 – 8 days, checking after 4 days for required 'sourness'. When the desired flavour is reached, transfer the jars to the fridge. This will keep for months if kept refrigerated.
I still have kimchi from this batch made in September last year sitting in the fridge and it's still (surprisingly) good! Traditionally, they used to be buried in the ground and kept for years underground… so… it's all good. If you see any tell-tale signs of blue/ white/ green mould, or if it tastes "off", then definitely bin it. There's a "good" kind of off and a "definitely not good" kind of off. Fermenting your own foods starts to hone your tastebuds. Enjoy the process!

Eye-opening tips for a better TV experience
Posted February 2, 2018 - Blog Posts,News and Blog,Uncategorized
From adjusting your TV settings to choosing the best soundbars, there are lots of ways to make your viewing experience better than ever.
So here are some handy tips for improving your enjoyment of watching TV!
It's a setup!
If you've just bought a new TV, or even if you've had your existing one for a while, fine-tuning some changes to its setup could make a world of a difference to your viewing pleasure.
There's a lot to consider, from making sure you have the right aerial and adjusting the brightness and contrast settings to positioning the TV in the best place. Luckily, there's plenty of useful information available to guide you.
For example, the Living with Freeview section of our website offers some helpful guidance on setting up a Freeview TV, as well as pointers on aerials and reception and step-by-step instructions for retuning your equipment.
And this recent article from What Hi-Fi offers further helpful information on positioning your TV, connecting it to the internet and adjusting your TV's settings to achieve the best picture.
Sound decisions
It's great to watch your favourite shows in living colour and high definition. But if Phil and Sharon from EastEnders sound as if they're arguing inside a biscuit tin, that's surely going to detract from your enjoyment of a proper east-end barney.
Connecting to a dedicated speaker, a soundbar, a soundbase or even to your own hi-fi can make TV as much of a joy for your ears as for your eyes. Which is why you should take note of our advice on improving your TV sound.
And here's some up-to-date info on the latest best buys on soundbars and soundbases, along with guidance on connecting your TV to a stereo system.
Dream streams
There are lots of streaming devices around, and most are super cheap and easy to use. But it's worth thinking about the kind of services you want to watch before making your choice.
Here at Freeview, we've reviewed some of the best streaming devices around.
And for the very latest on streaming devices, check out this handy guide to the best media players of 2018.
Quality catch-up
One of the really great ways of enhancing your viewing experience is by accessing on-demand services via the Freeview Play platform.
More and more TVs now come with Freeview Play as standard (check out the Freeview Play product range here).
Freeview Play offers access to the major TV catch-up services in the UK: BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, Demand 5 and the UK TV Play app, which includes programmes from Dave, Yesterday, Really and Drama.
It's all very impressive, but Freeview Play is working hard to make great TV even better. It's already equipped to deal with 4K, and its latest specifications includes support for the broadcast-ready standard known as Hybrid Log Gamma (not a Star Trek character, but a high definition solution designed to deliver superior picture quality).
To find out more about the benefits of Freeview Play, check out our helpful guide.

The New York Times reports that a man claiming to be a senior Taliban commander flew on NATO aircraft, entered the presidential palace in Kabul, discussed peace efforts with president Hamid Karzai and received a "sizable sum of money" for his trouble. Problem is he wasn't the Taliban's Mullah Mansour!
Meanwhile in London, 27-year-old Janis Nords has been tried and sentenced after a spree of fine dining that left 9 top London restaurants footing a $9300 bill after Mr Nords did the old eat 'n run trick.
The slippery epicurean has been ordered to pay the outstanding bills and banned for 1 year from 6 London postcodes, home to many of the English capital's top restaurants.
You Cannot Win
The last leader of the Soviet Union has told NATO that "victory is impossible in Afghanistan." Mikhail Gorbachev told the BBC that the alternative to withdrawal from Afghanistan was "another Vietnam."
You would've thought that the US which provides the overwhelming majority of NATO's forces in Afghanistan already knew this. It's not like this is the Americans' first foray into Afghanistan. Back in the 1980s the United States and its allies fought the Soviets by proxy in Afghanistan, supporting local Afghan militias, aka Mujahideen. The Muj, as they were called by the press corps, proceeded to turn the Soviets' life into a living nightmare prompting the eventual withdrawal. The Muj used US Stinger and British Blowpipe missiles as well as Egyptian-made AK-47s (I saw one there in 1995) and an assortment of other bang bang materiel. That the Muj then pointed their guns at each other and turned virtually the whole country into rubble is superfluous. Afghanistan became a forgotten country in the collective conscience of the world. By then it didn't matter as the Soviets had been defeated. As for the unfortunate civilians, well... who cares.
Isn't there somewhere a saying about history repeating itself?
Bags of Cash
So Hamid Karzai acknowledges that his presidential office receives hundreds of thousands of Euros in cash and that this is absolutely "transparent". Maybe the transparent bit is the plastic bags that the money comes in.
Not that Aghanistan is the only place that this takes place in. But the cash is ususally delivered in briefcases, backpacks or satchels. Obviously the intention of leaking this story to the New York Times was to embarrass Karzai and expose the cash source (Iran), which it did, hence the press conference and the admission.

Annie's vision was fluffy, delicate spring blooms paired with muted green foliage. We worked closely with Annie and her mother-in-law to bring the vision to life. We used roses, peonies, viburnum, astilbe, sweet pea, ranunculus, lily of the valley, clematis, snap dragons and Queen Anne's lace. Annie and Vince's first date was at Chiptole so it only made sense for them to stop there on the way from the ceremony to the reception! (We instantly connected with Annie because our tiny chihuahua is also named Chiptole!) Drawing on European traditions, Annie wanted a statement flower crown and we're always down to make flower crowns! We also loved the personalized copper Moscow mule mug wedding favors. We always love working with Mikkel Paige Photography. These photos are divine! Anna Passarelli

Admitting . . . we are struggling to keep our heads above water. August - October are brutal for Brian in terms of work hours. He honestly just never stops because there are not enough hours in the day and days in the week. The kids feel the stress, I feel the pressure; Brian feels all of it. Things never truly slow down when you're a full-time teacher and children's pastor, but these months can suck the life out of us if we're not careful.
Thankful . . . for car pool two days a week (especially since I don't have the morning shift!).
Drinking . . . triple venti iced espresso with 3 pumps of white chocolate mocha. Let's blame Becky for this.
Eating . . . lots of fresh fruit and veggies because it's all in season!
Laughing . . . Rory described the Olympians as "burly."
Waiting for a ride to school; she's decided she wants to wear hairbows again.
Feeling like this is the last summer for cute little boutique dresses. So sad!
All the scowls all the time from this one. He's learning how to be a teenager while we're learning how to parent a teenager.

Fear of the dentist is actually a fairly common feeling and nothing to be ashamed of. However, if it starts to keep you from getting the dental care you need, then it becomes a real problem.
No matter how much technology and techniques have advanced, a lot of people will always hate the idea of going to the dentist. The source of this anxiety may come from a number of places, including:
· Low pain tolerance
· Uncomfortable about anesthetic
· Fear of needles
· Anxiety about people too close to your face
· Simple embarrassment
There are several ways that you can self-diagnose your own dental anxieties, and when you can pinpoint the source of your concerns, you can work on overcoming them. This might include everything from making an appointment specifically to look around the dentist office and acclimatize yourself to the surroundings to bringing a close friend as moral support.
The best thing you can do to deal with this kind of anxiety is to speak openly to your dentist and express your concerns. They'll know how to help you through it.

As a quick update to the story we ran yesterday regarding Sony's high PlayStation 3 game prices, it now appears that Sony is looking to head off some understandable unrest here in the States. Sony Style has begun taking preorders for PS3 games like Call of Duty 3, and they'll only run you around $59.99 USD, roughly the same as a comparable Xbox 360 game. This means that, while you'll pay more for the console itself, the games won't cost you more than they would if you owned an Xbox 360; good news for anyone interested in grabbing one of the PS3s that will be fairly scarce once November 17th rolls around.

Health care reform in Illinois may originate from the federal law, the Affordable Care Act, but it is up to each state to implement many pieces of the law. For that reason, we made Illinois' implementation of health care reform the focus of our latest multimedia Neighborhood Stories series. The video, Policy to the People (by Jay Dunn) is the third in our series, and is accompanied by an article, Making Health the Best Policy (by Jeff Steele).
As health reform policies take shape in Illinois, it is important to make sure they benefit the citizens of the state. In the video, Senator Donne E. Trotter (IL -17th District) explains what he sees as necessary to keep policy geared towards the people, specifically those who are currently uninsured or underinsured. He advocates a "three pronged attack," that involves policymakers, medical care providers and the citizens and health care consumers themselves, in the establishment of reform. "What we're looking at," Sen. Trotter explains, "is not as much what this law is going to do for people like myself, but for the future of America. We're going to have a healthier society."
The accompanying article, Making Health the Best Policy, explains the steps that Illinois policymakers have taken since 2010 to establish health care reforms right here in the Prairie State. Those who back the Affordable Care Act are attempting to impart positive messages, to counter the law's opponents working daily to ensure its provisions never go into effect.
We spoke to key policymakers in the Governor's Office, the Department of Health & Family Services (HFS) and the Illinois General Assembly about their vision of how reform will impact west and south siders' ability to gain insurance. Under the new health care law, HFS Director Julie Hamos says: "We believe there will be one million more people who will have access to private health insurance through the exchange, or public insurance through Medicaid...These are people who have not had a doctor, or a health checkup, in many years." Michael Gelder, Governor Quinn's senior health policy advisor and Chair of the Illinois Health Care Reform Implementation Council says, "People on the west and south sides should see this as an opportunity to get health insurance. They should also see it as an opportunity to make their elected representatives, both federal and state, hear that they're enthusiastic about [reform], and that they expect us to deliver on that."
Check out these two great new pieces, as well as the other articles and videos in the Neighborhood Stories section of the Illinois Health Matters website, or on our new high quality Vimeo channel here. Stay tuned for the next installment where we look at how the Affordable Care Act is impacting local community organizations.

Begin by thinking about how you are likely to use credit and then comparing the types of charge cards and credit cards available. Some of them offer excellent value, while others may cost more to use but provide special services you may find helpful. The best approach is to carefully research card rates, fees and benefits—perhaps even creating a chart for easy comparison.
cards are used to get cash and complete other transactions at a bank
machine or automatic teller machine (ATM). Many ATM cards can be used in
selected computer networks, such as Cirrus, HONOR, NYCE and STAR. For
example, your ATM may work in any bank, supermarket or other store that
is part of the Cirrus network.
ATM cards are increasingly being used as debit cards as well. Like all debit cards, the money for these purchases is transferred out of your account within that day's business cycle. If you aren't sure if your ATM card is also a debit card, you can call the Customer Service number on the back of your card and ask the representative.

(Bloomberg) -- New Zealand's central bank said risks to the nation's financial system have receded after house-price inflation slowed and global dairy prices recovered from a slump.
"New Zealand's financial system remains sound and the risks facing the system have reduced in the past six months," Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler said in the bank's semi-annual Financial Stability Report Wednesday in Wellington. Still, he warned that global uncertainty remains elevated and that New Zealand would be vulnerable if a sharp reversal in risk sentiment drove up borrowing costs for banks.
New Zealand home-owners have built up record amounts of debt in recent years as house prices soared, which may leave many stretched if borrowing costs were to rise quickly. Wheeler has cut his benchmark interest rate to a record low of 1.75 percent to spur weak general inflation, requiring him to introduce lending restrictions in an attempt to curb housing demand.
He said today that those restrictions have caused house-price growth to slow over the past eight months. However, "house prices remain elevated relative to incomes and rents, and any resurgence would be of concern," Wheeler said.
A recovery in dairy prices over the past year had reduced risks faced by the dairy sector, though some parts of carry excessive debt and remain vulnerable, the RBNZ said.
New Zealand's banking system "maintains strong capital and funding buffers, and profitability remains robust," the central bank said. Still, banks had increased reliance on offshore funding for credit growth and remain exposed to a shift in global sentiment.
"A sharp reversal in risk sentiment could lead to higher funding costs for New Zealand banks and an increase in domestic borrowing costs," the RBNZ said.

UN to let Arafat forces use its flag during evacuation
With the unanimous support of the Security Council, UN Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar agreed that, for strictly humanitarian reasons, the ships that are about to evacuate Yasser Arafat and his 4,000 soldiers from besieged Tripoli will be allowed to run the UN flag alongside the flag of their country of origin , reports Monitor contributor Louis Wiznitzer.
The United States at first strongly opposed the move, arguing that it would give the PLO ''unwarranted prestige.''
According to reliable sources, it was Lebanese President Amin Gemayel, who persuaded the State Department to change its mind, by stressing that (1) Lebanon was more interested in getting rid of the PLO than in the way in which it departs and (2) that Arafat's departure would spare thousands of innocent civilian lives in Tripoli.
French, Greek, and Italian ships, chartered by Saudi Arabia, will take some of Arafat's men to North Yemen, and the others, including Arafat, to Tunis, where he has established his headquarters.
French warships will escort the private vessels carrying the remnants of the PLO forces, because, according to one well-placed source, Israelis and Syrians may not be deterred by the UN flag in trying to shoot and to sink Arafat.

Tropical storm watches were posted in the Lesser Antilles Saturday(Sept. 16) as the National Hurricane Center declared that Potential Tropical Cyclone 15 is now Tropical Depression 15. The low pressure system, 695 miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles, was packing top winds of 35 mph, but was expected to become Tropical Storm Maria later in the day.
The system was moving west at 20 mph, prompting watches for St. Lucia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Barbados, Dominica, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, meaning tropical storm conditions are possible within 48 hours.
The new depression is one of three systems being tracked in the Atlantic by the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane Jose is expected to threaten the east coast of the United States with tropical-storm-force winds over the next few days as it wends north between the coastline and Bermuda. And forecasters began issuing alerts on newly-formed Tropical Storm Lee in the far eastern Atlantic on Saturday morning.
Tropical Depression 15 is forecast to become a tropical storm later today and could be near hurricane strength when it approaches the Leeward Islands, said Hurricane Specialist John Cangialosi in a 2 p.m. forecast advisory message. Additional tropical storm or hurricane watches are likely to be issued later Saturday.
He warned that the initial direction west of the storm was unclear because it has not yet formed a clear center. The storm should follow a slower west-northwest motion during the next few days as a mid-level ridge of high pressure to its north weakens but remains nearly stationary.
"The NHC track forecast takes the system across the Leeward Islands in a few days and then near the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico by the end of the forecast period," which is five days, Cangialosi said in a forecast discussion message. He said that on its expected path, the storm will see conditions ripe for strengthening over the next few days, thanks to low wind shear readings and very warm ocean temperatures -- over 84 degrees.
The forecast calls for the disturbance to become a tropical storm by Saturday evening, a strong Category 1 hurricane with 85 mph winds by Tuesday afternoon, and to have top winds of 90 mph on Thursday, the last day of the forecast period.

With Whitby currently top of the Evo-Stik NPL Premier, Andrew Snaith compared Chris Hardy's current crop with the Northern League champions and FA Vase winners led by Harry Dunn, 20 years ago.
DAVE CAMPBELL v SHANE BLAND
Campbell is undoubtedly a club legend, second only to Paul Pitman in appearances with over 400 to his name. Like Bland, a renowned shot stopper, 'Cammy'
was sometimes seen as being prone to a lob, something Bland was perhaps expected to suffer with being under six foot (relatively short for a keeper).
I would maybe surprise a few by giving Bland the edge here, his handling has improved, his confidence has grown and depending on the course his career
takes, has more than enough time (Shane is 22) to comfortably break Campbell's appearance record.
GRAEME WILLIAMS v CALLUM MARTIN/KIERAN WELEDJI
'Jock' was an ex-Aston Villa trainee with boundless energy who worked tirelessly on the right of defence. Martin and Kieran Weledji, who has held the
right wing-back position recently, are much more attacking options than Williams, in my view.
Martin, a re-programmed right winger, has been a revelation
under Hardy, who praised Martin's "superhuman fitness".
Weledji, perhaps better built for the centre of the park, seems to have relished having the
pressure eased and getting a run on the right, using his strength to good effect, brushing off opponents and making a real impact. I would again give 2016 the nod here.
DAVE LOGAN v DAN MCWILLIAMS
One of a number of veteran former Football League stars, 'Logie' had a wand of a left foot, renowed for his set-piece prowess and was even trusted to play as
a wing-back by Harry Dunn at the age of 39 during the FA Cup First Round run where Plymouth Argyle were taken to a replay. Dan is a different sort of player.
Like Logan, he likes to get forward at every opportunity, but more like Martin, he relies on his pace and movement to add width and hit opponents on the
break quickly. I'd argue Logan made a huge impact and holds the cards here, but like many in the current squad, Dan is a young player who does have the skills to catch his opponent in time.
DAVE GOODCHILD v ANDY 'RIO' MAY
Goochy v Rio, the battle of the youngsters. Goodchild was schooled alongside Lawrie Pearson and Mitch Cook, two hugely-experienced figures in the 97 squad.
May has the versatile Luke Bythway and veteran Mark Robinson, who has a long Football League career with the likes of Hartlepool United and York City to
count on. Goodchild may just edge this battle because of his versatility.
May loves to get forward and for me, appears to be the better ball player, however
Goochy can boast appearances up front- he topped the scoring charts under Dunn at one point- and even in goal where he secured a penalty shoot out success.
I would again add though that May has all the tools to overtake Goodchild's legendary standing with Blues fans- he has a huge future.
LAWRIE PEARSON v LUKE BYTHWAY
The two strongest centre halves in the air, two warriors and leaders. Lawrie has the Football League experience with Hull and Darlington, while Luke boasts
immense versatility.
Able to play in any central outfield role, which he showed in the 3-1 win over Marine recently, Luke also has time on his side to try
and match his rival. Pearson made the number 5 shirt his own during the Wembley season, before later retiring, if Bythway achieves the same, he'd rightly
be proud, but he does appear to have the ability to make a similar impact with the Blues.
MITCH COOK v MARK ROBINSON
Both vastly-experienced left-sided defenders, Cook with Scarborough and Blackpool, this pair have the ability to inspire those around them. It's no
coincidence that Cook specialised in developing young players at Scarborough Town, Bridlington and Pickering, while Robinson, as a PE teacher and coach,
shares that ability to get the best out of junior footballers.
For Cook, with Williams and Goodchild, read Robinson with Weledji, May and McWilliams.
Robbo will be desperate to enrich his career late on with a Wembley appearance, as Cook did in '97, his fitness edge may well make that possible, though
it would have to be in the FA Trophy, not the Vase.
KENNY GOODRICK v ADAM GELL/DAVE MCTIERNAN
Kenny has a notable height and power advantage here, where Gelly relies on his composure on the ball and superb workrate to break up opposition attacks.
Both offer superb cover for the Blues backline, though Kenny has the edge, like many of the 97 vintage, with his experience and strength.
Not many of the new squad have these qualities, which gives Goodrick the edge, though they tend to make up for it with very high fitness levels.
Gell is one of many former Guisborough Town players in the Blues line-up and is always keen to get up the field and get a shot in.
Macca is much more of an attacking player, who has
gradually dropped back as his career has wound down. Now third in line for appearances, at 32, few would back against him passing Campbell's tally, next term.
NEIL HODGSON v STEVEN SNAITH
Two tough tackling skippers here. It's virtually impossible for me to pick a winner here. Many forget how good a footballer Hodgy was, instead remembering
the blood and thunder tackles and leadership.
Snaith is in a similar mode, he can run all day and loves getting stuck in, sometimes with adverse results on his disciplinary record. Snaith has been successfully transformed into a midfielder after starting off up front.
He didn't find the net as often as he'd have liked but always gave 100% and is actively revelling in being part of the game more in the centre of the park.
One thing's for sure, if Snaith continues his current levels, he'll soon be mentioned in the same idolised breath as club heroes like Hodgson, who it's great to see backing the team from
the terraces.
ANDY TOMAN v DALE HOPSON
Every good team needs a spark, a link-up man, someone capable of a moment of brilliance, out of nothing.
This is where this paircome in. Toman provided the bullets for Paul Pitman and Graham Robinson while Dale supplies Mikey Roberts and Matty Tymon.
Toman was the master of the incisive through-ball, knowing instinctively where Pitman would be- Yakka was blessed with a natural awareness of where a loose ball might drop.
Dale, who adds a great free-kick and crossing ability to his repertoire, is also a game changer like his opponent here.
Toman is another who arrived at WTFC after a long Football League career, with both Hartlepool United and Darlington, amongst others.
Hopson has already represented the Quakers at Conference level and aged just 24, has more than enough time to return to the professional ranks.
GRAHAM ROBINSON v MATTY TYMON
Very similar builds for these tall strikers, though where Tymon relies on excellent ball control, hold up play and awareness, Robinson was all about
searing pace.
A great foil for Paul Pitman, he would surprise defenders with his speed and workrate. Born in South Africa, but formerly living in Robin Hood's Bay, Robinson now works for Sunderland FC's international development department.
Tymon is the ex-Workington player now in his third spell with the Seasiders, Robinson was repeatedly brought back by Harry Dunn, eventually settling into a midfield role.
Both remain underrated by some supporters, but played vital roles in their respective teams.
PAUL PITMAN v MIKEY ROBERTS
Pitman is a Whitby Town legend, probably the club's best known player, he holds both the all-time appearance and goal scoring records with 378 strikes
(including 60 goals in a season) from nearly 500 outings.
Yakka had an innate ability to find the net and should really have played in the professional ranks, he was certainly goodenough.
Like Pitman, Roberts made his name in non-League, firing in the goals for Spennymoor and Guisborough- where he formed
a prolific partnership with Danny Johnson.
Pitman was already an experienced marksman where he joined the Seasiders from North Shields, whereas Roberts has age on his side and could definitely overtake his rival if he stays at Whitby, long term.

Planning a major event such as a gay wedding means juggling a million little details while still keeping your eye on the big picture. It's no easy task and planning a gay wedding present certain unique issues which should be considered carefully. While most of the issues in planning a gay wedding don't differ from that of any other marriage celebration, there are some things which require a bit of special attention.
Starting your Happily Ever After
Matching Outfits – Yay or Nay?
Perhaps the most well-known issue for same sex weddings is the clothing you'll both wear. Whether the couple is made of two men or two women, there are choices well beyond the traditional for everyone. Some women choose to wear matching or complimentary dresses or suits while others have one woman in a dress and the other in a tux. Men can also opt for matching or complimentary tuxedos or suits and, of course, there are always couples who opt to depart from the traditional look entirely.
At the end of the day, your wedding should be a reflection of you. If you have a theme for your wedding, choose outfits that fit in and, if not, simply choose clothes you're comfortable in and that make you feel good to wear. That can mean just about anything depending on the person, so sit down as a couple to discuss what works for you both.
Seating Arrangements
Make your seating chart simple and easy to follow
Another issue for any wedding is, of course, seating arrangements. For a same-sex couple, this may mean taking into account the political, religious and personal views of their guests. Many same-sex couples find they have a diverse set of friends and family so seating arrangements can be a challenge.
Sort out the people you know you shouldn't seat together. If your Aunt Kathy is a devout Jehovah's Witness, it's probably best not to seat her next to your cousin Tammy who just got became a Wiccan. Similarly, transgendered friends and family may be more comfortable sitting at a table with at least one other trans person or, at the very least, a table free of Republicans.
Assign seating by informing guests which table to use, but not which seat. This allows for some extra freedom for guests and also prevents you from coming off as the seating police. Begin planning your seating arrangements once you have a full guest list and then tweak the plans as RSVPs come in. Leaving it until people have responded will make the task overwhelming.
The Rings
What's a wedding without the rings, right? LGBT couples used to have to cobble together wedding sets from disparate rings but today, couples can easily find gay friendly wedding ring sets as well as LGBT inspired jewelry from which to create their own special set. Best of all, these LGBT inspired creations aren't separated by gender – there are no specific rings for men or women – it's all about finding the style that truly reflects you and the love you share. Whether that means rings emblazoned with rainbow pride, rings that embrace the strength of LGBT history or gay wedding rings that simply dazzle the eye, there's something for everyone now.
Names, Phrases and Special Wording
As you both stand in front of your family and friends, you'll pledge your love to each other through vows and other symbolic phrases. Will you promise to love, cherish, honor and obey or will you pledge to stay on equal footing, help each other and always provide insight and advice? Will you call each other husband or wife or will you opt for partners?
Run through the service options you have and decide not only on whether or not you'll write your vows yourself, but also how your officiant will word the service. There are dozens of different scripts to choose from and it's easy to use one as a foundation and then customize it or to read through them for inspiration then create your own.
The Procession and Wedding Party
Speaking of customizing your service, it's also important to consider your wedding procession and the wedding party, if you choose to have one. There's nothing wrong with carrying on the traditional option of each person having their own party (Best Man, Maid of Honor, Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, etc) or sharing a single party or even doing away with it all together.
With or without a wedding party, you each still need to walk down the aisle. This can be done together to show your union right from the start or you can come in separately. Again, this is a personal choice and there's really no wrong way to do it. Some couples want to be given away by their parents or other meaningful adult while others choose to make the walk arm in arm.
Last, but certainly not least, there are your guests. When inviting people from out of town, include a list of LGBT friendly hotels, bars and other businesses which can make them feel at home. If you have a break between your service and your reception, include local spots of area interest for all our guests so they have some options and don't find themselves twiddling their thumbs waiting while you're having your photos taken.
Also keep in mind that for some guests, this will be their first experience with a same-sex marriage. Take some of the worry out of the experience by offering clear instructions on things like seating for the ceremony (will you separate guests based on who's here for one bride versus the other?) and providing guests with a service program so they know what to expect.
